Administrators Manage Operation As of January 26, Brother John Kurtz has been principal of St. Joseph High School. Not only did Brother have numerous responsi- bilities to assume, but also it was necessary for him to put forth an extra effort in order to adjust to the unfamiliar curriculum and sur- roundings. Brother Kurtz ' s vigor and sin- cere interest were quickly recog- nized by all students attending St. Joseph. This year, Brother Ralph Krull relin- quished his duties as high school principal to Brother Kurtz. Brother Ralph served as principal for two and a half years. During those years, he helped St. Joseph overcome many obstacles. Through his efforts, St. Joseph is still functioning in accordance with the highest standards established by the state. While he was here. Brother was highly respected in the student circle. Although he has left St. Joe, the students will always remember and appreciate his contributions to the school. Mrs. Carl Heiling, school sec- retary at St. Joe, occupies herself by recording tuition fees, seeing that students ' transcripts are ac- curate, and keeping the attendance records up-to-date. She is always prepared to aid any teacher or stu- dent during her spare time. b £ »? r ::Xi;; 2 ,:- : W, ' ' T»f!J8
