ARDHfVE:a s ;,. vk v . r ■ - - THE HEIGHTS 19 6 2 ASSUMPTION COLLEGE Worcester, Massachusetts Ronald Picard 3TAFF Richard Gembecki Carleton La Porte Frederick Chaifee It is with no small amount of trepidation that one person, or a group of individuals, attempts to document the intangibles of college life. Not everyone will be pleased with this retrospective presentation of the campus milieu as it exists at Assumption. We have tried, however, to capture the more salient episodes and spirit which have encompassed the graduating class of 1962. Opening with the motto of our dedicated instruc¬ tors: Donee formetur Christus in vobis , we humbly submit this publica¬ tion, the ' 62 HEIGHTS, as a resume of our progress from initiation to graduation. - 3 - The preparation of young men for their mission in life is an ex¬ tremely difficult task. Especially is this true if the preparation is for a Catholic life. To present Christ to the youth of today requires outstand¬ ing fortitude and dedication. The students at Assumption are fortunate in being able to frater¬ nize with members of an order in which these very qualities are imbued in a noble tradition originating from the very depths of Christianity. We will never be able to repay the Assumptionists for what they have given us. We can only strive to attain the stature of those men who have in nine short years raised our Alma Mater from the ghost of its ashes. Thus it is with filial devotion and admiration that we dedicate THE HEIGHTS to the man who is the embodiment of these qualities of excel¬ lence, to the Very Reverend Armand Desautels, our beloved President. (Dfftte ttf tljblitsfydp • Mg • “Pfarc fft r .,iRaaaac uartts It Is a happy privilege to express a word of cordial felicitation to the 1962 graduates of Assumption College, to assure you that I share your Joy and pride in the achievement which your graduation marks and to wish you a full measure of happiness and success in your future careers. Your Alma Mater has equipped you well for the road ahead. The devoted priests and laymen of her teaching staff have sought to integrate the wisdom and experience of men with the wisdom and knowledge of things divine in your learning process. In preparing you for useful lives, they have not allowed you to forget the purpose of life itself. In keeping with the time-tested traditions of Catholic education, they have taught you not only to use your minds clearly, but to direct your thinking and your Judg¬ ments safely and surely in the pursuit of the good, the true and the beautiful which is the goal of every man ' s life. It is with a sense of confidence, therefore, that we see you leave the campus and halls of Assumption College to go your various ways into careers or higher education, to people our communities and to found our families of the future. We pray that you will hold fast to the ideals and values you have learned to cherish during these college years. In this resolve, lies your best assurance of earthly and eternal happiness and our surest hope of your desired success.

To think of our years in college as being simply an intermediary period between dependence and independence, as a constant struggle pit¬ ting us against significant minds of both the past and the present, or as a battle ground where there exists the seemingly never-ending clash bet¬ ween student and grade-point average, is an erroneous idea in the eyes of education, and especially contrary to the aims set forth by Assumption College. Four years here have found us not only being targets for St. Thomas ' primary purpose of education - the cultivation of the intellect - but also as men with a firm basis to as good Christian laymen, and so] - diers for Christ. - 28 - JAMES R.

With them are as¬ sociated dreams and fears, and perhaps just a little nostalgia. We re¬ member where we’ve been, and we wonder where we ' re going, and most of us are still a bit unsure which of the two prospects is the more attractive. There are only forty-five of us, but we feel we haven ' t done badly. Ever since our initiation,, in the Fall of ’59, we have made our presence felt strongly here at Assumption... in one way or another... and we’ve provid¬ ed at least our share of leaders. Our Class has been a social unit.. .we’ve even enjoyed each other ' s company! We have our memories: Paul Marien’s traditional get-togethers ... the weekly missions to Friendly House in Freshman year. .. excursions to the B . ..the dances, parties, and proms... the ball games won and lost... the personal things... these we won’t forget easily. We’ve had three years and, after the Seniors are graduated, we’ll take over as veterans of the campaign. We’re sure we’ll serve as well as our predecessors, and when we leave, we’ll leave as men. - 49 - From left, seated: James Buma, Vincent DiNino, (standing) David Byers, Peter Goodfield, Robert Lam¬ bert.

Assumption College’s Class of ’64 has been represented well in all areas of school activities - from intercollegiate and intramural athletics to campus honor societies and governing bodies. In addition, our fellows have consistently played key roles in all major campus organizations - religious, social, athletic, and intellectual. Neither have we overlooked the intellectual nor the spiritual aims of the School. Dean’s List recognition is not unknown to many of our classmates, and some of our most dedicated sophomores participate ac¬ tively in spiritual organizations such as the Ecole Apostolique, St. John ' s Guild, C. C. D. and the Third Order of St. Augustine. On the ever-important level of competition, the Class has contrib¬ uted a first ranking orator in French, tournament debaters, high-scoring athletes in all major sports, and a host of pool and whist enthusiasts with amazing skill, if only with a small following. - 54 - From left, seated: Eugene Columbo, Roderick Larocque, Gior¬ gio Lei; (standing) Patrick Powers, Leo Roberge, Thomas Gerald, Joseph Garrity.

September 13, 1961 brought Freshman Week to Assumption Col¬ lege. Some of the 100 entering students had taken merely a quick ten minute drive to get to the Salisbury Street campus; others had traveled for weeks and journeyed over half the world for the opportunity of seeking an education in its highest form. Their first week at College was a busy and exciting period. Rules and traditions were outlined; faces and names were memorized; courses and schedules set in order. There was ample time also for a Freshman Talent Show, an informal get-together, and an enjoyable picnic. The Freshmen were quick to reveal their abilities in all fields. They formed a major part of the Varsity and Junior Varsity teams; they became vital to many College activities. Seventeen Freshmen achieved first or second honors in the first semester. Perhaps the outstanding characteristics seen in the Freshman Class are their rapid adjustment to the phases of college life, their school loyalty, and their determined drive and vigor. The future of Assumption College will rest secure in the hands of these future leaders. - 59 - From left, seated: Luke Rooney, Christopher Kieman, Frank Cottrell; (standing) Robert Gaudette, Don Lee, Ul- ysse Cormier, Roger Lastoria, Kevin Nordberg, Donald Bette z.

It requires complete dedication and perseverance of staff members, and the cooperation of all. Especially is this true at Assumption where, because of the size of the institution, the combined efforts of the entire student body are so essen¬ tial for the success of such a large project as this. To be sure, student response has not always been what we wished it to be. Ofttimes we were met with apathy in our pleas for assistance. Fortunately, however, this lethargic attitude has not been indicative of the majority. An acknowledgement must necessarily be brief; not everyone can be thanked personally. We do wish here, however, to render tribute to those without whose assistance the publication of this yearbook would not have been possible. Primarily we would like to express our appreciation to those undergraduates whose long hours of labor and untiring efforts en¬ abled us to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles. It was they who really put the ' 62 HEIGHTS together. Nor can we forget the Carleton H. La Porte Studios, Mr. Menton of Adams Printing Corp. , and Father Guilmain, whose interest and aid were invaluable. Mere words, we realize, are an inadequate and superfluous way of rewarding immeasurable assistance. We can, however, do no more. We are only able to reiterate our thanks and hope that deserved satisfaction will be gained through the knowledge that the ’62 HEIGHTS will be fondly treasured as a piece of Assumption by this Senior Class. Frederick Chaffee Richard Gembecki Carleton H. La Porte Ronald Picard Editor-in-Chief Associate Editor Photography Editor Business Manager - 65 - assumption The main purpose of the Student Government Association of Assumption College is to promote the best interests of the students in all matters within its jurisdiction, among which are included the recognition, supervision and co-ordination, of allco-curricular activities. The S. G. A., as it is popularly called, also strives to bring about a closer rapport between the student body and the College administration. Among the vital student activities which are sponsored, fi¬ nanced and supervised by the S. G. A. are the College social activi¬ ties; the publication of the Courier, our undergraduate newspaper; The Phoenix, the undergraduate literary magazine; an annual student yearbook; maintenance of the recreation hall facilities; a foreign film series; a cultural field-trip program; and many student clubs and commit¬ tees. The officers of the Student Government Association, consisting of the President, Vice-President, and Treasurer } are elected in March of each year, and take office on the third Monday of April. The Secretary is selected by the incoming President. The Council is composed of eight representatives, two from each class. The Council meets ordinarily each week during the school year to carry out the functions which come under its jurisdiction and to take care of the day-to-day problems which confront any ruling body. As stated in the preamble, it is hoped that the Student Government Association, by fulfilling the purpose for which it was founded, will prove a useful organization to the entire student body and will provide the offi¬ cers and members of the Council with important experience in self-gov¬ ernment and leadership, and will thereby develop in them a sense of re¬ sponsibility which will be valuable to them after graduation.

V4 K Assumption ' s campus honor society has as its aim to protect shield) and to fur¬ ther (crown) the interests of the entire student body. The requirements for membership are proven scholarship and effective leadership in all fields of campus life. The members of the Society are responsible for the intellectual, social, and religious morale on campus. Theirs is the task of creating an atmosphere of excellence. In essence, the goal of the Society may be reflected in this, not unfamiliar, paraphrase: Ask not what the College can do for you, but what you can do for the College! From left, seated: R.

Thus, it is composed of an elite group of men who have met prescribed high academic accomplishments and who show promises of pur¬ suing scholarly endeavors. Once indoctrinated, the members are expected to perform to their utmost capacities in the highest tradi¬ tion of the Society, whose motto, Dei Epitattein Sophon, is transla¬ ted, It is characteristic of the wise man to put order into things.

D. unit is the Aw training of its members for eventual leadership in Confrater¬ nity work in their respective parishes. At Assumption this lead¬ ership preparation is provided by allowing members to participate in three phases of the Confraternity program: a teacher-training course, conducted by the faculty moderator, enabling members to teach religion to public school students; actual teaching experience in local parishes that have asked for help in this respect; and a Discussion Club,which meets with non-Catholics from secular colleges, for the pur¬ pose of promoting a better understanding of the Faith. First organized in 1957 on an unofficial basis, the Assumption C. C. D. unit now includes twenty-one members. It is officially recog¬ nized by the Diocese of Worcester and enrolled in the Archconfraternity at Rome. From left, seated: F. Wadsworth, J. Pisciotta, President; P. Too- hey; (standing) F.

Le Pain. - 72 - Named in honor of one of the great pontiffs of modern times and the father of the liturgical revival, the Saint Pius X Chant Society endeavors to execute, in its most splendid forms, the sacred music of the Church, which aims to raise and shape the hearts of all the faithful in all sanctity. (Saint Pius X) K In order to foster a love for these sacred melodies in the hearts of the students of Assumption, the Society sings a number of High Mass¬ es during the school year, including Retreat Masses and Forty Hours ' Devotions. Weeks are spent in preparation for each Mass, under the direction of Father Roland Guilmain, A. A. Vi i i v In all its activities, the Chant Society seeks to play its role in ful¬ filling the command of Saint Augustine: When you praise God, praise Him wholly; let your voice praise Him, let your life praise Him, let your actions praise Him. (Saint Augustine) From left: R. Lamoureux, A. St. Germain, B. Espinosa, Fr. Guilmain, A. A. , Director, E. Difiore, R. Legac, P. Roberge, M. Le Pain. - 73 - This organization, founded in the first decade of this A century, is one of the oldest on campus. The membership consists of students who are considering the priesthood or the religious life as their vocation. Though every student on campus may be a member, the spirit of the group is explicitly aimed at preparation for the sacerdotal life. Regular meetings with discus¬ sion and lecture serve to instruct the member on various aspects intellectual, pastoral, and spiritual - of the priesthood. From left, seated: R. Lamoureux, P. Toohey, President; D. Holman, (standing) K. Dupuis, A. St. Germain, E. Di Fiore, J.

The members maintain that genial and intelligent conversation, along with a bit of refreshment, can very well make for an enjoyable evening. Some of the recent subjects of discussion have been C. P. Snow ' s Two Cultures , Erick Fromm ' s Art of Loving , Barzun ' s House of Intellect, and Niebuhr ' s Lost Dimension in Religion. But once a year, in early March, the Philosophy Club makes a con¬ spicuous appearance on campus. On this day, the members of the Club organize and run the St. Thomas Day festivities, complete with symposium, Mass, and party. The moderator of the Philosophy Club is Father Ernest Fortin. From left, seated: R. Brien, P. Dowling, President; E. McCrorie, (standing) F. Wadsworth, R. Roberge, J. Pisciotta. - 75 - The debate team of Assumption is known as the St. Augustine Society in respect and admiration for that Saint ' s great love of truth in speech. The team, which is active mainly in the second half of the year, is a member of the American and Eastern Forensic Leagues. As members, they debate the national topic set down by these assoc¬ iations. This year saw the lively topic: resolved, the Federal Govern¬ ment should apply anti-trust legislation to unions , tossed around by the ten members of Assumption ' s team. Dual debates were held with such excellent teams as Worcester Tech, Providence College, and Holy Cross. Ordinarily, there are four debates held annually: two on campus and two away. Besides these dual meets, the team received invitations to tourna¬ ments at American International College, Norwich University, Boston College, and will participate in the National Debate Finals to be held at Holy Cross in May. With the team losing only its president, it is hoped to have an even heavier schedule of intra-college debates next year. From left, seated: L. Vastola, President; B. Farragher, Moderator; P.

The Club shifted this year to a policy of closer co¬ operation with the regional and national associations of I. R. C. ' s than it had followed last year. As a result, much more material for study of foreign problems has been made available to the members. The main topic of discussion was United States Foreign Policy which was considered in relation with Europe, the under-developed na¬ tions, the Soviet bloc, and the United Nations. The chances of nuclear dis¬ armament were also debated. Of great importance to the Club this year was the activity of its literary outlet, The Individualist , which was instru¬ mental in stimulating membership interest in current world affairs.

However, the ' French Literary Circle ' is now aim¬ ing toward a more comprehensive knowledge of French. It sets as its goal an investigation of French in terms of the thought and culture of its people through a literary medium. Also integral with a more comprehensive knowledge of French is our policy of holding inter-collegiate discussions, which are fruitful in terms of broadening horizons. But it should be noted that diction and correct expression have by no means been abandoned. All discussions are held in French under the auspices of an able faculty moderator. Hence, the French Club supplies, we hope, two basic needs of the language student: the functional and the cultural. From left, seated: K. Dupuis, R. Cloutier, President; L. Roberge, (standing) D. D ' Amours, E. Di Fiore, P. Belhumeur. - 78 - This campus organization is open to all students, but is primarily geared to the interests of History Majors. Month¬ ly meetings find the members engaged in informal discussions and debates concerning current world problems in association with their historical significance. One topic of conversation which caused great interest, both before and during presentation, was slav¬ ery before the War Between the States, and its relation to segregation in the modern era. Advice and assistance were offered to underclassmen by both advi¬ sor and seniors, valuable advice resulting from long hours spent in the preparation of Senior theses. This Club served as a fine outlet for dis¬ cussions pertaining directly to the interest of many. From left, seated: E. Ballo, T. Cooney, President; W. Foley, (stan¬ ding) W. Cating, R. Picard, R. Chiras, R. Roberge, E. Hippert, J. Cul¬ len, R. Cloutier, J. Pare. - 79 - The Bridge Club is one of the newest clubs on campus. It was recognized by the Student Government Association last fall and, since that time, has progressed rapidly towards becom¬ ing one of the most active clubs on the Salisbury Street campus. A clinic was held immediately after recognition of the Club, and everyone on campus had the opportunity to familiarize himself with the fundamentals of the game. Later on, both intramural and inter¬ collegiate games were conducted. The Club, founded on the assumption that intellectual relaxation is an intrinsic part of campus life, promises more fun and keener competition in the years ahead. From left, seated: C. Blier; P. Toohey, President; W. Foley. Standing, R. Gembecki, T. Pound, F. Sisser, T. La Pierre, R. Racette, R.

By organizing these Worcester area men, the Club establishes a close union among its members. The Club sponsors various activities throughout the year. Included among these activities are: a Thanksgiving drive for needy families in the Worcester area; a Communion breakfast for the members and their fathers; and several dances held at convenient times during the year. The profits received from these activities pro¬ vide a scholarship for an in-coming Freshman from the Worcester area. From left, seated: J. Pare, T. Cooney, President; E. Hippert, (stan¬ ding) C.

The editors wish to extend their thanks to all those who contributed to the form¬ ation of the ' 62 HEIGHTS: To Fred Chaffee, who channeled the creativeness of the make-up staff; to Dick Gembecki, who direc¬ ted the make-up of the Senior section and carefully guided the many underclassmen in their work; to Jay La Porte, who accounted for the publication ' s fine photographic layout; to Ron Picard, whose economic ability kept the ' 62 HEIGHTS on a sound financial footing; to Rene Bon- neau, whose artistic touch provided the book ' s finesse; to Frank Cottrell, who performed the massive task of assigning and editing all the copy; to Tex Dutile, from whose pen poured copy both light and bright; to Fred Wardsworth, who found a new hobby in collecting senior write-ups; to Tim Reardon, who unearthed many interesting informal photos; to Dave Byers, whose literary talents proved to be invaluable; to Jack Barnosky, who helped out all around; and to the many other students who gave both time and effort so that we might all reach the HEIGHTS.

Gentlemen, may I suggest... ? Cool off, I’ll find it. Got caught yourself that time. 83 - The Assumption College Dramatic Society takes its name from the Roman performer, St. Genesius, patron saint of actors. Since its organization, the group has strived to pro¬ vide mature entertainment for the student body by presenting each year one or more well-known plays. The Genesians ' reper¬ toire ranges the entire field of drama; the group has taken Shakes¬ pearean tragedy and modern comedy equally in stride. In the past four years, productions have included Graham Greene ' s The Potting Shed , Ustinov ' s Romanoff and Juliet , Moliere ' s Le Malade Imaginaire , and Assumption student Richard Belair ' s The Preying Mantis. This year ' s project, an outdoor presentation of Shakespeare ' s Richard II , is the So¬ ciety ' s most ambitious to date. The Society is affiliated with Delta Psi Omega, the national col¬ lege-level dramatic fraternity, and several Genesians have been honored with membership in this organization. From left, seated: G. Stein, C. Peditto, B. Mo- nett, P. Powers, R. Esposito, P. Toohey, M. Le Pain, F. Dutile, R. Thomas; (standing) J. Corazzini, P. Roberge, B. Espinosa, R. Gaudette, T. Ciocci, F. Calo, E. Rejecki, R.

First organized in 1958 by its present conductor, Dr. Frederick Mir- liani, the popular young choral group is now the largest student organization on campus. Its members enjoy the ageless pleasures of good song and good fellowship, and its audiences delight in the sparkle of the chorale ' s Broadway medleys, and warm to the glow of their hymns and the fire of their romantic ballads. The rich harmonies of her students’ voices have borne Assumption ' s name to many New Eng¬ land towns and colleges, and the Glee Club hopes that its melodies will ring in further reaches of the country in the not too distant future. N It wasn ' t that old gang of mine or even the boys down at the Temple Bar we loved so well who elected to draft the Roman god of wine and merriment as their mythical mentor. It was the Assumption College Bacchanalians, a select group from the College Glee Club, who chose to adopt the name of the famed Bacchus. The Bacs ' , with their special flare for humor¬ ous songs and ballads, add zest to every concert, and provide refresh¬ ing entertainment at college functions. They present their lively ar¬ rangements with the fullness and body of a large chorale, yet with the fine attacks and mellow harmony of a polished quartet. The Bacs ' fascinating renditions consistently evoke delighted applause from their audiences - recognition which must certainly summon forth some feeling of pride and satisfaction in the talented troupe... fitting sentiments for Assumption at her musical best.

Dev¬ oted primarily to student opinion and college activities, the Courier is financed by the Student Government Association and advertising revenue. The paper serves as the voice of the stu¬ dents - both as individuals and as a body. A three-year old baby the Courier was founded by Arm and Bouchard and James Maguire and has achieved the status of having the largest student participation of any co-curricular activity on campus. Among schools of its size, Assump tion possesses the largest college paper in New England. From left, seated: R. Lambert, Co-Editor; J. O’Neil, Co-Editor; (standing) B. Welch, C. Benz, R.

Its primary objective is the cultivating of creative ability in the realm of literature. In addition, the magazine encourages schol¬ arly opinion and debate by publishing noteworthy critical essays. The Phoenix represents a goal for the creative student, and gives him the opportunity of expressing himself in a relatively high medium. The name of the magazine is not without meaning. The phoenix, in Greek mythology, was a majestic bird which, at the end of its life- period, would set itself afire and arise, newborn and more magnificent, from its own ashes. This is symbolic of the magazine’s ideals in fo stering the creation of new and original literature in the light and tradition of the art of the past. From left, seated: E. McCrorie, Editor-in-Chief; (standing) A. Bou¬ chard, F. Wadsworth, R. Paquette, T. Curtiss, R.

Students from all classes are invited to submit articles. This plan provides the publication with a cross-section segment of the college views. The Individualist has as its principle objectives the following: to allow the creative voice of the student to be recorded, to inform on current questions of importance, and to promote an interest in international affairs among the Publication ' s readers and contributors K From left, seated: G.

These outstanding student leaders are nominated at an an- nual student assembly set aside for that purpose, and are elected by a secret ballot vote. Who ' s Who candidates are selected on the basis of scholarship, leadership abilities, cooperation in educational and extracurricular activ¬ ities, citizenship, and promise of future usefulness. Only those students recognized as outstanding are eligible for nomination. Final recognition must be confirmed by the ' Who ' s Who association which selects students from over 750 universities and colleges across the nation. From left, seated: E. McCrorie, A. Bouchard; (standing) W. Gadbois, Brousseau. - 91 - A good effort by A. I. C. coupled with a few damaging Greyhound errors handed Assumption its first defeat of the season, but our boys bounced back to trounce Nasson College with a three-goal output by Libera. Strong New Bedford Tech and Clark University both downed Assumption in fiercely-contested games to wind up the 1961 booting season. Although the soccer team will lose such valuable seniors as Skip Hartwig, Dan Healy, Larry Vastola and Captain Curtiss, Coaches Lund- quist and Ferrie are confident that the strong nucleus of returning letter- men will provide another fine season for the Greyhounds in ' 62.

Playing host to Nichols, October 11, the Blue-and-White placed five men among the first eight finishers with Langen again steal¬ ing the honors as he covered the four-mile course in 20:46. Auclair placed a close second for the Assumption victory, 21-37. After a sound 43-18 loss to Holy Cross, the Greyhounds placed five among the first six finishers to dominate completely a triangular meet against Bridge- water State and Nichols College, October 21, at Nichols. Assumption had 18 points versus the Bisons ' 53 and State ' s 61, with Langen crossing the line just after Auclair. 4 L, i From left, front row: G. Thibault, W. Langen, S. Stadnicki, R. Auclair, E.

In a home meet against Worcester State College on October 25, Langen finished the four-mile course in 20:48, just seconds ahead of Auclair, while Ed Johnson placed fourth, and Ron Bosse placed fifth to insure the Harriers ' victory, 18-43. On November 1, the Greyhounds took on Worcester Tech ' s J. V. ' s at Tech, and crowned the season with a decisive 20-35 triumph, Auclair showing the way, with Langen close behind. Thus, with but one loss, Coach Father Roland Guilmain, A. A. , enjoyed the most successful cross-country season to date. Keynoting the season was the private duel between Captain Auclair and Billy Langen. Langen gathered three first places and two seconds against Auclair ' s two firsts and two seconds. With two sophomores and eleven freshmen making up the entire team, Coach Guilmain has good reason to feel that next sea¬ son should be similarly impressive. - 97 - Assumption College ' s triumph over Suffolk Univer¬ sity put the wraps on another fine basketball season for the Greyhounds. Although fine outputs have become a habit for the Laskamen, this campaign proved to be special in many ways in that the cagers managed to put together a season which, but for unsmiling fate, might well have been the most triumphant in Assump¬ tion history. Assumption grabbed the city small-college crown early in the season with impressive victories over Worcester State, Clark University, and Worcester Tech. Fresh from a heartening victory over Colby College, Maine ' s top-flight basketball troupe, the Greyhounds journeyed west to play their role as underdog in the Springfield College Invitational Tourna¬ ment. In three quick strokes Assumption toppled Buffalo, Lafayette (the tourney favorite), and host Springfield, allowing all three a meager aver¬ age of 42 points a game. Co-captain Ed Hippert was chosen Most Valua¬ ble Player of the tourney. In a game which saw Assumption in command up to the 12-minute mark of the second half, the NIT-headed Holy Cross Crusaders, paced by All-America candidate Jack Foley, had to pull out all the stops to subdue their stubborn cross-town foe. ■■■■■■■■■ cSUMP,. 30 % From left, rear row (standing): Assistant Coach J.

Assumption then traveled to Providence to face another NIT-entrant, the nationally-rated Friars. Down by only two points with three minutes to go in the first chapter, and down by only seven in the last minutes of the game, the Greyhounds finally succumbed to the sky-scraping talents of Jim Hadnot and John Thompson, but not without giving the hosts a strong dose of Assumption defense. It was at this point that the face of fate lost its smile. Injuries hampered Co-captains Tim Cooney and Ed Hippert, and soon after Assump¬ tion dropped a six-pointer against powerful Fairfield, Cooney being able to play only five minutes, and Hippert not even dressing for the contest. St. Anselm ' s, capitalizing on the absence of both Hippert and Cooney, han¬ ded the Greyhounds a 59-55 setback. Assumption still managed to finish the season with a highly-respectable 12-5 record. A leaping lay-up. A quick two. The season was special in other ways, also. Assumption played only six of its games at home, and yet no opponent was afforded the luxury of grabbing more than sixty points in one game. Further, since early in the season, the Assumption team has consistently ranked third in the national small-college defensive statistics. Its opponents averaged a sub¬ sisted 50 points per game, many not getting past the 40-point mark. Assumption ' s wall of flesh defense was the key to its successful season. Now, what ' s it doing up there? 100 - Will the real Ed Ballo please step forward.? Steve checks, just to make sure. From bottom: T. Heyes, D. Carney, B. Murphy, T. Cottrell, R. Nelson, J. Wood.

They didn’t coast to victory in the National Champion¬ ships, or swim the English Channel en masse. As a matter of fact, they didn ' t even have a winning season. Some will say that theirs was a very minor success. But, to the 1962 swimming team, the 48-31 win over Babson Institute was worth a whole pool full of Olympic gold medals. With this victory, they brought home the very first nautical triumph in the whole history of the College. For the spectator world, the team ' s sun of triumph was soon eclipsed by the dark clouds of successive losses to Worcester Junior and Worcester Tech units, but the initial victory shines untarnished in the memories of the team. They hope that it will stir up new interest in their sport, and they look to better teams at Assumption in the seasons to come. From left: Captain M. Haran, F. Camp¬ bell, E. Columbo, S. Parker, M.

Victory in his grasp. 105 - The Assumption College baseball team, led by Coach Joe O ' Brien, is confident that this campaign will be just as successful as last year ' s outstanding 7-2 effort, the best in the College ' s baseball history. Although the club will be without the valuable services of graduated catcher Fred Barakat, who led all hitters with a brilliant . 380, and outfielder Jim Bill, there seems to be as much strength in every department with the possible exception of pitching power. Last year ' s infield, second defensively in New Eng¬ land with a . 942 fielding accuracy, is back in its entirety and plays a heavy role in O ' Brien ' s favorable outlook. Although positions are still be¬ ing juggled about in order to find the best possible combination, junior Ed Ballo will man first base, Billy Norkaitis will probably tend to second base, with junior Johnny Massaro a likely choice for the hot corner. Cap¬ tain Dickie Bill and freshman Jim Monahan will alternate as catcher- shortstop. The outfield patrol will be chosen from Dennis Scavone, Paul Youd, Dave Lavin, and the inactive pitchers. The Greyhound hurlers will be senior Ed Hippert, Charles Aleksiewicz, Dick Bill and John Mrzyglod. Assumption ' s hitting will again be one of the club ' s greatest assets, with three of last year ' s five top hitters back: Dick Bill (.360), Ed Ballo (. 325), and Billy Norkaitis (. 320) From left: Coach J. O ' Brien, E. Ballo, C. Aleksiewics, E. Hippert, W. Norkaitis, J. Monahan, Captain R. Bill, J. Mrzyglod, J. Massaro, D. Lavin, P. Youd, N. Millet, D. Scavone. The Assumption College tennis team faces another short but thrilling season on the courts. After a successful rebuilding year in 1961, it was predicted that the 1962 campaign would compile the best record in many years. However, two un¬ expected losses will make this goal much harder to realize. Father Ernest Fortin, in Chicago for the semester, will not be able to guide his proteges this year. Also Bill Broderick, the winningest single ' s player of the 1961 season, will not play in order to concentrate on his studies. The netmen will be led in spirit by senior captain, Ray Brien. Steve Warner, most talented and experienced player of the squad, will again hold the top position. The core of the team will be completed by re¬ turning lettermen, Ron Brousseau, Jim Benestad, and Pete Belhumeur. Of the many capable freshmen candidates, Frank Scorza is the most prom¬ ising and is sure to see plenty of action. V If the netmen, in addition to their perennial victories over such teams as Hartford University and A. I. C., can come up with a few upsets over powerhouses like Providence and Clark, Assumption will enjoy an¬ other varsity sport with a winning record. From left, kneeling: R. Brien, Captain; F.
