It is therefore most fitting that we should dedicate our Annual to this eminent bishop, scholar, and saint of the Order of St. Augustine. 3 THEME During recent years, the Order of Saint Augustine has celebrated many noteworthy events. 1954 saw the sixteenth centenary of the birth of Saint Augustine. This year marks the four hundredth anniversary of the death of Saint Thomas of Villanova, who, at the General Chapter of the Augustinian Order in 1953, was proclaimed patron of Augustinian studies . The graduating class of 1955 seizes this opportunity to pre- sent to you, in a limited way, some idea of the work of the zealous sons of Augustine who provide the students of Aug- ustinian Academy with a truly Christian education, seeking to develop the whole man. Unlike many other religious communities , the Augustin- ians do not confine their apostolic endeavor to any one par- ticular phase of work. Rather their choice of activities is guided by the opening words of the Rule of St. Augustine: Before all else, most dearly beloved, love God and then your fellow man, for these are the chief commandments given to us. Thus, the Augustinian may be found in any work which will promote the love of God through the love and ser- vice of mankind. Today's Augustinians are especially en- gaged in parish work, teaching, preaching, and missions. It has been repeatedly asserted that the clearest explan- ation of any point is an example. The life of Saint Thomas of Villanova provides an ideal exemplification of all Augus- tinian activities. A great scholar and a great saint, he was appointed court preacher to Emperor CharlesV of Spain. While provincial of the Spanish province of Castille , St. Thom- as sent forth the first Augustinian Missionaries to the new world. As Archbishop of Valencia, St. Thomas rooted out many evils and instilled great fervor and zeal in both clergy and laity. It was at Valencia that Thomas' love and gener- osity toward the poor won for him the title, Father of the Poor . St. Thomas had great devotion for Our Lady and wrote many learned Marian treatises. His abilities as both a scholar and a teacher make him an ideal patron for stu- dents. The Eastern Province of the Augustinians in the U- nited States is dedicated to Saint Thomas of Villanova 4 1 I 'QU i i I NLR 'YY j-q.-1-- - ,f .,-f . , , X Augustinians are noted for their abilities as preachers. The Augustinian Mission Band is composed of priests who devote their time to giving parish missions and conducting retreats. While still a teacher at the University of Sala- manaca, St. Thomas preached in the chief pul- pits of Spain. Emperor Charles V named him his court preacher. The faculty at Augustinian Academy daily preach to us the great truths of the Catholic Faith, not only by word, but even more effec- tively by their holy example. To them, we owe a great debt of gratitude. FAUULTY KL ll f 'f . . 1 fl' REV. I.

'J -giopiav- ' Recently the American Augustinians opened their first foreign mission in Japan. At present five zealous priests are laboring to bring the true faith to the Japanese. In 1533, while pro- vincial of the Spanish province of Castile, St. Thomas sent forth the first Augustinian mission- aries to the New World. The seniors now go forth intoa godless and materialistic world armed with the saving truths of their Catholic Faith. E lllli FOUR YEARS On September ll, 1951, we, the class of '55, first entered the portals of Augustinian Academy, our minds filled with, and a little frightened by, thoughts of our new life as high school students. Nine members of our class of twenty-nine were embarking on their four years of study and prayer as postulants in the Order of St. Augustine. Our first impressions were all very favorable. We liked the buildings, the teachers, and one another. The first few weeks passed swiftly and soon all traces of timidity or homesickness vanished. We had settled down to our duties and responsibilities. As a result of diligent study, our names ap- peared frequently on the Honor Roll. Our abilities were not, however, confined solely to the class- room. ln sports, Luke Finn, Silvio Fittipaldi, Thomas Hennigan, and Lawrence Seaver showed great promise. Before we realized it the snow came, and with it our long awaited Christmas vacation. The even- ing before we left for home, our class took part in traditional Gaucleamus . Upon our return we were faced with the task of passing our mid-year exams successfully. Base- ball occupied our minds now and we all became ardent fans. Before long spring ushered in our Easter vacation. June was upon us before we realized it, bringing with it the final examina- tions. During these last few weeks we impatiently looked forward to the Grad- uation Banquet and Gaudeamus . After bidding farewell to the Seniors, we prepared to spend an enjoyable summer at home. The summer months passed swiftly and once more Septem- ber was here. We renewed old friendships and acquired new ones. Our numbers were augmented by the arrival of a new classmate, Dave Smith. We were now Sophomores, but the title was accompanied by new and more difficult studies. Our scholastic endeavors were reflected by the outstanding achievements of such students as Gerard Alexin, Laurence Clark, and James McCusker. The fall season was to show our skillful ability on the gridiron. Winter fol- lowed quickly and we returned from our Christmas vacation, refreshed in mind and spirit. After a few weeks of intense study and review, we faced the mid-year exams with con- fidence. With the appearance of spring in all her radiant splendor, the baseball leagues evoked an enthusi- astic response. The last weeks ofschool were spent in prepar- ing for the final examinations. After the exams, the final Gaudeamus and Graduation brought our Sophomore Year to a close. 10 IN RETROSPECT Two years had already fled away into the past and in Septem- ber, 1953 we returned to the Academy as Juniors. We were pleased to welcome into our ranks Lonny Schenck, Frank Shea, and Joseph Wimmer. Scholastically we were at our best, and names like Gerard Alexin, James McCusker, Michael Scanlon, Frank Shea, and Joseph Wimmer were practically always seen on the Honor Roll. We also exhibited our varied aptitudes in the extra-curricular activities. In the field of the drama, some who contributed to the success of Notre Dame's annual play were Thomas O'Brien, Richard Rogers, and Lonny Schenck. A member of our class, Kevin Johnson, captured first honors in the annual ora- torical contest. Christmas came, and with it a memorable vacation. After our return, the dreaded mid-years loomed on the horizon. Afew weeks of study enabled us to pass the examinations. During the following months our minds turned to baseball. Many class members displayed great capability in this sport. Before long, June arrived together with the final examinations. Our class sponsored the tra- ditional banquet and Gaudeamus for the depart- - ing Seniors. Now only one year remained and we all awaited it with great anxiety. Seniors at last! This is what we have been striving for these past three years and now it seems hardly credible that we've finally attained it. We did not lose any of our old enthusiasm. Indeed, the Senior year finds us participating in even more school activities. During the month of October, the school held a dance under the supervision of Richard Rogers and Peter Schles- ser. It was also evident that our academic status suffered no decline. Some of those who never failed to make the Honor Roll were Michael Scanlon, Frank Shea, and Joseph Wimmer. During the football season Thomas Hennigan, Edward Martin, Peter Schles- ser, and Dave Smith displayed exceptional ability. Basketball soon captured our interest. Seniors on the Varsity included Captain Tom O'Brien, Silvio Fit- tipaldi, Edward Martin, Lawrence Seaver, and David Smith. After the Christmas holidays we settled down to prepare for the mid-year examinations by prayer and study. A gf E e l Spring came, beckoning us all to the baseball Q f 5 diamond. Senior players on the Varsity nine were Luke Finn, Kevin Johnson, Norman Neubauer, and Lonny Schenck. June brought with it the Latin Scrutinium and the final examinations. We are now anxiously awaiting the twenty-fourth of June, at which time we will receive our diplomas. 11 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF 1955 We, the Class of '55, realizing that our four years at the ACADEMY have terminated, and whereas we wish to leave certain tokens of remembrance, we do hereby will and bequeath our few remaining posses- sions as follows: To the Juniors we leave the honor and title of SEN- IORS.

This should especially help him in Aeronautical Engineering, which he plans to major in at college. We are proud to have had the pleasure of knowing you both as a friend and fellow graduate.

Those chosen for the Varsity basketball team were Robert Harvey and Paul Bocks. Charles Gawarkiewicz, William Cody, and Bruce Behrins were selected for the J. V. team. George Kochman and John Currie ran for the Varsity track team this year. Among the postulants, Karl Bauer, Thomas Burke, and Patrick Greer displayed fine athletic ability.

This year the sophomores were very well represented in the field of sports. Especially noted for their ability and team spirit were Paul LeMole, Anthony Scalia, Michael Navalaney, George Raschmiel, and Matthew McCormack. Yet we were not wanting in academic prowess. Our scholastic standing was main- tained through the accomplishments of Francis Steinhaber, James Nieckarz, Robert Pecoraro, John Noll, Peter Mehnert, Michael Navalaney, and George Raschmiel. Now, as we are one year closer to our own graduation,we thankthe generous Lord for His blessings until and we pray that He will be equally generous in the future.

A .W When we, the Freshmen Class, fir t entere the Academy, we ere be- wildered by the thought that we too must someday uphold those standards and high ideals which the school has maintained through the years. Our subjects puzzled us at first, but with perseverance and constant study we were given the grace to master them in a short time. Those who showed special ability in the classroom were Thomas Constantino, Joseph Figurelli, John Kruger, Vincent Lieggi, and Lynn Pagliaro. Our talents were not confined to the classroom, and we contributed to the track team such future stars as John Fonss, Michael Marotta, and Kenneth Scanlon. On the J. V. basketball court Lynn Pagliaro, Richard Merenda, and John Dimple displayed their skill, while Carlos Flores, Maurice Murphy, Wil- liarn Demarest, and Peter Brown displayed their strength on the gridiron. As the year closes, we hope that our future years here will be as happy and as successful as this one.

QNot 5 P. G.'S Our yearbook would not be complete without a few words about our Post Graduates. These young men have come to Mt. St. Rita's with a very definite purpose in mind. While acquiring the know- ledge necessary to continue on in college, they are preparing to meet the even greater challenge that lies ahead - the life of a priest. Their stay here at the Academy has been one not only of mental development but also of great spiritual accomplishment. These Post Graduates have been given their first taste of the religious life and we sincerely hope that God will give them all the graces nec- essary to continue on in the pursuit of their goal. fy fx y 495' ,wiv yi.

Ezra I. Fenton, O,S,A,, coach. A few weeks after school opened, a meeting was called for all varsity bas- ketball candidates. After many tryouts a team was selected by the coach, Rev. Ezra J. Fenton, O. S. A. On this team there were only three returning letter- men: Thomas O'Brien lcaptainj, Richard Gallagher lco-captainl, and Silvio Fittipaldi. However, many members of last year's Junior Varsity moved up to play on this year's Varsity. They are Lawrence Seaver, John Semon, James McGarry, John Foote, Robert Harvey, and James Finnegan. Two able new- comers are Edward Martin and David Smith. The manager of the squad this year is Kilro Ferretti. The backbone of the team is comprised of Tom O'Brien, Ed Martin, Bob Harvey, and Richard Gallagher. O'Brien and Harvey have supplied the scoring punch of our quintet. The rebounds have been handled very admirably by big Ed Martin and little Richie Gallagher. Lacking sufficient experience, the team has been slow to break into the win- ning column. But the indomitable spirit and enthusiastic cooperation of the members of the team is assurance in itself that the taste of victory will not be denied them.

While losing six varsity members through graduation, there still remains eight returning lettermen to compose the neucleus of the team. They are Frank Ciardiello, John Criso, Luke Finn, James Finnegan, John Foote, Joseph Mc- Tarsney, Norman Neubauer, and Lonny Schenck.

With the beginning of the school year, track coach, Mr. William Welsh, con- ducted tryouts for the Cross-Country team. From these candidates two teams were selected to represent our school. In dual meets the Augie Harriers de- feated McKee, Curtis, and Port Richmond. Excelling in meets were John Sing- ler, Kenneth Connolly, John Young, George Kochman, and John Fonss. The season terminated with the Staten Island High School Boro Championship in which the varsity placed second and the freshmen first in their respective events. John Singler spearheaded the varsity, finishing first, while setting a new Island record of 14:14 for the two and one half mile Clove Lake course.Al- so setting a new Island record was John Fonss, who captured first place in the Frosh run. The coming of cold weather heralded the indoor season. Soon all of the boys who had run Cross-Country were training to run on the boards and ready to prove their mettle. ln many meets in the city, the -boys showed talent. John Young and Kenneth Connolly were the most successful, establishing new school records of Z:3Z.9 in the 1,000 yards and 5:08 in the mile respectively. The team also competed in many dual and triangular meets with such track powers as Bishop Loughlin, St. Peter's, Manhatten Prep, and St. Michael's. With the arrival of spring all were eager for the outdoors. During the first weeks of spring, attiredin sweat suits, the team began to get used to the cinder paths. Already scheduled are meets with Curtis, Port Richmond, and McKee. The team will participate in the Brooklyn Automotive meet, the Iona College relays, and the world famous Penn Relays at Franklin Field in Phila. Based on its past performances the track squad should continue on its winning ways. 34 J. Fonss, K. Connolly, J. Young, and J. Singler, trophy winners, with Mr. William Welsh.

The primary purpose of the Day Students' Club, comprised of all the day students of the Academy, is to promote a better understanding among them. This has been accomplished by the formation of various intramural clubs and societies. Of these, the Student Council was the most prominent in making progress toward closer student-administration cooperation. The day students attend Mass and receive Holy Communion each Friday, Benediction weekly, and recite daily prayers to our Lady of Good Counsel. Such pious practices are largely the. result of the endeavors of both the First Friday Club and Sanctuary Society. Further religious activities include the annual three day Lenten Retreat, led by an Augustinian missionary. Day students of the past have left our ranks to become exemplary citizens of societyg its present members should prove further worthy additions to to- morrow's world. '47 4....l C.S.M.C. Under the capable direction of our moderator, Rev. W. James Walsh, O. S. A., we, the members of the Catholic Students' Mission Crusade, have hada prosperous and profitable year. The main purpose ofthe society is to help the missions by our spiritual and material support, and to instill into the students adeep knowledge and enthusiasm for the foreign missions. This year we were given a talk by Rev. Lawrence J. Cahill on the difficulties of the missionaries,and the urgent need to have more laborers in Christ's vine- yard. Representative members of the C. S. M. C. also attended the high school rally held at Cardinal Hayes High School to further the interests of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith. We lent our support to the missions both by our prayers and by our monetary contributions. In order to help the Augustinian missionaries in Japan, Africa, and South America,we have been active in collecting stamps for the Augustinian stamp drive. We hope that future members of the C. S. M. C. will emulate our missionary zeal. 48 Augustinian Fathers 3103 Arlington Ave. New York, N.Y. Augustinian Fathers St. Augustine's H.S. San Diego, Calif.
