Spirited Involvement: priests' 'soul' concern Good guys don't always wear white hats.-At St. Paul, the good guys wear black birettas. Equipped with an endless supply of absorbing anecdotes, Pastor Monsignor Frank McPhillips com- municates to both student assemblies and senior re- ligion classes the idea that reaching out in today's world is their vital responsibility. Father Wallace, athletic director and profes- sional Laker fan, personally promotes sports partici- pation. Student vitality takes an upsurge when ever he puts over a pep rally skit. As Y.C.S. advisor, Father Welch explores current controversial topics with opinionated members. Soph- omore and junior religion classes draw double spiritual dividends from his intimate insights into modern community living. Invigorated by spirited priestly involvement, Paulites find encouragement in knowing that the good guys are on their side . it 9

SAT registration deadlines and scholarship opportunities, often only fuzzy recollections to the homework- harried upperclassmen, inevitably re-appear on their list of things to dol' with a counselor's reminder in the form of a PA announcement or special meeting. I just don't know what to do anymore! When personal conflicts or difficulties have a Paulite uptight , counseling conferences, reassurance, and objective advice works wonders to put those problems out of sight . ketfuls of problems 19
