To which of the many Jesuits named Arthur Walter is this yearbook dedicated? Is this the priest who teaches Latin and English and Religion to freshmen? Or is this the priest who offers Mass each morning for the Sisters of the Holy Humility of Mary at the Lourdes Educational Center? Some will think we have in mind the athletic Father Walter —the one who was outfielder for John Carroll during his college days—and is now the most regular enthusiast the Wildcats have. Some will remember a priest who served for so many years as assistant superintendent of buildings. Teachers probably think first of the priest who takes such humble pride in the honors won by so many students in subjects for which he provided their foundation. Some may think of the man who reorganized and expanded the faculty library. Many will quietly identify the priest to whom they owe their gratitude for his gentle spiritual direction. To which of these many Jesuits is the 1964 Ignatian dedicated? To all of them. Father Arthur Walter seems no one among many Jesuits but many Jesuits in one. We, the class of 1964, dedicate our Ignatian with warm-hearted respect and admiration, to the priest who was our teacher is a scholar has become our friend and will always remain our idea of a Jesuit priest.
