The position offered me free room and board in return for living in the campus dormitory. At that time, Prep had approximately 120 resident students. After serving as Prefect for two years, I became the Housemaster, member of the faculty and eventually the Dean of Students. In looking back at my years at Prep I can state that it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. It was an honor to know a number of outstanding Jesuits - Thomas Dugan, James Byrne, David Sauter, Henry Lavin, and many more. In addition, I was surrounded by a wonderful faculty and staff. Hoya Saxa!PS Since the campus was surrounded by a 9 hole golf course - not a bad place to live and save up for my first home in Kensington, Maryland. Show less
