with Efficiency and Understanding The Sisters of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament have earnestly tried to prepare all Nazarites to face the many challenges and decisions that lie ahead. Their daily contact with the students manifests a certain spirit of generosity, friendliness, and understanding. These sisters have given the pupils at Nazareth much solid advice and guidance to as- sist them on their way to future accom- plishments. Sister Borgia, high school principal, uses the wisdom, which she has gained from experience, and her keen under- standing to keep our school running smoothly. Her main objective is to pro- mote the spiritual and intellectual de- velopment of her girls. Her interest in each girl is extended beyond the class- room because Sister Borgia concerns herself with the personal problems and the goals of each student. The grammar grades acquired a new principal this year. Sister Stephana. With sister have come a smiling face, keen intelligence, and great desire for thi se under her Jurisdiction to learn. In addition to her duties as principal. Sister Stephana also conducts seventh grade classes.

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
