Hausfeld, Brother Walter (Mechanical Drawing).  Dave Pfriem notes that Brother Wally was a remarkable man.  He contracted cancer of the throat after we graduated and had his vocal cords removed as a result.  After recovering from surgery, he went back to teaching and refused a microphone to assist his teaching voice.  He talkeed by 'belching' air, and he was very good at it.  Later, Dave taught with Brother Wally at Purcell High in Cincinnati.  He was Wally's helper in constructing a library for the faculty house (in this case, helper means carrying the lumber and tools).  Brother Wally measured and cut eveything perfectly, leaving almost no scrap.  It was a beautiful library when he was finished.  Brother Wally provided the punch line (unknowingly) to one of the funniest capers described by Dave Pfriem in his book 'Uncommon Bonds.'  Brother Wally remained a lifetime member of the Society of Mary and died in 1981.
