'S+----N., ACTIVITY AND DEMUCIIATIC LIFE The more energetic flocked to the gym on free week end nights, Saturday and Sunday after noons for fast half-court games. Warmer weather enticed our prepsters outside for pick-up softball games, extra practice on the golf stroke or lust plain resting in the sun. A few were always seen camera in hand, clicking away at unexpected times and then dis- appearing into the dark room for developing, contacting, and printing. Others preferred to tinker in the radio shop, to try their carpentry in the hobby shop, or to pry into the mechanical operations of a car en- gine. Future wizards hounded off to the lab for science projects or peeked through the telescope lenses of the astronomy club. Occasionally they traveled to Lexington to watch athletic alumni perform at the U of K or to Louisville for special shows and entertain- ments For still others the quiet of the library beckoned All in all the keynote was variety By graduation time some of our graduates have been class ofhcers others club officers and a few specially chosen for their qualities of leadership reliance and responsibility have been Senior Counselors. Our graduates have formulated their own designs for club socials, helped Brother Director select the Sunday night movies. They learned to pray, work, and play together as bene- fits a social being. On Saturday and Sunday afternoons they made the short trek to town to take in a movie or to go shopping. Friday or Saturday night found them either iourneying to cheer the Eagles in varsity competition or travel- ing on the Purple and White caravan for movies. Free time found some at the pool table, some at the chess board, and others at their favorite western on TV.

Home permis- sions, hours on and of? campus, visiting, hours of study and rest disciplined our graduates. They learned sell reliance. Guidance-spiritual and in- tellectual-was available to them at all times. Each graduate had to discipline himself every day in three study periods. Sometimes the fifty min- utes in a period seemed terribly long, but most of the time he had enough work to keep him busy. Sometimes he witnessed the dismissal of a harm- ful associate. THE BELL does not have to be rung twice for meals at the Prep. There are few latecomers. Il.l'l'Y The graduates learned good reading habits and did their best to prevent dust from gathering on the library shelves. When ill they had the kind attention of Brother in the inhrmary and the expert care ot the physician. The graduates learned responsibility in taking care of laundry, in budgeting the allowance, and in keeping clothing neat. They shared the re- sponsibility of putting out the school newspaper and year book. They never left the dining room hungry and they slept soundly at the end of the day. W gigs 5: fzitfd-ri . ,. ' .
