St. Stanislaus Pier Rec Hall Infirmary Building Dining Hall SSC Campus Dormitory, Gym, Classrooms, and Administration Building. Dormitory DEDICATION After thirty-four years of service as a Brother of the Sacred Heart and twelve years at St. Stanislaus, the first edition of the Reflection is dedicated to Brother Loyola Mattingly for his many years of service. Brother entered the Brothers of the Sacred Heart on September 10, 1934. He received a B.S. degree in Social Studies at Spring Hill College. He first came to St. Stanislaus in 1948 and stayed until 1951. He returned in 1959 and has been here since. While at St. Stanislaus, Brother has taught a variety of subjects including: Typing, Latin I and II, French I and II, English, U.S. History, Plane Geometry, Trigonometry, and Solid Geometry. After school hours Brother can be found somewhere on campus. Either riding hi tractor or busy breaking up cement in a nearby field. All in all he has played a great part in the life of St. Stanislaus preparing stu¬ dents for college and the world which we are preparing to enter. Which is the great¬ est tribute anyone can make. ■ ' ■ T ' vi- mam FACULTY Classes, paper grading, lesson planning, make-up tests, faculty meetings - the Brothers, Priests, and lay teachers have a hectic day. Many double as club sponsors and other moder¬ ators. Such busy work demands relaxation, which ranges from decorating a Christmas tree to a lengthy game of Ping-pong. They also attend professional meetings and summer college ses¬ sions to improve instruction methods. The Brothers of the Sacred Heart, the Priests of the Society of the Divine Word and the lay teachers aie more than educators, everyone dis¬ covers that they are warm individuals with an amazing sense of humor and definite personali¬ ties, who help make St. Stanislaus what it is.

Ring-g-g ... the morning bell re¬ sounds and everyone lines up with “eager” anticipation of what the day will bring. Class¬ es start with the famous expression, “Take out a half sheet of paper,” telling that there is a quiz. With this the usual day begins. In this daily ritual the classroom is the laboratory; the teachers, the guides; and the inquisitiveness of the student, his own inspira¬ tion. It is this profound inquisitiveness that leads all to seek additional knowledge through outside reading and study, and to explore the “Why ' s” behind principles. The student recog¬ nizes that his limited information is small in comparison to the vastness of man’s accumu¬ lated knowledge. 12-A CLASS OFFICERS are - Edwin Stanton (Vice-Pres), Duane Bertucci (Pres.), Mat Ames (Sec.) and Bertin Chevis - (Treas.). 1 12-B CLASS OFFICERS are - Tommy Berner (Treas.), William Carrere (Sec.), Lester Bouch- on (Vice-Pres.) and Weldon Frommeyer - (Pres.).

SPORTS As a moth is drawn to a candle’s flame, so is the multitude of spirit-filled fans drawn to St. Stanislaus’ athletic events. Arrayed in different buttons and ribbons, students, teach¬ ers - everyone - flock to cheer the Rock-A- Chaws to victory. For the freshmen there is the thrill of the first kickoff, the first basket, the first base hit; for the seniors, knowledge that these are the last few games. Yelling and screaming, everyone is on the edge of his seat. As the game unfolds, tense moments of play add fervor to the fans. Seconds tick by - 5 4...,3...,2...,1..., and it’s all over, the shouting, swarming crowd empties the stands. Whether the team came through with a sparkling victory or fell in disastrous defeat, the very spirit of the sport will be remembered in future times by both players and fans.

The “spirit of enthusiasm 1 caught on the first of school, reached a climatic point at homecoming, and with the blasting bo oster of “Go! Go! ’ eagerly raced on for the next ac¬ tivity. On every front, the Rock-a-Chaws met the best comptition in the area. Not satisfied with just enthusiasm, the Rocks always brought along talent too, and as often as not, they walked with some top honors. In this way, the school has emerged as a “power school - and that just can’t be done without the “spirit of enthusi¬ asm.
