Our Lady of the Angels Chapel Marquette Hall A NOBLE CAMPUS Kostka Hall Cranes, trucks, men at work—these are all signs of an ever growing campus. Since 1955, Gothic Lawler Hall, modern Lucey Hall, and Hoffman Hall, the natatorium-gymnasium, have been added to Campion’s attractive campus. Now under construction on the site of the old Lawler Hall is a senior dormitory, complete with a rifle range and meeting rooms, which will be open for residence in the fall of 1965. Lucey Hall

Dedication: Fr. James V. O’Connor S.J. “Men of genius do not excel in any profession because they labor in it ; but they labor in it because they excel.” William Hazlitt “Characteristics” Whether in his official capacity as Dean of Lucey Hall, or in his unofficial capacities as counselor, teacher, adviser, and friend, Fr. James V. O’Connor serves Christ with the same unceasing energy. Father O’Connor entered the Jesuits from the Army in 1946. He re- tained many of the qualities of the old Army life in his new spiritual one—a keen wit, a sense of discipline, a friendliness toward others, and a willingness to work. Since he came to Campion in 1957, Fr. O'Connor has excelled in serv- ing the students in the capacities of Assistant Principal, teacher, and Dean of Lucey Hall. He plays a great part in the character development of Campion men during their stay at Campion. His success can be attributed to his selfless love for God, Jesuits, and his students. Fr. O’Connor gives himself to Campion and sees a little of himself leave each year. In appreciation for this determined selflessness and love, it is with great pride that we, the senior class, dedicate the 1965 Knight to Fr. James V. O’Connor, hoping that it will serve as a humble tribute to a fine teacher, adviser, and friend. 3
