ADALBERTO R. GONZALEZ B.S. in Biology, 1210 Wilson Ave., Santurce, Puerto Rico. Al, sometimes known as “Chi-Chi,”’ will always be remembered when we reminisce of our college days. His happy and easy-going nature was communicated to us by friendly smiles and pleasant words. Sincerity and understanding matched with politeness were qualities found in Al. His nickname, ‘““Mombo,”’ came from his agility on the dance floor and his assistance in teaching others the finer techniques of intricate Latin steps. ““Chi-Chi’” participated in intramurals, but really made his mark in the Valley as one of the most attentive personalities to operate in the league. Al had the drive and de- termination to carry him far in the world, although his immediate future was to be directed by his favorite Uncle. BS Rn ART oy AD ANN ae i a ema taee me WILLIAM J. GORMAN B.S. in Economics, 11 Lowe St., Wharton, N.J. A popular man around the campus, Bill proved from the start, with his first speech in freshman public speaking, that he was an able conversationalist. As often as not he would be boosting his home town high school or describing his affection for Edythe. Not limited in abilities, he was a good man with a cue stick and was equally adept at basketball. He played on the junior varsity for two years, but was forced to stop because of a knee injury. Bill could always be counted on as a fourth for pinochle, and was always obliging to one and all in matters large and small. JOSEPH M. GOUGH B.S. in Accounting, Leonardtown, Md. He did not care too much for sports, but “‘Sugar-throat” did very much enjoy keeping his roommates awake all hours of the night while he read a novel. One of his favorite pastimes was taking part in bull sessions about experiences in the service. Like his roommates, Cosenza and Murphy, he was a great lover of fiendish schemes and spent many hours dreaming them up. Joe mastered a long list of extracurricular activities, most noteworthy of which are Who’s Who, Monsignor Tierney Honor Society, and the Delta Epsilon Sigma Honor Society. His even-temperedness and congeniality would be of service to him as an accountant or banker. His favorite expression was ““Ding-how!”’ 717

RICHARD F. GAUGHAN B.S. in Economics, 37-41 81st St., Jackson Heights, New York, N.Y. Al- though he seemed to be of a serious nature, Dick was gifted with a good sense of humor. While at the Mount he was an active student, pitching wholeheartedly into the work of the K. of C. and the Met Club. In senior year, as president of the Shamrock Club, he directed its many activities. His favorite pastime was to discuss politics, society, etc. in sociology class or in his room. If not resting, Dick was found either in the telephone room, down the back road, or looking for his car. As a well-disciplined, moderate, and conscientious gentleman, Dick was expected to find the life of a naval officer enjoyable. JOSEPH F. GELISH B.S. in Biology, 1416 E. 57th St., Brooklyn, N.Y. Joe was the man who accomplished while others merely planned. He was one of the most con- genial and well-balanced students that the Mount had in many a day. His cheerful disposition would have been a noticed absence from any gathering. A chosen member of Who’s Who, the Delta Epsilon Sigma Honor Society, Joe was elected vice-president of the Monsignor Tierney Honor Society. His quick mind, active intellect, and enthusiasm in his studies were obvious from his record. Not scholastically alone did “‘Nick’”’ excel, for his feats on the football field and in intramural sports impressed in the minds of all an exceptional Mountaineer. Joe, a fine fellow and friend, went forward to Georgetown Med School rightly confident that the future held success for him. JAMES E. GLUTH, JR. B.S. in English, 143 Lowell Ave., Trenton, N.J. Jim was the jovial and studious son of the Garden State who diligently applied himself through four years at the Mount. His ability as a scholar made him eligible for membership in the Monsignor Tierney Honor Society. He took active interest in class activities, the K. of C., and the St. John Berchman’s Society. Jim was the man responsible for the efficient distribution of the Echo and was recognized by all as having filled his office dependably. In his participations at religious and social functions he showed himself to be a Catholic gentleman. A fixed state of mind and careful consideration of all factors indicated a stable future for this aspiring teacher. 76

GERARD L. GREEN B.S. in Chemistry, 15 Church St., LeRoy, N.Y. Thoughtfulness, considerate- ness, and friendliness were the noteworthy traits of “Big Jer.” His high standards and ability led directly to his election as Grand Knight of the K. of C. In addition, he served the class as its efficient secretary-historian for four years. He fulfilled numerous other offices such as N.F.C.C:S. delegate, photographer for both the PRipwin and the Echo, vice-president of the Camera Club, and right-hand man to the Chaplain, Father Gordon. A truly Christian gentleman, Jerry was outstanding for his vigorous, con- scientious observance of duty. An interesting conversationalist, he was well-known for his lengthy explanations of photography, philosophy, or experiences in Tokyo. He was a friend of all and a friend to all. Happiness was assuredly before him if his future was to compare with his brilliant record, MARTIN A. GREEN B.S. in History, 3 Lexington Ave., Danbury, Conn. It was in the first foot- ball game of 1948 that the “Boner” first brought himself into prominence. That year his quarterbacking was a vital factor in ending a long Mount losing streak. His fondest memory is the 42-6 upset of Catholic U. in 1950. Already an accomplished scout, Marty intended to coach after graduation. A typical Danbury man, he wore a hat at all times to keep a neighbor working. His only fault was that he never had a match. His favorite pastimes were extolling the virtues of married life, listening to Frankie Laine, and getting ten hours’ sleep each day. Since his marriage to the former Miss Jane Young, he quieted down a great deal. EUGENE L. GUNNING A.B. in Philosophy, 2523 Birncy Ave., Scranton, Pa. Gene came to Mount St. Mary’s in 1950 after graduating from St. Charles College in Catonsville, Md. While here, he was an active member of the Bishop Walsh Mission Unit, the St. John Berchman’s and St. Francis De Sales Societies, and was proficient as a meteorologist. Having completed his philosophical studies, he planned to pursue further training in the theology department of Mount St. Mary’s Seminary in preparation for the holy priesthood. 78
