To say that the administrative branch is vitally necessary is no understatementg on the contrary, their individual duties comprise all that is es- sential to the smooth functioning of all the many activities and schedules at Campion. It is the coordination of their efforts that effects the schol- astic harmony to which we have so long been ac- customed. To Fr. R. A. Bernert, S.J., our principal, goes our deepest admiration for the efficient admini- stration of the scholastic phase of life at Campion. He, more than anyone, is responsible for the high standard of excellence that has been constantly maintained. Although the office of assistant principal is often very difficult and exacting in its require- ments, no other man than Fr. C. M. Reinert, S.J., could have done a better job at handling the countless problems that always arise in the course of the year. As in past years, the financial responsibilities U3 I o O C 2 UI F1 I f' O SU U 5 IU Fl 0 G -4 D P 1 O Z A 'Vp 6 fa if Y' .

Murphy, S.J., who deserves our vote of thanks for a trying job well done. In his capacity as student counsellor, Fr. E. Hipschen, has again rendered invaluable guidance, especially to us seniors in the selection of our college pursuits and ideas about future careers. Through the tireless efforts of Fr, P. Kramper. S.J., director of registrations, the enroll- ment of new students through personal contact has progressed almost to the point of completion. Indispensable to our material welfare is the constant work of Fr. E. W. Courtney, S.J., our superintendent, in supplying the countless items that life here at school demands. And last. but by no means least, are the duties of Bro. R. F. Daley. whose efficiency as registrar has earned the sincerest respect on the part of the students.
