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

Mr. Eugene Nolan, SJ., English Rev. D. Bradley Murray, SJ., Physics, Mathematics The lithe Jesuit moves about the campus. It is EUGENE NOLAN, SJ., guiding an English class here, moderating the Blue and Gray there. This ubiqui- tous individual follows his esoteric pursuits, yet puts his mark on many projects around the school. His organ- izational prowess gave the Blue and Gray a new look, as a highly sophisticated literary magazine, his English classes are nothing less than academic Hhappeningsf' Indeed, Mr. Nolan has a vital role to play at George- town Prep, and he plays the role well. FATHER D. BRADLEY MURRAY, S.J., has long been acknowledged as one of Prep's most personable Jesuits. Making his residence on the wing of Senior corridor, he teaches Physics and Mathematics and coaches the golf team. Much of his time this year has been spent bringing computer programming to Prep. He is most likely to be found in the Physics Lab, the computer room or in his room at his favorite hobby- sleeping. A fellow Jesuit has said of him, Without a doubt, he is one of the best teachers around. MR. AUGUSTINE COUPE has often been quoted for the line, A sport for every boy, a boy for every sport. It is an adequate reflection of his ambition for the boys at Prep. His years as Athletic Director bear witness to the enthusiasm which he brings to all his endeavors. And this goes beyond the realm of athletics. Mr. Augustine Coupe, Biology
