DOCTOR M. J. WOLFE
Doc Wolfe was a "boarder at SSC from 1919-1922 and a day student in 1922-23. In the graduating class of '23, he was first in his class. In high school he ran track and cross country and played on an undefeated SSC basketball team.
He entered medicine at Tulane University, and during the whole time at Tulane in med school he didn't miss one day of school.	While at	Tulane he
, ran cross country	and	track and earned three medals. Also while	at Tulane
he was a member of Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA), an honorary medical fraternity reserved for the top ten medical students in a graduating class. He graduated from Tulane in 1932 and spent two years of internship at Charity hospital in New Orleans.
He then became a member of the Mississippi Medical Association and began practising medicine in Bay St. Louis as a general practioner. He has been in Bay St. Louis for	all	but six years. From his earliest	years of	practicing
medicine, besides	his	regular office and hospital work,	Doc made	house calls
throughout Hancock, Pearl River and Harrison counties. Even today Doc still makes house calls in addition to his office and hospital work. In 1939 he helped organize the first blood bank in Bay St. Louis. On April 16, 1970, he suffered a severe heart attack which "sidelined him for awhile, but he is now back on duty."
Doc Wolfe is best known for his connection with St. Stanislaus. If ever an alumnus loved his school and worked for it, Doc Wolfe would have to be at the very top. Since 1933 Doc has been at St. Stanislaus nearly everyday to check on the health of the boys and the brothers. No time of the day or night will Doc refuse to come help one of "his boys." Many will Joke about his methods, but everyone knows in the long run that what Doc says is the best for them. In sunning up Doc's life, one would have to say that he was not a man looking for honors in his profession, but rather he was one who believed in working hard and giving his best to his profession.
Doc Wolfe'8 name is submitted to the nominating committee of the St. Stanislaus Hall of Fame as an example of a person who has not received much outward praise for his work, but shows in his work his deep love and connection with St. Stanislaus.
