Editor's note: The following is a press release. CM’s seventh- and eighth-graders battled with foils, rapiers and Elizabethan language last Wednesday night in a spring performance of Shakespeare’s classics. The play, directed by local theater guru Ross MacDonald, brought life to Shakespeare's comedies and tragedies, with talented students playing many roles in a selection of more than 15 famous scenes.

Is referring to our beloved neighborhood as Westie or West Roxbury a matter of class, age, or old vs. new schools?
Westie or West Roxbury? What do you call our beloved Boston neighborhood? Our hamlet with a Bellevue Hill view of the metropolis skyscrapers? I've heard it called both, Westie and West Roxbury, and I wasn't sure what really is appropriate. Afterall, I didn't grow up in the area, so I asked some local voices, some West Roxbury lifers, an elected official or two, and some expert outsiders. Is it 'Westie, kid!' I'm looking at you, Catholic Memorial Knights! What do you say, students headed to BLS, BLA and any other school? Is calling it Westie a youth thing, and us old folks don't understand the Westie kids today? I started with West Roxbury native Michelle Hughes Benfer, who happens to be Senior Regional Publisher of New England for Patch …

West Roxbury's Bartley Regan secures two points as BC High takes Frozen Fenway game, 4-0.
There isn't much the Catholic Memorial hockey program hasn't done in its storied history. After Saturday afternoon's game, the team can cross one of those rare new experiences off its to-do list, having played archrival BC High outdoors at Fenway Park. Though the Knights fell 4-0, the experience resonated with the players and the fans. "We were all hyped to play here," said CM senior captain Jared Beckwith. "It obviously didn't come out in our favor, but we were all excited. It was a great day." Early on, it looked like the game may have lived up to the hype for the Knights; CM dominated play in the scoreless first period, outshooting the Eagles 12-3. BC High alternate captain and West Roxbury resident Bartley Regan, however, changed the…

Knights end their season 7-2 as four captains played their final games.
Catholic Memorial's much-hyped 2011 football season came to a sombering conclusion Thanksgiving morning as BC High shut down the high-powered Knights offense, claiming the Catholic Conference championship with a 13-0 win. Though scoring was at a premium in the 50th annual rivalry game, the Eagles (8-3, 4-0) controlled the game offensively, running 53 plays to CM's 30. That disparity in possession led to CM head coach Alex Campea's daring but controversial fourth quarter decision to attempt to convert on fourth-and-two on the Knights' own 22-yard line while trailing 6-0. Senior quarterback AJ Doyle's keeper was stuffed like a turkey by a strong BC High defensive line, giving the Eagles possession well within striking distance. Seven plays …
