CHAPLAIN Religion English Sodality Coordinator Don Bosco Club Senior Moderator To the Class of l955: The distribution of the Lance is one of the many reminders that the end of your high school career is close at hand. But it is a very special reminder, for The Lance is your book of mem- ories, recalling the four years that you have spent at Riordan, while recording in a special way the achievements of the school - scholastic, ath- letic, social and spiritual - under your leadership during l954-l955. Looking back, the l955 Lance will recall your successes and failures as Riordan students. lt should likewise remind you that you have every right to face the future with a firm confidence in your God, in your Heavenly Mother, Mary, and in yourself. The blessing of God and of Mary has been with you in the past. They will con- tinue to bless you as long as you remain faithful to them in the full practice of your religion through active participation in the Sacraments and in your parish life. As for your personal for- mation, your religious, scholastic, social and L gpthletic training has been such as to enable you to'enter the next stage of your development with the tools needed to succeed. As you leave Riordan you go with the heart- iest best wishes of the faculty for a happy and holy life. We have tried to teach you thatl ife will be happy to the extentin which it is holy. May God bless you and Mary keep you. Your Principal, FR. PAUL KELLEY, S.M. BRO, FRANCIS LAHEY S. M. Treasurer Riordan Club BRO. ANTHONY BEYER S. M. U. S. History Civics Band W CHARLES BRO.

Due, perhaps, to the inexperience of the team, this coveted possession eluded Riordan's grasp. Although the team lost its first game to Albany, itcame back strong to beat Salinas, Sequoia, St. Elizabeth's, and Marin Catholic, the last two victories being C .A. L. contests. After the loss to St. Mary's, the Crusaders fought game- ly in holding mighty Valleio. ln the Valleio game, Dick Bass, Valleio's fabulous back, had the worst nightof his foot- ball career. ln the final two games Riordan lost to C.A.L. champion Serra, and to Bellarmine. f-:sf COACH VISCO GRGICH .lohn Flaherty, T Tom Lynch, E Norm Gumer,-ez G Ed Pryle, G Jim Caldera, Hb Gerry Maun, Hb Bob Marron, T I Tom NaU9hton Hb -lim Clifford, G 'lim D0'eYf C Bob Ahern' G George Cummings' M9 I :vga V fvx -3 3 1 .fl ililll l'l'Y This was the start of a new era under Coach Visco Grgich. Although the 4 win, 5 loss record was unimpressive, the team play- ed good ball and learned the true meaning of sportsmanship. All C.A.L. quarterback, Bob Harrington, was the captain of this year's edition of the Crusaders and was an able competitor. Riordan had an excellent bockfield with such an array of hardrun- ners as Vern Waligora, Ed Griffin, and Brad Bidleman, The de- fense was led by all C.A.L. center Rich Max, who had able sup- port from Don Ricci, Jim Flaharty, and Bob Marron. Next year's Riordan team will be blessed by the return of such able performers as Mike Cutone, Ray Cook, Jim Clifford, and George Horan.

Although Riordan's team spirit and determination were high, they were not enough to cope with the Padres. ln the first quarter an alert Padre picked up a Harrington fumble and streaked 54 yards to pay dirt. ln the same quarter, however, Vern Waligora ram- bled 68 yards to tie the score. Before the half a.ll- C.A.L. back, Jim Jackson, put Serra in the lead with a I3 yard burst. Half time score .....

Riordan kicked off and a great defensive team stopped the Mustangs cold during the opening plays. Brad Bidleman took a St. Elizabeth's punt and galloped 75 yards to put Riordan on the scoreboard before the Crusaders had run a play from scrimmage. A few minutes later a pass from Harrington to Irwin added another. Den Kray bulled 8 yards for a tally, and Vern Waligora added still another on a 30 yard scoring play. Jim then put Riordan ahead 32-0 ona 39 yard iaunt. The scoring end- ed with a I0 yard aerial from Sandstrom to Lyle Irwin. Final score .....

After a few plays Bob Harrington started the route by rambling 55 yards for Riordan's first T . D . In the second quarter Vern Waligora added two more tallies to Riordan's total on shortplunges. Midway through the third quarter Tom Lynch took a Harrington pass and sprinted 70 yards to paydirt. Lynch also accounted for another on a 9 yard pass. Riordan 's final marker came on Harrington's 2 yard sneak. Griffin added 4 points to the total with his conversions. Marin Catholic's only score came on an 8 yard pass in the second quarter.

This was the most important game for the Crusaders so far for if Riordan could win this one, it would mean the Serra-Riordan game would decide the C.A.L. champion. St. Mary's kicked off, but the Crusaders quickly fumbled the ball away. From that moment Riordan was ina hole from which itnever broke out. Good punting by the Panthers aided to Riordan's plight. Both teams staged a great defensive show, not allowing either offense to move. However, iust before the half, St. Mary's moved into field goal position and Jim Clark rose to the occasion. During the second half the defensive battle raged, and a series of breaks kept Riordan in its own territory. Final score ...... St. Mary's 3, Riordan 0. I .ss Q if ' V P? ,Wg Zflkr wwf. TOP ROW: B.

JU Illll llilli l'l'Y The Junior Crusaders ended their season with ar unimpressive record, but they gained the experience which will mold them in to a future Riordan varsity. Our Junior Varsity showed lots of fight and a never-say-die attitude even when behind. They had good depth and were a well balanced squad, which is essential to a good team. The offense showed great power and usually was able to sustain a drive. Only the scoring punch was lacking. Many varsity prospects showed their ability this year under Mr. Clark. Among them are: capt., Mike Carson, quarterbackg Charles Actis, endg Bob Roper, halfg and Bob Kennealy, a smashing tackle.

Coaches Jack Buckley and Stan Springer molded these boys into football players who will someday hold the gloryof Riordan on their shoulders. Although the win, loss column showed the Crusaders on the short end, the team displayed unending fight and deter- mination. The big win of the season was the 20-0 slaughter of Serra . Wi th this year 's co-captains, Buddy Bidleman and Charles Becker, leading the team, our future looks bright. V' Coach Ed Fennelly LEAGUE STANDINGS W L St. Mary's l 2 0 St .

In no less than seven games this season Riordan lost by six points or less, and in others Riordan outscored its opponent in number of field goaIs,only to lose on the free throw line. These last facts characterize the spirit of this team . lt was on agg- ressive outfit that never knew when or how to quit. lt was only out- classed on rare evenings, such as against Bellormine and St. Ignatius. Every opponent realized that it had to go all out to beat the Crusaders. This season might be summed up in the following quote from athletic director, Bro. Robert Maguire, No team could ever let up against Riordan, for, regardless of the score, Riordan was always in the game. Besides the C.A.L. schedule of twelve games, Riordan engaged in fourteen practice games and the C.A. L. Carnival. Highlights of the season included hectic one-point defeats at the hands of Lincoln and Sacred Heart. A third place in the C.A.L. Cor- nival provided an evening of thrills which saw the Crusaders' only loss come at the hands of champion St. Mary's. ln the league there were rousing wins over Serra, Marin Catholic, and St. Elizabeth's, but the most remembered moments will be the first half of the second St. Mary's game, which at one time witnessed Riordan on the front end ofa ten point edge. Riordan can be proud of the 195411955 edition of the Crusaders and its coach Ed Fennelly.

The Junior Varsity completed a succ- essful season of I5 wins, 9 losses. Special praise should be given to Coach Lavin for molding this squad of inexperienced Jun- iors and Sophomores intoa team truly cap- able of wearing the Purple and Gold. The team gathered second place in the C.A. L. Junior Varsity League with a record of 9 wins and 3 losses. Rich Clarke and Mike Carson were favorably honored by being named to the All-league team. Put it in Marronl The purpose of the Freshman team is to develop potential material for the Crusader varsity of the future. When the Frosh team accomplished this, like the presentone has, it is said to have had a successful season. Outstanding pla erswere Stagnaro, Martin, Kilgariff, Macalluso, Mardesich, and Mell - inger, who undoubtedl profited from the coaching of Jack Buckfey.

Great individual stars as Don Chesarek and Bob Harring- ton seem ready to roll. The foremost problem this year is the lack of depth behind our fine first line forces. In the upcoming relays Riordan will be represented, as in the past, by one of the finest mile relay teams in the state. First places at El Cerrito and Hollister are again this year within the reach of the excellent relay team. With Harrington, Chesarek, O'Leary, Filippello, O'Brien, Griffin, and Kray leading the way, the C.A. L. track and field championship will probably once again make its home at Riordan.

Only the future knows whether or not Riordan will retain its coveted C .A. L. Baseball Championship. This appears to be a most arduous task for Coach Visco Grgich and his inexperienced charges. Only two starters remain from last year's champion- ship squad, third-baseman Vern Waligora, and outfielder Vince Quinn. With sucha small nucleus as this,Coach Grgichwill fielda team that real- izes what it is up against, a team that knows it must make up in desire and team play, what it lacks in balance. However, in league games so far, the Crusaders have beaten Favorite Serra 7-5, and St. Elizabeth's ll-8, while losing to Bishop O'Dowd 7-3- With such an encouraging start, the Crusaders may once again bring home to Riordan a C.A.

AMERICA S'l'llliY The America Story, the musical cavalcade of the history of America, will be looked upon for many years as one of the most memorable feats of our high school career. After hours of script writing and five months of preparation Riordan emerged with it's second musical. Words cannot describe it's merit but numbers can. With a cast of over twohundred and an unbelievable audience of seven thousand the America Story , presented by the Class of 55, has left a dramatic mark which will be long remembered. ma ,593 Jack Briare R vxevlx X009 o C0 C . 6090 ve Sx exxx 0 0 sxs . aloe Sill: QOCOV r wow si C-'V The Hollywood niteclub scene fini' .ani- The Orchestra of the America Story. l The Religious scene.

This year it is the purpose of the Lance to dedicate this page to the MEN BEHIND THE SCENES . Little is said about them during the performances, et without their efforts it would be impossible to maintain the high calibre of our P- ix 'Q Y . Ng, Mr. James Lindland meditating on the American Story The Class of 55 would like to thank Mr. James Lindland for patient- ly working with us through our four years at Riordan. It has been his experience, knowledge and originality that has given us the basis Know How of the theatre and has set Riordan on its pinn- acle of drama. It has been through his unending work that Riordan today is proudly and respectfully recognized by the students, parents, teachers, and critics of San Francisco. May his success match his efforts productions. For working months before each show on stag- ing, effects, set construction, lighting and make-up they truly deserve this recognition.
