inStRUCtORS stimulate scholarship Winning of scholarships, gaining of high honors in college work, and obtaining successful positions are all characteristics of Qe La Salle graduates. These accomplishments must be attributed to the outstanding ability of their instructors. Fifty years ago when the school was opened there was an enrollment of fifty boys and a faculty of three Brothers. At present the enrollment is nearly eight hundred and the faculty numbers twenty-five. In the picture at the upper left are seen Brother Joseph. Brother Gerard, Brother Christopher, Brother Patrick, and (standing) Brother Gabriel and Brother Philip. This is Brother Joseph’s first year at DE. He teaches sophomore religion and English and freshman algebra. Brother Gerard teaches senior religion and junior English. He is also moderator of the Blessed Bcnildus Vocation Club, Contact at DE, and the dramatics club. Brother Christopher, in his first year at DE, schools the freshmen in religion and English. Brother Patrick teaches sophomore English, and the fine diction of the seniors is due to the efforts of Brother Gabriel, who is also moderator of the junior class. Brother Philip, also new to DE this year, is an instructor of freshmen religion and English.
