Former C C Returns As By Lynda Brandt A former graduate of Central Catholic, Sister Mary Fabian, SP, has stated that she enjoys being back at CC very much. It is so different to be here as a teacher instead of a student. There is so much school spirit now. I was very impressed by the enthusiasm at the pep ses- sions. The students will be cheering one minute and sud- denly there is a hush for the Memorare. That is real school spirit, she remarked. When Sister attended CC the fourth floor had not been built and the enrollment was consider- ably less. The boys were taught by the brothers and the girls by the sisters. They had a year- Grad Teacher book, and the SHAMROCK was just a mimeographed piece of paper. Sister Mary Fabian was so sure about her vocation that at graduation, when literature on marriage was being passed out, she said, Oh, don ' t give me any ' cause I won ' t need it. Bishop Noll had heard that she was planning to enter the religious life and when she knelt down to receive her di- ploma he asked her about it. She said that she was so sur- prised that she didn ' t know what to do. Sister Mary Fabian, whose homeroom is 205, teaches fresh- man Latin, English, and Re- ligion. Senior Football King To Be Crowned Nov. 3 The 1962 Football dance, will be Saturday, Nov. 3.
