Go Canisius...Beat Joes!
I went to Joes..still nice to see some development down there at the Daisy's Delaware Ave Loc. tho..:)
another jealous Kenmore Candy. Your gonna look great in your "Canisius Dad" sweater one day Galaxy. :D
This part of the school was always so awkward. You couldn't walk down the halls in this building if there was someone walking toward you. If it was Father K, forget about...
LOL!!!!!! Father K was a man to be reckoned with. True, this building was very awkward. It was a totally cheap solution to house the Jesuits back in the day. It never fit in and made a worse solution to house the business end of the school. This whole remodel is quite exciting. "We will pledge ourselves to victory for Canisius Blue and Gold!"
good thing their new athletic complex was built in............ Depew??????
icecreamsub: You are right, Canisius should have knocked down 800 West Ferry and built the field there, or on one of the other large open fields available within walking distance of the school.
More information on the buildings are available at www.canisiushigh.org for anyone who is interested. Both are significant upgrades for the campus and will improve the neighborhood as well as the facilities at the school.
And go easy on Fr. K.... he's probably reading this.
At one time, maybe three or four years ago, I heard Canisius was in discussion to purchase Community Action Organization's facility on Harvard. CAO wanted to move into a more efficient building; Canisius coveted their land for athletic fields (would have required acquisition and demo of some houses as well on Harvard and Oxford). This is a very short distance from their campus. I hope they continue this pursuit some day soon and sell off the Lancaster land (although perhaps the Lancaster site is a contender for an additional school location sometime down the road. I don't know).
buffaloed - "We will pledge ourselves to CONQUER for Canisius Blue and Gold" The recent revision to "Victory" seems to PC and does really fit the meter of the line (2 syllables, not 3).
My classmate and opera star Valarian Ruminsky correctly sings the Fight Song this is video, available on YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVQMjZzKNaM
It is great to see Canisius enhancing its facilities. This, along with Holy Angels recent project and the continued work at the Canisius College, is quite exciting for an alumnus of the both the High School and College (my wife is an alumae of HAA and we're parents of 2 girls presently attending that school).
Geo3- I apologize for messing up the lyrics. I heard the song sung only once, and it was in my Freshman year, at the famed performance of your dear friend, Val. Please do not use the term 'Star' so loosely... he is man who performs opera..the end.
