CLASS 11-4 The scene is laid in the teachers' room at any time of any day during the school year. One professor Cpronounced pro-fess-eur D, a look of horror on his face, rises and says: I have a period in X1--l. The other teachers look sympathetically at the latest victim and sigh sorrowfully. VVhat is the cause of this feel- ing of depression? l really don't know. Permit me to escort you through this classroom which lies in the dungeons of G.H.S. Opening the door, one is greeted by screams, groans, shrieks, a symphony of thuds and crashes, and the other cus' tomary sounds which accompany deep study and concentration. Within our four walls we have a number of wacky citizens, and the following lines will introduce most of them to you. There is Victor Vere who is auditing his classmates for the vocal spot in his band. They all say that Paul Loosemore has the job clinched. The runners-up in the vocal contest include Steve Vickers, Larry Baird, Fred Bart, Pat Cooper and Probert Dairs, George Bugiardini, the Fernchman with the Huid vocabulary, is another, one sentence from him and it seems like a rainy night in Rio. Talking about jokers, we have a lad here by the name of Greg CGrazy Legsl Paupst, who, together with CRudolphj Brunetti, CNosyD Morelli, CMooseD Nanuza and CLazyD Kozlowski, are the little angels of the room- black angels that isl But Di Domenico, alias The Gimp , beats them all. Now on the peaceful side, we're wondering what's troubling Allen, Demers and The Orbit, 1957-1958 i Fernandez. They appear composed on the exterior, but you can take a guess what's inside. It seems as if the Maple Leaf Gardens are paying off Gasy and Gaspari the way they're bragging about the Leafs. The Fatfreld-lXlcBatt feud is nothing compared to the battels of the lohn Sikolich Clulius GaesarD and Al hlcGaul CNapoleon Bonapartel. VVe also have a cricket fan in the class by the name of Jeffrey Smith. It is believed that Gasse and Dairs are filing for ltalian citizenship. If you have never seen blusters, take a walk into our room and see the way lklister Purtill razzes Kolitch, Lyons, Platt, and Steedg it will kill youl Our great QD group leader, Paul Vvilliams, is continually forgetting the attendance book in another room. He only wants to get a drink of water. VVe also have a group called The Three Musketeers , made up of CLucky GasturaD, Brian O'Brien and Mark lVlekez. ln our midst are some outstanding personalities such as Stan Qumbol Kosakowski Clnterscholastic All-Star GuardD and Lou CThe BeatD larabeck Cex-Westdale Starb then there's our great junior football star, CGolden BoyD Walt Starling, and the featherweight champion, CBlue LineD lVlcVey. Oh yes, thereis another 'loe Dimaggio in our class, Mr. Wonderful himself-Pat O,Day. Oh yes, l forgot one more person, joe CSabuD Iannuzzi. His one ambition is to collect his pigmy tribe and take over the school. Well, this finishes our roundup for another year, so, on this line, we'll hang our close. Page Seventy-three

Class lklission Representative is ROSS CMouseD BARLOW, some- body's answer to Rocco Perri. He raffles off hot watches, lighters and jewellery every Monday morn- ing. He has a partner in crime, namely REAGEN CI3atsD DEVINE. This boy taught the little leaguers how to shoot pool during a public-speaking class: MAILLOUX, COUGHLIN and CHENERY unani- mously agree this is very educational. The class does have some culture though - GARBAS aud DROTAR prove to be up-and-coming musicians. DENNIS GARBAS is also our class guide . . . the blind leading the blind? Turning to athletics we also have several repre- sentatives. KIRK and WILCOX are sensational foot- ball rookies. PAUL SZEP, JOHN MCCOLL and VARIO GRANDOMENICO Cthe Mediterranean Irishmanj represent Iunior Football. Senior Water- polo men are CLAUDE BLAIS and VIC VERTICCHIO. TOM BROOKS of the Junior Waterpolo team is captain and led his team mates to Page Seventy-two slaughter every Wednesday' afternoon. .TIM GLEN is our man for hockey. He can be found at six in the morning burning up the ice at Hamilton Forum. The rest of the class also demonstrates hobbies. CLIFFE and CLAIRMONT for example, seem to have a growing business manufacturing absentee slips. MIKE LEANARD Cwhile polishing his motor- cycle bootsl tirelessly watches KOVACS and BROWN practise yogi. They have perfected sleep- ing in Latin class with their eyes open. MORABITO and MCDERMOTT you will be happy to hear are still petitioning for a coffee break at 10.30 a.m. FURYES and OSIOR study Chinese at night school, whereas ALLEN and BASWICK have resorted to Shlabbovian. BOB CTwo Tonl PETRIE and FRED TAYLOR still practise wrestling, and remarkably it's FRED that gets crushed in the process. Last, but by no means least, are the class Pogo's, JOHN RAINER and DAN MOSER. We feel sorry for their elevator shoes that get trampled on during class changes. The preciding was a partially fictitious description of our class. Thank goodness, you weren't there!

THE GRADUATES OF 1958, CATHEDRAL HIGH The Dedication to me of THE ORBIT for 1958 is an honour for which I am deeply grateful. In expressing thanks for this signal privilege, I do so with full cognizance of what THE ORBIT represents. It is the symbol of a renowned school, and the voice and record, in story and picture, of its graduating class. How truly has the little acorn grown to a mighty oak! ltlfho could have prophesied, in the days of the first graduating class of St. 11fIary's High, that the insignificant, struggling school would achieve such marvellous growth and that it would become one of the foremost Catholic educational institutions of our country? Today its graduates fill with distinction positions of influence and respon- sibiliy in Church and State. As priests they serve God not only in Ontario and other portions of Canada, but also as His missionaries in various parts of the world. As Catholic layrnen they have carried the name and fame of Cathedral High into every Held of culture, professional and com- mercial endeavour. The great cities of this continent, as well as the humblest towns, have witnessed their success and their integrity. The pattern and traditions they have established are yours to maintain and enhance. As you go forth to join their ranks, do not forget the debt you owe to those who, under God, have made possible your Catholic education and trainingf Thanh Him for the brave prelates and layiuen who, with courage and foresight, launched our school nearly fifty years ago. Praise Him for the Bishops, Clergy and parents whose sacrifices and planning have given us a magnificent school with so worthy a record. Ash Hinz to bless the projected Bishop Ryan High School and to hasten the day when it's reality will crown the work and gladden the heart of the good Bishop whose name it will bear. May God shower His graces upon you, Graduates of 1958. llfhenever you go or whatever you do, may He always keep you faithful to the spiritual lessons received in your Alma Mater. And may our Immaculate Motlier, to whom your Year 1958 is so dear, protect you during life and lead you safely to her Son. . ' X A Brief History of Monsignor Anderson . . . Editors Note: Monsignor Anderson was born in Ireland and came to Hamilton in 1904. He is a mem- ber of the first graduating class of St. Mary's High Allen County Public UDIQ School, the original Catholic High School in Ham- QJOWSDSTBT SUBQI ilton. After receiving his B.A. at St. Michael's POBox 2270 College in the University of Toronto, Monsignor Fonwayne 'N 46801,2?7o Anderson entered St. Augustine's Seminary where he was ordained in 1925 by Bishop Kidd of Calgary, which diocese he had joined in the same year. He was named Chancellor of the Diocese in 1929 and Diocesan Consultor in 1930. After serving as parish priest in Taber and Drumheller, Monsignor Anderson became pastor of St. Joseph's, Calgary, in 1946, which post he now holds. He was appointed Domestic Prelate of His Holiness Pope Pius XII in 1957. Monsignor Anderson is the author of the very fine history of our school which appeared in the 1951 edition of the Orbit. P.S. He is the only member of the first graduating class! Page Two The orbit, 1957-1958
