Welcome To Our World ' I a m kl n 7 Edward Bonanno Editor-In-Chief Wish you were here . . . only the beginning and having a wonderful time. time will be memory. a year raced by, a rollercoaster full of good things, i grasped each precious moment, wrapped like some priceless gift from a friend. experiencing the sea, a feeling of mastering the ocean, sliding down the faces of waves, over and over yet never the same. stretching on warm soft sand. the Year passing into memory, crying and laughing, pausing and running, summer will turn to wihter and spring to fall. brian corcoran '76 I can only watch the length of days grow until I am made to understand that miles are not the soul dividers. Thoughts of time and years filled a million bubbles that we blew into air - they caught the sunlight and held within the light and beauty of days. I saw them, suspended above us. I hoped for a V wind that could hold them in the sky . . . keep them together and strong, stop them from falling and breaking. But the light in the bubbles started to fade as they floated to the ground, breaking moment after moment. The beauty broke and fell dying in wet spots. A world cannot be shattered by this. Life must hold so much more than old loves. Love of life is in each unanswered day. Some day I find bubbles so strong that they cannot be broken on windless days - with nothing holding them but my strength, as they hold me by being strong. Now the uneven pieces must come together to catch the light and beauty in the days of learning and growing. Geoff Dayis '76 ,M Huxwng! m PL ... .- I r. , , . s A . .. gal... .

And I have to wonder Wall the tape give me a reason to run, Or wilI my mind go blank and turn up none? The last step over the finish line, Gives me a chance to find out mine. And I have to wonder.

Our Trustees, a group of lay and religious men and women, from the fields of education, the professions and business, assumed their responsibility for the Prep in 1970 when we separated from Fordham Uni- Rev. Daniel J. Fitzpatrick, S.Ji Revi Eugene J, O'Brien, SJ VerSitY- The Trustees have shouldered the burden of building our new school and seeing us through serious financial problems, while preserving our com- mitment to quality education. They have been the rock on which Fordham Prep stands; their generosity and ser- vice challenge us to fulfill their hopes for Fordham Prep. Mr, Gerald C. McNamara, '41 Mrs. Theodore Okon Mr. James J.

Dr, William G Sharwell Rev William T Wood, S J '34 Lawrence X Cusack ESQ Corporation Attorney I'J 'J'l As Headmaster for the past fifteen years, Father O'Brien has gained an unparallelled inSight into the essence of Fordham Prep, that IS, its community. He has encouraged the development of an innovative educational pro- gram, which we know as the FORDHAM PREP PLAN, but in- sists that the school's fundamen- tal asset is the close relationship between students and faculty. This factor, he believes, forms the motivation of the entire plan. Leaving the office of Headmas- ter to Dr. BouiHette, Father O'Bri- en now dedicates himself to the full-time responsibilities of Presi- dent. With a deep abiding faith in the nature and destiny of the Prep, he has tackled the financial problems of the school. The demands of his office may limit his time for direct contact with the students, but their edu- cational needs remain his fore- most concern. Father O'Brien reveals his feelings, not only to- wards his office but the entire Prep community, in the words of St. Ignatius: Love ought to mani- fest itself in deeds, not just in words. Happy are those who dream dreams and are ready to pay the price to make them come true. Cardinal Suenens 26 3.- Rev. Eugene J. O'Brien, S.J., President A.B., M.A., M.S., Ph.L., S.T.B., S.T.L. Dr. Bernard L. Bouillette, Ph.d. Headmaster The education a school can give a student lS only as good as its faculty and the role the faCUlty plays in the maturing of the Stu- dent. Combined on Our faculty are the qualities of experience. freshness, scholarly Wisdom, and a genuine care for all the stu- dents. Almost every undertaking thathappensduringthe course of the school year reverts either dis rectly or indirectly to a teacher who cared enough about Stu- dents to put in some of his time. Hopefully, a teacher Will not only transmit accumulated wis- dom or simply give information, but rather he will teach the stu- dent how to learn. The teacher should not be evaluated on his own knowledge, but rather on his ability to understand, recognize. and help solve the individual problems, needs, and talents of each of his students. Each teach- er is a valuable and integral part of the molding of the student into a young man. Dr. Bouillette Look at the darkness giving birth to the sun. Kahlil Gibran ADMINISTRATION 3 . us: . .

Counseling And Guidance The Counseling and Guidance Department directs the Mentoring Program throughout the school. The mentor- student relationship, which may be seen as an extension of guidance, attempts to foster the student's growth and deveiopment in his academic, social, and personal as- pects. The Department encourages attention to the in- dividual through regular meetings between mentor and students. Dobbs Ferry, the retreat house sponsored by the De- partment, offers the student a non-academic, informal atmosphere for prayer, liturgy, private reflection, and group encounter experiences.

Student Government has seen the realiza- tion of this commitment by encouraging members of the Fordham Prep Council to dedicate their time and energies to the improvement of school life. In addition to its responsibilities to extracurricular activities, Student Government has made efforts this year at involvement beyond the school. An example was Project SMILES which brought orphans to the Prep for an afternoon of lunch, sports, and games with our students. The success of this project was amply reflected in the faces of these children. A new format for mentor group representatives was instituted to facili- tate communications between 8.6. and the mentoring groups. This year's Student Government brought many ideas into action and stimulated action among a wider group of students than ever before. It tried to live its motto: For the improvement of the community.

From beginning to end, LET- TERS is a creative celebration of life. An announcement of utter joy and ecstacy co-mingled with a mastery of words Shakespeare him- self would have envied. Reading LETTERS is a source of emotional purification parallel to one's seIf-immolation in Beethovan's Ninth Symphony. One expects someday the writters of LETTERS to be spoken of in the same breath as Faulkner, Hemingway, O'Neil, Eliot, Pound and Kotzwinkle. Perhaps that is to underestimate them. The interview with Salinger was just too much, although I must admit disappointment at the Picasso engravings. This was compen- sated for by the newly discovered and previously unpublished sec- tions of Aristotle's POETICS. As much as I like Allen Ginsberg, I think forty-eight poems in one issue is a bit overdone. LETTERS is what Milton lost. - G.B. Shaw Ill Staff: F. Aliberti, H. Brown, L. Curreri, C, Ell, C. Ford, J.

L , The snow melts, the mountain tops grow bald, The stream, saving nothing, runs out before April - But all that is yet to come. Now the little beetles huddle motionless, They glisten with the wet, Numb in their short black legs, Exposed to any hungry jaw or beak That crops its way along this morning run. Deep in the canyon, thread-bare snow above. The rackets of leaping streams below, Clustered on black weed, Like beads by the handful of flat wet leaves. Shining dully, like dusty berries, Like grains of rice ready to be knocked from their stems, The Iadybugs in the thousands cling To some poor shivering form of winter life. They frighten me, so vulnerable they are - Touch a branch and rain down orange drops That click on stones And lie there upside-down, their legs barely waving. They remind me of my childhood. I cannot step without crushing them - They are so many and to no purpose: My life, their death, it seems. - Robert Burke '76 Prep Phys. Ed. Starts Gymnastics Program A Prep assembiy featuring a championship gymnastics team from neighboring Pennsyl- vania sparked school wide interest for a gym- nastics program. The exhibition demonstrated that stamina, rhythm, agility, and style must characterize the gymnast's performance. An enthusiastic response from the students may be iaying the foundation for a future Prep team to enter competition.

Eu f 3 ' .kate To Hockey League Playoffs d1 3v. 1 1 Is In the 1975-76 Hockey Season, Fordham Prep saw its team, in only its third year of existence, become a first place contender in the Catholic High School Hockey League. Q. In mid-September, as the club started its off-ice training, the play- ers worked hard because they felt they had a winning team. Hard work combined with enormous enthusiasm soon yielded a 11-5-1 record. The turning point of the season came when the team tied Iona 4-4 in their third game. This was the Prep's best showing against an established team and gave them the badly needed confi- dence they sought. With a new zest of confidence and led by the high scoring line of Sean Moran, Tony Riocci, and Charlie Granda, Fordham sped to the top to stay in a constant battle with All Hallows for first place. The highlight of the season occurred when Fordham avenged an 8-1 loss to Spellman at the Nassau Coliseum by beating them soundly 7-01 In this game a total team effort, along with the stand- up goal tending of Paul Kopera, gave Fordham its third shutout in seven games. Bill Andrews gave the team its first two shutouts in decisive fashion against St. Raymonds and Dubios. Fordham proved itself to the league as it gave city champion Cardinal Hayes its most evenly matched game in at least three years Charlie Granda faces off against opponent x Q of competition. Fordham demonstrated that they weren't a Cin- derella team but a true winner. Led by the aggressive play of alternate captain Ken DeLasho and the hard hitting of Joe Scilufo and Mike Boyle, Fordham threatened Hayes' unbeaten record. Scor- ing three goals in the third period, Fordham lost a tough game 7-4. Under the guidance of Coach Abbatini and Moderator Fr. Jordan, the team completed its first highly successful season. As the RAM- KIN goes to press, the Prep could possibly have a city-champion- ship on its hands. With the young depth of players like Sophomores Steve Bassetti, Torn Monahan, and Steve Mauro, along with Fresh- men Chris Grace and Billy McIntyre, the team will have plenty of talent for years to come.

The goal was ably defended by Mike LaPetina. Mid-season additions like Steve Jones and Lou Demchuk aided veterans Tim Sin- gleton and John Aglio, the team's captain. Mr. Patrick Moran, the team's coach, lent not only skillful direction but the kind of en- couragement and support players need. Maroon Key 6 rev. The Order Of the Maroon Key as an th, wmum honoring leadership in Fordham Pl'L'p students. Juniors and SGHIOTS are elected by a committee composed of four teachers and foor students who are Maroon Key members Thesr decision is based on the candidate's aDDIICBIIOD, optional Interview, and the recommendations of the teachers and fel- low students. The committee seeks to recognize accomplishments in activities, academics, and ser- vice to school and community. The Maroon Key member is not someone who has a large following, but rather someone whose example should inspire others It is always difficult to select new members because there are so many deserving candidates. The primary purpose of the Maroon Key is accom- plished through the members' caring, helping, and serving other peOple.

First, and foremost, is the introduction of the New Penance t Rite to the Prep's community.Anotherimportantwork,which l, few have noticed, is the Committee's involvement in the re- , treat program. Prep students have participated in spiritual retreats with other schools from the New York area in the V1 C.Y.O.

Rams lVlarch Fer Life On Jan. 22, the third anniversary of the US Supreme Court decision on abortion, 30 Prep students led by Mr. Beck and Fr. DiGiacomo traveled to Washington DC, to lobby for the reversal of the decision. The students joined other anti-abor- tionists from all 50 states The demonstration started in mId-morning across from the White House. The demonstrators then proceeded to march to the Washington Monument behind a banner declaring: ABORTION: a woman's right to kill, At the Monument, the crowd heard speakers assail the Su- preme Court decisions The Capitol police estimated the crowd to be between 25,000 and 50,000 peOple. After approximately two hours in the freezing weather, the demonstration moved to the Capitol. The first arrivals formed a circle around the building, which was aptly called a circle of life. The speakers commended the crowd's actions and the perseverance they showed. Following a prayer by Bishop Welsh of Virginia, the demonstrators entered the nearby office buildings to continue lobbying for an amendment that would reverse the Supreme Court decision.

In this joint venture with the Cooley's Anemia Research Foundation and the Red Cross, the Prep collected sixty-five pints of blood. Cooley's Anemia is a fatal incurable disease that afflicts youngsters, few victims of this disease live beyond their early teens. As a result of the disease they need frequent blood transfusions in order to survive. The Blood drive was a great success and the club plans to make the drive an annual event. .J.oe Decaminada and Steve Falci, aided by Marko Remec, directed the activmes of the blood drive. Prepster prepares to give blood donation Kiwanis Establishes Key Club The Kiwanis Key Club is basically a high school service organization modeled after Kiwanis, a service oriented group of business and professional men who sponsor and advise it in its various activities and projects. Key Clubbing is the largest high school service organization in North America and has two official publica- tions, THE KEYNOTE and THE EMPIRE KEY. While the Club's emphasis is on service, either fund raising or volunteer projects, it also tries to involve itself actively in its high school and Tom Bo'and '3'3951'19 CO'OFSI MQde'atO' F Gib'l counse's a 59mm surrounding communities. In undertaking its Cltlzen. projects, the Key Club's aim is the development of initiative, leadership ability, and good citizen practices while making the whole process fun, bringing the personal satisfaction of helping others to all its members. In the 1975-76 year, the Key Club has grown to over forty active members at the Prep, only two and a half years after it started. Headed by Marko Remec, President, Steve Falci and Peter Arabia, Vice-Presidents, Jim Curtin, Secretary. Dan Morrison, Treasurer, and Fr. Giblon, Mod- erator, the Key Club has accomplished much in the area of community service. The Club has raised more than seven hundred dollars for its year project, the Rosary Hill Hos- pital. By sponsoring movies and basketball con- tests, the Club raised enough money to send its representatives to the District Convention in April. The Club also hosted a Christmas dinner for senior citizens in December. The outlook is optimistic. The Key Club has found a place in the Prep and the Prep has found a place for it. Hold that pole!

This victory summed up much of the'i Spirit and determmon of the team, and, finally, brought to light the full credit which beldngs t0 the' anch, Mr. Joe seph Bernal, and the moderator, Fr.'James Shields, S.J.. Guided by these two men, the team has matured in three years from e.team with potential to one withhot only plenty of talent, buxom with plenty of class as weii. This year brought a new dimension: depth. For the past few years the team has lacked the swimmers who can bring in the vital points of third and fourth piece finishes. However, the development of co- captaihsraieter Freer and Conrad Gaskin, along with a whole team of seniors and juniors, filled that vacancy. The team has also added such top-line swimmers as Freshman Mark Hicks, Kurt Mayer, and Peter Marshall to the likes of Bobby Hackett, and Tom Campbell, the third co-captain of the team. This mixture of talent and incomparable Spirit brought home a great sea- son.

Wrestling is a sport contested at twelve various weight classes ranging from 98 to 220 lbs. The team showed enormous potential and guts as it faced a tough schedule against New York Military Academy and Cro- ton-Harmon, two of the best wrestling schools in the area. Ralph Mattone, Ralph Haddad, Vince Brophy, Dave Ferran, Bill DeMarinis, and John Doran spear-headed the Rams' attack with Frank Young, Terry McCabe, Al Donofrio and Frank Raho all ably filling their weight classes. The true measure of an athlete, said Coach Carlucci, is what he does when he's tired. It's a matter of having no more to give, remarked Coach Steve Corso, then reaching down and finding it, all in what must be the most agonizing six minutes in all sports. 99 J.V.'s Capture Winning Season n I ..

Head Coach BOT iLrRi, M Greyson, J Pirraglia, W Simmons, A Collura, D Forstall, M Allen The J. V. Basketball team overcame significant obstacles to finish the 75-76 season with a fine 12-8 record. The Prep five led by the scoring of captain Russell Booker and guard Mike Allen won its first four games The Prep lost in a tough battle with division leading Rice 66-63, to open the season. After the Rice game, the team showed real spirit by crushing undefeat- ed Salisian 67-40. It was an all-around team effort but special attention must be given to the leadership of Tony Collura and the shooting of Mark McClellan and Elston Bell. The team then won three of its next four games, including an important league victory over LaSalle. Following a disappointing loss to Iona Prep, the team suffered a double overtime loss to St. Raymonds. These two defeats coupled with their third league loss in a row, to Rice, sent the team into a three way tie for fourth place. The team ended its slide by routing a weak St. Agnes team. The Prep five then played a critical game against LaSalle. DeSpite the absence of Russell Booker, Elston Bell and Mike Sena, supplied the necessary scor- ing punch to lead the Prep to a seven point victory. In the final game of the regular season, the JV. suffered a setback to an underrated Dubois squad, despite strong performances by Mark McClellan and John Pirraglia. In spite of the loss to Rice at the end of the season, the JV. secured a playoff berth. The toil of 512 months of hard work was going to be decided by 3 games. After defeating the first two opponents, the Prep five faced a strong Tolentine teams The Prep led for most of the first half. In what proved to be a poor shooting game, the Prep five were outscored by Tolentine iO-O late in the first half. This scoring burst left the Prep trailing by six pomts at halftime Late in the game Tolehtme went into a stall game for about five minutes. The Prep squad was unable to make up the scoring deficit and was defeated by a score of 40 to 33 Despite this playoff loss, the Prep JTV. had an extremely gratifying seasmi Bell displays perfect Jumper McClellan's tough msude up, 4..

The Rams had many bright spots in the season, including Pat O'Rourke's 15 p.p.g. average and Ed McAleer's aggressive play that earned him 14 p.p.g. The rebounding strength came from Seniors Tom Delaney and Brian Corco- ran and Juniors Tom Rizzo and Pat Ogiste. Impressive victories were recorded against Cardinal Spellman in the open- ing game, and in a home series over arch-rival Iona. In their up and down season, the high spot for the Rams came at Christmas time. The Rams captured the Pleasant- ville Tournament Championship by de- feating a strong Pleasantvitle team, 52-49, in the final. Here they placed Ray Holland and Ed McAleer on the all1 tournament team. Holland was named M.V.P. of the Tournament. 7 103 Ray Holland fnres long jumper Ed McAleer rises over defense VJ Bryan Corcoran looks to pass 104 Pat Oglste zeroes In on hoop Bruan Brady looks for an 355.51 105 Top McAleer shows high scoring form, Bottom Hassler prOVIdes rebounding strength Top Rams defense cuts off passmg lanes Center Delaney goes way up Bottom Holland flies by SaIeSIan 106 Brady soars to the hoop Torn Delaney strOng 107 'x Can I say that I am I?

The 1975-76 Varsity, J.V., and Freshman Tennis Teams had a very successful fall season. All three squads swept both singles and doubles in the annual Catholic High Schools Athletic Association TGiiiliS Team Triumphs tennis tournament. One of the reasons for their success is the backbone of Fordham tennis, their coach, Mr. John J. Rooney. Mr. Rooney uses his impres- sive amount of teaching experience to help each player realize his full potential. Any student can testify to the rewards of Mr. Rooney's influence. As long as the Prep has the dedication, knowledge, and friendliness that Mr. Rooney has, our Tennis Teams will remain successful. 114 Stephen Kenny, and Greg Magner, CHSAA Doubles Champ. ., ...' ..i.

That night Fordham had its first representative in the Olympic Invitational in six years. The Fordham mile relay t completed the field of five qualifiers by slipping ahead of Bishop Loughlin by one tenth of a second. Matched against strong opponents as Maria Regina, Power Memorial, St. Francis Prep, and Iona Prep, the Prep team appeared to be the immediate underdog. Throughout the league some teams felt Fordham wasn't good enough to be there. Confident, the team publicized their upcoming contest That night the team was received by a loyal crowd as it entered the Garden's arena, From the moment the gun went off until the tape was broken Fordham Prep proved that it deserved to run that night. yd.

With concerts at the World Trade Center, the Mother's Club Christmas Party, Rosary Hill Hospital, the Bridgeview Nursing Home and numerous other social events, the Choir has lightened the hearts and souls of thousands by their spirit and music. Perhaps the most interesting experience of this year's Choir was its trip to Hartford Connecticut where it performed with girls from North West Hartford Catholic High School. As guests of the girls' families, the Choir not only performed, but also were es- corted around the historical sites of the city by their hosts. In all the choir has had seven concerts with girls' schools this year. In the concerts held at the Prep: the Folk Concert, the Winter's End Concert, and the Spring Concert, the choir specialized in American music celebrating the bicentennial year. The musical happening of the year will un- doubtedly be the Festival of Nations Compe- tition in Washington, DC. during June. Many outstanding choirs throughout the United States and Canada will be competing for the honor of the best Choir on the Continent. Mr James Kenneth Johnson.

A Prep's Bicentennial Salute To OUR TOWN Kilgannon Heads Lively And Professional Cast Ednor Webb H Currem dtscusses xhe news Stage Manager 18 Kllgannom Introduces Emily M Cerbone and C BrOWn talk abom the wedding Not to be outdone by the bicentennial minute Fordham Prep's Dramatic Society offered a salute to the nation's celebration with a lively production of Thornton Wilder's classm drama, OUR TOWN Set in Grover's Corners, a small New England yil- Iage of early twentieth-century Vintage, OUR TOWN deals with the complaint that pe0ple hurry through life too quickly without taking time to ap- preciate the beauty and simplicity it has to offer each individual. People attain such a realization only after death, when, unfortunately, it is far too late. Unique to the play's structure is the character of the Stage Manager who steps in as the play's nar- rator. Throughout the course of the play, the narra- tor appears to act as a commentator, something in the style of the chorus in a Greek tragedy. He often delivers his lines directly to the audience, some- times engaging them in dialogue. This strenuous role, requiring enormous feats of memory, skills in fluency, and clear comprehension of the play's message, was smoothly commandeered by Wil- Mrs GibbstSharon Rollamniencourages GeorgetA Beermani, Iiam Kilgannon '76 in his first and highly ac- claimed performance at the Prep. Rarely does an all-male school produce a play with such demanding female roles. The challenge was more than met by the actresses in the female roles. The female lead, Emily, the young girl who sorrowfully realizes life's bitter irony, was sensi- tively portrayed by Elizabeth Terp of Mount Saint Ursula. Elizabeth was admirably supported by Ma- rie McCourt tMSUi in the role of Emily's mother, Mrs. Webb. Arnold Beerman '76 revealed more of his talent in an outstanding portrayal of George, Emily's beau. Sharon Rollman tSMUi also took honors as George's mother, the patient caring Mrs. Gibbs, who carries on through life and death with stoic resignation. The clever wit of Editor Webb, played by Lee Curreri '77, added vital elements of Ievity to the play. Mark Cerbone '76 commanded a convincing role as Dr. Gibbs, the devoted professional man and father. Philip Farenga '77 stole many a scene with his more than credible characterization of the Above. Emily tElizabeth Terpi learns domestic Skillsi drunken choir master and Village scandaL Simon Below: Mr Geraghty 81 Fr, Leonard Historian Mark Merl'ICk '76 Stimpson. Mark Merrick '76 presented a fine per- formance as the town's historian. Mr. Joseph Geraghty, of the Prep's English De- partment, exhibited his wise, professional touch in the selection, casting, directing, and guiding of this successful production. Undoubtedly, this is only a hint of the genius and vitality he will bring to the Dramatics Society. Working in close harmo- ny with Mr. Geraghty was Fr. John Leonard whose brilliant imagination and creativity, coupled with a steady business sense, inspired success as well as dedication in the students. Production Manager Chris Ford '76 continually boosted the cast's morale and spirit by his encouragement and devo- tion. The Society's dramatization of OUR TOWN marks an unforgettable moment in the history of Fordham Prep's theater. Golfers Take To The Links This year's golf team is very confident in attaining a high standing during its various matches scheduled in the spring. Confidence was inspired because the majority of members, who held successful positions last year, as Juniors, are able to compete in this season's tournaments. Although practice was minimal during the fall, our early spring work-out should show us victory at our home course at Winged Foot Country Club, and frequent visits to Lake Isle CO. The teams op- posed at home courses are obliged to return the invitation at their home. Therefore, the members receive the opportunity to play at various professional courses throughout Westchester. For preparation other than practice, the team is able to view the professionals by the use of various movies within the school. This gives them the chance to visualize how the swing should be execut- ed and ultimately results in better play on the course. Hence, no matter what the final record shows, each participating student ex- periences a very enjoyable season. ,0 a ' .

The students not only wash, feed, and help the patients but also try to bring some cheer and happiness into their lives, by showing that they are concerned and interested.

Tip 9 Our Conclusions This last page of the RAMKIN concludes the history of our Class at the Prep. Along with us is a man who concludes an even longer history at the Prep, a history begun well before any of us. The Student Council, on behalf of our Gra- duating Class and the entire Prep community, pays a profoundly respectful tribute to Mr. Jo- seph P. Fox. In September of 1946, Mr. Fox first jogged to the Prep to begin his career as teacher and track coach. His first team numbered ten run- ners, but under his expert direction a team expanded into a program and flourished, reaching at one point 125 athletes. Such num- bers amply testify to the magnetism he exerts. His name has become a legend among track enthusiasts Even a casual glance at his records reveals numerous league champion- ships and broken records One can point to the team of Mr. Fox and Thomas Carroll of the Class of 1957 to find how a coach and runner revolutionized the world of high school track. Running under Coach Fox, Carroll stunned sports spectators when he ran a 1.50.6 half mile, surpassing the world record of 152.8. Stilled guided by Mr Fox, he ran a 1.492 for 800 meters. A familiar face at the Catholic High School Athletic Association since 1929, his devotion and hard work earned him the vice-presidency of the association. He also holds the title of Commissioner of Track. Mr. Fox founded the largest school-boy competition in the nation with the creation of the New York Relays. Although he retired from active coaching in 1974, he still plays a key role in the profes- sional and fatherly advice which he is always ready to give to any of the members of the team. Mr. Fox takes with him many fond memories as he looks back over his long ca- reer at the Prep, but he leaves even fonder memories for so many of his students and col- leagues for his devoted service to Fordham Prep. Mr. Joseph P Fox, teacher and coach, a truly dedicated human being a the man who has won the admiration, respect, and love of so many who came to know him PD FJ Lu WESTERN MRBCOK
