A. C. J. ISTORY OF SAINT STANISLAUS Saint Stanislaus, among the oldest of Southern Prep schools, was founded at Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, in 1854, by the Brothers of the Sacred Heart. Arriving at the Bay, the Brothers took temporary lodging in the presbytery, and taught classes in the frame building behind Our Lady of the Gulf Church. Saint Stanislaus, the School of Character, was fast earning its reputation when the Civil War forced the discontinuance of the boarding department. Until the end of the war, the day school was maintained at Bay St. Louis while the boarding section was transferred to New Orleans. After the War between the States, various factors impeded the growth of Saint Stanislaus. “Yellow Fever” played havoc with the Bay St. Louis area four times between 1867 and 1905. Three members of the faculty died as a result of the 1870 epidemic. The perennial hurricane season forms another threat to Saint Stanislaus. Four such devastating storms hit the school since 1888. These storms, the latest of which was in 1947, had winds up to 130 miles per hour. While no one at the school has ever been injured by these hurricanes, and despite the fact that the substantial buildi ngs have never been damaged structurally, extensive damages have often been done to the roofs of various buildings and the highly expensive fishing pier has been several times completely de¬ molished. Throughout its more than 100 years of existence, Saint Stanislaus has been blessed with able and wise administrators. A man who guided the school through many crises was Brother Stanislaus. It was during his tenure of office that the enrollment was given its biggest boost. At the turn of the century, Brother Isidore was continuing the work of Brother Stanislaus when in June, 1903, disaster in the form of a great fire struck the shore buildings. Three hours proved enough to level all of them to embers and ashes. Undaunted, the Brothers started work on the new buildings which pres¬ ently face the Gulf. The 1903-1904 session opened on schedule in rented cottages and hastily constructed temporary rooms. The athletic program was intensified under Brother Berchmans during the 1915-1916 session. It was then that Mr. Forster Commagere, as coach, began his sixteen years of influence upon the life and training of the youth of Saint Stanislaus. A great friend and co-worker of Mr. Commagere was Brother Peter, who became president of Saint Stanislaus in 1926. It was he who made the school nationally renowned with his famous talks on “Boyology.” Brother Peter has left an indelible impression on Saint Stanislaus as well as on all those with whom he has come in contact. Under succeeding administrators, who have ably continued the work of their predecessors, the new kitchen and dining hall were erected. A new building, the Centennial Building, is now being planned. i I Bishop of Rome and Vicar of Jesus Christ, Successor of Saint Peter, Prince of the Apostles; Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church, Patriarch of the West, Primate of Italy, Archbishop and Metropolitan of the Roman Province, Sovereign of Vatican City, HIS HOLINESS, POPE PIUS XII n f My dear Brothers, Ametus Cor Jesu! Saint Stanislaus stands in the forefront of our important schools in age, in tradition, and in reputation. It goes back to the days of our venerated Second Founder, Reverend Brother Polycarp. It has preserved the pristine vigor of those early days, and its accomplishments in Catholic education have given it an enviable reputation not only in the South but also in other parts of the United States and the Latin American Republics. It is truly an American school, teaching the fundamental principles of true democracy; respect for the rights of others whether personal or property, the performance of all civic duties, and all those intangibles embraced in the concept of the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. It is also a truly Catholic school, teaching its students the principles of our Holy Faith, and imbuing them with the conscientious practice of the duties which they imply. May the present Faculty and student body live up to the ideals of those who have gone before, and Saint Stanislaus will have no fear for the future. Devotedly in the Sacred Heart, S. C. We, the Class of 1958, are most happy to present to our Parents, the Faculty, the Alumni, our Schoolmates, and the friends of Saint Stanislaus, THE WHITE CAP, our school annual, which depicts the highlights of our senior year at Saint Stanislaus. To the Brothers who helped so generously with their time and advice, to the members of the yearbook staff who were so consistent and persevering in their work of publica¬ tion, and to the advertisers who have made this book possible, we wish to extend our sincere thanks and heartfelt gratitude. We shall cherish this book for many years as a reminder not only of our school days but also as a token of the many friendships that have become part of our lives here at Saint Stanislaus. TABLE The editors of the White Cap take a special pleasure and a distinct pride in dedicating the yearbook of 1958 to Brother Ephrem, prefect of the small boys attending St. Stanislaus. Brother is now celebrating the silver jubilee of his appointment as prefect. Twenty-five years at a single task is considered by many as an enviable record. This is indeed true if such years are dedicated to instilling the love of God into the hearts of children. This dedication is truly Brother Ephrem’s life work. Brother Ephrem possesses to an eminent degree those qualities of heart and soul which tend to make an ideal prefect — vigilance, kindness, sympathy, firmness, and a marvelous self-sacrificing interest in the spiritual and tem¬ poral welfare of his charges. Rare indeed is the young man who, under Brother’s guidance and care, does not develop the basis for a genuine manly character. May the Sacred Heart bless Brother Ephrem very specially during this silver jubilee year and may the wholesome in¬ fluence of his guidance and good example be the privilege and good fortune of our boys for many years to come!

This goal is the harmonious flower- ing of the whole man. St. Stanislaus seeks to instill into youth principles and rules of right living and a stead¬ fast determination to live by them. This enduring will, to live faithfully by these ideals and principles, is the end-product of the training of char¬ acter. BROTHER ROLAND, S.C., Ph.B., M.A. President of St. Stanislaus College It is then the strengthening of the will and the moulding and setting of character that is to be developed through the conformity demanded to school regulations, attention required to detail in all class and home assignments, the restraints imposed by enforced silence, promptness, regularity, respect and obedience. These and other restrictions placed upon our feelings and inclinations shore up the will and fortify character, leaving the student strengthened to live up to the ideals of young Christian manhood. The lack of the formative influence of such training is immediately evident in those young men who have not received it. They grow conceited, self-centered and without control of their emotions and inclinations. It is then to the ideals of character training, goals ever in the forefront throughout the history of St. Stanislaus, to which we dedicated anew our efforts in this our one hundred and fourth session.

Hotel Dieu School of Nursing Resident Nurse To the Graduating Class, Your graduation day marks an¬ other milestone for Saint Stanislaus on the eternal road of Christian education. The hundreds of Brothers and thousands of alumni of Saint Stanislaus who have trod this road before you, await you to be enrolled among their number. However, from now on, the road will be as you yourself make it. Up to now you have had the constant signposts of teachers’ directions and solicitous encouragement; the stop-lights of the good example of your classmates; the detour warnings and caution signs of discipline, incessant but not coer¬ cing. The road was easy to follow, smooth on which to travel. Now, your road of life opens to new avenues, those on which you are to travel are without the signposts, the stop-lights, and the caution warnings of your elementary and secondary school days. The responsibility, henceforth, of your pathway rests on your shoulders; you are in the “driver’s seat.” To continue our metaphor, your life on the road to eternity is “up to you.” Will you reach the goal of eternal happiness? The road may be difficult: that is what the Sacred Heart has promised. But the goal is for him who perseveres to the end. By embodying in yourself the principles inculcated in you by the maxims and example of your teachers, and of your schoolmates, and following them “to the hilt, come hell or high water,” you will be not only enrolled in the list of those who finished at Stanislaus but also among those who have their names engraved in the Sacred Heart. You are “master of your fate, the captain of your soul.” Now what parting words can I say to you? None better than to say, “Keep yourself close to the Sacred Heart and know that He will ever be close to you.” May the dear Lord bless you and keep you.

STANISLAUS Saint Stanislaus, among the oldest of Southern Prep schools, was founded at Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, in 1854, by the Brothers of the Sacred Heart. Arriving at the Bay, the Brothers took temporary lodging in the presbytery, and taught classes in the frame building behind Our Lady of the Gulf Church. Saint Stanislaus, the School of Character, was fast earning its reputation when the Civil War forced the discontinuance of the boarding department. Until the end of the war, the day school was maintained at Bay St. Louis while the boa rding section was transferred to New Orleans. After the War between the States, various factors impeded the growth of Saint Stanislaus. “Yellow Fever” played havoc with the Bay St. Louis area four times between 1867 and 1905. Three members of the faculty died as a result of the 1870 epidemic. The perennial hurricane season forms another threat to Saint Stanislaus. Four such devastating storms hit the school since 1888. These storms, the latest of which was in 1947, had winds up to 130 miles per hour. While no one at the school has ever been injured by these hurricanes, and despite the fact that the substantial buildings have never been damaged structurally, extensive damages have often been done to the roofs of various buildings and the highly expensive fishing pier has been several times completely de¬ molished. Throughout its more than 100 years of existence, Saint Stanislaus has been blessed with able and wise administrators. A man who guided the school through many crises was Brother Stanislaus. It was during his tenure of office that the enrollment was given its biggest boost. At the turn of the century, Brother Isidore was continuing the work of Brother Stanislaus when in June, 1903, disaster in the form of a great fire struck the shore buildings. Three hours proved enough to level all of them to embers and ashes. Undaunted, the Brothers started work on the new buildings which pres¬ ently face the Gulf. The 1903-1904 session opened on schedule in rented cottages and hastily constructed temporary rooms. The athletic program was intensified under Brother Berchmans during the 1915-1916 session. It was then that Mr. Forster Commagere, as coach, began his sixteen years of influence upon the life and training of the youth of Saint Stanislaus. A great friend and co-worker of Mr. Commagere was Brother Peter, who became president of Saint Stanislaus in 1926. It was he who made the school nationally renowned with his famous talks on “Boyology.” Brother Peter has left an indelible impression on Saint Stanislaus as well as on all those with whom he has come in contact. Under succeeding administrators, who have ably continued the work of their predecessors, the new kitchen and dining hall were erected. A new building, the Centennial Building, is now being planned.
