JOHN B. CUSKELLY B.S. in History, 52-17 Skillman Ave., Woodside, L.I., N.Y. ‘Cus’ was one of the few on campus who could fill the title of ‘“‘old man of the Mountain.”’ He was a Navy veteran with the accompanying maturity that was ex- emplary to fellow students on many occasions. His Student Council and scholastic records bear testimony to his qualities of leadership. He was often seen driving a 1941 Chevrolet, of which he was one-third owner, toward Emmitsburg to attend “business”? meetings at the Vets. Known as “the good doctor,” John always met his patients in the infirmary with a cheerful greeting. He was easy to get along with, and his only fault was his tendency to borrow ties from his roommate and medical assistant, Phil Jasper. eee le i te a eens eee nite rie as a WILLIAM R. DAILEY | B.S. in Accounting, 38 State St., Manchester, N.Y. Bill was a man with the strength of character to follow out his convictions, as evidenced in his campaign for Student Council presidency. Without creating an atmosphere of false sophistication, he always said and did the right thing at the right time. In his generosity and consideration for one’s feelings he excelled. His congenial nature, ready smile, and assistance were instrumental in drawing scores of friends to his side. “Shaky,” an Air Force veteran, was a man of few words but many deeds. He was a popular figure at neighboring women’s colleges and a strong advocate of picnics. If his record gave any indication of his future, he was to travel peaceful roads and happiness was bound to be his. | KIERAN J. DALE B.S. in Economics, 631 E. Patterson St., Lansford, Pa. Kieran was a perfect personification of the word “patience.” Having the job of prefect over 100 freshmen might overcome a lesser soul, but Kieran made the job look easy. Always popular with everyone, he was always good for a smoke, a tip before | a test, or a cheery greeting. He was an excellent card player and was usually cast as the favorite to win each game. Through his four years at the Mount, Kieran held a reputation for being a steady operator in the | Valley league. He was a member of the Shamrock, Anthracite, and Inter- national Relations Clubs, St. John Berchman’s Society, and took part in intramural sports. 69

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

He was diligent, energetic, and pleasant. His numerous friends felt assured of his success in the teaching profession. ROBERT T. DEE B.S. in Biology, 61 Devonshire Dr., New Hyde Park, L.I., N.Y.

B.S. in Economics, 24 Pine St., Morristown, N.J. A quiet veteran, keen and observant, a firm and conscientious honor student, in four years he won his way into the hearts of all his colleagues. A most sincere and loyal friend, Jack was a very studious and a diligent person as varsity basketball star, class treasurer, and Junior Prom committeeman. He bore the esteem of his fellow classmates with modesty, and generosity was a principal trait of his character. Jack went forth into the business world with the same calm, cool, collected, yet enthusiastic nature which had been such a pleasure to us all. 70
