Corner pieces strengthen whole Members of the administration were the corner pieces of our puzzle. Though, in the end, no piece is more important than any other, the puzzle could not be completed without the corner pieces. They helped to shape our puzzle and to hold it firmly in place. The adminis- tration consisted of seven people, each one just as important as the others. Reverend William Brelsford was our principal. He graduated from Bishop Amat High School in 1962. He received his B.A. from St. John's College in 1966 and received his M.A. from Mt. St. Mary's College in 1976. He served as the vice-princi- pal of St. Mo's during the 1979-80 school year. Sister Dianne Nixon was our vice- principal. She earned her B.A. from Holy Names College and her mas- ters degree in science from Oregon State University. Our Dean of Students was Mr. James Dela Torre. He earned a B.A. in physical education and minored in science, health, and law. Sister Jacqueline Quinn was Dean of Studies. She received her B.A. from Holy Names College and is currently taking courses in com- puter science and programming. Sister Susan Schaad was our Fi- nancial Officer. She received a B.A. in psychology and history from Holy Names College in Oakland, and a masters degree in Administration of Non-profit Institutions from Notre Dame University. Mrs. Elizabeth Dewdney served as Director of Guidance. She re- ceived her B.A. from Mary Rogers College in New York and her M.A. in political science from Fordham Uni- versity. In addition, she has her state counseling credential. Sister Cheryl Milner served as Campus Minister.
