During this time we have experienced hopes, joys and deep spiritual ex- periences which will never be forgotten. As we go forth into life we shall always cherish the lessons, the fine fellowship, and the way of Christian living that is Iona. Dedication We, the Class of l952, dedicate this yearbook to our Beloved Headmaster, Reverend Brother Richard J. O'Kelly. This dedication is our humble token of gratitude, which seems insig- nificant when we consider the eternal debt of thanks which all of us owe this great teacher. Brother 0'KeIIy, loved and respected by Iona men for the past six years, has played a major part in molding the minds and characters of all of us during this time. Although we of the graduating class leave Iona this June, our mem- ories of this saintly man will abide with us throughout our lives. -' i a, yer 'lb I' Q Reverend Brother ' Richard J.

Senior Class History Who were all those people striding along the hall, heads up, chests out, a knowing light in their eye? What classrooms would they be going to? Certainly they Couldn't be freshmen. They didn't have the shy hesitancy and clumsy awkwardness we did. Finally the mystery was Solved. They were the upperclassmen-breezy sophomores, confident juniors and lordly seniors. To them we were, or at least we thought we were-mere nothings---shadows Hitting past the doors. But we were determined to escape our anonymity at the first chance possible. Our class began to develop as an Iona group under the leadership of Tim Flynn, Bert Corbalis and John O'Connor, our first class presidents, back in the Fall of l948. From that time on we had a sense of class unity and spirit that flourished and grew stronger as the months passed by, thanks to the guiding hands of Brothers McDonnell, Haggerty and Acker. Potential gridiron stars began to emerge in the persons ot Al Glennon, Hank Margotta, Frank Claydon, to name but a few, Able supporters of the track team were Bill Treanor, Ed Morris, and Don Connors. When basketball season came around, we provided such stars as Bob Doherty, Dennis Donovan, Jim Mc- Loughlin, and Joe Dinolfo. We proved ourselves true lona men by taking part in Glee Club, Dramatics, Poster Club and many other activities, which showed a high participation by members of the Frosh class. We could look back on our first year at Iona with pardonable pride in our achievements and confidence in the record we would make in the years ahead. As Sophomores we could boast of the football prowess of Myles Amend, Jack Devine and Jack Rice, spurred on by the cheerleading of Joe Nuvolini, Bob Juergens and Gerry Shea. Frank Campbell, Mike McMahon and Bob Smith contributed their artistic talents to the poster club of which Bill Lane was president. Owen Mandeville, Bill Tate, Alex Popper and Barry Monaghan emerged as ardent disciples of Demosthenes in public speaking and elocution. The Glee Club numbered among its voices those of Bill Irwin, Don Ball and Gerry Merz, while Vincent Minor and Pat Salotto displayed musical talent in the Band. We enjoyed the school play that year, especially since the blonde bombshell in it was none other than Hugh Kelly. Jo McOwen was a Soph representative on the tennis team and Bill McGuire starred on the diamond. As we approached exams in June, we were aware of a great feeling of pride in knowing ourselves to be and being known as Iona men. ln the Fall of l95O we had attained the prized status of upperclassmen. It was now our duty to take the lead in school activities and we had certainly proved ourselves worthy of this responsibility. John Duffy, Bob Fortini, Gerry Schaumber and Ed Gaffney led the hill and dale men, while Tony Piracci, Carl Wildermann, Ed McKenna, and Jack Rice sparked the football team. Tom Comparato, Larry Collamore and Paul Martineau earned berths on the Varsity l2 and J. V. basketball teams. Don Ewald, Jerry O'Leary and Don Heithaus were kept busy recording events for the yearbook, and Jim Mullen, Dave Schlaak, Bob Neville, John Kopins and Carlos Polo participated in Science Club activi- ties. The Poster Club drew out the artist in John Faup, while the Patrick Henrys of the Class were Ernie Wolfe, Bob Corcoran and Jim Hanley. When we were finally privileged to present a Junior Prom, under Bert's expert chairmanship, we realized the wealth of talent our class possessed. Bob Bundschuh, along with his committeemen, won laurels for the decorating scheme of April in Paris . As the warm Spring air brought the more avid baseball fans to the bleachers, they saw the Juniors ably represented by Jimmy Vaughan and Bob Konopka. And so we came to the end of an eventful and happy Third Year. As we stood on the brink of our last year, in September of l95l, we found it rather startling to realize that no longer would we look up for the example of Seniors, but instead would be the guiding spirits of the School ourselves. A new organization was introduced at Iona this year-the Student Council, under the guidance of Brother Ruane. With Bert as its head, it made rapid progress in establishing a basis for good student relations and self- government. Bill Cleary and Earl Johnson were among the very capable officers of the Council. As the football season progressed, the Varsity, with John Manning as manager, proved itself one of the best in recent years. Allie Glennon received the most valuable player award, while Myles Amend and Ed McKenna were named to the Metropolitan All-Star squads. At Thanksgiving, the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin prepared baskets of food to give to needy families. The chief officers of the Sodality were Bert Corbalis and Dick Tedesco, who cap- ably carried out their responsibilities. The Glee Club was in particularly good voice this year, under the direc- of Brother Castle. Bill Pagen and Mike Meany were among the Senior of the songsters. At Christmas we held our Senior Prom.

Sophomores As we, the sophomore class of 303, return ed in September of this school year, we seemed once again to be entering the school for the first time as we moved up to the second floor and into the select company of the Juniors and Seniors. Then we had the added novelty and pleas- ure of meeting our new teachers, Brother Duggan, Brother O'Neill, Mr. Martin and Mr. Agoglia, I think that we can safely say that all of us benefited from their fine example and teaching this past year. The new subjects, Geometry and Biology, presented a problem for a short time but after a while we became used to them and this problem soon vanished. On the whole our class may look back upon the year l952 with pride in our accomplish- ments in both athletic and scholastic fields. The J.V. baseball, basketball and football teams were enriched with the talents of various members of our class, as were the Track, Tennis and Bowling Teams. In short, this year has been a very successful one for the members of our class as they showed themselves to be true Iona men in both the classroom and on the ath- letic field. We all look forward to our .lunior year at Iona, confident that we will overcome all of our trials and give added prestige to the name of Iona. 48 E5 ..

Class 2C started the second successful year at Iona. Under the able leadership of our homeroom teacher, Brother Otto, we elected our class officers. Jim Ryan was elected President, Dick Steele as Vice President, Bill Balet, as Treasurer, and finally Mat DiGiorgi as Class Secretary. September found many talented members of the class holding positions of importance on J.V. Football team. Some of these athletes were Wally Walbridge, Jack Schlotter, Dick Steele, Dick Goggin, Tony Poglinco, Bart Pennessa and Bob Dallenback. Ray Konopka and Bob Shan- non were the only class representatives on the varsity teams, football and basketball respec- tively. Spring has already found many aspirants out on the Varsity and J.V. diamonds. Out- standing bowlers were Vincent lndiveri, Paul Morrissey, Andy Marshall and Wally Walbridge. ln intramurals, 2c's Barracudas were also on top in the Sophomore division. We of ZC, having completed a very successful sophomore year both scholastically as well as athletically, look forward with eager anticipation towards the coming Junior year. 50 Pete Duffy, Tom Farrell, Ray Konopka Don Hoffman, Bob Shannon, Bart Panessa.

Frosh On September lO, Brother Moore welcomed thirty-three freshmen to Iona Prep. Thoughts of future years at lona and what they would bring was perhaps, the thought predominant in the minds of the majority of the boys. A few days after school began, class elections were held. Bill McBride was elected Presi- dent, while the officerships of Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer were filled by Ed Kelly, John Stout and Donald Gilles respectively. The glee club claimed most of our talents, but 2Ol was also represented in the Poster Club, Public speaking and Debate. lA has also distinguished itself scholastically. A good percentage of the boys were win- ners of scholarships and four boys, Bill McBride, Ed Kelly, Andrew Connolly and Owen Reyn- olds obtained consistently high grades. Our acheivements, however were not limited to the classroom. 201 was well represented on the jayvee football team and the freshman basketball team, swimming and track teams. We will never forget our freshman year at Iona and we are happily anticipating our future years at lona Prep. 52 George Collamore, Don Gillies, Pete Sullivan, Bill Fallon, John Gleeson. ike Comiskey, Bill Bradley, Andy lssola, Mike Marra, Ed Carrol, Ed Kelly. 53 ff,.....q,l Front Row: Bill McBride, Tom Kennedy.

Soon after school started we elected class officers. President, Richard Porterg Vice President, Robert Schaeffer. Scholastically, we have tried to live up to lona's standards, and judging from the fact that six of the men have attained honors, we feel that we have done well. Robert Schaeffer has done much to help make our class one of the top classes by winning the public speaking contest, open to freshmen and sophomores. Autumn afternoons found Fred Cuneo practicing with the iayvee football squad. Our hill and dale men, Frank Ryan and Gene Gunn were also working out at this time. As winter approached, our thoughts turned to basketball and swimming. Three of our classmates were members of the frosh basketball team. They were Waters, Joyce and Coffey. The members of the class are looking forward to the spring baseball and track. Many of the members of the class participate in the various activities. The members ofthe glee club are: Mullin, O'Brien, Dunbar and many more. We have many representatives in the camera club, too.

Though fresh out of grammar school, we quickly adapted ourselves so as to fit into lona's curriculum. This year began with the election of class officers. These positions were ably filled by John T. Onuska, President, Arnola Mathias, Vice President, Bob Cullen, Secretary, Frank Borelli, Treasurer. The sport season started off with a bang. Those men of the J, V.

Fros ln September, l95l, we the students of 202, under the supervision of our home room teacher, Brother Castle, met and acquired a great feeling of good fellowship. Our first work as a class was to choose officers who represent us in school affairs. They arei Richard Gorman, President, Phil Winters, Vice President, John Treanor, Treasurer and Roger Gaire, Secretary, As the year progressed, the combined efforts of Burt Burtis, Ernie Pacchiana, Phil Winters and Gene Langbein helped to bring success to our athletic teams. But our accom- plishments were not limited to athletics. Ben Ray Arkinson, John Treanor, Joe Corcoran and Richard Gorman brought scholastic credit to our class by achieving honor marks. The field of music was not neglected neither having been represented by about a dozen members in the Glee Club. If this unity and good feeling continues to exist between the fellows, as l am sure it will, Room 202 will indeed be a credit to lona Prep. 58 .uf a lw ms Front Row: Dave Gaffney, Phil Winters, Pat McFadden Ed Bullard.

For the most part we were strangers. However we all had a singleness of purpose to try to contribute as much to lona as we expected lona to give to us. Proceeding in this direction, Brother CastIe's glee club was swelled by the lusty voices of Gerry Boll, Dutch Broderick, Mike Calderazzo, Jim Gould, Bill Jones, Willie King, Tom O'Brien, Vinnie Ross and Big Vin Slattery. Much of the inspiring music of our band came from the talented lips of Arthur Tommy Dorsey Celona and Bob Justin on the trumpet while Tom Morris handled the clarinet. The hills and dales of Van Cortlandt Park and of the Westchester courses carry the imprints of the flash flying fleet of our trackmen, Dave Gracey, Windy del Prior, Specs Mullen, Mike Gallagher, Bob Oliverio and Captain Dick Barry. Jerry Finneran and John McCabe were towers of strength on our jayvee grid team, while Sets Romeo and Taps van Bearen swished the chords for the frosh basketball team. Our intramural basketeers are fighting violently for the crown with John Conway, Marty Neary and Jim Robinson, with captain Bob Cella. Willie Whelan, our miniature Patrick Henry promises to cop the next oratorical contest after this years near miss. We placed nine men in all on the select Honor Roll. They are Bill Whalen, Joe Romeo, John Mullen, and many others, including Vinnie Slattery. 60 S 4 I l 5 lg ESS Kneeling. Dave Gracey, Bill Whalen.

XZ, f x 'JR This Year's football cannot be called great when compared to the powerful juggernauts ot lona's past Golden Era of football, but in place of the ZOO pound lines of those days, the l95l team substituted a great and unique spirit. Everyone, lfrom the captain down to the last sub, played for the team. A typical example of this spirit was the election of Hank Margotta as captain. The ballot was unanimous, with not one dissenting vote, ln Mr. Germann's own words, it was A great tribute to a great player . Even though the team did not compile an impressive record and although they lost a few heart-breaking games, you can be sure that every last man who was on the Varsity, is proud to have played on the l95l team. lt's all over but the memories. b -qg ' ,..'

E. I. DUGGAN Most Valuable Player Moderator I I C O O O O O O 66 Things don't always go as planned. On a rainswept field, lona opened its l95l football campaign in fine style by thoroughly whipping All Hallows. Although the Bronxites held a definite weight advan- tage across the line, the scrappy lrish for- ward wall, led by Eddie McKenna, quickly took control. They consistently opened holes for Allie Glennon and Claude Gianino, the latter registering the first score of the year on an off tackle slant from ten yards out. The conversion attempt was blocked. With just a few minutes left in the first quarter, Gianino ran to a first down on the Blue and White I5 where an exchange of fumbles gave us a first down on the l2. On second down, wingback Steve Corkery ripped through the left side of the line for lona's second tally. Fullback Allie Glennon blasted his way over for the extra point as the period ended. Early in the third quarter, All Hallows blocked a Costello punt on our l6. Due to the bang-up defensive play of the lrish line they failed to capitalize on their break and were driven back to the 32. No further scoring took place until late in the fourth when a stubborn opposing line staved off four lrish thrusts on their own two yard line. Coach Germann sent a whole new team into action and on All Hallows' first down, their star back, Bean, was snowed under in the end zone, giving us a final I5 points. lona l All Hallows O 'W X I -K HANK MARGOTTA Captain ,a J MYLES AMEND EDDIE MCKENNA O O 0 O I Iona Stepinac On October I4, the Fighting Irish of Iona met their arch-rival, Stepinac, on a sun-drenched gridiron at Iona. The situation of last year was almost reversed, with the White Plains team being the powerhouse and Iona the weak underdog. At the end of the g who witnessed the battle had to admit that the luck were with the Crusaders that afternoon. Aghe rec- ord shows that the Irish outplayed their muc 'f bigger opponents in every department but the big one,2' amely the score. Stepinac's scores came only during momentary lapses in the fast-moving, spirited defense which stopped the Crusaders dead several times. Their first score was set up by a I5 yard roughing penalty, their next came when the green Irish line froze as a Corkery pass, was intercepted allowing a guard to run it back 40 yards for the score. Stepinac's third score was set up by an off- side penalty on a fourth-down Crusader punt while the last came when an Iona back fumbled in our end zone. On the offense, Iona moved well against the 6, 7, and 8 man lines used by Stepinac. Fullback Allie Glennon led the way, scoring three touch-downs and playing a bang- up game on defense. Down at one point 24-7, our boys thrilled the crowd with a fighting spirit that brought us to within one touchdown of victory. We lost possible scores when the first half ended with us on their I2 yard line and another when quarter-back Margotta did not see Lane clear in the Stepinac end zone. Moral victories don't look so well in the record book, but the Irish surely had no cause to be ashamed of this game, g e, all C ods of es BERT CORBALIS I k ly ., Iona O Cardinal Hayes 27 Out to betterrtheir I and I record, the team next traveled to RandaIl's Island.

Although Chami- nade was the best team on Long Island, the Irish were confident. They were the under- dog again but they were determined to make a tight of it. From the beginning, it was clear that Hayes was out to keep their reputation clean. They blocked well and hit hard and their weight advantage took effect. Though Iona 'fought tooth and nail, Hayes was the better football team. Although they beat us badly, they didn't push us around. We handed out a lot of punishment and took a bit.

This proved their downfall, as an inspired Hackle team battled our team to a 6-6 stalemate. Sparked by thei captain Eddie Wilson, the Hornets refused to let lona scor until the second half, when both clubs scored minutes apar Our play was marred by numerous penalties but the tea just couldn't catch that spark so vital to good football. early Hornet threat was squelched when the Irish line hel at our 20 and another later in the first quarter when Hackly fumble was recovered by our line. Early in the thi period ClaudegGianino and Allie Glennon moved the ball a first down on their ten, but a desperate Hackley line he us on their one foot line on fourth down. The Horne fought their way out to their own l8 when end Jack Ri pounded on a fumble, giving us possession. Steve Corke and Glennon carried to a first down on the two, with All banging over for the score on the second down, The important conversion went wide. Moments later as the fi quarter began, Hackley, drove deep into the Irish territo A Kearny to Wilson aerial gave them a first down on o l5. Another Kearny pass put the ball on our 9, then t line thrust carried through to the 3 yard line. On the n play, full back Mike Carroll plunged over. The Horn tried to run the extra point and were stopped short of t goal line by the Irish line. ln the waning minutes, teams were unable to threaten seriously as an exchange interceptions snuffed out two potential touchdowns. 70 CLAUDE GIANINO fb. BILL FITZPATRICIS Iona 20 Xavier I2 Playing in the mud, the Irish of lona gained their second win of the season by downing a big Xavier Military Academy team. Sopho- more sensation, George La Pera led his mates to the victory with two thrilling touchdown runs. The Irish outplayed their guests in almost every department and held them to one pass completion in ten tries. Early in the second quarter La Pera ran through the Xavier team for a 52-yard touchdown. This play was set up by center Billy Fitz' patrick, who intercepted a Cadet aerial on the SO yard line. Konopka's attempt for the conversion went wide. ln retaliation, Xavier's great halfback, Gene Hourican plunged over from the six, culminating a 63 yard drive. The try for the extra point failed. The third period saw the Maroon and Gold tally again through the fine passing of Hank Margotta, with ends Rice and Deignan on the receiving end. It was Deignan who grabbed the scoring toss, while Ray Konopka's toe accounted for the conversion. La Pera crossed the goal-line for the second time in the last quarter. He picked off an Xavier pass and when end Richie Maddox removed three hostile players with one block, he went 48 yards for the score. Again Konopka's aim was true, making the score 20-6. In the waning minutes of the game, Hourican, never giving up, drove his team 60 yards for the final touchdown of the day. fi E Wy JACK DEVINE X Iona 20 St. Francis O Fullback Allie Glennon sparked the Fighting Irish with his usual bang-up play in our victory over St. Francis of Brooklyn. He missed a first period T. D. when he fumbled as he plunged over the goal line, but Myles Amend quickly pounced on it for the score. In the second quarter, tackle Jack Devine picked off a Dolan pass on his own 36 and streaked downfield to what apparently was a lineman's dream. But a clipping penalty on the i6 nullified the score. The first half ended without any further scoring as the second half progressed, Joe Gaine waged a punting duel with Ken Connors of St. Francis. On the final play of the third quarter, Steve Corkery intercepted another Dolan pass and raced 70 yards for a touchdown. Ray Konopka's placement was good. The Terriers tried to get moving as Connors took to the air. The stout Irish line began to rush him and Glennon picked off a pass on our 28. We were stopped on our own 49, but Joe Gaime was roughed on the punt giving us a first down on the St. Francis 45. On second down, Glennon knifed through right-tackle, cut back, and went all the way for the score. Once again Konopka's kick was good. lona was on the Terrier 22 yard line when the final gun went off. The scrappy Irish forward wall, sparked by end Richie Maddox and little Eddie McKenna, held St. Francis to 55 yards while we piled up 203 yards. ji. ona Blessed Sacrament I3 if N ,- We still don't know what happened. wg N, Q e'ee Xl' X LaPera clears the way for Glennon v , f N x gf-NY GEORGE LA PERA X3 w h f,. 1 I q-nf., Q lf: fr 1 -k ,Ani U., A meme MADDOX L x,,, 1 Q we ,.

After only four minutes of play, a N.R.H.S., pass to Duwarte clicked for a TD with Carlo LaPerra con- verting. Five short minutes later, New Rochelle got a lucky break which eventually meant victory for them. Joe Gaime punted to their 35, where they fumbled and we recovered. But the luck of the Irish didn't seem to be with us today, for Iona was ruled off-side on the play, and on Gaimes next try, the kick was blocked and rolled out of the end zone for a safety. As the first quarter came to a close an Irish fumble was re- covered by the Purples and New Rochelle's all-county lineman, John Simmons crashed his ZOO plus lbs. over for a touchdown. In anger the Irish line arose up and smothered the conversion attempt. Midway in the third period Iona began to show their old form. Billy Fitzpatrick pilfered an Anderson aerial and sped 45 yards to their two, where he proceeded to fall daintily to the ground with no .one near him. On the next play Allie Glennon bulled over for the score setting the spark to a rally that was to carry us to within one point of victory. Konopka's placement was good. Soon after the Irish struck again. A jarring tackle knocked the ball from Vann'S grasp and we pounced on it. Three plays later George LaPera took a pitchout from Konopka and raced 36 yards for the score. Ag ' Konopka booted the point. Iona was racing against time, but New Rochelle desperately hung on to their one point advantage until the final gun was sounded.

Under his mentor- ship, our JV compiled a 3-3 record. As always they were pitted against varsity B squads, making the record an enviable one. In the opening game against Stepinac, the Crusaders made a fateful conversion to win 7-6. On their next outing, the Lil' Irish thrashed a Cardinal Hayes team, 37-6. ln fine style, the club swept through Fordham 627-6l and Blessed Sacrament ll9-Ol. In the final two contests, the tables were turned on our junior footballers. They were turned back by a very good New Rochelle cluB6-3, and by a power- ful team from Mamaronecklto the tune of I9-O. Coach Kirnard's starting eleven had Bob Heggy and captain Joe lhlfeld at the flanks, while most valuable player Sal DiBuono and Kennedy held the fort at guard. At the pivot post was co-captain Don Hoffman. The team was quarterbacked by Tom Farrell while the halfback slots were filled by Ernie Pacciano, and Phil Winters.

The l95l-52 lona varsity basketball team will be written into the record book as the greatest to ever take the court for our school. Under the superb coaching of Bob Kirnard, the Irish cagers compiled a record of l6 wins and 3 losses during the regular season. They became the first lona team to receive an invitation to the Eastern States Basketball Tourna- ment, held annually at Glens Falls, N. Y. In opening the season the team thoroughly outplayed and outclassed Sacred Heart, beating them by a score of SO to 47. Next came wins over New Rochelle, Fordham and Bellows. Then came a heartbreaking loss to Horace Mann, The team got back into step with wins over Concordia Stepinac, Harrison, Sacred Heart, New Rochelle, Stepinac and Columbia Grammar. ln their first encounter with Blessed Sacrament, the team played well, but it was the Cardinal's night and B,S. came out on the long end of a 56 to 53 score. In a slump, the squad suffered a humiliating defeat from a weak Pelham High School quintet. The game was marred by sloppy play and a very poor shooting percentage on our part, while Pelham had a hot day. After such a jolt, the Fighting Irish came off the floor and blasted their way through Hackley, Harrison, Blessed Sacrament and Rye, thus ending the regular season with an impressive l6 won--3 lost record. ln the Westchester Private and Parochial School tourney, lona was paired off against Stepinac, for its first game, whom we had beaten twice. The Crusaders grabbed an early lead and played a very strong game to retain that lead to win by 2 slim points, 48 to 46. With this defeat ending the season on a sour note, the irish looked ahead to better things. 79 MIKE MCLOUGHLIN i I O .evnv f it: ' at X 1 L N , 6 we N f X Q ., I ' Q BOB SHANNON 1-7 Dinolfo gets a deuce 'WRX .4 -5 MATTY MCLOUGHLIN Shannon hits with a jump shot LARRY COLLOMORE L-2 81 Y r 3' Ffngf, 'i Sfls is !4 affQQ S' 1 ' Nl! sw 55 is f lu, it .

On the 26th of March, they were sent off amidst the cheers of their fellow stu- dents, to be followed the next day by about twenty determined backers. lt was our misfortune to draw the defending champs, St. Thomas More of Philadelphia, for our initial test and although the boys, led by Eddie Bugniazet's i6 points played a whale of a game, the Golden Bears were the better team that night, winning 55 to 4l. The following morning the team received Holy Communion in a body and despite their setback, vowed to win their two remaining games. On Friday afternoon, the Irish of lona opened their determined drive for the Consolation Tourna- ment championship by downing Canisius Prep of Buffalo. Again Ed Bugniazet paced the team, this time with 20 markers. The game was a thriller all the way with Captain John O'Connor's masterful passing and generalship leading the way to a 46-44 overtime win. In our next outing, against Monsoon Academy of Massachusetts, once more the Irish outpointed their opponents 'by a count of 80 to 70. As usual Bugniazet played a mar- velous game, once more basketing 20 points. He was. not the high scorer however, for Big Jim McLoughlin tallied for 37 points, setting a new school record and missing the tourna- ment mark by one point, lt was the most points scored by any player in this year's tourney and was a truly great performance. On Saturday night, at a banquet held in the Queensburry Hotel, where the teams stayed, Captain John O'Connor accepted, for Mr. Kirnard and the team, the trophy symbolic of the Consolation Tournament championship. On this triumphant note, the Fighting Irish from lona rang down the curtain on the greatest basketball team in the school's history. 3 1 if ills s, 0 o o Eli? y ls M..- s. wi 'ig Q .

V. aggre- gation in the history of Iona. Their I6 wins against 2 losses has never been equalled since the start of basketball at Iona. The source of this fine record was the fine coaching of Brother Moore. Working with the squad since November Brother Moore formed the squad into one of the fastest and most well conditioned junior cagers in the county. Two points for Burtis The Little Irish gained double over Blessed Sacrament, Harrison, New Rochelle, Sacred Heart, Fordham. Single wins were scored over Stepinac, Concordia, Hackley, Horace Mann, Rye and Pelham. Their only losses were at the hands of Bellows and Stepinac, the latter they had previously beaten. Their wins over New Rochelle and Blessed Sacrament made them Junior Varsity City Champions. Faup pulls down a rebound With the stress on speed the J. V. courtmen could run with any of its opponents. At the start ofthe season only four of last year's mem- bers were returning for duty. They were Joyce, Byrnes, Faup, and Gallager. Newcomers Din- olfo, Maus, Winters, Frampton and freshmen Burtis, Winters, Fachiano, and Finneran com- prised the remainder of the squad. With the playmaking of Captain Mike Joyce, the speed of Byrnes and Andre Faup and the rebounding of Jack Gallagher and Bert Burtis the young Prepsters had the necessary hustle and scoring punch. The J. V. displayed their calm under pres- sure by winning both of the overtime games of the season.

From a group of sixty hopefuls, he carved a strong twenty man club. ln tribute to his great play, the team elected Jimmy Vaughan captain. Jim is usually found at first base but plays just about any position with the same dexterity. At second is fleetfooted Joe Gaime, while Frank Alo's errorless style made him a natural for shortstop. Guarding the hot is Ray Porter, a heads-up ballplayer. ln left field we find 'veteran Bob Konopka, the club's clean-up hitter and in center is the sophomore sensation Bob Shannon, one of the school's best young athletes, Right field is shared by Jack Devine and scrappy Ed McKenna. As usual we find John O'Connor wearing the catching equipment. John is ably backed up by the other half of the Konopka family, brother Ray. The top mound ace of this year's nine is Bob Dohertygwho throws from the port side. He is backed by Matty McLough- lin, Tom Farrell, Ed Bugniazet and Bob McDermott. Adding surplus power and depth to the squad are outfielders Jack Cesario, Tom Carreiro, and Joe O'Malley. ln its season opener, the club faced Fordham, and behind Bob Doherty's no-hit pitching, came out on the right side of a 4-l score. With a fine start, the team looks forward to a winning season.

Though this year's J,V. is a bit green, their fire and hustle more than make up for ex- perience. ln succeeding last year's great J.V, whose l9 and 3 record stands as one ot the schools greatest the '52 team has their work cut out for them. The team, headed by captain Bob Maus has Bob Heggy at first base, Ben Lopaz at second. Jerry Finneran's fine play gained him a starting birth at shortstop and at the hot-corner is Joe Romeo. Backing up the infield are outfielders Bob Maus, Steve Peylan, and hard hitting Bob Finnan, The team's weak department is the pitching. Led by Panessa the rest ofthe hurlers are Sal DiBuono, Eugene Langhein and Tom Joyce. The other part of the battery is the team's best position. The catchers are headed by Ed Frampton. The team boasts a very strong bench with in- fielders Ecriveri, DiPasquale. Their tire and spirit should carry them far.

With early losses to Bishop Loughlin, St. John's and Mamaroneck, the outlook was dim indeed. Then the lrish mermen hit their stride. Displaying fine form they swamped Columbia Grammar and splashed into the W.P.P.S.A.A. championships at Horace Mann pool. Led by Capt. Bill Lane, who is the Westchester County ZOO yds. freestyle champ, the team scored a near upset as they battled their way to within 6 pts. of powerful McBurney to take 3rd place in the meet, With divers Bob Finnan and Jerry Finneran placing well, and Wally Geoghegan and Pete Taylor notching fourths in their events, namely the breast and the back-stroke, the team made its bid. Additional points were annexed by Jim Hanley and Marty Cohan in the 50 and TOO yd. freestyle events respectively. lona made its stretch run when Lane won the ZOO yd. freestyle relay lCohan, Hanley, Hunter, and Lanel took second in that event. Although Peekskill Military and McBurney 'beat them, the team beat about a dozen other squads and surprised many officials with their showing. The Irish natators closed out the season by trouncing Fordham Prep in mid-March. This year's club set a new mark by having two swimmers, Geoghegan and Lane, go undefeated in dual meet competition.

Joe has been a mainstay of Irish net squads since he was a tiny Freshman. He is the natural selection for first singles. The second and third singles are handled by Sophomores Tom Farrell and George Landegger, in that order. Both boys are veterans of last year's successful campaign. The last member of the team is Alfy Van Buren, a freshman, who promises to be a dangerous opponent in future years, Along with Tom Farrell, he comprises the second doubles team while Joe and George Landegger are a hard to beat first doubles team. With series of matches scheduled against New Rochelle, Stepinac, and White Plains, and singles matches with Scarsdale, Mamaroneck and Bellows, lona's racketeers will be seeing quite a bit of action this season. Moderating the squad is Brother Heaphy while Captain McOwen acts as coach and manager. Although the team lacks depth, the skill of its members should carry it through another victorious season. sl C3 .Il BROTHER HEAPHY X W Moderator ,Z 'VARSITY A TEAM ' Murphy, Johnson, Ewald lCaptainl , Dallenbach, Juergens.

For the second year in a row the senior dance society has offered the students of Iona some of the best social events of the year. The students of the school have proved the popularity of these dances by their support in attending Iona's own social events. Under the capable planning of its presi- dent, Bill Lane, and secretary, Bill Cleary, the society has provided novel decorations, fine dance music, and enjoyable times for all.

Y 7' Dramatics This year Mr. Donovon's thespians are once again practicing diligently for the play which is to be held in the spring. This year's selection is Clifford Goldsmiths comedy What a Life. This play is the original Henry Aldrich Broadway presentation which had a highly successful run of three years. With Bob Goodfellow as Henry Aldrich, Wally Geoghan as Barbara Pearson, Chris Walsh as Miss Shea, John Sibson as Mr. Nelson, and Bob Jeurgens as George Bigelow, lt seems as though the cast in the play has been adequately filled and through the guidance of Mr. Donovan lona's Dramatic Society is tops.

Under the direction ot Brother O'Ryan, moderator, the officers Bert Cor- balis president, Dick Tedesco vice president, Henry Widmir treasurer, and Mike Joyce secretary the sodality has taken up and followed out an extensive program. One ofthe main activities ot the Sodality this year was the reciting of the Rosary and the Litany of the Blessed Virgin, patron of the Sodality, at her shrine on the campus. The example shown by the sodalists faith during the year and especially in the month of May was an inspiration to all students at lona. 123 'A ??'??l'l'ii'i Joyce, Tedesco, Corbalis Widme As in the past the Band has had a very successful sea- son. lona again can claim one of the best bands in the area. The main point that backs up this boast is that after playing marches and songs at the football games the band then took up the role as an orchestra for the spring con- cert. By this remarkable change the band has more than proved its value at Iona. It is indeed a feather in the cap of the director, Mr. Sala. Mr. Sala Conducts. 3 5 3 3 J.

Maybe someday one of these students will rise above the average scientists to pioneer in phases of science yet to be explored by man, Let us hope that their urge to explore new fields of science will have come about through their interest first shown in the science club. lu.a-mmm W, The Revenuers are acomin'. l26 11K N-.4 Camera Club Moderated by Brother McDonnell, the camera club of lona has provided again an outlet for The students in the school that are interested in the hobby of photography. The school has stimulated their interest by letting them use the two dark- rooms situated on the campus. During the year they have been working hard taking pictures in hope that they will get a suitable one to enter in the picture contest in May. The owner of the win- ning picture may someday become a top flight photographer. Glee Club Alumni and old friends of lona can testify to the fact that in the past Iona has had one of the outstanding high school choral groups in Westchester. This year's Glee Club is no exception to its predecessors. Under the direction of Brother Castle the sopranos, tenors, altos, and basses have been organized into a very talented singing group. On May 2, parents and friends of Iona ap- plauded the dulcet tones which were the result of the harmonizing voices ofthe Glee Club. lt was observed that the patrons of the spring concert were heard humming the selections that the boys had sung. lt seems that the audience was impressed by the students outstanding performance and the superlative guid- ance of the Brothers in charge.

Student Council After the consent and the desire of a two-third majority of the senior body the Student Council was established at lona. However, an important change took place before the plan was passed, this was the abolition of the proposed senior councillors, established to main- tain order in the school and the surrounding area. This was done be- cause there was a great hesitancy on the part of the entire student body to accept them rather than the faculty. Sale of tickets and the maintaining of order at football games were one of the services of the Student Council. Another duty of the council is the publishing of its weekly bulletin put out by the Public Relations Secretary. This paper was posted weekly in all the classrooms. The officers of lona's first student council were as followsg Bert Corbalis, presidentg Dennis Donovan, vice presidentg Earl Johnson, Recording Secretary, William Cleary, Student Relations Secretary, Leo O'Donovan, Public Relations Secretary, Joseph Dinolfo, Treas- urerg Hugh Kelly, Assistant Treasurer. 1 iii: ag! ,, 55354 ak Q ,...,.. fm... u 1i..,.., 4 'Q so ' ,T lc.

More than one hundred couples danced to the music of Will Bradley and his orchestra on that memorable night. The decorations were the most beautiful and the most elaborate ever seen at Iona. All agreed that the Senior Prom of l95I was the finest ever held at Iona. The feature of the evening was- the crowning of Miss Ellen Barrett as the beautiful queen of the Prom. Credit for the prom's outstanding success goes to the energetic committee, headed by Leo O'Donovan, assisted by Secretary Bob Bund- schuh, Treasurer Hugh Kelly, and a committee of twenty-five.

All of this soon forgotten, however, as the horrible realiza- tion that mid-terms were only three weeks away, dawned on all of us. With the exams out of the way, we turned our thoughts to the lighter side of life, the dance, the basketball games, and the good times enjoyed by all Iona men. Our sensational basketball team continued on its winning ways and everyone looked forward to the possibility of a bid to one of the post season tournaments. Z,-f,, HID-YR.

The month of February also marked a big occasion for our Sophomore class as their first dance, The Soph Hop, was a smashing success.

The fruits of their labor may be observed in the high scholastic achievements of these boys. But the physical education of these boys has not been neglected. Under an extensive athletic program, they have had the opportunity to develop strong, healthy bodies. Most important of all, however, is the spiritual education which these boys have received. Through daily religious instruction, they have been pre- pared for the only Final Examination that counts. l55 th James Bishop James is a well liked and active Iona man.

We well realize that all of us have at least four more years of education ahead. But we leave lona with hearts and minds firmly trained in the great tradition of Catholic education. What we have learned at lona will guide us all the rest of our lives. We are, therefore, eternally grateful to the fine group of men who have pre- pared us for whatever may lie ahead. l92 G ,,,qJW '4 A FRIEND A. O.
