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

Dick Barry, Jim Robinson, Vin Ross, Art Celona, Vin Slattery. Frosh It was an awed group of freshmen who trouped into 205 that memorable morning of September l l, l95l. 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
