W ww A I fl, upz ms XII E Morto -- He is dead The sorrowful tolling of the bells o Rome was re-echoed in the hearts o men throughout the world The two hundred and sixty-first Vicar of Christ had been ever mindful of his Master's injunction to feed and care for the flock for which He died. . The many pastoral letters, allocutions, and the staggering P yy f . . zdlfatlnn s l tu 1 . f ' -. -Z f R , 'Z number of audiences Pope Pius XII granted to the little and great of this world are a mute yet eloquent testimony to his unremitting zeal. Through his scholarly, astute encyclicals he, combatted the many and pernicious 'cismsn of this world and effectively protected the flock from the darkness of error. Ever cognizant of the C hurch,s role in the world, he used the weapons of diplomacy to stave off or lessen the hate and horror of war. He will be justly remembered by men of all faiths as a great and saintly man-truly the Pope of Peace. We, the Class of 1959, in dedicating our yearbook to Pope Pius XII realize that our tribute can add nothing to the splendor of his memory. Yet mindful of the fact that we are a part of that Mystical Body for which he exhausted his genius and very life, we wish to make this simple gesture as a token of both gratitude and supplica- tion. May the example of his dedicated life inspire us with a whole- hearted zeal to heed the words of his Master, 6'Seek ye, therefore, first the Kingdom of God and His justice. X 7 ..

His wis- dom and foresight have guided us through our years at the Prep firmly yet pleasantly, while his sympathetic understanding of adolescent problems and cheerful sense of humor ha-ve lightened the burden of studies. We step forth from lona School as men, deeply indebted to Brother Gleeson. lO l l Tllnusrznd Brnthzr .

Our Assistant Principal, Brother Finch, has more than amply provided these opportunities. Brother's subtle humor and unassuming nature have aided us immeasurably. The acquisition of scientific learning has been made less bumpy as a result of Brother Finch's gentle prodding, To him goes our heartfelt thanks. MR. VINCENT E.

Last January, in his seventeenth year, Chris Kelly was called to Heaven by the God he loved and served so we-II in all of his short, earthly life. In future years, when we of the Class of '59 have gone our separate ways, we shall pick up our Saga and-browse through its pages in reminiscence. The blanket of forgetfulness may cover many events of our days at the Prep, but the time spent in Chris' friendly companion- ship can never be forgotten. May the angels lead thee into Paradiseg may the martyrs receive thee at thy coming and take thee to Jerusalem, the holy cityg may the choirs of angels receive thee, and mayest thou, with the once poor Lazarus, have rest everlasting.

IONARAMA The Prep's newspaper-magazine, the lonarama, has com- pleted one of the most successful years in its history. The Editorship was assigned to Donald Spoto, whose previous year a Assistant Editor prepared him to fill that position compe- tently. Under the moderation of Brother O'Connor, the paper offered many features, including a striking pictorial center- fold, attractive colors for each edition, and various new and timely departments. Much credit is also due to John Sajdak, the ever-ready Assistant Editor, and Tom Mclnerney, who so accurately covered every phase of lona's sports life. A new position on the staff this year was that of Exchange Editor. Ably filled by Kevin O'Drisccll, his was the task of managing correspondence to other schools and colleges with which Iona exchanges newspapers. Steve Masters and Bill DeNatale headed the photography and art staffs, respectively, and to the many reporters and columnists go the thanks and admiration of all who read and enjoyed the lonarama this year. 72 STAFF Editor, Donald M.

Directed by Brother Finch, the students supplement their regular curricula with varied programs of advanced experimentation. This extra work enables them to fully understand laboratory techniques and to develop poten- tial scientific abilities. The participants in the three phases of the Science Club-Sophomore, Junior, and Senior-express heartfelt gratitude to Brother Finch, whose guid- ance and infinite patience on behalf of the student body have made possible the successful Club which Iona offers.

SAGA of IONA Men of lona have always taken great pride each year in editing, publishing and distributing the Saga of lona to the student body and faculty. This publication represents a written record of personalities that comprised, for the period of ten months, a society within a society - lona Prep. lt contains, as the reader has discovered, a pictorial review of their achievements on the scholastic and athletic levels. lt also serves as a perma- nent reference to these future alumni of a period which flew by, never to be recalled from the past. This year's Saga was co-edited by Don Spoto and Pete Handal, whose untiring efforts in its behalf are evident in these fine pages. Photography and Art had the skillful hands of Steve Masters and Bill DeNatale, and the various sections were headed by Michael Lysaght, Hector Faccini, Thomas Eagan, Benedict DunLany, Don Lamparella, Thomas Mclnerny, Paul Madonna, and Charles Lantelme. All their labors were tied together by Moderator Brother Finch. Brother's constant interest has helped to make our presentation of the l959 Saga a grand success. We believe that the reader will discover the fruits of these labors for himself. 78 xmwvismwwmws Q . I F SV we M QS X 6 Front Row: D. Spoto, C. Lantelme, M. Lysaght, Mr. V. Flynn, P. Handal, H.

DEBATING and ORATGRY SOCIETY By hard work and determination the Debating and Oratory Society has won its place among the most outstanding ot the Iona activities. It is thirty members strong, has debated with all the schools in the Westchester area, and has brought many rhetoric laurels to Iona. By virtue of the two leagues to which it belongs, the Society entered into many debates. Each team debated on the average of twice a month. Their scores were tabulated, and the best teams were chosen to represent Iona against other schools. The orators of the Society have entered the American Legion Oratory Contest and the Edmundian Forensic League, held by the Irish Christian Brothers, and have traditionally done well in these. A great deal ot credit must go to Mr. Flynn, moderator, and also to the Co-Chairmen of Debating, Michael Lysaght and Peter Handal, Secretary, Hector Faccini, Treasurer, Charles Lantelme, and George Longobardi, Captain of Oratory. They have spent countless hours planning, working, debating and speaking, and to them goes the ultimate credit for the Society as it now is.

STUDENT LIBRARY COUNCIL The Student Library Council is composed of boys who unselfishly give up their time to help Mrs, Fritts, the school librarian, carry on the many functions of our library. Their work includes shelving books, alphabetizing the card catalogue and keeping it up to date, covering new books, repairing old ones, setting up displays and the bulletin boards, and writing the circular, Library Notes and News. This year was a special one in many respects. A consti- tution for the Council was drawn up and unanimously ap- proved. Officers were, for the first time, elected: Peter Handal, President, Michael Lysaght, Vice-President, and Richard Mergardt, Secretary. A large part of the staff also went on trips to other libraries to learn how these libraries operate. Much credit is due to these boys who give their time and efforts in performing the unglorious and sometimes tedious tasks involved in the operation of our library. 82 :M il ., W Y l L ' ,:f'f : f'i1'3: 1 f -an . .

The talent of those who comprise these groups has been displayed in our Saga as well as in the many editions of lonarama. The men with the cameras, namely Photography Editor, Steve Masters and his assistants -Brian D'lsernia, Bill Agostinelli, Michael Meagher, and John Quigley-could always be found somewhere on the campus with popping flashbulbs, or developing and printing with messy chemicals. The success of their work would have been impossible without the time and effort contributed by Brother Finch. Headed by Bill DeNatale, the Art Staff prospered during this season, also. Bill and Sal Benfante deserve the credit for much of the artwork in this book, as well as the art appearing in the newspaper. ' Congratulations and thanks to all who worked on Photography and Art.

Twelve ready and willing lbut not too ablel seniors prepared to create havoc among unwary pedestrians and motorists who dared enter the campus area. So that every boy would obtain the maximum driving time possible, Mr. Lamas divided his class into groups of four boys, each of whom spent a period a week behind the wheel, This practical experience was supplemented by intermittent classroom work, during which the future drivers were taught to care for the minor ailments ofthe car. Several months later, each boy passed his test and was awarded with his license. icture is worth a thousand words. Now, if I pull this out N-.pf 'l'i iw'Wt The 'I' of Iona CHEERLEADERS Following in the footsteps of tradition, the cheerleaders of Iona Prep have once again contributed much to the school spirit of which we are so proud. Led by co-captains Bob Naversen and George Paletta, many new features were added to the usual format, including uniforms for all members of the squad, The highlight of the year was, without a doubt, the much-publicized display at the New Rochelle-Iona football game, Jack McCann and his crew worked long hours toward constructing a magnificent float bedecked with flowers. a mam- moth gold l and several lovely girls. All the other football games offered unusual and amusing stunts as well. Upon the completion of the gridiron season, their attention was turned to the support of the basketball team. This was in itself a novelty for cheerleading. Most of our cheer- leaders will graduate in June, and their absen:e will be sorely missed. Kneeling: R. Naversen, G. Paletta, J. McCann. Standing: G.

Curtin Head Coach Moderator Iona has every reason to be proud of her fine football players despite their deceiving record. The Irish eleven fought their hardest against larger and heavier squads this season. The team demonstrated their fine -spirit on Thanksgiving Day as they played brilliantly before l2,000 people in the stands and count- less others viewing the contest on television. Outstanding in the backfield this seasoh were Backfield Coach Co-Captain Ralph Savianog Lou Gehrig Award Winner, Bill Sheridan, defensive stalwart Len Fuscaldo and promising runner Doug Shupp. Co-Captain Jay Cassen, guard Jim Morris, tackle Steve Shea and linebacker Jack Hilde- brand, deserve credit for their fine line play. The kicking and pass receiving ability of Pete Cella also should be commended.

Mr. 'll Draddy and Mr. Phil Winters proved able .aches and were well liked, not only by the layers, but by everyone with whom they me in contact on the campus. Unfortunately, 'ough schedule was the main reason the team cl not do much better. The young Gaels were sparked on by Dick guori, Rudy Agostino and Kevin Ahearn. so displaying their talents on this spirited ad were Chris Lynch, Bill DeSantos and ke Bellamy. And even though Jim Gallin ns the shortest in height, he was certainly not lzking in hustle. If these boys show as much ht on the Varsity next year, then future spects are indeed bright.

Although this is not too impressive, this record fails to demonstrate the tine quality of the Irish players such as co-captains Pete Cella and Roger Lynch, who netted averages of over 20 and I5 points, respectively. Tense duels were fought mid-way through the season with Mount St. Michael and Stepinac. The results of these games de- termined our fourth place position in the Westchester division of the C.H.S.A.A.

The Frosh hoopsters scored a highly successful season under the skillful coaching of Brother Horan. This is indicated by an excellent I2 - 4 won - loss record in all competition. In the C.H.S.A.A. league the Freshman five won ten while losing only one. This placed the team in first place in the West- chester division. Among the versatile ball handlers are top scorers, Dan Keegan, who averaged over twelve points per game, Vincent Alvino and Tom Burke, who both averaged over nine points per game. Dave De Santo pulled down about 75W of the rebounds while Jack Stutz and Frank Shea rounded out the first string.

Veteran manager John Van Noy again showed his skills as he assisted the Coach and Moderator dur- ing the team's long run to victory. Field events were, as usual, the strong point tor Iona with Lance Geoghegan and Ed Cunningham throwing the discus and javelin while Don Margotta, Jim Morris, Jay Cassen, Al Zari and John Finnegan threw. the shot. John Kelly and Ed Cunningham were outstanding in the pole vault and high jump as were Dane Dagnall, John Lemon and Bill Laurie in the broad jump. - Middle distance men were John Clancy, Bill Richards. Jim Stoll and John Reilly. The mile was run by Tom Eagan and Bill Laurie. Rich Schafer, Paul Madonna, Bill Maurer, Vincent Bovio and Bill Agostinelli were lona's top sprinters, With many excellent juniors and sophs filling the ranks, Brother McKay and Coach Mclvor can look forward to an even better season next year.

Top runners for the grueling Zh mile jog, such as Tom Disken and Co-Captains, Tom Egan and Paul O'l-lara deserve much credit tor their fine performances last tall. Freshmen Bob Budwick, Walter Spath, Jeff Kelley, Bob Arandler and Tony Benigno also displayed their skills and endurance on the cinders.

VARSITY BOWLING Rumbling balls plus crashing pins proved to be the best possible accompaniment for the Varsity Bowling Squad as they tallied up the strikes that resulted In a 7-2-4 record in League competition. The keglers who bowled strikes for Brother Draney were Don Lam- parella, Dick DunLany, Lenny Fuscaldo, John GaIIin,Tom Eagan and Jimi Morris. Of those who suc- cumbed under Gael pow- erin dual matches, falling the hardest were Barnard- twice-and Horace Mann-once. With victories such as these, the team took fifth position among the twelve participating in the newly formed Westchester High School League. They continued down the victory lanes to cop fourth place in the playoffs. Now that the season is over, all we need do is look about this one pin still standing and see those victors who brought home the spoils. We are indeed grateful to Brother Draney for his interest in bowl- ing which has led to the formation ofthe Westchester High School League. Due to this, bowling this year became the most popular and most partici- pated in sport at Iona. lla Br. Draney Lenny Fuscaldo Front Row: S. Lo Faro, M. Logan, D. Conti, J. Adrian, V. Costello, R.

After the battle was over and the pins were scattered, the Lucky Strikes, composed of Lenny Fuscaldo, Don Margotta, Jim Morris, and Richard Schaefer, turned out on top by only a few scant pins.

Close behind were Paul O'Hara, Don Lamparella, and Mike Liga, all who averaged over ISO. The high game of the year was by Jim Morris, who bowled a spectacular 260. Don Lamparella bowled a high series of the year with a 575. The League was very successful this year, with many fine Junior and Sophomore teams paving the way for another successful season next year. .FA , TENM Wa 'M sv Front Row: A. Creux, G, Paletta, D.

This year the clay courts saw increased activity as the teams, under the able coaching of their moderator Brother Mclntyre, met keen competition. The Varsity attack was led by such veterans as Pete Carroll, Bill Resk, George Paletta and Dave Leonard in addition to Colonel Long, Jim Colgan and Frank Cuitfo. The J. V. has very promising talent in Andre Creux, Danny Amend, Pete Garcia, Don Kelley, John Ehrhardt and George lpekdjian. Meanwhile, the novice freshmen depended upon Gary La Rocque, Nelson Hood and John Pellegrin. Such talent has led lona's tennis teams to many victories in the season's hard fought campaigns.

FITZGERALD, Ph.D. Since Iona lacks her own chapel, the task of accommodating five hun- dred students and the faculty tor Mass always posed a problem. However, through the generous assistance of Monsignor Charles E. Fitzgerald, Holy Family Church was made available to the Prep for the monthly First Friday devotions. Holy Family is conveniently located on Mayflower Avenue, within walking distance of Iona. Many graduates ot Holy Family Grammar School always come to the Prep, evidenced by the fact that nearly one out of every tive Seniors are alumni of that school. Monsignor Fitzgerald has, through the years, been our unofficial chap- lain. He presides annually at the Prep graduation, celebrates the Mass ot the Holy Ghost at the beginning of the school year, and continues to take an active interest in all Prep activities, On behalf of the entire faculty and student body, we extend to Monsignor Charles E. Fitzgerald our heartfelt gratitude. l43 SCHOLASTIC LIFE N--was-.Q And you'lI have even more books next yearl I The cream of the crop at mid-year. 'x sa' Freshman Scholarship Winners. Q.

FON One memorable day in I955, our cl henceforth to be known as the Class '59, got its first introduction to cr ming, high school teachers, and cafet food. Now, four years later, the rem ing seniors would like to reminisce some of the pleasant experiences that t encountered during their stay in Iona Much of freshman year was spent g ting into the swing of things. We ha responsible class, whenever anyth went wrong, we were held responsi Room 2Ol had its AnaCRONlNis while Room 202 diligently canvassed I school in a Fruit for Mr. Germann ca paign, and Room 203, having Brotlr McKay for three periods, witnessed da the energetic instruction of an enthu astic teacher's pounding of knowled into students. The football season brought our fi bid for immortality with Jack Hildebrar Jay Cassen, Ralph Saviano, and oth ending up on the J.V. squad. The G Club was-filled with freshmen vocalis When the first term honor lists appearei the freshmen were represented more th any other class. Leader of the intelligem was Jim Sarkissian with a 99 average. T frosh hoopsters compiled an enviah record under the skilled hand of Broth Horan. The year passed quickly, and all t soon we were faced with provincia Most of the class fared well, and a lol summer vacation was relished. EMORIES irmly established, the Class of '59 an the academically dangerous sopho- re year. We learned, for instance, that isosceles triangle has three sides-the e as any other triangle. We also rned how to accept the highest mark lass with true humility lunfortunately, s knowledge went to wastel. Yet, nks to many rosaries and a good deal cramming, most of us squeezed by the demic guillotine. Some did exception- well, and again we were represented the honor lists and the newly formed ian Chapter of the National Honor iety in great numbers. ln Winter our thoughts turned from a her uneventful season in Jay Vee foot- ll to such things as our fabulous Junior rsity basketball team who were the first sense the efficiency of a certain scien- t named Brother Finch, The Soph Hop med on the horizon. Rumors were fly- , and soon committees evolved and kets were sold. The night itself came, d the walls were bedecked with painted anches and colored cut-outs. The phomores were now begrudgingly ad- itted to all social functions, and they pported them en masse. Who will ever forget the final assembly sophomore year? lWelI, it's certain at Bob won't.l The year closed with e dread geometry, Latin, and history gents and many prayers of thanks to r.

Th left some choice words for Newton's la and Cicero's speeches. The honor list ha a Cassius' look llean and hungryl. Ric Schaefer was now the number one st dent, but he was closely pursued. Th petit gros frere waltzed across the stag only long enough to tell us that he didn' speak to juniors, and that he was tryin to put out a yearbook, so don't look a the camera. In sports we were represented by first stringers on every major varsity sport: Ja Cassen and Jack Hildebrand in football Pete Cella in basketballg Bill Sheridan i baseball and Joe Colaneri in swimmin Debating and Oratory was completel manned by juniors, and they brough many laurels to the school, including thei second straight victory in the ICB Foren sic League. The Science Club could boas that at least half its errors were made b juniors. Glee Club, despite a few losses still was supported mainly by juniors Even such sacred senior activities as news paper and yearbook had junior represen tation. Of course there is no doubt lt our minds at leastl that the Junior Pro was the best ever. According to Confucius. the best i often last. Senior year was no exception The Senior Class dominated Iona life an the history of the year has been portraye in this Saga. ln June, four years came to an end four years that will never again find a equal in our lives. An unforgettable er was terminated, an era filled with ne faces, new ideas, and a more mature out look on life. For all of this, the fifth da of June, nineteen hundred and fifty-nin was an appropriate and dramatic climax IONA MOTHERS' AUXILIARY fi Mrs. John Rau, Mrs. William Buckley, Mrs. Charles Irwin, Mrs. George Maurer, Mrs. Vincent Casey, Mrs. Arthur Lee, and Mrs. Manville Hen- drickson are shown with Brother Gleeson at the annual bridge.

As we scan the years ahead, we are absorbed in a stream of thoughts and remi- niscences. The ebb and flow of events have given us the strong foundations which are our heritage from Iona. We entered this School filled with the eager conceit of youth, and we have all-too-quickly arrived at this inevitable climax and the culmination of our studies. Yet, as we mount the graduation platform, we experience a sense of melancholy. Standing amidst the irrevocable past and the uncertain future, we review the gulf of four years which have passed with the rapidity of a turning kalei- doscope. The generosity of our parents and the devotion of our teachers have provided for us the true incentives to learning. But it is not our aim to gain the applause of future ages. In the dim procession of years, we shall easily recall our most memo- rable days here, for Iona has fashioned for us a firm and balanced manhood. She has taken root in our lives, and we shall always be indebted to everything she represents. Truly, Iona School is our Alma Mater, continuous and ever- lasting as the knowledge she bestows. 160 ma-md by Suywudaq NEW CITY PR4NTING CO Immun crrv. Nw Jnslv A Vasa a -Ja' 'EFF J JHH 5 5555
