Jer Cleve Ron Gre oire Barry Bea les W S S The 1977-78 school year was to prove a very difficult one for the faculty of Griffin High School. New members of the faculty in- cluded Mr. Jerry Cleve, Ron Gre- goire, Hudson Venerable, Barry Beagles, Erskine Route and Joe McFarland who is now head of the counseling department at Griffin. The financial pressures that had been building for many years took their toll on the principal, Father Dupuis, soon after the new school year got underway. His health broke under the strain and Brother Mike Rice who had served as Dean of Studies and Assistant principal and Father Charles Bolser, the Financial Showboat players packed em in. 'V' Hudson Venerable Erskine Route joe McFarland Administrator and Assistant Principal handled the administra- tion of the school through most of the year. Of great help was Mr. Jim Belz, the Dean of Discipline. The worsening financial picture prompted the Viatorian commu- nity and the Diocese to take steps to correct the financial crises and before the year ended fears that the school might have to close were laid to rest. The big musicals reappeared on the scene with Showboat,' play- ing to capacity audiences in the Academy's theatre. U A talented and dedicated Sister Therese Martin, 0. P., directed most ofthe SHA! GHS musical dramas.

Mr. james Belz As a young man, Mr. Belz lookedforward to a promising career in baseball with the St. Louis Cardinals. The Korean con- flict and a knee injury ended that dream though to this day Mr. Belz works as a scoutfor the St. Louis team. He came to Cathedral in l956 to help solve the problem of the basketball program which hadgfallen on hard times with a nearly winless sea- son. He accomplished this pur- pose with a vengence leading his teams to many City and Capitol Conference titles. He taught so- cial studies and helped coach other sports includingfootball and baseball. For many years he served very effectively as Athletic Directorfor the two schools and for many years also as Dean of Discipline. After more than 30 years at Cathedral and Grifhn one can say that his name is synonymous with that of Griffin. eye 00407 425 HEAD coAcH .f,9oi2QzV7'vqf0vi18j9'v 890,50 Qfpeeooi 53' ,331 T 1 ASSISTANT coAcHEs wg'-bx'vyvq'QoO40v.f:1',3,voQvbQ'0085QQSQOQOOQ O90 459600 goo 55133 L Jim Belz George Fleischli 0 Larry Selinger T v Bill Nonneman T Bill Fleischli T T T Rich Murawski ' Q Bill Lechner ' T 1975-75 Annex Barraza ' Bob Martin T Joe Galassi f ' Dean VanDiver T ' Ron Brian T T ' Simon Cory T Bro.
