Text from Pages 1 - 128 of the 1939 volume:

Foreword The hour has struck. The curtain is drawn. The four-year drama in which each one of us played a vital part has come to an end. Every advantage afforded by a Catholic High School education is ours. We are now ready to build for time and eternity, as we go forth to serve. To render to our parents and friends an account of our scholastic records, and of the activities of four happy years at Mount Saint Joseph Academy, to be a worthy reminder—a loving memory of the Class of '39 is the purpose of this first Academy annual. We present to you the realization of the sweetest hope of our senior year, made possible through the patient guidance of our Adviser, Sister M. Jerome, THE 1939 MOUNT!

ST. JOSEPH ACADEMY t OLD ACADEMY BUILDING HIS EXCELLENCY, THE MOST REVEREND MATTHEW F. BRADY, D.D. Bishop of Burlington This ■hrwil' trtiv ilittiliiatl iv ivi i 11 tunrv frnnt Iffullnmt HictuvimI nw thtr f?nll titri h'rm I ihrttrv Tribute to our Beloved Bishop In the appointment of His Excellency, the Most Reverend Matthew F. Brady, D.D. as Bishop of Burlington, the Holy Spirit has provided a worthy successor to the late Most Reverend Bishop Joseph J. Rice. By clergy and laity he has been welcomed with acclaim and in his brief personal contact with the diocese, he has already evoked a manifestation of enthusiasm and loyal devotion of unquestionable sincerity. Bishop Brady has brought to his high office ideals, eloquence, and sympathy —gifts of nature which have long marked him among his fellow priests as one destined to do great things for God. His training, his experience, and his deep insight into the problems of these disturbed times give proof that he is able to diagnose the evils that beset the Catholic Church today, and to combat them with vigor and courage, as well as with tender charity. We, his children, are proud of the honor of his presence at our graduation exercises, and we pray that His Excellency's episcopate may be long and fruitful. MOTHER M. ST. CHARLES to 'whose memory we lovingly and respectfully dedicate the first Academy Yearbook The 1939 Mount Our Tribute of Gratitude To us who had become so accustomed to the gentle presence of our recording principal, Mother St. Charles, that we could scarcely imagine Mt. St. Joseph without her, the news of her sudden death on January 24, was almost unbelievable. Deep was our grief at the realization that Mother did not live to see the completion of our first yearbook, in the compiling of which she was deeply interested. Yet, how consoling is the assurance that her interest in us, now that she has received her eternal reward, will continually increase, and that we have gained a powerful intercessor in Heaven. In recognition of her deeply religious spirit, her kindly vigil- ance during our years at the Academy, and with a deep sense of gratitude, we dedicate “The 1939 Mount” to our beloved friend and adviser, Mother St. Charles. Appreciation During our eight years of grammar school training we came in close contact with the priests of our various parishes in whom we have always found a tender solicitude for our spiritual and scholastic welfare. With the same keen interest they have fol- lowed us through our four years of high school at the Academy, watching over us with true pastoral zeal. We take this opportunity to express to them our sincerest appreciation of all that they have done for us. THE VERY REVEREND JOHN M. BROWN, V. F. REVEREND L.

CONNOR Tribute to our Chaplain At the beginning of our sophomore year, we became acquainted with Father Connor, our School Chaplain, through his contact with our Religion classes. In a very short time we began to feel quite at home with Father. He has shown vital interest in our spiritual welfare, our scholastic standing, and in all our extra- curricular activities. Because of his gentle, priestly manner, his friendly attitude, and his sincere solicitude for our happiness and success, Father Connor has won a fond and permanent place in the heart of each one of us. ____J f. . n. aI 1APEL Faculty Mother M.

GIRL’S ALCOVE DINING HALL FACULTY To our Principal and Faculty Before we begin to enumerate and to reflect on tilings in general, and on ourselves in particular, as recorded in “The Mount,” we offer our expression of appreciation. To our maturing minds the realization is borne that much that we now possess and enjoy is ours because of the self-sacrifice and gen- erosity of others. We extend heartfelt thanks to our Principal Mother M. Josephine, and to every member of the faculty for their special interest in each one of us. We pray God to bless and prosper them and our Alma Mater. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING! Thanks, thanks to you for everything, Our Teachers, Guides, and Friends, For all the help you’ve given us, To attain noble, worthy ends. Nothing of good was lacking to us, While we were in your care; May heaven bless you, each and all, Is our fervent, loving prayer!

SENIORS OUR VOYAGE Out from the harbor into the deep, Their varied fortunes in life to reap, On their maiden voyage over the sea, Sail the '39ers, light-hearted and free. In each small bark a classmate stands, Looking out across the strand, Resolved that in storm, or skies of blue, To his Pilot, “Virtue,” he’ll be true. Ah! some may stray from the regular course, And will find themselves near sands, While others may sail to golden isles, To visit beautiful lands. But soon they’ll be gathered from far and wide, In the fleet, which the Master guides, And all will remember, and fondly look back To the “Mount,” which sheltered their lives. Lois Morgan r Mary Quinn Valedictory Tonight, we, the class of 1929, have come together for perhaps the last time, on the occasion of our graduation from Mount Saint Joseph Academy. Graduation from high school is by no means a unique achievement but all of us feel that this commencement is of prime importance in our lives. For truly, these exercises mark more than the completion of our high school course. To us and to you, our parents and teachers, they arc a symbol of the beginning of another life, a new and different life. Until now, our conduct and actions at home and in the classroom have been under your watchful and loving guidance. For those of us who will complete our education in a college or uni- versity this care will continue, but the greater part of us are now obliged to earn our own means of livelihood. We, who are on the threshold of the new life, must give immediate proof of our appreciation of the ideals you have instilled in us, and that the time and efforts spent on the development and training of our youthful characters have not been in vain. We speak of the value we set upon the training you have given us, and in words, we attempt to express our gratitude. It is, however, our future lives, lives of true Christian men and women, lives of those educated to know, love, and serve God. that will be our monument to you, parents and teachers, who have made possible our graduation. w Salutatory As representative of the class of 1939 of Mount Saint Joseph Academy it is my unique privilege, parents and friends, to welcome you this evening to our Commencement Exercises. You have played an important role in all that concerned us during our high school days and therefore we are proud to have you with us tonight to share the glory of our triumph. Indeed it is you who have made tonight possible by your generosity and sacrifices. To you, dear parents and benefactors, as well as to our principal and faculty we express our sincere gratitude for the advantages you provided for us during our years at the Academy in order that as we go through life we may be true to God, to Country, and to our fellowmen.

President’s Address As the happy days of our high school course at Mount St. Joseph are now drawing to a close, we feel a tinge of sadness at the thought of leaving our dear Alma Mater. Although we have looked forward to graduation as a climax to our four years of study and recreation, now that this climax is reached we begin to realize that we must part with teachers, classmates, and associations that we have held sacred and dear. We are now to launch out into the changing and stormy waves of the sea of life. In September many of the class of ’39 will continue their education in various colleges, others will be engaged in some employment already arranged or pro- vided for by those interested in their welfare. A large group of the graduating class may perhaps have no definite plans in view. Such is always the situation at graduation. However, there is a happy side to our outlook on life. We have much to encourage us as we go forth to take our places among our fellowmen. Principles of true manhood and womanhood have been instilled into our youthful minds and hearts during our years at the Academy. We feel sure that these principles will lead us to success in our various undertakings. We are grateful to our teachers for all that they have done for us in order that we may have the good things of life in abundance. As time goes on we will prove our gratitude by leading noble, generous lives of service.

OUR CLASS CLASS OFFICERS President—I .oh ha ink Lay den Vice-President— Walter Mazon Secretary—Josephine Sangka Treasurer—Robert Reardon This yearbook teas digitized by volunteers from the Rutland Historical Society and the Rutland Free Library Angela Marie Albano Commercial “Angit” Sodality 1, 2, 4; Mission Unit; Business Manager Clarion 4; Mount Board; Glee Club 4; Class Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Athletic Association 1,2, 3, 4. Good-natured, big-hearted, full of fun, full of nip and laughter—that’s Angie. Ever willing and eager to help those who need her, she has found a spot in everyone's heart. And has she missed a game?—I’ll say not! Our ‘‘bestest” to the Clarion manager. Robert Warren Arthur “Streaky” Academic Mission Unit; St. John Berchman’s Society 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 4; Mount Board; Class Night Usher 3; Commencement Usher 3; Concert Usher 3, 4; Minstrel 1; Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Basketball 1, 2, 4. Streaky sure has a good time for himself. If he isn’t being kidded for one thing, another is sure to turn up. In his spare moments, Bobby plays nurse- maid to Old Glory, and has proved himself a stout fellow by the performance of said duty, morning and afternoon, fair weather and foul. In reality, Bob is quiet, but like the rest of us, not adverse to enjoying himself. Best of luck, Bob! Richard Michael Barron “Baby Academic Glee Club 4; Mission Unit; Mount Board; Clarion 4; Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; John Berchman’s Society 1, 2, 3, 4. When “Baby” rolls his eyes, even the most dignified senior goes into a spasm of laughter. Gifted with a delightful sense of humor, he keeps those around him entertained, and is never, never boring. “Baby’s” become famous for his ink-spilling exploits, his wisecracks, and his love of French. Arthur Joseph Beauregard “Bashful” Commercial Mission Unit 3, 4; Athletic Association 3, 4; Glee Club 4. So quiet that you scarcely know he’s in class is this studious, bashful boy. Arthur comes from Danby and has been with us only two years. His reserved and serious nature have kept us from knowing him as well as we should like to, but we’re sure that he will attain whatever goal he sets for himself and we wish him loads of luck. Marjorie Mary Bbtterlky “Margie” Academic Mission Unit; Sodality 1, 2, 4; Class Basketball 2, 3, 4; Athletic Association 1,2,3, 4; Clarion 4; Glee Club 1,2,3,4. Marjorie, who hails from the suburbs of Brattleboro, has kept much to herself these four years, but those who have become her friends swear by her. Talented and original, she has the ability to write short-stories that will, some day, we hope, make her famous.

Dear, kind Jo—a true friend and a real pal! Her facile pen turns out humor- ous short stories that interest and entertain us, and her rendition of violin compositions charm all who listen. We feel sure that her perseverance and cheerfulness will carry her to the top of the ladder of success.

One usually hears Joe before one sees him, for this lad is the noisiest, the most talkative and certainly one of the best-liked pupils in the Academy. Joe is best describet! as the life of the party.” His loquaciousness ought to make him a successful press-agent, or perhaps an eloquent orator. Ailenk Marjorie Bradford “Brad” Commercial Glee Club 3, 4; Athletic Association 3, 4. Two years ago, this sunny-haired, sunny-tempered girl entered the Academy and almost immediately found her place in our midst. Ailene is one of Danby’s gifts to the Academy, and a most welcome one, too. Her gentle disposition and her clever artist’s fingers have found her many friends at M. S. J. Keep smiling, Braddy! Ruth Hastings Bruten “Ruthie” Commercial Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Sodality 1, 2, 4; Mission Unit; Class Basketball 1, 2, 3; Dramatics 2; Athletic Association 1, 2. A quiet, refined girl who gives her best to everything she does. Our golden- haired Ruthie is studious and cheerful, with an cver-ready smile and a kind word. But don't let the quiet manner fool you. Ruthie is one of our best sports, full of fun and school-spirit. We’re with you, Ruth! Janet Frances Burke “Burkie” Commercial Mission Unit; Sodality 1, 2, 4; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Class Basketball 2, 3; Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4. Our star historian! Did you ever see Janet in class with an unprepared history assignment? Not on your life! Cheerful and happy, always ready to sympathize with everyone is “Burkie.” No one has ever heard Janet say an unkind word. The best of all good things to you, Janet! was digitized by volunteers from the Rutland Historical Society and the Rutland Free Library.

Mary’s line of chatter and the information she imparts by it has earned for her the name “Xcwsie.” In spite of her “taxability,” or perhaps because of it, Man ’� friends in the Academv are countless. Her business ability has proved her a valuable asset to the “Clarion” and “The Mount.” Martin John Cannon Caveman” College Preparatory Glee Club 4; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Mission Unit; Clarion 4; Mount Board; Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4; Varsity Football 2, 3, 4; Class Basketball 1, 2; Boys’ Citv 4; Green Mountain Boys’ State 3; St. John Berch- man's Society 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Night. Caveman is strong as an ox and just as tough, as well as being one of the best football players the Academv ever had. One of Marty’s middle names is “Fun,” but there’s more behind his Irish grin than meets the eye. His use of his brains as they were meant to be used has been a great consolation to his teachers. Counurtxxis, (he’s a Latin IV student) efficient, entertaining— Marty’s one swell fellow! Bridget Barbara Cantone “Riddie” Commercial Mission Unit; Sodality 1,2,4; Glee Club 1,2, 3, 4; Class Basketball I, 2, 3, 4; Dramatics 2; Athletic Association 1, 2, 3. One side, please! Make way for “Her Royal Highness” —But no! it’s only Bridget! She’s a regular girl and a real pal, mischievous, gay and merry. May your dancing feet bring you to a happy prosperous future, Biddic! Maurice Richard Carbonneau “Red Commercial Glee Club 4; Mission Unit; Class Basketball 1, 2, 3; Class Night Usher 3; Commencement Usher3; Concert Usher3; Dramatics 1,2; Athletic Association 1, 2, 3. “Red” has been quite bright in his years at the Academy. Seldom on time and frequently sleepy, Maury occasionally wakes up to utter a remark that brings the house down. Capable at driving, and always obliging to bring this one and that one to their destinations, Red spends mast of liis waking hours playing the part of a taxi-driver. His big ambition is to have a chauffeur! Lloyd James Clark “Clitk General Mission Unit; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Mount Board; Minstrel 1, 2; Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4; Varsity Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Varsity Basketball 3; Class Basketball 1, 2, 4; School Bazaar 3. Many a time “Click” Clark has shown that he’s one fine football player hy gaining the points needed in important gumes to bring M. S. J. to victory. In 1038, Lloyd was elected Captain of the All State football team, and of the Marble Valley league All Stars. C’lick5s modest and unassuming, quiet and likeable. This yearbook was digitized by volunteers from, the Rutland Historical Society and the Rutland Free Helen Mary Cline Clink” Commercial Glee Club 1, 2, 4; Hand 1; Sodality 1,2, 4; Mission Unit; Class Basketball 1, 2; Clarion 4. Helen’s our class “jumping-jack ; it’s impossible for her to sit still for two minutes. She is famous for her sense of humor, and her ability to take a joke as well as give one. And can she keep a straight face while she’s brewing mischief! We’re one hundred per cent lor “Clink! F Dominic Francis Cotrupi Migo” Commercial Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Mission Unit; Class Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Night Usher 3; Commencement Usher 3; Dramatics 1, 2, 4; Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4; Mount Board. “Migo” the sheik! But we’ll forget the glamor and say that he's a true pal, always ready to oblige. Migo has quite a line, and is some hand at manu- facturing perfect alibis, which, we hope, will be as helpful to him in later life as they have been in school. Anne Marie Cree “Chippy College Preparatory Mission Unit; Sodality 1, 2, 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3. 4; Band 3, 4; Clarion 4; Mount Board; Debate Club 4; Dramatics 1,4; Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4; School Bazaar 3; Class Night. Anne came from New Jersey to join our class during our freshman year, and it was only a short time before we began to look upon her as one of us. Tall, dark and good-looking, Anne has loads of that quality called charm. We’re sure that Nonnie will be as popular and successful at New Rochelle, her chosen college, as she is here. Frederick Anthony Cyrs Fred” Commercial Glee Club 4; Mission Unit; Class Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4. We take great pride in presenting our mischievous midget—Fred Cyn«.

I Eileen Frances Daley Aillie Commercial Mission Unit; Sodality 1, 2, 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Band 1,2, 3, 4; Orches- tra 1, 2, 3, 4.

Dutiful, full of school spirit, smiling and cheery is this pink-checked miss. May you reach your destined goal, Eileen. Erik Marie DblBianco “Errie Commercial Glee Club 3, 4; Sodality 1,2, 4; Mission Unit; Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4; School Bazaar 3. “Errie is one of Center Rutland’s gifts to Mt. St. Joseph.

Since Bud, a very fine gentleman, indeed, joined our jolly little group in our sophomore year, he has been a credit to us. In Glee Club, Bud has done himself proud by his fine bass voice. His fine features, winning smile and personality have combined to make him one of the best liked fellows in the class. Mary Jane Flanagan Hutch Academic Sodality 1, 2, 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Band 1, 2, 3; Mission Unit; Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Basket bull 1, 2, 3, 4. A true supporter of M. S. J. is this miss, who has l ccn a staunch follower of the Academy athletic teams. On the basketball court, Mary is u star guard. Her friendliness and good nature make her a welcome addition to any group. Her chosen aspiration, nursing, is a noble one ami we wish her the best of luck.

When there’s commotion in history class, or in any other class, Philly's bound to be in the midst of it. Her husky laugh gives her away every time. In spite of her love for fun-making, Philly gets her work done, and is known as busy, steady and dependable.

Whether engaged in extra-curricular activities, or in the pursuit of scholastic honors, Pat has been one of the class leaders. Ever ready to assist in any new enterprise, she is a valuable asset to any class. Good-looking, too, and equipped with personality—plus is Pat, in regard to whose success in later life we entertain no fears.

Eddy, the boy who beata the bass drum in our band, hails from the hills of Center Rutland. Very energetic, his chief ambition is to be a prosperous farmer.

Anthony John Juba “Tony Commercial Glee Club 4; Mission Unit; Class Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4. Tony’s quiet—sometimes.

May you succeed in whatever field you enter Tony!

Marion has a great taste for music, as the above shows. Her talent will be missed in Glee Club, Band and Orchestra. Marion is thoughtful, understand- ing, and a “true blue” friend, in every sense of the word. Marion’s con- scientious ways will give her a flying start on the road of life. Lorraine Mary Lay den “Lorry” Academic Mission Unit; Sodality J, 2, 4; Glee Club 3, 4; Class Basketball 2, 3; Class President 4; Dramatics 4; Class Night.

Jimmy's our basketball captain, and a good one, too. On the court he’s fire, but in ordinary life, lie’s quiet, bashful, shy. And basketball isn’t all he stars in! Ask any M. S. .1. football fan about his fine playing! If you want a good pal get acquainted with Jimmy.

Alas, girls, Marty's his sole inspiration!

Potsy is surely no remedy for frayed nerves. He is known as a genuine cut up. He’s full of fun, and enjoys a good time, while making everyone panic-stricken with his antics.

Four years ago we entered, as timid, self- conscious freshmen, the grand portals of Mount Saint Joseph Academy. Those early days now seem buried in the far distant realms of the past. Tonight you behold us as young men and women who are about to be graduated. We arc proud of what we have accomplished, and to show reasons for our pride, I shall try to give you an account of our last year at the Academy. Upon reaching our senior year things began to happen. In September, soon after the school year had started, we elected class officers: Lorraine Layden, president, and Walter Mazon, vice-president. The positions of secretary and treasurer were assigned to, and ably filled by Josephine Sangra and Robert Rear- don, respectively. About the middle of September we published the first issue of “The Clarion, our school paper. The following week we voted to have a yearbook and the publishing of the first Academy “Mount is indeed a bright feather in our cap, and one of the reasons why we feel that we are such an unusual group. We learned that the publication of a school paper and a yearbook, while a pleasant task, was not an easy one, but with Robert Reardon as Editor-in- Chief of the “Mount and Mary Quinn Editor-in-Chief of the “Clarion, we came off with flying colors, and brought the latter through as a prize winner in the Columbia National contest of school papers. In October we were again to prove our importance by holding a freshman reception in the school gym at which we presented a one-act play entitled, “The Delaney Coat of Arms,” with such noted performers as Anne Cree, Lorraine Layden, Joseph Bove and Joseph Loyzelle taking part. In this month, also, we made our School Retreat given by Reverend Father Richard Rooney, S.J. The annual retreat is an event that no student thinks of missing, and is one of the most profitable features of the school year. We regret that we have made our last one at the Academy. In November the senior class was host at a Bingo Party given for the benefit of school activities. Our Debating Club presented its first debate early in Decem- ber. The national debate question, “Resolved: that the United States should form an alliance with Great Britain, was argued on this occasion. The negative side of the question, supported by Patricia Howley and Robert Reardon, tri- umphed over the affirmative upheld by Anne Cree and Joseph Loyzelle. Later in the season the negative won a decision on the same question over the local affirmative team at Middlebury High School, and in February took part in a non-decision debate at Fair Haven High School. Next on our program of events was a one-act play entitled, “Headline Hunters” which was given at assembly. Joseph Bove portrayed the perplexed editor, who is in constant confusion because of his staff composed of Dorothy Morris, Claire Wallett, Barbara Hackett, Dominic Cotrupi and Thomas I eahy. Our third dramatic presentation, “The Valiant.” given in March was enacted by John McDonough, Robert McDonald, Robert Reardon, Anne Zabouski, Walter Mazon and Thomas Leahy. March 27th, our senior orators held forth in the gym. Patricia Howley won first prize in this competition, and on April 28th, represented M. S. J. in the district contest held at Rutland High School. Helen O’Brien was a close second prize winner, and Dorothy Morris received honorable mention. We had the privilege of attending a very interesting lecture by Rev. Father Bernard Hubbard, “Glacier Priest,” in the Memorial Armory, April 11th. On May 3rd we again observed the yearly custom of a May Procession in honor of Queen of the May. On the first and second Sundays of May we were guests of the Alumnae and Alumni respectively at their annual May breakfast held at the Bardwell Hotel on which occasions the Most Rev. Bishop Matthew F. Brady was guest speaker. On May 6th our band which includes several seniors, took part in the Music Festival in Burlington, and on May 12 joined the Rutland High School band in a concert held at the Armory under the auspices of the Rotary Club. May 19th our senior typists displayed their talent in a contest with St. Michael’s High School, Brattleboro. In the first week of June the Music Gradua- tion Concert was held in the school gymnasium in which several seniors parti- cipated. Now we are in the midst of Commencement activities. On Monday we enjoyed our class picnic at Lake St. Catherine, and at 5 p. m. today we held our Class Tea at the Long Trail Lodge. Our graduation exercises to which you are all cordially invited, will be held in the Armory Friday evening. Thus ends the thrilling history of the famous class of 1939 whose records and honors will go down in the eternal pages of history. Joseph Loyzeli.e We Bequeath Since the reign of the very remarkable class of 1939 is drawing to a close, it is only fitting that we should declare our valuable will.

Our Girls Ten Years Hence Last week I was shanghaied to the Midland Hospital, which as you know, was donated for the welfare of suffering humanity by Dorothy Morris, whose millionaire husband owns a string of DeLux filling stations reaching across the country. The doctors said that my case was one of “triple appenditorium”—yes they call things by strange names in 1949. Why, back in ’39 that was just plain appendicitis. Well, that’s neither here nor there. The ambulance in which I was transported belonged to the Rita McGarry Ambulance Service and was driven by that famous surgical nurse, Barbara Wilson. What a driver! I often wonder how we ever missed that bread truck. In the hospital I was under Dr. Eris DelBianco’s care. What a bevy of beautiful nurses met my gaze, as I opened my eyes on the second day after my operation! I had been given a slight overdose of ether and felt quite sick. At the foot of the bed stood nurses Eileen Daley, Gina Ribolini and Miriam Dona- hue; and who was taking my temperature but Mary Flanagan! I was in a semi-private room. The fellow in the other bed sat up and who did it turn out to be but Mark O’Shea, whom I had not seen in six years. Naturally, our talk turned to the Class of ’39 and our Alma Mater, M. S. J. During the conversation I learned that Eva Quesnel is living happily with her husband, a prosperous farmer. Mark told me of his law suit being handled by the feminine law firm of Burke, Burke, Bruten and Bradford. He had been run over by the television star Ann Zabouski and was suing for damages. Mary Quinn and Marion LaFond entered the Order of the Sisters of St. Joseph and are teaching their favorite subjects at our old Alma Mater, while Lois Morgan and Marjorie Betterly are instructors in public schools in New York City. Lorraine Layden and Rita Thayer are Physical Culture teachers at Vassar. Anita LeFrancois and Sylvia Rotella run a little restaurant in Buffalo, specializing in Franco-Italian dinners, and are they good! I had one once, maybe that’s why I got appendicitis! Barbara Hackett is married to an army officer and is raising a troop of little soldiers. Margaret O’Rourke and Helen Cline teach elocution in a studio in Greenwich Village. They made good use of their “loquacious” habit. Anne Marie Crce, famous French designer of women's clothes, came over from Paris two weeks ago with the latest in women’s apparel. Elaine Raleigh is directress of an art school, while Claire Wallett and Helen O’Brien are the owners of a photographic studio. Pat Howley is in charge of a school for cheer leaders in the town of Osaycanyoucheer, in California. Mark said that the Apex Motion Picture Studio wants her to sign a contract with them to make pictures of her famous school’s activities. Just at this time Mark’s secretary, Josephine Sangra, who is said to be one of the best, came in to take a letter for Mark to his lawyers. She told us that Veronica Scaffidc is now prin- cipal of the Rutland Business College. Mary Trudcll and “Lucius” are happily married and arc living in Australia. Mary Startari, Jane Mondella, Angclinc Smiel and Josephine Blanchard hold responsible secretarial positions under pro- minent business men. We were just going good in our little chat when nurse Angela Albano burst into the room and said it was long past time for our lights to be out. I looked out the window and to my surprise saw that it was dark. We had spent the after- noon and evening checking up on our school mates, with no idea of the passing of time. Ralph Evans Unitized by volunteers from the Rutland Historical Society and the Rutland Free Library. Our Boys in 1949 It was June 16. 1949, and as I sat looking through my souvenirs I found one of the programs of our graduation exercises. Just ten years ago that very night we had received our diplomas in the Armory. As I read the names of the mem- bers of my class I could not help wondering what had happened to them. True. I saw some of their names in the paper now and then, but of the majority I had heard nothing since the mad rush of graduation week. I closed my eyes wearily and as I was trying to imagine just where they all could be, suddenly a miniature likeness began to appear beside the name of each boy of the class of ’39. Sure enough there was Joe Loyzelle’s name up in lights on Broadway! He has taken Fred Astaire's place and is the outstanding dancer in America today. “Potsy” McDonald has become a great surgeon. He always did love to cut up! Orlando Zullo is the owner of a large coal company. He’s still being embar- rassed by being called “Ferdinand.” Johnny McDonough has married the “one and only” of his high school days, and is a successful business man. Tub Reardon has finally realized his ambition. He’s “Greeting Gates” on the Bob Hope pro- gram! Marty Cannon and Jimmy Lovett have a monopoly on the number one spot on the hit parade every week. They decided to commercialize their talents so Jimmy is now writing the words, and Marty the music, of jxjpular songs. Mickey McLaughlin and Joe Bove arc gentlemen farmers. They always claimed Leicester as the ideal location for a farm. Art Beauregard is known far and wide as the hermit of Danby. He’s still the most bashful boy ’round these parts. The newest male heart throb in Hollywood is none other than Dominic Cotrupi. our Class Sheik. Say, who is this I see taking Wayne King’s place as the King of the Waltz? Why it couldn’t beany one else but Bud Evans. Don’t tell me that after all these years he still likes to waltz! Bob Arthur is now president of Vassar College. The only complaint against him is that he tries to date the students! Morry Carbonncau is a speed test pilot. It got so that ears just weren’t fast enough for him. Ed Hurley has moved west and either owns or controls most of the cattle ranches out there. Johnny Czaehor is playing trumpet in Benny Goodman’s band. Tony Juba has taken up marble sculpturing. His speciality is marble hearts. Joe Solari always believed that little men could do big things so now lie’s putting on a musical revue in which a thousand people take part. He’s built a stage as big as the Yankee Stadium and the show lasts four hours. Our Great Zcigfield! Lloyd ('lark is a noted explorer and a high pressure salesman combined. He’s most noted for having sold an ice box to an Eskimo in the Arctic and a fur- nace to a native in Africa. Ray Gaynor is now editor of the New York Times. Tony Musella, our hard-boiled football hero is employed at Sally Ann’s bakery stuffing cream puffs! Baby Barron is now a daring test pilot in a toy airplane factory! Jimmy Lemmo has just completed a novel for True Story Magazine called “The Eternal Triangle.” Mickey McLaughlin could have helped him out on that- personal experience! Tony Stasieezko, well-known Boy Scout leader, was lost in the wilds of Danby the other day. Tom Leahy and Joe Mangan have the leads in that Broadway comedy, “Two Bashful Cousins” or “How to Have Fun at a Tourna- ment!” Another member of the class of ’39 starring in a play on Broadway is Mark O’Shea. Very appropriately he’s playing Cassanova in “Cassanova the Great Ivover.” Earl McGuire is the dance director of a troupe of girls called “Les Brunettes.” He always did have an eye for tall brunettes! Walt Mazon let his eyebrows wander all over his forehead and now he’s head of the C. I. O. Fred Cyrs is a midget knife thrower in the Barnum-Bailey Circus. At this point in some mysterious manner a Green and White mist enveloped the group of my classmates, as one by one each figure vanished from my sight. What a joy it is to know that every boy in the famous Class of ’39 is still living up to Academy traditions and proving himself a credit to his Alma Mater! Patricia Howley Advice to Juniors We were truly An illustrious class, a class outstanding in every phase of life and quick to forgive all injuries. But enough of this! The time is at hand to prepare for a more unpleasant task than to boast of our exploits and although senior boasting is justifiable, we of the class of 1939 have no need to boast. We have only to point to our achievements. They speak for themselves. Now for a little advice Juniors. First of all, I wish to inform you that you will never set the world on fire. Sad though it may be, Juniors, unlike the ugly duckling you have no bright future ahead of you. Therefore 1 deem it wise that you pursue such courses of study in your Senior year as will fit you for your occupations, such as leaning gracefully upon a shovel, etc. As you are now approaching the sacred dignity of seniorhood we recommend that you cease listening to radio programs such as “Little Orphan Annie,” “Jack Armstrong,” etc. Something like “The Ix ne Hanger,” or “Gangbusters” would be more appropriate and in keeping with your station in life. Then too, form opinions about everything that goes on in school. However, keep them to your- selves for you cannot change matters any by airing them. Desks are made for a purpose and it is not for the purpose of sleep. Therefore always sit up straight and keep your eyes open when class is in session. We always did. We advise Happy Houlihan to practice juggling with other implements than the drums of our band. Snow, in the language of the poets, is a beautiful white blanket which keeps the flowers and grass warm in winter. Leave it where it belongs. We Seniors always did. Radiators are made for the purpose of giving off heat, not as containers for waste paper. If it takes too much exertion to carry your waste paper to the recep- tacle intended for such, deposit it in your neighbor’s desk. Pencil sharpeners should be emptied every day. However a student’s hat is not the proper place for the disposal of the shavings. Try to be a help and consolation to your teachers. We of the Class of 1939 are proud to say that our teachers were able to take several vacations during the school year, so intelligent and scholarly were we in the pursuit of knowledge. A word in regard to books. Remember always, Juniors, that they are printed to enable you to obtain knowledge, and are not to be used as weapons of offense or defense. Since your arrival at the Mount, Juniors, the janitor’s life has been one of hard toil. You have littered corridors and classrooms with debris of all sorts. We on the other hand were always proud of the neat appearance of our rooms. And why shouldn’t we, seeing that we made a practice of remaining after school each day to see that they would be in perfect order for the next day’s session. Mend your ways, Juniors and give the janitor a decent break. We always did. Especially at this time when money is rather scarce we should act against waste. Therefore, I’ll pass this hint along to the gum-chcwers. When finished with your supply don’t dispose of it by sticking it to your desks. It can be used to great advantage about your person for keeping stray locks in place, etc. Always prepare your lessons every evening. Then on the eve of exams you can prepare for bed at the usual hour with no fear for the morrow. We Seniors always followed this procedure and never crammed. Furthermore we never spoke, except when called upon to give a recitation, while class was being con- ducted, but listened attentively to our pedagogues. “Listen and learn” was our motto and you Juniors would do well to adopt it. Ah, but I am getting discouraged, Juniors. Some of you have already begun to nod. Evidently this discourse of mine has been too much for your befuddled intellects. But perhaps my words have not gone over your heads entirely. Be wise—accept my advice and you will live happily as seniors and become a credit to your Alma Mater.

The helpful suggestions given us during this period of amateur journalism, proved of great value to us when we assumed full responsibility the following September under the efficient guidance of our adviser. Sr. M. Jerome. With Mary Quinn as Editor-in-Chief and Angela Albano as Business Mana- ger, both of whom were assisted by a competent group of associates, the staff went courageously forward to produce bi-weekly a journal of the hap] enings at Mount St. Joseph Academy. In the putting forth of our best efforts we have tried to maintain the high standards set by former staffs. As in previous years the “Clarion’' was entered in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association contest, in which national compe- tition it was awarded third prize. Despite the anxieties encountered and the time spent outside school hours in producing the various issues, we feel amply rewarded in the loyal support and the appreciation given us by the student body.

SODALITY OFFICERS President Rita McGarry (sealed) Vice-President Anita Lisp ran CO is Secretary Sylvia Rotella Treasurer Miriam Donahue Mt. St. Joseph Sodality In September, members of the Aca- demy girls’ Sodality elected the following officers to serve during the 1938-1939 school year: president, Rita McGarry; vice- president, Anita LeFrancois; secretary, Sylvia Rotella; and treasurer, Miriam Donahue. During the following weeks, under the direction of Sr. M. Annunciata, the officers were engaged in planning social activities for the year. Clubs, including the Book Club, the Out-of-Doors Club, the Stamp Club, and the Good Cheer Club, were organized and committees were chosen to direct Sodality undertakings. Most active of these organizations was the Book Club, whose members were entitled to take books from the Sodality library. Veronica Scaffide served during the year as head librarian. In December, members of the Good Cheer Club provided Christmas baskets of food and toys for needy families. A Valentine Day party was given members of the Sodality, in February at St. Peter’s hall. This affair was under the direction of a committee headed by Helen O’Brien and Claire Wallett. DEBATING TEAM Joseph Ixjyzelle Anne Ghee Jose ph Bov� :, chairman Patricia Howley Robert Reardon Forensic Activities Special interest was shown in debating this year by our Forensic Club, coached by Sr. M. Jerome. The national debate question, Resolved that the United States should form an alliance with Great Britain, was argued in intra-mural sessions and at Middlebury High School where the negative, upheld by Patricia Howley and Robert Reardon won the decision over the local club. A non- decision debate on the same question held at Fair Haven High School included the M. S. J. affirmative speakers, Joseph Loyzelle and Anne Marie Crec, as well as the negative team. The annual prize speaking contest took place in the school gymnasium March 27, in which Patricia Howley won first prize, Helen O'Brien second award, and Dorothy Morris honorable mention. As winner of first place in this contest Patricia Howley represented Mt. St. Joseph in the District Contest held at Rutland High School, April 28.

The movement was spon- sored by various civic and fraternal organiza- tions throughout the state. Chief objective of the program was the development of a more intelligent citizenship in the State of Vermont. The boys from M. S. J. who participated in the movement were Martin Cannon, Joseph Loy- zelle, Karl McGuire and Robert Reardon. Rutland “Boys’ City” was in progress during September and October 1938 under the direction of the Rutland Rotary Club. The boys from Rutland High and Mount Saint Joseph were instructed in the manner in which the alder- manic and school boards conducted their meet- ings, and in the type of business discussed and acted upon at them. The senior boys from the Academy who attended the regular meetings of Boys’ City were Joseph Loyzelle, Walter Mazon, Martin Cannon and Robert Reardon.

Three one-act plays coached by Sr. M. Annunciata and Sr. M. Jerome were enacted. At the Freshman Reception the play “The Delaney Coat of Arms” was pre- sented by a cast consisting of Lorraine Layden, as Mrs. Faster, a perplexed mother; Joseph Loyzelle as Mr. Foster, a kind hearted father who ridicules the Delaney coat of arms; Anne Cree as Marion, the love-sick daughter who wants a coat of arms; Joseph Bove as Jack, the troublesome younger brother; and Earl McGuire as Mortimer Delaney, Marion’s heart interest. “Headline Hunters” was given at an assembly program. Joseph Bove j)ortrayed the editor-in-chief of a school paper, with Dominic Cotrupi as his assistant and Thomas Leahy as humor editor. Claire Wallett, Dorothy Morris, and Barbara Hackett, class reporters appointed to help with the paper, bore the brunt of the editor’s jokes. Later in the year the play “The Valiant,” a one-act drama, was presented. Robert McDonald played the part of the warden of a state prison. John Mc- Donough was the condemned prisoner, and Anne Zabouski, his sister, Josephine, whom he does not wish to acknowledge. Robert Reardon portrayed the kind Father Daly, the prison Chaplain. Prison attendants were Thomas Leahy and Walter Mazon. This yearbook was digitized by volunteers from the Rutland Historical Society and the Rutland Free Library.

Much credit must be given to Mr. Baldwin for developing a green and inexperienced group of boys into the smooth and well-balanced machine they proved themselves to be. Mt. St. Joseph Academy was very fortunate in securing the services of Mr. Joseph Woitkoski as teacher of History and Civics and as assistant coach. Mr. Woitkoski was graduated from Fordham Uni- versity in 1938 and early in the summer came to Rutland to play baseball as a member of the Rutland Royals. I t On the Gridiron The Green Wave of M. S. J. had its most successful football season since 1934. Under the efficient guidance of Coach Baldwin and Coach Woitkoski the Acads were victorious in five of their eight game schedule. The opening engagement saw the Wave down a good Proctor team to the tune of thirteen to seven. This was a great start for the M. S. J. boys and they were all pepped up for the coming game with Rutland High School. They were, however, doomed to disappointment as R. II. S. took the game by the score of 12 to 6, although the Acads battled the High School on even terms throughout the game. It was just one of those games in which the breaks count. M. S. J. bounced back into the win column the next week by edging an under-rated Poultney team 7 to 0. Middlebury a new entry in the Marble Valley League, came to town with a big, rangy team but the boys from the north were no match for the speed and aerial attack of the “greenics”, the final score being 19 to 0. The M. S. J. squad travelled to Pittsford for their next game and proceeded to overwhelm them by the score of 40 to 0. The first team rolled up an early lead and coasted to an easy victor}'. Every man on the M. S. J. squad saw action for at least a few minutes. The following week M. S. J. played hast to a tricky and well drilled Bellows Falls team. The boys from Bellows Falls pulled a smart play at the very beginning when, on receiving the kickoff, they immediately punted right back, and the Acads were forced to battle with their backs to the wall during the entire first half. This game marked the Academy’s second set back of the year, as Bellows Falls won 6 to 2. One of the highlights of the season was the M. S. J. 28 to 0 victory over the Blue and White from Fair Haven. For four long years no Academy football team had defeated a Fair Haven team and they had come to be looked upon as the Mounties number one jinx. West Rutland and M. S. J. were now both tied for first place in the Marble Valley League both having five wins and no defeats in league competition. This game was the last game of the season for both schools and meant the Marble Valley League Cham- pionship for the winner. West Rutland opened fast and continued to play at top speed throughout the contest. They displayed a colorful aerial circus that showered accurate passes on the Academy secondary and when these failed they would skirt the ends behind beautiful interference. West Rutland could not be stopped that day, and it was the Academy’s misfortune to play them on this occasion when the final score tallied 26 to 7 in favor of the Green and Gold. Highlights of the “38” Football Season: 1. Lloyd Clark, captain and center of the M. S. J. team was unanimous choice for the All State team. 2. M. S. J. broke Fair Haven High School’s four-year-old jinx by defeating them 28 to 0. 3. The 2,200 spectators at the M. S. J.-West Rutland game for the Marble Valley League Championship. 4. Jim Lemmo's spectacular catch that netted the Academy six points against R. II. S. Jim was named left end on the All Marble Valley League team. 5. The excellent performances given by the M. S. J.

S. J. football team, is one of the best football players the Academy has had. He was the backbone of the defense and a powerful man on the ofTcnse. Lloyd had the honor of being named on the All-State team and the All Marble Valley League team. Martin Cannon is a veteran of three years. He played the left tackle position. It was Marty who blocked the punt in the Proctor game, that resulted in a touchdown for the Academy and provided them with the winning margin. Jim Lkmmo held down the left end. He was one of the best offensive ends in the state. Jim, because of his fine playing throughout the year, was named on the All Marble Valley league team. Jim Lovett is a two letterman. Jimmy played right tackle position. He was powerful on the defensive and an excellent blocker on the offense. Anthony Musella was our fullback. The team suffered a severe jolt when Tony was injured in the R. II. S. game. He was forced to remain on the sidelines for a few games but came back strong in the remaining games of the schedule. Joseph Bove piloted the Academy team this year. He proved to be a peppy quarterback and always kept up the morale of the team. Anthony Stasieczko was our representative from Danby, whence the Academy has received many fine football men. Tony was clever at breaking through the opponents’ line and was commonly known as the fifth man in their backficld. Joseph Mangan started the season as just another football player, but l ccausp of his drive and a great deal of natural ability he became one of the best linemen on the team. Fred Cyrs was one of the smallest boys on the team, but what he lacked in stature he made up in spirit. Fred always gave a good account of himself in every game in which he participated. Rai. ph Evans was the manager of the team. He was a hard and very efficient worker. Ralph fulfilled his many duties in his usual calm and competent manner. Basketball by LLOYD CLARK CAPTAIN JAMES LEMMO Lcmmo was mentioned late in the 1937-38 campaign as being the strong silent man on an otherwise flashy first five, but it wasn’t until the last of the season that his rebounding skill, his strength under either backboard, and his persistent drive began to play a major role in Green Wave operations. Jimmy consistently pushed the play from his rear court spot, and his offensive labors received approval and applause from the coach as well as from the spectators. Influenza snapped Captain Jim down, midway through the 38-39 season, and his loss was greatly bemoaned. 1500 FAN’S WATCH M. S. J. EVEN CITY SERIES Displaying a brilliant brand of basket- ball, the Mt. St. Joseph Green Wave set back the hitherto undefeated Rutland quintet 38-31 Friday, Jan. 27, at the Armory, in the presence of 1500 rabid fans. The game was a complete reversal of the previous tilt, with the Acads piling up more points in the first ouartcr in this game than they scored throughout the entire Jan. 13 contest. Pray and Fucci opened the game by tossing in two twin-counters to send the Wave into the lead. Percey’s long shot and Rove’s one-hander tied the count. McGuire's foul shot sent the Mounts into the lead again, a lead which they never relinquished. lcmmo split the cords twice in succession to make the score stand M. S. J. 9 -Rutland 4. After his second basket the Academy captain and guard who had sparked his team by his spirited nlav left the game amidst the cheers of both teams’ partisans. The heavy scoring continued throughout the period which closed with the Academy on the long end of a 15-9 count. M. S. J. continued to dominate the play as the second canto got under way but late in the quarter the Raiders, paced by Pcrcey and Stanzionc, rallied to cut the M. S. J. lead down to three points at half-time, 23-20. Crowley opened the second half by scoring a free throw to place his team but two points away. At this time the .Acads put on the pressure and with the brilliant team play they had exhibited throughout the first half surged further into the lead. They held a 33-27 advantage at the close of the third session. In the final quarter the Wave cautiously protected their lead while the High School lads tried desperately to pull the game out of the fire.” The Acads held a tight defense while scoring enough points to maintain their safe margin.

St. Joseph Green Wave set back the fast-stepping Proctor quintet by a 31-29 count. Although the Acads were without the services of Jim I emmo, Captain and stellar guard, and Chub” Pray, they continually outplayed the Marble towners to gain the verdict. The Wave built up a 10-point lead in the first half and then out-fought the Phantoms in a spectacular finish. Proctor took a 1-0 lead when R. Burgess scored on a foul attempt shortly after the clash opened. Then the Acads staged a rally which took everybody by surprise. McGuire flipped in a one hander to put the Acads in front. Rousso tallied a floor basket and a foul shot shortly after. Daley popped in two twin-counters from outside the foul circle which caused the Phantoms to take time out. McGuire’s basket and Fucci's foul conversion gave the Acads a 12-2 lead at the quarter. Both teams battled evenly throughout the second quarter with the score standing M. S. J. 18, Proctor 8 as the teams left the floor at half time. During the first half Proctor failed to score from the floor although they converted 8 out of 10 chances from' the charity stripe. In the third period the Phantoms suddenly came to life and, with “Brick” Burgess pacing the attack, pulled up to within one point of the Acads, 25-24. Both clubs fought desperately in the last quarter in an effort to snatch a victory. Late in the quarter, Proctor grabbed a 28-27 lead but the Acads were not to be denied. Rousso converted the first of his two fouls to knot the count. Proctor secured the rebound on the second attempt and tried to work the ball upon it. Mc- Guire broke up the play and then tossed the sphere to Fucci who dribbled a short way and cut the cords with the winning basket. Skuba’s foul shot placed Proctor again 1 point behind. With 15 seconds left to play, Fucci scored a foul shot to finish the scoring. This yearbook was digitized by volunteers from the liutland Historical Society and the Rutland Free Library JAMES LOVETT Lovett came into his own at the outstart of the 1938-39 season by gaining the starting berth at center. “Big Jim” was one of the tallest court men in the state, towering 6 feet 5% in. into the air. Jim turned in his best performance against Burr and Burton when he tossed in 7 baskets for 14 points. He played a prominent part in all M. S. J. games, for his height enabled the Aeads to keep control of the pellet, while he was in action. On the defense also, Jim had a knack of breaking up opposition plays continuously, just when it seemed inevitable that opponents would score on the Aeads. M. S. J. EDGES WKSTS1DK M. S. J. remained unbeaten in Marble Valley league contest. ; this year by down- ing the West Rutland five in the Westside school gym, Jan. 6, by the score of 18 to 16. This is the lowest count the Wave has been held to, so far this year. The first quarter was a nip and tuck battle with neither team being able to open up. This canto ended in a five-five tie. At half- time the Green Wave was out in front by a 12 to 10 score and kept this slim lead throughout the third quarter to be ahead at the end of this period by the count of 16 to 13. The final 8 minutes of play had the crowd on edge. Westside tallied only 3 points and the Wave was held to two during this period. “Chubby” Pray again led the Green Wave attack. The scoring for the Green and Gold was well divided. Bloomer and Bancwicz shone on the defense for the Green and Gold. ACADS BOW TO ST. MARY’S 31-29 The Green Wave of M. S. J. suffered its first setback of the current season, Friday Dec. 30, at Glens Falls, losing to St. Mary’s Academy 34-29. This loss broke the Aeads string of six victories. St. Mary’s had the game in hand in the opening minutes, piling up a 14-3 lead at the quarter. The Aeads slowed up the New York staters in the second period but were still on the short end of a 19-7 lead nt halftime. The St. Mary's team threatened to make the game a runaway” as it increased its lead to 25-10 in the third stanza. The Aeads, pared by Pray, McGuire and Morris staged a brilliant rally in the last period, scoring 19 points, but they were still 5 points short when the final gun sounded. The leading scorers for the St. Mary’s club were O’Brien with 9, and Linchan with 8 points. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SEASON The city series between Rutland High and M. S. J. was a toss up. The Raiders took the opener, a drab bit of entertainment, 16 to 14, and the Grcenies came back in the next fray to post a 38 to 31 triumph in a thriller that lost much of its luster when Capt. Jim Lemmo failed in a comeback effort, and had to be assisted from the Armory surface. Springfield and M. S. J. squared up matters nicely, the Wave coming through 35 to 29, with the Cosmopolitans prevailing 26 to 20 later in the season. During the season scheduled with Marble Valley League teams, the Aeads split with Proctor and West Rutland, lost to Black River, but held double victories over the other five clubs of the league, namely Fair Haven, Burr and Burton, Brandon, Poultney and Pittsford. The Aeads were badly outclassed when playing Cathe- dral, due in part to the absence of three varsity men who figured in the key combination. The set back at the hands of St. Mary’s again showed that the Academy was meeting first class competition. A remarkable feature in the Academy’s scheduled season was the fact that they split with ever}' major club in the south. This proved that the Academy had its most successful season since 1934. With three of his first stringers each tossing in 125 points or more in the course of the 22-game schedule, Coach Baldwin's “38-39” quintet piled up 15 wins against 7 reversals to compile a .681 average.

KARL McGUIRE Earl McGuire broke into the Acads court picture in 1937 at a time when the first line composed of Pillon, Pokrywka and O’Brien was working in advance of the Comardo and Lcmmo defense. One game in particular will always stand out in basketball history at the Mount, namely the Fair Haven, M. S. J. encounter, played at the Slate Town. Fair Haven led 30 to 29 with but a minute to play, when McGuire dribbled through the lane for a sparkling 2-pointer. Shortly after on an out-of-bounds play he tossed in another. With ten seconds to play he recovered a rebound and scored again to make the count M. S. J. 35—Fair Haven 30. WAVE’S SECOND QUARTER RALLY LICKS SPRINGFIELD Another victory was added, Dec. 28, to the unbroken Green Wave string of wins when a fighting Springfield team was downed by the score of 35-29. A second period scoring spree was the cause of victory for the Wave which chalked up 21 (Mints in this canto. “Chubby” Pray started the fireworks with three baskets before the quarter was a minute old. Mor- ris and Rousso stepped in to help along the rally in thus hectic 8 minutes of play. Springfield dominated the first quarter and was leading at the end of this period by a count of 11 to 5. As soon as the second period started, “Chubby” Pray began banging away at the hoop, and, before Springfield realized what was going on, knotted the score with three twin counters. This inspired the Acads, as they went on to score 15 more points to lead as the gun sounded for the half by the score of 26-15. During the second half the Mounts protected their lead and a tired Cosmo five tired vainly to snatch victory from them. “Chubby” Pray, “Jack” Morris and “Herb” Rousso lead the Wave attack, while Abrahamovich starred for the Cosmopolitans. ACADS LOSE BERTH IN STATE TOURNEY To the count of 27-33, Mt. St. Joseph was edged out of the State Tournament by a hard fighting Westside team in the Armory last Tuesday night. The game was loosely played with neither team dis- playing good basketball nor good shooting, and leaving the fans very much in doubt as to which outfit would win. At the opening of the first quarter, the Acads started the ball rolling by jumping ahead of the visitors, 5 to 3, but the west- siders bombarded the hoop and took the lead as the first quarter ended. In the second quarter both teams missed con- sistently and threw away many scoring opportunities. The invaders scored two floor baskets, while the Wave were held but to one. During the third quarter, the Acads started to go to town, tied the count twice, and then went ahead once by two points, but the end of the canto found them still trailing 19-15. In the final chapter both clubs fought hard and the Academy threatened to gain the lead several times, only to have their efforts smothered by the Marbletowners. Bishop starred in tfic fore court for the victors, and Bloomer and Bariwicz played fine defensive ball in the rear court. McGuire, Morris, and Daley were outstanding for the Wave. JOSEPH MANGAX The ’38-’39 basketball team was fortunate, indeed, in having such an effi- cient manager as Joseph Mangan. The squad had many tough and discouraging breaks, coupled with injuries and colds, which needed the care of a good manager. In all trying situations Joe was there with the cough medicine and bandages, very cheerfully playing the part of the “Squad Doctor.” The Wave basketeers extend to their Manager a vote of hearty thanks.

Flanagan Girls’ Basketball Coached by Mr. Baldwin, the senior girls’ basketball team has passed one of its most successful seasons at the Mount. Although the girls did not parti- cipate in games with other schools, they provided their fans with many thrills in inter-class tilts arranged by Sr. M. Eucharia, athletic monitress. During the four year existence of the team, Helen O’Brien has captured scoring and passing honors, and Rita Thayer’s snappy game has made her a close second. As outstanding guards and a sure-fire combination, the team had Mary Flanagan and Claire Wallett. CHEERLEADERS P. Howley F. Daley J. Hitzel T. Ryan F. Capeless F. Waterman B.

Baseball As “The Mount” goes to press before the baseball season has reached its half-way point, only a small part of the M. S. J. diamond record can be given. Coach Baldwin began the season with green material, but succeeded in welding together a fast, young unit. Only one senior gained a berth on the M. S. J. nine, Capt. Tony Musella, a veteran and the spark plug of the team who plays first base. “Chick” Bird, a junior, has kept a watchful eye on the keystone sack, with sophomore “Ziggie” Sapinski flanking him on the right at the short- stop post. The hot corner has been ably guarded by “Chub” Pray, also a junior. In the outer garden, we have“Funzy” Flory, a freshman patrolling the spac- ious center field area, while the left field is covered by Carmine Pacca, the third junior on the Academy nine. “Jimmy” Maneri, a second year man, and “Oliver” LeFrancois, a frosh, alternate in right field. Bobby Ballou, a soph, handles the catching assignment and does it very well. For his mound corps, Coach Baldwin has “Bob” Tcrinzini, and “Smitty” Smith chucking them in from the right side, with “Ace” Bartlett as the third number of the hurling staff. The M. S. J. squad got off on the wrong foot, dropping its opener to Fair Haven, 8-7. Following this setback, the Acads scored successive victories over the Brandon and Burr-Burton nines, hitting the ball hard in both games to win by 10-4 and 10-3 counts, respectively. The Wave’s batting fell down in their next tilt with Middlcbury, as they bowed 4-1 in a well-played game. This contest was a tough one for Terenzini, Academy moundsman, to lose. However, when he weakened momentarily in the fifth inning, the Middmen pushed over 3 runs to break up the 1-1 deadlock. Thus the Acads have a .500 percentage as they plunge into the remainder of the season, the record of which, unknown to us now, will be history in a few weeks (Unitized by volunteers from the Rutland Historical Society and the Rutland Free Library. —Schedule— April 29 Fair Haven May 6 Brandon May 9 Burr and Burton May 12 Middlebury May 16 Black River Academy May 19 Proctor May 23 West Rutland May 26 Pittsford May 30 Rutland June 2 Poultney June 9 Rutland ♦Games away. ... -43 MOUNT SAINT JOSEPH ORCHESTRA Violins Ralph Valenti Richard Flanagan Veronica Rounds Betty LaVaJley Helena Leahey Josephine Blanchard Marie Raymond Joseph Solari Helen McLaughlin Charlotte Raymond George Braves Anne Anoe Lucy Flory Elaine Lefevre John Peters Gordon Ballard Joseph Pomponia Jane Caggegi Cello Victoria Haddad Alto Mary LaPlant Florence Casey Mary LeGresley Clarinets Lillian Solari Martin Cannon Mary Rose Hackett Edward Foster James Howley William Wallett Sheila Fagan Barbara Wilson Flute and Piccolo Eileen Daley Mary Brislin Sousaphone Richard Mooney Saxophone Louis D’Angello Trombones William Conway Joseph Congdon Rosalie Gregory Drums John Clifford Orchestra Much has been accomplished by the Mount St. Joseph Orchestra during the past year.
