father donnul provides leadership Bishop Luers was an extremely busy place this year. So many things happened in the line of sports, academics, clubs, and organizations involving almost 800 people, and the man who co-ordinated all these activities was our principal Fr. Donnul Suttman, O.F.M. He was the leader of the community here at Luers, harmonizing the activities of students and teachers alike. Father Donnul has received his B.A. in philosophy at Duns Scotus. He also holds a M.Ed, in administra- tion and mathematics from Xavier University. Among his many varied responsibilities are hiring teachers and co-ordinating their subject schedules for the next year, meeting with the Bishop Luers ' Mothers and Fathers Clubs, and monthly attendance at the parents ' High School Lay Board of Education. Speaking about his job as principal. Father Donnul said, I have had the opportunity to help young people develop not only scholastically, but also develop concern for school and community by their in- volvement in numerous organizations and clubs at Bishop Luers. I really believe each person should develop interests and use their God-given talents to help others and improve the community in which they live, in this case, the school first, and community. All of these help develop a good Christian citizen for the future. 20

team work shown through office staff Five hard-working men and women comprised the office staff of Bishop Luers for the 1971-72 school year. Father Flavian was in charge of the treasury. This included tuition, bills, and the income. Brother Dave, who also taught typing, ordered the textbooks for all subjects and helped Father Flavian with the treasury work. Brother Louis worked in the supply store every morning and at lunch mods. He collected ab- sentee lists, delivered mail, and also helped Father Flavian. Mrs. Hankee worked on the permanent records of the students and the seniors ratings. Mrs. Powell worked on the absentee lists. Together they took the many calls Luers received, put grades on report cards, and made up the honor roll and the list of failures. Teamwork was the dominant spirit among the staff members. Each pitched in and helped one another when there was more work than time.
