JOHN F. SCHRAMM B.S. in Economics, 11 Carlton St., Binghamton, N.Y. Maybe he wasn’t the world’s worst bridge player, but his down four, doubled, vulnerable hands became famous. In spite of his good resolutions to “‘really study this term,” John would always let the hours slip by playing intramurals, pinochle, bridge, reading late at night, or just touring in the ““Rockney.’’ Still, he managed to excel in German. His greatest interest, outside of overbidding at bridge, was to be found in Binghamton in the lovely person of his wife, Cathy. Although he might never be another Herbert Hoover, with his en- joyable outlook on life, happiness could not elude him. HAROLD F. SCULLY B.S. in Biology, 11 Tower Pl., Danbury, Conn. One of the Danbury hatters, with a perpetual smile, was “‘Scul.’”’ Although he could often be found play- ing a three no-trump bid or engaged in a hot pinochle session, he really knew his way around the biology lab. Always quick with a pointed remark, no one could say he could not bear the brunt of a joke. Ever ready to “town down” in Rhody’s car, his antics in the Ad building will never be forgotten. On the serious side, Harold was always able to settle down to study, which he planned to continue at New York Medical School. CHARLES A. SHARPE A.B. in English, 116 E. Ridge St., Coaldale, Pa. Charlie commanded the — respect and best wishes of every senior since he joined the class. Full of 7 enthusiasm, endowed with a keen mind, this staunch Mountaineer light- ened many of the drab moments with his subtle wit and humor. Diligent and scholarly, he had a peculiar craving for discussing literature and phi- losophy. Charlie came to us smiling brightly, and life here has been brighter since. Thanks are due Pennsylvania for sending him. It would be hard to find the equal of one so frank, sincere, and loyal as Charlie. 93

LUCIEN C. ROBINSON B.S. in Economics, 2409 39th Pl., N.W., Washington 7, D.C. It was not unusual during the basketball season to see Cawood at Memorial Gym, with a copy of Plato’s Republic in one hand, some players’ equipment in the other, while an understanding team member listened sympathetically to his explanation of the Washington Redskins’ latest loss. He was an avid supporter of all sports, and especially of Mount and Washington teams. His five feet eleven inches of weighty masculinity provided him with the constitution necessary for his long, late hours spent in bull sessions, usually discussing ethics, sports or food. At the latter he was a recognized con- noisseur and frequently was seen driving his 1940 Chevrolet off to Shotties’ for a steak dinner. JOHN T. ROOHAN B.S. in Biology, 167 Spring St., Saratoga Springs, N.Y. Included among the extracurricular activities of the popular Student Council president, John Roohan, were the Shamrock Club, International Relations Club, J.V. basketball, intramural sports, Junior Prom committee, St. John Berchman’s Society, Pripwin, and Holy Name Society. In addition, he was co-chair- man of the Red Cross blood drive. “Big John” was highly successful as the representative of student interests with the Administration and demon- strated definite qualities of leadership and stability. To his particular liking were parties, bull sessions, magazines, efficiency, and basketball. His faithful Ford was a familiar sight on the St. Joe campus. His constant smile and ready greeting won for him a host of friends on the Mount St. Mary’s campus. A. W. ROSE B.S. in Economics, 909 Cedar Ave., Scranton, Pa. Al, a lively Navy veteran, seems bound to be heard wherever he goes. He formulated his own opin- ions and could often be found expounding views in a bull session. En- thusiastic about sports, Al starred in varsity basketball and in many intra- mural sports. Afternoons and weekends seldom found him in his room, but he could be seen heading toward the gym, New York, or points South. Well dressed, Al felt the attraction of the fairer sex, but he showered his attention upon Gladys. A very determined and exact individual, he should not find his journey through life difficult. 92

JOHN A. SMITH B.S. in Economics, 11 Louis St., New Brunswick, N.J. The two main i nterests of the ex-M.P. from Jersey were sports and girls. In the former he will be remembered as the ace “fireman” of the Mount baseball squad or as the record-smashing bowler in the Emmitsburg Recreation Center. In the latter, his White House and Valley operations spoke for themselves. However, “‘Smitty’s’”? mind must have been occupied with other things since he was among the top men of the class and a Monsignor Tierney Honor man. Beneath his neat dress, constant preparedness for a laugh, and steady smile, there was a very serious-minded young man, practical and industri- ous, with definite ideas and standards. Until about ten o’clock all had to be quiet, but once he had found his glasses, washed, and had coffee, “Smitty” became himself again. JOSEPH G. SNIVELY B.S. in English, 237 Kruger St., Elm Grove, Wheeling, W.Va. This former Navy weatherman first came to the Mount in 1948 an obscure freshman. In his four years here, ““Red’’ achieved prominence among his classmates and in his studies. Because of his scholarly work and leadership, he was selected for every honor society, including the national Who’s Who. Active on the Echo, Junior Prom committee, and Student Council. Red certainly had a well rounded education, having tasted a little of every course offered. A staunch advocate of the Arthur Murray system, Joe could often be seen twinkle teeing it in the Vets or in Frederick. Generous and loyal, Joe’s future may not have been in teaching, but it surely was promising at graduation time. HARRY F. STESKEL B.S. in Biology, 78-04 86th St., Glendale, L.I., N.Y. His personality was jovial, generous, sincere, persevering, and understanding. Such a combina- tion of qualities as these put Harry high in the esteem of all who knew him. A real conqueror in the “battle of the Valley,” he held highest among his collection of memories the incident of his being trapped in the Green Room by droves of anxious young ladies. Socially, he was in demand every- where; morally, he was deep and definite. He was always a welcome con- tributor to bull sessions, where his priceless witticisms commanded the at- tention of all. Though a truly scientific thinker, Harry had a deep appre- ciation for the esthetic values of life, which should prove an asset to him in pursuit of his career in osteopathy. 94
