..-ev' . 554 BROTHER JOHN C. HUNT, having returned to us this year, after one year of retirement in Carmel, California, collects tuition and fees during homeroom and lunch. Originally from Dublin, Ireland, Brother has taught in Canada, the U. S. , England, and his native country. Brother Hunt has received a B.A. in Liberal Arts from Iona College, a M. A. in Latin from Gonzaga U. and a Masters Degree in Library Science from the University of Portland. In his fourth time back at O'Dea he is celebrating his 56th year as a Christian Brother. A new and pretty face has graced the office at O'Dea these past nine months. Filling in a vacancy left by Mrs. Kirshner, MRS. RAYMOND ALLEN became our new secre- tary-registrar. Quickly and quietly, she tediously worked at receiving tuition, marking absentees, and making out late slips. Born a.nd raised in Seattle, Mrs. Allen enjoys art, contemporary music and oil-painting at times when she isn't caring for her three children. She's quite an asset to O'Dea, and we sincerely wish that Mrs. Allen will continue on here in the future.

I wt. Q l I xt xx R D' A 1 ' I '.2,A MR FORTIER is notorious among the students from his skill in the hockey rink, to his ability as instructor in our Math Department. Not only does he teach Algebra I, and II and Geometry, but he also teaches Chemistry to the jun- iors. He is thoroughly equipped, however, having obtained his Bachelors Degree in Math from Denver University. On given Sundays, Mr. Fortier is found with his fancy footwork when the students meet the faculty at our infamous hockey matches. MRS. SUZANNE HAFF, a new and welcome addition to the O'Dea teaching staff came this year to teach Math and a course in Study Skills to several Freshmen. This course em- phasizes basic skills missed in grammar school. A 1965 Col- lege graduate of Mary Washington College, the female divi- sion of the University of Virginia, Mrs. Haff holds a B.A. in Political Science and taught Political Science and Remedial Reading and English to high school students in San Diego, California. She returned to receive her M.A. in reading at the University of Virginia, where she taught high school stu- dents. Finally, she moved here in September, after she re- ceived her job in March. 1 +
