Where Do We Go? Where do we go from here? wos o common question for Islonders with o few hours to spore. Some options were within walking distance. The new $050 mil. City Center completed in 1980 wos o favorite attraction. The 80 shops kept everyone well dressed, entertained ond nourished (?). while the skyways kept everyone mobile and worm in the below zero weather. An 8 block walk to the Metrodome could have been to see the Vikings, Twins or Gophers win a gome or ro earn money. Many of the school's clubs earned money distributing odvertisments outside the Dome. Who said moking money wosn'r fun? For the more studious o trip ro the Public Library wos common. Bur sooner or later everyone ended up there to do the lost minute” assignment given three weeks before. In another direction a trek to Northeast Minneapolis would take one to Sr. Anthony Main, a former warehouse. Renovated in 1977 it is filled with different shops ond eateries. Its new ice rink wos a plus for those who enjoyed cold weather. 8 Feorure

He served os principal of many high schools including De La Salle of Chicago and St. Paul Cretin. He also served os President of Sr. Mary's College and provincial of the Christian Brother's Winona pronounce. Brother said. I've enjoyed all rhe places equally as I got to know the students and people and enjoyed the challenge of giving a stronger Corholic education. Asked why he took the job ot De he responded, I had completed seven years or Cretin and had prepared an ossisronr principal and when visited by the search committee from De, I felt I wos in a position to try to continue rhe tradition of Christian Brothers leadership.” Br. Bosil hos been said to be mainly responsible for turning rhe school around. He feels that De strengthened its atmosphere and its curriculum its designed to prepare students for future Christian leadership. He feels De should continue working on its Catholic Image, its atmosphere of caring, and academic challenge. Financial viability, recruitment of new students (particularly as tuirion increases), and increasing teacher solories are also important future goals. Brother is going to take a sab-borical year for continued study, prayer and personal renewol. After this he would like to return as o counselor or teacher of a few periods of religion. Mr. Steve Roth, development office director said, Brother's work will continue to show dividends for decodes to come. His leadership has been blessed with many human traits, and tempered by the Holy Spirit. We shall never be able to fully show ourgrotirude. 10 Feorure
