Assistant Headmasters Unite Losing Fr. Engel at the start of the year created turmoil for the Administration. However, by the second month the Assis- tant Headmasters were ready to attack their duties head on once again. As a graduate of Marquette University, Fr. Biebel knows the importance of a good college education. He carefully wrote all recommendations needed for a Senior to apply to college. As Academic Director he maintained good communica- tions between Cathedral Prep and Gan- non University to encourage participation in the Advanced Standing Program. Fr. Biebel involved himself in student life by moderating the National Honor Society and Student Government. He lent his tal- ents as an organist to the students by leading them in song at mass. As Director of Discipline Fr. Hahn re- ceived most of the grief and responsibility of being the bad guy. His reputation as an excellent teacher though, bridged any gaps that existed between him and the student body. His education at St. Mary's Seminary had instilled in him a dedication to to academics. This is proven by the quality of the History Department of which he is chairman. His wide range of activi- ties included moderating the cheer- leaders and the High-O team. Because the Bishops reassigned Fr. Engel, Fr. Dollinger appointed Fr. Nowak on very short notice to the position of As- sistant Headmaster in charge of guid- ance. Fr. Nowak's participation with stu- dents outside of the classroom helped him tremendously with his new position. As Director of Guidance Fr. Nowak led the Seniors along the tedious path of ap- plying to college. Even with his new ap- pointment, he continued to direct extra- curricular activities. His literary ventures and photography hobby offered students a chance to help produce the school yearbook. He was also the Theology De- partment chairman. He moderated Foren- sics, High-Q, and the Ski Club. Rev. William E. Biebel M.A. Assistant Headmaster f l- 14 Above: Teamwork is essential in accomplishing the many problems that arise every morning in the atten- dance oftice. The Assistant Headmasters work to- gether well and keep the students moving at a quick pace. Rev. Raymond W. Hahn M. Div. Assistant Headmaster Rev. Mark A. Nowak S.T.M. Assistant Headmaster

The English Teachers stressed improv- ing the students' communication skills this year. Under the direction of Mr. Fla- herty the English Department empha- sized continual reading aloud. Reciting of oral reports expanded the students po- tential to succeed in life. Cathedral Prep students used their communication skills to aid their school. Mr. Flaherty, appointed Director of Public Relations this year, incorporated stu- dents into his eighth grade recruiting pro- gram. Traveling with Mr. Flaherty to grade Right: Mike Fatica answers a students question dur- ing a recruiting session at Our Lady's Christian. Far Right: Mr. Flaherty makes taking a test more bear- able by telling a few jokes to his class. Prepsters Aid In Quest schools, students gave speeches on the advantages of coming to Prep and an- swered candidly any questions the eighth graders had. Both the elementary teach- ers and students commented on the as- surance and good oral expression a stu- dent of Prep had. One hundred Prepsters helped give tours during the December open house. Tour guides brought parents of prospective Prep students to various parts of the building where different clubs and academic classes showed prepared displays. These students used their prac- tical verbal skills to help recruit members of the class of 1985. Mr. Flaherty's organization and practi- cal application of English helped to com- municate well with the outside world. In- side and outside of the classroom Mr. Flaherty taught men of Prep a valuable asset which they will use their whole life- time. His unique approach tothe subject gave success to the English Program at Cathedral Prep. Mr. William J. Flaherty, B.S. Gannon University Economics, English IV, Varsity Bas- ketball.
