Mount Saint Joseph Academy - Mount Yearbook (Rutland, VT)

Text from Pages 1 - 84 of the 1951 volume:

Four swiftly passing years have brought the Class of 1951 to the great crossroads --Graduation. Each year marked a milestone on a road filled with classes, retreats, social ac- tivities and many many friends. Travelling on the theme, For God and Country we passed our final, our Senior Year. Now, stepping from the well-paved road of high school onto the various paths of life, the volume of knowledge and practical experience gained at the Academy will accompany us. The 1951 Annual is presented with the hope that web of memories woven through the years will tie Mt. St. Joseph's in our hearts forever. Published by the Senior Class of 1951 .MT. ST.

Between its covers, THE MOUNT has tried to cap- ture the big moments, the dear friends, the spirit of this, the Class of 1951. Of course each classmate has his or her own memory book etched in the heart, with the little jokes, proudest mo- ment and most embarrassing moment, the joys and fears of the day, and many many incidents impossible for typewriter, glue and scissors to capture. The co-operation of a splendid staff and the capable guid- ance of Sister Mary Barbara, have blended together to make possible this Annual. If, in the years to come, you can look back and get some moments of happiness from its pictures and events, our goal will have been attained.

Wount BUSINESS MANAGER'S NOTE The Business Board of the 1951 MOUNT having successfully completed one of the biggest drives for the support of the Annual, wishes to express gratitude, in the name of the Faculty and the individual members of the board, to the Business Men and Women of the city and surrounding area for the generosity and splendid co-operation they have manifested. This spirit has made it pos- sible for us to finance the book. We ask you, MOUNT readers and members of the student body, to remember this support given us and to patronize the places of business advertised in the yearbook. Ernest J. Tesconi, Business Manager.

Patty. t)edica tion The Class of '51 dedicates this 12th edition of the MOUNT to the Mothers and Fathers Club of Mount St. Joseph Academy. This Club represents our parents who have made possible our Catholic Education, and promoted the welfare of the student body. From our toddling days, our mothers and fathers have guided, taught and provided for our multiple needs. On the organized basis of the Club they are still working for our benefit and super- vising our social life. We appreciate your loving interest, Mothers and Fathers, and to you we render our heartfelt thanks. Sharing In The Victory Of Their Athletic Sons BuL Although the Academy does not see too much of Bishop Ryan since he is so intensely occupied with his episcopal responsibilities, his powerful influence is manifest at M.S. J. A splendid speaker, powerful thinker, and zealous apostle of Christ, the Bishop exerts his jurisdiction over the diocese with remarkable facility. Our His Excellency E MOST REVEREND EDWARD F. RYAN, D. D. Bishop of Burlington, Vermont erintendent This school year marked the elevation of our School Superintendent to the Monsignori. The diocese of Burlington is honored by your eleva- tion to this dignity, said His Excellency, Bishop Ryan to Monsignor Crowley at the Investiture, Sunday, November 12, 1950, in St. Peter's Church, Rutland. The Bishop congratulated our Superintendent on the zeal he has evinced during the years he has served the Vermont cause of Education. His ex- cellency also stressed the valuable contribution the Monsignor has made not only to his own state, but through his writings and lectures, to the na- tion. MONSIGNOR WILLIAM A. CROWLEY Diocesan School Superintendent (Our f utfand f- aitorA If you have ever stealthily crept into early Mass each morning, if you have hid- den behind the garage door during a morn- ing's space, if you peered into the shadows surrounding the confessional box, if you peeked into the parlor where long hours were passed in generously giving encouragement, advice, and sympathy, if ail your spying could besummedupon the word, unselfishness, you would not have to search far for the per- sons possessing such selflessness in God's service--we present the Rutland Pastors.

Lynch, Principal Sister Mary Annunciata, Assistant Principal Teachers: Sister of St. Joseph Lay Teachers: Miss Jean Smith Mr. Edward L. Casey Mr. Walter Moore Mr. Robert Rounds TO THE FACULTY: To the Faculty, who have followed us patiently through our four years at the Mount; to the Tcach- e rs who have made this Catholic Education pos- sible, we now attempt to express our gratitude. But words can never begin to tell what your zeal- ous training has accomplished. To prepare us for our long climb on the lad- der of LIFE with a good sound rung of knowledge has been the constant aim of your untiring efforts. Throughout our lives, the results of your la- bors, in the guise of success, accomplishments, happiness and strength of character, will ever remind us of the debt of thanks we owe you. Our Principal, Reverend John A. Lynch And Members of the Lay Facuity Mr. Moore Mr. Rounds Mr. Casey Seated: Miss Smith God Bless you and yours on this graduation day God bless you every day-- the carefree days of youth, the faithful days of mature service, the long days of declining years. But God Bless you most on the day of your eternal commencement when the purpose of this life will have been achieved and heaven, yours. Father John A.

Within a few days we shall have reached that goal towards which we have been striving for four long, yet seemingly short years. We must now enter upon the greater field of life which lies stretched before us; we must renounce our high school privileges and pleasures only to hold them with the firm grasp of our memories and assume those greater burdens which beset us as we go out, as Apostles, to change the world. Our equipment is good, our armor strong, so let us meet our worldly foes with Christian prudence and fortitude. Itbehooves us to step cautiously as we cross the threshold and emerge up- on the dazzling sunlight and whirl of the busy world. Think not that all is sun- shine nQr that fame will wait upon our bidding. Remember that Success lies within ourselves. We have been educated by the delegates of Christ from whom words of en- couragement and advice have always been available in solving our problems. Only now we begin to realize the privilege that has been ours as the result of many sacrifices and the sincere friendship we have formed with our Priests, Sisters, Lay teachers and Athletic Coaches. Our Catholic education through them has become a priceless heritage. In conclusion, I salute the Class of 1951 which has achieved much, and with God's help will make itself worthy in future years of Mt. St, Joseph Acad- emy. ANTHONY WILLIAM ALTOBELL T.

It seems not so long ago that we entered the Academy. The first three years seems to be buried in oblivion with the exception that outstanding was the achievement of Mary Mul- quecn winning the Brotherhood Essay Contest in her junior year. So That our accomplishments might not be overlooked nor underestimated, we present an account of the senior year. i n ROBERT PATRICK CANNEY Cambi His ways are ways of easiness.

May, tlse month of our Blessed Motiter, brings the annual May Procession which is so dear to every Mountie. Mary Carol Westcot crowns Our Lady, University Exams prove to be an important incidental.

The Senior Class of Mount Saint Joseph in the city and county of Rutland and State of Vermont being of sound mind and memory do make, publish, and declare this our last Will and Testament, hereby making void and revoking all former Wills by us at any time here-to-fore made in manner following, this is to say: Knowing that we are about to leave M.S.J. and feeling that our school days could have been better we wish to acknowledge our thanks to the entire Faculty for all they have done, and to accept our apologies for the thoughtlessness and heedlessness which we have known. EDDIE LLOYD wills his report card to the faculty. They may never see another one like it. JOE O'ROURKE leaves before Father Lynch can change his mind. ERNIE TESCONI wills his position at the Paramount to some- body who likes movies. JOE TILDEN gives a box of Pep to the monitors in order to keep them wide awake at their posts. JACK HURLEY wills his Englishbook to the Chinese. He hopes that they can get more out of it than he did. JOE HEALY leaves for Korea to settle the War problem. Says Joe, Who can get an 'A' in history when they change the map every morning. JIM SLATTERY wills a box of bird seed to Bunny O'Rourke. Jim thinks that by next year Bunny will be able to .warble with Mario Lanza. GLORIA DELL VENERI and ROSALIE FARINO leave still won- dering where their carrots are in their class rings. JOE VALIQUETTE donates a pair of shoes to the Red Cross to be used in case of flood. Dick Knight will supply the oars. PETE CROWLEY leaves a pair of false teeth to the first per- son who dares to eat any of Barbara Carr's cookies. POOCH LEVINS and LORRAINE PELCHAT donate a gallon of ether to Hank Coladonato to lessen the pains of taking exams. BOBBY STEWART and JEAN WEST leave, still wondering how they ever memorized all those lines for the Senior Play. NANCE LEFRANCOIS wills her swimming ability to the foot- ball team for use on rainy days. MARY CAROL WESTCOT leaves a box of her homemade cook- ies to the U.S. She thinks that they can use some more ammunition. JACK LEFRANCOIS wills his wavy hair to George Soulia trust- ing that George will appreciate the generous donation. STANLEY JAKUBOWISKI, MARY MAZZARIELLO and CAR- MEN FLORESVILLAR leave their names to be used in fu- ture Spelling Bees. 20 i WaL a DAVE CREED leaves to rustle cattle. LUCY RAGOSTA leaves her bangs to Tom Levins to be used 4th of July. EUNICE NICHOLS leaves, trying to make an honest dime. HOOKEY NORTON and BOB CANNEY will their seats in deten- tion to some lucky Juniors. TONY ALTOBELL leaves Miss Smith with this q u e s t i o n , Where does a match go when it goes out?

MARY RETA JOYCE leaves trying to get the last word with her echo. BERTIE COLE leaves her favorite hims to some church choir. BRUCE RANNEY leaves his baritone to anyone who wants to start a small revolution. SAMMY RIZZIERE leaves his line at Foleys. WILMA DEL BIANCO and MAR Y MULQUEEN leave their scho- lastic ability to some aspiring juniors who want to get their pictures in the Clarion. The football and basketball teams leave a bottle of brown dye to Mr. Casey for all the gray hairs that were added the past seasons. JERRY VALENTE leaves, thankful that his father never learned how to drive. ALICIA BATTLES very willingly donates her chemistry book to the Boy Scouts. It seems they are looking for fuel for fire on that next trip they're making. TOM LOVETT wills his excess height to Bob J. Carroll, hop- ing that Bob will grow up. NANCY CREED and JOAN REARDON will their fiery red hair and di s po s i ti ons to no-one. They feel these items have caused enough trouble. RAYMOND CARROLL donates his books to the Academy. He figures he'll get a new supply from Uncle Sam. JACK LANZILLO leaves for the life of adventure. JOAN MINARD leaves her outstanding cheering ability as co- captain of the squad to Marylynn Carroll.

As we fasten our belts for the takeoff, we begin to wonder what all our classmates have been doing since graduation. Then, as the airliner soars into s p a c e , the glittering stars are so c 1 o s e we can actually make out the images in them of our classmates. Here's what they revealed to us. The McCarthy Twins, Aileen and Kath- leen, are models. They are keeping people guessing as to which twin has the TONI. Ernie Chugchug Zambon, profession- al football star, is envoying mail for na- tionwide fan clubs under the leadership of Barbara Carr, Elizabeth Duffy and Pat Martel. Jean West, Alicia Battles and Nancy Creed, a top dancing trio have just returned to New York from Europe where they thrilled audiences with their spectacular routines. Bert Patry leads his own orchestra, The Sweet Potato Tooters ; the theme song-- I Dream of Jeannie With the Light Brown Hair. Carnegie Hall, New York City, has just opened its doors to the largest audience of its history--to welcome Joyce Preedom, in her professional piano debut. Jerry Valente is the crooner of the age; hear him on the Hit Parade. Dolores DeForge boasts the Nobel Prize for her latest novel: How To Take Life Easy In Ten Easy Lessons. (She almost gave it up, once.) Pete Crowley, now national golf champ, is chief golf instructor at Vassar College. The mounting enthusiasm over the sport causes us to wonder if it is really golf or Pete that is the attraction. Always an ear for news, Jean Bove fi- nally made the staff of the New York Daily News. She writes the famous column Who's Who! Well, here's somebody who benefited from that Monitor exercise. Here's Pat Mangan superintendent of policewomen in New York City. Nicely settled in their hometowns of Castleton and Brandon, respectively, Emily Woodbury and Marie Lillian Quesnel keep their townships before the public by editing colums in the Rutland Herald telling all the interesting events that happen in a person's life such as: births, marriages, deaths, etc. Carmen Floresvillar, popular always as a dancer, has the elite patrons of the Copa Cabana eating out of her hands. Richard Knight, manager of the Club ad- vises that tables are well ordered for the next six months. Joe Healy, Singing Governor of Ver- 25 mont still has the idea that--social leg- islature means all students should be well supplied with candy and the like during the school day. He is ably seconded by his private secretary, Ellen Grace. Gloria Dell Veneri now owns her own bakery which guarantees hospitalization with every purchase. Betty Jean Lee, owner of several thor- oughbred horses, boasts her fifth win of the Kentucky Derby; her horse was ridden by the famous jockey, Stanley Jacobowski. At last there's no-one can resist the Pcp-so-dent toothpaste advertisements; why? The firm finally signed up Mary Reta Joyce and her famous smile. Joyce McCarvell and Joyce Moulton, still inseparable, and just taking life easy. Itseems that ten years isn't too long a time to take recuperating from a strenuous sen- ior year. Cecilia Loyzeile now has her own radio program e ntitled Cecilia Faces Life. Betty Cyr is her understudy, while Theresa Bachand is the announcer. Nance Lefrancois, famous Conover Model, still finds time to contribute her monthly article on cur rent fashions to Ma- demoiselle. Mary Jane Nolan is c a p t i v a t i n g the hearts of her little pupils by her dramatic story presentations. At present all are en- joying the Adventures of The Three Little Bears. Although very busy with a housewife's duties. Rose Lafond is still charming so- ciety with her sweetness. At the present time she is New England's candidate in the Mrs. America's Contest. Television's The Jazz Beat Jamboree stars our own Jean Hutchins; and guess what? There's CarolSanders as a featured clarinet player--she got her start with the M. S. J. Band. And who's that other perform- er I see? None other, indeed, but the great comedian, Diane Orlowska. I think that's Joe Tilden I see smiling at me. Yes, Joe nas won nationwide recog- nitionfor his sportswriting. He especially enjoys his current assignment--covering the famous All American Redheads' Bas- ketball Team. Edna O'Byrn, the school nurse at Bran- don high school, claims Gloria Bullock, of the faculty, a chemistry teacher, is her number one patient. Gloria's scientific ex- plorations are at the bottom of it. Spike Jones' Orchestra is tops again. Leave it to him to get someone who can help his style. All hail! Rosalie Farino at the Piano. Clifford Brothers, (they carry you off to a peaceful place), is turning away trade since glamour boy, Tony Cotrupi took over as chauffeur position on the motor hearse. Betty Bride and Rita Fitzgerald, after startling the city of Washington with their antics on roller skates have started a trans- continental tour as co-captains of the roller skating derby team--the Turtle-Ites. Hollywood has something to make a big noise about since Ann Eddy has swept the 26 ) country with her acting. She's the pin-up sweetheart of the day. Peter Miner is spending most of his col- lege days trying to keep track of his class ring; ithasa habit of finding its way on dif- ferent dainty fingers. The twins, Enerica and Charlotte Cali- guire, have their own School of Physical Education in Burlington; all graduates are assured of a permanent position in any one of the Homes For the Aged in Vermont over which Mary Ricker and Mary Mazzariello have general supervision. It takes Bill Johnson some time to get started but when he does, he does a fine job; for instance here he is in England doing por- traits of the Royal Family; oh! yes, I un- derstand that Mary Carroll and Marie Crouch got him the job. They have secre- tarial positions in the English Embassy. You simply have to hand it to David Creed. He could always use a hammer and what not! This time he succeeded in build- ing a collapsible winged airplane in which he soars from Pittsford to Rutland with the greatest of ease. He's taking a good look at the American Profile while he flies. Ann Cilo has finally succeeded in com- posing her own version to the song, Charlie My Boy. The Problem is whatdoes Charlie think. Joe Valiquette has turned Sun Valley into the world's skiing resort. He especial- ly instructs prospective Pros. His latest is Barbara Stewart. Valentine Blickarz is now the proud own- er of the Green Hornet a combination of an early 20th century Ford and a jazzed up hot-rod, which has passed on from one broth- er to another until it reached Val. Yes it's happened! June Carabeau has given up her snazzy blue coupe to become a member of the Yellow Cab Taxi Drivers. As a history teacher in the University of Alabama, Mary Mulqueen is interrupting the usual peace of the Campus by insisting that the North won the Civil War. Marion Davison won the post as Danby Town representative to Congress; she's now- filibustering on the flooron the House inMont- pelier, demanding the repeal of Governor Joe Healy's law allowing children to eat candy in school. And here's Bob Creed, who always want- ed to be an architect, vainly attempting to remove excess weight from his own struc- ture. Ernest Tesconi, erstwhile Presidentof this and that, has moved up the ladder in ten years--he's now boss of Radio City Music Hall with Roberta Cole as his private secre- tary. He drops around once in a while to see Joan Minard and Joan Reardon who are now with the Rockettes. JohnZingali, Peter Falco and Duke McGin- nis are a famous singing trio now in their second year of stardom at the famous Bard- well Grill. 27 Arthur Murray's advertisements carry the picture of Lucy Ragosta gracefully danc- ing in the arms of the great Arthur himself. The Carroll Brothers, George and Ray- mond are presently playing pro-basketball with the Boston Celtics. TonyAltobell and T. V. have about hit it right. Tony is now the star salesman for Cahee's Furniture Store. Bob Dolphin is the No. One diplomat of the country; he's now a Big League Umpire, scheduled for the next World Series. Sport Magazine picked up Bill Nugent as a model soon after he finished his military training. The story is that Bill turned down the chance to star in the Movies. Nice shape, Bill. Joe 0'R.ourke, Hooky Norton and Jack Lefrancois, better known as Snap, Crackle, and Pop, are confronted with weighty prob- lems; they are local junk dealers. Bob Vignoe is presently coaching at Holy Cross. The Veterans Hospital in White River sends out word that no more veterans can be admitted, and the waiting list is filled for a year. Mary Carol Westcot's arrival as head nurse started a boom. Sammy Rizziere is successfully promot- ing a chain of spaghetti houses--and is he tied up in his work! It's come to pass at last! Paul Perfetti has become a Marble tycoon ; his interest in Proctor deepened with the years. Janet Hagan is the first woman to appear on the Bentley Accounting School faculty. But then, she always had a leaning towards this profession. Zonk Lanzillo has been named as a guard on the All County Football Team. Bill Hurley has gained national renown at the Indianapolis Speedway where he gases up the racing cars. Bob Shoro is a special agent with the F. B. I. Zoology is rather uncommon to most stu- dents, but Eunice N i c h o 1 s and Alice St.- George have enrolled some thousand students in the course since they started teaching the subject at U. V. M. A1 Barbagallo, the baseball wizard, has just signed up with thfe Albany Overshoe League; A1 is sure to get them buckling. Bob Canney, No. 1 comedian of the Na- tion is soon to report in Hollywood to play opposite Toto Vitagliano in The Return of the Thin Man. Tommy Lovett has applied for a position as Basketball coach at Smith College. With Tom's technique the girls are sure to win. Jack Hurley and Eddie Lloyd are the boys who have made international headlines re- cently; just imagine those two mining coal in Alaska. Now that all our classmates are account- ed for we are preparing to fasten our safety belts for the landing which will take us to the Mount where we will join in the Reunion of the Class of 1951.

Mary Nolan Peter Crowley Aileen McCarthy Anthony Altobell . . Jean West Ellen Grace Barbara Stewart . Bruce Ranney Ernest Tesconi Paul Perfetti Thomas Lovett Robert Canney STORY OF THE PLAY Victoria Van Bret rules her family with a maniac's firmness. Her sister, Caroline is helpless before her. Her half-brother Rip cannot stand up against her. In a dark room that has not been c h a ng e d since her father died, Victoria goes through her cheerless rou- tine with cruel regularity. She is more cruel than ever now, just because Rip is marrying a young lady who is not of his social station, and Victoria senses a threat to the integrity of the Van Bret fortune. How Victoria tor- tures the bride with studied austerity, and fi- nally tries to murder her is the malevolent burden of the play. 36 n. iaue your autoc rap lij pie ease GlcuUan Vol. XVIII Mount St. Joseph t r-J 'ermont Rizziere,Slatteryand Karbari Peg Rw0- uiations I , ueon i Drur in Roon accon craiji -A The Vrrinn� in :■ X.t.

The truth of this proverb was emphasized by the 1950 edition of the M.S. J. football team. This eleven was on the spot as it was the defend- ing state champions. Coach Casey had a ma- jor rebuilding job on his hands but he had a good supply of reserve material to work with. The Green Wave opened the campaign by whipping Granville, 26 to 0. The Mountie forward wall stood out on defense holding the Empire State crew to twenty-one yards gained on the ground. Offensively Ernie Zambon, Hank Coladonato, and Pat Levins were stand- outs. M.S.J. played a game of fumbles with Bellows Falls September 30. However, the Mounties had enough to trim the Falls forces 21 to 0. Ernie Zambon, recovered from an earlier injury led the offensive show. A favored Green Wave invaded Barre on October 7 in quest of win number three. The Mounties failed to come through and lost 19 to 13. A game M.S.J. squad came from behind to beat Bennington 18 to 14. Ben-Hi held a one-touchdown lead until the final stanza when the Big Green scored twice. Zonk Lanzillo recovered a Bennington fumble to set up the winning score. The Acads were rolling in high gear as they returned to St. Peter's Field to play host to Springfield. Mount St. Joseph showed off their forward wall as they shoved the Cosmos all over the gridiron and won 27 to 14. Hapless Cathedral of Burlington was vic- tim number five of the Mount to the tune of 34 to 9. The Acad line had a field day as the Northerners were continually stopped on the ground. The game of the year was played at Brat- tleboro. An underdog Green Wave outplayed the Brattleboro gang for three quarters. In the final period the Colonel quarterback, Pete Faradoni directed the downstater's attack to the Green eleven yard line where Ted Rhodes scored. When the whistle sounded the Mount- ies were on the short end of a 7 to 0 score. The Red Raiders of Rutland hit through the air in the third quarter and upset a favored Mount Saint Joseph team 6 to 0. The Mounties were not able to reach the Raider goal Ihw and Rutland had won back the city champion- ship. The Mounties, co-captained by Ernie Zambon and Bill Nugent, finished the year with an overall record of five wins against three setbacks. Zambon, Nugent and Al Bar- bagallo were selected for All-State honors. Zambon was also selected for a berth on the All American Catholic prep football team. 76 FRONT ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: Bob Vignoc, Frank Bizzaro, Tom Carrigan, Joe Bizarro, Phil Thayer, Bob Romano.

M. S. J. was anything but gracious and clubbed the Mike- men 49 to 21. Hank Coladonato paced the Academy attack while Lovett and Levins lent helping hands. Mount St. Joseph returned to the Rutland Armory and were hosts to West Rutland. In an airtight contest featuring a top brand of basketball and short tempers the Westsiders won out 43 to 42. A rebounding Bennington team caught the Mounties on the chin and won going away 47 to 42. The Mounties gave Ben-Hi a nip and tuck battle in the first three periods but fell off in the final quarter. MountSt. Joseph moved on to Springfield and returned to Rutland with their third con- secutive defeat. A warmed up Springfield M. S.

Mount Saint Joseph had to go all out to win a return engagement with the Cathedral in Burlington. The size of the court and their first look at glass b a c k b o a r d s definitely bothered the Acads but the charges of Ed Casey had enough to hold on and escape with a close 38 to 36 verdict in favor of the South- erners. The Green Wave tasted defeat for the first time when a surprisingly strong Bellows Free Academy of St. Albans ran away from the Wave 46 to 39. Mount St. Joseph re-entered the winning column with an explosion by whipping the Alumni 36 to 19. Every man on the Mountie benchgota workout as the Grads offered lit- tle opposition. Curtis High School of Staten Island, in- vaded Vermont and left with the Wave scalp under its belt. Curtis took the sluggish game 31 to 28. The lead exchanged hands through- out the contest but Curtis held on and won. Thus the Acads moved into the Southern Ver- mont League with a record of three wins against two setbacks. 78 Rutland High School were the victims of an improved Academy and were unable to show the class that the Redmen were supposed to have. The Mounties led throughout, and were winners by a 41 to 30 score. The Saints suffered a letdown against Bellows Falls and won a dull game 41 to 31. Mentor Casey let every man see action as the slumped Acads were still too much for the Falls forces. It was West Rutland again and this time WestSide played over the Mountie heads to win41to34. Mount St. Joseph led early in the first period but were unable to maintain such a fast pace. When the sad fate was over Frank Hinchey's lads had done it again. M. S. J. returned to form and played hosts to the new league-leaders Bennington. Mount St. Joseph held the lead for three stanzas but the Cats came from behind to squeeze out a 46 to 45 victory. The Acads regained their winning form at the expense of Springfield's Cosmos. Pat Levin returned to the line-up but Tom Love 11 was out with the flu. The Acads walked over the Birskymen 55 to 36. M. S. J. had an easy time with a slumped Brattleboro team. The Bratts were unable to match the mighty Mounties and never were able to take the lead; M.S.J. wrapped it up 48 to 31. Rutland HighSchool surprised the Saints and walked over the Acads 35 to 28. The big Green was unable to solve the Raider de- fense and were popping-from the outside all evening. M.S.J. took a free scoring 64 to 52 de- cision from Bellows Falls. Mount St. Jo- seph's led throughout as Coladonato scored 24 points to pace the Mounties. The Acads closed the year by routing St. Michael's of Brattleboro 59 to 32. In an unimpressive contest Coach Casey gave his lads a good fast workout. Every one got in on the scoring show as the Saints closed the regular campaign. 79 Coach Rounds and his boys. Captained by Bob Carroll, the unbeaten squad consisted of Carroll, JoeBizarro, RonRichards, Jack Eaton, Joe Muscatcllo, Red Burke, John Blaise, Dick Manley, Bob Gillam, Tom Carrigan, Mike Decker, Harold Burke, Joe Levins, John Scott, Paul Gallo, Charles (Chick) O’Rourke and Larry Stewart.
