These memories are still clear in my mind from the first year I attended St. Emma. This was a typical Sunday schedule which was typed up each evening by the Commandant Of Cadets, Father Figaro. On our last visit on May 18th 2013, I never, in a million years, thought I would be in the archive room bedding down for the night. Before I went to sleep, I recalled all the building locations, the blacktop and other sites on the ground and the surrounding areas.
Now everything is gone. Morrell Hall, Claver Hall, Ag building the Chapel, the gym, the new and old boys clubs, rifle range, EVERYTHING except the Big House and Band Stand. I remembered how we were instructed to write home to mom each and every Sunday. The archive room, formerly known as Father Figaros office, was the place where the daily hustle and bustle occurredreports, visits by parents, staff meetings, the Officer of the Day reports as well as individual cadets concerns. I must admit the only time I did not want to be in this office was when it was to go before The Military Board. However, I am glad to have had the experience of working out of that office for the years I attended the school. Once I fell asleep, I didnt have visions of sugar plums dancing in my head but it was more like-hearing the band and seeing the cadets marching in formation. Sweet dreams!!!
