ADMINISTRATION PERE MARQUETTE was explorer and teacher. For that reason, we place him rightly at the head of these pages filled with the accounts of faculty members of 1955 who join their endeavors with those of previous educa¬ tional explorers who have led the thousands of BNHS students through the labyrinths of religion, science, history, and language. Bands of Catholic students have emerged with Marquette leaders at their head to join the ranks of Christian citizens of the Calumet area. In the following pages are friends as well as educators. Here are the teachers whose example and friendship we shall cherish long after we have forgotten the algebraic formula they taught. Here are the heroes and the heroines whose lives of dedication we silently chartered as they led us through the wonderlands of lives of religious, civic, and cultural colossi. Yes, here on these pages are pictured those intrepid Christian explorers who helped us to discover US.

REV. ALFRED J. JUNK Principal Father Junk came to Bishop Noll High School after his ordination to the priesthood in 1933 and has spent his entire priesthood of twenty-two years in the service of the school. His first pos¬ ition on the faculty was that of teacher and athletic director. After serving as teacher for six years, he became principal in 1939 and is presently serving in that capacity. Father Junk has seen the school grow in many ways during his career at Noll High. The enrollment has grown from less than 200 when he first came to almost 1400 at the present time. Much needed classroom space has been added by the new two story addition, by the conversion of gymnasium space to classrooms, and finally by the opening of an extension at St. Joseph ' s Parish, Hammond. The curricular, extra-curricu¬ lar, and athletic programs also have been ex¬ tended and improved. In spite of his many varied duties as prin¬ cipal, Father Junk always manages to find time to visit with the students and help them in every possible way. His cooperation and concern for the students has helped in great measure to promote a wonderful spirit at Bishop Noll High School. 12
