And yet it is rnore than the story of our year, because for the past four years we have lived in the atmosphere of a Benedictine Iainily. The priests who taught us and played with us and gave us freely of their lives have made us let-l that we were a part of that family. Life at St. Vincent Prep is not so inueh attendance at an educational institution, but rather an experi- ence in Christian cornniunity living. During these years, then, we have been given the opportunity to develop intellectually, spiritually, socially, and physically. This is the story we have tried to tell in the pages that lollow.

It is with tribute and appreciation that we, the Senior Class of 1954, dedicate our yearbook to Father Pirmin, who served as a great inspiration for us. Since we have had Father as a prefect for our junior and senior years, our contact has been a close and friendly one. The most outstanding characteristics which Father Pirmin showed at all times is that of fairness towards all. It was this quality which he displayed continually whether it was in the classroom or in Placid Hall or on the ball fields that aided us all in whatever goal we were striving for. Latin and German students found that learning with Father Pirmin and his kind, easy-going manner was not too difficult a task. Vfhile all athletic participation was under the supervision of Father as athletic director, he created un- tiring interest in intramural sports as well as in inter-scholastic activities through the immeasurable experience which he had gained from coaching teams in the Prep. Let's go gang were famous words in disciplinary talks or to struggling athletes. It was that type of spirit that Father displayed that urged us to put forth a little extra effort so that we might become better men. It is a privilege for us seniors to pay tribute to a man whose every day was dedicated to God and to our mental, spiritual, and physical development. james Bauer listens to some of Father Pirmin's Father Pirmin gives extra help in German to Jon record collection.

Stritt- matter. They saw the campus of St. Vincent transformed as new playing Fields were laid out and new buildings began to arise. But Archabbot Denis has not been concerned merely to improve the physical plant at St. Vincent. He has also continued the age-old traditions of the Benedictine Order by providing us with the best spiritual and educational guidance at his command. As Headmaster, Father Egbert Donovan, O.S.B., is Father Archabbot's personal representative in the Prep. The quality of his administrative work and the fatherly character of his coun- selling are reflected in the great respect all the students have for his advice and direction. This year we had two Assistant Headmasters. Mfe enjoyed the friendly supervision of Father Louis during the First semester, and we received with regret the word that ill health would require his replacement. Father Mfarren was appointed to the Assistant Headmaster- ship in January, and he has accomplished the duties of that office with distinction. Father Venard, as Prefect of Studies, had the responsibility ol directing the classroom activities of the school and of provid- ing the necessary remedial work and study guidance, tasks to which he brought no small measure of cordial good humor. an li ff' FATHER Eemzkr DoNovAN, O.S.B.

Serving as President for the first and second semester respec- tively were Bill O'Toole and Al Cipriani. They were aided by officers Janci, Gliganic, McConomy, BenVenuto and Hughes. The largest promotion of the Council was the Kitty Ballf' the annual football dance, which was held at the Greensburg Country Club on November 12, 1953. The entertainment for the evening was provided by Johnny Roberts and his orchestra. VVith the assistance of Father Emeric, the Sophomore Student Council decorated the ballroom, while Pat Policastro took care of the selecting of the orchestra. At the evaluation of the Prep in October all clubs were represented before the visitors under the guidance of the Student Council. The various class Councils devoted great effort to parties and dances held throughout the year. It was the project of the Junior and Senior Student Councils to plan their respective proms, which were held in May at Baldoc Country Club and Mountainview Hotel. Under the direction of advisors, Fathers Egbert and Wa1'1'en, the members learned many valuable lessons of leadership. Fathers Louis, Omer and julian check the morning mail.

Leading a whole array of honor students were Mfeis, McConomy, Church, Matenkosky, and Kiggins. The influence of the foreign language program was notable. Dick Kowancki was overheard talking to French student John Cantanzaro in German. The journalette, a junior Class project, appeared in each issue of the St. Vincent journal, with increasing regularity and with only a minor alteration now and then. This year's staff included McConomy, Romanik, Toussaint, and Fryer. School dances and operetta practice provided the Juniors with opportunities to learn the social graces and brought new interest into the life of Fred Dankmyer. A Forensics was another area in which the Juniors excelled. Toussaint, McConomy, Heupler, T. Romanik, and Dankmyer gained valuable experience on the rostrum. On the friendly fields of sport the Juniors were represented by such stalwarts as Hofrichter, Trench, Ray Sanzi, Conroy, Stephan, Stillwagon, Metzger, Romanik, McCann, and Simmons, The Class of l955 are already eager to launch into the activi- ties of their senior year, a year which should see them establish some fine records for the Prep.

Dunn vs. Menner was always a good attraction but whenever Smitty arrived with pizza, he drew a larger crowd. The locker room resounded to the bonk, bonk, bonk of XNard's shoes, and to Bing Chovannes' singing of 'lP.S. I Love You. Representing the class in Forensics were George Valyo, Jack O'Brien, Al Dotson, Bill Ruhl, Don Baker, and Joe Buch, who brought distinction to the class by winning the State Champion- ship in humorous interpretation. Further honor was brought to the class when George Valyo won a nomination to the County Chorus. Steve Blatnica's intramural football and basketball tC2l1nS captured the championship awards in Maur Hall. The class's outstanding athletes were Mike Shaughnessy and Jack Martin, who showed versatility in all sports. Scholastically, the leaders were Don Pryce, Ed Salamacha, and Benedict Jenecko. The highlights of Maur Hall's social activity were a Thanks- giving and Christmas dance in the clubroom. At the Thanks- giving party Ed Mahoney learned the unforgettable lesson that green cigars are not to be tampered with. The sophomores now proudly pass the half way mark and look forward to a jovial junior year. Officew Sitiing - joe Fafone, .lack Martin, Mike Shaughnessy.

Bede and Maurus. Talent on the fields of sport, talent in the classroom, talent on the rostrum-the first year men showed all this and more. John Romanik, Paul Oesterle, and Fred Walker led the way on the gridiron, while John O'Connell starred on the hardwood. In baseball it was Fred Vllalker again who demonstrated promise on the diamond. In Forensics, Dave Lang, Mike Gilmartin, Joe Griffin and Jack Dettis brought many honors both to the Class and to the Pre . lFlnder the excellent direction of Mr. Laber, Freshmen Dave Larkin, George Buessem, John O'Connell, Mark McShane, and Paul Oesterle proved very apt and willing musicians. Adding their voices to the Glee Club were August Giobbi, Roy Stupakofl, Archie Ziviello, and George Buessem. Promise of future leadership was given by Student Council officers Mike Gilmartin, Fred Walkers, Phillip Fay, Joe Griffin, Harold Ruble, and Paul Oesterle. Under their direction the Christmas Party and the Non-smokers Club proved to be very successful. Fr. Julian's Field and Stream Club found recruits in such lovers of the great outdoors as Alessandro, Kampner, Glass, Keaney, and Griffin. Regular leaders of the Honor Roll were Lang, Knott, and Siemer. If the spirit they have shown in the past year is any indica- tion of their future, the Class of 1957 will long be remembered in the annals of the Prep. gb: V , 5 -,155 '- wyqc 5 ': N566 f 55.5 -W A . f, , f-,L fp ' hfii' ' ,q',mi?F53ggfg:::f1InEYf5 , , , .. w A ' 1KM2f1g'11:mmfywf ISM , , --wauuibf., , ,4jL2H5.g-lg, ,bij fi 13-Ffizbtflvikx f,f.'fmLg Q- 'Qy!,lw E,fbQ'QZf,'-rg, 1: N ugjmN,et-g. 14, ffm? ,iipjigj .

Direrlm' The Scholasticate is the minor seminary department olf St. Vincent lor students who aspire to the priesthood in the Benedic- tine Order. During the past year the community spirit of the department was exemplified in the close association and friend- ship between the administrative stall and the students. Father Aidan, Director of the Scholasticate, has developed a Fine program for the fostering of vocations. Father Joaehim's friendly personality won him many friends. Two avid promoters of the Hfamily spirit in the Scholasticate were Frs. Clarence and Simon, prefects of the senior study hall. And in the junior study hall Frs. Ronin and Thomas undertook the task of molding boys into men. During this year the Scholasticate paper, The Raven, made its appearance under the guidance of Fr. Joachim. It shows every sign of becoming an important member of the St. Vincent family ol publications. Scholastic prefects:-Fathers Ronin, Thomas Joachim is at the telephone. Clarence, and Simon.

L- Membership in the National Honor Society is one of the most sought-alter academic distinctions in American high schools. The Society's requirements include not only high-honor ranking in academic matters, but also the qualities of leadership and char- acter. Each year the Faculty select a number of Seniors and Juniors for membership in the Society. Having led his class for four years, Frank Golier is at the top among the Seniors. Also in the ranks of the high-honor men are Gerry Lazar and Dave Connolly. Leading Juniors are Gary lfVeis, Kenneth Rothert, and Dennis Church. And in the Sophomore Class, Drew Mfard, Edward Salamacha, and Lewis jordan have shown outstanding academic ability. In the Freshman Class, David Lang and John Knott could always be counted on lor a place on the Honor Roll.

Hz l'iflVx' Directing the spiritual life ol the Prep is Father Canice, a priest who understands the problems of boys, and who, as head baseball coach of the Prep, combines the qualities of athlete, priest, and teacher, in carrying on the duties of his olfice. Each Sunday evening he spoke to the students on the meaning of the Mass and presided at Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. One of the highlights of each year at the Prep is the animal retreat. Serving as Retreat Master this year was Father Vincent Brennan who added to the substance of his sermons a great many stories from the field of sports and won the close attention of his listeners. Each day we had the opportunity of getting to confession. Our confessors were Father Jerome, whose kind words and advice have been sought by Prep students for many years, and Fathers Clement and Edgar who were always there to raise their hands in the sacred sign of absolution. . Forty-Five students were members of the Prep Mass Servers club, the St. Aloysius Society. Officers of the club this year were: Robert Fryer, presidentg Dick Krill, vice-presidentg Fred Dank- myer, secretaryg and George Valyo, treasurer. Assisting Father Canice in promoting the spiritual life of the Prep were our prelects and teachers whose daily influence taught us to think ol religion not as a department of our lives but as something which must be a part of every phase of our lives. We learned to love our Faith as a key to the good life, both here and hereafter. The officers of the Altar Boy Society, Bob Fryer, Dick Krill, Fred Dank- myer, and George Valyo plan coming events with Father Canice.

In the course of the school year, the prep puts out two publi- cations. One, the Chimes, is the annual yearbook. The other, the jotzrnalette, is the newspaper and is published sixteen times throughout the year. This year's Chimes was edited by Al Cipriani, Lee Houston, Frank Golier and Dave McShane. A very excellent job was done by the moderator, Father Christopher, who, despite his unusually heavy schedule, always found time to give helpful advice. The business staff consisting of a group of energetic seniors under the direction of Dave Connolly, Rick Janci, Gerry Lazar, and Gene Citrone, did a highly commendable job of providing the necessary funds for this year's yearbook. The writing chores of this book were well handled by a writ- ing staff composed of Joe Calderone, Bob Hughes, Dick Sanzi, and Frank McDonald. 7 wudagwe damned Chimes Business Staff Yoji Tiank NIcDonald joe Caldeione Bob Huvhes Top-Frmzl-Dave Connolly Gerry Lazar, Rick and Dick Sanzi isork out the Clzzmes wriiino janci, Gene Citrone and Bill O'Toole.

The jozlrnrzlette, published as a department of the college journrzl, was edited this year by Bill Toussaint, Toni Roinanik, and Bert McCononiy. It has kept all of the Prepsters well in- lornied about the affairs in the school. In its columns we were able to read about a wide range ol' subjects. All clubs and sports, varsity and intrainural, had special columns in each edition. Space was also given to the Chaplain for helpful hints about our daily lives. An innovation this year was Bob Fryer's colunin Fryerside Musings which provided the Prep with all the latest news about individuals and niany laughs.

The art room is one of the most important places in the Prep, and probably the busiest. From here came the wonderful decorations and programs for the socials, banquets and all the other special events throughout the year. Many fine posters are produced each year which serve to build Prep spirit and weld the students into a family group. The art instructor, Father Erneric, has his hands full with ten freshmen, sophomore and Scholastic art classes each week. He has also arranged an exhibit of a nationally known artist's work each month through Miss Grace Pickett's Studio Guild of New York City. Earlier this year, Buzzi, Patton, and Bartinikas entered a number of their fine oil paintings in a Pittsburgh art contest. Fine art work has been done this year by Kalieta, Stephan, Murrrnan, Rothert, Lang, Griffin, Fay, Knott, Alwine, and Giobbi. In leathercraft, a new field in the Art Department this year, fine work has been evidenced in the wallets and missal covers made by Gorka and Sharbaugh.

It has been functioning smoothly and well throughout the three years of its existence. This year, under the direction of Father Omer and the Ex- ecutive Council, plans are made lor the annual lecture, trips, and the annual banquet. The present year's Executive Council consists ot James Ludgate, VVilliam Evans, Oscar Bastiani, Vfil- liam Mclnerney, and jack O'Brien. Trips to Fort Ligonier and Bushy Run proved to be very interesting. The climax of the year came with the annual trip to a historical site. This year's trip to colonial Vifilliamsburg, Virginia, was larger and more interesting than any trips taken in previous years. At the close of the school year, the organization held its banquet. 1954 has been a very prosperous year for Prep's Junior Historians.

Music appreciation has been rein- stated in the curriculum of the seniors, juniors, and sopho- mores. Mr. Joseph Laber has had a well planned course, teach- ing the style and qualities of dillerent types ol music and instruments and the makeup of diflferent types of musical organizations. After long hours of practice, the combined Glee Clubs ol St. Xavier's Academy and St. Vincent Prep presented their annual Christmas Cantata, this year entitled King Is Born, which was directed by Father Ralph. At the All-County Chorus in Jeannette, the Prep was well represented by Mike Popson, John Murphy, Jim Schnupp, Pat McCann, Tom Romanik, and George Valyo. Bill O'Toole, a Prep senior was honored at the All-County Band Festival at New Kensington by being called upon to per- form an oboe solo. Under the direction of Mr. Joseph Laber and with Jon XfVt2llClCll4Cll as drum major, the Prep Band did a fine job of entertaining with music and halftime performances through- out the football season.

HZ, V2 I This year's operetta, The Fortune Teller, was a wonderful combination of the music of Victor Herbert, courtly intrigue, and gypsy dances. It was hard work, but when the curtain went down on the hnal performance, the Prep boys and St. Xavier girls knew from the resounding applause of the audience that it had been a great success. True to the tradition of the light-hearted fantasy of Herbert, the story revolves around the recovery of a lottery ticket lost by one Count Berezowski. Irma, a member of the Grand Opera Ballet, is found to possess it. The Count decides to regain the ticket by the ingenious means of forcing Irma to marry him. This is bad news to her admirer, Ladislaus by name, who, with equal ingenuity, buys a gypsy girl, lllusette, and attempts to substitute her for Irma. But the Count is not head of the Secret Police for nothing. In short, he discovers the plot. Alas, poor Ladislaus! But it all ends happily. Irma marries Ladislaus, Musette returns to the gypsies, and the Count, as might be expected, finds contentment in Mme. Rompom. The leading roles were played by Barbara Gruger, Peggy Cloonan, Vonnie Piazza, Dot Yencha, Regina Steinman, Judy Trench, Luitgarde Dupre, and Loretta Mlineland of St. Xavier's Academy. Starring for the Prep were Mike Popson, 'lim Schnupp, George Valyo, Pat McCann, and Bill O'Toole. As in the past, Father Ralph and Sister Ida have done a Hue job of producing the operetta. They were ably assisted by Mr. Joseph Laber, a newcomer to the Prep faculty. Father Louis and his stage crew were responsible for the Fine sets and beautiful costumes.

The laudable work of managers Al Cipriani, Fran Prezioso, Al Dotson, and Bill Mclnerney and the strong voices of Fred Allwein, Bob Larkin and Bob Bartlett leading the Prep cheers made the 1953 football season a lively one, even though victory on the gridiron was infrequent. The team centered around the 1953 Arthur Rooney Trophy winner, Gene Grimm. Gene held the team together, and showed his never die spirit even in the face of defeat. His running, passing, and rugged defensive work proved Gene to be possibly one of the outstanding players in the Prep's history. Ron Sanzi also proved to be a great asset to the team through his defensive ability. On offense, Terry Kiggins, Andy Puglise, Ron Raichle, Dave Connolly, and Gene Citrone displayed their ball-carrying and pass-receiving abilities by picking up many first downs. r The opponents found it rough going because of the iron defense of Romanik, Trumbower, Popson, O'Toole, Simmons, l wew Z'644'f60f we 'f Mr. Rafferty sends McConomy into the game.

Although the Bearkittens did not crowd the win column, they gave evidence of form and physical fitness throughout their six- game schedule. Each succeeding game found the squad showing definite improvement. Handling the boys for five practice sessions a week, Head Coach William Rafferty and his assistant coaches, Father Claude, Mr. Ewing and Father Canice, gave their full efforts in trying to train each man to produce his best. The Prep eleven went down to defeat in their first game as Armagh stepped over them with a 26-0 win. In the second try with Derry Township, the Prep surprised a sell-out crowd with a perfect defense in the first quarter, but for the remainder of the contest Township led the way to a final score of 32-6. Again in the Trafford game the Kittens displayed a remark- able defense, but the opposition were able to win by two touch- downs. A loss to Johnstown Catholic preceeded the Prep's first win when they handed Youngwood a 20-13 defeat. In the final tilt of the season the Bearkittens met Derry Township for the second time. The Prep tried valiantly throughout the game, but the experienced Eagles proved a little too much for them. ' 1 w l l l l VARSITY TEAM: i , l Fzrst Row-Mgrs.

Coached by Father Canice and Father Bede, the season record showed one win, three losses, and a tie. The Puppies scored a win over Derry Township, lost to the Perry- Atoms, the Hurst Hurricanes and Derry Township, and then battled to a scoreless tie with Harold Junior High. Outstanding on the team were Keaney, Smith, Drake, Martin, Menner, Fatone, and Kownacki. The Freshmen received extensive training this 'year by Mr. Ewing and Father Maurus. In their first game, the Pussies rolled over Holy Family of Latrobe, then lost the next to Mt. Pleasant. Then they lost again, this time to the Morningside Bulldogs. In their last game they defeated the Blessed Sacrament Cathedral School of Greensburg. The young men who upheld the honor of the Freshmen this year will be an asset to next year's varsity and junior varsity. FRESHMAN TEAM Half-time .Xction First Row - J.

The new gym was not finished when expected and the squad was faced once more with the problem of having to use the inade- quate facilities of the old gym for the greater part ol the season. Coach Rafferty had to build the team around his only two returning lettermen, Andy Puglise and Ron Sanzi. The team had to work against top opposition, but even then, the boys seemed to match these tough odds and lost several games by a very few points. Andy Puglise sparked the team continuously with his fast ball-handling, shooting, and board control. In the key position, Ron Sanzi showed expert shooting and Mike Trench, with his timely set shots, worked effectively out front. Fran Prezioso, who had an accurate one-handed push, moved well on the defense. Next year's season should prove profitable, with the return of Ray Sanzi, Rick Conroy, Dave Drake, Ken McCandless and Sid Beauchamp. Top left, B.

The J.V.'s, coached by Father Claude, finished their season with six wins and Five losses. Leading the attack for this year's team were Drake, Fryer, and Stephen. The squad displayed very aggressive spirit and played their best regardless of the outcome of the game. lfVhen one considers the fine teamwork and cooperation of these boys, one can readily see that next year's varsity will hold the name of the Prep high on the hardwood. -A The Freshmen team, although many of the boys lacked real experience in the sport, proved that they too could find a spot in the basketball limelight. The team was coached by Father Bede. The main strength of the team was in their high-scorer and rebounder, VValker, and the play-maker and ball-handler, O'Connell. Others who showed ability were Alessandro and Kanyok. The team finished its season with a five and five record. The season came to a close when the Frosh yielded to the Junior Scholastics 39 to 28. With the potential that these two squads have shown, the Prep can expect some great basketball seasons in the next few years.

Along with these 'lsluggersj' Dave Drake and Phil Sass have shown line ability. A strong battery is always an important factor in any team's success, and this year Bill Stillwagon, John Stephan, and Tom Patts comprised the throwing end, while jack Martin and Drew Ward received. Father Pirmin, the Athletic Director, scheduled games with the toughest competitors available. Games billed were with Hurst, Youngwood, Kiski, Irwin, and the Scholastics. Until this time two games have been played leaving the Prep with one victory and one loss. Hurst defeated the Prep by a score of 24-2.

The winter months were taken up by trapping. A total of forty muskrats were bagged and the club profited by the sale of the pelts. The leading trappers were Archie Ziviello, Miles Buzzi, Bob Glass, and Don Baker. Spring activities consisted of Hshing and conservation. George Valyo and Peter Pontzer put in the most time on the rod and reel sports The club planted trees and shrubs about the campus and built a picnic site on the edge of the golf course. Frank Smith did a very effective job leading the conservationists. A picnic in the latter part of May rounded out a very good year for the outdoor men. Farin-in JULIAN Page Setfenty-seumz g. we.

Under the direction of Mr. William Ewing, the Prep offered a vastly improved physical education program this year. X, Mr. Ewing has many objectives in mind. Foremost are the acquiring of physical skills and the knowledge of how to play various sports. In the classroom the students were taught the F rules of the major sports and the various phases of them. Then the intramural and varsity sports programs gave the boys the opportunity to put what they had learned into practice. Mfeightlifting, various track sports, and boxing were also a part of the physical education program. The last provided a most interesting St. Patrick's Eve entertainment as Prep boxers ranging from the ninety-pound class up to light heavy-weight y sparred with each other in a series of three-round matches. y Perhaps the most valuable part of Mr. Ewing's instruction i lies in the valuable lessons in avoiding injuries which the students gain from the proper training and know-how in the various 'l sports.
