SE lllll SLASS HlSl0llY In January l956 230 very fortunate boys successfully com pleted an entrance examunatuon admuttung them to a well known mulutary hugh school Although not fully aware of ut at the tume we were takung one of the most umportant steps of our luves For un September of that year we gave ourselves wholly to the Chrustuan Brothers These deducated men would be our guudes for the next four years Now at the end of our hugh school days we look back on our accomplushments both as a class and as unduvuduals Thus us the record of some of those that stand out most vuvudly un our munds Our Freshman Year When we arruved that September we were umpressed by the newness of the school by our fellow students and by those amaz ung Brothers Gradually we became settled only to be rudely awakened by those furst demeruts and that long walk that goes exactly nowhere And then agaun we were pleasantly delughted by that furst A We cannot now say that studues were duffucult they were just so dufferent and untruguung Only a freshman dreams of the days when he wull be able to speak Latun luke Brother or when he wull be able to arrange those x s and y s un the proper manner or even the days when he wull see the prophecues of a certaun World Hustory Teacher come true Englush Latun algebra world hustory they came we passed Sports became an umportant part of our luves We felt that we were at least partly responsuble for our great vuctory over our fruendly ruvals and for the truly great football season we enuoyed At the end of the year we had a great sense of accom plushment and understandable prude We had leaped the furst hurdle and the next lay ahead lt was our year of duscovery and plannung Our Sophomore Year A sophomore thunks he knows everythung Well maybe not everythung but we sure thought we dud Now old tumers were ready for almost anythung Many members of our class became untegral parts of our excellent extra currucular program We contrubuted members to all the athletuc teams and our own Bee football team had an undefeated season Many unnovatuons occurred thus year wuth the startung of the Student Bank and wuth a Sophomore Class goung on a closed retreat for the furst tume The value of thus retreat was soon seen un the overall attutude of the Class We wull always be grateful to the Brothers for makung thus opportunuty avaulable to us How to have fun an class we trued hard to fund out how to do ut thus year Our football class ll mean bualogy wuth Mr Kungl was most unformatuve l can stull dussect a frog ln our study of plane geometry Brother Muchael showed us all the trucks an educator needs to get a pount across We shall never forget hus board of educatuon hus trusty 36 Lead by our almost forgotten mascot wuth cherry bombs and wuld antucs we began the attack to break un one who was rela tuvely new to the Brothers and the teachung professuon un general the tumud recruut Brother J Charles We loved our soph Englush We lost teacher thus whole

cagers handed them defeat by the uoyful margun of l7 pounts Next Lafayette fell prey wuth a decusuve loss The next contest was not only for the rught to contunue on the road to the State Champuonshup but also to avenge our prevuaus losses to our fruendly ruvals the Jr Bulls We handed them defeat un an unspured game marked by terrufuc cheerung to the tune of 69 48 Funally ut was the tume to really show our abulutues under fure and ut proved not too much trouble to tame the Joplun Eagles as we clupped theur wungs un a 76 63 vuctory Our Junuor Class had the honor of havung three of our class mates on the furst strung State Champuonshup team ln addutlon one of them was chosen MVP un the tournament Our most educatuonal class Thus tutle surely belongs to no other than Brother Charles Physucs Class What other groupung uncludes polutucal scuence what to talk about on a date lnaturally a slude rule and Archamedes pruncuplel how to make a good pony the art of constructung proyects posters
