The sixth Superior General of the Congregation, Father Halducelli is the first Italian Oblate to he given the honor. Last fall he visited the United States accompanied hy the Very Reverend bl. Francis Tucker, former Provincial ofthe American Province. Father Balducelli visited the Oblate schools in the United States and showed a very keen interest in our educational system, especially since he is quite a scholar, having obtained the degrees of Doctor of Canon Law and Doctor of Civil Law. Before his departure he participated in the celebration of the twentyftifth anniversary of the founding of Saint Anthony's Parish.

In celebrating his anniversary, however, Father Tucker terminated his connection with that parish as pastor in order to take up his new duties in Rome as Councilor General ofthe Oblates. Q, 111 f 'Q Ilia? 5 LEADER HIP... The Very Reverend Father William D. Buckley, only in his second year as Provincial ofthe American Province of Ohlates, is working to his utmost to further Christian education in this country. Having heen ordained to the priesthood in 1931, Father Buckley has served well the Oblate cause in both peace and war He served four years as chaplain in defense of his country during the war where he received the rank of LieutenantfColonel. Last year he was named successor to the Very Reverend Francis J. Tucker as Provincial Superior of the American Province. in TO THE LEFT: Father Tucker accompanies Father Buckley during the St. Anthony Jubilee celebration.

He has taken an active interest in the spiritual and social welfare of each student. This year Father Lawless concludes his term as Rector of this school. We are the last class to graduate under his present administration. We wish you luck, Father, and we will always pray for your intentions. sg-A AIIMI I TRATUR .. Father Lawless has been ably assisted in this past year by the Reverend Father Dougherty. Wheri we entered the school four years ago, Father Dougherty was Prefect of Discipline. Last year he was named to succeed Father Buckley, who was appointed American Provincial, as Vicef Rector of the school. He has always believed in stern discipline, but only when it was for our own goodg also he has taught us to respect authority as Christian gentlemen should. Besides his duties as VicefRector, Father Dougherty also teaches mathematics. fv Junior grade line-up. Fr. Dougherty trying to pose the Lively Gremlins for a close up photograph.

' . il og - - ar , K , 3 X The development of soul, mind, and body is the aim of our teachers, and it is right that the development of soul should be the prime aim. For what doth it profit a man if he gain the world and suffer the loss of his soul? No matter what walk of life we follow, our religious training will remain ever with us. We study with God always near us in the chapel. We hear Holy Mass every Wednesday and have the Sacrament of Penance constantly at our disposal. Who of us is not impressed by this nearness to God? And during the months of May and October our little chapel is always packed for Benediction. whicd Ffa? a major ro e an TO THE LEFf: Father Tucker makes the formal introduction of Father Balducelli to the student body.

From the building of the pyramids right down to the construction of mod' ern aircraft and the Atomic bomb, mathematics has been a vital necessity.

Captain Walt at it again . . . I Get ready, on your mark, Go! Seen on their mark are F. Brad Ya E. Merrill, F. Sarro, and J. Hession. Although it has only recently become a major sport, track is rapidly gaining popularity. Our new coach, Mr. Orosz, is attempting to continue the good work done by the former coach, Mr. Pocetto. An early practice was called for the purpose of training and a strict training schedule was enforced. Sorely missed will be Bill Whittaker and Charley O'Conf ner, besides other outstanding performers. Many veterans returning from last year raise our hopes. Best of luck to Mr. Orosz and the teams as they strive to better the performance of former years. Bill Gestwick in full motion as he throws the shotput. ..,. ,.......f...ff5,,....,,.f4. UI DER PATH... Pre-season warm-up of the track team in the gym. L to R: John Hession, William Gestwick, Louis Longo, Edward Merrill and Francis Sarro. Coming down the homestretch is Pat Tobin, star tracker E QBIA lx Our star inheld of Eggs Curran, Jack Gibson, Chas. Trzuskowski and Franny Barnes gave the outfield little work to do with their outstanding fielding. Leo Green is seen taking his warm up tosses before taking his place on the mound. ,.,..1.,,.fA, lllAMO II Can we complete the cycle? We had the best over-all mark oi any local club in the pigskin parade, we were champs beyond conf tention on the hardwood-can we turn the trick on the diamond too? As we go to press the latter question is still open to lively debate, the buds haven't popped yet, the sap in the trees is still pretty slow-fact is, there's a threat of snow. Our prospects, however, for improving on last season's 7-5 mark are good. Father Birkenheuer's bargain basement infield will, like the late F.D.R., run for a third time. Hard to top a quartet like Franny Barnes at first, Chas Trzuskowski and jack Gibson around the keystone and joe Curran on the hot corner. Peppery Frank Simeone looks set to handle the jugfhandle curves of Leo Green, Mauro Sisofo and Pete Kelleher. In the run for pasture spots are Joe Celano, jim Quinn and Len Szafranski. Lots of if's at this stage, but a strong hunch is: Good ball club. Buddy Handlin, another star pitcher and a power- ful hitter awaits his turn at bat.
