W ,, m 7 ,, , W 24 Rev. William A. Dehler, S.J. Father Dehler, a newcomer at Xavier, instructs his sophomore class in history; but the great ma- jority of his time is spent as the school librarian. Father is always glad to lend a helping hand to stu- dents searching for literary infor- mation. Rev. Henry P. Milet, S.J. Missionary, chaplain, and teacher -all three of these terms can be applied to Father Milet who has spent over sixty years in service to God, as a Jesuit. Father pres- ently acts as Spiritual Father to Xavier students. Mr. Thomas A. Gentil The result of Mr. Gentills hard work and eFforts is the fine per- formance of Xavieris Marching Band. Under Mr. GentiPs able direction the band has become a well drilled, entertaining unit, as all who have attended Xavierls football games will attest. Bro. Fred J. Novacek, S.J. The task of keeping the Jesuit faculty well fed falls to Brother iiFreddieF But his hidden work in the basement kitchen fails to keep him from the public eye; in his few spare moments he ably manages the student book store. .. ,. .mgidiu:mgfwwguwvv few... Rev. Nicholas H. Mann, S.J. Nearly always immersed in a maze of books and accounts, Father Mann handles the finances of the school. His fine work suc- cessfully keeps the wolf from Xa- vieris door and occupies almost every available minute of his time. Bro. Paul F. Mattingly, S.J. Brother Mattingly isvthe general handyman at Xavier. Much of his time is spent in the boiler room keeping the school supplied with light and heat. His background in the field of electricity in the Coast Guard helps him discharge his duties. ADMINISTRATION Rev. Rudolph A. Prickril, S.J. Any visitor to St. Xavier cannot help but notice the smart, clean appearance of the building. All the credit for this neatness belongs to the efficient management of the Father Minister, Rev. Rudolph Prickril, S.J. Rev. Raymond B. Walsh, S.J. Since 1933 Father Walsh has served as Treasurer at Xavier. Although ill health has caused Father to curtail his work this year, the order and efficiency which he has established in the Treasureris Office enables the OHice to con- tinue to function smoothly.

Rev. Charles J. Brannen, S.J. Assistant Principal A graduate of St. Xavier High School, Father Brannen has returned to Xavier to take over the two all important jobs of assistant principal and athletic mod- erator. To all students of Xavier, it is apparent that there are few leisure mo- ments in the life of this man. From early in the morning till late in the aft- ernoon, Father is hounded by students inquiring about noon passes, admission slips, Mass cards, bus permits, and, 0f cburse, jug assignments. Popular, capa- ble, and friendly, Father Brannen has done a wonderful job in his first year at Xavier. Rev. William F. Fay, S.J. Principal Any high school, regardless of size, re- lies to a great extent upon the direction of its principal. St. Xavier High School is certainly no exception, for it leans heavily on the quiet, efficient guidance of its well liked principal Father Fay. Working together with the president, Father Fay coordinates the activities of the faculty and student body into one smoothly functioning unit. Certainly, much of the prosperity which the school has enjoyed in recent years can be ac- credited to the unceasing efforts of Father Fay. 23
