This looks like a corner shot of the room where the Brorthers studied and preparted classes next to FatherDon/Earl's office on the 2nd floor. [except the rookie brother who had study hall]
All our books were stored in there over the summer. It was Father Don that ordered up to date math books and Father Earl purchased a fantastic English/Literature series.
The most precious book was Father Justen's VERGIL text. It had years of pencil notations [vocabulary help] and told where he would pause for a joke.
One year @ Goshen we had a dog who the Seniors named DIDO!

The altar @ the Lourdes Grotto in my time [62-66], was not used for Mass, however we had May devotions out there for Mary Help of Christians as well as the Corpus Christi procession in June.

The middle room over the main door was Father Adam Saluppo who was ran the library and steady confessor. He was a touch of reality whenever I needed it.
By 1964 this was the Chem/Physics lab (opposite the pool room) alternating on a 2 year cycle. Dave Goris taught Chem. (64/65) Tony Smalldone taught Physics (65/66).
