DEDICATION The graduates of nineteen hundred forty-six respectfully dedicate their annual to a true friend and sage advisor, Reverend Brother Charles, C.F.X., our principal. Never in later life will we meet one whose whole hearted interest was so centered in us as was that of our leader. Kindly, humorous, friendly and understanding, he was to us a friend more than a director, a guide more than an executive. Malden Catholic owes much to our principal. In nineteen hundred and forty-one, his first year as principal, our school numbered a little less than two hundred. Today its near five hundred enrollment is a restrictive one; lack of space dictates such. Or else, the number might be closer to eight hundred. This, in view of the fact that entrance to M.C. is by examination only. The great spirit of the school may always be traced to the leader. Such is the case here. The close relationship between teacher and student is likewise seen among students. Thus for a small school, we are able to compete scholastically and otherwise with schools three times our size. For next year, Brother Charles’ last at M.C. we wish him continued success. We the class of forty-six will long cherish him and happy days here at the best of schools.
