BROTHER MICHAEL, C. F. X. A gentleman carrying a black bag and a sheaf of papers under his arm is not the local revenuer but a very personable character, Brother Michael who can easily be called a man of letters. He not only is the moderator of the Hi-Lite which is a task worthy of his talents, but he likewise finds the time to take charge of the Cadets and to produce the annual minstrel show. His excellent leadership in extra-curricular activ¬ ities is only second to his apt ability as a teacher. Truly a scholarly gentleman he teaches the social studies and English, filling each period with enjoyment by his interesting sideline talks on important issues. Not to be outdone in quick wit he has the genius of putting forth dry, subtle humor on many occasions. His Umm-mh’s and Ah-h’s and his self-styled philosophy will long be remembered by the boys with whom he has been associated.

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.

BROTHER ANTON, C. F. X. Brother Anton is highly respected by the student body of Malden Catholic. His major is math and he has been of tremendous aid to the students in this branch of knowledge, now and during the war years, when his boys captured all sorts of honors in this field. Among his subjects is Algebra, Trig, Physics, Plane and Solid Geometry. In his addition to his teaching he is the vocational director of the school. It is known generally that his man to man talks have left a definite mark on all boys who have come under his sphere of influence. He has been a great help to the seniors in their choice of a vocation for later life. His keen insight has usually come to our aid in this vital field. He has been coaching basketball here for the past six years and his latest junior varsity was known to be the delight of his heart for this year he had some material with which to work. During Brother Charles’ illness Brother Anton filled his shoes as well as any man might try to perform that great task.
