Lee Marvin's Saint Leo Days
[ Index ]

The few images here were copied from the 1942 yearbook represent the
time actor Lee Marvin attended Saint Leo Prep School.
The story of him throwing a fellow student from a second floor at Saint
Leo is not true.
He threw the student when he was at Lakeland High, according to Father
James Hoge, O.S.B., who was there at the time.
Other classmates of his say it never happened at Saint leo.
According to sources in the Abbey and
his fellow classmates, Lee Marvin had gotten into some trouble in 1942
and had a talk with the headmaster.
After the talk, it was assumed Lee
would leave school and join the Navy. He was NOT dismissed from Saint
Leo.
Lee was extremely angry over the
bombing of Pearl Harbor which led to his desire to join the armed
forces.
Below are the images contained in the
1942 yearbook. [For complete text and
