THE REV. FRANCIS HEHN, V ice-president Maintaining a college amounts to a much more than merely attending and teaching classes. Ad- ministrative plans must be made for the success- ful continuation of the institution. At this time, particularly, the office of vice-president carries a double responsibility: besides aiding in molding the policies of the school, consideration must also be given to the extensive expansion program out- lined for St. Joseph's. The Rev. Francis Hehn, a Certified Public Ac- countant, is a business man in his own right, a keystone in the college Board of Administration. He has held the vice-presidency since September of 1944 when he succeeded the Rev. F. Fehren- bacher.

THE VERY REVEREND HENRY A. LUCKS, President Uwz, jmfh, 67 It was in June, 1944, that the Very Reverend Henry A. Lucks, received his appointment to the presidency of St. Joseph's College. The horror of war was still in the airg but Father brought to his new position experience that would aid him in guiding expertly through the troubled seas the in- stitution of which he was now head. For seven years previously he had been Dean of Studies. Father Lucks' has been associated with St. Joseph's since his ordination in 1927. During the summers of 1929 and 1930 he took graduate courses at the University of Notre Dame, the following summer he attended the University of Illinois. He spent three years-from 1933 to 1936-at the Catholic University of America, where he received his Doctorate of Phil- osophy. Since that time he has been one of the leading professors in phil- osophy. The dual duties of registrar and dean between 1936 and 1943 limited Father Lucks' direct influence in the classroom. His devotion to high standards of excellence, however, indirectly accomplished much. V Now, with the country at peace once more, the campus has undergone 3 number of improvements. Under Father Lucks' guidance, many more are planned for the immediate future. Page twenty three

THE REV. SYLVESTER HARTMAN Known to all the students of St. Joseph's by his affable manner, Father Sylvester J. Hartman has the grave responsibility of be- ing the spiritual director on the campus. His association with the college has been one of the longest, and his work has reaped a boun- tiful harvest. THE REV. CLETUS KERN Anyone who hasn't had the privilege of meeting Father Cletus Kern, has been de- prived of meeting the man who holds the unenviable position of Registrar. This posi- tion calls for more than the usual amount of patience and fortitudeg Father Kern has both. Body, THE REV. EDWARD A. MAZIARZ 1 Directing student welfare has been no small task for Father Edward Maziarz. His post has demanded that he be a man of many talents. Though taxed to the limit, Father's efficiency has ever commanded the praise of both faculty and student body alike. THE REV. HENRY MARTIN The role of guiding the largest freshman class in St. Joseph's history has been com- petently realized in Father Henry Martin. Registration guidance is essential to each student stepping upon the threshold of learn- ing. To Father Martin the necessity of cor- rect freshman orientation has ever been of the highest importance.
