The purpose of this photo- essay is to take a comically refreshing view-that of the mundane, often jocular portion of student life. The context glori- fies the ridiculous inanities which give significance to the higher achievements illustrated throughout the rest of the book. The following ten pages are de- voted to the largest and most popular general category of student activity- goofing off. J. D.

Guard Sweep Right Last year's football team had proven to itself and the remainder of the student body that it was one of the best teams in the Metropolitan area. When the team assembled this year for summer camp in August it set out to prove this to the rest of the city and to gain the recognition it deserved. Mr. Fegan and the tri- captains, Brian Yore, Paul Mackey, and Sean Hallahan emphasized that teamwork and discipline, both mental and physical, were prerequisites to attaining any of their goals. Although time was relatively short, hard work and determination made it the most profitable camp in lVlr. Fegan's career. The team played a tough preseason schedule facing Western, Carroll, Wood- berry Forest and Episcopal. With last year's opening game loss to Western in mind, the team brutally bat- tered the Raiders who no longer displayed the power which they exhibited last year in winning the inter-high title.

Catholic League, provided the hard-hitting opposition which Prep players have come to expect from them throughout the years in this traditional scrimmage. The fray with Woodberry Forest snapped the Little Hoyas into the realization that a difficult road lay between them and their ultimate goal. Better mentally prepared for Episcopal, Prep displayed the awesome potential which was to become a reality during the season. The opening game was against Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore, a large Catholic school which was allegedly a power in football. The press clippings of their open- ing 45-0 victory left many Prep students wary of the upcoming contest. But the players found an incentive in the laughing taunts of the Gibbons team which marked Prep's arrival in the locker room. The myth fashioned by the students quickly crumbled as the 42 ti McMahon leads blocking for unidentified ball carrier XASYH' 1 A X' Understandably frightened, Sheehan blasts up Ken Crim's hole.

Q E! i .fi :i-.- as 7 . ., T ,,.l, , - .sr mg , it Sweep right, sweep left-the unrelenting grind begins. l Two on one running of Steve Saxon and Joe Sheehan dominated the game from the opening kickoff. The unheralded offense rolled up 32 points while the defense, an- chored primarily by underclassmen, notched its first shutout. The team was more concerned about its next foe, Sidwell Friends, than it had been about Cardinal Gib- bons. This was because the Friends game opened our drive for another I.A.C. title, which had not been cap- tured by the team picked to win it since 1959. Further- more, against Friends, as well as against almost every Prep was to face, the advantage of trying to team avenge past defeats rested with the opposition. A rumor circulated about the campus told of SidweIl's strong and ambitious team which had to be regarded as a contender. But the outstanding play of Sean Hal- lahan and Kevin Mclvlahon led the way in another high scoring performance. Led by a vicious front wall, the defense established a streak with another shutout, shattering Friends' title hopes, 38-0. Landon had lost to Prep four consecutive times in our season finale. Desperately trying to change his losing ways, Coach Ed Barton challenged lVlr. Fegan to an earlier scheduling. The Bears had had this par- ticular game foremost in their minds throughout their summer training and most authorities predicted a tight championship game. But once again the powerful Prep defense led the way as standout defensive back John Burke intercepted Dave Adkins' first pass and returned it for a touchdown to open the gates for a flood of scoring. Perhaps the most memorable moment of the season came when Landon reached the Prep Prep offense becomes airborne. era T sv i at 7' A il Touchdown! Burke carries. Gee, you're big! 2 yard line on a disputed reception. Landon had four chances to crash Prep's virgin goal line. After four plunges the Bears came up with a net loss of three yards, compliments of the defensive line. Once again a contender cancelled its victory parties in the gloom of a 36-O defeat. Upon returning from retreat the team set out to pre- pare for its next challenger, St. Stephen's, which had downed Landon over our retreat weekend and was now the recipient of a massive press buildup as Prep's toughest opponent. On a day when most teams post- poned their games Prep invaded the Saints' field which resembled the swamps of Viet Nam during the monsoon. Aside from the rain, the game was marked by Steve Saxon's ability to slosh through the mud, Joe Sheehan's inability to be tackled, Paul Mackey's crushing blocks, and Prep's disregard for the concept of a balanced attack. The offense rolled up 382 yards without attempting more than one pass. The Saints, on the other hand, due to Prep's invulnerable line relied primarily on a passing attack without a great deal of success until they connected on a 30-yard touchdown pass against the second string in the final minutes of play. Although this broke the team's defensive streak, it was a relief to have this added source of pressure removed. Coach Fegan had been concerned that a string of shutouts would distract the team from its true purpose, to win ball games. Thus, despite this set- back, the team notched its 36-6 victory with pride and looked toward the game with St. Albans, a team with definite psychological motivation. A team which is upset 69-6 cannot avoid the highly potent desire for revenge. With this in mind, lVlr. Fegan drilled his men late into the evenings in preparation for what was to be Prep's toughest game against an understandably psyched St. Albans team. Again the defense was the key to victory, the offense scoring a conservative 14 points. The vaunted passing attack of St. Albans fizzled under pressure from the defensive line led by John McAllister and Jim Castiglia coupled with Joe Sheehan's shadowing of Parker. Prep also unveiled a new passing threat, Sean Hallahan, who . . . And so God gave us hands. Mr. Fegan prepares game strategy A balanced attack, paydirt, and a welcome rest. Halftime, a chance to feel the strain. 45 Bye Bye Byrd. Jack of all trades, Fleury converts. l 'X gg unitts pitched a 38-yard touchdown pass to Kevin Byrd. The 14-0 victory almost assured the I.A.C. title for Prep. St. James had an improved team this year, but not enough to get excited about. Prep went to the air early to roll up a quick score and let the substitutes con- tinue their training. The passing game featured a Mc- Mahon to McAllister combination with a change of pace to Andy Chacos later in the game. As the 46-8 score indicates, St. James did enjoy the satisfaction of scoring on Prep's normally impregnable defense on an otherwise gloomy day. There is a growing rivalry between Prep and its downtown counterpart, Gonzaga High School. Gonzaga had not won a game this year, but they were big and no team had been able to run successfully against them. Steve Saxon and Joe Sheehan, however, exceptional ballcarriers on their own, were running behind the overwhelming blocking of the offense line led by Matt Whalen. The defense scored another shut- out as Prep crushed its would-be rival 40-0. lt seemed as though it would be impossible to get the team up for its final game against Bullis, the I.A.C. cellar dweller. But Mr. Fegan does the impossible best Saxon has the ball in his hands, and the crowd has their hearts in their mouths. and the team played in its normal fashion on its way to this 50-0 romp, culminating its defense of the I.A.C. crown. Many people believe that the 1968 football team was the best Prep has ever fielded. lt smashed both offensive and defensive records in scoring 292 points at an average of 36.5 while yielding 14 points at a 1.75 average. lt was ranked as the fourth best team in the always strong Washington Area. Prep dominated the ALL-I.A.C. selections, placing 13 men on the squad in- cluding the entire offensive line. Four men were placed on the ALL-PREP team while three more were grudgingly honored by Steve Hershey's Catholic Standard selections. Finally, four players received the highest honor attainable-selection to the ALL MET- ROPOLITAN TEAM. They were-John McAllister, Marc McKenna, Brian Yore, and Steve Saxon. Mr. Fegan, always conscious of the future, used a great number of underclassmen, most notably on defense. This factor, coupled with the talent and diligence of runners John McKnight and John Burke, promises that next year will be another great one for Prep and the best coach in the Washington Metropolitan Area, Jim Fegan.

A potent offensive back- field composed of Sean Boland, Billy Maloney, Herbie McKnight, and Jeff Glassie were matched only by an impervious forward wall anchored by Bullit Walsh and Richard Mathe. The defensive squad however was not to be underrated. Throughout the season, it was characterized by cohesive and inspired play on all sides. We congratulate these future Varsity stars, and can expect, with good reason, their continued success on the gridiron.

For ten weeks the team practiced faithfully and for all their competence they jelled as a unit only once in their three outings. That was a 14-O victory against Episcopal who had routed the C squad earlier in the season, 26-6. The final game was a 6-0 heartbreaker, to a tough Carroll team, and was marked by inspired defense play on both sides. Besides the competent guidance of Bob Abbo and Cullen. 2nd row-lVl.

On defensive, there were two standouts, guard Jim Mc- lnerny, and safety Steve Omenitsch. Halfback Tim Dugan and Bill Taylor were the leading scorers of the season.

With a group of castoffs from the powerful 145 lb. team, Coach Dutch Usilaner set about the task of building a well co-ordinated ball club, led by fullback Mike Kennedy and guard Joe Muldoon. After two early season drubbings at the hands of Landon and St. Stephens, the ball club finally cracked the scoreboard with a 1-O forfeit over St. Albans. So, with a victory under their belts, they encountered a strong Blessed Sacrament eleven, only this time the referees failed to show up. Dutch, feeling he had the game in the bag, decided to assume the responsibility of refereeing himself, and pressed Father Brady into service as headlinesman. Trailing late in the game 6-0, Prep rallied and positioned themselves for a score. On the last play of the game the team's unique 12 man offense drove in for paydirt. Referee Usilaner ruled that the twelfth man in no way interfered with the play, and thus the squad concluded the season in a blaze of glory.

This is the second year in the history of the George- town Preparatory School Cross Country Team, a team which has been characterized by outstanding standing student initiative. John Farmer Dennis, a member of the previous year's graduating class, got the team on its feet last autumn by trying as hard as he could to get every student to participate. With John Dennis as its self-appointed coach, captain, and moderator, the team engaged in competition against several nearby high schools, and finally, entered in the IAC meet. Al- though they failed to produce a victory, our first team did provide the inspiration for Brian Conley and Greg Boyland to continue the work this year. The turnout for the team was amazing, but after a few tough workouts, only the hardy survived. Having rid themselves of the more Iackadasical runners, Brian and Greg assumed leadership and organized grueling practice sessions to get everyone in top condition. Aside from their daily laps around the perimeter of the golf course, the boys enjoyed gallivanting around the Grosvenor Park grounds, and an occasional jaunt up Floute 70S. It is a tribute to the team and its captains, that without outside supervision and pressure, they worked tirelessly to prepare for their meets. But the work paid-off in the first cross-country victory in the history of G.P., a 29-27 triumph over Lan- don. The team had a Senior backbone-Conley, Boy- land, Vaghi, Willett, Holahan, Waldron, and Williams, but juniors like Miller, Sharek, lVlcGinnis, and Traylor were instrumental in both wins.

Byrd, M. McKenna, J. Gibadlo, Coach Charles Sullivan, A school as small as Prep often finds itself in a predicament when basketball practice should be get- ting under way and half the team is out on the football field winning a championship. This is the way things are, however, and it is up to Coach Tony Carroll to make the best of this unfortunate situation. The team spent long, hard hours practicing in prep- aration for their first game against St. Anthony's, who turned out to be too powerful for the Little Hoyas. It was evident then that Prep had not made the transi- tion from football yet, and was simply not ready to play well. lt was a long haul from their pitiful opening weeks to the success they would later attain. Gonzaga toyed with the Hoyas in their first meeting this year, and then the Carroll Tournament gave Prep an opportunity to lose another two games. Against Archbishop Car- roll, however, Prep gave a sneak preview of the excel- lent team play they were later to show, and were ex- pected to show. Potentially, the 1968-1969 basketball team could be one of the strongest Prep has ever fielded. All the necessary ingredients were at hand. The tallest men of the IAC were in the 6'5 range, and Prep had two in Andy Chacos and Johnny Ricca. They had the league's top scorer back in the form of Kevin Byrd. The Little Hoyas could also count on the scoring 54 The odds are against him, but K. Byrd is undaunted. With Sophomores and Seniors leading the way of Marc lVlcKenna and the promise of Sophomore John Gibadlo. There was also Vince Burke, who at 6'0 could crash the boards like no guard in the league. There was a strong bench featuring Vince Vaghi and Sophomore standouts Timmy Tuane and Donny Hath- way. But even at the close of the Carroll Tournament, the squad lacked the most important ingredients of all -teamwork and precision. The team held a meeting after the tournament in an attempt to reverse their losing ways. Mr. Carroll de- veloped a strong zone defense and worked over many plays in the subsequent practices. But most impor- tant, he impressed upon the team the need to pick up the pieces and gain a little confidence. January 10th marked the season's turning point as the battering Prep leveled against Landon ignited a winning streak that was to total 11 out of 12 games going into the St. Stephen's Tournament. The spree included nine l.A.C. victories, a win over Episcopal, and a rematch triumph over Gonzaga. In the only loss, to Sidwell Friends, the Little Hoyas seemed to have reverted back to their floundering ways in giving the game to the Quakers at the foul line. Despite this loss, Prep was atop the l.A.C. at the time of the tournament, though it was the league's tightest race in years. ln the opening round, Prep stunned defending champion Kingswood, 74-45. Then they took on Good Counsel and dropped the game in overtime after having led by 14 in the fourth period. Prep wrapped up third place with an impressive win over Gonzaga. The Little Hoyas broke the tourna- ment scoring record with 204 points, 57 of which be- longed to Kevin Byrd who was named to the All-Tour- nament Team.

They per- formed to expectations in bringing home another IAC title to add to Dutch's growing coaching laureis. Their eleven wins began with triumphs over such powers as St. Anthony's, Gonzaga, Landon, and a surprisingly weak Sidwell Friends team. Shortly afterwards, the team's momentum was broken by three straight losses. But, behind lvlaurry Nee's 26 point perform- ance, the team bounced back to overwhelm a visiting St. Anthony's squad 52-36 and coast through their re- maining three games. Basketball supporters at Prep will be happy to see many of these fine performers on the varsity next year. 59 Awesome Freddy O'Connor.

Freshman iceberg Paul Maloney remains undaunted by Deal's big man. The third year in the history of the Freshman bas- ketball team proved to be somewhat frustrating, al- though mildly successful. The team was plagued by injuries throughout the season, frequently playing without Al Barnes at center, and Joe Graham at for- ward. lt seems that every year produces an outstand- ing floor leader and ball handler-last year it was Tim Ruane, this year Paul Maloney. As a quarterback, Maloney was consistently able to set up teammates with excellent passes, never losing his head under pressure. Joe DeFrancis kept opponents well aware of his uncanny shooting ability, while Tom Fitzgerald and Pat Healy helped out underneath. Playing a tough schedule against larger Catholic high schools, the team found itself struggling to sur- vive. After a number of early season defeats, however, they came back to defeat Gonzaga, and go on to a winning season. Race to the goal . . Dearborn pounces on opponent's mistakes.

The Varsity Soccer season, although a disappoint- ing one, was by no means completely without excite- ment. Off to a poor start in the way of four losses, the team registered its' first victory against Bullis. A four point scoring spree in that game was ignited by a miraculous midfield goal by co-captain Mike McCar- thy. The following match pitted Prep against the reign- ing l.A.C. Champions, Sidwell Friends. The pre-game outlook was bleak, but Casey Aiken's heroics in the net, which amounted to thirty saves for him gave Prep a 1-0 upset victory. The team's spirits were lifted, but the winning streak was short-lived as Episcopal dealt the Little Hoyas back-to-back losses, But the team bounced back with a tie against Landon and a victory over Bullis. The game at St. James, marred by ice and mud, proved to be another big game for the Prep de- fense. The Saints missed on nine out of ten penalty kicks. Mr. Sotak's players performed well this season, but the student body lacked the initiative to support them. Only two students viewed the Sidwell game, per- haps the biggest contest in the league this year. Spec- tator support often makes the difference between win- ning and losing, and with more students on the side- lines, Prep certainly could be a contender in soccer. . . . in a brutal sport.

Soccer season proved to be an improve- ment over last year, as there were signs of energy and spirit in the team. In losing the first six games, the main problem for Coach Jim Dougherty, was that of developing a scoring offense. Prep failed to score in four of the six losses, and the defense was also weak, allowing nineteen points. But in the last four games, the team pulled itself together to end the sea- son on a winning streak. While the offense was still a little weak, scoring only six points, the defense tough- ened, allowing but one goal. There were some bright prospects on the team who may be able to contribute greatly to next year's varsity squad.

The final fruits of three months of morning and afternoon practice sessions are reflected in the 9-3 record for dual meets, with a first place trophy for the St. Albans Invitational and third place in the Georgetown Prep Invitational. In the past, the team has always been strong in some events and always weak in others. However this year, the Lit- tle Hoyas surprised many opponents with their extra- ordinary depth and versatility in all eleven events. The season opened against the Rockville Swim Club with a strong win. Next, enormous wins over Cardoza, St. Albans, St. John's, and Charlotte Hall followed. The team had confidence and an impressive winning streak. It felt ready to tackle Loyola of Baltimore. The meet went down to the wire, but Prep came out on the bottom, losing by 15 points.

A number of newcomers to the sport were added to the returning squad, Bob Haile, John McGrane, Phil O'Neill, and co- captains George Poole and Kevin King. Operating with only these five veterans, the team succumbed to Car- roll, St. Albans, St. Stephens, Landon, and Sidwell Friends while registering wins over hapless Bullis alone. The solitary boast of this lackluster season was the undefeated record of Senior, George Poole. However, we must look to next year for the championship which is our due and the sufferers of this year who will win it.

Baseball has not been a very successful enterprise at Prep over the past few years, especially in 1968 when the team could muster only a 4-14 record. But, if you listen to Coach Jack Jankowsky, Prep will reverse that record and win the l.A.C. title this year. This may seem like wishful thinking on his part, but actually he has some convincing arguments on his side, mostly in the form of ball players. Mr. Jankowsky lost only one starter through graduation, and therefore has an ex- perienced squad of players returning this spring. The outfield is still intact with Vince Vaghi, Brian Yore, J. Tyler Stant, and a helping hand from John Gibadlo, who doubles as the team's most effective pitcher. Paul Mackey, last season's top hitter, will once again be behind the plate. Coach Jankowsky will also be counting on Marc McKenna, John Burke, and a prom- ising group of boys from last year's championship J.V. team. lf the Little Hoyas can come up with another strong pitcher and more consistent hitting, 1969 could mark the rebirth of baseball at Prep.

Quick fielding, and a quick out. 75 A veteran squad sets its sights on victory When there is so much talk about the weakness of the IAC, it should be noted that, using tennis as a measuring stick, our league is the best in the city. In order to win the championship, Prep's tennis team must surpass squads like Landon's, twice National Schoolboy Champions. Despite the high caliber of their competition, Prep has performed admirably and finished high in the IAC rankings for the past few years. This year's team promises to improve on last year's 13-5 season, losing only the third man on last year's team, Charlie Sands, to graduation. The number one singles spot belongs to Mark Jenkins, a Senior from Tampa who last year proved his ability in Washington tennis circles. From the other end of the Eastern sea- board, Junior Pete MacLellan is a fierce competitor who will probably nail down the number two position. Chuck Ebel, a veteran member of the team and consist- ent winner in doubles matches for the past few sea- sons, may well work his way into the singles lineup for his final year. Other returning players include Jimmy Baker, Dave Bracken, and Henry Dearborn, all of whom are doubles specialists. Billy Riordan, a Freshman from a genuine tennis family, and Junior Charles Traylor are two newcomers who may well provide the winning margin. From all indications the season should be quite suc- cessful, and, as usual, our sights will be set on Lan- don. FAULT!!! 76 lt's tough when you lose your third ball in the snow. ,gg-ti 5?

Early Practice has its disadvantages - . -'-f V W mn ,, Fluery strives to escape trap. An unusual development on the athletic scene this year is the increased interest in the areas of cross- country and track. The track team seems to be headed for a complete renovation under the new coach, John Haley, who feels there is no reason for Prep to be so lacking as it has been in the last few years. Mr. Haley expects Prep to dominate the l.A.C. competition this year, and place respectably in the conference meet which terminates the season. The regular schedule includes six dual meets and the Episcopal Invitational. With their newly gained pride, Prep's runners, who have kept in shape throughout the winter, may well succeed in attaining their goals. This year finds a large number of strong performers returning. Brian Conley runs the mile and two mile events as well as his spe- cialty, the hurdles. Other versatile performers are Sean Hallahan, hurdler and sprinter, and his triple jumping compatriot, Steve Saxon, who also high jumps and sprints. Greg Boyland handles the 880, Carlo McGinnis is a strong two miler, while Herb Mc- Knight and John McAllister round out the sprinters.

Few students at Prep today will remember the days of calisthenics on the football field with lVlr. Fegan. But that was the precursor to the intramural program we have today. The present setup is the result of the efforts of Mr. Charles Sullivan, S.J. He has provided balanced teams through a draft system and has pro- moted regular play. He has sacrificed his free time every afternoon to supervise these activities and con- tributes additionally in maintaining league standings which help stimulate competitiveness. It is through the intramural program that the student who is less en- dowed physically can gain the healthy enjoyment of sports. This is all to Mr. Sullivan's credit. However, this year, due to cramped scheduling and poor weather, the full slate of games during the football season was not completed. Although there were no Oochy,Coochy,Coo! championships, all the students could enjoy them- selves, especially members of the Redskins, the 83 V A pleased Tim Vaca applauds himself. seven seniors who were the only team ever to defeat the faculty, and they did it in grand style, 38-21. Bas- ketball, however, never got past the first week. With Mr. Sullivan busy with the varsity Basketball team, and with poor weather conditions knocking out the outside courts, the basketball league faltered and then failed. However, on March 6, there was a winner take all grudge match between the Juniors and Seniors. The result was a major upset as the smaller Junior squad won easily. The Juniors had a balanced scoring at- tack, with the outstanding players being Bucky Moore, Tim Vaca, Kevin Reilly, Kevin Nlclvlahon, and Bob Maholchic. They moved the ball well, and effectively pressured on defense, noticeable rattling the quick tiring Seniors. Coming up with good efforts, though in a losing cause, were ball handler Chuck Ebel, gunner Paul Mackey, and all around player Paul Fleury. The Sen- iors at times showed flickers of good ball-playing as they closed the gap to 10 or 12 points, but these spurts did not last long, as the game ended with an 18 point difference. That the intramural program fell into disuse this year in the absence of Mr. Sullivan points up an unfor- tunate fact. Without his guidance, it seems doubtful that there will be any intramurals next year, and many students will lose this valuable outlet for their energy. The Cupola only hopes that next year will not find a group of students doing jumping-jacks in the snow. Juniors show pleasure at outcome of game. 85 . lu V al 86 IVITIES CT 9 0A ll Q 4 Literary magazine The Blue and Gray, the school magazine, is in a transitional stage and is experiencing the turmoil that accompanies change. The change is one from a maga- zine about the school to one written about everything by the school, and for its enjoyment. The Blue and Gray editorial staff announced at the beginning of this year that it would accept contributions, ranging from poetry to photography, and the magazine was unveiled as a showcase for student work and thought. The con- cept of reporting campus events and old football scores was abandoned and replaced by articles such as interviews, war problems, and poetry questioning the values of traditional education. This activity remains valuable, and its potential has not diminished. But the Blue and Gray is in danger. Problems have arisen from student apathy and adminis- trative controls. It was many months before the first contributions appeared and they numbered only a few. The values of a school magazine are multiple, even thought they may be dormant. The possible develop- ment of the Blue and Gray rests with the student body, but it is important to cultivate the possibilities of the magazine. Those who work on the Blue and Gray find it valuable in acquiring skills that can be applied later on. In addition, the magazine is one of the student body's few voices and means to express their thoughts and display their talents. .ws ' fl, il., 1 L Blue and Gray staff: Baran, Suro, Cormack, Doyle, and O'Conor. speaks for the students Cormack ponders the future of the Blue and Gray.

The fact the Boosters Club has the largest membership of all the activities is an adequate indication of the organiza- tion's success. In addition to stimulating school spirit, it sponsors a number of other important functions. Foremost among these is the Key club, through which the Boosters Club aids the Admissions Department in introducing prospective applicants to Georgetown Prep. Some of the senior Boosters assist Fr. Dugan in the operation of the Boys' Store while others run the canteen during dances and athletic events. Often they are around before the dances to assist in decorating the gym.

Then the business staff waited for money to roll in from sympathetic donors. But they didn't wait idly. They went to nearby stores to sell ads in the yearbook. Additional capital came from the twelve dollar charge made forgeach yearbook. So, from tramping through the rain and snow, to signing Tom Casey's name on four thousand letters, they are certainly hard at work. In addition, Mr. Casey says of Mr. George Williams, S.J., special consultant to the Business Staff, George has pro- vided the Business Staff with the motivation and ex- perience that we so desperately needed. The layout staff's job is reportedly the hardest one on the Yearbook. What exactly is layout? It is the juxtaposition of the different items on a page. Pic- tures of various sizes must be cropped to fit correctly, and then artistically positioned to arrive at an inte- grated total complex that is pleasing to the eye. Thus, the basic rule of layout: The reader should never notice the arrangement. lf he does, something is wrong. The reader should have a subconscious rec- ognition of the aesthetic value of the unity and coher- ence of the layouts. Added attention must be given to eyelines and dominant pictures. Thus, the high stand- ards of the yearbook are fulfilled, in the words of as- sistant editor Brian Conley, by plain old hard work. Their job is continuous as the other staffs funnel their efforts to the layout staff to be combined in the final work.

As Isaac D'lsraeli once said, Those who never quote, in return are seldom quoted. In addition to using the words of other authors, the literary staff speaks for itself in the copy sections devoted to teachers, activi- ties, sports, and curricula. The fruits of their labor fre- quently go unnoticed, that is, if you spend your time just looking at the pictures. But the contributions of this staff are also a part of the total complex of the work being done in the Cupola office. The photography staff forms the eye of the year- book, peeking into classrooms, activities, sports, and student life in general. They add a fourth dimension to this finished product. Jim Waring and his horde of photographic geniuses provide a realistic insight into the school year. To prove that this year existed, check the yearbook and look at the pictures placed there by this diligent staff. The ring-leaders are Dave McLaughlin and Brian Conley. These two seniors went to seminars over the summer and have since labored to coordinate the var- ious activities and enterprises that combine to form the finished product you see before you. lt is to our editors that we owe much of whatever success the Cupola enjoys this year. Do not forget about this book too soon. Look at it later for its part, not just those who work on it, but you, too, and the experience we share by being at Prep. Debating is an art, both The Varsity Debate Team: 1st row-Charles Ebel, Mark Jenkins, Carlos Ftecio. 2nd row-Neal Sarahan, Co-Captain, Mr. David Sauter, S.J., Moderator, Peter Kenney, Co-Cap- tain, Richard Shea. In One of the most valuable, but least appreciated ex- tracurriculars at Prep is debating. Working in this field can help the student develop a degree of logic in his thinking as well as organization and clarity in his speaking. Furthermore, it offers a realm of competi- tion not unlike that of athletics. The debater not only represents himself and his partner in a debate, but also the entire student body. But debating requires a great deal of work in preparation for each tournament, which seems to discourage many students from par- ticipating. This year's debate season started early when Neal Sarahan and Peter Kenney journeyed to workshops at Northwestern University and George- town University during the early summer months. The information which they compiled about this year's de- bate topic, FtesoIved: that the U.S. should establish a system of compulsory service by all citizens, was brought back to Prep and distributed among the other members of the team. The actual debate season in- cluded six tournaments in the Washington Catholic Forensic League, tournaments at High Point, North Carolinag Buffalo, New York, and a tournament at Georgetown University, which was open to national competition. The team as a whole has compiled an impressive record and is in a good position to take the league championship later this year. The Cupola salutes the debate team and its moderators, Mr. Sauter, S.J., and Mr. Sehler, S.J., and encourages all students to participate in this valuable extracurricular. 96 precise and imaginative.

Interest in the club has increased this year, notably as a result of the success of the production of the music-hall comedy, The Saga of Strongman McGowan, at the One-Act Play Festival presented in the New Theater, formerly known as the Old Gym, in December 1968. Bravura perform- ances in the lead roles and a bright rendition of the musical themes by chorus and cast accomplished a hilarious performance, which rivaled the formidable competition of Scranton Prep's Selections of Scenes from Hamlet and Loyola of Baltimore's brilliant High Sign. lVlr. Adler, and his assistant director, Mr. Denis Moran, S.J., both plan to present three-act productions before the end of the year, including a presentation of John Osborne's Luther. Seniors especially dominate the scene in the second semester as they execute original works by playwright classmates, principally in the theater of the absurd. With this impetus, it is hoped that the club will develop a modern and unconventional approach to drama in subsequent productions. The intent of many participants is to assist the Drama Club in its theatrical evolution by creating an atmosphere which envelops classic and traditional theater and recognizes the influence and the vitality of the contemporary.

Now in its second year, The Sporting News contin- ues to offer the students an entertaining and often provocative look at amateur and professional athletics. The 'News is truly a student production in that it is initiated, organized, written, and printed entirely by students, asking the school for only the occasional use of the mimeograph machine. The weekly issue is the product of the combined editorial efforts of Howie Bernstein, and Vinces Burke and Vaghi. Howie and his talented cohorts deserve full credit for the success of the 'News, for they not only write feature articles, but supervise their staff and type up the stencils as well. Other regular contributors include Charlie fRutgensl Ebel, and Marc McKenna who, in each edition, honors a Prep athlete in his Player of the Week column. Trip Carr and Ed Machir keep us abreast of college competition, and Bear Favret's all-encompassing sports knowledge will seemingly never fail to fascinate his readers. Perhaps the most amazing incident connected with The 'News this year was Vince Vaghi's highly contro- versial prediction that the New York Jets would whip the mighty Colts. Vaghi's forecast met with derision, scorn, and even violence, but nothing could dishearten Vince. Noted Colt fan, Father Dugan, warned Vaghi that if the Baltimoreans won, You'd better not show your face in here Monday! Sunday's contest, however, bore all of Vince's pre- dictions true, and earned him even Father Dugan's recognition as the best prognosticator in the house. 100 Some observe Some work . ..

All in favor of flaming filet of yak, Peking style, on Wednesdays, raise your hands. A voice for the students . Rather than writing an article about the Student Council, the Cupola staff decided to alter its format in order to provide a more interesting and compre- hensive examination of the workings of student gov- ernment at Georgetown Prep. The following is an in- terview conducted by the Cupola with Brian Yore and Vincent Bernardin, the President and Vice-President of the Yard. CUPOLA: What do you feel is the role of the Stu- dent Council? BERNARDIN: I would have to say that primarily the role of the Student Council is to serve as a liaison between the students and the faculty, particularly the Administration. We work on the supposition that each representative will vote as he feels his class would, and that the class has some degree of confidence in him. YORE: I feel that the role of the Student Council is to act as an organized voice of the student body. When the students have some problem that they would like to see corrected, the Student Council is the group that they can go to which will organize some sort of plan to solve the problem. Of course, there are other minor responsibilities of the Student Council such as sponsoring all other activities and orientating the Freshmen to the life of a high school. 'r' Paragraph 30 Section 2 states that 'in the event of the death of the President, the Vice-President will assume all the responsibilities and privileges . . .' CUPOLA: What issues have come to concern the Student Council this year? BERNARDIN: We have been trying to work out a plan through which some seniors could be exempted from final exams. We have also been working on a board composed of both students and faculty mem- bers in which the students would have some say in certain disciplinary matters. As far as boarder privi- leges are concerned, we've been trying to make the check-in time a little later for Juniors and Seniors plus giving the Freshmen and Sophomores some degree of social freedom. 102 Sophomores: Dixon, MacSherry, Walsh, and Kom mer guard plaque commemorating Kelvin T.

To bridge the generation gap CUPOLA: What have been some of your biggest problems this year? YORE: Well, one of the problems we faced which really hurt was the change in the Administration. We felt that we had some sort of communication with the former Administration, and it seemed like we just had to start all over again. Another major problem was the lack of student interest. It just seems like they don't care what happens. For example, many classes were careless in their elections. They sent people to the Student Council who were not dedicated or even in- terested in their work. Usually they never report what is said in the meetings to their classes. Student apathy is really a tremendous problem, and as long as it exists, the Student Council, as well as any other ac- tivity, cannot function properly or successfully. 104 Yore and Bernardin spearhead Student activities. .t - CW-x' Current and world affairs When questioned about the Current Events Club, moderator Dr. Paul Locher said, I feel like a coach who has lost all his starting team to graduation. The Doctor was quick to add, however, that there was nevertheless a tremendous reservoir of talent mani- fested by the faithful membership of the rookie club. The format has been somewhat revised this year so that the students may discuss current issues of their choice in addition to the customary films and topics. One subject that the members explored was the social impact of drugs. The good Doctor hoped to take advantage of the high parental status of several parents of Prep students to take field trips to Congress and other points of inter- est in Washington. Best of luck, Doctor!! 5 Another means of artistic expression The film club is new this year, but is well on its way to becoming a lasting activity at Prep. The initial start is rightly credited to the creative genius of both Fr. Cusick and lVlr. Moran. Through thought-provoking films the club searches into the fanciful effects that can be attained by communicating with film. These films deal with a wide variety of subject matter, rang- ing from the conventional to delicate treatment of the surrealistic and absurd. At the present, the club plans to sponsor an evening of multimedia entertainment, and will present several films during the celebration of the Mass.

But they do possess one very important asset, their moderator, Mme. Germaine Nahmias. Under her direction they have created the most unusual association in the school. The club's raison d'etre, as described by Mme. Nahmias, is principally, to increase the vocabulary of the students, and to introduce them to French civiliza- tion. In order to accomplish this verbal proficiency, Mme. conducts word games such as Allez-oop, Jeux de sport and Pigeon vole, a Gallic version of Simon Says. Their cultural program is multifarious, with one of their activities being a course in cuisine containing recipes for Mousse au chocoIat and Canapes a la Lorraine. Socially, lVlme. Nahmias not only charms her stu- dents with her grace, but also with her knowledge of French customs and traditions. On the Washington scene, the social aspects of the club include trips to restaurants like the Maison de Crepes, tand hope- fully to Mmefs house for dinnerl, not to mention a Valentine Party offered by Visitation in honor of the club.

The Library Club greatly increases the student's familiarity with the use and organization of the library -a familiarity which is greatly needed for a truly suc- cessful scholastic career. The members also perform a number of services to the school such as: keeping an exhibit in the display case on the main hall, keeping order in the library at times when the librarian is absent, and doing things necessary to the general upkeep of the books in the library. Our Library Club has also visited a number of inter- esting places in the Washington Area, notably the Li- brary of Congress, and the National Library of Medi- cine. Also a number of discussions were held with the Library Council of Holy Trinity School in Georgetown. Although somewhat hampered by the fact that this was its first year, the Library Club, with the help of Mrs. Sheffield, pursued many interesting and enjoya- ble activities to the mutual benefit of both the modera- tor and the students.

The Spanish-speaking community at Georgetown Prep constitutes one-fifteenth of the student body. This year, two of its members, Arturo Calventi and Jim Holt, founded a Spanish Club to unite the group as an organization. Their statement of purpose is explicitly evocative of the atmosphere in the club: as stated by Arturo Calventi, We have an opportunity to increase an individual awareness of the nations we represent, and, as a result, develop a collective appreciation of the problems of the hemisphere. Perhaps more impor- tant, we shall attempt to acquaint the school, as a whole, with Latin America, through literature and cul- tural exhibitsf' The Cupola welcomes this new club to Prep's growing fold of extracurriculars. This year, the most important activity of the Social Action Group is the K-Street Project. On Saturday mornings seventy to eighty children scramble for a window seat on one of the busses that will take them out of the ghetto atmosphere. The busses proceed to one of the private secondary schools or colleges out- side the district line. After arriving at their destination, almost in mass the children are off the bus and ca- vorting in the grass or absorbing the knowledge and pleasure a tree can offer. Here, the children obtain a free meal tnormally the best opportunity to consume something of nutritional value throughout the entire weekl and most importantly, are afforded the affec- tion that they often do not receive at home. Another facet of the Social Action Program is the Student Scholarship Drive. The essential aim of the student-initiated drive is to appropriate contributions from the students in order that an underprivileged young man possessing a high sense of initiative may attend Georgetown Prep. A third aspect of Prep social action is still in its planning stages. It is known as the Office of Student Services and its goal is to gather all the social action projects of all the high schools in the greater metro- politan area in order that they may act more efficiently and effectively. Social Action at Georgetown Prep represents Chris- tian ethics in practice. It is not only an attempt to help out the socially and mentally underprivileged, but an attempt to stamp out the phlegmatic tendencies of some of the students of Georgetown Prep. ln short, those involved in social action consider it to be of such great importance that they believe it merits a place in the educational system of Georgetown Prep.

Can I touch it? This year's math club has its strongest roots in the sophomore class. Meeting every two weeks, moderator Thomas Wright is very successful in making this club both stimulating and profitable for all its members. Mr. Wright stresses the importance of the students chal- lenging each other with math problems. Besides the typical brain teasers and puzzles which often pop up, the club has been earnestly preparing for a National Mathematics contest in which they hope to gain esti- mable recognition as math scholars. 111 Prep's musicians keep up with the times Steve Ring plays the sax and piano, and Bob Perilla puts out a pounding drum beat, while Dave Straus and Michael Clagett complete the sound with their electric guitars. Other regulars include Jeff Ranta and Bill Sharek who help out on the vocal side. It is important to note that the Glee Club is no longer a mere facade-this year the boys involved ap- preciate the satisfaction that comes from music, and are genuinely interested in their activity. The Club has an excellent repertoire including Sunshine of Your Love , and a superb rendition of Going Out of My Head . This is an era in which music features a driving beat and the treble rhythm of amplified guitars is embraced by high school students everywhere. With this in mind, Mr. Joyce, the moderator of the Glee Club, has com- pletely changed the format of the group, and incorpo- rated the sound of electric accompaniment to his vocal troupe, which formerly depended solely upon piano. The Glee Club, which is more appropriately titled vocal and instrumental group , meets several times a week in an abandoned classroom in the North wing of the main building, and anyone who is interested is welcome. The informal structure has attracted many musically oriented boys, but, just as in any organiza- tion, there are always a few who form the core mem- bership. 11 The Glee Club: Thompson, Ranta, Gorog, Straus, Butler, Ring, and Sharek. Straus and Ring provide an impromptu concert. 2 A letter from the Editor The 1969 Cupola is the largest that has ever been produced by the students of Georgetown Prep. More extensive coverage of every aspect of Prep life has increased the burdens placed on each of the year- book's four staffs. The incorporation of color photographs, the use of professional photographers, and the addition of forty pages have all contributed to tripling the yearbook's cost. Tom Casey's Business Staff had to raise the ad- ditional funds to meet these expenses without raising the cost of buying a copy. Fortunately, they were able to meet this challenge, and the 1969 Cupola was a financial success. Vital to this achievement has been the valuable advice and assistance of lVlr. George Wil- liams, S.J. The Literary Staff faced a dual challenge. Not only was there more material to write due to the addition of new sections in the book, but our writers also had to strive to produce literature of the highest quality. Pete Kenney and Charlie Ebel put in countless hours in pursuit of this excellence. The casual reader will not recognize the amount of work that the Literary Staff must complete until he himself undertakes the writing of a 206 page book. One group of men whose work receives even less attention is the Layout Staff. However, they feel that if the reader does notice a layout, it must be improperly structured. Brian Conley, our Assistant Editor, felt that Even the still ice shapes the stone in its own peculiar fashion. this was frequently the case in past years. Therefore he set rigorous standards for that staff in order that unity might be maintained throughout the whole book. J. Brown, Charlie Traylor, and Mark Phelan labored diligently to meet these standards, not solely for Brian's edicts, but primarily for your enjoyment. l mentioned that we used professional photogra- phers this year. This was for the most part in the Sen- ior Section. The vast majority of the pictures in the Cupola are the products of Jim Waring's staff of highly competent photographers. Frankly, their pic- tures were often better than those of the profes- sionals. Perhaps there is some significance in that only a few students worked continuously on the Cupola, but nonetheless, this just makes their achievement all the greater. They have usually worked under adverse con- ditions. There was rarely enough help. They were hindered by even their own inexperience. They often had irresponsible staff members who slowed every- one down. lf you enjoy this yearbook and realize that it is the product of their diligence and talent, then the Cupola Staff will have achieved all that it hoped for. Regard each layout, article, or photograph as a work of art pro- duced by your fellow students. Applaud their creativity and hard work. Recognition and self-satisfaction are their only rewards.

Stimulating the interest of the student, however, can be an arduous task, even for our illustri- ous staff of crack Latin scholars. The first year course has been Fr. Brady's specialty for quite some time. His primary objective is to give each student a solid foundation in Latin grammar, and there is little mercy for the lethargic pupil who fails to master his declensions and conjugations. Fr. Brady and his partner, lVlr. Joyce, also give their Freshmen a taste of some elementary prose, and by the end of the year, in most cases, they have succeeded in preparing their students for the challenge of Julius Caesar. As you might have guessed, the Sophomore curricu- lum requires a thorough knowledge of that noble volume, The Gallic Wars, Caesar's poorly written trib- ute to his own military and political genius. Misters Moran, Nicolais, and Sehler supervise the course, which basically serves as an introduction to more diffi- cult Latin literature. A select few Sophomores, those who have clearly expressed an ambition to further their study of the classics, undertake a course in Attic Greek. Believe it 12 2 Sir, l'm not in this class Daydreams in a technological society Ebel dons his magic thinking cap. r 'N MW t l..- , 79? ' N ll., f' Mr. Sehler has an apparition. 123 or not, that is no small project! As in any first year course, the emphasis is on grammar, but in the sec- ond semester the students commence translating Xenophon's Anabasis. Now that the faculty has had an adequate sampling of student talent, it is time to separate the men from the boys. Junior year sees our pseudo-scholars divided into Advanced Placement and standard Latin classes. Those Juniors who ruminate the eloquent discourse of Cicero are fortunate indeed to have as their instruc- tor Mr. E. Dougherty. This magnificent Philadelphian fDougherty, not Cicerolis ableto rattle off page after page of Cicero from memory, and also provide his stu- dents with an outstanding historical background. Mr. Dougherty will seemingly never tire of reminding his classes that the only way to master Latin is by repeti- tive reading, but all to no avail! The A.P. course concentrates on the great lyric poet, Vergil. Mr. Sehler expects his subalterns to translate fifty lines per night in an effort to prepare them for the A.P. exam, administered nationally in May. Meanwhile, back in Greek class, those Juniors who have survived the two Sophomore semesters are busy hacking away at the enormous load of work Mr. Sehler has assigned them: Plato's Republic, various trage- dies, and the Odyssey of Homer. ln senior year, Latin is an elective encompassing the poetry of Catullus and Horace, and the history of Livy. Additional outside work is done by those seeking A.P. credit. I I I Philosophy adds a new dimension Well, gentlemen, in terms ol understanding, neither do I A.P.'ers are proud of their comprehensive texts. That most provocative and burning question, Why?' 124 to the English curricula Mr. Adler's philosophy course demands rapt attention. The six members of the English department at Prep try to fulfill some basic outlines for furthering the stu- dent's education. The freshmen begin by practicing the writing of coherent and meaningful sentences, in order to learn to express their thoughts succinctly. The students begin to relate to literature, learn its value, and acquire a taste for it. Sophomores progress to the composition of unified and meaningful paragraphs. ln addition to this they learn the how and why of literature-what makes it tick. Those in the eleventh grade begin to write short stories, and their own essays. The most frequent work becomes the literary evaluation. As far as literature is 125 lVlr. Burke ponders the meaning of existence. ..- 1. concerned, the student begins to decide for himself the quality of the work being studied. Seniors move even further into creative writing, pro- ducing short stories, essays, and plays of their own. Applying the principles gained in two previous years of literary training and evaluation, they write criticisms of the works of various authors, and use these ideas to improve their own work. An innovation in this year's curriculum is the World Literature course, taught to Seniors by Mr. Adler. Basically, this amounts to a philosophy course. The works of philosophers from Descartes to the existen- tialists are read, discussed, and evaluated. Lively arguments and discussions are often to be found in Prep's answer to group therapy! Aside from broaden- ing the general knowledge of those enrolled in the course, the theories learned in the world literature course help to accomplish the Kierkagaard's primary objective-self-knowledge. At the present time the department is beginning to use more audio-visual aids and team teaching. Indeed, this team instruction is considered one of the major aspects of the future English curricula of Prep. So, with all of these aims, the English department hopes to produce an articulate man, with an appreciation of lit- erature and the ability to express himself clearly and concisely. .. and Doc's guests tonight are: Cryspus Atticus, Ed Ruffin, and Samuel Elliot Morrison There is a certain intrigue to the past The History department offers three courses in its curriculum this year: American, European, and World Histories. As in the language and literature courses, these serve multiple purposes, both immediate and re- sultant. They form an excellent foundation for courses in the humanities and social sciences. As such, a study of history is instrumental in developing an ability to appreciate cultures and create perspective. A his- torical background provides the knowledge and expe- rience needed for the analysis of contemporary situa- tions. With this realization, the History department at- tempts to communicate the factors involved in the evolution of men and nations. The first stage in the program is the Freshmen course in World History, handled by Mr. John Nicolais, S.J. This course covers the foundations of world civilizations from prehistoric times through the primitive experiences which deter- mine their advancement as they acquire the character- istics of societies. The Freshmen study the modula- tions of these societies throughout the centuries, as man passes through the Greco-Roman, Medieval, Renaissance, and Modern periods. The American His- tory course, taught to seniors by the department head, Dr. Paul Locher, endeavors to exhibit the ascendancy of the United States. It is a basic course in the ele- mental determinants of this nation's history. These are 126 Doctor Locher speculates on certain ramifications even in the year 1969. Oh, that's an easy one , .

The goal is to produce students who can solve one unusual problem well, rather than twenty stereotype problems in the same amount of time. The curriculum is divided into two components, Standard and Advanced Placement, but each component covers more material than is adequate for college prepara- tion. The Regular Program has two phases. The first two years constitute the core of the curriculum with Alge- bra I and Geometry. These courses deal with the fun- damentals upon which all of higher Math is built. ln the subsequent two years the student may take courses ranging from Algebra ll to Calculus and Com- puter Math. Junior and Senior years involve less of the Hgrammar and structure, and more of abstract theory and concepts. They provide the student with the time and freedom to work in depth at as great a speed as he wishes. The A.P. program is certainly the longest, most diffi- cult, and at the same time the most challenging and interesting program offered here at Prep. Beginning in Sophomore year, the student is immediately placed in the absolute freedom of a college level course. He covers, in three years, the entire course covered by the Regular Program in addition to Differential Calcu- lus and Analytic Geometry. His entire course is pre- paratory for the Senior A.P. exam which, if passed successfully, earns advanced placement in college. 129 An insight into foreign cultures This year the Modern Language Department has ex- panded to keep pace with the growing emphasis on language in today's world. For the first time, George- town Prep offers a third year in a foreign language, be it French or German. Though relatively few stu- dents chose to continue their studies into a third year, an awareness of the necessity to provide an opportu- nity for extensive study in a language has been recog- nized at Prep. This provision attempts to meet the in- creasing emphasis on modern languages and the language requirements in college. But this department does not provide simply a language course. Consid- erable importance rests on the first word of the de- partment's title- modern ln Latin, the student stud- ies the Roman civilization, and the modern language department acts with the same design. lt too provides for the study of peoples' culture as well as language. Such an understanding as can be gained from inten- sive study of a foreign language is crucial not only in college, but also in any career a student might choose to follow.

But Madame, all I keep getting is the Barry Richards Underground Show. 131 T h So as you see with a gentle push the weight swings back and O r t e forth back and forth back and forth questions of the inquisitive mind The Science Department has designed its curricu- lum in such a way that while every student is exposed to the basics in this field, there is also the opportunity for those who wish to delve deeply into the more ad- vanced areas of study. A student begins his scientific career in Sophomore year with Biology, under Mr. Augustine Coupe. In this course, through classroom work and lab experiments, the student becomes familiar with a few scientific con- cepts and establishes a foundation for later study. ln Junior year the student progresses to Chemistry, with either Mr. Boyle or Mrs. Kelly as his teacher. As might be expected, the subject matter becomes more difficult and precise. Therefore, it is in this year that students discover whether or not they are inclined to continue in this field of study. Interested students may choose to take Physics as an elective in Senior year, while others study Advanced Chemistry. Fr. Murray teaches the Physics course while Mrs. Kelly handles Advanced Placement Chemistry. Build- ing on his previous two years, the student begins to do more extensive research on his own, thus making his studying more meaningful and more rewarding.

Although somewhat surprised at these de- velopments, Fr. AIagia's religion department acted quickly to encourage and stimulate this interest. The Religion department has begun to undergo a transition from a study of Catholicism to a course that explores student thoughts and attitudes. In the upper classes there is an increased sense of free expression on points ranging from the writings of Teilhard de Chardin to those of the contemporary existentialists. The administration has also aided in this transition by acquiring the services of John Breyer and Woodstock- stationed George Gilmore, S.J. The department has also encouraged the students to make their form of worship meaningful and contemporary. ln short, the aim of the course is to stimulate thought, helping the student to reason through the problems he faces in trying to follow a Christian life. The growth of student interest at Prep, and at other Catholic schools, seems to indicate that in our modern society, people are searching for answers and meaning in life, and a stimulating course in Religion in High School could provide this necessary dimension to the fully de- veloped student. 134 The religion program focuses attention on the Living Church The final touches 1 A ESEEESIK1 T T cl I I An idea takes form. Fr. Cusick expounds on some of the technical fine points of art. ' 1 4 .W ...S . lmfsl Lua The art program at Georgetown Prep, though in progress for more than two years now, is still in an embryonic stage. lt can evolve into many areas be- cause its direction ls not bound by a strict format. Fr. Cumck,head ofthm depanmenh saysthatthe pro- gram is of more value than many students realize be- cause it is becoming increasingly important to make todays woHd vBuaL Keepmg m nnndthatsome have declared the death of the printed word, Fr. Cusick says that Hnearthought pauerns are ghnng way to mosaic. Since this is the age of mass media, televi- mon,and psychadehas assauh on aHrnans senses Society's emphasis is not on art now. Technology reigns supreme. The disease of obsession with technology is now in full rage. But society creates its own antibodies to combat the disease. These are per- sonified by a rebirth of interest in art. This may be why the art program was begun at Prep. Eventually the course will embrace every aspect of the student's life and should be used by him as a mode of expres- Non. Due to a lack of coordination with the rest of the schooLthe program has depaned HOHIHS onginalin- tent. Time may affect changes in the actual layout of the course and more unponanUy,inthe ahhudes of those involved. Bringing the student's work out into the open B a necesshy From then Heshman yeah everyone is involved and actually working on some- thing as well as learning what art is all about. Sopho- more year is a continuation of the previous year's pro- gram, but new materials are introduced, and the lec- tures grow into more sophisticated art appreciation discussions. Unfortunately the art program does not embrace the next two years at Prep. What value the program is to us can be calculated by the factthat any skhm learned through it wHl diverge into other fields. Once the student has a feel- ing of doing something by himself, as he does in creat- ing art, he will transfer and apply this knowledge to whatever he is doing. The art course is far from being a time for recreation. In art the person penetrates his own personality, and instead of escaping his environ- HTGHL he entersit 135 ....

BEATTY, S.J., as Rector of Georgetown Prep is responsible for the overall opera- tion of the school. His duties include being Superior for the Jesuit community here, and consequently he must always be aware of the problems which confront it daily. But Father feels that his primary responsibility is to the students. He is constantly striving to open new areas of communication by any means available as is reflected in his always open door, and he considers none of the students' problems too trivial to discuss. Father's receptiveness and sincerity have contributed greatly to a student-faculty understanding. As he completes his third year here, Fr. Beatty is rec- ognized as a moving force behind Georgetown Prep's improvement, which in itself makes him a prize which the school could not willingly give up. When he came to Prep this fall, FATHER JOHN M. CARBOY, S.J. little suspected that he would end up as Headmaster in a matter of a short month. Father taught Religion and Latin to Sophomores until the mid- October resignation of Fr. Doty thrust him into that un- enviable position he now holds. Despite his experi- ence at the top spot at Loyola, Father found it difficult to handle the problems of Georgetown Prep. He has faced many a dilemma with regard to establishing school policy, but Fr. Carboy has the courage of his convictions, and always acted in accordance with his conscience, keeping the best interests of the students at heart. For this, he has been respected by all. One aim held by Georgetown Prep over the years has been the growth of boys into men , and certainly no man plays a more significant role in this develop- ment than FATHER THOMAS J. DUGAN, S.J. Instru- mental in almost every sphere of Prep life, Father han- dles the entire realm of discipline, prefects lunch and dinner, is the last word on corridor , is responsible for all checkouts and weekends , straightens out all laundry problems, moderates the athletic teams, and is present at every social and competitive func- tion. Because of all this contact with his boys, it is no surprise that Fr. Dugan is an eminent figure on cam- pus, but it is somewhat amazing that he takes a per- sonal interest in every student, from the most bewil- dered Freshman to the hardened six-year veterans. As you enter your third decade of service to Prep, the 1969 Cupola staff would like to thank you, Father, for a most rewarding four years. 138 FR. JOHN M. CARBOY, S.J., Headmaster Who belongs to this coat? FR THOIVIASJ DUGAN SJ Assistant Headmaster MR. JAMES ADLER is intensively involved with stu- dents in his capacities as an English teacher, as chair- man of his department, and as moderator and director of the Drama Club. ln addition, he leads the discus- sions in the experimental World Literature course. His interest and concern are distinguished by his sensitiv- ity, recognizing the importance of creating a rapport among students, the faculty, and the administration. He strives to establish courses which interest and stimulate both the teacher and the students. Dialogue and communication, lvlr. Adler proposes, are essential to the academic community. FATHER VINCENT dePAUL ALAGIA, S.J., best known for his work as the Freshman Religion instruc- tor and chairman of that department, also fulfills the very important responsibilities of being Prep's Student Counselor. His dedication in this field is exemplified by his continuing studies in Guidance at Catholic Uni- versity. Somehow he also manages to bring his devo- tion to individual problems and concerns into the classroom, making him one of the most respected men at Prep. Among the various new personages who arrived at Prep this fall, FATHER FRANCIS C. BOURBON, S.J. stands above all the rest in uniqueness and style. He comes to Prep by way of Loyola College where he served as Dean of Men. Although always busy at school, Father has maintained his position as chaplain of the Maryland State Police, and he is an honorary member of the Baltimore City Fire Department. These activities certainly lend themselves to his unique per- sonality, but Father's primary concern is for his Junior Religion classes and the maintenance of Prep's sprawling campus. It takes a big man to be able to mold all these activities, including his hobby of woods- manship, into one life. But Father has managed to do this to great success, and consequently is a welcome addition to the Prep faculty. , . MR. JAMES C. ADLER-English, World Literature Preps chemistry department has seen many new faces in the past few years, and MR. DANIEL J. BOYLE, perhaps the newest face on campus, has proven himself to be quite a personality. There is a great advantage to having young teachers on the fac- ulty, and lVlr. Boyle has certainly shown this to be true. Aside from his Junior Chemistry courses, Mr. Boyle has continued his departments domination of the Wrestling team, by acting as its latest coach. He is also noted for his fierce competitive spirit, as exempli- fied by his play on the faculty intramural squads. Al- though he hopes to enter Medical School next year, he will leave a lasting impression on all who have known him this year. One of the most important elements in a Jesuit edu- cation is a strong foundation in Latin, and FATHER THEODORE F. BRADY has the task of creating seventy classical Latin scholars out of the mediocrity of an incoming Freshman class. Father sets about his task as would any Roman tyrant, demanding total sub- servience from every student, and threatening the dis- sident with merciless punishment. Although it seems to be an ordeal at the time, one can always reminisce about Latin-1 with a smile, and in years to come, rely on Fr. Brady's fine training. Father's concern for his Freshmen extends into every facet of Prep life, and he is indeed a friend to every student at Georgetown Prep. A faculty presenting differing outlooks N... FR.

Upon entering the Soci- ety, he studied for two years at Wernersville, and re- ceived his degree from Fordham. A year later Mr. Burke earned his masters at Fordham University. Now Moderator of the Blue and Gray and Assistant Moderator of the Film Club, Mr. Burke is actively in- volved in school life. He feels that there is an incredi- ble amount of potential at Prep, and considers it his challenge to help develop that potential. Because of his untiring devotion to the students at Prep, MR. JAMES FEGAN is one of the most highly respected men on campus. As the school's Physical Education Instructor, he alone holds the responsibility of keeping us all in shape. A versatile athlete himself, Mr. Fegan helps instruct students in the various sports, giving special attention to those not athletically minded. Many young men have gone on to play an organized sport due to the interest aroused in him by Mr. Fegan, who has shown more than one student that he has abilities that he had never realized. Mr. Fegan is considered by many to be the finest gentleman at Prep, and the best coach in the area. Over the past year, the name FATHER DAVID P. CUSICK, S.J. has become synonymous with the liturgy here at Prep. Father's tenure as a Religion teacher has met with overwhelming enthusiasm and encour- agement from the students. Due to his revolutionary changes in the class format, the absence of textbooks, 141 quizzes, and tests, he is the only teacher who can boast that his class attendance surpasses the roll. Even more successful, though, have been Father's bold Liturgical experiments such as the midnight Masses which will hopefully become an institution. Father's talents extend into another department as well, for he is the Art instructor for Freshmen and Sophomores. Besides know-how, Fr. Cusick attempts to bestow an artistic sensitivity basic to the creative process, thus coordinating both idea and expression in an enlightening and stimulating course. MR. EDWARD DOUGHERTY, S.J. utilizes a unique approach to Latin literature in providing Prep students with the best possible classical background. An acknowledged master of Latin and Greek, Mr. Dougherty nears infallibility concerning points of grammar. lt is fortunate for his students, who are very conscious of the importance of appreciating the lyric flow of the Latin, that Mr. Dougherty's Philadelphia ac- cent is perfectly suited to recreating ancient Latin par- lance. Outside the class. Mr. Dougherty is Moderator of the Cupola, and is thus our answer to the infamous Miss Priscilla Goodbody. Over his twenty-three year tenure at Georgetown Prep, MR. AUGUSTINE J. COUPE has distinguished himself as an excellent Biology teacher and a very successful Athletic Director. Always on a busy sched- ule, Mr. Coupe handles all the games and meets, irons out scheduling problems, and administers to the vari- MR. AUGUSTINE J. COUPE-Biology, Athletic Director MR. PAUL B.

Cusick utilizes modern visual techniques to aid his students of Art ous needs of the teams. Between the classroom and the gym, he puts in more time here at Prep than any of the commuting teachers, and is frequently the last to leave the campus. Many people believe that in this era, Mathematics is the universal language, and this is certainly the case in the courses offered by MR. HOMAYOUN HOMAYOUNI, whose Arabic-tinged English is neither a barrier nor a burden to his students, but rather stimulating and enjoyable. Aside from his general lika- bility, Mr. Homayouni is noted for his progressive be- liefs in education. His ambition brought about Prep's first Advanced Placement course, Mathematics. It was the success of this program that led to the formation of the various A.P. courses now available. Further- more, Mr. Homayouni is always eager to help the stu- dents with any problem, and he seems to lend his joie de vivre to everyone he meets. What is the image of a Prep man? Gentlemen, I say to you .. For longer than most of us have lived, the Freshman classrooms have reverberated with these lines from the penetrating voice of MR. JAMES E. JOYCE. As a Freshman English and Latin teacher, he has the difficult task of disciplining the yet un- trained minds of the underclassmen. Mr. Joyce is also 143 NIR. HOMAYOUN HOIVIAYOUNI-Mathematics NIR. JAMES E. JOYCE-English, Latin Moderator of the Glee club, an organization in which he has had a hand for as long as anyone can remem- ber. Mr. Joyce is totally devoted to Georgetown Prep, and he is certainly a credit to the school that he does so much to improve. As head of the History Department, DR. PAUL LOCHER is responsible for the presentation of a basic knowledge of American, European, and World History to Prep students. Presently, he is instructor in Ameri- can and Modern European History, and sole history teacher to the Senior Class, most of whom experi- enced his World History Course as Freshmen. He is a stimulating pedagogue who communicates the domi- nant factors of history with an impromptu extemporane- ous technique which combines the difficult nuance and the anecdote. His Current Events Club is an effective ramification of the extensive education and perspective he exhibits in the classroom. FATHER D. BRADLEY MURRAY, S.J. is gifted with an extraordinary teaching talent which enables him to bring the complex phenomena of modern science within the range of each student. Father has a keen eye for innovation, and was the man behind the instal- lation of Prep's computer-mathematics program. Father lVlurray's contribution is not limited to the sc- ience department, however, for he somehow finds the time to film Prep's football games, and coach the Golf teams. But perhaps more important is the wonderful 144 The flavoring of various Ah boys, we gots some problems here. -Homayouni DR. PAUL R. LOCHER-History cultures rapport between Father and his students, a rapport which has made him a perennial favorite with the Sen- iors. FATHER ANTHONY lVlcHALE, S.J. seems to spend most of what could be leisure time faithfully at work, enlightening the Seniors on the intricacies of college entrance, and tirelessly processing their applications. As a teacher, he is unsurpassed. Father approaches every class with such enthusiasm, and presents the material so expertly, the student becomes oblivious of the fact that he is in a classroom. Armed with myriads of anecdotes, parallels, and bits of obscure informa- tion, Father gives one the impression that his knowl- edge of the subject at hand is infinite. Such dedica- tion, coupled with his sage advice and remarkable charm explain how Father lVlcHale has made such an outstanding contribution to Georgetown Prep. NIR. DAVID A. SAUTER, S.J. offers Georgetown Prep the erudition that accompanies a Masters De- gree in English, and the unaffected demeanor of one who studies human nature. In addition to his English courses, lVlr. Sauter has dabbled in Latin, and is, at present, teaching Sophomore Religion. Contorted into a large, untidy, blond ball at his desk, lVlr. Sauter fre- quently shoots incredulous glances at participants in the lively discussions so typical of his classes. An avid reader, and an absentee lover of the theater, he spends his free time following the infamous Prep De- bate Team up and down the Eastern seaboard. FR. D. BRADLEY MURRAY, S.J.-Physics 145 FR. ANTHONY l. lVlcHALE-French, College Advisor Last year in the person of Mme. GERIVIAINE NAHIVIIAS, Prep had gained something that had been previously lacking in the faculty: the feminine view point. Although the effects of this acquisition may not be immediately recognizable, they are numerous and widespread. The warmness and informal relation Mme. Nahmias extends to her students has resulted in an increased enthusiasm in French at Prep. In a more practible realm, Mme. Nahmias, the first lady on cam- pus, has done much to revise the French course. She is personally responsible for the addition of a Third Year course, and has founded an extra curricular French Club to further involve students in the lan- guage. New to Prep this year, MR. JOHN P. NICHOLAIS, S.J. has assumed the tedious responsibility of teach- ing Freshman History and Sophomore Latin. A Ian- guage enthusiast and a veteran of Scranton Prep and Fordham, he is primarily considered an authority on European History. His warm and personal understand- ing of the students' situation contributes to his ever- growing popularity. MR. MICHAEL E. SEHLER, S.J., although a Gonzaga graduate, has been completely swayed to a sense of total devotion to Georgetown Prep as he completes his second year here. lVlr. Sehler holds the enviable posi- tion of instructor and interpreter of the ancient Ian- guages, in addition to teaching the Senior German course. His poise and finesse extend from the class- IVIR.

Outside the classroom, Mr. Sehler also mod- erates the Junior Varsity Debate team in continuing his efforts to stimulate interest in this vital field among the underclassmen. FATHER JOSEPH F. SIIVIIVIONS, S.J. long respected for his frankness and sincerity, is now extending his sphere of influence beyond his famed German classes at Prep to Catholic University. Naturally, commuting between Prep and Catholic University considerably cramps Father's schedule, butnonetheless, he has as- sumed additional classes in Religion. This dedication to educational service has made Father Simmons one of the most esteemed men on the Prep campus. MR. CHARLES D. SULLIVAN, S.J., now in his third year here at Georgetown, is truly appreciated by his students. His approach to each of his Sophomore and Senior mathematics courses is characterized by a tremendous effort to present his material in the best possible way. Typical of lVlr. Sullivan's dedication is the hard work he has contributed in developing a workable intramural program and assisting coach Tony Carroll with Varsity Basketball. lt is a special kind of person who voluntarily organizes excursions to basketball and baseball games for his students, and lVlr. Sullivan has that kind of selflessness.

LENNON 81 MCCARTNEY STEPHEN WILLIAMS Washington, D.C. Another group of men have now reached another milestone. They have passed well and happily through a period of their life which is lived only once, and which has come to an end all too soon. An era of Georgetown Prep history has ended, and the class of 1969 has become a reality. But as each milestone is reached, another with its doubts and uncertainties is awaiting. After four, perhaps six, years at Prep, most of you have finally reached the final reward of gradu- ation, and the challenge of college, and, indeed, the challenge of adult life is now before you. For me, three years at Prep have flown by, and the challenge of theology and the responsibility of the Priesthood are now before me. Truly an era of Georgetown Prep history has passed. This fall Prep will go on, it will continue to fulfill its role, yet it will not be the same because seventy of its own will not be here in its day to day life. As we move on, we carry with us many memories of happy moments and hardships, all of which have contributed toward making us better men. Graduation is a happy yet a sad time: a happy time in the sense that it signifies the completion of a job well done, yet a sad time in the sense that our departure will end some of the closeness that has existed among the people we lived with and loved. My reflections on the class of 1969! For many rea- sons I feel especially close to this class. One of the main reasons is that I have taught all but seven or 19 eight of you at least one year, and many of you for two and three years. During these years I have seen growth: physical growth into solid, strong and healthy young adults, intellectual growth from the basic topics of Algebra into a capability of handling the abstract concepts of modern mathematics, spiritual growth which brings faith, self-knowledge and purpose. Dur- ing these years I have seen young people manifest sensitivity, a true interest and care for each other and the world around them. I have seen a young people with unlimited potential, a young people that I respect, a young people in whom I have the utmost confi- dence. Georgetown Prep is not the buildings and grounds located on Rockville Pike, it is the people who trav- erse these buildings and grounds, and Georgetown Prep was fortunate to have such a group of beautiful people as you. I will not forget the happy moments we shared. You have provided encouragement and confidence in my work, and I truly feel that I am a better person for having known and lived with you. This is probably the highest tribute that I can make. In conclusion, I see the class of 1969 as a group so richly blessed. Yet these blessings of faith, intelligence and freedom bring with them a challenge and a tre- mendous responsibility that you be a good and holy people of God. This is my prayer for you. Charles D.

Dougherty S J Moderator Mr. George Williams S J Moderator PHOTOGRAPHY STAFF James Byrd Bruce Grant Mike Feeney Roberto Suro Now-smoothed stone is carried into the main stream The design that is placed on the cover and divider pages is an artist's representation of a crude and unre- fined rock, smoothed and reshaped by the persistent current of a swift stream. This sketch is an attempt to symbolize the development of a student at Georgetown Prep. Just as the rock is plopped in a rivulet and affected by the continuous flow of water, so the stu- dent is removed from his environment of similarity and immersed in a new experience. This theme is conveyed throughout the book-in the pictures, titles, and arti- cles, this gradual metamorphosis is the essence of education. By comparison to other schools we are small, yet be- cause of the diverse backgrounds, personalities, and even cultures of our student population, we maintain the benefits that would be incurred by exposure to a larger student body. Our strength is a lack of numbers. Interested stu- dents are able to make a contribution to school life by participating in the various activities and clubs, and can always find an outlet for their particular fascina- tion. The small classes lend themselves to better com- munication between the teacher and his pupils, and re- lationships are more easily cultivated. Resident stu- dents are placed in a situation where close friendships will naturally develop, and over their four years they become a fraternity bound together by the many expe- riences and fond memories shared by all. The day stu- dent too makes the campus his center of operations, spending hours after school in the gymnasium, or per- haps working in another extracurricular. The overall effect of all these hours, days, and years spent at Georgetown Prep, however, is not one of uni- formity. There is no image of a Prep man, because the ideal of our education is to aid in our search to find that singular fulfillment each one must seek in life. Stu- dents are not forced into a mold, they are encouraged to develop as individuals. The point of all this is not to say that Georgetown Prep is the ideal school-that would be a lie. lt is merely a human institution trying hard to overcome its problems and attain its goals. There are the courses which are utterly fruitless, the teachers who struggle unsuccessfully to establish rapport with their pupils, the activities and teams which year after year wallow in failure, and the students who just don't care. These shortcomings, however, are a stimulus to those who have the initiative and ambition to effect change. In a sense, therefore, Georgetown Prep is a dynamic institution, for many are making an effort to improve what is lacking. The fact that so many have concern for their school is indeed a healthy indication. The Senior class this year is very much a part of this movement. After four years, Seniors have matured so that they are able to question the validity of tradition, and re-evaluate mores of every sort. The Prep student has been transformed so that he can use intelligence when he questions, and not search in vain for the an- swers he must find. The graduate of Georgetown Prep is yet not a com- plete person, but he has learned to appreciate what is valuable in life-to search only for truth, in a world full of hypocrisy.
