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.

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 Walstan teaches Latin, French and English. His unsur¬ passable humor in class has been a great asset in bringing the students around to a high point of interest. Brother Walstan helped start the monthly paper and is directly cred¬ ited for publishing the first annual at M. C. Likewise he started the school orchestra two years ago. Today, the Hi-Liters are considered tops by the student body. Last year he began to build in basketball and this season had the satisfaction of seeing his team come up in the league to fourth place and likewise defeat such powerhouses as St. John’s Prep, Keith Academy and Mission High, the latter for the first time in the history. With a coach named for next year, Brother hopes to teach the younger boys the fundamentals and leave the worries of the varsity to Mr. Walter Perry, late of the Boston Goodwins and U. S. Coast Guard.
