NEW LS. FACULTY As important part of a school ' s character and spirit is im- ported by the faculty. Their zest and will to do things often sets an important example to the student body. The two women teachers that were hired this year were; Sister Regina Therese and Sister Pat Melton. Sister Pat directs the History Department and Sister Regina Therese works dili- gently in the English Department. Four new male teachers were also hired this year. They were: Mr. Eric Bedel, Mr. James Turpin, Mr. Terry Usrey and Father Mark Svarczkopf. Mr. Bedel was assigned to Communi- cations. He teaches Communication Arts, Drama, Speech and Journalism. Mr. Turpin teaches Geometry, Earth Science, and Physics while Mr. Usrey teaches Chemistry, Algebra, and Ad- vanced Algebra. Father Mark brings a new light to the Religion Department by teaching the Freshmen about Jesus and the Study of the Bible, and enlightening the Seniors with ReUgion Electives. The new faculty this year have done an outstanding job of attaining the scholastic goals set by the school, and have helped to bring the community closer together.

This year there were thirteen teachers in the faculty, and each of them teach a variety of classes. Fr. Mader teaches one religion class and two math classes. He is also the Dean of Studies. Fr. Svarczkopf teaches three religion classes. Mr. Turpin ' s multi talents allow him to teach Geometry plus two science courses; Physics and Earth Science. Mr. Usrey is also a two course teacher. His strong points are Introductory and Advanced Algebra, plus Chemistry for the Juniors. The Eng- Ush Department is taught cooperatively by Mrs. Waggoner and Sister Regina Therese; while foreign languages are held by Fr. Sims, Latin and Fr. Schiedler, French. Miss Haskett teaches beauty and form through Art Appreciation and Art Lab. Mr. Huck teaches Senior Biology, Biology, Drivers Ed., and Physical Education. In addition to the other classes a new class Communication Arts, which is taught by Mr. Bedel has been added to the list of classes. Fr. Cleary, who is principal of the school, takes care of the various adminis- trative responsibilities, he has and occasionally finds time to come in and teach a class. Along with the classes and various responsibilities that the priests at L. S. have, they also serve as Guidance Counselers. They talk to the boys individually about their spiritual and social lives. They also make sure that you are doing your work and not failing. But it ' s not only the priests that you can go to for help. The teachers are also wilHng to talk to you if you don ' t wish to talk to a priest. So in the end it is the cooperative attitude of the faculty which marks the suc- cess of our administration.
