Thoughts...John Schork

Some of my rambling remembrances from 1968-72 (posted August 2, 2003)

our intramural sports skills at Bellarmine, and the competition...
cooking hot breakfasts for the community, and personal creativity therein...
Fr. Blaise's projects: candles, guinea pigs, birds, flowers, etc....
student (mis)behavior as chronicled by "Le Grincheau (?)"...
walking/running to classes at Bellarmine, across the golf course, in the rain and snow...
daily "offices" that tried to teach us sanitation, organization, community life, creativity...
monthly home visits with local CP seminarians, food and drink and family...
the pets we nurtured over the years: C.P., G.D., parakeets, etc...
afternoon prayer/Vespers in the chapel, naptime as well...
struggling with your personal budget, what a few dollars would buy...
celebrations of the Eucharist in the chapel; singing "The Mountain Mass"...
the hearty souls who slept outside on the 3rd floor back porch...
"Gaudeamus" in the barn...special feasts...
rock music working its way into recreation...
student formation afternoons...
the radio program, "Feeling Groovy"...
the cool of the basement on those hot and humid Louisville summer days...
the "bat alert" when there was a bat flying the corridors...
the call bells...
