One of Mount Michael’s unique events is the Student-Faculty Dinner, which started around 6:00pm. The sophomore class dressed in white shirts and black ties, served as waiters. On the menu for the night were grilled steak, twice baked potatoes, beans, dinner rolls, and for dessert, Boston Cream Pie. Under Mr. Cormier’s direction, the sophomore class had the unique experience of setting the tables, serving the food to freshmen, juniors, seniors, Mount Michael faculty members and the monastic community. Afterwards the sophomores were responsible for cleaning up the dishes and the dining room.

     According to Fr. Richard, this extraordinary occasion has a history that goes way back to the 1950’s. It was originally called the Student-Faculty Christmas Dinner, and it was the responsibility of the sophomore class just as it is now. The Student-Faculty Dinner, according to Fr. Richard has always provided an excellent chance for faculty and students to get together and share their Christmas spirit. This wonderful feast, however, used to include a lot more things, such as singing Christmas carols and a gift exchange. For the Student-Faculty Dinner, the menu is always special and people dress in a coat and tie. Sophomore Eric Carlin said, “I think it was a great success and everyone enjoyed it.” According to Han-bin Im, also a sophomore, “It was a great experience for the sophomores and great time for everyone else.”
