We were fortunate to have as members of our class such diligent scholars as John Santillo, Nicholas Tenaglia, Emil Mucchetti, and John Young. Continuing to boast of our achievements, but in a different vein, we have such able athletes as John Singler, Kenneth Connolly and John Young in track, Richard Gallagher, James Finnegan, John Semon, John Foote and James Mc- Garry in basketball. In the postulant sports, the Juniors are well represented by Bernard Dowling, Eugene Taylor, George Roy, Emil 'Mucchetti, and Ber- nard O'Donnel1. We, the class of '56, hoping to follow in your footsteps, wish you, the grad- uates, our heartfelt congratulations. May God grant you every blessing. , - 3 - nf ' I 'V ,A Ji 9 5 I i -1 W 3 'V 4 l' J V 0 '0 l.,1' ,f L 9, Q V. Mx -v Av Q I 0 24 e K. 4

As Sophomores, we prepared to assume a greater share of responsibilities in the various school activities. Our class has come up with many fine achievements, both scholastic and athletic. 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. Scholasticallywe were at our best, with Robert Harvey, Joseph Cicci, Peter Bernard, Paul Epperlein, and Karl Bauer at the top of the class. Robert Har- vey, our class president, directed the year's activities. As we reach our halfway mark at the Academy, we beseech God's choicest blessings on the future endeavors of the graduating class. To them we say, Congratulations and Good Luck! 25
