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

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

JOSEPH G. CHARLES B.S. in Economics, 175 Marine Ave., Brooklyn, N.Y. Joe was an earnest, enterprising student, a veteran in the war of words, and was aptly given the nickname of ‘“IT'wenty Questions.’”’ He was a capable leader, always ready to assist, whether the work be mental or physical. Joe was befriended and respected by innumerable Mountaineers. He distinguished himself as editor of the Prrpwin, president of the Shamrock Club, chairman of the Junior Prom committee, Grand Knight of the K. of C., “‘veep” of the class and Student Council, and literary and makeup editor of the Echo. Joe thrived on the late hours, debating with anyone awake. He was an avid bridge fan, but still found time for intramurals. Occasionally, around test time, he would even study. FRANK R. COLLIER B.S. in Biology, 22 Green Lane, Levittown, N.Y. Frank proved his versa- tility in many activities, being a fine student, a good artist, and a better- than-average barber. He was an outstanding athlete and participated in most intramural sports. During the Shamrock Club field events Frank represented our class well as he accumulated points while flying across the cinders, leaving opposing sprinters behind in the dust. Frank was an exemplary Catholic gentleman and student, a credit to Mount St. Mary’s. He gained the respect of his fellow students for being a hard worker, a thrifty, yet typical Mountaineer, and for his unselfishness in helping puzzled students at all times. Frank will be remembered by his close friends as the D’Artagnan of the fabulous musketeers. His future was to unfold as he journeyed through medical school. PASQUALE A. COSENZA B.S. in History, 325 Lamokin St., Chester, Pa. A broad smile, a cheery “hello,” and a smooth, even temper were the trademarks of Pat Cosenza. He distinguished himself in varsity football and in all the intramural events as both a good sportsman and a good sport. His soft-spoken, subtle sense of humor was a welcome addition to any bull session. His chief topics of conversation were his experiences in Japan and with the “gang around home.” An easy-going fellow, he followed the lines of least resistance. Once in a while, around test time, he managed to get in a few hours of study in spite of himself. He was also a popular prof. among his pupils in Taney- town High School. BS 68
