Loyola Academy 2008 - Enroll in Dance Classes

I'm quite sure Father John Patrick Beall is looking down at his old school and saying to himself, "What in the hell is going on there?"

Yes, it's true you can now take Dance classes for academic credit at Loyola Academy, aka Wilmette Prep.

The thought of dance being taught at the OLD and REAL LOYOLA ACADEMY would have been absurd. But, in today's world of sensitivity and academic Marxism, little Johnny and Susie Loyola have to be catered to as if they were guests in a five star hotel.

Okay, I know what you're thinking...John O'Hara is just making this all up. Sorry, I wish I was. This is straight from the Loyola website.

"Dance Company B introduces students to the art of choreography and performance. Students create and perform their own works while learning and developing skills in movement choreography. Students are introduced to the technical aspects of creating a performance, this includes but is not limited to: music, lighting, costumes, programs, and budget."

Stay tuned folks, this story can't be told in just one posting.

AMDG,

John

Question of the Week - WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE LOYOLA WALK?

Whatever happened to the Loyola Walk? We all remember walking the 15 grueling miles while being harangued by faculty and coaches who ordered us to press on at all costs. It was Loyola's version of the Bataan Death March, while all in good fun to raise money for those nebulous and ubiquitous missions somewhere in the Jesuit world.

Too bad current day Ramblers can't experience this autumn right-of-passage.

Then again, think of the potential lawsuits when little Johnny or Susie complains of bunions, blisters, sprained ankles and hanging toenails.

More Pictures Coming Soon

Within the next few weeks...

LARIP is a constant work in progress.

Current Day Rambler Sounds Off

Thanks for adding a comment and sorry you never had the opportunity to experience the old Loyola buddy.

Hey, man. I go to Loyola Academy currently. I am fed up with the liberal status quo. I completely agree with your article, but the problem is so much deeper. They are practically preaching liberation theology.

Comments from Unhappy Ramblers

Great stuff and fond memories of the old Loyola...

Just happened to come across this blog. I am a 1978 grad of LA and agree that co-education was the worst thing to happen to LA. I have begun to read some or your posts and I had no idea things were this bad. I wondered why so many of my classmates were not donating to LA -now I know. I am living out West (MT) so I am out of the loop. Billy Murray was a good friend and was my cousin Andy's roommate at Regis College in Denver.

You had a list of some of the famous sayings of Fr. Burrell and other Jesuit/taching faculty

Fr. Burrell - "I know what you do - you give a girl a Butterfinger (candy bar) and take her in the bushes thats what you do

"Don't sit in your room masturbating all day"

We had a black classmate (Leon who was a good friend of mine prior to attendng LA). Fr. would tell him "son God gave you special tendons in your ankles so that you can jump higher and run faster than the rest of us" O foucrse Leon wanted to curl up in a ball and die.

I recall the "how do you want me to kick you ass" from Mr. Kingsbury. I also recall that when he would talk about his weekend with his "girlfriend" that this would elict guffaws from all of us and would cause him to get very pissed off.

I recall Mr. Schurz coming in hung over repeatedly for Spanish class and smoking in the classreoom during class (filterless Camels if I recall corretly). Think of the lawsuits if that happened today. I also recall him coldcocking a mouthy classmate who was copletely out of line.

I recall being slammed against the lockers by Father Bell for doing something stupid

I remember JUG

I remember Coach Monforti and his pathological fear of germs. I also recall him asking me when I was going to get my should length hair cut. When I replied "I don't know" he walked to his desk, grabbed some scissors and told me point blank "I do"

I recall the yellow Speedos that Coach Stelnicki made us wear in the 50 degree water - also the windows were opened in the pool area in the dead of winter when it was -20 out.

I remember the hellish heat and humidity of the locker rooms as well and the ever present sweat/stench

I remember the smoking fence along the Edens Highway

I remember the dances in the gym and the great local bands that performed that later became national/international acts.

Rest in peace old LA

Milt Rosenberg on the Radicalization of the American Educational System

Listen up Loyola - oh sorry, I mean Wilmette Prep, Milt Rosenberg is talking about you.

May 5, 2008:
Milt talks with Sol Stern of the City Journal, Ed Lasky of the American Thinker, and Herb Walberg of the Hoover Institute, about the attempted radicalization of the education system. Milt and his guests also discuss Bill Ayers, who has been at the forefront of the radicalization effort. (5/5/2008)

Sorry for the lengthy absence. The one-man staff of LARIP (me, John O'Hara) has returned from summer break, to provide more information about the PC take-over of Loyola Academy and America's schools in general.

The Rise and Fall of Frank Ward

A great article about the legendary Coach Frank Ward who was run out of Lake Forest Country Day School over twenty years ago by a clique of whining, sniveling PC parents who didn't like his tough discipline and Vince Lombardi style.

More on Mr. Ward later...
