E2BUISU Wc pledge allegiance To God, our King, To Mary, our Queen, Patroness of our country, To our flag, the Red, White an.l Blue, To America, our native land.” Foreword Although the prospects For peace are becoming brighter we are still living in a topsy-turvy world. Under present conditions many of our plans and hopes For the future have been altered or abandoned. The purpose oF this sixth edition of the Mount is to en- courage, inspire, and cheer the members of the Class of 1945, in the days to come, as they review their achievements, and lecall the ideals cherished during the past four years at Mount Saint Joseph. “These are the heroines, Who, like Mary, Stand beneath the Cross With aching brow and heart, yet Hopeful, brave, resigned, E’en unto the worst! Dedication Under the patronage of the sweet Queen of Peace, and of Saint Joseph. Patron of Youth, we reverently dedicate the 1945 edition of the Mount to the mothers of the boys and iris in service, and to all our dear parents. May she who first brought true Peace into the world, and He who is called the Just, bring comfort to them in their sorrow and a Just Peace to a world which has abandoned it. 4 With the hands of her little Son, may the Queen of Mothers bless in a special manner the parents of the boys who have made the supreme sacrifice.

M. S.

J. 2. M. S. J., though the skies may be gray, Thoughts of you will brighten life’s journey, As we recall mcm’ries dear, M. S.

St. Joseph, our school we ll always cherish; So we pledge our hearts to you tonight, As we bid fond farewell, M. S. J. Class History When we were underclassmen we envied the Seniors the dignity and prestige that is traditionally attributed to them. Four years seemed a long time to wait for so-called senior privileges. Alas! We little dreamed how quickly those years would pass. We can hardly realize that the events of our senior year, our happiest year at the Mount, have come to an end, and are recorded in the annals of our Class History. Our class began its history last June when the following seniors took part in Bovs’ State, held at Norwich University: Leonard Courcelle, John Welch. Joseph Pomponio, Martin Carmody and Bernard Keefe. Girls who represented Mt. St Joseph at Girls’ State held in Montpelier are: Jean Smith, Regina Valentv, Alice McLellan, Dolores LaFrancc, and Margaret O Rourke. Joseph Pomponio was elected Senator. Margaret O'Rourke was chosen Attorney-General. In keeping with the annual custom at Mount Saint Joseph, at the beginning ol the school year our studies and activities were dedicated to Our Blessed Mother at a ceremony in honor of Our Lady of Victory in which all students took part. Early in the fall we chose our class officers: Leonard Courcelle, President; Joseph Quinlan, Treasurer; Anne Anoe, Vice President: and Regina Valenty, Secretary. Members elected to the Senior Student Council were Bernard Keefe. Katherine l.oso, Oscar Watterlund, Dolores LaFrance, Marv Duprey, Pauline Cilo, Robert Napolitano, Francis Johnson, Jean Smith, Patricia Flynn, Edward Clifford, and Warren Bolin. In September the annual student retreat, conducted by the Rev. Paul R Power of the New England |esuit Mission Band, was enjoyed by the entire student body. I he Senior Class entertained the Freshmen at a reception in the school gym October 30. Shortly after the opening of school, work was begun on the “Clarion,” our student publication. Martha Norton was named Editor-in-Chief, with Richard Crowley as Business Manager. Joseph Quinlan was chosen Editor- in-Chief of the “Mount, our yearbook, and Charles Reardon was appointed Manager of the Business Board. The Academy Football Squad completed one of its most successful seasons under the capable direction of Coach Branon. Leonard Courcelle and |osenh Lee were Co-Captains of the team, and Walter Galipeau was manager A much applauded Minstrel Show, “Let’s Sing Again,” was presented bv the boys of M. S. J. November 21, 22, 23. Joseph Quinlan did a fine job as Interlocutor. Edward Clifford, Robert Hackett, Roy Rotella, |oscph Costello, Edward Welch, and Gene Roussil added much to the enjovment with their performances as endmen This yearbook was digitized by volunteers from the Class History (CoulimiirJ) A group o( Seniors displayed rlieir dramatic abilities in excellent per- formances of a three-act comedy, “College Daze which was presented Feb- ruary 5, at St. Peter’s Hall. The cast included Charles Reardon, Marcus Carr, Barbara Vitagliano, Edward Clifford, Joseph Formato, Marv Murphy Jean Smith, Patricia Flynn, Marion Clifford. Ruth Thompson, Ricliard West, and Joseph Pomponio. The Green Wave, captained bv Louis Pokrywka. climaxed the 1945 basketball season by capturing the Southern Vermont championship. Warren Bolin, Louis Pokrywka and Edward Welch were named for the All-Tourna- ment Five, and Warren Bolin received the additional honor of being chosen as the player most valuable to his team. At the opening of the baseball season Robert Hackett was chosen captain, and Martin Carmotfy, Manager. I he baseball squad enjoyed a very successful season, particularly in League Competition. 1 lie annual procession in honor of the Blessed Virgin Marv was held in May. Mary Murphy, president of the Sodality, crowned the statue of Our Blessed Mother in the chapel. She was attended by four senior girls- Mary Marotti, Mary Hamilton, Mary Wallett, and Mary Burke. Anne Haddad, Pauline Cilo and Dolores LaFrance presented bouquets of flowers on behalf of the three Senior rooms. Sunday, May 6. we were guests of the Mt. St. Joseph Alumnae at their May Breakfast. Five senior girls, Jean Smith, Patricia Flynn, Ruth Thompson, Jean Battles and Winnifred Clark, graduates of the Mt. St. Joseph Music Depart- ment entertained at a concert given at the Academy May 28. Under the direc- tion of Rev. Richard Hegarty, S.J., we made our senior retreat May 28, 29. 30. Monday evening, June 4 we enjoyed the Senior Ball, one of the highlights of Commencement week. Early in the second semester Leonard Courcelle, our class president, and John Welch were called into service, and within the past month the names of Aldo Manfredi and James Dunn have been added to the Service Honor Roll of the Class of 1945. We miss these boys tonight, and we regret that they will not be with us for graduation. On this occasion of our Class Night Exercises, we can not help but feel a note of sadness at leaving the Mount, where we had so many pleasant asso- ciations with our priests, teachers, and fellow students. Friday evening we will hold our Commencement Exercises at the Armory, with His Excellency the Most Reverend Edward F. Ryan, D.D. presiding. We realize that our school days at Mt. St. Joseph are over, but the memory of our happy years at the Academy will be treasured always. Martha Nor ion, Rutland Historical Society and the Rutland Free Library. Historian Class Prophecy It was the year 1957. I had attended the Commencement Exercises of Mt. St. Joseph Academy. On returning home, I retired to rest early, but for some reason I found it hard to get to sleep. At last, however, I yielded to the spirit of “Drowsy Land,” and before long a gentle voice seemed to whirper in my ear, “Dream Child, I bring you great joy. Speak not a word. Look toward the east.” In an instant in a colorful review mv classmates passed before me, and the spirit of Dreamland told me about each one of them.

Boys’ Choir In November a boys’ choir was organized at the Mount, and under the direction of Father Murray has practiced weekly during the school year. The choristers have sung parts of the Sunday Mass at St. Peter's Church, and together with the chancel choir have taken part in the Christmas, Holy Week, and Easter services. In unison with boys representing Sacred Heart of Mary and Christ the King parishes, the St. Peter’s Boys’ Choir rendered the Propers of the Litur- gical Mass sung at Christ the King Church, Sunday, May 27, by all the paro- chial school children ol Rutland. Senior boys who arc members of the choir are: Richard Crowley, Robert Roach, Edward Clifford, Bernard Keefe, Joseph Pomponio, Charles Reardon, and Joseph Formato. May Day Procession Minstrel For the benefit of school activities at the Mount, a Minstrel Show, “Let’s Sing Again.’’ was presented by the Academy bovs in the afternoon and evening of November 21 and 22 at St. Peter’s Hall, and Thanksgiving evening at Rutland High School Auditorium A banter of comedy was exchanged between the able interlocutor, Joseph Quinlan, and the six hilarious end-men, Edward Welch, Robert Hackett, Roy Rotella, Edward Clifford, Gene Roussil and Joseph Costello. Capacity crowds applauded each performance. Comic, folk, and love songs were rendered bv soloists, who were sup- ported by a chorus of boys’ voices, with Raymond Flanagan ’38 accompanist. The faculty and student body arc grateful to Mr. Paul Bresnehan of Proctor, who directed the very successful show, and to Father Murray and Mr. George Fousignant for their assistance. Junior Sodality At a meeting of the Junior Sodality held in September the following officers were chosen: Mary Murphy, President; Marion Clifford, Vice- President; Mary Falco, Treasurer; Patricia Joyce, Secretary. This spiritual organization, under the direction of Sister Mary Francis, held meetings each month and sponsored socials and plays as a recreational feature.

Socials and dances sponsored by the boys were enjoyed bv the members of the society and their friends. St. John Berchmans’ Society Every altar boy can recall the joy he experienced on serving at Mass for the first time. As he grew older he realized the dignity and reverence that is entailed in assisting the priest at the Holy Sacrifice. Several of the senior boys have been altar boys during high school years, and have not only served at Mass and Benediction, but also at Holy Hour, Holy Week Services, and other special ceremonies of the church. Under the direction of Sister M. Imelda and Sister M. St. Michael, the boys have been trained in the conducting and meaning of these liturgical services. S(itu i Raymond Walsh, Henry Carroll.

The excellent training he has given our teams as well as his ability to impart to us the rules of true sportsmanship has been evident in our athletic contests. As a teacher and friend, as well as coach, he has endeared himself to us by his understanding and tactful manner in his associations with us. Lettermen 1944-1945 FOOTBALL Leonard Courcei.le.

Gudi Bramm Football The 1944 Football season at the Mount was bevond doubt one of the best in the history ol Academy football. During the season’s play the Mounties, under mentor Branon. compiled a total of 1 30 points against 39 for their oppon- ents, while chalking up five victories, losing one game and playing to even terms in three games. Two Academy ballplayers received special honor by being chosen on the All State Team. James Dunn, a senior guard, and William Flory in the backlield, because of their consistently good play earned this title. The Aca- demy students have their own special mention for all players, and in particular for the senior players. The loss of Co-Captains, Joe Lee and Len Courcellc as well as James Dunn, John Welch, Robert Hackett, and Joseph Formato, due to graduation will leave many many holes to be filled next year. Besides the loss of these boys Coach Branon will be without the services of Gene Roussil and Stanley Kantorski, underclassmen, who left to join the armed forces. This yearbook was digitized by volunteers from the FOOTBALL (continued) In the opening game of the season the untried Acads journeyed to St. Alhans where they defeated St. Mary 8-0. I he only Academy touchdown came in the fourth period on a short buck by Bill Flory Later in the game John Mooney, Acad tackle, blocked a punt into the end zone which was recovered by Dunn and Mooney to add a safety to the Acad score. Despite the fact that it was the Mounties first ball game they showed the fight and determination that carried throughout the season. I he following week the Green Wave battled to even terms with Mont- pelier High School 6-6. Ihe game was hard fought to the finish, as the Acads stopped dead the Solons offensive and put themselves into position to score on numerous occasions but could manage to score only once on a punt from Hackett to Florv in the second period. I he Academy line deserved credit in this game as they did all season for their stubborn defense. Taking advantage of every break the Branonmen notched their second victory of the campaign as they upset a strong Spaulding High team 18-7. It was the Academy line that again showed as they held the northerners score- less until the reserves took over in the last period. The Acad touchdowns all came on spectacular plays, as Flory returned a Crimson punt 87 yards for the initial score, and later scored his second touchdown of the game on a pass from Hackett The last Mountie touchdown came as a result of an intercepted pass by Gene Roussil who dashed 40 yards to pay dirt. The only defeat suffered b the Acads came at the hands of Bellows Falls, who went on to cop the state title. Put to a disadvantage by an early Bellows Falls score the Mounties fought their way back into the game on a touchdown pass from Hackett to Flory It was not the Academy’s day however as Bellows Falls drove to their second touchdown early in the third period to spell defeat for the Mount. Rebounding from the above setback, the Green Wave trounced a Windsor eleven 32-0. Playing in a downpour of rain the Acads started fast on a quick touchdown by Flory and then failed to score again until the last half on two touchdowns bv Bob Hackett and single scores by Flory and Hurley. The best defensive game played by the Branonmen for the season resulted in a 0-0 game with Springfield. Playing with their backs to the wall for three quarters, the Acads, refused to budge. The M. S. J. linemen in general and Jim Dunn in particular were conspicuous in the see-saw contest. Although it was a defensive game throughout, the Mountie backs opened up with a drive in the final quarter only to be stopped short of the marker. A week later the Mounties gained their fourth victory by crushing an outclassed West Rutland team 27-6. It was the first defeat suffered by the Rutland Historical Society and the Rutland Free Library. FOOTBALL (continued) West Siders, who scored first to go out in front 6-0. From there the Branon- men turned on the heat, smothering West Rutland with four touchdowns, two of them by Miglorie and one each by West and Flory. Continuing on their parade the Green Wave trounced Poultney to the tune of 33-7. Leaving no doubt of the outcome the Mounties swept into the commanding lead of 19-0 at the half and picked up two more in the final period. The only Poultney score came in the fourth quarter on the return of a kickoff. In the annual contest with their friendly rivals, the Mounties once again battled the Redmen to even terms. It was the second time in a row that the city championship game ended in a scoreless tie. Looked upon with a slightly better than even chance of victory the Acads ran up against the expected tough opposition, the result being one of the best played games of the season. With both teams playing a very good defensive game the result of the contest rested on the breaks of the game alone, but again the results were even. The final whistle left the Acads forced to be content with an even series for the second year. Co-Captains of the 1945-1946 squad are Bill Flory and Dick West.

Their seasonal record of 16 wins, as against 11 defeats was climaxed by their winning the Southern Vermont Tourney. Pre-season hopes were high at the Academy, due to the return of five lettermen. Coach Branon had four experienced ball players in Capt. Lou Pokrywka, Warnie Bolin, Eddie Welch and Bob Hackett, around whom to build his ball team, as well as three of last year’s Jayvees, Dick Mangan, Bill Flory, and Bernie Hurley, and a newcomer to the ranks, Art Shapiro. The Mounties had difficulty in hitting their stride at the start of the season dropping 7 of their first 10 games. Losing to a strong Alumni team by the close score of 32-29, the Branonmen rebounded to stop Bellows Free Academy 43-35, and appeared to be headed for a successful season. However, hard luck seemed to dog the team which resulted in their losing in succession to Cathedral, Burlington, and to Curtis High of Staten Island. The Wave opened the Southern Vermont League with a victory 30-25 over a good Windsor five, dropped one to Springfield, in which the Mounties cut a large Springfield lead to three points in the final period, and then fell behind again to lose 36-28. The Acads then reached a new low as they dropped into seventh place, as a result of a 36-21 defeat at the hands of Rut- land. The Branonmen played their hearts out for three periods only to fall apart completely in the final game being outscored 1 3-4. Rutlnnirf Hiatnric.cn. Society and the. Hull and h'rcc I,in raw M. S. J. won double victories over Hartford and Brattleboro, proceeded to win the crucial game against West Rutland 38-33, which might well be called the turning point of the season, and went on to defeat Rutland 52-34. In the Rutland game the Mounties swept out in front 24'14 at the half, and increased their lead behind the sharpshooting of Bolin and Pokrvwka to 36-20 at the third uuarter. It was the Acads' night and they made use of it. The Green Wave had now won six of their last seven starts, losing only to Bellows Falls 28-17. At this point in the league with Springfield, Rutland, Mt. St. Joseph, and Bellows Falls battling for top honors, the Branonmen journeyed to Spring- field and lost what was a heartbreaking decision 29-28. Rallying, however, the Acads administered a decisive defeat to West Rutland, and in one of the best games of the season came up the hard way to defeat Bellows Falls in an overtime period 42-40. With ten seconds remaining in the contest, Dick Mangan split the cords from midcourt to knot the count at 38 all, and in the extra period Warnie Bolin took over, settling the issue in the last six seconds with one of his specialties. Hie Mounties were now halted by Windsor, 40-27, as a result of ragged play and the absence of Ed Welch at guard. This loss forced the Green Wave into a playoff in order to gain entrance into the Southern Vermont Tournament. Leaping that hurdle with an avenging 30-23 victory the Mounties gained the right to meet Bellows Falls in the semi-finals. Seeming to gain strength, the Academy fought down to the final whistle emerging as victor over Bellows Falls, 41-38 and went on to capture the cup with a thrilling 36-27 victory over their arch-rivals Rutland in the finds The Mounties started fast to leap l,� i f 1) n into a 19-9 lead at half-time behind their excellent teamwork and shooting. At the end of the third quarter the Mounties hopes nearly fell as Bolin and Welch left the game via the foul route, and Rutland brought the count up to 29-27. The Acad reserves, Mangan and Hurley played veteran ball, and once again pulled away to win, 36-27. The Mounties as a result of their victory participated in the State Finals at Burlington only to fall before a well balanced Spaulding High team 36-22. Five Senior boys took an active part in the year’s heavy schedule: Capt. Lou Pokrywka, Warnie Bolin, Eddie Welch, Bob Hackett and Artie Shapiro. Ihree Juniors, Dick Mangan, Bill Flory and Bernie Hurley, as well as Pascal Polcaro, a sophomore, and Alfonsc Ciofh. a freshman, rounded out the roster. Capt. Pokrywka, Warren Bolin, and Ed Welch, as a result of their play in the tournament, received special award by being picked on the All-Tourna- ment Team. Bolin also because of his outstanding ability as a point-getter was chosen as the most valuable player to his team in the tourney. The offensive power of Bolin and Pokrywka balanced by the good team play of Hackett, Welch, Flory, and reserves Shapiro, Mangan, and Hurley was con- spicuous in the Acads tourney victory. At the close of the season Dick Mangan was elected as captain of next year’s basketball five. SCHEDULE M.S.J.

Baseball The return of nine lettermen made bright prospects for a successful season in baseball. Coach Branon has one of the best battery crews of the state in veteran pitchers Lou Pokrvwka, Warren Bohn, and Walt Gallipeau, and in Quido Notte transferred from centerfield to carry on the largest share of the catching. The Acad infield is equally strong and is built around Captain Robert Hackett at shortstop, and Porky Polcaro, diminutive sophomore letterman, at third base. Two newcomers to the nine, Bernard Hurley, a junior, and Mickey Kelley, a freshman, earned positions at first and second bases, respectively, to round out capably the infield. This vpnrhnnh inns r!iftiti7pH hv nnhmtppvs frnm the The Mountie outfield, looked upon as the biggest question at the start of the season, is being ably filled by Bill Flory and Frankie Ciofli returning let termen, and Art Shapiro, another newcomer. Reserve strength at the Mount is abundant, due to the presence of infielders Jack Brown and lorn Alberico, outfielder Bernie Keefe, and catcher Mimi Caliguirc. Two Academy ballplayers, who will be sorely missed, are Stanley Kantorski and Bob Frazier, who left the Mount to serve in the armed forces. Due to the absence of Quido Nottc and Porky Polcaro, and early season nervousness, the Mountie nine fared poorly in their initial contest, losing to West Rutland 6 4. Lou Pokrvwka, starting hurlcr for the Acads, struck out 10 men in the six innings which he pitched, allowing only three hits, but the Mounties themselves could muster only four hits. West Rutland came through with two runs in the eighth and one in the ninth to overcome the Academy lead of 4'3. At the second meeting of the two clubs the Academy ballhawks made good use of their eight hits and five West Rutland errors to push across 10 runs to avenge the earlier defeat 10-4. Warren Bolin relieving Walt Galipeau in the sixth gained credit for the victory allowing only three hits over the remainder of the game. Despite an excellent 3-hit pitching performance by Warren Bolin, the Green W;ave dropped their second game to West Rutland 7-4. It was a serious letdown after the previous victory, but the Branonmen are confident that with the return of Notte and Polcaro the start of the Twilight league will find the Mounties batting for the honors.
