( 12 ) Mapping Our Course ... What is it, but a map of busy life, Its fluctuations and its vast concerns? — William Cowper In Religion where we learned After having seen or heard the recent Senate Crime Hearing, one realizes the im¬ portance of religious instruction in a school ' s curriculum. This foremost R at Malden Catholic includes a daily recitation period as well as the attendance at Mass, the receiving of Communion on special occa¬ sions and also the annual four-day retreat. Religion is the core of the daily schedule. The student cannot but realize that his pri¬ mary end in life is his own personal salva¬ tion through the observance and practices of his Faith. He learns that religion is not just a Sunday affair, but that it is a daily duty In short a Malden Catholic man learns to live his religion. God ' s Blessings. The school year officially opened with the Mass of the Holy Ghost celebrated by Monsignor Fletcher. Instruction. Brother Valens ' junior class in religion partially enjoys one of his bon mots. Practice. Attendance at Mass and the reception of Communion during the an¬ nual retreat is the fruit of the class work. the rules of the road . . What, no lessons? Pat Sweeney, Paul Concannon, Dick Spencer, Joe Hurley and Jim Kerrigan consid¬ er the annual retreat schedule. At this time lessons are put aside so that full attention may be given to the spiritual progress of the students. Master of Ceremonies. Genial but forceful Father O ' Neill of the Passion- ist Fathers was this year ' s retreatmas- ter. His talks were practicable and en¬ joyable, and the students derived much benefit from his four-day series. Take your choice. The Sodality ' s supply of pam¬ phlets provided everyone with a variety of spiritual reading for retreat. The Blessing of the Lord. Each retreat day closed with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament by retreatmaster Father O ' Neil. ( 15 ) Other travel aids were: Reading . . Two weeks. Just about a week before the monthly book reviews are due Mr. O ' Neill has a busy time of it. Larry Miller chose a thin edition for his masterpiece. Carrying six subjects a year in a college course gives the scholars plenty of the traditional three R ' s as they pursue their way through the deeds of Caesar, Cicero and the poetry of Virgil. They relive the course of the world in their social studies. Very few have a good word to say for Descartes, Pythagoras, Euclid, Newton, Faraday, Priestly and Lavoisier as they work the problems of math and science. French is their required modern language. And ' ' Who Said That” can be very amusing on T. V. but not in a literature test. Very good. Brother Michael gives the okay to the diagrams of Bill Larkin and George McCarthy in Freshman English.

In our footsteps THE GREAT MAJORITY Freshman activity was more than purely physical. The class of 1954 was most active in the extra-curricular program. As a group the freshmen were the top ad and patron get¬ ters for the play program. They won honors in the talent show, the poster contest, and orator¬ ical contest. In addition to this freshmen be¬ longed to the Hi-Lite, Vagabonds, Hi-Liters and the poster and camera clubs. Successful J. V. teams in football, basketball and baseball had numerous freshmen in the key spots. With one year ' s experience to its credit the class of 1953 made itself known in a big way. Sophomores dominated the champion¬ ship hockey team with seven regulars. They were also the keymen in basketball and base¬ ball. A sophomore held the presidency of the Camera Club. Second year men were extrem¬ ely active in the orchestra, paper, Vagabonds, and Poster Club. In other words the Class of 1953 became the key class for a majority of the post-school activities. jaw gj . - ■ ,r ' - I 1 Mid-day munchings. DiMasse, Bailey, Doherty, Foley, Bowen, Conley. Welch, Toomey, Cavallo and Barry waste no time in stocking up at the lunch period. The rulers to be who form the class of 1952 also had their signal honors. A junior won the school oratorical contest. Juniors backboned the orchestra, paper, and shared equal honors with the seniors in football and debating. Three C broke all homeroom rec¬ ords in bringing in ads and patrons for the program. Quality rather than quantity was their trade mark in most things. Two juniors were chosen as All-Catholic in football and hockey, to cite an example of quality.

During its sixteen years the club has spent about $16,000 annually in the providing of a field, clubhouse, coaches, e- quipment and collegiate schol¬ arships. Very little of this mon¬ ey has been paid out for labor as the members also do the most of the work. In addition to this the members also raise the greater part of this annual expenditure through their own time and efforts. The unselfish spirit of the Club has been the key to the athletic successes of the school teams. ■■■ Kf § S 1 1 tjm Backer-uppers.

Major games were preceded with a student rally in Columbus Hall. The Vagabonds supplied the mu¬ sic, Brother Evangelus M. C. ' ed the event, and the students yelled themselves hoarse as they cheered and sang. Cheer, cheer! Whenever the cheerleaders called for a cheer or the Vagabonds started a 11 song, the cheering section aug¬ mented by the girls ' school gave out with deafening blasts. If the leaders or band were slow in starting, the students carried on without them. What a gang these loyal rooters are. Count off. Pep for a crucial game called for a parade from the school to the field. Baton- ner Boudreau blazed the way for the Vagabonds and student body who warmed up with cheers and songs as they marched along. ( 29 ) Throw him out.

' s mon¬ opoly was broken for the first time in the league after amassing a string of fifteen consecutive titles. Injuries suf¬ fered in the Everett game proved the turning point. Even in defeat, Malden Catholic displayed tremendous spirit. Senior co-captains Norton and Mala¬ testa were the steadying powers for this green team. Catholic High opened the season with a scoreless tie against a favorite Medford High. Non-veterans Hallice and Pallotta did well in the line. All- Catholic Dan Hurley played his usual fine game. Quarterback Grant kept the team in the game with his daring work in the quarterback slot. Travelling to Springfield, M. C. pinned a 21-12 defeat on Cathedral with first half touchdowns by Norton, Malatesta and Mallon. They hung on desperately in the second half while an aroused Cathedral scored twelve points. At New Bedford the team was held scoreless in the first half but clicked to a 20-0 victory in the second-half with Grant throwing to Gerety, Wilkins and Pallotta for three scores. Mallon and Norton put on fancy running ex- There were times Blood and sweat. Managers Foley, Vendetti and Norton are no glory boys.

The defens¬ ive play of Norton kept New Bedford from scoring on several occasions. Keith came in to town joyously confident but left utterly downhearted on the short end of 20-6. Grant, Norton and Malatesta were the big guns in the victory over Rindge. Hallice, Hurley and Sheehan in the line smothered Rindge ' s famous run¬ ning attack. Everett humbled weakened M. C. 32-0. It was not only the worst defeat ever experienced by a Malden Cathol¬ ic team, but also the worst physical beating that a Catholic High team ever suffered. Greatly weakened by the loss of five regulars in the Everett game, the team lost to the Prep in a seasaw battle at Danvers by 20 - 12. Undefeated Lawrence Catholic handed a spirited and determined M. C. team a 12 - 7 loss and with it went the league championship. Forty minute Norton was the player of the game. The team rebounded against a weak St. Mary ' s of Lynn team for a 44 - 0 victory but played a listless tie with St. Clement ' s to end the season. ( 31 ) Straight-arm him, Tony.

Mallon was always good for better than ten yards on a run to his right or left as seen in another New Bedford pic. Shifty swifty. Dick Wil kins gained a few yards before he got creamed in the St. Clement ' s game. Malatesta and Rucci are the other M. C. players. Three of a kind. Ed Norton, Dan Hurley and Kieran Sheehan were selected as Catholic All- Stars and they deserved it.

They had three experienced players to rely on in Octob¬ er but co-captain Chet Hallice, a 6-4 pivot man, came up with an injury in football and was not able to play until the end of the season. As a consequence co-captain Paul Monahan and Jimmy Clark carried the fight to mid-court as frontmen, but from there to the basket was the problem. Coach Bane had the big backmen but they were inexperienced and found the going tough. They did their best and gained savvy on the offense and defense as the season went along but they were never able to click as a unit. Our floundered VARSITY SCHEDULE M.

Trouble it did cause by winning the first round and also the play-off game with Our Lady ' s, the second round winner, for Malden Catholic ' s seventh straight title. The icemen were warm and cold in early games but were hot in the closing league games and even hot¬ ter in the State Tournament in which they licked both Boston and Cam¬ bridge Latin before losing to Natick in the finals.

There was a big increase in the squads ' numbers and, as a consequence, the indoor and outdoor teams were able to each score a team victory. Last year these same teams were winless. Cross-county had a recorrd of two wins and five losses for the best achievement. Both Brother Valens in cross-country and Brother Marshal in the other two put the blame on insufficient numbers. This is borne out by the excellent work of those who make up the teams which were too un¬ dermanned to score team victories. Linehan, Sheedy, Mozzicato, Phillips and Gordon starred on all three teams. In door and outdoor stars were Wilkins, Mal¬ lon, Curry, Fusco, Allard, McGonagle and Martin. Wilkins wins.

Yet, the season ended with a record of five victories and eleven defeats. The pitching of Gorman, Goggin, Dempsey and Coates, all sophomores, was excellent. With sup¬ port bunts and batted balls which never left the grass of the infield would not have gone as hits. The team was also strong in batting with .300 hitters in co-captains Malatesta and Pallotta, Demp¬ sey and LeDuc.

Enough candidates answered the call to warrant its inauguration in 1952. In fact, a team was hastily chosen to represent the school in the State Tournament. Captain Greg Lynch hopefully led his squad of Antell, Coughlin, Bartlett and Hadley to battle. However, first round scores — top draw secrets — proved that the competition was too stiff for this gallant group which suffered from the lack of praciice.

The Sodality is unique in having every student as a member. Thus with a one-hun¬ dred percent membership all its projects are very successful. Men with a mission. Keymen of the Sodality were Senior Prefects McIntyre, Sasso and Moderator Brother Alexius Joseph. Homeroom helpers.

Top two. The two best posters in the Catholic Press Contest were those of Jim Kane and Walter Pianka, who view their work above. A very important contributing factor to the tre¬ mendous school spirit of Malden Catholic is the Pos¬ ter Club. This club is an informal group whose members are a talented gang of pen and brush users who are all self-taught. They showed up on call to get their assignments for pep posters, or pos¬ ters for a dance, play or contest. No matter what the task was they always came up with the snaz¬ ziest signs — some in ink, others in water colors or paint. Each sign carried its message and fired the student body with enthusiasm for the occasion. Poster Painters Willing workers. Whatever the affair these always made the deadline. First row: P.

Science Club activities were centered on the preparation of projects for three science fairs; viz, those of the School, Archdiocese and State. Bob Bart¬ lett, John Murphy and Dick Calder were the school winners and automatically qualified for the Archdiocesan Fair, with their modulation of light, series-par¬ allel lighting and telegraphic set, respectively. None of them scored in the Archdiocesan Fair, but Bartlett received an honorable mention award in the State. Greg Lynch was Bartlett ' s relief man in all fairs while Art Bruno and Walt Dolan pinch hit for Murphy. ( 52 ) Cameras recorded the trip . . Developing a good photographer is no easy job and it is even more diffi¬ cult when the fixings are lacking. However, President Bill Gillooly carried on his weekly meetings in theory in such a good way that several members now have their own enlargers. With their summer earnings, more boys ex¬ pect to purchase cameras that are capable of taking pix for the school news¬ paper and yearbook.

Led by seniors Bob Kelleher and Dick Mulrenan the team was fairly strong even though Gerety and Lenihan were new at the art of debating. The team never did worse than split in any contest and the one point loss to Central Catholic made the difference.

But everyone agreed on a super Publishing the 1951 Hi-Way was like solving a puzzle, but a lot more dif¬ ficult as the senior class had but sev¬ enty-five members. Furthermore, the usual socials netted less than usual and the class was seven months be¬ hind in the payments. The Hi-Way was just about a thing of the past when the senior officers and Hi-Way staff injected plenty of spirit into the non- cooperators. As in the past the aid of the jun¬ iors was solicited on the necessary one-hundred percent basis and they came through. The final hump was cleared when thirty underclassmen signed as subscribers.

Boston College Journalism It has been a savage enough pilgrimage — David H. Lawrence Commencement exercises on Sunday, June 3rd, at the Immaculate Con¬ ception Church completed the course. The photos below summarize the pro¬ cession, the reception of the diplomas and the admiration of proud parents. Acknowledgements When a staff sits down to plan a yearbook, it immediately real¬ izes its own incompetence and then begins to appreciate the import¬ ance of friends who are ever-willing to lend a helping hand. The staff of 1951 had a host of sympathetic friends whose help and cooperation have made the editing of this book a pleasure and accordingly extends grateful thanks to: Rt. Rev. John J. Fletcher — Pastor Brother John Edward, C. F. X. — and the faculty of Malden Cath¬ olic. Brother Hyacinth, C. F. X. for his lettering. Sister Vitalia, S. S. N. D., and the Sisters of her community.
