BROTHER ALEXIUS JOSEPH, C. F. X. Brother Alexius Joseph whose motto is, Never give up,” follows that motto in his teaching of Latin and French at our school. He has taught at many schools including St. John’s Prep, Mission of Roxbury and in Wheeling, West Virginia. His merry laugh at some statement of an over eager pupil sets the whole class smiling. In the sodality he has taken the place of Brother Evan, the founder, and in his own quiet way has encouraged the organization in its second year. Meetings other than class ones have been out since the fire but Brother has high hopes for one great meeting before the end of the year. Brother is active in many fields but in the scholastic circles is known as one who gets what he is after especially in results in class. The indolent pupil feels uneasy in his class as he knows that he will have to produce or else fail.

Brother Quentin, although new here this year, in going about the school in his quiet yet humorous way has gained the affection of all the students. A brilliant teacher of the sciences, his patience enables him to impart to others the vast amount of knowledge he has collected in the past twenty-eight years of teaching and studying. He immediately took an interest in all the extra-curricular activities marveling at the precision and fight of the football team and encourag¬ ing the cagers to many a victory. He loves sports in all forms and once was an athletic head in West Virginia. His hobbies are varied. His pipe is a faithful companion and books take up many an hour. He confesses a weakness for fiction and an occasional detective story. After so many years in the merry borough of Brooklyn naturally it takes time for me to get used to new weather and faces but I can truth¬ fully say I have enjoyed my first year here immensely,” concludes the quiet amiable friar. BROTHER QUENTIN, C. F. X.

BROTHER AUBERTUS, C. F. X. In the person of Brother Aubertus we see a man admired by all and feared by some. There isn’t a senior who will not remember as well as profit from the man who always demanded strict obedience, and got it. And in years to come only appreciation can come from this fact that the training one receives in his classes is without equal any¬ where else. Brother Aubertus teaches Latin and French here at M. C. and came from Mission High in 1943. Since he has been here his jolly face is well known to all. A loyal rooter of all school functions Brother has trained many boys in the art of speaking in the past three years. His debaters have always been successful and his orators have twice won honors in American Legion contests. Brother likewise helped keep the dances full of pep with his gay repartee and merry wit. He is an essential part of the school and we hope that he is with us for many years to come.
