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

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. He was active in teaching many students the ways and means of water safety and life saving. This Navy veteran was ever mindful of his purpose. Bob worked with a consistency that won one’s admiration. Of a pleasing demeanor and unassuming attitude, Bob was a man destined to succeed. Although his future plans were indefinite, it was safe to say that he would do a fine job because of his strength of character, pluck, and courage. JOHN J. DENMAN, JR. 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

GIRARD R. DONAHOE B.A. in English, 1213 Green Ridge St., Scranton, Pa. Incomparable en- thusiasm, with an air of friendliness that attracts, was always the impres- sion Jerry left. An import from the Old South, he blended easily into Mount life. Jerry was prominent in all lines of activity and will be remembered for his work on the Pripwin and Echo staffs, the Junior Prom committee, and as chairman of the Red Cross blood drives. Pleasant and congenial, he was always ready to render assistance, as the girls of the Valley will attest. Jerry left behind many friends, staunch and loyal. If ability, personality, and sincerity would lead to success, Jerry was surely to reach the heights in the food and brokerage fields. AUSTIN C. DOUGHERTY B.S. in Economics, 237 N. 2nd St., Wormleysburg, Pa. “Doc” had a pleasant characteristic way of always seeing the brighter side of life, a happy faculty to possess. His personality and dependability were clearly attested to by his host of friends. Endowed with enthusiasm and a sense of humor that made many gatherings successful, his presence was always welcome. Dur- ing his stay at the Mount “Doc’”’ was active in intramural sports. He and Sam Pease seemed like commuters because of their many trips to Harris- burg to visit their respective wives. This able veteran was expected to be successful during law school and life, if determination could be any measure of accomplishment. EDWARD J. DuBOIS, JR. B.S. in English, 186-17 Foch Blvd., St. Albans, N.Y. As an English major Kd did his best to master the subject. He took every English course the College offered in the last four years, accumulating thirty-eight credit hours. His courses were supplemented by his being one of the best-read members of the class. Teaching English in New York was his post-graduate ambition. Ed was a deep thinker and a forthright philosopher. He was ordinarily very quiet, but once in awhile his ringing laughter would echo through the halls of McCaffrey. He was always a perfect gentleman and rarely complained about anything. He was also appreciative of music and played the trumpet with proficiency. His friendly nature made him wel- come among any group. 12
