JAMES A. BERTRAND A.B. in Philosophy, 157-25, 12th Rd., Whitestone, N.Y. A staunch Moun- taineer, Jim entered the Mount Seminary in 1950 from the College depart- ment. Since he began at the Mount he was active as a member of the Moun- tain Echo, the St. John Berchman’s Society, and an enthusiastic participant in intramurals. He was studying for the holy priesthood for the Diocese of LaCrosse, in Wisconsin. A native of Long Island, Jim intended to conplete his studies at our Mount Seminary. JOSEPH L. BERUMEN B.S. in Economics, 150 Greenway Ter., Forest Hills, L.I., N.Y. The out- standing characteristic of Larry was his ability to avoid all forms of physi- cal exercise that his would-be reformers tried to force upon him. His in- genious sense of humor found its outlet while he was cartoonist for the Mountain Echo. His chief delight was in a good gag, but more so when he passed it on to an appreciative audience. He never worried about anything, and was never wanting for sufficient relaxation. Much of his time was spent either in the canteen at the pinball machine or at the Emmitsburg Legion Post. Father Kline’s theodicy course was to his special liking. His care- free but conscientious attitude toward life made him a vital part of Mount society. THOMAS E. BOYLE A.B. in Philosophy, 6614 Granby St., Norfolk, Va. A resident of Norfolk, but formerly from the hard coal regions of Pennsylvania, Tom studied for the holy priesthood in the Seminary department. Tom was a member of the Shamrock Club during his freshman and sophomore years in the College and at the Seminary was secretary of the St. John Chrysostom Society and assistant librarian. He planned to continue his studies at the Mount Seminary upon graduating. 64

JOHN H. BAKER B.S.in Biology, R.F.D. No. 1, Linden, Pa. Jack was well known on cam- pus and always cheerfully greeted his fellow students. In moments of leisure he could be seen reading the world-almanac which he used as a source book to quote facts and records verbatim. By many he was con- sidered the answer man of first McCaffrey. Jack, a varsity track and cross- country man, was interested in all athletics and participated in most intra- mural sports. He had a strong liking for bright colors in clothes and was often seen wearing odd hats which could not be duplicated. An honor stu- dent, and outstanding as ein Deutsche student, Jack planned to continue his studies at Georgetown Medical School. 63 GENO C. BARONI A.B. in Philosophy, Box 171, Acosta, Pa. Geno showed much interest in promoting sports during his stay at the Mount, both in the College and in the Seminary, where he studied for the holy priesthood under the Bishop of Altoona. Geno served the Mount well as a sports-writer for the Moun- tain Echo, manager of intramural sports, projector operator for the movie committee, and in numerous other clubs and activities. He was one of the most active Mountaineers in our class. Upon graduating he planned to continue his studies in the Mount Seminary. ANTONIO RAMOS BARROSO B.S. in Chemistry, 16 Betances St., Bayamon, Puerto Rico. Through his intense and diligent devotion to his studies Tony left the Mount a truly fine scholar. His unassuming demeanor coupled with his ease for logical thinking won the respect of his classmates and faculty alike. An easy-going humorist and conversationalist, this son of Puerto Rico was at home every- where. He was a willing and tireless worker in the lab or at social affairs, and active in the K. of C. and the school Orchestra. Tony was also selected for the Echo intramural all-star s oftball team and for Who’s Who.

JOHN J. BRADY B.S. in Economics, 13 Abbett Ave., Morristown, N.J. Joe was one of the most likable, sincere, and natural fellows in the class.

His good manners, taste, and friendly nature easily won the favor of all his associates. His outstanding feature was his quiet coolness, which betrayed his ready clever sense of humor. He could always be depended upon to follow the most sensible course of action, whether it be while driving his 1950 Plymouth or while studying. He often took time off from his periodic studying to play tennis, in which he excelled as a varsity competitor. Tom was an ardent movie fan and occasionally made the trip to the Valley to fulfill his social obligations. Though a trans- fer student from Notre Dame, he had a special liking for the Ivy League styles. DOMINIC A. BRITTI B.S. in Economics, 809 Virginia Ave., Hagerstown, Md. Nick was one of those rare souls to whom the pursuit of knowledge is a fascinating game. He was thoroughly inbred with the idea that nothing should be said or done unless it is correct and this principle made him one of the honor students of the class. His modesty, good naturedness and keen observation made a diligent worker of him. He had a firm confidence in himself. In class Nick earned the respect of his classmates and faculty. To a man of his genial nature the law profession provided the opportunities he could use as steps to achievement in the future. 65
