Brother John E. Ryan celebrated his dia- mond jubilee as a Christian Brother of Ireland. For ten of these sixty years Brother Ryan has served here at Iona, endearing himself to the students with his humor, fatherly advice, and wise counsel, To a scholar and friend, we would like to apply the quotation which appeared in the program of the Testimonial Dinner in his honor: They that instruct many to Justice shall shine like stars for all eternity. 24 Zuma pm 2, 2 N 1 7 THREE PARTS UNDERGRADUATES - FRESHMAN, SOPHOMORE, if JUNIOR-TO TEMPER AND SEASON SENIORS 79 I l 1 de ' fm Voacw e . . .

Under the guidance of its moderator, Brother Curtin, and its class president, Bob Dieck, vice-president Tim Tormey and Secretary Dan McLinclen, SAA has blithely proceeded to show the way in all phases of underclass activity, Scholastically, 3-A has never faltered in the acquisition of honor pins, consis- tently gladdening the hearts of the faculty by its successful efforts in that field. The coaching staff can point with pardonable pride to this class, for a goodly portion of its members can be seen or the sweat, slave and win athletic squads. lt is this precise faculty for hard work and faithful service, exemplified by 3-A boys, which has given Iona its reputation for fighting teams, teams which win or lose with the Iona spirit. 3-A, by its cnntributions of drive and muscle to all sports, has personified and maintained this spirit well, sw eh School days again for Tormey Focazio, Santangelo, Sweeney and McLinden Go C16 d S D S5 presffkxk E77 f .

Sh Math collects fares from S arnora, Maggs, Sullivan and Dombrowski, ON A bright and sunny September morning, this portion of the Class of '48 assembled for its third year of high school study and awaited its moderator, Brother Greene. Upon his arrival, elections were begun: the results found George Phillips, an outstanding figure in football and scholastics, Presidentg Joe Clark, track star, filled the Vice-Presidency and the post of Secretary went to Bob Sullivan. Lastly, the Treas- urer's chair was dusted off and mace ready for a J.

Our President is Dick Dowling, our Secretary, Jack Sparkman, and cure--the rest of our officers seem to have stolen away i'i the latter part of January, Indeed, due to something or other which occurs every year at about this time, students appear to be wan- dering aimlessly through most classes. But now we have a genuine phenomenon: 3-C harbors a number of people who look very much alike. There are the veteran Reid twins, Jim and Ricky, J.

The humdrum activity of school lessons can't squelch the humor and spirit of these boys who find an outlet for their energies in scholastic and extra-curricular activities. 2-A must indeed make Mr. Wolff happy for the track team can boast ot a large following in- cluding Tom McTigue, Dan Mahoney, Arthur Curry, Roger Williams, Eddie Hughes, Eddie Anglin and Frank Alliegro.

Now they have th'own off the uneasy attitude of new students and have taken on the air of confident upperclassrnen, oased on an assumption of responsibility and Iona spirit. They are now an integral part of a smooth-running or- ganization marking as its attributes scholastic and athletic achievement. Taking to heart the axiom that Studies come first , boys like Luke O'Neill and Emmet O'Connor brought glory upon themselves and their class by their high marks in attempting to realize this goal. Never let it be said that the boys from Room lO do not do their share in the struggle for spiritual and scholastic perfection, the primary end of lona training. Following in the footsteps of their predecessors, 2-B men have kept the spark of success aglow by their efforts and cooperation in the iwtensive pro- gram of activities.

After class, the athletic fields were graced by the presence of Jack Franz and Big Don Fullam on the varsity pigskin squad. Not to be outdone by their varsity brothers, Buddy Powers, the class Sec- retary, and Martin Gotte achieved fame on the very successful J, V. football and basketball teams. Baseball enthusiasts Frank Neary and Vice-Presi- dent John Donahue, sophomore edition of his brother, an illustrious Senior, helped complete the long roster which saw 2-B athletes participating in almost every sport Iona has to offer.

These words, from the Song of Iona Men , were not taken lightly when this portion of the Class of '50 first heard them sung at a Pep Rally. The boys proceeded to suit their actions to the words during their first semesters at the Prep. After the opening elections, the school year swung into- high and Class l-A jumped on to the band wagon as Freshman classes have done so admirably in the past. Honor pins were not uncommon in Room 8 during the year, for when the quarterly exams rolled around they proved no obstacle to the budding brilliance of its schol- ars. Scholastically, there were no complaints from the faculty when report cards were handed out. l-A found the activity program to its liking if achieve- ment is any measure of pleasure in one's work. The boys could be seen hard at work during these periods and by their efforts they contributed in no small part to the suc- cesses which are characteristic of Iona undertakings. Athletically, it was another chapter of the same book. Achievement seemed to hound l-A, for a goodly portion of its members nailed down berths on the typically suc- 42 Future first citizens . . .

Their victories on the field of sports were in character with achievements reached in other fields. lona's athletic future is assured as long as it can count on a lineup of fellows such as these. With one year behind them, they now enter into the exalted state of being upperclassmen. Their period of trial has been successfully passed. From now on it's clear sailing and blue water for these tried and true veterans, St. Columba can be truly proud of his sons, for they have done and will continue to do their best in all that they do. 43 Scully, McMahon, Vranka, Nesbitt, McGuire, Walsh, and Barrett turn their attention to a difficult one. lt's on the next page.

This could well fit the expected future of class l-B, for with such seeds of energy and talent as have been exhibited by its members, this Freshman group is slated for the top of the tree of success. Larry Quigley and Bill Braddock started the seed grow- ing with their honor averages after Brother Lopez broke ground the first day. As the year wore on, the branches of honor students, like George Roche, formed a sound basis for the leaves which were to follow. The activities blossomed forth in full glory with such budding virtuosos as Bill Dwyer and Vinnie Scully set- ting the pace with their close harmony in the Glee Club. The beauties of Nature are enioyed by Brosnan, Forsman, Hernandez, Dwyer, K. Ryan, De Maio, Roche, J. Ryan and Dahm.

The fruits of long labor were realized in the winning athletic squads, bolstered by the Freshman Flash , var- sity tackle Joe Leichtweiss. Pacing a mighty J. V. basket- ball team was Joe King, Hooks to the court enthusiasts. Other squads had their sprinkling of l-B members and bore witness not only to their athletic prowess but also to their new-found Iona spirit. From this auspicious beginning, the tree of l-B is cer- tain to wax strong through and beyond graduation. lt's no joke now when an upperclassman says to a Freshman, 'The greatest oak was once a little nut like you.

There is not space to mention everyone, but it is sufficient to say that our athletic achievements rivaled our scholastic record.

BARRY Moderator ONG before that back to school feeling permeated through New Rochelle and adjacent :ities that housed many of the Iona students, thirty-three fellows, Iona students also, had realized another feeling that they considered strong enough to make them leave summer jobs or vacation resorts to play a sport they really loved-football. lt was a big thing to them, for long after studies were forgotten and other memories of high school days passed, they would recall their service to the school on the gridiron. They felt those first hard days during the hot weather, when their heavy equipment clung to their backs already gleaming with sweat. They y felt also the aches and pains of condition- T T. T ing. But their great school spirit enabled them to take these things in their stride and go on until the day of the first game when they finally worked for the first time together as a unit. Their love for the sport carried them through eight undefeated and untied games. They were rewarded by honor and tribute. lt's over now but even though the equipment has left the school and the boys have gone on to other fields of endeavor there will always be remem- brances for years to come of the un- conquerable Fighting Irish of '-46 , Mana 54 f Qers: Connolly .int If BILL M MOR ost Valuable 5,15 Moderator layer Massmann Fan ' e Ili, Brown But kley Iona ,,,,,,,,,,,, Iona Iona Iona Iona Iona Iona Iona SCHEDULE AND SCORES Blessed Sacrament ,,,,,,,, ,,,,, Port Chester ,,....

This, the first game for the Prep, marked the fifth consecutive year that the Cardinals have fallen foe to Iona, Bill Morris, who was beginning his way towards becoming the best fullback in the Metropolitan area, had the honor of scoring the first touchdown of the year and from then on it was definitely the lrish's ball game, Jackie Moran was the second scorer of the year when he raced over soon after Morris's tally for one of his three scores of the day. Little Jimmie Moore set the people to their feet with a spectacular 70 yard sprint through the whole Cardinal team. Bob Sexton converted on three occasions to give the Irish their 39 points.

It was also one of the most thrilling games that any Iona fan has ever sat through. The Maroon and Gold were taken by surprise when Port Chester promptly raced 80 yards on the second play of the game for a touchdown. But the un- daunted Irish slowly but surely worked their way back up the field until Jackie Moran stepped over from the five and Bob Sexton con- verted to put the Prepsters ahead 7-6. The stubborn Port Chester line held the Maroon and Gold's forward wall and, as a result, there was no scoring during the second and third periods. History repeated itself soon after the beginning of the last quarter when Sapione of the Rams broke away for a 75 yard score and converted to put the Blue and White ahead I3-7. Iona once again displayed their strength by plowing steadily up the field to the forty yard stripe where Jack Moran raced over for the score. With the score deadlocked at I3-I 3, the extra point set the- rooters raving. The center pass was high and Moran, who was holding for Bob Sexton, was unable to hold it. The ball crawled into Sexton's hands and with some beautiful blocking he carried it over for the winning point. J ack MOYBH Bi!

The Gaels fought their usual hard game and gave the Iona eleven a hard time. Iona was beset through the first halt by a disheartening case of tumble-itis that re- tarded them somewhat, much to the advantage of the Bronx eleven. Late in the second half the Blue and White availed themselves ofa fumble deep in Irish territory and went on to take a six point lead. The Prep came back on the field after the halt a much changed team. Behind the brilliant linework of John Muhl- feld, Don Page, Dick Ahern and Ed Murphy, Bill Morris tore the Gael line to shreds. It was Bill who tossed neatly to Tom Carrigan on the l5 who plowed through a host of All Hallows tacklers for the score. Sexton neatly converted and Iona went ahead 7-6. Bill Morris went through the Gael forward wall for the second score and once again Bob Sexton split the uprights to give the Prep its final I4-6 win. The Irish had now only a week to wait to prove their superiority over the Cardinal Hayes eleven who had given them such a close 7-6 game the year before. 58 I in the HBYQS gsm? . V if Moran Stops to ISPLAYING strength and ability the Maroon and Gold romped over a strong Cardinal Hayes eleven to the tune of l9-O. The Irish backs marched down the field for three scores, all by the mighty fullback Bill Morris. The line, paced by Myles Reilly, Bob Sexton, Dick Ahern, Don Page and John Muhlfeld held brilliantly against the Hayes forward wall and allowed only minor gains on their part. The lrish's first score came late in the first period on an off-tackle sprint by Morris. Bob Sexton kicked his only conversion of the day to put the Prep ahead '7-O. By the end of the first half Morris tallied again, aided by the downfield sprinting of his co-captain, Jack Moran, and backs Tom Carrigan, Bill Golden and Tom Tormey. Through the third quarter a see-saw battle waged with both clubs playing solid defen- sive ball. Ends Bob Sexton and Zip Reilly tightened up and slapped down many of the Hayes passes. The fourth quarter allowed more offensive action and another tally for the Prep. lt was Morris again who skirted the end but the point fell short and the Irish had to be contented with a l9-O win. Now that they had completed half their schedule with four wins and no losses the Irish appeared set for another undefeated season. All eyes were now on the highlight of the year -the Mount game. The following week the Prep would travel to the Bronx to meet the team that had snapped their winning streak the year before by a one touchdown win.

From the very start the lrish left no doubt as to the outcome. Bill Golden, fleet-footed right wing-back, ran off right tackle, cut to his left and ran 37 yards for the first score. The next score followed a pass from the agile hands of Tom Carrigan to flank-man Bob Sexton. Bob converted after both touchdowns and the Prep led I4-O. In the third quarter the scoring resumed as Bill Morris climaxed a 39 yard drive by plunging over from the elev- en. The only Mount score came later in that period on a three year plunge by Red McGuigan, Tim Tormey fol- lowed this with his first score of the year by literally jumping over the goal to avoid tacklers after sprinting some 37 yards. Bill Morris calmly tore through for a l5 yard six pointer and Bill Golden ended the day's scor- ing by skirting the right end for the extra point. This climaxed one of the greatest wins of the season and brought the lrish face to face with Cardinal Farley Mili- tary Academy, a team that had never before met the Maroon and Gold. :ue i.icx.i-tue., .,-.M.,A., Bill Sherengos DOWER MEMORIAL was the next victim of the Iona powerhouse. Despite the fact that it was the muddiest battle witnessed since the All-Star game the previous year, Iona man- ied to work its way to 26 points. Power, one of the best defensive teams in the city, was 'iable to do anything against the speedy Irish. Bill Morris, Tom Carrigan and Bill Golden cked up four touchdowns and two extra points to give the Prep its 26 markers. Carrigan went 35 yards on a quarterback sneak for the first score and soon after,Bill olden repeated this feat by going over on a similar sprint. Bill Morris now began his touch- Jwn revue by breaking off tackle for 75 yards. BilI's second score also went off tackle for a rief five markers. On both occasions Morris shagged passes from Tom Carrigan to stretch is scoring for the day to I4 points. The final game of the year was now in view for the Irish, was, as usual, with their annual Thanksgiving Day rivals Georgetown, of Washington, D. C.

Once again it was scoring ace Bill Morris who ripped for three touchdowns. Bob Sexton converted twice and a first period safety gave the Irish their 22-O win. Although the line appeared weak in spots, actually it behaved brilliantly by allowing no yardage through the forward wall on rushing. lt was the line who put Farley back in its own territory and the two small but mighty guards, Dick Ahern and Bill Sherengos, pounced on a fumble for the first safety of the year. lt was another lineman, Don Page, who spread a hole big enough for touchdown Bill to break through, romp into the clear and race 75 yards for the first score. Sexton sent another con- version through the uprights and as the half ended the lrish were 9 points to the good. Action resumed in the second period with Tom Carrigan tossing to Bill Morris for one score and Bill going over unassisted for a final tally. Sexton converted on one of these oc- casions and the scoring ended at 22-O. Tim Tormey , 4 .e Moore g i ,Mes Rem, Q HE undefeated, untied season ended with an overwhelming 66-l 8 win over the Georgetown visi- tors. Bill Morris racked up 20 points to give himself lO6 points for the season and put him out in front of most Westchester scorers. Bill Gold- en and Gus Perna each tallied twice and single scores were netted by Bob Sexton, Don Fullam and Jimmie Moore. Bob Sexton started the rally by scooping up a blocked kick and rac- ing 5O yards for a score. The point fell short and the lrish went ahead 6-O. Moran scooted to the three with the pigskin and Bill Morris in turn bulled over with it. Sexton converted and the lrish moved into one of the craziest scoring rallies of the school history. Bill Golden started it by racing off tackle for 75 yards to pay dirt. Sex- ton converted and booted to the Hoya two where Eckert scooped it up and ran 98 yards for the score, The point was blocked and Mor- ris, scooping the Iona kick on his own twenty, ran beautifully to six more points. Sexton missed the point but kicked nicely to the Hoya five where Bergmann, like his running mate, raced 95 yards into touchdown territory. At this point the rally ended, but before the end of the half Bill Golden chucked to Don Fulam for another T.D. ln the last half Morris scored and converted, Golden raced 68 more Don PaQe yards and Gus Perna scored twice in a row to set the score at 59-18. Jimmie Moore scored the last TD of the year by sweeping the end for thirty-five yards. Thus ended a truly great season.

ONCE again the Yearbook was forced to jump the gun on the baseball team in order to insure delivery on time. There- fore, for the most part we can only forecast the outcome of the season. On April lst practice got underway with some fifty boys making their bid. Coach Caruso, the Mentor for the sec- ond year in a row, was faced with the task of wittling the team down to I6 or I7 of the top men. Aided by the skillful advice of Brother Curtin, the Moderator, he accomplished this very effectively. The hurling strength of the Maroon and Gold was centered around Captain Bob Sexton, George Phillips, Joe Marahan and Jim Donnelly. With one win already safe in his hands, Sexton has showed signs of a very good season. Bob's win came at the hands of New Rochelle High School, in our first game of the year. Sexton hurled a three hit 3-l thriller that went into extra innings. Strong Arm George Phillips also continued to burn them in all season. Joe Morahan and Jim Donnolly possess tricky along with other uncanny variations. Behind this quartet lie the catching strength of Eddie Brennan and Dick Ahern, two hard-working catchers as well as powerhouse hitters. Around the infield it was not an unfamiliar sight to see Bill Morris the teams slugger at first, Buddy Powers, Sophomore sensation at second, Tom Carrigan, a veteran per- former at short, and Jimmie Moore, the diminutive powerhouse covering the hot corner. Tim Tormey, Dan McLinden, and Dave Latimer were the outfielders and did a fine job. Tom Carrigan thrilled fans in the New Rochelle game when he slashed out three hits for four times at bat. lt was he who brought in Dave Latimer and Bob Sexton when he pounded out his third game winning hit. 73 X x fl' xlf l...'+4l .SS Q S, 5 w gf 3515 N' Q g X as vi X S4 Q2 Q 2 Q gg? w .1-. ww swab A wi 'X 'S 1 M If 'W jg, ,,., S I. 1' ' my A T M 'Es NN-Q-1 W:-'ef E1 Bellows, smarting from a previous defeat at the hands of the Irish, fought their way to an 8-7 win over Iona at Haag Field. This was simply a case of no scoring punch in the Irish camp, for although they scored seven runs, the hit total for the Prepsters should have meant .more tallies than were gar- nered. Although George Phillips pitched a superb game, his mates pulled some horendous errors to drag the crafty righthander into defeat at the hands of A. B. Davis. The Mount Vernonites skipped to a 4-I victory when some questionable fielding marred an otherwise perfect mound job. With Bob Sexton turning back the Mounties when the pressure was on, the Irish swept to an 8-5 win at McGovern Field. The hitting for the winners was rather evenly divided with six of the Prep heroes banging out solid base knocks. When the Cardinals of B S H S invaded Iona, Phillips dis- played all the tricks of his trade and a few new ones while handing the visitors an 8-3 setback. George went all the way, but it was not his pitching alone that sparkled. With the sacks loaded and two down, the Irish moundsman exploded a tremendous grand slam homer into the left field stands. Bill Morris also hit for the circuit one inning later with no mates aboard. The day before this book went to the press, Bob Sexton hurled a sweet 4-I triumph over the same Pelham team which had earlier held the Irish to the memorable 4-4 tie. Again the Irish jumped on the hit wagon by banging out seven safe- ties in the same number of innings. Tormey scampers home on a successful steal as Pelham catcher drops the throw. lArrow.l Dick Ahern dons the warm-up mit.

Early in the season, under the guidance of Mr. Jack Wolf, the cross country season began. At first the track aspir- ants were very few but after the football season the interest grew to greater proportions. The long since forgotten track act vity was marked by a few but yet successful meets. Led by talented Captain 'Artie' Anderson they competed in a number of meets and displayed some fine form. Leading contenders on the squad were: Bill Cushman, John Terry, John Haaren, Carl Landegger, and others worthy of mention.

After this moderate start, the track squad moved into a more eventful activity, indoor track, Despite the warning of Coach and squad the turwout continued to be small with the indoor squad composed mostly from the holdovers from Cross Country. However, the former outdoor men proved to be equally versitle indoors, On some occasions they ran at Madison Square Garden and, although the team did not win, individuals managed to garner a number of medals. Warmer weather brought a tremendous change in the cindermen. Brother Greene took over the coaching job and under his capable guidance the teams grew to much greater proportions.

Ten meets were planned and before the yearbook went to press one of them had already ended in victory, lt was their first meet against Rye High School who tell to the Irish 50-36. Iona showed strength in all departments and with this fine start in mind the team began to practice even harder in order to place in the large citv meets later in the season. . wt ' 2 ,f sm 'l af 3 it D Q . 1 I .

Bud Dockerill slams one BROTHER VAUGHN Moderator UCCESSFUL tennis teams are a tradition at Iona, and this year's squad was no exception. For the past seven years lrish tennis teams have reigned supreme, beating every challenger for their crown. Last season they were the undisputed champions of the Met'opolitan Area, trampling all opposition in the DeVVitt Clinton Tournament. Winning seems to be in their blood. Almost the entire all-winning team of last year again took the court, making the Irish odds on favorites to repeat their victorious schedule. Brother Vaughan's charges entered the C. H. S. A. A. competition, slated to participate in eight matches. Buddy Doclaerill, Tony Adams, and Donny Dockerill were the coach's choice for D k B e Magner Frank McCarthy, Don gfgnftf The Tennis 'cami T33 Adams, Bud oockeriii, Mike Lena ill, Bill HoffmaI'll'1, tw. PM AS! WALTER GODELL Manager e singles play, while Billy Hoffmann, Frank cCarthy, Barry Hynes, and Bruce Magner were close matches these boys came through with all- important victories, victories which enabled the Iona steamroller to carry on with an unbeaten record. Too often the doubles teams are over- looked, but here it would be an injustice to four scrapy, hard working racqueteers not to give full praise where it is due. Predicted to finish in their usual role of champions, the lrish lived up to their press notices by copping virtually every trophy in sight. Through their efforts the Iona archives are nearly full, with but just a little room for future addi- tions to the collection. A well-deserved bouquet to an unconquerable team, and laurels to their new coach and moderator, Brother Vaughan. 'Twas a job well done. Bill Hoffmann aces his first serve gned for doubles. To speak of champions, Buddy Dockerill lined county and state wide recognition as one the best court men in high school circles. His achine-like, faultless play made him a man to e feared when he began firing perfect shots in s singles duels. Tony Adams, a first rate player anybody's book, kept up his torrid pace of the evious season by blasting his way to many iportant decisions over Iona net rivals. The iunger edition of the Dockerill duo, Donny, ive evidence that he was not far behind his :ler brother by romping to some flashy wins number three singles man. Not to be outdone in the scramble for court umphs were the two doubles teams, paced by lly Hoffmann and Frank McCarthy.

Under the careful guidance of Brother Cur- tin, they organized a somewhat larger team than last year consisting of Freshman through Senior. Once again, this year they participated in the C. H. S. A. A. championship with only a few days in which to practice. This did not seem to phase the Irish mermen for, although they did not win, the trouped home with a third place and some 22 medals collected in- dividually by the boys themselves. The Irish Christian Brothers meet which took place down at the Rice High School pool also had a goodly number of medals but the team was only able to garner second place in this contest. The Freshmen were not to be outdone in this meet however, for they were not satisfied until they netted a first place trophy. XE S - f .wwf WM EMM, f K9 ,www ,ww K A . , E YQ 1 EE? ,,.k Weffizkiw L.

The team this year was Captained by Bob Dieck who is perhaps one of the best all around men on the squad. Their only loss last year was that of George Scanlon and Bill Betzig and these were replaced very handily by their equally talented brothers Bill Betzig and Don Scanlon. Betzig established a minor record this year by beating the recognized free style champion of the Eastern High schools in the C. H. S. A. A. champion, was composed of Bob distance man and managed to net two medals in a single meet. The relay team, which this year is the C. H. S. A. A. champions, was composed of Bob Dieck, Bill Betzig, Don Scanlon and Bud Dock- erill, They were at full strength all season long and as a result of their fine ability were able to show such a record. The diving was handled by the same men as last year. Tony Adams, Tom Flynn, Bob Dieck, Jack Creamer and Don Dockerill performed ad- mirably in executing those difficult one and a half's, jack knifes, etc. Flynn possesses the ability to spring high above the board before starting his difficult twists and utilized it to a very great extent. Dieck, Adams and Creamer, past masters of form and grace, helped to fill the Irish trophy case. The Freshman team was something new at Iona. Last year it was difficult to begin be- cause of the lack of Freshman talent but this year the Freshmen certainly proved their worth in their one meet. As we mentioned before, they walked off with the first place in this meet, which is certainly a fine beginning, This then is the story of another swim team that can boast a fine year and who will con- tinue their success next year. 7946 5 E' M C G d Capt.

These two coaches used their extensive football knowledge in the building of a successful team which won seven and lost but two games. The record in itself seems incredible mainly because they had to face the test of many varsity B clubs. The little-publicized forward wall had much to do with the winning of seven games. Such was the case in the bruising Mamaroneck battle which the lrish copped, 7-O. Another of the great achievements was attained in the l3-l2 victory over All Hallows. Spirited line play rocked the bigger Gaels time and again when it looked as if they would power their way to the lrish goal. Tom McCann clears the way for Reid Proving themselves a capable pair of ends, Martin Gotte and Frank Roche performed admirably at the important flanker spots. Bill Murphy held down one tackle post and on the other side of the line was Don Bainton, an equally rugged performer. The guard slots were manned by Tom McCann and Chris Cork- ery. Tom, a converted back, received the J. V. Most Valuable Player Award for his outstanding performance throughout the season. The center position was filled by Captain Lew Sullivan, who handled the pivot post on offense and backed up the line when the Irish were on defense. These seven stalwarts proved sturdy opposition for any enemy attack. Displaying an array of speedy backs, the Little lrish often scored with sudden swiftness. The T formation quarterback was either Paul Thomas or his able understudy, Al Lennon. Halfbacks were in such great abundance that many of them saw little action. Buddy Powers, Vinnie Scully, and the Reid twins, Jim and Rickey, were those who played the most minutes. A virtual unknown, Dick Shauder, galloped for three touchdowns in the 26-6 victory over A. B. Davis. This was a good example of the depth of reserves of the Irish team. The fullback line- 'bucker was the hard-charging Arnnie Cafiero. Cat was a thorn in the side of all opponents and caused them no end of trouble. After winning the first three games the Irish looked for- ward to an undefeated season. Scarsdale, All Hallows, and Pel- ham all fell before the onslaught of the Maroon and Gold steam- roller. However the high hopes were dashed as White Plains Al Lennon circles end against All Hallows handed the Little lrish their first setback, 29-7. Power Memor- ial next took the measure of the fighting J. V. squad by a close I2-7 count. The never-say-die spirit of the lonians brought them back to win the last four games. After turning back a stubborn Mamaroneck crew 7-O, the Irish avenged the only de- feat of the '45 season by belting Fordham Prep, I8-l3. A. B. Davis next felt the Irish power, and the climax of a brilliant sea- son was reached when St. John's toppled, 20-O. Next season the question will be answered whether this record can be surpassed. Many of these boys will be wearing varsity uniforms. lnto their vacant slots will step the numerous reserves and unknown newcomers, who will form another Fight- ing Irish J.

Gotte up for a layup against St. Agnes in game won by Irish THE l946-47 Junior Varsity season produced what may become one of the best varsity teams in Iona history. It is generally believed that the Irish had the second best J. V. in the county, Portchester being a very slim first. In losing but four of its twenty encounters, the J. V. rolled over Harrison, Salesian, New Rochelle, Pelham, Blessed Sacrament, and Sacred Heart twice and triumphed once each over Mt, St. Michael, Manhattan, Samuel Gom- pers, and St. Agnes. Portchester was the only quintet which was able to take both decisions from the Irish. The remaining two setbacks came at the hands of Mt. St. Michael in the season opener and Manhattan in a one point verdict. The outlook was far from bright as the Mount turned back Iona 38-34. Don Scanlon led the Irish hoop- sters with I I points. Travelling to Harrison, the Little Irish swamped the Harrison 5 by a 4l-I9 count with Joe King tallying I I counters. Don Scanlon's effective shoot- ing led the Irish to a 3l-28 victory over Salesian. Don swished I5 markers through the hoop. In the first home encounter of the season, Iona turned back a stubborn New Rochelle J. V. 24-I6. King, Fullam, Terry, and Braddock accounted for all 24 points with King getting 7, Fullam and Terry 6 each, and Braddock 5. Portchester gave the Irish a three won, two lost record by turning them back 25-I7. So evenly divided was the scoring that Joe King led with 4 points. The Irish got back to winning ways with a 29-2l triumph over Manhattan. Don Fullam was high man for Iona with IO tallies. Continuing on its way the Irish eked out a close 35-32 win over Pelham with Joe King and John Terry sharing scoring honors with I2 points each. An even closer battle arose in the struggle with Samuel Gompers which the Irish copped 33-30 in overtime. Don Scanlon's IO point effort was tops for the victors. Blessed Sacrament fell before the onslaught of the Irish with Joe King's 9 points leading the way to a 27-22 victory. The absence of two first stringers weakened the Irish considerably in the return tilt with Manhattan. Despite the 9 point effort of Don Scanlon, Iona dropped a close I9-I8 decision. The Maroon and Gold trampled Harrison for the second time 39-I4 with Joe King leading the scorers with IO tallies. The Irish thrashed New Rochelle to the tune of 4l-26, paced by Fullam's ll markers. Continuing to run up large scores, the Irish belted Sacred Heart 37-18. Scanlon, Powers, and Fullam led the parade with 9, 8, and 7 points respec- Braddock comes up court in New Rochelle game .l I Fullam waits for rebound of Scanlon's shot tively. The J. V. won its fourth consecutive game by a margin of I5 points or more when they turned back the St, Agnes quintet 34-13. Buddy Powers and Bill Costello shared top honors with 6 points apiece. Tied at 24-24 at the end of regulation time, the irish proceeded to hold Blessed Sacrament scoreless in the overtime period and win 30-24. Don Fullam's I6 point effort led the Maroon and Gold cagers to victory. Another i6 point effort gave Iona a 37-26 triumph over Pelham. This time Buddy Powers was the high man while Don Fullam snared l2 markers to take second honors. Trailing Salesian 9-3 at the end of the first quarter, the lrish rallied to win going away 4l-22. Joe King caged lO points and Don Fullam grabbed 8. Fullam and King again proved to be the big guns in the 30-26 win over Mt. St. Michael. Each tallied 9 points and Don Scanlon netted 8. Leading i7-3 at the first half, the Irish coasted to their ninth consecutive scalping, belting Sacred Heart 29-2l. Jack Franz and Don Fullam tallied 7 and 6 points respectively. Trailing i9-8 at the close of the third pe'iod, the Irish cagers made a desperate bid to overtake the Rams. However, the rally fell three points short as Portchester won out 23-20. Don Fullam's 8 point effort was tops for the losers. This was the one and only home loss of the year for the Maroon and Gold courtmen Misfortune overtook the lrisl' early in the season when Bill Braddock, at that time a member of the start- ing five, suffered a leg injury. Bill came back at the lat- ter part of the year to once again take his place on the quintet. During his period of recovery, the Irish first team was composed of Scanlon, Terry, Fullam, King, and Powers. High scorer of the team was Don Fullam with l3O points in l8 games. Trailing him in second place was Joe King and third was Don Scanlon. The many reserves who performed so capably were Jack Franz, Martin Gotte, Bill Costello, Dick Crabtree, Vaughn Cronin, Don Dock- erill, and Bill Quirk.

In its first year as an activity the club made progress, primarily in the training ot underclassmen for tu- ture use, and this year the organization has won recognition as one of the main contributors to the success of the Iona News and the Saga of Iona. Much of the photographic work appearing in these two publications has been the results of the efforts of the Camera Club, which will certainly grow in importance in the coming years. The officers of this year's Camera Club in- cluded John I-Iaaren as President and Robert Sul- livan as Secretary. Richard Tovin, Bill Daly, and Robert Wietzke did a great deal of the photo- graphic work tor the Iona News and the Yearbook. Other promising photographers were Joseph Gan- non, Anthony Math, David French, Richard Mc- Cooey, Robert McCooey, Ed. Carey, Robert Flynn, Donald Scanlon, Joseph Gallager, and Robert Maggs. Captain . . THIS year's cheerleading squad was an exceptionally large one, being made up of fifteen mem- bers. The group, one of the most active in the school, was captained by Jim Hession, and was composed almost entirely of new members. Other than these novice recruits and Jim, were three veteran yell-leaders from last year's squad, namely Bill Samora, Art Curry and Eddie Roberts. Because of the inexperience ol the squad, practice began very early in the year so as to be prepared for the football season. Contrary to many expectations, the cheerleaders were not only ready for the season, but had also learned several new cheers. These additions, originated by Jim Hession, made use of acrobat cs, but could not be used often, because of adverse weather conditions during the games. With such results from a green squad, next year's seasoned unit will be an even greater asset to the school. J MCMBHOHI Captain Jim Hession and Alden. Kelly, Qunnlam, V . .

Brother Lopez, the Iona Poster Club has completed its task ot building up school spirit during the past year admirably. The members drew posters to foster interest in all the various events throughout the school year. During the football season, the group adorned the halls with multi-colored drawings on each game. Among those most active in this work Michael Wright, Larry Glynn, Thomas Mauchly, Gus Perna, and Gerard DeLabry. The club continued this work through the bas- ketball season. Then as spring approached, the club took on the tremendous task of advertising the G. I. P. presentation l-l. M. S. Pinaforef' Mark Hurzeler, Ernest LoNano, Michael Sullivan, Thomas Creamer, and John Reilly excelled in this type of art. Michael Santangelo and Michael Wright handled most of the tedious work such as fully illustrated cartoons and the drawing of the backgrounds. Paul Rodriguez, who did all the foreign language posters, Thomas Martin, Gerard Cuningham, Joe Leichtweis, Joe Nesbit, Richard Gates, and Nester Hernadez also were active in the year's work. The Poster Club has done much during the year to bolster stu- dent spirit in every undertaking. Bro, Lopez 103 ....,,,, Back. Row: G. Vargis, F. Roche, C. Remuzzl, W. Grifall, R. Oehmsen, E.

With this thought as a motivating factor, Br. M. P. Burns conducts this elocution class. James Baisley presides over the class while Miley McMil- lan ably assists him, and Jack Franz holds down the 0 double job of Secretary-Treasurer. c Selections from both poetry and prose have been recited, with humorous pieces coming from the lips of Dick Barrie, Phil Franzoni, George Senger, Bill Lynn, and Vincent Leggiadro. More serious poems occupy the talents of Dan Mahoney, Tony Cueva, Joe McCann, John Fitzpatrick, and Tom McTiqueg while Barbara Frietchie has become synonymous with Clint Remuzzi. A number of debates have been conducted con- cerning topics which range from Communism to baseball. Through these informal debates Luke O'Neil, Ray l-laaren, Herb l-larkins, Bob Unsworth and Kevin Ryan have been found to possess con- siderable talent in this field. Sports topics have by no means been neglected, and in this subject George Parker and Ed Roberts are well informed, Tom Fitzpatrick and George Cole follow the netmen, and Ed Hughes specializes in yachting. Dick Oehmsen is a first rate hunting en- thusiast, Mike Lenahan talks a fast game of tennis, and Harry Barret holds a distinct interest in cur- rent events. Valuable additions to the class because of their versatility are Bill Grifall, Tom Daly, John Dona- hue, and Frank and George Roche, also Lorenz Brosman, Paul Forsman, Antonio de Ynchausti, and Bob Sposato.

The object of these speaking sessions is to correct flaws in grammar and diction common to its members. The class consists mainly of Juniors, from whose ranks many fine speakers have arisen, and who offer excellent examples to the Freshmen and Sophomores who have had little or no experience with this type of endeavor. These upperclassmen include John Sparkman, whose humor and verbal eloquence have become well known in Room 5, and who together with Sparky helped initiate the year successfully. The Sophomore Class has also contributed a number of notable orators in Richard fpreamblei Hynes, Jerry ll protest! Killcullen, and Bill Cos- tello, whose stirring speeches frequently won the praise of his classmates. Other notable members of the class are Joe Mor- ahan, Jim Reid, and Dick Lenihan. Besides these, many Freshmen have distinguished themselves. Of these, however, much will be heard in the coming years. ln all, Mr. Nardonne's period on Monday, Wed- nesday, and Friday is one which exerts a cultural and useful influence upon the students. ,C gg. :fad 704 7 of 7mm peep IONA SCHOOLQ NEW RO CHELLE Volume VI I I, No. IO June, I947 Lead Articles by Loftus Aside from columns and features, the main events of the year, such as the Senior and Junior Proms, were covered with efficiency. The St. Patrick's Day Parade, the Retreat, and the G, I. P.'s Pinafore were well covered for the front page by Senior Dick Loftus. Equally well done were the ar- ticles of interest chiefly to the parents-Mother's Auxiliary, Father's Council, and the Parent-Teachers Association, as well as other events cluring the year. News Puts Out Record Nine Issues A new feature made its debut with the sixth issue called How About You? Bob Curry, Assistant editor of thc paper and also author of the Alumni News col- umn, collaborated with Pat O'Neil to quiz members of the faculty and the student body on their likes, dislikes, and opinions. The two in- quiring photographers dis- covered many interesting angles on Iona, its habits, and its paper. This column really made the News Of, By, and For the students of Iona Prep, Assistant Editor Bob Curry and Editor Jim Hammon decide the next issue. EDITORIAL For the second consecutive year a Hammon has reigned as Editor-in-Chief of the Iona News. Jim Hammon took over the administration where his brother, Bob, had left off last year. Jim pro- duced many editorials and book reviews of distinction. In his editorials he embraced such important topics as vo- cations, the Retreat, missions, and education. This and his column of brief book re- ports, Best Sellers , were not his only chores. In ad- dition, he prepared the paper, the layouts and articles, and took general charge of the numerous and burdensome tasks that go with the job of Editor-in-Chief. CAPABLE DIRECTION MAKES NEWS SUCCESS As Moderator of all the school publications, Rev- erend Brother I-lickey guided the Iona News and the Saga through the uncertain beginnings and steered them over rough seas until they were able to pro- duce on their own. Brother Hickey applied the firm hand when it was needed but he let the staffs use their own ideas in turning out two highly successful publications. The Junior Staff of Curry, Becker, Mclnerney, Cracoi, and Williams talk it over. IO6 Moderator Brother Hickey Big Five Report Campus News Among the underclassmen on the staff were three promising sophomores, Roger Williams, Noel Becker, and Arthur Curry. Jay Vee Sports, News Notes , and other front page scoops were well written by this trio. Two talented Freshmen, Louis Craco and John Mclnerney, provided the paper with in- teresting news of the Gram- mar school, Midget sport activities, the Mother's Aux- iliary and the Father's Coun- cil. These five greatly con- tributed to the interest of the paper.

At every game of the year, regardless of the sport, Unsie was on hand, gathering information for his column. After the basketball season he compiled a com- plete list of the individual varsity scores, game by game, an instance of his diligent sports coverage. Pat 0'NeiI, music critic, fondles a Como release. Photogs Toven, Wietzke, and Daly A great part of the pictures used in the school publications were shot by the roving trio of Dick Toven, Bob Wietzke, and Tom Daly. Toven, the number one camera man of the group, filled the Pic- torial Editor's post on the yearbook staff, while Wietzke and Daly did the lion's share of the photos Pen and Pencil by Scully and Anderson The Press Club would not be complete without these members who contributed their originality. Al Scully and Artie Anderson earned much praise for their cartoons which appeared in each issue. Al drew realistic sports cartoons while Art provided humor on Iona life in his clever drawings. James Hession, who earned the title Poet Laureate of lona , wrote the poetry for the Iona News. which appeared in the News . Columnist Paul Votano Personality Parade The Iona News would not be the same to many lespecially the Seniorsll without the Personality Parade. This year the credit belongs to Paul Vo- tano and Jerry Donohue for their consistently fine work on this column. Each Senior received a good write-up despite the limited space. Columnist Jerry Donahue juie Bw Weed Pat O'Neil lextolling the merits of a Perry Como rec- ordl provided the music lovers of the Prep with some popular and timely reading. His column, Juke Box Pa- rade , covered everything from the latest popular rec- ord releases to the classics. In addition, Pat revealed a hidden artistic talent by doing an admirable job of appropriate thumbnail sketches which appeared in his column. There must be a joke somewhere-Brophy and Fix. IMIEMGDHERS The laugh department was under the jurisdiction of Jerry Brophy and John Fix. lThese two also doubled up as Exchange Editorsl.

This year the Glee Club undertook a most difficult pro- duction, especially for an amateurgroup: Gilbert and M, Whne Sullivan's Operetta, H. M. S. Pinafbreu. Many hitherto ' unencountered problems had to be 'solved in staging such a musical. For example, all the clfxaractersihad to be able to sing, as well as act and for this reason all male parts except one were given to members of the Glee Club. 9' After a few weeks of work, Brother Hickey took over the direction of the entire procliuction and began the diffi- cult task of selecting suitable vocalists for the main parts. Not being.ab-Ietct find a soloist capable of singing the part of Ralph Rmfksfraw, it was necessary to turn to the col- lege, where, fortunately, Michael Rotando volunteered to play the part. As usual, the feminine roles were por- trayed by girls from the College of New Rochelle, who gave admirable perfqffftances. Jean Gulltirian played the feminine lead, Josephine, while Nancy Spain and Peggy Camarata ably handled the parts of Buttercup and Cousin Hebe, respectively. The greatest difficulty encountered was in the selecting of a singer to play the part of Captain Corcoran. Finally, after several other candidates had been given trials, James Hession was chosen for the part. Jim is well remembered for his interpretation of the Whiffenpoof Song in last year's G. l. P. production. His performance as the Captain was worthy of any stage.

H5 G . State Senior Champion THIS Year, as has been customary in the past, Iona held a three day retreat. Under the guidance of Father Browne, the lona men spent these three days in earnest prayer, conferences, religious readings, and meditations, The retreat began on Novembe' l2th and ended with the Papal blessing after Mass and Benediction on Novem- ber l5th. All scholastic matters were put aside during this period of spiritual reflection. Each morning Mass and Communion were offered and there was an edifying response on the part of the students. The Sacrament of Penance was proffered every day be- tween conferences and after the fiwal services of the day. Devotions included in the daily schedule were Stations of the Cross, the saying of the Rosary and, the concluding function of the afternoon, Benediction. At the conferences Father Browne discussed Commun- ion, Penance, Sin, the purpose of our creation, our duty to God and ourselves, and our duties to each other. He stressed the offering up of our wtole day to God as one prayer and he reminded us that we cannot enter Heaven without prayer. ln the time alloted for meditation, be- tween the conferences, the students were allowed to visit the chapel or to read one of the many religious pamphlets distributed about the school. The number of students at daily Communion insured the success of the retreat. For the graduating class it was the last retreat at Iona and a very satisfactory one. In future years they may look back on these three days as most vital to their spiritual lives. The purpose of creation. CI Sanctus Dominus vobiscurr we ' IN EARLY October the Sodality of Our Lady of Perpetual Help inaugurated its second year at lona. With Brother Greene as its moderator again, the first meeting was held on October l5th in the auditorium. At this meeting, which over one hundred members attended, a of officers was elected for the year. Jack Moran, Ed Bren- McCann, and .lack Sparkman were chosen President, Vice- President, Secretary, and Treasurer, respectively. obiectives of the Sodality are to aid in the sanctification new slate nan, Tom The of its members, to participate in as many phases of Catholic Action as possible, and to sponsor various social functions. During the regular monthly meetings controversial religious and social topics were discussed by the members. The various subjects treated were all timely and interesting. At these meet- ings two dances were planned and a committee named to com- plete the arrangements. Both dances were successful, socially and financially, be- cause of the work of .lack Moran and the other members of the committee. The profit on these affairs will be used for charitable purposes. The Sodality this year was a great success. The sodal- ists by their attendance at the meetings and the whole- hearted manner in which they participated in the activities accomplished the very end for which the Sodality was organized. Br.

This tremendous undertaking gained for its crew the rec- ognition that no other show could possibly equal. There was glory and praise for everyone, from the lead soloists to the smallest soprano in the supporting Glee Club. Never before has there been such an achievement in the annals of lonag never before such a gigantic task of production, Assuming the role of Ralph Rackstraw, the lead in l'l. M.

But let's pause for a moment before we pass on to our forthcoming cycle, and take a last look at this period J which has transferred us from seriocomic youth to sober young manhood. As Freshmen, we were first indoctrinated into the routine and activity of high school life. Frankly, we were somewhat awed at the prospect of the higher educational life that loomed ahead of us. We were deeply impressed by the activities going on all around us, and by the spirit which seemed to animate the older students. That fall, the number of Freshmen at the football games gave evidence that we had caught the lona Spirit . Naturally enough, those first exams were difficult, but they helped us to realize that we had passed from a care- free life into a more serious one. With the final exams the year ended, leav- ing us with a feeling that we had finally become an integral part of Iona. While as Freshmen we of the Class of '47 had been lowly and submissive, as we entered upon our second year a definite change was clearly evident. lndeed, we were probably a very obnoxious group of braggarts in spite of our ample self-esteem. This swaggering spirit is the usual thing with sophomore classes, however, so we could not be considered as a total loss. ln fact it was I during this year that our class became recognized as a necessary factor in the various school activities. While as a group the class reaped a large amount of credit and honor, certain from amongst our number obtained personal distinction. That year the lona football squad had a sprinkling of sophomores within its ranks, with Billy Morris holding down the fullback position. Bob Sexton and Jackie Moran earned reputations on the basketball and track teams respectively. ln the annual G. I. F'. musicale Chester Peet gained renown in the Band and Paul Balze won acclaim as a member of the Glee Club, while Bob Curry had the dubious honor of playing the hinder part of Meatball . That is how it was, the class of '47 took part in every activity in one way or another. ln fact, we were so preoccupied with ourselves that before we realized it the final exams were over and we were Juniors. The football season in our third year was highlighted by the performances of Bill Morris and Jackie Moran, who were now known as lona's own touch- .

The 'basketball team was dominated by the Junior class with the names of Adams, Hoffman, Hammer, Sexton, Moran, Flynn, and Brennan shining like stars. On the track team, too, the Class of '47 seized honors, with Jack Murphy and Carl Landegger pacing the rest. Still other Ionian Juniors distinguished themselves duri th b l Nick Ahern and Jimmy Moore. ng e aseba I season, and among these were ln June we had completed three tiring years of work and eagerly looked forward to the comparatively simple final lap in our struggle. However, our intention was not to be lax in this final year, and we entered it with a spirit of confidence and determination. Senior year, the all-important goal that has taken us many long years to attain. This year, through the combined efforts of the Senior Class, Iona has roduced o t t d' p u s an ing personalities, scholastically, and in the field of sports. The Father and Son Dinner, held at the Glen Island Casino, commemor- ated the undefeated season of the football team, which was sparked by such great players as Bill Morris, Jack Moran, Jim Moore and a host of others. We owe a debt of gratitude to our fine coaches, Mr. Ken Germann and Mr Vin- cent De Fiore, for their splendid work in leading the team to victory in every game. On December 26, the Senior Class, with Bob Sexton and Jack Moran heading the committee, added to its achievements by presenting the annual Senior Prom. In February Greater Iona Productions presented Gilbert and Sullivan's H. M. S. Pinafore. The combined talents of many of the seniors, the Glee Club and the band, made the operetta a tremendous hit. Running true to form, the -basketball squad, backed by Tony Adams Tom I Flynn, and Ed Brennan, and coached by Mr. Pete Caruso, turned in a very suc- cessful season. ln June, we took our final high school exams and began preparations for the future. We, the Class of I947, having attained another goal on the road to man- hood, now wish to express our everlasting thanks to those who made 'these years a success, and especially to the Brothers of Iona, without whose guid- ance, our efforts would have been in vain.

The first team saw Mitchell May and Lee Lahey at the end positions, while Jim Martin and Dan Collins combined to form a formidable pair of tackles. Flanking Mike Mallon at center were guards Jack Kneuer and George Prince. The backfield had Dave Smith at quarter, Jim McLoughlin, Ed McKenna and Pete Brunemeister alternating a't the halfs, and Ducky O'- Connell at fullback.

The Irish iumped to an encouraging start, as they breezed to two slick triumphs in as many starts. The season debut saw the Pelham Pirates hum- bled to the tune of l2-4, behind the effective hurling of Jim Martin and the devastating clout- ing of Sluggers Buzzy May, Dave Smith and Ducky O'Connell. The big guns with the stick, O'Connell, May and Martin, coupled with the one-hit pitching of Lefty Lahey, enabled the Midgets to win again over the frustrated lona Freshmen, The lineup includes Jack Kneuer, George Prince and Charley Booth stationed in the outfield, O'Connell handled the initial sack, while Delaney at the keystone sack, Smith at short, May at the hot corner, and McLoughlin and Mallon handling the tricky deliveries of Lahey, White and Martin. l 1 198 2? . ,.. t-r 3 Q ,as-nr, w4::- Nye 3' 5- gg av- '- . .
