1952 Mount THE Foreword The final hell has rung. Our graduation has closed the curtain of a four year drama. Every advantage afforded by a Catholic education is ours. During our senior year our aim was “To live the life of an Apostle.” Combining our aims and education we are ready to go forth building for time and eternity. Through further study and sincere effort we. the class of 1952 will assume our places among the greater people of the world. The principles of our school and the watchful guidance of our teachers will influence us while continuing on this road of life. Presenting THE MOUNT 1952 MOUNT SAINT JOSEPH ACADEMY Volume 13 Catherine A. Barrett EJitor-iirCItief Philip J. Thayer Business Manager o Dedication We dedicate the 1952 Mount to Robert M. Bove our beloved classmate whose tragic death brought deep sorrow to our hearts. “Bob’ was one of the most popular and active members of our class.

The memories of our past four years have been bound into the 1952 edition oi “The Mount.” It is the wish of the editorial staff of this, the thirteenth volume of the yearbook, that we recall these memories in times of sorrow, trouble or joy; they will lighten our hearts and relieve our burdens. The Staff has looked forward to compiling this annual and under the guidance of Sister Mary Barbara has worked painstakingly to present it as the greatest accomplishment of our Senior year.

Without your splendid cooperation and financial aid the 1952 Yearbook would not have been possible. To the Class of 1952, “Thanks” for your outstanding cooperation and willingness in making “The Mount” a great success. Philip J. Thayer, Business Manager. His Excellency, The Most Reverend Edward F. Ryan, D D. Bishop of Berlington Right Rkvirknd Wiu.iam A. Crowlly Diocesan School Superintendent Our Pastors of Rutland Our Pastors have guided us through eight years of grammar school. It was with this same loving kindness they followed us through high school. We take this opportunity to express our gratitude to them. Right Reverend Monsicxok John M. Kinnedy Reverend Rom rt F. Joyce Reverend Ah ri d L. Desmtiels Our Principal Reverbnd John A. Lynch TO THE CLASS OF 1952 You will not lack advice as you step forth on your separate ways. Some would attempt to frighten you; others to encourage you. All will wish the best to you, yet all would imply that in the end it is up to you. Parents and teachers have been a help to you thus far, but their help will be greatly dimin- ished once you have graduated. You have, however, in your class motto a guiding light that will remain as long as you make the effort to remember it. Therein, you will find a practical rule to direct your choice in every circum- stance. To be moving always is not important, it is rather necessary to make certain that when one moves, one moves in the right direction. My prayer for you as you depart is the prayer that future years will ever find you moving “Always Onward Towards Our God.’’ May the blessing of Almighty God, Son and Holy Ghost descend upon you and remain forever. Father Lynch. The Faculty Reverend John A. Lynch, Principal Sister Mary Annunciata, Assistant Principal Teachers: Sisters of Saint Joseph Lay Teachers: Miss Jean Smith Miss Mary Canney Mr. James McLaughlin Mr. Walter Moore Mr. Robert Rounds To the faculty, who have patiently guided our course through our four years at “The Mount” and to those who have made our Catholic education possible, we express our sincere gratitude. It has always been their constant aim to prepare us to travel the road of life. Through our journey along this road the fruits of your labors will be shown in our success, accomplishments and strength of character. This will always remind us of the debt of thanks we owe you.

President’s Address We are very happy to welcome you this evening to our Class Night Exercises and to know that your interest in us has been evidenced “even unto the end’’ of our high school days. For the past three years we have attended the exercises of preceding classes. Then our own graduation seemed too far off to demand any serious consideration. But the long expected moment has suddenly become a reality. We are preparing to take leave of all that we hold dear at the Mount and to embark on a voyage into a world of uncharted spaces where we must prove our mettle. During our four years at Mount Saint Joseph we have learned what to expect and we look forward with our ideals and a firm determination to emerge from our struggle victorious. This evening we possess mingled feelings of jov and regret. Naturally we are elated by the fact that we have successfully completed high school; but, we arc saddened at the thought of leaving the Mount. We will sorely miss the encouragement and advice that have been available to us in solving our problems; the untiring interest in our behalf as shown by our Reverend Principal, Father Lynch; the Reverend Sisters; and the lay members of the faculty. Yes, eventually we will have to face life. We will have to make deci- sions on our own. By these decisions made in accordance with the principles which we have been taught we will prove our gratitude to our parents whose sacrifices have made our Catholic education possible. In conclusion I wish to thank sincerely the members of the Class of ’52 for their fine spirit of co-operation; I wish each and every member all the success possible and the hope for a bright and prosperous future. Edward A. Kupic, Class President. Our Farewell As wc leave St. Joseph We leave memories dear; All our thoughts are turning To our passing years.

Not too serious, not too gay. She has a pleasing way. Class History Parents, friends, classmates, Lend us your ears: We come to tel! the story Of our hist four years. We came to the Mount as timid Freshmen. Our schedules puzzled us, but with the kind help of Father Fitzsimons, our principal, and our teachers, we began our new life as high school students. The Freshman Reception was soon upon us, and we were so unprepared! We ll always remember poor “Easy” Kearney sitting atop the piano, holding a candle! We came back to more serious realities with the advent of the Fatima Procession, an event which none of us will ever forget. Members of the class took part in the Minstrel programs, glee club activi- ties; and band for the four years of our stay at the Mount. Our first student retreat was a memorable event, with Father Raymond of the Franciscan Order as Retreat Master. Impressed by our upperclassmen’s devotion to Mary in the May Procession, we endeavored to imitate them during our next three years. We, Freshmen, soon gained positions on the “Clarion.” Shirley O’Neill captured the Sports department and did a marvellous and enviable job for the next three years. During the summer of 1949, our beloved principal, Father Fitzsimons, was replaced by Father Lynch, who soon won our hearts. As Sophomores, we elected William Quinn as President. He represented us on the Student Council, one of the many new activities which Fatner Lynch was kind enough to help us organize. Frannie Burke was soon named Drum Majorette, a duty she performed zealously. In January, we had the honor of welcoming Eva Papincsak as a classmate and friend. She was later joined by another girl from Hungary, Kathleen Czihy. Two majorettes, Frannie Burke and Mary Clark, were named Co-Business Managers of the “Clarion.” They did a fine job. A jeweled event in February, the Bernadette of Lourdes Cantata, drew many Sophs. We find it impossible to list them all! The event was quite inspiring. We shall always remember the gay festivities when the New England Music Festival was held on May 19-20. M.S.J. had the honor of leading the second section of the parade. Our Sophomore year passed all too quickly, and vacation was soon upon us. We left the Mount wrapped in silence. We started our Junior year by choosing George Soulia to lead our class. Joe McDevitt, Peggy Ryan, and Robert J. Carroll were the other class officers. Soon came the four memorable days spent together in Retreat, with Father Mitchell, SSCC, as Retreat Master. In November, Frannie Burke was named Grid Queen for the two high schools. This was the year Catechetics was added to the curriculum with Sister Helena as instructor. Many Juniors turned out for it. December was basketball time again. Everything pointed to a successful season for the boys. Then came the inevitable—Mid-years. How we studied' And we were duly rewarded for out labors. On Februarv 19, the Glee Club put on a successful operetta, “The Prince of Killarney.” The fun had at rehearsals will live long in our memories March brought excitement, for it was tournament time. We lost a heart- breaking game to Springfield, but we were proud that Hank Coladonato was named to the All-Tournament team. April brought us news we were sorry to hear. Coach Eddie Casey had resigned after three years as head coach. We learned that James J. McLaughlin, a Purdue graduate, would replace him. Helene Harvey was named Editor-in-chief of the “Clarion,’’ and in this capacity represented us in New York at the Columbia Scholastic Press Con- ference. Others named to posts were Mary Jane Goodrich, Business Manager; Shirley O’Neill, Sports Editor; Catherine Barrett and Betty Chesley, Associate Editors; and Helene Betit, feature columnist. Early in May eight boys and five girls were chosen to represent our school at Boys’ and Girls’ States, respectively. Two of our group, Joan Lucas and Eddie Copps, were members of “Model Town.’’ Our Senior Year came much faster than any of us thought it could. Now we were the “mighty Seniors;’’ but somehow there wasn’t any difference. Elections were soon underway. After a strenuous campaign and speeches, the class elected Eddie Kupic, President; Norman Thibeault, Vice-President; Catherine Barrett, Secretary; Tom Levins, Treasurer. Anne Gouchoe was elected President of the Student Council. With Fall weather came football, and the boys hoped for a good season, with Joe McDevitt, Captain. Senior girls who helped cheer on these boys were Marilyn Carroll and Mary Mecier. This year the Mission Crusade., a religious activity, was reinstated at the Mount. Its purpose is to help missioners, both at home and abroad. In November, our Senior Year was saddened by the death of Robert Bove. Work on the “Mount” began when Catherine Barrett was named Editor- in-chief, and Phil Thayer, Business Manager. Other students assisted them on the Business and Editorial Boards. Our journalism department made the headlines again when Betty Chesley was chosen to represent our school on the Roto, The National School Paper. The girls of the Academy were given a chance to show their athletic abilities when a girls’ basketball team was formed. The Christmas season was commemorated by a Christmas Assembly, starring many Seniors, and members of the Glee and Dramatic Clubs. Alter vacation we had Mid-years, and then our annual Retreat. Reverend Eymard Galligan, SSE, was our Retreat Master. Basketball season brought much excitement. The team, captained by Hank Coladonato, did very well. Hank was named Captain of the All- Tourney team. In February, the Senior Class presented a three-act comedy, “Arsenic and Old Lace,” directed by Sister Imelda. It was considered by evervone to be the best Senior Play they had seen. And now, as we complete this history, we look forward expectantly to the Senior Retreat. The Senior Communion Breakfast and Graduation will take place on June 1 3. In closing this, our Class History, we wish to express thanks to Father Fitzsimons, Father Lynch, the Reverend Sisters, and the Lay Teachers who have made these happy memories possible.

A knock on my door roused me from my reverie. “Come in,” I called. “Let’s compare notes for a while,” suggested my house guest and classmate, Mary Joyce El key. “Anne Gouchoe is Head Advisor of the National Student Council Organization,” I began. “Yes,” answered Mary Joyce. “And did you know she flew from Cali- fornia with Dolores Hamilton who is a Flight Hostess for Pan American Air- ways? She told me John Carrigan won the world’s jet record and Anne Colomb has completed a solo flight around the world in a piper cub. She saw them a few weeks ago.” “Really!” I replied. “I was happy to learn that some of the 1952 M.S.J.’ers have returned to their Alma Mater. Mary Clark is the driver training instructor; Nancy Jerry, the school nurse; Betty Cheslev is the Modern History teacher. I think those square dancing classes Ann Gilligan has in the gym are a good idea, don't you?” “Yes,” confirmed Marv Joyce, “and Clyde Prior has convinced Father Lynch that the Mount should have an Auto Mechanics Class so the boys won’t have to walk up to R.H.S. Father put Clyde in charge of it.” “That was a good one on Clyde,” I laughed. “But there are other M.S.I.’ers back at the Mount. George Soulia and Peggy Ryan have made the Academy Band the best in the state. George is directing; Peggy is teaching the girls baton twirling.” “We’ve heard a lot about them in Burlington,” Mary Joyce declared. “Incidentally, how are you coming with your French classes?” “Oh dear! Sometimes I wonder how much of those simple fundamentals stick.” I sighed. “When Connie Coursey and I were having dinner at the Fairmont to celebrate her return from her European art tour we were talking about those famous French classes. Incidentally did you know Dianne Matt and Joan Pitaniello now own the Fairmont.” 1 KEY ON BABY PICTURES— (1) Helene Bent. (2) Catherine Barrett. (3) Eva Papincsak, (4) Mary Woods. (5) Frances Gawct.

Norman is playing a three week engagement at the Palladium in Los Angeles and Eileen is taking care of her husband in Indiana. You know, the football coach at Notre Dame, Mary Joyce said. That's wonderful1 1 exclaimed. But getting back to our teachers. Jerry Ragosta tells me that he has a potential Rembrandt in one of his art classes and Bunny O’Rourke has a junior Einstein in her Math class at St. Rose's College. Kate LaBelle is also teaching Math at Oneonta Teachers College. But I haven't heard from her in a long time and only had a few minutes with her at the reunion. There is still hope for Rutland as long as we have teachers who bring out our best. Too bad some of our teachers aren't on Eddy Copps’ University of Rutland faculty. Mary Ellen Coombs is his experienced secretary, Mary Joyce continued. Yes. Did you see Eddy Hadley, Dean of U.V.M., seated beside Eddy? I asked. He looked very distinguished, didn’t he? I’ll say so, Mary Joyce exclaimed. It’s surprising too, how many of the 1952 graduates have either made a great success in business or helped another of their ex-classmates to become successful . For instance—Tom Wilson has become President of the First National Bank in Fair Haven and Mary Pawlusiak takes care of all his correspondence. Barbara Ridlon is a receptionist for Dick LaVictoire, Director of the Rutland Railroad, while Marv O’Bvrn is now Father Lvnch’s secretary. Carlton Loobv, President of ✓ j • 7 the First National Grocery Chain is capably assisted by his private secretary, Mary Patrv. Donald Perfetti and Francis Valente are co-managers of the First National here in Rutland. Edward Kupic is now a famous doctor and Mary Woods doubles as his secretary and assistant nurse. Speaking of medicine, I continued, did you know that Joan Lucas is President of the S. P. C. A ? Ruth Lord is Head Nurse of the Children’s ward at the Rutland Hospital while Connie Howard is a famous lab technician at Massachusetts General Hospital. And we can’t forget Rose Mary de Bettencourt who is Director of Nurses at St. Elizabeth’s in Brighton, Mass. That’s right, and John Florv and Bob Flynn built up their passenger service to where it's one of the largest of its kind in the world, said Marv Joyce, and the fact that Nurse Anna Dell Veneri is always on hand to take care of the slightest casualty has helped their reputation. Did you know, Marv Joyce went on, that we also have at least two authors? Betty Albcrico has written the very widely read book of essays on ‘How to be Quiet’ while Helene Harvey’s experiences in ‘Mv Boarding School Daze’ have set most of the younger set to laughing and remembering their own school days. “Yes,” I replied. “I’ve read Betty’s book but not Helene’s. In fact I didn’t know she had finally finished it. I'll have to get a copy right away. Along with our authors we also have two enterprising young women who have become successful in the literary world—alhtough along different lines. Catherine Barrett is the very competent editor of ‘Holiday’ magazine and Mary Jane Goodrich is one of the best business managers ‘Life’ ever had.’’ “It’s too bad John Bresnehan was unable to be at the reunion, said Mary Joyce. “That’s right, I didn’t see him there. Where was he, do you know? I inquired. “Why, didn’t you know? He finally succeeded in purchasing the Panama Canal from the government' exclaimed Mary Joyce. “The deal nas just been closed, so I imagine he was pretty busy with all the necessary paper work.’’ “No, I didn’t know,” I replied. “John Coccia and Pat Fagan were too busy to come, too. They’re cleaning up the political corruption of New York. John is District Attorney and Pat is the Police Chief.” “Why, Helene, you don’t mean it?” asked Mary Joyce. “Yes, it's true all right. By the way, did you hear that Margaret Com- batti and Rose Colburn are working for those two famous Western boys, ‘Skipalong’ Rosenbloom and ‘Gene’ Artery? Rose is ‘Skippy’s’ business manager and ‘Pudgie’ accompanies ‘Gene’ on her accordian.” “Yes, I had heard something of the sort,” responded Mary Jovce. “You know Marilyn Carroll and Louise Garafano came all the way from Texas. They arc the proprietors of the renowned Bar l.O.U. Texas Dude Ranch. Frances Gawct, the Commercial Instructor at West Rutland High School is going back with them for a long rest.” “Wasn’t Bobby J. Carroll funny tonight?” I interrupted. “It's easy to see how he got to be the world’s most famous comedian.” “Yes, and wasn't Rose Stebbins and Shirley Drinwater’s portrayal of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis a screanP” Mary Joyce laughed. “Yes. I thought Agatha Gennette would never stop laughing,” I replied. “She operates ‘Aggie’s Cookie Jar’ in Burlington. She supplies pastry for Dot Davison’s Tea Room.” “Yes, they’re only a few blocks from Eleanor Erickson’s and my ‘Kill or Cure’ convalescent home. Sometimes Gene Bragg, who entertains our patients, comes with Eleanor and me over to ‘the Cookie Jar' for refreshments,” Mary Joyce said. “I was speaking with Gene tonight. She told me Norman Beane had discovered uranium in his Wallingford cornfield; also that John Mullin is in charge of the fire department in Wallingford,” I interposed. “I recall reading about Norman’s discovery in the same paper that announced the opening of Jeanne Balestra’s ‘Belmont Plaza’ in Mt. Holly.” Mary Joyce contributed. ”1 didn’t realize so many of our classmates were in government service,” I interrupted. “Imagine our main speaker being President Bernard Archam- beault. June Goode 11, his secretary told me his advisor, Robert H. Carroll, writes his speeches. Kath Czihy drove from Washington with June. She has her own private office in the Pentagon building.” “I’m sure Joan Herf never expected to be First Lady of the Land,” Mary Joyce said. “But she’s been taking care of Bernie long enough to have earned the honor.” “Speaking of presidents, did you know that Louis Carle and Donald Jeffo have received a citation for having discovered the Z-bomb. It beats the H-bomb by eighteen letters,” I asserted, “and Helen Chamberland received honorable mention for discovering the Platobug which is the cause for common colds.” “I’m allergic to colds. Let’s not speak of them,” pleaded Mary Joyce. “Oh, did you hear about Enie O’Rourke, she furnishes the customers for Tony Socinski’s Funeral Parlor. Sad to say though, Bob Pockette, Rutland’s Police Chief suspects Joe McDevitt of furnisning Enie with arsenic from his drugstore. “This atmosphere is getting morbid,” I interrupted, “Let’s be more cheerful . Wasn’t Barbara Druke’s piano solo nice and Mary Gleason’s yodelling really showed why she won the National Yodelling Contest.” “It was too bad John Hughes couldn’t be there,” replied Mary Joyce, “but he’s playing with the Marine band and couldn’t get a leave.” “Speaking of the service brings to mind the Army-Navy football teams coached by Slam Romano and Hank Coladonato.” I stated. “While on the subject of sports,” Mary Joyce interrupted, “Bucky Quinn manages the New York Yankees and Bob Brunellc is head coach at St. Michael’s College. Phil Thayer has retired from the basketball field after having been voted “America’s best loved basketball player.” “Don’t forget the girls,” I declared. “Beverly Rye, our roller skate enthusiast, received quite a write up the other day from Shirley O’Neill the famous sports correspondent for the New York Tribune. And Terry Druke is President of the National Baseball Association. ” I read about that” Mary Joyce asserted. “There were several academites in that newspaper. Edmund Taylor’s twentieth hit play on Broadway was announced as well as lean Taylor’s debut in Carnegie Hall. And under Radio and Television I found Tom Levins in his own T. V. Mystery Show. He plays the part of a modern Boris Karloff. Felicia Sapinski can be heard daily on her radio program ‘Felicia Faces Life.’ Joan Lorman writes her scripts.” “Speaking of television,” 1 interposed, “1 saw Eva Papincsak, Mrs. America of 1977, on it a few weeks ago. The Commercial for the program was given by Mary White, the model. She advertised the “Beauty Is As Beauty Does” Salon, operated by Pat Timbers and Barb Trombetta. The hat Eva was wearing was designed by Madame Frances; who is our own Frances Burke. She owns Madame Frances Hat Shoppe on Fifth Avenue.” “Frannie told me that Nancy Brousseau is a famous child psychologist,” continued Mary Joyce, “she also told me Margie Canary is in the Spars, Corinne Leary is in the Waves and Mary Surrell is a Wac. No one can say the girls aren’t doing their part for their country.” “Donald Trombley has retired as a serviceman and is now selling army goods,” I contributed. “Francis Lynch, one of his best customers, is one of the most popular mailmen in Rutland. ” “1 had quite a talk with Sheehan Tree tonight. I never knew she was the head of the Rutland Women’s Police Force!” exclaimed Mary Joyce. “She was telling me that Mary Mecier had quite a job as Directoress of Green Mountain Girls’ State keeping track of the girls.” “Yes, that’s what 1 heard,” I confirmed. “Did I write you that Therese Pockctte and Marina Quesnel run a Social Service Organization?” “No, you didn’t, but I am glad to hear it,” Marv Joyce answered. “Yes, the class of 1952 certainly has progressed in these 25 years!’’ “Bed time, I guess,” yawned Mary Joyce. “I wonder where we’ll all be 25 years from now.” Helene Betit, Marv Elkey, Class Prophets. Class Will The Senior Class of Mount Saint Joseph Academy in the citv and county of Rutland and the state of Vermont, being of sound mind and memory do make, publish and declare this our last will and testament.

Since student government has functioned a monitor system has been established. The council members have taken care of the bulletin boards, and sponsored school dances. Through the M.S.J. Student Council the Academy has been represented at two State Student Council Conventions and conducted a panel discussion at the National Student Council Convention last year at Boston. The Student Council is presided over by Anne Gouchoe, with Edward Kupic, as vice president and Gail Murray and John Eaton secretary and treasurer respectively. At mid'term each home room elects one member to represent them in the council. Seniors are Anne Gouchoe, Edward Kupic, George Soulia and John Carrigan; Juniors |oan Memoe, Gail Murray, John Eaton, Joseph Muscatello, Betty Albano and John Mullen; Sophomores Barbara Perry, William Lee, Denis Medlin, Rose Pellerin, Rita DellVeneri and Jean Foster; Freshmen are Richard Polzello, Marie Savery and Judith Levins.

Rushing to meet deadlines, typewriters tapping out copy, trips to the office for information, drawing up a dummy, telephone calls to the printer— these tasks and many more all go into the printing of our school publication, “The Clarion.” But when the paper arrives for the members of the student body to read eagerly and with avid interest, the editor and staff consider all the work worthwhile. Twelve issues of “The Clarion” were published this school year with Helene Harvey as EditoHn-Chief. Other seniors who served untiringly were Betty Chesley, News Editor; Catherine Ann Barrett, Feature Editor; Shirley O’Neill, Sports Editor and Helene Betit, Feature Writer. The remainder of the Staff, composed of Juniors will be the responsible leaders next year. A word of thanks is due to Sister Mary Barbara who has guided the editorial board through its year of “thrills and woes” and Sister Mary Concepta who has handled the role of adviser to the Business Board.

The officers chosen from the class of ’52 are: President, Therese Pockette; Vice President, Mary Patry; Secretary, June Goodell; Treasurer, Mary Pawlusiak. Through this Unit the entire student body has ransomed pagan babies, participated in stamp con- tests, collected clothes for the Missions, and sent periodicals and books to needy schools and missions, prisons and hospitals.

Unforgettable memories will linger long in the hearts of the senior residents after their Graduation from Mount St. Joseph. The girls they have met and the associations they have had with each other add up to countless experiences well worth remembering. To promote even further the companionship with each other, a closely- knit organization known as The Residents' Club was formed this year. Officers elected were Helene Harvey, President; Helene Betit, Vice- President; Eva Papincsak, Secretary; and Theresa Drukc, Treasurer. Several activities were held during the year. Among these were well- planned parties with appropriate programs on such occasions as Halloween, Christmas, St. Valentine’s Day, and St. Patrick’s Day. During May the Seniors tendered the under-classmen an enjoyable party and entertaining pro- gram to show their appreciation of the splendid co-operation which made possible a well organized Club.

The Band epitomizes the spirit of M.S.J. set to music and on the march. During this past season, the Band attended the Rutland-Mt. St. Joseph Football game. As the crowd cheered, the Band marched and performed before the excited spectators. The Combined Band Concert of the Rutland High School and Mt. St. Joseph Bands given in the Armory February 25, proved a great success, and warrants the event becoming an annual affair. Six school bands, conducted and instructed by Napoleon W. Ianni, participated in the Manchester Music Festival, April 26, under the auspices of the Manchester Rotary Club. The M.S.J. Band was well received, and along with the other five bands was presented a trophy by the Rotarians. Band President, George Soulia, accepted the presentation. The month of May found the Band with a full program. Mav 1, May Day at the Academy, the Band led the procession. On Armed Forces’ Day, May 17, the Band was right on hand to lend color and spirit to the Parade. The next day, the Band boarded busses and rode off to Barre, to play in the Exercises conducted by the Holy Name Society. Memorial Day found the Band starting early for Castleton where it participated in the parade. From there it went on to Crown Point, New York, where it rendered services in the memorial exercises held in that city. Highlights for the Academy musicians are taking part in the New England Music Festival and the Vermont Music Festival. This year, several members of the Band took part in the New England Concert Festival, which was held in New Britain, Connecticut; also, the M.S.J. Band was represented in the All' State Red Band and All'State Orchestra in the Vermont Music Festival, Burlington, Vermont. NAPOLEON W. IANNI Director VERMONT MUSIC FESTIVAL—BURLINGTON Danforth Awards Barbara Druke, Philip Thayer In recognition of qualities of leadership, the William H. Danforth Foundation Award went to Barbara Druke and Philip Thayer. The Danforth Foundation presents such awards each year to a worthy Senior boy and girl in high schools all over the United States and Canada. The award consists of a certificate “with the challenge to Dare Greatly—Live Usefully—and Share Freely all worthwhile things in life. The name of the winner of the award is also entered on the “I Dare You” Honor Roll at the Foundation in St. Louis, Missouri. Along with the certificate is received a book, “I Dare You’’ by Mr. Danforth. The book was originally written for the benefit of his business, family, and friends, but as the idea spread, the result was the formation of the Danforth Foundation and the I Dare You Honor Roll. His message to the daring youth of today is to be real leaders—“to think tall, stand tall, smile tall, and live tall.’’ Babe Ruth Awards Ann Reardon, Thomas Levins Sportsmanship, citizenship. leadership, co-operation, scholastic standing and participation in athletic and curricular activities were the points considered when choosing Thomas Levins and Ann Reardon winners of the Babe Ruth Awards. Both received a medal from the Babe Ruth Foundation. An engraved plaque was received by the school on which the names ot the recipients will be inscribed for the next ten years.

Here begins the tale of the 1951 edition of Mount St. Joseph Academy’s football team. Under the guidance of Coach McLaughlin, the Green Wave completed another successful season, keeping up the tradition of former great Academy squads. They wound up with a good record of four wins and three losses against the strongest opposition the Green Mountains had to ofter. The Mounties got oft on the right root in the season opener with a stirring 1 3-6 win over an always strong Granville High club. Slam Romano’s sparking 51-yard run gave the Acads a lead which they never relinquished. Keith Lafaso and lorn Carrigan collaborated on the second score. Meanwhile the great Academy line, anchored in the center by Captain Joe McDevitt, was limiting the Empire Staters to but one touchdown. Win number two was chalked up at the expense of the Purple of Bellows Falls High. The 2-0 final score sounded more like a baseball game than a foot- ball game. The Mounties capitalized on a break to rack up a safety for the only score. Again the Academites stood out on the defense, holding the Purple pointless throughout the game. Then the Mounties ran into trouble against one of the most powerful ball clubs in the state—Spaulding High of Barre. The Acads pushed across a quick first-period score and took the lead on a pass from Frank Bizzarro to brother Joe. But from then on it was all Spaulding. The Crimson Tide racked up two touchdowns in the hrst quarter and then added one more in each of the next three stanzas for a 33-6 victory. The Green Wave then got back on the victory trail by overpowering the • Catamounts of Bennington High to the tune of 27-6. Sophomore end Dick McNamara came into his own as he grabbed two of Frank Bizzarro’s tosses and went for touchdowns. The next T.D. was rolled up on a beautiful run by Slam Romano, and Sonny Gallo's 12-yard jaunt to paydirt completed the score. 1 hen came a real heartbreaker. The Mounties came out on the short end of a 7-6 score against the Cosmos of Springfield High. Springfieid rook a Slam Romano stops a Rutland player in the kmck of time. seven-point lead in the very first period. Then Joe Muscatello grabbed a Springfield fumble in the third quarter and raced eighty yards to score. But the all'important try for the extra point failed, and the Cosmos gained a one-point decision. Then came the contest with Cathedral High of Burlington and another win for the Green Wave—their fourth of the season. The Mounties tallied twice in the first half, and then held the Little Indians to but one touchdown in the second half to take a 14-6 victory. The vaunted passing combination of Frank and Joe Bizzarro accounted for both Academy scores. That last game we prefer not to talk about—the annual Armistice Day clash with the Red Raiders of Rutland High. The Acads did their best, but were unable to cope with the bigger and more experienced line of the Redmen. Anyway, it was no disgrace to lose to the Raiders, who completed an undefeated season and captured the Vermont State Title. The end of the season brought more credit to the Academy team. Five Mountie stars gained honorable mention on the All-State team —namely, end, joe Bizzarro; guard, Tom “ Tucker’ Levins; center, Joe McDcvitt; quarterback, Frank Bizzarro; and halfback, Slam Romano. Five senior Academites doffed their uniforms for the last time after the Rutland game —McDevitt, Levins, Romano, and linemen, Ed Copps and Bob Brunellc.

Bob Rounds, who did a wonderful job in his first year of varsity coac hing, guided the Mounties to a very successful record of seventeen wins and six losses. The Acads went as far as the finals of the Southern Vermont Tournament, and gained acclaim as one of the top four Class A ball clubs in the state. The Green Wave opened the season inauspiciously by dropping a 5037 decision to the Little Indians of Cathedral High, eventual winners of the North- League Title. But then the offensive attack gathered steam as the Acads went on to rack up seven straight wins before being finally overhauled by the Cata- mounts of Bennington High. Included in this victory streak were a win over the Alumni and two defeats of Windsor High’s Yellow Jackets; decisions over Burlington High and Bellows Free Academy of St. Albans; a 42-25 victory over St. Michael’s of Brattlcboro in the opener of the Southern Vermont League season; and a sizzling 56-39 win over the always dangerous Golden Horde of West Rutland High. Then came a mid-season slump as the Acads dropped three of their next four contests. It wasn’t a case of no offensive power as the Green Wave came up with 63 and 56 point performances against Bennington and Springfield. But the foul shooting in both games left something to be desired. The Acads then racked up a 65'33 decision at the expense of Brattleboro High, but the Red Raiders of Rutland grabbed the first leg on the city title by squeezing out a 34-27 victory. Then came another win streak as the Green Wave grabbed six straight contests. During this period they overcame the toughest opposition in the league, Bellows Falls, West Rutland, Bennington, Springfield, Brattleboro, and Rutland. That last decision over the Red Raiders by a 44-42 count deadlocked the series in the race for the city championship. The Acads then suftered a heartbreaking loss to the Purple of Bellows Falls High to the tune of 46-45, but second place in the S.V.L. and a spot in the tournament had already been assured, so there was no real damage done. The Mounties then rolled over Cathedral in a return engagement, 47-46, and finished out the season in winning style with a brilliantly executed 55-36 decision over the Seahorses of Burlington High. With an excellent 16-5 record in regular season play, the Acads moved into the annual Southern Vermont League Tournament. Their first opponent was Springfield High, a club with which they had split the season’s series, each team taking one game. The Cosmos proved themselves formidable opponents Tom Carrigan makes a free throw go id. as they drove to an early lead and held it up until the fourth quarter. Then Captain Hank Coladonato and his mates closed the gap and then pulled out in front to win, 44-41, with the aid of an effective freeze employed during the final two minutes. Coladonato’s sixteen points led the offensive attack, and Joe Bizzarro and Tom Carrigan threw in twelve and nine points, respectively. The Green Wave then moved into the tourney finals against the Red Raiders of Rutland High, hut came out on the short end of a 41-34 score. The Mounties held a five-point edge at half time, hut the Redmcn pulled away in the third period, as the Acads were unahle to find the range from the floor. The Raiders went on to win the Vermont Class A Title, so we certainly have nothing to he ashamed of. CoUdonato’s nine tallies again led the Mounties in this, the final game of high high school haskethall career. Frank Bizzarro and Tom Carrigan also spearheaded the attack. Coladonato proved himself the best all-around ballplayer in the tourney, as he was chosen captain of the All-Tournament team. The Mounties outscored their opponents all through the season, racking up a total of 1028 points to 832 for the opposition, and averaging a neat 44.7 points per contest. Captain Coladonato gained a ranking as one of the top scorers in the league, with 289 tallies to his credit or an average of 12.6 per game. The Bizzarro twins, Joe and Frank, grabbed the runner-up spots in the final tallies. Joe's season total of 222 points was more than enough to Frank Bizzirro takes the tap-off. give him second place, while Frank came in third with 139. Center Bob Gillam reached the honored lOOpoint class with 106, while Tom Carrigan and Phil Tahyer notched over 90 points apiece. Carrigan was especially valuable for his flashy playmaking and fine defensive work. Jack Eaton and Bobby Carroll were also constant scoring threats throughout the season. Good team play was certainly the essential element in the Mounties' success. Coach Bob Rounds will be losing three seniors from this year’s squad— Hank Coladonato, Phil Thayer, and Bob Carroll. However, these losses shouldn’t be too hard to bear, if you take a look at those veterans who will be returning. Three juniors and two sophomores will probably make up the nucleus of next season’s ball club. The third-year men include Frank and Joe Bizzarro and Jack Eaton, all talented and versatile scorers, while Tom Carrigan and Bob Gillam, both experienced varsity men, have two more years of eligibility. In addition, boys such as Harold Satch” Burke, Joe Levins, Basil Nichols, Mike Decker, and Charlie O’Rourke will be moving up from the Jayvces. Another outstanding ball club, perhaps a state title may be in the offing— -who knows?

With a full slate of nine veterans returning, for the start of the baseball season, the Mounties appeared to be one of the top ball clubs in the area. Under the tutelage of Coach Bob Rounds, the Green Wave grabbed six wins out of their first eight contests. In the lead oft battle with Poultney, a two-run sixth inning was all the Blue Devils needed to take a 2-1 decision. Hank Coladonato and Joe Bizzarro teamed up to hold Poultney to one hit. But meanwhile, the only Mountie to touch the offerings of hurler Wally Fabian was Bizzarro, who drove in the lone Academy run on a single in the second. A thirteen-hit attack was the big factor as the Acads racked up their first win in a brilliant 17-11 slugfest over St. Mary’s of Amsterdam. Hank Coladonato’s two long homers and a ten-hit pitching job bv Joe Bizzarro and Red Burke set the stage for the win. Captain Ed Kupic, Sonny Burke, Tucker Levins, and [oe Bizzano all banged out two hits apiece. Next came win No. 2, as the Mounties pulverized Black River High of Ludlow, 203. Hank Coladonato turned in a masterful one-hit performance, striking out a total of eighteen men along the route. While Coladonato was taming the Presidents, first baseman Joe Bizzarro was spearheading the Mountie attack. He had three hits, including an inside-the-park homer. Frank Bizzarro, Tucker Levins, Ed Dolphin and Mike Decker had two hits apiece. The Cosmos of Springfield High then fell victims to the Green Wave. Tight pitching by Joe Bizzarro and Red Burke limited the Cosmos to but three hits. On the offensive side, Joe McDevitt’s line single into right scored Ed Kupic with the winning run in extra innings to enable the Wave to take a 7-5 decision. Ed Dolphin and Fred Small led the eleven-hit attack for the Mounties. Next came a tussle with the Slaters of Fair Haven High and another win for the Acads, this time, a 14-3 victory. Behind the tight pitching and the four hits of Hank Coladonato, the Wave wrapped up the issue in the very first inning. Frank Bizzarro and Mike Decker also led the attack. Then the Mounties ran up against Bennington High, and came out on the shore end of a 2-1 score. |oe Bizzarro limited the Catamounts to seven hits, but meanwhile the Acads could gather only five off the offerings of hurler Don Burke. Bizzarro’s double in the sicth drove in the only Mountie run. Next came the annual tilt with the Golden Horde of West Rutland. This time the Mounties came out on top to win, 1-0, in a brilliantly pitched contest. Red Burke allowed only four hits and but one walk. Although the Wave had only five safeties, they were able to make them count. The Mounties then took over the first leg of the city baseball title with a sizzling 4-3, extra-inning victory over the always dangerous Red Raiders of Rutland High. Hank Coladonato’s game-winning home run in the last of the eighth provided a fitting climax to an excitement-filled contest. Sharing the Academy spotlight were Joe Bizzarro, whose relief pitching held the Rcdtnen scoreless for the last three innings; and Eddie Dolphin, whose sixth-inning single tied the score. The Mounties seven hit attack and tight defensive work was the big factor, as it was all through the season.
