LIBR RY- CLASS WITH LITERAT RE The first period class in Powers library is composed of approxi- mately forty-iive members. all of whom have their favorite sports and hobbies. One of the main interests of the class is the Power J.V. The reason for this is the presence of Richie Meadows, a six foot, one inch, 160 pound pivotman. He keeps the class well informed about -l.V. and Varsity happenings. Another of the avid interests of the class is bowling in the Sophomore Bowling League on Wednesdays. Bob Farrell, Bob Wiswall and Kevin Rafferty are three members of the league from this class. The remaining part of this class spends its leisure time in the gym perfecting basketball shots. There are a few members of the library class that have their pet hobbies, further proving the old adage, t'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy! The most popular hobby is model airplane building. john Deachman has a fine collection of model airplanes, including a Sabre -let, while jerry Wojcik has four fly- ing models which are pretty close to the real thing. Then there are those who like stamp and coin collecting, two hobbies which can become quite expensive. Devitt Gilroy and Tommy Sarro are the proud possessors of fine coin collections. The supposedly favorite 'fsubjectv of this class is gym which is held every Monday morning. Mr. Kass, the official teacher, is also the Latin teacher of this class and with his ready-wit, he makes Caesar very interesting. With a class of such diversified interests and accomplish- ments the first period library class is classed as one of the more active groups of the school. Also a note of recognition is due to these second floor scholars and the important role they play on the Academyls honor roll. Many enjoyable and active honors are Waiting for these sophomores and they will certainly be rewarded for the part they play as members of Power Memorial Academy. LIBRARY: flst rowjr R. Meadows, G.

A PEEK AT 403 Freshman class 403 enjoys the reputation of being one of the happiest in Power. One of the main reasons for this, it main- tains, is the star-studded sextet of teachers-Brothers Feerick, McAdams and Dennehy, and Misters Spina, Longhi and Murphy. With whole-hearted enthusiasm, 403 has greatly enriched both the honor roll list and the extra-curricular department. Our contributions to sports include George Kelly, manager of the varsity and Charlie Weber, who maintaines the highest average in the Thursday intramural bowling league. We can also boasts of several athletes on the handball team. In the realm of activity we find Charles Klinger, Michael Ma- tusic, John Mahoney, William Gaffney, James Murphy, Barto Ramirez, Martin Hanlon, and Andrew Ryan, in the Glee Club. Both William Corcoran and Harry Johnson are active mem- bers on the staff of the Power . There is one activity of'403 of which we are duly proud-the collection of stamps for the missions. Bill Monaghan's zealous efforts have resulted in an extraordinary amount of stamps being gathered for the benefit of the foreign missions. During the year the members of 403 held a poll to determine its favorites in the various fields. It is with pride, and a bit of daring, that we publish the results: Brother Feerick, in a close race, just managed to beat out Brother Dennehy for top honors among the teachers. English, followed by algebra, then Latin, are the subjects of which the class is most fond. Taking an overall view of 403, you can see a well intergrated, and well balanced class comprised of both brains and brawn. It is no wonder that we are proud to be members of class 403. , if f CLASS 403: fback fowl: V. Hoban, M. Matusic, M. Hanlon, G. Reilly, G. Kelly, G. Kelly, J.
