In memory of Father Sokulski,CR-Dedication Fr. Gracz poses with Fr. Sokulski during a Mothers Club celebration honoring his 25th anniversary of ordination. When a person dies, he leaves memories behind that affect people differently - according to how they knew him. The death of Father Sokulski, brought sadness to the students of Gordon for what they lost can never be replaced. This sadness is not for Father Sokulski's life, but rather for the ideals which his presence vividely portrayed. The attitudes and strength of mind of this great priest are best exemplified by his own words, all or nothing. He re- garded the idea expressed by some that nobody's perfect as being pessimistic. Not one of his students even for a mo- ment though Father Stan expected less than 1001, from each and every one of them. He did. He approached perfection as something attainable. As he passed through the halls, seemingly ignoring the salutations of boisterous students, he was still maintaining his image, and his image was genuine. Every thing he did had purpose and meaning exuding from it. His association with his students was always on a level that placed him above them. Father Sokulski represented perfection for the students of Gordon. They may never attain it, but they'll never stop trying. Thanks for everything, Father! Fr. Sokulski's method of teaching is indelible in the minds of his students. Fr. Sokulski assists at the 1960 graduation ceremonies. E I 1

The various departments work together to make a finished product--the Gordonite Every business has an administration, an executive depart- ment, The business of education is no exception. The head of the firm, the principal, is Fr. Louis Cracz. He is in control of all the activity that takes place in the school. He must see that the objectives of educating and- train- ing the student are achieved. To do this he must establish the spectrum of courses offered, choose the faculty, attend to the correspondence of the school, and supervise the main- tenance ofthe school. One man alone cannot succeed in such a task, so just as any large firm has vice-presidents, the school has assistant principals. At Cordon they are Fr. Humphrey Ruszel, CR, Fr. Walter Wilczek, CR, and Fr. Joseph Wise, CR. Their job is to aid the principal with his duties. The efficiency of a school's operation is an indication of the executive's competence as a businessman. Gordon is a well- run school. It is clean, the grounds are well kept, a11d al' though this new school does not have all that it eventually will, constant improvement does take place-such as the recent installation ofthe closed-circuit television system and the addition of a television studio.
