At the head of the Math department, we find the very capable BROTHER DONALD D. MURRAY. Brother, who has been at O'Dea for four years, does a fantastic job of pouring Math Analysis and Trigonometry into the Seniors. He also grinds the Juniors through the vast reaches of Euclidian Geometry , guides the Sophomores through the jungles of second-year Algebra-Trigonometry, and Whispers Algebra to the Freshmen. In addition to this, Br. Mruray gets enough inspiration to reveal Religion to both Junior classes. During his free time, Brother uses his superb musi- cal ability to moderate our beautifully expressive band, and the up and coming Glee Club. Next summer, Brother Murray plans to enhance his mind-boggling knowledge of Mathematics by completing his M.A. in Math at the Uni- versity of Washington. MR. RICHARD NAISH, in his 10th year at O'Dea, majored in economics and history at Seattle University. There he earned his Bachelor of Commercial Sciences De- gree Which makes him more than qualified to teach at O'Dea. Mr. Naish's daily curriculum includes teaching Contemporary World Problems, General Business, and Sociology to the seniors 3 instructing Religion to the Juniors, and enduring a Freshmen Algebra Class. After school, Mr. Naish devotes his time to O'Dea as the defensive backfield Coach for the Varsity Football Team and as head Basketball Coach. Mr. Naish also holds the prestigious title of Head Athletic Director of O'Dea.

X. I 4 ,, ', . ,4 Completing his ninth year at O'Dea, BROTHER LAWIDR has been teaching for over 30 years. This past year, Brother taught Latin I, II, and III, and instructed our Sophomores of 2-A in Religion. Having received his M.A. in Latin from St. John's University in Brooklyn, Brother Lawlor is a fine asset to our language department. When not diligently help- ing Latin students, Brother devotes his spare time to hiking , bowling, and billiards, listening to classical music, and moderating our Sodality. BROTHER LINDEMAN, now in his second year at O'Dea, teaches Drafting to the Sophomores and Seniors, Geometry to the juniors, and World History to the Freshmen. In the sports world here at O'Dea, Brother conserves his energies for Spring, when he is Varsity Tennis Coach. Brother was also this years Swimming Team Coach, having had seven years experience at Leo High School, where he previously coached the Swim Team there. 1 . sr MR. BOB MARZANO, new head of the English Depart- ment, was active in giving the Seniors a run for their money in preparing them for college and the future. Be- sides teaching English I, II, and IV, Mr. Marzano is well known for his unpredictable and educational marriage course to the Seniors. If it is at all believable, he still finds time to actively participate as Varsity Football Receivers' Coach, Freshman Basketball Coach, ffourth year in a rowj and Var- sity track. Mr. Marzano holds a B. A. in English from Iona College and an M.A. in Education from Seattle University.

ll 1, -Y, .. In , , E ,x rg! 1 -1 92 I z r - f-'ff This year, among the other refreshing reforms in the attitudes and values of school life at O'Dea, we saw an unbelievable metamorphosis in the attitude of the football team, under the sway and control of MR. JOI-IN O'BRlEN, Head Varsity Coach. Mr. O'Brien had an almost mystic communication between the hearts and souls of the football players and himself. At will he could use this E. S.P. -like- p0Wer to move a dispirited group of players from the Notre Dame game to a raging vengeful mob that made a come- back against North Kitsap. When Coach O'Brien isn't dedi- cated to Working on his team, he is working on the Freshmen and Sophomores in P.E. at the Connelly Center, in handball, soccer, and basketball. Coach O'Brien also instructs Freshmen in the anatomy of the human body in Health Class and coaches J. V. Basketball. Away from school Mr. O'Brien plays handball, golfs, and snow skiis. A new addition to O'Dea English Department this year is BROTHER PERKINS who comes to us from St. Laurence High School in Chicago. Brother received his B.A. in English from Lewis College. With an iron will, Brother teaches English to the Sophomores and juniors and also guides the Freshmen through Religion Class. Brother taught an accred- ited journalism Class in connection with the newspaper. It YQ may as well be mentioned that Brother Perkins is the mod- erator of our famed and illustrious yearbook. Also under his moderation are the various religious activities. In the little Spare time that he has, Brother applies his superb musical ability to flying through Bach's extended Chorales and in conducting the Glee Club. In the future Brother plans to complete an M. Mus. fMaster of Musicj. Now in his fifth year at O'Dea, BROTHER REILLY con- tinues to frighten long haired, unshaven students as Dean of Discipline, as well as teaching Algebra Il, Chemistry III and IV and Religion I. Brother also runs the biggest, most financially important organization in the school-the Social Club. This group organizes and directs the dances. Brother was made Moderator of Athletics which, as he says, only means cleaning up after the players in the locker room. However this position means much more. Brother Reilly coaches varsity linemen in football season and varsity track in Field Events. Brother holds an M. S. T. in an Earth Sci- ence Curriculum project and a B. A. in Bio-Chemistry. When not disciplining students or giving the school's ath- 10 lete's a work-out, Brother enjoys listening to folk music, and re ading. D061-8' - -i-
