MR. JOSEPH E. BOYLE, M. A. Superi1zte11de111f ll' You could participate in an auditorium period and witness the unstinting applause amd genuine enthusiasm which greets Mr. Boyle's every appearance before the student body you would realize that he possesses the respect and affection of the school. Mr, Boyle is one of the few teachers and administrators who have accomplished this feat. His eflicient administration and excellent disciplinary powers have given him the esteem of all his colleagues. His deep interest in the individual student and his understanding of a student's problems capped by his kindly humor has won the students' sincere esteem. We believe that a person like Mr. Boyle makes his own good luck. But if good wishes will add more success, here are the best wishes of '43. W'e know some of thc difficulties he encountered and we want him to know that we hope the future years will have no obstacles that cannot be handled as efficiently as he has handled his problems in this war year 1943. l MR.
