This is not necessarily a saving grace, as witness Caesar’s fate. The reflections of college life perpetuated wit hin should help you to ‘remem¬ ber’. If this is not the case, then our task has failed. The staff and I dearly hope that the future might find you returning again and again, through these pages, to “the happiest years of your life . . .” 3ktAwjL%.i( c y ■ DEDICATION Together we have traveled . . . from Brob- dingnag to The Waste Land and beyond. Of¬ ten we stopped along the way, trading our progress for a moment’s laughter . . . or an age’s grief. The path now is fairly worn, our journey near an end. We shall often return, remembering him, who led us over new trails, who helped us discover . . . that we might live more fully. The Class of 1968 gratefully dedicates its Heights to MR. MICHAEL J.

Such changes found their counterparts or their reflection in the greatest and the smallest areas. For each of you, too, as an individual, these were years of change. You now show little of the unsure, un¬ polished youth who first came to the Salisbury Street campus. Along with the inevitable physical changes, you give evidence, as you move to graduation, that you have reaped the benefit of your intellectual pursuits and of the guidance of your teachers during your four years here. Today you demonstrate that the intelligence which was yours at admission has blossomed and matured. The change in you has kept pace with the change tak¬ ing place in the world and in your world, the college. I do not speak here of physical change, of landscaping and building, but of the changes in the academic and administrative structure of the college. Your generation is a questioning and a demanding one; yours was a voice of unity crying for a just share in the college communi¬ ty. It is to your credit that you willingly assumed re¬ sponsibility for whatever part was allocated to you. We like to think that your emergence as articulate, intelli¬ gent, responsible young men is, in some measure at least, creditable to Assumption College. There will undoubtedly be later and greater innova¬ tions in the world and in your lives. It is our hope that whatever alterations may take place in you, the mark of Assumption College—a mark you yourselves have helped to fashion—will remain. Our heartiest wish is that you may carry into the future the best of the talents and the spirit of responsibility developed here to insure the greatest measure of happiness in all of your endeavors. Louis F. Dion, A.A. President Gentlemen of the Class of 1968: You leave an Assumption College that is very differ¬ ent from the one you learned to know during your or¬ ientation in the Fall of 1964. Many of these changes were brought about by pressing external circum¬ stances. Others were brought about as a result of urg¬ ing by your class. In many instances the changes 1 would have failed of their purpose without your cooperation. If changes in the area of student life have not been the most important for the future of the College, they certainly have been of the greatest import for the students coming after you. Student Government has become a sensitive sounding board of student opin¬ ion and an effective agent of the student will. Stu¬ dent activities have multiplied and responsiblity for them has been taken on by the students themselves. One need only think of crew and hockey, of an un¬ censored Provocateur or Bluff, of the multifarious programs sponsored by the Committee for the Arts. Changes in regulations, partly inspired by the stu¬ dents, have been successful because students have proven that they need only the freedom of adults to assume the responsibilities of adults. Greater inde¬ pendence and more numerous facilities have gone a long way to making dormitory life more home like. Since 1964 students have come to participate more actively as valuable members of the college commu¬ nity. They have contributed actively on committees for student affairs, the academic and arts calendars, campus planning, Parents’ Weekend and coeduca¬ tion. A wide variety of work programs have given many students an opportunity to learn of and share in the practical work of running the institution. Much remains to be done before Assumption at¬ tains its goal as an excellent liberal arts college per¬ fectly attuned to the needs of the times as well as to the timeless needs of all men. The moves accom¬ plished over the last four years are so many steps to¬ ward that goal. These moves could not have been im¬ plemented without the cooperation and participation of the students. The success of the future efforts to hurry Assumption toward the fulfillment of its destiny will depend on ever more cooperation and participa¬ tion by the student sector of the Assumption College Community.

President Charles Murphy The Student Government Association is the main¬ stream and center of student activity on the campus. Through annual elections, the students choose repre¬ sentatives for the Student Senate, the legislative branch of the S.G.A. Student representatives take part in decision-making on administrative commit¬ tees under the auspices of the S.G.A. The Student Government Association, through its traditional stu¬ dent participation in the academic community at large, is an organ of vital importance to the entire As¬ sumption community. The Senate presides on all matters of interest to the student body and attempts to reflect the opinion of the majority of the students. Included in its list of prerogatives is financial support, and control of all student activities. 142 Bruce Fiske, Bill Shustowski, Richard Poletnow.

Row 2: Richard Denecker, Gerald St. Martin, Roland Cote, Adrien Longchamps, Michael Sullivan. Open to the students of French, the primary pur¬ pose of the French Club is to bring together a group of students for the speaking of the foreign language. It provides the student with the opportunity of plac¬ ing himself in a French atmosphere to discuss French Literature, Culture, and Civilization. The club also sponsors French Films throughout the year and has co-sponsored and encouraged attendance at French cultural activities throughout the greater Worcester Community. Gerald St. Martin, Roland Cote, Father Denis Gonthier. 144 ■ GERMAN CLUB The chief purpose of the German Club at Assumption is to make accessible to its members those events related to the culture and life of modern Germany. To tho se who already have a command of the language it offers an opportunity to speak German, and on occasion, the opportunity to attend lec¬ tures in the language itself. In general, the German Club attempts to foster an interest for all that is valuable in the German culture among all the students and to promote an in¬ terest in the German language and literature here on campus. Gorge Garcia, Rutger Sypkens, Martin Walsh, Paul Konetzny, Michael Keiselbach, Anthony Clemente. Officers: Anthony Clemente and Paul Konetzny ■RUSSIAN CLUB The Russian Club of Assumption College attempts to acquaint all those interested with the Russian people, their land, culture and literary ge¬ niuses and to nurture an interest in the other students of the College, it makes use of lectures, films, trips, magazines, and discussion groups to accomplish this. These extracurricular activities coupled with inter-collegiate programs and Russian study on cam¬ pus help to substitute knowledge for mystery concerning this modern Asian foe. Terence Mulhall, Theodore Vacaro, Richard Denecher, David Cadoret, James Egnasher, Armand Mastraccio, Frederick Murphy. 146 Mr. Serge Durilin, Richard Denecher, William York, James Egnasher. ■SPANISH CLUB Seated: Jorge Garcia, Paul Konetzny, Michael Tabak. Standing: Gerald St. Martin, Steven Fredette, Raphael Figaro, Steven Szafran, David Cadoret. Though a comparatively new organization on cam¬ pus, the Spanish Club has provided an avenue for the ever-increasing interest in Latin-America and Spain. Though membership at first included almost exclu¬ sively those of Spanish blood, it has now expanded to include those who have a common interest in the lan¬ guage and culture. The Club attempts to create a greater understanding of Spanish speaking areas through formal lectures on all aspects of these coun¬ tries. It also sponsors and encourages fruitful discus¬ sions among members on topics of interest. Two of the Club’s as yet unrealized aims are the presenta¬ tion of some piece of Spanish theater and the estab¬ lishment of a Spanish Honor Society. Raphael Figaro, Jorge Garcia, David Cadoret. 147 ■ HONOR SOCIETIES Seated: Thomas Murphy, William Desrochers, James McManus, Corydon Ireland. Standing: Roger Liesegang, William McCue, Dennis Gal¬ lagher, Steven Hayes, Frederick Christian, Charles Murphy, Bruce Fiske, Edward Pepka. Missing from photo, Brother James Duffy. An honor coveted by most students is election into the national society of “Who’s Who in American Colleges and Universities”. This honor is based not solely on academic achievement, but also on the student’s willingness and abili¬ ty to communicate with his environment, both on and off campus. Seated: Frederick Christian, James McManus, Dennis Gallagher, Thomas Murphy, Brother James Duffy. Standing: Roger Liesegang, Wil¬ liam McCue, Charles Murphy, Edward Pepka, Thomas DePeter. The Crown and Shield Honor Society is a campus organization which recog¬ nizes superior academic achievement and qualities of leadership. Membership is granted to students on the basis of their intellectual and extracurricular con¬ tributions to the College. Students are recommended by faculty members and selected by current members of the Society. The group concerns itself with proj¬ ects aimed at improving the community at large. ■PROVOCATEUR Robert McGary, Edward Bertorelli, David Fredette, Edward Mirek, Paul Travers. An essential part of any college campus should be the student newspaper. The Provoca¬ teur, in recognizing this fact, has attempted to provide Assumption with a publication of a high journalistic quality. Like all newspapers, the Pro¬ vocateur is concerned primarily with news, and more particularly, items of particular interest to the students here. Yet the publication is not only interested in facts, but also strives to pre¬ sent, through its editorials, opinions on a plethora of topics. Through these, the editors hope to stir greater interest in the smaller world of the campus as well as that outside our con¬ fines. Michael Keiselbach, Michael Cooney, John Olinger, Donald Walsh. Lemay, Samuel Stolgitis, Paul Konetzny, William O’Dea, William Esposito, Martin � THE HEIGHTS The Heights, like any yearbook, attempts to perpetuate the familiar incidents of the past school year. In any attempt to capture a partic¬ ular moment, and to make that moment as meaningful to as large a cross-section as possi¬ ble, numerous difficulties arise. The Heights was fortunate this year in having a particularly able and hard-working staff. To the extent that we have overcome the inherent difficulties in producing a yearbook, we feel that we have achieved a degree of success. Past volumes of The Heights relied almost en¬ tirely on the pictorial to relate their story. The present staff felt that this preponderance of the the pictorial was unnecessary. The idea of creat¬ ing a better balanced and more formally orga¬ nized book guided our efforts. Consequently we have used more script and headline, made use of dividers, and granted more coverage to the year, in general. EDITOR-IN-CHIEF: Frederick B.

The Bluff, Assumption College’s campus humor publication, is in its second official year of existence. Published by the Assumption Satirical Society, it goes to press several times annually according to the whims of Dame Humor. Within its pages are found humorous essays, stories, poetry, and drawings in¬ volving issues of both local and national import. In addition to publishing the Bluff, the Assumption Sa¬ tirical Society also sponsors various other campus activities related to the field of humor. Now firmly es¬ tablished, The Bluff should remain one of the high points of student literary endeavors, because what it provides is so desperately needed on college cam¬ puses today. Seated: Gerald Huard, Richard Herbert, Stephen Fredette. Leaning: Mr. Neil Brophy, James McManus, Bruce Fiske, Thomas Wright, Peter Shea, John Corbeil. 152 ■INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB Row 1: Paul Dukor, Steven O’Brien, Robert Langlais, Eugene Yannon, Dr. Doyle. Row 2: Norman Chamberlain, Michael Cooney, Norman Patenaude, David Kostura, Neil Duncliffe, David Feeney. Row 3: Rutger Sypkens, Edward Goryl, Steven Szafran, Gary McDaniel, Richard Kraham. Row 4: Thierry Delbert, David Gorra, Robert McGary, Timothy Savage. The Assumption College International Relations Club is an undergraduate orga¬ nization designed to compliment the unique foreign affairs program at Assump¬ tion. Through the application of econom¬ ics, geography, history, language, political science and sociology, the club nurtures the foundation gained in the students ' course work. It aims at providing the knowledge essential to the understanding of the culture, customs and politics of oth¬ er nations. Attempting to answer the perplexing questions arising on the international scene, the members are exposed to the is¬ sues in their proper perspective. Featured throughout the year are speakers from the academic, business and government sec¬ tors of foreign nations as well as our own country. A member of the Council on Internation¬ al Relations and United Nations Affairs (CIRUNA), the club is a participant through national conferences, in the dia¬ logue among academicians searching for an understanding of world affairs. Thus, the IRC is concerned with creating an awareness of international problems im¬ mediately within its own community and indirectly to the much larger community around it. Gene Yannon, Dr. Doyle, Bob McGarry, Dave Gorra, Tim Savage. 153 ■ J.F.K. MEMORIAL HISTORICAL SOCIETY Samuel Slaiby, Peter Chaput, Bruce Fiske. Seated: Robert Liso, Michael Tabak, Standing: Steven McCormick, Paul Douglas, Jeffrey McClosky, Martin Balboni. The purpose of the J.F.K. Memorial Historical Society is to encourage fortune telling. Fortune telling involves forecasting the future and it is our contention that the best way of predicting the future is by closely investigating the past. The society has an interesting and varied lec¬ ture series bringing prominent men in the aca¬ demic field to speak at the college. Main partici¬ pant activities of the club include group discus¬ sions, attendances at conferences held in the New England area and shared meetings with other colleges. Highlight of the year is the publi¬ cation of the History Club journal, In Retro¬ spect. This journal directly involves many mem¬ bers of the club in the final edition, a fulfillment of seven months of research and writing. In Re¬ trospect is among the most distinguished publi¬ cations at Assumption College. Seated: Thomas Sullivan, Steven Fredette, Peter Chaput, James McManus. Standing: Samuel Slaiby, Richard Lavoie, Charles Lanzetta, Bruce Fiske, Edward Goryl. 154 ■JUSTINIAN PRE-LEGAL SOCIETY Joseph Joyce, David Bowes, Charles Harvey, Frederick Micale, Michael Duany, William O ' Connor, Steven McCormick, Armand Mastraccio, Karl Buder. Raymond Belair, Joseph Bialy, David Bowes. Michael Duany, Frederick Micale, Armand Mastraccio. Knowledge of the law and its function¬ ing is of prime importance to our society. In recognition of this, the Justian Pre-Le- gal Society serves the campus in orga¬ nizing events and projects which not only provide guidance for those students pur¬ suing a career in law, but also attempt to stimulate a general interest in the field of law. Among the activities for this year are keeping the library up-dated with pertinent catalogs, periodicals, digests, and books, a law school admission guidance program, a lecture series, and a moot court exhibition. Through these various activities, we hope to provide at least a stepping-stone for more intensive study of law. 155 ■ SAINT LUKE SOCIETY Row 1: David Lemire, Thomas Thibault, Lawrence Johnson, Charles McCaffrey, Lawrence Rogers. Row 2: Jeffrey Bellrose, Charles Seitz, Steven Starr, Donald Lemay, James Callahan, Frederick Christian. The Staint Luke Society is a pre-profes¬ sional organization, intended primarily for future doctors and dentists, with enough scope to be of interest to other students as well. Its spectrum of events range from informational films and lectures on medi¬ cal careers to diversified demonstrations on topics such as hypnosis and birth con¬ trol. The primary aim of the club is to arouse interest in the applied sciences and their correlation to the social sciences. All meetings are open to the public and all are encouraged to participate. Lawrence Johnson, Charles McCaffery, Thomas Thibault. 156 ■MATHEMATICS CLUB The Mathematics Club attempts to further the knowledge of its members in basic mathematical fields and to ac¬ quaint them with areas which they have had no contact. This is accomplished through speakers, movies, and tours. The Math Club also initiated and con¬ ducted “The Committee for the Im¬ provement of the Mathematics Concen¬ tration, the Mathematics Department, and Related Areas”. This Committee has brought about several significant improvements within these areas and suggested other improvements which are now under consideration. This club has also initiated an international orga¬ nization, Upsilon Mu Alpha, which brings math clubs together and publish¬ es an information bulletin to benefit the clubs.

The Psychology Club is a new club on campus. Its aim is to promote interest in the value of psychology and to prepare students desiring to pursue a career in the social sciences. To ac¬ complish this, the Club maintains three stand¬ ing committees: one to encourage discussions among other colleges about books and articles pertaining to psychology, one to introduce the students on campus to problems in psychology through speakers and movies, and the last to foster volunteer work among the different social organizations in the city.

Innumerable are the men who attempt to solve, with reason and in¬ telligence, these dilemmas. Assumption has in¬ stitutionalized this pressing debate into a philos¬ ophy club. This group comes together periodi¬ cally in order to verbally spew forth their gnaw¬ ing metaphysical preoccupations. It is a group of students dedicated to the pursuit of truth on its highest level. Meetings are held informally despite the serious nature of the discussions. The atmosphere is relaxed, a situtation conge¬ nial to intellectual development of the most serious type . . . The guiding lights: magnanimous men. 159 ■ SOCIAL COMMITTEE Seated: Luc Quinson, Paul Rousseau, Thomas Murphy, James Vogel, David Kearns. Standing: Paul Trayers, Raymond Mazza, Joseph Yamin, Daniel Bourque, Donald Lebrun. No campus would be complete without the ex¬ istence of an organization concerned with the social life of the community. At Assumption the Social Committee strives to accomplish precisely that end. Throughout the year it presents a wide variety of events to benefit the students in this capacity. These include several informal mixers each semester, as well as semi-formal dances held off campus. One concert a year is also sponsored by the Committee, with The Fifth Dimension appearing at Assumption this year. The crowning point of the social year is the Spring Weekend which consists of a formal dance, a concert and other less form al activities.

Ours is a world that is becoming in¬ creasingly more aware of its social re¬ sponsibilities. The Confraternity of Chris¬ tian Doctrine (CCD) has developed in re¬ sponse to this awareness. It is a campus organization primarily directed toward de¬ veloping a sense of Christian brotherhood among its members, and indirectly among the entire student body. While overseeing the liturgical functions on campus and sponsoring occasional lectures, the largest part of the Confraterity’s work takes place within the context of the city. The orga¬ nization sponsors programs for the teach¬ ing of religion in the local parishes and tu¬ toring and group-club work at the Boy’s Club, Friendly House, and the Little Sisters of the Assumption.

It gives an op¬ portunity to all interested in the ancient game to play in a relaxed, informal atmo¬ sphere. The Club provides, through its mem¬ bership in the Worcester Metropolitan Chess League, an opportunity for competition for the more avid members. With a large num¬ ber of Freshmen members this year, the Club hopes that the interest will continue to increase. Gerald Fournier, Paul Corcoran, Joseph Joyce.

The Cinema, in a greatly expanded pro¬ gram, has presented many quality films on a twice-weekly basis throughout the year. The Drama Committee brought a nationally recog¬ nized play, The Believers, to the campus. In the musical sphere the Committee has sought to provide students with an awareness of musical expression, an endeavor highlighted by the an¬ nual Assumption night at the Pops. The Student Art Collection has sponsored exhibitions in many media, including that of photography. ■COMMITTEE FOR THE ARTS The Committee’s Jazz Night Joseph Pinho, Paul Wojtowicz, Thomas Condon, Martin Walsh, John Olinger.

Only catcher John Brunet is gone from last year and his replace¬ ment, Ralph DeFelice, is a fine experienced catcher. Coach O’Brien faces an expanded schedule, which in¬ cludes Brown, Worcester Tech, and three dou¬ bleheaders, with talent and depth. Led by four year varsity starter Captain Bill Gran¬ ahan, the team boasts a fine defense. Junior Jim Grant is a fine third baseman and Senior Pete Keller is a two year varsity starter at first base. Rounding out the infield are Granahan at short and hard hitting John O’Riley at second. A speedy outfield features Lou DeSantis, last year’s batting leader, and Senior Pete Chaput. The other outfield spot should be Soph Steve Connelly’s, but he has competition in Fran Grimaldi and Jack Dubois. Two clever left-handers top Assumption’s mound staff, Joe Catanese and Mike Wisniewski, who posted a 4-1 record last year. Frosh hopeful Bob Horvath and Soph Bob Wood should add some needed depth. Bench strength will come from Junior Don Lebrun and three frosh, Tim McCormack, Joe Araby, and Tony Forcelli. If the veterans produce with their bats the team has definite tournament possibilities. 168 68 HOUNDS BOAST E XPERIENCE AND DEFENSE!

Assumption College Crew has become synonomous with its 1968 captain and initiator, Bill McCue. McCue is a talented veteran who captained the oarsmen all three years and gained valuable experience this past summer when he rowed with the Ecorse Boat Club of Michigan. Bill is also the winner of the 1967 Royal Canadian Henley Junior Heavy Four as Stroke. Sam Slaiby and Paul Petrie, two returning senior lettermen, are again vying for their varsity seats, but facing strong competition from Pete Dempsey and Paul Choquette. Returnees Les LaBarre, Terry Macy, and Paul Proulx are waging a battle for a varsity seat and meeting strong opposition from novice oarsman Dan Bourque and Bill O’Connor. Sophomore Tom Gilman, 110 pounds of determination, is the varsity coxswain, and will be a key factor for the Crew suc¬ cess this year. Look for a slow start, but a strong finish for the 1968 Assumption College Crew. Paul Goodney, Sam Slaiby Paul Proulx, Wayne Kelly, Pete Dempsey, Paul Choquette, Paul Petrie, Capt.

The 1968 Assumption College tennis team is heavi¬ ly seasoned with talented and proven veterans. The 1967 squad posted a successful 5-4-1 mark with vic¬ tories over Worcester Tech, U. of Hartford, Lowell Tech, St. Anselm’s, and Bentley. Heading the list of returning lettermen are two se¬ niors; co-captain Joe Bialy and Bernie Demoreuille, both of whom have earned three letters and have plenty of playing experience. Junior co-captain Thier¬ ry Delbert returns and held down the No. 1 spot the entire ’67 season. Joe Reilly, another junior, with last year’s experience and great summer improvement looms as the No. 1 man this year with Delbert a close second. Roger Tighe, Dave Gorra, and Mike Aldrich are also returning lettermen and making a strong bid for the starting rotation. Sophomore John Price No. 4 last year, appears to have the inside track for the No. 3 spot. With eight returning lettermen it appears difficult for any newcomer to break into the rotation. Howev¬ er, three frosh candidates, Peter Mastrangelo, Steve Markovics, and Roger Deshaies have shown great promise in pre-season workouts and may be able to break into the doubles line-up.

After a great 1966 season, the Assumption hooters fell to a disappointing 1-8-2 record. Nothing can ra¬ tionalize a loss and this season was particularly heart¬ breaking as the Hounds lost many close contests. Coach Barakat and his team hustled and played fine defense against some good soccer rivals but could not put the ball into the net until the final game when they beat St. Anselm’s College 10-1. The Hounds were also impressive against a fine New Haven Col¬ lege team as they went into the final minutes of the game in a 1-1 tie, only to lose 3-1 on two quick goals by a highly rated offense. Stellar performances were given consistently by Co- capt. Fran Goodhouse, Fullback Bob Chenevert, Mike Wisniewski, Frosh Larry Flamen, and goalie Pa ul Tra¬ yers. The scoring burden was placed on the should¬ ers of Co-capt. Andre Mysliewiec, but a lack of com¬ plementary experience in the front line hurt. Losing only three seniors to graduation, halfback Bill Gran¬ ahan and insides Bill Shustowski and Gene Yannon, Coach Barakat will be looking forward to an experi¬ enced team, the never-say-die spirit that character¬ ized the team this year, and an improved offense.

Back: Coach Frederick Barakat, The 1967-68 Assumption College basketball team faced the season with only two returning starters. Driscoll, Ridick, and Paulauskas were gone via gradu¬ ation and 6-4 Bob Boule, MVP of the ’65-66 season, suffered a preseason knee injury causing him to miss the first eleven games. Thus new mentor Joe O’Brien faced the task of molding a starting cast from five returnees and three Freshmen. After a skittery December and January, the Hounds did jell and spurted to a 14-6 record and an NCAA bid. A.I.C. foiled Assum ption’s hopes in the first game of the Tournament by an 80-78 score, but the Hounds bounced back to swamp Springfield in the consola¬ tion contest, with graduating Captain Tom O’Connor leading all scorers with a 24 point efforts. Tom finished his four years at Assumption with 1122 points, third among the schools all time scorers. The three Frosh and the inspirational play of Eric Inauen were the keys to the hoopsters’ success. Jake Jones was second in scoring at 14.2 per game and led in rebounds (290). Serge DeBari was a leading scorer all season and rugged Tom Mack played in¬ creasingly well each game. These three Frosh re¬ sponded to the pressure of their starting assign¬ ments and should be future greats at Assumption. MVP Eric Inauen, led in scoring with 14.7 per game and was the club’s most consistent ballplayer. He combined with O’Connor in providing leadership and expe rience as he handled both front court and back court duties superbly. Junior John “Spunky” Gaudette and Soph Ricky O’Brien provided needed speed and ballhandling at the guards while Senior Tom “Cazzie” Russell and Soph Ken Kozikowski were strong reserves for the Hounds.

Completing the season with a strong 14-6 record, the Assumption College Greyhounds were once again selected to compete in the NCAA Small College Re¬ gional Tournament. In the first round pairings the Hounds drew a speedy, determined American Interna¬ tional College club which finished their regular cam¬ paign with an 18-4 mark. A.I.C.’s sharp passing and the overall play of Sophomore Curtiss Mitchel proved to be the key to the game. A great comeback drive by As¬ sumption kept them in the game, but their inability to score at the end resulted in a disappointing 80-78 defeat. 185 Front Row: Luis Roy, Claude Carbonneau, Michael Sullivan, Charles Lanzetta, Peter Chaput, Edward Goryl, (John Shusta).

Assumption ' s 1967-1968 “Cinderella” team has to be the Hockey Team. Compiling a 9-5-2 record and ad¬ vancing to the finals of the College Tourney, the skaters provided competition for the Basketball Team with their prolific scoring and superb defense. Big wins came over Nichols College and Worcester Tech, with shutouts being registered over both these fine clubs. Losing Pete Chaput, who was among the top New England scorers with 14 goals—14 assists, and goalie Charlies Lanzetta, who has been lauded as the finest goal-keeper in Assumption’s history and among the top three goalies in New England this year with 430 saves, through graduation will hurt. The Hounds will also miss the fine defensive play of Seniors Ed “Sonny” Goryl and Dick Coughlin and the net work of Seniors Paul Wojto- iwitz and Dick Lavoie. Optimism, however, is appropri¬ ate for next year due to the play of some youngsters like Larry Baillargeon, Art Lindberg, Ray Demers, Joe Araby, Tom Zickell, and goalie Mike Sullivan.

The club was founded in the Spring of 1967 by Neil Duncliff ’70, and Steve Goudreau ' 69. Recognized and supported by the Student Government Association and with the help of Athletic Director Andy Laska and Professor Neil Brophy, the club finished its first season undefeated. The team under the tutelage of Tony Catalfomo and Steve Hayes, defeated New Haven College (18-6) and St. Michael’s College (20-14). For their efforts the club was rated 19th in the nation by the National Club Football Poll. The team’s leading scorer was co¬ captain Al Agbay, while Roger Liesegang, co-captain and President of the club led the team in yards rushing. For the coming year the coaching chores will be handled once again by Neil Brophy, head coach, Tony Catalfomo, backfieid coach, and Steve Hayes, line coach. Officers for the 68-69 season are: Mike Ho- ban ’71, President, Mike Perron ’70, Vice-President and Mike Cunnane ’69, Business Manager. The sea¬ son opens on September 27th at Providence College. There will be five games for the club with three at home. With nearly the entire team returning for another sea¬ son of action and many new members anticipated, an¬ other year of fine football seems to be in order. 190 ■ENTIRE TEAM RETURNS IN ’68 •ztr. ®js « i ■ •� . . - ■ASSUMPTION FOOTBALL DEBUT.

A highly underrated and unheralded Cross-Country team in 1967 finished the season with a fine 10-4 record. Closing out four years of hard work and team lead¬ ership were Co-captains Jim McManus and Joe Bialy. Jim was continually up there in the top spots for the Harriers and his ex¬ emplary determination will be missed by Coach O’Brien. Brightening the future, however, are runners like Ron Biron, frosh Bob Gard¬ ner, Steve O’Brien, Tim Mulligan, and Jack Dubois. These boys will be carrying a tradi¬ tion of winning seasons which began fours ago with McManus and Bialy. Hard work and desire have been the key elements in Coach O’Brien’s philosophy and his run¬ ners obviously responded this season with some big wins over such foes as Nichols, New Haven, and Fairfield.

This year’s Track Club, coached and moderated by Mr. Brophy, promises to be the most active and successful group of runners that Assumption has ever had in spring track. At least five meets have been scheduled, one of which has already been held, and brand new equipment provides the kind of intensive practicing that in other years was impossible. As in the past, the strength of the club should be in the sprint events. Freshmen Louis D’Abramo and “Butch” LePage , sophomores Gary McManus, Brian O’Sullivan, and Fran DeBlasio, juniors Roger Liesegang, Rich Kraham, Bob Jordan, and Gerry Babineau, and se¬ nior Lou Prevet all will score many points for the Greyhounds this spring. In the meet already held against Assumption Prep, which A.C. won 47-34, LePage, Jordan, and Prevet took 1-2-3 in the 220; Mc¬ Manus, Prevet, and O’Sullivan did the same in the 100; Liesegang and Kraham finished 2-3 in the 440. The distance department will be aided by some members of the cross crountry team. Bob Gardner, Jim McManus, Bill Humbert, Ron Biron, Brian Kelly, and Ed Sullivan all plan on tapping their hill and dale experience of the past fall. Gardner, by the way, won the 880 in the Prep meet.
