Remember, O most gragious Virgin Mary, that never
was it known that anyohe who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help, and sought thy intercession, was left
unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O
-Virgin of virgins, my Mother! To thee l comeg before
thee I stand sinful and sorrowful, OX Mother of the Word
flncarnatefdespise not my petitions, but in thy mercy
hear and answer them. Amen.

A personal devotion to the Mother of God is in most
instances the legacy of every Catholic student. lt goes without
saying that anyone convinced of the Divinity of Christ must
immediately consider the ineffable position of His Blessed Mother.
So it has been down through the ages. From the hidden catacombs
of Rome to the world famous shrines at Lourdes and Fatima, men
of all ages have been overwhelmed by the power and influence of
the Mediatrix of All Graces.
ls it any wonder then, that the members of the Senior Class
of Archbishop Stepinac High School, a schoot from its first days
dedicated to the Queen of Heaven and Earth, living in a nation
itself under the patronage of the Immaculate Conception, should
address the i958 "Shepherd" to the Blessed Virgin?
On this Tenth Anniversary of the establishment of our school,
one could look back upon the first decade of its history and see
everywhere the work and guidance of our Holy Mother, lt is
essential that a strong, unfailing reverence for the Blessed Virgin
fill the heart of every Stepinac student, for such devotion is often
the key to his physical, mentai, and spiritual success. ln all our
scholastic endeavors, extra-curricular activities, and participation
in athletic events, She is our guiding light, the omnipotent source
of our strength, and our greatest consolation if we should fall short
of the goals we have established for ourselves.
ln l858, one hundred years ago, a little peasant girl,
Bernadette Soubirous, while walking among the rocky foothills of
the French Pyrenees, was blessed with an apparition of the Blessed
Mother and was entrusted with a message of immeasurable
importance to the entire world, Bernadette was not of the wealthy
class, nor had she been born of noble heritage e she was only a
frail little peasant girl who found great difficulty even in memoriz-
ing her catechism lessons, By social and cultural standards,
Bernadette was a nobody! And yet now, one hundred years later,
this little peasant girl is a canonized saint, having realized a
treasure many times greater than wealth and famef The Beatific
Vision, For all eternity she will stand beside the Blessed Virgin,
at whose bidding the shrine at Lourdes was first erected. When-
ever we find ourselves in need of inspiration or assistance, we can
bow our heads in prayer to the Blessed Mother, for we have been
promised that no one seeking her holy protection or asking her
intercession will ever be denied,

The admonition of the Blessed
Mother to the servants at Cana, "Do
whatever He tells you," is the guiding
norm for every religious. Spurred on
by a desire to serve the cause of
Christ, Priest and Brother heed the
Divine Mandate to "Teach all nations"
under the protection of their heavenly
Queen.

This year's dramatic endeavor, "Plain and
Fancy", marked the seventh successful musical
comedy staged by the Stepinac Dramatic So-
ciety in as many years. A recent hit, running
almost two years at the Winter Garden in New
York, "Plain and Fancy" received more than
due justice from the professional acting of the
Stepinac and Good Counsel thespians in their
fine top notch performances.
Returning for her second appearance on
the Stepinac stage, Eileen Gallagher gave an
excellent portrayal ot Ruth, the blase city girl
whose high class tastes contrasted strongly
with the simple way of life lived by the Amish.
Dick Flintott returned from the role of a
dancer in "Student Prince" to take the lead in
'the person of Dan King this year. Dick's
natural, easy going attitude aided him greatly l
in his role of a likeable Broadway writer.
Katie was splendidly portrayed by Helene
Dwyer. Returning from a lead in the "Wizard
of Oz", Helene gave her all for the success of

the production. Miss Dwyer's vocal abilities supple-
mented her acting talents when she pleased the audi-
ences with "Young and Foolish" and "lt Wonders Me".
For Bill Lonergan, a Senior transfer student from
Iona, this was his first appearance on the Stepinac
stage and unfortunately his last. His portrayal of the
strict Papa Yoder was superb. Papa, a stubborn and
dedicated man, was set in his ways, and would not
permit his daughter, Katie, to marry the man she loved.
One would hardly recognize the nonchalant Bill as he
bellowed at the unfortunate Peter.

Peter Reber, the pugnacious but inherently good
and meaningful outcast of the group, was excellently
played by Kevin Ecclesine. Kevin's fine bass voice led
the chorus in last year's play, but this year, he took an
important part among the leading characters. He also
doubled as the Student Director of the play, and co-
ordinated much of the administrations connected with
this complex undertaking. Playing the role of Peter, he

won the hearts of many sympathetic viewers in his
vain attempt to win the favorable nod of staunch
Papa Yoder.
Complete with Dutch accent and long gray beard,
Frank Childs did a fine job as Isaac Miller, the aged
brother-in-law of Papa Yoder. Frank took to the part
like a duck to water, and his guttural intonations helped
him fill the role to the brim. lA capable artist, he,
along with Tony Pugliese, designed the beautiful back-
drops which graced the Stepinac stage this year.l

The Kitchen Girls led by Marie Wright as Emma

not be overlooked in their realistic presentation of the
chaotic state of affairs in an Amish kitchen.
Frank Francomano, playing the part of Samuel
Lapp, certainly deserved a great deal of credit. Al-
though this was only his first year in dramatics, Frank
more than capably supported the leads with a subtle
impressiveness. Along with Frank, in the parlor scene,

work. For the past two years both Frank and Tony
designed the backdrops for the musicals.
The choreography, once again under the guid-
ance of Mister Raymond La Bru, provided the perfect
steps to complete the quaintness which surrounded
"Bird-in-Hand". The orchestrations, arranged and
conducted by Fr. William McGann, filled the air with
the inherent simplicity of the Amish folk. Making sure
that all the sets were properly constructed and ar-
ranged, Bill Pfister, Stage Manager, did an admirable
job.

Certainly this outstanding performance could
not have been given had it not been for the time which
Father Cashman spent in rehearsing for it. The ex-
cellent production put on this year is indeed a tribute
to Father Cashman, to the entire cast, and all others
who helped make the show possible.

Performing at various functions throughout the school
year, the music department at Stepinac maintains a dizzying
pace. The Swing Band, Marching Band, Orchestra, and Glee
Club all demonstrate their high proficiency and training with
their fine interpretations of their assigned pieces,
Providing the rhythmic background as well as the colorful
marches and team spirit for the football games, the Marching
Band, under the direction of Father William McGann, contains
about sixty members in its ranks. Besides playing at all the
football games, the Band also performs at the pep rallies and
various other functions during the school year. The two
highlights of the year, as far as the Band is concerned, are the
annual St. Patrick's Day Parade and the Spring Concert.
The Band, as well as the entire Senior Class, marches up
Fifth Avenue in the annual parade. Here they are able to show,
to the thousands of spectators, the training and proficiency
they have received at Stepinac,
During the Spring, the Band takes on a new sound. During
this season, the emphasis is on classical and concert pieces.
The Spring Concert, usually made in conjunction with some
well known Catholic girl's school in the county, is the crowning
musical event of the year.
Stepinac's Dance Band, the Stepintones, under the direc-
tion of Tom Carpenter, performed at the many dances held at
Stepinac, as well as many other social functions around the
county. Their fine ability was one of the contributing factors
to the immense success of the Stepinac dances. Tom welded
his men into a tight knit group which attained much praise
for its fine sound.

The Glee Club provides excellent backing to many
extra-curricular activities. Demonstrating their musi-
cal prowess, they sing at High Masses in the school,
and in the May Day procession. During the school
year they give two concerts. One, at Christmas, is done
in conjunction with Our Lady of Victory Academy of
Tarrytown. The other, the annual Spring Concert, in
which the other musical organizations also perform, is
also given with Our Lady of Victory.

The School Orchestra helped to make "Plain and

Stepinac. Composed of the school's finest musicians,
the orchestra played the difficult arrangements which
characterized the musical score of this play with
professional skill.
All the musical groups in the school, with the
exception of the orchestra, took part in the Spring
Concert. The program commenced with numbers by

the combined glee clubs. Hymns, rounds, love songs,
and comical pieces brought applause from the pleased
audience. Then the Swing Band performed, playing
popular music and jazz. The Concert Band closed
the show with marches, concert pieces, and a comical
number or two. A grateful audience left the audi-
torium at the end of the performance with words of
praise upon their lips for the superb music department
we have here at Stepinac.

capabie assistants, Robert Magdelain and Michael Totaro, had
lforrnulated in their first editorial conferences had to be car-
ried out precisely. Many obstacles were encountered as their
work progressed, and many decisions had to be made as to
the context of the book. However, due to the whole-hearted

Here at Stepinac, a somewhat
democratic form of government
exists. During the school year the
students themselves must be
governed and are allowed the right
by the Administration to voice their
opinion as to what way this govern-
ment should be brought about. The
three components that represent the
students in self government and who
are acknowledged by the Faculty as
such are the Senior Senate, the
Student Council and the School
Officers,
The Senior Senate, whose mem-
bers are duly elected by their
respective homerooms, is a syn-
posium where the wishes and
suggestions of the student body are
presented and discussed. lt is also
responsible for the scheduling and
planning of many of the events that
occur throughout the school year.
The student councillors fulfill the
roles of corridor controllers and
maintainers of traffic order. lt is
through the proper enactment
of their duties that the wise
school policy of "safety first" is
perpetrated.
Last, but far from least, are the
School Officers. These men, elected
in the Fall of every year represent
the direct delegation of all the stud-
ents to the Administration, Digesting
the complaints and desires of the
student body, it is their function tc
present, not demand, their sugges-
tions to the school officials in the
hope that they will be considered
and acted upon for the benefit of all
concerned.

The success of the Mission Crusade was again the direct result of the
generosity and zeal of the entire student body. Mission representatives were
elected in each homeroom. Those students assisted Father John Murray who
succeeded Father Walter Murray as moderator of the Crusade.
The contributions were forwarded to the Society for the Propagation
of the Faith. Special collections were made at Christmas for the children at
the Cardinal McCloskey Home, and during Lent for the Bishop's War Relief
Fund. The members sponsored a Mission Dance for the benefit of the Crusade
and Mothers' Day Mass Cards were distributed which reaped both spiritual
and financial returns.

The Legionnaires Sodality is a group whose work is
two-fold: apostolic work in and around the school, and
personal sanctity with special devotion to the Blessed
Virgin.
Under the supervision of Father McDermott the group
meets each Tuesday morning before school in the auditorium.
The meetings feature is a Gospel reading and short talk on a
religious subject. With officers Kevin Buckley, prefect,
Eugene Sheridan, vice prefect, and Dennis Madden, secre-
tary, the Legionnaires carry on many activities throughout
the school year, most important of which is the maintenance
of the magazine rack in the lobby of the school.

The main purpose of the Altar
Boys at Stepinac is to assist at Mass,
Benediction, and the various liturg-
ical and special services throughout
the year. Father McCaffrey, together
with Father Gust, is in charge of the
Altar Boy Society, which numbers
about one hundred and twenty-five
boys. To provide the opportunity
for others to become altar boys and
to serve on the Altar of God, Mon-
signor Ryan is always available for
instruction.

lnstituted three years ago, the
Aquinas Society, moderated by
Father Kane, has the purpose of
encouraging the students to attain
high scholastic achievement.
Under the patronage of Saint
Thomas Aquinas, the "Angelic
Doctor" and patron of all Catholic
schools, the society provides due
recognition to those students who
constantly excel in their studies.
The society is divided into two
groups, the Primi and the Secundi.
The Primi is composed ot all those
who have obtained at least 85W in
each subject for the mid term. To
quality tor the Secundi you must
obtain the same grades for only one
marking period. Pins merited by the

Under the guidance of Father,
Lyons, the Senior Prom Committee
made the last social event of the
year for Seniors a night long to be
remembered and cherished in future
years. With tradition in the spot-
light, the prom was held at the Glen
lsland Casino once again, and the
Seniors danced to the melodic strains
of the Casino band.
All those who attended expressed
their appreciation for the expert
:lirection and hard work graciously
donated by Father Lyons, whose
sacrifices made the prom a memor-
able success.

The Scientific Society, one of the few
honorary societies at Stepinac, is directed by
Father Laurence McGowan. lts membership
consists of all those students who have repre-
sented Stepinac in an accepted science contest.
While Father McGowan is mainly respon-
sible for the organization, members receive
necessary help in the form of ideas and mater-
ials from other members of the faculty.
Early in March, the Society sponsored its
Annual Science Fair for the students, as a
preparation for forthcoming contests. Many
of the outstanding projects entered here go on
to win awards in national, local and diocesan
Science Fairs. Through the years a number of
scholarships and prizes have been realized as
a result of the efforts of this group.

Once a week, those freshmen who have an extra-curricular interest in
science meet together with Brother Norbert. During their meetings, films and
demonstrations of general interest are shown to these up and coming men of
science. On occasion, the members themselves prepare experiments for
demonstration and explanation at the meetings.
ln addition to assisting them in their preparation for more advanced
science courses, which they will take in future years, the club provides the
members with a chance to prepare whatever projects they plan to enter in the
science contests that occur throughout the school year.
The primary purpose of the Chemistry Club is to give its forty senior
members a deeper interest in Chemistry, which would result in a broader. ,
preparation for college.
The meetings, which are held every Tuesday and Thursday throughout
the school year, may consist of a science lecture, a film concerning the course,
or the doing of an extra experiment. Each member can work on a project of
his own choosing. using chemicals and apparatus over and above what is used
in the regular course.
Also during the year, through the efforts of Father McGowan, the
moderator, the club sponsors field trips to places of scientific interest.

The Physics Club, under the direction ot Father Kane, seeks to instill
a greater appreciation of the science of Physics among its many members. At
meetings Father Kane discusses various topics of interest and importance which
cannot be considered in class due to the time element involved.
By taking part in many experiments and by observing various ' '
demonstrations, students become more familiar with the scope and technique
of Physics. By learning to appreciate this science, the members ot the club
become more interested in the subject and are able to obtain better grades
in class.

basis. Under the guidance ot Brother Bernardine, the members learned ad-
vanced laboratory techniques and have carried out various experiments. One
of the projects has dealt with radioactive particles and a Geiger counter, which
are beyond the scope of the regular classroom work. The fifteen students
who are in the club were given special assistance and guidance toward entering
projects in numerous science contests.

After a two year absence, The Phoenix again began publication, under
the inspiring leadership of Father McMahon, The articles that were submitted
ranged from musical criticism to poetry, from Organic Chemistry to an appre-
ciation of snakes, from French and Italian to Latin. Selecting and editing
these selections was the job ot the Board of Editors, Headed by James
McSweeney, the literary staff, consisting of John Manfredi, Kevin Buckley,
Robert Magdelain and Robert Mangone, read and judge these offerings,
choosing only the best. George Hauck and Leo Ferret, the science editors,
were responsible for checking and editing the rather large number of Science
and Mathematical works.
ln attempting to ,keep up the high standards of past Phoenix publica-
tions, the entire staff has been indebted to the sage advice and views of
'Mgsr. Edwin Ryan.

This year the reins of the Business Club were handed over to Brother
Alphonse by Brother Douglas, who is no longer at Stepinac. Its purpose is
to give further training in the field of business law and in the usage of calcu-
lating, mimeographing, and duplicating machines. The greatest manifes-
tation of the efforts of the club is the Senior Bulletin. The membership of
the club boasts about fifty percent of those Seniors who are planning to take
up Business Administration in college.

Although young in years we possess
one ot the most quantitive high school
libraries anywere. Because of the over-
abundance ot work Brother George Pat-
rick, librarian, has selected a group of
students to help him, This comprises
the basis for the foundation of the
Library Club.
Among the more noticable services
ot the club are monthly displays which
cover the bulletin boards. The annual
Catholic Press Month Exhibit brings to
the attention ot the students the recent
works ot the finest Catholic writers.
Also included in the functions of the
Library Club are the audio-visual aids
which enable the students to grasp
more easily the subject matter of their

The Oratorical Society is an excel-
lent means of preparing students to
speak before large audiences.
ln the first regular contest of this
year Kevin Keogh represented the
school in the American Legion com-
petition speaking on the United
States Constitution. He reached the
finals of Westchester County before
he was eliminated.

contest in the school later in the
year. Here the topics were l'Catho-
lic Youth and the Popes Annual
Christmas Message - l9'57" and
"Catholic Youth and the Annual
Report of the American Bishopsw-
l957". Speaking against contest-
ants from all over the Countv, Rob-

ln Room G-5 a group of serious minded students, the Electronics Club,
convenes regularly, and discusses and unravels the intricate and perplexing
problems encountered in electronics. The society is open to all four years,
and the scientific minded members, under the supervision of that electronics
wizard, Brother Philip Neri, devote themselves to the construction of such
projects as solar powered automobiles and complex electrical machines.
The Electronics Club is an outlet for those students whose ambitions
are centered around entrance into that vital field of science. However, its
primary purpose is to prepare its members for college courses in electronics.
The Model Railroad Club, this year under the direction of Brother
Medard, has given its members a great opportunity to work on their hobby,
scale model railroading. The members have built and displayed engines and
equipment representing the various stages in the development ot American
railroading. At weekly meetings they discuss the advances in railroading
since Peter Cooper's "Tom Thumb" and thereby further their interest in their
hobby.

The Camera Club, one of many extra-curricular activities to make a
welcomed reappearance at Stepinac this year, is under the direction of the
very capable Brother Bernardine.
Membership is made up of students considering photography as a future
career. Meetings, held weekly, frequently consist of practice in the develop-
ing and enlarging of pictures. Many fine photographs are acquired by the
club through the competition sparked by monthly contests, and these pictures
are often seen gracing the pages of "Crusader" issues.

The Chess Club, under the direction of Brother Meinrad has now fin-
ished its third year here at Stepinac. Comprised of some eleven Freshman,
tour Sophomores and tour Juniors, the Club meets three times a week to pit
their mental prowess against each other,
Due to a late start this year, it did not compete in any matches with
other schools. However, with such a large underclassman membership, ex-
perience is sure to be a valuable asset next year.
Unlike the other clubs, the election of its hierarchy is dictated accord-
ing to the individual's skill at the board, A "Round Robin" tournament
provides the opportunity for the members to campaign for office.
The Poster Club is one of this year's addition to Stepinac's growing roster
of societies. lt came into existence as a result of the discontinuation of the
school's Art Courses. The club was organized under Brother Cornelius, with
a two-fold purpose in mind, namely to get the necessary poster work done,
and at the same time, to search tor any talent in the school. The finding ot
this talent is of great importance, especially where such activities as the
school show are concerned. One look at the posters around Stepinac would
be all that would be necessary to learn of the club's success.

The Alumni Association has continued
the ever growing task of informing gradu-
ates of their classmates endeavors, as well
as current activities at their Alma Mater.
This information is conveyed principally
through the "Alumni News" and letters
which are mailed to all the graduates. Fr.
McCaffrey and Fr. Di Blasi, who now super-
vise the association, succeed the moderator
during the first eight years, Fr. Matthews.
The moderators work jointly with the elected
representatives from each graduated class
to plan the Alumni-Varsity basketball game
at Thanksgiving, the Christmas Dance, and
the Communion breakfast in the Spring.
Under their new moderator, Fr. William
McGann, the ladies club had another very
successful year. lt was high-lighted by their
chief social function, namely, the Easter
Bridge. On the line of education, they had
many interesting and informative speakers
at their meetings. ln addition to the tradi-
tional task of running the communion
breakfast, they took on, and skillfully han-
dled, with the aid of the Dads' Club, the job
of giving those connected with the School
Show a free dinner and dance.
Of the many societies at Stepinac, one
of the most important is the Dads' Club,
Few groups do more for the school. This
year, under the presidency of Harold F.
O'Neill and the new direction of Fr. Francis
Melican, club activities were very success-
ful. As in the past, the clubs' first job was
that of assisting at the football games, which
was followed up by the Annual Football
Dinner. Then, in conjunction with the
Ladies Auxiliary, they originated and heloed
carry through successfully the project of
giving a dinner and dance for those associ-
ated with the School Show, "Plain and
Fancy", The year was finally brought to a
profitable close by the traditional Boxing
Night.

The i957-58 basketball squad more than
made up for the mediocre seasons of past
years, compiling one of the best records in
the history of the school. After the sinking
of the last basket, and after the last whistle
had been blown, Stepinac was recognized as
having been one of the finest teams in the
metropolitan area.
Starting on the right foot, Ed McGirr and
Paul Kinsley led the cagers to a 46-40 win
over the Alumni. Journeying to Hayes for
the first regular season contest, the team was
bested in the final seconds, 48-46. On Decem-
ber lO, they again invaded the city to play a
strong Fordham team. Three key players
fouled out in the second half, and the Prep
took full advantage of our weakened condi-
tion to pull away and win in the last quarter.

Iona were particularly satisfying. The win over

With a league record ot I l-l, the Freshman team was the champion of CC
the Westchester Division of the C.H.S.A.A.. They had a 22-7 overall record,
but six of their losses were to strong New York City teams.
Outstanding moments included an overtime loss to St. Francis Prep, fifty
points in the second half of a game with a good Stepinac Annex team, and
the final contest, a 69-50 shellacking of top-notch Manhattan Prep,
Brother Alois rates the team's captain and high scorer, John Mastropolo,
as one of the finest prospects he has coached or seen. Jack Searing, Ray
Doherty and Bill Dwyer give promise of developing into outstanding players
for the Crusaders.
A fine group of reserves backed up the starting five, and ably assisted
the team in compiling one of the best records in the school's history.

Pre-season forecasts of greatness for the Crusaders of
'57 showed indications of fulfillment in their first game
against Fairfield Prep. With Buddy Kindermann romping
26 yards to 'score early in the first quarter, Stepinac held
defensively and won 6-2, breaking highly touted Fair-
field's fourteen game winning streak. Fairfield's points
came late in the fourth quarter when Bill Plunkett, on
his own one yard line due to a punt, intentionally gave
Fairfield the safety.
Stepinac went into its first league game minus the
leadership of quarterback Bill Plunkett. Bill, having ag-
gravated last year's injury, in the Fairfield game, was
for a while, in critical condition, and lost to the team for
the year. Sophomore Dick Bolander filled in and did a
fine job. However, Stepinac's bad breaks had just started.
The one-two punch of Kindermann and Kerwin was also
lost to the Crusaders early in the game, and they too
missed the remainder of the season. ln spite of all the
hardships, the Werdermen put up a terrific struggle
and lost a close one, 6-O.
Playing their county rivals, New Rochelle, led by John
Counts, the injury ridden Crusaders went to their second
close-one touchdown defeat. Counts scored both of
New Rochelle's touchdowns, on a forty yard run in the

The first extra point was made, but New Rochelle failed
in their second attempt. Stepinac's score came in the
final period on a one yard plunge by Tom Lantry which
sparked this 40 yard drive to paydirt. Stepinac, for the
game, led in yards gained and first downs. One of the
brightest spots in the contest was the ball handling and
passing of Sophomore Bolander who completed ten passes
for l3l yards.
Returning to league play, Stepinac faired no better
against Mount Saint Michael. The Crusaders looked
good in the opening minutes, but that was about all.
Early in the initial period Tom Griffin blocked John
Ahearn's kick and Art Malesardi fell on it for the score.
The conversion was blocked.
From then on it was the Mount's game. In the sec-
ond period the Mount recovered a Stepinac fumble on
the 23 yard line from which point Charlie Barr went over
on the first play. The extra point try was no good. The
Mount kicked to Stepinac who after three plays were
forced to punt. The kick was blocked and the Mounties
had the ball again, this time on the 22 yard line. After
picking up a first down, Barr went the remaining yard-
age for the score. The final scoring of the day came in

VARSITY CROSS COUNTRY TEAM
C. Faughnam, C. McGovern, V. Carroll, T. Dempsey, E. Callahan, W. Breede, M. Scully.
Early in the Fall, our Varsity Cross Country team started
to trample down the grass on the hills. This year's team,
composed of two seniors: Tom Dempsey and Vin Carroll, and
six Juniors: Mike Scully, Walt Breede, Charlie McGovern, Ed
Callahan, Joe Welsh and Bob Lunny, had a relatively poor
season because of lack of depth. But this fact was over-
shadowed by the superior running of Tom Dempsey who set
a new meet record in five of seven major contests.
The thinclads launched their season on September 27,
against Sacred Heart. Dempsey paced the Crusaders to a 27-
29 victory, beating second place Mike Scully by one hundred
yards. The following week Tom began his record breaking
performances. Traveling to Schenectady to compete in the
Grout Memorial Meet, Dempsey ran the 2.4 mile course in
,X . w
l2:O6, bettering the old mark by thirteen seconds. This, plus Tozlreazgfllrfikrz
Scully's eleventh place, helped to place the team in Si-epinac's history.
sixth position.
Returning to New York, the Crusaders captured fifth
place in the N.Y.U. Invitational Meet. Dempsey again took
first place. His time, l3:O3.4, set a new Van Cortlandt Park
record and cut down the old record by 4.6 seconds. Picking
up eleventh spot was Mike Scully. ln the Westchester Coaches'
Meet which was run for the first time at Blue Mountain,
Dempsey set an automatic record of l2:29. As a team the
Crusaders took fifth place.
Running at Tibbett's Brook in the Iona College Invitational
Meet, Stepinac took third place. This was due mainly to the
first and third combination of Dempsey and Scully respectively.
Taking first place in l l 354, Tom set a new county record. On
October 26, competing in the Fordham Eastern lnterscholastic
Championships at Van Cortlandt Park, Tom Dempsey, finish-
ing twenty yards in front of Laris from the P.S.A.L., broke his
own course record, l3:O3:4, set two weeks before and was
timed in l3:Ol:5. With this win, he became the undisputed
Eastern Champion and unofficial National Champion. ln the
Bronx-Manhattan-Westchester Meet the hill and dalers took
third place, failing to fully defend the title which they had held
for two years.
On November 2, running in the wind and rain, the
Crusaders climaxed a successful season by capturing fifth
place in the CHSAA Championship. Claiming the honored title Mk H T D k h AH C C

After a brief rest, the hill and dalers
transferred to the boards to compete in the
pre-season Providence Four Mile Relay. The
Crusader Relay, composed of Dempsey, Scully,
McGovern, and Breede placed third and set
a new school record.
The official opening of the indoor season
took place December seventh with the CHSAA
Relay Carnival. lt was here that, along with
Tom Dempsey, Henry Korn, entered the
national spotlight. The "King" heaved the
twelve pound ball 58 feet l inch to break the
old meet record by 2 feet 4 inches.
The distance medley team consisting of
Walt Breede, Frank Kindermann. Charlie
McGovern and Tom Dempsey finished only
one second behind the meet record and
took first place. ln the same event, the B team
composed of Ed Callaghan, Mike Scully, Bill
McGowan, and Joe Mazzetti took fifth place.
Stepinac captured an overall second place
behind St. Francis Prep.

Dempsey took second place again behind Eric
Groon of Leonia. The Crusaders also took a
fourth in the two mile relay.
The Stepinac Varsity placed third behind
LaSalle and Mount Saint Michael in the Bronx-
Manhattan-Weschester Meet. Dempsey set a
new meet record in the mile, bettering it by
4.4 seconds. Behind him in fourth place was
Mike Scully. Korn, following Dempsey's
example, also set a new meet record in the
shot put with a toss of 60 feet 2M inches.
The Crusaders' two mile relay placed second
behind the Mount. ln the 880-yard relay the
foursome took a disappointing third. Buddy
Kindermann came in fourth in the fifty yard
dash and Ed Callaghan and Jim Harkins tied
for fourth in the high jump. Competing in the
N.Y.U. Meet, Stepinac took second place. Tom
Dempsey captured second in the mile, while
Korn took first in the shot put.
Coming to Westchester for the only
time during the indoor season, the Crusaders
retained their glory by winning the Westchester
Coaches' Meet for the fourth consecutive year.
ln doing so, they scored in every event. Lead-
ing the parade were Tom Dempsey and Henry
Korn who controlled the mile and shot put
respectively. Pugni also picked up a third in
the shot, and Ralph Carl a fourth in the mile.
Other scorers were Jim Harkins and Dick
Bolander who tied for second in the high jump,
and Ed Callaghan who tied for fourth. ln the
50-yard high hurdles George Brigandi picked
up a third and Jim Harkins a fourth. Buddy
Kindermann followed with a second place in

Kindermann sprints away from the rest of his
competitors.
The Crusaders then traveled to compete
in the Fordham Relays. The two mile relay
composed of Dempsey, Scully, McGovern, and
Callaghan picked up third place, while the
6-lap relay of Kindermann, O'Hara, Walsh,
and McGowan took first.
Travelling to the Nationals, the same fine
performances were realized. Although Korn
only took a disappointing fifth in the shot put,
Dempsey made up for it by running the
mile in 4:l8.l, but lost to Laris of George
Washington who beat him by five yards.
After a two weeks rest, the Crusaders took
part in the CHSAA Championships. Dempsey
and Korn took their expected first places. Also
scoring were Jim Harkins who tied for second
in the high jumpg Buddy Kindermann who took
fourth in the 6003 and the mile relay. Thus
ended a very successful season for the Stepinac
Track and Field Team.
A successful outdoor season was anticipated
as a result of the team's initial good showing
in the Catholic High School Relay Carnival and
the Queens-Iona Meet. The distance medley
quartet broke the existing' .record by six
seconds. Kindermann, McGovern, Scully, and
Dempsey set their eyes on the National Record
which they strove to break at the Penn Relays.

The outlook for the i958 edition of the Crusader Varsity
Baseball Team was highly optimistic. The squad of twenty-one
ballplayers, ably coached by Mr. Werder, entertained difficulty
in obtaining the time and the place for the much needed spring
practice. ln the short time allotted, the squad has worked hard
and spiritedly. If the team, which contains an important
nucleus of returning veterans complemented by a most prom-
ising group of newcomers, continued to jell as expected, then
it would have been no surprise to find the team a strong con-
tender for the first league title of the CHSAA Westchester
division.
Being called upon to supply much of the punch and sorely
needed experience were shortstop John Bernarducci and out-
fielder Art Malesardi--a pair of seasoned three year men.
Others who returned to the lineup were first baseman Larry
Dingee and infielder Bob Austin. Two of last year's pitchers-
Jerry DiRienzo and Ed Hayde, were expected to carry much of
the pitching load. They were backed up by Seniors Jim Mooney
and Paul Gangemi, and underclassmen Dick Yannantuono and
Ed Lombardi. Ray Oddo held down the third base slot. Other
promising infielders who could step in whenever called upon
and perform capably were Joe Thompson, Jack McGowan, Emil
Milisci and Ernie Bianco. The outfield situation found George
Ciaramella, Phil LaManna and Larry Lombardi fighting for the
two remaining spots.

"You're out!
When the Stepinac tennis squad lost seven of the
nine members of its C.H.S.A.A. championship team
through graduation last Spring, the prospects for a suc-
cessful l958 season seemed to have dimmed substan-
tially. However, under the direction of Father John
Murray, who had succeeded the equally competent
Father Mathews early in the Fall, the squad breezed
through its autumn schedule, suffering only two de-
feats. With the leadership of co-captains Chris Buck-
ley and Alec Van Eyck, the netmen fought their way
through the first half of the Spring season undefeated,
and were driving for their third straight Catholic High
School championship. The squad crushed St. John's,
Iona, St. Mary's of Greenwich, and Rye by overwhelm-
ing match scores.
In tournament competition, Stepinac teams have
always done well. Last year Jack Sinnott won the White
Plains "Jaycee" Tourney and journeyed to Rochester,
where he reached the semi-finals. This year the net-
men were out to win the Fordham Tournament and to
place two men in the finals of the "Jaycee" Tourney.
The future of the varsity squad appears to be ex-
cellent. Chris Buckley and Art Trifari were the only
Seniors among the top nine players on the squad this
year, and Juniors Alec Van Eyck, Frank Buckley, and
Stu McMillan will be the backbone of a fine team next
season. Sophomores Ed Dealy, Dave Ryan, and Bob
Kuna will also be fighting for high positions on the
squad. A fine Freshman team, coached by Father
McDermott, will also achieve great success in future
years.

MICHAEL McADAMS
This year's golf team was probably the
strongest Stepinac has ever had. There
were five returning lettermen, three of
whom were Seniors, Wes Voight, Mike
McAdams and Frank Merolla. The team
suffered only the loss of one letterman,
John Yannuzzi.
The linksmen, for the second consecu-
tive year, beat New Rochelle in the opener
5-4. The second match against Sacred
Heart was a more decisive win, 9-O. Every
man scored below 80 in at least one match
this year and this should assure them of
defending their P.P.S.A.A. championship.
That crown has not left Stepinac for the
last few years. "Undefeated" was their
cry--in order to maintain last year's pace.
The team had plenty of depth with Dom
Desio, Jerry Mahoney and Pete Bisconti
backing up the seniors. The future is also
bright, with two new promising golfers-
Freshman Tom Luddy and Sophomore
Don Bank leading next year's squad.

RIFLE TEAM

I
Under the capable direction ot Father
Thomas McCaffrey, Bro. Norbert and
Father Gust the rifle team in its second
year was able to come back from a 3-7
record last year to finish the season with
a much improved record of 7 wins and 5
losses. This record allowed the team to
be ranked as third in the VVestchester ln-
terscholastic Rifle League.
The team scored its 7 victories of the
l2 scheduled matches by defeating A. B.
Davis twice, Port Chester twice, New Ro-
chelle twice, and Roosevelt once. Losses
were had at the hands ot Scarsdale twice,
Mamaroneck twice, and Roosevelt once.
The top scorers on the team this year
were John Garigliano, Paul Gaulin, and
Ed Harvey.
The most noteworthy advancement
made tor the team this year is the build-
ing of a school rifle range in the basement
of the school itself. It is a project that
is realizing success under the tireless et-
forts of Father McCaffrey, other faculty
members, the Dads, and some of the stu-
dent body itself. Although the team will
lose the majority of its members this year,
the completion of this range will no doubt
help to replace these men and enable the
school to have finer teams to represent it
in the future.

."Safety through skill" is the motto of
the National Rifle Association. Our rifle
club has been a member of the N.R.A. for
many years. Members of the club are in-
stilled with a great respect for the power
of guns, and are trained in the proper,
safe use of the .22 calibre rifles in par-
ticular. Shooting under this supervised
program is an exciting sport requiring
exacting self control and discipline.
During the past year forty students
participated in the club's activities. The
twelve best marksmen represented the
school in the Westchester lnterscholastic
Rifle League, and performed well con-
sidering the limited opportunity to prac-
tice at the Air National Guard Armory in
White Plains. Our record was seven wins
and five losses.
With the completion of our range here
at school laccommodating six shooters at
one timel, well over one hundred stu-
dents will be able to join the club in the
future. Our sincere gratitude is due to
the Dads' Club and to the many students
who have labored so untiringly in its con-
structionl
Moderators of the Rifle Club are Father
Gust, Father McCaffrey and Brother
Norbert.

Under the direction of Father DiBlasi, the
Bowling Team not only had an outstanding
season, but one of its members, Joe Garro,
received recognition in the "Bowling News"
and achieved national acclaim.
The team's record of seven wins and one
loss is indeed a commendable oneq The only
loss was suffered at the hands of Salesian when B
Garro and Bernarducci were absent.
Among the teams twice defeated were
Port Chester, Mamaroneck, lona Prep and the
Crusader keglers downed Salesian once,
Joe Garro, who averaged I76, was the
Westchester County Bowling Champ, and he
also took first place in the New York Parochial
Bowling Tournament in which there were ll6
participants. John Bernarducci finished in a
respectable eleventh place.
Besides Seniors Garro and Bernarducci, the
team was composed of Juniors Pete Valenti
and Bill Voeltz and Sophomore Gary Wayne,
all three of whom will bolster next year's team.
Bernarducci lines up his shot before wracking

this great boon for the diocesan priesthood, Cardinal
Farley also accomplished much in the field of
Catholic education. His importance is undeniable,
for a reorganization of the Society for the Propaga-
tion of the Faith, can also be given to his credit.
March, l9l9, saw Bishop Patrick J. Hayes rise
to leadership of New York. Specialization in various
fields was being undertaken by the priests at this
time and under the leadership of the Cardinal,
great strides were taken in the field of organized
charity.
Since l939, while Francis Cardinal Spellman has
been leading the faithful, diocesan priests have
embarked more and more into specialized fields:
secondary school teaching, military chaplaincies, and
social administration to mention but a few. And
therefore it is evident that the training received by
the aspiring priests must be the finest available.
Truly, in the Archdiocese of New York is no better
training possible.
Of course, each boy who desires to become a
priest must have certain basic qualifications. He
must be physically fit and have sufficient intelli-
gence. For the life of a priest often exerts pressure
and requires long hours of work. Also, since every
priest is a teacher he rnust be able to learn and
convey to his faithful the truths of Catholicism.
ln addition to this physical and mental fitness, he
must have a great desire for holiness. For no one
can become a good priest without first becoming a
man of prayer and holiness.
ISO
Seminarians set tables each day for every meal.
The fulfillment of these essentials enables a boy
to begin his preparation for the priesthood. lf a
boy wishes he can start his training as early as high
school. For Cathedral College was established for
this purpose. lt is a day school and includes an
academic four-year high school course, plus the
first two years of college with a Liberal Arts
program. Upon graduation from Cathedral College
he would be ready to enter St. Joseph's
Seminary.
However, many other boys decide to enter
Cathedral College after high school, and still others,
to enter St. Joseph's after college. But these are
merely different paths which all lead to Dunwoodie,
where they become one.
Dunwoodie, St. Joseph's Seminary, although
relatively young, has trained more than one thousand
priests, and today houses some two hundred
seminarians and almost twenty priest-professors. At
Dunwoodie the seminarians major in Philosophy for
two years and then receive a degree of Bachelor of
Arts. The following four years are devoted to a
more intimate training for the priesthood, with
Theology as a major. There are also courses in Canon
Law, Preaching, Liturgy, History and Scripture.
The life of the Seminarians is a well-balanced
program of prayer, study and recreation. He is
kept busy and is constantly drawn closer to God.
All this preparation and labor is finally rewarded at
the ordination ceremonies, wherein the Seminarian

becomes a representative of Christ, the living
representative of Christ on earth. After his ordina-
tion he will enter into one of the many activities in
which the New York diocesan priests are involved.
Within the complex organization of the Arch-
diocese, priests are called upon to serve as teachers,
hospital workers, social workers and pastors. But no
matter how varied their jobs may be they have only
one main purpose -- to save and win souls for Christ.
The chief activity of the diocesan priests is
parish work. There are some l lOO priests serving in
the many parishes of the Archdiocese. Their main
duties are to offer Mass, administer the sacraments,
and instruct. Since the Mass is the center of Catho-
lic devotion this alone gives inestimable value to the
work performed by the parish priest. Yet, his
services do not end here. He administers the
sacraments, and also provides counsel and advice
for his faithful. This includes preaching from the
pulpit, giving private instruction and consolation,
and setting an example for the Catholics of his
Community.
Many priests are also involved in teaching in
the Archdiocesan high schools. ln attempting to
accomplish the ideal Catholic education - to
develop the whole man - they dedicate their entire
lives. To mature their students physically, mentally
and most of all, spiritually, is their goal, Their mere
presence and example goes a long way towards
attaining this goal.

Father Lyons distributes ashes to the Seniors on Ash Wednesday. .
Another interest in which the diocesan priests
are connected is Catholic Charities. The activities of
this organization include homes for the aged, foster
homes, The Family Home Bureau and institutions
for dependent children. These are but a few of the
various agencies of this tremendous organization.
The guidance, maintenance and accomplishment of
the divers works these charities offer, is all affected
through the diligence and efforts of hundreds
of priests.
Some priests are also active in hospital work.
They work in non-sectarian as well as Catholic
hospitals, thus enabling the sick to have the comfort
of the sacraments in their hour of need. Others
serve as chaplains in all the branches of our Armed
Forces, as retreat masters and in many other in-
numerable fields. And yet at all times their main
purpose is to teach and bring souls to Christ.
This is but a brief account of the history of the
priesthood, the training, the activities, and the goal
of that priesthood within the Archdiocese of New
York. Perhaps a quote of Cardinal Spellman can
best summarize what we have attempted to convey.
"The Church seeks men to follow in the footsteps
of the Master and answer His call to the Priesthood.
No nobler cause is there to which our youth could
offer themselves."

September i957 marked another step. in the
growth and progress' of Archbishop Stepinac High
School. For the first time, an annex was established,
located at the St. Theresa Parochial School in North
Tarrytown. Renovations were made in the school
building to provide a library, science classroom, and
cafeteria. Over a period of three years, the Annex
will increase the student enrollment at the main build-
ing in White Plains by two hundred and seventy stu-
dents.
Staffed by three Crosier Fathers, Fr. Smerke, O.S.
C., Principal, Frs. Alden and Rampe, O.S.C., the Annex
offers the finest first-year education available. The
enthusiastic school spirit of the boys, typical of all
Stepinac men, will make their class and those to fol-
low a welcome addition to our student body.
