Junior Class Before the men of the Class of 1953 had unpacked their trunks in their freshman year, we, “the ten lordly sopho- mores,” promulgated a page full of initiation rules to them and proceeded with the hazing tradition. Notwithstand- ing the humiliating and deflating experience of being in- doctrinated, our immediate successors to Bradley Hall demonstrated a smiling sense of humor and a great deal of spirit. Football season saw Jimmy Adams demonstrating great talent in ripping through enemy lines from the left half- back position. In spring the neophytes elected Harry McPartland class president. Pleased with his ability and good nature they later reelected him twice more. Father Hugh Phillips was chosen to serve as class moderator. In May of 1950 the class promoted a dance which by popular opinion was the best on-campus social event up to that time. Over 400 people attended the “Spring Swing.” At the beginning of the sophomore year the Class of 53 fulfilled a then burning desire to direct an initiation. This particular hazing season culminated in a gigantic dunking party at the outdoor pool. In the last football season that we witnessed at the Mount, the then sophomores led the way with Jimmy Adams again, Herky Dawes, Frank Tumulty, Harry McPartland, and Pat McAuliffe. A large number of good athletes enabled an all-sophomore floor team, led by Mike Comerford’s high scoring, to win the intramural basketball championship for 1950-1951. The Forensic Society chose Gribbin for its president. Stan Barr, John Kay, Bill Ward, George Slough, Phil Toman, W. Bath. CLASSICAL: J. Young, J. Horning, L. Gribbin, M. Doran, P. McAniife: H. McPartland, president; Rev. H. Phillips, moderator; L. Gribbin, vice- president; D. Falco, treasurer. Missing: M. Doran, secretary. 110
