twig IQ! Rev. EDWARD H, BEDELL Religion III Sodality Co-director The most important subject in our High School years is Religion. Many of the Juniors were for- tunate to have the important doctrines of the Holy Spirit and the Mystical Body taught to them by Father Bedell. During the course of the year, Father has never hesitated to discuss and make clear the mind of the Church in matters as they arose. In addition to his teaching, Father is al- so Moderator of the High School Sodality. In connection with this work, he has created among the Sodalists and among the whole school, a spirit of solid Catholic Action and Christian thinking. Rev. LLOYD J. BOYMER Religion IV Bluebook Moderator For their last year in High School, the seniors are given a special course in Religion taught by Father Boymer. All the seniors seem to enjoy the class because Father keeps them on the light and hu- morous side. Aside from his duties as priest and teacher, Father is al- so active in the Holy Name Soci- ety and the Knights of St. John. As his special interest, Father acts as moderator of the Yearbook. Busy though he is, Father Boymer is chief picture taker, principal encourager, and an on the spot thought inspirer. Q1 - Q K .

The sen- iors will long remember him for the interest he has always taken in them and in their activi - ties. The underelassmen who will return know that in Monsignor they have a sincere, under- standing person, one who is genuinely interested in their welfare. Msgr. Clarence E. Elwell Rt. Rev. Msgr. John J. Price Monsignor Elwell is Superintendent of Schools of the Diocese of Cleveland and as such has the tremendous responsibility of overseeing the many schools in the di- ocese. l-le is also a co-author of the series of books used in our religion classes, Our Quest for Happiness .

Rev. THOMAS F, SULLIVAN Senior Problems New man Club Director The most controversial subject this year was Communism, as the Senior Civics classes, conducted by Father Sullivan, can easily verify. A good deal of time was spent studying this dictatorial Philosophy of government. During the school year, Father took a course in education at Ak- ron University and, upon its com- pletion, received his M.A. degree in education. In his after school hours, Fa- ther Sullivan is chief problem solver and counselor as head ofthe Newman Club of the University of Akron. For many of the students, this is their only contact with the religious teachings of the Catholic Church. Rev. JAMES SCHLEICHER Religion II The Sophomores will long remember Religion with Father Schleicher. This was, for them, a year spent primarily in learning about the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the center of the Liturgy of the Church. Between classes, Father may be seen shooting a few baskets in the auditor- ium. After school, he may join a group of boys in an impromptu game. An ardent sports fan, Father can be ex- pected at almost any game that one of our teams play, whether it be football, baseball, or basketball. Another out- side interest that he has is working with the boys that are servers here at St. Mary's.
