Tl-IE SENIOR CLASS To THE SENIORS OF '53:- All good things must come to an end and so your sheltered and happy days at Oratory are about to be held among the most Cherished memories of your lives. Your minds and hearts have been trained to successfully cope with the problems which inevitably lie ahead, Your honesty and integrity will often be put to the test by competitive and questionable tactics that are to be found in almost every field of endeavor today. However, the man of character will always come out on top, in the end. For character is nothing more than ever doing right toward God-your neighbor-and yourself. Such is the all- embracing lesson we would have you carry with you always from your devoted Alma Mater. Go forth, therefore, dear Graduates and remember you bear the name of Oratory. Be men of prayer -and-as we are tolcl More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. FR. BAIN

CLASS FRESHMAN YEAR There were some familiar faces among the Freshman students at Oratory. b:.ck in September of 1949. Those returning from the Oratory Eighth Grade were: john Dwyer, joe Lynch, Gary Neverick, and Jack Schweikhardt. The new students that year were: Bill Bentz, john Bolton, Tony Kearns and Dick Stevens, Room four served as a home room for this new Oratory Class. While there was nothing too outstanding that this class accomplished during their first year, there was a definite class spirit, and a fondness for learning, shown in various classes, principally Latin. Friendships were formed which have lasted through- out the four years in High School, which, we are sure, will continue long after we have left Oratory. The class provided Mr, Slheridan's J.V, teams with some good material. Joe Lynch, an old timer at Oratory, made the football team, so that our class had someone to cheer on to victory, The year passed quickly and soon we found our- selves cramming for our first final june exams. Of course, there were Some Of the more studious members of our class fortunate enough to be exempt, who sat around taking life easy, while their classmates sweated it out. SOPHOMORE YEAR After a restful vacation we returned with a spirit of organization and a desire to accomplish something, After obtaining permission to hold a class meeting in Mr, Cooney's history class, we proceeded to elect our First Class Officers. They were as follows: Richie Clark, President, joe Lynch, Vice-Presi- dent, john Dwyer, Secretary, and john Bolton, Treasurer. With these capable officers to direct our class, we started toward constructive goals. Our first project was to rai-se money to buy a wedding present for Mr. Dalavalle, then our biology and algebra teacher. Who of us can forget his smile when Class President, Richie Clark presented that toaster to him? Desiring to do all in our power to help the school yearbook, we also collected money to place an advertisement in the book, to wish the graduating class of that year the best of luck. With this final gesture our year ended, we went home with a sense of pride and accomplishments. We, the Class of '53 were organized and united for the betterment of our school, our class, and ourelves. JUNIOR YEAR Our Junior year was a memorable and pleasant one. For Class Officers we had Joe Lynch, President, John Dwyer, Vice-President, Tom Arnold, Secre- tary, and Kevin Powers, Treasurer. Perhaps the highlight of the year was the dedication of Kelly Field, so
