BROTHER AQUINAS, C. F. X. Dynamic, forceful Brother Aquinas has been around the campus for the past six years and in that time he has endeared himself to every student of the school. His capable teaching of Latin and English has been the foundation for the later success of his students. Peppy, witty and friendly the boys have followed him as did the old Greeks follow Socrates. Brother has been active in all fields of endeavor. His first two hockey teams won titles. His junior varsity teams in football were the foundations for many of our championship clubs in later years. His young baseballers learned all their fundamentals from him. At the weekly dances he has been assisted by both Brother Evan and Brother Walstan and it was his cheery, Good Evening” you heard when first you entered the building. In his classes Brother recently made an innovation of class dramatics to help boys in vocal expression and it has proved a great success. During the winter months Brother may be seen on his long walks which he says sharpens his appetite for a hearty evening meal. His pet peeve is prompting in class.

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.

Just to say that Brother Cyril is the athletic director here at school is to say that he is a very busy man. To him must go the credit for the improved football card of the past three years. He was the prime mover three years ago in the founding of the hockey league and it has run along smoothly since that time. In all sports his presence has been felt. The rebuilding of the basketball situation here must be credited to him as he saw something had to be done about this sad state of affairs. In classroom work Brother teaches Algebra and Geometry and his quiet efficient manner in class gets the same results that it does in all his other duties on or off the athletic field.
