FOURTH YEAR-SECTION ONE fin-' OUB years have quickly passed and it seems but a short time since ji . . . ' . we, as diligent aspirants to the priesthood. entered Cathedral Col- lege as timid high school freshmen. We have now reached that lQfl,if,ynQ5 renowned position of superiority where, we are lavished with the boundless privileges of Cathedral seniors f???l. , This past year has been a very successful one for the class of 4Bl both in the academic field feven though this might be disputedl and in the field of sports while no small measure of our success is due to our capable class officers. So at this time we would like to take the opportunity of publicly thank- ing Michael Donovan, our class president, Patrick O'Connor, vice-president and William Anthony, secretary, for their fine executive leadership and example which, Thank God, has kept us from the sacred portals of that deplorable room known as lug Since we are all firm believers in that old axiom-all work and no play makes Iohnnie a dull senior-we have taken a very active part in the athletic field. Our class basketball team finally captured the inter-class crown which we have been anxiously seeking since First Year. We wish to salute our fine and able coach, Pat O'Connor, and the players-Tom McNiff, Bed Callahan, Big Ice Cleary, Iimmy Heffernan, Tom O'Connor, Iohn Pinhead Daly, Two Point McCormack, lohn McGann, Bernard E Buckley, Hugo McKinstry, and Bill Anthony. whose sterling court play earned us the championship. We were also well represented on the varsity basketball team by Pat OConnor, next year's captain, Mikei Donovan, and lim Scott, and we look forward to a success- ful baseball season with Captain Ioe Cleary, Nick Russo, lim Heffernan, and lohn McGann upholding the honor of 4Bl. ' In regard to the aforementioned axiom we are also firm believers in its converse which is well evidenced by such scholars as Eugene Burnikel, Edward Fox, and Iohn Shay. Mercury Mcliinstry and lim O'Brien also amaze every- one in the Physics class with their scientific knowledge. Iames Scott and Bernard Buckley are setting the pace in the latest coiffure styles, and the flashy clothes of T, A. O'Connor and Ed Porky Farrell demon- strate what the well dressed student should not wear. Ioe Canter, who was absent from our midst for a year because of illness, has finally recovered and has returned to us once again. Ioe is the fiery class-debater who has never been known to lose an argument to anyone regardless of his opponent. At this point we hail Benito's representative and ltaly's native supporter in our class, Ambassador Nicholas Russo, who spends the greater part of his history period discussing the international situation with Ed Fox, another gallant armchair general. Sal Sardegna is the electrician to whom we are indebted for the repairing of the class bell, and we also Wish to thank Bob Conlin, Al Sledzaus and Will l-lalpin for their kind assistance in the Latin class. Now it becomes our happy duty to thank the members of the Faculty for their kind patience and assistance during the past year which has been very fruitful not just because We have become high school seniors but because We have come one year closer to our priestly goal. Until next year, when we will return as college freshmen, We bid you adieu. IOHN R. MCG-ANN, 4B1. CATHIEDRAL COLLEGE ANNUAL

FOURTH YEAR-SECTION TWO in OW that you have turned the page, gentle reader, and have finished .J-3, reading what the lesser half of the Fourth Year has done in the H' Y 3 t' . . . . ff past year, it must be a relief to find yourself in the more pleasant Q' Q5 and intellectual company of the members of this class. ln the first row center, you behold our class president, Hugh Mulligan, who has to brave our verbal onslaughts occasionally and a barrage of priority-declared utensils daily as he tries to keep us quiet between class. On his left and right are our other class officers, Gerry Ryan and Henry Cpronounced ON-REED Philips. Further back in the gallery aisles, you might notice a fellow with a money- mad glint in his eye. I-le's lohn Gribbon, our Propagation collector, whose untiring request for money has kept our class at the top of the list in this worthy cause. You know, when you get right down to facts, we have a remarkable class. We have the lohn Kieran and Rubinoff of Cathedral in Tom Gradilone. Then theres Don Gallagher. the class artist and vocalist. As a lover of the classics, we have Iohn Rogers, whose interest in Virgil amazes Father Wienlich. And, of course, Louie Naylor1's sharp clothes could not be equalled even by Adolphe Menjou the should live so long as to try tol. Iimmy Riley and Pres Mulligan have proved their mettle in the world of the drama by staging radio plays for the school during assembly periods. CMr. Orson Welles, please note.J Classy Observations . . . Moich Kelly stealing an early snack before lunch . . . Iimrny Bradley's wise cracks coming from deep in the heart of the back of the room . . . Baron Sadowsky's angelic look if he happens to be caught misbehaving by Father Kelly . . . Ditto folly Rogers . . . Eddie Boyle's embarrassment while explaining why he missed last night's Latin translation . . . McCarthy's hearty laugh when one of the boys cracks a joke no matter how corny it might be . . . Of course no class record would be complete without a word of praise to the members of the class team. We only won two of our four games, but no one can say we didn't try. So thanks to: Messrs. Gribbon, Rogers, Adams, Sheehan, Cummings, Naylon, Mulligan, McDade, McCarthy, Hughes and Philips. However, remember that old Brooklyn cry, Wait till next year. Well, that's about all folks, we Wish to thank the faculty for the guidance, both spiritual and educational which they gave us during the past year. We hope that when you next read about our class we will all be college men. Bye now. MICHAEL F. MALONEY CATHQEDRAL COLLEGE ANNUAL
