Budweiser Lane

I believe that it was in the fall of 1966. It was a Sunday afternoon, and a bunch of us sophomores were taking a hike along the local streets, led by Brother Eugene. I remember myself, Joe Agrusa, Tom Taylor, Kevin Helrich, Steve Maloney, and others were on this ‘trek’. We’d hiked south on Kemble street, across Rte. 7, and kept going towards Lee. On the way back, Tom noticed a full can of Bud, laying on the side of the road. We were all enthralled by this discovery. He popped the top, to ensure that the can was not tampered with( he spilled a bit in doing so, which torqed us off at him!). We immediately came to the consensus that we had to sample this unexpected blessiing. Brother Eugene took the first draw(for quality control purposes, of course), and then we all had a taste! Wow, what a neat hike! But then, as we approached the Seminary driveway, we saw the student body marching up the road, reciting the rosary. Obviously, we did not realize what the schedule of events entailed for that afternoon. We all offered to carry Brother Eugene up the driveway, saying that he twisted his ankle, as a reason for being late. He refused at first, but halfway considered it, as we got closer to the school. so, we walked up the driveway, as the rest of the school marched down, reciting the Rosary. Brother Eugene went up to Father Krah to give his explanation, and Krah gave him a WITHERING look. we were told to go up to the dorm and change for supper.
