Fr. Robt. Hopkins Fr. Ed Shaw A large number of graduates appeared in June of 1954. . . 92, exactly the number of freshmen students the school had when it opened in l930. This was also the last year that Father Nolan would be at Cathedral. He had spent twenty- two years at the school. Over the many years he had spent in Springfield. he had been the quiet but rock-solid influence in the lives of his fellow Viatorians. For the last six years of his stay he had also served as pastor of Sherman. Flamboyant manner- isms, a unique teacher and main- stay of countless pep rallies, Father Nolan would definitely be missed at Cathedral.
