Brother I. Elzeur Brother Lawrence David Brother Bernard Brother Patrick Brother Iulius Edgal BROTHER I. ELZEAR, who was the first director of the school, established it on a sound basis and was responsible for many of the school organizations which are still in existence. ln 1933, BROTHER LAWRENCE DAVID succeeded Brother Elzear and remained here until 1939. During those two years a steady expansion of the school's facilities was main- tained. Several high awards and recognitions were garnered by the debating club and the school publications. In l939, BROTHER BERNARD relieved Brother David and continued the expansion program begun by him. BROTHER PATRlCK in l942 took over the guidance of the Dragons and during his admin- istration St. George was admitted into the Na- tional Honor Society. The school also received nationwide attention through the medium of its outstanding football team, which captured the national championship. Three years later in l945, BROTHER IULIUS EDGAR began a new chapter in St. George history. During his term the en- rollment grew out of proportion to the facilities of the school. Consequently, under Brother lulius' direction a Brothers' Residence was con- structed, thus giving the students more room. Brothers' Residence. From foundation to dedication.

Perhaps all these, plus those honors des- tined to come its way, were due directly to the fine directors with whom this school has been blessed. Brother I. Elzear was the first of the six and was succeeded by Brother Lawrence David who took the school through the perilous depression days. Brother Ber- nard replaced Brother David in 1939 and in 1942 Brother Patrick took his place. In 1945 Brother Iulius took over the guidance of the school, and from this time until the present the school has continued to grow until it is now at its capacity. In 1933, even during the last year of the disastrous depression, the graduating class numbered 88, and the faculty 18. Eighteen years later, a capacity senior class of 266 graduates and 43 faculty members were recorded in the school rec- ords. One development, directly due to Brother Iulius and his successful expansion program, was the construction of a new Brothers' residence, directly south of the school. The home was formally opened in 1950. It is indeed difficult to say what the for- tunes of this institution may be in the future but one thing is certain: future students, teachers, and alumni have a history behind them which might be well nigh impossible to surpass.
