The new Dean of Students,
Mr. Larry Arthur, has a pair of
big shoes to fill. The legacy of
Mr. Hennessey’s reign boasts
banned hoodies and quivering
freshman. Mr. Arthur will be
able to fill the role of disciplinarian.
Former Physical Education
teacher and current JV
Basketball coach, his students
and colleagues all admire and
respect him. He is a man that
is known as strict but fair. One
slight criticism of Mr. Arthur
is his lack of a catch phrase.
We all know
what certain teachers or administrators
will say when they
are on the public address system. Some are famous such as
Mr. Hennessey’s “Thanks for
coming to school today,” while
others are infamous including
Mr. Evan’s “Gooooood Morning
Saint Ignatius.” Nonetheless,
they have become a part
of our everyday school day.
Mr. Arthur has done an excellent
job so far as the Dean of
Students. I talked to a few students
that had him last year.
They had nothing but good
things to say about Mr. Arthur.
One exclaimed, “What a great
guy, he was awesome.” Another
remarked, “He is huge.”
I would have to agree with
both of them. Hearing no complaints
so far, I give Mr. Arthur
an “A”.
