CUTHBERT I. FENWICK, JR. B.S. in Economics, Leonardtown, Md. Hailing from southern Maryland, Bert brought along his genial smile and pleasant disposition. Unassuming, sincere, and true, he made friends with everyone who came in contact with him. His natural ability for learning made him an honor man of the class. His smiling countenance was ever present at social affairs and class func- tions. OI’ Bert was active in intramural sports and was in constant demand as a pinochle player. Whether he continued his studies at law school or entered directly into the business field, his future seemed destined to be happy and prosperous. CONRAD D. FOSTER B.S. in Science, Hilton Park, Highlands, N.J. To judge by his stature, one would think Highlands, N.J., Conrad’s home town, was partially named after the altitude at which his blond head moved through the atmosphere. In his large frame there was a big heart which loved many things, including his pet cat, Thomas, people in general, girls in particular, his white sweater, and his oh-so-blue Mercury which transported many weary and thankful Mountaineers back to home base from various hitching posts. Kind Conrad had the nickname “Lightning,” which was usually applied to his driving or his walking speed, the former more seriously than the latter. It was more fitting, however, when applied to his speedy and unquestioning generosity to one and all. JAMES J. FREEMAN B.S. in History, Fairfield, Pa. Jim was a man with one of the most even dispositions in the senior class. He was a hard worker, honor student, gentleman, and sincere friend to all. He was active in intramural sports and a dependable varsity football player. Although ‘‘Tiger” was not a social lion, he possessed all the qualities of the regular fellow, and was admired by all. This Navy veteran had keen interest in class affairs, the Echo, and Adelphi society. His plans for the future included attendance at Temple University’s Law School. His abilities guaranteed a prosperous life. 74

EDWARD J. DUNPHY, JR. B.S. in Economics, 9747 Shore Rd., Brooklyn, N.Y. That tall, good-looking, bespectacled fellow usually seen either taking part in some sports event or at the Vets was the ““Dunph.” A notable athlete, he participated in all the intramural events during his four years at the Mount. He was also a member of the Shamrock Club, Met Club, and Knights of Columbus. A s a freshman he played J.V. basketball and varsity baseball. He was a staunch supporter of the Dodgers and spent many hours extolling their glories. He was a lover of a good bull session and a good laugh. His pet gripe was the eleven o’clock curfew. Ed hoped to attend law school after he graduated, but expected General Hershey to have the last word about this. | ROBERT T. DUTROW, JR. | B.S. in Economics, 313 Willow Ave., Frederick, Md. Bob was the stabiliz- | ing factor so necessary for the general rounding out of the education of the class as a whole. He was one of those congenial good fellows with an answer toany question and willingness to discuss it at length. He was ever willing to lend a helping hand to someone in distress. Determination to succeed won this veteran the esteem of his classmates. Bob was a married dayhop and had one lovely child. His future business associates would probably learn, as his classmates and friends already knew, that when it came to reliability, honesty, and sincerity, it would be hard to find the counterpart of this gentleman. EDWARD F. EGAN B.S. in Economics, 1412 A St., S.E., Washington, D.C. Born in Boston, Ed called Washington his home for the past nineteen years, though he still carried traces of his Beantown accent. His knowledge of the nation’s capital proved helpful to many Mountmen who went there for weekends. He was a Bradley Hall resident as a senior and gave guidance to many freshmen in matters ranging from Aristotle to the citizenry of the Valley. Ed was the type who could balance his studies, social life, and athletic activities so that none were neglected. In both cards and life, he was a past master of the game of “hearts” and was outstanding as a debater in the field of philosophy. 73

ROBERT J. GARDZALLA, JR. A.B. in Philosophy, 258 Buttonwood St., Plymouth, Pa. After graduating from St. Charles College, Catonsville, Md., Bob entered the Mount Semin- ary in 1950. Efficient and scholarly, he had in a short time become a true Mountaineer. He contributed his talents and abilities to the St. John Berch- man’s Society, the Bishop Walsh Mission Unit and intramural sports. Bob was studying for the holy priesthood under the Scranton Diocese. His al theological training was also to take place at Mount St. Mary’s Seminary. ed SS 4 ° THOMAS GASPER, JR. B.S. in Biology, 1739 Williams Way, Morristown, Pa. “Gratz,” the old married man of first McCaffrey, had never shown the slightest taint of that demon, Selfishness, while here at the Mount. A firm believer in the Moun- tain spirit of symbiotic relationship and noted for his golden heart, he was recognized throughout the class as the man to see when your wallet yearned hungrily, for he shared his money interminably and indiscrimin- ately. ‘Gratz’ combined this golden heart with honesty, integrity, and sincerity in all he did, thereby endearing himself to those who were fortu- nate enough to know him well. Tom took active interest in the Adelphi Society, Italian Club, and was an enthusiastic competitor in intramural sports. Tom often had the urge to roam, and on weekends journeyed home to his lovely wife, Margaret. STEPHEN A. GATTI, JR. B.S. in Economics, 5019 Sedgwick St., N.W., Washington, D.C. If there cwas ever a person who was justly labeled the “Mark Trail of Mount St. Mary’s,”’ Steve deserved the name. Hunter, fisherman, and trapper, he was an outstanding student of all wildlife. He revived the ancient sport of hawking in Emmitsburg. For the three years prior to his becoming sports editor, he wrote the “Outdoors” column for the Mountain Echo. During his senior year he also was active as a writer for the PRIDWIN, as secretary- treasurer of the Camera Club, and as an intramural football player. Steve was the possessor of a most cheerful disposition and always had a friendly word for everybody. He expected to enter the wholesale grocery business after his Marine Corps commission expired. 75
