...DETERMINATION AND HIGH PURPOSE There's many a slip 'tween the cup and the lip is a proverb whose truth we have had occasion to experience quite often in the last century. Sin- cere, detailed schemes for the improvement of society have appeared, only to vanish as quickly as a wisp of smoke. We, however, were fortunate in the appointment of a leader whose foresight and determination has made Weber one of the foremost institutions in the field of secondary education. It is true that the Rev. Stanley J. Sokulski, C.R. upon his elevation to the position of principal found the basic elements of Catholic leadership in the core curriculum. However it was also true that the efficacy of these principles was decreased by reason of a restricted program. The first problem was to plan and put into eFfect o broad course of studies. This was quickly and efficiently solved, and we had the good fortune of watching the success of the plan during our four years at Weber. A long range program of co- curricular activities was the principal's second effort. The organization of two new clubs within the last few months heralded its inception. The plan calls for an organization to meet the demands of each student within the next few years. The result of these eFforts has been an equality of training for the individual student in keeping with his personal ambitions. Page I4
