REMINISCENCES 
Some survey reminiscences are worth sharing.  We will add a few as the Reunion Approaches

In 3rd or 4th year, while probably trying to figure out which of Fr. Jabush's choice of  books would be easier that week, or how much I could get away with plagiarizing to complete a bi-weekly "term paper" for Fr. Kelly, I got on the Rte.151 bus at Michigan and Chicago Avenues and sat next to Dan Siwek, who unsurprisingly had his head in a book. I expressed some interest and for the next 1/2-3/4 hour Dan patiently exposed me to Jean Paul Sartre; who he was, what he was saying , and a bit of what it all meant.  I thought, "Wow, this is something Dan doesn't have to know about. What's going on?"  It occurred to me later that knowledge wasn't  simply something to be used to achieve an external objective; it was enough if it caused you to think or changed you, or maybe even if it had no obvious consequence at all.    John Ryan (Q-North)

We were reciting from memory the first few lines of John’s gospel in Fr. Troy’s NT Greek class. Troy had a rule that everyone had to say their name before speaking to him, and he also assigned a student in each class to keep the list of punishments he assigned for breaking his rules. Bernie Gibbons had just finished, and Wilton Gregory was next. Wilt blurted out “Panta di autou egeneto” and Troy bellowed, “Put that man on the list, he didn’t say his name.” Wilton responded, “Yes, I did, Father. My name’s Panta.” So to keep him out of trouble, we had to call him Panta for the rest of senior year. (He’s an archbishop now.)  Brian Leo (Q-South)
