if S Having completed one year of study at the Academy, our O class returned with renewed determination to surpass our ef- forts as Freshmen. P Many in our class have shown athletic ability among whom are: Tom O'Brien, Silvio Fittipaldi, Ed Martin, John Conway, and Luke Finn. Also, the success ofthe Gaudeamuses has been H due in part to the varied talents of such sophomores as John Cullen, Torn Hennigan, Larry Clark, Luke Finn and Michael Scanlan. All of us have always tried to take part in extra cur- O ricular activities. Looking over our intellectual accomplish- ments, very definite contributions were rnade by Silvio Fitti- M paldi, Jim McCusker, Mike Scanlan, Larry Clark and Gerard Alexin. As we gaze into the crystal we become confident, that, O with the help of Almighty God, we will be as successful in the next two years as we have been in the past. R Itis the sincere hope of our class that God will bestow upon the graduates of 1953, His choicest blessings and that He will guide them in all their future undertakings. To them, we ex- E tend our heartfelt congratulations and best wishes.

And we have returned for our third semester, and not in vain did we make our admission. We, the class of 54 , have displayed our greatest abilities. The arduous year , as it is casually called, gave proof of the mental, as well as the physical, abilities of our class. Everyone had his difficulties, but strove harder each time. I Space would not allow for our long list of intellectuals and participants in the range of journalismg but we can mention the names of Tom Walsh, Bob ' Hagemann, and Gerry Lemole as contributors in the field of sports. We can also foretell that Zeph McLean is lined up for Varsity Basketball by his sen- R ior year. Together, with the humor of Frank Arnold and John Lane, each member has made his firm contribution to the pros- perity of the class. We now continue on to our primary goal of life. To you, the graduating class of 53 , we extend our'cordial congratulations and may God assist you to your end.
