The Tower

I attended Salesian School '59/'60 =8th grade. Fr.Bob Savage was Prefect of Studies. Fr.Adam Saluppo was there (now buried there). Brother Benny, not a sweet heart. It was a good school. The dining hall was in the "mansion" or admin building. I used to read to the students on a PA system there for the first 15 minutes of lunch( Hardy Boys/Tom Swift Jr. etc.), then we were allowed to talk. Study Hall, Jug Slips, Saturday Eve. had TV (usually Bonanza) if you didn't have a Jug Slip to deal with. The slips were given to you if you did something considered "bad conduct." You did time (in the Jug) in study hall, when others could go to recreation/watch TV or whatever. I thought so much of it that I went on to their Junior Seminary at West Haverstraw, N.Y. Eventually I went back home to finish high school in Jersey. Anyway, Salesian was a good school for me. Sad to see it decline. Perhaps it will be reclaimed and go on in another way.....education hopefully.
