Looking back, it is difficult to distinguish the beginnings from the ends, and perhaps it is difficult to convince yourself that there is a difference. 2 What is that great influence, then, that breaks the silence, yet eventually causes a final silence? Maybe if you con¬ sider the quiet of the beginnings and the ends, you’ll find the answer in the everyday events of the in-between. 3 The answer is the people, for when all else is gone, the people will still be together, help¬ ing and loving one another, reliving old times, enjoying the present, and dreaming of the future. 4 ■MifiHSK The faces and voices of friends are gone now, never to return . . . AV-jv. In Memoriam Brother Jerome Burns, C.F.X. Mrs. Rose Davey 10 Well done, good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of your Lord. Dedication Here is a man who always manages to be there when we need him. Whether taking one of his famous hikes, counseling in the Guidance Office, helping out in the TV Studio, or maybe in the cafeteria just shooting the breeze about the Red Sox, he really knows his way around all kinds of people and places, and has used his talents and has given his love in working toward the realiza¬ tion of his Christian ideals. We, the Class of 1974, have had the honor of knowing this man since our freshman year, when he was our Guidance Counselor. Not only has he helped us in school-related matters, but he has been a full-time friend to each of us, and that is what really matters in the long run. So here’s to you, Brother Kevin. Having you as a friend has been, is, and will be one of those experiences which makes Malden Catholic what it is. From the Class of 1974: Thanks. Brother ■1015 --— —. ■ 4 :-KV.U Fall ;-V; ' ll ' H i 13 Football 1973 will be remembered as a roller-coaster year for the Lancer Footballers. Continual signs of promise came to light, but never materialized. In many ways, the new independent schedule worked against Coach Bill Ransom, and continually put him in a position of uncertainty. Unfamiliar teams trav¬ eled to Brother Gilbert Stadium, and the Lancers ended up with a fair 4-5-0 record. Captains Phil Puopolo and Mike Maddelini led the team on both offense and defense, and were instrumental to the growth of the young team. Tragedy struck the team early, as Tri-Captain Paul Flash” Norton was sidelined for the entire season. His dedication and spirit, however, were an inspiration to the players. The running of sophomore Bucky Halloran, the line work of juniors Frank Magliochetti and Frank Ruane, and the quarterbacking of Jack Hughes give Coach Ransom plenty to look forward to next year. 1 4 Fred Astaire, eat your heart out! Bishop Fenwick Acton-Boxborough Northeast Regional Don Bosco Xaverian St.John’s Prep t Archbishop William Saugus PopeJohn It must be said that this year was one of firsts. It saw the debut of an MC-Pope John rivalry which shows great potential. The team saw a revival of enthusiasm among the students, faculty, and alumni. Never before has MC seen a live aquatic demonstration during a game, nor nine of its students perform as cheerleaders at a pep rally. Yes, it was a very unusual football season for the people from Crys¬ tal Street, and it will certainly be remembered for its uniqueness. 17 SOt l j.v. Under the leadership of our old friend Mr. David McCarthy, the Junior Varsity Football Lancers paved the way for future varsity teams. Stars like Ricky Campo, Bob Pellegrini, Joe Coppolla, and Dave Brydie made them a respectable football unit. Junior Varsity competition is a must for the devel¬ oping athlete, both mentally and physically, and our program here ranks among the best. FRONT ROW, 1-r: P Picardi, E. Doherty, J. Kelly, J.

Led by the professor of foot¬ ball himself, Brother Lawrence Dunn, C.F.X., the Frosh, although experiencing an off year, estab¬ lished themselves as definite hopes for the years to come. Freshman play captivates many peoples’ interest because of the cross-town rivals such as Beebe and Lincoln. With the talent this team possesses, next year’s J.V.’s should have quite a successful season. 19 Cross Country The cross country runner is more than a mere partici¬ pant in some sort of team competition, but a true picture of an athlete. A lonely, unheralded figure, fighting his way through the darkness of Crystal St., the cold of Eastern Ave., and the isolation of Pine Banks. But let’s not get ridiculous, there must be some reason for doing all this . . . meeting a man like Brother Myles McManus, to become more sound both physically and mentally, and to build self-discipline. The harriers finished 3-3 in the Catholic Conference, with the likes of Captain Ed Blades, Jim Halpin, John Casey, Dan Cameron, but most of all: satisfaction. 20 CATHOUl 1 1 _ ■W lu L-R: Coach Brother Myles McManus, C.F.X., D.

Something with quite an interesting flavor to it, headed by quite an interesting person, Brother James Malone. Bringing a new sports program into any school is a big task, especially when that sport is quite foreign to many of us. To use the old cliche, Brother James was equal to the task. He had his young spartans (that sounds good) training in the summer, he had specialists come in and teach the basic points of the game, and he even went as far as obtaining a miniature soccer instructional unit” for his office. MC became partially soccer mad, even though the team finished 1-7 in a rugged independent league. The Lancers were led by co-captains Fran MacAteer and Paul Capano. Other star performers were John Hall, and goaltender David Parisi. One thing must be remem¬ bered about our soccer team, it would not have survived without all those Roccos.

Never fail rain or shine, night or day, even the certain perils that monsoons and the bubonic plague bring in, the girls always showed up, and on time. Their incessant cheers, coupled with their deep pride, were enough to urge any team on to victory. We truly owe the MC cheerleaders much gratitude for a job well done. 24 L-R: Wendy Sherman, Caren Meade, Debbi Cuneo, Eleanor Morley, Peggy Stone, Lori Sensale, Kathy Flanagan, Susan Loftus, Mary Ellen Maloney, Kathy McEleney, Mary Myers, Lorraine Policelli, Nancy Granara, Elaine Buckley. Drama The Drama Society at Malden Catholic started off their year with a very successful production of PURE AS THE DRIVEN SNOW or A WORKING GIRL’S SECRET. Starring in the melodrama were Jim Halpin as Leander Longfellow, the hero; Jim Melloni as Mortimer Frothing- ham, the villain; and Veronica Casey as Purity Dean, the poor working girl, tormented by the villain. These three were backed up with excellent performances by Richard Delaney and Janine Skerry (together again) as Mr. and Mrs. Logan, Leander’s aunt and uncle, the innkeepers; Bob Johnson as E. Z. Pickens, Leander’s good friend; and Ron Keefe as Jed Lunn, Mortimer’s not-so-faithful assistant. The show was directed by Mr. Gregory Ciardi. Highlights included Jim Melloni’s colorful disguise as a woman and Ron Keefe’s memorable two nights of crawl¬ ing around the stage. Thanks to a very funny script and excellent acting, many people had a very enjoyable night out. 26 v, if ’ V iff wz t • i 1 ' , ■■ 27 Faculty LEADER: one who follows his own thoughts but occasionally looks around to see if anyone is following him 28 29 MR.

Mechanical Drawing 49 Hockey The date: March 18, 1974, the setting: Boston Garden at 8:00 P.M., the teams: Malden Catholic and West Springfield. Such were the circumstances that earned the Lancers the state hockey crown for ’73-’74. The outcome was inevitable. The 1973-1974 hockey team will be remembered for many years as one of the most exciting and well-polished clubs in the history of MC sports. Under new Head Coach Mr. Charles Dris¬ coll and Assistant Coach Mr. Richard Cavanaugh, the Lancers proved their great power and poise by posting an impressive 19-1- 1 record. There has never been a line so great as the Fidler-Hughes- Goodwin Line, and the last two hockey seasons have proved that beyond a doubt. Behind them, the members of the Line will leave shattered records, numerous trophies from two seasons, and a promising future for both themselves and the team they will leave behind. Even though the team will lose eight seniors, Malden Catholic will return next year with this year’s entire second line, a good portion of the defensive and goaltending corps, and several other fine underclassmen. The past, the present, and the future couldn’t look brighter for hockey at MC. 52 bull LEFT TO RIGHT, SEATED: R. Cavanaugh, M. Clancy, S. Harvey, R. Goodwin, G. Hughes, M. Fidler, F. Murphy, C.

They built a very impressive record, winning twelve, los¬ ing only one, and tying two. Their only loss was to Boston Latin, in the last game of the season. Mr. David McCarthy, a 1964 graduate of MC, coached this year’s team. Coach McCarthy made the team work very hard to accomplish its great record, holding practice three mornings a week at Winchester. Coach Charlie Driscoll will have quite a field of players next year. 56 Frosh The 1973-1974 Freshman Hockey Team ended its season with a very fine record of six wins, four losses and two ties. Under the direction of their new Head Coach Mr. Robert Conceison the team showed why MC has a great future in hockey. The Captain of this year’s Frosh team was Jack Harvey who had much to do with the success of the team. The high scorer of the team was Robie Buckley with eighteen points; Captain Harvey and Joe Burton followed with sixteen points each. The main accomplishment of this year’s team was the great promise they showed. Coach Conceison molded a very fine team which will assure MC’s contention for the State Hockey Title. 57 Indoor Track This year’s Indoor Track Team, under the leadership of co-cap- tains John Casey and Jim Ross, ran its way to an impressive Co- Championship in Division II of the Tri-County Track League. Other seniors who could be counted on meet after meet were Ed Blades in the mile and 2-mile, Phil Puopolo in the shot-put, Karl Olsen in the 300, and Jim Halpin in the 1000. However, the coaches, Brother Myles McManus and Mr. Lou Ruggerio, would be the first to admit that it was a team effort, as the juniors and sophomores provided much needed points in almost every event. Two of the most outstanding meets of the season were the ones against Archbishop Williams and Don Bosco, which both came down to the final event, the relay, to decide the winner. It was John Casey’s fantastic come-from-behind performance in the anchor leg of the relay against Archbishop Williams that won it for the Lancers and secured at least a co-championship. But in the Don Bosco meet, the relay team just wasn’t there to break the tape and the Lancers finished 6 and 6 as Co-Champs. 58 Basketball Coach Paul Swett’s determination to form a good, classy, and competitive basketball team back in 1972 finally paid dividends in 1974. The hoopsters finished fourth in the Catholic Confer¬ ence, behind three tourney teams. Their final league record was 5- 7, the best MC finish since 1968. Throughout the campaign, both guard Dan Meyers and center Harry ' Sparrow raked in many lau¬ rels, achieving All-Conference Selections, and Boston Globe Honors. Supporting Oscars can be handed out to Ralph Perriello, Dane Sparrow, Steve Johnson and Pete Sartanowicz. Basketball for the past few years has always been a thorn in MC’s side. Well, the thorn was taken out, and the Lancer five can be respected for a job well done. 60 JV This is it, what you all have been waiting for, the Junior Var¬ sity Basketball Article for 1974. Well, although the season had more downs than ups, there is a distant light, there always is; you know. Seriously though, the nucleus for next year is there. Perform¬ ers like Bac Dang, Rich Walker, Paul Capano, and Dave Hoff formed the crux of the JV five. Coach Brother Lawerence Dunn guided the team through a season of learning. For every championship team there is always a learning stage. With the guidance of Brother Lawerence Dunn there is little doubt that the future is bright for the JV Basketball Team. 64 Frosh Talk about excitement, and you must include the 1974 Frosh Basketball Team. Coach Peter Weston knew this year would be a challenge and he happily accepted it. Six Foot Brian Craven was the standout (and I mean the standout) for the frosh as he intimi¬ dated players game after game. Pete Avery, Tony Demarco and Captain Leo Burke were vital sparks also. It must be said that the team worked hard and their spirit carried them through the sea¬ son. 65 Razz-Ma - Tazz The annual Joe Hayes extravaganza came to Malden Catholic in January and provided us with thirty-five fantastic days of fun. There were long rehearsals and everyone worked very hard to put on another great show. Razz-ma-tazz was a satire of the 1930’s. It brought to life such great stars as Charlie Chaplin, Humphrey Bogart and Superman. Almost six hundred performers took part, and, thanks to Joe Hayes, had a tremendous time. 66 ■ f I hope mom’s watching. 67 Crystal 99 This year, Crystal 99 explored many new avenues. Under the very fine direction of Brother Robert Green, C.F.X. and Editors-in-Chief A1 Duggan and Richard Mazzei, they have instituted many new ideas. One of the more innovative ideas has been a write-up about a different city in each issue. This article is written by a member of the newspaper staff who is a native of the particular city or town. Another new idea has been to make the papers different sizes and different colors for variety. One major objective of this year’s newspaper staff has been to get as many people as possible involved in writing articles, particularly freshmen. Crystal 99 succeeded in all these things this past year and they should be commended for a job well done. 72 Drama The Malden Catholic drama society took part in the Globe Drama festival once again this year. The group under the direction of Mr. Ciardi staged The Browning Version.” This is a one act play about life in an English private school. The stars of the production were Richard Delaney, Janine Skerry, Tom Cahill, John Mauro, and Cindy Nichols. Both Richard Delaney and Janine Skerry were awarded individual acting prizes for superb performances. All the MC actors provided many enjoyable moments for their audience. See the teacher. See Marvin. See the teacher read his lines from the table. See Marvin read his lines from the book. 74 Bowling The Malden Catholic Bowling Club, in its second year of existence, provided a great deal of enjoyment to all who took part. The group met once each week at Granada Lanes in Malden to practice and to improve their averages. Under the leadership of Brother John Bums, C.F.X., ' the club has grown to include mem¬ bers of all four classes. With a good solid number of underclass¬ men returning, it looks as though the Bowling Club has a good foundation for the future. I Art During the course of the year the Malden Catholic Art Club has presented various ways for the creative student to explore his inner feelings. Under the expert direction of Mrs. Evelyn Andeen, the club has indulged in many pro¬ jects, such as making posters for the MC dances, athletic teams, and several other activities throughout the year. The main purpose of this year’s Art Club was to allow the interested student to become aware and involved in the finer aspects of art. 77 Camera Club This year the Camera Club once again was one of the most useful activities in the school. There are about twenty students who regularly take pictures of all school activitie s and print them. Frequently they have exhibited their work on bulletin boards throughout the school. They have also supplied pic¬ tures for the yearbook, the newspaper, and the Malden Eve¬ ning News, as well as the program book for Razzmatazz. We would like to thank the Camera Club for its great help to the 1974 LANCE. L-R: J. Pasciuto, D. Foley, D. Maffeo, G. Preble, J. Brault, C. Hindy, D. Heft,J. Endicott,J. Polito, G. Dainis, R.

During the summer, much new work was done including all new circuitry and the purchase of new mobile equipment. This has enabled the studio to be more useful in the everyday life of the school. Videotapes are being used more often in the classroom and it is now possible to put on live shows in the TV Studio. The radio station has been completely done over and has been broadcasting daily for the first time in over a year and a half. Under the direction of general manager Chuck Faraci and pro¬ gram director Bob McWade, many students have become involved as disc jockeys or news broadcasters. Brother Marcellus Reeley, C.F.X., and Mr. David Sheppard are the faculty members in charge who have contributed their untir¬ ing work in getting much use out of one of the best equipped studios in the area. 80 ■W ' ■TnTBTTilTM 81 Underclass The road that lies ahead Is long But it won’t be lonely Since we have our friends to guide us on the way. . 82 CLASS NK; LEFT TO RIGHT: J.

However, the season did have its high points, including senior Co-Captain John Casey’s victory in the New England Catholic mile after going undefeated in dual meet competition, and the proven talent of the entire team. Some other impressive seniors on the team were Co-Captain Ed Blades, Jim Ross, Karl Olsen, and Jim Halpin. Taking their places will be no easy job, but the underclassmen showed that they have the talent, both in running and leadership, to really carry the team for the next few years. Especially notable are the sophomores, who did well not only in JV competition, but in varsity competition. This year’s JV team is probably the best in several years, and they showed it both during the season and in the Catholic Conference Champion¬ ship Meet, which they won. With this kind of consistency, MC just might become one of those track schools.” 95 Baseball Under the coaching of Mr. William Ransom, the 1974 Varsity Baseball team had a pretty fair season ending the year with a 6-12 record. Malden Catholic packed a lot of power at the plate with the hitting of Mike Maddelini, Ralph Perriello and Frank Ruane. The Lancers’ defense was held up by men like Wayne Garret and Jack Hughes. Yet, it was the entire team as a unit that gave MC such a memorable season. One reason for not having more wins this year is due to the fact that there were only three starting seniors. We can only hope for the best with more underclassmen getting experienced, future seasons look bright for Baseball at MC. 96 Tennis The tennis team under the direction of Brother James Maho¬ ney compiled a record of 2-8 for the season. Captain of the team, Bob Desmond, was 1 singles player with a record of 6-4. In addition to Bob, best players were Kevin O’Sullivan, Michael Leon, Brain Sullivan, Peter Vatalaro, and Ed Keefe. Frosh Ed Munsey improved much during the season and helped defeat Wakefield in the last match. Brian Leahy and Bob Bowdring, both Juniors, contributed much to the team, especially in the sec¬ ond half of the season. Ned Hanlon and Anthony Rauseo, seniors, graduated with let¬ ters in Tennis. This was also a memorable year for the team as they defeated Malden High for the first time. i ww i «■ « « 98 Assemblies As you can see, this year’s assembly schedule allowed several important people to publicize their ponderings at our podium, all for the profit of the MC student body and faculty. Speakers included Senator Stephen McGrail, Ben Jipcho, and, of course, the people up for student council elections, to mention only a few. The efforts of Brother Marcellus really paid off, as we at MC learned a little more about what’s going on around us. 100 Don’t forget to watch the Colgate-Dinah Shore Winner’s Circle. Golf Fore . . . That’s FORE. Well, now that I’ve captured your attentive minds for just a moment, let’s talk golf. Bogey, birdie, eagle, under par, the links, well, you know how it is, the game can become very confusing. But it didn’t confuse Brother White’s squad, for once again they provided us with an interest¬ ing season, posting impressive scores. Co-Captains Mike Clancy and Bill Blanchard led the Lancers, with other links stars such as Steve Daddio, Tom Graf, and Jerry Corradino, and let us not for¬ get that infamous trio of brothers, Barry, Brian, and David Bro- dette. It’s not every high school team that can boast of three brothers on the Varsity level. And of course let us not forget Mr. Lyman Doane, a golf pro at Mt. Hood, whose efforts kept the golf team alive here at MC. 101 Yearbook Hey, hurry up I need those pictures.” When is our next deadline?” Tomorrow.” But we’ve got 60 pages due!” Don’t remind me.” What are we going to do. We have baaaxes and baaaxes of yearbooks left.” These are just a few things you might hear someday if you walk past Room 203. This year, the yearbook staff is mostly inexperienced, but everyone is learning quickly. Editor-in- Chief Tom Skerry is the only one with any experience and he has done an excellent job, as has the moderator, Brother Dan¬ iel Skala, C.F.X. Other major editors include Eugene Martin, Senior Editor; Richard Mazzei and Bob Me Wade, Sports Edi¬ tors; and Donald Rowe, Activities Editor. The yearbook staff has attempted to bring innovative ideas to the 1974 LANCE. They have begun some things that hope¬ fully will be put into effect within the next couple of years. We have tried to encompass the past year in these 160 pages. We hope you enjoy the 1974 LANCE. 102 National Honor Society Brother Gilbert Chapter Class of 1974 Mr. John Carroll, Advisor Class of 1975 William Thomas Barrasso Paul Joseph Capano Richard Michael Belkner Mark Joseph Carroll Edmond William Blades Arthur Michael DeBenedictis f John Lawrence Casey James Vincent DiVirgilio Anthony Joseph DellaPiana Michael Allan Dixon Alfred Joseph Duggan Luis Enrique Domenech Charles Joseph Faraci Paul Edward Duffy Wayne Paul Garrett Paul Francis Duval John Michael Hall Robert Gerard Flater Francis McAteer John Edward Flynn Robert Stanley Me Wade Patrick Joseph Henaghan John Domenic Marotta Carl George Hindy Richard Bruce Mazzei David Charles McBride Michael Joseph O’Neill Brian John McNelis John Joseph Prior Patrick Paul Norton Thomas Joseph Skerry James Wallace Polito John Paul Rauseo MC in France The MC European trip of the 1973-74 school year con¬ sisted of a tour through Northern France and Paris. Cha¬ peroned by Brother John Doyle, the trip proved to be exciting. P. Norton, J. DiVirgilio, L. Gates, B. McNeil, M. Scenna, C. Carrigan, D. D’Angelo, L. D’Alessandro, D. Biggie, and B. Ovinlan accompanied Brother Doyle. The trip originated from Logan Airport from which the group went to New York and then on to the new Charles DeGaulle Airport in Paris. The group was accompanied on the trip by 19 girls from Ursuline Academy of Dedham. The main attractions on the trip included: seeing Luxen- bourg, which is a state in Northern France with both French and German traditions and customs; visiting the world famous Louvre, going to Versailles; seeing the extraordinary Mont-St-Michel and numerous other plan¬ ned and spontaneous events that will be remembered for¬ ever by the thirty-two MUCANS that enjoyed the thrills of Europe 1974. In tram urals What would a school be like without an intramural sports pro¬ gram? Dare not think such a horrible thought, for life goes on, and so must this article. Senior John Shag” Shamon and Brother John Doyle combined their creative talents and came up with an excellent program. The one reason for having intramurals is to provide every¬ one an opportunity to take part; and this year was no exception. The most popular sports remained basketball, volleyball, and soccer, although many others revealed themselves to be quite interesting. Even the faculty took part in the program, but theirs seemed always to be a losing effort. 106 777 Show’s over, Cheetah. 108 Where do I put my quarter?? Wow, homework in duplicate. One picture is worth a thousand words! Greetings from the pit crew.” PAY JING MIS TER SHEP PARD, MISTERSHEPPARD . . . I knew I should have brought a lunch from home. Mama told me about Ultra Bright, but. . . THE AGONY OF DEFEAT! or All I said was ' Boo’!” 09 Camelot The major drama production this year was Camelot, which was presented in late May. This marked the first time that any other school department had helped to a degree in a drama production at Malden Catholic, and Camelot would never have been possible otherwise. Besides Mr. Gregory Ciardi, the director, Mr. Michael Gar- roway was musical director, Mrs. Evelyn Andeen designed all costumes and scenery, and Mr. David Sheppard was in charge of sound and lights. The show starred Richard Delaney and Mary Higgins as the legendary Arthur and Guenevere. Other major roles were held by Jim Melloni as Lancelot, Donald Rowe as both Merlyn and Mordred, Janine Skerry as Morgan Le Fey, Bob Johnson as King Pellinore, and Betty McQuaid as Nimue. Camelot was enjoyed by large audiences and was considered a success by all. 110 m «mR| - F A. “H Unsung Heroes The purpose of this section is not to bring certain peo¬ ple out from behind the scenes at MC, because behind the scenes is obviously where they want to be. Whether it be the men and women of the Malden Catholic Associates preparing a feast, the athletic coaches giving tirelessly of their time and experience, Brother Plunket and his crew working day after day to keep the school spotless, the coach of MC’s highly successful debating team, all are very much a part of our learning and growing experience. In the hopes that recognition of these people and what they have done for us will bring us all a little closer, we salute the Unsung Heroes” of Malden Catholic. 112 Rich Mazzci (top) and Brother Plunket (above) of the work crew. The MCA. Student Council Joanne Jolly more, report to the Press Box immediately!’ Mark Stuart, report to the Christmas Tree!” First of all, there’s no point in going into a long tirade about what the Student Councillors have done this year. It is sufficient to say that they never took the attitude that they could sit down in their office and pull strings, but initiated many projects and personally worked hard at all of them. Rather, this Student Coun¬ cil was one with very interesting people, and to focus on them explains why and how they got it all together. There was a sort of unity-through-diversity in the characters of the leadership of the Council. For example, the quiet air of Mod¬ erator Brother John Doyle, C.F.X. and Veep Rich Delaney, one who always seemed to hold winning cards, mutually comple¬ mented the blitzkrieg personality of President Mark Stuart, and the resulting imagination and energy lasted all year. Next we have Paul Ryan, a young man who looks on the practical side of things, with his feet firmly on the ground, who has set lofty goals for himself, but not so much as to have his head lost in the clouds. Then there’s Joe Maggiore, the guy who never stops smil¬ ing. He will approach his next year as President in the best way; with optimism. Who could forget the Social Chairmen John Zannino and A1 Porcaro, Religious Chairman A. J. Constantino, Athletic Chair¬ man John Shag” Shamon, and Cultural Chairman Jim Halpin? From Masses and Intramurals to the Arts Symposium and dances, these men worked long hours thinking of ideas, organizing them, and carrying them out. Also meriting praise is that underground group, the Commit¬ tee of Nine,” whose members managed to get up the nerve to become cheerleaders for a day, in front of several hundred people, and who also worked on several projects. Back to Mark Stuart, Rich Delaney and Brother Doyle. They led the students through a great year of hard work, and just as importantly, they led us in the celebration after the hard work, both on a small scale and on a large scale, not to congratulate themselves but to take advantage of life. Mangia! Prom A wonderful evening was enjoyed by all at the annual Sen¬ ior-Junior Prom held in the Georgian Room of the Statler Hilton Hotel in Boston. The prom, under the planning of Social Chairman A1 Porcaro and Brother Timothy Skala, C.F.X., had as it’s theme, Foxy Lady.” The evening started off with a delicious roast beef meal and continued with everyone socializing and dancing to music of the fifties, sixties, and seventies. 120 Once again this year, Malden Catholic has been honored to have one of the best debate teams in the country. The team had a lot of experience this year, and they won many trophies. The head coach of the team is Peter Keegan and the assistants are Susan Ettinger and Don Alpertstein. The team placed high in the majority of its debates and in a debate at Rockland High School, they beat out 30 other high schools for the championship. The team has also participated in debates in Pittsburgh, Williamsburg, Va., New York City, UMass, Dartmouth, and Yale. This year, the varsity team was made up of all seniors with John Prior, James Veitch, Anthony Dellapiana, and Mason Tenaglia, who served as President. However, the future looks bright with excellent intermediate and novice teams. It looks as though Malden Catholic will have an excellent debate team for many years to come. 124 Art Symposium MC’s tenth annual Art Symposium was held May 11, 1974, and provided a day of enjoyment for all involved. As usual, the Symposium accomplished its pur¬ pose: to simply display different kinds of art to the public in a non-competitive . . spirit. Organized by a committee composed of Brother John Burns, C.F.X. and Jim Halpin from MC, and Ursula Maher and Janine Skerry from Girls’ Catholic, the Symposium included participants from several schools such as Malden High, St. Mary’s, Cathedral, Girls’ Catholic, St. Peter’s, St. John’s Prep, Cardinal Spellman, Walnut Hill School and Malden Catholic. Some of the highlights of the day included an exhibition of photography, a Coffee House, folksinging, a play and a slide show. Perhaps the best part of the Symposium was that everyone’s contrib¬ ution was appreciated, be it conventional art, pop art, or maybe helping to organ¬ ize the Symposium.

For most, though, the ceremony itself will hopefully not have meant that ties with Malden Catholic were broken. As a matter of fact, the graduation lived up to the theme of what has been going on all year for the seniors: a reali¬ zation that relations among people never really end; they just change every so often. 156 Recipients of awards at the ceremony included: Mr. Edward Geary, Plus Ultra Award for community service; Chuck Faraci, Xaverian Award; Rich Delaney, Loyalty Award; Jim Melloni and A. J. Constantino, School Spirit Awards; Tom Skerry, School Service Award; Tony DellaPiana, Valedictory Award; A1 Dug¬ gan, Salutatory Award; and a special award was presented to Mr. Andrew Wall for his service as President of the MCA. Academic Awards went to: Tony DellaPiana, Math and Science; A1 Duggan, English; Jim Veitch, Language; Rich Mazzei, Social Studies; John Marotta, Religion; Chuck Faraci, Communications. Biographer Awards went to Ed Blades, John Marotta, John Prior, and Bill Barrasso. 157 At 8 o’clock on Sunday night, In summer when it’s raining hot, And colors blur to black and white, And memories elude the thought Of times and friends since disappeared, Confront the truth, there’s no reprieve From facing what you think you’ve feared: That all that’s left to do is grieve.
