Free born; Vice-president Mrs. Ja mes Tatum; Treasurer Mrs. Massay; Secretary Mrs. Gary Harvey and Recording Secre tary Mrs. F. Murrison. The group was impressed with the favorable reports of the various committees. Inasmuch as it is not pos sible for many members of the Society to attend meetings of the Northwest Deanery, the la dies were pleased to hear ex cerpts from the Deanery’s last meeting as given by Mrs. Mi tchell and Mrs. May. They poin ted out that the theme of the meeting had been centered around ’’Changes within the Church.” However, it was felt that our thinking should be that the “Church is growing rather than changing.” It was revealed also that Mrs. Grace Johnson of our parish was elected as treasurer of the Northwest Deanery. Reservation cards are avail able for the Retreat at Ignatius House, June 23rd through 26t. Same may be secured by con tacting Mrs. Frances Holmes or Mrs. Georgia Wright.

ON NATIONAL SCENE Jesuit Cites Urgent Need For Lay Theologians NEW ORLEANS—Full-time lay theologians are becoming a necessity in the religious edu cation erf adults, the director of an institute to train them said here. BOLIVIA, S.A. Church Ups With Radio Literacy Programs WASHINGTON — The often- heard charge that the Church in Latin America does not show enough concern for the poor and the working classes is not true, said Auxiliary Bishop Gennaro i Prata of La Paz, Bolivia, t „ , Perhaps at times it paid undue attention to those who were wealthy, he said, but through the years it continual ly trived to provide education and opportunity for everyone through its schools and col leges, and especially its voca tional schools. The Church in Bolivia is now planning a vast literacy pro gram using radio programs. German Catholics will help pro vide support for this program. Bishop Prata is in the U.S. seeking more diocesan priests and Papal Volunteers for Latin America to serve in Bolivia. He is also here to gain sup port for Our Lady of Wisdom College In Cohabama. The college is now training as many teachers as all of the state teacher-training col leges. The college was started in 1956 by Augustinian Fathers from The Netherlands and the Theresian Institute of Spain. In 1961 It received a grant of $500,000 from Richard Cardi nal Cushing of Boston. Bishop Prata had high praise for Papal Volunteers, and said that they were serving as teac hers, nurses, social workers, and credit union organizers in the La Paz archdiocese. He said that more were needed. He also described the great work being done by American diocesan priests in Latin Ame rica, and felt that these priests were especially useful in en couraging young men in Latin America to become diocesan clergy. Bolivia now has priests from the St. Louis archdiocese, the diocese of Kansas City and Buffalo, and from the St. James the Apostle Society. The vocation shortage is cri tical in Bolivia, he said, but pointed out that when the new national major seminary was opened last year it only had 17 students, and this year it has 42. One of the great misunder standings that Americans have of Latin America, the Bishop explained, is that they think of that area as being one entity, whereas there actually are de finite differences that distin guish each country there. Americans, too, he went on, seem to be unaware of the great Indian population that La tin American countries have. Too often, he added, Ameri cans view Latin. American’ events only in the light of their experiences in the U.S. and only from their knowledge of U.S. culture and its historical deve lopment. .The development of Latin America, h&pointed»cmt, has been entirely different from that of the U.S. For these reasons,, the Bis hop said, it takes about two years before American priests coming to Latin America can fully understand and appreciate the people and the culture there. AT ST. PIUS Father Eugene R. Zimmers, S.J., director of the University of San Francisco’s Institute of Lay Theology, said in an inter view the 50 full-time lay theo logians in parishes around the country are the answer to the need for practitioners of prac tical theology on the parish le vel. They concern themselves primarily In getting adults to become committed Christians in the full sense of the word, not just ’’sacramental Catho lics,” said Ernesto Garcia, as sistant director of the institute. They try, Garcia added, to get commitments from the “so- called outgoing Catholic,” the indifferent Catholic, the defec tive or “lapsed” Catholic and from those in the community who have no-commitment to-arty church. Although the parish priest may be well intentioned, Father Zimmers said, he has a broad training and many tasks and cannot limit himself to one area. The lay theologian can be a valuable asset to the pa- Pratt Merits Top Award., Latin Test Gives Rating Junior Andrew Pratt merited the highest ranking in the Na tional Latin Examination.

Honorable merit was accord ed Maureen Noonan, James Gundry, Julie DeLoach and De borah DeDuck, Mary Conrad, Hervert Ackerman and Janice Ward. Marist Chooses Means For Student President rish, he added. Father Zimmers, who foun ded the institute six years ago, said the 'laymen trained at the institute are men who were successful in varied fields of work—especially those requir ing personal contact—and are contributing their “experience of the world” to the work of the Church. Since their work is largely intangible, their success can not be measured statistically, he said, but added that they have reversed the downward trend in conversions in their parishes. He said they average 30 converts a year per parish- up to 100 in some parishes— compared with a national ave rage of two per year per pa rish. Garcia, a former Procter Gamble executive, said the theologians do a lot of door- to-door contact and home vi sitation, and have had signi ficant success in validating marriages. Amid the chaos of wildly ill ustrated posters and shrill sounding whistles, the Student Council of Marist held its elec tion of new officers. Neither De mocratic or Republican "Na tional Conventions” could match the ardent campaigning of those nominated. Certain requirements were established by the school in or der to insure that well quali fied students would be elected. Any Freshman, Sophomore or Junior with an 80 or above over—all average for the 1965- 66 school year was allowed to compete providing he also pos sessed an acceptable conduct ' record. After the submitting of names, 15 students were nomi nated to run for the various of fices. From the very first day of campaigning, Maristwas trans formed into a bazaar of pos ters, stickers, and candy mer chants. Each candidate was al lowed to spend at the maximum fifteen dollars to further his election interest. However, do nations and student help were acceptable, and all nominees had an abundance of both these patronages. Speeches were giv en in all home room classes, while teachers gave up all hope of quieting the cheering sup porters. Throughout the . week this grand tour continued until the highlight on Friday afternoon, when each nominee addressed the entire Student body assem bled in the Kuhrt Gymnasium Individual platforms were ex- Honor Society Names Members Members of the National Ho nor Society of Drexel High School were inducted on April 29.
