Class History I have stood in front of Cranwell I-Iall now for many years, in stony silence they all think, hut I have watched them all pass hy singly and in groups. I have listened to their chatter, their quarrels, their accounts of victories and defeats. I know them all well and they know me and the Christ Child in my arms. It is only natural, 1 suppose, that they should come to me, St. Joseph, and seek my aid in reconstructing the history of their class. As insignificant as the dancing Autumn leaves, seemingly as numerous, the raw boys came, who have composed the seed that has since sprouted and flowered into the graduating class of '49. Eagerly they came, puffed with the fact that at last they had reached that wonderful state of high school student. I recognized TIIPIIIVY-Ill'lI 69 0455. Q5'.,fQff?..i in 5 Nil . S lsr Q . H S gym 1 5 .o i IQQQ ' the old timers' Billy May, Paul Printon, john Burns and John Driscoll. They hadn't changed. All things considered I found them a scraggly bunch to mould, but then all Freshman classes are a scraggly bunch. All shapes and sizes paced timidly about from little Artie Carr and Chris Nelson to big Ned Curly. Poor Fathers Burke and Cunniff, what pains I saw for them. Awed by the splendor of Fr. Maxwell's office they wondered what the coming year held. They found their responsibility a little troublesome at times and often fell into the role of prank-filled youngsters. The body of the class met for the first time and swiftly they were buddies , a real Freshman class. They plunged into the mysteries of Latin for the first time and made the acquaintance of a high school course. To the surprise of all they found it possible to master the secrets. Sports beckoned as usual. Football made its claim. Jack Higgins led the J. V. along with Rod O'Neil. Paul Printon held the line and Billy May and John Burns rounded out a promising backf-ield. Some of them entered a varsity game. The J. V. had an undefeated season and Fall ended with the Freshmen well rep- resented in the football world. Winter came only too soon, and with it came hockey and basketball. Frenchy Fleurant, the flying Freshman from Woonsocket, won a place on the second line in Hockey He teamed with Billy May in a scor- ing line which has lasted until Senior year. Basketball won more adherents as Jim Mahony took the floor accompanied by roomies jim Gill and Fen FitzPatrick. The knowledge that room 45 was a perpetual basketball court might explain their ability. Between Latin, sports, and blizzards, the third floor of St. Joseph's battled the second floor in the most exciting pillow fight in Cranwell history. With football helmets and pillows the second floor stormed the heights. Only at the approach of the Prefect did the affair cease, leaving many headaches. The origin of a certain immortal pie will forever remain a mystery, though I could tell. Mr. Sullivan will ever wonder. Spring washed into Cranwell and by May it had stopped raining. When the sun did come out the boys had the usual cases of Spring Fever. When the lake subsided and the diamond was revealed many were called to the new field across the road. Paul Printon secured a varsity post. Billy May grew faster but control was his trouble. jack Higgins proved his mettle and Artie Carr proved a fancy Helder, the mainstay of the j. V. The links were not deserted, Jerry O'Connor and Phil Haggerty could usually be found diligently working on their scores. Always at twilight one could enjoy those unforgettable softball games. The tennis courts were always active and in between times they studied. They took the acid bath of final exams, the most diHicult week of the Fresh- man year. I watched them eagerly depart for the summer vacation. Some of them returned during the summer for a repeat performance, but everybody can't be a genius. The warmth of summer still lingered in my carved figure as I watched car after car emit the noisy horde that meant another school year had begun. This class was Sophomore now, but the honor weighed lightly, like a thread on their coats. New faces I soon became accustomed to flowered in abundance. I recall the fiery mop of John Tweddle, the twang of Indiana clinging to Al Larson and .5 zbsixzwi fi ,wg Page Twenty three Jim Kay, joe Kirby, and Mike Downey confirmed New Englanders all. Larry Rowe, adding a touch of Big Cityv savoir faire, came to grow with the original group. I found them still boys as carefree as ever. Only a light shadow of change lurked in an occasional word or deed. My, the years 1946 and 1947, I shall never forget them. We had an unusual amount of snow that winter and I,m afraid the boys employed it to the detriment of anything presenting target surface, including a few windows. I watched for weeks their smug smiles after the snow war they thought escaped the notice of the faculty. The Sophomore class went on quite a bridge spree, too. They even held a tournament. I shall never forget the day that Fathers Burke and Cunniff had a perfect score in apprehending the culprits in an unofhcial excursion to Pittsfield. I don't think they enjoyed those extra two school days they thought theyld never have to suffer. I was glad they had Mr. Coughlin as Prefect. His firm yet gentle sway proved a great prop in their difficulties and a help in their successes. They were not wild boys, but one and all seemed to contain the very essence of energy. This energy flowed through everything they did from the hard honest play on the sport Helds to the labor Fr. King demanded in class. The same boys, as in the previous year, represented their class on the sport- ing field, heroically so, as in the case of john Higgins, who sacrihced a tooth to the greater glory of football. I noticed that quiet joe Kirby and Larry Rowe of the facile face took to the basketball court as a type of fowl takes to water, and earned a permanent roost on the squad. The hockey team was undefeated, the same two earning praise for themselves and their class as in the previous year. The baseball team with its same followers had a splendid year. In intra- murals the Sophomores won the school championship. ST. IOSEPH'S HALL XQWKRE Page Twenty-four v9,,,f ,A,- Q Q 'iw f e I if-E E . Ja Q'5bgL, E!f.2ig-?i 'hI9:xQ'Q In the usual pain they ran the gamut of exams. I often wonder if Mr. Churchill's Blood, sweat, and tearsn, wasn't coined for Cranwell boys with ink as substitute for blood. It was a good year for all and though the way was rocky at times, each boy developed greatly in mind, soul, and body. The September goal attained, every- one melted away before the summer heat and another school year had passed. As I felt September's cool breath on my sculptured face, the hills resounded again with the shouts of returning boys. This class returned with the proud step of new Juniors. I had to smile as their fresh poise floated off on the current of their hilarity. Many new forms seethed through the noisy pudding that formed the group of boys getting together . Larry Ambrosino with the omnipresent smile, Bob Shafter with that Long Island drawl , John Gaynor from Webstah , Bill Henry Aldrich, Shaun Trapper,' Viguerie, and Bill Hassan, always with a quip, along with Jack Toner with deceptive quiet, john O'Neill, their future bas- ketball hero, jim Connor with touseled hair and gay manner, Marian Billewicz, Europe,s contribution, Ed Fitzsimons, Peter tour guidel' Hamilton, and Paul Smith, always impeccably dressed, invaded the group of Old Timers . Johnny O'Laughlin, the lanky lad from Pittsfield, and Leon McClellan with Latin charm, proved other valuable additions. This group was the last, no more could swell the graduating ranks of '49. The annual retreat was held, and noble resolutions flowered, particularly among the juniors to whom college now was not a distant mirage but more of an impending reality. They went into the upperclass cottages and were divided for the first time. Bobola held some under the rule of Fr. Drohan, St. john's held more, and a mad lot turned the gym into bedlam until the wing of St. john's was completed. Pads and nonchalance characterized the junior year. Fm afraid I wondered a bit about boys who could enjoy a record that did nothing but laugh madly from beginning to end. I canlt recall the number of times I was startled to hear so many potential Peter Lorres practising their soothing art . Who could have thought that one trumpet would cause all the interest that jim Connor's managed. Poor Fr. Morris - I pitied you in your hard but well done job of tempering the pranks of all in that new wing. Wide was the range of interest in sports and other activities. Football was enriched by the splendid play of such as john O'Laughlin, Shaun Viguerie, Bill Hassan, john O'Neill and Marian Billewicz. Basketball, too, felt the impetus of such stars as John O'Neill and Bill Aldrich. In intramural basketball the junior class outscored the Seniors in a tight game 27-26. Hockey gained an out- standing performer when john O'Laughlin joined the team. Baseball claimed the same worshippers as in the previous year, but the spirit of change lurked about. Tennis suddenly appeared recognized as a team. john Tweddle and Al Lar- son were outstanding juniors who entered the interscholastic games. Fr. Drohan proved himself the proverbial jewel of many facets , our teacher, prefect, and golf pro. He formed a golf team gathering Juniors as a window gathers dust. Bob Shafter, Phil Haggerty, john Gaynor, Bill Hughes, Jerry O'Connor and Artie Carr carried well the junior banner on the links. The ruling passion, the mil Aiwa, Page Twenty ve germ puffed to monster size, the siren who drove boys mad, I have almost for- gotten to mention, skiing. Into the valley of Cranwell swooped the mad hundred, some to end in a graceful pose, others just to end, but all try again. The Juniors boasted the European champion Billewicz, and the raw pluck of Jim Connor, the polish of Bill May and the doggedness of john Tweddle. Their wildest was Peter Hamilton, who earned the title of one arm Cuntil the cast came offj. The year waxed calmer than any previous. Slowly time was sapping the weakness and childishness from the group. Intellectual activity was not looked upon as poison any more, while some even found it nectar. They had their debat- ers and a hardy few whose haggard mein and flinty eye betrayed them as actors. Their productions ranged from imitations of A1 Jolson by Bill Hassan through locker room quartet to the gallant drama of Arsenic and Old Lace , as nobly created by Shafter, jim Kay, Chris Nelson and Larry Rowe. As inevitable as the axe-fall on the guillotine, exams came and ended. The summer danced her beauty before us in the joy of another year ended. The boys departed to effect the metamorphasis that summer brings to Seniors. They returned. Senior', didn't glow in large letters on their foreheads, but their state was obvious. They hadn't suddenly become model boys, serious book- worms, or full-fledged men, but they had learned that they had a new responsibil- ity. Their Senior year I can honestly claim was their best. Teachers noted with joy and surprise their goodness, ability, and talent hitherto unknown. john l BERCHMANS' HALL 1'-HWIRHQ . X 'IQQQ' lagf llcenty-six 46 44? g' Q Sv , Q, Q N E3 +0 ez , s O 2 V E . Q fl 'ahve BOBOLA AND ALOYSIUS HALLS O'Neill still played his splendid best in basketball and Bill May still succeeded in everything he tried. jim Mahony let us hear his fine Irish tenor and all the class proved they could be good leaders, fit to set an example for the younger boys. They worked and they wondered at the results. Fr. Moriarty exacted fifty- Hve lines of Latin a night and managed three extra plays of Shakespeare. Though the memory and the translations came tinged with sweat and smoothed with the midnight oil, the class succeeded and enjoyed them. They played, too, gloriously. I still noticed some snowballs but fewer and better aimed. The class presented their own football heroes now, for they were the Senior and dominating force in the sports world. Jack Toner and Mike Downey added their efforts to the veteran squad which the class had slowly developed over the years. The spirit and fun of the rallies with the torch proces- sions will never be forgotten. Basketball with the famed jimmy Del Grande added to the veterans John O'Neill, joe Kirby, jack Higgins, Tom O'Brien, Paul Printon, Larry Rowe and others made history with its glowing record. It was a team never to be forgotten. Invited to the Prep School Tournament in Boston, they fought through to the Hnals, and sadly lost this deciding game. The hockey team, when they could find ice, enjoyed a game or two. Baseball had its usual triumphant season. Oh, yes, how could I have forgotten, the Seniors of '49 founded a new sport at Cranwell under the generous guidance of Fr. Tobin. Soccer has come and I think is here to stay. Chris Nelson, Leon McClellan, Rod O'Neil, Fen FitzPat- t l kevi n Page Twenty seven rick, Bill Hughes, Joe Kirby, Francis Fleurant, Larry Rowe, John Tweddle, Al Larson, jim Kay, Bob Shafter, Marian Billewicz, may be called The Founding Fathers . Though many times they were twitted about their score of victories , I would offer them this consolation: The first year is always the hardest, and they did their best. Their debaters and actors had acquired a little polish with their years of ex- perience. I heard their Minstrel Show was one of the best in a long time. Jim Mahony proved an outstanding M. C., while Larry Rowe and Jim Gill made im- mortal the Apache Dance. Many a shady room echoed with the sounding rhetoric of practicing debaters who showed what practice can accomplish in The Prize Debate of Parents, Week-End. Their final speaking display culminated in Brother Orchid . This proved a fitting climax for all the year's work in such lields. We shall never forget Chris Nelson, Larry Rowe, Bill Aldrich, Bill Hughes, or Bob Shafter for their excellent characterizations. On this note of triumph my record ends. Though histories and graduations are familiar to me they never cease to inspire when I realize this constitutes the first step for the well termed Hope of the worldu. I thank God for such men as Fr. Maxwell, Fr. Burke, Fr. Cunnifif, and all the faculty who with expert hands have guided the class through the years, and I thank Him, too, for such boys as these.

Well knowing that your interest still persists despite the passage of twenty-five years and having by now had the opportunity in the course of my business to visit many of my classmates, I am happy to submit this detailed report of their success. As you will no doubt notice, the trees have grown very much as the twigs were bent. Since I am a resident of New York City, I encounter on occasion many of the old crowd, some of them life-long residents and others drawn to the big city by business. By special invitation I recently attended a broadcast in the R.C.A. building, the Paul Smith program My Thrilling Adventures . Smiling smugly in the rear of the studio was that busy Coca-Cola executive, Mr. Michael Downey. It is said that he is contemplating introducing a bottle with a handle to encourage bottle drinking by the more fastidious. An occasional visit to Wall Street brings me in contact with two other old boys, Bill May and Rod O'Neil. They are really big dealers in the Exchange. They haven't changed much except for a bit of added weight. I recently attended a famous trial at the court house. You will enjoy this, St. Joseph. Three of the boys were there. No, no, not as criminals. Shafter, good old Bob Shafter, Shifty Shafter they call him now, was the D. A. How he has changed! And appearing as a witness for the defense was the now noted criminologist, Chris Nelson. He really gave Bob a time of it. Covering the trial for the New York Times was their very clever, special reporter, Phil Haggerty. He says that he will have a new book on the market very soon. Had a few minutes with the D. A. at recess and he looked tired. He is planning to visit his old friend, jack Gaynor. Jack sold out his big store in Webster and is planning to travel. will do the Continent this summer. I am really not a baseball fan but I did make the effort last summer to attend a game at Ebbets Field. I especially wanted to watch Henry,' Aldrich in action. He is a big league umpire. Has a prosperous business of his own, which he attends to in the winter. Jim Gill wasn't around but they tell me that he is a heavy stockholder in the Dodgers. Has put on a lot of weight. Henry told me after the game that jim Mahony and Larry Rowe were in the grandstand. They are partners in a printing and advertising corporation. I see them quite often but would have enjoyed sitting with them at the game. They are still a riot of fun. They see John Driscoll but very rarely. His wife keeps him close to home. We howled at that one. He is a big builder. Is trying to talk Gill into a new ball park. You will be surprised, St. Joseph, at the number of the class, who have traveled West. Joe Kirby is a very successful dentist in Los Angeles. A far cry 5 I gtg, A Page Seventy one from Woonsocket. He tells in his dry way that he made a new upper plate for Bill Hassan that has increased his range three notes. You knew, of course, that Hassan was in Hollywood. You have no doubt heard the students speak of him. Hels the new jolson of pictures, radio and television. Hollywood also recalls another of the crowd, Larry Ambrosino, better known in pictures as Rudolph Ambrosino. He made a fortune and then got out. He was having difhculty with his weight and you know what that means to the feminine fans. He spends IDOSI of his time in New York now. Can be seen often at the Crane Club, which is owned and run by Jim How-de-doo Con- nor. Got the name of the club from the crane on his class ring. jim said that Paul Printon drops in occasionally. Got him to do a song one night. He's really a Bostonian but his oil business brings him frequently to New York. He's portly Paul now. The conversation also brought up Twed's name. You remember john Tweddle with the red hair. He's a famous name today, President of Tweddle Records. The humorous part is he could never sing a note. His old roommate, Al Larson, has moved to Chicago. His home is a regular stopover for the boys. He heads a big accounting firm and is making everybody's money. About two years ago I was in New Orleans for the Mardi-Gras. Shaun Viguerie invited the whole crowd but only a few of us were able to make the trip. Shaun is some man now. Is sort of a sugar king. His home is a regular plan- tation. He still has the same enthusiasm for hunting and fishing. Leon McClellan flew up from Mexico City. He is doing exactly what he wanted - a veterinarian. Bill Hughes closed up his oflice and came along also. He is Doc Hughes now and very successful. Taught for a few years at Georgetown Medical. Has a mustache and looks very professional. Bill had the latest on Fen FitzPatrick. Fen is in the leather business, of course, and is doing very well. He meets Arty , , l SACRED HEART ALTAR PKR' I age Seventy-LIUO ,6 43 1., ,.,. if S ,A a E Q .' . af B ' We 545,-. I ego A 6? GIQ Q' Carr at conventions and reports that Art can be found at the Peabody Tannery. I-Ie warned us not to call on him without first looking up the schedule of the Boston Braves. Art has grown a bit, also. This mention of Boston puts my pen on the trail of the boys from Bean- town. I go there a lot to visit my wife's family. It seems you can't drive ten miles on the highway without being reminded of -john Burns. He owns the biggest fleet of trailer trucks in New England. The recent rumor is that he and Frenchy Fleurant are dickering to buy the Boston Bruins. Frenchy is in textiles, as you know, but is a terrific hockey enthusiast. One paper also mentioned Ed Fitzsimons in the deal. He is a corporation lawyer with ofhces in New York and Boston. Spends a good deal of his time in Boston, so the boys say. I had dinner at the Boston Club last year with Ed and Ignatius O'Connor. Iggy started out to be a doctor but for some reason shifted over to insurance. Has his own oHice and is doing very well. Has all the Burns business. We tried to contact another of the old Bobola boys, Jim Kay, but with no success. He's quite sought after around Beacon Hill for his portraits. He became an artist and lived through some very lean years. Was almost reduced to lettering Burns' trucks, Hit the jackpot in a national competition and is now doing debs in oil. Jack Higgins still resides in Iawrcnce. He has gone very domestic and is busy in construction. They tell me he did a big subway job. The sports page recently showed a picture of Captain Jack Toner. He won the cup in the famous' yacht race to the Bahamas. Appears that he must be resting on his money. As his special guest, not ballast, he had Jack O'Neill. Jack is now head of the C. Y. O. in New jersey. He has done wonderful work with youngsters and looks as though he could still appear in competition. How we envy him! The same article mentioned that Cap', Toner was being entertained in New York by Steve Carney. Steve shifted from journalism to real estate and lives leisurely in a penthouse on Park Avenue. Nobody has heard much of Peter Hamilton since his return to England. Marian Billewicz stopped with him in London, on his way to visit Poland. He says that Pete has a government osition the exact significance of which is not clear. Marian is mixed up in expoiting and importing with Poland. There is really no need of my mentioning Tom O'Brien and john O'Laugh- lin. You must read about them in the Pittsfield Eagle. Tom is certainly the poli- tical power of the county. They say he is planning to run for senator. john has done very well in law and has tried some prominent cases. He is due for a judge- ship. O'Brien should be a help in this. Well, St. joseph, this is the up-to-date story on the class of forty-nine. They are all exemplary and successful men. Cranwell can be proud of them. We will see you in June when we will be the honored class at the Alumni meeting. Twenty-five years, you know. How are all the new boys at school? Take good care of them. This modern generation -everybody is complaining about them. Respectfully yours, The Secretary of the Class of '49 sy Page Seventv three Qxl 41 l HENRY J.

We regret the few defeetions in our ranks but have strengthened our reserves by the helpful addition of jack Growney, Mike Craig, Gil Vernet, Tom Keogh and Tom Meldon. ln our class elections we chose carefully and well.

We honored Jorge Cordova with the Vice-Presidential office, Ed Considine with the responsibility of Secre- tary and Bob Mullane with the coveted keys of the Treasury. On the various fields of contest we have struggled well. Witness the groups we have contributed to the strife of sport. On the gridiron Gillespie, Vogt, Hickey, Eagan, C. Murphy, Burns, Cordova, Bradley and Stevenson, all steady performers and winners of the Cranwell Cn, ln hockey we presented Burns, Bellucci, Hickey, Healy and Culhane. The soccer team enjoyed the services of Dwyer, Langmuir and the brilliant Vernet. Active in the hoop game were Con- sidine, Bradley, Meldon, Growney, Mullane, Burns, Mendez and Bobby Shea. Varsity baseball will welcome our ace athletes Gillespie and Hickey. The accomplishments of the class, however, do not shine only in the field of sport. As Thespians we offer Considine, Mullane and Bob Shea. In debating we boast of Lapean, Dwyer, Cordova, Burns and Andy Shea. What honor roll would appear complete without the familiar trio of Coakley, Cordova and Langmuir. Qur Senior brothers have matured before our eyes and have set us an envi- able example. XVe will strive in the year to come to equal, if not surpass, their splendid record. As a final gesture of gratitude and enthusiastic admiration, we Wish them every blessing for future success.

We have already wel- comed and worn our new teachers and have made fast friends of the newly added members of the class. Early in the first semester we concentrated on the choice of our representa- tives. The ever-popular Bob Sullivan was elected to the distinguished office of President. Bob De Blois, a stalwart leader, was chosen Vice-President. The talented Bede Sullivan holds the office of Secretary, while the empty Treasury is guarded by the alert Donnie Shea. The fall and the call of the gridiron brought out a large group of sopho- more talent. Especially prominent were De Blois, the Sullivan twins, Turain, .. gvmr Page Ezglzly-four g5 4'.i+ 5: .jiii l lf? c' Vg M, as J T xl?- i l 5 ' ,gf iodtI93Q' Patterson, and Lamborn. Steady performers were Craigo, Burke, Shanley, Love- ridge, Carroll, Smyth, Petzold, Doyle, and the plucky Don Shea, who was retired early by an injury. Winter brought out the enthusiastic skaters and basketeers, though the mild- ness of the winter was unpropitious to the former sport. Bede Sullivan, Rey- nolds, De Blois, Patterson, Bob Burns, and the Sullivan twins, were the stellar sophomore pucksters. Craigo and Vidal were rated among the high scorers in intramural basketball. Also pre-eminent were von Phul, Lamborn, Garvey, Shanley, Ross, and the Larrain brothers. With the advent of baseball the Sullivan twins will again be active making a bid for the varsity. The initial roster of the J. Vfs will read like a roll call of the class. Outstanding performers in the field of intellectual activity are Walter Coak- ley, Will Smyth, Bede Sullivan, and Bob De Blois. In close scholastic pursuit are Peter Carroll, james Schmitt, Royden Cowan, and the versatile Bob Sullivan. As the year draws to a close we feel that we have made great strides. We wish to acknowledge the inspiration given to us by the splendid example of the Senior Class. SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS Robert E. De Blois, Betle C. Sullivan, Robert J. Sullivan, Donald J.

In the course of time we, too, will be Seniors, and We trust that we will add another enviable record to the history of our Alma Mater. From our humble position as Freshmen we have watched the class of 1949, and We are sincere in our expres- sion of admiration of their many achievements and successes. Their fine accom- plishments have and ever will be an everlasting inspiration to us. The year began at a swift pace, and that great speed was sustained up to the very end. In very short time we had elected our class officers. Homer Couzens was our President. He is a fine boy who hails from Detroit, Michigan. Ready to take over in case of an emergency, Charles De Blois was chosen for Vice- zelllilx IX f 1- f' 3341?i7fr, .

Philip Kiernan was obliged occasionally to refrain from football in order to manage the secretarial duties. Arthur Hogan, our literal-minded Treas- urer, audited the hnancial reports of the class. We are very proud to have such resplendent students as George Flynn, Donald Lucca, Rogelio Sada and John Kalagher represent our class. In the field of sports too, we have contributed our share of stalwarts, who show great promise for the future. Homer Couzens, Vincent Kelley and Philip Kiernan were prominent members of the xl. V. team. They won much praise for their skill and courage in these strenuous battles on the gridiron. In hockey George Flynn and Vincent Kelley showed their unusual ability on the ice, while in bas- ketball Paul Beach, Raymond Rosseel, Donald Lucca, Denis Dwyer and Arthur Hogan gave us many reasons to be proud. Again we found George Flynn and Raymond Rosseel starring on the baseball diamond. As we bid farewell to the class of 1949, our Seniors, we pray that God may give you many happy years and much success in all your varied endeavors. We are extremely grateful for the association we had with you, for the pleasant year and the friendliness you have shown us. Now we say goodbye, good luck, and God watch over you.

Eighth Grade Falling leaves gently tuned to chiming school hells and heralded a new school year as the Cranwell class of l953 stepped into Cranwell undergraduate life. Boarding school, a new world, opened its vistas before us. First, we met our classmates, our companionsvto-be during many an adventure to come. Then a host of new acquaintances extended our horizons throughout the whole school. Feeling thoroughly at home, our retreat gave us a set of guideposts for the year, a set of lessons for life. Spiritually directed, we settled down for the rigorous yet pleasant year ahead of us. Studies, sports, clubs and religious devotions occu- pied our minds and hearts for the ensuing months of our first Cranwell year. One of the hrst things to strike home was the ratio of students to teachers in Cranwell!s last form. Four strong, we marched into the halls of learning to discover that we would have six instructors! This was the first of many scholastic surprises! This was personalized instruction with a vengeance! As the mysteries c 1 A . 1' f -T-TTf:Tf'T'Tv7.....-....-TTT K lll T , C' M :' R N551 ily, Nfl Lllflll-f '1,i :'i11,g, x l h yvff! ?E7fG!7 f f 1 of Grammar, Science, Mathematics, History and Civics unfolded before us we discovered vast new worlds to conquer and untold wealth yet to be mined in these and our other studies. We soon adjusted ourselves to the academic pace and found that while hard work was in order this hurdle soon became routine and we could retain an unbroken stride until mid-year examinations. All work and no play . . . is not the code at Cranwell and we adapted ourselves to the well-regulated sports program arranged for us. Golf and touch football as well as tennis and soccer kept us warm while the cooling autumn winds removed the last clinging leaves from their unseasonably firm grip on the branches. While not large enough for varsity and junior varsity sports, we par- ticipated in the intramural programs and brought luster to ourselves and our class by our play in all the seasonal activities. Autumn gave way to winter, and football to basketball, hockey and skiing, while tobogganing and coasting Hlled in the open dates on our schedule. Meanwhile, keeping pace with our scholastic and athletic endeavors, were daily Mass and our other devotions. Our wise guides knew full well that a well- developed mind and body need a strong soul to accompany them down the path of life. After our mid-year examinations we felt like full-fledged Cranwellians. The big hurdle had been met and conquered. We were now joined by two new com- rades who settled down with us as tried and true veterans and we prepared for the activities of the second semester. The St. Patrick's Day Minstrel gave us a chance to show our talent and the final playoffs of the intramural leagues pro- vided chances for us all to distinguish ourselves on the field of honor. With the advent of spring, we buckled down for the drive to the june wire. While our studies demanded full attention, our co-curricular activities did not suffer. One of the most interesting as well as beneficial of these was our debating matches in our Public Speaking classes. Although our numbers were small, our zeal in preparation and our intensity in delivery were not diminished. Baseball, volleyball, golf and tennis resumed their sway over our minds and hearts during sports periods. We watched the hand of Nature change her season again and the beautiful month of Our Lady showered our school-home. We proudly showed our families and friends our campus during the May Parents' Week-End and we introduced them to our newly-made friends and classmates. In many other respects, also, the Eighth Grade progressed in leaps and bounds. Our present fond ambition is to lead the school in the years to come as handily as we led this year in per capita contributions to the mite box collec- tions for many worthy causes. We have the ambition and the will, and with God's blessing on our endeavors we are sure to succeed.

Tobin, SJ., the Sodality has become the boy's Sodality with each member taking an active part. The main subject for study this year was the apparitions of Our Lady of Ifatima in Portugal. One or two of the Sodality rules was also explained. Many new projects have been undertaken including drives for mission funds and clothes for the mission. There was a pamphlet committee to sell good read- ing matter throughout the school. These projects and committees have aug- mented each sodalist's fervor and makes each individual realize the importance of these good works. Ifr. Tobin continued the Holy I-Iour on hrst Fridays inau- gurated by Iir. Brennan, Sul., last year. Each Sodality meeting is opened and conducted by Prefect John O'Neill, while Vice-Prefect james Brogioli assists when needed. Elected junior Prefect was Ed Considine, while Bob De Blois took the minutes of each meeting as Secretary. The Sodality is a functioning organization which mirrors the spirituality of the Cranwell boys today.

The Dramatic Society The Dramatic Club has reached great prominence at Cranwell and now ranks as one of the outstanding clubs of the year. The popularity is due without doubt to the fine rendition of Arsenic and Old Lace last Fall. This year boys from all classes swelled the ranks and much fresh talent was added. In previous years the members of the present senior class have been the pillars of the Dra- matic Club. Now the younger Thespians of the society show great promise. On Dec. 16 the Cranwell Dramatic Society presented its first play of the year, 'KThe Christmas Carol from Charles Dickens, famous story. Always a favorite at the Christmas season, the play was a great success. Lawrence Rowe was outstanding and gave an excellent portrayal of Old Scrooge. Bob Cratchit and Marley's Ghost were ably portrayed by William Aldrich and Chris Nelson. For Parents' Week-Eiitl this Spring the club has chosen to offer Leo Brady's 'Brother Orchid , starring Chris Nelson as Little john Sarto.

The Bellarmine Debating Society The Robert Bellarmine Debating Society started off an auspicious year with the election of oihcers. Rod O'NeiI was elected Presidentg -lorge Cordova, Vice- Presidentg Phil Haggerty, Secretaryg and Fenton FitzPatrick, Sergeant-at-Arms. Fr. james Drohan, SJ., our moderator, swiftly worlted us into action with an extemporaneous debate on the free substitution rule. Jorge Cordova, Phil Hag- gerty and Daniel Burns took the aH'irmative, while Edgar Fitzsimons, Thomas Meldon and Anthony Bellueei upheld the negative. The judges decided on a split decision. On November 19, 1949, we had our first formal debate. The subject was Resolved that the D.P.s be allowed to enter America . Mr. john Burns opened the debate for the aflirniative by bringing out the fact, that materially the D.P.s 6PKRH5o 1 4 N 1111 fy-e1'gl1l 6 43 MU l 0 5-v ik Ai- G 55 EP, 2 e 1 - 11 Sf' id ' . 1-3 1 -f 5 1,9 'tI939' 6 would be a great aid to America. Mr. Thomas Meldon of the negative, attacked them as mere idols of politicians. Mr. William Doll used the sentimental ap- proach for the affirmative. Mr. Andrew Shea in a clear, concise and well- memorized speech charged that the D.P.s would be a menace to our way of life. The judges voted unanimously in favor of the affirmative and the meeting was adjourned. For the next two meetings Paul Smith generously granted us the use of his wire recorder. With everyone making a two-minute talk and the playing back of the recordings, we were able to hear ourselves talk. Fr. Drohan pointed out many flaws in our speech and showed us how to correct our mistakes. It was agreed by all that this method of speaking was very valuable and aided many of us in the improvement of our speech. Due to intervening vacations it was impossible to hold a regular meeting until after Christmas. The mid-year examinations delayed our meeting some more. However, we held extemporaneous debates and round table discussions all through December, January, and part of February. Finally when we got settled Fr. Drohan told us it was time to get ready for the Prize Debate. A heated discussion arose on the method of choosing the debaters for the Prize Debate. Fr. Drohan presented his method of having all the debating club choose both the Senior debaters and Junior debaters. This was bitterly opposed by both Gerald Lapean and William Doll, who believed that the debaters should be chosen only by members of their class. At the next meet- ing John Burns presented a compromise of having the whole club elect two debaters, each class one debater, and the other two by Fr. Drohan. All three methods were voted on, and the method presented by Lapean and Doll was chosen. The result of the elections were that the Seniors picked Rod O'Neil, Philip Haggerty and William Dollg the Juniors selected Gerald Lapean, Jorge Cordova and Eugene Dwyer. The Prize Debate will be held May 13, and we trust that it will prove our forensic progress and reflect honor on the Bellarmine Debating Society.

The John Carroll Debating ociety The john Carroll Debating Society dubbed by many The Little Congress , has well merited its unofficial title, Each week pertinent national questions were settled by such veterans as Robert De Blois, Bruce von Phul, Robert P. Burns, Walter Coakley, and such freshmen as George lilynn, Kelly McLaughlin and Frank Vahlc. We have much to boast of. Wfith the excellent guidance of Mr. lfarrclly, S.j., we have made acquaintance with parliamentary procedure, round table dis- cussions and the varied forms of public speaking. Our own innovation has been the mock court trials which permitted us to study the actual procedure of our courts of justice. Many of the word battles we have waged through the year will make out- standing history in our society. The night our impeached Secretaryls fate hung PKR lllllll1I'l'll' Ri bs SL . nfwfff it all M lava 'Ja I S f 3 Q ' i-L ii 'T ew 649 451939. in the balance, and Walter Coakley, brilliant as defense counsel, saved him, will never be forgotten. Robert P. Burns cleverly prosecuted him, however, for fail- ing twice in succession to present his notes on the meetings. Presiding justice, Robert De Blois, handled the situation excellently. We held other trials, too. Burns earned a conviction for Robert De Blois, arrested for smuggling comics and bubble gum into his room. Not even the zealous work of William Smyth and Bruce von Phul, defense counsels, could save him. The trials were fascinating preliminaries to the most serious and actual debates on national affairs. We held many of these. Should the World Calen- dar Be Universally Adopted , constituted one of them. De Blois and Burns, the negative side claimed the day, though speeches on both sides were good. Bede Sullivan and Robert De Blois tied for the best speakerls award. Another debate was, Should Alaska and Hawaii be Admitted to the Union as States . Bruce von Phul and George Flynn, the affirmative, won the decision only after a heavy contest with john Craigo and Donald Shea. Should there be Censorship of Radio and Television , formed another highlight for our records. The negative side with Frank Vahle and Bede Sullivan triumphed over Walter Coakley and Kelly McLaughlin. In each case both sides proved by their speeches the effort they had made in the preparation of their debates. The purpose of our society is not merely to instruct polished and brilliant debaters. Though we naturally tend toward that end, our prime purpose is to form poised gentlemen who are capable of decent and interesting speech when the need arises. We feel that purpose has been fulfilled in the visible testimony of our members. The past year has been a successful and a complete one. We have not only learned to speak, but to enjoy speech. Our studies have brought us to the field of national affairs where we have learned many interesting facts essential for every citizen. With deep gratihcation we end our reminiscence. We would like to congratulate our officers for the splendid way they have worked during the year. Robert Sullivan, our President, Vice-President Charles De Blois, and Secretary Bede Sullivan, have proved themselves well worthy of our confidence. We hope to prove at our Prize Debate that we, too, have worked through the year and that we have merited and honored the title of Junior Debaters . 1 l . ,baggy Page One hundred one lif- Rear- W, Coultley. ll.

The Glu Cluls The Glee Club presents - the audience applauds - and we congratulate our ehoristers with their generous repertoire of carols and chanties. The premiere this year was held in the atmosphere of evergreen. The Christ- mas play with Scrooge, and then that Night Peaceful and Blestn. Quaint little song legends of Mary and her lullabies thrilled us. The night was filled with Christmas. .lim Mahony's song was hummed for daysg the tune we shall remem- ber far into other Christmas nights. A Minstrel Show and a St. Patrick's fete needed a chorus. The Club again occupied the stage to sing of shamroeks and reveries of Galway Bay. Then across the sea on a song trek to lands of banjoes and evenings by the moonlight. There were quartets and duets and again a Mahony solo. The applause of the audience confirmed their appreciation. Page Une liumlrerl Nm 4 45, Q' T viii? fo AJ. fo 1939 Q , .li 5' . 99 W. Ilealy. Fr.

Dwyer, '50g Vice-President, Lawrence KI. Eagan, '50g Secretary-Treasurer, Denis Dwyer, '52, Regular weekly meetings were held Friday evenings in which discussion of the Opening, the Middle Game and the End Game proved fruitful in the awakening in the club members of the multitudinous possibilities of the game. Diagrams of situations from actual play were studied. lnstructive masterpieces of famous experts were gone over. The result was a marked im- provement in technique. john F. Comerford was our representative at the junior championship tour- nament of the Massachusetts State Chess Association held last November in Cambridge.

In this camp the all-important conditioning was ironed out in a vigorous six-hour day that hardened the boys into a fine machine before school opened. With this start Co-captains John O'Neill and Tom O'Brien led the team, tough- cned by the fine training to an impressive four wins and one loss. At the end posts John 0'Laughlin and Bill Hickey shared the honors. John made many a spectacular catch and was exceptional on defense. Bill, with his hard drive and pass ability proved himself a seasoned regular. In the right tackle slot co-captain Tom O,Brien played flawlessly and was responsible for many long gains and bone-crushing tackles. Jim Mahony played at left tackle with professional finesse and even though hampered by an injured ankle inspired the line with his stellar performances. Big Jim Vogt, able substi- tute, with his weight and power anchored his side like a veteran. Paul Printon and Larry Ambrosino played guard and a better pair would be hard to Hnd. . up , lzumlrerl .sly .

John Burns took over when Dave tired and shone especially on the defense. In the backfield co-captain john O'Neill and jack Higgins were the field generals. O'Neill suffered a sprained ankle early in the season and could be used only sparingly until the final contest. At fullback jim Hamilton sparkled with his bullet passes, driving power, and booming kicks. Halfback Jim Brogioli and Bill May rounded out a well-balanced starting line-up. Jim's swivel-hips teamed with lightning speed toted the pigskin for many a yard, while Bill's twisting speed and long-legged power ate up the yard- age between scrimmage line and goal. Here was a fine team with only one loss on its record despite injuries to key men. Our best breakaway runner, Pete Gillespie, a boy who scored two fifty-yard touchdowns in the first game, ended his rampage there with a badly injured knee. Marian Billewicz, also injured in the first game with a broken ankle, was never returned to activity. Stalwart jim Mahony, though playing pluckily on, was considerably slowed down by a painful foot. With these somber notes we leave the rest to the coming teams of Cranwell. Herefs hoping you, future Cranwel- lians, can equal or even surpass us '49ers. Best of luck to you. CRANWELL vs. Kingswood Cranwell started the season with the same force that was to carry it to its end. Kingswood was the first to fall under the new mighty, fighting aggregation that Cranwell fielded. Cranwell kicked of and the scrappy Kingswood eleven fought downfield only to miss the first tally of the game by inches. Cranwell took over on downs and marched the length of the field to counter on a driving catch by Jim Hamil- ton in the end-zone. The lightning attack was sparked by jim Brogioli, Bill May, Pete Gillespie and finally jack Higgins' perfect pass. Jim Hamilton added a perfect placement to make the score 7-O. Jim Mahony's kick-ofii floated to the five and Kingswood, gaining on the ground and through the air was quickly deep into Blue and Gold territory. Again with just a few feet to go it was Cranwell showing its tremendous line strength and taking over to begin another sustained drive goalward. This time the line opened the holes instead of stopping them up with backs sliding through to gain precious yardage. Substantial gains were accu- mulated by Gillespie and May and the deadly passes of Jack Higgins and versa- tile jim Hamilton put Cranwell into scoring position for the second time in the game. This time it was Pete Gillespie that covered the remaining distance only to have his score called back on an off-side penalty. The first half ended with the score still 7-O. Later in the third period it was jim Hamilton who again boosted the score when he took a pitch-out from quarterback Higgins and stepped off the remain- VARSITY FOOTBALL RECORD Cranwell 17 - Kingswood 7 Cranwell 27 - Greer O Cranwell 26 - Darrow O Cranwell O - Hotchkiss 19 Cranwell 20 - Jesse Lee 7 5 wsu we i v f 1 A Page One hundred seven ing yardage on a wide end-sweep. He again countered successfully with the extra point. The score was now 14-O and victory was almost in the hands of the home team. The scoring however ceased for awhile and the battle was fought in the lines. Outstanding for Cranwell in this department were Co-captain Tom O'Brien, Larry Ambrosino, Paul Printon, and jim Mahony. Towards the middle of the final period when Cranwell's aerial and ground attack began to falter, lim Hamilton, possessor of all his team's points, proved his triple-threat ability by splitting the uprights with a perfect placement at a difficult angle. In the game's waning moments, after the ball had changed hands a few times, Kings- wood finally found themselves and after a long but powerful march, cashed in on their only touchdown of the game. The final whistle sounded with Cran- well possessing their first of many wins this season. Final score read Cranwell I7- Kingswood 7. CRANWWQLL 1'5. DARRUXW On October 9th an inspired Cranwell squad traveled to Darrow school to notch up its second successive victory. The weather conditions were ideal but the quarters were only eight minutes in length. Cranwell kicked off to Darrow and they received deep in their own territory. Gaining at short intervals they retained the ball until midway through the period. Cranwell finally got the ball on their own forty and marched to the Darrow twenty-yard stripe when the period ended. Early in the second period jim Brogioli and .lim Hamilton hammered the Darrow line for nineteen yards. Blocking by tackles jim Mahony and Co-captain Tom O'Brien paved the way for these fine runs. Billy May then took a hand-off from -lack Higgins and plunged to pay dirt from the one. Hamilton's attempted con- version was wide by inches. Another score was registered in this period on a fine run by Brogioli but the score was nullihecl by a miscue in the Cranwell backfield. The period quickly ended and the Blue and Gold led by a slim margin of 6-O. A different Cranwell team renewed the encounter in the second half. Taking to the air quarterback Higgins repeatedly rifled passes to Sticky Fingers O'I.aughlin and Hickey. Once past the midheld stripe alternate plunges by Ham- ilton and May carried the ball deep into enemy territory. Field-general Higgins then outsmarted the opposition and threw a perfect pass to Brogioli who gath- 6933155 5' 5 ea 'I00u'D ig? 645 'fil93Q'Q S4 Z 'L 'N 2' 3 5 15 Qs E. 71 .un- filo at r tiff' T' f -,gs 1 S L ered up the pigskin and galloped unmolested into the end-zone. Again Hamil- ton's placement went wide of its mark. Precision blocking by guards Printon and Vogt aided tremendously in this touchdown. jim Mahony kicked off and Darrow held the ball tenaciously until the period ended. At the end of the third quarter Cranwell ruled 12-O. Not satisfied with a mere twelve point margin the Blue and Gold now began to score with a vengeance. jim Hamilton lashed the Darrow line for a sizable gain and Brogioli contributed ICH more yards on an end sweep. Billy May then squirmed over the goal-line from the one on his second six of the day. jim Ham- ilton made this one good to boost the score to 19-O. Darrow received another Mahony kick-off but was thwarted in all attempts at ground gaining. Dave Morrison, stalwart center, made sure there was no use for Darrow backs to buck at the line. Gus Bonivita shone brilliantly on defense by stopping end runs and nailing Darrow backs behind the line. The opponent's passing attack was stymied by Cranwell's best pass defense to date which man- aged to ground all but two enemy aerials on the day's attempts. The Blue and Gold finally took the ball and rolled to the Darrow ten. Fullback jim Hamilton, on an off-tackle play bulled his way through a bevy of aspiring opponent tacklers to pay dirt. Left-footed Jim Mahony added the second placement of the day and Cranwell possessed an impressive 26-O lead. Many substitutes shone brightly in the day,s contest and gained all im- portant game experience. Lee Bradley and Frank Sullivan led the way for the understudies. With their second victory of the season under their belts Cranwell was now ready for the tougher contests looming up with Hotchkiss and Jesse Lee. CRANWELL vs. GREER One week after Cranwell had humbled Darrow 26-O they went one better and defeated Greer school 27-O. Coach Rooney, hoping to season the second string, started a club studded with understudies. Cranwell won the toss and elected to receive. Lee Bradley, the starting held-general, received the kick-oil and returned it to the thirty. Successive bucks by Sullivan and Cordova produced a Hrst down ,U 5 I ,, Page Une hunrlrezl llllll' and then in the still early minutes of the game Lee Bradley uncorked a long pass to Bill Hickey who sprinted the remaining distance for a score. Here, as hap- pened often in the game, a penalty nullified the tally. On the next play Cran- well fumbled and Greer took over. A Greer pass was intercepted by Bradley and held deep in their own territory. Cranwell was forced to punt out. Now the situation was reversed and though Coach Rooney sent in some hrst stringers the quarter ended in a O-O deadlock. Early in the second quarter Greer punted out of danger and Cranwell imme- diately started hlling the air with a bevy of passes. One went awry, however, and found itself in the arms of an enemy back who was quickly hit hard by end Bonavita. Greer retaliated with another aerial which was stolen by jim Hamil- ton and returned to the foe's thirty. On the next play quarterback Higgins skirted end for the remaining yardage and a score. Hamilton clicked with his conver- sion and the score read 7-O. Cranwell kicked-off and refused to give their opponents any ground. They took over on downs and the machine started rolling again. jim Hamilton gath- ered twenty yards and Billy May, taking a pitch-out on the eight, crossed over the goal standing up. Hamilton's conversion was wide and the score remained 13-O at the half-time whistle. Greer elected to kick-off and Brogioli returned the ball to his own thirty. Hamilton bulled his way through for twenty more. Then it was swivel- hipped Billy May cutting off his own right tackle, wheeling past the wide-eyed but helpless secondary and sprinting fifty yards for the prettiest run of the game and his second tally of the contest. Hamilton's charmed toe made good the place- ment. The second team flooded the field again and jim Mahony, defensive and offensive star lineman of the game, was taken out with a bad ankle. Greer received but Cranwell held on and after taking over on downs jack Toner gar- nered a hrst down on a fine end run. A Blue and Gold fumble paved the way for Greer's only scoring threat of the afternoon. They pressed down to the thirty but a field goal attempt was deflected by Paul Printon and Jack O,Laughlin. Co-Captain john O'Neill rifled a long pass to jack O'Laughlin for thirty yards to pull Cranwell out of danger. Billy May then repeated his early per- QWIR' I age One humlrea' ten AQ 45+ Qi lg Qi. n if '2g.Q.ilE!i 0'1 Fiizomev 'Q' , V'1a, new N .41 t 'ww .lv , I as 1 formance by scampering fifty more yards only to have the play nullified on a Cranwell miscue. After an exchange of punts jack O'Laughlin snagged another O'Neill pass, but unable to elude the last taekler was prevented from a score. Hamilton then hurled a long pass to end Hickey but he penalized his own touch- down by interfering with his opponent. Greer now tried desperately to gain yardage but the Blue and Gold held and took possession at the midfield stripe. Here jim Hamilton swept his own left end for another fifty-yard jaunt with big jim Vogt throwing the key block on the play. The final whistle soon sounded with Cranwell triumphant 27-O. The home team was now ready for the biggest tilt of the season - Hotchkiss. CRANWELL vs. HOTCHKISS A strong and well-balanced Hotchkiss Prep eleven of Lakeville, Conn. pinned the first defeat of the season on Tom Rooney's Cranwell Prep foot- ballers here today by a 19-O score. Prior to today's tussle the Blue and Gold gridsters had bowled over all opposition, winning from Kingswood, Darrow and Greer respectively. Cranwell wounded and weakened by many injuries of key men, still came from the floor to carry the battle to the Nutmeger's three-yard stripe on just five running plays by Hamilton, May, Brogiofi, and Higgins. A penalty set them back to the eight where Hotchkiss stiffened and Cranwell was unable to muster the needed power to score. The initial period ended in a score- less tie. Early in the second quarter Hotchkiss, after being held on even terms for the first 12 minutes began to move. On a series of line bucks and end runs they worked the ball to the Cranwell 20 yard stripe. Here quarterback Emerson un- leashed a deadly pass to end Peabody who had shaken himself loose in the end- zone. The placement was wide. Cranwell stiffened their defense during the third quarter and it was mostly a battle between the two lines. Jim Mahony, nursing an injured ankle, still man- aged to play a stellar game and inspired the rest of the team with his fine tackles and key blocks. Center Dave Morrison played his usual steady, heads-up game, giving the line pointers on both offense and defense. Ends O'Laughlin and Bon- avita nipped many a hopeful end-sweep before it had a chance to get started 5 ,, A Page Une hundred eleven and also gathered in a few passes to help the losing cause. Co-Captain Tom O'Brien and Printon both played one of their best games of the season along with jim Vogt who also gave his all. The third quarter was a stalemate and neither club scored. The final quarter saw Cranwell weakening from lack of substitutions and Hotchkiss with their well-padded eleven beginning to roll with two more touch- downs. The first score of the period came after a series of line bucks and short passes. Then McCormick carried the last 20 for the second score of the game. Bush made good the extra point. A few minutes later Dave Quinby, star fullback for Hotchkiss, bulled around left end for the last 20 and the last touchdown of the day. The attempted placement was unsuccessful. The final Whistle ended with Cranwell holding the losing end of a, 19-0 score and their only defeat of the season. Though defeated Cranwell could never be counted out and should be re- commended for their sportsmanship and stamina, especially those in the backfield who played most of the game without substitution. The rivalry between Hotch- kiss and Cranwell will still go on and we hope that our successors will avenge this defeat in future contests. CRANWELL vs. JESSE LEE A rejuvenated Cranwell eleven ended the season here today on a sweet note, coming back from the defeat handed them by Hotchkiss and trouncing the jesse Lee Academy gridsters of West Reddington, Conn. by a 20-7 score. Throughout the entire game the Blue and Gold were masters dominating the play. Cranwell kicked off and held jesse Lee on downs and the Nutmeg Staters were forced to punt. Here the Cranwell attack began to roll and after a series of vicious line bucks by May, Brogioli, and Hamilton the pigskin reached the jesse Lee 30. On the next play Jim Hamilton faded and rifled a long pass to Bill May who was waiting in the end-zone. jim Hamilton place kicked the extra point and Cranwell led 7-0. Superb line play, especially by Larry Ambrosino, jim Vogt, combining with Paul Printon and Tom O,Brien, made possible this lightning score. Jesse Lee received the kick-off but was unable again to pene- trate the Cranwell forward wall and the Blue and Gold again took over. A fast end run by Hamilton, two short passes to O'Laughlin and Bonavita, and a line buck by Bill May brought the leather to the Jesse Lee 10. Here right- half jim Brogioli squirmed over onto pay dirt for the second score of the game. Hamilton's placement was wide so Cranwell led 13-O. Throughout the second and third periods Jesse Lee staved off many a Cranwell attack and the Blue and Gold was held scoreless. Here Coach Rooney inserted practically his entire re- serve squad to give them needed experience and to win their hard-earned letters. Sub-end Viguerie and Kelley played keen ball while guards Eagan and Murphy with Turain anchored the center of the line along with Bob De Blois. Skip Couz- ens showed brightly at the tackle slot as did Culhane at the end post. Lee Brad- ley again showed himself a capable Held-general and backs Toner and Cordova toted the leather well. The Sullivan brothers showed great promise as did Mark Stevenson. The fourth period saw both teams score.

Cranwell bounced right back with a sustained drive culminating on the jesse Lee 15 yard stripe. Here Bill May took a hand-oi? from Higgins, found a wide hole in his left Hank and churned 15 yards for a touchdown. jim Hamilton's conversion proved true making the final score 20-7. Cranwell ended their season with a four win and one loss record which in anybody's league is a good slate. Unfortunately injuries to two footballers, Pete Gillespie and Marion Billewicz cancelled their services for the remainder of the season. Had they been in action to help in every game the difference in scores and victories would have been immeasureable. Had these two Cranwell stars, along with Bill Hassan, who suffered an appendectomy, and Dan Burns, who broke an ankle, been available, there is no doubt that the Blue and Gold eleven would have had a clean slate for the 1948 season.

A twelve and three record was climaxed by an invitation to the New England Class B Prep School Tournament and was eagerly accepted by the Blue and Gold. The year, however, had its disappointments as well as its joys for two one point defeats were soothed only by victories over Willistoii and Monson. ln the post-season play the coveted win over St. Sebastian was short-lived as Cranwell suffered a defeat in the hnals of the tournament against Governor Dummer. The acquisition of jimmy Del Grande, former Searles High Star, added the needed scoring punch that brought Cranwell through this, the most successful season in the history of the school. Together with Captain jack O'Neill the Blue and Gold were fortunate indeed to have these two outstanding players at the same time. They had not only an undaunted spirit but ability to match it. They made themselves admired by opponents as well as teammates and their play- making was as valuable as their scoring potentialities. joe Kirby added his usual steady, sure type of ball playing and proved himself indispensible in many a close contest. Tom U'Brien played his position under the boards with more polish and iight than displayed in former years and his newly acquired hook . PKR' l'a,f,e Une liumirefl Sl,X'lf?t'Il y ah l l . JJ V i f'r9: Q' e' garnered his team many a precious point. Paul Printon and jack Higgins gave their team the needed drive and sharpshooting to complete a well-balanced club and both could always be relied on in the tight moments of a game. Larry Rowe and jim Mahony proved themselves most able of utility men and their perform- ances on many occasions were highly laudable. A group of reliable substitutes included Fenton FitzPatrick, Jim Hamilton, Jim Gill and Rod O'Neil who gave their team a safe insurance during the long and arduous season. The absence of Pete Gillespie due to a football injury was deeply felt and his stamina and aggressiveness would have aided much in the close defeats. In the season's play the Cranwell quintet totaled the largest number of points in the school,s history as they gathered 661 rallies to their opponent's 548. And so one of the school,s greatest squads retires into history and expresses its sincere hopes for successful Blue and Gold teams in the future.

Despite this fact the team slowly built up a lead mainly due to the talented edorts of ,lim Del Grande and jack O'Neill. The crowd was pleased by their exhibition of ball-handling and all around floor play, not to mention their amaz- ing accuracy on their shots so early in the season. At the end of the first half Cranwell possessed a large enough lead to relax and Coach Rooney played his eager substitutes. Even with their superior height the Darrow quintet was unable to keep up with the fast paee set by the Cranwell hve. The speed and deception employed by Cranwell broke the right Darrow zone and baffled the Darrow defensive strategy. Showing themselves in this game were Jack Higgins, Paul Printon, Aloe Kirby, Tom O'Brien, Larry Rowe, and jim Mahony. The game showed there was good hope for a promising season and under the guidance of Coach Rooney and more practice it was evident that the team's record this year would be one of the best in the school's history. CR ANWIZLL -vs. BERKSHIRE Taking to the hardwood for the second time the Cranwell five having shown their ability against Darrow, hoped to repeat their exhibition against a strong Berkshire quintet. As was expected Berkshire employed a tight two-one-two zone and Coach Rooney, having primed his squad in a zone attack, sent his starting fave in to eraek the zone. The team showed their coaching and jumped skank'-Yer Inge Une lzunrlrerf eigfzfeerz - i W 3' We 91 04 , em.: tp .. T . Q 5 Q ,. 'S Us wx' Ni Q We .. 1 5' H' ' it , out to an 11-4 lead after trailing 4-O. Cranwell stayed ahead due mostly to their smooth ball handling and fast-working offense. The main factor in Cranwell's first half success was the accurate set shots from outside by Jack Higgins, who hit the drapes four out of five times. At half time Cranwell retained a slim margin of 19-17. Early in the third quarter CranWell,s lead was lost as the Berkshire zone tightened and the Sheffield boys found themselves. Most of the point getting was done by Co-captain Pearsoll and Blakeslee. As the final period drew to a close Berkshire held a lead, seemingly insurmountable, but the Cranwell hoop- sters found the range and with a minute to be played the Berkshire lead was a slim but tenaciously held three point margin, 4O-37. Captain jack O'Neill then waved a foul shot after swishing one and Cranwell took the ball out at mid- court. O'Neill took a pass in the corner and threw up a score-tying hook shot that never even hit the rim. For thirty seconds the teams fought but neither was able to score. But with three seconds remaining Blakeslee of Berkshire was fouled and his conversion was good nullifying any Cranwell hopes for an extra period. A return contest was eagerly sought after. CRANWELL 715. HOTCHKISS Suffering from a heart-breaking one point defeat handed them by the strong Berkshire five, the Cranwell quintet hoped to revenge themselves against an aggressive Hotchkiss club. The game was rather slow throughout the first half and when the whistle blew for the intermission, the score read Cranwell 26-Hotchkiss 23. The pace quickened, however, with the start of the'third period. As the game continued Hotchkiss began to draw away and Cranwell fought back desperately and at the 3 . 5 f i i 3 KIRBY DEL GRANDE llf 4 miss, J da Page One hundred nmeteen .rig end of the third period, the two teams stood deadlocked at 37 points apiece. With four minutes remaining to play the Rooney-men surged into the lead. Hotchkiss drew up and the lead exchanged hands a few more times. Then with fifteen seconds left jimmy Del Grande's one-hand push shot was good from the foul line and Cranwell led by a slim point, 46-45. The question to the spectators was-could they hold it? Hotchkiss came up court and poured shots at the hoop but none would fall true to the mark. The fight under the backboards was a melee, but Tom O'Brien finally came up with the ball with five seconds re- maining. A Cranwell pass was intercepted and with two seconds left Hotchkiss dunked a lay-up to shatter Cranwell's chances for a victory. CRANNVELL vs. KINGSWOOD Still smarting under the Hotchkiss defeat and handicapped by the loss of Pete Gillespie the Cranwell quintet took the floor against Kingswood bound on vengeance. The Blue and Gold quickly seized their opportunities and with Jim Del Grande hooping 17 points they lead 32-18 at the half. The team continued to function smoothly and the substitutes left the bench to gain valuable game experience. The Kingswood boys were not especially tall but proved themselves an aggressive club - a bit too aggressive perhaps as the fourth period saw three of the team go out on personal fouls. jim Del Grande hit his stride in this game as he scored his highest number of points to date. He countered with 22 while Captain Jack O,Neill was deadly from the foul line sinking five out of five and connecting for still more points from the floor. joe Kirby and Jack Higgins were steady and accurate hitting for 8 and 7 points respectively. Indeed the whole team contributed to what may be termed a controlled rout. The Kings- wood club presented the picture of a well-balanced club trying vainly to group their points against their fast-moving opponents. Cranwell was never pressed during the game outscoring their Connecticut rivals in every period as they evened up the seasonls record with a 53-33 victory. CRANWELL vs. SALISBURY Cranwell journeyed to Salisbury expecting another thrilling finish as their opponents were also one point victims of Berkshire. Instead the Blue and Gold brought home the biggest score ever run up in the history of the school. Jim Del Grande broke the school's all time scoring record for one game as he tallied for 30 points. The prediction of things to come came early in the contest as Cranwell jumped to a first quarter lead of 21-1O with Jack Higgins pouring in better than a point a minute in the first period. In the second quarter the Hreworks really began as the Blue and Gold outscored their opponents 32 points to 8 producing a 53-18 half-time lead. ilk 'Z S0019 945,06 JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL RECORD Cranwell 24 - Darrow 13 Cranwell 32 - Monson 30 Cranwell 36 - Salisbury 38 Cranwell 34 - Salisbury 30 Cranwell 24 - Williston 27 Cranwell 31 - Hotchkiss 37 Page One hundred twenty v an gg v-I Qi , 4 ' Q vii? e S145 fi A 1 f 1 Q Yi it f' e 1 +A , gg. The second half was a repetition of the first and though Coach Rooney emptied the bench the score continued to mount. Jack O'Neill's hooks and sets gathered him 22 points while joe Kirby added 12 more for the victors. Paul Printon took over a forward position and accounted for many an interception and fast break besides garnering 7 points. At the final horn the score read Cran- well 87-Salisbury 28. This game showed what the team was capable of doing and there were great hopes for the contest with Williston on the coming Satur- day. CRANWELL vs. WILLISTON It was a day to be remembered in the annals of Cranwell sports history for the Rooney-men vanquished a strong Williston quintet for the first time in their now traditional rivalry. The team was cheered on by the Senior class who had journeyed to Northampton to watch the exciting and gratifying contest. The opponents, widely recognized for their effectiveness on their home floor, just couldn't cope with the fast break system lead by jim Del Grande and Jack O'Neill, a pair of the school's really great hoopsters. Tom O'Brien turned in the best performance of his career as he made himself very much felt under the op- ponents' backboards. The play of every man might have meant the game at any moment yet the team functioned smoothly as well as calmly at all times. Cranwell jumped to an early lead, a lead that was lost for a little less than 1O seconds. The game opened with the same momentum that was to carry it to its thrilling finish. jim Del Grande was the first to tally for the Blue and Gold and quick behind him was Jack O'Neill who hit the drapes for two also. The first half continued on, fast and furious, with Cranwell slowly gaining an increas- ing lead. The buzzer finally sounded ending the initial half with Cranwell enjoy- ing a 24-17 edge over their rivals. M was-....w.,.sa.al i MAHONY HIGGINS 4 l Page 0 ne hundred twenty one The fireworks started early in the second half as the Williston Warriors began to chop away the Rooney-men's now slim lead. In the entire third quarter the Blue and Gold were able only to grace the nets for five points while their opponents gathered better than a point a minute. The last quarter provided the most thrilling Hnish ever witnessed between the two teams. With only two min- utes remaining the enemy hoopsters had made a new game of it but Cranwell retaliated to hold their lead. An interception and a beautiful tap-in by Mahony, who made good the extra point as well, seemed to ice the game but two quick field goals by Frank Novak and a two pointer by center Stimets saw Williston take the lead with just 20 seconds to play. Then it was that Cranwell put on the drive as Jimmy Del Grande soloed down the court in a dribbling exhibition and went up for a shot. His shot went wild as he was hacked on the arm and he went to the line to take two. With only 32, seconds in the game he sunk the tying and winning points. Williston took the ball out quickly but had time for only a long, long set shot which failed to hit its mark as the final buzzer sounded. The final score read Cranwell 42 - Williston 41. jim Del Grande and Jack O'Neill were carried off the court on the shoul- ders of the cheering Cranwell Seniors. CRANWELL vs. MONSON Cranwell's encounter with the favored Monson quintet kept a roaring stu- dent body on the edge of their seats until the final moments of the game. The Class B Prep School Champions of New England were dazzled in the early min- utes of the game by the lightning attack put on by the Blue and Gold. A brace of lay up shots by Jack O,Neill and a push shot from outside by Jim Del Grande put Cranwell out in the lead momentarily but Christaini was rapid in countering with two arching sets of his own to put the Marauders,' back in the ball game. Throughout the remainder of the first half each team matched the other point for point. The half-time buzzer found Cranwell maintaining a slim one point mar- gin, 20-19. The third quarter the Blue and Gold kept up the torrid pace set by their opponents. .Ioe Kirby's accuracy from the outside, Jack Higgins' expert foul shooting and Tom O'Brien's newly developed hook kept the home team in the game all the way. Toward the end of the period frequent time outs by Monson gave testimony of their tiring condition. The relentless Cranwell press however continued until a live point margin separated them from their opponents and Monson's attempts to whittle down the lead resulted in a great deal of fouling. Time and time again Jim Del Grande and Captain Jack O'Neill converted their free tosses to widen the gap. The last few minutes saw Cranwell moving faster than ever instead of trying to protect their lead and their efforts resulted in a 10 point splurge in the closing seconds. The final score read Cranwell 5O-Mon- son 40, and the Blue and Gold well on their way to the Boston Tournament. CRANWELL fus. SALISBURY In a return match with Salisbury the Blue and Gold again triumphed over their opponents but not by quite so big a margin. Coach Rooney did not start his two aces, Jim Del Grande and Jack O'Neill, for fear of running up another big gtavmfa W1 L5 Q .x I g. J 'tI9aQ'Q Page One huna'red twenty-two Yg qgl 515 Q9 P a WN c .. AE' +P I g eff? score. Printon and Kirby started at the forward positions while Mahony and jack Higgins performed as guards. Tom O'Brien took the tap and the Cran- well machine had started rolling. The Hrst quarter saw the Rooney-men outscore their foes 19-11 and gain a lead that was not to be lost for the rest of the contest. In the second quarter sparkling defensive play prevented the hapless Salisbury quintet from scoring a point and the half ended with Cranwell holding a big 33-11 lead. The second half continued as the first and Granwell substitutes saw plenty of action. Paul Printon shared honors with jack Higgins as the game's leading scorer, both with 10 apiece. Tom O'Brien followed close behind with seven while jim Gill and Fenton FitzPatrick proved able utility men scoring five and four points, respectively. The game was valuable experience for future hoopsters and a breather before the big contest coming up against the mighty Suffield aggregation. CRANWELL fw. SUFFIELD The SuHi1eld Academy hoopsters hung up their tenth victory in 11 starts and Granwell annexed their third defeat in nine contests by a score of 50-34. Cranwell jumped to a hasty Eve point lead on baskets by O'Neill and Del Grande and held the edge until late in the first quarter when Suffield broke the tie. Suffield height began to overshadow the smaller Cranwell quintet and at the close of the first quarter they possessed a 12-10 bulge. In the second quarter the Blue and Gold tried valiantly to overcome the two point advantage but Suffield continued to rule the boards. Joe Kirby swished three points while Tom O'Brien countered With five hoops but at the intermission Suffield led 25-19. In the third quarter SufHeld,s attack functioned more smoothly and their height showed to good advantage. Jack O'Neill tried time and again to put 1 , ani Q, i pl AVAV ,. , Vzll 5... if A '-, if I. O'NEILL PRINTON I had I Page One hundred twenty three 117' .9 Page One Cranwell back in the game and scored all the points for the Blue and Gold in that period. The last quarter proved to be Cranwell's downfall and the depth of Suf- fieldfs squad saw action. The tired Cranwell hoopsters missed many a shot while the opponent,s fresh subs wore down their resistence. Suffield outclassed the Rooney-men both in the shot department and board work. The final tally stood at 50-34. jack O'Neill was high scorer for Cranwell garnering 14 points with Tom O,Brien and Jim Del Grande accounting for six and seven respectively. Jack Higgins and Joe Kirby added the remaining points, but to no avail. It was a stain on their fine record but not one to be ashamed of by any means. CRANWELL vs. CANTERBURY The Blue and Gold, recovering from the defeat suffered at the hands of Suffield, journeyed to New Milford, Conn. to grapple with the Blue and White of Canterbury. Riding on the laurels of their season's record the Rooney-men ar- rived overconfident and anxious. Canterbury worked from a three-two zone and employed a fast break. The Cranwell five was now confronted with cracking a zone that had some tall men under the boards. Before the boys found themselves Canterbury had taken advantage of the tightness to jump to a 16-O lead as the first quarter ended. It was then that the hoopsters from Lenox realized that they were in for a battle. The boys Finally found themselves, however, and Jack O'Neill and Jim Del Grande started clicking with their one-handers while Joe Kirby and Paul Printon ran the Canterbury zone in circles with their fine ball handling. Tom O'Brien, though guarding the opponent's star, fought and captured many a precious re- bound. The score at the half showed Cranwell now keeping up with their op- ponents with a 16-12 score. After Coach Rooney gave his helpful instruction during the intermission the boys showed a new spirit and as the third quarter dwindled away so did the Canterbury lead. However, the Blue and White managed to keep ahead of the driving Cranwell club and at the end of the third quarter Canterbury still held a 34-27 deficit. In the final period Cranwell outscored their opponents 17-9 as Jack O'Neill and Jim Del Grande compiled 7 and 4 respectively for a game total of 17 and 15. The game was won on a high arching set by Paul Printon in the last four sec- onds. His play along with Joe Kirby's was a deciding factor of the game as their passing was responsible for many a basket. The Hnal outcome was a 44-43 Cran- well victory. CRANWELL vs. JESSE LEE Making the longest journey thus far in the season the Rooney-men traveled to Danbury, Conn. to meet the jesse Lee Academy five. As the game began Cranwell showed their superiority on the floor as well as under the backboards. During the first quarter the game progressed slowly but the accuracy displayed from the foul line by Paul Printon and all-around play of Jim Del Grande kept the lead in Cranwell's possession.

As the second quarter drew to a close it was evident the smaller jesse Lee team was tiring and Coach Rooney sent Larry Rowe in to relieve Tom O,Brien who was doing a nice job under the boards. Rowe promptly caught Fire from the pivot and hooked in two beauties. As the half drew to a close two quick field goals and a foul narrowed Cranwell's half-time lead to 24-19. It was in the second half that Cranwell played superior ball outscoring the jesse Lee quintet 39-10. The Blue and Gold capitalized on their opponent's poor passing and their own effectiveness under the boards. Midway in the fourth period Jesse Lee switched to a zone defense and most of the scoring was done from the outside by Jack O'Neill and jim Del Grande. At the automatic Coach Rooney emptied the bench and all the substitutes acquired some excellent experi- ence against a zone. When the final buzzer sounded Cranwell was victorious with a 63-34 win. CRANWELL vs. GREER Cranwell continued their scoring spree on a scrappy but outclassed Greer quintet who was unable to cope with the fast-breaking Blue and Gold. jim Del Grande had a field day garnering 29 points, his second highest of the season. jack O'Neill tallied for ten though neither he nor Del Grande played the entire game. Cranwell started their attack moving early in the first period as they out- scored their opponents 19-8. The hooks of Del Grande proved deadly as he hit with three in a row while jack O'Neill was having difficulty hitting from outside the Greer zone. In the second quarter Coach Rooney sent in his substitutes who lg? i K ROWE HAMILTON 1 5 P 0 1 1 it ,m'kXfi A age ne zunzref wenly ve 3,1 also fared well for themselves. The half-time buzzer sounded with the home team enjoying a comfortable 33-22 lead. The first string started the second half and the fast break was functioning much more smoothly than it had in the first half. jim Del Grande again sparked the drive and jack O'Neill's sets began to hit. joe Kirby worked well under the boards and was responsible for many a pretty play. With a substantial lead gained the subs again took to the floor and many young hoopsters showed great promise. The final buzzer sounded after Ray Rosseel had countered with the last field goal of the day. Final tally stood, Cranwell 62 - Greer 46. CRANWELL vs. HOTCHKISS Eager to redeem themselves against their one basket victors Cranwell trav- eled to Lakeville, Conn., to battle with their traditional rivals, Hotchkiss. The Blue and Gold, unusually effective on their opponent's court, kept up their Win- ning streak to bring home a 47-42 victory. joe Kirby started the first quarter with a beautiful set shot and jack O'Neill followed after him with one of his deadly hooks. The Hotchkiss five however was not too worried as their shots from outside the center of the key were mak- ing up for the deHcit and eventually pushing them into the lead. The second quarter saw the ball exchange hands rapidly but there was not much scoring done by either club. However, by half-time Hotchkiss had increased their advantage to 8 points. The third quarter brought a big question as jack O'Neill went out of the game with five personal fouls and Hotchkiss still clinging to their 7 point margin. However with less than 3 minutes to play the Blue and Gold caught their elu- sive opponents and took the lead. They quickly built up a five point margin which lasted until the final buzzer. This last minute drive was due mainly to the efforts of jim Del Grande and Paul Printon who poured in 11 and 6 points re- spectively in the last quarter alone. It was a hard fought for win and a much enjoyed one for it evened the two clubs up at a victory apiece for the season. CRANWELL vs. ST. SEBASTIAN Among the outstanding sports triumphs growing swiftly each year, there will never be a more cherished remembrance to Cranwell students and alumni than their team's trip to the Boston Garden. A dream has grown into a reality for the Cranwell quintet has been invited to compete in the New England Prep School Class B tournament. Out of the five hopefuls Cranwell had drawn St. Sebastians for their opening fracas. An eager and determined squad led by Captain Jack O'Neill bounced onto the tremendous Garden court a bit bewildered by their new surroundings but still possessing the same spirit that carried them through one of the best seasons a Cranwell team has ever enjoyed. Despite a long five-hour trip the team arrived on time and started the game with timely scores by joe Kirby and Paul Printon giving their team a lead which they didn,t relinquish until early in the third period. Smooth ball playing by the entire squad attributed to this early lead and the holding of it. Cranwell made an amazingly high percentage of their shots and though Brooks of the op- ponents was very effective under the boards it was not enough to equal the Cran- QGPFRHG Page One hundred twenty-six .5 -Qj, gl ffl Q U l Ji Q 'sg i ,ff X af' L I :G 5 V .ng SU 1 ' T E' ' x van' -2 f : . xg?

In the third period the lead exchanged hands on numerous occasions and at the end of this period the St. Sebastian club was holding a 34-33 lead. However, with four minutes remaining in the game Cranwell grouped their scoring to over- take their opponents and hold onto their lead until the final buzzer. Jim Del Grande and joe Kirby shared high scoring honors with 11 apiece while Jack O'Neill and Paul Printon were second with eight each. The team had worn off their first stagefright and was now looking forward to the final game with the highly-rated Governor Dummer. CRANWELL vs. GUVERNOR DUMMER In the finals of the Class B Prep School Tournament in the Boston Garden the Blue and Gold, failing to equalize an early lead set by their opponents, bowed to Governor Dummer of Boston by a 49-32 score. Soon after the initial jump the Governors connected with three quick bas- kets and leapt to a 6-O lead. The Blue and Gold, still a bit dazed, finally settled down and started up their usually fine brand of passing and shooting. Governor Dummer thwarted Cranwell's weave by utilizing a tight zone defense with their star. 6' 5 Rod Jennings, directly under the hoop. This prevented Granwell from employing their usual pass and cut offense and they reverted to setting from the outside. The Governors, however, maintained their fast break offense with much success and at the end of the first quarter they lead 12-4. In the second period the Rooney-men found themselves momentarily and showed their teamwork reminiscent of the spirit displayed during the season. jim Del Grande had a big part in chopping away their rival's lead as did Joe Kirby and the Cranwell rooters had something to cheer about. But Dummer man- ,G :kiwi W5 .I '- ' A One hundred twenty seven aged to maintain their lead, as slim as it might be, and Cranwell could not tie it up. The effects of the long trip began to show on the boys as they ended the hrst half trailing 25-17. In third quarter Cranwell finally hit their stride and began steadily to hack away at the Governor's lead. jim Del Grande again sparkled as he sank shot after shot, while jack Higgins and Paul Printon ran their men ragged and coun- tered with many important points. At the end of the third period the opponents managed to cling tenaciously to a slim 34-32 margin. At this crucial point Cran- well was handicapped by the loss of Tom O'Brien who fouled out after doing a fine job of holding down the opponent's high scorer. Jim Del Grande and John O'Neill kept the attack moving but the Governors slowly began to pull away again. The rally failed and in the closing minutes of the last period the opponents put on a quick surge and produced a 10-point bulge which Cranwell could not overtake. The contest ended with the Rooney-men possessing the losing end of a 49-39 score. This tournament imprints itself in Cranwell history as the first time the bas- ketball team has gone to a Prep School tournament. And although not winning the championship the team did reach the finals and should be highly praised for the glory they brought to the school and to themselves. The school as a body is proud to congratulate the boys for their fine play, their high spirit and hard work and to thank Coach Rooney for his endless task of coaching, priming and teaching probably the greatest team in the history of the school.

The earthls largest spectator sport had finally come to their campus. Eager can- didates flocked to try and win a place on the new squad. The infant sport was fortunate indeed to have Gill Vernet at centerhalf, a footster of some renown before taking up residence at Cranwell. Fleet and agile-footed Chris Nelson added much color and drive to the squad as well as being a potential scoring threat. Goalie Bill Hughes performed admirably at the nets and Fitzljatrick and O'Neil picked up the new game quickly acquiring more polish with each contest. The Larrain brothers teamed with Leon McClellan to add a South of the Bor- der touch to the performances of the Blue and Gold. Frenchy Fleurant and joe Kirby turned in many a fine game, while john Tweddle, Alan Larson and Bob Shafter, proved valuable substitutes together with jim Kay who occasionally graced the starting line-up. The season was hlled with disappointments but lack of experience and game savvy contributed to many a losing cause. Many of the players were as new as the sport and though their willingness to learn knew no bounds, it was not .hixd V Page One liumlrefl In llfjli 'f'II1'1'-Illillbf enough to stand up against good competition. The past season was but a neces- sar prelude to the day when Cranwell's soccer representatives will be feared about the Berkshires. Much credit goes to Fr. Tobin for his diligence and energy as the coach of the squad and to Fr. Walchars for his invaluable assistance in the priming of the soccer stars of the future. CRANWELL vs. DARROW Cranwell fielded the first soccer team in the history of the School only to see it go down to defeat at the hands of a strong Darrow eleven. Green and in- experienced the Blue and Gold could not cope with their smooth-working, hard- running and experienced opponents. Darrow scored early in the Hrst quarter and kept pouring in goals regularly the entire Hrst half. However, after half-time the Cranwell defense tightened up and, though the opponent,s lead was never in jeopardy, it was a noticeable fact that only one goal scudded by goal-tender Bill Hughes. Also, the offensive play of Cranwell was noticeably improved from the little experience gained in the first half. The absence of stellar performer Gil Vernet was sorely missed and the show- ing made by Chris Nelson, the Larrain brothers and Bill Hughes, was excellent even in defeat. Cranwell knew it had met one of the best teams in the Berkshires and the defeat was not taken too hard for they knew their team held a promis- ing future. CRANWELL vs. BERKSHIRE It was in this game that Cranwell showed what it was capable of doing and had fate been a little kinder it could have been the first Cranwell victory in their newly adopted sport. The fast-moving forward line of Patricio and Jaime Larrain, Chris Nelson, Gil Vernet and Leon McClellan, was functioning smoothly as the boys seemed to come into their own. The defensive game of guards FitzPatrick and O'Neil, was stauncher than ever before. Peter Hamilton, joe Kirby and Larry Rowe, halfbacks and centerhalf, respectively, covered their territory with speed and aggressiveness. Bill Hughes turned in his usual spectacular performance at guard- ing the nets. Cranwell's strong reserves kept the game moving at a torrid pace. During the first half the Blue and Gold traded tallys with their opponents, but just before the whistle sounded the end of the period Berkshire slammed one into the goal to take a 2-1 lead. The second half proved as thrilling as the first as the two teams continued to trade goals with their same fast-moving attacks. Berkshire, however, footed in the point that broke the tie with only three minutes left in the game and from then on hung onto their slim lead so tenaciously that Cranwell couldn't break through. A few close ones caused the Cranwell rooters' hearts to rise, but the Hnal score read Berkshire 5, Cranwell 4. Q,6vm?HQ5 Page One hundred thirty Q 4- gg C23 53 ta b Q 3 O And so ended one of the most exciting contests for many a year to come. Chris Nelson countered two points and an assist, while Gil Vernet contributed one to the lost cause. It was Jaime Larrain who added the final point to Cran- well,s effort. Despite the loss the footsters did not lose heart as a game such as this could have gone one way as easily as the other. CRANWELL vs. KINGSWOOD A fast-moving and quick-witted Kingswood eleven handed Cranwell their third and last defeat of the season. Abounding in experienced and talented players the Kingswood squad showed Cranwell that they still had a lot to learn. Outplayed, outpassed and thoroughly downhearted the Blue and Gold footsters were helpless under the onslaught of enemy goals. Though performing superbly the entire game, the forward line of Nelson, Vernet, Kirby, the Larrain brothers and Fleurant just couldn't seem to break the ice against their experienced oppo- nents. The defensive play of Billewicz, FitzPatrick and O'Neil, was good under the circumstances as was also the play of goalie Bill Hughes. Larry Rowe turned in his best game of the season as he was literally all over the field. John Tweddle and Peter Hamilton were also excellent at their halfback positions. The season's last game saw much improvement and promise in players such as Al Larson, jim Kay, Gene Dwyer and Bob Shafter. This Hnal defeat was a sad note to end the season, but with the sport so new and different it was a test that had to be under- gone, if soccer is to become a major sport at Cranwell. 1 l ,Magi A Page One hundred thirty one Lf lfvnr ll.

Hockey ln a winter renowned for its balmy weather the Blue and Gold hockey team had to play without practice but still won one impressive game while it dropped the other to Berkshire. Mr. Shea, KI., organized his first two lines in the few practices we had and they showed real promise, if ice could have been obtained, to develop that promise. The first line saw two old timers, Bill May and Frenehy Fleurant, teaming again. Frenehy', occupied the pivot slot while Bill toured the right wing lane. Bob Sullivan, a sophomore with promise, rounded out the trio. This line proved to be the goal-getting line of the squad. On the second line two veterans, Bill Healy and Dan Burns, combined again while Dave Reynolds moved up from the third line to add his talents to the duo. On defense Bill Hickey, after playing a year with George Palms as his talented mate, passed his knowledge on to Bob De Blois who improved steadily. This duo is bound to be a bone-crushing defense in a few years. In the goal Bill Culhane shone in both games and really proved his alertness and agility. Anthony Bellucci took over admirably when Bill was injured in the Millbrook game. . 'PKR' Page One liumlrerl llilrly-Iwo 6 04, fb ltfiaits tn lt Q' H ' .ily 5 'N ' fodt o o' Mr. Shea, SJ., deserves congratulations for his untiring work on the rink and guiding spirit toward the youngsters. He is leaving this year and must be thanked for two years of splendid coaching. It is too bad he cannot stay and round out promising freshmen like George Flynn and Vin Kelley, but that re- mains for some other coach. With the fine material on hand we are all looking to an undefeated season like that of 1947. CRANWELL vs. MILLBROOK The Cranwell hockey team inaugurated its 1949 season with an impressive 4-3 victory over Millbrook Academy. The Blue and Gold with only three days of practice to their credit and no scrimmages surprised everyone with their Hne skating and scoring attack. In the Hrst few minutes of the contest the play was fairly even by both teams and no one could split the opposition's defense and score. At 13:26 Sophomore Dave Reynolds gave Bill Healy a fine pass from behind the net and Bill slapped the disc home for the initial score. The Hrst period ended with Cranwell in the lead. Bill Culhane shone in the goal but was removed from the game with a stitched lip. Bellucci carried on well and stopped plenty of shots. In the second stanza Millbrook evened the score at 9:26 but not for long. Co-captain Billy May grabbed a free puck at mid-ice, circled the defense and cut the strings with a neat backhanded shot. Three minutes later it was May again who took a beautiful pass from center Frenchy Fleurant who had drawn out the goalie, and Bill slapped the rubber into the open net. Before the period ended Millbrook split the Cranwell defense and scored, but Cranwell still led 3-2. The Hne play of defenseman Bill Hickey and Bob DeBlois shone in this fracas and through their play many a Millbrook attack was thwarted. Tj FLEURANT MAY 14 39 'tml Page One hundred thzrty three Early in the third period Co-captain Frenchy Fleurant gathered up a free puck at his own blue line, after stickhandling through a bevy of Millbrook skaters, waited until their defenseman screened the goalie and then rifled a per- fect shot into the upper right hand corner of the nets. Here the Blue and Gold led 4-2. Millbrook scored again but with the fine play of the second line of Reynolds, Burns, and Healy and of spares George Flynn and Kelley they couldn't break the tie. If the Cranwell pucksters turn in many more stellar performances the Blue and Gold should have a fine season after this decisive 4-3 victory. CRANXVELL vs. BERKSHIRE The Blue and Gold pucksters suffered their first defeat of the season at the hands of an excellent Berkshire team on the fine ice of the Sheffiield rink. Berk- shire had the decided advantage with eight games to their credit and also with their own rink to play on. The first few minutes of the initial period was a standstill in scoring though Berkshire showed more class in skating and passing. The ice was so smooth and fast that the Cranwell boys fcllnd trouble organizing attack. Goalie Bill Cul- hane staved off many hard shots but atithe close of the periqd a cheap goal by Berkshire's Schopp slipped by the crease. The second period found Berkshire leading 1-O and ever pressing the attack. Cranwell's first line of Fleurant, May and Kelley almost combined for scores many times and once Bill May hit the post with a bullet-like shot but the agile goalie cleared it in time. During this period the Cranwell defense of Hickey and De Blois played far above their heads but the Green and Gray combined around them for two more tallies. The second period ended with Berkshire leading 3-O. The third period spelled Cranwell's doom although Cranwell's attack im- proved with the second line of Burns, Healy and Reynolds, it was not enough to cut the strings for a score. The team held together well considering this was only their second scrimmage of the year. The first line was tiring and Berkshire tallied three times. If Cranwell had had more practice and had Schopp not scored so frequently for the six Berkshire goals, the Blue and Gold might have shown the scoring that they are capable of. As it was, Berkshire dominated a 6-O victory and Cranwell must only take and wait-maybe next year the defeat will be Berkshire's.

Coach Tom Rooney had his eager candidates working out as soon as March 22nd. Coach Rooney is pleased with the material especially the two new additions to the club. First there is Jim Hamilton, hard-hitting out- fielder, star of Springfield Tech last year. Then comes Jim Del Grande, All-State shortstop from Searles High who earned a berth on the All-New England All- Stars. In the outfield we have Captain Jim Mahony, john O'Laughlin, Jim Hamilton and Tom 0,Brieng one of them will be a capable utility outfielder. With these boys a hard-hitting outheld is a certainty. In the infield we have John O'Neill blanketing first, Paul Printon covering second, jim Del Grande at shortg at third we hope to have Pete Gillespie, if his injured knee holds out. Bill Hickey seems destined to take over the catching chores. Cn the mound we see a lot of young ability coupled with the two seasoned veterans, Bill May and Jack Higgins. In the younger set Freshman George Flynn is a promising left-hander. The two Sullivan brothers, Marc Stevenson and Ed Fitzsimmons are developing fast. 3 l wig!

Tennis Though crippled by the loss of last year's regulars this season's court aspi- rants are hopeful for another hne season. With Father Gerard Bowman, SJ., as coach, the team ought to fare well in their big six-game schedule. The roster shows such talented opponents as Loomis, Kingswood, Berkshire, Darrow and La Salle Military Academy. The school tennis champion Artie Carr seems slated to take over the role as Cranwellls number one man and a very competent one at that. The other two singles players appear to be at present Rod O'Neil and Bob Mullane, both capable court tacticians and steady on all-around court play. john Tweddle and Bill Aldrich present themselves as a formidable doubles pair while young Gerry Quinn, Mike Craig, and Skip Couzens show lots of form and talent for this season as well as future seasons. Stalwart substitutes number in their ranks such promising performers as Bryant Iangmuir, Bill Healy, Jim Kay, Al Larson, Andy Shea and Francesco Farina. A typical Berkshire spring has limited practice sessions to a minimum and feverish preparations are being made for the Blue and Goldls first big match with the highly-rated Loomis team, . .

Drohan, SJ., reported on April 6, 1949, for practice. Along with Ray Murphy and Bill Hughes, performers of last year, are several new additions. Fr. Drohan sees future greats in Paul Printon, Charlie Murphy, Gil Vernet, Bobby Burns, Tom Meldon, and John Fraser. Promising stars among the undergraduates include Vin Kelley, Dennis Dwyer, and Bob Howard. Perhaps the boy who has shown the most improvement over last year is Bob Shea. Bob has developed a fluid swing, which produces mighty drives, and a deadly short game. Bob will be among the players this year feared most by op- ponents. His steady and cool play will assure him a berth on the Hrst flight. Daily practice sessions are held and each candidate is required to play nine holes or more and post his score. By this and an inter-squad tournament the top six players will be chosen to represent the school in competition. The opposition this year constitute such top-notch teams as Williston, Kingswood, and Sufheld. With matches against such superb teams as these, only with gruelling practice, constant play, and team spirit can we anticipate a season crowned with success. ,Q 'awed aff 9 'T'- if' Page One hundred thirty seven 'K In 4,3 ,, nw ff 'ikiiv ,W H-ww wig E mm wa Q' .
