Brother entered the congregation in 1896, but in 1883, in Richmond, Virginia, Brother Walter, C. F.X., just eight years old, decided that he was going to become a Xaverian. He claims that this decision was due to the example of his former teacher, Brother Peter, C. F. X. He was first assigned to Lawrence, Massachusetts, where he remained for nine years. During Brother's fourth year, he was made superior of the community. After this, Brother was sent to Mount Saint Joseph College, now our high school, where he taught Philosophy, Religion, and History. After five years, Brother was sent to Leonard Hall in Leonardtown, Maryland, as superior. Here, Brother Walter, with the help of Brother Gerard, C. F. X. , established the first summer camp for boys in Maryland. Following this assignment, Brother was stationed at St. Johns, Danvers, Massachusetts. After two years, Brother was sent back to Leonard Hall, where he was made Director of Agriculture, a popular science before rural America became urbanized. Other assignments followed at Old Point Comfort College, Virginia, now a suburb of Newport News, Leonard Hall and Richmond, Virginia. Brother has been assigned to the Mount since 1931. Even though Brother has retired from teaching, he is still very active after 70 years. Brother is the librarian for the Brothers. He repairs 01d editions, catalogues all incoming books, and keeps the Brothers informed of all new additions. Because of his many years, Brother Walter has observed many changes in the world. Close to his heart has been the growth of the Xaverian order. During his 70 years, he has seen the Brothers multiply so that there are now two provinces, with each province maintaining missionaries in foreign countries. His father taught him the value of education, and he has seen education grow into one of the necessities of life. Many things have changed since BrotherWalter became a Xaverian, and they will continue to do so, but one thing that cannot change is the fact that Brother Walter has spent 70 happy years as a Xaverian, and the event will be celebrated September 17, 1966, with a mass at 11:00 A. M., followed by dinner in the cafeteria. ABOVE - Brother makes a visit to chapel during Brother's retreat. BOTTOM LEFT - Cataloging books for the library.
