Very Rev. Monsignor J. William Lester, diocesan super- intendent of schools, and Rev. Edward J. Krason, principal of Bishop Dwenger high school, in early August of 1963 studied the blueprints of the school to f locate the various departments. Through his far- :ii sighted planning and his meticulous care of each small detail in the construction and the furnishing of Bishop Dwenger High, Monsignor Lester has produced a school of which the Fort Waynee-South Bend diocese is justly proud. Since being named principal, Father Krason has given himself unstintingly to Bishop Dwenger High. Father is intensely interested in developing to the fullest the spiritual and intellectual potentialities of each student. To Father Krason, primarily, belongs the credit for that special esprit de corps so marked among Dwenger faculty and students. In this first ye of the school s opera- tion, Father, be ides his administrative re- sponsibilities, has taken on additional 1, du i s in gu ance and in the teaching of i re 1 Sl1 , IJ 1 ivy ,. , , r ' ' , f 'U L AI Y 1 .
