of Japan. His personal interpreter
on his travels is John Akira Mat-
sui, Marianist graduate of Morning
Star school in Tokyo.
Two weeks ago the American
Catholic press carried an interview
with Matsui in which the latter
spoke encouragingly of the "fine
group of Catholic intellectuals in
Japan whose example and influ-
ence are bound to help in the ex-
pansion of the faith.”
And for the first time in his-
tory full diplomatic relations be-
tween Japan and the Holy See
were established when Minister
Takajiro, also Marianist alumnus
of Morning Star school, presented
his credentials to the Holy Father,
Pope Pius XII. Minister Inoue’s
wife is a convert to Catholicism
and their son attends Villa St. Jean,
Fribourg, Switzerland. (This Ma-
rianist school was the home for
several present members of the St.
Mary’s U. faculty while they pur-
sued higher studies in Europe.)
Five of the nine present Japanese
bishops are Marianist graduates as
are the present ambassadors of
Japan (all Catholics) to Paris,
Brussels, Berne and Madrid.
The Society of Mary has over
a hundred native Japanese priests
and Brothers. They are aided by
Marianist missionaries from other
countries, mainly American.
Sturchio and Son
See Promise in
In Music Dept
Mr. Frank Sturchio, leader of
the St. Mary’s RO1-C and Sym-
phonic bands, has been provided
with some very capable assistance
this year. His son, Al Sturchio,
a former St. Mary’s student, has
been added to the Music Depart-
ment staff.
Young Mr. Sturchio spent a lot
of time in the Korean war and
was sent back to the states last
spring because of injuries.
liven with his capable assistant,
"Fop” Sturchio has the task of re-
building the band a.most complete-
ly. Last year over thnty members
of the band graduated.
However, the prospects are still
pretty good as Mr. Sturchio Sr.
has about fifty students under his
guidance.
Aside from his other duties, Mr.
Sturchio Sr. is going to forward
the advance of the music depart-
ment by producing a dance band
as well as keeping up the other two
bands with which he worked last
year.
According to "Pop” and his son,
Al, the band should be as good or
even better than last year despite
the graduation handicap.
Bookings for all of the three
bands are being made.
