JOSEPH F. JONES B.S. in Accounting, 286 W. Market St., Marietta, Pa. Take a person who was mighty proud of his Pennsylvania heritage, a very serious-minded student, a firm believer in life’s genuine things, an easy-going personality, a keeper of an undying faith in the Boston Red Sox, and an owner of an extensive wardrobe, and there would be “Junior” Jones. His stories of hometown incidents earned him the title “Herb Shriner of the Mount.” In farming he was considered an authority. He was a member of the Mon- signor Tierney Honor Society and an office-holder in the Glee Club, where he was a stalwart for four years. After graduation, he expected to go into the Marines, and from there, to the F.B.I. JOHN D. JOY B.S. in Accounting, 61 Arden Rd., Waterbury, Conn. ‘Nifty’? was another Connecticut Yankee who stood ready to tell of anyone of note who ever came from the Nutmeg State. A man of deep thoughts and excellent habits, he could always be expected to do the proper thing. His knowledge of sports established him as an authority in that field. He had a keen ear for music of the classical variety and a pronounced dislike for modern jazz. “Nifty’s” nickname was derived from his fine sense of humor, his ready wit having been in constant demand by any group. Seriousness and conscientiousness directed his studying, resulting in his being a forthright student. His post-graduate plans included the U.S. Navy and accounting. DONALD R. KEARNS A.B. in Economics, 250 Alfred St., Biddeford, Me. Don was the state of Maine’s lone representative in the Mount class of 1952. Better known as the “‘Sheik,”’ he will best be remembered for the long hours he spent practic- ing on the trumpet and writing twelve-page letters to his girl friends. He was-quiet and friendly. A deep philosophical thinker, Don was a serious and conscientious student. He was outstanding as a member of the school band, as an Echo sportswriter, as a cross-country runner, and warden of the K. of C. Council. Don was not worried about Uncle Sam’s interference with his hopes of going to graduate school, since he was a veteran of the Marine Corps. 81

THOMAS J. HOWARD A.B. in English, 18 William St., Waterbury, Conn. Quiet and conscientious was Tom. However, in him there existed a heart of gold. Always willing to help in studies, he was a constant source of practical and scholarly advice. To his classmates he stood as a reminder that honest effort and de- termination produce a fine Christian gentleman. Tom’s scholastic achieve- ments were acknowledged by his selection to Who’s Who and election as president of the Delta Epsilon Sigma Honor Society. His vigor and ability went into his work as copy editor of the Echo and literary editor of the Prip- win. Tom knew no vices but often displayed a keen wit and subtle humor. He was active in intramurals, selected for the senior all-star football team. With Tom’s talents and sharp intelligence a bright future assuredly awaited him in the teaching profession. WILLIAM J. INMAN A.B. in History, 316 E. Pine St., Athens, Pa. Bill impressed us by his clean-cut manner and his avowed determination to master his work. He was chosen member of all honor societies, topped with the distinction of being selected for Who’s Who. He was modest, a keen observer, and a most diligent worker with firm confidence in himself. Billy was ready to absorb a pointed joke or to match it with a like one. He was a dependable member of the St. John Berchman’s Society and Prrpwy staff. Bill felt the realiza- tion of his hopes and the attainments of his ideals would be found in a happy future in the teaching profession. PHILIP J. JASPER B.S. in Biology, 305 Pine Ave., South Amboy, N.J. Phil, a tall, quiet-man- nered son of the Garden State, was that welcome combination of student and sportsman. His easy-going manner belied his plucky and plugging nature. The record in his studies is ample proof of constant “book crack- ing’’ and his readiness to join in any sport at any position testifies to his pluckiness. When at the books, little or nothing disturbed him, but a casual “how’s for a game of chess, Phil?” was challenge enough to force the president of the Chess Club from all scholastic endeavor. For those few times when he was not fulfilling the tedious life of student, or dispensing green pills at the infirmary, Phil could have easily been found in the nearby fields with his hound dog, Reet. ‘‘After all,” he’d say, “I can’t let school interfere with my college career.” 80

ROBERT J. KEENE B.S. in Biology, 1242 Greenwood Ave., Trenton, N.J. Bob was a man who liked to see the right things done, a man who had his own principles, and under no circumstances could be swayed from them by eloquence or force. In his work, in lab and class, he was looked up to by other students and made himself an honor student. He also took quite an interest in intra- mural basketball and softball. Bob was never heard raising his voice in argument, because he quietly went about his way accomplishing while — others remained indecisive. His earnestness and sincerity to do that which is before him would keep him on the pathway to success. JOSEPH P. KENDER A.B. in English, 342 E. Keifer Ave., Hazleton, Pa. Inimitable enthusiasm, sincerity of purpose, and boundless energy in his every endeavor made Joe an outstanding figure, not alone in class, but also among his friends. His sterling qualities, character, and personality gained him the heart of his fellow classmates. Genial, conscientious, and sincere, Joe will always be a pleasant recollection to his associates. His art work throughout this Pripwin speaks for itself, as did his Glee Club and Quartet experience. An honor student, he made a favorable impression on all with whom he came in contact. Success belonged to him in his chosen profession of teaching. ELWYNN L. KEYSER B.S. in Brology, 442 W. Patrick St., Frederick, Md. ‘Peanuts’ was the student, first, last and always. His keen and clear mind fathomed many a difficult biological or chemical problem. He was at times most jovial and was a popular lad with his classmates and friends. “Peanuts” provided transportation in his junior and senior years for neighboring students from Frederick. He established quite a reputation as a mainstay of the Dance Orchestra and a photographer par excellence. His immediate future plans provided for marriage soon after graduation and his life interest in biological research. 82
