McDermott that we of Saints owe a deep vote of thanks for his tireless effort in malcing St. Augustine a limelight in the Sports World. This year Father coached football for the fourth consecutive year, and also earned himself the job of coaching basketball. During his stay here, Father has literally talcen the teams, from rags to riches : developed the clubs into fighting outfits with plenty of spirit, and obtained bigger and better competition. ln furthering the activities of the students, he organized the Varsity A Club which has been effectively functioning ever since. The club spon- sored several dances, raffled cash prizes for the purpose of purchasing new basketball uniforms, and imposed a strict law governing the wearing of lettermen sweaters. While acting as the director of the Varsity Club, Fr. McDermott is also the moderator of the Associated Student Body Government. Due to his patience, counsel, and aid the student body activities were tremendous successes. Father's enthusiasm, willingness to help, gen- erosity, and stories of his life and experi- ences rnalce him one of the most popular -f members of the faculty. 'frsffl-is gt is wi

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.

Fr. Kicrnan During his two years here at Saint Augustine Father Kiernan has be- come very popular among the saintsmen through his activities in Religion and Civics classes. As director ot the patio players Father produced a smash hit called The Sunshine Twins which was so good that it was presented several additional times. Father Benny, as he is sometimes called, is the originator ot the St. Thomas More Club and the debating team. To acquaint the members ot the Senior Civics Class with the man- ner in which the Senate ot the U.S. conducts its business, he let the class torm ditterent parties and pertorm its parliamentary proceedings. The results were: acquiring southern accents, party teuds, and chaos and tur- moil in Washington over some ot the bills that were passed by the mem- bers. Being a tirm tollower ot the southern senators ot St. Augustine Congress, Father will not sleep in a room that doesn't have a southern exposure, nor will he associate with Q r Q, R VS. 05:32,-,i A H any ot the lett-overs ot the I-loover Ad- rw . zwff Q ministrationf' it ,s If ,ATM sm' if 5? ,ff X, W if ii , 96' if 4 - , ,. q .1.. , :MQW - 55,2-3 it 5: ' 'j K iii., f. ,sf A' -1.1 - IV' .
