Tom was a quiet fellow with a warm pleasant smile. He spoke only when necessary and when he spoke he said something. Tom had the drive and ' 55 is only too pleased to let him set the pace for ' 55 doings in this book. l if- ' ' WEm , $P M r n •- V ' ? ' j@p ■■■■ iBSS Siai Mf3| llfl ■ ■ ■p«r cwiu Mt � 11 , .

On Friday, July 23, Archbishop Cushing ap¬ pointed Reverend Joseph J. Leonard to succeed the deceased Msgr. Fletcher as pastor of the Immaculate Conception Parish. Ordained on June 3, 1920, by Bishop Ander¬ son the new pastor served at St. Columkille ' s Brighton, St. Agnes, Belmont, Our Lady of Lourdes, Beachmont and Saint John ' s Church, Cambridge. November 7, 1944 found Father being appointed parish priest at Saint Mary ' s Church in Chelmsford and on June 16, 1947 he was made pastor of Saint Theresa ' s Church in Revere. Since his installation as pastor Father has guided M.C. men in their spiritual and mental lives. It was he who inaugurated the monthly confession before First Friday — a gesture most appreciated by all. While not forgetting Monsignor Fletcher, who was our spiritual in¬ spiration for three years, we welcome Father Leonard and hope that his stay will be both long and fruitful. 4 PRIESTLY DUTY — Father Leonard distributes Holy Communion to M.C. students. 55 z t e ctiive. $TV0l£$ FK 06 M of HS 57 THE MASS OF THE HOLY GHOST opened ' 55 ' s final year. LOTS OF DRIVE — ' 55 had drive from the very begin¬ ning of the year. Here are some of them whooping it up at an outdoor rally in September.

This was aptly chosen and followed down to the very last day. Members of ' 55 spear-headed both the foot¬ ball and baseball teams to league titles. Sen¬ iors dominated in all school activities such as the play, newspaper, yearbook, debating, ora¬ tory, and orchestra. Scholastically ' 55 was in there all the way as they had a goodly repre¬ sentation on the honor roll. Probably ' 55 ' s greatest evidence of their DRIVE and love for M.C. was exemplified by AC which turned in over $726.00 to lead the school in the annual program drive. WHAT ' S NEW — A familiar M.C. picture was that of delivering the daily bulletin. Lowney is the taker. CONGRATULATIONS — Monsignor Carroll and Tom Lane of the C.Y.O. present Larry Keohane his medal for coming in first in the high jump in the C.Y.O. meet. CHOW TIME — McGrath, Cronin, Meagher.

O ' Neil, Dorrance, McCarthy, Dunphy, Ryan and McNeil. Determination to succeed is another way of expressing that urge of drive. Drive is net on¬ ly physical and mental but also spiritual. Spiritual success is not just a mere wishing. It is a combination of both the physical and mental processes. Thus it was fer ' 55. ' 55 set the example for spiritual drive through¬ out the homerooms of M.C. with its splendid example of spirituality in conduct, prayer, and Mission aid. The Sodality honors cur Blessed Lady and everyone of ' 55 had a true love fer her. They erected homeroom May Altars. They recited her rosary daily. The underclasses likewise honored Mary Our Mother along similar lines. SENIOR LEADERS for the Sodality v ere MacDonald, Zanor and Gerety. 32 maintain it afusUtuat ciliae.

CHRISTMAS Wednesday morning ASSEMBLY December 22, 1954 To many, the holy season of Christmas is a Line of pagan rejoicing and Christ ' s ccming cn earth to save man frcm damnation is far frcm their minds. But this was not the case for these of us of ' 55. Most of us were in the choral group under the direction of Brother Earl. Our Program wes of a spiritual nature, which dwelt with the real purpose of Christmas. It certainly wasn ' t a dead program. Every¬ one enjoyed it immensely and left Columbus Hall with that happy and holy feeling that is associated with God.

THE REAL MEANING OF CHRISTMAS was the subject of John Geaney ' s talk which was truly a masterpiece. JOINING IN with the Carolers on some numbers were all the students. Some of the joiners were Marshall, Watt, Gallant. Phelan, Zech, Kehoe, O ' Brien, Ryan, Finnegan, Doonan and Tribble. They added plenty of volume but their quality didn ' t rate any raves. How¬ ever, they sounded nice. 7 £e r¥i- zii t e cCii e Before Henry can do any dancing, Henry must have music and to have dancing music he needs an orchestra. Not just any orchestra but an orchestra that has drive. The Hi-Liters had the drive for ' 55 and that is why they were such a pleasant ccmbo to dance to — How about it, Henry? Actually the Hi-Liters didn ' t feature the R ' n R or R ' n B style of music. Instead they played these real smooth offerings which were so pleasant for dancing. Brother Servanus served as moderator and faculty manager while Bob Hasenstab dhected the Hi-Liters through their busy and enjoyable season. THE LEADER OF THE BAND — Bob Hasenstab is seen chatting with vocalists Rose Mary Kane and Alice Fleming, Brother Servanus is the moderator. KEEN COMBO — The Hi-Liters were composed of Tom O ' Brien, Alice Fleming, Bob Augusta, Bill Flynn, Bob Hasenstab, Jim Hickey, Roy White, Ed Finn, Tom Gan¬ non, Paul Finnegan and Mark Anderson. 36 SUGAR BLUES — Tom Gannon and Bob White are the men with the melodious horns that you hear in the Hi- MB ' Liters. f• rtfrrfi NOT ONE BUT TWO instruments is the worry of Ed Finn. Here he shows Jim Hickey the finger move¬ ments for a clarinet. BE-BOP —Bill Flynn and Bob Augusta were a couple of more sax-men who could get a job with Guy Lom¬ bardo anytime. INDIVIDUALISTS —Mark Anderson is the d rummer, Paul Finnegan is the man with the horn, and Tom O ' Brien is the pianist. ?nicUu} ' Jfty t DcLKce filea ect 55 M.C. ' s social side of its well-rounded educa¬ tional program was taken care cf by those open Friday night dances in Columbus and Mary- hall under the supervision of Brother Nelson and his dance committee. A senior ' s year is a big year for him. That year includes the Senior Prom among his big events. He has to have a partner for that oc¬ casion and naturally enough members of ' 55 got the drive to attend these affairs with the hopes of getting a partner. Needless to say they did very well. With the underclasses it was a case of attend¬ ing and then congregating in a crowd along the Charles St. side while trying to get up cour¬ age to ask a girl for a dance which usually didn ' t happen until the last number was an¬ nounced. NOW GET THIS says Brother Nelson to Kearney, Campbell and Foley. McSweeney guarded the doors against non-paying customers. If 1 c . c % •• 1 ► . H • ■ -safe 4 m i — J 1 !

Grinnell, Fo¬ ley and Ferzoco among those in attendance. 55 a, drive fo Attending the Senior Prom was more than a short drive to the class of ' 55. In fact the sen¬ iors probably felt that they had been taken for a sleigh ride when they looked at their deplet¬ ed wallets after the aifair was over. Actually it was a most enjoyable evening for them. They have their memories of get¬ ting their dates, the fitting of the tux, the order¬ ing of the corsages, viewing themselves self consciously in their home mirrors, the com¬ ments of their parents nd their partners par¬ ents on how wonderful they looked and how beaptiul their girls looked. The Dorothy Quincy Suite was excellent. Everyone looked swell. Marshal Young ' s mus¬ ic was dreamy and the Grand March was thr 1 ling.

I M ■ ' S -Ky 4 Jr Every December marks the all out drive for everyone in pushing the annual play patron drive up to the $5000.00 mark. Needless to say all in school in ' 55 put themselves out and hit the $5000.00 goal. With the announcement of the drive comes also the news of tryouts for the annual play. Coach, Mrs. Pauline Freeman Asmus and moderator Brother Simeon once again did aa excellent job in their successful production of Arsenic and Old Lace . Of course, a good coach needs a good cast. Mrs. Asmus had it and she trained it to professional perfection. There were thrills, chills and good belley laughs throughout the play. Who will forget Kearney ' s bellowing — Charge? John Gean- ey was quite a villian? So was his assistant Mike Pi azzola, Frank MacMillan really hugged Janet Hughes. How about Gerety, Porcella and Kehoe as the Cops? Fred Ryan got along just fine with Loretta Carroll and Sally McDonough. Who didn ' t hear Pat Walsh and Marily McPhee prompting in the wings. Joe Gannon and J. F. O ' Leary did well also.

CHAMPION DEBATERS — Congrat¬ ulating each other on their being the best two man debating team in the Suffolk University Invitational Tournament for 1955 are John Ben¬ edetto and Joe Mullin. Each also re¬ ceived a gold medal. They were finalists and to the perennial girl champs from St. Joseph ' s. Som¬ erville in the final round. 7 55 What ' s in a word? — There ' s plenty if you go to M. C. and participate in the extra¬ curricular activities of debating and oratory. Brother Simeon is the coach and with him these two activities are not seasonal but all-year round doings. Hard work pays off for those fortunate par¬ ticipants. This year ' s record shows that. The debating team in C. Y. O. competition came in second. St. Mary ' s of Lynn took them twice and B. C. High once. In the Suffolk University Tournament the negative team of Mullen and Benedetto went to the finals with a 6-1 record. In oratory there were successes also. Se¬ nior John Geaney, a veteran orator, represented M. C. in the C. Y. O. Contest. He won in the preliminary contests but lost out in the finals.

With a small staff we began late in the year to put together the story of the Qlass of ' 55 using as our theme ' 55 Has The Drive . Although receiving the 1955 Hi-Way at this late date the staff of the Hi-Way hopes that it EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Bill Kearney man¬ ages a brief smile in spite of all the picture choosing that faces him.

This book would not have been possible without the endless labors of Brother Evangelus whom in his new position as principle of the Xaver- ian High School in Bangor we wish every success. And for the Class of ' 55 it is our wish that this book will be a constant reminder of all the events of their final year at M.C. 55 ' dtive evcL6 lecatctect fieiiodicatly COOKING UP a good issue for each edition was the job of Editor-in-chief John Geaney and Mod¬ erator Brother Michael. THE HI-LITE 1954-1955 TTc inform the public — That is the job of a newspaper, and that was the job done by the Hi- Lite in 54 and ' 55. Editor-in-Chief John Geaney, and associate editcrs Bob Porcella and Tom Cole¬ man with the assistance of Moderator Brother Michael, instilled their drive into the rest of the staff. With John Geaney at the helm, the paper sailed along smoothly, keeping the entire student body up to date on the goings on in the school. Since the year 1954 was both Marian Year and Xaver- ian Centennial Year, the Hi-Lite gave complete coverage on all events connected with these two important anniversaries. With the typical drive of ' 55, the Hi-Lite waged an anti-Santa Claus cam¬ paign, aimed at reinstating the true spirit of Christ¬ mas. Also brought to light during ' 55 was the 22 year history of Malden Catholic. Besides the special features, there were the reg¬ ular articles: news and sports stories, the Oh Brother and Gradad columns, the Alumnite and West Sidelights columns, and, of course, the hum¬ or columns. Sprucing up the pages of the Hi-Lite were the pictures of Brother Evangelus and the drawings of underclassman Joe Tribble and John (?) Enright. Under the direction of John Geaney, the 54- ' 55 issues of the Hi-Lite were received with as much enthusiasm by the student body as were any previous series of issues of the Hi-Lite. SENIOR SCRIBES — Senior members of the Hi-Lite were Celata, Clark Vendettis, Coleman.

BIG RALLY as viewed from above shows the tremendous enthusiasm shown by all the classes. M. C. ' s FRIEND Bill Linsky pays trib¬ ute to the fine sportsmanship exhib¬ ited by Malden Catholic on the field of play. All the drive that ' 55 had was not scholastic. ' 55 had drive in everything and pep rallies were no exception. On hearing that a rally was coming up ' 55 set the pace by bringing in ahead of time some pep posters which they proudly displayed in the corridors and their homerooms. This was enough to get the oth¬ er classes going and by Friday the school was flooded with beautiful and inspiring pesters. The rally before the Prep game was the best ev¬ er. ' 55 dominated the rally. 4-A as the mort¬ icians was decked out in tall black hats. 4B had its various colored derbies and called themselves the Dukes.

This was the key to M.C. ' s most successful football team in many yecrrs as it went untied and undefeated through a nine game schedule composed of teams both in and outside the Catholic League. In so doing the Bluejackets gained the Catho¬ lic and State B” titles. Everyone was eager for the ' 54 season as September replaced August on the calendar. Things looked good but not rosy. Yet under the unrelenting drive of Coaches Galligan and Lentine the team started to mold rapidly into a unit with lots of potential. The official season opened with a night game against St. Mary ' s at Lynn. The Bluejackets scored twice for a 12-0 victory. The defensive play of the team was exceptional as the Line inspired by Co-captains McNeil and Lavey held St. Mary ' s to two first downs. Class A Arlington and defending Catholic League Champ Keith fell before the terrific of¬ fensive and defensive play of the Bluejackets by the scores of 20-0 and 32-7. The most re¬ membered game will probably be the 18-0 vic¬ tory over a big class A Everett team which humiliated a good M.C. team a few years. Cambridge Latin gave us the greatest score and M.C. had to roll from behind in the last guart- er to eke out a 20-13 victory. If the Everett game was one of short mem¬ ory then the Watertown game will live longer as the team beat Watertown, defending B ' ’ champs, 12-6. Rindge, Lawrence Central and the Prep went down before the powerful jug- gernaught of the Blue and the Gold as it crush¬ ed them by the scores of 35-0. 16-6, and 27-0 respectively. Thus ended a long up-hill fight to regain the Catholic League Title. In its victorious march the team also snared for the second time the more cherished and most elusive title of State ' ' B ' ' champs which it last won in 1948. JAY VEES — K. Strovink, M. Bowser, I.

Height was the answer to the problem and whatever height was avail¬ able was on the injured list. Twe real big men — A1 Hyland and Art Whalen — were only able to play in two games. Captain Joe Mulkerrin, Joe Mahoney and Ron Heerter, a trio of nifty but very small players, always put on exhibitions of basketbgll at its best while medium-sized Paul MacDonald took honors as the outside shooters with his deadly eye. The fifth man, a choice of Lind, Rosdahl, Har¬ rington or Sullivan, depended on which one physicallly able as injuries likewise plagued these fair-sized and able scorers.

As a result Coach Kenty had to go along with a sextet composed mostly of green players. Inexperienced as it was the team battled the best of the league first and never lost a game by more than one point and when it finally hit its stride it was too late. Winning five and tying one in the last six games, the Blueblades could do no better than fourth place. Johnny Turner ' s injury was the greatest of all as Johnny was a two year vet and he was lost to the team for the entire season. McAteer, a wing, on the first line was out for sev¬ eral games due to injuries and sickness. Losing two keymen from the first line in hockey is a seri¬ ous loss and should have been sufficient to cause the team to fold but this was not the case. The Blueblades never quit driving. Their one point to losses to Malden High, the new champs, Natick and Brookline are proof of that. In non¬ league competition they lost to the college frosh teams of Har¬ vard, B.C. and West Point along with N.D. of Berlin. ice fday £ ul to eoctt . , . SOMERVILLE GOALIE blocks shot at qoal by M.

The indoor team compiled a 3-2 record in the Met League. In between league events the team competed in the indoor State Meet, and the BAA meet in which it had no luck. The outdoor team was able to win one, tie one and lose four in inde¬ pendent competition. The team finished fourth in the New England States Catholic Invitation¬ al Meet and lower in the State Meet. The indoor team, reinforced with football players, was a red hot outfit as it drove to three straight victories, the sweetest of which was the Concord win. This was Concord ' s first loss in several years. Then a seige of sickness hit the team and so went the title as it lost to Mil- ten and Dedham. Coach Bill Reagan, a track enthusiast, hand¬ led all three track teams and his first year at the helm Mr. Reagan has fired the boys to a driving determination to win.

For ' 55 the baseball team ' s fourth consecu¬ tive league title was a happy ending to its stay at M. C. Coach Brother Firmin, a man of great drive himself, drove his charges to vic¬ tory in the Catholic League and to the semifin¬ als of the Eastern Mass. Tournament. M.C.

The Blue Sox were a hard team to figure. They could start off poorly and fall behind and then all of a sudden they would explode in one inning with a barrage of hits and stolen bases to regain the lead. Mostly it was clutch hitting and the taking of advantage of the opposition ' s errors along with some daring and driving base¬ running. It was not reckless — just heads-up playing.
