STARVING STUDENTS of Power stock up on assorted sweets before leaving for their homes. STROLLING THRO GH 506 VVhen they finally decide to erect a me- morial shrine to junior class 506-which they really should do soon-your journey through it will probably be something like this: entering through a celestial arbor of roses, you walk down Brother O,Neill Lane until you come to the plaque lettered '506 in neat characters. just beyond this is the Flood Monument, dedicated to Joe Flood who played both varsity basketball and baseball. There is a lot more to seeg so onward to the Walsh-Warren, varsity aquamen. Now down Inzerillo Road to Beirne's Alley. This is in memory of those intramural bowlers-Mike Keatingf jim- my Beirne, Mel Kenny and John Strack. Then down a winding path to the Donohue Bridge. As you sit and meditate on this quiet, restful spot your mind travels back to the time when Frank Angelino was a school debator and john Brown wrote for the yearbook. As you start out, refreshed fully, trying to reawaken your senses, more nostalgia envelopes you with the next sight in view-the Toal Memorial. With a deep sigh you read this inscription, engraved be- neath the statue of a sleeping figure: Dedicated to Brian Toal who once said, the race is not always to the swift. Ah Brian . . . Strolling along Donagher- DeStefano Drive, you come upon Cornell Circle. This tranquil spot is reserved to commemorate all catechism teachers. On again, past the McKeefe Fountains, down Ostling Drive, and there it is. A sob catches your throat as you read, scrawled and en- shrined forever in cement, 'tFrank Sposato was here. Another sigh of emotion bursts forth as you spy the one and only pic- ture of Angelo DeVagno smiling, it's all just too much. Sobbing unashamedly, you rush past that room, consecrated by the blood, sweat, tears and laughs of a noble group. Walsh, Warren, Toal, Strack, Flood and McKeefe. They will live forever. K 36

CLASSES CONTINUED b X 4 s 9 gf. E SMILING HAPPILY R. Boyd is not as concerned over his lateness as worried J. Lauelle appears. CATCHING A PEEK at a Power Varsity practice in the gym are O. Morgan. R. Dillons, S. Polla and W. Foy. PREPARING FOR THE MID-TERM EXAMINATIONS are D. Faber and J. Gildea, H. Reilly and I. Bresher. They are seated on the steps waiting for the exams to begin. ASPECTS OF 505 It goes without saying that SOS is one of the most spirited junior classes in Power. Aside from being ardent students they also find time for numerous extracurricular activities. Representing 505 on the Varsity Fivew are Richard Boyd, who possesses a fine jump shot, and John Taylor, who specializes in set shots. The class is well represented on the Varsity Baseball team by Neil Abitabilo, John Taylor, George Freutlein, Pat McManus, Joseph Morgan and James Lavelle. William Barry lends his talents to the Purple and Gold. While George Doran, James Joyce and Hugh Reilly keep themselves busy teaching religious instructions. Although they carry on numerous extracur- ricular activities the students of 505 still find ample time for their studies. Because it is the scholarship class it is not surprising that so many members of 505 find themselves on the honor roll. The honor students of SOS are: Neil Abitabilo, Ed Calahan, Anthony Napoli, Ray Raemondi, Kevin Hag- gerty, Otto Faber falso class presidentl, Andrew Featherston. William Barry, Dan Hefferman and James McMahon. Brother Kelly was chosen the favorite teacher of SOS because of his easy-going method of teaching the intricacies of Physics. Brother O'Connor is also well liked for his fine spirit and relaxing me- thods in class. The widespread array of scholastic ability, hobbies and agres- sive school spirit personifxes the scholarship class of SOS. And these fifth floor scholastic giants eagerly anticipate the opening of their senior year 1957. LIFTING THEIR VOICES IN PRAYER during the Angelus are Langdale, Fitz- simmons, Burke, Comiskey, Doran, Hoynes, Haggerty, Hefferman and Brother Leader
