Ieremiah F. O'Brien St. Saviour Parish, Brooklyn Courage leudf to f7EiI'l'6'lI . . . -SENECA Ierry has been dogged by misfortune. Twice in his high school career, illness postponed the pursuance of his studies. Yet he fought his way back bravely and now ranks as one of the outstanding members of the class. He is the editor of the Gargoyle and has made a Worthwhile job of it. For each issue he has painstakingly directed it so that it lives up to the high literary standards set by previous years. As a leader, we saw his direction as the Pres- ident of the St. Thomas More Society and as a member of the Student Council. Furthermore, Ierry has demonstrated his prow- ess, as a speaker, by having won the College Oratorical Contest while in Fifth Year. Another example of his varied ability was his portrayal of Father Darcy, the main character of this year's Academy play in which ferry displayed a talent for dramatics. The past has only been a test for Terry and having displayed such courage by a determined fight for recovery, we feel sure that he has not been found wanting. A stout heart as his be- speaks a future filled only with happiness. William I. Pigott Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish, Brooklyn HEIILi7l7'cIIZCI? if Ike cmwzzilzg qualify And jmzierzre all the jmrriafz af greg! bem't.r. --LOWELL Bill is the quiet type. So quiet in fact that one hardly realizes that he is present. Yet he has always struck the class as being one of the most sincere fellows We have been privileged to meet. Hard plugging is the foundation of his work and he has been most diligent in his studies. For three years he has conscientiously worked as a catechist with the poor unfortunate children of St. Peter's. Three years he has also spent in the St. Thomas More Society. For diversion Bill has sung in the choir, ln fact he has devoted six years to the choir, longer than anyone else in the school. Besides, Bill has been in the St. Iohn Berch- man's Society for a number ot years. With a record of such industry behind him Bill is certain to reap the fruits of success. CATHEDRAL COLLEGE ANNUAL

CATHEDRAL COLLEGE ANNUAL Thomas S. Minogue St. Teresa of the Little Flower Parish, Woodside lVhc'11 Ififb eyer are .rmiliaig .SllH'L 'Iii' like iz morn in .rj11'ilzg. -IRISH FOLK SONG Torn will always be remembered for two things in particular, his exploitation of the Emerald lsle and his dramatic ability. Many indeed have been the times he has given voluble expression of his love for Ireland. He has often made our moments pleasant by enlightening us on the delights of the Old Sod , whether it be Kil- kenny or some other part ot Ireland. On the boards his fine performances have enkindled him to us as or real Thespian. As the young curate in Father Malachy's Miracle and as Ioe Short in the Least of My Brethren , he demonstrated the acting ability in him. Yet he has devoted himself as ct member of both the ANNUAL and Gargoyle staffs, besides being an active member of the Literature Com- mittee, St. Iohn Berchman's, and the St. Thomas More Society. Work coupled with an easy winning manner has made Tom a most gracious aspirant for the Holy Priesthood. Edward I. Nolan St. Thomas Acquinas Parish, Brooklyn A nzfzrr ?Il07'7lZ0ll.l'.l which in modern duyr I ' If No lwa of earth .r degezzemte .mm could mire. -HQMER Ed is the Charles Atlas of Cathedral. Two hundred twenty pounds of bone and muscle on a six foot three frame bespeak a person oi gar- gantuan proportions in our midst. Yet this mass of flesh and blood are only a cloak for a kind heart and a fine fellow. Twice a week for three years he had trudged down to St. Peter's Mission to minister Christ's Gospel to some poor unfortunate children. With- out praise or reward Ed has done a most com- mendable job. For several years he has been an active mem- ber ot the choir and now is one of Father Klar- mann's standby's. Other activities that he has taken a great interest in are the St. Iohn Berchman's Society and the St. Thomas More Society. Using his height to advantage, Ed has been a member of the Class Basketball Team for the past four years, and has led them to two suc- cessive school championships. Yet with it all, he has diligently persevered in his studies and has given a noteworthy dem- onstration as a most fitting applicant for work in the field of Christ.

CATHEDRAL COLLEGE ANNUAL Anthony I. Praitano St. Gertrude Parish, Edgemere Fo1'eIfJ0uglJt and prudenre are Ibe proper qlzfzlitier of 41 lender. -TACITUS A sufficient tribute to Tony would be to say that he has been class president for all our six years in Cathedral. His admirable leadership has carried him to the head of the Student Coun- cil. He has been a member of the St. Thomas More Society, Gargoyle, and the College Basket- ball Team. He has further distinguished himself by his acting abilities. In two Christmas plays Tony held the lead and this year is importantly cast in the Least of My Brethren. But it is in two other fields that he really stands out. One is in studies, where he has al- ways been near the top, and the other is, as the chief proponent for the garden spot of the world, as he claims it to be-his native Edge- mere. Tony with his likeable personality and fiery vigor has already cut for himself a healthy swath that can only lead him to a successful future. Dominic I. Schiraldi Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Parish, Brooklyn Sa murh one mmz can do, That doe: both nfl am! k110ul.,,-MARVELL Dominic is an unassuming fellow who takes no credit for a real sacrifice on his part. For four times a Week for the past three years he has given over his extra time and effort for souls in the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine. Yet he has found time to engage in the St. Thomas More and St. lohn Berchman Societies, together with playing on the Class Basketball Team. Besides Dom gave a very amusing per- formance in the Christmas play. However that which is closest to his heart are the interests of the choir. For five years he has been a most dutiful chorister in the study of Gregorian Chant, and we are sure he has glean- ed much from this pursuit. Having given such a sincere demonstration of earnestness and effort, we are sure that Dominic will always fare Well.
