OF 03 Junior room 508 shows true scholastic spirit, the element which characterizes this class, by its participation in numer- ous extra-curricular activities. Leading the parade, of course, is sports. The j.V. bas- ketball team claims the brother combination of jim and John Cleary, while William Magoolaghan aids the varsity bowling team with his high scores. The j.V. baseball team is sparked by the apt playing of J. Cleary and J. Diamond. Turning from the athletic portrait of 508 to its religious and journalitsic life, we find T. Browne and A. Myers, cate- cheists at St. Matthews and T. Santora and F. Stangel on the staff of the 'fPurple and Gold, T. Santora is also a member of the Power annual. Musically inclined, J. Green and B. Maglione add their mellow notes to the rhythm of the Power Band. Bob Maglione is also the leader of the swing band. On the social side, T. Santora lends his artistic talents to the Dance Committee. During the year class elections were held. When the votes were tabulated, R. Rattigan had been elected class president, R. Paler, vice president, B. Maglione, treasurer, T. Santora, secretary. The intellectual phase of this class is typitied by T. Burns and R. Mulholland who consistently can be found gracing the school honor roll. As a typical Power group. SOS has enjoyed the annual affairs of the school. The extremely successful Power dances are a must on the room's entertainment agenda while such social events as the june excursion to Rye Beach and the Father-Son dinner were enjoyed by the majority of this class. This class like the remainder of their junior cohorts wait with anxious anticipation the fall semester when they will return as the leaders of the school and the pace-setters for the rest of the student body to follow. The role of the senior will be played with the utmost adequacy by SOS. It can be truly said that S08 ranks high not only in school spirit but also in scholastic aptitude and zealous ambition. A PROBLEM IN BOOKKEEPING is pondered by. P., Mulholland, I. Diamond and V. Zeccardi. Perhaps Mr. Spznna will give them aid. N1 , 508 AT PRAYER. T. Armstrong, A. Myers, and W.

Martin agrees as he looks up for the cameraman. 507 THE YD Y A PECTACULAR CLASS The boom cameras towered ominously as their shadows were caught by the multi-watt kleig lights that illuminated center Stage to its fullest capacity. The years of preparation that had been spent were about to see their culmination tonight. The studio technicians and crew members stood tense and all eyes were on that cubical on the wall as it lighted the words on the air . At once the maestro lifted his baton and the orchestral overture began. The announcer virily proclaimed that 'tThe Anyday Spectacular was on the air and immediately all eyes Were fixed on the stars of this kaleidoscopic array of art, the junior class of 507. At 8:30 the first act of the SO7 troupe commences with a French revue under the able direction of Brother O7Sullivan. Here the artistry of the conjugation and idiom are displayed. Next on the bill is Mr. Burns and his intermediate algebra act, which these juniors perform to perfection. The group keeps a steady pace through Brother Ryan's Religion, Brother Power's English and Mr. Keenan's World History. The suitable pro- duction number of Mr. Haczynski's American History brings 507's iirst act to a thrilling climax. Curtain time for the second act is 1:15 and the spotlight shifts to Activities Showcase where the polyphonic tones of glee clubber Gene Keeler and the bubbling medleys of band members Vincent Cullinan and Don Wilson can be heard. While Bob Zemaitis recites a selection from his literature in the 'Power' '56 g Bob McDermott, Assistant Sports Editor for the Purple and Gold, describes the court and diamond style of baseball and bas- ketball whiz, Dennis McCarthy and home plate heroes, Mike Fox and Bill Reddy. The curtain descends with the critic's wild ovation for the academic ability and showmanship of class 507. Shui, LEAVING FOR HOME AFTER SCHOOL R. Thompson leaves by the exit followed by friends-C.
