fm To Father Walz, our principal, We owe a debt of gratitude which mere words inadequately express. His leadership has meant rnuch to us in making our high school career a successful one both spiritually and intellectually. As principal, he displays gentle firmness. He helps us build into our characters the conviction that first things come first, and that the development of moral character is of primary importance. We appreciate his considerateness, his fairness, his treating each one of us as an individual-not just one of many teenaagers. We like the way he helps us face our problems. He seems to realize that only by helping us solve these seemingly trivial difficulties can he aid us in learning to make our own decisions in the many puzzling situations which will confront us in adult life. He makes himself all to all. He is one with us and enjoys our activities as much as we do. His sense of humor enlivens every class. He speaks our language and makes us feel that here is one to whom we can turn for guidance-truly our principal. The spirit of Father Walz permeates St. Wendelin High School. To us he is a true leader exemplifying, both as priest and educator, goodness, discipline, and learning. Page Thirteen ' al unc! iadelfeciazal guidance

Father Hoying has been with us at St. Wendelin for the past four years. During the war years his newsy letters were eagerly awaited and gladly received each month in camps and battle areas through- out the world. These letters Were a pro- ject of the Sodality of Which Father Hoying is moderator. Other projects which he directed in this capacity have been the highly successful parish get-togethers in the high school. In addition to teach- ing sophomore religion, he shows a sin- cere interest in all our school activities. Several times during the season, his grade school Middies made tough competition for our freshman basketeers. His cheer- fulness and friendly smile-as Well as his green Chevvy -are always a welcome sight. Our glee club this year was under the capable direction of Father Maurice Her- man. Father Herman traveled twice a week from Tiffin to conduct g1ee and made it one of the rnost enjoyable periods of the curriculum. Iust as the choristers were beginning to find The Lost Chord, the doctor recommended that Father Her- man ease his schedule a bit. This caused cancellation of a recital planned for St. Pat- rick's Day. In Father Herman's absence, Father Marlborough served as guest con- ductor.
