Br. Dick works way to the top Gross High might have had a new principal this year, but he certainly wasn't a new face. He was Bro. Dick Shea, 14 year veteran of Gross. Bro. Dick first came to Gross at the request of Father David Paul, the principal of Gross at that time. He started out at the bottom of the lad- der and gradually worked his way to his present position. Bro. Dick's first job was that of groundskeeperg later he went on to teach typing classes. As the years passed, Bro. Dick became certified as a teacher and was head of the Busi- ness Department. The school ex- panded and the need for another administrator arose. Bro. Dick be- came the dean of freshmen, which meant he took care of discipline for the freshman class. The job of dean was soon expanded to include fresh- men and sophomores. As principal, Bro. Dick supervised everything that went on at school. He worked with the other deans to improve school life. Bro. Dick placed more emphasis on spirit. One of his greatest challenges was to strive to provide top quality education while keeping cost increases to a mini- mum. He also continued to further develop the endowment fund. Bro. Dick reached out to many different foundations in hopes that they would support the fund and spread the word of Gross High's excellence. When asked what direction he saw the school heading, Bro. Dick re- plied, lt will be recognized as the exemplary Catholic high school for education, community and spirit. administratronf89
