In it we have tried to recreate with words and pictures the life of the school. But not only the school shapes the course of our lives, World events and local happenings play a big part as well. Let's look at some of the l957-58 headlines. While school opened quietly at Rice where integration is as logical as our Catholic faith, in the South a legal Civil War was fought between thinking men and those who had sealed their minds with an unreasoning wall of preiudice. The City of Little Rock and Arkansas' Gover- nor Faubus were household words for a few weeks until news from Moscow gave the whole world something to think and pray about. Just as the U. S., including almost 5OO Ricemen, were recovering from the Asiatic Flu, Russian dictator Khrush- chev announced that the Soviets had launched Sputnik I, and, before we could recover from the initial shock, Sputnik Il, with its half ton of weight and its pathetic canine passenger, circled the globe at l8,000 miles per hour. Perhaps the Russians unwittingly did the free world a service. News of the satellites put an abrupt end to the Era of Complacency. At Paris, ailing President Eisenhower met with NATO leaders Macmillan of England, Adenauer of Germany, and Gaillard of France to discuss world problems. ln Rome, Pope Pius XII described the situation as impos- sible and called all peoples to their knees to pray to Him who alone is capable of the impossible. 1958 marked the lOOth anniversary of the Blessed Mother's appearance at Lourdes. Prayers to the Mother of Peace re-echoed throughout the world. In the U. S. another boon year was marred slightly by labor unrest and union corruption. The A.F.L.-C.l.O. cleaned house by expelling the powerful teamsters union and lesser groups. In New York the subway strike created transit havoc and the dreaded Mafia dueled for power after the Anastasia killing. Mayor Wagner was re-elected and the City continued its ceaseless cleanup of corruption, crime, schools and just plain litter. In medicine, the Salk vaccine was iniected into all who wished it. In music, Rice boys danced to the tunes of Elvis Presley, Perry Como and Pat Boone singing such tunes as Jailhouse Rock , My Special Angel , and Could This Be Magic . TV went wild over Westerns like Gunsmoke , Maverick , and Have Gun, Will Travel . My Fair Lady was still on Broadway and The Ten Commandments was still the top picture. ln sports, the Braves took the World Series from the mighty Yanks and New York lost the Dodgers and Giants to California. Floyd Patterson kept his boxing title and the Boston Celtics were rated the best basketball team in history. Notre Dame beat Oklahoma and Navy defeated Army in the year's biggest football games. Of course, there was other news. More happens each minute to make the old news history. These were what we thought important. At Rice, things happened pretty much as you see and read on these pages. IIIUE IIIGII Illlllll 74 Wost 124th Strool New York 27, llow York 'lik CONDUCTED BY THE CHRISTIAN BROTHERS OF IRELAND RMM llll'l'l1lll'l' o Faculty To instruct Rice's 875 students, a faculty of 25 teachers-20 Brothers and 5 lay teachers-spend 120 teaching periods and 40 supervision periods each day providing 20 classes with a philosophy of life and the tools of learning. Three regular confessors, a music teacher, basketball coach, school doctor, and registrar complete the faculty and handle important fringe benefits. o llnderclassmcn 673 teen-age students fill 15 classrooms, study a variety of 21 subiects for 38 school weeks each year. They are the Underclassmen whose pictures and names fill 32 pages of this book. Proud to be students at Rice, they study hard to merit the positions they have earned in com- petitive exams with hundreds of other Rice applicants. 0 Seniors The largest Senior class in many years-202 graduates-are pictured on 32 pages of THE EDMUNDIAN. Their accomplishments and ambitions are recorded under their portraits. This is the culmination of four years of training-filled with a galaxy of memories. Most were pleasant, a few were not. But now it's here-a moment to pause and look back. o Activities To add to a balanced education, Rice provides 10 varied activities- spiritual, cultural and intellectual. They are held during the forty minute activity-study time at seventh period each day or after class. Most students take part in at least one of them. All find activities a welcome respite from more taxing subiect periods. 0 Athletics To train the body, Rice provides an ample sports program for all who wish to take part. Despite limited facilities, Rice can boast fine inter- school track, basketball and swimming teams at three levels-Varsity, Junior Varsity and Freshman-as well as a handball team and a well- organized Intramural program. Both pool and gym are opened each day and on weekends to supply additional body-building recreation. 0 lteview Traditionally, the Review Section is the place where yearbook staffs put their left-over pictures. True to the tradition, THE EDMUNDIAN presents eight pages of passing glances at the minor happenings around and outside the school. lronically, these are often the things that one remembers most of all. We present these few to help your memory. if 2? l ,q t Avg PA ll E i 5 X law' . 4 conf O 5 I Q X it llllv 0 lilli VOLUME 11 THE EDMUNDIAN JUNE 0 1958 Rice will be twenty years old this year. And while a mere twenty is hardly an occasion for a soup-to-nuts dinner, we might at least flex our muscles a bit and reminisce over the past two decades and a little beyond. Since 1938, Rice had educated over 4100 students. Of this number over 1850 received diplomas. Another 1600, for one reason or another, left the school before graduation. The remainder are present pupils. The first graduation was in 1942. Hence, even the oldest graduates are still in their early thirties. Most have married, are raising families, and, although some have moved to all parts of the U. S., most still live in New York. Some died in World War ll, a few in Korea. Most spent some time in the service, almost twenty entered the priesthood, over one hundred entered the Brotherhood. ln recent years, increasing numbers have entered college for professional careers. Many, however, became policemen, firemen, mechanics, bank clerks, truck drivers, electricians, etc. It won't be too long before the first son of a graduate enters the school. The building itself is older than many of the students' grandparents. Built in 1891, additions were added in 1896 and 1921. True to the fortress-like construction methods of this period, it is still a strong building. Originally, it was a Y.W.C.A. built to answer the need for discreet exercise for the prim, Victorian ladies of this once fashionable neighborhood. Little did they think, as they frolicked in the gym Cbuilt in 1896j that someday it would be filled with noisy male students in a Catholic school! ln the early twenties, a Y staff member began teach- ing personality improvement classes to the recently emancipated ladies anxious to win friends. The young teacher was Dale Carnegie, later to earn fame as the author of the timid man's bible, How to Win Friends and lnfluence People and founder of a nationwide network of get-ahead-fast schools. In the early thirties, however, the Y moved else- where and, for eleven years, the building was used little. During the Depression years, City authorities used it as a relief check depot and thousands of iobless New Yorkers came here for a few dollars to tide them over. ln 1938, three Brothers and some thirty students started the school year in three, recently vacated build- ings across the street. Power Memorial, the previous occupants, had lust moved to 61st St. and Brother Ryall had remained to found Rice. By 1942, the old converted tenements Cnow demolished and replaced by the Sisters' conventj were too small for the growing school. So, through the Rockefeller Foundation, who now owned the old Y , the property became Rice. That summer of 1942, the Brothers worked unceasingly -moving file cabinets from the gym, emptying the pool of coal, building walls, painting, etc. The changes, in fact, have continued. Even former graduates would hardly recognize the building as the Brothers continue to make alterations. Such is the story of Rice-a live, changing place in these changing times. A GROUP OF HAPPY SOPHOMORES, above, display sopho- moric smiles for the photographer. The occasion-soph report card night. Minutes after, smiles turned to snarls when they received report cards. SCHOOL OVER, a group of students line the sidewalk outside the school while waiting for classmates who are subway companions. Only a few Rice boys live within walking dis- tance. Most travel for upwards of an hour and a half. ' Faculty and Senior portraits and group underclassmen pic- tures were taken by Mr. George Davis of Davis Studibs. All other pictures were taken, developed, enlarged and printed by the Camera Club ot Rice under the supervision of Br. R. T. Unsworth. 0 The EDMUNDIAN is published by and for Rice students. Layouts, copy, and captions are done by Senior staff members under the supervision of Br. R. T. Unsworth. This book was printed by William T. Cooke Publishing, Inc., of Philadelphia. Technical advice was by Mr. John C. Ursprung, Jr., ol the same Hrm. 'U' l ll MLK .i 1 2 T sh aft, 3 t ,.... E ' We lledicate . . . The words thank you sometimes comes hard to a high school student's lips. lt isn't because he is ungrateful, but, in his mixed-up adolescent way, a growing boy often regards such things as a sign of weakness. Too often, parents suffer the most from this deficiency. They give a boy the most important things in life. And yet-because they do these things in such an unpretentious manner, they are sometimes taken for granted, and so the parents receive the least thanks of all. There are almost seventeen hundred mothers and fathers con- nected with Rice. Almost one hundred and forty are parents of two students or of a student and a graduate. A few have sent three and four sons to Rice. The families average three to four children. Some students are an only child. Others come from large families of from seven to thirteen youngsters. One student-a Freshman-is the youngest of seventeen. Most fathers are laboring rnenftruck drivers, policemen, fire- men, carpenters, electricians, etc. Many of the mothers work to make ends meet. About half are from the old country . Less than a dozen are college graduates and many did not even complete high school. And yet, they sacrifice, struggle, pray and worry so that they can provide an education-through college, if possible-for their children. These few facts form only a part of the story. Each student, in his own heart, realizes the many other things he owes his parents. And since he is so often ashamed to say thanks, we gladly give this opportunity to him to offer a public expression of each student's gratitude to his parents. May God bless and protect them. AFTER A HARD DAY'S WORK, parents journeyed to the school to speak to their sons' teachers about their boys' progress. Above-a long line of par- ents and boys wait outside the classrooms to talk to the individual faculty members. Most had other children at home, and, although they could have sent their sons to public school, sacrificed a great deal to see that their children received a Catholic education. Belowetwo such parents speak with Br. Mcllmurray about their son's algebra. They are Mr. and Mrs. Cooney, parents of Freshman Michael Cooney. ,rv wifi SOME OF THE MOTHERS and fathers that attended the second parents' meeting listen to Brother Synan's words of advice regarding their sons, above. The Faculty found the parents extremely co-operative. They gave the teachers every bit of assis- tance they were capable of. At parent- teacher meetings, the words Don't be easy with him, Brother and We'Il see that he does it were heard often. ,ww A TYPICAL, INTERESTED MOTHER talks with her son's General Science teacher, Brother Morkan, below, left. She is Mrs. Bruggeman, mother of George in Room 44. Often, only one parent could attend the meetings since the other had to re- main home with the other children. The yearly tuition funds parents spent on their children could have been used for other necessities and luxuries. Yet, they sacri- ficed these things for their sons' benefit. AFTER MAKING A VISIT to the school chapel, Mr. and Mrs. Lagala and son Louis speak with Brother Maloney. Here, too, the students had reason for thanks. The fine religious spirit around Rice is due, in great measure, to the parents' own great faith. At right, below-A father, Mr. Lydting talks to Brother G. F. Murray about son Dennis's progress in Latin. Such interest helped the faculty keep the pupils at their studies. BROTHER WALSH, above, now stationed in Antigua, B.W.l., enioys a laugh with Mike Cotton l2-421, Alvin Tymes l2-433, William Terrell, and Olice Williams lboth of l-46l. Brief gas sessions after school provide faculty and students additional opportunity to know each other better. . f ' 1 . t b. 52.1 F l :S Q 2 fig if Q 9 BROTHER SYNAN DELIVERS a few words of advice and encouragement to a group of parents, above. Despite big-city school difficulty of keep- ing in touch with the parents, the faculty managed to contact parents by parents' nights, special reports and telephone. On their part, parents could call the school at any time. af! Faculty . . . lmir HSA' PREPARING BOYS FOR MANHOOD Since their founding in l802, the Christian Brothers of Ireland have grown like the scrip- tural mustard seed. Founded by Venerable Brother Edmund Ignatius Rice, tor whom this school is named, the Brothers now teach in every corner ot the globe. In the U. S. since l906, they now have over thirty establishments from coast to coast and are adding an average of two new schools each year. Yet the demand continues and the Brothers have commitments for new schools as tar ahead as the mid l96O's. Rice is indeed fortunate to have twenty such men as well as five equally capable Catholic lay teachers. Many Church leaders would wel- come a fraction of such educational talent into their local schools.

PATRICK N. SYNAN, Principal, has spent four years at Rice. This year marks his second as Principal. A Brother for over twenty years, he has taught in the Brothers' schools in the New York area, New Rochelle, West Park and St. .lohn's, Newfoundland. Brother P. N. Synan is Rice's fourth Principal in its twenty year history. The Brothers' Rule limits a Principals term to six years, but iudgirig by the succession of excellent principals Rice has had, there is no shortage of administrative talent. Inspired by its first Principal, the late Brother E. F. Ryall, succeeding Principals have cultivated a spirit that is uniquely Rice's. Brother Ryall's successors, Brother W. F. O'Sullivan, now in Chicago, and Brother W. D. Wright, now at Iona College, maintained the traditions established by Brother Ryall. Brother Synan has continued to instill this spirit in each of Rice's 875 students. Each stu- Chaplain dent knows him personally and, more important, he knows each boyfnot simply by name and room numberfbut about their home, neighbor- hood, school work and friends. Rarely in his private otghce, Brother Synan is usually in the General Office, signing notes, listening to minor student problems, etc. At lunch, he may be supervising in the cafeteria. At study-or any timeehe may be making his rounds of the school to insure that all is in order. By avoiding the big-school complex that could infect a school of this size, Brother Synan has preserved the friendly, manly spirit that has been Rice's own. sau- BROTHER SYNAN, above, lends a helping hand to Freshman Bob Adams ll-451, who appears to be having difficulty with his General Science. Despite a heavy burden of administrative duties, Brother Synan found time to teach Intermediate Algebra each day in 3-56 and was always willing to help students after school. I 'Q FATHER BURNS, above, guest speaker at the '57 graduation, gives some helpful advice to the 180 graduates. In the past three years he has heard an incalculable number of confessions. Below- Brother Synan enioys a friendly chat with some track stars who had remained after school to prac- tice. They are Ed Monteverde l4-74l, Willie Latti- more l3-56l, Bob Scott l4-72l lpartially hidden by Williel, and Bill Winston l4-73i. Few New York schools can boast a principal who knows the students as well as Brother Synan knows Ricemen. l felis Fc .XL REV. FATHER JOHN F. O'BRlEN is from nearby St. Aloysius Parish. Each week, in common with Fathers Burns and Ger- athy, he hears his share of an estimated 600 confessions. Confessor to the students for the past three years, he spends over six hours each Friday absolving and advising the students. an-imma REV. FATHER RICHARD W. BURNS, at left, of St. .lude's Parish in upper Manhattan, has been one of Rice's chaplains for three years. His zeal, coupled with that of Rice's two other chaplains, is respon- sible for the huge numbers at confession each Friday. Fur- ther, the large number of vocations harvested each year are in no small measure attrib- utable to their own interest in vocations. an-- REV. FATHER KENNETH A. GER- ATHY, at left, came to Rice almost two years ago when the burden of.confessions became too great for two Chaplains. He soon became a favorite of many of the students, particu- larly the underclassmen. Father Gerathy comes each Friday from the Nativity of Our Blessed Lady Parish at 233rd St, in the upper Bronx. Next year, because the efforts of these three men have made weekly confession a virtual tradition, another chaplain may be added. 5 BROTHER ST.

Seniors are too preoccupied with their own cares to stand around patting younger underclassmen on the head. Yet, Rice's over 650 underclassmen are just as anxious to grow in mind and body and someday to take their place on the exclusive seventh floor. To reach this goal, underclassmen study six tough subjects each year, taking difficult Provincial and Regents examinations. By third year, many find part-time iobs and girl friends as well as other extra-curricular interests that provide the maturity expected ot a Senior. Here, on thirty-two pages, are pictures and names that all will want to look back on.

They are Peter Negroni, Joseph Murphy, Patrick Kilcooley, Thomas McTiernan and John Carr. During the intramural season, every class entered a team with first and second year students entering two teams each. The tourney creates more excitement than some of the varsity games. It seems kids would still rather play than watch. Mk LOOKING AS THOUGH the cameraman had two heads, these five Juniors give their best smiles. They are Patrick Neilan, standing, George Reilly, William Alexander, John Hurley, all sitting front, and Gerald Madeiras, in back. All were in famous Room 3-56.

JUNIOR JOE SWEENEY, at left, below, puzzles over the mysterious Spanish poster that urges students to Remember the Missions . Signs like these were used to promote interest in the missions. At right-the discussion turns to the City elections during a chit-chat among Patrick Neilon, Rafael Ramos, Oscar DeJesus and Robert Renaghan. All are three year students at Rice. r I .,..-I JUNIOR THOMAS MANN would like to nominate another candidate for the People You'd Like to Torture Club. He'd like to catch the guy who dumped his books on the floor in his mad rush to get out of the room. The culprit is still at large.

Maloney was their teacher. ,V 5, X ar- IJ isr- SOME KIDS WOULD LIKE to be in this position. While most have a tough time iust working up ambition to study, top Junior student, Victor Maldonado, is faced with the tough problem ot whether to do physics or English first. Vic usually earns an over 95 average. xl JUNIORS FORM PART of the everyday parade on the stairs, above. These are: Front-Albert Berotti, Daniel Cleary and Robert Cevasco. Bock-Frank Moll, Robert Prunty and James Walker. The books they carry give ample testimony as to the amount of homework they are expected to do. nvvr 200 3-year men THREE JUNIORS, at far right, are framed in the doorway of their classroom. They are William Oberheim, Robert Cevasco and Raymond McGolderick. All three were top students and active in extra- curricular pursuits. 57's PHYSICS TEACHER, Br. Vranka, at right, explains a point to four of his stu- dents. The two students facing camera are Bernard Doherty and Robert Mc- Namara. Bars above their heads were for erecting pulleys and other equipment. DESPITE THE STUDY ROUTINE, there's always time for a little chew of the fat. Here Robert lnsull tries to think up a good gory ioke for his listeners, Victor Maldonado, Gerard Marsh and Robert Geary. Most of Room 57 intend to go to college when they graduate. kv- l is 1 J 1451-fx L -- 7 W' '5 r H W'g,1 S -' Z-Q -.

COMING FROM THE CLASSROOM lRoom 72l, Seniors James Van Nest, Bernard Kosman and Anthony DeConciliis head towards lockers to get their coats. Seventh floor was used exclusively by Seniors but one Senior room was on the fourth. enior The Class of i958 is the fourteenth to graduate from Rice. With 202 Seniors, plus four in Lakewood, they form one of the largest classes in the schools short history. Many fancy phrases and deep speculation could be used to describe the Senior's past four years and the uncertain ones to come, but our life is Gods secret and He tells us only a little at a time. Being quite normal young men, the graduates enioyed their four years at Rice. Although too timid to say so, they are thankful to their parents and teachers for all that they've done. Only God knows how often, in the years ahead, the phrase When I was in school will escape from their lipsfespecially to their own children. Whatever their ambitions or achievements, they have received the best possible education a Catholic training under the Irish Christian Brothers.

ELEVATOR OPERATOR George Rodriquez fights to defend his elevator from attacking hustlers who were hopeful of a free ride. They are Neil O'Neil, Gerard Holloran, Eugene Guerin and Joseph Healy. Elevator was only for teachers and some ailing students. GERARD M. HOLLORAN WILLIAM J. HOUSTON RICHARD L.

Bradley. Incredible amounts of time were devoted to com- pleting college forms, etc. Some Seniors tried virtually every col- lege in the New York area. THREE SENIORS LISTEN atlentively to the words of an NROTC representative who visited the school in an effort to interest gradu- ates in a Naval career. A few showed interest in the program which gave them a college education with three years in the Navy after college. They are Emith Fludd, Joe Jarkowsky, Thomas Mahoney. USING THE GUlDE keyboard in the front of the room, typist Don Rochford searches for an elusive letter. Most of the typewriters had unmarked keys so that students would not be tempted to look. JOHN FLYNN FINDS SOMETHING to laugh about in John McCabe's minor accident. Both were in 74. Rooms 72 and 73 followed an academic program featuring math and science. 7l followed modi- fied academic program while 74 and 47 were business classes. All studied religion, English, Biology and American History. Only two subiects were optional. enior FACE TllllllE-WAY l3IllllCE: BOTTLED SNAKES, frogs and crabs are iust part of a wide assort- ment of biological visual aids which are used in the biology course. These students are Patrick Hanratty, John Friedel and Eugene Mc- Donough. There was even a live rabbit for a short time-but the little bunny disappeared after a few weeks. NW x ' 1, . . 7 s il J...

From their lofty perch on the seventh floor, these Seniors lAlphonse Sligethy, Neil O'NeiI, Thomas Hastie, John Flemingl are watching the Juniors who were returning to class after lunch. AMATEUR PHRENOLOGIST Edmund Walsh studies the bumps on Emith Fludd's very interesting head to help analyse Emith's troubles. Both are in 71. Emith seems a bit dubious about Edmund's powers ot skull-reading. College ek .loh Service 41 . mmf -N L . tv.-241 J 'uf' CHECKING OVER A BOOK REPORT for Br. Bradley, Seniors Joe ww. Cotroneo and Robert Kitchen give classmate, Joe McQuiIIan, a few words of advice. All were in Room 7l. Book reports were un- popular but necessary in English. THREE GRADUATES RELAX on the robf-a rare thing since the roof is out of bounds for students. However, these three came ut the photographer's invitation. They are Charles Andy, Michael DiNovi and James Mulley-all of 72. YN SALESMAN CHARLES FITZGERALD tries to interest potential customer, William Houstan, in a new style school sweater. The soles pitch tailed this time, but many others bought school sweaters, iackets, etc., that featured school colors. L ,fl4' A Bi .sumon I aux, 'E' K. ugw +....: -.-1. JOHN R.

The routine is a rugged one and only Juniors are allowed home during the Summer. Seniors start college work immediately. However, the future Brothers did not enter religious life for a rest.

SW Activities for extra-cui'riiJular training To provide the balanced education and to give a brief respite from the tedium ot academic work, Rice provides an even dozen activities in which the vast majority of the students take an active part. The Apostleship of Prayer and Legion of Mary provide an opportunity for all to do some extra-curricular spiritual work and prayer. The Glee Club and 'Band answer the students' musical needs, vvhile the Drama, Ora- tory and Debate give excellent opportunities for students to learn the art of speaking vvell. The Camera Club supplies the pictures for the two school publications-The EDMUNDIAN and the FOUNDER. The Dance Committee and Senior Prom Committee organize chances for social life, while the Library Club helps maintain intellectual life. Most activities take place during the com- bined activity-study period.

Soon after, they began their work of providing regu- lar weekly catechism classes to the over three hundred public school children who came to St. Cecilia's and Commander Shea each week. For more effectiveness, the twenty-two teachers worked in pairs in the eleven classes. Catechism per- iods lasted an hour or more each Thursday for almost thirty weeks. Weekly Thursday morning meetings were held in the school library with Brother Unsworth as Spiritual Director. After the Legion prayers were recited, the assignments were given and the work planned and discussed. At the beginning of study period, the members left school to be on time for their two o'clock classes. lt was difficult but rewarding work. Many young boys were instructed for Baptism, First Communion and Confirmation. Others received basic catechism lessons which helped to increase their knowledge and appreciation of their faith. Undoubtedly, the work of the Legion teachers was the most effective activity carried on in the school. Jeremiah O'Callaghan, Thomas Lange, Peter Maguire, Dennis Conboy, Raymond Muesser.

Brother Morkan has been the group's moderator for the past three years. He supervises the class promoters to insure that everything is going smoothly. SOPHOMORE CLASS PROMOTERS, below, admire the excellent results achieved in Room 2-42. They are: Ralph Rosario l2-431, John Corrigan l2-421, Michael Vega l2-5ll, William Hickey K2-58l. They had iust completed tabulating the February results. Apu tle hip oi Prayer Rice's second spiritual activity was not as limited in its scope as the Legion ot Mary. The Apostleship of Prayer involved the entire school, since every student is a mem- ber and classroom prayers-particularly the morning offer- ing-are suited to the requirements ot the world-wide or- ganization's prayer plan. The organization of the Apostleship was Prayer and was in the hands of twenty students under the guidance of Brother Morkan. These hard-working class Promoters did the spiritual bookkeeping for their classmates. Each month they posted the intention cards, distributed the prayer leaflets and calendars, and kept a careful record of the prayers and good works performed by the students. Final results were tabulated at a monthly meeting and sent to the Apostleship of Prayer headquarters at Fordham University. The efforts ot the Promoters and the student body brought a special letter of commendation from the Organization's Spiritual Director. The primary purpose ot the Apostleship ot Prayer is to foster and increase devotion to the Sacred Heart and to the Blessed Mother. Although it is difficult to measure spiritual progress-particularly within a large student body -it is safe to assume that the efforts ot the Apostleship of Prayer were, in great measure, responsible for the fine spiritual life of the students. THE SENIORS were iust as careful about their totals as under- classmen. The four big reasons for this interest are George Rivera K4-72l, Edwin Monteverde l4-741, William Houstan l4-47l, and Michael Foley l4-7ll. Some of these boys have been promoters for several years. so ,...w.o.W M:- .

These students are, in great measure, the reason why Rice has one of the best Apostleship of Prayer groups in the City. Q, 1' - XX? RICHARD MUELLER SNAPS a picture and is himself snapped with the school's other camera. Mueller could take excellent picturesg did most of the development of the negatives as well as the enlarging work. Since most of the yearbook and newspaper were pictures, he spent most of his time in the darkroom. WlLLIAM HEINZ and Anthony Giangrasso look over some old layouts for ideas. Bill and Tony did most of their yearbook work on Senior section. They wrote sports for the school paper. ww ...E Publication The Edmuiiilian 81 The Fiiunilvr The Publications picture for the past year was about the same as in l957. Held in check by rising printing costs, the yearbook and school paper were limited to the same size and number as the previous year. The organization, too, was kept to a minimum. Since most o fthe EDMUNDIAN and FOUNDER are composed of pictures, the burden of the work tell on the school's camera club. The rest was strictly paper work-a time consuming and tedious task, Working on the axiom that students want to see two things in a yearbook or school paper, the staft members tried to do just that. Both publications contained a great deal of pictures with lengthy captions explaining what was taking place. Much credit belongs to the small team of Freshman, Sophomore and Junior spotters who handled the difficult task of providing identifications for all the photos used. Yearbook sales were almost lOO0fO and the vast pic- torial coverage included every boy in the school. The small staffs, under the direction of Brother Unsworth, performed an excellent service by providing adequate news coverage and, in the yearbook, at least, a valuable souvenir of our school days at Rice. TONY GIANGRASSO CHECKS over some fresh copy he has turned out for the school paper.

The Glee Club had tive part harmony with first and second basses and tenors and the young sopranos. Bass section was largely composed of older students whose voices had settled at bass level. The soprano section suffered casualties all year long with the changing voices of the young, growing singers. By March, there were only a handful ot Freshmen who could sing the high soprano parts.

The group, under the leadership of Mr. McGill, sang their annual Christmas concert from the balcony of Grand Central Station. The station waiting room was crowded with appreciative listeners and the group received a fine ovation. Brother Vranka, moderator of the group, saw to it that members were on time for rehearsals and took care ofthe music.

The fourteen member team was composed mainly of experienced debaters from the previous year. As a result, the club showed the benefits extra experience, particularly in actual speaking technique. Brother St. John, who was also the Oratory and Drama Club moderator, coached the group at their regular practice sessions. The national topic for this year was the thorny problem of Foreign Aid. Hand books, filled with pertinent facts and information for both the affirmative and negative sides, were distri- buted to each member. The first half of the year was largely occupied with practice and preparation of material. After the mid-terms, the group began de- bating outside schools.

TONY GIANGRASSO, Richard Mueller and William Heinz, above, all of 4-73, appear intent upon winning this round of their debate After several months of studying and talking about Foreign Aid they felt they knew as much about it as Mr. Dulles. r Debates were held with Power Memorial, All Hal- lows, Notre Dame H. S., LaSalle, Dominican Commer- cial and St. Lawrence Academy. Although victories and defeats are not as decisive in forensic circles as in athletics, the Rice students earned their share of individual and team victories. The annual Irish Christian Brothers contest held late in the year proved too late for yearbook deadlines, but, judging by past experience, the team could safely count on a few trophies. Many of the debaters used their experience to good advantage in the Oratory and Drama groups pictured on the following pages.

The book was Century Readings in English Literature , a volume filled with worth- while oratorical possibilities. llratory and Drama The Oratory and Drama groups combined their talents this year in an effort to bolster each club and form a more effective group. Membership was small and the well-coached members received a great deal of experience. Early in the year, Brother St. John selected twelve of the members to prepare for the presen- tation of Dicken's Christmas Carol. The play was adapted to half-hour program size, practiced thoroughly, tape recorded several times, and tin- ally presented over the school P.A. system just before Christmas vacation. The result was an en- tertaining, professional quality performance, com- plete with vivid sound eFfects and background music. The usual oratory techniques were taught and the group mastered the mechanics of dramatic reading, interpretation, recitation and extempor- aneous delivery. A number of the Drama-Oratory group also took part in debating and consequently received an all-around training. Later in the year, the Oratory group entered inter-school contests. Results of their efforts were reported in the final . 1 Sak' fs. RAYMOND CUNNINGHAM and Harold McShane check over their script for the Christmas Carol .

Largely through the efforts ofthe group's modera- tor, Brother St. John, the committee was able to secure the use of the beautiful Power gymnasium for the dances. Five well-planned dances were held during the year. They were well attended and most students clamored for more. Despite the tact that atten- dance was limited to Ricemen and Powerites as far as the male element was concerned, the gym was crowded for every dance. Funds derived from the dances were used towards financing the yearbook and for purchas- ing a tape recorder for the school's public speak- ing groups. The experienced committeemen also lent their talents to the organization of the annual Senior Prom. The hard-working group deserves much credit for the fine iob of organizing, adver- tising, decorating, and, of course, sweeping up in the wee hours of the morning after the dances.

The music books were geared for an entire band so that students could play as a group from the start. The ew llice Rand THREE MUSICIANS engage in some wishful thinking. Trying on the band uniforms which they will wear next year are James Harrison il-45l and twin brother John Harrison II-41I and Stephen Oberheim I2-5'll. The colorful green and gold uniforms have been carefully stored until ready for parade. THE TRUMPET SECTION of the band made rapid progress since some had had a little experience. These students are Robert Steiner I2-42l, John Harrison ll-41l, James Harrison l1-45l, Stephen Oberheim i2-Sll, William Whelan l2-Sll, Allen Bellel i2-Sll and Raymond Figueroa I3-54l. Most of the instruments were the property of the school and students paid a small rental fee for them. Over S350 was spent in reconditioning the instrumervs and the rental costs barely covered this. Instruction was free. Next year's rental money will go towards the purchase of new equipment to enlarge the band, particularly the bass section. 5s 2 THREE INTENT TRUMPETERS are hard at work during group instruction period. They are John Harrison ll-4'll, William Whelan l2-5'll, and James Harrison l'l-451. Afternoon practice sessions lasted about one hour. Students were expected to put in another hour at home-or at least until the apartment superintendent complained. 5 li ii? Rice was a noisier place during the past ten months thanks to the efforts of the new Rice Band. After an absence of three years, the Band was re- organized through the efforts of a new faculty member, Brother Lasik. Within a few weeks after school opened, the old instruments had been com- pletely overhauled and distributed to over thirty anxious students. Practices were held daily in the newly-painted band room and the auditorium. Within a few weeks the students were playing simple melodies and by year's end, the group sounded almost pro- fessional. Next year, they plan to play at school functions and march in the St. Patrick's Day parade. THE CLARINET PROVED the band's most popular instrument. This sextet are: Front Row-Francis Garthaltner l2-Sll, Joseph Kompel l2-58l, Gaetano Zitoli ll-4Bt. Back: Santiago Perez l2-58l, Robert Bishop l4-73l, Werner Lamberty l3-54l. The group received weekly instruction from Brother Heathwood, a teacher at Hayes, who came each week to give special instruction. e,Ny,,.- THE MELLOW SAXOPHONE SECTION makes music in true Guy Lombardo fashion. They are Gerald Gallagher ll-44l, John F. Walsh l2-42l, William Gillan l2-5'll and Joseph Gubelman l2-581.

Luis worked on development and priming and mixed the chemicals to be used. The darkroom was well equipped with a tina enlarger, three dryers, adequate trays and running water. Numbers were kept small because the work required training and patience. Many boys would find the work too exacting. FRANK BERNARSKI and Dennis Lydting were iust beginners this year but learned a great deal. They helped with developing when older students couldn't make it. The club turned out over 1000 prints. . . BROTHER UNSWORTH, moderator of the Camera Club and school publications, supervised the students' work and taught picture taking and development. He has been in charge of yearbooks and camera clubs for eight years. SOPHOMORE FRED MARTIN looks up from his print drying task to get his picture taken. Fred worked in the afternoons and Saturdays. The group turned out high quality work, made few mistakes. Many thought the finished pictures to be the work of professionals. They were surprised to learn that all work was done at the school. ll, -3 THE LIBRARY CLUB, as in the past, was small but very efficient.

Although frustrated by almost insurmountable odds against schools which enjoy larger enrollments and more adequate facilities, the fighting Irish played and fought hard in every sport. For them, the im- portant thing was to take part-an adage often snickered at today, but really lived by and believed in at Rice. ln the following pages, pictures and copy will tell of the victories and defeats of the Varsity, Junior Varsity, Freshmen and Intramural Basketball, the Cross-Country, Indoor and Outdoor Track, the Fresh- men and Varsity Swimming and the Handball teams. lt is the story of a well-organized athletic program in which the maiority of the students take part. SENIOR NEIL O'NEIL has eyes aimed at the basket as he sweeps past two St. Simon Stock defenders during a game in which Rice took an early lead and kept it all the way.

Next year he hopes to continue running with a college team. Above, he is pictured during indoor relays. THE VARSlTY'5 FIRST TEAM relaxes after the first race of the I.C.B. meet. They are: Robert Scott, James Brown, Winston Lewis, Walter Kristlibas, Ben Jimenez and Ed Gallagher. Most of the cross-country varsity was composed of underclassmen. Hence, the prospects for next year appear really good. Of this group, only Scott and Brown are Seniors. Cross-country proved the toughest Gross-Country Team of the three season sport. lt involved a long subway ride each day hills, and that best to Van Cortlandt Park, a practice iaunt through the rugged and another-even longer-trip home. Only really interested willing boys could weather such a schedule. Little wonder the Brothers thought the track team members among the boys in the school.

They formed a winning relay team. I V The X-Uountry Story Last September, prospects for a trophy-winning Cross-Country squad appeared better than they had in years. The season opened well and it wasn't long before Coach Mr. O'Keefte and moderators, Brothers Mcllmurray and Morkan began posting some promis- ing results on the school bulletin boards However, before the season had a chance to really get under- way, the squad --almost to a manfwas beaten by the now-famous Asiatic Flu. Virtually every runner, after weeks of careful conditioning, was struck by the virus. After a few days in bed and another week of rest, they were out of condition and the training had to begin again. Further, in a sport where one good runner can often make or break a season, Rise lost their best runner at mid-season when Charlie Garcia had to enter the hospital for a leg operation. The result was a comparatively poor season which did little but serve to condition the team for the Indoor season. I-lowevof, there were some bright points. Although the team did little in the Bronx-Manhattan-Westchester, the Fordham, St. Francis or N.Y.U. meets, they did take a Varsity and Freshman second place in the Man- hattan Championships and a Varsity second place along with a Freshman third place in the Irish Christian Brothers meet. Coaches and runners took the season in its stride. They faced the indoor season with more determina- tion than ever-a determination that paid off in tre- mendous results. A PICTURE THAT TELLS A STORY more important than a single race. Here--young Freshman Tom McNamara exhibits the kind of effort typical ot every trackman. Bob was running for all he was worth to regain a lost lead. Ricemen didn't win all the time, but they never gave up trying. W1 TWO JUNIOR MEMBERS of the Varsity squad, Rogelio Rodriguez and Pedro Danois, stretch their fingers over the ball before the Power game. Danois was a first-stringer this year. A terrific competitor, he should be one of the big names in the league next season. Tile Mount St. Michael game at the 69th Regiment Armory, which the Mount won, 64-40, brought the 57-58 season to a close. Although the Raiders dropped the maiority of their games C6 wins--T3 lossesD, they pulled some of the biggest upsets and near- upsets of the year by downing such power- houses as Manhattan Prep C71-69D and All Hallows Q91-90D and losing by narrow mar- gins to LaSalle C71-7Oj and Cardinal Hayes C59-575. Cther victories were scored over Dubois C5l-501 Cathedral C48-All D, St. Simon Stock C5l-391 and Xavier C7l-691 The small ten-member squad saw plenty of action all season long. The team had, in fact, what almost amounted to a ten-man first string. The three top players, pointwise and playwise, were John Robinson, Neil O'Neil and Joe Murphy. Their individual scoring records, as well as those of the others, are given elsewhere on these pages. Senior Joe Sullivan and classmates Tony Giangrasso saw action in every game and contributed many points and fancy plays. Juniors Pete Danois, Charlie Novak, Rogelio Rodriguez, Tony Bonilla, and Manny Torrado all had a good season and should be out- standing next year. Senior Owen Leonard's after-school iob forced him to drop basketball in mid-season. He was replaced by Joe Dechiaro who saw some action in the later games. ln their first year of play in the newly- organized CHSAA league, Rice did not antici- pate a winning season. The competition was simply too tough. They did succeed, through phenomenal upset victories, in becoming one of the most feared teams in the league. Much of the credit is due to the capable coaching and hard work of Mr. Sullivan whose fighting spirit made Rice the most hard fighting team in the league. Despite a losing season, Rice can be proud of the players themselves-the men who fought for the Green and Gold.

Top scorers for the squad were Higgins, McNulty and Breheny. The others saw plenty of action and showed real promise-particularly Steve Pratt who is growing as fast as he is improving. They should help the Varsity a great deal next year. J.ll. Ba keiball The Junior Varsity story was much the same as the Varsity's this year. A small, ten member team, they were up against some of the best teams in the City both in League and non-league play. With a 8 win, lO loss record they ended up in second division in league standings. There were the usual big victories and expected losses. Throughout the season, how- ever, they imitated their varsity big brothers' spirit, and every game saw them tighting every second of play. Dubois, Manhattan,La Salle and Hayes-the league's top teams-defeated the Irish each time they met, but not without difficulty. Manhattan's best win over Rice was a two point 37-35 decision. Their first vic- tory was by only one point Q35-341 Powerful All Hallows ran rampant over the Irish at their first meet- ing Q57-291 but met stiffer opposition the second time, winning by 7 points C48-411. Brother Maloney's charges showed some real po- tential against Molloy, Cathedral, Xavier and Power. Molloy fell 33-24, Cathedral 58-35, Xavier 42-40 and 49-34, and Power 3l-25. Individual scoring records are given elsewhere on these pages. Most of the ten man team should grow and improve in the months ahead and add real strength to next year's varsity.

Ab- sent were Simmons and Stell. The Frosh travelled each day to practice in a local public school gym. Often, they could not practice at all and had to play some games after a week away from needed practice sessions. They did extremely well desnite difficulties. THREE RICEMEN, below, had this shot well covered. They're McLaughlin, Neary and Reilly. Neary was shooting one of his deadly one-handers. He had a 10.6 points per game average and was a leading playmaker. -4 Fre hmen lla kethall The Freshmen team's record this season left all Rice fans with high hopes of a future basket ball powerhouse. The ten man squad finished sixteen games with ll wins and 5 losses in sea son play. Only two of the losses were league games, and with eight league victories, Rice earned a spot in the Championship playoffs. De tails of this appear in the final school paper. The squad did a tremendous amount of scor ing for a Freshman team. They outscored their opponents by 33 points, piling up a season tota of 751 points, an average of 47 per game. Vic tories included wins over St. Helena's, Xavier O.L.G.C., Power, Dubois and Bergen Catholic Neary, Simmons, Saunders and Reilly all tallied over TOO points each, with little Jim Neary tops at 170. All will move to the J.V. next year where they'll get much more experience. With limited practice sessions this year, they have done amaz ingly well. Next year should really see a cham pionship squad. BILL McLAUGHLIN and Bernie Reilly team up to keep the ball away from two Hayesmen, at left. Br. Vranka's boys played both Hayes Annexes twice and were victorious in all four games. Their only league losses were two games to La Salle. The other three defeats came from Manhattan ltwicel and Archbishop Molloy. 2 LQ Qi 5 .,?

Rice's green and gold uniforms were somewhat the worse for wear, and there were often not enough to go around. However, lack of money for uniforms did not slow our runners down. Indoor 'lravkmen win Track remained Rice's maior and most reward- ing sport this year with a highly successful season. In recent years, track interest and improvement has been phenomenal throughout the New York area. Just as college and amateur records were smashed throughout the world, so high school track became a succession of one broken record after another. Rice kept pace with the best of them and local high school record books are still dotted with Rice runners' accomplishments. Details of each boy's and team's accomplish- ments are given under their pictures. The grand total tor the Indoor season alone came to over lOO individual medals and three trophies. Rice entered teams in every meet and came home with at least a little hardware from each of them. The most rewarding meet was the Fresh- men-Sophomore championships in which the Rice harriers won 22 medals. '1 xt J F' 5 ' i THE FRESHMEN TRACK TEAM had both quantity and quality. Brothers Mcllmurray and Morkan coached them to a winning season. They are-Left to Right-First Row: Richard Orridge, Shean Jones, Joseph Pedro, Richard Armitage, Michael Mc- Cann, Charles Ryan.

Second over lllll medals-3 trophies Rice took part in the Bishop Loughlin Relays, St. Francis Meet, Cardinal Hayes Meet, the Mayor's Meet, the Fordham Relays, the lC4A meet, and closed the Indoor season with a good showing at the big C.H.S.A.A. meet in Madison Square Garden. The phenomenal Freshman 880- yd. Relay team entered every available meet and lost Ca close secondj in only one of them. The Varsity Mile Relay team took a first place in the tough Mayor's Meet. Walter Senior proved one of the best 600-yd. men in the City at the Ford- ham Meet and shot-putter Rodney Stewart took a first place in the St. Francis Meet. These are just a few of the team's accomplish- ments. They serve to show why Rice is regarded as a track powerhouse. Coaches and Moderators Mr. O'KeeFfe and Brothers Mcllmurray and Mor- kan were largely responsible for these showings and deserve much of the credit. Although they received no medals, they virtually ran every race in spirit with their charges.

Brother Kernan did a wonderful iob in coaching both the Freshman and the Varsity teams. The Frosh had a good early season, defeating good teams like Hayes and St. Leonard's. Varsity held their own against the best teams. Throughout the year, the swimmers and divers improved their time and technique. Practicing even when the water was really cold, they worked every afternoon 'til 4:30. Next year should see a Varsity or Freshman championship.

Players kept in trim by playing in their playing for several years. neighborhoods. Ilandhall FRANK SANCHEZ, above, a Senior, has been playing hand- ball since grammar school days. He's tall and fast, works well with partner Ray Duran with whom he has played for three seasons. Frank learned the game at St. Cecilia's, the Brothers' school on 'l06th Street. RAY DURAN, a Senior, below, goes high in the air after the ball. Ray played handball at St. Cecilia's before coming to Rice. He's been one of the tearn's best. PLAYING DOUBLES against the gym wall are top Senior players Frank Sanchez and Pat Russell, in front, and Ray Duran and Anthony Garvey, in back. Uniforms consisted of green shorts and Rice T shirts. PAT RUSSELL, above, a Senior, was one of the best on the squad. A member of the swimming team also, he practiced handball in between swimming contests. Handball Tryouts attracted the usual small group ot devotees who have played the game in parks and against uncornplaining building walls for many years. Brother Bradley, team's coach for the past tvvo years and an excellent handballer himself, held early in the year rehearsals until the cold weather called a halt. In early spring, the squad organized again and held practice sessions at the l29th St. courts. They entered the annual C.H.S.A.A. tourney late in May. Re- sults ot this affair are in the FOUNDER. At this writing, some inter-school meets were scheduled, also. Br. Bradley expressed hopes ot a winning season. With some three year veterans on the squad this year, there was every indication that Rice's team would do well against the best of thern. llioe vonlplctvs host svason in I' l l' R Z' V., S: OLICE WILLIAMS is all alone, 25 yards ahead of his nearest compelilor, as he sleams along in the Frosh mile relay which was the besl in the Cily.

Only a Sophomore, he should be one of the team's best in the next two years. He ran track all three seasons. BILL MURPHY FINISHED an active four year career on the track team. Bill was a top sprinter and quarter mile man for all four years. He should earn a college scholarship. Just' as the pictures on these pages indicate, yearbook deadlines make it im- possible to get the Outdoor season pic- tures and records. The season begins in early spring and extends until after the yearbook has been distributed. Full cov- erage, however, can be found in the tinal issue of the school paper-which is designed to tit right in your yearbook. The season outdoors is almost a carbon copy ot the Indoor season. Rice track- men stay with the sport all year. The team is generally fattened a little by the addition ot a few retired basketball players, but the pattern is basically the same. The coaches and kids had their sights set on the bigger meets of the season. They hoped-and probably will-win a trophy or tvvo and a sack of medals at the All Hallows meet and there's a good possibility that they'll take the l.C.B. meet for the umteenth year in succession. As for the really rough C.H.S.A.A. meet and the Penn Relays, they plan to garner at least some relay team medals. EDWARD GALLAGHER has been a track en- thusiast since grammar school. He was a good X-Country and Indoor-Outdoor distance runner. Only in second year, he has two more years to improve. JAMES BROWN, above, after passing a Mount St. Michael and loughlan runners makes ready to move past a Dubois man. Jim was part of the Varsity one mile relay.

Workout assignment sheets were posted each day on the bulletin board. Before runners left for practice, they knew exactly what their afternoon routine would be. SOPHOMORE BOB CONNORS at right, below, was a good half-miler who im- proved all year. He ran X-Country and Indoor track also. At left, below, Senior Kevin Quill ran the Varsity quarter mile. He came out this season to get in shape for his Air Force Academy physical. SHEAN JONES, at left, above, was a Freshman middle distance runner. Still very small and young, he has three promising years ahead. At right, Fresh- man John Andrews was the best all around Frosh sprinter and high iumper. I34 The great Ten members of the track team will graduate this year. With one or two ex- ceptions, all have been with the team for all tour years ot their high school careers. All claim that's the way it is with track. It gets in the kids' blood and, un- like other sports, the boys of all teams form a sort of athletic fraternity and speak a language ot their own. With one exception, all were runners and high jumpers. Only Rodney Stewart, a 6'3 shot putter was a one-event spe- cialist. Rod won a number of medals throwing the l2' lb. weight and was re- garded as one of the best in the City. Top Senior runners were James Brown, William Murphy, Robert Scott, Edwin Monteverde and Walter Senior. Monte- verde and Murphy were sprinters. Little Edwin concentrated on 60 and lOO yd. dashes, while Murph earned many medals in the lOO and 220. Walter Senior proved a most versatile runner. In four seasons, he worked in virtually every event, but was best as a middle distance man. James Brown and outdoors -Triwk Robert Scott were strictly distance men. They stayed with the mile and half-mile for four years, and, although they didn't set any records, they earned some impor- tant points tor the Irish over the years. Bill Winston was plagued with injuries from the end of his Junior year until mid-season in Senior year. However, he remained one of the team's best. Mike Foley, Kevin Quill and Larry Karadzas were versatile utility men who could always be relied on for that needed meet winning point. Among the Juniors and Sophomores remaining to run again next year are Charles Garcia, Walter Kristlibas, Ken Morris, Charlie Gaston and Willie Latti- more. They'Il form the nucleus of what may be an even better team than this year. Sophomores Ben Jimenez, Robert Connors, Nick Lopano, Winston Lewis, Ed McBride, John O'Brien and Jim Mc- Coy are already first place regulars. Bolstered by upcomers trom the Fresh- man team, they should form one of the hardest to beat teams in town. JOHN ANDREWS CLEARS THE BAR, above, with ease during an afternoon practice stint. John ran the 'l00 and 220 as well and won medals in all three events. He did the 100 in 10 seconds, the 220 in 24.3. ED McBRlDE AND PETE TOULON, at left, were two of the best second year runners and high iumpers. Toulon, who won 50 medals in first year, continued his winning ways. McBride ran sprints and relays us well as iumping contests. ERNIE LARINI REPRESENTED one-quarter of the Soph 880 yd. relay team, at left. In his first year on the team, he showed marked improvement. At right, John Madigan, only a Freshman, was a top 880 yd. runner. He also did some high iumping. ED GALLAGHER, below, rubs soothing wintergreen on his aching muscles before going out on the track.

They are the annual retreat, the talks, movies, dances, etc., that complete the story of a year in school. On the following pages we have tried to include as many of these minor events as space and year- book deadlines would allow. Later events are covered in the EDMUNDIAN's brother publication, the FOUNDER, which appears annually soon after graduation. Also included-some leftovers from previous sections and general interest snaps that at least include more students' faces which is, after all, the underlying purpose of the book. 1'9 ,N f' '21 SOPHS-mostly from Room 58-appear quite absorbed by the Graymoor vocation movie-one of the many films that students saw during the school year.

Yearbook Lestilter Near Uemplehen The Edmundian you are now holding is literally School Yearbook Material Lost on N. Y.-Phila. Train Rice High School in New York may not have a yearbook this year. There won't be any Rice year- book unless whoever picked up the copy, pictures and layouts for the book brings them back. The material was taken, either accidentally or by design, from a luggage rack on a Pennsylvania Railroad train between New York and Philadelphia yester- day. the 1,000 boys at the school, run by the Christian Brothers at 124th st. and Lennox av., Har- lem. The material was packed in a department store suit box. Ur- sprung placed it with his brief- case on a rack at the end of his railroad car. When he went back to the rack as the train arrived here, he found the briefcase, but not the box. Most of the material in it was Students Beg Thief For Their Yearbook Philadelphia, Jan. 15 llPl.-A thief lifted a box from a New York-Philadelphia railroad coach today, and 1,000 New York high school students hope that hc'll return the loot quickly. The stolen box held pictures and articles for the yearbook of Rice High School of 124th St. and Lennox Ave., Harlem. John Ur- sprung of the Cooke Publishing Co. here was bringing the copy back for its planned May pub- lication. Ursprung put the box on the bag- gage rack. The train stopped at Newark and Trenton. When it reached here the box had gone. On behalf of the students who HERE ARE TWO of the many newspaper clippings that appeared in the vari- ous papers after the theft. The Associated Press car- ried the story and many papers found it a good human interest item. Ironi- cally, the thief gave us more publicity than we've had in years. a twice-told tale. lt's a story now familiar to all Rice students, but we include it here just for the record. By early January, the hard-working staff had completed over l2O pages of this 144 page book. The pictures, write-ups and layout were carefully packed in an old clothing box and given to Mr. John C. Ursprung, the Cooke Publishing repre- sentative. The tidy box contained the results of eight months of hard work that had begun last June. Mr. Ursprung left New York that evening for Philadelphia, and, upon his arrival, discovered that the box was gone. A thief, thinking that he had something of value to himself, took the box from the train's baggage rack at some point in the journey. COne wit christened it The Great Train Robbery. D Every effort was made to find the stolen work. Newspapers, radio stations, T.V., etc., were most co-operative, as were the railroad and state police. On the following evening the Penn Station police called and informed us that they had recovered some of the loot. The students and Brothers conducted a two night search of the vast Penn Station but nothing more was found. Discouraged but not defeated, the staff im- mediately set to work doing the book again. Pictures were all reprinted, the printer supplied a new layout and, with what had been found, the staff was able to piece the puzzle back to- gether again. We never heard from the thief. The book most likely was thrown in a refuse basket and burned. All were grateful to St. Anthony, patron of lost articles, for helping us find the portion we found. Perhaps, St. Dismas, patron of thieves, will look after the soul of the misguided man who took our book. v-3 U. V' 1 'Y , bu t fllld 0-Unfit If And so-that's it. Such is the Rice story for 1957-58, or at least as much of it as we could tell you in 659 pictures and a tew thousand words. We pray that we have covered the story adequately, because a school is an ever-changing place and these moments can never be re-captured. Now, over QOO students will departfstill uncertain about their futures. In just a few weeks, an equal number will take their place at the bottom of the edu- cational ladder-and the cycle will begin again. Even the Brothersfin the manner of Christ, their model, may be sent to teach in other schools. We close this edition of THE EDMUNDIAN with the hope that we have provided an unchanging record of this passing parade. Keep and treasure this book. There can never be another like it. .
