They have shown the true spirit of individualism. and yet all agree on certain things, one of these being their favorite teacher. Mr. Humphreys and his subject. Biology. They have also picked Dailey as the most popular. with Lo Destro and Nesi trying for the honor of being the t'Class Brain . Some have won many medals and awards for past achievements. Not least among these are john Barret. who won eight medals for track, and Gerry Hun- ter, who won four medals for the same. There are also Mike Brennam, recipi- Poyyer Photo W 1th exams coming up G Hunter needs a knapsack to tote home all hls books P Hannon and A Hofknecht help him stoke up ent of an award for baseball. and Bob O'Neill. whose prowess in tap-dancing has gotten him seven of these golden insignice of merit. However all their time is not spent in winning medals. Nick Lacalomita rep- resents the class in debate: Ken Brown. Neil OiShea. and Tad Dejewski spend most of their time on the press club. There are many different types of hobbies represented in this class. among them stamp collecting. which is the most popular. and model plane building. the next in line. One of these that we should delve further. is the basket-weaving of Bob Melchione. He has done this for some time, and has become quite a pro- fessional at it. Another hobby that I think should also be mentioned, is the gun and old sword collecting of jim Fal- lon.

' ' YLASSES Class 301 We are not a numerous group. but we are very. very yvileyf In fact. we come to school for the chief and sole dread purpose of driving teachers mad! Yisi- tors remark the brightness of our coun- tenances. the intelligence beaming from our brows. We formed a club. a learned 'den of iniquity. a nest of conspira- tors. designed. so it seems. to keep the teachers on their toes. and to make their lot as a whole. a miserable one. And that, sirs. is what sharpened our minds to the extent which you do see before you. tSuch is the reputation were fast learn- ing to undo.j But now that you know just the type of little angels we are. and I say this with a smile, we should show you just what else we do in our spare time. Often you may see Leo Pipino, with trumpeter Russo and joe Lombardy, rendering a piece of jazz down in the auditorium Leo has played the accor dion for fiye years and joe has pounded on the piano eyer since he was knee high to a grasshopper Russo has been blow ing his horn for so long that he was awarded a scholarship for his ability W hen you put these three together you get the sweetest music OWU this side of heaven Russo couldn t be located for the picture that appears in the upper right hand corner of this page but his fellow musicians could so take a glance at the shot that resulted Besides key pounders there are also cinder pounders for the class is yery athletically inclined First we haye Porter the man with the wings on his feet. who races across the fields of Central Park. He won many medals and awards because of his Beet- ness in grammar school, and he will undoubtedly heap more honors upon himself and the school by doing the same for the Power track team. We also have a boy with the un- common name of Duffy. whom you can find at any time after school hours clown in the yard. trying his darndest to out- bounce a basketball. He is one of the few that you can meet who actually practices what he preaches. He is sure to win a place on the freshman basket- ball team. as he is terrific on the offen- sive, and a wicked man to play against on the defensive. But we forgot to mention the teachers! These poor souls certainly de- serve at least that! In recognition of D LaBua Dis chord and dat chord Wltll J Lom hardy at the piano and L Plpxno on the squeeze box LaBua W'ith backs to Algebra, P.

Hasset check a point in science. the fact that most of them don't even want it to be known that they are asso- ciated with us we will mention only our official and religion instructors Both our official teacher and our French instructors positions are filled by a man capable of th1s tedious job I am speaking of none other than our esteemed Mr Perreault Our religion period is taken over in the afternoon by Brother Iyolan He not only teaches us Religion but English too We learned long ago that even though he IS a nice fellow, there was not going to be any fooling around in his period But now the bell will ring soon so I guess that it IS time that we said Good bye from the class of 301 LaBua Front R0 G Nealis I Hassett W 0Connell G Reidy E OReilly M McCrann J Payro D 'VIcIntyre K Quinn P Parizlo Second Rott P lVIcWeeny D Pasadao 'VI kennedy J Marino Zmcone I kenny R Lay1S0l0 E Guurbla F Gate I Lambardi X Duffy Thzrd Rott D OConnor R Pryor E Muezer B Gayin F DiGangi J 'VIcIxeon 'NI 'NOHUI1 I Branco WI OC0nnell ,I Porter Back R0w J Moody J Newton P McIntyre R Kenny W Lacey P lVIcNIorrow -X Bolek L PIDIHO W MCMHHUS .I PYICC R Dalton 22 The Power 7 ' ' , - 44 ' M tc - ' ax' ' , ' .

There are only so many to kill and thats all I d0n't think people want their homes, their famllies, everything taken away from again after just a very short period of rest between wars, and for some there has been no rest at all Yes, I think that there will be peace for some time now The World IS weary of War Gerry 0Br1an, Semor Room 607 I agree with Jim Hayes, in a way but feel that man is by nature a greedy and warlike animal, and that there will be a Third a Fourth, a Fifth, etc etc, and no letup in them until there IS no more to destroy People are, as jim says tired of war, but man in general likes to fight and there will always be a war Thomas Murray, Senzor Room 607 The War made famous by the phrase, War to end all Wars, has not yet come, though we have been waiting for it since 1917 I hope I never see it However if I do have the misfortune to be among those that have to attempt living through 1t, and if I can help try to make that vain dream of a War to end Wars a reality 1n the hope that I will be proved wrong I will do it So frankly 66 speaking, I cannot give you an answer to your querry, because, you see, I don't know. All you can do is do your best in peace to prevent war and your best in war to attain peace Then you pray that you re still ahve A rather pessimistic attitude, I know, but that s just the way I feel pessimistic, despondent Do Unto Others Do unto others as you would h they should do unto you I know of no finer, greater or more appropriate quotation for these times, or for any time an ideal that it be hooves every individaal to live every day of his life Now what are ideals? How do they benefit one? Why do ideals make life more worthwhile? Ideals are the models the patterns, the lmages by which one may live most completely Ideals, like a great strong cable, serve to bind together the finest Brother W A Hennessy MSC experiences of all mankind Ideals of courtesy kindness, friendship loyalty faith and courage, with many others unite to make life more pleasant and to help to alleviate human suffering In contrast ideals can forstall many actions and much of the discord and bitterness that endangers the very souls of men and of nations The building of ideals should be para mount ln the life of every 1nd1v1dual For like the ripples in a pool, high ideals reach out farther and farther to touch and improve many unknown lives God grant that each of us may take as his personal responsibility the attainment of high ideals for himself and for all with whom he associates What a vast increase in the sum total of human happiness it would mean if each one of us were to be always as kind as he could be. Why, earth would be almost heaven if all unkindness were eliminated from our lives The worst kinds of unhappiness, as well as the greatest amount of 1t, come from conduct to each other If our con duct therefore were under the control of kindness, it would be nearly the op pOSlte of what it is and so the state of the world would be almost reversed Kindness is infectuous One kind action leads to another Our example is fol lowed This IS the greatest work that kindness does to others that it makes them klnd themeslves Let us try to 1m1tate the goodness and charity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus In our thoughts Do we try to see the good rather than the evil in those around us, to fix our thoughts upon their good points rather than dwell upon their weaknesses and faults We ourselves have our failings as well as our good cruahties we should like others to dwell upon the latter rather than the former In our words Do we try not alone to think but also speak well of others, especially behind their backs It IS base and cowardly to say of another in his absence what we should never venture to assent before his face Be tender of the reputation of your neighbor as you would wish him to be careful of your own The best plan is to make It an invlolable rule never, if possible, to say a hard word of anyone In our aetzons Negatively and posi tively, negatively by never doing what would hurt or injure others positively by showing them all goodness and con slderatlon in our dealings with them Furthermore we must help our neighbor spiritually and temporarily we must assist the poor, the sick, the afflicted we must pray for the conversion of the sin ner and be full of tender pity for the children of the Sacred Heart in Purga tory Thus shall we 1m1tate and become dear to Him whose Heart is Full of goodness and love ' Remember the following advice I pass through the world but 0 If therefore there rs any good that I can do, any kmdness that I can show to any human bemg, let me do rt now, let me not defer or neglect rt for I shall not pass thzs way agazn Brother Wzllzam A Hennessy The Power . , ' . , ' . . . . . . . , - 7 ' 7 7 7 n 0 .

The second quarter saw Miles benched on five person- als, all called by the ref. that squatted in the plastic cage above the backboard. With two ref's on the court and one above each backboard, it looked as if half the team would sit it out before the game's end. jumping in and out of Texan knees seemed to annoy the longhorns no end, to our advantage, and the half-time tally read 20 all. The third quarter saw an alarming number of rebounds fall prey to the mastodons, who seemed prone to using their torsos as a barricade.

TO ALL TEACHERS Standard Procedure Instructions on death of students It has been recently brought to the attention of the Office that many stu dents have been dying for apparently no good reason during class Furthermore the same students are refusing to fall over after they are dead This in some cases has lead to tardiness for the fol lowing class Thzs Practice Must Stop At Once On and after january 1 1952 any student found sitting up after he has died will be dropped from the Academy at once without further argument under Regulation 207 Section S tNon learn ing student clausej XX here it can be proyen that the stu dent is being held up by a desk type writer or any other support owned by the school a ninety 1903 day period of grace will be granted The following procedure will be strict ly adhered to lf after several hours it is noticed that any student has not moi ed or changed position the teacher will investigate Because of the highly Sensitive nature of our students, and the close resemblance between death and their natural working attitude, the in- vestigation should be made quietly so as to prevent waking the student if he is asleep, which is permitted under the pre- sent school regulations. If some doubt exists as to the true condition, a sick pass may be used as a final test. If the student does not reach for it, it may be reasonably assumed that death has oc- curred. NOTE: In some cases the instinct is so strongly developed that a spasmodic clutching reflex may occur Dont let this fool you In all cases a sworn statement must be filed by the dead person on a special form provided for non learning students Fifteen tl5j copies will be required Three C33 copies will be sent to the Principal s office two C21 to the Regis trar one C11 to the State Coroners Office two Q21 to the Office to prevent re enrollment and the rest will promptly be lost in the school files 0 From the Regis Quarterly a Latin gem Pricus erat barbatus Qui dixit Ut formidatus, Bubonibus fulica Pavonlbus cassita, Barba nidus est aedificatus KW hzch translated means Q There was an old man with a beard XX ho said It is just as I feared Two owls and a hen, Four larks and a wren Have all built their nests in my beard HARVEY By Tom Cadogan WE WILL STUD THE LIRE OF A BEFCH ' WHO WILL VOLLJN EER T LQET SOME 1,-.A 'AFECH NUI5 en 'gn 5-XLD7 'N 5-A i-brvlf BEEN ssmzcmn ron HOuPS Y ' r HAVEN r even roumb A WAIFLZ LILY NEVER MIND BELCH NUTS' 441.gif 5 X-Jgilfff Lf February 18 1952 93 . 4. .

Turn us in- to a bunch of softies? Who needs sugar? There hasn't been any of that stuff in Power since the hospital was here. fReally just kiddin'-ha ha, ulplj Theres a certain character down on the fifth floor who is constantly giving out with Cry He apparently hasn t suffered enough to be a great artist, but if we get our hands on him, well make it all up in a hurry By the way How about a warm welcome for the new Frosh? Dont forget to tell them about the smoking lounge, the swimming pool, and the overnight guest rooms But be kind to them Remember that you were a Freshman once or twice yourself Those poor February boys have a lot to learn such as the fact that they will not be tolerated above the third floor on any occasion except when accompa med by not less than three C31 Seniors, otherwise the school will not be responsi ble for their scalps How about some exchanges? I guess you re sick and tired of hearing me spout A bunch of germs were hitting it up In the bronchial saloon Two bugs on the end of the larynx IX ere Jazzing a rag time tune IX h1le back of the teeth in a solo game Sat dangerous Dan Ixerchoo, And watching his play was his light of love, The lady that's known as Flu.

The particular arm in question hangs from the left side of junior jim kennedy Last year as a soph jim held the number one pltching job only to shlne at the bat and not on the hill where his glitter would have been more fully appreciated This sea son we hope however, to see good pitching performances along with a potent bat Yaturally well accept both with pleasure The coach was all wrong last vear in many minds as a seemingly undeveloped soph walked out to the mound to toss the get away game This however, was much to the contrary for Jlm was actually a veter an in his own right and had been pitch ing games since his days ln the 6th grade at Presentation Grammar School Jamaica Ed Burns picked well Applying the scales and measures to this kennedv fellow we determine a compact 5 10 frame welghlng 160 lbs jim calls Jamacia North home, but IS known to catch some extra shut eve at 603 Being a stickler for work he fre quently pitches two or three ballgames a week during the ball season The Senior Ixiwanls League had Jim s valu able service last vear but this season he is intent on taking a gamt step into the Queens Nassau Lea-'fue Through been the eminent sports personalitv Joe Austin who has been of the great est worth in gllldlng jim toward star dom in the sports domam of Nlr -Xustm has also helped Jim with his batting technioue this ln particular is easilv seen by his 473 percentage mark at the plate Although not a flower fan c1er picklng dandelions was one of jim 5 dell hts as he patrolled the picket line Xl hile not pitching jim was help ing his chuckmg buddles with flawless outfield dutv In Ixennedv s pltchlng manner, we see a compact. practical windup which shows no signs of showmanship. This is much to his personal credit. H throws up an assortment of hooks, drops and fast balls plus a few ballons which promptly get belted However his hole pitch so to speak is his fast ball Since his windup and stretch motions are natural he has contrived a good pick off move toward second catching manv a run ner unaware Jim s actual delivery is in a three fourths manner much like the ma jorltv of major league throw ers During the interview I asked him just what particular team mate was the greatest influence to him throughout the rough going overs he received in his first vear of varsitv ball He readilv admitted his catcher Dick Paton was of the most assistance help ing him over the bumps Jlm expressed regret that Paton was one of last vears raduatmg class In the past lt has been an estab llshed practice for Sluggo Garguile to tread the long path from the bull pen this vear we are hopeful that Sluggo will gain a few extra pounds from lack of exercise St -Inns and the Mount appeared to have lim s number in the past because each time he took the hill against them he soon found him self under the soothing warmth of an earlv shower On the other hand jim as he twlrled no hit ball for sw 1nn1n s Like everv other fellow Jim has a favorite major league ballclub but strange enough his top team is an out of towner namelv the Cardinals The New Xork club he roots for sorta second best are the Coogan Bluffers the Giants I suppose he s a Cardinal rooter and a Giant sv mpathizer The humor came w hen I asked which club he would rather plav with he named the Xankees It seems he thinks this wav for financial reasons Prettv good reasoning The Power l I e l f J . . , R T 7 . . . .

As for track, the most impressive work was done by our hard running freshmen. Notable among these were 220 yard man Don Bohan and his fleet companions, Pat OCon- nor and john Shea. Their 107 medals and four trophies augurs well for next year. Correction In the May issue of The Power on p. 142, an article and picture appeared stating that Mr. Gal- lagher was the head of the Confraternity of The Christian Doctrine at Power. Mr. Gallagher is a Director of the Lonfraternity of The Christian Doc- trine, but not at Power, since the Confraternity has not been established at Power as yet. The work of teaching boys at St. Matthewts is an activity of the Sodality to which Mr. Gallagher has given gener- ously of his time. Debaters Deliver In the recent Irish Christian Brothers Tourna ment the debaters gained second place m the over all points for the debate section of the tournament and third place in the Senior Declamation F Fitz lbbon and F Batridve placed first in the Senior Debate while J Scott and R Dunne placed first in the Junior Debate Both teams were awarded Oscars Power came vuthln five heartbreaking points of taking the tournament trophy Concert Previews Povsefs annual concert this year will boast the SCFVICCS of two topflight artists along with the pro gram which has been prepared by the Band and Glee Club Mr Christopher Lynch renowned Irish tenor and soloist on the Firestone program and NIr Francis Flanagan noted violin virtuoso will add their talents to our concert in a selection of numbers which has made them famous Dinner for Departing Principal A dinner was given by the Mothers Club for Brother Hennessy on May 22nd Present at the dinner were the officers and members of the Mothers Club Speeches were made by Brothers Rice, Hickey Kostka and of course, Brother Hen nessy The dinner was given to express the thanks of the Mothers Club and Faculty for Brother Hen nessy s fine work during his six years at Power Comcndence Last year Mr Rood s picture appeared on page 149 Once again this year Mr Rood has garnered a spot in The Power and guess where he was put?

Their performance is expected to set a new high and also to provide suitable company for Power s prize-winning band. Power Takes IC B Freshman Meet For the hrst time in six years Power topped Rice and won the I.C.B. Freshman Meet. Notable in the Meet was the four wins registered by Don Bohan four first places that is, in the high jump broad jump 880 and 220. It was a first for Power in I.C.B. competition. Drackers win in the shot put ta 48' HM heavej plus the 50.5 showing by the 440 yard relay team, was all Power needed to bring home the trophy. For those interested, we won 545 to 29M for Rice.
