Charlie's most memorable experience while at St. Dunstan's was the final Graduation Ball where he as President of The Student's Union , and his date Irene Burge , led the graduation class in the opening dance at the newly opened gymnasium. For many years, Charlie and Father Austin Bradley were roommates and they shared a study desk. This study desk had a line down the middle of it and any elbow that inadvertently strayed over this line received a vicious karate chop. Father Art Shea remembers Charlie washing and ironing white St. Dunstan's sweaters in his room to make some ready cash. Charlie was always mindful and appreciative of his election to the position of Life President of the Class of 1951.
