14 Over the past thirty years, Mr. James P. Glenn has devoted himself to the teaching and guidance of the students at St. Xavier High School. During this time, he has gained the respect and admiration of all who have had the pleasure of meeting him. Mr. Glenn has shown himselfto be a hne teacher and a warm, friendly person who is an example to his fellow man as an out- standing Christian gentleman. As a teacher Mr. Glenn has taught English, public speaking, and typing to the Xavier students with a thorough knowledge of each subject and a conscien- tious interest in the welfare of each student. Mr. Glennts sparkling wit and casual style of teaching have helped to-make his classes interesting and enjoyable as well as highly informative. The versatility of Mr. Glennts character is exemplified Mr. James P. Glenn by the active participation he takes in Xaviefs extra- curricular activities. For years he has been the director of the schoolts annual elocution and oratorical contest. The excellent performance of the students in this pro- duction is ample testimony to Mr. Glennas ability. In addition, he has directed the school play a number of times during his years at Xavier. Mr. Glennts knowl- edge of the arts of stage direction, casting, and make-up has certainly proved a great asset to the school more than once in the past thirty years Since 1957 marks the thirtieth year of his teaching career at St. Xavier High School, we gratefully dedicate the 1957 X-Ray to Mr. James P. Glenn, a man recog- nized as a devoted teacher, a versatile individual, and a true gentleman.
