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
