Proudly We Speak Your Name: Forty-Four Years at Little Rock Catholic High School

In April 2009 alumni and friends of Catholic High School for Boys will gather to toast and roast a favorite of the school s legendary faculty, Michael Moran, the author of Proudly We Speak Your Name. Only a stoic could complete a reading without a teary-eyed moment or two and many belly laughs. Faculty idiosyncrasies are recalled in this memoir, as are student antics. If it can happen within the walls of an all-boys high school, the author has probably seen it in his forty-one years of teaching. And he has probably reported on it in this book, which was written during his first year of retirement. While the spirit is often light, Moran s book ends with a stirring tribute to the man who, though departed, still epitomizes the spirit of the place, the man whose name is now given to the school s street, Father George Tribou. Readers will leave Moran s account glad for the experience of following in his (remembered) footsteps."
