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

Fr. Malioncy l Father Mahoney, since his arrival here last year, has tirmly established himselt deep in the attections ot his students. A pleasing personality, an excellent education in Spain, plus a deep love ot sports all tend to malce tall Father Mahoney one ot the most popular priests on the taculty. When Father Costigan became ill this spring, and was taken to the hospital, it was Father Mahoney who took up his duties as baseball coach: a job with which he has done very well. Father Mahoney's distinctive quality ot teaching serves to malce studies in his classes a pleasure, and many an erring young man has been helped, through some unpromptu tutoring by Father Mahoney, trom the depths ot tailure.

Fr. Staffs When Father Staffs tirst became interested in singing three years ago, he organized only a small Glee Club, but it met with such complete ap- praisal by everyone that he has organized it every year since then. And every Wednesday evening Father Staffs malces his way to St. Patriclcs l-lall, where he and his amateur Carusos meet to sing. During school, Father Starrs' classes are both interesting and pleasant, and his quiclc wit helps relax the tedium ot the involved subjects which he teaches. Despite his heavy schedule ot classes, and other post scholam activi- ties, Father can be seen almost any Saturday trudging across the verdant linlcs in search ot the elusive little white orb, or vigorously hacking his way out ot a sand trap. To the Seniors, Father Starrs will perhaps best be remembered tor his little tale ot a certain titteen-dollar suit lwith two pairs ot .,..,,.,., M Jr.-V f. .. , .1 -1. ., ,Vi . - M fig is ' r. pantsl, which he claims he's still wearing- 32 55 25 ' ..r after nine years. fi 1. ,smug-X r , f i ffi sf ls A 1 525 'miklfm F' Q. if ,M fi? 5433653 ,A , , X Y 'A to .lx Q.
