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.

As we, the Freshman Class, entered for the first time F the portals of the Augustinian Academy in the mid-Septem- ber of 1952, our minds turned toward the important task ly- ing before us. Our moderator, Father Angus Carney, form- R ed us into a smooth working class. We elected as class officers: Carl Gertz, President, E James Finnegan, Vice-President: Richard Gallagher, Secre- taryg and Sergio Santana, Treasurer. Despite the variety of states represented, we got to know S one another well. New York and Pennsylvania were well represented and, in addition to these, there were some from Maryland and Cuba. Working as a well managed unite, we H did not fail to make our influence felt in all phases of Acade- my life. M In the intellectual sphere John Semon, John Santillo and John Young shone . In sports, the big names were: Richard Gallagher, Dan- E iel Simanaitis, John Foote, Francis Matthews, James Mc- Garry, Carl Gertz, Brian Dowling and George Roy. N By perseverance, hard work and divine aid we will reach our goal: Graduation. At this opportunity we would like to ' wish to the Class of '53 the best in-everything.:-' 1 , ' , - ' J 5 ' 1 R f M R . l. ,. - X,,,3 V xi' '-'A - ' 'J 'N B, I y In Q' i. f Aix 1' I L ,,, x . ilk!-f' rv' I K., lt- A F 1 -:1gn,,f'v , si .

These men, work- ing hard to better prepare themselves for college, mir- ror their seriousness of pur- pose by their earnest and suc- cessful efforts. The full im- portance of their chosen voca- tion has been realized in the minds of these students. They spend long hours in study to master the academic course in their short stay with us. Yet, these men are instrumental in almost all of the Academy's activities. .S
