Igrdiiyli fi: , -QV f THEIR PREDECESSORS THE spirit of a school is transmitted by older students who set the tone of school life for younger pupils. We were fortunate to have inherited from the first two classes of St. Sebastian's a unique affection for the School and a magnificent loyalty to fellow students. It is a rare day in- deed when we do not have occasion to greet an alumnus returing to visit St. Sebastian's. As we watch the School's alumni forging ahead so successfully in the colleges they are attending and as we find them so imbued with the prin- ciples that How from Fortitude, we resolve to emulate them in bringing prestige to our beloved Alma Mater. at -ff, 4 ll Q W fb!

The Alpine Club at North Conway on their Second Annual Expedition, February, 1947 THE ALPINE CLUB One of the most popular Winter avocations at St. Sebastian's is ski-ing and for five years now devotees of the sport have banded themselves together in an organization appropriately called The Alpine Club. Originally, its three chart- er members were Fr. Keating, Bob Higgins and Bob Flynn, both of the Class of '46, but now it numbers more than thirty enthusiasts who take advantage of the proximity of the Commonwealth Country Club to get themselves into all sorts of postures, predicaments and situations as they zoom down its slopes. Full member- ship in this ski-ing fraternity is contingent upon the candidate's success in jump- ing the brook which crosses the C.C.C.'s fairways, but a desire to ski is enough to admit a Sebastianite to associate membership. For the past two years, the group has gone on a northern expedition during the February holidays and set up headquarters in the vicinity of North Conway. There, under the supervision of Fr. Keating, the lovers of the frozen surface think nothing of topping off six hours of ski'ing with four hours of skating. Such hardi- hood deserves to be well rewarded and most definitely it is, with socials that while away the evening hours. In short, the life of an Alpine member is a happy one, even though he is prone to sneer at the local hills after returning from the upper reaches of Cranmore or Tuckerman's Ravine. Each one of the Alpiners has made some definite contribution to this healthy extra-curricular activity, whether it be a facility in making quips at the expense of ski-ing dowagers or a tendency to literary effusions that are most appreciated when read publicly. Everyone is welcome in the Alpine Club as long as he knows enough Latin to join in the Club prayer: Oremus pro nive.
