T is for Tremblay Who says learning has to be dull? Not Father Eugene Tremblay who began his class with the theme song from Johnny Carson. Father Tremblay ' s monologues aroused al- most as many laughs as the Tonight Show host ' s. Johnny Carson seemed to be a favorite of Father ' s as he borrowed many of his jokes. Father also seemed to take a liking to toads, specifically Toads in Space! His students faithfully returned his shouts of Toads in Space! with the reply of They ' re everywhere, they ' re everywhere! Father Tremblay had a watch whose alarm sounded every hour with a beep, beep, beep! During a freshman class at th e beginning of the year, the alarm went off, and Father proceeded to talk to the watch: Hello? . . . Yes, Mr. Born- horst . . . You want me to send so-and-so down to the office . . . o.k. fine. The student stood up and began to walk out the door. He turned around with a red face realizing that he had been the subject of an infamous Tremblay joke. Some students may get the idea that Father Tremblay ' s class was all fun and games. Freshmen in his Bible study class and seniors in Social Ethics, however, agreed that Father Tremblay ' s unusual teaching tech- niques helped them to better under- stand the material. Whether you were a babble-sister or toad you ' ll never forget the experiences of Father Tremblay ' s class. ACADEMICS 191
