CQ cHAMiNAD1-: contracts 5' ': CLAYTON, Missomu J li Q Q9 'Wrou CHAMINADE COLLEGE SEPTEMBER, 1957 NO. 1 Brother Ernst Appointed Principal As the new school year begins, changes in the faculty are always one of the most noticeable features. This year it is particularly so, as Bro- ther Robert Ernst, the registrar, has taken on the added duties of principal. This marks another milestone in Brother Robert's active career. Father Blume, president, will now devote his full attention to the third phase of the building program. Having graduated from St. Peter's High School in St. Charles, Missouri, Brother Robert joined the Society of Mary in 1940 and took his first vows in 1941. Since 1943 he has been engaged in teach- ing in various high schools in the greater St. Louis area, including seven years at St. IVlary's High School, two years at DeAndreis High School, and four years at Chaminade. He also acted as prefect of the Postulants at Maryhurst for one year. While assigned to these appointments, he has also been engaged in numerous extra-curricular ac- tivities, such as moderator of the student councils, bands, yearbooks, school papers, and art clubs, and football coach of the freshmen team at St. Mary's High School. He has also been on the receiving end of a good deal of education, having achieved a Bachelor of Science degree in education from Dayton Uni- versity and studied fine arts and library science at Notre Dame. At present, Brother Ernst is study- ing at Marquette University, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Wl0M FRSHMIV When the present Seniors en- tered Chaminade as Freshmen, it seemed a big place. But now, just a few years later, Chaminade is by far a much bigger and very different place. So many changes have taken place that the 'Cham- inade of yesterday seems a differ- ent school. For one thing, the Fatima Shrine, which now stands behind the main building, was non-existent three years ago. Two years ago the site of the boarders' dormitory was an empty lot and a tennis court, and the Cardboard Cathedral, a white frame church building, then occupied the spot where the faculty residence now stands. And in as short a time as tive months, the interior of Chaminade has changed almost completely, in a great many spots leaving no clue as to what was there before. Yes, Chaminade is changing and, we feel, growing. Of all the advice given to you incoming Freshmen this year, perhaps the simplest and most appropriate would be this: Let Chaminade's rapid growth be an example of what your next four years at Chaminade are really intended to be-years of growt.h: physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual. All the avenues of thxis growth are open to you through your classes and extra- curricular activities. Accept them freely but responsibly, and when your four years at Chaminade are over, you will have achieved four years of GROWTH-in every sense of the word.
