IJEDICATIUN ,,V, ', , w ,fff 2 f ff ,M We, the Senior Class of 1955, dedicate this issue of THE PANTHER to Mr. Leo j. Long. Mr. Long has served in our school as both teacher and athletic coach almost since the school was founded. In all those years he has ever given that good example that is associated with a Christian gentleman. And so, in grateful acknowledgment of his con- tribution to Father Ryan High School and its spirit, we dedicate this yearbook to him. 9

Each school morning some two hundred and eighty-four alarm clocks ring all over the city and county, and the students of Father Ryan High School begin another day. We might say that their progress to this central Catholic high school for boys is about as varied as the history of travel. They come by various means ..... on foot, by bus, car, bicycle, motor scooter, even via the thumb . . . . . from every section of Nashville and Davidson County. But, no matter how they come, the majority of them manage to arrive here before the bell signals the beginning of the first period. Some come early to offer Mass in the school chapel. The eight-thirty bell sounds the beginning of another day with prayers and roll call. After two class periods, a ten minute break is enjoyed by all to collect books, thoughts, and a few puffs on a cigarette. Two more class periods complete the morning and with the sounding of the recess bell at twelve-fifteen, faculty and students adjourn for the cafeteria.
