THE SCll00L O the average student the school means more than four walls and a maze of desks, it means a thousand funny, and sad, and happy memories of several years of his life, it means the friends he has made, the ideals he has learned, the truths he has been taught, the ambitions he has formed. lispecially this is true of an alumnus who reyisits the scenes of yesteryearg as he walks again down the corridor past the Inner Temple of the Headmaster, as he greets Doc FitzGerald in the Library, as he strolls about the gym, and the fields, and the courts, as he talks with his old teachers, as he buys his two-for-a-nickel in the Cafeteria, as he kneels again in the quiet chapel, as he glances at the familiar homework assign- ments on the classroom blackboards, there is hardly a room that does not suggest a host of pleasant memories, hardly a desk that does not tell some story. On the pages that follow we have tried to capture the spirit of the school, so that in days to come, the reader may take up the book, turn the pages, and nod reminiscently to himself, as he says This is the Prepf, PRESIDENT STREET 8 45 EXERCISE FOR HEALTH LYDEN PIVOTS - -X49

y AL MATER from the Hrst many student activities were firmly cemented, particularly the Sodality and Debating Society. The years rolled by. In 1913 the name was again changed, to Brook- lyn Academy. This continued until Brooklyn Prep was ofhcially designated as the title in 1927. Two news organs, the Bark and the Live Wire, sprang into precarious existence in 1915. Both faded from view after serving a short term, and in 1929 were replaced by the deathless Blue jug. In 1915, too, Prep trounced St. john's, 19-0, in the first meeting of the two Titans. Ah, those good old days! 1921 goes down in history as the year of the First outing. 1929 is equally immortal for the formation of the Student Council. Doctor FitzGerald was the moving force in the formation of the Library in 1928 The Communion Breakfast originated in 1931 vuth the formation of the Fathers Guild In 1934 rather Klocke arrived That brings us up to date Ten years from now some body will again record the pro res f h g s o t e Prep and perhaps account the present era as the most epoch making of all We ll see f '4- THE LIBRARY AN ENT RANCE 11
