CHARLES DOUGLAS GORDON The class of 1966 salutes Doug Gordon as one of the finest mount- men ever produced. In a period of four years, Doug has risen to the position of class president, a position of which both he himself and the student body should be proud. Doug has been a prime example of what a mountman should be. He has striven for scholastic achievement yet at the same time has contributed much to extra-curricular ac- tivities. Doug has shown his leadership qualities and displayed fine spirit in such organizations as the junior and senior prom committees. He has exemplified sportsmanship by participation in J.V. Soccer, J.V. Basketball, and the intramural tournaments. Thus, the class of '66 will long remember Doug as one of the truly outstanding men at the Mount.

Mr. John Plevyak Business Math, History, Typing In 1941, Mr. John Plevyak began his career as a teacher at Mount Saint Joseph High School. Now, 25 years later, in 1966, Mr. Plevyak is celebrating his silver anniversary as a teacher. As a tribute to Mr. Plevyak, a dinner was held in his honor on May 19, 1966 in the cafeteria at 7:00 P. M. Mr. Plevyak has seen many changes since being born in Simpson, Pennsylvania. After graduating from Fell High School, where he played on the Varsity Basketball and Baseball squads, Mr. Plevyak attended Bloomsburg State College. There he played Soc- cer, Basketball and Baseball. While teaching at the Mount, Mr. Plevyak married Miss Phylis M. Toole in 1945. Besides teaching, Mr. Plevyak has coached many teams to M. S.A. championships. His soccer teams won eight champion- ships and his J.V. Basketball teams have also won an M. S. A. Championship. At the height of his career, Mr. Plevyak was made the Mount's athletic director. He schedules games, organizes activities, checks incoming and outgoing equipment, examines field conditions for games and arranges transportation for teams. Mr. Plevyak has held this position for the past five years. Since Mr. Plevyak started his teaching career, many changes have evolved in education.

May the cross of blessing which we now trace over your skies E and your land preserve those gifts which Christ gave you and guar- O antee to you: Peace, concord, fre edom, justice, and above all the vision of life in the hope of immortality. God bless this N land of yours. R t From Pope Paul VI's arrival address in the U. S. S JAMES SCHROEDER MICHAEL J. ATKINSON James Schroeder came to the Mount from St. Peter's Parish Sfcholol. H: was Basketball present on our campus or ess I: an a b year. In that short time he left his if: all mark on the Brothers and the students who knew him. His election to the of- fice of treasurer indicated his stature among his cla s s m a t e 5. Jimmy was called to his reward in May of '62. We think that his 5 m i 1 i n 9 happy per- sonality has contributed much to the Football Mgr. Quill Staff class of '66. HARRY L ALLENDER DAVID J. AUSTIN Baseball Int.
