PRIEST AIDED GIRL
IN CHURCH PROTEST
Prompted Strike Against Grad
uating Exercises in Amity-
vile Methodist EdifiCe.

T. was the Rev. Joseph F. Conway
and not her father who had advised
Rose Shea. member of the graduating
c'1ss Of the Amityvillc. Long Island,
High School, to protest against the
holding of the exercises in a Protestant
church. Father Conway, who is the
rector of ST. Martins Roman Catholic
Church. Of AmityvIlle, made this an
uounccment yesterday.
When Rose went out on strike
against having the exercises in the
South Methodist Church il was sup
posed that her father had prompted
her action. Eight other members OF
hey class Joined her. and declared they
would not be graduated in a church.
The Board of Education decided that
II had the sole right 10 say where the
exercises should be held, and the grad
ua'os consented grudgingly 70 its ar
rarEcments.
Father Conway said yesterday that
the choice Of a Protestant church for
the exercises was wrong TO the one
Catholic in the class
"imityvile still lacks parochial
school," he continued. "and therefore
the Catholic boys and girls have no
alternative but to attend the public
school. The Catholics may be in the
minority, but they are American citi-
zens and taxpayers. A public school
is supported by Protestants and Catho-
lies. and its commencement exercises
should be held not In a church but
In a place where all taxpayers may go
