Copyright by Philip De Wos The Most Reverend John Joseph Glennon, D.D. Archbishop of St. Louis We students of South Side should be very thankful to our Archbishop. Without his assistance the scholar would have no quiet sanctum for study, the athlete no gymna- sium, and our teachers no fertile field for labor. lt is he who has provided us with our opportunity for a Catholic high school education. One of the truly great churchmen of America, the first citizen of Missouri, our Archbishop is by far St. Louis' outstanding educator. Benign, statesmanlike in his episcopal robes, yet beneath it all, a man of rare personal charm, he has never lost his sparkling Irish wit. He merits more than thanks. He deserves our daily prayer. Father Timpe, Assistant Superintendent Father Timpe has long been Father Thomson's trusted and faithful assistant. Quietly, unob- trusively, yet efficiently he has performed his task as Assistant Superintendent. It is our hope that he shall continue in this capacity with even greater success. Page Th ree in Father Thomson, Superin tenden t It is a rare and unhappy occasion when Father Thomson is forced to relinquish his duties as Superintendent of High Schools because of serious illness. His absence has been sorely felt, for such men as he are few and far be- tween. May his recovery be swift and complete.

Y Reverend Eugene Lamb, S.M., Chaplain It was a great day for South Side when a breath of Irish spirituality came to us in the person of Father Lamb. In his English and Latin classes he imparts some of his apparently unlimited knowledge - knowl- edge, his heavily charged brain cells have picked up by con- tacts on both sides of the ocean. Bro. John Hettich, S.M., Treasurer A mighty mite of a man is Brother lohn, who has been steward for three years. As principal, treasurer, and sta- tioner he has served the school, as teacher of higher mathema- tics he has served the seniors. He also finds time to be chief assistant to the Mothers' Club. Brother Julius J. Kreshel, S.M., Principal If we were to say Brother lulius is an exceptional Brother we would be underestimating him. Why? Because he is principal of South Side, yet a friend of South Siders. His labors, as leader of Marianist schools for twenty-three years, are blossoming and bearing fruit in the men of today. We feel that the work of his first year at South Side will also find its fruition in the man of tomorrow. Brother Frank Britz, S.M., . Vice- prin ci pal J Brother Frank knows a lot about many things and a little about everything. So it was not un- usual to have him as debate coach, titular teacher of 4-B, instructor of German and trig- onometry, and still see him man- aging the spots and flood lights in the auditorium or using a rip saw to cut scenery to fit the gymnasium stage. school officers Brother Theodore Kohnen, S.M., Registrar With a pen in one hand and a sheaf of forms and receipts in the other Brother Theodore walked into the office and be- came registrar of South Side. A functionary who must see all things, suspect all things, know all things and phone mothers. Even with that hanging over our heads, he made himself our friend. Page I our
