MGUNT CARMEL IDEALS HE moulding of sound character, so well begun by the sisters in the grade schools, con- tinues three-fold under the Carmelites. By co- operation and companionship in the classroom, the Fathers encourage the desire for knowl- edge. The boys feel at ease before Qur Lady of Mount Carmel, to whom they can confide their problems and beg her intercession with her Divine Son. Physical training under expert guidance, where the student is tempered by defeat and proven by victory, develops bodily strength and good sportsmanship. Thus, by striving continually toward the perfection of the lntellectual Spiritual and Physical aspects of a boy's growth into manhood, Mount Carmel hopes to send him out into the world a well rounded man, prepared for life with its successes and failures, and qualified to take his place in society.

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' refec- tory, a school cafeteria, and a library, besides accommodating the offices of the Little Flower Society For location environment and accessibility Mt Carmel is ideally situated The school build ing faces east on Dante Avenue, at Sixty fourth Street On the north is the Carmellte Monastery and on the south St Cyril s Parish Rectory To the south IS a district almost exclusively residential and yet a moment s walk in a northerly direction will bring one to the shop ping section of Woodlawn The Electrlfied lllinols 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 Whitlng The Chicago Surface Lines cars are also within a block of the school offering transportation to and from all directions the Elevated Lines a Rev -lull'-ll MCT!!
