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. McKEW Born and bred on Long 86

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

JOHN B. MORRISON B.S. in Economics, 122 Elton St., Providence, R.I. “Rhody,” and apt was his name, was the little man from the little state of Rhode Island. He came here many moons ago and made an impressive record during his stay. A true gentleman and friend, he could always be counted on for support and friendly advice. Active in all intramural sports, “Rhody” shone in the 1949 St. Patrick’s day field meet when he was the outstanding athlete of the day and did much to garner the trophy for the class. With the quick wit and ready smile, he left the Mount with many friends. With his per- sonality, the future looked bright for John during and after graduate school. EUGENE D. MULLIGAN B.S. in Economics, 4309 37th St., N.W., Washington, D.C. Gene came to the Mount at the beginning of the junior year. He had a quiet sense of humor and a laugh that made him a most popular person among all with whom he associated. His personality always enlivened: those about him, and it was truly a great pleasure to enter into his spirit of good humor. Active and agile, Gene was an asset to his intramural teams. He was also in demand as a chess and, especially, a pinochle player. Gene’s calm dis- position and even temper were envied by all. A forecast of a cloudless future for him has all the potentialities of being borne out. FRANK V. MULLIGAN B.S. in Mathematics, 2406 University Ave., Bronz, N.Y. Frank was often called “The Lover,” particularly by one member of the faculty. Aside from this, he was simply and affectionately called ‘““Mull.’’ His interests were varied, but the center of his extracurricular activity was a certain young lady from the Valley and New York. He found time to participate in Band, Glee Club, and Met Club activities and intramural sports. While attending the Mount, Frank developed that Mountain spirit which builds up the character, especially in spiritual and Christian ideals. On the humor- ous side, his incisive witticisms seemed to predominate. Engaged in a “‘slam”’ session, Frank was quite able to hold his own ground. These main characteristics, all blended in a fine proportion, went to make up that swell guy, Frank Mulligan. 87
