Freshman Class Before we had returned to the Mount for our senior year, 120 eager freshmen had already begun their college careers. After a week of loafing around the campus, the traditional hazing began. During this period the beanie- wearers were doomed to provide much amusement. The real show began when the sophomores led most of the freshmen into town and the White House to entertain the townspeople and St. Joe girls. After the freshman torture, the sophomore tribunal met to decide the fate of those unfortunate rebels who had violated the rules. Among these were Harry Jordan and Jack Buckley. Jim Gilchrist was also on the wanted list, but he remained hidden well enough to escape the fate of eggs and paint. With the indoctrination completed, the Class of 1955 lost no time in getting into the swing of things. In the intramural football league, the Bradley Hall men did not fare too well,-due mainly to a lack of organization. AI- though records of their three teams were not impressive, the boys helped make the football program a success and enjoyed themselves in doing it. When the basketball sea- son rolled around, three freshmen with scholarships were on the varsity squad, Frank Swaine, Vince Gulbin, and Bob Ferry. As semester examinations loomed upon the horizon, the freshmen crammed and studied, and crammed some more. When the smoke had cleared away, only a few boys were left by the wayside. im » = Ge et BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION: Kneeling: J. Morris, V. Gulbin, R. Flanigan, J. Besche. Background: J. Doherty, W.

Bradley Hall The imposing, fortress-like Bradley Hall was built in 1915 during the reign of Fr. Burke as treasurer. The build- ing was dedicated to Msgr. Bernard J. Bradley, former president of the College. Although lacking in the tradition -of DuBois and Bruté Halls, Bradley makes up the de- ficiency by service to the Mount. More commonly known as the Administration Building, it is the nerve center of the Mount. Although the top floor serves as a dormitory to fresh- men, the greater part of the building is given over to the dissemination of knowledge. From his dean’s office on the first floor, Father Fives directed the academic activities carried on in the ten classrooms housed by the building. He was assisted by Registrar Mr. Roddy, whose office was 117 also on the first floor. In the basement were the large biology and physics laboratories. Part of the priest-faculty, including Monsignor Sheridan, lived in the building, and there was a day room for the lay faculty, and spare rooms for visitors. The economic fortunes of the Mount were in the hands of Father Kilcullen and his staff on the first floor. On the same floor were also the National Alumni Office and par- lors for official ceremonies. All Mountaineers at one time or another stood in a line outside the first-floor bookstore. During our time the extra dining hall on the second floor was redecorated and made to serve as a banquet hall. The main halls of the Ad Building were the forum of the school, centering around the bulletin boards.
