The massive six- teenth century cathedral looked out upon a sea of one hundred thousand faces. They were waiting- waiting for the appearance of the man who four hundred years before trod those same palm-dotted slopes. Now he came-God's humble man-amid a procession of seven hundred priests, scores of bishops, and the Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon. From the Basi- lica of Bom Jesus through the hymn-singing throngs the procession accompanied the remarkably pre- served body of the Apostle of the Indies to the cathe- dral. There, in an open silver casket,yit was placed for public veneration. The day wasDecember 3, 1952, another page in the great epic of Francis Xavier. The work of man crumbles to dust. It is only the hand of God that can stay it from decay. That hand was in the work of St. Francis Xavier, so that his spirit still lives, and the seed he sawed ripens into eternal harvests. We of the Universal Church share in those harvests. Today we offer this humble tribute to the great Jesuit saint who four hundred years ago passed from this earth. XAVIER THE STUDENT We first see Francis, about 1526, as a man of twenty. That sudden gust, the Renaissance, had swept Spain and caught young Xavier up in its spirit. Am- bition stirred his soul. A great plan was forming in his mind-visions of a university professorship, of a comfortable ecclesiastical position at Pamplona. His plan began at the University of Paris. Only God knew how soon all that would change. For God foresaw greater things for Xavier. These greater things began in the farm of a limp- ing soldier, who arrived at the university leading a donkey laden with books. To Xavier fell the task of tutoring this man, Ignatius Loyola. Xavier the ath- lete, whose supple limbs could master the gymnastic dances of his Basque homeland, Xavier the student, whose mind was as facile as his body, met his match in a deliberate-thinking, limping soldier. Ignatius began with the little sword thrusts that cut away Francis' pride. What doth it profit a man, Francis, if he gain the whole world and lose his soul? No, it was not that Francis was too ambitious. He was not ambitious enough. The Basque nobleman was not made for mediocrity. Behind one great actor there is usually another. Such was Loyola to Xavier. Ignatius had himself recently experienced a spiritual reconversion and had written his Spiritual Exercises in retreat at the cave of Manresa. Because Francis was a man of remark- able will-power, he held out against Ignatius for years. But eventually the Great Lover caught up with him, and Francis, in giving in, gave himself com- pletely. Amid the cancerous moral decay of sixteenth century Paris, Ignatius found a diamond for God in Francis Xavier. I THE PRIEST OF GOD A warm summer day and a band of happy friends -fit was a day made for great undertakings. It was on this Assumption Day, 1534, that Xavier began hisgreatest undertaking--a new life. From the Uni- versity of Parisi-tothe little hill of Montmartre across theiSeine, journeyed sa group of seven, Ignatius and Franjcisyamong them. Their ,recentlytordained com- rade, Peterfaberr, saidf Mass, andfall pledged them- selves some observance of certain.vows.fThatAugust afternoon nourished the seeds thatfwere to blossom into the world-encompassing Society of Jesus. Francis was ordained ,shortly after, and spent a ,month preparing for his first Mass, anact that was typical-of his intense zeal. i'.,i- He went about on the continent preaching the Gospel. Everywhere people were won over by 'his irresistible charm and keen sin'cerity.qAt.thirty-two, his ceaseless, selfless labors had reduced him to a walking death-but one carry- ing the75ource of' all Life. I ,Xavier recovered, and when -the cry of souls went up from india and echoed across the seas to Portugal, he roseto follow. How often must he have recalled thetlast i.ii spoken words he was ever to hear from -Ignatius,-on ecirthi Go, and set all on fire ! Xavier did go, and in becoming God's..galIant conquistador, wancountlessisoulsi for Christ.. L I . I L xAviER THE MISSIONARY A Thetirst city, to fall was Goa.i'There Xavier set foot in 1542, carrying his own baggage. There lived the Portuguese officials and traderswho wore their Chris- tian faith 'as their painted gwomen wore their gaudy trinkets. No wonder the --natives' despised Christians! But it was not by denouncing these sinful men that Xavier began his mission, by giving himself to the service of lepers and criminals, by walking the streets ringing a bell to call the. people fta catechism. For the children he loved' Sowell' he putChristianity into rhyme. And when his love had borne fruit, he movedon. to the pearl tishersiaf-CapeIComorin. They were at -simplefolk,,whofmoved ,through aflifei filled withithe living nightmares offidevil and idol worship, inecroirnancyfand Hindu i,i' tgirs. Xavier rescued them from: their confused, woridjand brought the entire caste intoiifheiibosom ofthe Church. Xaviefsiilifetas a missionaryiwas one of love. What love lhe .bore for his Saviour! How he loved his co- religious, whose signatures, he wore, cut from their letters, over his heart along with a copy of his vows! Then there was the love of his little brothers and ' I CO QUISTADOR 1 iv fi. m , k - .ef if A W .Jig 9. .ss Q . .. , fs,,.m.M ..k, , .Q K 2 ii This beautiful statue of St. Francis Xavier was given recently in memory of Father Gabriel G. Ryan, S.J., late member of the Fairfield University faculty, by his family. Standing beside the statue are Rev. Francis Xavier Carty, S.J., Principal of Fairfield College-Preparatory School and Francis Xavier Mathews, Editor- in-Chief of the i953 HEARTH- STONE. sisters whom he might lead home to God. Sometimes, when he climbed a banyan tree to preach, five or six thousand people would throng about him. He would pour out his fire and love until his voice had left him, would baptize until he could no longer lift his arm. In one month alone he converted ten thou- sand people in Southern India. Xavier always considered Japan to be his land of promise. When he left, it was not to desert the Japanese, but to plan a new meth- od of attack. Seeing the Japanese reverence for all that was Chinese, he saw that he must storm China to win Japan. China, a whole new empire, beckoned him at the age of forty-six. He was a visionary with a truly great vision-a world for Christ. XAVIER THE SAINT It was on the island of Sancian, across the bay from forbidden China, that Francis awaited a river- man to ferry him to the mainland. When the fever struck him, his mind was still busy with plans. The Great Planner, however, had other designs. On December 3, 1552, his eyes gazing on a crucifix, Xavier died. The light of the Indies went to ioin the Source of all light. Xavier, the man, is dead. His body lies in the Basilica at Goa. But his restless spirit lives on in the thousands of religious who have risen to follow him, in the millions of Catholics in the Indies who live the faith he preached to their fathers, in us, the members of the Universal Church. The shadow of the Saint stretches across the far- reaching sands of the East. Francis X. Mathews Eclifor-in-Chief William T. Keavy Assistant Editor MW LITERARY STAFF Theodore D. Colangelo John F.

By James Quinn SENIOR YEAR Spiritually speaking our senior year was most profitable. It began on September llth with the traditional Mass of The Holy Spirit. From September 25th to November 6th the individual senior classes each made a closed retreat at Gonzaga Retreat House, Monroe, N. Y., under the direction of Fathers John Magan and Lloyd LaCombe, S.J. KSee pages 82- 83 for picturesl. Other spiritual activities included a Mass commemorating the 400th Anniversary of the death of St. Francis Xavier and another during Na- tional Education Week at which the Glee Club sang. On December 17th the class made a holy hour. Several vocational lectures and sodality projects were also on the spiritual agenda of the year. Looking at senior year from the cultural point of view, again it was not without accomplishment. As a result of the November elections Jerry Starratt be- came Senior President, Julius Gazdik, Vice-President, William Labrecque, Secretary and Art Pavluvcik, Treasurer. Charles Duarte, Louis Pannone, Jerry Stor- ratt, Joseph Samsel, Richard Thomson and Peter Die- mand were elected homeroom presidents. Robert Halapin, '54, was the winner of the upperclass ora- torical contest. The combined efforts of the Glee Club and the Dramatic Society resulted in o fine produc- tion of H.M.S. Pinafore. The debating team was un- usually active in inter-scholastic competition, in which Frank Mathews, Ronnie Gorton, George Gardiner and Richard Cox proved outstanding. The following Post-Graduate students were our classmates during senior year: Charles A. Antonelli of Stamford, Joseph A. Evangelist of Seymour, Wil- liam M. Flood of Bridgeport, Arthur W. Hannaway of East Haven, Nebi Hassan of Derby, John P. O'Shea of Waterbury, Anthony J. Bersutti of Ansonia and Judson J. Whitehead of Greenwich. The sponsoring of a victory dance after the Mil- ford Prep football game was something new in the annals of Prep. This, however, as well as the per- ennial social functions-the Football Hop, the Christ- mas and the Pre-Lenten dances were all a great suc- cess. The members of the football team, who won the district championship this year, were feted at the annual Father and Son banquet. Other accomplishments of the Prep athletic teams and the preparations for the Senior Prom and gradu- ation all lie too far in the future for comment in this book. However, we have tried to set down a few things at least, to serve as a framework upon which you may build your mansion of memories in the years to come. lt was truly spoken that what has been written in one language can be transposed only crudely into another , thus our words must falter in setting down in this book those words and deeds which have long since been written in our hearts.

SENIUR CLASS OFFICERS We are happy and proud to present here ROBERT JEROME STARRATT, President of the Senior Class.

Father Kennedy and Mr. James Hanrahan guided us in mathematics and Father Thomas Murphy in religion. Reverend Mr. Reddy, Mr. Yabrosky and Mr. Mahan were our mod- ern language instructors, while Father Fayne guided us in speech. Several members of 4A were leaders in extra- curricular activities. Chris Fox was Prefect of the Sodalityg Hugh Humphrey and Ronnie Gorton were Co-Editors of the B.Q., Barry Curran was President of the Radio Ployshop, and Fran Mathews was Editor of the 1953 Hearthstone, while Bill Keavy was Assist- ant Editor. The following 4A men received honor cards at least once for academic work: Messrs. Christopher, Curran, Duarte, Fazzone, Fox, Gorton, Henderson, Humphrey, Kaulbach, Keavy, Mathews, Popp, Poeg- gel and Worrell. The duties of class officers were capably adminis- tered by Chuck Duarte, President, Charlie Sant- angelo, Vice-President, Barry Curran, Secretary, and Bill Keavy, Treasurer. Senior A was the winner of the intramural cham- pionship in senior year in football. Two members of the class played varsity football, Charlie Santangelo and Chuck Duarte. Art Pavluvcik was captain of the basketball and baseball teams during the past year and Treasurer of the senior class. The members of the 1953 class of 4A wish to extend to all their teachers sincere thanks for their understanding of our problems and their sympathetic guidance in the solution of them.

Especially esteemed is its patient homeroom teacher, Rev. William W. Kennedy, S.J., who so nobly translated many a Latin idiom and solved the intricate problems of higher mathematics. Father Thomas Murphy taught us religion. English was learned by all through the strong efforts of Father Blatchford, and Speech was demonstrated by Father Fayne. The interesting mysteries of physics were revealed by Father Dutram, and Mr. Reddy led the class in its unique translations of German. Mr. Mahan taught some of us French. Once again the able Louis Pannone was elected to the office of Class President. Aiding him as Vice- President was John Galluzzo. Honest Gene Fischer again became Treasurer, and David Turchik Secre- tary. In extra-curricular activities the class of 4B was abundantly represented. Richard Cox was our quar- relsome debater. George Gardiner was elected Presi- dent of both the Camera Club and the school band. The French Club chose Richard Veltri as President. Loyally serving for the Athletic Association were Emil Martin, John Sailing, William Varnum and Richard Veltri. Our Hearthstone workers were Messrs. Gardi- ner, Jensen, Martin, Peck, Quinn, Turchik, and Veltri. Those who received honors for their scholastic work were Messrs. Card, Cox, Galluzzo, Gardiner, Jensen, Kirk, Martin, Morey, Peck, Quinn, Sherry, Turchik, and Veltri. Our sincere thanks to our Deans and to our teach- ers for their labors in our behalf. By Emil Martin SENIOR C As the sun sets and shadowy twilight creeps into our senior year, we, the members of 4-C, would like to express our gratitude to the teachers who labored so diligently and untiringly with us in this our senior year: Father Thomas Murphy in religion: Father Fayne in Latin, English, and speech, Father Dutram in phys- ics, Mr. Hanrahan in mathematics: Mr. Yabrosky in Spanish, and, of course, Father Ryan, who was our homeroom teacher prior to his illness in December. During the year Jerry Starratt served as class president, while the entire right side of the Prep line filled the remaining three elective offices: Julius Gaz- dik, vice-president, Bert Furgess, secretary, and Eddie Caliendo, treasurer. Two of the class officers, Jerry Starratt and Gus Gazdik, also did fine iobs in their positions as presi- dent and vice-president respectively of the senior class. Our intellectual bright lights who drew honors at least once during the first semester included: Barry, Gross, Gazdik, Larney, Serena, and Starratt. In addition to the four aforementioned football players, we contributed other athletes to the Red and White's usually winning cause. Lou Zuffa and Carl Giordano were two additional football players. Dick Noble performed well on the basketball team, Ron Grosso did a creditable iob at shortstop for the baseball squad, and Bob Skane established a few records running for the track team. As we approach graduation, there is probably sorrow in our hearts at the thought of leaving behind old friends and traditions. But we shall not leave the school entirely, for a part of it will always remain with us in our thoughts and our accomplishments. By Dennis Larney SENIOR C: First Row-J. Cosgrove, R. O'Mahony, F.

SENIOR D June is fast approaching and it is with both sadness and ioy that we make our last few iourneys to Prep. But before we deport we wish to thank all our teachers throughout our four years for their excellent help and guidance. We, the members of 4-D, es- pecially wish to thank all our senior teachers: Father Dutram, our homeroom teacher, who labored to teach the crowd the laws of physics, Father Ruddy who impressed upon us the true culture of Latin and English literatures, Father Kennedy who toiled with us in math, Father Thomas Murphy, our religion teacher, Father Fayne our instructor in speech, and last, but not least, Mr. Mahan who taught us La Parure. During this last year Joe Samsel held the office of class president while he was assisted ably by veep Walter Shanley. Al Virgil Prevost wrote the class notes and honest Norm Rousseau was elected treas- urer. We wish to congratulate the members of our room who have starred for Prep on the athletic field: Joe Samsel, Joe Fronko, Al Prevost, and Bob Jossick in football, Joe Samsel, Ed Brennan, and Dan Miko in basketball, and that stellar first baseman, Betz Beresnyak. 4-D is also proud of its eleven honor men, Edward Brennan, Robert LaBIanc, John Leeney, Richard Lisi, James Rourke, Norman Rousseau, Frank Rowan, Nicholas Serencha, Thomas King, James Kline, and Anthony Vallez. We wish to congratulate also the many men from our class who have worked on extra-curricular activi- ties such as Bill Labrecque, who was senior class sec- retary, and Ted Colangelo, the vice-president of the Camera Club, only to mention a few. By Norman Rousseau SENIOR E After four years at Prep we are reaching that goal, that end for which we have so long been striving. But is it an end? For many of us it is just the begin- ning,-the beginning of our college education, the beginning of our vocation in life, the beginning of our manhood. We, the members of 4E, want to thank the capable teachers who have guided us in the past and especially those who gave us our final prep- aration: Father Ruddy, who instructed us in Latin and English, Father Thomas Murphy, who explained the truths of our religion, Father Dutram, who expounded the laws of physics, Father Fayne, who gave us train- ing in speech, Mr. Yabrosky, who taught us math and Spanish, and finally Mr. Mahan, who was our guide in French. During the year our executive department was led by Dick Thomson, while Ray McDonnell took over in his absence. These men were ably assisted by Bob Tregger, who wrote the class notes, and Mike Trim- pert, who handled the revenue. The versatility ofthe class is manifested in two ways. First we have eight honor men who received awards during the year. They are: Mike Trimpert, Tom Kea- veny, Dick Renoff, Ron Soltis, Ray McDonnell, Bernard Pitz, Ronald Naves, and Dick Thomson, Secondly, on the field of athletics we have three men, Bernie Pitz in football, Dan Menilli in basketball, and Ron Soltis in track. ln addition to this, we have two men to be congratulated for their fine work in the scholar- ship department. They are Mike Trimpert, who re- ceived an appointment to the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, and Tom Keaveny, who won the NROTC scholarship and his choice of many col- leges.

SENIOR F As we come to the end of our final year at Fair- field Prep, we can look back on our four years with satisfaction and gratification. For this feeling we can thank Father Blatchford, who instructed us in Latin and English and who was our homeroom teacher, Father Thomas Murphy, who labored diligently to teach us religion and who helped us determine our vocations in life, Father Fayne, our speech instruc- tor, Rev. Mr. Grant, who helped us learn physics, Rev. Mr. Reddy, who taught us German, Mr. James Hanrahan, who instructed us in mathematics, assisted by Father William Kennedy, who taught us solid geometry in the second semester. The oflficers of the class were Pete Diemand, Presi- dent, Jack Tracey, Vice-President, Dan Philbin, Sec- retary, and Ken Catandella, Treasurer. Ken Catandella was our outstanding contribution to the Dramatic Society and the business staff of the Hearthstone. Pete Diemand was a member of the golf team and Gordon Willard of the tennis team. Tony Copertino and Andy Cretella were our dona- tions to the basketball team. Bob Guman was the leader of his own band and a member of the school orchestra. AI Karg wrote articles for the Bellarmine Quarterly and the Hearthstone. Honor men in studies were Messrs. Deer, Vickers, Philbin, Richardson, Diemand, Pinciaro, Fagan, Olen- der, Korg, and Visokay. The final prize and goal is near at hand and we wish to thank all who have in any way helped us to accomplish this obiective, especially our understand- ing teachers and parents.

Its principal aim is to foster a , R 1 uw deeper love of Mary in its members, while it is ever ' ' mindful of the spiritual needs of all the students. wi' Perhaps the greatest spiritual experience in the lives of the seniors took place at the Gonzaga Re- , treat House in Monroe, New York, this year.

The Sodality sponsored a most inspiring Vocational Week this past March. Displays from forty-five relig- ious orders were exhibited in Berchmans Auditorium as a means of fostering vocations among Prep stu- dents. School projects, such as the Knights of the Blessed Sacrament and the generous student support of the Jesuit Foreign Missions, were conducted very successfully during the year. Sodality officers were appointed early in the year by the moderator. Christopher Fox served as Prefect, while Donald Turlick and Barry Curran acted as Treasurer and Secretary. The various committees, in- cluding the Apostolic, Marian, Eucharistic and Pub- licity Committees, were headed by Daniel Jensen, Hugh Humphrey, Francis Mathews and David Turchik.

Remember-this section has to be ready to give to the printer soon, so work hard during the week! Such was the familiar cry of THE HEARTHSTONE'S moderator, Father Joseph Murphy. The staff did work hard-putting out a good yearbook requires a lot of hard work. It means planning the book, it means getting the pictures, it means getting stories and facts about people and places, it means getting material written and in the printer's hands on time, it means that every member of the staff must give of his time to participate in the unity and teamwork which are necessary for the production of a good yearbook. Early in the year, the members of the Literary Staff elected Fran Mathews to the post of Editor-in- Chief, and Bill Keavy Assistant Editor. George Gard- iner was appointed Photographic Editor. Then the assignments were given out: the write-ups, the diary, the theme, the various school activities and sports, pictures had to be taken, pages had to be planned, proofs had to be read, and many other small chores had to be done. While all this was going on, the Business Staff, under the guidance of Rev. Mr. Reddy, was keeping itself busy collecting the money and getting the ads which would help to pay for the book. The theme of our yearbook is the anniversary of the death of Saint Francis Xaxier, the great Jesuit priest. He died iust 400 years ago, in 1552. This year's HEARTHSTONE has been dedicated to Very Rev. Joseph D. FitzGerald, S.J., the Rector of Fair- field University. A feature of the book is the initia- tion of color on sixteen of the pages. Another novelty this year was the presence of several members of Rev. Mr. Reddy and staff members tally subscriptions the Junior Class on the staff to gain experience for next year. The senior section of THE HEARTHSTONE was in the printer's hands shortly after the New Year. The activities and sports followed a month or so later. By the time March rolled around, when the ads and incidental pages were in, we were able to sit back and relax, while waiting for the fruits of our labor to be harvested. Actually, we had a lot of fun working together on this proiect. Many years from now we will thumb rf Consultants for the printer, Mr. Daviadott and Mr. Mc- Guire, work with the staff.

For its eleventh year the B.Q. has published some Hne writings-stories, poems, essays, news articles-penned by Prep men. Each of the thirty-six staff members contributed, each of the staff members was responsible for his part in the magazine, each deserves a share of any laudatory comments the B.Q. receives. To the merely casual reader, the 1952-53 B.Q. appeared dressed in a colorful iacket with an original format and content, providing a medium for the writing talents of Prep's students and for a cover- age of Prep's activities. Behind each issue of the B.Q., however, there is a tremendous, though rarely appreciated, task to be performed-from the handing out of the first assignments to the last proofing of the pages. Double toil and trouble, said Shakespeare, and it is iust that. Stepping closer for a look at the Prep men who make each issue of the B.Q., the reader found at the top of the staff page the names of the co-editors, Ronald Gorton and Hugh Humphrey. Under the supervision of Father Bernard Murphy, SJ., and his assistant, Rev. Mr. Richard Twomey, SJ., these two shared the responsibility for the publication of each issue. Examination of the B.Q. by a scrutinous eye found the sparkling writings of Francis Mathews, who is distinguished, moreover, by his four year record as a staff member, the sometimes humorous, always thoughtful polls conducted by Daniel Jensen, the well-done Exchange column of James Rourke, also a story contributor, the fine articles of Norman Rousseau, and Martin Reidy's coverage of the Prep world of sport. George Gardiner and Theodore Colangelo illustrated many a story and page with their photos. Financing the B.Q. was a big iob, ably performed by the adver- tising staff, and sparked by the enthusiasm of Gordon Willard, the manager. Joseph Callahan, manager of the business staff, kept the books and contracts and wrote up the ads for each issue. The 1952-53 staff published four issues as full of quality as any of the previous two years' publications, which were awarded the First Place rating in its division of 750 to 1,000 enrollment by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. The B.Q. has also received the All-Catholic award in the same two years from the Catholic Scholastic Press Association. This year's members leave a rich legacy to their successors and wish that they and B.Q. staffs in the future will enioy all possible success. By Hugh Humphrey 86 B. Q. Literary Staff: Seated-W.

Fox, TH E DRA On the nights of May 2nd and 3rd, 1952, the Players of Fairfield Prep presented Arsenic And Old Lace, a comedy written by Joseph Kesserling. Since the T952 HEARTHSTONE had gone to press long be- fore this time, we take this opportunity to report the production of last season. The production set three precedents. It was the first play to be shown here on the Prep campus, since all other productions of maior importance had been staged at the Klein Memorial Auditorium in Bridgeport. Secondly, it was the only production for which a set had been designed especially for the Prep stage. This play established a third precedent in being the first Prep play to have run for two nights. and The play was well received by a very enthusiastic audience. At the time this book went to press Clate Februaryi, preparations were well under way on the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta H.M.S. Pinafore. The Dramatic So- ciety and the Prep Glee Club, which sang at several football rallies and Bellarmine Guild meetings, were being combined in this ambitious effort under the direction of Rev. Mr. Kiley and Mr. George Thomas, Prep '48. Mr. Thomas had a leading role in the Dra- matic Society production of T948, and is now a member of the faculty. Members of the Class of T953 who have leading roles in the current production are Frederick Poeggel, C. Duarte, Rev. Mr. Kiley, K. Catandella, F. 'l-.af . A . . f . Q, , . H is ,M MA TIC SOCIETY J m Mr. Raymond O'Hara of the lay faculty and Rev. Mr. Kiley directed the play with admirable skill, while the business details were ably handled by Rev. Mr. Carr. Principal roles were played by the following mem- bers of the Class of 1953: Thomas Keaveny, Ronald Gorton, Jerome Peeler and Kenneth Catandella. We should also mention the fine performance of Robert Davidson, Walter Young, Thaddeus Figlock, Philip Goscienski, William Mottolese, Charles Jensen and Arthur Conway of the Class of l952, and of Peter Suto and Michael Catalano of the present Junior Class. GLEE CL Charles Duarte, Kenneth Catandella and Gerald Fox. To this list ot principal characters we should add the name of Peter Suto, '54. Other bits of information: Rev. Mr. Grant will act as Business Moderator ofthe play, Fr. Thomas Murphy will be the pianist, Al Prevost will again act as stage manager, Ronald Gorton is assisting in the directing of the choral stage action and Mr. Raymond O'Hara in the directing of the leading characters.

For the year 1952-53, the Junior-Senior Debating Society received two moderators, a new name, and a new subiect to discuss. Originally under the guid- ance of Fr. J. Joseph Ryan, until illness forced him to withdraw, the society received a new moderator in January, Rev. Mr. Albert Reddy. The debaters were regretful at losing so fine a moderator as Fr. Ryan, but were confident of excellent guidance by Mr. Reddy. Although known for some time as the Junior-Sen- ior Debating Society, this year a new name was chosen, The Chrysostom Debating Society, in honor of St. John Chrysostom. The subject for the year was the topic, Resolved: That the Atlantic Pact Nations Should Form a Federal Union. Into a heavy and quite successful schedule have gone several debates with Lauralton Hall, Mother of God Academy, Stratford High, and out of town to Stamford High, St. Peter's Prep in New Jersey, and Boston College High. Tournaments, also, are on the list at Fordham and in Storrs, Connecticut. Among the seniors who have been active members Lauralton Hall debate in 1951: Seated-Anne Higgins, Frances Krivoruchka, Phyllis Westerling and Eileen Kenney of the Mary Ellen Fitzgerald and Francis Mathews.

FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE DEBATING Innovation has entered the lower class ranks, too, as the sophomore and freshman societies were con- solidated this year, under the direction of Rev. Mr. Dewing. The large membershipprovided a great stimulus as the club met regularly to discuss issues of local or international importance. Special coaching was also provided by Mr. Dewing in the art of becoming a good debater. Members of the group were looking forward eagerly to the final outcome of the Prize Debate, scheduled for March. From this group will come Prep's future debating champions.

MER CL t1Q 'Xi Fr langguth announces the winners. The Prep Camera Club finished another successful year under the able guidance of Rev. Mr. O'Toole. During the fall term each bimonthly meeting was marked by a small contest for which a special sub- iect area was chosen at each meeting. One large, open contest, for which everyone in the school was eligible, closed the semester. Then, for the second semester, emphasis was laid upon lectures, such as the lecture given by Joseph Stumpf on the control of Some of the members develop pictures nn the darllroom. graininess, and another on the use of filters delivered by Joseph Brown. From the instructions in developing and printing, given by Ronny Soltis and Ted Colan- gelo, the less-experienced members received the help they needed to improve their photos. ln addition, each member had the chance to show his skill in snapping pictures during the group field trips that were planned.

SCIENCE CLUB Second semester witnessed the founding of a new Prep organization: the Science club. This Club seems to fill a long-felt need of Prep students, many of whom ambition a career in either theoretical or prac- tical science, like research or engineering. It proposes to assist these students in choosing the precise pro- fession to which to aspire by familiarizing them with both the scholastic preparation required and the na- ture of the professional work after graduation from college. Lectures by professional men, student sym- posia, and private study help to realize this aim of the Club. ' I The Science Club also endeavors to give the mem- bers assistance in selecting the college best suited to their career and to their financial means. One of the Club's first proiects was a tour of the science depart- ments of Fordham University and the enginering de- partments of Manhattan College. Prep's Science Club is affiliated with the Science Clubs of America, and will participate with other clubs all over the nation in Science Fairs and Talent Searches. The initial officers were Henry Olender lPresidentJ, Walter Fitzgerald Nice-Presidentlp Ron- ald Soltis lSecretaryJ and William Fisher CTreasurerl. Rev. Mr. O'Toole was moderator.

The effects of this change were amazing. When the band appeared on the football field in their red and blue uniforms at one of the early football rallies, it was enthusiastically re- ceived and supported by the student body. Part of the credit for the football team's successful season was due to the spirit inspired by the band. This good appearance did not come about with- out a great deal of hard work on the part of Fr. Carty and Rev. Mr. Reddy, S.J., the director Mr. Fred Bayers, and the members of the band itself. The concert band is well deserving of our praise and our thanks for the effort they have put into the long rehearsals, which were imperative to reach the suc- cess the band has attained this past season.

There are many sports played in every high school athletic program. Fewf however, are as popular and well supported as football. This spirit for football is increased two- fold when a school has an All-District Championship Team, as Fairfield Prep had this past season. Capturing this title was not easy considering the fact that only the most powerful teams in the district were willing to play us. To complete our schedule, we were forced to invite five other teams from various parts of Connecticut and New York. Most of the credit must be given to the fine coaching staff. To Mr. Seymour, an ex- Boston College player, who in his first year as coach has clone a fine iob, and to Mr. Yabrosky, who molded together one of the strongest high school lines in the state, are due the thanks of the Prep. Of course, they had to have the material to work with. Truly, Fairfield Prep had iust the right boys for that. The two co-captains, Jerry Starratt and Joe Samsel, are deserving of our praise for leading the team to a victorious sea- son. They had behind them a team of hard workers, four of whom were on the All- District Scholastic Team.

Bert Furgess saved Prep, when Notre Dame was again threatening to score, by intercepting a pass on our goal line. The Prepsters obtained their winning margin when a Notre Dame runner was brought down in his end-zone by Ed Caliendo and Mike Forte, both of whom played a great defensive game. Prep was dealt its first defeat of the season by the strong Mount Saint Michael's team at their meeting in the Bronx. The Prep team fought hard, but a few interceptions and fumbles caused the Mount team to score the first touchdown. There was a constant battle from this point on by both teams. This con- tinued for the next three quarters. But in the final minutes of the fourth quarter the Prepsters' defence collapsed. With the tiring of our best players, St. Michael's scores their last two touchdowns. This battle was, however, much more closely fought than the 'I8 to 0 score indicates. The game that made the boys the happiest was the annual night game with Harding High at Hedges Memorial Stadium in Bridgeport. This 45 to 18 vic- tory over Harding annexed the All-District Champion- ship for us. The Prepsters entered this game minus the services of Charles Santangelo, who broke his collar bone in a pre-game scrimmage. Ringel and Starratt clicked for a net gain of 311 yards on the ground and 57 yards in the air. Harding scored the first touchdown, but this only goaded us into scoring. After a 65-yard drive Prep tied the score. We then tallied twenty points before the half. In the second period Jack Ringel scored two touchdowns. Jerry Starratt received the honor for the following T.D., when he went around his own end after an intercep- tion by Jay Dolan gave us possession of the ball. ln the second half Prep scored four times, three times by Jack Ringel. The fourth was scored by the Prep center, Bert Furgess, when he intercepted a pass and J. Starratt scores against Stamford. How? Notice the marking and the opposition. went all the way to pay dirt. The extra points were kicked by Al Prevost. Harding scored their last two tallies when Coach Seymour sent our subs into the game. Our next game was slated with St. Johns Prep of Brooklyn at our Alumni Field. Many were worried about our chances of winning, for the St. John's team had the reputation of being one of the best teams in New York. They were defeated only by Cardinal Hayes High. As it turned out, however, we piled up a score of 31 points before St. John's be- gan to roll. Fairfield Prep traveled 56 yards for its first score. A 32-yard pass from Ringel to Forte and a 22-yard run by Jerry Starratt featured Prep's 75- yard drive, climaxed by Ringel's score. Later Joe Samsel, in a flat handoff, went all the way. In the second half Starratt recovered a fumble and on the next play Ringel went over for the score. Soon, after an interception and runback by the Fairfield boys, Jack Ringel scored the last touchdown. St. John's was able to break through our defences for two touch- downs. The final score was 31 to 14. A week later we met, on our own field, Milford Prep. The game ended in a throttling of Milford 43 to 0. The main feature of the contest was the relent- less rain. However, this did not hinder Jack Ringel. He scored twice in the game, once on a 49-yard race around end and the other after John Makarczyk recovered a Milford fumble. Ringel's pass to Makar- czyk in the second half accounted for another tally, and portrayed Ringel's throwing skill. Dolan inter- cepted a pass and ran 55 yards until he was over the goal. Starratt also made a 46-yard run for a touch- down. The next touchdown was made by little Donald Dew, when he broke away and ran 55-yards to the end-zone. Halfback Jim Ryan made a spectacular run of 94 yards for the last Prep tally of the game. The extra points wer ekicked by Charlie Duarte, first string guard. . f . .X A. -s 35.3. .

The last, long-awaited game of the season with Stamford at Boyle Stadium, Thanksgiving Day, was our greatest heartbreak. We were truly at the peak after two weeks of preparation for the game. Our fumbles helped Stamford greatly. The score was T3 all at the half, after Ringel and Starratt each had scored one and Prevost kicked one good one. Some- 'I952 J.V.

After weeks of practice under the tutelage of their new and zealous coach, Mr. George Bisacca, Prep '46, the team had developed into a fine-working basketball machine. ln their debut the Prepsters showed mid-season form by defeating a star-studded alumni team 53-42 with Captain Art Pavluvcik leading the way with 21 points. Despite this impressive victory, the Prep team was considerably weakened by the ankle injury of Don Miko, which sidelined him for tive weeks. This was the first in a series of bad breaks which plagued the Prep cagers all season long. ln the second game, minus the services of Miko, the Prep hoopmen were defeated by Bullard-Havens by a 54-45 score despite the efforts of Joe Samsel and Art Pavluvcik who scored 12 and 9 points re- spectively. During this tilt the Fairfield team was again weakened as the result' of a broken hand which Martin received, an iniury which would keep VARSITY SQUAD First Row Samsel Brennan Pa luvctk lCaptoinD, Miko, Noble, Copertino.

The Prep cagers then won their second victory in three starts by trouncing Stamford 56-43 at the Knights of Columbus Hall, with the keen-eyed Pavlu- vcik finding the range for 16 points followed by Dick Noble with 14 and Vin Martin with 13. The Bisaccamen split the next two encounters. We lost to the great Stratford High team 56-49 with Art Pavluvcik U71 and Bob Brennan C161 hitting double figures for Prep. In the second game, led by the am- bidextrous Bob Brennan and their brilliant captain, Art Pavluvcik, who garnered 17 and 11 points re- spectively, the Prepsters rolled over Staples 45-33. Breaking the old record of 70 points in a single game, the Prep cagers romped over Milford Prep 71-36. Brennan and Pavluvcik shared scoring honors with 15 points each, while Dan Miko, playing his first game since his injury, contributed 12 points to the one-sided triumph. After leading all the way Prep lost a thriller to Roger Ludlowe 52-49. Noble and Pavluvcik were the ring-leaders in scoring for the Red and White with 12 points each. Dan Miko also hit double figures with ten points. Leading from the opening whistle, the Prep cagers turned back Hopkins School of New Haven 63-48 to rack up their fifth win in eight starts. Pavluvcik and Miko were the scoring kingpins for Fairfield with 19 points each, followed by Brennan who hit the hoops for 12 tallies. Notre Dame High school of West Haven nipped Prep 46-44 in a close battle, rallying in the final period after Capt. Art Pavluvcik was forced to leave the game with an injured ankle.

Brennan and Miko also hit double figures with 16 and 10 points respectively. Despite high-scoring Pavluvcik's loss, the Fairfield hoopmen won a return match with Bullard-Havens by holding Joe Colello, the district's top scorer, to 13 points. Dan Miko, who garnered 18 points, and Dick Noble, who registered 16, were the standouts in giving Prep its sixth win in ten starts. Harding High, one of the district's top teams, by hitting on seventy percent of their foul shots, subdued our Fairfield lads by a 67-52 score. Bob Brennan led all scorers by racking up twenty-one points. A third period scoring surge by the Fairfield Uni- versity Freshmen enabled them to beat Prep 56-38 and to remain undefeated. Dan Miko and Vin Mar- tin were our big guns with eleven and eight points respectively. This was Vin's first appearance since his injury back in December. Then followed a second defeat by Notre Dame High by a 55-43 score. Art Pavluvcik returned to the active list and shared scor- ing honors with Bob Brennan Celeven points eachj. Coach Bisacca then played the substitutes in the sec- ond Stamford game, which we lost by a 61-48 score. Ronnie Liptak scored seventeen points. A sophomore- dominated Prep team then beat Staples High 44-31. We ended the season with an important game with high-geared Stratford High, and beat them in an upset 57-51. Art Pavluvcik was the star of the game and high scorer with 15 points. The J.V.'s and fresh- men also won to make it a clean sweep against Strat- ford.

The T952 track team proved to be the second most victorious in Prep's history. Winning four of our meets while suffering three setbacks, Prep maintained a bet- ter than .500 average for the second season in a row. ln our first meet Prep rolled over Milford High with Tom Hickey 1440 yard runj, Dan Miko fPole vaulti, Gene Pulaski fDiscusJ, Jack Barnwell Uavelini, and Julius Gazdik fShot Putj each taking home a first place, while Bob Skane registered two wins in the mile and the half-mile. In our second meet we invaded Stamford and with revenge in our eyes we sought to defeat the 1951 State Champions. That afternoon we won only two and a half first places, with Hickey, Barnwell, and Miko ftieb showing the way, but nevertheless we managed to stay within three points of the lead until the last event, the all-important relay race. Then Izzarelli, Holahan, Starratt and Hickey came through with the chips down to win the race and the meet. In our next two meets we were defeated by a powerful Harding squad and by Greenwich, although we came back to trounce Stratford and Staples on our own field. In our last meet of the season we suf- fered defeat at the hands of Roger Ludlowe. Through- out all of these meets, .lerry Starratt KHalf-Milei, Bob Skane lMileJ, Dan Miko, Tom Hickey, Jack Barnwell, Julius Gazdik, Gene Pulaski, John Card fHigh Jumpi, Ed Holahan CHalf Milej, Art Pavluvcik fHigh Jump and Pole Vaultl and Dick Noble fBroad Jumpi con- tinued to star as they went on winning first places. Outstanding performances were turned in on May 24th, 1952, in Fairfield University's first annual Invi- tational High School Track Meet, by Dan Miko as he took first place in the pole vault, by Dick Noble as he won the broad iump, and by John Card as he captured first place in the high iump. These are iust a sample of the bigger and better things that are to be expected of the T953 track team. By Norman Rousseau Bob Skane doesn't seem worried in the left picture.
