ADMINISTRATION Working together in co-operation with the Board and faculty, the Administration handles the momen¬ tous task of keeping Premontre a well-oiled, preci- sioned instrument. Under their watchful eyes, im¬ portant aspects of the school, such as public rela¬ tions, programming, discipline, activities, and guid¬ ance, are directed towards one important goal — the development of a Christian Gentleman . Each man is an expert in his field, and each does his job well. Father Toonen, Principal, kept a fatherly eye on all areas of school activities. After guiding the school so well the last few years, Father Toonen is leaving for a year of study in Spain and eventually a teaching position at St. Norbert College. Assistant principal Father Blecha takes care of the important paper work that accompanies any high school organiza¬ tion. Mr. Harry Hoehne, vice-principal and discipli¬ narian, sees that the rules and regulations estab¬ lished by the Board and faculty are obeyed. Father Peeters, Registrar, has the almost impossible task of rostering 800 students into a schedule that runs as smoothly as it does. Guidance Director, Father Wigman, handles the task of processing senior col¬ lege applications, one of the many important pro¬ grams of the guidance department. A lucky photographer was able to capture this picture of all five administrative members in the same place and at the same time! Father Peeters, Father Blecha, Mr. Hoehne, Father Toonen, and Father Wigman. 59

ART DEPARTMENT CAPTURES TWO AWARDS IN NATIONAL SCHOLASTIC ART COMPETITION In a time heavy with apathy and a lack of involve¬ ment, Premontre ' s faculty stands apart, for they are continually seeking and developing areas of interest both in and apart from the school. MR. SHORT was engaged in a research project at the University of Wisconsin in Mathematics, and was an active mem¬ ber of the National Council of Teachers of Math, the Republican Party and the school ' s Investment Club. FATHER BLECHA promoted the Wisconsin Conser¬ vation Association and the North-East Audubon So¬ ciety, while serving as Freshman class advisor. MR. HOEHNE, Chairman of the Brown County Citizens for Educational Freedom, was elected to the State Board of Directors of CEF. Their aim: to push for leg¬ islation fostering tuition rebates to parents who send their children to private institutions. FATHER STREBEL implemented the Kennedy physi¬ cal fitness program by jogging ten miles each day. MRS . MAYHUGH found herself in a unique posi¬ tion: that of being one of only two female faculty members. An energetic Democrat, she vigorously supported the party. FATHER KASTENHOLZ became chairman of the Green Bay Diocesan Foreign Lan¬ guage Association. FATHER BECKER ' S ambitions in¬ clude competition on the golf course and an avid interest in the baseball circuit. MR. ALLEN, a mem¬ ber of the PEA and WEA, has made horses a hobby for his entire family to enjoy during their summer vacation. FATHER MALONEY feels his most note¬ worthy accomplishment this year was joining our il¬ lustrious faculty. Aside from that, he is active in the American Catholic Psychological Association and a city basketball league. Eager Frosh Jeff Crim and Roger Noel don the cloaks of artists as Fr. Rossey releases the cast sculpture of Lee Kerwin. 60
