That was almost five years ago, my how L2 fi .mr ' . tempus fugitl The day was very cloudy The ram was kind enough to stop so as to allow our reign at St. Andrew's to begin. We soon found out that the first act of every seminarian each day was to assist at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. After Mass we assembled in the good old study hall, Qwhich is now but a memoryj. Doctor Nolan soon appeared, and, with that winning smile of his and his kind words of welcome, won an esteemed place in the heart of every student present, not only the veterans , but more especially the new comers. A retreat was conducted on the following day, the purpose of which was to get our minds and souls properly adjusted for the work we were about to take up. Our studies began the next day, it was on that day that the boys of the First Year become men,-at least, that is what we were called for the first time. Even if all of us were not Irish, we, all, at least, were very green. We began our study of Latin, and thought that the dreadful word examination came from the Latin word exam- matus meaning lifeless, 'half dead, Qdue to the condition of astudent after onej. Class Day, Cfor the whole schoolj, came on June 16, and was held at Newport. Thus, our First Year at St. Andrew's ended, a year chuck full of fond memories to the Infantry, Qas we were calledj, of 1925. When we had entered our Second Year, we found out that 'we were only Freshmen. During the year, we met a gentleman by the name of 'flewless Seezeri' with whom we took an extensive jaunt, Qnot by horse backj, through Gaul. During Father Curtin's class one day, we learned from Joe Sullivan that Cobourg was the Capital of Canada. QBy the way, joe was perfect that year, and had a little practice for his later position, this yearj. The time for June exams came, Cwhich could not be helpedj, and we were told that we deserved a little vacation. The following September came-school came-and we came. We met and had another nineamonths session. We received four new members into our class, namely, Albert L. Simonetti, Austin B. Hanna, Arthur E. Ratigan, and Walter V. Sullivan, Ctheir nicknames came laterj. Somehow or other, we seemed to be in the Office all the time that year-but it- was not for misconduct. We had only begun Trig , when our professor, Father Reifer, I 'WL' ' V MA ' A A N11 l A A A A ' A A A UA9QLL?.JlfkQJ9!ADx2ULK.L4!Us.9llLLQQLLLJAUJ ninety-five
