Tus was a good class. It started off as one of the largest in Mount history. It began in an uncertain period when war clouds burst. By the time it had completed its reign, it was only a miniature of its original self. But the solid nucleus that remained was the heart of the school .. . In our first year, we were raw, fresh, new, inex- perienced. Hazing caught us in its web. We saw the passing of football and glided to Claude Thorn- hill’s Homecoming strains in the brand-new Memorial Gym. We elected Frank Anello class president. We followed our court team to a super- successful season and all the way to the Catholic Tournament in Albany. We promenaded at the May- flower in Washington and threw a big spring dance in the new gym. At year’s end we voted for Joe Fitzgerald to direct us as Sophs. We were through our rookie season and were ready to move up the ladder in prominence. As Sophs we were Slobs. John Carosi led us in the hilarious rituals and threw smokes to the mob. It was a time of take two, constant card playing, serious circuit men and a poor basketball season. We marched to Conquest and stuck around to atone for it. We selected Tibby Brown to prexy us as Juniors, and Karam, Defebo and LaPosta to represent us on the Student Council. At the end we agreed it was a year of preparation. The next year was the one when we really came into our own. With ““Gabe” supervising operations, : Nerds ae Pe SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS: Seated: Francis J. Anello, Vice President; Thomas F. Brown III, President. Standing: Kanaskie, Treasurer; Donald E. Vacheron, Secretary. 30 we held our Junior Prom in Philly to the unique rhythms of Buddy Williams. It was a tremendous success. The Mount’s hoop squad went through a surprisingly spectacular campaign and outran all expectations. “‘Studey” ran away with the Stu- dent Council presidency. It was a period of hope, confidence and standing on the next-to-the-top step. The final year was the one we had been waiting for. It was satisfying to have that proud Seniorish feeling, but we were still just students. We had a busy time with everyone trying to keep us active; but we still managed to relax as well as we could. We came to understand college in its fullest sense. We needed patience and understanding, but we were also aware that the sand was slipping through our fingers. Each day brought us nearer to our goal but also closer to leaving its source. We saw things as we had never seen them before, in a ne w, revealing perspective. It was the year when we were finished, polished products, ready to venture into rugged, everyday day. We had finished the cycle, climbed the sum- mit, and finally closed our book. But most of all, we gained depth and meaning from returning to God a particle of what He had given us. That was the tonic of the soul. Then we heard the most awakening of campus sounds, the bells, tolling and calling to mind for- ever the Mount as we had lived it.
