THIRD YEAR-SECTION ONE qyiw ,AKING pen in hand at the half way mark of our course here at i Cathedral, l shall'try to portray for you our class happenings as may they occurred during the past year. f g Qi To appropriately open our little history we wish to convey our thanks to the class officers, who have served our interests so faith- fully for the past year, First to our President, loe Ryang then to the Vice-President. lim Reilly, and Secretary, lohn Preston. But hold a minute, here comes Willie Flynn, the class Treasurer, who has just returned from investing the class' entire revenue in a brand new lUc Defense Saving Stamp. Next we turn our attention to the Campus Martius, where men strive to win victory and honor, where 3Bl strives, period Yet in all sincerity, it is this narrator's belief that Third Year-Section One has given its share, however little it Was, towards filling the ranks of the school teams. Ed Wroblewski, Iohn Gallagher, Bob McLaughlin, and Iohn Preston played splendid basketball on the Varsity. The I.V. found true fighters in players such as Peanuts Tavella and lim Armstrong, Our valiant class team put up a good fight in the intra- mural games and were overcome by sheer weight fSo Cap. Reilly believedl. This team was composed of a variety of ALL STARS: Boyd, Flynn, Burke, and Weichsel rounding out the roster. Prep baseball has last year's veterans in our Dom De Napoli and Ioe Ryan. And this year we hope that lack Hayes and Red Enterlin will be wearing the Blue and White of Cathedral. Not to be forgotten in the line-up is Pivot Smith, a line team manager. Since the President has declared that this is a period of national emer- gency, 3Bl thought it would constitute an act of patriotic duty to take on a few defensive measures. Some suggested that we acquire a set of blackout curtains, like the ones Father Klarmann has for the Music room. Since the Draft Boards are at this time seeking men Who have had some experience in military affairs we have begun a program of between class maneuvers. Here are a few of our departments. As Field Marshal, we have MacArthur Soehngen. CThe originator of the use of the Retreat in modern Warfarel. They tell us that mastery of the air is important in this fight. So we have Air Marshall Ed Wroblewski, assisted by Generals Tom Brown and Corona Mac. Our signal corps goes into action when Major Tudney Maloof and buck private Benito Serletti start beating it out on the desk. Food and supplies are under the com- mand of Colonel De Napoli and Sergeant Zeterberg. Clf you are Wondering about the difference in their ranks, you should see the way the Colonel packs away suppliesl Second Lieutenant Ed Martin heads the camouflage depart- ment. Then we have Yardbird Tim O'Shenko Flynn as sort of one man intelli- gence force. No army is complete Without a few good diplomats to back it up at the home office. Richter and Fecher act in this role. To top off our domineering little band, we have those expert strategists Coviello and 'Guckianf' who work out all our battle tactics on a chessboard. That about winds up the list of our untried heroes, Whom we think could just as easily wind up the Axis. THOMAS F. SULLIVAN, '45 CATHEDRAL COLLEGE ANNUAL

THIRD YEAR-SECTION TWO E have now completed our third successful year at Cathedral-a year which finds us healthier, happier and wiser than ever before. Else Through the untiring efforts of the faculty we have learned about right angles and triangles, conjugations and declensions, inter- nationalism and totalitarianism. There is one thing though, which seems to be in every one of us and that is a feeling of sprinkling the school year with fun and laughter. Our smiling class President, Ed McGinness, has the superman job of preserving order between periods and next to him is our Vice-President, Big Pat Moynihan. Certainly we need a new sentence to express the commendable work our class secretary. Frank McMullen has done. lohn Iinx Heffernan, the actor Hollywood is looking for, gave free movies between classes with his mirrors. Lately he has had competition from other members of the class. Do you see Ioe Lauro, the perfect specimen from Coney Island on the other side of the picture? He ought to shine out because the day we had our pictures taken, loe came to school sporting a snappy suit. Dan Head Leahy always had his lunch eaten before this certain loe. One day Danny spiced his sandwiches with soap. Ioe took a healthy bite and-well, you know how one reacts to a mouth- ful of soap. KNO wonder they call him the Head. l Such members of our class as Pete Arcario, john Heffernan, lohn Henry, Francis Curran, Iohn Abrams, Bob Goodwin and Ed Starr made commendable efforts in delivering their speeches. In the school oratorical contest Pete Arcario showed such poise and gave such a fiery and emphatic speech that he was chosen the best public speaker of Third Year. Although we did not win the intermural basketball championship, still we did rank high in the class standings. This is due to the playing ability of Vin Kelly, Bill Fleming, Gene Muntzner, Iohn Dacey, Iohn McElligott, loe Lauro, Dan Leahy, Ed Starr, Frank McMullen, Ed Muhs and Pat Moynihan. Bob Fitzpatrick, Tom Sharkey, Frank McLernon, Ioe Deegan and Iohn Snyder gave their support to our lunior Varsity Basketball team. Contact: Danny Beyer would like to know of someone who he could defeat in handball. Every day around eleven-thirty when Pete Y-Xrcario peels his orange, Ed Browne turns around for a slice or two. Phil Charles roams around the room to Contact his friends. Every day he seems to have another seat. Bob Fitzpatrick, Crusher Roberts, Ed McGinness, Marty Dennehy and lohn Gal- lagher form the lncorporated French Broadcasting System. Whenever someone is on the spot for an answer they do anything from holding up objects to turning themselves into contortions in order to give him a hint as to the answer. Bow Tie Fogarty, the pigeon man and sound effects man McCarthy are two fellows we couldn't do without. What would the class be like if George l-loefner didn't break up a class disturbance with quit hors'in around. Commodore McMullen and General O'Neill are busy preparing their armies and navies of paper boats and planes to help MacArthur. This, my dear reader, is a bird's-eye view of the personalities and happen- ings of our class. We as a class of Cathedral wish to thank all our professors who have helped us progress both spiritually and intellectually along the road Of life- iosEPH GRAU, '45. CATHIEDRAL COLLEGE ANNUAL
