1904 session opened on time.
The era of intensive athletics began under Brother Berchmans in the 1915-16 session. Through some New Orleans friends Brother Berchmans met Forster Com-magere and induced him to take over as full-time coach. During the next 16 years, this man was ably assisted by capable brothers who served athletic directors and trainers of the smaller boys who eventually became varsity stars.
Commagere’s influence upon the students was very great. His outstanding devotion to duty, his practical Catholic life, and example as a Christian gentleman inspired all. Many were the boys he helped over the rugged spots of adolescence.
One of his ablest co-workers was Brother Peter. First assigned here in 1908, he became athletic director in 1912. From that time until he died, his untiring efforts left an indelible impression on everyone who knew him.
Promoted to the Presidency of St. Stanislaus in 1926; Brother Peter made the school known nationally through his famous talks on “Boyology.”
Invitations to speak poured in with uninterrupted regularity throughout the remainder of his life.
It took the hurricane of 1947 to take away most of the energy and activity of this untiring spirit. At the end of the 1948 session, he consented to go to Touro Infirmary in New Orleans for a “check-up.” But nothing that science did could arrest the ravages that disease had made on his rugged constitution.
Brother Peter breathed his last on September 25, 1948, and was buried in the college cemetery at Bay St. Louis.
Brother Alexis was appointed in the summer of 1948 to succeed Brother Peter. He set about at once to complete the plans for the kitchen and dining halls that had been contemplated by Brother Peter.
Ground was broken in October, 1948. It was ready for occupancy in June 1949. The building with all its accessories was erected and furnished at a cost of $285,000. All the kitchen equipment is of stainless steel throughout. The student dining hall can accommo-odate 300, while the faculty section can seat 60.
A guest refectory also is included.
The latest improvement came as a recommendation from the Evaluating Committee of the Sou-
MISSISSIPPI IS FIRST IN FOREST PLAN
Mississippi is first in the na_ tion in the use of agricultural conservation program funds for forest practices. Forests contribute $360 million yearly to the state’s economy and have a potential of over a billion dollars annually1, With better forestry incomes will increase.
SUMMER BEST TIME FOR LIMING
Summer is the best to lime pastues and safest pasture program will be built following a liming program. Most pasture farmers want a mixture of grass and legumes. On some pastures, this will take one ton of lime per acre and on others it will take two tons. The only way to be sure is to take a soils test. Most pasture land has a lot of phosphate in the soil that will be released when lime is applied.
TULANE HOTEL (DESTROYED BY FIRE) WAS ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL POPULAR HOTEL OF PAST CENTURY
Owned and operated by the late Mrs. D. H. Boyle, The Tulane Ho. tel, above, attracted favorable attention to Bay St. Louis as a summer, winter and health resort. It had accommodations for about sixty guests. Mrs. Boyle catered to the commercial trade, to the winter tourist trade and to the family trade that spent their vacation on the Gulf Coast. This family trade was drawn, not only from New Orleans, but from points
throughout Mississippi and Alabama.
The hotel was a first class plant, everything was up-to-date, sanitary plumbing, gas in every room and the best of French cuisine, hot and cold baths, the hotel grounds were attractive and well shaded. The Tulane Hotel was opened the year around. The original hotel was destroyed by fire, but today in its place is the Tulane Apartments operated by Mrs. Charles Genin.
