- . . - .,T, . S BROTHER DOLAN GIVES some special help to three of his Latin students. They are James Paris, Werner Parthe and Thomas Smith-all of 1-44. The Brothers were always available for extra help, if needed. Some students received help reluctantly when the zealous teachers kept them after school. Mr. McGill has conducted the Rice Glee Club for seven years. He also teaches music at LaSalle Military Academy in Long Island. Brother Morkan, a nine-year faculty member, is the moderator of the Apostleship of Prayer and the Freshman Track coach. Mr. Murphy attended Manhattan College and is now pursuing M.A. studies at St. John's University. He joined the faculty last September. - All of the Brothers attended Irish Christian Brothers' schools. Four, in tact, are former students of Rice. Five attended Power Memorial and four are graduates of Leo High School in Chicago. The others came to know the Brothers at Sacred Heart, Cardinal Hayes, Blessed Sacrament, Butte Central and Iona Prep. The Brothers at Rice seem to inspire vocations to the Brotherhood. At present, almost one-sixth of the Brothers in the American Province are 'Former Ricemen. They are stationed in virtually every Brothers' school in the U. S., Canada, the West Indies and Africa. MR.
