History

The college newspaper was founded in 1933, although it was then called The Propeller. The Propeller was published until 1936, when the publication was discontinued for lack of funds. This lasted until 1947. During World War II the school was being used to train pilots. When a newspaper was published again in 1947, it did not have an official name.

In October 1947, however, the revived paper was named The Shield. This name lasted until 1966. The Shield was named after the founder, Bishop Bernard J. Sheil.[ citation needed ] The school paper shortened its name to Shield in 1966, and published the paper in a magazine format. In 1969, the newspaper went through another name change, this time calling itself Nexus. This name lasted from 1969 to 1977.

On January 31, 1978, the first volume of The Flyer was published. That name has been in place for the past 38 years.
