The Officers of the Senior Class, seated left to right, are: Iames Kaveney, Treasurer, Donald Guerrein, President, Iohn Tinti, Secretary: and Ronald Restifo, Vice-President. It is their responsibility to see that the various func- tions and projects of their class are done efficiently and successfully. They are answerable to the Administration and their Class Advisor for the gen- eral welfare and conduct of their members. We salute them for a fine piece of work in leading and representing us during the past year, our most important at Prep. 5 Our hard-working Senior Class Ad- visor, Father Daniel Martin, has guided the Class of '50 over many rough spots during the past two years. His confidence and personal in- terest in all members of the class has undoubtedly been the driving force behind our successful years at Prep. We, the Senior Class, leave behind us the work. the joys, and the achievements of our eventful years at Prep. It is with heavy hearts, yet fond memories. that we depart. We sincerely trust that our record has been satisfactory for both students and faculty. Never to be forgotten is the interest that our teachers have shown. Their every lesson, every word of advice, was given to help us in the difficult years before us. While many of us may have fallen short of great expectations, we have tried to live up to most of the demands imposed upon us. The long list of Senior honor students attests to the fact that '50 was not wanting in intellectual ability. Results of the annual NROTC competitive examinations showed a larger number of successful examinees than ever before. Yes, the class will leave behind a more than satisfactory scholastic record. On the spiritual side of the ledger, we more 26 than made up for any shortcomings in other depart- ments. We feel, as do many others, that it was the fine example of the Senior Class which insured the tremendous success of our annual Retreat. We are proudest of this fact-mainly because it shows that we are able to apply well the good things we have learned, that our religious training at Prep has not been in vain. Finally, in all humility again, we leave to Prep its first scholastic football championship in the his- tory of the school. The Spirit of '50, with the loyal help from underclassmen, brought success at last for all of us. The support of fans, faculty, and students was a great incentive for winning. Th-ese, then, are our accomplishments. We leave Prep as wiser and better young men. That is as it should be. We only pray that this spirit will drive all of.us to our ultimate goal, happiness on earth and God in Heaven.
