Diversified Teachers Bring A New The polices of the Diocese indirectly forced Prep to hire its first lay teacher in its Theology Department. Expansion of missionary programs by the Diocese cre- ated a great need for more priests. With the concentration of the priests Prep has, it was the logical place to draw the need- ed priests from. The various out of school activities which the priests at Prep participate in, completely fill their schedules. Sitting as a judge on the Marriage Tribunal and working at Gannondale, keeps Rev. Stas- zewski busy. His experience of working with married couples and his continual contact with students enables him to bridge the gap between adult life and adolescence. Rev. Beal works in the Chancery when not teaching at Prep. His world wide travel has made him an asset to Prep's flourishing Theology pro- gram. All priests who instruct Theology at Prep are also involved in other activities. The obvious lack of time availabe for priests to teach additional theology classes lead to the hiring of Mr. Germino. Mr. Germino feels priviledged for being appointed to Prep's faculty and hopes that his success as a Theology teacher will lead to future admission of lay teach- ers to the Theology Department. The em- ployment of Mr. Germino spells the turn- ing point of a new policy for the Adminis- tration. Rev. Michael J. Amy, B.S. Rev. Michael G.

An Artist's Touch Fine lines flowing design, and precision planning characterize the art work of Mr. Sabol. His expertice in jewelry and sculp- ture along with his talents in sketching and mechanical drawing lend to the stu- dents of Prep a resevoir of knowledge which will help them to create a solid ba- sis forthe appreciation and professional technique of art. Mr. Sabol's reputation as a good artist has spread from Denver to Virginia but more importantly, to Prep, he is a respected artist locally. Working at Breakiron Jeweler's, exhibiting his sketches at the U-Frame It Shops of Erie, showing his sculpture at I. Michael Brown all expose Mr. Sabol to the parent's of the Prep students. Over the years, he has done pieces of jewelry for parents of Ca- thedral Prep students. His excellent qual- ity of craftsmanship gives a pleasing reputation to the art program at Prep. Ev- ery Prep parent, who has seen his work, delights when he finds out that Mr. Sabol instructs classes at their son's school. Mr. Sabol directs his experiences from his work outside of the classroom to bet- ter a student's knowledge of art. Bringing work in to show the class and actually constructing a piece of artwork in the classroom while students are there, gives each individual student the observation of professional techniques and the con- structive ideas to create an original work of art. Small classes provide a personal atmosphere and a completely individual- Mrs. Frances Doyle, B.S. Mrs. Dorothy L.

Stu- dent participation in the classroom fea- tures Mr. Sabol's insistance on the indi- vidual's growth as an artist. ff ..Q- Edinboro State College Mrs. Aimee E. Rodak, M.Ed. Below: Mr. Sabol begins teaching art to Freshman and continues through Senior year. Over these years, a definite improvement is noticed in the stu- dent's art. Mr. Sabol believes teaching the basics in many areas is the key to the students success. Mr. Sabol takes a special interest in each student con- structively criticizing their work. Mr. James E.
