REVEREND M. B. MARTIN, S.J. Principal Father Martin has for the past four years skillfully guided the scholastic aspirations of Campion Nothing that touches the intel- lectual life of the school is too in- significant for his attention. No method by which it might be im- proved is overlooked. To cope so successfully with the many prob- lems confronting a principal, prob- lems which touch the scholastic rating of the school, is a tribute to Father Martin ' s tireless efforts. His emphasis on studies has con- tributed in no small way to Cam- pion ' s enviable reputation. Paul E. Bohonek ' 40: over Austria: 11-7-44

Administration During the four years in which Father Stemper has been President of Campion, the student body has come to a fuller appreciation of his deep interest, and of his untiring efforts on their behalf. Directing the welfare of four hun- dred boys is not an easy task. To pro- vide for their spiritual needs as well as to steer a course in accord with the best traditions of Jesuit education has been the burden of his office. We believe he has succeeded in admirable fashion in the execution of these details of the office. Nor does his interest in the student cease with graduation. The eager atten- tion which he gives to the alumni clubs attests that. REV. THOMAS J. STEMPER. S.J. President of Campion S 1 c Clement A. Berghoff, Jr. ' 44: surgery, San Diego: 10-3-44

Assistant Principal Superintendent REVEREND B. A. BERNERT, S.J. REVEREND W. S. HOUSER, S.J. In his position as assistant principal, Father Bernert looks after the external conduct of the student body. The multifarious duties which this position entails demand his con- stant attention. Not only does he maintain the discipline of the school, but keeps an accurate record on the whereabouts of each student each hour of the day. Disciplinary action is at times necessary as all admit. Father Ber- nert has done this kindly and efficiently. Upon F ather Houser, as superintendent, falls the responsibility for the material up- keep of the school. He has held this post at Campion for the past nineteen years. All pur- chases of food supplies, materials for ' building and repair go through his office, as well as of the equipment necessary in the maintaining of the grounds. His task was made even more difficult during the war because of shortages. Pvt. Arthur J. Bonness ' 43: maneuvers, Montana: 7-17-44
