He is an exee Jtional civic leader reco 'nized on all sides for his unselfish devo- 3 tion to the city of his birth. He is a world-figure, too, for on his desk lay ilans for Montezuma Seminarv and lar 'e ex Jenditures for Euro Jean relief. , 2 Nevertheless, he always has time for Prepsters.

He watches us from his window as We arrive at school in the morning, and as we leave it in the afternoon. He is ever present at Friday morning Mass, for banquets and Quarter Sessions, at basketball games. He encourages us along the path of scholarship and intellectual achievement through honors and scholastic sweat- ers. He sponsors the Litterathon to bring out the best of a boy's bent for writing, and publicizes the better works. He is never far from any one of us, since he is so accessible to a boy with, or without, a problem . . . Bishop Gannon gives us his word-good, sound advice for a Friday morning medita- tion. Here His Excellency drives home a point which the student will not easily for get. The Bishop gives us his encouragement. Here at a varsity basketball game, he shares the uncertainty and anxiety of other fans. .,.X Q S5 ' if wr,,,, While he stresses the spiritual and the intellectual, His Excellency is also interested in our physical development. As the Athletic Director, Father James Gannon, looks on, he awards the first cross-country trophy to Father Francis Gallagher. As we kneel to receive our diplomas on that warm June evening, His Excellency realizes for us a dream that has guided us through high school. Most important of all, the Bishop gives us a dream for tomorrow, a dream of an even bigger and better school. This is not for ourselves, but for the Prepsters of the future who will trod the old familiar path- ways. The plans of the new wing are tangible evidence of this in- tangible dream. s He dreams about us, too! As he parts with us at graduation, a little sadly perhaps, he sees in us to- morrow's leaders -- keen of mind, strong in will, trusting in God -- and then he knows the satisfac- tion of a job well done. He knows that through the school he built and maintains, there will enter the world young men iltted to cope with its intricacies and its challenges. For his interest, 'for his kindness, for his gifts, especially of himself, we are profoundly grateful, and we pray that we will be the men of tomorrow that he seesiin us today. . ..l. .ii ,,,-. ,,,-1 In . ,nr Wg, l l if U4 ,Q is J Q e , ,V i',!En ian we in if A Q1 V MII' VH Wald rl '1- ,, 1' Agp QE E ,flag Q in HHMINISIHHIIHN WI E lllllll I 'llllllllll Wise and far-sighted government is a basic necessity for any city. In our little com- munity, the fundamental responsibility of administration and authority is assigned to the Very Reverend Msgr. Robert B. McDon- ald, Headmaster. Aiding him are Reverend Daniel J. Martin, Assistant Headmaster and Dean of Studies, and Reverend Francis D. Gallagher, Assistant Headmaster and Dean of Discipline. Multiple and intricate are the problems they face in guiding our ship of state through the troubled waters of high school, but the flourishing condition of Prep's bark is ample proof of the sage and kindly care of its gubernators. Chief executive in this community of nine hundred citizens is Very Reverend Msgr. Robert ll. McDon- ald, Headmaster. His office is the nerve center of the school-to it flow a myriad of problems, and from it emanate the decisions for- mulating school policy and de- termining school discipline. Mon- signor McDonald's helpfulness and understanding will always be re- membered. Reverend Daniel J. Martin Reverend Francis D.

Appropriately, then, our small city is dedicated to the great task of education. For this purpose, an array of thoroughly com- petent teachers has been provided to lead us along the paths of learning. They strive earnestly to sharpen our thought processes and reasoning pow- ers, all the while imparting with each class a little more of their seemingly inexhaustible store of information. A sound mind is their motto as ,,.4I0 uf they guide us along the sometimes torturous paths of English, social studies, mathematics, science, and language, and mould us toward a definite sta- tion in life. Deeply they realize that knowledge alone can be a danger, and so they impress at every turn the great lesson ofthe power of the will in directing all things to their true goal - God and Eternity. Re- ligion is therefore not only a subject, but a way of life for us at Prep. To them, God has delegated authority and great responsibility. With all our hearts, we pay tribute, and thank them for their fruitful endeavor. M -I ' I Rev. Robert M. McNally O.S.F.S., A.B., S.T.L. Sister Mary Elaine S.S.J., A.B. HQ Sister M.

The Crucifix is a lesson in every room, the Bishop's talks, the religious bulle- tin, Confession itself gives valuable principles promoting moral maturity. Our Catholic Ac- tion Group learns devotion by doing.

IHITH 'PA GH'I' zz J APPLIED Religion is applied here in another sense as well. In our metaphorical metropolis, we have a group of young men who in appearance are no different from any others, but who in their aims and ambitions are different. These are the St. Mark's Seminarians. These lads attend the same classes, engage in the same sports, and participate in the same activities. Yet, under the guidance of Father Richard Fitzgerald, Director, and of Father E. James Caldwell, Assistant Director, each one is being molded into an Alter Christus, Another Christ. Being thus indoc- trinated into the routine of prayer, study, and play each one advances closer to the day when he will stand at the foot of the altar and recite the words, Introibo ad altare Dei. Stephen McNierney, Guy Patrick, John McFadden, Richard Mayer, Frank Schossler, and Robert Susa demonstrate their study techniques, but William Kuba is apparently enjoying that seventh inning stretch. Or is he just consulting? While Francis Petrini fires the T.V. set, John Mc- Dowell, Michael Davis, and Joseph Schossler take on a chess problem, and William Phillips, James Lamb, Stanley Kissel, and Thomas Gigliotti just sit and wait. Michael Campbell, Richard Wiesen, Francis Haas, John Goggins, and Howard King accept the Standing-Room-Only situation. In the wholesome atmosphere of the Seminary, the students learn to work and pray in the proper pro- portion. Dressed in cassock and surplice, the Semi- narians march out after Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament. y a 1 vw 4,-N ww Q Af, 5. , - ff 2.5, Q 6. .,z .N ,rl .W T 'Sym , ' 522 -give, 11 JVM .,. -M :fm 1' , ,.-K mm 5 , 527115, N, F fi ,.

Bishop Gannon used this as the model of our own Quarter Sessions when he, in turn, comes Emphasis on the sound mind and scholarly at- tainments has been, and is, one of Prep's finest traditions. In fact, our very name as a Cathedral school is reminiscent of the great Church schools of the past and their eminent traditions of learning. Prep's ambition, then, is to link lessons to life by providing a firm foundation for any walk in life. The Classical Course looks to the priesthood and law, the Scientific Course prepares for en- gineering and research, the Latin-Scientific Course, combining the features of both, prepares for medicine, pharmacy, business and related fields. Within the scholastic orbit, further incentive is given through honor cards for those constantly maintaining high marks, and a scholastic sweater for the highest average in the school. Incentive for creative writing is provided in the Litter- athong for the spoken word, in the annual Ora- torical Contest. That these efforts keep the stu- dent mentally alert is evident when seven boys passed the NROTC tests, and another, Fred An- thony, won a Ford Foundation scholarship.

Every citizen has the right to express his views on paper through a free press. In our yearbook, the Literulae, we present a summary of the re- ligious, educational, social, and athletic activities that represent our civic achievements. The staff which has presented this memory book is divided into a business group, headed by Father Daniel Martin, and an editorial board supervised by Father James Sperry. The business staff took care of the financial worries through a patron drive, a subscription campaign, and various other projects. The Business Staff takes over the financial worries.

The editorial staff had Richard Brugger as pho- tography editor, while Robert Susa and Richard Mayer were co-editors responsible for written material. An executive board consisting of John Walsh, George Albertson, Dominic Cagnoli, and Joseph Schmitt assisted them, especially in ar- ranging the biographies. It is in the fond hope that it will prove pleasing to you that we present our best, the Literulae of 1953. CITIZE SHIP IIEMA ll Mr. Cameraman of 1953 is Richard Brugger. Photog- raphy is the heart, and the very first phase, of yearbook work. It is also the hardest, for there is no estimating the thousand rounds of camera-clicks, and the long hours of developing, enlarging, and printing. Under the strain of deadlines and insistent demands, Dick maintained his composure and accomplished his task. We appreciate his untiring efforts and superb workmanship. The next phase of yearbook work is to find financial sup- port. Here, the Business Staff steps in-first of all, with a patron drive. In the picture to the right, Father Martin consults with patron-izers Howie Kraus, Bill Lichtinger, Larry Speice, and Bob Zentis. With the zealous support of a large section of the class, the drive met with unusual success and helped to keep the presses rolling. Lower, right: Co-editors Bob Susa and Dick Mayer, and Sports Editor Fred Condon go over written items under the supervision of Father Sperry. This is the third phase of yearbook work, the writing. Long and arduous are the hours spent over a paragraph, a sentence, or sometimes even a word! The Senior Biographies, especially, de- manded the help of many not listed officially with the staff. Sincerely we appreciate their assistance. Below: As all good books must come to press, a circulation staff represents the last phase of the work. Pictured below are members of this staff: George Albertson, Jack Geiger, Bob Hoffman, Dom Cagnoli, Bob Szoszorek, Joe Schmitt, Russ Pluta, and Tom Madras.

It is a band that is hard to beat. This musical organization has been putting on its spec- tacular half-time shows and entertaining at rallies and as- semblies for seven years now - five of these under the able direction of Mr. Francis Gerzina. It can play anything from spirited marches to a soothing overture. Even without a string section, Mr. Gerzina does a fine job during the concert season, thus enabling the band to play at various other Cath- olic high schools. The band has come a long way in seven years and now ranks among the best. May they continue to improve in years to come! adam The clarinets, with their trilling notes, are the major R. Duska, W.

X14 fleas af ' Prep's new Junior Class, unlike the other classes, followed suit with the nation and once again changed ofiicers as President Bruce Allison, Vice-President John Donatucci, Secretary Donald DeVoge, and Treasurer Maxwell Schoenfeld were elected to their respective oflices. The Corps of '54 undertook their greatest project thus far when they accepted the respon- sibility of publishing the Rambler. Any doubt that they could keep the Rambler going financially was squelched midway through October, 1952, when they conducted the most successful Press Dance in Prep's history. In December, the Jun- iors' twelve-page Christmas issue of the Rambler met with wide approval and was hailed as the finest Rambler ever produced. In Prep's whirling world of the dance, the Jun- iors sponsored a series of enjoyable after-game dances, a jolly Junior-Senior Christmas party, and a socially climatic Junior Prom. The Juniors' greatest work, however, was spir- itual. Throughout the year, as Minute Men and Knights of the Blessed Sacrament, the Juniors tried to fulfill faithfully their pledge to their Eucharistic King. To Father Fitzgerald falls the task of guiding the Juniors, and he does it with finesse. Here he poses with class officers John Donatucci, Maxwell Schoenfeld, Donald De- Voge, and Bruce Allison. l Kg- '- 5-f -f- Tw -,,..f1- The Jumors to a man, went all out for thelr project the Rambler Here Andy Pawlaczyk and Bob Cullen waylay salesman Dave Czulewxcz to obtam a sneak prevxew of the latest ed1t1on Q9 X Q- fun' Q If' , I X41 Flve futule chemlsts of the wolld Tom Flatley Charles Schaaf Robert Fltzmaurlce Flank Vetere and Dave Wlllow pexform an expexlment that may well rock the classroom Father McKay looks a but apprehenslve and he s right' Front Row left to rzght W Grzegorzewskl N Heb erlem F Golmo J Granger J Donatuccl R Davxs J Ferrxck J Stanczak J Casella N Heldt Second Row E Hokaj N Bxancoslno L Wllczynskl W Fllxpkowskl D Franklewlcz R Franz J Chartley L ChoJnack1 J Heldt L Schaff Thzrd Row M Palmlsano D DeVoge G Crynock C Angelottl W Bxebel J 0Br1en J Kalser J Dudenhoeffer, J Wnukowskx J Lloyd Front Row left to rzght R Cullen P Rmderle M Zand R Barczyk N Kama G Tlmon S McN1er ney A Pawlaczyk J Wurst B Drongosky Second Row R Calabrese J Stroh R Shade T Rmke, S Popowskl J Hassett D Ehrman R Hlckey N Wenerowlcz F Schossler Thwd Row R Vlckey R Protzman A C1otol1 P Scully W Llebel, D Czulewxcz D Murphy W Bllle W Morehouse, R Bayhurst Front Row left to nght M M8JChTOWSlil R Szk llnskl J Rlegel R Ropleckl D Tomczak J Rlddle J Henke D Rmderle G Raudman J Schumacher Second Row P Valllmont A Schodt E Przyby szewskl R Helsley D Sllverthorn J Costa V Stark L SllV1flSkl S Skrzypczak J Servadl Thud Rou N Stark D Trojanowskl J Decker G McLanahan W Staszewskl T Pruchnlewskx G Kuzma D Dymskl T Rogan A Schuschu A g .

A barrage of provocative and catchy adver- Q J? XP ,sy T ' Another custom rooted in Prep's past is the Sophomore dancing class. Father Somers, class adviser, reports that this year's class has been one of the most successful. Held in the wide open spaces of our own fine gym, it affords beginners plenty of opportunity to learn these social graces. A'bove, Harold Snyder and many of his classmates are taking advantage of the fact. mm 1 AHIVEJJ UAW 15' Among the Sophomore activities this year, most prominent was the Dancing Class which was faithfully attended by the vast majority of second- year students. As a social and terpsichorean suc- cess, it was held every 'Tuesday night. The public debut of the Soph-Steppers came on a February evening when the Class of '55 pre- sented its first dance, Rainbow Rhythm. This dance was rated one of the most successful ever held by a Sophomore class. Contributions to the school's intellectual life came in the form of a long list of honor students. In oratory, Robert Martin carried off honors in the 1952 Oratorical Contest. Athletically, Vincent Timon blazed a phenomenal trail in Cross Coun- try. Excellent Junior Varsity squads proved the potentialities of our Sophomores. The class was competently led by Norman Stark, presidentg Edward Teed, vice-presidentg James Waidley, secretary, and James Schaaf, treasurer. Guiding us through this diflicult year was Father Somers, aided by Father Dempsey and Father McKone. Class officers James Schaaf, Edward Teed, Norman Stark, and James Waidley seem confident as they join forces with Father Somers, class adviser. Father Somers, in turn, skillfully guides this active and ambitious group. XX X 5... '74 -ff Q7 FW xy,'Xi 'Y 1 X ui. fx f 1 yI -. Qi ww N K Front Row, left to right: R. Lynch, D. Kaverman, J.

The present Freshman class prepared well for the months ahead with a Day of Recollection. It was something entirely new and set the tone for the whole year. The beanie boys quickly got into the swing of things. Scholastically, there was little to be de- sired, as a quick check of honor winners plainly shows. John M. Fitzgerald even garnered the scholastic sweater at the semester. Athletically, the class boasts outstanding representatives on the Junior Varsity football and basketball teams. Class officers were selected in February. The initial slate includes Robert Timmons, president, Dennis King, vice-presidentg David Eiswerth, secretary, and Dennis Allen, treasurer. Behind the scenes, guiding them carefully, was Father Homer DeWalt, Class Adviser.

Santangelo, This is the tale of a trophy. Or to be more exact, it is the story of our Trophy of Trophies, symbolic of supremacy in the ten-sports program which makes up the secondary schools' athletic schedule. Now in its seventh year, it will go to the school which wins it the most times in twenty years. The method of reckoning the champion for a given year is simple enough. Five points go to the winner in each sport, while three points, two points, and one point are awarded to the second, third, and fourth places respectively. Last year, for the first time, the name of Cathedral Prep was en- graved on the trophy. Champions in football, cross country, wrest- ling, and baseball, the Ramblers also tied for top honors in basket- ball and golf. Second place in swimming and tennis, plus a third spot in water polo and track, snowballed our total point score to 38!f,. It was truly a milestone in Prep's athletic history. Gone are the days of futile insufficiency and desperate endeavor, and we salute the coaches and teams for their accomplishments. But Rambler athletes are determined that the trophy should remain with us. On the following pages are traced the fortunes of our squads as they answered the call to action. Father James Gannon, Director of Athletics, finds years of patient en- deavor crowned with success. ...wma To the Icft, Captain Jim Lynch displays the form that won him All-City recognition. Although hampered consider- ably by a leg injury, he proved himself an outstanding performer.

Here is the heart of any great football team-a strong defense. Improving with the season, our Maginot line vented its full fury on Vincent and Acad- emy, and each gained just fifty-five yards from rushing.

A crowd of nine thousand rabid fans found the air crisp and the sky clear for the game of the year between Prep and Academy. Our Ramblers entered the fray with a two- three record, representing wins over East and Tech and losses to Beaver Falls, Sharon, and Cleveland Benedictine. Their mediocre record be- lied their abilities, however, and it was obvious from the start that the Ramblers were out to make history. When one drive was stopped, another march of fifty-five yards ended with Joe Pontoriero bowling over from the six. When Academy penetrated to our fourteen, the threat was quickly nullified. Late in the third quarter, a seventy-seven yard march, featured by Lynch's long run, culminated in Stan Kupniewski's twelve-yard dash for the goal line. Thirty seconds later, Ron Potocki plucked a loose lateral and sped thirty-tive yards for another score. Insurance-minded, Tim Holland added an- other in the last quarter. That settled the season quite satisfactorily. The Orange and Black went on to edge Vincent, and then routed Rochester Aquinas, a squad which later bested Boystown. Jim Lynch, Keka An- thony, Ron Potocki, Joe Pontoriero, John Ditrich, and John Donatucci became All-Scholastic selec- tions. Joe Pontoriero, our punting specialist and human block-buster, rated as the most improved player on the squad. And according to the Robert Saylor System, we were the best team in District 10. All in all, it was a grand climax to an uncertain season-and it was our fourth straight champion- ship! B7 Q! 4 l .

A pair of Diamond Jims - fabulous Jim Fahey and dynamite Jim Dailey - led Dick Det- zel's dribblers to previously unscaled heights. And while this explosive duo was blazing the trail, their capable teammates came through in grand style. As with football, much of the drama of the regular season was packed into a single evening. Beaten once by Tech, the team stormed back to rout their catty-corner competitors, 82-50. With Dailey and Fahey fairly scorching the nets for 'twenty points, the Ramblers built up a 23-16 first quarter lead and the flood of scores continued even when the subs went in.

Hampered by a lack of re- turning lettermen, the team still managed a three-five record good for a third place tie. With ,little experience, the poloists were rapidly molded into a formidable, smooth- working crew by Skipper Joe'Robie. The scores scarcely indicated the brand of ball Prep played, and Academy's champions had to wage a titanic battle to win. Rich Helsley was once again All-City goalie, and Freddie Strasser, the city's sec- ond highest scorer, was an All-City forward.

They seemed well on the way of repeating the performance until sickness took little Vince Timon out of circulation and settled us in second place. But how Vince could circulate!

PRAYER While the Ramblers will lose heavily through graduation, prospects are still bright on the football front. Our powerful Jayvee grid squad won the City Series for the fourth time in five years. After a poor start, the little Ramblers ral- lied to play shut-out ball and carry off five straight victories. Impressive second-round wins over Academy and East highlighted the season.

Blessed with considerable altitude, the Ramblers, after a shaky start, picked up momentum and finished without a loss in league play. The last game against Tech was also their best. Freshmen gave glittering performances. Clutch Tomczak, Vince Kwiatowski, Ray Nicolia, and Paul DeRaimo deserve special men- tion. The nod for greatest improvement also goes to the latter two. Among the Sophomores, Dick Dill displayed the greatest con- sistency. All things considered, the record is a harbinger of good things for Pilot Walt Strosser's fine crew. 1 nj ge ,. ,..

Greatest improvement for the season was rec- orded by Mazanowski and Timmons, while Piotrowski proved himself the fightingest player. Hokaj was thoroughly consistent, and Feasler, Alessi, and Keim showed to good advantage.

Sparked by returning lettermen Johnny Donatucci and Fritz Condon, the tennis team early established itself as an opponent to be reckoned with for the eighth consecutive sea- son. Experienced George Hobeck and Jim Reisenberg, plus ever-improving Ken Flem- ing and Carl Keim, supported the lettermen with imposing performances. Leading the golfers around the fairways were Jim Lynch, Jim Roberts, and Ben Dron- gosky. The tee-men, following in the foot- steps of a championship team, had their work cut out for them. Father Richard Fitzgerald skilfully guides the racqueteers, while Father Francis Gal- lagher watches over the divot-diggers. GULF ft? 4.

In fact, base- ball trophies have become almost a habit here at Prep - and that's one habit Coach Dick Detzel will try not to break. The prospect is appealing. The league's leading chucker, Al Montevecchio, returns, as do battery mates Yogi Di Rienzo and Joe Cuzzola, A keystone combination of Johnny Donatucci and Jimmy Dailey leaves little to be desired. George Kaufman anchors the first base bag, and speedy Frank Graziano and Al Wedzik cavort in the outfield. So-o-o, let's get out to the ball game! Prep has always been fortunate to possess an impos- ing mound corps. Now Al Montevecchio follows serenely in the footsteps of Jim Dentel, Don Fessler. Paul Murosky, and many others.

Q55 Y I -lf 110, IHIWLI G Although this looks like ballet, it is just the High School Bowling League in action. Here Tom Burke and Doug Hewitt let 'em fly. Bowling is another outlet for youth's competitive spirit. Anyone can participate, and every Wednesday afternoon action is the word at Berry's Central Recreation alleys. A High School Bowling League operates under the direc- tion of the American Junior Bowling Congress. Prep is rep- resented by three teams. Tech also has three teams, while Academy and Vincent have one each. Prep Junior, Doug Hewitt, is the Secretary of the league. The Prep No. 1 team, which includes Rich Januleski, Dick Bille, Doug Hewitt, John Rafalowski, and Dave Glance, leads the Prep teams. These Wednesday sessions provide good clean recreation, and happy are the fellows who share in the bowling program. That contented smile indicates a strike in the making for Walt Hilinski. Ben Drongosky looks determined to have one too. Mike Callari and Wienkowski of Tech look on as Tom Burke marks up another of Hilinski's high scores. Rich Januleski lets go as Mike Callari, Rich Bille, Joe Barcayk: Dave Glance, and Walt Hilinski anxiously await the result. St-r-r-ike. Sammy Schmitt and Tim McCormick square off before an enthusiastic audience as a part of the St. Patrick's Day fight program. Appropri- ately, Tim of old Erin won, but Sammy put up a spirited defence. It's a great night for Irishmen, and they do it without shillelaghs. Annually on St. Patrick's Day, Father Geddes puts on a boxing show that attracts more and more attention with each passing year. Last year, a record-breaking crowd of eleven hundred fans witnessed the fisticuffs. As usual, it was a banner night. Tim McCormick defeated Sammy Schmitt in a grueling match. Jimmy Shaw just edged Ed Sinnott in another three rounder. More spectacu- larly, however, Jim Farina, Pat O'Leary, and Jimmy Sulli- van left no doubt about it when they hammered out TKO's in their respective matches. With such a record of pleasing performances, it was only natural that this year's show should likewise be an out- standing attraction. Jimmy Shaw and Ed Sinnott are not, in spite of appearances, playing London Bridge with the referee. This fight was another of those naturals that explain why a packed house can always be expected. Irish Jimmy Sullivan and Leo Kozar give us a sample of the slam- bang style that arouses the enthusiasm of the crowd. Jimmy, proving himself one of our finest boxers, easily safeguards the honor of the Irish. Father Geddes, originator and sponsor of our own 'Tight Night, be- gins his own drive for ticket sales with Bill Lichtinger and Stan Dlugo- lecki. As you can see, his persuasive powers are unlimited. 9 qfiix-5 Tv T'?r11?f'-3.'.lf'i'j' v D Ji, R x ly 7 'M -jx? t,-. gifts rl , I Qs!! K xx ' Z 1 X if f .- Y At the Sports Banquet, Monsignor McDonald, His Excellency Bishop Gannon, Father James Gannon, Father Fitzgerald, Walt Strosser, Joe Robie, and Dick Detzel appear behind an impressive array of trophies. Thus the parade of trophies ends for one year, but always another looms ahead. Jerry Herzog, George Kaufman, and Fritz Condon seem to be enjoy- ing themselves. And why not? It's a banquet fit for the kings of many a sport. The long and arduous sports seasons are climaxed by two fine dinners - one in early winter, the other in the spring- time. Here athletes with an appetite for victory and for fine food enjoy a sociable evening. It is a fitting climax. The spirit of competition, of rugged individualism and initiative, runs through the warp and Woof of our democratc fabric. Here in sports this spirit is tried and tested and developed. The spirit of cooperation is needed for political and eco- nomic progress. On our teams, boys learn the valuable lesson of mutual helpfulness, of leadership and service. Thus our athletic program is a training ground for the civil life of tomorrow, it is the recreation and the achievement of our small city of today.

Second Row: Lois Dudenhoef- fer, Jane Carney, Carol Eigabroadt, Sandra Marthinsen, Prep dramatists had their day during the past school year. Not one, but three, plays provided ample opportunity to put their acting abilities to the test. Besides producing our own Shaclozi' mad Sab- stance, the Seniors aided the Villa Maria Acade- micians in the presentation of their yearly plot. Then, launching out for new stages to conquer, Seniors trekked to Mercyhurst to provide the male complications of another play. Eight Hummers and four Prepsters rounded out the cast of Pierrot's Room For 0rze More. The play left the audience alternately laughing and cryingg it was a smashing success. The Villa stage was a scene of college life. Four more Prepsters aided and abetted the feminine cast in the presentation of Take Care of My Little Girl, a rollicking comedy depicting college frater- nities. Again, it was warmly received by an enthu- siastic audience. Last but certainly not least, Father Martin guided his Rambler cast through three fine per- formances of Shadow and Substance, an Irish drama centered about a proud priest and a humble servant. Jim Fahey appeared as the Canon to pace the play. Yes, drama had its day! Row: Denise Orchek, Lavaughn McLaughlin, Joe Schmitt, Mike Lynch, Jack Geiger, Ray Metz, Marilyn Burdick, Joan Krahe. Rodger Derr, Cathy Delanty, Stan Dlugolecki, and Nancy Theuerkauf present a scene from Room For One More. Jim Roberts was also a prominent member of the cast. Prep loses a big one to Tech, 55-65.

Miss Hickey is kindness We must not turn the last page of our book of memories without a word of appreciation for those who look after our health and welfare here at Prep. A Prepster's health is checked carefully. Twice during his course Cas a Freshman, and again as a Juniorj, he is given a thorough medical and dental examination. Also, hearing tests are pro- vided on the same basis. In addition, Miss Kath- leen Hickey, school nurse, is on duty twice a week to look into problems that arise in the routine of school life. Needless to add, our welfare is also protected, in a positive way, by the cafeteria staff. Serving large helpings of sunshine and smiles along with fine portions of good food, they invite the relaxa- tion of tension that marks the noon hour. Indis- pensable, too, are Joe and Paul for their numerous helping hands. To all, we extend our heartfelt thanks and ap- preciation for everything. and care personified in caring for our ailments. To insure the fitness of our students, each Prepster is re- quired at certain intervals to receive a physical examina- tion. Here the school physician, Dr. B. S. Beresky, attests to the normality of Dave Rinderle's blood pressure. It's time out for lunch as the students enjoy their favorite period of the day! Apparently they enjoy posing for pho- tographers as well. Properly refreshed and strengthened, they can attack their lessons with renewed vigor, and sometimes do! .i Unrestrained mirth is expressed by our Prep Mothers and Dads at the antics of the Senior Theatrical and Entertain- ment Societyf' And well they might, for the program was of a calibre to make them forget T.V. nish the library and to equip the band.
