Freshmen.  There is a reason for this class distinction.  This is not meant to be a derogatory term or used to berate them, but to identify them as fresh, new, young men, ready to take on one of the greatest tasks that young men can take on; being Men For Others.  This may be a hard pill to swallow for any...
https://vimeo.com/166803596 Pine trees. Bike tires. Aliens. Talking Dogs and Cats. An open fire. An occupied SUV. A White Elephant. A preoccupied girl. All the elements of the culmination of the Jesuit Stage and Film year, The Second Annual Jesuit Film Festival. The 2016 Jesuit Film Festival took place on May 13 in the Jesuit Lecture Hall, hosting a huge turnout of kids...
"CHAAAAAAAAARGE!" cried Theodore Roosevelt as he stormed up the notorious San Juan Hill with his band of Rough Riders during the Spanish-American War.

The exhausted student releases a sigh, dragging his hands from the keyboard and mouse across the desk, each hand gliding unevenly and at different intervals across the mahogany surface, drenched in sweat. Pulled over the edge of the wooden desktop, his hands fall to his thighs,...
Comedy.  Whoever controls this, controls the world.  Harnessing the power to make people laugh as well as reduce them to tears, the act of crafting true comedic art is only possessed by a select few. Appropriately, the outstanding writing, acting and directing in the 2016 One Acts exhibited some of this beautiful comedic art from the heart of Jesuit...
The smell of gingerbread cookies, the absurd amount of ugly holiday sweaters, the hugs with distant family members you haven't seen since the Fourth of July; these can only mean one thing:  It's Christmas time!  This means it's also time for both the annual Jesuit Christmas Concert and the annual Ursuline Christmas Concert! On Thursday night, December 10th, starting promptly at 7:00...
