MOUNT CARMEL HIGH SCHOOL From the time when the Order of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel was founded by Elias, down through the ages. brown and white garbed priests have exemplihed service. The history of Carmel has been a story of unselfish service - service to God. service to the state. service to youth. Under the motherly guidance of the Queen of Carmel the Carmelites have increased in number, expanded the field of their activity, and are aggressive in their program for the guidance and education of youth. In Mt. Carmel High School, these same Carmel- ites have continued the work of Catholic education. They have instructed boys in both the spiritual and the material-they have moulded men with true Christian character and ideals. This they have accomplished by brotherly counsel and exemplary conduct. The idea of a Catholic educational institution in Woodlawn was conceived in 1902, and carried out in the founding of St. Cyril's College. lt became evident, however, in l924, that the school had out- grown its old quarters - necessitating an expansion program which resulted in the present Mt. Carmel. the name being changed at that time, in honor of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, the special patroness of the school and of the Order. The old building is still being used for a chapel, a priests' refectory. a school cafeteria. and a library, besides accommodat- ing the ofhces of the Little Flower Society. For location, environment. and accessibility. Mt. Carmel is ideally situated. The school building faces east on Dante Avenue, at Sixty-fourth Street. On the north is the Carmelite Monastery and on the south. St. Cyril's Parish Rectory. To the south is a district almost exclusively resif dential, and yet a moments walk in a northerly direction will bring one to the shopping section of Woodlau'n. The Electrified Illinois Central Suburban Service has a station within a block of the school. and provides fast convenient service for the entire South Shore district. as well as for South Chicago, Pullman, Blue Island. Gary, East Chicago, and Wlaiting. The Chicago Surface Lines cars are also within a block of the school, offering transportation to and from all directions: the Elevated Lines, a scant two blocks from the school, reach practically every locality north and west. The Chicago Motor Coach Company's route through Jackson Park serves as still another means of conveyance. Thus we see that every facility is at hand for the safe and speedy trans- portation of the student. SCHOOL COUNCIL Seated Rev. Berthold Malone, O. Carm, Prefect of Studies Rev. Theodore Hatton, O.
