and sent Fr. Joyce to Nonantum Hill. Reluctant to part with him, the student body presented Fr. Cuffe with a set of Breviaries as an abiding token of the esteem in which he was held here at the School. Consequent upon Fr, Cuffe's transfer, Fr. Mclnnis appointed Fr. Flanigan Faculty Director of Athletics. On the 15th of October We were privileged to join with Fr. Mclnnis in the cele- bration of his Silver Anniversary in the Priesthood. ln keeping with the sacred character of the observance, it took the form of a Solemn High Mass of Thanks- giving celebrated at the Cenacle Convent, Lake Street, by the Headmaster, assisted by Fr. Flanigan and Fr. Redding as Deacon and Subdeacon respectively. All the other members of the Faculty took part in the ceremony and the sermon was preached by the Very Reverend john Wright, Secretary to Archbishop Cushing. Together with our parents we hlled the Cenacle Chapel to capacity, and it was an impressive sight to see the student body receiving Holy Communion from Fr. Mclnnis' hands. At the end of Mass, the entire group of students assembled in the auditorium to have Myron Bullock act as their spokesman in offering congratulations to the Headmaster. A beautifully enscrolled Spiritual Bouquet was the School's tribute to Fr. Mclnnis, and his reply to our gift stressed his gratitude and appreciation of the spiritual char- acter of our remembrance. Our last Football season has been a never-to-be forgotten campaign. Once again we emerged from a very strenuous season with a single defeat, and that at the hands of Providence Country Day School under distressing circumstances.
