Principal ' s Message BR. MAHER M. A. Dear Students and Friends, I am delighted to provide a principal ' s message to the Collegian. When I was first assigned to the College in 1 966, I had the happy duty of working with Brother Lyons on the Collegian. Whenever I think of Brother Lyons and those years, I find myself grateful that my first introduction to the College was through Brother Lyons. His spirit of scholarship and dedication to excellence led me to establish the award named in his memory. That spirit was something I found throughout the school as I worked on the yearbook. I found it particularly reflected in the Collegian since his guiding hand was present in a direct way. This book attempts to reflect that spirit and has always done a creditable service in maintaining the spirit. My prayerful wish for all of you, particularly the graduates, is that his spirit will find a place within you more enduring than the pages of this book. Sincerely yours, Michael A. Maher, C.F.C., M.A. Principal
