REV. ALFRED J. JUNK PRINCIPAL After his ordination to the priesthood in 1933, Fr. Junk came to Noll as a member of the faculty. Besides fulfilling a normal teaching assignment, he also coached all athletics during his first two years. In 1939, after six years of teaching, he became Princi¬ pal and succeeded Fr. Conway in that capacity. When Fr. Junk first came to Noll, there was a student body of less than two hundred. His adminis¬ tration has seen the steady increase of students to the present enrollment of almost thirteen hundred. This increase has necessitated the construction of the new wing of eighteen classrooms and office accommoda¬ tions and even the conversion of gymnasium space to classrooms. Fr. Junk is President of the Board of Directors of St. Margaret ' s School of Nursing and a member of the faculty of the nursing school there. He is the mid¬ west delegate of the National Catholic Education Association. He is likewise a member of the Lake County Principals Association and of the National Association of Secondary School Principals and Superintendents.
