NELSON F. DEAL B.S. in History, 308 N. Locust St., Hagerstown, Md. In every conception of the word, Nelson was a gentleman. He was a diligent scholar as his membership in the Monsignor Tierney Honor Society attested. He was admired for his quietness and reserve and envied for his modest manner. His activity in campus organizations was noted especially by his Pripwin, Echo, Band, and Orchestra memberships. He was a varsity cross-country- man and intramural sports enthusiast. Although attached to the Mount, he frequently spent weekends in Hagerstown and Williamsport. Nelson always respected the rights of others and was a man of deep religious con- victions. 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. He was calm, easy-going, and pleasant, with a disposition that just could not be ruffled. Energetic and resourceful, Bob always took an active part in intramurals and social affairs.

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

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

RICHARD L. DeSANDRE B.S. in Boology, 2032 Liberty St., Trenton, N.J. ‘““Punchy”’ was a solid mass of 200 pounds with a myriad of likable features, all of which were over- shadowed by his catching laugh. He had the happy faculty of being able to parallel the modern thinker or the college rah-rah boy whenever the occa- sion arose. At most times he was quiet and unassuming, and frequently given to deep periods of concentration. He talked incessantly of Ann, new records and the latest short stories. ‘‘Rich” could always be found in the middle of the biggest talking sessions, usually provoking the laughter. He was extremely well-liked by one and all, winning friends with his generosity and quick wit. JOSEPH W. DEVLIN A.B. in Philosophy, 301 Beideman Ave., Camden, N.J. Studying for the diocese of Camden, Joe entered the Mount Seminary in September of 1951 after completing three years at St. Joseph College in Philadelphia. While at the Mount, Joe was a member of the Schola Cantorum, the Academia Society, and the St. John Chrysostom Society. He was to remain at the Mount Seminary for his four years of theology in preparation for the holy priesthood. JOHN J. DOHERTY B.S. in Economics, 194 North St., New Britain, Conn. An equal smattering of studying, sports, and girls was ““Doc’s” remedy for all man’s ills. He was always being called to the phone, even, to his dislike, during study hours. He firmly believed that a student could always catch up on his st udies after falling behind, which could account for his status as an honor student. John was a respected man with the flashlight, pad, and pencil at eleven o’clock, but just as welcome when he made the rounds with Camel samples. In springtime, he spent much of his time teaching the younger Mountmen the art of driving golf balls and pitching softball. As a golfer, he was a captain of the Mount varsity, and as a pitcher, owned the only no-hit game in intramural history. 71
