Oun, GauH ' lelosi . BROTHER ALEXIUS JOSEPH, C.F.X. Brother Alexius in his silent determined manner, succeeds in always getting what he is seeking. Given to many nervous mannerisms and a constant flow of dry humor, he quickly dispels any feeling of tension there may be the class. His caustic wit rather than being disliked, is eagerly awaited by the class. Possessing a thorough knowledge of French and Latin, he is an excellent teacher. Although he is a severe marker, the boys realize that they truly earned the marks they receive. As moderator of the Herald Spelling Bee contestants, he has greatly aided the boys. Since his arrival our spellers have shown great improvement. Proof of this has been shown in the work of Sophomore George Doherty and Senior William Sawyer who spelled themselves through the semi-finals only to lose out in the finals at Fanieul Hall.

typ. a Hit • • • This is Brother Nelson ' s first year at M. C. He arrived here last fall from St. X ' s in Louisville Kentucky. He readily adapted himself to M. C. and the spirit which prevails throughout the length and breadth of M. C. His experience with and training of boys has erased the gap usually existing between a new teacher and new pupils. Brother has been given the responsibility of the ' country day school ' . Brother is a true fan of M. C. following the team in victory and defeat and also has been seen frequently at the dances in Mary Hall collecting the money at the door. He teaches English, French and Latin, besides his other activities, Brother also found time to coach the J. V. Basketball team to a very successful season.

MR. FRANK HILL Mr. Hill, one of our new lay teachers, by his quiet infectious laugh has succeeded in quickly winning the friendship and co-operation of all his pupils. A graduate of Boston College, he comes to us after having spent three years in military service,. Two of these were spent with the Fifth Army in Europe. Both the fact that he is a recent graduate of Boston College and the fact that he served for ten months as an .Army instructor enables him to easily win the confidence of the boys he deals with. Helping him on his journey from North Andover each day is a Studebaker which has frequently proven unreliable. Completely natural at all times, he could frequently be found, during the Fall, lolling about the club house, talking and joking with the boys. Quite an athlete in his own right, his assistance has proven invaluable to Mr. Fannon as a line coach of the Junior Varsity football team. Under his supervision, the first J.V. baseball team has also been added to the many extracurricular activities now existing at Malden Catholic.
