Through tearful eyes we caught a vanishing glimpse of our departing parentsg we were on our own. Wfe had taken our first faltering steps over the threshold of the future. Cranwell was to be our home of the next four years. With the Hrst passing days the feeling of strange insecurity left us. We met those with whom we were to work and play, our professors and our companions to be. Everyone was more than friendly, and soon our new task had become rou- tine. The annual retreat served to strengthen us both spiritually and physically against the pitfalls and hardships of the coming year, and welded us more firmly into a common brotherhood. The first class days were hectic. Orientation proved XGVHRH 0 vfii Page T14 enty Hut -93 . f .4 6 . W l t B' W! .411 Q 'F 2' ' ' O Z , iW l !-'i so Eli e' 'flozxom

difficult, but we survived and settled down to fathom the Latin declensions and the ancient civilizations. The Autumn blessed us with Wonderful weather. We spent our afternoons exploring the nooks and cranies of the campus. Soon we felt ourselves old hands at the occurrences of the average Cranwell day. Our life was highlighted by the vivacious antics of Room 45. Mr. Grey, their prefect, later learned that such fracases were not uncommon. The third floor contributed its share to the general stock of amusements. On Sunday mornings we enjoyed free-for-alls between the Moslems and the Crusadersn. The turmoil usually ended in a lively pillow-fight until Fr. Moriarty came to the aid of his outnumbered Crusaders. Then a truce was called - until the following week-end. Mr. Shea supplied the impetus for the great Intramural Football rivalry. Each day teams clashed with all the vigor of collegiate gridders. The undefeated Rams captained by Jorge Cordova with John Comerford, Dick Cashman, Bry- ant Langmuir, Charlie Murphy and Jack Quinn, emerged victorious. Varsity Football was not without a Freshman representative. Peter Gillespie sparked the team with his admirable spirit. We might add in passing that our Freshman All-starsv defeated the invincible Sophomores two out of three games. When the Autumn had passed, we shifted into high gear. After Thanks- giving we felt that Cranwell just could not do without us. We had a part in everything, studies, sports, extracurricular activities and even Jug . We en- joyed nearly perfect participation in Intramural Basketball, even while lending some of our budding talent to the Varsity and Jayvees. Jorge Cordova and Jose Mendez, a south of the border combination, excelled on the hardwood court. Several more hardy souls braved the Berkshire cold to skim along the snowy slopes. Though our Christies were mediocre, we evidenced much promise at the Alpine sport. Every pleasure must end sometime. During January we added the terms Cramming and Blue Book to our growing vocabulary. The crisis of the Mid- year Examinations passed successfully and we began the second semester. The melting snows brought forth the Diamond enthusiasts. Much to Fr. Cunniff's perturbation, muddy foot prints marred the floors of St. Joseph's Hall. The racquet and golf fans treked to the clay courts and the fairways. In early May Parents, W'eek-End was in the limelight. Our mothers and fathers happily noted our maturity. We were well on the road to manhood. We were outstanding scholastically as well as athletically. Bill Coakley, Jorge Cordova and Bryant Langmuir were exempt from all exams with ninety averages. They left us a week early. The rest prepared for the final drive. It was with happiness and sorrow that we successfully completed this crucial year in our progress. Summer faded, and the first cool breezes of Autumn whispered welcome. Eagerly, we thrust shining keys into the locks of our new residence. Surveying Berchmans, now as upperclassmen, we breathed its rarified air in sophomoric splendor. There to greet us as only a corridor prefect can, stood our guardians- to-be, Fr. King, S. J., and Mr. Kennedy, hopefully reviewing the Old Boys and the newcomers. Among the latter appeared three denizens of the Empire State -Ed Considine, Elmira's pride and joy, and our impending President, Bill ui? XRHQ Page Tu enty-six , Q QL .1 A?
