JOHN J. BROWN B.S. in Chemistry, 521 Marcellus Rd., Williston Park, L.I., N.Y. His was a retiring nature. John was agreeable and pleasant to converse with. He was an energetic fellow, and his conscientious, never tiring efforts won him the esteem and respect of those who have known him. Many found him a willing friend, charitable and sincere. Active in the Met Club affairs and as typist for second McCaffrey, John was a man with an objective who seldom permitted himself to be distracted or diverted from the goal upon which he focused his energies. It was felt that John would discharge his duties with ability and sympathetic understanding that would rank him high in his chosen career of chemical engineering. ROBERT J. BURNS B.S. in History, 1 Emory St., Jersey City, N.J. Among Bob’s most memor- able experiences during his tenure at the Mount was qualifying for the Monsignor Tierney Honor Society after long, diligent work. He was a recognized expert on Latin American affairs and the class’s outstanding French scholar. These accomplishments, plus experiences gained in the extracurriculum, especially in varsity football, he expected to carry with him into the teaching and coaching field. In softball he gained recognition as the “Marty Marion” of the intramural league. He was an excellent con- versationalist and could even be serious when the occasion called for it. “Giggles” had a liking for the opposite sex, but he became especially cautious when marriage was the topic of conversation. ROBERT M. CAHILL B.S. in Economics, 758 Jacques Ave., Rahway, N.J. Nevera worry, never a tear, seldom did he care during his four years at the Mount. Well, almost never. Seriously though, Bob was one of the most liked fellows in the class. He was a former glamour boy of the U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Merchant Marine. His stories on golf, horses, and thirty-six countries will remain a legend to those who heard them. The “Colonel” had a pleasing personality, a genial and gentlemanly disposition. Bab put into practice both portions of the adage “cleanliness is next to Godliness.’ These qualities were mixed with a persuading and contagious sense of humor. 66

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. Through his time at the Mount, Joe was quiet and reserved. His willingness and enthusiasm for picnics and excursions South made him popular on more than one campus. “‘Mo’s” extracurricular interests found their outlet in intramural basketball and in Met Club activities. At test time he could often be found at the library in deep study. Joe, well dressed and often nominated for best looking, was an asset to any group. He wasa grand guy who had much happiness awaiting him in his future. THOMAS J. BRENNAN B.S. in Economics, 20 Sheldon St., Wilkes Barre, Pa. A very sincere and amiable person was Tom. 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

GEORGE B. CALLAN, JR. B.S. in Economics, 504 W. 2nd St., Frederick, Md. George had the appear- ance of being an extremely quiet and dignified gentleman. In more inti- mate circles, however, this air of reserve was thrown off and his ready wit livened up the duller moments of campus life. His indefatigable energy steadied the Mount Orchestra. He was famous for his drum specialties and magical acts. George was one in whom the qualities of proficiency and affability were blended harmoniously. His future was to be worked out in the Army and later in the wholesale automotive parts business. THOMAS K. CARINI B.S. in Mathematics, 27 Lincoln Ave., Jamesburg, N.J. Tom, pleasant and reserved, will be a source of memories to those of his acquaintance. Friday night rides to the movies, war stories from the Mediterranean theatre (he won the war in Italy), hour long showers, and physics lab cleanup man best illustrate him. Equipped with the quick mind of a Latin father and the sturdy limbs of a Teutonic mother, Tom was equally adept with either book, golf club, or baseball bat. A conscientious honor student and PrRIDWIN staff member, Tom was the completely stable type who knew where he was going and worked unceasingly to get there. Tom would strive to secure his future in business and industry. WILLIAM J. CAVANAUGH, JR. B.S. in English, 13 Alma St., Waterbury, Conn. The “biggest”’ little man on campus was probably “Junior,” the president of the Athletic Associa- tion and captain of the 1952 baseball team. From the time he awoke in the morning till the time he retired at night, he always carried a friendly smile on his Irish face. He was often seen strolling around campus whistling or singing a gay tune. In addition to his labors in the A.A., Bill was also active as an Echo sportswriter, as vice-president of the Connecticut Club, and as a member of the Shamrock and Monogram Clubs. At Emmitsburg High, where he did his practice teaching, he quickly became popular among his pupils. He expected to be called into the Army before getting a chance to become an educator in Connecticut. 67
