Mass on Campus
For Father O'Brien
It was a cold, damp Tuesday
morning. The student body of St.
Edward High School, saddened
by the loss of their dear friend,
Father O’Brien, walked slowly to
Our Lady of Victory Chapel for
a Solemn High Requiem Mass.
The Mass was celebrated by
Father Eugene Dore, C.S.C., Pas-
tor of St. Ignatius Church. Dea-
con was Father Donald Draine,
C.S.C. of St. Edward University.
Sub-deacon was Father Paul
Bailey C.S.C., also of St. Edward
University. Father Joseph Rick
C.S.C. gave the sermon.
The weather suited the occasion.
It was a sad, dreary day which
fitted the mood set by the passing
of Father O’Brien.
A feeling of loss has settled
over the St. Edward High School
campus now that he is gone.
Everyone knows that no one can
take his place in the hearts of
the students of St. Edward, past
and present.
THE ECHO
or it should be as far as you’re
concerned. Have you considered
where you are headed after grad-
uation? Are you going on to Col-
lege? If so, where? Are you going
to go to work ? If so, doing what ?
Yep, it’s later than you think.
Have you seriously studied your
next big step?
Let’s look at the college end of
the question. Are you college ma-
terial? If so, what is your chief
interest? What colleges offer the
best program in your field of in-
terest? What about their size,
rating, facilities, tuition? Can you
meet their entrance requirements?
Finding answers to these questions
is vital to your future.
This guiding information is near
at hand, but it requires a little
application and industry.
There are many college guides
you can consult, books which give
you information on the various
colleges in the country. These
can prove helpful in narrowing
down the field. Your Principal or
some teacher you wish to consult
will be happy to direct you to a
prudent choice. He is sure to have
a number of college catalogues
for you to examine. Consult with
your parents and other intelligent
spect, but the final choice should
remain an individual decision—
yours.
Having made your initial in-
vestigation and narrowed your
choice to a few schools, you can
write for their catalogues and il-
lustrative literature. You will then
acquaint yourself with their vari-
ous entrance requirements-—re-
quired courses, scholastic aptitude
tests, achievement tests and other
similar data which will make your
preparation so much easier and
permit you to make a happy and
prudent choice.
A visit to a prospective campus
while classes are in session or
during the summer months is, of
course, advisable. Appointment for
such visits can be made with the
Director of Admissions of the col-
lege.
The above is a mere reminder to
you Seniors to ACT NOW. This is
not too early to act, but if you
put it off, it may be too late to
get to the college of your choice.
Your Principal or your guidance
counselor will be happy to assist
you in every way. Seniors, you’re
in business for yourselves. Action
now is the keynote. Your future
is in your own hands. Provide for
it intelligently—and NOW.
MOVIE REVIEW
The Big Fisherman
“The Big Fisherman” is a
movie which has glorious color,
a biblical setting, cinemascope, and
the latest in sound techniques;
but these attributes cannot re-
place the lack of essentials that
make up any halfway enjoyable
movie.
The acting in general is below
par, and this is especially demon-
strated in Howard Keel’s portrayal
of St. Peter. However, it is not
entirely the fault of Mr. Keel,
since the script has St. Peter pic-
tured as a lovable, two-fisted
ruffian who likes nothing more
than a good fight or knocking
heads together (including those of
Sts. James and John).
The plot, if it can be called a
plot, does not introduce the main
character until halfway through
the picture and even after this
point it rambles on and on with
just the weakest thread of con-
tinuity and without a distinguish-
able central theme.
Admittedly, it is difficult to
portray virtue as dramatic or
dynamic. But, it doesn’t have to
be made to look quite so feeble
as do James and John in the cheek
turning scene. This depiction was
particularly inept.
About the only good thing that
can be said about the movie is
that it does not go the way of
most of the so-called “biblical”
epics with regard to decency and
morals. It does not use the biblical
theme as a jumping off point for
a detailed examination of pagan
orgies. The potentially lurid as-
pects of the plot have been taste-
fully underplayed.
All in all the picture is about
the most insipid that has been
offered in quite some time. One
should be paid to sit through its
two hours and fifteen minutes.
