ROBERT C. LEONARD B.S. in History, 42 Davis St., Danbury, Conn. Happy-go-lucky Bob came to the Mount shortly after finishing his tour in the service of Uncle Sam as an M.P. He will be remembered for his pleasant personality, wit, and even temperament, which were always present. ‘“Tonto” excelled in his Spanish classes and made quite a hit with his students while practice teaching. This wiry individual took active part in intramurals and will long be remembered for water battles down at the shacks. When not on campus, Bob was often seen at the Vets or in the vicinity of Frederick. His jovial manner will always remain a fond recollection. JEROME A. LOUGHRAN, JR. B.S. in Economics, 147 Columbia Rd., Ellicott City, Md. A reconstructed Confederate and a staunch southern democrat, Jerry came to us from a suburb of Baltimore. He could be considered a dayhop due to his many jaunts homeward. This likable, self-assured gentleman was an asset to any group, and could be found discussing at length his many social engage- ments. Jerry, a good dresser, had a pleasing appearance and a smooth line that won the hearts of the fairer sex. During the week Jer found time to display his athletic talents in intramurals. A little Irish temper, quick wit, and determination would prove to be assets to his practicing law. FRANCIS X. MALONEY B.S. in Biology, 54 Windsor Pl., Rockville Center, N.Y. In Joe we had a character who was aggresive and discriminating in his academic and social life. Joe’s persuasive voice and manner would stand him in good stead throughout life. He had always been popular because of his pleasantly humorous personality. Joe’s specialty in wit were those short sharp sayings, and only a select few had beat him at his game. The “Monk” was active in intramurals but his favorite sport was golf. A good friend and an able stu- dent, ready to spread news touched with blarney, surely nothing could keep him from his deserved success. Joe planned to enter the field of chemical research for a secure and promising future. 84

erin rl lett ict lee tse sh oss ga ta —— —— - JOHN R. KNIGHTLY B.S. in Economics, 4403 Stuart Ave., Richmond, Va. Just by hearing him speak, one could always tell that John was a citizen of the deep South. An ever-loyal Dixiecrat, he was proud of the recent conquest of the North by the Stars and Bars. He was an avid sports fan, particularly so where the New York Giants were concerned. During football season, John con- tributed much to the heavy third McCaffrey line and in softball was a leading hitter. He was manager of his floor’s basketball team and was a member of the PRipwin business staff. Most of his leisure time was spent in the canteen playing the pinball machine or eating. Throughout his four years, his friendliness was a memorable part of Mountain life. 83 a JOSEPH R. KOWITSKI B.S. in Biology, 310 S. Troutwine St., Centralia, Pa. Joe was a “big”? man on campus, standing five feet eight inches but tipping the scales at a mean 220. Because of his stocky stature he was appropriately named the “Buffalo.” The “Bingo King”’ was noted for his extemporaneous verbal outbursts on any and all students. These ovations were humorous and bore malice to no one. He was friendly but did not force himself on others. ‘‘Buffalo’’ claimed intellectuals require more rest than the average individual; there- fore he was constantly under the influence of Morpheus. He often participated in intramural sports. He was the studious secretary of the Monsignor Tierney Honor Society, yet he was not a bookworm. Reserved but not a bore, he firmly believed in God, sacredness of motherhood, and the New York Yankees. He was equipped with a charitable nature and showed himself to be at ease with anyone. BENJAMIN T. LANDER, JR. B.S. in Economics, 812 Federal St., Lebanon, Pa. To investigate a Mon- signor Tierney honor student who excelled in philosophy, one should have known Ben Lander. They would have found a popular kind of personality. He was so thoughtful of others that he was always offering freshmen rides to any part of the world. An Army veteran who outdid Kilroy, Ben was known as “‘Anzio”’ to his friends. As a rule he was level-headed but became rather fiery when disturbed. He liked popular music and good reading. He followed all sports and was renowned as a hustler on the basketball court. He was a ladies’ man and believed in treating them rough. To him a com- fortable sack was the finest thing in the world.

THOMAS J. McDERMOTT A.B.in Philosophy, 840 River St., Scranton, Pa. Tom came to the Seminary Department of the Mount in 1950 after graduating from St. Charles College, Catonsville, Md. His marked sense of humor aided him in be- coming a loyal Mountaineer during his two years at the Mount. Tom was an active participant in intramural sports and in the Bishop Walsh Mission Unit of the Seminary. After graduation he planned to continue his theo- logical studies for the holy priesthood in our Mountain Seminary, as a student for the Scranton Diocese. JAMES J. McGLINCHEY A.B. in Philosophy, 6344 Redland St., Philadelphia, Pa. Jim, a resident of the city of brotherly love and an Army veteran, was studying for the holy priesthood under the diocese of Oklahoma City and Tulsa. As a seminarian, Jim was a member of the Bishop Walsh Mission Unit, St. John Chrysostom Society, and the Academia Society. After spending three years in the College, he entered the Mount Seminary in 1951, where he was to carry out his theological studies necessary for the priesthood. PATRICK J. McKENNA, JR. B.S. in Biology, 33 DuBois Ave., Woodbury, N.J. A person who was quiet and unassuming and always considerate was “Freddy.” He was a true lover of sports and spent many hours playing basketball in the gym or softball on Echo Field. He distinguished himself as a real hustler in the intramural program. His chief indoor sports were working crossword puzzles or taking an active part in bull sessions. At the end of the sopho- more year, when Jim McGlinchey moved over into the Seminary, Joe found himself without his closest buddy. A good student, with a deep sense of responsibility to supplement his ever-ready sense of humor, his post-graduate hope was to go to medical school and become a doctor in Woodbury. 85
