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.
