{ Till! finniiir Class nf SI prnsnnts t A M K I N 1951 J'tfidkam. (pMpWtah?uf SdwoL New York City DEDICATED 142 years nf teaching at Fanlliain Preti To the six Catholic gentlemen who have contributed so much to our four years at Fordham. They have given us an education we could never acquire by merely reading textbooks or by doing our daily assignments. For through their classroom instruction and by their personal example they have shown us the ideal of a richer Catholic life and have enkindled in our hearts a deeper love and respect for God. To you six men, whom Fordham University has honored with the Bene Merenti medal for twenty years of meritorious service,’’ our yearbook is humbly dedicated, that we might in some small way express our deep gratitude and appreciation for all that you have done for us. 5 jotcLkaniA ’J’uunuv? 4 THE FORDHAM CAMPUS in September, December ami May 1 :m : -K..L ■ December scene of Edwards Parade, fC- v A corner of die Prep on the right.

Maybe that's because its our yearbook, Len, but I feel the same way about it. By the way, will you write the Senior history? Sure, but what kind of a write-up should it be?

We discarded Caesar books for Ciceros, the angles of a triangle for its sines and cosines; French and German began. We hoped that life would be different now, for in our own little way we were in the aristocratic half of the student body. Although we did not enjoy the prestige of be- ing seniors, we felt that we had learned the 48 ways of life at the Prep. As Juniors we could play a more impressive role in varsity sports and school activities.

The Romans believed in two worlds, an up- per world or land of the living and a lower world, where the dead souls dwell. As we leave Sophomore year behind and prepare to ascend to the loftier world of Upperclassmen, we look forward to spending the next two years in the land of good living.

To next year’s Sophomore we leave the wish that their second year at Fordham will be as happy and fruitful as ours was, and the hope that they enjoy it as much as we did. To them we leave the Faculty, the work and the laughter that made it such a fine experience. Having thus disposed of much of our lower- worldly possessions, we prepare to pass on to the more lordly state of Upperclassmen. w L Valentine, 3- T LcWis, Mr- M ur°’ Cordes, P. .

Under the guidance of Father LaBau, S.J., the moderator, two separate Sodalities have been initiated: the Gonzaga for third and fourth years, and the Bcrchmans for first and second years. The Committee system has been embodied in the twin Sodality program. Members of the Catechetical Committee travel to Harlem each week to instruct youngsters in the foundations of Catholicism. The Dance Committee's work was well compensated when both square dances proved remarkable successes.

Senior Retreat With the guidance of Fr. Justin McCarthy, S.J., the three days of the Senior Retreat were happy and memorable; they were days which brought us closer to God. To find one's bear- ings in this haphazard world, to set one's sights higher than that world would like or think possible, to find deep conviction and real peace—which that world cannot give or take away—that is a precious gift of God, and the culmination of our spiritual opportunities and training at the Prep.

Its initial appear- ance on WFUV was a polished presentation of Dr. Manette's Manu- script , and the subsequent productions have earned the praise of the director and members of the Fordham University Radio Staff. The Prop hits the air-waves. William Shakespeare wrote a play about a shrew, her father and her lover. He then forgot about it, but the world didn't.

Scton Hall capitalized on poor team play in the first half and placed two quick T.D.’s on the scoreboard. In the second half Don Cruciani and Jim Griffin scored and Jack Garrity got the extra point, making the final score 14-13, Prep on the short end. Good blocking and Griffin breaks into the dear. 87 Mr. Lou Mauro, Head Coach. FORDHAM PREP 13 BROOKLYN PREP 25 Two weeks later the Prep again went on the road to play Brooklyn Prep in the rain. In the first quarter the Prep played dismal football, losing the ball twice on fumbles; Brooklyn converted both into touchdowns. Again Fordham dominated the play in the second half but never overcame that two touchdown lead. Final score was 25-13, with the Prep on the short end. Co-captains Carroll and McLoughlin await the toss at the Queen of Peace game. FORDHAM PREP 0 CLINTON, MASS. 39 This game w-as part of the town of Clinton's celebration of its 100 anniversay, and the Prep enjoyed the old-fashioned New England hospitality during their stay. Little can be said for the game. The Prep played poor football, threatening to score only once. Clinton, able to put eleven sprinters on the field at once, scored easily, making the final 39-0. FORDHAM PREP 25 ST. LUKES 7 Ten days later the Prep came home, conquered heroes, to play their first game at home meeting St. Luke’s on a sun-swept field. On home ground the Prep showed the spark of victory and rolled unhampered over the weak and undermanned St. Luke’s team. St. Luke's scored their one T.D., when four Fordham players tackled a helmet and the ball carrier scampered for a score. Final score, Prep 25, St. Luke's 7. J. Carroll stopped by two Queen of Peace tacklcrs. Four Cadets converge on Griffin. FORDHAM PREP 13 QUEEN OF PEACE 19 The Prep met Queen of Peace in its second home game and played the most exciting game of the season. The lead seesawed back and forth throughout the game. Play was sharp and precise. In the last twenty seconds of play a Queen of Peace back whizzed over the last chalk line to score the winning points. The Prep lost a very good game, 19-13. FORDHAM PREP 7 ST. MICHAELS 0 On the following Sunday the Prep journeyed to Union City to meet St. Michael's in what turned out to be a rough game. Jim Griffin accounted for the only score on a 95 yard return of an inter- cepted pass. Final: Prep 7, St. Michael’s 0. Flynn breaks through for a first down. FORDHAM PREP 0 MAMARONECK 40 Prep, again on the road, was crushed by a fast and exactly-drilled Mamaroneck aggregation. Ma- maroneck scored at will on wide end sweeps and rolled to a 40 to 0 victory, and an unbeaten season. Touchdown against Xavier. Mr. Dick McCaffrey, Assistant Coach. FORDHAM PREP 6 XAVIER 60 In the final game the Prep played its traditional Thanksgiving Day rival from 16th Street.

SWIMMING With a virtual five year victory record behind them, the Mermen plunged into the waters this year beside swimmers from such schools as Cardinal Hayes, Brooklyn Prep and St. John’s. Backstrokers Jack Hartigan and Len Rambusch made a habit of reaching the finish line first, while breaststrokers John Tomicki and Jack Callahan added many a point to our win- ning tallies. The veteran diver Kevin Scherzinger, and his new disciple, Harry Madigan, pulled us way out in front many times. And, of course, the freestylers like Steve Connolly, Con Kohrs, Dick Brito, Bill Buysse, Brian Dillon, Burnie Strip- ling and Terry McGrath played a great part in putting the Prep in the win col- umn meet after meet. 94 Two star freest ycrs, Kohrs and Dillon. Our string of wins came to an end with the memo- rable engagement against Bishop Loughlin. There were many outstanding performances dur- ing the season; Kev Scherzinger took first place in the CHSAA Senior Championship and third in the Private School Championship. Equally prominent were the exhibitions o f Len Rambusch capping third place in the Privates, and of Burnic Stripling taking the same in the Senior Championship. Nor can Brian Dillon be forgotten for his eight out of nine wins in dual meets. Coach I.yttle and his winning team deserve the praise of the Prep; even though we are losing many first stringers this year, a powerful core remains to bolster high hopes for next season.

Jimmy Prior and Don Cameron were steady assets; the team ended with three wins and three losses and a second place in the Jesuit Championship Meet. TRACK Captain Jack Dunn, Bob Roche and Skippy Manion were the main sparkplugs of the indoor season. January twentieth was a big day for Coach Fox and for Fordham Prep, for it ushered in the Fordham Prep Relays . The relays, which attracted fifteen schools to Rose Hill, will be an annual event. The Prep really set the mark for its com- petitors by a final victory of twenty-six and a half points. The Prcpstcrs turned their trophy over to Brooklyn Prep, the runner-up. The Junior Midget team made a name for itself the day it capped second place in the Bronx-Manhattan-Westchester Meet. Ed Wheeler took first place in the junior half-mile, and Jack Sheehan broke the record in the Junior 220. The final honors of the season were carried off by the Junior Midgets in the City Championships at the Garden. The sub-midgets, Hand, Ward, Scanlon and Pirrone took first place, Joe Popp took second in the Junior shot-put and Griffith second in the high jump. That night the Senior Six-Lap Relay (Toland, Dunn, Manion and Noll) broke the school record and took second place behind Power Memorial. The team and Prep in general realize that the victories and successes of this season are largely due to the interest, work and inspiration of Coach Fox. Popp goes the shot. The Midgets: S. Jesselson, Carozza, Iachetta and J. McGrath. Jerry Healy, star second base- man. Calling the pilches, Gerry Canavan. Mr. John Hebron, who took over the coaching reins at the Prep this season, greeted the prospective team with high hopes. The return of last year’s veterans, together with many newcomers from the Junior Varsity, helped to confirm these hopes. As the season got under way, any- one who frequented the ball field saw Coach Hebron mould his hope- ful players into a fine starting nine. This Spring saw Vin Reardon re- turn to the outfield where he put in a fine season. Jim Hewitt, also a veteran of last year, took his stand again at first base and played his Front row, left to right: Garrity. Hunt, Rucci, Koehler. Second row: Fey, Durso, V.

With this veteran infield tighten- ing the inner defense. Coach Heb- ron, who stressed the importance of good pitching in high school ball, sent Lefty Joe Kirsch to the mound. Kirsch, who was also a starter last year, was backed up on the mound by newcomers Fred Walker and Bill Nickel. And on the receiving end were Al Cornachio and Jerry Canavan behind the mask.
