In addition to swimming, Father enjoys playing the piano, and on occasion he can be persuaded to sing some of the old favorites. Father Doty is a living ex- ample of the phrase, 'LA man of actionu. HHe's the oldest man in the housef', says Fr. Simmons of FATHER THOMAS J. DUGAN, SJ., Prep's assist- ant headmaster. Fr. Dugan, who also serves as prefect of discipline, is constantly on the go, administering to every need of the school. He has acquired the respect and admiration of the older students, a fact which is often borne out by the frequent visits paid him by alumni. Students enjoy his reminisces of past experi- ences at Prep during his twenty-one years here. On his birthday students honor him with such useful gifts as Bermuda shorts, combs, hair tonic, and Hyouth elixir . He is constantly followed around the campus by his faithful Labrador retriever, Randy, who was born equipped for the religious life with his own natural black cassock. Fr. Dugan has made the student body at Prep his primary concern. In fact, his life is Georgetown Prep, and it could have nothing better going for it than his attention. Rev. Thomas Dugan Assistant Headmaster Rev. Joseph Doty Headmaster

FATHER VINCENT F. BEATTY, S.J., Rector of Georgetown Preparatory School, holds the responsibil- ity for the overall operation of the school. After serving for ten years as President of Loyola College in Balti- more and for two years as Director of the Manresa-on- Severn Retreat House, Father Beatty came to Prep in June of 1966. He has been Director of the American Red Cross C1955-615, President of the Maryland As- sociation of Independent Colleges C1961-635, and is an honorary chief of the Choctaw Indians. When he is not on the ,road raising funds, Father Beatty can be found at work in his office. His door is always wide open in hearty welcome to student, parent, faculty member and, on occasion, to a knight of the road . Among his hobbies Father Beatty numbers gadgetry and amateur psychiatry. Yet there is little wonder that he never finds time for either, as he tries to fulfill the duties of Rector of Georgetown Prep, Superior to the Jesuit Community there, and President of the New- comen Society. These seemingly diverse commitments are woven into one in the person of Prep's Rector-to the great benefit of all Prep students. FATHER JOSEPH B. DOTY, SJ., is a doer. Perhaps the most infiuential man in the school, Father Doty always finds time to deal with individual problems of the students. Last summer Father Doty attended a Conference on Secondary Schools in Cheshire, England, when not continent-hopping, he can be found in his new office or over in the swimming pool at his favorite form of exer- cise. As Headmaster of Georgetown Prep, he has initi- ated many significant changes. in the curriculum and administration of the school. The division of each Form into four groups and the increase in the number of elective courses have been among the improvements made since Father Dotyls arrival in 1962. Rev. Vincent Beatty Rector and President

Mr. James Adler, English MR. JAMES ADLER, one of Prep's youngest teach- ers, has also proven himself one of the most able and imaginative. Mr. Adler, who teaches English to Juniors and Seniors, is also the Moderator of the Drama Club. It was he who was in large part responsible for helping the Club achieve its present status. That his talents are appreciated by people outside Prep is evidenced by the fact that Mr. Adler is engaged to be married this June. FATHER ANTHONY McHALE, S.J., in his first year as Senior Master, has become one of the most popular teachers at Prep, moreover, he commands a good deal of respect from his students. Father McHale's specialty is the expert advice which he has given the Seniors in relation to college applications. In addition to his coun- seling duties, he teaches Religion to the Juniors and Seniors, and fills the shoes of Mr. R. Kenny Burns as Junior X-Latin instructor. MR. EDWARD DOUGHERTY, S.J., teaches Latin to Juniors and Seniors. The soft-spoken scholastic has an air of serenity about him, he goes about his daily tasks, however, with the drive and dedication to detail which are typical of a Latin scholar. That this description of him is particularly glowing could be explained by the fact that, as Moderator of the yearbook, Mr. Dougherty must pass on every work which goes into print. Rev. Anthony McHale, S.J., Religion Mr. Edward Dougherty, S.J., Latin
