In This Issue
The lessons of Lent pervade the campus, along with springtime activities and some 50th anniversary news. Head of School’s Letter, page 3.
Priory athletes delivered a banner year! At all grade levels and across many sports, teams made great strides and took a bumper crop of championships. Athletics at a Glance, pages 4-5.
Come prepared to enjoy the mercado, the mariachis and the margaritas at this year’s elegant auction celebration, Cinco de Mayo! It’s good fun with good friends, and it supports an excellent cause. While helping the Priory’s budget, you may even help your own. Auction 2007, pages 6, 7 and 8.
The Priory’s juniors see past the surface of extreme poverty and into
some vibrant, hopeful and surprising aspects of San Francisco’s Tenderloin District. They also probed their own and their class’s reactions to challenges similar to those in the Tenderloin. Pages 9-10
Nick Piper is producing Desperate Housewives, Lost, and other TV serials; David and Michael Bower’s weddings were last summer, Barna Gacs is caring for teeth, and several alumni families are caring for new babies and young children. Alumni News and Notes, pages 11-12.
Not many years ago, the students’ slogan was “Priory—where everybody knows your name.” That personal identity is part of our Benedictine ethos. With that same wish to recognize each individual who has contributed to the Golden Jubilee Campaign Phase 1 construction projects, they are all listed and applauded. Golden Jubilee Campaign Report, pages 13, 14 and 15.
