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

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

B.S. in Economics, 20 Winfield Pl., L.I., N.Y. Island, Don brought with him to the Mount a wit that could be counted on to ease the tension when the going got rough. His easy-going nature would not be suspected at first glance, for his Irish appearances would seem to indicate otherwise. However, the more people learned of him, the more Don’s popularity. grew. Though not a brilliant student, he never worried about academics and breezed through without much trouble. His carefree attitude was characteristic of his outlook on life, and he was always able to see the brighter side of any unpleasant situation. B.S. in Economics, 141 Circular Ave., Waterbury, Conn. Frank was a quiet and friendly six footer, known to all as a regular fellow. He read copiously —Just ask Frank about a book, any book, and chances are that he has read it. He was deeply attached to home and was justly proud of his Midshipman brother in the Naval Academy at Annapolis. Basketball was a favorite of his, but pool seemed to take preference. He spent many leisure hours looking down a cue stick. The chow hall, movies, and pinochle found in him a true enthusiast. His serious side found him a diligent, suc- cessful student, top man in his class in the Selective Service test. As a generous, easy-going fellow, Frank should find law school and life full of opportunity. FRANK J. MORRA, JR. JOHN P. McKENNEY B.S. in Economics, 107 North St., Danbury, Conn. Possessed with a good sense of humor, good looks, neatness, intelligence, and a firm moral charac- ter, Jack was well liked by fellow. students and faculty members alike. The class president, Holy Name Society president, Who’s Who delegate, Mon- signor Tierney Honor Society member, and National Catholic Honor Society member was always in demand by any group for his endless reper- toire of jokes and songs and all-round congeniality. It was in the field of studies where his serious side took over and best exemplied his prin- ciples of firm convictions and immovable conscientiousness. His more intimate friends referred to him as “Dingbat the Mad Hatter,” since he was another member of the Danbury crew. A veteran, Jack expected to go into sales work after June 4. DONALD A.
