I CATHIEDRAL COLLEGE ANNUAL Anthony I. Praitano St. Gertrude Parish, Edgemere UF0l'?lb0Ilgl7l and prlzdenre are the proper qzmliner nf fl leu:ler. -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 oi 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 uture. Dominic I. Schiraldi Our Lady of Mt, Carmel Parish, Brooklyn So much one mmz can do, That doe: both acl and kIIOW.!,-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. Iohn 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.

Ieremiah F. O'Brien St. Saviour Parish, Brooklyn C0lm1gu lcmdx lo b!!rlI't'll . . . -SENECA Ierry has been dogged by misfortune. Twice in his high school career, illness postponed the pursuance ol 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 oi 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 ol the St, Thomas More Society and as a member ot 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 ot his varied ability was his portrayal ol Father Darcy, the main character of this year's Academy play in which Ierry displayed a talent for dramatics. The past has only been a test lor Ierry 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 luture tilled only with happiness. William I. Pigott Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish, Brooklyn End1m1m'e ii' Ibn' froiwziug qmzlily Arm' jmlicwcl .rll lbe 17iI.f.t'jIll1 of grcal beurI.f. -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 oi St. Peter's. Three years he has also spent in the St. Thomas More Society. For diversion Bill has sung in the choir. In 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 oi years. With a record ot such industry behind him Bill is certain to reap the truits ol success. CATHEDRAL COLLEGE ANNUAL

Inflexible in fniifay izzifincilzle Ill a1'm.t'. -BEATTIE lake is a hard plodding individual. Method- ical in everything he does, he is that admirable kind of person who seeks only perfection in all undertakings. He has done well in his studies and has that calm assurance that comes from being well- prepared. He is a beaver for work and has shown this as Book Review Editor of the Gargoyle, member of the library staff, and the St. Thomas More Society, Moreover, lake is the choir's stczunchest ex- ponent and most active member, ever ready to enlighten or impress one with the glories of Plain Chant. Besides, he has done fine Contra- ternity work, having dealt for three years with high school groups. But it is with Maryknoll that Iake's heart really lies. After graduation he leaves to study with them for foreign mission work. Knowing him as We do, God will most assuredly bless this most industrious clerical aspirant and friend of ours, known to all as lake , Iohn F.

And he has shown real evidence of school spirit by a most enthus- iastic and varied participation in extracurricular activities. For the past few years he has been the class representative for the Apostleship of Prayer besides engaging in the Confraternity of Chris- tian Doctrine and acting as a member of the Gargoyle Staff. He also claims membership among the Father Ryan Players. He has given time and effort to be active in the St. Iohn Berchman's and St. Thomas More Societies besides having bolstered many a class team with his adeptness at basketball. Iohn has distinguished himself in another way, and that it is by lightening many a class with his very humorous laugh, This he lets out often very suddenly and at belated times bringing with it a chuckle from everyone. All in all though, Iohn is a very sincere and likeable fellow, whose taste for extracurricular activity can spin for him a future filled only with success. r t CATI'IEDRAL COLLEGE ANNUAL
