FACULTY lt was Augustinian priests, just as those pictured on the next pages, who introduced the Catholic high school for boys to San Diego in l923. These men with their higher degree of education undertook, without any outside support, the task of erecting a center to implant knowledge into the younger generation. As San Diego rapidly expanded, St. Augustine with an increase in students and faculty also grew and is still growing today. At the present time, the faculty, under the direction of Father Wilbert R. Kirk, is composed of ten members. Each is a master in his own special field of study. Each, while his life is devoted to serving our Dear Lord, has dedicated himself to instructing the Catholic youth both intellectually and spiritually: to make them morally good, intelligent citizens of society. While performing this important job these educators also find time to aid the pastors of San Diego in their parish work. ln the fullest sense, these men are builders of society. No tribute we could pay. no praise we could write, would ever sum up our profound gratitude and appreciation for the things they have done fo-r us. Their friendship will always remain dear to us. May God bless and preserve these our faculty members' of 46. Photo courtesy Boren Studio
