.I w i I- Qi? FATHER WILLIAM WARD, our principal, came to Toledo after having been Superior of the Father Judge High School Community in Philadelphia. Father Ward's leadership has been responsible for the high standard estab- lished and maintained at St. Francis during these first three years. His office has always been open to us, and his willing- ness to meet us on our own groundi' inspired confidence and respect. We were very much aware of his interest and enthusiasm for every part of school life. From him we have received a great deal, as much by example as by direction, and we are sincerely grateful. With our gratitude, we offer to Father Ward our prayers and good wishes that St. Francis may enjoy many years of his services. Our Oblate Leaders THE VERY REV. WILLIAM D. BUCKLEY, O.S.F.S., is Provincial of the American Province of the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales. From his headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware, Father Buckley assigns all of the Oblates who teach at St. Francis. Because of the distance involved, we see Father only occasionally, but we are conscious of his interest in us. We are grateful for the opportunity to honor him by including Father Buckley in our yearbook. FATHER JGHN FUQUA, Superior of the Oblate Com- munity at Brisson House, was among the first Oblates to come to Toledo in 1943. Father taught at Central Catholic for twelve years and sewed for several summers as Director of Camp De Sales in Michigan. He was co-chairman of the fund raising drive to build St. Francis, where he teaches Re- ligion to the freshmen and sophomores. Father Fuqua is faculty moderator of the Brisson Association.
