' 53 will remember Monsignor Fletcher for a number of reasons. The primary one being that it was he who gave us the opportunity to be educated in a wonderful school like Malden Cath¬ olic, secondly, because he has been an inspirational spiritual leader. In the years he has been at the Immacu¬ late, the Monsignor has accomplished a great deal and deserves much praise. In recognition of this work, our Holy Father has seen fit to reward him. First, several years ago by elevating him to the rank of Monsignor; and now, by adding the honor of Pro- thonotary Apostolic. The class of ' 53 would like to add their congratulations of this, well deserved honor. PRIESTLY TASK — Father Fletcher adminis¬ ters the Holy Eucharist during the opening day Mass.

FAMILIAR CHORE —BRO. JOHN checks tickets for the game bus. ROLL CALL — BRO. JOHN opens the ' 53 school year. In dedicating our year book, we have chosen the man whom we shall always remember when reminiscing our lour years at Malden Catholic. When we came to M. C. as freshmen, Brother John guided us through the threshold of high school education; and when our senior year approached us, he aided us in choosing our many different fields in life. We shall always remember what he did for us as a body and individually. We shall always remember the many activi¬ ties he introduced at M. C., during his tenure, such as the Choral Group, and the new sub¬ jects he introduced, such as biology. The school has earned such a good reputation during his tenure that more students have to be turned away, than those accepted in Sep¬ tember. (2 SUvsA QuJbilsx Salute in Shniiwi Siuwnn.

The Seven Keys to Baldpate was well calculated to keep us in suspense. We never did guess the villian. During our Sophomore year, the football team floundered, but the hockey team had an exceptionally thrilling season. Who could ever forget the exciting playoffs and the spectacular over-time game with Cambridge Latin! We had a thrilling ride on The Ghost Train”, as it roared through Columbus Hall, and we roared at it. Among the most precious things in life are memories. While we ' re young we think that we ' ll always remember the happy times of our school days. However, as we get old and have other things to worry about, our memories are apt to grow dim; hence, we have the ' 53 Hi-Way to capture and hold the thoughts and events of these happy days. The memoirs of the class of ' 53 start in our freshman year of ' 49- ' 50. In that year we won the Catholic League title in football for the 16th time, and in hockey for the 6th.

The basketball team also began to show power when it won a berth in the State Tourna¬ ment. We had a very enlightening sojourn with A CONNECTICUT YANKEE IN THE COURT OF KING ARTHUR. Our most treasured memories, of course, will be those of the Senior Year. Football started off badly, but the situation was soon on the up-grade, as the hockey and basketball teams ( 9 ) started setting the world on fire. The hockey team playing an independent, was invited to participate in the State Hockey Tournament, where it was beaten by Walpole in the finals. Things were a little different in their next tournament when it captured the title of New England Hockey Champions. The basketball team was beaten in the semi-finals of the State Catholic Invitational Tourney, and in the finals of the Assumption College tourney, but it won Malden Catholic its first basketball trophy in the latter. pJuzysbd, Aiwdi d, plaifsud, wohkod and ch Md.

It won the Catholic League title and was subsequently invited to play in the State Tournament, where i t was defeated by Milford in the first game. However, studies were not forgotten during this hectic year. We could ill afford to loaf as most of us had College Board Exams hanging over our heads. This concentration paid off in a big way, however, as we rang up a jack¬ pot of over $25,000 in scholastic scholarships. We alsd added more prizes as we won both the debating and oratory titles. Big Hearted Herbert stalked through Co¬ lumbus Hall leaving gales of laughter in his wake. Everyone agreed that our last retreat was the best of all. Father Eagan, S.A., of Gray- moor Garrison, was retreat master. Then, of course, no one will ever forget the Senior outing at Canobie Lake. We risked our limbs on roller skates, our hearts on the roller coaster, and our lives in the canoes. Last, but not least, came graduation. A little sadness was mixed with our joy at leaving old M. C. As years go by, we may forget some of what we learned, but one thing is certain — ' 53 will always remember M. C. A baseball victory. Outing scene. Graduation March. S3 dbuTwmbcAA ( YYl.

ANNUAL RETREAT —The annual retreat for the entire school was held during Passion Week. It was a four day program devoted entirely to our spiritual welfare. Father Patrick Egan, S.A. was a truly excellent retreat master. FEELING THE BRAIN WAVES eman¬ ating from Savage as he reels off the answers in English I is Brother Michael.

A gentleman always has a good word for everyone and so the Seniors throw a bouquet to the Juniors. There is nothing else we can do about it. It ' s all a matter of record in this year ' s HI-WAY as you ' ll see as you read on. In oratory the Juniors can well be proud of Fred Marker who brought two major cham¬ pionships to the school. In the school play the two male leads went to Fred and Kevin Kiley. They got the nod in open competition. Marker jclaAMA $ok making, oak ymmohistk pJsza ani. and Tracy were big guns in the championship debating team. In summing up our memories of our Sopho¬ mores we can remember that a sophomore class brought in the most money in program ads. We can recall Rod O ' Connor as a regular on the championship hockey team. In football there was little Ed Bergen as quarterback. Pete Carr was cf pinch-hitter in baseball. No doubt there are other incidents of Sophs mak¬ ing good but these are fresh in our memories. The Freshmen had plenty to be proud of and so did we. Dick Wilson saw plenty of action in football and so did John Turner in hockey. John, as a substitute, pulled the hat trick in a game with the Brown Frosh to lead the team to a 6-4 victory. In addition to this, the Frosh as always dis¬ tinguished themselves as the best group in bringing in school play program advertise¬ ments. jfi m 3A First Row: J. Trabucco, R. Costa E. Roach, J.

SODALITY Possibly the most important activity at M. C. is the Sodality of Our Lady. It is our oldest activity and the only one in which the student body is enrolled 100 percent. The purpose of the Sodality is to aid the missions, home and foreign. We try to do this in several ways. First of all, and most important, by our prayers. Secondly, by giving what material aid we are able to. Monthly classroom collections provide part of the funds. During the Lenten season, all students receive mite boxes which they fill and return after Easter. Each homeroom has its own repre¬ sentative who takes care of all class Sodality matters. Brother Alexius- was the faculty moderator. SENIOR SUMS — Senior Sodality prefects make the monthly homeroom financial report to Moderator Bro. Alexius.

' s sixth annual Science Fair and the judges tallies showed the winners to be Bill Hurley, Jim Derba, and Jim McTeague in that order. In succeeding fairs all three scored honorable mention awards in the Archdiocesan Fair and McTeague scored a similar award in the State Fair. McTeague ' s project was a demon¬ stration which showed the rectifica¬ tion of A. C. to D. C. with the aid of an ocilloscope. The effect of wind on an airplane in flight was Bill Hurley ' s exhibit and Jim Derba ' s entry dealt with the principles of series and parallel circuits in elec¬ tricity. Moderator Brother Evangelus along with Brother Quentin were the judges. CONGRATULATIONS — Second place winner Jim Derba asks Jim McTeague who came in th’rd and Bill Hurley who came in first, to guess the bulb that will light. Jim designed this exhibit to show the characteristics of parallel and series lighting. Jhsdh 1:30 (2. yfl.. vkioAq pWiadc fiwm Wlaldm SquaM On Sunday morning March 15 at 1:30 A. M. the Space Cadets unloaded in Malden Square and proceeded to scare the daylights, or at least the slumber out of the citizens living in the west side area of Malden. In fact they scared the life out of most of them because answers to their angered inquiries about the commotion were simply — the Space Cadets are on the march. It was true because M. C. ' s Space Cadets were leading a hockey victory parade of almost a thousand rooters up Pleasant street. The Space Cadets are aptly named because their music is out of this world. They are an impromptu group who play at the prep rallies and form the nucleus of the cheering sections at games. ' 53 will never forget them and neither will the people of Malden. ■pPr ' -.

C. in its usual terse style of journalism, the Hi-Lite staff under modera¬ tor Brother Michael sought out the spec¬ tacular and human interest side of the doings around the school. Consequently, the Hi-Lite added to the spirit of Malden Catholic with its original features and tidbits about M. C., and the avid interest given each issue by the student body was sufficient praise for the hardworking staff. In commemorating the tenth anniver¬ sary of the Hi-Lite, the last issue paid tribute to Brother Charles, former head¬ master, Brothers Michael and Walstan who we ' re the co-founders and to the first student editor Gerry Weidmann ' 44. COLLECTOR ' S ITEM — On the tenth anniversary of the Hi-Lite Brother Michael talks over with Paul Shannon the first issue of the Hi-Lite. Paul was the editor in 1947 . SENIOR STAFFMEN — Happy smiles are the tip-off that their tasks are over. They did a good job and can well look a little boastful.

O1V1 happy WHAT ' S NEXT — Leader of the band George Murphy tells Roy White that he ' s due for a solo. During the year we figured on about eight school dances. Music for the social side of our school life was usually recordings of the latest hits — at least the latest one, if two months old can be called the latest. When attendance began to fall off, we were always brought back by the news that the Hi-Liters were going to play. This was something special and the majority of us immediately made it a date to treat a date. Orchestra dancing is not to be passed over and we usually had no trouble getting a partner. While we might have suspected that the Hi-Liters were the reason for the acceptance, we didn ' t let it bother us because we liked the Hi-Liters also. The Hi-Liters for ' 53 were thirteen in number. Quite an organization for a high school swing band, but it is even more remarkable when you realize, that music at M. C. is strictly extra-curri¬ cular. To make the Hi-Liters the candi¬ date has to be able to play an instru¬ ment. From there it is all a matter of getting in the groove through a weekly practice with Brother Servanus super¬ vising. Besides playing for the school dances and other school functions the Hi-Liters book several dates for other schools and parishes, who have come to know their fame. ( 34 ) mcmohicA include dancing to the du-dil hA. ALL TOGETHER. The second row boys in¬ clude senior John Gibbons, a three year man on the trombone, junior Frank Lydon, a two year vet at first trumpet and soph John Hasenstab, who crashed the group as a freshman.

Arguing the topic Resolved: That The Atlantic Pact Nations Should Form A Fed¬ eral Union the M. C. team took eleven out of twelve debates to bring the Cath¬ olic Championship to Malden Catholic. The affirmative twosome of Senior Bob Shea and Junior Fred Marker made it a clean sweep with a record of six for six; while the duet of Senior Art Conley and Junior Art Tracy dropped their opening negative side debate to Mission of Rox- bury and then went on to take their other five contests. Oratory was a one man show with Fred Marker declamating his way to two Catholic Championships. His first title was that of the Boys ' League and his second was the Archdiocesan title in competition with the girls and parish champs. Representing the Archdiocese for the Eastern States Diocese champion¬ ships at Baltimore, Maryland, Fred suf¬ fered his first defeat as he placed fifth. Intra-school oratorical honors went to three freshmen with Joe Tribble, Joe Gannon and Tom Elliot placing in that order. INTRODUCING THE TOPIC and contestants of each home debate was the task of Senior Tom Lloyd, who served as chairman. Lining up their notes are Marker, Shea and alternate Fred Ryan.

He did it this year by winning the Catholic Title in the Boys ' Division. John Sheehan of B. C. High was the runner up. (tilth all ojua msmohisiA pMA swsud $oA ua in COPY COMING UP — Banging out the copy and the identifications were the jobs of the happy trio of Ted O ' Donnell, Paul Crane and Jack Garvey. Usually they are serious workers and this is just one of their lighter monjents. EXAMINING THE LAYOUTS for the ' 53 Hi- Way are co-editors Bill Gillooly, Jack Toomey and Brother Evangelus. Their task was to arrange the picture layouts to fit the page without leaving too little or too much blank space for the copy. With the theme ' 53 Remember M. C. as the goal, the 1953 Hi-Way staff set itself what appeared to be an easy goal, but it soon learned that it had a terrific job to do. In keeping with the motto, the editors went all out to produce the best book ever at M. C. As a result snags were met which could only be solved through patience and time. Yet in spite of these difficulties, which were in addi¬ tion to those which normally occur, the staff never gave up hope. As a consequence the publishing date had to be set back a couple of months rather than hack out a volume which would not do justice to the theme or the class of ' 53 which it stars. Even if the theme and layout don ' t meet the approval of all, which is doubtful, the editors will truly remember M. C. and those tedious hours which have gone into editing the memories of ' 53. FACTS ON FILE — Jim Coates and Fred Hobin took care of filing the information of each event and ac¬ tivity. The file is not the Hi-Way ' s or the school ' s.

Big-Hearted Herbert gave his family, rela¬ tives and friends a hard time of it around his home with this frequent pop-offs, until they decided that it was time for a change. He at first appeared a bit allergic to his own medi¬ cine, but he soon mellowed as a result of imbibing it under the skillful administrations of his wife and family. Producing Big-Hearted Herbert wasn ' t an easy job, but coach Mrs. Asmus assisted by Brother Simeon put in long hours with a co¬ operative cast to make it a huge success. The cast acted with the poise and polish of pro¬ fessionals. As in the past the girls from Girls ' Catholic High took the feminine roles. Financially the play was also a tremendous success as the entire student body of M. C. got behind it and brought in $5500 dollars in program ads for a new record with homeroom 2C leading the way. In fact the total-exceeded the school ' s goal by $2000 dollars. Congratulations go also to the stagehands and ushers who performed their jobs in expert fashion.

S3 fad ike UaJi ih} Malden Catholic ' s Varsity Club is an organization of athletes who have already won their letters. The club ' s purpose is one of keeping interest high in the sports pro¬ gram among the athletes by giving them a target to aim at — that of being nominated ' ' most valuable. The ath¬ letes so honored receive trophies at the periodic rallies. All together there are seventeen trophies awarded each yecr with only seven going to members of the varsity teams. The other ten are given to the most valuable boys in the J. V. and freshman teams. Varsity recipients for this year were: Jim Behenna in football, Dick Cavanaugh in Hockey, Ed Moran in basketball, Mike McDonough in cross-ccuntry, Ed Allarfd in both indoor and outdoor track and Jim Coates in baseball. J. V. honors in fcotball, basketball and baseball went to Don Gerety, John O ' Donnell and Howie Bents. Fresh¬ man trophies were awarded to Jerry Weitz, Pete Bergen, John Lynd and Bill Larkin in football, hockey, basketball and baseball. The wheels of this peppy club for 1952-1953 were Ernie LeDuc president, Bob Santo vice-president, Ed Allard secretary, with Dan Goggin as treasurer. Brother Servan- us was the moderator. Funds for the trophies come from the club ' s annual Talent Show. This is quite an affair as all of the talent comes from M. C. Contestants have to perform their way through three separate shows, the first two of which are eliminations with the best seven of each appearing in the final round. Junior Frank Lynch copped first place with his sweet warbling. Tied for second were Len Barbarisi who sang to his own accompaniment and Robert Rice whose classi¬ cal selections were superb.

( 60 ) 4 Ending up in the cellar of the Catholic League was a new but very unpleasant experience for the Blue Jackets of M. C. The team lost seven, won one, and tied one. The only victory was over Keith and the tie occured in the Revere game. Somehow or other, the club could never get rolling. To be sure, there were a lot of inexperienced players but what hurt most was the inability of the experienced boys to carry the extra burden. Fumblitis was the biggest sin but that isn ' t pecu¬ liar to M. C. alone. Between their own twenty and the opponent ' s twenty the club could roll in a satis¬ factory manner. But cnce inside the twenty, nothing went right. In an effort to get rolling, Coaches Gilligan and Smith changed from the single-wing attack to the popular T-formation, but things continued as before. Even switching the backfield around didn ' t help the cause. Though victories were rare, there was still a cheery side to the dismal situation as a lot of boys saw action and developed experience, which will show .up next year. Right from the start, the boys of the Blue and Gold were in the hole. In fact, it was a 22 - 0 hole dug by Rindge Tech of Cambridge. In the next game, Chelsea High followed up the devastation with a 19 - 0 victory over M. C. Then came the Keith game, the solitary win of the season by the Blue Jackets. This game will long be remembered for it was a 13 - 0 victory. M. C. ' s fortunes almost continued against Revere but ended with a 0 - 0 tie. Cambridge Latin eked out a 7 - 6 victory. Water- town inundated M. C., 32 - 7. St. Mary ' s of Lynn beat the Blue Jackets 34 - 6, and the Prep shut out the Blue and Gold 20 - 0.

Lead by towering Jim Mead the basketball team made history at M. C. by winning the first basketball trophy for M. C. as they bowed to Brookline in the finals of the Assumption College Invitational Tournament at Worcester, Mass. Coach Bane ' s boys also scored another first when they became the first M. C. basketball team to beat L. C. They almost made history twice again as they tied for second place with L. C. in the Catholic League and lost to L. C. in overtime in the semi-finals of the State Catholic Tourna¬ ment. Offensively they were up with the best in the state but it was defensive weakness which allowed them to drop five games while winning twenty for the best basket¬ ball season in the history of the school. Carrying the load along with Mead were five other spectacular seniors, who were Jim Coates, Len Dempsey, Paul Canniff, Bob Gulla, and Ed Moran. The 53 team will be. long talked about. The most thrilling game of the season was a 50 - 49 victory over powerful Lawrence Central. For years M. C. has always been trying hard to beat Central but without good fortune. This year the team was up and in a ding-dong, see-saw battle M. C. grabbed a substantial lead of 6 points mid¬ way through the last period and things looked good for the Blue and Gold. Net to be denied, Central rose from the floor in the spirit of a true warrior and fought back with a fury that would have made teams of lesser fortitude fold. But M. C. was not to be beaten and with the tenaci¬ ousness of an infuriated bulldog, Coach Bane’s boys clung to the lead even though it was only a one point one when the final whistle sounded.

Playing an independent schedule because the Catholic League folded, they opened the season with three losses in a row and then rebounded to take the N. E. Crown with a 20 - 5 record in competition with College freshmen and high school teams. They started the season with a 6 - 1 loss to Hamden, Conn. Harvard and B. C. Freshmen beat them for two more losses. Victories with high schools followed before the B. C. Freshmen again bumped them 2 - 1 in the final minute. No more defeats occurred until the finals of the State when Walpole won 1 - 0. In State play, the Blue Blades had two narrow squeaks in getting by B. C. High 1 - 0 in overtime and Brookline 3 - 2 in four overtimes, in the quarter and semi-finals respectively. In N. E. plcry, the team opened with a 2 - 1 overtime victory over St. Dominic ' s the State of Maine champs, and then shut out Notre Dame, N. H. champs, from Berlin, and Burriville Hign, State Champs out of R. I. in the N. E. ' s at Providence. For Coach Bert Kenty, this was his second N. E. title. He did the trick before in 1948. In fact, Coach Kenty has also led M. C. teams to eight Catholic League titles in eight years. No wonder the League called it quits. ALL-NEW ENGLAND ' S STARS from M.

C. is an ail year round sport with three different teams. _ The season opens in the fall with the cross-country harriers run¬ ning in the Met League with weekly contests over the Fresh Pond Course in Cambridge. In January the team goes into indoor competition in class C of the Met League for a weekly series of several dual meets. In April the team moves outdoor where it runs in an independent sched¬ ule as there is no league. Cross-Country had a so so season with two victories and three defeats. The brightest star of all contestants was M. C ' s lanky, long-endur¬ ing and speedy boy, Mike McDonough who was the only un-defeated runner for the season. Indoor track was a bit better with a 3 - 2 record in mighty stiff competition. Ed Allard was the big point getter. Outdoor track had the best season with three wins and one loss. The big goal of this season is the State Catholic Meet which M. C. lost to the Prep by one-half a point. Misfortune struck twice in this meet when two M. C. men came up with side-lining injuries after they won their heats. This was more than the relay team could absorb in the final and deciding race of ihe meet. START AND FINISH - Finney spills at the start of the mile leaving McCarthy and Kelly to finish but Finney got up and came in first as Sullivan and McNeeley watch. JUMPING ED ALLARD scores a first in the triangular meet against the Prep and Revere. Norm LaBossieie is the man with the rake. RON VENDITTI overtook Fahey of the Prep to win the 100 with Vin Simonelli placing third in the meet at Brother Gilbert Stadium. j diampjuonAhipA.

LEN DEMPSEY bangs one on the ground through the middle in the Cambridge Latin game. TOUGH ERNIE - Ernie LeDuc failed to connect for an infield hit in the St. John ' s Prep game. ' 53 ftolbowsA ihs For the second straight year the Blue Sox captured the Catholic League Crown and lost out in the first round of the Eastern Massachusetts play-offs. It was all a mat¬ ter of good defense with an explosive beginning for the sox as they won thirteen out of sixteen in a schedule which was all but washed out by the numerous spring rains. Coach Brother Firmin had a green thumb as he jug¬ gled his line-up from game to game. Big Jim Coates car¬ ried the pitching load with Dan Goggin, another pitcher, as battery mate. Len Dempsey, the number two pitcher was in the outfield or at first depending on who was pitcn- ing. Coates handled first with Len on the mound and Norb LaVigne came in from right field to catch when Gog¬ gin was throwing them up as pitcher. Bob Thacher was the fireballing relief specialist. Milford eventual Champs nosed out the Blue Sox 3 - 1 in a superb game at Fenway Park in the Eastern Mass Play-Offs. ( 78 ) VARSITY SCHEDULE Cambridge L. 5 Somerville 5 Rindge 4 N.

H. On arriving at the playgrounds, the picnickers lost no time in heading for the baseball and softball diamonds to work up an appetite. The feature game of the day was the softball con¬ test between the boys and jhe girls. The girls won only because the boys batted opposite their regular way and also made a few costly, but purposeful errors. After a picnic lunch, the brave took to the boats and canoes for the annual splashing party from which everyone returned soaking wet. The skaters who were the wisest spent a pleasant after¬ noon cavorting around the spacious rink. The thrill-seekers took to the coaster and wished they hadn ' t as they stood once more on terra firma. Those with less wisdom went on the Dodgems to their own regret, but they all admit¬ ted they had a crashing good time. Even the Carousel had patronage from the timid and the brave. After a tiring, but delightfully pleas¬ ant day, all returned home without dis¬ sent. JUST BEFORE TAKE-OFF - Welch, Gillooly, Derba - not aga ; n - Han¬ nah, Hobin, Champagne, Clark, Ca- vallo and Chisholm pose for a pic. All the pretty girls are from Girl ' s Catholic High.

Sunday, June 1, 1953 was a very happy day for ' 53. It was Gradua¬ tion Day. Anticipations and dreams had it as a day of liberation from school and its accompanying disci¬ pline. Yet as dawn came and the subsequent parental call followed, the members of ' 53 didn ' t hop out of bed and shout Alleluia. ' ' It was a deliberate arising full of meditation on the past and the future. Courage crrose within as ' 53 remembered that they were to start the day with at¬ tendance at the Graduation Mass which Father Fletcher was saying for their intentions. ' 53 was there on time and in force and they felt an elation which they had never experi¬ enced before. It was interior and it was understood. And ' 53 thanked the Lord for all His wonderful Bless¬ ings, and prayed for help to keep them as they were taught how by the Brothers and Priests.

Following the Mass, ' 53 breakfast¬ ed a catered meal with the Senior girls from Girls ' Catholic as their guests at Mary Hall. After the meal, ' 53 was welcomed into the Malden Catholic Alumni Association by Pres¬ ident Howie McBride. Brother John Edward and Monsignor Fletcher also addressed them briefly, in well- chosen words. Included in this group are Jim Der- ba, Don Hallissey, Dick Buckley, Les Comeau, Ed Halpin, Don Welch, Fred Hobin and Vin Cavallo. That evening ' 53 again assembled in the Parish Church for the official services which included an inspir¬ ing talk by Father Moriarity, 1943. Father Fletcher then proudly present¬ ed each member of the ' 53 class his much-longed for diploma. Father al¬ so read the scholastic awards gar¬ nered by ' 53, which totaled over $25,000 in value. Benediction closed the services. ' 53 was no longer of M. C., but ' 53 will always remember M. C. President McBride of the M. C. Alumni welcomed the grads into the Associat ion.
