DOCTOR SHEEHA Introducing in our last year a new professor of religion created a tension of suspense among the Seniors. The two inevitable questions buzzed in our minds, XVho and what is he like? These persisted until late in October when Doctor Sheehan appeared on the campus ready to change his parish duties for those of professor angl chaplain. We found to our deep gratification that Doctor Sheehan was prepared to extend to us the ready hand of friend and guide. Although his classroom may have resounded with questions as to the etymology of words, this word, friend, needed no such research. Its source was instinctively felt one toward another. The past year has pictured Doctor Sheehan in many roles. His example has not failed to imprint in our hearts true reverence and appreciation for a solitary moment with the Blessed Sacrament. As professor, he has endeavored to teach us to coordinate our ideas on the present and to season our judgments with experiences of the past. Outside of academic duties, he has listened with a sympathetic understanding to our difficulties. His pleasant, jovial humor always dispersed our momentary quandaries, and left us soothed and comforted. In this favorite role we shall always visualize him. A year may be a short period upon which to base a life-long friendship. However, we feel it is a capable foundation since it is built on mutual interest of the future of O. I.. E. -Ili?
