'faithful do, it was reported by Archbish op Neophytos Edelby. Previously, like Christians in other areas of the Middle East, Egyptian Christians had been divided on the celebration of Easter. Catholics and Protestants here celebrated Easter according to the computation introduced in . 1583 by Pope Gregory XIII (Gregorian, calendar). Among theOrj;hodox, only the -Arll1E;nian Gregodan Orthqdox havecelebra'ted it at the same . time that the Catholics and~r'ot.:. estants did. All the other Ortho dox have celebrated it according . to the older computation by Em." peror Julius Caesar (Julian cal endar). In this country there are about 4 million Christians in a total population of 30 million. There are only about 170,000 Catholics of various rites and about 60,000 Protestants. Christians were often humili ated for their division on the celebration of ERster and were subjected to the sarcasm of their M""lem countrymen, who pointed o,ut that, some Christians. were celebrating 'the Resurrection of Chris't while others-sometimes Turn to Page Twelve

Parochial Responsibilities To Be Shared in Renewal WILMINGTON (NC)-Pal:i"h responsibility must ba shared by the pastors with the other priests, the laity and the Religious of the parish. This is the conclusion of the Wilmington Diocesan Clergy Committee on Renewal. Referring to pastors, the committee recommended that seniority alone not be the criterion for selecting pas tors but that ability and past performance also be weighed. , A pastor should serve a max imum of 10 years in each parish, the group advised, for this "would afford a new challenge to the priest and give the par ishes involved greater vitality as a result of new points of view and approaches to parish prob lems." Another recommendation was that a priest be permitted to 1'e tire at 65 from administrative responsibilities and be required to submit his resignation to the bishop at 70.

Creation of New Church Berated
FORT WAYNE (NC)-"It is not our task to create a new Church but to renew the old one," Bishop Leo A. Pursley of Fort Wayne-South Bend, Indi ana, advised in a special New Year's message. Observing that "we have much to learn from history," the bish op said: "Whatever progress we make in updating the Church will take its direction not only from our awareness of the pres ent needs but from our, under standing and evaluation of the past.~ , , Warning against "criticism which is negative in character, extreme in viewpoint, ill-tem pered in tone, contemptuous . alike of long-standing traditions, treasured devotion and even of authoritative teachings," the bishop declared th"t "some Rre now speak'ng almost as if they wmit a creedless, churchless, mancentered Christianity." Expressing gratitude that "we have begun to put into practice the principle of collegiality on all levels,'.' Bishop Pursley added that "there is imperative need of the utmost mutual understanding and good will." "Only thus," he said, "can we achieve the far-reaching bene fits destined to come from the united actron of the whol~ r.hurch."

The war of independence itself lasted 10 years, and it was .aJWther 10 years, 1830, before Vene However, he WCJS lucky be zuela as we know it today cause during rus ,administration became an independent, sepa oil was discovered in Venezuela rate country. Before that it and by about 1920 it became a was linked with Panama, Colom bia and Ecuador as Grand Colombia. Even then, when it
achieved
its distinct in dependent st<l
tus in 1830,
Spanish despo tism was simply replaced by domestic despo
tism. Year ..fter
year the Vene zuelan people , for the most Part saw little change. The do mestic despots were just as bad as the SPaniards, maybe WOI'Se. There were in all the history of Venezu<:l~ 26 different oon stitutions; the present constitu tion of 1961 represents the 26th. It has had i'cvolutions on an av 'erage of once every two years.
Until 1959, a mere six years ago, Venezuela never really knew or had a chance to appre ciate democracy as we know' it. ,During that time it had some of the worst dictatorshipB in the history of thc world. Gomcz, Notorious Dictator One in particular stands out because it helps to explain not only the present politic;)l picture in Venezuela but its economy as well. This man was Juan Vicente Gomez. Juan Vicente Gomez was vice president under another Vene zuelan tyrant dictator, President Cipriano Castro. President Cipri ano Castm developed bad health
and went to Europe for medical attention in 1908. He left his , trusted vicc-president Gomez behind .. No sooner had his shjp cleared the ha, hoI' and put out on the high seas than the trusted Go mez seir-eg power. And he sent a message to the former dictator and said, "For th~ permanent good of your health, I suggest you stay permanently in Eu rope." And Castro' followed that advice. Thus began a .27-year long ilic tatorship which r' .ks certainly among the worst in the world. It's comparable to that of Josef Stalin of the Soviet Union and that lasted 2!) ycars. They had much more in com mon than mere longevity. Dur ing thb time ,1 policc state of the worst kind was established in Venezucla. Oil and the Dictat.or When th~ students protested in Venezuela, as they did frequent ly during his administration, he had a very simple technique. He simply arrested them, threw them in jail, and then took every tenth student and strung him up in a public place with a meat hook through his neck. Even by the most tyrannical standards of the world Juan Vicente Gomez was one of the most crudely efficient dictators that the world has known.

all taxes. For everything else that. the Venezuelans suffered, at least it • was a paradiSe for the taxpayers. ' Also, he was able to take care of himself and' his friends and relatives out of tills oil. When be died he left .an estate of $200 million .. The important thing to re member about Gomez and his impact 'on today's economy and
political life is that the young
men of Gomez's day are the po litical leaders of today. They grew up under this dictatorship. They learned to hate. They .learned to fight. And with a dictatorship of
this kind it's no wonder that at
times they went to extremes in
their political activity. The pres
ent president of Venezuela,
Leoni, was a student under Gomez: He was' 60 years old in April of this year: He tells the story that when he first came to Caracas as a farm boy at the age of 15, he was impressed by his first carnival. He noticed, however, that this. carnival kept moving in procession around a single building. The people were singing and
dancing and having a gay time.
But· why, he inquired, did they keep going around this building? He found out; Gomez had politi cal prisoners in that building and he deliberately sent carni vals down there to entertain themselves with great happiness so the people inside oould' be fu rther tnrtu red. Distinguished Profession During this period when Leeni was a student in Caracas, his predecessor as ,president, Betan cou,:t, was likewise a student in the capital as w'ere other politi cal leaders. Gustavo Machado, the he'ld of the Communist party and· twice its candidat: for the presidency, was among them .. Ironically enough:"'-and this is something which to teachers should be a great lesson-all of these men. were under the guid ance of one distinguished prefes SOl', Romulo Gallegos. Romulo Gallegos, the gl'eatest, most distinguished .novelist in the history of Venezuela, was running a school called the Liceo Caracas. He taught all of these young men. He was basically an atheist but he was dedicated to freedom for his .Jeople and to the elimination of racial preju dice. Dona Barbara, his greatest novel, was translated into En glish 30 years ago. It· ran into 20 editions in Spanish and was one of the all-time best sellers of the Spanish literary world. In all of these books he dwelt on the social suffering of the people of Venezuela and did it bravely. Many of his white char acters married Negroes. He championed racial integratit.'''

Catholics Favor Closer Relations
MINEOLA (NC)-A Viet priest stationed here kt New York confirmed re ports that men are being ~mese
(Jecretly ordained priests in North Vietnam in order to con tinue the Church's mission in the eommunist-ruled portion of that )liar-tom country. Father Joseph Due- Minh, di llreCtor of the Secretariat for :Vietnam Missions and a native ~ North Vietnam, said he knew 0f several dioceses where sem llnarians - often Brothers and catechetists-were living in pas oors' homes and receiving basic education in Catholic theology. They are ordained when the pas ~rs feel they are adequately prepared to carry on the duties 0Jf the priesthood, he said. "I know of one diocese where Z@ priests were ordained last ;wear," Father Due Minh said. 'Bad Citizens' The priest, who comes ,from t!1l1e same North Vietnamese province as communist leader Ho Chi Minh, said the commu gists have been waging a war of aubversion against the Catholic Church since 1949. He estimates that approxi mately 600 priests have fled North Vietnam since that time, lleaving the Catholic population' (l)f about 700,000 in the ·hands of llOO priests, many of whom are dderly. "The communists have always ~ed to avoid any sign that they were persecuting people because of their religion," Father Duc Minh declared. "Priests anti prominent Catholics would be arrested as political reaction Ill'ies, pro-imperialist sympathiz (!'){'S, simply 'bad citizens,' " He noted that no official proc llamation was ever issued by the Hanoi government condemning ~e Catholic Church. The reason, lFather Due Minh said, is that the Catholics in North Vietnam are very strong and would rebel against such an act. Pressure Cllll .Schoolls "'But the communis'ts would &MIt pressure on the Catholic oohools by arresting principals lIIld, teachers as reactionaries," be said. "Eventually, they forced 1lbe Catholic schools to close be lDause no one wanted to risk tak Ang a job as a teacher or princi ~l in the schools." The same pressure was 1lM'ought to bear on the semina ries according to Father Duc Minh, The communists intimi dated those who supplied the fleminaries until no one was will ling to associate himself with the Iileminaries. The last seminary in North Vietnam closed last year Aft Father Duc Minh's' native ~rovince.
There are 10 diocesan bishops and two auxiliary bishops in North Vietnam, according to the mission director. Two other aux Diary bishops have been named but travel restrictions have pre: vented their being consecrated, Ille said. Father Duc Minh himself fled North Vietnam in 1954 after lifoing undercover from Minh to Manoi, and thence to Haiphong'.

Shared Time Classes Are Parental Right
School Head Tells Missouri Legislatolrs ST. LOUIS (NC) - Shared time classes in public schools for Catholic school pupils is a right of Catholic parents, says the su': perinlendent of sc:hools for the Archdiocese of St. Louis. Msgr. James J. Curtin told the Missouri Legislature's joint in terim committee on public and private education he favors a change in the state's mandatory education laws which make it necessar~' for a child to remain in one school continuously as long as it is. in session. The present law, Msgr. Curtin said, is archaic," 'Though in tended to prevent children from not completing the school day in order to work 011 farms in an earlier society, he said, it is now being used to prevent Catholic school children from attending some classes in public schools. A bill which would allow chil tirea to fulfill mandatory educa cati9n requirements while at tending sessions in different schools will be introduced in the eaming session of the state as sembly with the support of Gov. Warren E. Hearns. Taxpayer Benefits Supporting the shared time concept, Msgr. Curtin stressed the "child-orientation" of educa tion. "The whole problem," he as serted, "is child-centered, child oriented. We feel that if a par ent has the right to have his child in public school for the entire day, that parent also has the right to a half day."

To German S'ick
BERLIN (NC)-Catholic hos p,itals. doctors and nurses were decorated by officials of com munist-controlled East Germany on the occasion of Health Day. The work of Catholic nuns ministering to t.he ill in many East German towns was singled out for praise. There are 3,000 Sisters now working in East Germany. Most of these are associated with 31t Catholic hospitals, 118 homes for ehildren, 113 homes for the aged· and 310 clinics.
The issue, he noted, is not reli gion but that all educational pro grams· should be geared toward providing "the best possible edu cation for all the children of a community." Msgr. Curtin also pointed out that for a community to provide shared time classes for Catholic school children would not be as costly as fully educating all the children who might be forced to leave Catholic schools if increas ing operating expenses cannot be
met. Baptist Opposition He stressed, however, that the Archdiocese is not supporting laws making shared time pro grams manadatory. "There are some _ districts where it just will not work," he said. "We are only asking en abling legislation so that local districts can adopt it where feasible.'" Speaking before the legisla tive committee in. opposition to the shared time enabling legis-

lation were several Baptist lead ers who contended that such pro grams would violate the princi ple of separation of church and state. Rev. Homer DeLozier, execu tive secretat'y for Southern Bap tists in St. Louis, contended that shared time classes give "signifi cant financial aid to parochial schools without direct public in tervention," Different View He said that Baptists support schools without "asking for pub lic money to help us teach our religion" and that shared time programs would in effect aid Catholic schools. Speaking in support of the enabling legislation was the Rev. Gilbert Murphy, pastor of the South Webster Presbyterian Church and chairman of Chris-= tian Education <af the Metropoli tan Church Federation. He urged th-e committee not to interpFet Baptists as the only persons in Protestantism con cerned about education. "Many of us. feel the time has come," he said, "when there must be compromise between public and parochial education."

tant denominations and would not object to racial integration of their neighborhoods. Those are two major conclu sions revealed in a survey of Catholics in this 15-county Michigan diocese. The opinion survey was conducted in late October in connection with a diocesan religious census. Results of about 38,000 opinion questionnaires indicate that 83.3 per cent of Catholics favors closer relations with Protestants. The percentage was the highest and most decisive single response registered in the 38-question survey. In announcing the results of the survey, Bishop' Alexander Zaleski of Lansing said that in conclusive diversity of opinion was recorded for some questions but not not on the question. "Would you object <to living next door to a family of your own social and economic class of a different racial group?" An even 67 per cent answet'ed "no" to the question. Only adult Catholics were asked to participate in the opin ion survey. The survey and cen sus were the first conducted in the 30-year history of the diocese and one of only a handful in the United States since the close of the Second Vatican Council. Bishop Zaleski said results will be studied further and used as a guideline for future programs in the diocese of about 200,000 Catholics.

The man's work w~uld seem to J>e cut ou't for him. But the p,oint shoul4 also be made that th'is is a crucial matter in the dealings of man with man. A spokesman for the scientific commtmitysaid recently that the great problem in sCience is not getting scientists but in getting men who' will take 'what the scientists are doing and translate this--communicate it-to others. Unless and until this is done, there is a chasm between the scien tists and the community at large. Several years ago, when Khrushchev was saying unkind things about the United States, some wag came up with the horrifying idea that ·maybe Khrushchev really likes us but the interpreter hates
us.
It is a fact that where there is tension and hostility and bitterness in .families-between husband and wife, or between parents and children - there has first been a breakdown in communications. Each is talking but the· other is not listening or not understanding. Vatican Council II had as one of its purposes the up dating of language so that Catholics migpt better commu nicate with those not of -the Catholic Faith. It was found that often the same language was used to mean different things, or different language' w~s used meaning the same' thing. .

Charities Officia" Scores Cutbacks In Poverty War· '

CO'tUMBUS (NC) - The ehief spokesman for the nat ional Conference of Catholic Charities _. chief coordinat ing agency for more than 1,200 C8tho'Hc charitable institutionS, and agencies in the U. S.-has criticized' the administration·· of President· Lyndon B. Johnson for its cutbacks' and dwindling en thus'ililsm ·in the war against poverty. Addressing the annual meet.. lliig' of the Columbus' diocesan '·rourtcil of' the St. Vincent'· de Paul Society, Msgr. Lawrence· J.

''The trumpets which so loudly 'proclaimed the war on poverty two years ago, now slowly, sadly sound rell-eat," he said. Budget Reduced He pointed out that the Office of Economic Opportunity's re lIiuest for a $3.39 billion budget was reduced by the administra tion to $1.75 billion before the
White House forwarded the re quest to Congress and that Con gress in turn made a further re duction which brought the 1967 poverty war budget to $1.62 bil lion. "And now further cuts are an nounced. Obviously, the original enthusiasm for the battle has faded as the intensity of the
struggle against poverty in ereased," he said. Mgt... Corcoran insisted that the poverty war will fail if its ad ministration is decentralized. '''Some central agency such as (;)EO, must· be retained. Lacking. ,this, .the national effort will bea

MILWAUKEE (NC)~LetteTS will replace numerals in ·a new system of grading ,religion in,the Gatholic elementary. schools pi the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, the superintendenf of schools an nounced here. Msgr. Edmund J: Goebel saId that the change res\llted from t~e recommendation of a group of Catholic educators appointed by him last September to revise grading techniques ·and curricu lum in the schools. It will be come effective in the archdio cese's 235 grade sch.ools next Fall. . I In the new grading system, A represents outstanding,B is above average, C, average, and D is below average. There will, be special forms, complete with teachers' comments and evalua tions, for 1st to 3rd graders, 4th to 6th graders, and 7th and 8th graders. Details of these forms will be worked out later. No re port will be given for the firs~ quarter of the first grade.
The term "religion" on the re port cards will be replaced by "knowledge of Christine dcc trine." According to Msgr. G~ bel, the primary purpose of the changes is to encourage tile youngsters to approach their work more from a sense of per sonal responsibility than from a feeling of outside pressure.
The use of the new system will be coordinated with the planned archdiocesan educa tional television network, Msgr. Goebel said..The network will be operative in Milwaukee schools in the Fall of 1967, and in other 'schools of the archdiocese soon after..

We light up for the last .time the outdoor Christmas tree, no ticing it looks like a molting bird, half the lights burned out, but why revivify at this state?

Father McBrien Examines
Bishop Robinson's Works
God Love You By Most Rev. Fulton J. Sheen, D.D. W. Gascoyne CeCil once told a story about the three Wise Meill who came to the Crib. They went in one at a time. One was old. one was middle-aged and one was young. When the Did maa. went in instead of finding the new-born babe he had expected. he found an old man who talked with him. When the middle aged man went in, he was met ~y a teacher of his own yeaN.. When the young man entered, he in tum found a young prophet. The three met together outside the stable and wondered 'wh,. they had not found a Child but three men of different ages. SG they went in together and were amazed to ~nd what they bad come expecting to see, a Baby Who was only 12 days old.

Our age is one in which Christ again is carried into other lands. As. the Wise Men traveled from the East seeking Him, today we must look for Him hidden in the poor, the refugees, the sick, the dis inherited of this world. As they sacrificed the comforts of thei~ homes to find ,Him, so· we cannot really see Him in the poor and suffering without sacrificing of our abundance. When you enter the stable this Christmas, may you see the Christ of your age . but remember that as the Wise' Men saw Him He is POOR at any age. God Love You!

Teachers, indicated .that the vote w~s ..taken in the i19pe that it might get officials of'the archdi- ' ocese of Philadelphia to accede to a request for salary increases• Teachers are asking. a first year minimum PllY of $5,000. Since September it has been $4500 for men and $4300 for women. Msgr. Edward T. Hughes, .superintendent of the parochial school system, has maintained that there is no money available for an additional wage hike be fore 1968 at the earliest. 'Since the association repre sents some 400 of the area's ap proximately 600 Catholic lay teachers, the vote could have a serious effect on the parochial schools.· It means that the classes of absent teachers will go untaught -or that the archdiocese will have to hire temporary person nel. The current practice is to have teachers use their free periods to take over duties of absent colleagues. This applies not only to those missing' because of illness, but also to teachers called to conferences or other meetings.

Government A!)ks DAYTON (NC)-Ttie federal government has filed a motion to dismiss a suit aimed at pre venting parochial school pupils from using books and library materials authorized under a sec tion of the Elementary and Sec- , ondary Education Act of 1965. The motion, filed by Assistant U. S. Attorne~' Hoger J. Makley in U. S. District Court here, asked dismiss..l on the' grounds that the plaintiffs "lack standing to maintain this action" and that the "United States cannot be sued unless rt has expressly consented to such a suit." The original suit was filed last June by Protestants .and Other Americans United fer Separation of Church and state (POAU). The complaint was amended in August. POAU held that Title II of the 1965 act is unconstitutional and sought an injunction against further disbursement of funds. The suit also asked for $5 million in damages and recovery of $14,606 distributed in Dayton for books and materials for paro chial schools. The government's request to dismiss the suit was accompanied by a 14-page memorandum in support of the motion. Subject to Approval Title II of the 1965 act author izes the government to make grants to states for purchase of school library resources, text books, and other printed and published instructional materi als for use by children and teachers in private as well as public schools. The memorandum emphasized a section of the act which states that title to the books and ma terials used in non public schools is vested in a public agency. It

CHICAGO (NC) - The presi dent of the Catholic Interracial! Council here has asked stattl Democratic and Republican leacltoo ers to join in a bi-partisan effort to pass an "effective state hoW:lo> jog law" in 1967. In telegrams to Governor Ot.. Kerner and State Senator Wo Russell Arrington, CIC President Richard J. Walsh said that sucii state legislation is necessary ff1t both moral and economic rea. sons. Pointing to the decision of th@ Atomic Energy Commission ~ locate its new atomic facility ancll laboratory in Weston, Illinois. Walsh said that "this good news has been marred by the nagging question of whether or not Negr~ scientists, technicians and othel? personnel who will come t@ Illinois to work in the WestoJtil facility, will indeed be welcoffi€l here." The CIC leader said that JJJjc,
nois has been "behind in facin{l
up to" the issue of fair housing
and that it "would be a tragedy.
jf this racial backwardness un
dermines or delays the commi~
ment of the AEC to Illinois." "Together," he told the state leaders, "you can put this moral issue above partisan polities., protect the Weston project anell earn the gratitude of Illinois."

lines of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare and decreed that virtually all school segl'egation in the South must end by the start of the 1967 Fall term. The court ordered seven Lou isiana and Alabama school sys tems to desegregate classrooms, facilities, faculties and staffs by the ,1967-68 school year. The three-judge panel, in a 57 page opinion written by Judge Minor Wisdom of New Orleans, directed school officials to move immediately to raise the level of formerly all-Negl'O schools to the level of formerly all-white schools. One time all-Negro schools which cannot be sufficiently up graded must be closed, and the sites of new school buildings must be selected without regard to desegregation: , "The clock has ticked to the last 'tick' for tokenism and delay in the name of deliberate speed," the court said. National Folicy The fact that a school has re fused or been denied aid does not mean it can remain segregated, the court noted. "The national policy is plain: formerly de jure segregated pub lic school systems based on dual attendance zones must shift to unitary, nonracial systems; with or without Federal aid," the court said. The court said that all classes, including kindergarten, must be opened to all races by next fall. "All students, both white and Negl'O, shall be required to exer cise a free choice of schools annually," the court said. The decree designatcd March as the time for the choice.

.Junior Is Stonehill Center
BY PETER BARTEK Norton 'High Coach Competition is always keen among Cape scholastit. basketball aggregations, but, for some the honor of becom ing league champions has never existed. The Capeway Conference remedied the situation for the larger schools last F'all, but, the smaller inI stitutions were left with the both clubs are small and inex same problem. perienced but the league teams The new year brings with ;ue so well matched! that an it an opportunity for most Cape combines the fortune of becoming the first circuit titlists. Six clubs begin the chase for the coveted championship of the newly formed Cape and Vineyard Basketball League on Jan.
'1. Activity prevails in all other lJrcas of the diocese tomorrow night as the Bristol County, Narry and Capeway loops wind up their first week of competition. Illarwlch Starts Fast The new league's inaugural will pit host Martha's Vineyard against Harwich. Coach Charlie Dumbar's Harwich club, which has compiled a 6-0 record to date, must be considered the favorite to' win the crown. The Rough Riders, led by 6-4 Bill Higgens, however, will have to be at their best An this initial contest. Martha's Vineyard has plenty of height to use against the Harwich 'sharpshooter in Manny Estrella 6-3, Rick Harrington G-l and Larry Silvia 6-1. Leo Duart, who finiflhed second in the state cross c&untry meet, a 10 n g wit h Charlie Leighton round out t 11 e Islanders' starting u nit. Coach Francis Pacheco's c 1 u b presently has a 3-1 record. The ;four 'remaining Jim Cassidy Cape and' Vineyard' aggregations do not begin: competition until ::Jan. HI when'Sandwich plays at tiarwich,Provincetown travels to Chatham and Nauset visits the Vineyard. P-town Aims High Provincetown looks to Gary Motto, a fine backcourt man, to provide the spark in its quest for the league crown. Coach Dave Murphy again has a well balanced club which will cause many defensive problems for rival clubs. P-iown, a frequent visitor to post-season tQurna ments under Murphy, .appears to be headed for another tourna ment berth, and, very well could win the league crown in the process. Chatham and Sandwich are both playing the role of dark horse in the new circuit. Overall,

competitors must be given flag consideration. Coach Leo Miller's Nauset quintet has combined good de fense and a solid offense into a 5-1 record in non-league play and, like Harwich, has to be con sidered as one of the favorites to capture league laurels. The hard working Warriors, who have come up with victories over larger Cape schools in the past, may very well go all the way now that they ar.e opposing clubs of comparable size. Excitement reigns in the Cape and Vineyard league as all par ticipants are out to prove their superiority in the circuit which is being conducted on a tempo rary basis this Season if prognos tications prove correct, the league will be successful and it will become permanent. Fast Feehan Start At the northern end of the dio cese, Bishop Feehan High of At Ueboro has experienced nothing but success, against non-league opponents. The Shamrock's bat tle with cross-town rival Attleboro High tomorrow night may provide the tip-off as to their potentiality since the Cassidy men are always among Bristol County's best ranking combines. Durfee High of Fall River runners-up to New Bedford i~ the Rogers invitational Christ mas tournament in Newport, hosts New Bedford Vocational in its second league contest tomorrow night. . Two remaining games on the d~ket tomorrow pit Msgr. Coyle High of Taunton against Taunton High in the first of three contests for the ,city championship and Bishop Stang High of North Dartmouth hosts North Attle ,boro.

A 6-5 junior, Richard led Stonehill College in scoring and rebounding as a sophomore center during the 1965-66 sea son and is picking up where he left off, this season. French Major A C-plus student, Ron is majoring in French with an edu cation minor and hopes to be a teacher following his graduation in 1968. The youngest child, of Mr.' and Mrs. Edmund Richard of 9 Gen eral Sherman Street in Taunton, Ron is a member of St. Jacque's Parish. Richard was graduated from Msgr. Coyle High School before entering Stonehill. He has an older brother, Edward, who at tended Taunton High School, and an older sister Jean, a graduate of St. Mary's in Taunton. lHligh Scorer Richard's name ,became a Coyle High basketball trademark from 1002 through 1964 and he led the Warriors to a share of the Bristol County League cham pionship with Attleboro as a senior with his brilliant perfor mances. The 20-year old Chieftain would like to coach basketball upon his graduation and' is hop ing the opportunity will arrive where he can become a teacher coach. A soft spoken, mild manner giant, Richard averaied points per game last season be fore an ankle injury sidelined him for the final 10 games of the campaign. Ron amassed such a tremen dous point total in the first part of the season that he stiil fin ished as Stonehill's top point maker and rebounder, despite his injury. ' Coach Fran O'Brien,' who is spending his last season at Stonehill's helm, noted, that Richard is a key.,performe,r in the Chieftains victory hopes. "He has been pav.ing. a -little trouble regain~ng his, scoring touch, this season," O'Brien said quickly adding th~t he, wal? ham~ pered by a heel injury wbich sidelined him for the final two weeks of pre-season practice. A 200-plus pounder, opponents have learned to respect Richard's quick and deceptive movements underneath and do not underes timate his scoring prowess fro~ anywhere on the hardwood. Athlete of Year As a Stonehill frespman:. Ron led his mates to a successful 15-4 record, although at the time many observers thought that the Chieftain yearlings were playing out of their class because of the large colleges booked as oppo nents. During his first varsity college campaign as a sophomore, Rich ard \So impressed Stonehill fol lowers and officials that he was chosen as the Athlete of the Year on the North Easton campus.
