No exception to the rule, the Gashouse Gang in the conventional sketch and letter class proved their ability at the unimaginable. Father Herman shows Kevin Danaher how to draw lines.

Father Roger issues all pertinent information to a student's mother on Registration Day. Business Dept. When you need Fr. Roger, don't expect to find him in the journalism room, merely printing another Tatler , or preparing the Alumni News -chances are he's already been there. You might find him in the Roost organizing another Alumni reunion, or raffling tickets to the Rose Bowl . He's probably at Amelia Earhart Stadium organ- izing a Political Night , or helping a pho- tographer set up equipment for senior pictures. And if you notice several stray Cadillacs, check Room 6 for a coin meeting. Don't panic if he doesn't appear for typing or bookkeeping, because you can bet he's building more bridges between Maur Hill and the outside. Father Roger teaches his typing class to find the the right keys in the dark. 16

Father Kieran points out an example of poor English to Mike Donahoe and Bernie Ewigman. Fr. Thomas contemplates conking someone on the cocoa. English Dept. Although this year's English Department was subjected to several alterations, it remained an effective tool for perfecting individual style and appreciating good literature. Veteran Fr. Wilfred stressed to English IA, MB, IMA and NIB students the importance of being concrete and using only the one right word. Fr. Thomas, ace dramatist and part time teacher from the College assumed command of the senior divisons and a Speech course. He operated under somewhat adverse classroom con- ditions, but succeeded like only an Army man could. In addition to Speech and Dramatics, Fr. Jordan taught English IB and IIA. His freshmen got the basics of paragragh construction and literature. His sophomores studied the forces influencing American Literature. Fr. Kieran taught English 11C and stressed the fine points of grammar and word relation- ships. Brother Jude stayed in there with English 1C students.
