The subjects they teach the stu- dents include Religion, Latin, 'Sociology and American History. With the addition of the eight priests, St. lVlary's program has been broadened with a stronger re- ligious points of view. We are most grateful to the pastors, who have graciously sacrificed their as- asistants so that they might aid us in the Catholic education of youth. But We are also most thankful to the priests, them- selves, who have given their time so gener- ously in order to teach us the Way to live with God in the World today. FR. JOHN WITTREICH, St. Bernard's, handled Sophomore Religion. His cheer- fulness endeared him to class.

By JOSEPH SAFKO On May 17 our beloved pastor cele- brated the fortieth anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood. These forty years have been heralded by an unselfish devotion to the saving of the souls that God has placed in his care. Much of Father's time was spent in the armed forces after which he came directly to St. Mary's. The Colonel brought with him many progressive ideas which have in six short years served to modernize our school program. Through his insistance we are now proudly accredited as a North Central School Our cur11cular activities have been extended and expanded considerably We now have a fully equipped cafeteria a com plete art room and the finest football field in Ohio Several more classrooms includ ing a new business department were com pleted at the beginning of this school year Before Father Price came to us we had only a meager sports program nor could we claim a newspaper or yearbook Now sports are a vital part of our school life we even have a wrestling team Our news paper The Crusader IS a publication of which to be proud as for the yearbook you can see the product We of the Bluebook staff have always known Father as a keen wltted friend His when our spirits were low from mental fatigue or anxiety He d often V1S1t us while we were working 1n the art room Jokmg about the girls hairdos or commenting on the fine Job the stai was doing But he has been more than Just a per sonal friend For two years he has taken and developed almost every picture which appears in out yearbook We doubt that anyone has spent more time or effort toward the success of the Bluebook Everyone in school has at one time or another been the object of his camera whether it be in class pictures or informal shots of dances Without his contr1but1ons REV FR JOHN J PRICE Administrator of school for past seven years has undertaken posi tion of Photographer for the Bluebook and encouragement our yearbook would never be realized. n The Colonel's many interesting ex- periences and hobbies are to a great extent responsible for the perennial usefulness of his personality. The days when he worked for his dad as a waterboyg the t1me when he was a railroad employee - all these pleasant memories remain from the time when he and his father were pals. It is with great joy and gratitude that we, the students of St. lVIary's, raise our voices in hearty congratulation on your fortieth anniversary PASTOR, SCHOOL HEAD . . , - A I . .
