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. Throughout his four years at Mount St. Mary’s he gained a reputation for being an in- stigator of pranks. 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. Most commonly known as Bill, and to his intimate friends as ‘“‘Bar Bell,’ he 4 came from the Garden State. He was well known for his desire to become “ — . the successor of Charles Atlas as a body builder, and for his activity in intramurals. Bill had an easy manner and a friendly and sincere smile which accounted for his ability to make friends and keep them. 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. A capable student, John’s chief claim to fame lay in his ability to organize and efficiently execute any job he undertook. Throughout his tenure at the Mount, he was active as a member of the Quartet, Band, Metropolitan Club, International Rela- tions Club, St. John Berchman’s Society, Social Committee, Echo feature staff, PRrpwin business staff, and as an officer in the Student Council, Glee Club, Shamrock Club, and the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine. He had a genuine love of the Mount. His high ideals and deep-rooted principles guided his sensible thinking and proper behavior at all times. His winning smile and friendly spirit made him a class favorite. 88

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

Se 2h eee JOHN T. O’ROURKE B.S. in Economics, 23 Grayson Ave., Trenton, N.J. Everybody will re- member Jack for his amiable personality and even disposition. When things looked darkest he could always be counted upon for a witticism that would bring out the bright side of the situation. During the week Jack took his studies seriously, but when the weekends came his attentions quickly turned to New Jersey. His love for athletics, especially football, found its outlet in the well developed intramural program. As a transfer student Jack blended easily into Mount life. Everyone enjoyed his sense of humor along with his discourses at chow. Though indefinite, his future appeared promising because of his many natural attributes. BERNARD F. OVERBAUGH B.S. in Accounting, 352 Ridge Ave., McSherrystown, Pa. It’s hard to find words to describe Bernie. In both his dealings socially and scholastically, he remained serious and business-like. A little on the quiet side, but never- theless able to appreciate a witticism or wise crack, he left his mark on Mount St. Mary’s. A dayhop, he managed to stay overtime to play intra- mural sports. As a war veteran, he diligently applied himself to his studies, and in keeping with truth, it can be said he left the Mount as a gentleman and a scholar. Although his future was unknown his industriousness was assured to bring him success. SAMUEL J. PEASE B.S. in Economics, 725 N. 2nd St., Steelton, Pa. Sauve, easy-going, well shaved, “Sambo” wasa much traveled young gentleman who was thoroughly familiar with Route 15 between Emmitsburg and Steelton, especially since the new addition to his potentially large family. Sam was always the diligent student that knew where he was going and how to get there. A familiar competitor in intramural sports, he was also active in class affairs. “‘Silent Sam” found many friends at the Mount and his modest, cheerful way pleased all who came to know him. Although Sam’s plans were indefinite, success could not elude this determined individual. 89
