r I 04 Slver nnwersarcy Rey: Rohert I. Tttcker. O.P., IIS. flflfifl-l955j UI nas horn in Nlt. tlletnens. Nlichigan. on .Xugust Ili, ISEI3 atnl received iny early education in St. NIary's School in that tity. I attended the Catholic' l'niyersity of .Xtnerica in Washington, IMI., graduating with the degret' ol Ilathelor of Science in IEUIT. I inunediately entered the l'nited States Ariny' and after serying twenty inonths in Ifrantt' was honoralyly' discharged as Sergeant Nlaior of the 2nd General Headquarters Battalion of the Nlilitary l'olice florps. .Xfter three years in the foreign st-ryiee of one of the ntajor oil cornyzanies. I returned to this country atnl taught Ilescriptiye tkeoinetry for one year at I'royidence College. l'royidence, R.I. I was pro- fessed as a tneinher of the Order of I'reaehers at Sonierset. Ohio. on .Xugust Ifi. l92l. .Xfter studying I'hilosophy at St. Rose I'riory. Springfield. ky.. and at the Ilotninican Hottse of Studies. Washington. DIZ.. I was ordained in Washington on june lti. l930. hy' .Xrchhishop Nlichael Curley of Baltimore. Nld, I spent sotne tnonths in parish work at St. lIoininic's Clhttrch. Detroit. Nlich., and was assigned to I-'enwick High School in August. lllfll. During tny twenty-four years at Ifenwick. I haye had in tny' classes of' physics. lnechanical drawing. geotn- etry. and religion. ahout eighteenshundred and fifty' of I enwick's some three-thousand graduates. I hare noticed no particular change in the stttdents as the years went hy. except. perhaps a sort of restlessness and lack of in- quisitiyeness in recent years. due to the general indecision present in the world today. Basically. the stttdents are tlte saute. I haye yet to find any' originality in cribs or ponies - they are alluost eXat't duplicates of those of forty years ago. Perhaps the funniest incident. to ine at least, of tny' years at Fenwick was after the fire in the Faculty House in lfllrl, when I was wrongly accused of cotning down the firetnen's Iadtler in tny' hare feet and clad ill pajamas and a derhy' hat. 'I'he fire. of cottrse. was not fttnny as three of the Fathers were seriously' hurned. I freely adtnit I was in tny hare feet and paiznnas: httt the derhy I vehemently' deny. It is true that a short tiine after the fire. wearing Ifather Walter's overcoat and shoes. I returned to iny rootn to find ottt if I had any' clothes left. and finding tny' derhy' intact. placed it on tny' head to saye c'arry'ing it and returned to the Woods house. httt I did not wear it down the ladder. I think that the City' Championship Ifoothall Caine in Soldier's Field in IEISG, played to a tie hefore Il0.fJ0fl people. was the tnost outstanding event in I-'enwiek's history' so far, hecause it tnade the natne of the y'oung school wellfknown not only in Chicagoland proper. httt also in far-outlying districts. Iiyeryone, there- after. knew where and what 'Ifenwiek' was. Besides. it proyed a great rnorale-huilder for the school spirits of the stttdeuts. for it showed what a young and growing institution with high ideals could ZICCUIIIIJIISII in a cotnpara- tiyely short titne. I hope that the reputation of Fenwick for its spirit of fair play' in sports and its lofty' idealistn in stholarship may never he sullied in the years to come. I-I
