307 UTOPIA The excursion was nearing its destination. For many months the little party had wandered over the seven seas looking for that utopia where the virtues of scholastic achievement and extra-curricular zeal reigned dominant. They had broken the frigid bar- riers of the arctic and they had pierced the tropical abutments of the equatorial regions in search of this academic haven. The group was nestled forbodingly in an ominous fog and the compass relayed that they were in the PMA straits. As morning ap- proached, the thin curtain of fog was drawn away to uncover the land which they were in quest of. They had found the home where studious applica- tion and cultural and athletic feats are rewarded. This was the utopia of 307. As the little party made its way to the barren and sandy beach head, they spied the athletic coliseum The shouts and victorious cries emanating from within bore witness to the physical and athletic ability of the island. Within the stadium could be seen great track stars like John Boyle, Bob Joyce, Jim Kelly, Dennis O'Connel, Frank O'Shea and Bob Lynch precisely displaying their ability. From the basketball sector could be seen Eddie Burns, joe Corey, Gerry Hobbs, Rogerrjennings and Matt Sin- nott portraying their court intricacies. Over at the alleys could be spied such avid keglers as john Far- rell, Mike Madden and Ralph Rescildo accurately flooring the ten-pins. When the little band arrived at the other side of the island, they visualized the palatial splendor of Cultural Hall. There, the melodious strains of Brendan Kizis bore witness to his musical talent. Also one could hear the virile tones of William Lahiff as he expounded his particular theories in true debate form. The rulers of the scholastic sector displayed in all his cultural elegance was joseph Aquino whose con- sistently high averages had elevated him to this coveted position. The little band settled here for after the years of searching they had come upon the home of cultural achievement and true extra-curricular ability-307. ANY MORE BETS, BOYS?

SCHOLASTIC BLISS I 306 A blast of the whistle, the casting off of the ropes and the hoisting of anchors accompanies the S.S. 306, with -her prow in the direction of scholastic endeavor, over the swelling aca- demic seas of Power. The vessel is manned by a sturdy crew of thirty-eight freshmen who daily scale the rigging and with virile stam- ina clutch the yardarms of intermediate cur- ricular. Her majestic prow is sprayed with the spume of Mr. Richardson's English, Brother McLoughlin's Latin and Brother McAdam,s religion. Respectively Brother Leader, Brother Rowland and Mr. Keenan teach the crew members general science, social studies and algebra. Since their captain, Richard OlHara, their first mate, Gerald McCan, and their treas- urer, Richard Snizard are lenient masters, the crew enjoys many shore leaves where their athletic and cultural desires are alleviated. Richard O'Hara and James Lawdor ably as- sist the freshman basketball team while Peter Moffit and John Antoncic sway toward track and Held prowess. Being the old salts of the crew, Joseph Frintor, Ed Radin and Kevin Cusker plunge into the intracasies of aquatic tournaments. Walter Meade, Donald Grabaz, Edward Radin, john Vincent and Vincent Durante add tothe orchestral lustre of the junior band, while Leonard Marotta adds his talented voice to the polyphonic virbration that eminate from the Glee Club's rehearsal quarters, the cafeteria. Thus the S.S. 306 docks bringing to port a scholastic tuned and aggresive freshmen crew. ,N Qhhwilggg s Q5 f ,QUEEN Ig r, S Fwy., ' r i NIU-19x X 1 ,Wg l X, - I if V 1 S 6 riff .
