Our Tirst Principal “GOING THEREFORE, TEACH YE ALL NATIONS ...” The world mourned the passing of Brother Gilbert, for the world recog¬ nized him as a man of great worth. In the classroom, preparing mind and soul for the duties of Christian life, and on the athletic field, building sturdy temples for the spirit, this servant of God performed well the duties laid down by his vocation. But it was in another place that he received the power to do his great deeds. A follower of Christ, Brother Gilbert constantly sought out the God- Man in His tabernacle home — there to participate in the Great Sacrifice, there to receive the Son, there to spend long vigils imbibing the Divine Life pouring out from the Eucharist. It was from the chapel that Brother went forth to live the life of a Xaverian Brother: to sanctify himself and to pilot youth in safety and in virtue on the road to eternity; it was from the chapel that his soul winged its way to the bosom of the Trinity. As students in a school which had this exemplary religious as its headmas¬ ter, it behooves us to look back upon the task well done by this institution and to carry with us into a cold world some of the Christ-love generated through our lately beloved Brother Gilbert.
