Carriage House & TAD

Just before they tore down the old carriage house a group of us knocked out the windows with rocks and sure enough the next day Tony Bruder demanded we all stand up, admit our guilt and receive our punishment (TAD)

Father Hudson and Geometry

The moment is timeless, like mathematics itself. Father Hudson took a straight edge and chalk to the blackboard and with expert precision quickly drew a right triangle. And then he began to talk about Pythagoras and the square of the base and the square of the height and he talked about how the sum of these equalled the square of the hypotenuse. He talked about the proofs of the theorem. Then he talked about irrational numbers, when a base of 1 and a height of 1 produce a hypotenuse square of 2, and that raised the question of what is the square root of 2? Father Hudson was a mathematician, in love with his subject, and he was mesmerizing.

The "ring"

how many of you still remember the stories of the ring ….if i recall right …it was said the school was haunted and that there was a hand attached to a ring …and every time the ring left the building ….something bad happened…ie fire…..and the ghost.in the old wing …the room that was locked that no one dare enter…the room where the window blew out and not into the room !!
i would always go home with great stories from school…..my mom always wondered what kind of school she sent me to!!
