The Principal for the 1982-1983 year was Br. Heustis. Although this was his first year, his personality and style soon earned him the respect and admiration of both the students and faculty of St. Laurence. Br. Heustis was assisted in his administrative work by Vice- Principal Mr. .lack Mahoney, who is the man behind the familiar voice which is heard every morning during the homeroom period. The school Treasurer was Br. McNamara, whose hectic job was facilitated with the aid of School Ac- countant, Mrs. McCarthy, and Finan- cial Secretary, Mrs. Eggert. Mrs. Dryer had the vital job of Ad- ministrative Secretary, which involved clearing the red tape included when running a school like St. Laurence effi- ciently. Another important role in the Front Office was that of the School Secretary, Mrs. Kelly, whose work rare- ly left her unoccupied. As Assistant Librarian, Mrs. Glavis helped Br. Messick run the school library, making it the center of educa- tion that it was. Mrs. Kendall played an important part in our school as the Secretary of the Computer Science Department. Mrs. Statkus directed the invaluable Audio-Visual Center and was assisted by the A.V. Secretary, Mrs. Nowicki. Also, assisting the school in many ways were the Janitorial and Cafeteria Staffs, whose dedication and perseverance helped make St. Laurence the place it is. 130 f Administration WON fi 4 l 5 'x.QN l H..
