Ahh Memories of the Old Loyola

We know these kinds of things don't happen anymore at the New PC Loyola, aka Wilmette Prep.

If they did, Johnny or Susie would be on speed dial to their lawyer.

A friend of mine who graduated from Loyola back in 1974, added some memories for all of us...

On a lighter note, how about my brother’s indoctrination to Loyola/Fr Beall. On the first day of class his freshman year he and a friend were walking down the hall talking, the next thing he knew he was bouncing off the lockers and looked over to see his friend bouncing of the lockers on the other side of the hall, then Fr Beall reminded them “ Gentlemen, we do not talk in the halls of Loyola Academy”

Or how can one forget gym class with coach Spoo, who made you do “ dress right dress” so he could inspect the class to make sure everyone was in correct and complete gym uniforms. One guy next to me, Mike Byrne, had a smile on his face, Spoo said “ Mr Byrne, what is so funny?” to which Byrne replied “nothing coach”, the next thing you saw was Spoo’s hand come out of nowhere and hit Byrne on the side of his head sending him crashing into the folded up bleachers in the gym.

Ahhh, memories
