IdJiilt a 7l osid The graduates of nineteen hundred forty-seven, with affection and respect, dedicate our annual to an amiable and understanding friend, Reverend Brother Anton, C. F. X. As his years are coming to an end at Malden Catholic, we seniors thought this the best way to re¬ member him. He has been with us now for seven years, during which time his wealth of knowledge has been showered upon us. In addition to his other activities he is also the vocational director of the school. The influence and inspiration of his character has helped many of us to prepare for our journeys into the future. Under his guidance we can never err. His untiring and little praised efforts as an ath¬ letic manager merit due consideration. Under his tutelage our tracksters, the first from a parochial high school to receive any points in a state meet, are finally being recognized. We, the class of ' 47 will long remember him for his quiet, understanding manner and constant will¬ ingness to help and for his long and faithful years of fine service to our school. Brother Anton C. F. X. Respected by all as friend, advisor, and director Officer of our faith, foremost in our affection Always helpful, appreciative and understanding Never lacking in his untiring efforts to please all Temperate in disposition, a leader among leaders Over all these years always kind and amiable N ever to be forgotten for the man that he is cMeadUnci ' iteA, . 0 0 k ; Malden Catholic High school is very proud of the advances which have been made under the guidance of our beloved principal, Rev. Brother Charles C. F. X. When he first arrived, our student body numbered a little less than two hundred, and to-day, in spite of restrictive reasons it has risen to near five hundred. Such a rise can only reflect back to the leader of such a body. In later life we can never hope to meet one who was so interested in the welfare of his students. His excellent leadership is only second to his apt ability as a teacher. For the past few years Brother Charles has been required to combine his ability as a teacher with the responsibility of a principal, a task envied by none, but performed with much exactness. ? fjoh l Uell 2 ane As the saying goes, All good things must come to an end, so too must Brother Charles ' stay at Malden Catholic. Since his coming the scholastic standing of our school has taken a sharp rise; and from all indications it will continue to maintain its standards. His tireless effort has contributed greatly to the success of the student body. We can never repay this man for what he has rendered us. Kindly, always understanding and willing to help, respected by all, he was to us a friend more than a principal. His many duties have included supplying infor¬ mation on all colleges; giving advice to those entering the armed forces; and in general, preparing us all for our future life. He has solved many troubling problems which have baffled his student body. We are truly grateful for his wise guidance, patience, and encouragement to better prepare us for an uncertain future; so to you, Brother Charles, we say, A job well done. In the picture at the right Brother Charles closes the door of the Brothers ' house for the last time as principal. He does this with a heavy heart but with the knowl¬ edge that he has done his best for the boys who came under his direction. He may have closed the door literally for the last time, but no one or nothing will ever obliterate the many happy mem¬ ories he has left behind. His many kindnesses cannot be shut out by the mere turning of a key. tf-acultq, . . At JleiiMSie BROTHER QUENTIN. C.F.X. A man who has little to say in verbal expression but whose actions could well be contemplated and imitated by all of us. A loyal supporter of our football and basketball teams, he was often seen down at the field cheering our boys in victory and praising them in defeat. Brother came from Brooklyn two years ago and since then has won the admiration and respect of all boys throughout the classrooms of Malden Catholic. His patience in class has enabled the boys to grasp some knowledge of the subject which he may be teaching them. With, tUe. Unoilte i . . . BROTHER AUBERTUS, C.F.X. Brother Aubertus, who has a good number of years of teaching behind him and who has seen the rise and the fall of many of his pupils, has to inculcate into us appreciation of the fact that we should get the most out of our education that we can. Brother teaches first, second, third and fourth year Latin plus French. He is a follower of our activities and many a time he has added life to our dances by his humorous jokes. Brother is the moderator of our debating team and has coached them to many victories as a result of his constant training and instruction in the art of speaking. Here we find Brother chatting and enjoying a cigar with Brother Charles during the Christmas holidays. BROTHER ANTON. C.F.X. In Brother Anton we find a man admired profoundly and deeply respected by the whole student body. He is a friend to all and the friend of all. Brother is the moderator of the Senior Prom, of the annual play, and coach of J. V. Basketball. Into all of these he puts his best and obtains as a result the best success. Brother teaches Physics, Trig, Solid, and Algebra. « • � BROTHER CYRIL, C.F.X. Brother Cyril has been the athletic director here at M. C. ever since his arrival. With this position we can rest assured that there are plenty of troubles and a great deal of responsibility. Brother has worked unceasingly to make us ' champs ' . All his efforts have not been in vain as witnessed by the fact that in sports M. C. means supremacy. This is his school of accom¬ plishment and he can honestly and humbly pride himself in it. Brother teaches mainly Geometry and Algebra. In his classes he portrays the same qualifications that have tended to make him such an athletic director. BROTHER WALSTAN. C.F.X. Brother came to M. C. four years ago and during that short time he has organized at M. C. our year book, newspaper, orchestra, and it was through his efforts that we have at the present time a first place basketball team. When Brother starts somehing it is always done for the good of the school. He works hard until he completes his project and is positive that it is acceptable to all concerned. Brother teaches Latin, French, and English. His keen sense of humor adds life and interest to the subjects. cMik Mattel BROTHER MICHAEL. C.F.X. Brother Michael is at present the moderator of the Hi-Lite and has made it one of the best school papers around. Brother has merited the admiration of all who work with him on the paper for his eagerness to accept ideas and for his ingenuity at thinking of new ideas that will improve the Hilite. With Brother we see Snaffu who is regarded as the school mascot. He continually follows Brother Michael around school all day going from class to class with him. typ. a Hit • • • This is Brother Nelson ' s first year at M. C. He arrived here last fall from St. X ' s in Louisville Kentucky. He readily adapted himself to M. C. and the spirit which prevails throughout the length and breadth of M. C. His experience with and training of boys has erased the gap usually existing between a new teacher and new pupils. Brother has been given the responsibility of the ' country day school ' . Brother is a true fan of M. C. following the team in victory and defeat and also has been seen frequently at the dances in Mary Hall collecting the money at the door. He teaches English, French and Latin, besides his other activities, Brother also found time to coach the J. V. Basketball team to a very successful season. Oun, GauH ' lelosi . BROTHER ALEXIUS JOSEPH, C.F.X. Brother Alexius in his silent determined manner, succeeds in always getting what he is seeking. Given to many nervous mannerisms and a constant flow of dry humor, he quickly dispels any feeling of tension there may be the class. His caustic wit rather than being disliked, is eagerly awaited by the class. Possessing a thorough knowledge of French and Latin, he is an excellent teacher. Although he is a severe marker, the boys realize that they truly earned the marks they receive. As moderator of the Herald Spelling Bee contestants, he has greatly aided the boys. Since his arrival our spellers have shown great improvement. Proof of this has been shown in the work of Sophomore George Doherty and Senior William Sawyer who spelled themselves through the semi-finals only to lose out in the finals at Fanieul Hall. MR. FRANK HILL Mr. Hill, one of our new lay teachers, by his quiet infectious laugh has succeeded in quickly winning the friendship and co-operation of all his pupils. A graduate of Boston College, he comes to us after having spent three years in military service,. Two of these were spent with the Fifth Army in Europe. Both the fact that he is a recent graduate of Boston College and the fact that he served for ten months as an .Army instructor enables him to easily win the confidence of the boys he deals with. Helping him on his journey from North Andover each day is a Studebaker which has frequently proven unreliable. Completely natural at all times, he could frequently be found, during the Fall, lolling about the club house, talking and joking with the boys. Quite an athlete in his own right, his assistance has proven invaluable to Mr. Fannon as a line coach of the Junior Varsity football team. Under his supervision, the first J.V. baseball team has also been added to the many extracurricular activities now existing at Malden Catholic. MR. WILLIAM CAWLEY Quiet, businesslike, Mr. Cawley is a new-comer to our campus this year, and already he has succeeded in making his classes enjoyable ones. His capable handling of Math and the Sciences has established him as a fine teacher. Despite the fact that he is easy-giving and good natured, all his piupils respect him and give him their perfect attention. Always trying to invoke a little humor ’into the classroom, he has found that this is one of the best ways to keep the pupils from growing tired of the routine study. A parish boy, he graduated from our school with honors. He entered the N. R. O. T. C. and graduated from Harvard. After his graduation he served as communications officer on a ship in the South Pacific. While he was a student at Malden Catholic, he was drum major and assistant instructor of the Cadets. During the past Fall, he aided Mr. Fannon by giving the boys their daily calisthenics. This proved to be a great aid to Mr. Fannon, as he was very busy rushing to keep his eye on 110 candidates. MR. RICHARD FANNON That amiable, middle-aged man with the sheaf of papers under his arm is Mr. Fannon. Despite the fact that he resides in Jamaica Plain, he can always be found cheering the boys on at any athletic contest. Through the years of experience he has had, in dealing with boys, he has acquired the gift of having his pupils thoroughly enjoy themselves in class at the same time they are learning something. Mr. Fannon not only enlightens the class with his keen knowledge of history but he likewise shortens the day by his sparkling humor. In the Fall Mr. Fannon devoted himself to teaching freshmen and sopho¬ mores the fundamentals of football. His success as a coach of the Junior Varsity is shown by the success his players have when they join the varsity. With Spring in the air, Mr. Fannon is preparing to get the baseball team into condition. The improvement of the baseball team since his arrival is a fitting tribute to his coaching ability.

(!« l4Je ' IVosiJz and Slaae The boys from the three senior classes unlike most seniors realize the necessity of hard study during their last year in school. Wisely they avoid taking the careless attitude toward study which is prevalent amongst most graduating classes. Going clockwise, the first picture shows 4 ' C inspecting the apparatus in the physics room. Joe Finn is explaining the instruments while Bill Kelliher, Red McGachie and Hank Gilewski listen attentively. Next we find 4A diligently taking notes as Mr. Hill, our English teacher, dictates them. Paul Bennett and Harry Hamilton are writing while Dave McAvinn and Eddie Jamieson wait patiently for the next statement. Behind Mr. Hill, John Bruno relaxes quietly. In the further corner is 4B enjoying the physics ' instruction being given by Mr. Cawley, our young physics teacher. The prominence of young men, both in age and in spirit, on our staff encourages a better feeling of under¬ standing between the teacher and the student. Enjoying the humorous side of the lesson, are Bob Whyte, Francis Kilbride, Ned Joyce, Paul Dumas and Bob LePore. VeSuf, Patiently The evidence of the lack of respect for superiors which boys have today is only too appalling. This disrespect has in recent years even reached the class¬ room. Teachers in many institutions find themselves unable to cope with this belligerency, however, disrespect is an unknown word within the portals of Malden Catholic where each teacher is the absolute monarch of his class. Eager to co-operate the students pay strict attention at all times. Clockwise we find 4A wholeheartedly devoting themselves to the wander¬ ings of Aneas. In the center, Brother Aubertus helps the boys through a hard translation, as Paul Shannon, Iggy Prior, and Bob O ' Brien try to follow along with their books. In the upper left corner, showing that this attention is not reserved for the Brothers only, the boys of 4C give the same attention to a lay teacher, Mr. Fannon. Gazing at their books are Frank McFarland, Milt Tibbets, Joe Mac- Murrer and Joe Callanan; and trying to picture the situation in their minds are Bob Eisenhauer, John McCabe and Joe Finn. 7 The lower right corner shows one of the boys of 4B delivering an oration to the enjoyment of his fellow classmates. These talks have proven a great aid in relieving any feeling of self-consciousness the boys might have. Bob LePore is the orator and some of his listeners are Gerry Byrne, Paul Callahan, Jimmie Harvey and James Forrestall. Jlati. ajf tyu+t Trying to make pupils learn by placing them in stuffy rooms and forbid¬ ding them to talk, only causes the pupils to determine not to learn. At Malden Catholic we are allowed to enjoy our work as long as order is maintained. This method has paid huge dividends for the pupils, when they find themselves not being forced to study all the time, do so of their own free will. In the lower left corner, we see 4C enjoying a laugh on Archimedes. In the foreground Joe McMurrer, John McCabe and Ed Callahan look on and seem puzzled as to how Archimedes entered the picture. Behind them Bob Miller, Frank McFarland and Ronnie LeBlanc show their appreciation of the joke. Above, Bill Mooney, with his witty anecdote, gives the boys of 4B a chance to smile. Not willing to take his word, they crowd around to read it themselves. Craining their necks, we find Francis Kilbride, Jimmy Forrestal, Ray Gagnon, Bob Tobin and Andy Cahill. In the upper right corner Frank Sullivan and Hank Silveira get a big kick out of measuring the height of the beam from the table. In the background, Harry Hamilton jots down a few notes as Brother Anton shows the boys at the next table how it should be done. HctUUti l . . . • t Now finishing its fourth year, our school paper has risen to great heights. Under the careful supervision of its moderator, Brother Michael, many improvements have found their way into this year ' s editions. Co-editors Edward Jamieson and Bernard Driscoll have spent many long hours in preparing material for future issues and their work is to be praised. This year has found our school re¬ porters making many interesting tours of local news plants and sitting in at several press conferences. As usual the Christmas issue was most appreciated by the student body for its colorful design and features. On the opposite page we see Brother Michael, accompanied by Dick Noonan and Charles Kirschner learning the various methods of setting type. In these pages we see Joseph Appleyard typing out an article while his eager colleagues look on. Then, too, we see the boys on one of their tours. Among these are Bernard Driscoll, Jack Leary, Dave Norton, Bob O ' Shea, Joe Furio and Bill Kelliher. This year found our debating society with few returning veterans but nevertheless these boys, under the capable direction of Brother Aubertus who has spent many nights with them ironing out their faults, have rolled up im¬ pressive victories. The main objective of this society was realized inasmuch as self confidence in public speaking was implanted in many who had form¬ erly been lacking experience. Much, if not all, of the credit due to this organ¬ ization should be rendered Brother Aubertus. Although none of his teams have won the Diocesan Championship, nevertheless they have thrown a scare into many opposing schools. This year the negative team was upheld by Fred O ' Neil, Eddie Jamieson and Paul Duffy, while the affirmative side was com¬ posed of Bernie Driscoll, Chester Perotti and Philip VanThullenar. All of these boys have experienced some action in previous years except Edward Jamie¬ son and Fred O ' Neil who must be commented for their season ' s work. The Officers of this year ' s club, usually limited to seniors, were Paul Duffy, Presi¬ dent; Bernard Driscoll, Vice-President; and Fred O ' Neil, Secretary. Other members of this year ' s team were Roy Kenison, Robert Barry Joseph Cheney, John Callanan, Richard Buckley and Tommy Sullivan. Next year will see many of these boys returning. Below, seated left to right, we see: John Callanan, Fred O ' Neil (Sec.); Paul Duffy, (Pres.); Robert Barry, Joseph Gilhooly and Roy Kenison. Above we have: Joe Cheney, Ed Jamieson, Philip Van Thullenar, Chet Perotti, Richard Buckley, and Bernie Driscoll, (Vice-Pres.). JU-JLiteU Four years ago when Brother Walstan first arrived at Malden Catholic he organized a school orchestra which many said would never amount to anything. This year we can look back with pride on the boys who represented us in the field of music. So great was the improvement over last year ' s group that the students were dumbfounded upon hearing them. Perhaps it might be said that they reached their peak at the annual Thanksgiving Victory Dance, for those who attended will never forget the performance given by the orchestra. The Hi-Liters must also be praised for their music at the Valentine Dance. Although they got off on a shaky start they soon demonstrated their talents. Above we see these merry music makers who are composed of Hugh Hachey, A1 McCarthy, Bob Mullet, Chet Perotti on the saxophones, Bob Wins¬ low and Bob Winsor in the brass section along with Russ Sulliivan on the drums, Pete LaBonte on the bass violin and Guthrie at the piano. Besides these boys there is another entire orchestra made up of freshmen and sopho¬ mores. The Science Club, though not too active this past season, is still in exist¬ ence as is evidenced by this picture. Above we see Tom Mulloy and Bob Filipcne paying strict attention to an experiment being performed by Brother Quentin. When they met, this club performed many various experiments which gave them a better understanding of the laws governing the universe. Added knowledge was acquired by bringing in reports of outside activities. 1947 This year we think you will find the Hi-Way vastly improved in com¬ parison to the two previous editions. By correcting some of the shortcomings which were present before, the book has become a more finished product. With the lifting of restrictions better paper was procured and padded covers were l bought. The staff has attempted to divide the book into sections which include the faculty, the students, the classroom, socials, extra-curricular activities and sports. In placing as many pictures as possible in this year ' s book with a minimum of writing, we have given you in the best way we know a pictorial review of the year. The seniors pitched in wholeheartedly this year with everyone deter¬ mined to do his best. They showed this not only in their swift paying for their copies but also by attending the dances sponsored by the year book. Speaking of the dances much credit is due to George Norton, George Kelly, and Harry Hamilton for the work they did to make these dances a success. Before mentioning the seniors directly responsible for this edition, I think we should mention the man behind the scenes, Brother Walstan, without whose capable guidance and tireless efforts this book would never have gone to press. Above we find some of the dance committee admiring Mr. Hill ' s car before entering Mary Hall to prepare things for the evening ' s dancing. Those present include Bob O ' Brien, Harry Hamilton, Donald Anzalone, Bob Filipone and Bill Burke. mmmm Above we have the makeup men Hank Silveira, Bob O ' Brien, Fred O ' Neil, Joe McGonagle, Bob Eisenhaur, Joe Wilkins, Paul Duffy, Paul Shannon and Joe Callanan. Below are the financial men James Harvey, Joe McMurrer, Dan Berardi, Bill Kelliher, Tom Mulloy and A. J. Lynch. Paul Bennett, another financial man, was absent. ■I ; m v W J m Hu wtliA ■■■ i. After having filled their stomachs to their capacity and then cheering madly at the Malden Catholic - St. Clement ' s football game, some three hun¬ dred fifty boys and girls still managed to attend the annual Thanksgiving Vic¬ tory Dance. This dance, the high spot on the social calendar in the fall, was sponsored by the Year Book. Thanks to the splendid turnout, the financial worries of the Year Book were greatly lessened. Much credit is due George Kelly who though not graduating this year, nevertheless, gave up much of his time to guide the seniors in decorating the hall. On the top of the page we find Hugh Hachey, A1 McCarthy, Bob Mullet, and Chet Perotti making beautiful music on the sax. These boys together with the rest of the orchestra sent the crowd home singing praises of the music furnished. On the next page, from the top, we meet some of the dancers taking time out for a coke. In the foreground are Jim Walsh, Joe McGonagle, Paul Dumas anl Bob Ford. Giving out with the million dollar smile is Rita Cormier. Below Bob Whyte and Tom Mulloy stop with their companions for a little chat. On the bottom are this year ' s co-captains Gino and Tommy together with next year ' s co-captains Buddy Smith and Frankie Griffin. The announcement of next year ' s co-captains was the high-light of a dance that was enjoyed by all. UanJzlCfiviviCf 2 ance. Valentine. Chance . . . On February 14, St. Valentine ' s day, the first annual Valentine dance was held and judging from its success it will become a permanent feature. This dance was also sponsored by the year book and so eager were the seniors to help that it was difficult to find tasks for them all to perform. Once again George Kelly showed his decorating ability. His twisting streamers of crepe paper transformed Columbus Hall from simply a large bare hall into a beauti¬ ful spacious dance floor. The Hi-Liters played very well as was evidenced by the many couples gliding dreamily along to the harmonious strains. Taking a glance at the pictures we see three of the more beautiful students of the Girls ' High School, Margaret Holland, Barbara McCleary, and Barbara Leahy. In the middle of the next page George Norton and Bill Kelliher sell cokes to To mmy Griffin and Richie Hackett during an intermission. Flanking this picture on both sides are many of the couples who attended the dance. Among the boys we recognize are: Joe Wilkins, Tom Mulloy, Pete Lynch, Red Duffy, Bob Shea, Mike Kearney, Hank Silveira, Paul Bennett, Dave McAvinn and Don Murray.

The Annual Retreat was held during Passion Week. Father Dixon, who did a very notable job two years ago, was back at the helm and he once again did an excellent job of getting our souls back on the right course. On the right, the boys inspired by the example of the faculty are going to the altar rail under the guidance of Brother Charles. Below, we find another Communion scene with Msgr. Fletcher dstributing out the Host. In the bottom picture the boys kneel with their eyes riveted on the altar as they recite the rosary. : 1 T ' 1 4 jgEB m S 1 IS 1 H J!(fc J -■ Spxviti . . . ,ri fyaG-thall . Under the tutelage of Mr. Prior and Mr. Grant, M.C. ' s able coaches, the Bluejackets had turned out a better than average season. The season opened with a loss to the Medford Mustangs; however, the score of 13-0 does not tell the story. Our gridmen played excellent ball, but were plagued by constant injuries. The second game was a near repetition of the season ' s opener, with LaSalle of R. I. on the long end of a 13-6 score. On October 5th, 3000 fans journeyed to Springfield to witness Malden ' s second half surge, highlighted by Bob Ford ' s sensational finger tip catch in the end zone, to score the only tally of the contest. M. C. discovered the end zone on Columbus Day and downed a hard fighting Norwood team 13-6. Before a capacity crowd of 10,000, Malden de¬ feated (13-12) the threat to Class A crown, Somerville, the team which had beaten such power houses as Medford and Everett. The next Sunday, a large crowd saw Mission bow to Malden by a score Qluejachetl BUcuue ed GUawupA, A f Ut . . . of 30-6. Nov. 2 dawned a dull day for the Malden- ites as their heavily-favored gridmen suffered a 13-6 defeat by Dedham ' s Walt Keaney and Company. Nov. 10th will live in infamy in the hearts of the Malden rooters for on that day Keith Academy was beaten for the first time this season. The spirit, determination, and courage of our Blue¬ jackets made them a far superior eleven, and gave them the 7-0 victory they so richly deserved. After the Keith victory, the rest of the season was a repeti¬ tion with E. Pawtucket, St. Mary ' s W, St. Clement ' s and the All Stars of Central Massachusetts bowing before the Bluejacket onslaught.

Mi ' Ind Became This year ' s co-captains, Gino DiGirolamo and Tom Mulloy were real leaders and able cap¬ tains. Gino did remarkable work directing the team from the quarterback slot, while Tom was a good guard and an ex¬ traordinary team man. A GluimfUo+i Buddy” Smith and Frank Griffin, the co-captains elect, are two of the best players that M. C. has had in a long time. Bud earned the honor of co¬ captain by his flawless play at center. Griff earned his honor by his brilliant runs and great defensive play. • • This year the Blue Streaks once again captured the Catholic hockey title. Despite the class of the Blue Blades , they were pressed on many occasions because of the fierceness of the competition. The Blue Streaks clad in their classy new uniforms took the ice against St. Patrick ' s full of confidence and almost came out second best. The game ended in a 1-1 tie, thanks to Bob Miller ' s unassisted goal. Next Malden took on St. Sebastian ' s with a flaming spirit and a deflated ego. It was a nip and tuck affair with both teams playing brilliantly. Deter¬ mined to win Malden put five forwards on, but the strategy backfired and St. Sebastian ' s scored. Incensed by this gpal, the boys fought like demons with Bobby Donahue soloing for the equalizer. The game ended in a 3-3 deadlock. The next two encounters were routine with the Kentymen topping St. Mary ' s of Lynn 6-1 and breezing by St. Clement ' s 4-0. In the last encounter of the first half, the Streaks had a hard time, but they managed to squeeze by St. Mary ' s of Waltham 1-0. For the second time Malden Catholic faced St. Pat ' s of Stoneham. They were determined that there would be no repetition of their previous perform¬ ance. Capt. Bob Ford with only 8 seconds of the game played, rushed rignt through the defense and tallied. After that Bob Donahue followed with two consecutive goals, and Bud Smith followed suit. Gino DiGirolamo added the final tally. The final score was Malden 6 - St. Patrick ' s 0. Braced up by their victory they met St. Sebastian ' s with confidence and vigor. St. Sebastian was also keyed up for this tilt so the game was a well played and hard fought one with close board checking by DiGirolamo and Donelan throughout. Although trailing 1 to 0 at the end of the first period, the Blue Streaks were not to be defeated. They swarmed all over their opponents, rushing the opposing goalie, time after time. Donahue tied the score in the second period. A1 Gubbins then made it 2 to 1 in the third frame and Bob Donahue added the final tally of the game. Malden came out on the top of a 3-1 score. In the next game with St. Mary ' s of Lynn, the Bluejackets triumphed easily. The following game was with highly underrated St. Clement ' s. Although they completely outplayed their maroon and gold opponents, our boys were forced to settle for a tie because of a couple of breaks in favor of St. Clement ' s. The scoring was divided between Miller and Smith. The contest terminated in a 2-2 tie. At this point M. C. was in a very precarious position. St. Sebastian ' s had • ,v: been already eliminated from the second round, but St. Mary ' s of Waltham was still in the running. The Blue Streaks could either win or tie, but a loss would be disastrous for it would mean that we would not be in the play-off. The boys played fine hockey that night, it was Gubbin ' s scoring early in the first period followed shortly afterwards by Reboulet. St. Mary ' s tallied once in the second period and managed to hold us scoreless in the second period. Reboulet and Donahue scored in the first period and Miller in the second period St. Sebastian ' s was held scoreless and by the 3-0 win, we won our fourth consecutive title. The first minutes were hectic, we scored two goals. Then the second period we scored a third by Bob Miller putting us ahead 3-0. Thus the game ended. M. C. won the Catholic Hockey League title for the fourth consecutive year. mm . Rail The Hoopsters enjoyed the most spectacular and successful basketball season ever witnessed at Malden Catholic. The team led by Captain Arthur Garrett and John F. O ' Donnell and supported by Bernie Sullivan, Leo Harring¬ ton, John McCullough, and Frankie Griffin rolled up a combined total of 805 points to 631 for the opposition in 21 games. The 1947 Blue Jackets will go down in the records as the first M. C. team to enter the New England Catholic Tournament. In this tournament they defeated Lawrence Catholic in the first game only to go on and lose to Mission High, 29-18. The first game of the year was a twenty-minute game with St. Columb- kille ' s which M. C. easily won 26-10. John F. O ' Donnell scored 10 points out of the 26. After the Catholic Basketball Jamboree the cagers went on to defeat St. Mary ' s of Waltham, 30-22 on the Boston Garden floor. John F. and Arthur Garrett were high scorers with 9 and 8 points respectively. Putting through the hoop 12 points, John McCullough paced the team to a 36-16 win over Franklin High, also on the Garden floor. Before entering league competition Malden Catholic defeated Melrose High 39-19. John F. O ' Donnell scored nine field goals for a total of eighteen points. The first game of league competition was played at Keith Academy with Malden boys emerging as victors in a heartily contested battle, 38-34. Sharing scoring honors in this game were Art Garrett with 19 points, and John F. with 12 points. Although John F. and Art Garrett scored 13 and 12 points respectively, the Blue Jackets suffered their first defeat in six games to Lawrence Catholic, 33-38. Dazed by the setback at Lawrence, the cagers defeated Keith Academy at the Malden Armo ry, 57-36. In this contest, the scoring was equally distributed among Bemie Sullivan, Arthur Garrett, John F., John McCullough and Frankie Griffin. Again Malden Catholic suffered defeat at the hands of the perennial champs, Lawrence Catholic, who held our hoop men to 28 points while they racked up 33 points. Of the 28 Malden points, Frankie Griffin put in ten. Malden Catholic made their record 9 wins and 2 losses by defeating Cathedral High of Boston, 51-39. Bernie Sullivan was the star of this game be¬ cause of his exceptional defensive play. Meeting St. Mary ' s (L) for the second time this season the hoopsters sunk 47 points to 31 points for St. Mary ' s (L). John F. scored 17 points and Arthur Garrett 14 points. Playing heads-up ' ' ball the Bluejackets made their record 11 wins against 2 losses by downing St. John ' s Prep, 59-39. Scoring honors for this game went to John F. with 17 points, Arthur Garrett with 13 points, and Frankie Griffin with 10 points. Inspired by the three consecutive wins M. C. paced by Frank Griffin, Garrett and O ' Donnell defeated Cathedral High of Boston by an 8-point margin. The score, 43-35. Although the boys from Cathedral played their hearts out the better team work and ability of M. C. shows that these boys were outclassed. Three days later the hoopsters again played on the beautiful Garden floor. Our boys were much too classy for their opponent Woburn. They started fast and were never headed. John F. again paced the scoring and Woburn bowed 33-23. On the following Sunday our stalwarts ventured to Brookline to meet Mission. Mission was determined to win and the crowd was highly partisan. Beat Malden banners were on display everywhere and an effigy of a Malden student was hanging from the rafters. When the hoopmen took the floor it was evident that the boys were having a bad day. The game was played at a furious pace with Powers of Mission having the day of his life. M. C. fought their hearts out but the ball just kept bouncing off the backboard. Sul¬ livan and Garrett split the scoring honors as we went down 35-26. Smarting from the Mission defeat, the team went to the Prep looking for blood. They almost got their blood too, because the game was very hotly contested. Sullivan and McCullough were put out on fouls, and the fast play on the bandbox court soon tired the remaining players. In the final seconds the Prep scored on a long shot to win 44-42. The next Friday we were scheduled to play Mission. Evidently the weather man didn ' t know it because it was a cold, snowy night. Mission, however, confident of victory brought a large following with them. Malden was not to be denied victory this time and Mission found themselves playing against an altogether different team than the one they had beaten. This time it was Malden that couldn ' t miss. They scored 14 points on seven consecutive shots. Nothing was too hard. Hook shots, long shots, lay-ups, everything went in. Leading at one time by 17 points, M. C. coasted to an easy 7 point victory, 39-32. In their last league game, Catholic displayed some excellently co-ordin¬ ated play. St. Mary ' s of Lynn, the victim, was trounced 39-26. Garrett was high man with 11 points. By virtue of their last two wins, the basketeers succeeded in tying the Prep for third place and thus a play-off game was necessary to decide which team would get the remaining berth in the Tournament. The game was played at the Working Boy ' s Home, a neutral court. Playing away from their bandbox court, the Prep boys were lost and M. C. won easily 51-37. Garrett scored 19 of the 51 points.

Sullivan 10 (U4A ta+tte i£ 7 ime As a result of their victory, M. C. earned the right to compete in the New England Catholic Tournament. As their first opponent, M. C. drew a team that had beaten them twice during the regular season, Law. Catholic, the favorite of the tournament. Naturally, M. C. was the underdog as far as everyone outside of our school was concerned, but we, of the school, thought differently. In our opinion, Lawrence Catholic was no better than we. Convinced that they could setback the Catholic Champs, the hoopsters went out on the court with all the determination that marks a M. C. team, and did set back the mighty Lawrence Catholic in the most thrilling game of the whole tournament by the score, 34-32. Art Garrett was leading scorer with 12 points. Following the Lawrence game, M. C. had to play Mission in the semi-finals the next night. We had beaten Mission once and lost to them once, and as a result did not think Mission would win any more than ourselves. In that game the team tired, they came out on the wrong side of a 29-18 score. John F. was the high scorer. This was our first time in the N. E. Catholic Tournament. H ai kall . . . In the photo are (standing): Gino DiGirolamo, Don LaBossiere, Jack Donelan, Bob Wheeler, Art Gar¬ ret, Joe Palotta, Don Murray, Ray Gagnon, and Bob Donahue. (Kneeling): Bernie Sullivan, Ed Gardiner, Frank McFarland, John F. O ' Donnell, Phil Van Thul enar and John Morrisey. The ball club looks like a champion this year with veterans occupying every position except second base. This slot has been very capably filled by Bob Dillon and with McFarland to bolster our mound staff, the team has rounded into shape rapidly. In the non-league games, the Maldenites went to town upsetting Somer¬ ville, Cambridge Latin, Woburn and Arlington without much trouble. In the league opener Catholic toppled St. Mary ' s of Lynn 8-1. They then took Keith, Central and the Prep over the hurdles by scores of 6-4, 8-0, and 6-4. In the next encounter McFarland pitched a no-hitter against Central. Going on a slugfest the boys battered Mission 20-4. Having thus already beaten the best in the league, they hope to continue this torrid pace and win the league title. 7 cc This year under the direction of a new coach, Mr. Pidgeon, our track team came out of oblivion to become a contender for the Class B championship. Under his tutelage tracksters like Crowley, Donmiran, Farrel, Mullit, Burns and Hyde began to win points; and Gafiey, Ahern, O ' Brien, O ' Leary, Port, Harvey, Fleming and Tibbets, already point winners, instead of just looking for points, became satisfied with only firsts and seconds. When the call for track candidates went out, much to everyone ' s surprise, there were approximately 50 hopefuls. Among the candidates were such sports notables as Joe Palotta and Don Murray. The indoor season showed how helpful the training on Medford ' s indoor track had been and Port, O ' Leary, Gaffey and Tibbetts began piling up wins for M. C. The outdoor season also was very successful thanks to Mr. Pidgeon. In the annual American Legion road race the boys did a very creditable job, finishing fifth in both the Senior and Junior races. ACKNOWLE DGMENTS The members of the HI-WAY staff express their thanks to Brother Charles, Brother Walstan, Mr. Charles Snow of Winn Studios, Mr. Chapman of Donovan and Sullivan Engraving Co., Mr. Scalley of the Century Press, and to the entire faculty and stu- dent body for their aid and co-operation.
