FRESHM The Hrst thing that a freshman does is generally one or the other of these two: Either he puffs up full of a feeling of superiority over these junior school kids , forgetting that he is not far removed from them himself g or else he is overawed by the big, wide world which opens itself to him. We have tried to avoi'd both those pitfalls and in- stead to face the facts and proceed in as natural and businesslike manner as we can. By so doing we have done a bit less floundering about before finding our- selves and, despite possible individual exceptions, have made a rather good record in our first year in high school. Scholastically there has been for us a full measure of success, as Stan Miron, Sal Giordano, and the CLASS Coriat twins have all found places on the Dean's List. In the military, of 'course, we are all just getting started, but many of us became Privates First Class, and a few, Corporals. In sports, similarly, competition for varsity sports goes mostly to older boys, but on junior varsity and junior teams, several freshmen distinguished them- selves. Among these were Ken Rickett, Stuart Blez- nak, George Scarano, and Al Petricone, all of whom served in J. V. Football, Albert Neroni and Sal Giordano on the cross-country squad, and many others who participated in soccer, wrestling and basketball. In our annual election, jack Byer and Carter Gin- gold were elected to the presidency and vice-presi- dency. Fourth row: Scarano, Petricone, Bleznak, Amerman, Cohen, Garry, Neroni, Macon.

SOPHOMORE CLASS The Sophomore Class, the class of '54, is one of the larger and more varied classes in school. There are boys from many states and several foreign countries among us, and we feel that as a group we have as many different interests and types as we have members. Scholastically, for instance, Bill Dent and Harold Wells are consistently at the top of the Dean's List, and several others not far behind them are from our class. The same two have led the merit list and several more of us have found high places thereon. Many of our group hold positions of authority in the military organization of the corps. And in extracurricular activities, the class of '54 is distinguished. Members of our class have found places for themselves in every sport organized as of this writing: Football, Cross-Country, Soccer, Basket- ball, Wrestling, Rifle Team, and Winter Track. They also serve as members of the Skirmisher, Glee Club, and other groups. Thus we have passed our sophomore year at B. M. I. For some of us it has been a noteworthy suc- cess. For others, although progress has been less spectacular, we all feel that we have achieved some- thing. Fourth row: Willsey, Brooks, Swayze, Apell, Baldwin, Yiehmann, Krawciw, Leone, Phillips, Sohayda. Third row: Olsen, Tauch, Thomas, Dent, VVells, Atheras, Cantlamo, Hibbert, Thompson, R.
