5) ec i JOSEPH A. TURNBACH A.B. in Philosophy, 1215 E. 4th St., Bethlehem, Pa. Joe was a candidate for the holy priesthood, studying for the diocese of Oklahoma City and Tulsa. While on campus he was noted for his scholastic achievements and his enthusiastic participation in many of our Mountain activities, both in the College and in the Seminary. An active member of many organizations, Joe served as an officer of the class, Glee Club, Knights of Columbus, and St. John Berchman’s Society. His high quality of scholarship was shown by his membership in every honor society existent at the Mount and his selection for the national Who’s Who. Joe planned to pursue his theological studies in the Mount Seminary. JAMES PAUL WALSH, JR. B.S. in Biology, 234 S. 17th St., Allentown, Pa. Not to be confused with James Peter, as has been a common occurrence through the past four years, James Paul Walsh was a stalwart Pennsylvanian with pronounced Key- stone leanings. Jim is best to be remembered as the person who introduced any new fad on campus, most noteworthy of which was the leopardskin caps of a few years ago. He was a frequenter of Emmittsburg proper, who liked to ogle the afternoon “‘parade’’ and to bask beneath the sheltering palm in the evening. He established a reputation as a connoisseur of fine clothes and good food, the latter of which also served as his first topic of conversation. He was a good student whose favorite subject was philosophy. His favorite question: “How did the Phils do today?” JAMES PETER WALSH B.S. in Economics, 135 Van Nostrand Ave., Englewood, N.J. Who could fail to remember Jim, the justly proud father of the first twins of St. Marysville. He was one of the most outstanding members of the class. This veteran’s admirable work as Student Council representative, Junior Prom committeeman, and as business staff member of the Pripwin can not be forgotten. Energetic, enthusiastic, level headed, and able, Jim was an asset to all class and social functions. He was a varsity cross-country man and an active participant in intramurals. Jim never worried about his studies and breezed through without much trouble. His prevailing sense of humor and carefree attitude was characteristic of his outlook on life, always able to see the bright side of things. Beginning with a tour of duty as a Marine Lieutenant, Jim and his charming wife Jean could look toward a future of happiness which was most deservedly theirs. 97

CHARLES J. SWETT B.S. in Economics, 903 Euclid Ave., Lawton, Okla. It was not until September of 1950 that “Chuck” transferred to the Mount from George Washington and became the only “Okie” in t he school. During his senior year he distinguished himself as vice-president of the International Rela- tions Club, as a Pripwin worker, but, most notably, took the school by storm as “‘Cyril VII’ on the Mountain Echo. Some of the things he liked were good reading, philosophical arguments, playing the piano, Ivy League styles, cashmere sweaters, and telling stories. He was characterized by sincerity, common sense, a poignant sense of humor, and a pleasing person- ality. He was outstanding as the infirmary’s leading patient of Winter, 1952. His pet peeve was people with too many pet peeves. JAMES J. THOMAS B.S. in Chemistry, 1043 W. College Ave., York, Pa. One of the quieter members of the class was one of its outstanding photographers. Although active as a Mountain Echo cameraman since sophomore year, Jim found his senior year to be the busiest. It was then that he, with a few other students, founded the Camera Club. He became its first president. He also acted as chemistry laboratory supervisor and was named to the Monsignor Tierney Honor Society. At any time and any place he was willing to stop and listen to a humorous story and was quick to show his appreciation of it with his hearty laugh. His congeniality, sense of humor, and keen mind made him an outstanding member of the class of 1952. JAMES D. TULLY B.S. in Biology, 654 45th St., Brooklyn, N.Y. Jim arrived at the Mount four years ago a budding sage and left a full fledged philosopher. His varied and distinctive talents were equally and effectively applied to both curricular and extracurricular activities. Well grounded and well rounded, Jim’s endeavors reached into every phase of college life, and in each he left his own inimitable imprint. F riendly and capable, he met his problems with a smile and dispatched them with ease. During his senior year he was named to the Monsignor Tierney Honor Society. Jim, with his constant smile, was valued as an acquaintance and cherished as a friend. His post-graduation plans included the study of medicine at New York Medical College. 96

EDWIN J. WARD B.S. in Economics, 27 Drake St., Malverne, N.Y. Probably the most versa- tile member of the senior class, Ed distinguished himself as an outstanding athlete, capable student, and conscientious worker in extracurricular affairs. In sports he was a monogram winner in track and football, and participated in intramurals as well. Under his presidential administration, the Metropolitan Club had its most successful era in recent years. He also held offices in the Monogram Club and the Athletic Association and was a sports columnist for the Echo. Ed was noted for his cheerful disposition and open outlook on life. Though a hard worker, he never let anything inter- fere with his sleep. In his immediate future he was to live the life of a Marine officer. JAMES E. WERNER A.B. in English, 18 N. Chase St., Cumberland, Md. It is a rarity to find someone with as amiable a personality as ““Hoot.’’ Studious to the degree which paid off with honors, this quiet, subtle man kept voluminous class notes which will remain a legend to all who had occasion to borrow them. ‘“Hoot”’ was often seen with his brow wrinkled in thought considering weighty problems, ranging from his touching love of Morpheus to his final contribution to the College, the Mountain Echo, which he co-edited. In all phases of his work he did a wonderful job. If he sustained the dynamic interest in his work which he possessed, his future in journalism would be bright and promising. EDWARD ATWATER WITT B.S. in Economics, 51 Afton Ave., Crafton, Pa. Ed left those who knew him a wealth of pleasant memories of time well spent in his company. Bridge, tennis, track, and intramural sports found him an enthusiastic competitor. A staunch friend, worthy of the title, in four years at the Mount he en- deared himself to many men. Another member of the Pennsylvania group, he had high ambitions together with confidence and ability necessary for their attainment. Keen of intellect, of definite purpose, an honor student and a gentleman, a rosy future seemed destined for Atwater in law school and throughout life. 98 a a i i ae a i aa
