C' '5- C I remember, I remember . . . ACTIVITIES High school is a preparation for life. It is the expressed purpose of Brother Rice High School to guide and further the mental, moral, physical and spiritual development of each of her students. Since this is so, a complete and comprehen- sive program of co-curricular activities is essential. If academic pursuits give a man form and direction, activities give him life. It is through her activities, that a school trains her foster children in the art of meaningful daily life. More important, it is through the activities, that a student can give of himself, and learn what unselfishness can mean. When, in future years, we retreat, momentarily, from constant cares, and reminisce over our four, full years at Brother Rice, Memory will call forth many images - but most vividly, the recollection of the happy nights and days we spent busily, in the organizations we have known so well. The seniors can look back upon the school in its infancy. With it they have taken each uncertain step. With it they have formulated each hesitant syllable. They have seen it grow and mature and effloresce into a thriving organism. All that it is, has been fashioned in the hands of its founders, and sustained in the determination of their wills. This development has re- quired great generosity, for a school is ultimately an inanimate thing, and an ungrateful mistress to serve. True, no good is done wtihout God's knowledge, and this, alone, is satisfaction. But also, there is the feeling of helping a friend, and of leaving a rich heritage for the thousands of young Catholic men who will be future students. It is a magnificent heritage, interwoven into each of our lives, and we are proud. Now, the pettiness is past. The trivial problems and conflicts have evaporated and the memory of what remains is monumental. It all began iust yesterday, but yesterday was eternity, and there is so much to remember! The school was far from being finished, and dusty newness still lingered in the air and clung to the windows, when from down the long corridors, reverberated the fortitudinous, if at first discordant, sounds of our school band. From the cafeteria area, even in those early months, there came a gavel's resounding call to order, as the already active Mothers' and Dads' Clubs prepared to meet the challenges before them. A spacious and beautiful stage area soon was com- pleted for the fast growing band and drama departments Modern laboratories accomodated the eager and ambitious members of the various science clubs, delving into the mysteries of Creation. Later, a Publications center, dark room, and crafts shops were equipped. Moderators of the different groups were chosen for their interests, and abilities. When it was necessary to engage a layman to direct an organization, truly outstanding men were chosen. These memories will be fixed indelibly in our minds and hearts -the wonderful times when we could depart from the arduous task of learning, and gather with a group of friends, united in a worthy aim. There is fun, there is pride in achievement. But most important, there is the satisfaction of sharing, moreover, giving of yourself -your talents, your ideas, your dreams - incorporating your life in the life of something you love. Let us remember this, then, when glancing through these captive memories. These four years and all about us rise together - skyward - as a monument to devotion.
