The early settlers braved the hazards of the unknown, in covered wagons they faced the hardships of an untamed wilderness, and from tiny beginnings they laid the foundations and forged the framework of a great new land, That, too, is the story of St. Vincent. It was the fall of 1846 that Father Boniface Wimmer and a handful of companions landed at New York, thread- ed their way across the mountains to Western Pennsyl- vania and set up their first monastery, school, and church at Sportsman,s Hall in the beautiful foothills of the Alle- ghenies. But why had they come? What reason could they have had for leaving the security of their great and ancient Abbey of Metten, Bavaria, to face the hardships of a semi- wilderness in the New World? Their motive was service. Service to God and to man. Churches and schools were needed where they could be of benefit to the immigrants and settlers, and Boniface Wimmer and his companions had come to answer that need. His first work was the establishing of St. Vincent on a permanent basis. Then the community began to grow and soon the intrepid leader began to look for new fields of labor. Missionaries went forth from St. Vincent to the South, to the West, to the North. Everywhere they went they left in their path a church, a school, or the beginnings of a monastery. And now a century has rolled by and we see the fruits of their labors-16 Hourishing monasteries, more than a dozen colleges, and hundreds of parishes from New Jersey to Kansas, and from Minnesota to Florida. And back of it all is the spirit of Archabbot Boniface Wimmer inspiring his successors to an even greater effort of service in the years that lie ahead . . . that in all things God may be glorihedf' ggi?-'T 09 Jw St. Vincent in 1855 Bird,s Eye View We Hope DEDICATIC 555: E.

Headmafter Following the footsteps of his predecessor would have been very diH:1cult for a lesser man than Fr. Egbert, but the qualities which combine to form an ideal monk and an in- spiring teacher make him equal to the task. When hels helping seniors plot their course into college or moderating a Student Council meeting, Father gives careful consideration to the boy,s interests. REV. CAMILLUS LONG, O.S.B., MA. Affiftant Headmafter Whether he is looking into the activities of some of the less sedate seniors or overlooking minor infractions of the more decorous, Fr. Camillus Wins their respect by enforcing dis- cipline in a kindly Way. A quiet-looking man Who makes a potent speech anywhere, any- time, Father Camillus, Winning and Willing Ways made him a success with the boys. 11 A Gila ., ,,,,5.

Dominic and his assistant, Fr. Arnold, from failing to see that the Prepsters have good wholesome meals or new athletic equipment when it is needed. Two other important providers for Prep students are Frs. Fintan and Austin. Father Fintan generously donates the college library facilities and often his personal services to Prepsters whose mental needs are sources of information and knowledge. Father Austinls contribution is his entire person, dedicated to-the assistance of each student who en- counters spiritual difliculties during his stay at the Prep. The physical well-being of the boys rests in the capable hands of Stephen Nealon, lVl.D., and Gervase Nealon, lVl.D., whose constant attendance and excellent care have returned to the gridiron many a lost player and, to the classroom, swiftly recovered students. Docn Hungerman, resident nurse, also helps keep the classrooms filled by his unerr- ing intuition in knowing whether or not the Prepsters visit his department to avoid tests. None of Fr. Celestinefs pupils, however, seek pink', pills during class hours for fear of miss- ing his songfests, f'Aufgaben', or German sayings. Another vital force in the life of every Latin and Greek student is Fr. Otto, a fundamentalist first, last and always. Fr. Alto is a stickler for fundamentals, too. The thorough knowledge gained by his students is proof of the pudding. Fr. Ierome's math and religion classes will hold a lasting place in the heart bf every Prepster who attended them. FATHER AUSTIN DR. S. W. NEALON DR. GERVASE NEALON MR. FIUNGERMAN FATHER OTTo FATHER CELESTINE FATHER ALTO FATHER JEROME FATHER NORBERT FATHER DUNSTAN l FATHER AIDAN FATHER EMMERAN uke Up the Torch Whether Father Norbert is ushering the pretty St. Benedict girls around the campus or impressing Prep scholars with Spanish gram- mar, his direct methods always result in gales of laughter. Translations like Europa est ter- ra,' from Etymology or Veni, vidi, vicii' from Caesar present no more a problem to students than the students themselves do to Father Aidan. His uncanny ways of tricking the boys and forcing them to think amazes the students beyond measure. With precise, methodical steps, Latin periodicals and jokes, his class is anything but dull. Begin with a storyf, ex- plains Father Dunstan when he expounds the principles of good speech. Be it freshman Eng- lish or senior speech, he lives up to this maxim in every class and delights all with his humor- ous stories. As right-hand man to Father Ulric, Father Emmeran Hnds himself confronted with many problems-the greatest is probably the class he undertook to teach physics to this year. He surprised them all, however Ceven, perhaps, himselfj, when the Hnal results came in and his boys made out with flying colors. In addition to his other background, several years of playing professional baseball and four- teen years of teaching, Mr. Smith, a veteran of World War II, will have another source of colorful stories and anecdotes for his classes when he reminisces about his service in the Naval Intelligence Department. Listen close- ly, youse guys, because I only want to explain this ten timesf, quotes Father Ulric as he drives home a difficult point. Because he knows how to combine humor with his exacting meth- ods of instruction, he is one of the best-liked professors in the Prep. Father Norbert and the Piggy Bank 6'I'll get my pound of flesh! MR SMITH FATHER ULRrc MR. RAFFERTY FATHER CONNALL . and urry n Another member of the faculty lost temporarily for war- time reasons, Mr. Ragerty returned to full-time teaching before his absence could be felt on the gridiron. As before, f'Bill', turned out a team which bore all the earmarks of a fighting St. Vincent outfit inspired with great admiration and respect for its coach. In the role of coach or chemistry teacher Mr. Rafferty is a true friend and the boys' choice every time. A product of Catholic University's drama school, Father Connall had more woes with his freshman algebra class than he had at that institution during all the time he spent going to school there. With a class full of students like Guter and Bridge already trained in the line points of parliamentary procedure, he has more trouble restoring order to the class- room than directing the behind-the-scenes activities of a production as stage-manager of dramatics. His idea of a per- fect day is one which excludes algebra class. Literature with Father Christopher interpreting the soul and meaning of the facts takes on new life and significance as do the other projects he sponsors. His imagination, cou- pled with the training he received at the University of Wis- consin, adds Hre and zip to the Chimef and fournalette. His modernistic method of teaching English goes over big,' with his students, and few of them will forget the fine points of exact Writing he insisted upon in every theme. Hollywood's loss is St. Vincent's gainf, exclaimed the junior English students when Father Venard assumed the professorship of their class. Playing the violin comes as eas- ily as winning friends to Father Venard, but he found that life takes on new meaning when one teaches in the Prep department. However new he might have been, it did not take him long to convince the pupils that he knew the tricks of their trade also. Wliether it was 'fdayhopsn skipping studytime or students failing to turn in their assignments, his prompt action won the respect and admiration of all. Let's have a recap on thatll' is one of Mr. Strosser's favorite expressions in history class. His first-hand acquaint- ance with Europe as a flying officer and German war-pris- 'oner provide him with many an inside story on recent his- tory. To the football players his pet remark is: 'fGet out there and chill them this half! As assistant varsity coach, none could be more capable in instructing the youngsters in the fundamentals of blocking and running than 'fWalt,,' a former St. Vincent College grid star himself.

Under the direction of Father Marcellus and Aelred a fine brand of school spirit and Zeal for study was developed. Father Marcellus found his time more than taken up by perfecting duties and the extra assignments of teaching and coaching baseball. But he took great pride in the lads of Benet Hall and they, in turn, took great pride in maintaining a high standard in the school. Father aelred sparked the Pussies along to victory in football, basketball, and baseball and kept the intramural leagues humming during the winter months. All the boys will recall his wise-cracks at the football banquet and the jokes he has always on the tip of his tongue. ' Top entertainment in any class was Connors, Mr. Strosser,s pride and glory. Tom Callaghan got into everything from the Sad Sacks to the Pussy basketball squad and even found time for an occasional rumpus in the dorm With McCulloch. Fauth surprised everyone including himself when his essay on Catholic books Won the prize and was printed in the fournaletze. The Baecher brothers and Terry Corcoran upheld the glory of the Hall in sports, and Charlie Royak upheld the strong arm of the law with 4'Uncle Slam in Father Austin's class. Porgy,, Cornett's smiling face will be long remembered, and Joe Guterls imprisonment in the lockers Will be recalled Wherever the Frosh of ,46 meet. op Sitting McCulloch Leichman Legnaioli, Ingram, Baecher, C.

But they had much to learn as Miller experienced after writing four pages of K'Webster,' for Father Louis. No, indeed, sophomore life was not a bed of roses, though some tried to make it as comfortable as possible. Bill Kaus borrowed an extra meal when the Prepsters were feasting on chicken, little realizing that it was the prefect's portion he had annexed until a count of dishes proved him to be the culprit. Don Connors contributed his bit by brightening every class with his jokes, but the highlight of the year was the class period when 6'Uncle Slaml' and O'Brien were introduced to the tune of twenty five smacks. Even Fr. Jerome couldnlt unravel the vicious circle of his geometry class- Somple, Downey, and Damico.

McGinn, Porado, and lVlcElhaney led the list and found time for debating, too. Rapkin and Delacio won the hearts of the fair ladies, and Ucker entered the lists as a triple threat to the reigning caballeros. Had it not been for Father Louis, conscientious supervision in the studyhall, few of the sophs would have made their mark. Father Louis was the perfect example of priest, prefect, and professor. Father Pirmin is the smallest of prefects, but he commands the respect of the biggest, His suggestions were always appreciated for the boys knew he was intensely sincere.

Father Warren was the ideal prefect in the eyes of every junior, but he gave place to Father Julian in February, when Father Camillus was taken ill.

Each and every June finds a four-year cycle coming to an end as one more graduating class passes through the por- tals of St. Vincent Prep. But not unnoticed go some who have left their mark during the short four-year stay. Among these is Bill Mitchell, who gained prominence his sophomore year as a champion debater and a high honor student and Who has never since lost his leadership laurels. Another is Don Gaylor who has left his greatest imprint on the four- nalette Where his careful Writing and hard Work brought new praise for the publication. Into the role of athlete steps Arthur Sundry, but not Without a tough battle. The injuries and mishaps that plagued him would have spelled defeat for a lesser lad, but the athlete in him triumphed and he closed the football, basketball and baseball seasons with glory. Perry Smith has so distinguished himself with a 98 average in the toughest of courses-science-that no other tribute could be more Htting than that of scientist Joe Schuchert and genius are synonymous. Without Joe's orig- inality and cleverness the Chimer would have lost much of its color and the debaters much of their prestige. Joeis tal- ents were not confined to extracurriculars-for his average was one of the highest.

All-Star Seniors Take it easy, Ray Junior Scholastic Varsity One of the most important moves made by Archabbot Boniface Wimmer was the founda- tion of the Scholasticate Where young men may be trained for the monastic lifef, It is the department set aside for those who feel called to the priesthood as Benedictine monks. Here the boys play, study and pray together and learn the important lessons of living together harmoniously. This year the basketball bug bit the boys and left an indelible imprint on the records. Led by Divittis, who was league high-scorer with 253 points, the seniors Won 14 out of sixteen games and tied one. Baylock, Fatora, Halula, Milan, and Stebler completed the roster of the team. The junior quintet came out second best with the bolstering of such hardwood stalwarts as Soisson, Schuetz, and Hargarten.

FATHER KIERAN FATHER MAYNAR11 FATHER OMER FATHER EDGAR CIIIIL TIC Father Vitus' background in law enables him to be one of those rare individuals who acts always in consideration of justice tempered by mercy. He fills capably the post of teacher, adviser, and friend of some sixty Scholastics. A great exponent of fresh air is Father Kieran. As exact with himself as he is with the boys, he stands out as an example to all. Father Maynard believes in discipline tem- pered by sweet reasonableness-except in dormitory infractions. Whether playing ball, conversing with the boys, or lecturing his charges in the studyhall he is able to mingle sincerity with humor thus making him a friend of every boy. Tall Father Omer is a fiend for religious literature and the fruit of his reading appears on his special bulletin board. He passes a football or wields words with equal adeptness. Last but not least is Father Edgar. Fresh from the novitiate, he brought with him an attention to detail which his boys will profit from in the years that lie ahead. REV.

Feverishly they worked with the help of Fr. Christopher to produce a yearbook show which would inaugurate their drive. It was a great success. To maintain the initial momentum of the drive created by the show, Leo West drew stimulating posters While Sundry and Smith made inspiring appeals as business managers. Everything proceeded and the staff functioned smoothly until finally the deadline dawned-the photographer was summoned-copy completed-printer rushed Stag Adwe, -and the Chimef finished-we hope.

FATHER RALPH Uphold St. Vineent Traditions Making its first appearance of the year, the Prep band marched into Bearcat Stadium with bugles blaring, drums rolling, and flags flying. As John Delacio, the drum major, put the boys through their paces and they wove in and out of formation with a lively tempo, few people realized the story behind the band. Three years before, the Prep band was just a dream, but by unrelenting hardwork Father Ralph whipped up an organization of Prep musicians of which we can all be proud. Watch it grow from yearbook to yearbook is his promise. This year's stand outs were numer- ous but great credit must go to Frank Carcione who proved the mainstay of the band in the percussion section with his keen ear and sure Sense of rhythm.

A new outfit, the Sad Sticky, were out in force to entertain the fans between the halves. Under the instruction of Father Ralph they learned to swing and sway with the ease of the Rockettes and diminutive fellows in the top hats soon won the hearts of all the spectators. Sweet music filled the air at the student recitals held from time to time during the year. Scholastics and Prepsters com- bined in presenting solo and duet performances on the piano and other instruments. Then there were the jivy Knights of Rhythmw under the direction of Prep maestro Fran Mangieri. The yearbook show, Prep dances, and informal get-togethersv were enhanced by the melodies of this all- student music factory. Featuring Tom McCreary on the sax and Frank Carcione on the drums, the Knights won fame wherever and whenever they played.

Father Edmundls fine training of his former proteges was manifested when they stole the spotlight at the Student Congress where Bill Mitchell was elected president of the senate and Joe Schuchert, speaker of the house. From there the Hrst string composed of Mitchell, Schuchert, Am- brose, and McGill went on to win the Edgewood Tourney, the McKeesport Trophy, and a decision over Canton- McKinley, the ace debaters from Ohio. During a short lull McGill won the moniker- Count der Plan because he always proposed a counter plan which failed to produce results.

Regis Vlasaty, Napoleon's chief of secret police, and his motley crew of detectives, Bires, Judge, Delacio, Bill lVlcGinn, and Perry Smith, almost stole the show with their antics.

Each study hall had its delegates who met from Week to week with the faculty representative, Father Egbert, to iron out problems of school order or plan parties, War bond drives, and dances With the neighboring academies. Perry Smith was the driving power behind the War Bond Drive Which netted close to ten thousan ddollars in bonds and stamps. Social highlight of the First semester was the Kitty Ball, annual football dance, which took place at Mission Inn. Herm Melotti was chairman of the Senior Prom which Won the approval of everyone. Then there were the Saturday night socials at St. X. with Kitty Matthias, Marjorie Fohl, and Jo Anne Smith. Rug-cut- ting specialists on those occasions Were Dashing Ed Tuntis, Jimmy Pittsburgh,' Scanlon, and Timothy Salvati. But the dance which will linger longest in the memories of the boys Was the Junior Prom under the chairmanship of jim Davis. 214 couples shook the rafters of Mission Inn to the tune of Jack Merlin's orchestra.

Austin Confers with SKMHCU in 1846 The Prep choir School life at St. Vincent is the practicing of our ideals on a twenty-four hour basis. ln sermons, class instructions, and private con- ferences the students are impregnated with the principles of good living. Each day starts oHi with the Holy Sacrifice, is enriched by a short visit to chapel after dinner, and ends with night prayers said in common. It is not unusual to see boys slipping into chapel before they go on debate or athletic trips, before examinations or anytime they believe an extra prayer is needed. Habits of religion are formed unconsciously. Living in a religious atmosphere and in close association with the Benedictine Fathers, whose life program is Pray and Work , gives the studentls life a richer and deeper meeting. The Lourdes Grotto Sportsman s Hall School, Chapel and Monastery Handball, tennis, and soccer were the rage in the gay nineties at St. Vincent, but the students of the past forty years have turned to football, basketball, and baseball as each has risen to prominence in the field of American sports.

As the practices continued, Stewart, Dwyer, Becker, Shettig, Jernstrom and Irons came to the fore and showed that they also had the Hstullw and the all-critical eyes of the coaches turned to them. With so many able candidates driving themselves to capture varsity berths, Coaches Rafferty and Strosser found it diflicult to select the starting eleven for the initial encounter of the season with Derry Township.

Because of Melotti's leg injury and the inexperience of the Kittens, they came out on the short end of a 33-O score. After their initial defeat the Raffertymen bounced back to Win over St. Luke, 6-U. Led by the dazzling Danko, Eupizi and Buzzatto, the Kittens put Irons in scor- ing position late in the last quarter and he fought his way over the tally line for the only score of the game. Bolstered by their victory, the Kittens fought hard against Ligonier, but the fleet- footed Mounties were too strong for the Kit- tens. Mitchell, Dwyer, Becker and Smetana, bulwarks of the Prep line, proved pesky thorns in the side of the Mounties, offensive machine, but they managed to eke out a nar- row victory, 6-0.

The game was hard fought and the Prep did not score until the last quar- ter when Bonner dashed across the goal. Moving on to Altoona the next week, the Prepsters fell prey to an aerial attack and lost, 13-0. The Raffertymen rallied in the last canto when Davis intercepted a pass and re- peated gains by Matanic, Kifer and Shiring brought the hall into Altoona's end zone when the final whistle blew.

Following this, the Aelred- men roared back to crush a helpless Holy Family team. Honors of the day went to Bradley, Ingram and Consalvo. Sparked by co-Captains Heimbuecher and Henley, the Pussy machine went into high gear. In order they defeated the Pittsburgh Roonies and the Universal eleven. Continu- ing their winning spree with the flashy play of Grillo, Dover- spike and the Baecher brothers, the Pussies gained victories over St. Bernard,s and St. Josephls. The stellar play of Calhoun, Duhon, Guinta and Prebish won the praise of teammates and opposition alike. Greenfield Prep linally broke the Pussy skein of victories by an indecisive win to end a successful season. Inaugurating their short season, the Pups bowed to the powerful Perry Atoms. Defensive notables were Small- hoover, Porado, Kaus and the Miller cousins. Bouncing back into the win column, the Pups trimmed Morningside. Joseph, Corcoran, McHenry and Dailey were standouts along with Pollack and Wehrle. The annual thrilling grid classic between the Pups and the Pussies ended with Fr. Christian's boys on the short end of the score. Laurels for stalwart play went to R. Henley, Brisbin, Crowley, Seikel and Welsll. U To Frs. Aelred, Christian and Pirmin goes the credit for keeping these teams in the grid spotlight. Calhoun, Ingram, Consolvo, Henley, T., Heim- s 9 Molvin, Mgr., Coaches Rafferty and Strosser Facing a grueling schedule, the Prepsters opened the hardwood season with a bang as they defeated a highly- touted Hurst live. Danko and McCreary led the scorers, totaling eighteen points. After the Hurst win the Rafferty- men took the measure of a surprised Derry team with diminutive Jackie Heimbuecher stealing the game in the closing moments of play. The Blue and Gold played one of its finest games of the year in losing a hard-fought thriller to Ramsay and earned high praise from their opponents and deserved tribute from Coach Rafferty as well. Losing to Johnstown, the local boys roared back with an easy win over St. Luke's but North took the joy out of this victory with a close decision. lVlcGinn and Bonner performed de- fensively as the Prepsters bowed in two tilts to Kiski and Central. With Sundry and Buzzatto back in the lineup the quintet again showed promise. This new spirit failed them while losing to Ligonier and Derry. The Bearkittens trav- eled to Saltsburg andwereetrimmed by Kiski after suffering similar experiences at the hands of St. Casimir's and Central, but they returned to winning ways by gaining a victory over St. Bernard's as Irons and Perri turned in their best per- formances of the season.

It wasn't until two consecutive defeats that the Jayvees found their footing and completely swamped Con- nellsville I.C. Downey, O'Neil and Crowley led the scor- ing attack with twenty points. Later competition saw the reserve cagers take losses from St. Luke's and North. Lig- onier could not keep up with the speedy offensive of the junior team and finished on the short end of the score. Welsh and Seikel along with Smallhoover and McGinn took the scoring honors. After the loss to Kiski the reserves took a breather from the Pussies. Following this win, the JV dribblers won their next two encounters only to be set back by Ligonier in the finale of the season. Under the tutelage of Fr. Aelred, a troop of twenty little Pussies diligently learned the fundamentals of the game and strove to win starting berths on their team. Many of their games were against tough opposition and close scores decided such encounters as Transfiguration, the Scholastics and St. Joseph's. The fighting frosh registered their first exciting victory against Ligonier when they came from behind to overcome a lead and go on to win.

As a serious student he is commended by his professors, yet he still finds time to excel in baseball as a veteran on the mound. Golf occupies his leisure moments. ROBERT BARORD The Prep's own Byron Nelson, Bob is a leader on the fairway and has clubbed his way to the ownership of the school golf trophy. For four years he plagued the profs at the Prep. Consult Father Alto. HENRY BASHOUR A character as solid as his frame-thatls our Hank of Republic fame, Always striving to increase his vocabu- lary or add to his repertoire of jokes, popular Hank sifes optometry as the climax of his four years at the rep. ADRIAN BAYLOCK Hailing from the heart of Cambria County, Aden soon made a name for himself at St. Vincent. With a reputa- tion as a student, violinist, and sportsman, Aden can go far in Benedictine Community life. Louis BENDICK Who's got a cigarette? was Louie's favorite question. His class speeches introduced a new type of emphasis- the wavering eyebrow, In the classroom he was smcereg as manager of the iKKlIt8US,,, dependable. FRANCIS BIKES During his early years f'Bones,' gained prominence with the publication of the Ujugl' list as well as the honor roll. His Sinatra appeal won for him a place in the operetta, but did not hinder his football managing. JOSEPH BoovA Impersonations, pranks, and jokes are characteristic of Joe. Always glad to contribute a rare tale to the conver- sation, his genial manner and witty humor distinguish him from the group. The army called him in February. THEODORE BOWMAN Quiet in the classroom-except when awake, Ted sees Prep activities through the lens of his camera. His en- thusiasm for dances and Sunday afternoon socials should merit him an honorary diploma from the Hill, Recalling freshmen days via Alexander's album We Blazed the Trails Joi-IN BRENNAN Lacking in sleep, but not in gridiron ability, Punchy', has ably demonstrated his npigskinf' talents much to the chagrin of his opponents, Popular at the Prep for his classroom boners, he will never be forgotten. HARRY BUZZATTO A one year man, but a Prepster all the way through, Buzz has proven his mettle as a fullback on the grid- iron, a classroom comedian and a real friend on the campus. Bridgeville sent in him a true sportsman. TWESNTWCXIVF5 Y ' 'H W F rcrrrrcr ' W Vince's Brooklyn accent adds sparkle to Prep conver- sation, as his gridiron grace added strength to the Bear- kitten line. When athletics don't demand his presence he nurses a guitar in the Prep dance band. FRANK CARCIONE Tagged the Gene Krupav of the Prep, Frank well de- serves the soubriquet. As one who disdains the comb and most forms of activity, he has carved out a place for himself by 'his extra-active beating of the skins.D DAVID CROWLEY Tall, dark and handsome. No wonder he is popular with the girls. When the answer to 'fDo we have study time today?,' was In the aHirmat1ve, Dave Wilted. As a new- comer to the Prep, he soon became one of the boys.', FREDERICK CULLEN Bunky', was not behind the door when the brains were given out as his report card attests. He amazes the multitude with his coin collection. Hard working, never complaining, a mainstay on the golf course crew. ANDREW DANIco A Bridgevillels loss was St. Vincent's gain. Dank car- ried the mail for the Prep as a Bearkitten back and because of his personality, won popularity with the boys. An athlete, scholar and gentleman. f FRANCIS DEFELICE Coming to St. Vincent for his senior year, Bud plunged into the Prep's unfamiliar athletic and scholastic pro- gram and emerged-the victor. The butterf'ingers', of the physics lab, his average in math is consistent. Rainy afternoons in Placid Hall BRENNAN BUZZATTO CAMPO CARCIONE CROWLEY CULLEN DANKO DEFELICE I DEVINE DEWHURST K DISTEFANO DEVITTIS i DONOHUE EUPIZI i FATORA GALLAGHER l l To Class Honors JOHN DEVINE John left us for college at the semester, but his short stay was a profitable one. Quiet, reserved andlstudious, he gained prominence by his brilliant scholasticlrecord. This talented lad can't help but make a fine priest. WILLIAM DEWHURST Bugs could make a joke of anything-to the dismay of his teachers-and he was funniest when he tried to be serious. His characterization of professors brought to everyone's eyes tears of laughter. josEPH DISTEFANO Big, burly Joe is the product of his generous uncle's soda fountain. The stress and strain of studies worries him slightly less than the rigors of day-hop life. Mush- ball leagues found him a valuable arbiter. ARTHUR DEVITTIS While the professors knew Art by his excellence in studies, the boys all knew him by his supremacy in sports. A lad with unlimited energy, a sparkling per- sonality and outstanding ability. JOHN DONOHUE Windy captured the applause of the audience by his trumpet rendition of the Carnival of Venice. His linguis- tic talents enable him to create new rules for Latin grammar or new verbs in Greek. ANTHONY EUPIZI Tossing Tony won his football laurels the hard way. Despite physical ailments, he was a one man team against Ligonier. Popular with the boys and girls, he is a gentle- man par excellence. Ronniu' FATORA Bob rates high in sports, higher in personality, and highest when it comes to class work. Always active, but dependable, his untiring efforts were rewarded with success when he entered college in February. JOHN GALLAGHER More on the humorous than the serious side of life, Gallagher typifies the great character created by Richard Harding Davis in his famous short story. His antics were feathers to the boys, but pains to Father Camillus. The Prepls own Harrilet holds forth In tud and Sport DONALD GAYLOR Regarded as a human dynamof' Don sees that the journaletie material meets the deadline. Still he man- ages to put Gaylor on the high honor roll every quarter. An outstanding student, Don, and a gay blade at a dance, too. DoM1N1c Gmcoivio Jeannette is the home of Dom,', who is the generous host to many Prepsters when the athletes travel there for a game. Dom's claim to the title of a fellowls fellow can't be denied in view of his popularity. EDWARD HALULA Four years in the Scholasticate have revealed Ed's,' physical as well as scholastic abilities. Even though bur- dened with the responsibilities of a heavy schedule, his skill at any sport on the campus never diminishes. THEODORE HERIG It takes a real man to make his way into the hearts of the women as Ted has done. Dimmutive but vivacious, he excels as much in pool or tennis as he does in the classroom where physics is his favorite. Active always is Ted. ARTHUR Ho1:rz R A pianist par excellence, an exceptionally gifted scholar, and an intramural sportsman .are all rolled up in the per- sonality of. Art. Besides having appeared on the radio and at recitals, he takes a lively interest in dramatics. JOSEPH KASUNIC , Seldom seen during free time and usually quiet in class, Joe has a smile for everyone. This exceptionally hand- some' lad gained his prominence by holding down the terminal post on the varsity football team. ALBERT Kozmc Although Al' doesn't excel in athletics, he is constantly striving to. improve scholastically. His earnestness and the enthusiasm with which he tackles every task is the formula which will carry him to success in the priesthood. ROBERT KUNIK Sam is one of the Atlantic City beach Casanovasv who never knew that a general week-end and a week aren't synonymous. His claim to fame lies in the fact that he won a varsity berth at the fullback post this season. - Let's make it a double, Ted! GAYLOR GIACOMO HALULA HERIG HOLTZ KASUNIC KozAK KUNIK LARIIVIER LEPPERT MCDEVITT MCGILL MAIORANA MANGANO MANIGIERI MAVILLA And ow That Were Grad WILLIAM LARIMER just plain Bill.,' His room full of airplane models and pictures symbolizes his ambition-to he an aeronautical engineer. A quiet, conservative lad in class, Bill had no difficulty making friends on the campus. Someday he'll he a credit' to the Prep. JACK LEPPERT Jack is a very ambitious boy whose aims coincide with his interests. His concern for the welfare of his fellow prepsters prompted a class in dancing taught by himself. This Flood City boy will go places in college next September. JOHN MCDEVITT A big asset to the school and especially to the yearbook staff was jack. His artistic talents have found expression in decorating clubrooms for Christmas parties and pre- paring the drawings for the Chimes of 1946. He plans to complete the picture of his life as a Benedictine priest. DONALD MCGILL Accentuate the affirmative! is Donls motto when it comes to dating and debating. Ray Milland has nothing on Don's histrionic ability as demonstrated in The Madman, and as assistant editor of the foumalette he emulates Pegler. His formula for success-Persistence plus effort. RALPH MAIORANA There is never a dull moment when Ralph is around. He abounds with jokes which drive professors into con- vulsions. He clings to an opinion and never backs down in an argument-even with a debater. An athlete, pal, and student of ability, Ralph is popular with all. JOHN MANGANO Sharing quarters with an orator and a photographer taught john the value of silence. A personal acquaintance with several Texas pin-up queens made him the idol of the younger set, but more serious inclinations prompted him to enter college in February. FRAN MANGIERI Mangieri is synonymous with Knights of Rhythm , the name of his famous band. At every school show. Cantata, or dance, this gay master of ceremonies enlivened the affair with his witty performance. Willingness was his outstanding characteristic. VINCENT MAVILLA Although Vince must miss many of the Prepls extra- curricular activities because he lives quite a distance from the school, he surprised many of them with the news that he had won a jitterbugging contest back in the old home town. Quiet but pleasant are the two Words which best characterize him. McGill modestly acknowledges his trophy! We Will trive te Keep Right HERMAN MELoTTI A thorn in the side of the opposition until injuries forced his withdrawal, Herm was a nifty varsity signal caller. His extra-curricular schedule and class work at- tests his talent, as his popularity is proof of his per- sonality. WILLIAM MILAN A member of the National Honor Society, Bill's name always ranks high in the class of academic peers. This handsome blonde boy has led the Scholasticate activities for four years and will probably bealeader as a priest. WILLIAM MITCHELL Since his freshman year Bill has been in the spotlight of Prep activities. After winning acclaim on the gridiron and in speech work, he went on to distinguish himself as editor of the Chimer. Active, outstanding, a true friend. Lours MOLY'IN Summer school, and the telling of Fr. Ulric's funniest jokes brought Bumps to the foreground among the seniors this year. He has engaged in forensics, added harmony to the Glee Club and power to the Puppy football squad. PAUL MURRAY Color and climaxes have been packed into Paul's three years at the Prep. Outstanding in the Glee Club and practically a professional on the dance floorg photography consumes his spare time but doesn,t diminish his pop- ularity. LEO PENATZER An authority on day-hop life, having written several articles concerning its hardships, Leo is a die-hard commuter himself. He would rather take a chance of having a Hat in his gas buggy than surrender his freedom. HERBERT PoLLARn One of the three musketeers of room 108, Herb spends his time studying or telling jokes. Once in a while he writes poetry, which even surprises Fr. Christopher, or demonstrates his artistic talents on the ivories. JAMES REYNOLDS A serious student, an athlete, and a real friend are found in the person of Jim. There's plenty of strain in a day-hop's life but you never End Jim easing up on his studies or neglecting his duties. Success will follow his efforts. Greetings from Dolores! MELOTTI MILAN MITCHELL MOLVIN MURRAY PENATZER POLLARD REYNOLDS REBELLEDO Roniuouez SALVATI SARAMATA SCANLON SCANLON Scnucr-naar SHETTIG The Ideal and the llope GONZALO REBELLEDO Through his earnestness and steady application Pancho is almost able to speak English Huently. A few months at the Prep drew him from his afternoon siestas into the busy stream of activity. He,s a Prepster now. RoBERT Romucuez It's a rare surprise when the Prep gets such an excellent student as Rod Excelling in math and in the sway of South American dance patterns, he is a friend to all. A talented Brooklynite, a credit to the Prep. TIMOTHY SALVATI A potent humorist is Tim. His orations inspire laughter in speech class, his agility on the hardwood demands admiration. There is laughter aplenty in his room and at his table, and so his life should be a happy one. BERNARD SARAMATA Bernie,' is a believer in persistent and hard work. He spends considerable time over the books every night, and his efforts are well rewarded when the reports are sent home. He's another member of the day-hop aggregation. JAMEs SCANLON Jim first won recognition as a public speaker, then as an actor in the operetta. Never neglecting hrs studies, he covers first base for the Kittens, and his interests center around a certain Duchess from Pittsburgh. jornv SCANLON When a Prepster thinks of the Brooklyn Bums, he naturally expects everyone from Flatbush to be a clown. Our expectations were upheld in john, for he was the wit of every gathering, but an earnest athlete and student as well. josem-r SCHUCHERT The weekend Joe wasnyt at home stands out most in his life, but those weekends never kept him from capturing decisions and hearts, too. Champion debater- honor student-personality plus-he will always keep go- ing higher. josEPH SHETTIG The typical jolly stout man, Joe was always ready with a helping hand. Giving his best on the gridiron, he was an asset to the Bearkitten line. Always serious in his studies, Joe had to leave his books when the army called him at the semester. Hide that acc, George! jonN SMETANA What would Fr. Ulric's class be without Smitty? What would the day-hop aggregation be without his Snyder- town lingo? He was proud of his football letter and we were proud of him as he tackled the opposition. PERRY SMITH For a small person Perry has certainly covered a lot of territory. His roster of achievements reads like an excerpt from Who'.r Who. He excels as much in activities as he does in class where math and physics are his favorites. PHILIP STEBLER Junior's name went through so many changes in Ger- man class that we finally called him Phil. His speed on the track can only be surpassed by his celerity in the classroom. Summer school enabled him to enter college in February. EDWARD STEWART The good humor man of i'Poker Flat, . Ed has a cheery word for everyone. His Interest In social activities with St. Xavier came only within the last year. Wonder why? Always dependable, never complaining, he IS a Prepster's Prepster. ARTHUR SUNDRY Following in the footsteps of his brother, Art seems to excel in everything. A Bearkitten back, president of the Student Council, a high-honor man, his ability is matched only by his popularity. He is a leader in class and on the campus. EDMUND TUNITIS Founder and able president of the Lonely Hearts Club, the Prep's own Van Johnson, Ed has always been very Frank. His amazing laugh and timely sense of humor carved a niche in the memories of his classmates never to be forgotten. RAYMOND TUTELO What! You never heard of Arnold, Pa.? is one of Ray's favorite phrases. He's a top-notch musician on the drums or the bass and has a speaking acquaintance with most subjects. Always friendly, humorous, cooperative. REGIS VLASATY Whether reciting in class, passing out extras in the refectory, or playing the part of a detective in the operetta, Rege never fails to touch the hearts of friend and foe. Though he didn't join the Three Travellers on their jaunt to the big city, he succeeded in getting the most out of school life including many admirers among the students of a neighboring school. Time out for a smoke SMETANA SMITH STEBLER STEWART SUNDRY TUNITIS TUTELO VIASATY KUHN STAT!-us WEST WILLIAMS W0l.FEL 68 OFFICERS Prerident .... As Student nt St. Vineent Prep LEO WEsT A rough and ready student at all times, Leo won fame on the football squad through his aggressive, hard work. Drawing posters was his favorite pastime when physics and his duties as a waiter didn't interfere. He'll always come through with extras JACK WILLIAMS Among other distinctions, Jack has the reputation of being a tough man to get down in a wrestling match. Thought anthracite coal of his native Ramey was tough till he hit the Prep. His two chief diversions are asking the waiter for more rhubarb and May I borrow your English book? Good luck to you, Jack. CLARENCE WOLFEL Classes were a snap for him. Greek stopped him for a few periods and then he led the class. Mr. Fix-it in the clubroom when repairs were needed. gentleman to the manner born, he will make a fine priest. CHARLES KUHN In the dormitory, in the refectory, in the classroom, Chuck was always quiet as a mouse, but not nearly so inconspicuous, His neatness and his affable manner are two qualities which fit him admirably for the work of the priesthood which he plans to take up. GEORGE STATHIS George never said a whole lot, but he did plenty as a student of the Prep. When Father Christopher was look- ing for the right man to plan and run the gala yearbook show in October, he found the answer in George. He hopes to be a showman on a professional scale some day and his present zeal is a good indicator of his future success. OF THE SENIOR CLASS . . . .ARTHUR SUNDRY Vice Preridenz ..., ....
