CARRYING OUT PROVINCIAL’S ORDERS Fr. Henry Naparla. O.F.M.. Guardian Whenever the scent of a pure Havana cigar is perceived, you can be sure that Fr. Henry is nearby. Father teaches first and second years of French. His master’s degree in French was awarded from DePaul University. He is the Guardian of the Friary and manager of the book store. Fr. Albin Miklaszewski, O.F.M. A pair of field glasses and a-pocket microscope are constant “companions” of Fr. Albin as he goes out on his frequent field trips.

They also become rather ac- complished artists, drawing and coloring illustra- tions under his critical supervision. Father is also Vice-Guardian of the Friary. 12
