A man is as great as the dreams he dreams, TEACHER OF THE YEAR
As great as I lie love he hears;
As great as the values he redeems,
And the happiness he shares.
A man is as great as the thoughts he thinks.
As the worth he has attained;
As great as the fountains at which his spirit drinks,
And the insight he has gained.
A man is as great as the truth he speaks,
As great as the help he gives,
As great as the destiny he seeks,
As great as the life he lives.
C.E. Flynn
I his poem reflects what hr. Donahue is as a professor and as a
friend true greatness. I he Teacher of the Year award was
given to f r. Donahue on Sunday, April 10, 19H8. He was
nominated for this award because of his outstanding
achievements and guidance throughout his twenty-three years at
Allentown College. As a Politics student, I have been
acquainted with fr. Donahue for four years and 1 (as well as
my fellow classmates) have cherished those years with him. He
has encouraged 11s to strive for our goals, to become stronger
individuals, and to have courage to withstand any harriers that
we may face. Not only has he guided us in a professional
manner, hut also on a personal basis — he has been a true
friend to all.
On behalf of my fellow classmates, I wish Fr. Donahue the best
that life has to offer him because he has given the best to us.
Thank you for everything Father — and Cod Bless!
