7 5 f Quad raditions Since there are no complete annals of our school easily accessible to our students, it is doubt- ful if any Quad knows how all the traditions of his class began. In accordance with the theme of this book most of the present traditions of the Quads have been traced back to their origin, and are sub- mitted herein for the interest of the readers. lt is perhaps fitting that the name Quad ap- plied to our seniors should be traced back to its origin first, The name was given to the class by a committee appointed for that purpose by Mr. Calla- han, the Superintendent, three years after the found- ing of Prep. Due to the influence of Dr. Callahan, the name Quad , a term used for seniors in English schools, was adopted. One of the most outstanding events of the Quads is St. Nick's Day. The inception of this day was at one of the regular morning assemblies: the program was conducted by the Quads. The faculty, knowing nothing about the plans of the seniors. were greatly surprised and probably glad when the lowly Toots were presented with toothbrushes. On the eve of St. Nick's Day of the following year, a group of girls, one of whom later became very well known to our Latin scholars, was ushered into the school at a very late hour by the late Mr. Marshall. friend and custodian of Prep for so many years. This group was to till stockings with very foolish gifts, which were to be presented to the faculty the following morning. Dr. Callahan again knew nothing about the pranks of the Quads. The next year, since he realized that the school desired a day set aside for Christmas jubilee, he called a special chapel for the occasion. It was decided to dismiss school in the afternoon. Today there seems to be little con- nection between the First St. Nick's Day and that of 1930. The source of the Quad winter party is vague in the memories of old Prep students. Originally the Quads gave a ball which took place in the spring of the year, but due to the great list of activities at the end of the year the time of the party was changed. The tradition of the Quad banquet has also been changed. The Trips now entertain their su- periors at a sunrise breakfast on Flagstaff. Thus were the main traditions of the Quads begun. NIGMAN
