Due to decreasing enrollment and increasing financial constraints, Archbishop Aquila and³ the OŠce of Catholic Schools announced the deci- sion to close St. Louis school late last year. The legacy celebration served as a bittersweet reminder of the role St. Louis has played in the local Catholic community, and was filled with great memories for people who have been involved with the school in some way since they opened their doors in 1929. St. Louis legacy celebration a bittersweet reminiscence of the school's rich history Michael Carroll, St. Louis basket- ball coach from 1959-1964, looks at a photo of his basketball team in 1961.¥Carroll laughed as he reflected upon his favorite memo- ries of the school. "There are too many great memories to choose from, but I do remember Mon- signor [Bernard] Cullen, always coming down stairs telling us to be quiet, because our changing room was underneath the parish, and they could hear us during Mass or confession," he said.
