Keep their fresh,
smooth lines after a
lot of hard going. And
their smartness and
easy fit are a cool wel-
come change from
your everyday clothes.
Perfectly washable, of
course, and really out-
standing values at . . .
Date set for Prep Baccalau-
reate and commencement exer-
cises is June 1, the Rev. John
Lane, CSC, principal of prepar-
atory school, announced this
week.
Baccalaureate sermon will be
delivered at 9 o’clock Mass Sun-
day by the Rev. Walter F. Golo-
tka, S.M.„ president of St. Mary’s
University.
Commencement oration will be
given by Mr. Tarlton of Corpus
Christi Sunday afternoon in Ab-
bey Theatre. Father Lane will
also address seniors and their
parents and will present diplo-
mas at the exercise.
Diplomas will be given Philip
Joram, Ralph Ross, James Mer-
edith, Vance Plauche, Carmen
Yanero, Jake Baldwin, and
Wooten Young. “If they pass
their finals,” Father Lane added.
To Joram went the gold medal
for winning the Latin orations.
Contest was held in Abbey Thea-
tre Monday night.
Valedictorian and salutatorian
of the ’41 graduating class have
not yet been named.
Want a picture painted? How about a room or maybe a fence?
Ray Brock, school painter, can take care of you.
Many students are fooled by the white overalls and painter
cap and are unaware of the landscapes and other fine work painted
by this versatile brush wielder.
Brock studied with Charles ❖-------------------------------
Bishop of Colorado Springs,
Colo., and John Greene of Den-
ver. Hundreds of pictures are
the result of years of training
under these two tutors.
On the school’s time, Brock
decorates the halls and rooms.
Most recent task is the synthetic
graining of woodwork and doors
in Holy Cross. But after hours, I
he paints for pleasure.
Landscapes and scenes are the
only subjects Brock depicts.. He
admits, too, a particular fondest
for “buckeyes” . . . paintings
completed within twenty or
thirty minutes. A buckeye ar-
tist paints rapidly if not always
expertly and artfully.
Hr admits a weakness for the
softer, pastel colors. Using them,
he feels, lends realism and vivid-
ness to the most commonplace
subject.
Latest work, a Texan mission,
Brock has given to the school.
When it is framed, it will hang
in the office of the Registrar.

Almost $3000 in money
pledges rolled into the coffers of
the Gym Drive Fund this week.
Latest contribution of $50.00
came Tuesday from Mr. and Mrs,
E. A. Halden, parents of prep-
sters Bill and Dick Halden of
Austin. Another friend, who pre-
fers to remain nameless, con-
tributed a check for $250.00,
while another promises
amounting to over $2000.00.
Generous too have been the
alumni, reports the Rev. Thomas
P. Jones, CSC, drive chairman.
Almost a quarter of individuals
contributing are listed among
former students. Recent alumni
gathered in San Antonio pledged
support and contributed plenti-
fully.
Though yet a long way from
their stipulated $50,000 goal,
students this week beamed bouy-
antly over the possibility of see-
ing ground broken for the new
structure before they return
home for summer.
Building was slated to begin
early in June. If contributions
continue with the pace of the
past week, construction likely
will begin on schedule.
“There’S romance in a uni-
form” any high school girl will
tell you. This week the Alum-
ni Association discovered the
same thing.
Among the numerous invita-
tions sent to graduates for Alum-
ni Day, May 31, was one for El-
lery Gross, ’38, army air corps
instructor at Hamilton Field,
Calif.
Monday the invitation return-
ed from Greenville, Gross’ home
town, with this notation by his
father: “Somewhere in the Brit-
ish Isles . . . official military
observer of the R.A.F.”
Cash and medal prizes for nine
outstanding students this week
were made public by the Rev.
William Molony, CSC, director
of studies. Awards will be con-
ferred at the Commencement ex-
ercises June 1.
