St. Joseph Rutland, - Vermont To His Excellency, The Most Reverend Matthew F. Brady, D. D Bishop of Burlington, whose sympathetic and paternal understanding of youth, keen interest in their spiritual welfare, ed- ucation, and recreation have won for him our respect and admiration, we sincerely and gratefully dedi- cate the Nineteen Hundred Forty “Mount.” DEDICA Foreword We have come to a fork in the road. For the past four years we have been traveling on a smooth stretch through the various paths of our course in high school. Our journey has been made pleasant and profitable through the kindly interest of our teachers, and the delightful relations that we have had with them, and with our fellow students. In this, the 1940 Mount, we have compiled, with the invalu- able aid of our Adviser, Sr. Mary Jerome, a record in general, of our achievements and activities at the Academy during our high school career, and in particular, of our senior year. To each of us it will ever call forth sweetest memories, and reflect the glory of Mount St. Joseph Academy.

OlD Acadfmy Bi ll DIM. r Chapel Our Pastors In paying tribute to our beloved pastors, we have in mind not only their solicitude for us while wc were students at Mount Saint Joseph, but also their interest in us during our grammar school days. It is due to their zealous efforts that we have been afforded a Catholic education, one of our most treasured possessions. In providing this privilege for us, our pastors have incurred anxiety and expense. As an expression of our gratitude, we pledge them, in return, our loyal support now, and through the years. The Very Reverend John M. Brown, V. F. Reverend John M. Kennedy Reverend Jeremiah D. Sullivan Reverend Thomas H. Connor Appreciation During our entire high school course Rev. Father Connor, our Chaplain, has been a loyal friend. He frequently conducted our Religion classes, and by nis sincere words of advice has encouraged us to aim for the highest and best in all we undertake. We realize how fortunate we are in being so closely associated with one, who, by his priestly dignity and sympathetic nature, has won our respect and affection. Room 11 — Homeroom, College Preparatorv Seniors In the carrying out of our daily schedule, we assembled in various rooms, but when it came to really enjoying our school life, “there was no place like home —our homerooms. Although, generally speaking, Rooms 4 and 11 arc no different from other classrooms of the building, it seemed that our senior homerooms have had a special “charm,” through which we have enkindled life- long friendships with our teachers and fellow students.

Tonight, we, the class of 1940, are assembled here for our graduation from our beloved Alma Mater, Mount Saint Joseph Academy. For the past four years, you, our parents and teachers, nave watched over and lovingly guided our lives and actions. You have smoothed out the rough places and guarded us by precepts, advice, and counsel from the danger spots. Now, we are about to jo.n the ranks of leaders, following the well- beaten path formed by those who have taken up the torch and have gone before us. All of us will be called upon to put into practice those lessons so well taught us during our years at our beloved Academy. Each one of us is determined to be a beacon light in his little sphere of influence, be it the Catholic home, the Vineyard of Christ, the Business World, or the Professions. So, with firmness of mind and soul, we face on the morrow, a new life in this busy world, determined to be worthy Catholic American citizens and to contribute our share to the betterment of our less fortunate fellow beings. We fully realize the great task which will be ours, and we go forth to be leaders, confident with St. Paul, that “we can do all things in Him Who strengthens us.” Salutatory In the name of the Class of 1940 of Mount Saint Joseph Academy, I am happy to have the honor of welcoming you to our Commencement exercises. We have eagerly looked forward to this evening that we might, in some small measure, repay you for your love and solicitude, your patience and self-sacrifices, which have enabled us to reach the goal of graduation. To you, parents and friends, and to you, our pastors and teachers, who have ever had our best interests at heart, we offer our sincercst appre- ciation and gratitude. With highest hopes we go forth from our Alma Mater to take our places in a world torn with strife, because of our realization that we have been taught at Mt. St. Joseph to live our lives in such a manner that, in the future, you will be proud of us and of our accomplishments. Rita Leclfrc This x car hook was (Unitized hr volunteers from the PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS After four years of happy associations at Mount Saint Joseph Academy, we are approaching the time of graduation. Feelings of regret, mingled with jov, fill our hearts as we are about to bid farewell to teachers and classmates, who have endeared themselves to us. Due to the untiring efforts on the part of our instructors, we are now prepared to go forth to attain further accomplishments. Some of us will enter college, while others will become apprentices of various types in the great School of Life. Whatever our undertakings may be, we feel confident of success, for we have been trained in a school that provides for our spiritual and material welfare. Needless to say, we must continue striving to reach our goals, to mould our characters, to meet disappointments with the calm assurance that by faith and determination we will attain our ends. We are grateful to our parents, whose many sacrifices have made possible our attendance at the Academy, to our teachers for their kind friendship and excellent training, and to all who have guided and helped us in any way. Florence Daly Rutland Historical Society and the Rutland Free Library. In Memoriam Naomi Corey In September, 1938, Naomi Corey of Danby came to Mt. St. Joseph Academy. In her own quiet, unassuming way she quickly won the friendship and esteem of her teachers and classmates. Naomi was an ideal girl, refined, helpful to her companions, conscientious about her studies, and one who showed real school spirit. Feelings of deep sorrow and regret filled our hearts when, on October 29, 1939, of our senior year, we heard of our classmate’s sudden death. The sad news came as a stunning blow, so suddenly was she taken from us. Her quiet smile and gentle manner will ever be remembered by us, who loved her so well. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to her dear parents, relatives, and friends. Although we miss Naomi from our midst, we are sure that she is perfectly happy with her Creator. We feel proud, also, that God has accepted this first pure gift of the Class of ’40 of the Mount, as His very Own to enjoy with Him the unending glory of Heaven. May she rest in peace!

WHAT WE HAVE DONE Of course, such a class as ours has never before been enrolled at M. S. J. From bashful, stuttering freshmen, who lurked in the dark corners, we have developed into the self-confident class of 1940. Our accomplishments are not to be surpassed, as I shall endeavor to prove to you. It was early in our senior year that we realized our importance, when we “solemnly” chose class officers: Florence Daly, president; Robert West, vice-president; Rita Fox, secretary; John Nichols, treasurer. At the first assembly the election of Athletic Association officers was held. Joseph Pray was chosen president; Patricia Welch, vice-president; Alice Quinn, secretary; and Henry Russo, treasurer. I he first edition of the “Clarion” came out in September. Under the able editorship of Mary Higgins it brought honor to the school by being chosen a prize winner in the Columbia National Contest of school papers. Con- tinuing the publication of the “Mount,” the major achievement of ’39, we undertook a task not small, of trying to compose a bigger and better annual than that of last year. John Scanlon was appointed editor-in-chief, and Theresa O’Shea business manager. At a meeting held September 20, the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin Mary elected Clivia Ambrosini, president; Mary Foster, vice-president; Rose Fontano, secretary; and Constance Barrett, treasurer. October 29 our hearts were saddened at the death of a promising student and a beloved member of our class, Naomi Corey, as a result of an appendix operation. A delegation of seniors attended the funeral in Danby. On the evening of November 11 we entertained the freshmen in the school gym. After a drastic initiation on the part of the freshmen a real social evening was enjoyed. About this time the senior French Class formed a club, the “Cercle Francais De La Petite Fleur,” nominating as president Clivia Ambro- sini, vice-president Veronica Rounds, treasurer Madeleine Gallipeau, and secretary Mary Higgins. Among its activities were the compiling of a project book, the formation of a correspondence club, a number of informal parties, and a French playlet. Senior Day at Castlcton Normal was attended by Frances Donahue, Doris Moulton, Loyola Eagan and Dorothy Blanchard. The school retreat in December was given by Reverend Father Thomas Sullivan, C.P. Of the many school activities, the retreat is looked forward to with pleasant antici- pation. In the Senior Debating Contest, January 18, the negative side upheld by John McGuirk, Frances Capcless, and Dorothea Raymond, won the decision over the affirmative supported by John Nichols, Clivia Ambrosini, and Joan Hitzel. In April both teams took part in a District Debate Tournament at Fair Haven High School. The national debate question, “Resolved: That the Federal Government should own and operate the railroads” was the subject of both discussions. First prize in the essay contest sponsored in February by the Rutland Branch of the National Association of Life Underwriters was awarded to WHAT WE HAVE DONE John Scanlon. All other prizes in the competition were also awarded to Academy seniors. The next big events checked on the Senior Calendar, and enjoyed immense' ly by all of us, were the Southern Vermont Tournament at the Armory and the State Tourney at Burlington. In March, the class of 40 was well represented at the first Junior Prom sponsored by the Academy. Two one-act plays, Last Flight Over and Betty Behave were presented in the gym and in Fair Haven. John Nichols, Mary Foster, Elizabeth LaValley, and Shirley Mason were the senior members of the casts. The Prize Speaking Tilt was held in April in the gym. Joseph Pray was selected winner, thus securing the honor of representing the school at the district contest in Burlington. Joan Hitzel was given second prize and Elizabeth Avery, honorable mention. In presenting the Senior Play, The New Co-Ed, the class of '40 reached the peak of its activities. Long to be remembered was the splendid acting of the eleven principal characters: Clivia Ambrosini, Joan Hitzel, Elizabeth Avery, lames Raleigh, John Nichols, Loyola Preseau, Carmine Pacca, John McGuirk, Mary Frances Hanrahan, Rita Leclerc and Dorothea Raymond. The enactment of this play was our greatest triumph, and the best received of all our activities. On the first and second Sundays of May, the Alumnae and Alumni, respectively, were host to the Senior Class at Hotel Bard well. Rev. Richard Rooney and Rev. Fr. Kelly were guest speakers on these occasions. The commercial students had the opportunity of proving their skill in the annual typing contest held with St. Michael’s High School of Brattleboro, May 17, and were awarded the trophy. As a climax to their musical career at the Academy, several seniors took part in the Music Graduation Concert the week of June 3. The class enjoyed a picnic Monday, at Lake St. Catherine. Wednesday afternoon we held our Class Tea at 5 P. M. at Long Trail Lodge and after attending Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament in the Academy Chapel, we presented our Class Night Program at 8:15 P. M. at Christ the King Hall. Our Commencement Exercises were held in the Armory June 14 with His Excellency the Most Reverend Matthew F. Bradv D.D., Bishop of Burlington, presiding and Rev. J. M. Kennedy, speaker for the occasion. We arc proud of the Annals of the Class of 1940, and it will be pleasant to recount them in the years to come.

When we returned to the Mount in September, we took over full management of the school paper. Under the editorship of Mary Higgins, supported by a com- petent staff, the bi-weekly publication of the Academy enjoyed a most successful year, winning for the sixth time recognition in the Columbia National School Press Association contest sponsored by Columbia University. In publishing our school journal we tried to live up to the splendid record set by our predecessors, and to please our readers. The “Clarion” staff is especially grateful to its faculty adviser, Sister Mary Jerome, for her helpful supervision. Le Cercie Francais De La Petite Fleur In November the French III students, under the direction of Sr. M. Concepta, formed a club, “Le Ccrclc Francais Dc La Petite Fleur,” with the following officers: Clivia Ambrosini, president; Veronica Rounds, vice-president; Mary Higgins, secretary; Madeleine Gallipeau, treasurer. The members compiled project books and took part in French games and French plays. A pre- lenten party was the main social event sponsored by the organization.

Such is the record of the following senior boys, who have been trained by Sr. M. Clementine, Sr. M.

Both teams took part in a District Debate Tournament held in April at Fair Haven High School. March 19, in the school gym, the junior debating team under the direction of Sr. Agnes Marie, argued the proposition: “Resolved that President Roosevelt should serve a third term.’’ The affirmative, Albert Cree, James Foster, Shirley Swift were awarded the decision over the negative team; Edwin Bassett, Alice Laughlin and William Fagan. In the annual senior prize speaking contest, April 19, coached by Sr. M Annunciata, Joseph Pray was awarded first prize. Joan Hitzel won second place and Elizabeth Avery was given honorable mention.

From a group of thirty-four tryouts, eleven students were chosen to present the four-act comedy. In addition to those playing stellar roles, twelve seniors, as college students aided the cast in the working out of the theme, the arrival of a new student at college, and her treatment at the hands of a jealous rival. The play, directed by Sr. M. Jerome and Sr. M. Imelda, was presented at a matinee, and at an evening performance, April 26, at the Rutland High School Auditorium. The cast included the following players: Clivia Ambro- sini, Joan Hitzel,John Nichols, Elizabeth Avery, Loyola Preseau, James Raleigh, Mary Frances Hanrahan, Rita Lecierc, John McGuirk, Carmine Pacca. In the role of Students were: Robert West, Joseph Pray, Rosalie Gregory, Anne Welch, Frances Donahue, William Hulihan, Patricia Welch, Florence Daly, Anne Mandigo, John O’Rourke, John Bird and Louis Fucci. In March, two one act plays, “Last Flight Over,’’ and “Betty Behave,’’ coached by Miss Stacy Ketcham, were given in the school gym. John Nichols was the senior member of the staff of the former production,and Elizabeth LaValley, Mary Foster and Shirley Mason composed the 'cast of the second play. “Last Flight Over’’ was awarded first place in a district one-act play contest held at Fair Haven High School, March 28.

John Bird, Robert West, Robert Clifford Municipal problems of the City of Rutland received double consideration during the months of March and April, 1940, for, together with the official city administrators, a group of school boy city officials were concentrating on city affairs. This dual consideration resulted from a project sponsored by the Rotary Club for the purpose of instructing future citizens in the conducting of city government. Representatives from the Mount were: “Mayor” Robert West; “Presi- dent of the Board of Aldermen,” John Scanlon; “Aldermen,” John McGuirk, William Hulihan, John Nichols and John O’Rourke; “Chief of Police,” Charles Spoon; and “Overseer of the Poor,” Charles Trudell. In June 1939, Charles Spoon, Robert Clifford, John Bird and Robert West represented Mt. St. Joseph in a mock session of the state legislature at the “Green Mountain Boys’ State” at Northfield. This project was under the direction of the American Legion with the cooperation of local fraternal orders in various parts of the state.

Gallo Thanks A Million The foregoing pages give a record of the many extra curricular activities of our school. We feel, however, that we would not be justified in merely mentioning their existence, for every activity mentioned has served to spread the true glory of the Mount. Everything undertaken at M. S. J., including extra-curricular, is fostered with the thought that “whatever is worth doing, is worth doing well.” Thus, we have a perfect balance between our regular classroom routine and our “extras.” Much of the school’s culture is derived from the music appreciation of its students. It is true that we have in our midst, very talented musicians, but it is to our teachers of music that they owe much of their success. It is they who encourage and help pupils to develop their inusicial talent. It is to their efforts that we attribute the fact that we have one of the finest high school bands and orchestras in the state. Again, the Academy has been successful in forensic activities, but if it were not for the tutorship that these youthful dramatists, public speakers, and debaters received at Mount St. Joseph, it is likely that their talents along these lines would remain hidden for lack of encouragement and interest. We have had the pleasure this year, and for the past six years, of publishing a highly rated high school newspaper. Although the editors and business managers have figured in the success of our publication, the fact remains that talent must be developed, and journalists and business managers must be instructed. It is the type of instruction that is available at M. S. J. that has made promising journalists out of our students. We are proud as a class to have justified our title of “Mount St. Joseph Students,” but we are well aware of, and appreciate fully the influence that our faculty have had upon our success.

BERNARD MANGAN The Four Mounts Jerry LeFrancois .... Our flashy little quarterback, was rapidly developing into a capable blocking back, when a knee injury in the Middlebury game, forced him to the sidelines for the remainder of the season. Bob Terenzini .... One of the finest halfbacks in the state, ran up a total of 43 points, to distin- guish himself as the third highest scorer in Vermont schoolboy circles. In addition, he topped the Marble Valley scoring column. Terry reeled off some of the longest runs of the Vermont Scholastic Grid season for ’39, one being an 85-yard run-back of an intercepted pass in the Proctor game. Funzy Flory .... The “speed specialist” of the Mount, made the end run a very popular play among the Baldwin ranks. His broken field running proved to be the big problem for Academy opposition. Mitch Oskoski .... Was very effective in his role as “pickupman”. Whenever two or three yards were needed to complete a first down drive, the Mounties had but to place the oval in the hands of “Speed,” who would calmly waltz through the oppos- ing line and it would be “first and ten” for the Academy.

S. J. during the past three years are favorably portrayed in the athletic record annals. His valuable advice has aided many an Academy lad, and his outstanding aim in mentoring is to build “men” first, and then develop his “men” into athletes. We trust that he will be as successful in these endeavors in the future as he has been in 1939-40. I he task of filling the vacancy left by the resig- nation of iMr. Joseph Woitkoski was not an easy one. However, the work of Mr. Joseph Moore, as Assistant Coach at the Mount, has proven him to be a most worthy successor. The records of the freshman teams piloted by Mr. Moore, are indeed a tribute to his efforts. Bob Hannon forms the third “link” in our “chain of efficiency.” Since we have dwelt on the other two “links,” it is fitting that we record the merits of our manager. Among the husky football warriors, he appeared to be a “little man,” but when it came to fulfilling his duties, he was by no means small. Bob was a vital part of the “great” team of 1940. 9 Review of the Season The chapter of grid history that was written by the Mount St. Joseph football team in 1939 is one which tells of the most successful season in tne history of M. S. J. athletics. This success involves more than the number of games won and lost, for along with the excellent record which the team as a group has compiled, there are, among the men of the Mount, individual grid' sters who shone not only in the vicinity of the Academy, but who grabbed the state-wide spotlight as well. A glance at the record books shows the success of the Green Wave s grid season. The doughty gridsters of M. S. J. copped the Marble Valley League crown for the first time in history. Being defeated in their five league contests, were such erstwhile aggressive opponents as Poultney, Hartford, Middlebury, Proctor, Fair Haven and West Rutland. The Acads were ranked along with Springfield as Vermont’s Number Two Schoolboy aggregation, winning six games, while suffering one reverse, that at the hands of the State Champion Rutland High School Club. The Green Wave rolled up a total of 116 points, to their opponents’ 20 points. Only two teams, Poultney and Rutland succeeded in crossing the Academy goal line. An impressive 27-7 triumph over the Poultney team started the season for the Baldwinites. The effective line plunging of “Speed” Oskoski, and the passing and running of Bob Terenzini paved the way for this initial Academy victory. Down went the prestige of the Mounties on the following Saturday, September 30, when the Red Raiders of Rutland High School invaded St. Peter’s Field. For the first half of this contest, it looked as though the Acads would overcome the jinx which has held them under the power of the Red- men for so long. However, the Raiders came back in the second half, and, aided by Academy misfortunes, scored two touchdowns and an extra point to pin a 13-0 setback on the Mount. After disposing of Hartford to the tunc of 20-0 on October 2, the Wave resumed its League competition on the following Saturday by migrating to Middlebury. A first-quarter spurt, which accounted for 20 Academy points, put this game on ice for the Mounties. The defensive play of the M. S. J. team was largely responsible for this triumph as the Academy foreward wall kept the Middmen beyond the 30 yard line throughout the game, and thus the Baldwinites chalked up another 20-0 victory. This marked the season’s halfway mark and the men from the Mount were now concentrating on the three remaining league rivals—Proctor, Fair Haven, and West Rutland. The Phantoms were met on October 16 and paced by the brilliant interceptions and running plays of Bob Terenzini, the Wave came through to an easy 24-0 conquest. Fair Haven was disposed of a week later, when the rampant Acads rallied in the third period to score thirteen points after being held scoreless for the first half. No scoring was done in any other period and the Acads held a 13-0 advantage at the final gun. An identical situation to that of the 1938 season was now in existence, for the Acads had disposed of all league opposition with the exception of West Rutland, whom they were scheduled to meet in the season’s final game. The “Battle of ’38“ resulted in an Academy defeat—a setback which cost them the league championship. The situation was reversed in '39, however, for, by virtue of a third quarter 70-yard drive, a conversion by Russo and a blocked punt by Startari in the last period, the Acads rolled up a 13-0 triumph over the West Siders. This triumph ended the undefeated league campaign for the 1939 Marble Valley League champions—Mount St. Joseph Academy. Green Wave Basketball by Louis Fucci and Joseph Pray M.S.J. OPP. M.S.J. OPP.

After two outstanding seasons with the parochial grammar school and one with the Freshman championship team, Chub became a member of the Varsity Squad in his Sophomore year. Due to sickness, and an operation he did not see much action in either his Sophomore or Junior year. In his Senior year however he led his team throughout the season, and he also took the individual high scoring honors. His 24 points in the Bellows Falls game established a league record for individual scoring in a single game. Although Chub played in but one game of the Southern Vermont Basketball Tournament his splendid performance won him a position on the second All-Tournament team. M. S. J. EDGES ST. MARY’S Displaying mid-season form, the Green Wave overcame a halftime seven point deficit, to edge out a strong St. Mary’s quintet from Glens Falls, 27-25. Leading 6-5 at the first quarter, St. Mary’s led by Capt. Brad Nolan went on to gain a comfortable lead of 18-11 at the halftime mark. This margin, however was not enjoyed for long, for in the 3rd quarter the fighting Acads came back to score 11 points to their opponents 3, and led at the end of this quarter 22-21. In the final stanza the battle was closely contested and Captain Pray tossed in the winning basket to give the Acads a 27-25 victory. Pray, Russo and Morris led the Baldwin attack, while Nolan and Toomey sparkled for St. Mary's. HARTFORD-34 M. S. J.-33 On February 6, the Academy five journeyed to White River Junction where they encountered the Flying Fascists, coached by Pop Hanley, who were leading the newly formed Southern League. The Midgets jumped to a slight lead and were on top at the quarter 12-9. The second period showed signs of a tight battle, as the Acads led at the half, 17-16. In the third quarter the Baldwinmcn rolled on to a 27-22 lead, but this was not quite enough to stop DcPalo and company, who went on to throw in 12 points, while holding the Acads to 6, and to win, 34-33. For Hartford DcPalo threw in 13 points; for the Acads Capt. Prav with 11, Russo with 10, were high scorers, aided by some good passing from Fucci and Daley. RESUME OF SEASON IN THE LEAGUE Competition in the league was officially inaugurated January 5. The Mounties' opening game was at Springfield where they encountered the Cosmopolitans of the Machinctown. In this game, Springfield jumped to an early lead, which they never relinquished although the Acads, with the aid of some sharp shooting by Russo, succeeded in tying the game 33-33 at the end of the regular playing time. In the overtime, however, Marchand drew a foul which he made to win the game 34-33. The second contest was with Hartford on the Armory surface. The Acads gained an early lead, which they kept up to the half. The Midgets came back stiong in the final half to win, 34-28. The Green Wave next faced the Rutland Red Raiders on the lattcrs' court. In this game Rutland displayed an excellent brand of basketball to take the Mounties, 37-28. M. S. J.’s fourth and fifth league games were played with West Rutland. The Academy boys showed plenty cf scoring power, as they were victorious in both encounters, taking the first game at West Rutland. 30-26, and winning the second game on their nomc court, 45-33. Rutland succeeded in winning their second game with the Green Wave 40 32 on the Armory court. In their first encounter with Bellows Falls the Baldwinites came through with a 44-27 victory. The second battle with the boys from Bellows Falls was a much closer fought battle, but the Acads again won to the tune of 31-25. The final two league games saw the Green Wave bow in defeat to the Hartford Flying Fascists 34-33, but emerge victors over Springfield 29-27. GUARD—LOUIS FUCCI Louis Fucci, star guard of the Academy five for the last two years, was first brought to the attentior, of sports loving fans in this area during his freshman year. He was the center on the championship freshman outfit, and more than once his offensive ability Drought victory to his team. In his sophomore year, Gig” was moved back to the guard spot. Although he did not sec too much action during that year, he was to apply this experience in his last two years on the court. During his years on the varsity Gig was never known to be sucked in, and when the Acads fast break was on the loose it was the calm, self'possessed Gig who dropped back in case of a slip up, or a bad pass from one of the forecourt men. M. S. J. LOSES CITY TITLE SEASON’S STATISTICS BENNINGTON-28 M. S. J.-26 For the first time in three years the Rutland Red Raiders succeeded in taking both games from the Baldwin- ites. In the first game held at the Rutland High School Gymnasium the Raiders played airtight defense to defeat the Green Wave 37-28. The Mounties were unable to stop the fine passing and sharpshooting of Pete Bovc, Rutland's right forward, who scored 13 points. For the Academy Captain Pray bore the brunt of the attack. The first half was a closely fought battle, but in the third quarter Rutland piled up a 30-18 lead, which the Mounties fought desperately to overcome. The second game of the City Series was played before a capacity crowd at the Rutland Armory. Once again it was the disastrous third quarter that licked the Acads. At the half- time mark the game was tied 18-18; then in the next period two quick baskets by Crowley, and one by Bovc, put Rutland out in front and at the end of the third quarter the score read 37-25 in favor of Rutland. In the final stanza the Acads fought desperately, but ended up on the short end of a 40-32 score. The M. S. J. 1939-40 basketball squad inaugurated the season with an overwhelming victory over St. Michael's of Brattlcboro 56-20. After taking over the Alumni, the Wave treked to Burlington where they encountered Cathed- ral. The Indians came through with a 35-21 victory. The Baldwinitcs next edged out St. Mary's High from Glens Falls, 27-25. Next came the three game losing streak of the season, which also opened the new Southern League for the Acads. An overt.me victory by Spring- field gave the Academy their first setback, and then defeats by Hartford and Rutland. The Acads came back with two victories over West Rutland High. The following game at Bellows Falls showed Captain Pray at his best. In this game Chub scored 24 points for a league record. The outcome was M. S. J. 44, Bellows Falls 27. The Acads were then edged out by the Hartford Midgets 34 33. In their last two scheduled games the Wave came through, defeating Springfield 29-27, and Bellows Falls 31-25. Having won a berth in the Southern Vermont Basketball Tournament the Academy was matched against Bennington. The Cata- mounts won 28-26. Then came the playoffs for a chance to enter the State Tournament at Burlington. M. S. J. took both games, defeating St. lohnsbury 49-25, and Newport 28-23. The final game for the Acads against Burlington was the opening game of the State Tournament. The Green Wave bowed in defeat, 37-25. Up from the South came the snarling Cats of Ben-Hi to tangle with the Green Wave from the Academy in the second round of the Rotary Tourna- ment. This was the game in which the Acads failed to score in the second period and Bennington in the fourth. In this contest, too, 26 fouls were called—19 against Bennington, and 7 against Mt. St. Joseph. For the first half luck was in favor of the boys from the South and at half-time they had a lead of 23-8, due to the excellent shooting and passing of Kearns and Levin. In the third frame the Baldwinmcn rallied, and paced bv Capt. Chub Pray brought the count up to 28-19. During this period Levin and Keams, high scoring forwards, and Salem, stellar guard, were ejected from the game, via the foul route. The final period saw the Acads run the count to 28-26, but time put an end to their chances, and the game ended with Bennington ahead 28-26. For Bennington, Levin and Kearns did the brunt of the scoring, throwing in 12 and 10 points respectively; for the Acads, Pray with 12 points, and Daley with 8, were high scorers. FORWARD—JOHN BIRD Although Chick was not a regular this season, his name is not new in loop circles. After three years’ experi- ence on the Junior High team, he became a member of the Freshman Squad. In his remaining years of High School Chick played with the Varsity Squad. His ability to pull a game out of the fire was well Known to all. John’s eagerness and determination to win is a forceful example to all Academy athletes. OUR MANAGER Last, but not least, we commend the work of our manager, Andy Musclla. The entire squad together with the coaches wish to acknowledge their appreciation of his untiring labors for the welfare of the team. Scald: Assistant Coach Moore.

The intcrclass games were unusually exciting and aroused much enthusiasm on the part of the spectators. Louise Gallo and Jeanette Bartlett proved themselves outstanding in their excellent pass'work as forwards, and “Phil” Valente, Theresa O’Shea and Dorothy Heath were impenetrable and vigilant guards. Three of the senior girls’ team were members of the M. S. J. cheerleading squad, and did excellent work in helping the boys on to victory. Those who served in that capacity are: Frances Capeless, Florence Daly, and Joan Hitzel. M. S. J. CHEER SONG Cheer! oh, cheer! oh, cheer! M. S. J. Cheer! oh, cheer! for vict’ry today.

JOHN BIRD Firjl Riw: Cafc.lt Baldwin, Terenzini, Sapinski, Bird, Captain, Pacca, Pratico, Ballou, Assistant Conch Moore Second Rom� : Bartlett, Float, Oskoski, Smith, Walker Third Rou: McGinnis, Hackett, Margo, Ragosta Fourth Row: Stuart, Gauri, Manager, Healt Contrary to all pre-season expectations, Coach Al Baldwin had a difficult task in building the 1940 Mount St. Joseph baseball team. Due to the many misfortunes which befell the squad before the season opened, Mr. Baldwin found it necessary to press many second stringers into action. The Mounties began their season with Hank Smith as their moundsman, as both Terenzini and Bartlett were forced to the sidelines because of appendicitis. Bartlett managed to join the crew later in the season, but at present Terenzini is still out of the line-up. With veterans Mich Oskoski behind the plate, Capt. Chick Bird on second base, Zig Sapinski at short, Pat Pratico at third and Slugger Pacca and Funzie Flory in the outer garden, the M. S. J. mentor patched up the rest of the team with newcomers. Freshman Kenny Walker is capably handling first base duty, and sophomore Charlie McGinnis that of right field. Cootie Hackett and Bob Ballou are on the active substitute list. This lineup comprises the present M. S. J. 1940 baseball team, which had promised to be an all veteran team. For the first time in history, the Mounties opened their season against the Rutland High School Raiders. The Rcdmcn put up a five-run spurt in the first frame and a six run barrage in the third, which enabled them to coast to a 12-8 victory over the Mounties. Hank Smith worked on the Academy mound against Graham and Musetti, Raider hurlers. In the Marble Valley League opener, the Green Wave, behind twirler Hank Smith, clouted its way to a 19-9 triumph over Fair Haven. Continuing their march, the Baldwinitcs victimized the Brandon High School Nine on May 7, by pounding out a lop-sided 15-1 victory over the northern club. It was in this battle that “Ace” Bartlett made his 1940 debut by limiting the Brandonites to three hits. On May 9, the Baldwin brigade overran the 1939 league champions, Middlebury high school, and in this fray Hank Smith enjoyed a field day, holding his opponents to six nits. Paced by Sapinski and Pacca, the Acads rung up a 14-3 decision over the Middmen. At last the law of averages caught up with the rampant Acads, for they were tripped in their drive by the Black River Academy troop. The Green Wave were held to 4 runs in that contest, and the Presidents tapped Smith and Bartlett for eight hits to score a 7-4 win over M. S. J. As the Mount goes to press, the Academy Nine have a .750 average in the Marble Valley League, and it is evident that they will have much to say about the League Championship. v.
