Seniom FOUR years aao we entered St. Pats It was a day that we feared. We had always heard that the Christian Brothers made men out of boys, and we were afraid to become men. lt was a bia switch from the nuns to the Brothers, Now, at the end of four years, we want to see how uiuvh we can recall from our hiah school days. As freshies, we met a lot of Brothers. Those who tauaht the freshmen were Brothers Le- ander, Fabian, Edmund, Norbert, Roland, Leo, and lohn C. Mr, Weaver was the aym in- structor. We were briefed on the rules of the school no smokina, wear a tie to class, no eatina in the ayrn, and others The Brothers told us that we were to keep up the school :spirit that had started decades aao. We were told how wonderful the basketball team was when it took the City Championship a few years back. Runnina faster than the upper- classmen was a must, or we would have to carry their books, There were l57 of us, so we outnumbered any other department. With some wonderful boxiuti exhibitions, St. Pats manaaed to aet its first boxina trophy, with Brother Edmund actina as coach. Brother lohn Victorian was the hero of all the boys when he celebrated his 50th year azz a Christian Brother, and we were aiven a holiday. The principal was Brother I. Mark, and Brother Norbert was assistant principal, That, in short, is a history of one year that we shall probably never foraet. The fall of l95U made all of us happy, We were now sophomores. There was someone under us. They were a bunch of 'punks', while we were all uit . Brother l, Mark remained as principal, but Brother Leander took over Brother Norberts place. Mr, Dick Triptow replaced lim Weaver, who went to an unmentionable school. Brother Henry came to St, Pats in the capacity of treasurer and bookkeeper, Only three of our freshman teachers were promoted to the sopho- more year with us . . . Brothers Fabian, Roland, and Leo, The new teachers were Brothers P5 Wai V ,L CUHBENT l'fVlfNTS C'l.AIQf1 1:1-euis mont iriterestina to Ch- ruond, Vfalnh, anfl llotwranich, r i.1.:ibly iie to one of Biwtht-r Michael .1 witty and antuii- ali- .aervationgs ,
