We in this country and in this generation Are by destiny rather than choice The watchmen on the % walls of freedom. The statesman poet said it years ago, but you and I said it too. Do what you want. Do what you should. Not either. Both. And pay attention. The speaker poet said it days ago, but you and I said it too. Poets may inspire us, statesmen may lead us, speakers may remind us, but we must think and do. It’s what you and 1 think and say and do that counts. During these four years we have informed our intellects, tried our wills, stretched our imagina¬ tions, tested our intuitions. And now in these years ahead you and I must be ready to feel strongly and- to think clearly — and to know the difference between the two. May the Lord watch over us as we rove the coast up and down. And may He bless you, always, in all ways. Dedication The class of 1970 wishes to recognize the invalu¬ able services of Brother Plunket Doherty C.F.X. to Malden Catholic and to her student bodv by dedicating to him this year’s editor of The Lance. Brother Plunket, in addition to being one of the most learned members of the faculty, played a decisive role in the design of the new building. Possessing the valuable ability to find time for all necessary activi¬ ties, Brother Plunket also manages to teach several classes a day. As a teacher, Brother Plunket treats all his students with the respect to which they are en¬ titled and it is perhaps for this reason that he is so highly regarded among the students and faculty. To faithfully carry out all one’s functions without look¬ ing for praise is the sign of true commitment thus it can be said that Brother Plunket is truly dedicated to the well-being of Malden Catholic. For these reasons the senior class enthusiastically dedicates The Lance to Brother Plunket. 4 m . i 5 - iV - ! ' 5 ‘? 5 F acuity 6 BROTHER ANTHONY C.F.X. Latin MR.

T Football It was a frustrating season for the young Lancer football team and their coaching staff, but it was marked by some good performances which promise a brighter future. The Archbishop Williams game was a prime example of this. Proving to be the best game of the year, the determined Lancers held the potent Williams offense to 14 points. The team can be proud of its spirit and perseverance. Although courageously led through a trying sea¬ son by senior co-captains Bill Gay and All Catholic Frank Sparrow and with able assistance from other veterans, the team suffered from inexperience, being mostly comprised of underclassmen. Next year’s team will surely reflect the hard work of the 1969 season.

The 1969-70 season was a vear of rebuilding for Coach John Malvev’s Lancer basketball team. The squad s underclassmen, plaving behind only four re¬ turning seniors, were given the opportunity of partic¬ ipating in the tough varsitv competition. Returning seniots were Co-Captains Dennis McHugh and Bob Willwerth, Joe Learv and Bill Moccia. McHugh, who was consistently in the dou¬ ble figures in scoring, and who had several twenty point games, did an admirable job of leading the team after Bob Willwerth’s untimely knee injury which kept him out of action for most of the season. Moccia and Learv saw onlv limited action due to Coach Malvev’s rebuilding program. Returning in ’70-’71 will be four juniors, and seven sophomores, all of whom have seen action against teams like powerhouse Catholic Memorial and Archbishop Williams. With this tvpe of experi¬ ence under their belts, and the help received from this year’s seniors, the M.C. basketball team has the makings of a winner. The problem with a rebuilding sea¬ son is that the results take some time to be noticed, and although this year’s team might be considered less than suc¬ cessful in terms of their record, the work that went into the 1969-70 season will show in the teams of ’71, ’72 and beyond.

According to coach Johnson and the Press, this was intended to be a rebuilding year, there being only five seniors on the club. The players, however, had different ideas, and led by All-Scholastic Cap¬ tain Joe Fidler, they powered their way to the finals of the Eastern Massachusetts Hockey Tournament. Entering the tournament after a successful fifteen and three season (capped off by the Peabody game in which Fidler established six new league records), the team not only made the finals but they did it in outstanding fashion by winning four overtime games. All of the players seemed to come alive under pressure. In the tournament, first line members Fidler, Maclsaac and O’Neil each came up with game-winning goals in over¬ time periods. This line combined with a tight defense and Kirk McBride’s superior goaltending to provide a highly successful winning formula. The team’s achievements brought many thrills and excitement not only to M.C. but to hockey fans all over the state. Even after these accomplishments, the team has no League Title, no Catholic Tournament Championship, and no Eastern Mass. Title, but they have many memories of an unforgettable year. 58 Another one for M.C. 62 Front Row (l. to r.): Kirk McBride, Neil Maclsaac, Captain Joe Fidler, Brenden Breen, Kevin O’Connor.

The 5-1 victory over Cardinal Spellman is indicative of the progress made by the team. All-Catholic Steve Whittier pitched a four hit¬ ter and the all-sophomore infield played an errorless game. Timely hitting and heads-up play in the field characterized this game and indicated the ability of the young but improving Lancers. The other victory of the season came in the form of a hard-fought, 8-7, extra-inning win over Keith Academy. Freshman Jim Halloran went the route on the mound and sen¬ ior Dennis McHugh drove in the winning run. Even some of the losses, however, indicated a team strength which was not reflected in the scores. In a ten-inning, 3-2 defeat at the hands of Lawrence Central, Halloran again put forth a strong pitching performance. The final loss of the season, a 6-3 thrill¬ er versus league champ Catholic Memorial, saw the Lancers stake Memorial to a four run lead but then close the gap to 4-3 in the last inning thanks to the fine relief pitching of Bob DiFonzo. These examples were the crowning points of what seemed to be a rather inconsistent season, but they well exhibited the progress of Coach Bill Ransom’s team which will undoubtedly continue next season. 64 V - « % if 66 67 THE 1970 LANCER BASEBALL TEAM: Top: (left to right) George Nelson, Jim Halloran, Bob Quinn, John Leone, Steve Sebeika, Steve Whit¬ tier, Bob Di Fonzo, Tony Lupi and Coach Bill Ransom.

Ricciardone’s best performance was his first place finish in the Class D State Meet. Mike came from ten yards behind with a lap to go and won by fifteen yards. Ricciardone was also Class D State Champ in the 880 yard run during the outdoor season. He set a rec¬ ord in the New England Catholic Meet by running a 1:57.8 in the 880. Co-captain Bob Sullivan and Bill Flanagan finished second and third in this meet and Dave Crowley placed fourth in the high jump using the unorthodox Fosbury Flop. Due to the lack of depth in the field events the team was defeated in each of their dual meets but all losses were by close scores. Co-captains Bob Sullivan and John Rader, as well as the rest of the team, will be returning next year. Prospects for next year are bright and Coach Bill Lauffer expects strong finishes from both the indoor and outdoor teams, and with the added experience of the indoor team in particular, they should be strong contenders for the league championship. Strong finishes by Bob Sullivan, Kevin McGonagle and Tom Lawlor. 1 72 I m 73 x m TH E 1970 LANCER GOLF TEAM: Top Row: (l. to r.) Gerry Russo, Bob McCarthy, Mike Stroman, Bill Schmidt, Ed Mahan, Ed McNaught. Bot¬ tom Row: Joe Marullo, Joe Leary, Mike Ferguson, Leo Greene, John Spatola, Sean Herlihy. Led by seniors Joe Leary and captain Mike Fergu¬ son, the Lancer golf team displayed their talents on the fairways and greens of Mount Hood and other area courses. High point of the season had to be the 5-4 home course victory over league champion Keith Academy. With the fine play by M.V.P. Leo Greene, low handicap player John Spatola and several other talented underclassmen Coach Johnson’s club was able to compile a 2-5 record. The First two losses, however, were absorbed in torrential downpour, and although the Lancers were good golfers, their swim¬ ming just wasn’t up to par.

Their efforts are duly appreciated and their loyalty is self- evident. No organization is capable of inspiring more school pride and spirit than dedicated cheerleaders, and those of Malden Catholic have proven their dedication many times. Below: (l. to r.)

The Cultural Department presented The Arts Sympo¬ sium. 82 Student Council The Student Council has the responsibility of rep¬ resenting the student body. It also, however can be an asset to the students by initiating worthwhile proj¬ ects. This year’s council, led by President Paul Har¬ rington, has done this, as can be seen in the activities they have implemented. With the help of moderator Brother John Conlon the council sponsored a film festival, folk Masses, intramurals, dances, the Art Symposium and a Thanksgiving project for Roxbury youths. This has been the first year for many of these activities, and MC will certainly benefit if future councils follow their example in making such valu¬ able contributions. 83 J.V. In its second year of existence, WMCH-TV has brought better and more extensive coverage of the events which affect our school. Beginning as long ago as last summer, the dedicated staff video-taped the Apollo 11 moon mission in order to add a valu¬ able historic source to the school’s library. Through¬ out the year, the television studio broadcasted spe¬ cial events ranging from educational programs to school election returns, as well as the daily bulletin with Brother Paul Cullen. The co-ordinator of this organization, Brother Marcellus, has made tremendous strides within the first two years and like good wine, his crew will im¬ prove with age. 84 A new facet in Malden Catholic’s strive for newer and better communication is MACARS, the Malden Catholic Amateur Radio Society. It has attracted great response from the students both as workers and listeners. The new radio sta¬ tion, channel 6, provides continuous music and witticisms throughout lunch periods and after school for students’ enjoyment. In addition, the radio staff advertises free messages delivered anywhere in the United States. Originally an off¬ shoot of WMCH-TV, Brother Marcellus has pro¬ duced an experienced group of polished DJ’s in¬ cluding four ham radio operators. Radio Crack cameraman and part-time Christmas tree Marty Ferrick, on assignment. 86 Camera Club Since their retreat to the dark room in September, the Camera Club has not been seen. But thev have been working hard, and this can be seen in their illustrations. Thev are responsible for the fine pictures which bring the Lance 70 to life. All can appreci¬ ate the excellent work done bv Polaroid Paul Bellaqua, moderator Mr. Joseph Britt, and their staff. i Debate For the first time in many years M.C. has been represented by a debating team. Mr. Tom Good¬ man’s inexperienced but strong group made a good showing while debating the topic of Congressional prohibition of military intervention in foreign af¬ fairs. While promoting analytic thought through clear and concise argumentation, the debating team helped to build a great personal skill in its members as well as a competitive group in whom Malden Cath¬ olic can place great pride. Under President Kenneth McDonald, the young team worked hard through its short season and is maintaining a confident outlook toward the future. Crystal XCIX This year’s newspaper, directed by Brother John Conlon and edited by Pat Leary, gave MC students the unique oppor¬ tunity to put their views on anything into print. Any student who wished to publish opinions in the MC Weekly (an offshoot of the parent paper) was given immediate re¬ porter status and a free hand in his writing. Students who took advantage of this oppor¬ tunity on a regular basis included Jim Rich, Bob Toomey, Joe Raponi, Paul Tierney, and Tom Connoly. Although the Crystal XCIX appeared sporadically this year, this freedom of the press leads to great expectations for a well- established and intriguing newspaper. 89 The Lance As seen in the great literary and pictorial masterpiece which you are now avidly pe¬ rusing, the diligent yearbook staff did a crack job in preparing the Lance ’70. Thanks to editor-in-chief John Haley, mod¬ erator Mr. William Kita and their highly competent staff. The Lance has been able to reflect not only the hurly-burly of extra¬ curricular activities, but also the assiduous students engaged in the pursuit of academic excellence. 90 Amphictyony Thespianism ran rampant under the direction of Brother Ronald Santoro as the members of the newly named Amphictyony involved them¬ selves presenting the unreal as reality. Developing their dramatic skills through practice in improvisation, the M.C. players, with the help of girls from Girls Catholic, began the season by presenting a night of drama with pro¬ ductions of The Apple Tree,” ”The Still Alarm,” an original protest play by Bill Ronca and a series of improvisations. The applause had barely died down, when plans were formulated for the staging of an adap¬ tion of J. R. R. Tolkien’s fantasy ”The Hobbit.” Playing the title role was Mike Shields, whose portrayal of Bilbo Baggins left the crowds shout¬ ing Bravo.” Few realize the long hours of practice that are necessary in order to produce a first-class play like The Hobbit.” But all those who attended their performances presented by Amphictyony can attest to the quality of each production. 92 It’s The Most In early January Mr. Joseph Hayes returned to Malden Catholic, once again proving his abil¬ ity for organizing high school students into a musical cast. In a period covering just four short weeks the incomparable Mr. Hayes was respon¬ sible for turning more than 600 high school stu¬ dents into polished thespians. (Needless to say, a good time was had by all.) Said one observer, It is incredible to see what soaring heights of histri¬ onic expertise are attained by these ersatz enter¬ tainers. These students, representing six high schools took part in a musical spectacular that played to standing room crowds for five consec¬ utive nights, making ITM one of the most excit¬ ing and successful events of the year. 94 Opposite page, top: Joseph Raponi, master of ceremonies, and captain of the ship lead the audience on a trip around the world.

Arts Symposium The 1970 Arts Symposium, held on April 18, was the largest and most successful that Malden Catholic and Girls’ Catholic have ever arranged. The Sympo¬ sium Committee, headed by Gary Jordan and Irene Burns, with the assistance of Bob Hynes and Pat O’Conner, welcomed eleven other High Schools from the New England area to Malden for this event. Exhibits of art were presented by A shland Senior High and North Cambridge Catholic. Presentations of photographic works were shown by Don Bosco Technical High School. Dorchester High was repre¬ sented by its ballet group. One act plays were staged by Gloucester High, Malden High, St. John’s Prep and Xaverian High. Minnechaug Regional and St. Thomas Aquinas High each had choral presenta¬ tions. Folk singers from St. Claire High also took part in the Symposium. Mention should be made in particular of the fine artistic, musical, and cinematic contributions of M.C. and Girls’ Catholic. Not to be forgotten is the Jazz Concert, held on the evening of the 17th, which opened the Symposium. The Erling Kroner Quintet, from the Berklee Col¬ lege of Music in Boston, was thoroughly enjoyed by the audience of two hundred. 100 101 Prom The Chateau de Ville was the sight selected for the 1970 Junior-Senior Prom. The diligent work and long hours spent by Chairman Mike Ferguson and Advisor, Bro. John Conlon showed in the spectacular finished product. For a Prom that almost didn’t hap¬ pen, it was quite the happening. Junior-Senior 104 Senior Class Officers and their dates Commencement To faculty and parents, May 31 was the official day of graduation for 58 Malden Catholic seniors, an event which marked the end of their High School days. But to the graduates, it was a day of commence¬ ment, and this was the topic of discussion for the guest speaker, Brother Robert Sullivan, C.F.X. He suggested that the graduates do what they want to do — to us this will stem from the freedom and also the responsibilities that we took on beginning that day. Do what you ought to do.” This is the role played by our education, something that only started in High School. The final point of his message was that we pay attention — to be aware of the events which take place around us and to react to them with the knowledge gained from our education. As expressed by Valedictorian Gary Jordan, there is indeed ”More Beyond.” 108 Opposite page, top: Brother Robert Sullivan, C.F.X. ad¬ dresses the graduates. Bottom: The entrance procession.
