iR if 0 g 4- 2 ,X WQZZZ UNDER the guidance of Rev. 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

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 . . Jim Hession McGrath, Roberts, Page, Shea, Quigley, and Curry. s'

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.
