Eighty-four seniors begin their final year of walking the halls of Adelphia. As they look around themselves, they stare in amazement at the tiny freshmen and are puzzled at how fast the first three years have past. But well versed in the pattern of things they immediately held class elections. Frank Leonetti got the bid for president of 4A and Ken VanDerhoef and Ed Allen were chosen in 4B and 4C respectively. Turning out for football, the seniors realized that they held almost every position on the starting line-up. Gayle Hill, Pete Kendall, John Ditore, Ken VanDerhoef, Paul Dempsey, Chuck Covello, Bill Anderson, and Ed Allen were all names that were to be repeated again and again in news column as the Panthers turned in win after win. With only two losses the '54 team gave Prep their best record since entering the Cross-State. ln Basketball, the seniors again carried the responsibility with Clair Markey, Fred Gockel, Dave McCulloch, Ken VanDerhoef, and Pat Carroll winning a big S, Ed Allen made his letter in baseball for the fourth straight year, thus becoming the only four year letter- man of his class. Jim Riley and Ray Weber marched all across the state winning debate trophies and returning to Prep the Signs of greatness: Trophies won by the prestige of past years. Mike Siguenza became the best Class of '54 known Prepster in town as he fought over TV, got into into the Golden Gloves, and then stopped boxing while he made a name for himself in oratory contests and got a spread in the Times for doing so. John Owens, Jerry Starksen, and Hal Starostka brought down the house with their great portrayals on the stage. Echo editorships fell on Ken VanDerhoef, Greg Gray, and Jim Lambeth. VanDerhoef also led the Sodality. One of the closest valedictorian races in years devel- oped with Jim Riley and Jim Lambeth coming out on top. And then as April rolled into May, final Province Exams began to receive some worried attention. But on the night of May 30 with exams and classes over, 84 seniors marched up the aisle of the Eagles' Auditorium and received their diplomas drawing to a close four of the happiest years of their lives.

Edmund Peter Allen When Bush walked into Adelphia that warm fall day in '50, few realized what a worthy present St. Theresa's had made to Prep. But it wasn't lang before Ed began showing his great athletic ability. He is one of the few Prepsters ever to be a four year varsity baseball star. He was class officer 4, 3, 2, member of the Sodality 3, 2. lg on Student Council 4, 3, Intramural all- stars 2, All Cross-State second team 3, first team 4, and Letterman's Club 4, 3, 2, being elected Veep 4. His football career, beginning with the frosh, ended four years later when, as team cap- tain, he led the Panthers to their best season since entering the Cross-State League. His ambition, to be a Yankee catcher, might thus enable him to afford La Pierre's Hatrod shop.

His first loves were the Ski Club 4, 3, 2, l and football 4, 3, 2, l, making a varsity letter for his fine play on the line n his last three years. Other athletic accomplishments include track 3, 2, l, All Cross-State second team as a iunior and first team as a senior, His other activities include Sodality 4, 3, 2, lg class sect. 4, 3, and the Echo staff, making a list which few other graduating seniors can match. As his ambition, Bill has his heart set on one day seeing Dempsey walk down Carroll's stairs. Dan Ballard St. Jahn's added one more bright light to Prep's growing collection when Dan Ballard hit Adelphia in September, 1950. Always eager for activity, Dan, who prefers to be called Hoobs, ioined the Sodality and the Pep Club in his iunior year, and then rounded out his career with the Harle- quins as a star in See How They Run, and the ECHO staff, where he served as Assistant Copy Editor. As for his outside-of-school preferences, Dan indulges in fishing, swimming, and the fair sex. His life will be complete when he teaches Mr. Nelson how to type. Nick Murray Ballard Nick Ballard, Prep's most popular Eskimo, landed here in September and proceeded to make a name for himself on the local track scene. A star discus man, Nick took top honors in the sub- district track meet, walking off with first place in a field that annually boasts the best of competition. To further his athletic achievements, Nick played two years of football-one with the Varsity. He also had one season on the maple courts with the B-Squad. Apart from athletic circles, Nick has devoted his senior year to the Sodality where he sees a beginning for his ambition-a career of social work.
