Dedication Sitting behind his wide, old-fashioned desk, Brother Firmin has been friend and confidant to many at St. Stanislaus for the past seventeen years. Coming to the Col¬ lege as bursar in 1952 he has, with patience and diligence, kept the house’s accounts. He has seen the school progress and grad¬ uate into the world the fruit of his hopes and prayers. Rising in the morning at three, Brother Firmin starts his day by making coffee for the Brothers and can be found in his office by 7:15. Perched behind his window, amid papers and pencils, he dispenses the neces¬ sities of life at a boarding school. With the alert eye of a businessman and the kindly humor of a good religious, he holds sway over his domain. Often, Brother can be heard saying to the little ones who fre¬ quent his office, “No monkey business now!” as they tinker with the fascinating objects on his desk. And in the evening, one can ' t but notice Brother Firmin in the chapel saying his Office. It is to this man whose stability and warmth seem part of the very walls of St. Stanislaus that the Staff wishes to dedicate its work. 2
