LETTERS TO THE EDITORS Congratulations to the student body and the faculty of Power Memorial Academy on their Silver Jubilee. May the spirit and dedication of their motto - Pro Christo Regeu - permeate the hearts and souls of its children as it did the very beings of its saintly founders. REv. BRO. A. A. LOFTUS PROVINCIAL Power students seemed to have a rugged affection for their teachers and their school. Sincerity marked the Power lads when I was associated with them, in that, one always knew where one stood with them, be it friendly or on the outs, REV. BRO. F' A. DEADY PROVINCIAL BURSAR My happy memories of Power Memorial may be summarized as follows: The enthusiasm of the principal, faculty and students, the devoted services of the Paulist Fathers, the do or diei' spirit of the Basketball teams, the gloriously-cultured Power Band, the dignity of the school assemblies, the number of students who make a daily visit to the Brothers' Chapel, the friendly relations between teachers and taught, the camaraderie of the annual boat ride, the services of the students in the teaching of the urelease timei' classes, a vast number of men who avail themselves of the opportunity for weekly confession at the school, the splendid decorum mani- fested at the annual high retreat, etc. Definitely, POWER IS A GREAT SCHOOL. REv. BRO. PATRICK A. CLEESON PRINCIPAL, IONA PREP My association with Power Memorial Academy 'will always remain a highlight in my career as a Christian Brother. The friendly and personal atmosphere which pervaded academic and social activities, a tribute to the stude-nts and the faculty, resulted in an enviable scho- lastic achievement and engendered numerous vocations to the priesthood and the religious life. Power has been singularly blessed, and its proud record bears testimony to the zeal and vision of its beloved Founder, Rev. Bro. E' F' Ryan' REV. BRO. IAIXIES H. VAUCHAN DEAN, IONA COLLEGE It is not remarkable that I look back with pleasure on my days at Power and feel a tinge of pride in its success. The day will dawn, please Cod, when Colden jubilee celebrations will take place. May all who are now pupils or who may one day be pupils fervently tender the spirit which has grown up in the first twenty-five years or so that long after school days are over there will remain a niche in every Old Boy's heart which will remain a shrine of memory for Power Memorial Academy and the Irish Chnsuan Brothers' REV. BRO. W. A. IIENNEssEx' In its first twenty-Five years serving the interests of Christ in New York City as a Catholic High School, Power Memorial has achieved impressive results, graduating more than three thousand students who are today in the Priesthood, Religious Orders, and in all walks of life. To have had even a humble share in this achievement will always be for me a treasured memory, recalling the friendship and cooperation of those whom it was my pleasure to know, and my privilege to instruct. REV. BRO. VV. T. PERRY It is impossible to' describe in a few words the great- ness that is Power Memorial Academy and the Cod- fearing Brothers who founded it and have given it is place in the sun for the past twenty-five years. I hope in someusmall way that I have contributed to this greatness during thirteen of these years. Few realize the affection that glows in the heart of anyone who has ever been a member of the Power faculty for its traditions, its stu- dents, and its past. I am glad that I have been a small part Of it and that, in this present era, I have helped to keep Cod in our classrooms. MR. DANIEL Roon, REGISTRAR Having been a student of the old Power and a teacher in the new Power Memorial, I naturally have deep im- pressions resulting from these associations. Foremost in my mind stands the recollection of the many and Hnc religions vocations that have had their source in Power. Then the almost spectacular material development which has kept pace with the spiritual and patriotic growth in the student body' PrFv. BRO. I.
