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

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

JOHN E. MURPHY B.S. in Accounting, 1201 W. 3rd St., Chester, Pa. Whenever a prank was played, it was certain that “Murph” was not far away.

He was always in demand by any group looking for a good laugh, and with his bright Irish smile was always ready to oblige. A noted satirist, one of his chief topics was the administration. His pet peeves were the Friday night and Saturday morning accounting classes. His four years of energetic study were rewarded by his nomination to the Monsignor Tierney Honor Society. During his senior year he was elected president of the Adelphi Society after spending junior year as treasurer. WILLIAM T. O°GRADY B.S. in Mathematics, 1271 Beaumont Ave., West Englewood, N.J.

It will be .) oe difficult for the dwellers of first McCaffrey to forget his short walks to the e x light switch about 10 p.m., and his frequent invitations to walk through ag the mountains, regardless of the weather. Bill’s sense of responsibility and loyalty to his friends will make him long remembered by those who knew te: : him. JOHN F. O’NEILL B.S. in Biology, 24 Correja Ave., Iselin, N.J.

His winning smile and friendly spirit made him a class favorite. 88
