Page Cimmimzzm Fr. Fink, the present Rector of St. Rita, has held office for l3 years. During this colorful and Herculean span, Fr. Fink has sparked the expansion program of our school to include the Technical Course, the Mendel Technical Building, the Egan Hall Annex, the Stadium, the ultra-modernistic Monastery, and the largest Cath- olic secondary school in Chicago. Verily, it would appear that Fr. Fink is straining to emulate the l2 labors of Hercules. A signal honor accorded to Fr. Fink recently, was his appointment to the Reviewing Tribunal of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. l4 VERY REVEREND R. P. FINK, O.S.A. MS., D.Sc.

REVEREND JOSEPH A. COYNE, O.S.A. Diligent Dean of Technology Since Fr. Coyne came to St, Rita in l936, no assignment, whether minor or monumental, has miscarried. He was a competent Prefect of Discipline from l937 to l94O. He is a peerless teacher of Physics, His success as Moderator of the Alumni has been conspicuous. As Dean of the Technical Department of St. Rita since l94O, Fr. Coyne has been instrumental in our school's pre-eminent development. Diligence and devotion are Father's mottoes, earning for him the high office of Definitor. REVEREND JAMES J. SINNOTT, O.S.A. Dynamic Director of Studies Professor of Sociology, Moderator of Senior Class and Prom, and Bowling The correlation of scholastic curricula, athletic agenda, and extra-curricular activities comprehending 50 teachers and l5OO stu- dents, so that a reasonable degree of efficiency might be achieved, is an unenviable and stu- pendous task. To keep members of the faculty, parents, students, nondescripts, etc., happy as well as co-ordinated is a problem involving psychoanalytical phenomena. The Cascian is proud to declare that Er. Sinnott has done both these stints well in his execution of the Office of Director of Studies for the fourth consecu- tive year. FRANCIS LAWLOR OSA FR FRANCIS CRAWFORD, O.S.A. FR.
