r... . 1 FATHER DOMINIC FATHER FINTAN FATHER BLASE ur Leaders and Teachens Holding the line in the Treasuref's oflice against infla- tionary students seeking to overdraw their allowances never prevents Fr. Dominic and his assistant, Fr. Arnold, from failing to see that the Prepsters have good wholesome meals or new athletic equipment when it is needed. Two other important providers for Prep students are Frs. Fintan and Austin. Father Fintan generously donates the college library facilities and often his personal services to Prepsters whose mental needs are sources of information and knowledge. Father Austinls contribution is his entire person, dedicated to-the assistance of each student who en- counters spiritual difliculties during his stay at the Prep. The physical well-being of the boys rests in the capable hands of Stephen Nealon, lVl.D., and Gervase Nealon, lVl.D., whose constant attendance and excellent care have returned to the gridiron many a lost player and, to the classroom, swiftly recovered students. Docn Hungerman, resident nurse, also helps keep the classrooms filled by his unerr- ing intuition in knowing whether or not the Prepsters visit his department to avoid tests. None of Fr. Celestinefs pupils, however, seek pink', pills during class hours for fear of miss- ing his songfests, f'Aufgaben', or German sayings. Another vital force in the life of every Latin and Greek student is Fr. Otto, a fundamentalist first, last and always. Fr. Alto is a stickler for fundamentals, too. The thorough knowledge gained by his students is proof of the pudding. Fr. Ierome's math and religion classes will hold a lasting place in the heart bf every Prepster who attended them.

FATHER NORBERT FATHER DUNSTAN l FATHER AIDAN FATHER EMMERAN uke Up the Torch Whether Father Norbert is ushering the pretty St. Benedict girls around the campus or impressing Prep scholars with Spanish gram- mar, his direct methods always result in gales of laughter. Translations like Europa est ter- ra,' from Etymology or Veni, vidi, vicii' from Caesar present no more a problem to students than the students themselves do to Father Aidan. His uncanny ways of tricking the boys and forcing them to think amazes the students beyond measure. With precise, methodical steps, Latin periodicals and jokes, his class is anything but dull. Begin with a storyf, ex- plains Father Dunstan when he expounds the principles of good speech. Be it freshman Eng- lish or senior speech, he lives up to this maxim in every class and delights all with his humor- ous stories. As right-hand man to Father Ulric, Father Emmeran Hnds himself confronted with many problems-the greatest is probably the class he undertook to teach physics to this year. He surprised them all, however Ceven, perhaps, himselfj, when the Hnal results came in and his boys made out with flying colors. In addition to his other background, several years of playing professional baseball and four- teen years of teaching, Mr. Smith, a veteran of World War II, will have another source of colorful stories and anecdotes for his classes when he reminisces about his service in the Naval Intelligence Department. Listen close- ly, youse guys, because I only want to explain this ten timesf, quotes Father Ulric as he drives home a difficult point. Because he knows how to combine humor with his exacting meth- ods of instruction, he is one of the best-liked professors in the Prep. Father Norbert and the Piggy Bank 6'I'll get my pound of flesh!
