hree noteworthy institutions have resided on Crow Hill, in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, the most famous Tbeing Brooklyn Preparatory High School . Previously, King’s County Penitentiary occupied the area bounded by Rogers and Nostrand Avenues and by Carroll and Montgomery Streets; today, Medgar Evers College, of City University of New York, shares the city block with St . Ignatius Church and Loyola Hall . Like Manhattan, Crow Hill was purchased from American Indians with the permission of Governor Francis Lovelace; however, this time, it was the Indians who swindled the colonists . In 1607 Peter Elmohar and Job and Shamese Makaquiquas, did not hold a title to the land which they sold for one hundred guilders, three long barrel rifles, four match coats, a half tun of strong beer and two half tuns of ordinary beer . They were Canarsie or Sachem Indians from Staten Island who had merely traveled to Brooklyn to hunt .

Tuition was $25 00. a quarter plus a $25 .00 entrance fee . For twenty years both college and prep students shared quarters, and faculty lived across the street at 1125 Carroll, Jogues’ House . Loyola Hall, facing Rogers Avenue, was built in 1915; and St . Ignatius Church was erected adjacent to it . A Prep grad, Felix P . McKenna, of the New York architect firm McKenna & Irving, designed and supervised the erection of the new faculty-house and high school wing extending toward Crown Street which were completed in 1929 . The final expansion in 1959 added more class- rooms, a cafeteria, gymnasium-auditorium and pool facing Crown Street .

7 The History of Brooklyn PrepAratory

The Prep has had three different legal names . The BC on the glass of the front door harkens back to the beginning when Prep was known as Brooklyn College and Preparatory School . In 1913 the college department ceased and the name was legally changed to Brooklyn Academy, although everyone referred to the school as Brooklyn Prep . Then in 1927, the ‘Academy’ title was dropped and ‘Brooklyn Preparatory School’ became the official title . The saga of Brooklyn Prep’s closing began in 1968 when a consolidation program was announced at a New York Provincial meet- ing of the Society of Jesus . Crippled by debt and a lack of vocations, the Society could no longer support nine high schools . Various options were proposed, such as having the Brooklyn Diocese take over operations at

The City University system was expanding due to its new open- enrollment policy . The sale for $2 .75 million occurred in July, 1971 with the stipulation that the Prep would vacate the building by the following year . This phase-out program allowed the class of 1972 to graduate and the class of 1973 was given the option to accelerate and to graduate in 1972 . During its peak years the Prep numbered close to 1,000 students and 50 faculty members . More than 490 teachers and 9,300 graduates passed through the doors at 1150 Carroll Street from 1908 through 1972 .

9 The History of Brooklyn PrepAratory

Today, the Brooklyn Prep Alumni Associa- tion keeps the memory of the Prep alive at their Annual Mass and Spring Dinner and on www .brooklynprep .org . The Association, through dues, contributions and special events, such as the Golf Classic, designates scholarship money for students in need of financial assistance to attend one of New York’s remaining Jesuit High Schools .

10 Rev. John D. Alexander, S.J.

Fr . Jack is the reason we are celebrating the success of the Brooklyn Prep Alumni Asso- ciation on the occasion of the Prep’s 100th birthday . He served in a dedicated manner for 30 years, personally replying to all dona- tions and correspondence . This thoughtful, personal touch is the single most important reason for our success . Fr . Jack was born July 23, 1923 in Jersey City; he graduated from St . Peter’s Prep . He was ordained June 19, 1954 by Cardinal Spellman at Fordham University . From 1956-1967 he taught English, Latin and Religion at Brooklyn Prep and served as Headmaster from 1967 until the school closed in 1972 . Fr . Jack taught Religion at Xavier High School from 1973-1983 and became Moderator of the Brooklyn Prep Alumni Association in 1978 . He currently is in residence at Fordham University . Words are inadequate to express our thanks to this Jesuit who only thinks of others .

The Body and The Legacy

35 Brooklyn Prep alumni association

When the decision was made to close Brooklyn Preparatory High School it is fair to assume the question surfaced, “What will happen to the Alumni as a “Body” and the instilled Jesuit Tradition that had become an essential part of each of us?”

The Body as the organization that would provide The response to that question led to the the forum for alumni events that normally formation of the Brooklyn Preparatory emanate from a school . Alumni Association (the Body) . This organization would enable all graduates Each of us would be invited to become a to maintain a fraternal brotherhood of member of the Brooklyn Prep Alumni Asso- fellow classmates, friends, and teachers, ciation . A brotherhood was created whereby intertwined with our Jesuit Tradition .

which will follow; legal language, insurance, and finally the future passing of the “Trust” management are all being examined . These tasks are by no means small . They will require careful, tedious work, and patience to complete properly . One important point to make at this time: this scholarship program is our contribution to the young students participating in the George Badolato, George Paterno and Fr.

Conclusion If we reflect on these thoughts it is rather simple and plain to understand . A group of students, teachers, and priests shared a common tradition of values and education offered by the Society of Jesus . Brooklyn Preparatory Alumni Association was formed as a structure in which the “BODY” of members could maintain its identity and purpose for being in the long term . The “Body” developed a spirit of giving in the form of the Scholarship Fund . It was the result of the values and traditions learned John Sexton and Charlie Winans during our school years .
