Y Y Fourteen The school buildings and the athletic facilities offered to us at Chaminade enabled us to develop ourselves freely in the three phases of our education, viz., intellectual, phys- ical, and social. School building, faculty residence, and stadium occupied a five-acre plot on the corner of Jackson Avenue and Emory Road. The school was spacious and orderly. Classrooms were large, airy, and well-lighted, Plenty of blackboard space allowed for chalk drills in many of our subjects. A public- address system operating in each classroom from the office kept us in touch with the wishes of our Principal, The large library on the second floor invited us frequently to reading and reference seeking. Science laboratories supplied ample opportunities to become more intimately acquainted with the principles of chemistry and physics. During lunch periods, a moderrily equipped cafeteria catered to our appetites. In each of these departments our Catholic spirit was recalled by the crucifix that hung from the wall, and to which we di- rected our attention during prayer at the beginning of each important division of the daily time-table. In the convertible auditorium, we assisted at religious exercises, the Mass and Communion of First Friday, the An- nual Retreat at Easter time, and the Father and Son Com- munion and Breakfast in the spring. This same gym-converted auditorium served for our sport activities during the winter, at the same time that it was also our rendezvous during the physical training courses twice a week. Outdoor sports were played in the stadium ad- jacent to the school. A well-equipped locker room provided us with athletic accommodation. Our extra-curricular activities were held either in one of the classrooms or in a small room destined for some special purpose, as the dark room, the print shop, etc. No matter what the demands, we readily received the proper attention. The facilities were near at hand, and the faculty cooperated generously. In the following pages, we review in pictures the setting of our activities. Crimson and Gold
