The Class of Nineteen Sixty-Two It was a promising September and the cool days of autumn could not be far away. The hot summer of 1958 was drawing to a close, and with the ending of summer came the opening of another story. It was a story which was to take four years to write and actually would never end; the story of eighty boys coming for the first time to a Catholic boarding school on the Fox River, Marmion Military Academy. Some were timid and afraid, others appeared confident, but even in these there lurked uncertainty and doubt. This was the beginning, the start of a formation, a four year period destined to affect every one of those boys; a time of training, a time of learning, a time of growth. For the most part they came as boys. They matured in body. They matured in soul. They became men. Now they leave. Four years of work, sprinkled lightly with play, lay ahead of these freshmen. They were entering a changing way of life, a way of discipline, a way of control. In this respect the first ' ear was the hard- est. There seemed so much to learn and so little time in wliich to leani it. But all things must pass, and the difficulties did. With the next year came a new set of buildings at Marmion and with the new buildings came new rules, new school policies and new qualities in the Marmion cadets. But the sophomores became juniors tasting for the first time the flavor of authority, which blossomed into full glory in the senior. Marmion, her job finished, now sends out another class, the class of 1962, prepared for unknown eventualities.
