tx., in - s. 473- 1 539.3213 . 3g.:, i 1 is 'Reverend John E. Duffy Reverend J. E. Duffy became a member of the St. Wendelin high school faculty in September, 1928. 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

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

E 'ery student of St. Wendelin high feels just that way about thefhallowed spot. A taint of sadness at leaving the old haven mingled with a copious sup- ply of good cheer at the prospects of a new building is the sentiment permeating the students of S. W, H. 'T he cheery mood and cooperative spirit which have prevailed in every class, collectively and individually, is treasured as a pearl of great price. May its value never depreciate! Rather, may it blossom forth, shedding its rays of influence to those other members of the high school who have enr- joyed it butt not yet reached the time when their appreciation is fullv conceived. May this spirit spread to every nook and corner of the new St. Wendelin 'and continue thus in years to come. Ten
