Fr. Brendan Wroblewski. O.F.M. Sounds of music echo, bounce, and even melodiously flow through the school under the baton of Padua’s “musicman.” In the five years that he has been here, Fr. Brendan has organized a hand and an orchestra, and increased the music facilities. Without doubt, he has created a greater musical appreciation among the students. Besides his role as music instructor, Father teaches senior Religion and freshman Algebra. Mr. Joseph Leniak Every Saturday Mr. Lemak appears on the Padua campus to conduct a uniform program of physical education. Under his guidance and discipline, all students acquire muscular co-ordina- tion and physical fitness. His program concentrates on teaching the basic principles of many sports also. Fr. Cherubin Drag, O.F.M. Beginners in typing class are awed by the speed and efficiency in typing of their teacher, Fr. Cheru- bin. They find typing easier to learn than Polish, which Father also teaches. Many students seek counsel and guidance from him.
