Priests witness God through communication with teens; Throughout our high school days there is al- ways one group of people willing and ready to help us in anything. These people are the priests of the faculty. They are a source of counsel and understanding. They form friendships each per- son cherishes and make a link of better communi- cation with modern teenagers. In religion classes, they point out to students the role Christians must play in life. As the Constitution on the Church says, theirs is often a humble and hidden service in which their generous cooperation with their bishop and pastor is of greatest value to their growth in holiness, and therefore, ours. The students especially appreciate and ad- mire St. John ' s novice principal. Rev. William C. Parker, for the way he willingly and whole- heartedly took over that demanding job. His de- termination that We are the best! stressing a spirit of devotion and pride in the school and its aims, generates contagious school spirit. Father Parker, born November 12, 1938, ordained May 30, 1964, and still in his first assignment, has shown leadership and concern by advising St. John ' s Young Christian Students and teaching two classes of sociology in which he emphasizes student responsibility to learn by research and thought rather than by formal classes. REV. WILLIAM C. PARKER, A.B., THIRD ASSISTANT; FOURTH PRIEST-PRINCIPAL. UPPER LEFT: Father Parker is one administrator whose genial morning smile is not obscured by a day of responsibility. LOWER LEFT: As sociology teacher. Father stresses maturity to Nancy Bockey while seniors Deborah Bryant and Mary Lou Bonifas agree. RIGHT: Assemblies contain moments of personal confrontation between principal and students. 12
