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

Mr. Matthew Miskic, French MR. MATTHEW MISKIC, after only a few years, is - somewhat of an institution around Prep. His Old World charm and brilliant logic have given him a repu- tation as a teacher to be reckoned with, moreover, he is a man of subtle humor, appreciated only by the more discriminating among the students at Prep. Nevertheless, he is perhaps one of the most popular teachers here. He often delights his students with sto- ries of his dramatic escape from behind the Iron Cur- tain, and the concise rhetoric which enabled him to win his case before the World Court. Mr. Miskic is, truly, an interesting individual. FATHER VINCENT dePAUL ALAGIA, S.J., Prep's Student Counselor, returned to the school this year after a year-long leave of absence at Catholic Univer- sity. Father Alagia, whose jocularity and sense of per- spective have made him a well-respected-and well- liked-member of the Faculty, has proven himself an able administrator as well as a competent teacher. But Father Alagiais chief asset as an educator is that he cares. Many students have been the beneficiaries of his understanding counsel. MR. CHARLES SULLIVAN, S.J., has been one of the most active supporters of Prep's athletic program. He is a versatile man: in addition to running the Intra- murals program, Mr. Sullivan teaches Math to Fresh- men, Juniors and Seniors. In his spare time, he is an avid fan of the Baltimore Colts and Orioles. MME. GERMAINE NAHMIAS is the first woman teacher in Prep's history, as such, she is somewhat of a pioneer. Considered solely on her merits as a teacher, 20 she has proven herself more than equal to the chal- lenge-using the latest Language Lab techniques along with her own thorough knowledge of the French lan- guage. And Madame Nahmias has added to the basic grammar and vocabulary of the language she teaches a certain verve, the grace and subtlety which are charac- teristic of a woman's touch. MR. MICHAEL CANNIZZARO, the youngest mem- ber of the faculty, has shown some of the drive and imagination which betoken a youthful spirit, he has exhibited these qualities in every phase of his life this past year, whether making Chemistry come alive to Juniors and Seniors or coaching the wrestling team. Another year passes and a Prep institution remains. It is, of course, MR. EDWARD JOYCE, English Teacher par excellence. Formerly a 7th-and-Sth-grade teacher, he has accepted the transition to freshman and sophomore English as well as he has undertaken the variety of courses he has taught in a career of some twenty years. Along with the cupola, Top Corridor and Fr. Dugan, Mr. Joyce is a unique and indispensable part of Georgetown Prep. qi Rev. Vincent Alagia, S.J., Religion
