MR. JOSEPH D. MUR- RAY—Well-known for his slave-driving tactics and esot- eric tests. Mr. Murray found out this year what it’s like to be on the other side of the desk. Working on his thesis for his Master’s degree, he frequently had to post- pone his famous quizzes un- til a later date. His World Culture and Problems of De- mocracy students didn’t mind too much, though, because Mr. Murray made learning world culture and the na- tion’s problems interesting through frequent group dis- cussions. SISTER ST. PAUL—Sister teaches English II this year, and insists that she was really a teacher before she became a music director. Although her ability as a teacher is not questioned. Sister is better known for her accom- plishments in the field of music. In fact Sister is so adept at conducting the orchestra and glee clubs that many feel she deserves the “Golden Finger” award. MR. EDWARD A. GIVNISH—His phys ed class works out in the gym for what seems to them to be eternities; his modern European history classes have found that other countries besides ours have an im- pressive past. Mr. Givnish is best known, hosvever. for his great success in coaching our varsity basketball team. Under his careful tutelage, the boys on the squad always go “all the way.” SISTER CATHARINE ANITA—Sister is the mainstay of our Commercial Depart- ment. Using the latest in office equipment. Sister instructs her typing and stenography classes in the values of speed and efficiency. Sister is also moderator of the business club.

SISTER MARIE DAVIDICA—Though it is often said that history repeats it- self. students of United States History and Problems of Democracy firmly believe that history-makers never do the same thing twice. They do believe that history is interesting, though, because Sister teaches through discussion and not just facts. MR. JOHN J. DABAGIAN—His playful jibes and sharp wit play an important part in his teaching methods, for he makes sure that learning is not all work, but some play. Teaching Spanish I. Latin II. and French III takes up most of his day. but Mr. Dabagian still finds time to coach the junior varsity basketball team and the base- ball team. He is also assistant disciplinarian. FATHER PASQUALE R. CATULLO—His freshman religion classes sit in awe as Father hypnotizes them with stories of saintly men and women. Father’s twinkling eyes attract students of all ages to the cluttered, minis- cule room which he calls the Athletic Office. Besides head- ing the Athletic Department. Father is also moderator of the exclusive photography club.

SISTER AGNES De SALES—Teaching mechanical drawing is but one of Sister's many jobs. Teaching World Culture and Russian history are two more. But still her work is never done. Sister is in charge of our school book store and is responsible for many more important articles which are being sold there this year. SISTER ALOYSIUS GONZAGA— Je m appelle . . . No need for introductions. Everyone knows Sis- ter’s name, for she is well known not only for her proficiency in speaking, but also for her intricacies of the French language. Sister is also moderator of the French club, the world affairs club, and the junior and senior debate clubs. SISTER RITA ALOYSIA—Sister is familiar to many stu dents as a “walking computer. and her Math III and IV pupils can attest to that fact. Axioms and laws are second nature to Sister. But there is another side to this efficient and mathematical nature. Sister is also head of the Studies Office, where anyone who is interested in fuithering his career either academically or commercially may apply for help.
