Moderator of the RANGER, the college yearbook, the REV. RICHARD F. BOCKLAGE, S.J., is an instructor in lower division English at Regis. Having studied the works of the Catholic English poetess, essayist, and journalist, Alice Meynell, during graduate school, Fr. Bocklage holds an A.B. and a M.A. from Loyola Uni- versity in Chicago and is also a Bachelor of Sacred Theology from St. Louis University. Father taught at Creighton Prep, Omaha, before coming to Regis, and while at St. Mary ' s College, St. Mary ' s, Kansas, pub- lished several book reviews for the Catholic Review Service. One of the most outstanding examples of the dedica- tion of the Mathematics Department, providing the stu- dents with a firm foundation in the mathematical as- pects of their education, is the REV. THOMAS F. SINGLETON, SJ. As Assistant Professor of Mathe- matics, he is especially signalized by his quiet force- fulness and sparkling congeniality with the students. Apart from his teaching duties, Father Singleton is a member of the College Library Committee and numer- ous mathematical groups across the country. The REV. HARRY KLOCKER, S.J., has just been re- warded this past year with the title of Assistant Pro- fessor. As Head of the Department of Philosophy, he has given many popular lectures in his own unique style. These lectures and his thought provoking ideas given especially to sopho mores in the Philosophy of Being class present him as one of the outstanding in- tellectuals present on campus. Father Klocker has the rare ability of communicating the most difficult aspects of philosophy without compromising them. He is quite vigorous in his duties as Moderator for the Sodality and the Aquinas Academy. Both in the department of commerce and finance at Regis, MR. MILES J. DOLAN and MR. FRED L. WIESNER are Certified Public Accountants in the state of Colorado. Mr. Dolan is an instructor in ac- counting and received a Bachelor of Science degree in accounting from the University of Denver. Mr. Wiesner, also a C.P.A. in Kansas, holds a B.S. from Creighton University, is head of the accounting department and a professor of economics. A member of the student life committee, he received an award at Creighton when he graduated from the commerce school there with the highest average in his class.

REV. GEORGE M. TIPTON, S.J., Associate Professor of Chemistry, first appeared on the Regis faculty in 1939 when he taught at Regis High School. After receiving his Ph.D. in the field of chemistry from St. Louis Uni- versity, Fr. Tipton again returned to the Regis faculty where he has since served in the college chemistry de- partment. Fr. Tipton is well known to the freshman chemist for his seemingly insurmountable standards he demands and to the upper division chemists for the in- valuable foundation he has laid for their future. He also serves on the Commitee of Admission and Degrees. The words stimulating, dynamic, and perceptive characterize for many students, REV. ROBERT BOYLE, S.J., Asst. Professor of English and Head of the Regis English Department. He is one of Regis ' most vivid educational personalities whose familiarity with litera- ture of all ages has popularized his classes. Fr. Boyle ' s favorite subject is the work of Hopkins, about whom he produced an often-quoted thesis while attaining his Ph.D. in literature at Yale University. The guiding light of the championship Regis debate team, the REV. CHARLES F. KRUGER, S.J., is an assistant professor of speech and sociology and the chairman of the library committee. Fr. Kruger holds a Bachelor ' s degree in library science and a Master ' s degree. Father ' s extensive work in public addresses and radio broadcasts well qualifies him to coach the debate team. Also intensely interested in the stock market, Fa- ther is frequently sought for his advice on stocks and bonds. REV. WALTER HARRIS, S.J., Instructor of Theology, is one of the best-known personalities on the campus. As director of Spiritual Activities he is always available to any student whether he be seeking advice or just con- versation. Fr. Harris ' stimulating retreats have also been a source of his regional popularity. But his com- panionable attitude toward the students is perhaps the quality for which most alumni always remember Fr. Harris.

As Physics, long the field of the specialist, comes more and more into the domain of liberally educated men, REV. JOSEPH V. DOWNEY, S.J., Professor of Phys- ics, and REV. ANTHONY J. ROCHEL, S.J., Instructor in Physics, have expanded the department to meet the present-day demands. Fr. Downey, who has received nation-wide recognition for the countless hours of study and work he has spent with the Seismic Observatory at Regis, has received his M.S. in Physics from St. Louis University. Fr. Rochel is especially noted for his un- usual knowledge of electronics and his experiments in this field. He has also received his M.S. in Physics from St. Louis University. One of the never to be forgotten aspects of education at Regis is that added task she undertakes of inculcating into secular education Christian principles. The care of this facet of Catholic education has been entrusted to REV. EDWARD MAGINNIS, S.J., newly appointed head of the Theology Department. Father Maginnis came to Regis from the Institut Catholique of Paris, France, where he studied for three years. Under his guidance the theology program has assumed a new concentration. Formerly a teacher at Regis High School, the REV. JOHN F. LYONS, S.J., joined the staff of the college in 1955 in the English department, and in the fall of 1958 was promoted to associate professor of English literature. Father holds an A.R. from Regis and a M.A. in English from St. Louis University. His special interests are the drama and biographies, and his favorite periods of literature are the 18th and 19th centuries. Providing the classical foundation for a liberal educa- tion is the REV. MATTHEW R. LYNCH, S.J., In- structor in classical languages. He obtained his master ' s degree in classical languages from St. Louis University where he subsequently was engaged as a professor in the summer school. His teaching experience also in- cludes several years at both Marquette and St. Louis University High Schools. During this, his first year at Regis College, Father Lynch taught both Latin and Greek.
