in' Fr. Glynn Without Father Glynn St. Augustine l-ligh School would not be com- plete. l-lis jokes, witty remarks, Lawrencian accent. strict business manner of administering discipline make him one of the most popular members of the faculty. Father, better known as The Iron Jaw, has been faithfully performing the duties of Disciplinarian for four years now and many a boy with pencilstubs and aching wrists can give testimony to this fact. It is Father's theory that an extensive writing program improves penmanship. While keeping the Patio in order he has time to act as moderator of the senior class and '46 club. ln many a case, due to his assistance, the activity which seemed to be a failure was converted into a tremendous success. The senior class would like to take this occasion to thank Father Glynn for the invaluable guidance he has given us. A favorite stamping ground of our dead- eyed disciplinary is the basketball court, P- where he keeps regular hours l8 A.M. - 8:30 ..f r i iw .. . .if Cf .T .. :fied .... .5 'RB In-N A.M., 4 P.M. - 5 P.M.l and where accepting ,'.,,-.4 X challenges from anyone between the ages 'T ,fi 'i i of five and fifty, he offers to play his oppo- lk nents with one hand.

Fr. Ryan One ot the most energetic, most versatile, and most diligent members ot the faculty, Father Ryan is always happy to do anything which will in any way benefit the school. Father Ryan is perhaps best known for his keen interest in aviation, which he acquired during the summer. l-le has worked unceasingly for many months since then in obtaining a surplus warplane from the Navy, which served to make his aeronautics classes more interesting. lt is practically through his accomplishments alone, with the camera, that this annual and the books which preceded it were not mere type- written sheets. l-lis ingenuity in photography is something envied by pro- fessional experts. Besides these extra-curriculars and a heavy schedule ot classes. Father Ryan can be found almost any afternoon, either in the Physics Lab or in one ot the classrooms, aiding some miscalculating student with his studies. ' 4 I so
