UV' mam Because you have been to us a Father, guide and friend, we dedi- cate to you our 1953 MOUNT. We shall not forget your sound advice and kind encouragement. We appreciate the privilege of being the first class at the Mount to receive for four years your holy and efficient leadership. May we prove true to the principles you have instilled. ftiskop Kyan’s Centenary Prayer 0 God, the shepherd and Ruler of all Thy faithful people, mercifully grant that, through the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, we may dedicate and consecrate this One Hundredth Anniversary Year of our Diocese to the greater honor and glory of the Most Holy Trinity. Under the inspiration and guidance of the Holy Spirit, may we, by our prayers and good works, and especially by the frequent re- ception of the Sacraments of Penance and the Holy Eucharist, make this year of 1953 a truly Holy Year Mindful of the myriad blessings the Giver of every good and perfect gift has showered on our Diocese during the past century, we return thanks from hearts filled with love and gratitude. Conscious of our sins and the sins of others, we beseech the Good Shepherd to turn away His eyes from our iniquities, and we beg Him to bring back to the Faith those of our brethren who have strayed from the Fold. For all the souls of the faithful departed we pray, asking God in His mercy to give them the reward of eternal life .... MONSIGNOR WILLIAM A. CROWLEY Diocesan School Superintendent May Almighty God strengthen our Holy Father, Pope Pius XII and the Church Universal in the struggle to overcome the Godless- ness and Immorality of our day. May He bless our homes, our families and our children. May Our Loving Savior inspire our young men and women to pray for the high vocation to serve Him and His Church in the priest- hood and the religious life. These favors we ask through the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of the Patroness of our Diocese, Mary, the peerless Queen of Heaven. Amen.

In this year- book are recorded the activities of our four years at Mt. St. Joseph, years having too quickly come to an end. We, the 1953 Mount staff have tried our best to recapture the joys and sorrows of Retreats, assemblies, games, tournaments, pep- rallies, plays, dances and the daily events of our school life. If in the years to come these pages bring back to you memories of the happy days we spent together at the Academy, and if you find in them inspiration, then our goal will have been attained. May you enjoy reading it as much as we have enjoyed compiling it. The keynote of our success has been the co- operation of the entire Mount” staff and the encouragement of our faculty advisor. Sister M. Concepta. The staff and the students of the Mount wish to express their sincere appreciation and thanks to those establishments which have helped to make this yearbook possible. It was a pleasure to deal with them. We hope that the acquaintances made in our business contacts with them will serve to strengthen the relation- ships between our school and the citizens of Rutland. To all we are sincerely grateful.

Physical education was re-established at the Academy by Coach James J. McLaughlin. The course was highlighted by a Gymnastic Circus which was truly a cre- dit to this ambitious man. It was only a small exhibition of the many benefits received from such an educational course. Through the physical activities which are selected and carried on a student learns the values of human growth, development, and behavior. The objectives are to provide wholesome activities com- prised of team sports, individual sports, and body mechanics which will contribute toward the acquiring of specific recrea- tional skills, interests and attitudes for life-long leisure time A.

Joyc« SENIORS Zhe Principal's greetings In tendering congratulations and prayerful best wishes to you of this class of 1953, I feel a special responsibility. It has been my privi- lege to work with you and for you during your entire stay at the Academy for we both come as freshmen together. Now you are leaving. Searching for a parting word of advice to you I can find no better than that used by the Pharaoh King of Egypt, Go to Joseph. Life in this world of necessity has its very difficult hours. The efforts expended on your behalf will not have been spent in vain if during these times of trial, test, and temptation you remember but this one admonition, Go to St. Joseph. St. Joseph was given charge of the two holiest people who ever walked this earth, Jesus and Mary. To Him now has been given charge of the universal church. Into the Hands of this same great St. Joseph, I would commit you the class of 1953. If in the days to come there are troubles in your home go to this glory of home life and pillar of families. If you are wretched in your work or social life, go to this solace of the wretched. If you find it too demanding to be faithful to your God, your family, yourself, then go to Joseph most faithful. If you are tempted go to this terror of demons. If you are afraid of death go to the patin of the dying. In every need in every case, in every worry, in every trial, in life and in death Go to St. Joseph. Together we have prayed many times our little prayer reprinted here as a reminder of our obli- gation to pray for one another. Remember it; remember to pray it, and in your charity remem- ber to pray also for me. May the blessing of Almighty God, the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, descend upon you and remain forever. O good St. Joseph, in your name. . . We ask for grace and light... To live a better life each day... By do- ing what is right. . . Inspire us to holiness. . . And vir- tue unashamed. . . Instill in us the zeal with which. . . Your spirit is inflamed. . . Watch over us in happiness . . . And when our hopes are dim. . . Protect us from all harm and hurt... As you protected Him. . . O good and kind St. Joseph, be. . . Our foster-father, too. . . And let us bring our problems and. . ..Our troubled hearts to you. . . Teach us to work for Jesus Christ. . . With every deed and breath. . . Help us to live a holy life. . , And die a happy death. Class Motto Jnto the hands of St. yosepl Mover Students Salutatorian JOHN .

President’s Address In a matter of days we will graduate, reaching the goal to which we have looked forward for four of the most pleasant years of our lives. It seems only yesterday we were Freshmen. Now we are about to go forth into the world, some to seek high education, others will be absorbed by business and industry, still others will no doubt join the armed forces in defense of our country. Whatever field we may choose we shall be thoroughly equipped with an excellent academic and 4 sound religious background. We, the class of 1953, should deem it a privilege to graduate on the Centennial anniversary of the catholic Diocese of Burlington which has been designated as a Holy Year by his Excellency Bishop Ryan. The achievements of the Diocese of Burlington have been most commendable. Es- pecially noteworthy is the fine progress of Catholic education in this State. We must never forget the debt of gratitude we owe our teachers who have labored long and diligently to aid our mental and spiritual development. We are indebted also to our coaches whose athletic program has aided in bodily development, but what is still more important, it has shown us the true meaning of self reliance and good sportsmanship, qualifications which will be of immeasurable value to us in the future. In the name of our class I wish to extend our sincere thanks to our Principal, Rev. Father Lynch, to our Assistant Principal, Sister Mary Annunciata, to all of our Sister teachers, and to the lay faculty members for all they have done to make these four years at Mt. St. Joseph both fruitful and happy.

Ja Jtemowm In September 1949 Barbara Lord of Mount Hollycame to the Mount. A quiet and conscientious girl Barb soon won the respect and friendship of both her teachers and classmates. Feelings of deep sorrow and regret filled our hearts when on April 26, 1952 of our junior year, Barbara left us to go to God. Will we ever forget Barb's in- spiring essay How Good Example Led Me to the Faith? We extend our deep-felt sympathy to her dear par- ents, relatives and friends. Even though we miss Barb, we pray that Our Dear Lord will guide us as He did ourdear friend so that we may enjoy our Eternity together.

JOHNSON Few men are lacking in capacity but they fail because they arc lacking in ambition. Such is not the case with these students for these are the honored ones this year. Robert Clark has received the outstanding student award--the Balfour Key because of his faithfulness to studies, his application to extra-curricular activities and his dependable service to the school. Gail Murray was voted as the Academy’s Daughter of American Revolution Good Citizenship Girl. This choice was made on traits of leadership, scholarship, dependability and service to the school and country. The Green Key holders are Joan Memoe, Michael Halpin, Judy Levins and Shelia Carr. These students are prominent in honor row because they have understood well that There is but one virtue--the eternal service to others. To Jack Eaton and Ann Courcelle comes recognition for real ability and true sportsmanship in athletic en- deavors. The Danford Awards are presented to John Crowley and Judith Corcoran because of their strong characters. The Charter members of the Josephite Chapter of the National Honor Society are honored because they have B averages in academic work and citizenship giving them the right to the designation as outstanding citizens of the Mount Saint Joseph Student Community. They are: C. Mondella. K. Salerni, G. Murray, A. Marro, P. Mehuron. J. Rizzienrc, M. Cote, L. Segale, M. Donovan, J. Memoe, J. Corcoran, M. Farrell, E. Valenty, B. Perry. S. Hinchey, M. Lord, M. Lovett, A. Le Vangie, J. Foster. S. Manley, M. Mumford, C. Tardiff, J. Eaton, R. Clark, J. Crowleym, J. Smyrski, J. Mullen. To all these is honor given with the prayer that all those who follow, may follow after. Jh Retrospect We have watched these pages unfold our past, recalling to our minds the many memorable events which we have either witnessed or participated in here at the Mount. In a prominent place in our memoirs are our teachers who have labored incessantly for four years teaching us by means of text books and good example, how to con- duct ourselves when we go out into the world after our commence- ment. But most important of all they have helped to prepare us for our special call in life; a roll which we alone can fulfill according to God’s wishes. For in the words of Cardinal Newman We are all created to His glory--we are created to do His will; I am created to do something or to be something for which no one else has been created. We are all adapted for our role as Christ has planned for our future since the beginning of time. He has destined some to be prominent individuals whose activities the world will watch with interest while others will seemingly be so unimportant that not even their nearest neighbor will note their achievements great or small. Yet, fame in this world does not necessarily mean importance; for St. Therese of Lisieux while on earth was just another nun in the eyes of the people but after death she was a great saint in heaven. At times carrying out His will may seem hard, even impossible; but if we keep in our heart the motto of our senior year Ad Jesum per Mariam we are sure to i'i find the needed strength to straighten up under our burden and with a smile on our lips, hand in hand with Mary to continue on the road to our Eternal Commencement.

Never again will we be able to offer our Thanksgiving to You as a class. May the ideals which we will strive to live guide us all to Your Comforting Arms for Eternity. Even in the shadow of the isms surrounding us and the horror of the A-Bombs may we be true to our Catholic teachings and bring many to You with us. I COMMUNION BREAKFAST OUR CHALLENGE The trouble with the world today is not that there are so many bad people, but that the good people are not good enough. If you are to do your part in improving world conditions you need first, inspiration; second, challenge; and third, assurance of success. You can find inspiration in the sacrifices made in your behalf by parents, teachers and friends, who expect of you in return good character, rather than riches or fame. Challenge exists in the hunger of the world for truth. Through faithful practice of your training in religion, you graduates are able to give the world the truth about God and through your actions set an example for the world to follow. Your assurance of success comes through solid belief in the living leadership of Jesus Christ, who provides constant encourage- ment in whatever you undertake in life.
