M2233 . f t rsegf , ici' . s Reverend A. A. Weber Pastor Reverend A. A. Weber, for twenty-five years pastor of St. Wendelin's, has labored untiringly and unceasingly for the good of his parish. His material ach- ievements: Renovation of the church, building of the grade school and sisters' convent and the acquisition of the site for the proposed new high school cannot rival with his spiritual achievements. The material structures will fall to ruin but never the spiritual. From the beginning of his ministry in Fostoria, Father Weber has been a living example and model for every one of his charges, having given many years of faithful service and devoted duty to his God, for which he can be repaid only in the life to come. Father Weber is known and respected for his piety and self-denial-not only in this diocese, but far and wide. Eight

FRQSQS. ! Right Reverend Samuel A. Stritch, D. D. Bishop of Toledo Our Bishop, Rt. Reverend Samuel A. Stritch, has always shown a great interest in the education of the boys and girls of his diocese, The students of St. Wendelin's realize this, for his lordship has enthusiastically encouraged Father Weber to get the new St. Wendelin high under way. Our Bishop has brought to completion a monument of education in the Catholic Central high school in Toledo, and we earnestly hope that before another year will dawn the people of Fostoria will be looking upon a second achievement-a new St. Wendelin high. It is the one ambition of the Rt. Reverend Bishop to train valiant moral men and women, t d d f' s ur y an irm leaders for church and country - and his means thereto are the Catholic high schools and colleges, made possible by the loyal, sacrificing advocates of higher learning.

Shortly after his arrival he was taken ill and was unable to teach for about a month, but after his recovery he started in with re- newed vigor and plenty of vim. He immediately began constructive work among the students in the art of public speaking. He showed great interest in the oratorical ability of the students and through his expert coaching he suc- ceeded in bringing second honors to St. Wendelin's in the diocesan oratorical contest. He organized the debating team which has been very successful and also witnessed the beginning of the l'Wranglers Club. This is the first year that the high school has ever had a debating team and the students wish to ex- tend their appreciation for the favors received from Father J. E. Duffy. Nine
