JOHN ROSSOMONDO is the very popular president of the Carolan Club and quite probably the most traveled man on campus. For the past two summers, John. has worked on the ocean liners United Statesi' and g'America', and, of course, John has taken full advantage of his opportunities to visit Ire- land, England, France and Germany. By the way, he purchased his little Peugeuot in Germany-where else? Next sum- mer, the c'Rose will attempt a globe-circling voyage on a freighter. The political science major from Haworth, New Jersey says that he will not be a professional student prefect or a Little League player-manager, or Dorm League basketball coach. Rather, he might try a career in public relations before using his organizational know-how as president of General Motors. CHARLES GOETZ is an outstanding scholar, runner and editor. Charlie, a National Merit Scholarship winner, will be remembered for putting out the most interesting COWL during our four-year stay at Providence. Charlie's stimulating Memo from the Editor column was only one feature of the paper that won the nod of professionals as the outstanding college weekly in New England. The class agent has spent some summers dabbling on Wall Street, and last summer, he studied in Mexico. The outspoken ed- itor also chalked up many harrier wins for Harry Coates. Charlie is thinking of attending graduate school for work in South American economics and related fields.

GEORGE BRIAN SULLIVAN, the G.B.S. of literary fame, is the poet laureate of the Class of 1961. Brian, as he is more commonly known, is a varsity scholar, hailing from Newport's De La Salle Academy. The bespectacled Brian proved his literary worth by becoming editor of the ALEMBIC, the oldest of the College's publications and the vehicle for some fine college wit and wisdom in both poetry and prose. It is not known who inspired Brianls own style, Ariosto, Milton, Coleridge, Cummings or Thomas have, however, been suggested by his many friends. Brian is also something of an athlete and has sailed and played tennis for Providence. The freckled-face student is also renowned for his sage classroom comments. The letters major will keep in the literary swing after graduation. He is planning to attend graduate school and take his doctorate in English literature, so that one day he will be able to return to a classroom on some campus and explain what Shakespearels Sonnets really mean, I9 FRED SETTE is occasionally seen on campus between sojourns at Regis College. The economics major from Hamden, Connecticut has been a willing worker on vir- tually every weekend committee here at school in the past few years and that's a fairly large number. Fred has been active in the National Federation of Catholic College Stu- dents and has been a class representative in both his junior and senior years. Last year, he traveled down to Louis- ville, Kentucky, for a national meeting of the organization and says that he managed to meet many attractive young ladies as he spread the good word about Providence College . . . but it wasn't all play and no work. Fred, when he can break away from Father Quirk's assignments and Mr. O'Brien's balance sheets, also is busy with the Art Club and Carolan Club in which he holds offices. On spc- cial occasions, he is also seen at Bradley's. Fred sccs u future in the practice of law, probably using his economics background to plunge into the complexities of corporation law.

Q- ' M55 an PIERRE WALLACH is a pipe-smoking history major from Woodside, New Jer- sey. Pete had an interlude in the U.S. Army before returning to the campus in his junior year. He made good use of his service time because he went to the Army Language School at Monterey and later taught Chinese to other servicemen in Washington, D.C. It was a change to return to the other side of the lecturn but Pete made the switch easily. Pete occasionally tells some hair-raising tales of life in old Aquinas Ceight to a room, Pete'?J and now he finds himself as prefect in St. Joseph's. He is well known for his track abilities but he couples that interest with the fine arts and modern European history. He pounds out Mr. Mullen's papers and his essays for Dr. Thomson on an ancient Royal and Pete wishes to return to the teaching role after graduate school for history. The knowledgable senior should use his past experience to best advantage. CARI. MCCARDEN-it was uCommander', at the Pershing Rifles drills and inspections. It was Colonel,' at the Tuesday afternoon R.O.T.C. drills. It was Best Cadet to his proud confreres at Summer Camp. It was 'tSocial Chairman to the dreamy-eyed freshman who attended the many mixers arranged by Carl. It was Congressman each Wednesday night when the Student Congress met for, one of its hectic legislative sessions. It was Pal', to the kids that he counselled at play- grounds and social institutions. His titles seem to tell the story of Carl McCarden, one of the most active and popular individuals in the class. Moving from one activ- ity to another, Carl would seem to have little time for scholastic work but as all history majors know, Carl puts in his hours of study. Carl is, of course, interested in social work and was recently Inter-racial Justice Chairman for the N.F.C.C.S. He is contemplating a future in business and hopes to attend law school.
