Class Col or.s: Red White and Bi.ue Class Mol It� : “Live Pure, Speak True. Right Wrong’ Class Mouvr: Red Rose Edit or i ir Chief Virginia Foster Business Manager Charlotte Rutkowski Assisiant Editor William Lovett Assistant Manager Richard Fagan Presenting THE MOUNT 1 944 Foreword In compiling the 1944 edition of the Mount, it is the hope of the staff that the members of the senior class, in particular, will find it a source of inspiration and joy. Whether they are enjoying the blessing of living in our dear America, or are scattered to the four winds in her defense, we trust that this account of our efforts and accomplishments at the Mount will be as a ray of sunshine, when the road of life becomes dark and difficult. The Class of 1944 is typical of all graduating classes throughout America today, in that it has been depleted because of members who have answered our country’s call. At this time, when the blessings of democracy are at stake, the valor and patriotism of these recruits shines through the clouds of war as a light of hope. To Mount Saint Joseph representatives in the armed forces, and to all members of the service, we proudly and humbly dedicate the 1944 Mount. I His Excn i.i-ncy, Tin Most Reverend Matthew F. Brady. D.D. Bisiiop oi Bum incton N As we recall the many privileges and advantages that have been ours during our high school years at the Academy, foremost among them is the happy associations that we have had with our priests, who have become a part of our daily life at the Mount. Wc arc grateful to Father Connor, Father Gelineau, Father Demasi and Father Carrigan, not only for the spiritual benefits that they have imparted to us in the teaching of Religion, but also for their kindness and generosity in giving their time and efforts for providing recreation for us through the Catholic Youth Orga- nization program. Father Carrigan Father Connor To the Class of 1944— Yours is the privilege, as well as the responsibility, of living in an age when mediocrity as Catholics, and as Americans, will not suffice. Your Church and your country will demand more from you than from any graduating class before you. May the spirit of Mount Saint Joseph Academy inspire you through the years with the noblest that is Catholic, with the best that is American. Father Thomas Connor Memories and a Prayer As we close this last chapter in our “Book of Life” at Mount Saint Joseph, we express loving thanks for the happy days spent at the Academy. To Mother Columba, who has ever been zealous for our welfare and progress, to our Principal, Sister M. Annunciata, and to our Sister teachers, who have never stopped to “count the cost in their lives of sacrifice for us, we pledge our loyalty. We also extend sincere appreciation to Miss Leland, Mr. Branon, and Mr. Candon for their kindly assistance and interest in each one of us.

William Lovgrr President’s Address We can hardly realize that we are assembled here this evening to present Our Class Night Exercises. When we entered Mt. St. Joseph as freshmen four years ago, graduation seemed a long way off—an event that would occur in the distant future. Each year brought us new joys, happy associations with teachers and classmates, together with added responsibilities in order to reach our goal. Many changes have occurred within the past few years that affect not only the world at large, but in an especial manner the scholastic life of the average high school student of today. During these unsettled days of war, boys who would otherwise be looking forward to continuing their education in colleges and universities are compelled to yield their plans to another demand—the protection of their country against those who are seeking a worldwide dictatorship. Our class has already felt the effects of such conditions in the loss of four of its members to the armed forces—Edward Carroll, Theodore Roussil, Raymond Spoon and Francis Trudell. For several others, graduation will be followed almost immediately by admission into the service of our beloved country, while many, too, will be engaged in essential war industries on the home front. Wherever we may be called in our life’s work, we shall always cherish dearly all the ties that made life at the Mount so pleasant and profitable. The friendships that we have made, as well as the spiritual and scholastic advantages that have been ours in attending a Catholic high school, will ever keep the Academy close to our hearts. To you, dear parents, to our beloved priests, to our kind Sisters and teachers, we are indebted for the opportunity of enjoying all that the Mount has given us in the past four years. We are glad to have you with us tonight, because we know that you are interested even unto the end in all that we have accomplished. You have always been our inspiration and guides. May this kindly interest follow us through life, so that we may always have the courage to live up to our motto, which bids us, “Live pure, speak true, right wrong.” John Charles Anzalone Academic Class Night, Usher 3; Class Basketball 1. 2, 3, 4; Freshman Reception 4; Holy Name Society 1,2, 3, 4; Boys’ State 3; Athletic Association 1, 2, 3. 4, Glee Chorus 1,2, 3, 4; Mission Crusade 1, 2. 3, 4; Homeroom Council 4; Senior Play; Senior Dance Committee; Retreat 1, 2, 3. 4; Bazaar 4; Mount Board.

Class Song Words and Music: Jean Nichols Farewell to you, dear classmates, Tis the parting of our ways; The hours we’ve spent together, We ll remember all our days; Dear teachers, kind and helpful, We bid a fond adieu; The ideals of our goal in life, Have been inspired by you. Farewell, dear Mount Saint Joseph, And farewell to days of yore; Though storm's dark clouds are o’er us, May vour teachings keep us true; That heaven’s peace once more may reign, God’s blessings to bestow On sea and shore of our dear land, Is the prayer of Forty-Four.

Such were our thoughts as we entered the Academy as seniors in September, 1943. How quickly the days have passed into months, and now our happiest year at M. S. J. is at an end! School began with the usual ceremony of the consecration of our studies and activities to Our Lady of Victory, at which the faculty and student body were present. Soon after the opening of school we chose class officers: William Lovett, president; Marie Slattery, vice-president; Virginia Foster, secretary; and William Medlin, treasurer. The senior council included John Anzalone, Margaret O’Connell, Mary Costello, Clementine Valentv, Mary Ragosta, Florence Falco, Sarah Cotrupi and Francis Tripodi. In October we enjoyed a three day retreat conducted by Father Foley of the Jesuit Order ol Boston. On the evening of October 8, the freshmen were guests of the seniors at a reception held at St. Peter’s Hall. Ihe following officers were elected to conduct Athletic Association activities for the year: president, Raymond Spoon; vice-president, Virginia Foster; secretary, Sarah Cotrupi; and treasurer, William Medlin. Work was now begun on the Clarion,” our school paper with William Lovett and Mary Costello as Co-Editors-in-Chief, and Betty Creed, Business Manager, and on the Mount our yearbook, with Virginia Foster and William Lovett, Co-Editors and Charlotte Rutkowski and Richard Fagan, business managers. The editorial and business boards of both publications are to be commended for the success of their efforts. We completed a successful football season under the direction of Coach Branon. Raymond Spoon was Captain, and Francis Trudell and Robert Flynn, managers of the football squad. Class History (continued) November 22, 23, 24, the Academy sponsored a bazaar at the Armory under the student chairmanship of our president, William Lovett, who was assisted by committees chosen from each class. For the benefit of our year- book, we held a series of dances during the year and a Christmas dance, December 29. Several seniors participated in dramatics. Those who took part in a series of one act plays were Helen McGee, Margaret Batease, Gladys Bolgioni, Margaret O’Connell, Elizabeth Creed, Mary Costello, Thomas Ballard, and Robert Flynn. For the first time in the history of the Academy, we won the Southern Vermont Basketball Tournament. Our team took part in the state contest in Burlington and in the New England Catholic Tournament in Boston. Raymond Spoon and William Lovett were chosen for the Southern Vermont All Tournament Five, and Raymond Spoon was named in the New England Catholic All Tournament Five. March 27 we presented our Senior Play, “The Home Front,” before a large and appreciative audience. The cast was composed of Thomas Ballard, Jean Nichols, Robert Flynn, Richard Fagan, Clementine Valenty, Elizabeth Creed, Jeanne Benincasa, Mary Fucci, Catherine Marotti, John Anzalone, Gladys Bolgioni, and Sarah Cotrupi. The annual procession in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary, was held May first. Marie Slattery was chosen to crown the statute of Our Blessed Mother, and Florence Falco and Irene Socinski presented bouquets of flowers in the name of the senior class. Graduates of the music department entertained their parents and friends at a concert given May 28. Wednesday evening May 31, we enjoyed our Senior Ball, the first of our commencement activities. The first three days of June we had the great pleasure of enjoying a senior retreat given by Father Francis Gleason of the Jesuit Order of Boston. Our Class Night exercises this evening have a personal message for each one of us. All too soon our happy days at Mount Saint Joseph have come to an end. On Friday, June 9, we will receive our diplomas at our commence- ment exercises in the Armory. It is with feelings of sadness and regret that we leave our Alma Mater of which we shall always cherish loving memories.

Editorial Board In producing this edition of the Mount, we have encountered the usual obstacles attendant upon war-time restrictions in their various phases. How- ever, despite these difficulties, we have been very optimistic in our antici- pations of the pleasure that our efforts will bring, at least, to the Class of 1944. Sustained and encouraged by the helpful interest of our faculty adviser, Sister Mary Jerome, we present our 1944 annual. Virginia Foster, Editor-itrChicf Business Board Were it not for the advertisers, who have cooperated so generously in giving us financial aid in compiling the Mount, it would be impossible for us to have an Academy yearbook. This generosity on the part of our friends, coupled with the efforts of an enthusiastic Business Board has helped to make our publication a successful venture.

At the 1944 event, as in former years, each class was in charge of a booth supervised by a committee chosen by the respective group. The seniors sponsored the candy and fancy work booths under the super' vision of the committee pictured above. Parents and friends of the students rendered generous cooperation in helping in many ways to make the bazaar a big success. William Lovett was student chairman of the affair. St. John Berchman’s Society Many of the boys of Mount Saint Joseph who are now in service consider themselves highly honored, when an opportunity is afforded them of serving their Chaplains at Holy Mass, or at Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament. They, as well as the altar boys who arc “keeping the homefront, mention 3his privilege with expressions of reverent enthusiasm, and with gratitude for the training for service at the altar given them by Sister M.

Meetings are held every month, during which socials follow the business meeting and discussions. Chairman of the various committees are: Eucharistic Committee, Dolores LaFrance; Our Lady’s Committee, Gladys Bolgioni; Social Committee, Sarah Cotrupi. Mission Crusade Mount Saint Joseph students, realizing the blessings that are theirs, as Catholic young men and women, are anxious that others share these benefits with them. Hence, the progress and welfare of home and foreign missions has always been of deep interest to each pupil at the Academy. In addition to the spiritual aid they render to the support of missionaries, who are spreading the Kingdom of Christ in all parts of the earth, financial help is also given generously. The 1944 Mission Crusade Unit was in charge of Thomas Ballard, John Roderer, Marie Mondella and Sheila McLaughlin. First Rw: Sheila McLaughlin. Marie Mondella SlVmJ Row: Thomas Ballard.

This organization has made it possible for our Athletic teams to be more fully equipped than those of the average high school. The officers of this society have done much to keep up the interest of the student body by means of pep rallies held before the more important games. The 1944 Association was in charge of: President, Raymond Spoon; Vice' President, Virginia Foster; Secretary, Sarah Cotrupi; and Treasurer, William Medlin. PresiJent, Raymond Spoon; Vice-President.

With Gladys Bolgioni, drum major, and Doreen Burke, assistant drum major, the band has made an excellent showing at civic affairs both in Rutland and nearby towns. In addition to playing at football and basketball games, our band, ably directed by Sister M.

Socinski St. Joseph Our yearbook would not be complete without a tribute to St. Joseph, the Patron of our school, to whom every pupil at the Academy has a particular devotion. Each day of our last year at the Mount we have offered a special prayer to St. Joseph for all who are in service and, in particular, for Mount Saint Joseph boys and girls. “O God, we beseech Thee, through the intercession of St. Joseph, to watch over our boys and girls who are exposed to the horrors of war and to the spiritual dangers of a soldier’s, a sailor’s or an airman’s life. Give them such a strong faith that no human respect may ever lead them to deny it, or fear to practice it. Do Thou by Thy grace, fortify them against the contagion of bad example, that, being preserved from vice, and serving Thee faithfully, they may be ready to meet death whenever it may happen, through Christ Our Lord.

The Green Wave received this support in their various contests during the year. Under the leadership of Jean Nichols '44, the Mount cheerleaders, Margaret O’Rourke, Josephine Altobell, Dolores LaFrance, Patricia Battles, Margaret Carroll, Joan Valenty and Marilyn LaFrance, ably roused the Academy cheerers to a lively pitch, as they urged the boys on to victory, or raised their hopes when defeat seemed in the offing.

Varsity Football Playing one of the toughest schedules in the football history of the school, the 1943 Green Wave came through with the fine record of five wins, one tie, and two defeats. Much credit must be given to Mr. Branon who, without an assistant coach, developed, for the greater part, a green and inexperienced group of boys into a smooth and well-balanced machine. The team was fortunate in having the leadership of Captain Raymond Spoon, who fulfilled his duties in a fighting and exemplary manner, and the cooperation of other unsung heroes, who made the season such a success. An outstanding feature of this year's season was that four games—Montpelier, St. Mary’s, Springfield and West Rutland were won within the last two minutes of playing time. Another notable event, which will go down in Academy football history, was the contest in which the team outplayed a highly favored Rutland High team, which pushed over a touchdown in the last quarter to end in a dead- lock, six to six. Much of the 43 talent was composed of sophomores, who will be back to form another successful Academy football team in ’44. Francis Trudem. Robert Fi.t.vn Co'Managers Football Schedule Date Opp. M.

Varsity Basketball Fans and friends of Mount Saint Joseph Athletic teams were surprised, somewhat, when this year’s basketball team, with only one veteran, Captain Raymond Spoon, came through a very successful season, winning twenty, while losing only six games. In the Southern Vermont League the team ended in a hrst-place tic with Rutland, winning twelve and losing only two games while in the Southern Vermont Tournament, they blasted away all epposition to walk oft with top honors. The Mounties participated in the State Finals at Burlington the following week, but fell at the hands of a well-balanced Montpelier quintet. This same combination of Lovett, Pokrvwka, Spoon, Bolin and Welch, supple- mented by the reserve duties of Hackett, Keith, Flory, Dunn and Valente, went on to the New England Datholic Tournament in Boston, but came out on the short end of a 28-23 score against St. John’s of Worcester, which team went on to win the tournament for the third consecutive year. During the past season the Mounties rolled up a total of 1,031 points to their opponents 684, averaging 40 points a game to their opponents 26. Several honors were bestowed on various members of the team. Captain Raymond Spoon and Edward Welch were named on the All Southern League Team, while in the Southern Vermont Tournament, William Lovet: and “Babe” Spoon received recognition on the All Tournament Team. Besides this honor “Babe” was noted as most valuable player in the A Division of the Southern Vermont Tournament and gained a position on the New England Catholic All Tournament Team.

Coach Branon began the season with much green, and young material, with only three veterans returning. “Bob” Hackett, Quido Notte and “Lou” Pokrywka. Only one senior gained a berth on the M. S. J. nine. “Jim” Keith, a clever first baseman, who packs a lot of punch at the plate. Paschal Polcaro, a freshman, takes care of the keystone sack, with “Bob” Hackett, a junior, on his right at shortstop. “Bill” Flory and “Jackie” Brown have been alter- nating at the hot corner. In the outer garden we have “Jack” Kelley, in left field, with Quido Notte, a sophomore, patrolling center field. “Bob” Frasier, a first year man, Frank Cioffi, also a freshman, and “Bernie” Keefe, a junior, alternate in right field. “Stan” Kantorski, a frosh, handles the catching assignment while the mound corps is composed of “Lou” Pokrywka, “Warnie” Bolin, and “W'alt” Gallipeau, all juniors. ‘Tap Ron M Carmody, D.

Baseball (continued) The Academy squad got oft with a good start by defeating Proctor 11 to 0, but a few days later lost to Fair Haven 4-6. The boys then bounced back into the win column in a close game with Poultney, which they won 5 to 2, but lost a heartbreaker to Rutland 3 to 4, and were handed an 8 to I defeat at the hands of a strong St. Mary’s of Glens Falls outfit. Three successive wins over West Rutland 5 to 1, Proctor 16 to 1 and Fair Haven 3 to 1, brought the Academy’s record to 5 wins against 3 defeats. Much credit should be given “Lou’’ Pokrywka, who pitched a no-hit game against West Rutland, and to “Bob” Hackett, and Quido Notte ,who are the leading batters in the league, holding first and second place, respectively. Thus, as the season rolls on, the Acads are now holding second place in the Southern Vermont Scholastic Twilight League. Baseball Schedule M. S.
