HORAN Dedication Proudly and gratefully, we, the class of 1953, dedicate our jubilee num- ber of the Per Annos to the one who by his great love of learning has in- spired us to seek the higher things of the spiritg to the one who has guided our footsteps along the narrow path of righteousnessg to the one who by his loving care and fatherly solicitude has made our dreams realities, our beloved pas- tor and friend, Reverend Father Horan. E31 llur Bishop His Excellency, MOST REVEREND WALTER A. FOERY, D.D Bishop of Syracuse LH ln Memoriam RIGHT REVEREND NIONSIGNOR PATRICK J. DONOHOE Pastor at St. lVlary,s from 1907 to 1934 Born March 17, 1863 Ordained December 22, 1888 Died August 6, 1952 These things he loved: St. lVlary's Church, with its lofty spires stretching ever heavenward in constant prayer, St. lVlary's Convent, with its endless procession of excellent teachers, wise counselors, and understanding friends, St. Mary's School, with its welcoming doors, drawing children of all ages to the sanctifying knowledge of Cod. t5l History of t. Maryts Sohool ln 1928, under the direction of the Right Reverend Monsignor Patrick Donohoe, St. Mary's School first opened her doors to the children of Cortland. The Right Reverend Monsignor Daniel Doody, V. G., blessed the new school in August, and in September of the same year, classes began. The first year St. Mary's consisted of a kindergarten and the first four grades, under the direction of the Sisters of St. Francis The total registra- tion in 1928 was 178. Today it has in- creased to 436. The first principal, Mother M. lnnocentia, with her first faculty, worked indefatigably to achieve the success which St. Mary's now enjoys. 1 During each of the two successive years, a grade was added. ln September, 1935, the grammar and high school grades were open for registration. Then with a four year high school course in operation, the Board of Re- gents registered the school. Even at this early date in the history of St. Mary's, the school possessed a splendid library, which has increased through the years to its pres- ent capacity of over five thousand volumes. Furthermore, St. Mary,s has one of the best- equipped laboratories in New York State. In the fall of 1932, under the direction of Reverend Martin Watley, sports, including football and basketball, were introduced. At the close of the 1934 football season, Sl. Mary's football team, under the tutelage of Mr. Robert Martin won its first football tro- phy for an undefeated season. St. Maryis early basketball teams, coached by Mr. Harold McEvoy could also boast of many successful seasons. In 1935, the first senior 1 class of seventeen had the singular privilege of becoming the first graduating class of St. Mary's. Now, on her silver jubilee, St. Maryis finds that she has much for which to be grateful. Her wise and considerate pastor, Father Horan, recognizing the necessity for new equipment, installed new desks in the grammar grades, and he also purchased new typewriters and desks for the typing room. New sections of shelves were built in the library to accommodate the influx of books given by many friends. In the not-t0o- distant future, St. Maryis will boast of a new gymnasium, which is now in the plan- ning stage. U Those who have graduated from St. Maryis have proved many times that they have not forgotten her. The swings and teeter-totters which enrich the playtime of the grammar school pupils, and the public address system which is most useful for bas- ketball games and social events, are ever- present reminders of the thoughtfulness and generosity of her Alumni. To the founder of St. Mary's School, the late Monsignor Patrick Donohoeg to the present pastor of St. Mary's, Reverend Law- rence Horang to the assistant pastors, Father John Quirk and Father ,lohn Harrison, to the Sisters of St. Francis, to the Alumni, and to the parishioners of St. Mary'sg the students of St. Mary's School extend their heartfelt thanks and appreciation for the op- portunity to attend and to be a part of St. Mary,s.

He is not only the very ca- pable president of the senior class, but also the very efficient and lovable father of twelve devoted chil- dren Cin HCheaper By the Dozenv, of course.J Yes, we all applauded his superb performance in the senior play. Dick,s main desire after finishing high school is to enter the field of radio and become an announcer. If We may judge by his successful ap- prenticeship at W K R T, we may certainly con- clude that his future career in radio will be on a par with Edward B. lVlurrow's.

The look of a dreamer in Sue Conway s wide blue eyes, gives one the impression that she lives in a land of dreams. To some extent this might be true, but it is not a liability but rather an asset, which she uses to her advantage when writing an essay. Her imposing stature enabled her to ascend to great heights during her four years of high school, and captured for her the role of the brisk-mannered teacher, Miss Brill, in the senior's production of Cheaper By the Dozenv. She is especially inter- ested in French and Latin but never lets them stand in the way of a good square dance. Her ability to make warm, unwavering friendships makes Sue both a delightful classmate and a prized friend. Sodality 1, 2, 3, 4, Dramatics 3, 4, Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4, Per Annos 45 Science Club 1. E121 MARILYN ELIZABETH DESANTA Four feet eleven inches of dynamic energy is Mari- lyn. While most girls occupy their leisure time with cooking or sewing, Marilyn feels more comfortable with a hammer and saw, or a paint brush. Since she is an avid coin collector, camera fan, sports en- thusiast, and mathematical wizard, she rarely eats the bread of idleness. Much of her time is occupied taking care of her mischievous younger sister. Be- cause of her incomparable ability to plan activities and because of her excellent qualities of leadership, Marilyn has become a well-known figure in the halls of St. lVIary,s.

ROBERT CECIL BELL Bob, our abridged edition of Einstein, is right at home amid test tubes and formulas. His keen inter- est in science and mathematics is unmatched by any of his fellow students. Aside from his studies, Bob ably directed the lighting operations for HCheape1' By the Dozenv. Bob is also civic-minded, for he has been associated with the Civil Air Patrol for the past three years, consequently, his spare time is spent in the wild blue yonder. His future will begin with service in the United States Air Force. After this, he plans to enter the diflicult field of aeronautical engi- neering.

His mas- tery of algebra, geometry, and intermediate algebra has won him this coveted title. A broad lrish grin, which he exhibits freely at all times, is Diz,s trade- mark. The Cortland Standard has been associated for many years with Cashion Enterprises, Inc. Dances and out-of-town girls mix well with Diz. ,lohnis future education was somewhat in doubt, but after brief consideration, he has decided to continue his studies at C. S. T. C.

As the skeptical Martha in Cheaper By the Dozen , she gave a con- vincing performance. On her departure she leaves a remarkable scholastic record at St. Mary's that will take its place comfortably among the very best. Not withstanding her special interest in languages, she enjoys such diverse activities as photography, horse- back riding and tennis. Her gentleness and soothing voice will serve her well in her chosen profession-- nursing.

CHARLES JOSEPH CAUGHEY Who is that tall, easy-going senior in the last seat, characterized by his laughing blue eyes and his typically Irish sense of humor? ltls none other than the guardian of the library door, Charlie Caughey, better known to many of us as Joe. Joe's abilities and interests are many and varied, ranging from his creative work with the syrups and ice cream at Marian Margaretis to his attraction to Zane Grey's thrilling Westerns. Maybe about 1960, if Joe real- izes his ambition, we'll see him driving around Cortland in a black Cadillac proudly bearing the license plate-M.D. Clee Club 1, 2, 3, Science Club 1, Sodality 1, 2, 3, 4, Class President 35 Class Vice-President lg Per Annos 4, Dramatics 2, 3, 4g Basketball 2. E151 ROBERT ARTHUR DEXTER Robbie, our football and basketball hero, is St. lVlary,s contribution to the athletic world. His out- standing deeds on the gridiron and the court have won him the respect of his friends and foes. Foot- ball and basketball are not Rob,s only gifts, for his humorous quips have cooled many a warm temper and relaxed many a tense situation. A lover of poetry, Rob has mastered such gems as L'Christmas is coming, the geese are getting fat .... The theater, too, seems to hold an attraction for Robbie as he brilliantly portrayed the diilicult part of J oe Scales, the cheerleader, in our senior play.

I ALICE MARY KEENAN Affectionately called '6Red,', she is a quiet incon- spicuous person who by her very silence makes her- self known. Though an only child, her willingness and dependability in performing classroom and sodality activities have shown that she is far from spoiled. As Jackie in the senior presentation of HCheaper By the Dozenv, she demonstrated her re- markable ability to multiply two digit numbers in her head. Working at VV. T. Grant's after school has satisfied Alicels desire to meet new people, and this interest points naturally to her future career- nursing.

The oldest of five Lanigans, she portrays the role of junior mother to her four younger sisters. Kay has been the class of '53,s con- tribution to the cheerleading squad for the past four years. For six weeks Kay was the abused, misunder- stood, and bewildered eighteen year old girl-Ann Gilbreth fsenior playj.

GEORGE EDWIN DOLAN Since our basketball team was in dire need of height, We imported all six feet three inches of George Dolan from Archbishop Stepinac High School in New York City. George proved talented in many other fields, for he is a precise mathema- tician as well as an outstanding scientist. George's knowledge exceeds the boundaries of the class room in as much as he is a first-class mechanic. He has doctored the Green Ghost Q his carl many a time with surprising results. George will enter the school of engineering at Notre Dame when he finishes his studies at St. lVlary,s. Football 4, Basketball 4g Per Annos Staff 4, Dra- matics 4. E171 WILLIAM EDWARD DOWD Bill is a tall, thin youth whose achievements range from biology to basketball. Bill's quiet personality makes him very popular with his fellow students. His lanky frame and accurate eye combine to make him a coach's delight. During his years at St. lVIary's, Bill has not been fond of mathematics, yet, his amazing mind for facts and figures has made him an authority on the batting average of any major leaguer or the score of any professional bas- ketball game. Furthermore, the touch of his pen can recreate every play and every exciting moment of any sports event.

In spite of the many claims on Vicki's attention, she always finds time 'to help those who ask for aid. She willingly works on com- mittees, plans social events, explains something not quite understood. Her chief attributes are her cheer- ful smile and musical voice, which are often sooth- ing balm for ruffled tempers. A future angel of mercy, Vick spends her leisure time working at the hospital, preparing herself for her chosen career.

I131 MARION VERONICA NATOLI The only girl in the senior class who can walk into school on a miserable Monday morning with a gay smile and a cheerful hello is our Ronnie. Beneath her carefree manner there lies a Hair for art that has kept the class well supplied with posters and at- tractive bulletin board displays. Music is her fore- most love, and her great ambition is to make it her career. If you should wander into St. Anthony's Church some Sunday morning at nine o'clock, you will find Veronica at the organ playing with great depth of feeling, O Lord, I Am Not Worthy .

Any senior could tell you that these appellations belong only to John Dwyer. His imagi- nation and ability to express his ideas in words have won him these coveted titles as well as the position of co-editor of the Per Annos . John is not only a prominent member of the academic world at St. lVlary's, but he is also noted for his athletic prowess and excellent qualities of leadership. When John journeys to South Bend in September, St. Mary's loss will be Notre Dame's gain.

His sympathetic nature prompts him to rise swiftly to any emergency, no matter what it may be. He proves his versatility whether it is por- traying Doctor Burton in uCheaper By the Dozenn, or lighting the stage for any event. His favorite pastime, while not in the studio dark room, is his car, since he is one of the capitalistic car-owning seniors. His future plans are in the 'awild blue yon- derf, Wherever he flies and whatever he does, his easy manner and humor will always win him friends.

Pauline's culinary art and sewing ability make her every boy's dream girl. Whenever there is need for a poster for a dance or a play, Pauline is there to make it.

He may be tabbed as one of the greatest guards ever to don the familiar green and gold uniform, symbolic of St. lVlary's football team. On the basketball court he is a fast and tricky player, proving to be a stellar man under the boards for Coach J im Casey's fighting five. ln the future, Larry plans to be a big Red Dragon at Cortland State Teachers College.

Why Angelo, of course, better known as '6Peanuts.', He assumed the role of business manager during the senior play and also held the same job in the production of the 1953 L'Per Annos . In addition to his business acumen, Angelo is an ardent baseball fan and has his own championship baseball team in Cortland's baseball league. He served as manager of the football and basketball teams for two years, thereby contributing much to the St. lVlary's sport- ing programs. His favorite subject is history, and after graduation Angelo plans to make history by becoming one of Uncle Sam's flying nephews.

E321 TIMOTHY JAMES RAY Teddy is an active member of the Wee Three, better known as that invincible trinity of Dolan, Spottek and Ray. This close association of friends and cars has given Teddy a wealth of knowledge in the field of auto anatomy. Tony Dovi's Home for Wayward Autos provides Teddy with ample specimens on which to practice his many mechanical skills. Dur- ing the autumn months Teddy interrupts his many activities to play football for the blue and gold. Teddy's quiet conduct during the school hours is offset by his adventures with the trinity which com- mence at 3:00 P.lVI. Judging from the past, it is safe to assume that the future for Teddy will involve the fate of the Wee Three.

Serene, talented, and de- pendable are Dick's trademarks. His knowledge of carpentry and electricity reached its peak during the senior play. He is also a prominent member of the 4--H organization.

An ardent sportsman, Bobby loves to hunt, fish, and play football. One of the twelve in uCheaper By the Dozenw, his portrayal of Bill could not have been surpassed by the great Jerry Lewis himself.

E241 Highlights and hadows Alone, oppressed, and unwanted, twenty- six of us little orphans made our way into a great big new world called high school. A feeling of fear mixed with uncertainty gripped our little hearts as we realized that the title of freshmen had descended upon us. We were kept constantly on edge by the ever present seniors. We were caught in the rapids of a human river which tossed us from one class to another. From our fright- ened ranks, however, came forth a few brave mites called football players and cheerleaders. We happy and gay freshmen stumbled and tripped our way through our first dance. We sweated and prayed our way through our first exams. Throughout our first big year in high school, we were on the sidelines watching. Ever observant, ever watchful, we absorbed the ways of our elders. As our first year drew to a close, we picked up our memories, put them into the bag with our dreams and prepared for the journey into the second year. 'LlVIake way for the mighty sophomore! was the cry which resounded in our hearts as we embarked upon our second big year in high school. As the new sophomores we were dripping with glory, Q or so we thoughtj. We had a whole year of high school behind us. Had we not conquered Latin I and elementary algebra? Had we not survived one football season and one basketball season? What more could we do? Some of our golden glory, however, rubbed off when we were introduced to plane geom- etry and Latin II. Footballs, basketballs, and cheers once again dominated our after- noons and evenings. During exam time we found that even the all-knowing sophomores sweated and prayed a little over a test. By the time we had stopped spinning from the flurry of studies and activities, we discov- ered that another year had slipped by. We had a few more memories and a few more 25 dreams to add to our growing collection. By the time our third year rolled around, we were in a rather confused state. We had survived the storms and trials of the pre- vious two years. But now, as juniors, we found ourselves Houndering between the low and the high. We juniors were a little lower than the seniors, but at the same time we were a little higher than the freshmen and sophomores. We didn't let it bother us as we enjoyed our football games and our basketball games, our dances and our par- ties. We became junior partners of that re- nowned corporation, Junior-Senior Prom Manufacturers, Inc. As the year went by, we became more and more conscious of the fact that soon we would be the supreme sen- iors. With the passing of the months we an- nexed more delightful memories. Finally the time arrived when we made the last journey into a new class. After three long years of apprenticeship, we finally attained the coveted title of full- fledged seniors. This new honor brought with it some privileges as well as responsi- bilities. We were given exclusive rights to the library. We donned grease-paint and powder, and presented L'Cheaper By the Dozen. We entered the entertainment field of song and dance when we presented Cafe Tres Chic. We seniors had official jurisdic- tion over the prom. However, there were, unfortunately some responsibilities which we also inherited. Many of us became mem- bers of that select organization known as the 8:31 Club or Prayer Writers, lnc. To the very few unfortunates who once or twice strayed from the straight and narrow path, the dry mop became a symbol of the sen- iors' penal code. The days flew by and fi- nally there were no more. Although the good times and the happy times may come to an end, the memories will never fade from our hearts and minds.

As the mysteries of Latin Ill, intermediate, and chemistry enveloped us, we liecame cognizant of the full meaning of our new title. Our boys contrilnlted their talents to our football and llaskethall teams, while the girls fervently cheered them on from the sidelines. Poetic platters Together we sweated and prayed our way through our tests. Together we laughed and played at social events. Working with the seniors, we evolved a masterpiece, a ulihap- sody ln Blueu, our Junior-Senior Prom. All too soon, however, our junior year drew to a close, with last minute studying for those dreaded Final tests, and then those all- portant report cards saying that We were Hnally seniors.

To- gether we cheer St. Maryis on at a football Joan has the is hole elass off on a tangent. or a basketball game. Together we pray at the altar. Yes, we have learned the invaluable les- sons which eooperation alone can teach. We have learned that only as a group united can we achieve our purposes.

Our new titleeefreshmengseemed to ns to carry with it a great deal of importance, though of course, the npperclassmen had an entire-- ly different opinion. At Christmas time we looked forward eagerly to our first formal dance. ln January the qualms we felt were due mostly to the approach of our first mid- uol discovers a rare species term tests. When they were finally over, we eagerly anticipated some more 4'Firsts,,- our first attendance at Cafe Tres Chic, our first retreat, our first May Crowning, and, hest of all, our first p1'om.

Houlilian Through the years the Sodality of Our Lady has truly lmeen a way ol' life lor the students of St. Maryis High School. lt is the means hy which they come to know inti- mately and love maternally the Mother of Christ. It strives not only to produce per- sonal sanctity, hut also to promote a great crusade of Catholic Action. Various committees are formed to accom- plish this two fold aim. one of which is the Eucharistic Committee. This group strives to develop a greater realization ol' the value of the Holy Eucharist and to encourage more frequent reception ol' the sacramentsg whereas the Catholic Literature Committee promotes Catholic Action hy placing a pamphlet raclx in the school hall where all students may find lree leaflets to read and to pass on to others. Recently St. Nlary's has become affiliated with the Sodality Union, an organization which enalmles various Sodalities in Central New York to exchange ideas and methods. Though still in its infancy. this Union shows great promise of increasing the influence and scope of the Sodality. By participation in committee work and membership in the Sodality Union. the young student eventually reaches a very close relationship with his spiritual mother. lVlary. and through her, with Christ. Rega rd- less of where his chosen career may lead him. this relationship will continue with him as a way of life. Meditation is food for the out t Father .lohn Lynch, Father lawrence Horan and the Retreatants One of the most satisfying and rewarding experiences in the life of each high school student is his annual retreat. This year, our pastor, Father Horan, secured as our retreat master. Father John Lynch of lVlanlius. The real and deep love of Cod, possessed by this priest, proved to be an inspiration to the students and led them to the realization that God was not just a power, but a per- sonal friend. Throughout the two brief days, Father Lynch strove to instill into the heart of each retreatant his own burning love for Christ and His Blessed lVlother. Through the media ol conferences, prayers, and spiritual read- ing, he made each student cognizant of the true meaning of the virtue of love, the foun- 39l dation upon which the salvation of the world rests. Each day as the students devoutly at- tended the Holy Sacrifice ol' the lVlass, re- cited the lVlysteries of the Rosary, or knelt within the Sanctuary for Benediction, an aura of peace surrounded them. During these moments of prayer, the spark of di- vine love within each heart was ignited and the spirit of companionship between each student and his Cod was strengthened. All too soon, the retreat drew to a close, and each member spiritually grasped the hand ot' Cod as Father Lynchls closing words rang out through the Church: 'clsove Cod. and the world is y0urs.', 0 Lad , hear m prayer . . .

As the beautiful music of '60, Mary, We Crown Theen rang forth, the queen with her attendants, moved slowly to the sanctuary where, after ascend- ing the green carpeted steps, she placed the golden crown upon the statue of the Blessed Virgin. As the Benediction was concluded and the recessional began, the Sodalists re- alized that the long weeks of practice for this annual event had not been in vain. Once again with voices ascending in harmony blendingw they had proved their love for their Queen, their Guide, their Inspiration and their Mother.

Father Horan offers Mass for sc nu rs in Convent Chapel As the procession of seniors moved slow- ly into the Convent Chapel with its altar beautifully decorated with blue iris and golden daffodils. the realization came sud- denly that it would soon be graduation day. This was one of the last times when the sen- iors would pray together as a class at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. As Father Horan stepped to the foot of the altar, the tones of the organ pealed forth and the sen- iors raised their voices in a heartfelt hymn to the Sacred Heart - --- '6Heart of Jesus, Hear. As the Mass continued, they once again lifted their voices, this time imploring -e lVlother, U Forget lVle Not. H21 When Communion time approached, the beautiful notes of H0 Lord, I Am Not Wor- thyw rang out, and then, as Father mur- mured the humble UDomine, non sum dig- nus , the seniors walked reverently to the altar rail to receive their Savior. All too soon, the Mass was ended. As Father Hora n descended the altar steps, and their voices blended in the beautiful hymn of thanksgiv- ing to the Trinity, uHoly God, We Praise Thy Namew, the seniors became even more forcibly aware of the fact that much of the joy they had known at St. Mary's had been realized as they prayed together.

The extra point was good and St. lViary,s led 7-O. ,lust before the half, DeSales scored, hut missed the conversion. After a scoreless third period, the Blue and Gold running at- tack hegan to click, however, the drive bogged down near midfield and St. lVIary,s was forced to punt.

NlARY'S vs. PHOENIX The following Friday night the Blue and Gold pitted itself against the highly-touted Phoenix eleven under the arc-lights at Ran- dall Field.

Jerry Grace scored the six points, and ,limmy Keegan added the point after the touch- down. The score at halftime read - St. lVlary,s 7, Phoenix 0. In the third and fourth periods Phoenix tried desperately to st-ore, Imut Sl. lVlary's defensive work stopped the Orange and Black in its tracks. The game ended with St. lVIary's on the vic- lory side of the ledger 7-0. ST. MARY'S vs. SKANEATELES On Friday, October 3, confronted with the task of defeating the power-laden Skan- eateles High team, the Martinmen jour- neyed to Skaneateles. The first half passed with neither team scoring. The Blue and Gold was given its first scoring chance in the third period, but a fumble just shy of the goal line forced the team to relinquish possession of the ball. Two Skaneateles fumbles placed the ball deep in enemy ter- ritory, but again St. Maryis failed to capi- talize. The game ended 0-0. Although the offensive team of the Irish did not roll along in its usual fashion, the defensive team saved the day on several occasions as it con- tinually stopped its opponents' hostile run- ning attack. ST. MARY'S vs. HOLY FAMILY Following the scoreless tie with Skaneat- eles, the Martinmen journeyed to Auburn to play the always rugged Holy Family team. Following a long drive downfield for the touchdown, the host club drew first blood. The first half ended with the score 6-0 as Holy Family failed to make the point after touchdown. In the third quarter, Auburn scored again. Holy Family con- tinued its devastating attack into the last quarter and tallied two more touchdowns. St. Mary's only tally came from Dexter's ninety yard run, making the final score Holy Family 26, St. lVlary,s 6. ST. MARY'S vs. CAZENOVIA On Saturday morning November 8, thc Blue and Gold gridders completed their 1952 campaign at home in the rain and snow against Cazenovia Central. After re- covering a St. Nlary's fumble, the visitors tallied first in the opening quarter. The ex- tra point was good and the score at halftime read: Cazenovia 7, St. lVlary's 0. A long run in the third period gave the Blue and White another touchdown and a 13-0 advantage. Only once was St. lVlary's able to generate a scoring drive, and then it lost possession of the ball on downs. In the last quarter, Caze- novia scored its final touchdown, but the conversion failed. The lVlartinmen tried des- perately to score in the final minutes of the game, but a strong Cazenovia defense coupled with the elements hampered their efforts as it did throughout the contest. Final score: Cazenovia 19, St. lVlary's O. ST. 1VIARY'S vs. CATHEDRAL Displaying deception and fine ball hand- ling, the steam roller offense of St. Maryls powered to a victory over Cathedral of Syr- acuse.

Corcoran Purve or of pep Perhaps the greatest desire of almost every high school girl is to don the familiar school uniform and gain the title of cheer- leader. This desire reaches its highest peak on the day of tryouts. Excitement and sus- pense fill the air, competition is keen, and happy is the girl that is chosen. Autumn days Hnd the vivacious lassies urging the Saints on to victory as foothall cries ring throughout the air.

Cat bid farewell For their senior play the class of '53 chose the delightful and heart-warming story of Frank Bunker Gilhreth and his amazing dozen. An efficiency expert, un- paralleled, lVlr. Gilhreth professed an in- domitable helief in his self-made maxim, MAnything worth doing is worth doing with- out waste motion. Constantly confronted with enormous prohlems, he systematically eliminated them, but when it came to his teenage daughters, he encountered un- dreamed-of difficulties. Most affected by Dadis strange opinions was the eldest daughter, Anne. She was the first of the dozen to challenge his conservative ideas and to introduce the new ones of a changing generation. Silk stockings, make-up and jazz became the main points of controversy, and those arguments led to grave misunder- standings between Anne and her father. All these difficulties were overcome in a touch- ing denouncement, and Dadis reason for saving time was revealed. A Crucial lVloment4L'Did l Pass? M. Conway. R. A'Hearn, N. Stack, C. Lanigan 7 V 'Nlasterpaul 'Xl Haves R Qiottek R It was not. however, in the excellent humor of the play that we found the most enjoyment, but in the thousands of little in- cidents that made the effort worthwhile. The constant spirit of fun that the cast main- tained throughout . . . made what might have been long, tiring rehearsals, things to look forward to. Perhaps some of that will- ingness to practice came from the patience and understanding of our director, Sr. Merici. E to Dad Masterpanl The invaluable services of the stage crew can never truly be appreciated. What did it matter il the automobile horn did not sound on time during rehearsals, as long as it came in on the split second the night of the big performance? It was due to the crews, quick thinking and ability that a minor catastrophe in the form of a blacked-out spotlight was soon remedied and the show continued without interruption. Shh!

Dillingham We are the mu ic-maker . . . Wrhen we think of our daily life at St. Maryis, our thoughts inevitahly-dwell on the pleasant memories of helonging to the Clee Clulr. The Clee Cluh has enjoyed the privilege of singing the First Saturday Masses in honor of Our Lady of Fatima, and, very often at funeral lVlasses. Our greatest honor was that of lreing requested to sing the Sol- enm High Mass on Sunday. In addition to these privileges, we were also very fortunate to he ahlc to sing at the Holy Week services. But proliahly the most vivid of all Glee t55l Cluh memories is the satisfaction and pride we felt to he ahle to contrilrute to the heauty of the commencement exercises. l.ong he- jlore graduation, preparation hegan, and step hy step, the soprano, alto, and hass voices hlended into Straus' heautiful 6'lVly Heron, Noel Coward's Mllll See You Againw, and Friml's Hlndian Love Call. Finally the all-important night arrived and the principal goal of all our efforts was achieved-our last trihute to the departing seniorsf-our masterpiece of choral art. t. We are the dreamer et dream . . . Blue notes. sparkling with silver, white trellises twined with hlue and white roses, hlue lights dancing on glittering silhouettes of musical instruments' e-all under a canopy ol hlue and silver, thus accentuating the lheme Rhapsody ln llluew. With a freshly painted gym, plenty of crepe paper and a wealth of artistic talent and ingenuity, thc juniors and seniors worked energetically to make their prom the most heautiful ever. Their tireless efforts were rewarded when the magic night finally arrived and the soft music of John NlcNeil's hlue-coated musi- cians welcomed the dancers to the Junior- Scnior Prom. The freshmen and sophomores danced gaily through the evening, knowing that there were many more good times yet to come. The juniors danced underneath the decorations they had helped to create and suddenly they realized that next year would he their last. A note of sadness was preva- lent in each senior's evening, for each one knew that this prom marked the end of many good times at St. lVlary,s. Yet, the fun which everyone experienced at this Mlthapsody In Blue was only real- ized hecause many worked together so that all could play together. Through the arrhway to our Rhapsody ln Blue. t.

They wished to honor a man who for twenty-one years has been the very spirit of St. lVlary's. They were there to honor Bob Martin. The event was a special testimonial dinner at which the members of the 1952 team were guests. For Bob this was a night of memories, memories of past games, practice sessions, Xxx K VAk7 V. and of old familiar faces. The night brought back recollections of sunny afternoons at Columbus Field, trips to Auburn and Geneva, and cold and rainy games at Ran- dall Field. Bobis Mboysw presented their former coach with a gold Wrist Watch. This Was their way of saying, 6'Thanks, Bob, for all the sportsmanship and fine qualities of manhood which you gave us.
