S. competed like two boys in a rock- throwing contest as each tried to out-orbit the other. Meanwhile, both talked of peace as they watched each other like two scorpions in a bottle. News commentators were hard pressed to find enough reporters to bring us news from the far separated trouble spots. For reasons sometimes clear-sometimes vague-there were troubles in Cuba, South Africa, the Congo, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Jordan, Israel, Formosa, Cyprus, Berlin, etc. World leaders during '58 and '59 were Hammarskiold at the U. N., Eisenhower of the U. S., Macmillan of Eng- land, DeGauIle of France, Adenauer ot Germany, Khru- shchev of Russia, Mao Tse-tung of Red China, Nehru of India, and a host of other lesser ones. The world was saddened by the death of Pius XII, one of the greatest of popes, but gladdened by the election ofthe amiable Arch- bishop Roncalli as Pope John XXIII. At home, integration problems kept some schools closed all year. Alaska was admitted as the 49th State, and a strongly democratic congress strove to get along on an incredible 79 billion dollar budget. In New York, Rockefeller succeeded Harriman as Gov- ernor. In medicine, doctors appeared to be getting closer to a cancer cure. In literature, Pasternack's Dr. Zhivago was awarded the Nobel Prize. ln sports, the world went mad about the hula-hoop, the Yankees and Baltimore Colt: were world champions- In entertainment, the kids watched everything from Maverick to Zacherley of Shock Theater. The Big Country, The Last Hurrah, and Ben Hur were the best movies. Conway Twetty, Cozy Cole and Pat Boone sang songs like The All-American Boy, The Wind and the Rain and Queen of the I-lop. O Faculty and Senior portraits and group underclass pictures are by Mr. George Davis ol Davis Studios. All others are by the Camera Club under the supervision of Br. R. T. Unsworth. The EDMUNDIAN is published by William T. Cooke Publishing Co. of Philadelphia. Technical advice was by Mr. .lohn C. Ursprung, Jr. of the same firm. The cover is by Kingskraft Co., Kingsport, Tennessee. All editorial work was done by the EDMUNDIAN stat? under the direction of Br. R. T. Unsworth. At Rice, things happened pretty much as they are shown on the following pages. There were seven new teachers, 225 new Freshmen, T00 new desks, some newly- painted walls, and a new 7-UP machine to greet returning students on September 9th. Students came from over T20 parishes located in four of the five boroughs as well as from Westchester and New Jersey. The school had the largest Senior class in history. Seniors and Juniors found they must wear coats and ties at all times. I Other new happenings are described in the particular sections of this book. Though almost insignificant now, these pictures and words will have a tremendous value in years to come for they represent a record of one of the best years of our lives. We hope you will keep this book as you would a family album, tor each new reading will provide a moment of memories.

THE PROP pours over a stack of Spanish papers, above. For thirteen years, he has taught first, second and third year Spanish to literally thousands of Rice students. Years ago, when both the school and the Prof were younger, he organized many activities-especially dances to finance the track team's trip to the Penn Relays. FOUR SENIORS ASK for some help with a difficult Span- ish translation, below. They are Ed Abell, Joe Walsh, Ed Foldessy and Walter Kristlibas. The Prof's knowl- edge of Spanish and wealth of stories made him an interesting teacher. --tie PROF In the midst of a school's constant flux of new teachers and students, few things remain to provide a link with the past. Brother Long, a fifteen year faculty mem- ber, is one of the few permanent fix- tures. Professor Jose Lopez Velez is another. The life of the Prof, as he is affec- tionately called by all, reads like a mod- ern adventure novel. CThe Prof did, in fact, once turn down an offer from a well-known biographerj Born in West- ern Mexico, about the same time as our grandfathers, Jose Velez was the young- est of fifteen children. His father, a Spaniard, was governor of the province where the Prof was born. His mother, a lovely Irish lass named Murphy, was a woman whom the Prof venerates as a saint. Educated by the Jesuits, he afterwards enlisted in the service where he rose to the rank of Captain and aide-de-camp to General Huerta, the leader of the govern- ment forces. During the counter-revolu- tion, he was captured and sentenced to death, only to be freed one hour before the scheduled shooting through the in- tercession of the Red Cross ancl the U. S. charge d'affaires. After this, he accom- panied General Huerta to Spain, fought with Huerta for the preservation of the monarchy, and was decorated by King Alfonso. Life settled down to a more normal pace after the war. The Prof began teaching at LaSalle Military Academy, and later taught at Columbia University, Iona College and Blessed Sacrament High School before coming to Rice in l946. PROFESSOR JOSE LOPEZ VELEZ, Dean of Rice's lay teachers for thirteen years. AT THE 1958 PROM, the Prof renders When Irish Eyes are Smiling much to the enioyment of the Seniors. A talented singer and gifted speaker, the Prof could always be relied upon for a song or story. Rice has been fortunate in having such a dedicated, cultured, and in- tensely Christian man as a member of the faculty. fi it TYPING BEGINNER Ed Riordan l7ll has his efforts supervised by Br. Flaherty. At upper righl, Br. St. John delivers some English Lit notes. At middle right, Mr. O'Keefe talks to Mrs. O'Connor about son Thomos's l'l-44l report. At lower right, Br. Vranka uses blackboard to show what he means. On the next page, Br. Synan greets Mrs. Mraz, mother of Ed Mraz ll-431 and Joe Mraz l4-47l. Henry Adams once said: A teacher affects eternity, he can never tell where his influence stops. This is especially true of the dedicated men who admin- ister and teach at Rice, for the primary purpose of their efforts is to equip the students with a way of life that will lead to an eternity of happiness in heaven. To accomplish this task, the Brothers have dedicated their lives to God. To do the work successfully requires quan- tities of natural and supernatural virtue. They must possess patience, forbearance, stamina and wit. Regardless of age, they must be youthful in spirit. Besides pre- senting subject matter, they must learn the eccentricities, the likes and dislikes, and the character of each pupil. ln short, the Brother uses every resource-spiritual, mental and physical-to reach the soul and mind ot his pupils. At year's end, his work accomplished, he looks forward to beginning a new with another class. These men deserve our undying grati- tude, for they have truly affected our eternities and we shall never know where their influence stops. faculty REV. FR. RICHARD W. BURNS Father Burns came to Rice with the present Senior class. Each Friday, he travels from St. .lude's Parish in upper Manhattan to hear Rice boys' confes- sions. After four years, he has come to know hundreds of students personally. Graduates, too, do not forget his help. When he visited Iona College 'during their retreat, virtually every Rice gradu- ate on the campus came to see him. REV. FR. JOHN F. 0'BRlEN Now completing his fourth year at Rice, Father 0'Brien has been the spiritual advisor to hundreds of Rice students. The long line outside his confessional each week provide silent testimony to his effectiveness. He has been stationed in 'nearby St. Aloysius Parish for fourteen years. REV. FR. KENNETH A. GERATHY Father Gerathy is stationed at the Nativ- ity of Our Blessed Lady Parish in the upper Bronx. Despite a pressing schedule of parish duties, Father, like his companions, comes to Rice on his day off to spend over five hours in the con- fessional. An ardent Rice fan, he is constantly praising the Rice spirit. He has been a Rice chaplain over three years. REV. FR. JOSEPH WOOD, 0.S.B. Father Wood has been resident chaplain to the Brothers for almost two yedrS- During the past year, he filled the gap for a much-needed fourth priest to hear the ever-increasing number of confes- sions. He also teaches music lessons to many band beginners. From Mt. Angel Monastery in Oregon, he is studying at Fordham University. FATHER BURNS APPEARS to be looking for heavenly aid in a tight spot. Sitting with Tim Griffin and Marty Flynn lboth 3-53l and Br. Reidy, he is watching the Cathedral-Rice game. Since the future priests of Cathedral might someday be stationed with him, the poor padre wasn't sure who to cheer for. Father must have prayed for usp for Rice won. Chaplains ALONG WITH TEACHING, the Brothers assist Br. 4Synan with the vast amount of paper work connected with school administration. Below, Br. Kearney, Br. Synan and Br. Fish sort out the LQ. tests written by the Freshmen on Sept. 9th. ' W S... ...... .N ...ee ., ... M .. ., .ee h J Q . Principal REV. BROTHER PATRICK N. SYNAN completes his third year as Principal and his fifth year at Rice this year. Nearing his silver jubilee as an Irish Christian Brother, he has taught in the Brothers' schools in New York, West Park, and Newfoundland. A Fordham graduate, he also earned his M.A. degree at that University. He is Ricels fourth Principal since 1938. During Brother Synan's three years as Principal, Rice has continued to improve in many ways. Although the building's capacity has fixed the enrollment, the increased number ot applicants indicates the school's growing reputation. New subjects have been added to the curriculum, more students are requesting permis- sion to undertake stitt academic subiects, more graduates are entering colleges. The establishment of the Rev. Br. Ryall Honor Society Cas well as the dreaded Study ClubD has increased the spirit of study. The number of dropouts has dwindled to a handful, for Ricemen have a genuine liking for their school. Most important, the friendly spirit that is uniquely Rice's remains almost as strong as the early days when there were three Brothers and some sixty pupils. Further, despite limited finances, the building's appearance has continued to improve in ways that belie its sixty-eight years. New desks, typing tables, type- writers, venetian blinds, cafeteria chairs, etc., along with the almost constant dip of the paint brush have kept the school in excellent condition. By constant attention to such details, Br. Synan has been able to solve every problem when it was small. His ettorts, coupled with that of the priests, other Brothers and lay teachers have made Rice a truly good school. REV. BROTHER M. F. BRADLEY REV. BROTHER T. M.

All are in 1-41, Br. Madden's home room. Brother came to Rice last September from St. CeciIia's. He was also 2-46's official. Fourteen of the Brothers are native New Yorkers. Three are from Chicago. Br. Long is from ireland, and Br. St. John was raised in Butte, Montana. Professor Velez spent his younger days in Mexico, but the remainder of the lay faculty are New Yorkers. The teachers are graduates of many colleges and universities throughout the country-Fordham, Man- hattan, St. John's, Iona, Columbia, N.Y.U., Catholic University, Gonzaga, Northwestern. Many are still studying for advanced degrees in order to better qualify themselves. Realizing that the more they know the more they become like God who knows all things, and the more they can teach their students, the faculty constantly seek to advance themselves. Br. Madden, in his first year at Rice, is a former Rice student himself and a graduate of lona College, where he majored in Spanish. Br. Martin came to Rice last September from Bergen Catholic H. S. in Oradell, N. J. Mr. Mastandrea is a graduate of Iona College. Now completing his first vear at Rice, he attends Hunter College for advanced courses. BROTHER LASIK TRIES to get a point across about debits and credits to one of his Book- keeping classes l3-561, below. Brother come to Rice two years ago from St. John's New- foundland. He is a native ot Chicago-a fact that many students do not let him forget. MR. A. T. MASTANDREA English, Social Studies s ,.. - . . - .,T, . S BROTHER DOLAN GIVES some special help to three of his Latin students. They are James Paris, Werner Parthe and Thomas Smith-all of 1-44. The Brothers were always available for extra help, if needed. Some students received help reluctantly when the zealous teachers kept them after school. Mr. McGill has conducted the Rice Glee Club for seven years. He also teaches music at LaSalle Military Academy in Long Island. Brother Morkan, a nine-year faculty member, is the moderator of the Apostleship of Prayer and the Freshman Track coach. Mr. Murphy attended Manhattan College and is now pursuing M.A. studies at St. John's University. He joined the faculty last September. - All of the Brothers attended Irish Christian Brothers' schools. Four, in tact, are former students of Rice. Five attended Power Memorial and four are graduates of Leo High School in Chicago. The others came to know the Brothers at Sacred Heart, Cardinal Hayes, Blessed Sacrament, Butte Central and Iona Prep. The Brothers at Rice seem to inspire vocations to the Brotherhood. At present, almost one-sixth of the Brothers in the American Province are 'Former Ricemen. They are stationed in virtually every Brothers' school in the U. S., Canada, the West Indies and Africa. MR. MURPHY APPEARS PREOCCUPIED as he paces Room 'I-44 dictating English vocabulary words, below. He taught English to the Freshmen classes and to Room 3-56. Rice has MR. EDWARD V.

An average student, he takes part in activities and sports. He is well liked by teachers and students and, in turn, has cl genuine liking for the school. And, in common with his classmates, he found Lorna Doone u tough novel to plow through. The following thirty-two pages, contain- ing almost one hundred pictures, show three-quarters of the student body at Rice made up of over 650 underclassmen. They range from serious Juniors-like Sal Sarrica Qtop, leftj-to smiling, toothless ones-like Mike Flynn Crop, rightj. There are grammar school-like Freshman-like John Brennan Cmiddlej-and wondering ones-like Edwin DeShong Cbottomj. They may be intent, scholarly types-like Ronald C97 averagej Mueller Cnext pagej. They represent a cross-section of New York's Catholic youth. Many came to Rice because their brothers, cousins or friends were here. Others were attracted by the modest tuition. Many came sim- ply because it was a Catholic school and they wanted a good, Catholic education. Most grow to really like the school, for, like few other schools in this big city, it has the friendly atmosphere of a neigh- borhood school. underclassmen ii dbg Maxi iii li' SXSW 52 qu? , 16 im C1 5 15 MW 'fi' 5 lr W?

It permeates the entire school day with prayers before each period and at the beginning and end of each day. Every student is encouraged to visit the chapel daily. Many-like John McKenna Il- 4'lI at left, and Joseph O'Reilly Il-43l-drop into the chapel iust before leaving school. Religion period provides a chance for all to increase their knowledge of God. Students are given a solid course marked by regular assignments and special Provincial Examinations. Hence, students learn both to know and practice their religion. LITTLE JAMES MALONEY I1-44l, at left, unravels a mighty yawn during a before-school last minute cramming for Br. FIaherty's religion quiz. First year course dealt with the existence of God and the Life of Christ. During second year, Sophs cover the sacraments, the Mass, and Church His- tory. Juniors cover the Commandments and the Precepts of the Church and the Theological and Moral virtues. Seniors examine the church teach- ing of various moral and social problems-with special treatment of the problem of the right voca- tion in life and the Sacrament of Marriage. At right, Rafael Garcia I1-45l reads his text, The Way, the Truth and the Life, to the class. FOLLOWING RELIGION PERIOD, some scholars from Room 1-43 head for the cafeteria, at left. They are lin frontl: Eugene Martin, James McCaffery, James Moran. ln back--Thomas Maroney and John Mirabile. At right, eager-beaver collector Patrick Doherty uses police tactics to get some mis- sion money from Douglas Mitchell while Brendan Minoque looks happily on. Picture was iust a gag. Students throughout the school gave gener- ously to the missions without being frisked. Small collection of extra pennies was taken each day during religion period. Funds raised go to the support of the Brothers' missions in Africa and the West Indies. Super-generous Room 45 even sent Br. Dolan, their algebra teacher, to the Brothers' mission in South Africa. THE LANGUAGES . .. i pf'x IN A EFFORT TO DEVELOP Viceroy-like thinking' men, Rice went all out to get the students to read. Study period became a reading period and Eng- lish teachers assigned a good stack of books for students to devour. Object of the drive was to develop students' interest and reading ability. The school library provided a wealth of good material. Here, Richard Walsh ll-42t pours over a hefty book dealing with the Civil War. STUDENTS COMPARE their handiwork and learn Latin as well. Brother Dolan had each boy make a set of flash cards to help him memorize his vocabulary. Latin is taught in three Freshman classes. Students consider it their toughest subiect but are happy they have it when it comes time for college. Shown here are Al- fred Pfeiffer and Philip Funchion lin frontl and William Twomey and Hugh Agar in back. All are in Room l-44. FOUR FROSH from 44 admire Ed- ward Unser's sharp string tie. They are Albert Connelly, John Quinn and Louis De Amicis. Freshmen were famous for coming early to school. Many were in class by a few minutes after eight. Some, like these, iust gabbedp others studied for tests or tried to sneak in some last minute homework. The Brothers, however, were always around iust as early to catch such delinquents. Frosh Study Latin and English .., LOOKING IN ON THE REST of the class are Daniel Shine, Anthony Negaro and John Sasso, all of 1-42. Landing out- side the room on fourth floor provided an ideal perch for pictures. Downtown Manhattan is in the background. THE LIBRARY PROVIDES a pleasant place to read some of the required books for Freshman English. Here, Ranault Goodson ll-421, Jdhn Sasso ll-42l, Maurice Vosges ll-45i and John McKenna ll-41l peruse the latest library offerings. Reading program proved successful and student interest im- proved. STUDIES PROVED TOO MUCH for this poor Frosh who is getting little sympathy from Thomas Murray, Denis Grady, Thomas lynott, John Denlea-all of 1-45. Poor soul had iust received his report card. Some people find it difficult to accept failures. The body was later moved to Study Club to serve as a visual aid. Z JAMES DYER PERFORMS a simple science experiment for the benefit of classmates Arthur Cavanagh and John Hughes- all of 'I-45. Freshmen found science interesting, if some- what magical at times. This experement illustrated atmos- pheric pressure. GENERAL SCIENCE FRESHMEN COME IN ALL SIZES. Here, little Jim Loggie looks up to classmate Eric Steele. Both are in 1-43. Loggie, cu mere 80 pounds, was a speedy sub-midget sprinter. Steele, with over 200 pounds of solid muscle, was a top-notch shout-putter.

Freshmen delighted in lab workp performed simple experiments and watched more difficult ones being done by the teacher. These students were learning the facts about specific gravity. Whenever his track duties allowed, Mr. O'Keefe remained in the lab to help future scientists. WHOEVER SAID ALGEBRA WAS EASY?

JUNIORS-MOSTLY FROM 3-52-LISTEN INTENTLY to speaker during an infrequent assembly in the auditorium. Generally, Juniors studied harder than ever before.

Rice's seventeenth graduating class is the largest in the school's history. lt brings the number of graduates close to the two thousand mark. The 219 young men pictured here began at Rice as one of the largest Freshmen classes. They numbered 248. Over the years, the usual number moved to other cities, entered seminaries or Brotherhoods or simply left school. The nine from this class in the Irish Christian Brothers Csee pps. 80-Slj have been included among the graduates. Some new students replaced the transfers for much the same reasons, but the class had one of the best per- severance rates in history. More Seniors than ever are planning to go to college. Others will seek em- ployment with tirms who, from past experience, have come to welcome Rice graduates. A few will enter the service directly where they hope to get some career training. Whatever their ambitions, Rice gradu- ates will have a unique advantage, for the training they have received has placed them a big step ahead of their fellow graduates elsewhere. seniors Q EDWARD J.

The following twenty-four pages show another phase of life at Rice. The school has a wealth of extra-curriculur activities to provide a mental and physical tran- quilizer for the growing students' active minds. Further, learning to sing, to speak, to dance, to play an instrument, etc., are all necessary talents that produce a well- rounded student. Rice is not a finishing school for future playboys, but in today's complex civilization, a boy must be pre- pared to do many things. His future changes with the news of the day. Scho- lastic endeavor provides the framework, extra-curricular pursuits bridge the gap between learning and application of this acquired knowledge. Over four hundred students participate in one or more activities during study period or after school. They form the needed pause that refreshes in a stu- dent's busy day. f-Q...-f' activities -,, i lil MQ iiii 'fi in f,'n ?- A i V K ..,, fiztvv' it 13.

APUSTLESHIP UF PRAYER The Apostleship ot Prayer organization actually involves the entire school. Students pictured on these pages formed the ottice staff ot the organization. Theirs was the task of distributing monthly intention sheets, posters and communion pledge sheets. The Promoters in each room tallied the intentions and pledges and posted them on the bulletin board in their respective classes. Brother Morkan completed the school totals and forwarded them to the vvorld-wide Apostleship ot Prayer headquarters at Fordham University. The well-run prayer league served as an excellent reminder to all students of the necessity ot frequent communion, daily prayer and sacrifice. THREE JUNIORS, at left, check their totals. They are Michael Vega, Louis Casabianca and Anthony Garvey. They're from 54, 52, and 56 respectively. At right, Martin Patten l42l, tries to get an extra intention sheet from Edward Cadigan l41l. .lohn Conway l44l pre- tends to ignore it all. TNQ.

Oberheim, a honor student for four years, wanted to debate in order to develop good oratory techniques and acquire confidence. Debating other schools began after the mid-term exams. RAYMOND DARIA I4-71l, al far right, was one of the few Seniors on the debate squad. Unfortu- nately, numbers are small because most find it diffi- cult to devote the necessary time, or are engaged in other activities. Tentative debates were sched- uled with several schools. HAROLD VICTOR of 3-57, at near right, ioined the forensic club this year. Here, he is pictured-like all others-during a practice session in the library. The team had hopes of meeting Power Memorial, All Hallows, LaSalle, St. Lawrence Academy and a few girls' schools during the debating season. Last year, the team fared pretty well against more ex- perienced schools. FRANCIS KOBE, at far right, another Junior from 3-54, quotes from a book to make his point. Fran- cis, a serious student, liked the debating and worked hard at it. Brother Kelly had hopes of entering the team in the I.C.B. Oratory and Forensic Con- test at Iona College. Final results of this will be found in the graduation issue. Team did oratorical work as well as debating. ,,.. 21 ., A PICTURE OF A PICTURE. At left, Charles Garcia hunches over the camera while staff member .loe Capohianco tells him what to shoot as they snap a picture of Seniors Joe Murphy, Pat Kilcooley, Pat Mannion, and Jim Kennedy. Garcia took some pictures, did developing and pro- vided information about the track. Capobianco covered basketball. a n d BOB McALLISTER l74l POSES with another Rice publication. He served as a model for many pictures taken at the school for the Brothers' vocation publicity. He appeared on the cover of this one. THOMAS BRENNAN, FRANCIS GARTHAFFNER AND WALTER PROBST check over the Senior portrait appointment list. These three did a great deal of paper work connected with the yearbook such as sorting pictures, marking envelopes, etc. li! THE PRIOR BROTHERS, Patrick l57l and John i58l look over the yearbook layout. They organized the Senior section of the book -numbering pictures and copy. Most staff members came from 3-57 which was Brother Unsworth's ofticial. TWO OF THE MANY STUDENTS who nelped the yearbook by serv- ing as spotters for their classp At least one boy from each class performed the task of identifying faces in the hundreds of pictures. Names were written in three large notebooks and provided easy reference source for editors. ANTHONY DeNUNZlO ADMIRES the skill of James Driscoll who had the boring task of stamping all the pictures. Room 3-57 was ideal as yearbook stafters. They completed much of the work during reading period when iobs were handed out to anyone who had completed their work.

They are: Michael Corrigan l42l, Rocco Mongelli l4'll, Richard McNulty l42l, Peter Sullivan ll-41. Students were allowed in the library at reading period, could take books out for two weeks. JOHN McGURRlN and Dennis Desmond reorganize the history section in an effort to make room for more new books. The intensive reading program introduced during study period this year forced the students to use the library more than ever before. It was open during the reading period and after school. Club members checked, stamped, and repaired books. l BROTHER LONG POSES with his small but efficient library staff, at right, they ore: John McGurrin, Rob- ert lnsull, John Harrison and Dennis Desmond. In- sull, a Senior, has been a member for four years. Brother Long has been the school's librarian for tif- teen years. Much of the stal f's time is taken with the painful task of visiting the classrooms to re- mind slow readers that their books are overdue. Money collected from lines was used to purchase new books. riffs STTE ' ez Q1 QA ss MWA K 53, L 1 W :.', Tw W imsxfism. .

Rice's limited campus-fifteen feet of City sidewalk-would cause even a chess coach to howl in anguish. Yet, despite the liabilities imposed by this crowded little island, Rice's sports program is com- parable to schools which boast golf course-like settings. The Fighting Irish have three inter-school basketball teams and an intramural basketball program that attracts over two hundred boys. The var- sity and Freshmen track teams occupy an- other hundred. Swimming, Handball, and Bowling provide physical outlets for another hundred or more. The newly- painted gym and spotless swimming pool are in constant use-before school, after school, weekends and holidays. Rice hasn't got the best basketball team in the City. Yet, visiting coaches shudder when they think ot the upsets that the Irish have pulled. Although the track teams must travel every day to prac- tice in armories or parks-and sometimes in the school corridorsethey rarely re- turn trom a meet without a respectable percentage ot the loot.

Watch- ing the vast human herd coming across the flats of Van Cortlandt Park, one would think the seventeen-year locusts had re- turned. With hundreds of able runners competing for a handfull of medals and a single trophy, a gambling man would be better advised to stick to the numbers. Rice has seldom been outstanding in X-Country. The best they can hope tor is the-occasional standout. For the others, the season provides an excellent oppor- tunity to get in shape for the indoor and outdoor seasons. Although Rice entered every meet, they finished in the money in only one. Yet, no one was unhappy. The season served its purpose and the team got a lesson in hard competition. THREE RICE HARRIERS enter the hills together after crossing the flats of Van Cortlandt Park. They are Martin Patten, John Fong and Arthur Fludd. Just behind them-another Frosh, Thomas Agar. Occa- sion was the l.C.B. meet in which Frosh did well. Brothers' new school in Schenectady came down to take this one. ,Ps if rs.. The Irish had Two standouts this year. Number One was Frosh miracle-man Joe McMahon. He ran every race against a clock, since his nearest competitor would need a motorcycle To keep up with him. Joe vvon each race by a margin Wider than Frosh coach Brother Nlorkan's smile. There's no Telling what he'll do during The next Three years. John Callahan and John Durkin were also beTter-than- average Frosh runners. The Three should form The nucleus ot a great Varsity squad. Charlie Garcia proved one ot the best X-Country men in the City. In meets that featured hundreds ot runners, he finished 'among The Top ten every time-running a steady 13:50 To 60. When indoor season got under way a few weeks laTer, the X-Country efforts paid OFI, for the Irish were in Top shape. TALKING THE RACE OVER are J.V. runners Ken Peeples, Thomas Smith, Peter Krebbs and Richard Armitage. All are two years veterans and top students. Smith was the most improved runner on squad. Smith cut his time by several seconds each time he ran, was close to 14:40 by season's end. All four ran track all year long. ' 1 ' I ,Y 1 ,' ' -1. ' ' v . . i X -ff' 9 .. 0 Ear-T 3, 7- ,..

They're Bob Adams, Bob Grettler and Tim Nihil. The J.V. had only six players for this game. For the first three quarters, Rice led most of the way. How- :vleg5Manhattan's big bench enabled them to substitute freely. Final score was BOB ADAMS DRIBBLES TOWARD SCORING TERRITORY, at left, during Manhattan game in which he scored 9 points. Adams captained the squad during Jim Neary's absence. Al right, Bob Grettler edges away from the basket as he attempts a hook sltot. He scored 70 points in TT games, improved with each game. THE NINE MAN SQUAD look sharp in the new uniforms they acquired when the varsity received new ones. They are, left to right, front: Donald Collins, An- tonio Colon, Robert Adams, Benito Torres, Frank Panzarella. Back: James Neary, Timothy Nihil, Nicholas Saunders, Robert Grettler. Brother Vranka coached and moderated the team . l.V. BASKETBALL The J.V. presented the classic example of a real-life underdog this year. The underdog only wins in the movies, un- fortunately. Despite great spirit, the lrish were simply outclassed in every game by teams who boasted many experienced, flagpole type hoopsters who would easily make Rice's varsity. Not one of Rice's Tl-man squad came near six feet and most were built like Freshmen rather than Sophomores. It was simply a question of men against boys and most of the games were not even close. At the start of the season, Rice beat Cathedral 24-2l. A second win came against Power, 37-36. The rest of the record makes sad reading indeed. Rice lost twice to All Hallows Q44-30, 6T-QLD, Xavier Q52-35, 44-310, Hayes C45-28, 5l-TBD, Manhattan C54-QT, 43-251 and suffered single losses to Molloy Q55-AT D, St. Helena's Q49-AAU, La Salle C39-26j, Power C42-375. The individual players showed real promise, however. With few varsity players graduating and some really prom- ising Freshmen on the Frosh team, it looked good for next year's varsity and J.V. Captain Jim Neary scored an amazing T56 points in T3 games, Bob Grettler and Bob Adams averaged 8 points per game, while Nick Saunders and Frank Panzar- ella averaged 5 to 6 each fracas. Don Collins saw action in only about half the games, as did Tim Nihil, Ben Torres and Bill Starr. However, all showed a marked improvement during the season. Far from being disappointed, Brother Vranka praised the boys' efforts. Judg- ing by the opposition they faced each game, he said, the boys played tre- mendous ball. The boys themselves re- fused to be discouraged. They practiced faithfully and played their hearts out for the full 32 minutes of every game. League referees and coaches commented on their fine spirit. Despite a poor record book showing, Rice, indeed, had reason to be proud of the little Irish. 3 I Y V i bf yciul t,.ui. I 5 - : . g ': 1f LL I. i x l ,,,' I i Tl. Nw K ENTIRE TEAM GATHERS AROUND coach Brother Kent during a time out at the O.L.G.C. game which the Irish won 43-41. The Freshmen had one of their best years in a long time. Frosh had the usual difficulties of trying to find time and places for practice. Brother Kent was ill for several weeks of the season, but the team still managed to have a highly successful year. FRESHMEN BASKETBALL For the second season running the Freshmen team outdistanced its older brothers on the .l.V. and Varsity and came up with the best record of all. Despite the lack of practice time and space the Frosh compiled an enviable record. Because the season was lengthened by big gaps between games, the season ended long after yearbook deadlines. At this writing, the team had won eight games and lost only tour. Seven of the eight wins were in C.H.S.A.A. competition and only one ot the losses was a league tilt. The team defeated Dubois and Xavier twice and scored single victories over Power, O.l..G.C., Stepinac and St. Agnes. Only league loss was to power- tul La Salle whom Rice hoped to topple at their second meeting. Win or lose, Rice was certain to enter the play- offs where they stand a better than even chance of taking second, or even tirst, place. Coach Brother Kent claimed the team had great varsity potential. Final results of the season may be found in the special yearbook supplement. THERE WAS NO SHORTAGE of team spirit on any Rice squad. Above, four Frosh substitutes lend a mighty cheer as the Irish score again. They are: Patrick Tooman, William Clair, Francis McGuiness and John Purcell. The ten man team assured all of seeing action in every game. Frosh record speaks well for the years ahead. THOMAS MURRAY DRIBBLES FAR to his left to avoid two Xavier defenders. Rice toppled Xavier twice this year, this time by 'I2 points, 57-45. Murray accounted for six points in this one. Team lost close, non-league games to Hayes and All Hallows.

This year, the team remained one ot the powerhouses of the City. The ten-month sport is so many-sided that only a partial picture can be given here. ln- dividual accomplishments are given under the over seventy-tive pictures in the three track sec- tions. Final tallies of all the victories and glitter- ing loot are in the yearbook supplement. The squad, which listed almost TOO hopefuls during the year, participated in over thirty maior meets, some nation-wide in scope-including the Penn Relays, The Nationals, The ICAA, Mayor's Meet, etc. Collectively, the lrish earned over ten tro- phies and an estimated 300 medals. Most encour- aging tact was that most ot the team was com- posed ot underclassmen. Even bigger things are expected next year. THE FRESHMAN MILE RELAY TEAM, above, took second place in the CHSAA meet. Time: a very good 3:48. They are: Joe McMahon, John Durkin, John Callahan, John Mirubile. Below, three veterans practice their starts in the school cor- ridor lused when armory was closedl.

They're Albert Con- nolly, Gerry Twomey, Thomas Donlon, Thomas Lynott. Their best time-S57 seconds. Below them is John Callahan shown at the start of the 880-yd. relay team. Callahan was one of the best Frosh in the City. He ran the mile in less than five minutes. BROTHER MORKAN SUPERVISES u hallway practice while talk- ing to Olice Williams and William Terrell. Brother coached the Freshman team and helped moderate the varsity. A nine year faculty member, he is a virtual dictionary on all sports- but track remains his favorite. Like Br. Doyle and Mr. O'Keefe, he worked harder than most of the runners. THE FRESHMAN 880-YD. RELAY were among the best. They ran a very good 1:44, improved with each meet. They are Dominic Cousins, William Morrow, Robert Armstrong and Kirby Martin. All ran sprint events, too. CHARLIE GASTON appears to be running the 280 with his eyes closed. Actually, he's preparing to pass the Hayes man in front of him. Charlie came second in this one, running 30.7. Gaston, a Senior, has been winning medals for four years. He runs the 440 in 51 flat-a near record. THE FOUR RUNNERS above formed the four legs of the two mile relay team. They are Ken Peeples, John O'Brien, Ed Mc- Bride and Peter Krebbs. McBride and O'Brien are Juniors, Krebbs and Peeples are Sophs. Competition was tough, but this foursome should do well next year. PETER KREBBS, at upper right, breaks out of the stall at the start of the two mile relay. The young Soph is a top student and a promising runner. Below him is John Andrews regarded as the best Sophomore sprinter in these parts. He won this event ll00-yd. dashl in 10.6.

Brother Reidy coached and moderated both varsity and freshmen teams. The result was a fairly good squad which showed tremendous promise. The varsity made a weak showing in league competition. They had some individual stars, but lacked team strength. The Freshmen did much better, scoring wins over Power, Loughlin, St. Leonard's and St. John's. At the C.H.S.A.A. Championships, the individual swimmers showed their ability. Rice took home eight medals-more than any other team. The relay team of Por- teus, O'Leary, Karasch and Rogers took second place in the 200-yard freestyle. O'Leary earned a gold medal in the 75- yard medley and set a new meet record doing it. Henry Karasch, Phil Porteus and Doug Mitchell also earned medals. Since all varsity and Frosh swimmers will return next year, Brother Reidy is confident that Rice will be the team to beat in league competition. SOPHOMORE JOE McANDREWS, above, hits the water at attention after completing a nifty one and a half. Varsity was generally outclassed in the diving because of the few on the diving squad. However, since most divers are only first and second year students, the prospects looked good. TWO VERSIONS OF THE SWAN DIVE at right. Junior Mike Occhipinti, above, executes a perfect swan as he appears suspended from the ceiling. Below, Frosh James Dyer is all effort and little form as he tries to imitate Mike. He hit the water in about the some position-nearly bit off his tongue. James improved with practice. DEEP KNEE BENDING to get in shape, swimmers do as much exercise out of the pool as they do in ii. They are: Thomas O'Gara, Paul Moss, Timothy O'l.eary, Philip Porteus, Joseph McAndrews, Douglas Mitchell, John Higgins, Guy Beaudine, James Dyer, and Albert D'Angelo. Team practiced each afternoon and on week- ends. They loved to swim but complained about exercises. 1 wi '. a K N , W - -',L . ci? j V '- .me 3' f f T:-I K , Q . 51 ig mf... e 1.:s-v3gQsslW i,l s.QZ ' , , l 1 H tif-afeieswfc f ,.

Students want just two things in a yearbook-pictures and names. The Review section provides a final oppor- tunity to include the kind of pictures that a school camera bug might snap for his own album. Big events are often forgotten with the passing years. Small ones-particularly the humorous happenings-have a habit of returning to tickle us in years to come. We present nine pages of sideglances, both serious and comic, that may servo to give a better picture of the complexion of Rice than the hundreds of pictures that have gone before. rzview slums ARTHUR GOERKE lets classn1ate John Rowland in on a secret.

A few days after Labor Day the cycle will have begun again as the Class of 1963 replaces that of 1959. In the previous pages, we have tried to present a record of the year 1958-1959. Late-in-the-year events that were missed are presented in the Graduation Supplement to the yearbook. It is hoped that all will treasure this book as a souvenir of their days at Rice. May it serve often to help us recapture the ioyous memories of the best years of our lives. llmi 149 l . . I nt . iisllixi I l,Vuu5nltlU11 X Fx i tulle'-i lv T THE AGE OF FORTY, Edmund Rice had achieved what many would consider the height of success for a middle-aged man-and a Catholic-in the Protestant dominated business world of Catholic Ireland. Edmund Rice was the third of six boys born to Robert and Mary Rice in West- court, County Kilkenny. At seventeen, he was apprenticed to his uncle in the import and export business. At thirty- two, he was the owner of the expanding business, and, by 1802, he was a wealthy man. Only two things had saddened his life. His only daughter was born a hope- less cripple and his devoted wife had died after only a few years of marriage. In spite of his business successes and his constant eFForts to be a good Catholic, Edmund Rice felt a certain uneasiness of soul. He thought of entering a European contemplative order. But the loud voices ot hundreds of delinquent boys who roamed the streets of Waterford provided a rude awakening. He determined to establish a school in order to do what he could for these poor creatures. Thus, the grain of mustard seed was planted. Today, I57 years later, the Christian Brothers of Ireland have ex- panded beyond Edmund Rice's fondest dreams. Today, over 4,000 Brothers teach in hundreds of schools in Ireland, England, Scotland, United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea, India, South Africa, Gibraltar, and Italy. Recently, the Church has done another thing that the humble Irishman would not have dreamed. His cause for canoniza- tion has been introduced in Rome. Rice is proud of being the first school named after Edmund Rice. We pray that soon the school may have to change its name to St. Edmund Rice High. the 1959 eclmunclicin T O pf Q Qtpifgiaao , 5 h af ? . sooo LUCK GRAouATioN of ya - 95' TO THE ISSUE 77' I I A sso 1959 0 ci.A r .. ,..

For six delightful hours K9 P.M. to 3 A.M.?, l35 seniors and their beauti- ful escorts made like bourgeois, capi- talistic, warmongering children of Wall Street moneylenders. They were pay- ing guests of billionaire Paul Getty's Hotel Pierre where they filled the lux- urious Grand Ballroom to overflowing. Actually, the seniors - most of whom work as hard as any self-respect- ing comrade - had saved for months to raise the needed gelt lS25.00 plus trimmings? for the memorable affair. The hard-working committee, headed by Brother St. John, handled every detail with the aplomb of govern- ment protocol officials. Everything was planned to perfection, from the choice of hotel to the color of the bow ties. Highlights of the evening included some pre-Prom parties, parental intro- ductions, taxi rides to the Pierre, having pictures taken, and six hours of dancing. The music of Mark Towers, who has played at ll Rice proms, was interspersed with pauses for punch ll 937 vintage - a very good year for punch? and a full course Cfruit Cup, chicken, ice cream, etc.? dinner. The Rice chaplains, Brothers and the lay teachers acted as chaperons. Rogilio Rodriguez lRoom 47? and his date were the lucky king and queen. She got roses and a compact, Rogilio re- ceived cufflinks. Following the affair, most went to all-night eateries to squander more. x ' Y i The annual Graduation Mass had a special significance this year. The celebrant was Rev. Father Neil J.

The entire student body attended the Mass on the feast of the Sacred Heart. Over 700 received Communion. 210 Receive lliplnmas lln June 5 Rice's eighteenth annual Commence- ment Exercises, held on June 5th at the Hunter -College Auditorium, went off without a hitch , The largest class in the history of the school l2lO seniors? received their diplomas before a crowd of almost 2000 relatives and friends. The weather, after a few angry clouds and a short, cooling shower, cleared nicely and the heat was only mildly uncomfortable. The graduates, glee club, band, and even the tuxedoed ushers gave a memor- able display of the careful training they had received that would I'3Qt soon be forgotten. Pictures in the center- fold and elsewhere provide vivid testi- mony that Ricemen had learned a great Q deal besides school book knowledge during the past four years. The day began with the entire stu- dent body attending Mass and re- ceiving Communion at All Saints Church. Celebrant of the Mass was a recently ordained diocesan priest, a graduate of Rice, Class of '5l. Father Neil Graham breakfasted with the fac- ulty members following the Mass and promised that after his studies in Puerto Rico are completed, he will visit the school to speak to the under- graduates. ' At l o'clock, the graduates, band and glee club met at Hunter College for an hour long rehearsal- Then all returned home to prepare for the evening. 'By 7:45 the auditorium was already crowded with excited relatives and friends. The program opened with a 45 minute concertlby- the band and glee club. At 9:15, to the careful cadence of Mr. McGill's organ music, the graduates marched on the stage while the audience clapped and flash- bulbs popped. Br. Synan delivered the traditional Principal's Report during, which he gave'particular praise to the parents, the many promising religious vocations and the scholarship winners. Rt. Rev. Msgr. Gerald B. Mahoney, Pastor of All Saints Church, distributed the diplomas and medals,..patiently shaking hands with almost, 250 stu- dents. Doctor Slevin, D.DLS., an- out- standing Catholic, layman,. gave the Commencement Address. 'He gave some sound spiritual and practical ad- vice to the attentive graduates. Msgr. Mahoney closed the cere- monies with words of praise to the faculty, the parents and the graduates. At lO:55, the proud Seniors, their green and gold diplomas in hand, marched down the aisle.

The large crowd and the narrow ballroom made the march somewhat difficult. Everything was fine until the couples tried to turn in front of the band- stand. Then the whole march wound up in happy confusion. The behavior of the students was superb.

Graduates Receive 16 Scholarships, 14 Awards - Best In History Rice students won their biggest jackpot in history this year, earning l6 scholarships worth a possible Sl 0,000. The surprising boon had a startling effect on the entire student body for it swept away a growing inferiority complex that had plagued Rice schol- ars. Now, Rice has proven that they can compete and even outclass the best in other schools. Faculty members considered this the greatest benefit from the i959 awards. ln October, thirty seniors wrote the difficult State Scholarship Examina- tions. Soon after, the school was no- tified that nine had been awarded State Scholarships and that two more were high on the waiting list. The scholarships - worth from S350 to S800 per year and good in any New York College or University - went to Robert Cevasco, Robert lnsull, John Kelly, Victor Maldonado, Thomas Mann, John Martin, Kenneth Morris, Peter Ruggere, and James Griffin. Ed- ward Foldessy and Dennis Minogue are on the waiting list. Ed Foldessy, William Oberheim and Ken Morris received partial schol- arships to Iona College, as did Albert Berotti and Joseph Gloss, who were nominated by the faculty. Morris re- ceived a S1200 per year scholarship to Boston College and came fifth in the competition for a scholarship to Notre Dame, Thomas Joachim and Peter O'l-lara received Generoso Pope grants valued at 5200 each to defray tuition expenses. Top athlete and good student Charlie Garcia was se- lected by Fordham for a track scholar- ship. On graduation night, i4 awards went to deserving seniors for excel- lence in various subjects. fSee pic- tures of medal and scholarship win- ners on page 6.3 , With some really promising talent among the underclassmen, the pros- pects for i960 appear even brighter.

St. John's, Fordham l R ROLL LARGEST IN YEARS Graduation night was a night of glory for six undergraduates as well as for the seniors. They were the recipients of the General Excellence and Religion medals for Freshman, Sophomore and Junior years. Inasmuch as these awards mark the win- ners as the best of over 200 in each class, the medal means a great deal to the winner. Junior General Excellence went to Ernest Larini of 3-57. lt marks the second year in a row that the talented scholar-athlete has earned the coveted gold medal. His classmate Edward Dunn was awarded the Religion medal. Sophomore winners were Denis Lynch and Michael Funchion. Lynch maintained an over 92 average all year long in a class where at least l5 top students made the honor roll every report card. Freshman medalists were Ronald Mueller and Edward Walsh. Mueller received the G. E., repeating his brother Richard's fClass of '58l performance. Ed Walsh, anover 90 student, received the Religion medal. The establishment of the Rev. Br. E. F. Ryall Honor Society proved a great incen- tive to intense study. Students were awarded handsome certificates each report card for maintaining an over 85 average. Once they earned the certificate, few wanted to lose it. At mid-term report card, 88 underclassmen -- over l0fMp of the school - received honors. Indeed, in most classes, so many were outstanding, it was very difficult for the faculty to select the top student. On report card day, additional medals and final honor certificates were awarded to many deserving students who missed .General Excellence by fractions of points. wi FT' W. .

HANDBALL TEAM FINISHES IN CHSAA FIRST DIVISION Rice's handball team couldn't do it two years in a row li.e. win the City Champion- shipsi, but the small, spirited team did manage to finish a respectable fourth in CHSAA league play. ln a 9 win, 5 loss season, they defeated St. Nicholas of To- lentine, Fordham, Cardinal Hayes, Cathe- dral and Bishop Loughlin. The four losses came at the hands of All Hallows, Power ltwicei and Bishop Loughlin. The team was led by three-year veterans Angelo Greco and Al Berotti. Team Cap- tain Greco and Berotti won the first doubles during the CHSAA Tourney. Sophomore second singles player, Bob Rodriquez earned second place in the same tournament, which means that all three qualified for the Championship Tournament. Other players included Sophomore Pete Moran, talented first singles man, and Dan Murphy, a Senior, who played third singles. The second doubles team was composed of Juniors Anthony Metoyer and Louis Casa- bianca, both of whom should lead the team next season. Substitute Frosh Joe Diaz and Maurice Murphy will move up to second doubles next year. Biggest problem that faced coach Brother Bardley was the lack of numbers. Brother said the team could use another half dozen willing players for next year. lf the return- ing players were strengthened by some in- terested players, Rice has a good chance of regaining the coveted CHSAA trophy.
