We have taken these happenings with the characters of our classmates and Written them down so that they will be with us always. We are leaving the Aloysian as a token of appreciation to those who have helped us on our road to success-our beloved parents, our kind teachers and our loving companions. We hope that in later years it will bring back happy memories to our friends While we, of 1936, shall preserve it as our most precious treasure. Tlae1'e'J .vweemeff in 1'emembmnce. W -DORIS M.

Page Four lWMiAlDYSMNN lDlElDllCATllON We, the class of '56, believe that the greatest tribute we could ohfer our beloved deceased Principal, Sister Mercedita, is the dedication of our Year Book to her memory and we sincerely hope that it will prove a worthy offering to one so cherished and so greatly esteemed by her loyal pupils. There is one sad thought that lingers in our hearts after the passing of our beloved Principal, Sister Mercedita, into eternal life. This thought in the hearts of all who knew and loved her is, We have lost our best friend. When we think of her greatness, her splendid character, her piety and purity of soul, we stand amazed that one on this earth could rate so near to perfec- tion. But then it is not a thing to be amazed at, as Sister Mercedita possessed greatness in things of both a spiritual and earthly nature. Surely such gifts must have been the blessings of a supernatural Father on one so worthy, so virtuous and so grateful. True it is, that, to know Sister Mercedita was to love herf' How easy it was to build a strong friendship with our dear Principal and Advisor. On her arrival at Saint Aloysius School, less than two years ago, Sister Mercedita immediately won our hearts, our love and our devotion. From the beginning, she was a true and generous friend, if ever there was one. It didn't take long after meeting her, to learn to love her, and serve her as a true leader. Surely it was no effort to do favors for our dearly beloved Superior, when she thanked us with a deep gratefulness that melted our hearts and made us realize why God had chosen to bestow heavenly blessings upon one possessing such a sweet and pure soul, so pleasing to our Father in Heaven. We loved her here on earth, with a love so strong, the bond of which cannot be broken even by death. Now that she has gone to a happier life of eternal bliss, that love has grown more intense and we begin to realize all that she ever meant to us. We shall try to overcome our deep sorrow with the realization that she has reached the height of her ambition, that is, a per- manent place within the portals of Heaven, safe in a new and everlasting home with her Creator. -CAROLYN F.

March 1, 1936. Reverend and dear Father Duffy, Our graduation day will soon be here. Its coming makes us realize we are leaving you and the happiness of our every day meetings. It makes us hope, too, Father, that you will accept the profoundest appreciation of the class of 1936 as we start on the road for which you have ever faithfully pre- pared us. Great as is our gratitude, however, it can scarcely surpass the deep affection and respect with which we have received your guiding influence. We shall never forget the effort put forth by you, Father, to instill sacred ideals into our hearts to make us worthy children of our God. To you for a really permanent interest we have not looked in vain. In years to come we pray we may always merit your approval and show you that we wish to continue as, Your devoted children, CLASS or 1956. -Doius T.

Now, four years after that memorable day, we are on the threshold of those same doors only in a different role and with a different point of view. Then we dreamed of the day, when we, as time honored Seniors, would be graduated. Our dream has been fulfilled. But with it comes a bit of sadness which was quite unexpected, until we realized that we were leaving-leaving the corri- dors behind to ring with the goings and comings of other classes. It is to our consolation, however, that we have grown both physically and mentally during our stay at Saint Aloysius High School but perhaps the most important result of our eight terms has been our spiritual development. Wlieii we entered, we were at one of the great turning points of our lives, the turning from Catholic children into upright Catholic manhood and womanhood. To this task, our good teachers, the Sisters of Charity, under the able and watchful guidance of the Reverend Father Duffy, set themselves. As a result, we now not only are able to cope with the graduates of any other High School intellectually, but what is more important we are now more fortified to battle with the world for that precious prize, our immortal soul. Along with this teaching, we passed through four years of strict scho- lastic training. Our memories were strengthened by our two years of History. Our appreciation for thegarts and literature was matured by our studies of the works of not only the great Latin masters, Vergil and Cicero, but, by the more ornate and Hourishing poets of the French and English language. Our analytical and reasoning powers were tested and further developed through Algebra, Geometry and Chemistry. Thus, we find that with these and with the extra-curricular sports and activities, we have fulfilled to the utmost de- gree the true definition of education, the full and equal development of the mental, moral and physical faculties. The end has come to our High School days. And should we care, we may listen through the halls of Saint Aloysius High School to the echoes of the class of '56 slowly die out forever. -EDWARD A.

It brought us nearer our goal and indeed made us happier for having spent two years in Saint Aloysius. V JUNIOR YEAR We began our third year at Saint Aloysius with renewed courage and de- termination.

Then, before we knew it, our examinations were over, and we had completed our third year, now we were separated by one single stunmer vacation-the prize we set before us three years ago. SENIOR YEAR In former years we used to look forward to the Senior year as a time when serious labor would be over, and it would be merely a matter of coasting to the finish line. We were soon disillusioned. Yet, besides being a period of hard work, it has been the most pleasant year of all. Preridenr: MARIE GALLAGHER. Vice Preridenz: EVELYN O,ROURKE.

These are but some of the things we shall always remember. We could not ever begin to mention the really deep and fixed happy associations, our loyal friends or any of those indefinable, but real things that go to make up happiness. E Our Senior days were happy, yes, but there was one shade in the begin- ning of the year. Sister Mercedita, our beloved principal whom we had all learned to cherish and revere became ill. She had been with us only fourteen short months when God saw fit to call her to her reward on November ninth, 1935. It was indeed a sorrowful day for the whole school. On November twelfth, a sober, quiet class of Seniors and the officers of the under classes made their way to Convent Station to see for the last time the principal they loved and appreciated. As Sister Mercedita was lowered into the grave it was hard for many to control the tears that started to their eyes. Our be- loved principal was gone! In years to come we shall often think of Sister Mercedita and of the few happy months she was with us. We shall treasure this memory along with all our precious memories of our Alma Mater. -MARGARET E.

T936 Page Fifty-four Tllillll Allhllghif Prophecy June 21, 1951 Dear Rita: I have been sitting here reminiscing for the last hour or so and I have suddenly come to the realization that exactly fifteen years have elapsed since the day on which we took our lirst decisive step toward life's goal-that day on which we received into our hands one diploma that signified four years of learning and that eventually would lead us on to the fulfillment of our hopes and dreams. Within the past few years I have seen many of those hopes and dreams fulfilled, for in my short trips throughout this great coun- try of ours, I have encountered many of our old friends who have made their aim or who have it, at least, within their grasp. For instance, last week while I was walking in the lower part of New York City, I ran into john Smith, now head of the New York Stock Exchange. john was hurrying to a business conference uptown but very kindly granted me a few minutes of his time and told me, during the course of our con- versation, that Father E. Price is now teaching at Georgetown U. and that Robert Alexander is head coach at Seton Hall College. Later in the day, I found Mary Peters, the capable executive of a large brokerage firm in New York City, and Anne Batho, Supervisor of Nurses in Saint Vincent's Hospital of that same city, dining quietly in a secluded corner of the Savoy-Plaza. They invited me to join them and they spent some time telling me of the liner points of their respective careers. That very same evening while attending a dinner given in the honor of Margaret McGlinchy, now dean of Smith College, who has done so much to promote greater interest in higher educa- tion for women, I met Charles Twomey and john Cuff, who now operate the law lirm of Twomey and Cuff and who have become two of the best known lawyers in the country. Neither has lost any of his unlimited and unequalled power of speech. ' Sometime last winter I crossed the river to New jersey to visit Doris Darby in the now thriving city of Jersey. Doris, as you know, recently won the Women's Diving Championship in this country and is working earnestly for higher honors. I renewed many acquaintances during that visit with a great many of our old friends who are still residing in their old home town. Edward Flaherty is now Commissioner of Public Works and Emma Patella is a New jersey Representative in Congress. I spent a most enjoyable evening with Patricia Linter, who is doing extensive social work in one of our larger cities and who was entertaining Katherine Nugent, now head buyer for Alt- man 8c Company, and Rose Tracey, a most capable and efficient lawyer. Rose's wonderful power of speech and expression has won a place for her among our leading women lawyers. I was disappointed to have missed seeing the Honorable judge Cox who was s-ojourning in Europe at the time. ll Qt fi! tj Page Fifty-five 'WWE1XMDYSLXN Do you happen to recall the trip I took West last summer? Well, on the way I stopped for a few days in Washington, D. C. and I had the good fortune to meet Anne Greene, who is now taking Miss Perkins' place as Sec- retary of Labor to the President. With her was her colleague and associate, Marie Naughton. Both were the perfect type of efiicient young business woman of the day. In that great Capitol of ours, I alsomet Lieutenant john Keegel, ace flier of the U. S. Naval Flying Corps and Thomas Flanagan, the foremost designer of aircraft in the country. Lieutenant Keegel has proved his great skill in flying on many occasions since he first entered that fielc and both of these old friends seem to have achieved success. Traveling farther westward, I arrived in Cleveland where Marie Galla- gheris latest book is breaking all former sales records. The graceful sim- plicity of her language has endeared her books to everyone and they have done much to bring aboutan increased love of literature and good reading. On one of the main boulevards of Cleveland, Grace Comiskey has opened an interior decorating shop with business associate, Doris Sidler, doing the de- signing. Doris has also produced several beautiful portraits that have brought her considerable notice in the Held of art. Before leaving that city, I learned that from the laboratories of Bannon and Fitzgerald have come many aston- ishing scientific revelations. When I finally reached the last stop of my journey, San Francisco, I was quite surprised to find that still more of our old classmates were residing in that great metropolis. At a reception given for one of the notables of the city, a chorus of entertainers were furnished for the evening from the dancing school of Marjorie Diemer and Carolyn Scially, and joseph McGuire and William Conway alternated as masters of ceremony. Marjorie and Carolyn have one of the largest schools in the country and have produced some of the finest dancers to be seen on the stage or screen. Elizabeth Barth enacted a scene from her new play, Berkley Square, and Genevieve Starkey sang sev- eral songs in her lovely voice. Genevieve has triumphed in the higher fields of music and has turned her face toward the one goal of all singers-the Metropolitan. Leaving the hall, after the reception was over I met Catherine O'Connell, society reporter, who was waiting to interview Genevieve. Somehow or other I feel as though great things have been accomplished within the last fifteen years and it can all be measured, in my estimation, to the success in life that has come to each and every member of the Class of '36.

We juniors are well represented athletically, having ten of our class- mates on the Varsity and junior Varsity Basketball teams. Nor has our track team suffered from lack of willing and able juniors who all help to retain the high standing of Saint Aloysius High School. During the first half year we found our studies not too hard since there were no new subjects. But our troubles began with Trigonometry in February. In November the whole school was dealt a hard blow with the death of Sister Mercedita. A kinder and gentler sister never lived and we all feel the loss greatly. However, the arrival of our new principal, Sister Gertrude, les- sened our grief. Now, juniors, let us prepare for our final act with mingled eagerness and sorrow as we look forward to leaving the school we have grown to love, Saint Aloysius. 1, 7, -MARY E.

Aside from the arduous task and grind of study and preparing for our future days, we are already beginning to learn, and feel, a lot of sentiment an devotion towards each other, and a loyalty to the traditions of old St. Aloysius, that we will carry with us throughout all our lives. Yes, we are already beginning to realize, and dread, that in one more short year we too will be graduated, separated, some of us perhaps never to see or hear of each other again. These doings of today's high school days will be our pleasant memories and souvenirs to look back upon in the sun- set of our lives. Yes, these are happy days-made so by our dearly beloved pastor, our lovable priests, and holy and devout teachers. May we of whom so much will be expected carry on by our conduct and efforts in years to come so as to reflect honor and glory to our Alma Mater, good old Saint Aloysius. -RUTH NORTON ll L ll Ill il 5 Page Sixty-five 'WHE1XMDYSLXN Class Of 1938 SECTION 1.

As we assembled at Sopho- more station, we were happy to welcome several new passengers into our midst. Waiting for the train to leave, we gazed into the familiar faces of those who had accompanied us on our first lap, and, also those who were to be our new travel-companions. just then the train left the station and a new adventure began. The first survey showed us that we had gained a new faculty member. A second look revealed a beautifully renovated basketball court. f Our studies, although they were more difficult, proved very interesting. The new subjects, French and Geometry, we found quite intricate, and our old friend Caesar caused us many worried moments. With Regina Jarmicki, Barbara Zack, and Miriam Downey on the Var- sity Squad, and several boys and girls on their respective junior Varsity teams, we feel that we have contributed our bit toward the glory of Saint Aloysius. Now, as we draw one station nearer to our destination, we, the class of '58, sincerely believe that our remaining years will be as well-filled and joyous as the past two in dear Saint Aloysius. -ALICE M.

Axiomsl Postulates! All were a muddle in our ,poor bewildered minds. Was this the wages of the Sophomores? By February everything was straightened out. Geometry was clearer, French was progressing, the Honor Roll contained quite a few names and we had settled down to a now familiar routine. Our Junior Varsity teams were well sprinkled by both boys and girls from our class and the honor of the track team was manfully upheld by our boys. We have well-founded hopes in our ambitions to have our class represented on the Varsity. To the Seniors we wish God-speed and trust their fondest hopes will be realized in their latest fields of endeavor. -VIRGINIA A.

The first moment we put foot on the High School floor everything about us felt strange and different. The at- mosphere of hustle and bustle among the students, hurrying from class to class, gave us the impression of work. As the upper classmen were busily talking about their studies, we were wandering from place to place, admiring the classrooms. just as we became used to being in high school a dreadful misfortune came upon us. Our beloved Principal, Sister Mercedita, was taken from us. When we lost her, we lost a friend. We, as Freshmen, will endeavor through the year to uphold the great name of Saint Aloysius.

The season of '35-'36 began with a track meet at Lincoln Park. The students interested in track took part, and prizes were awarded to all winners of the events. This was the first school meet held by Saint Aloysius and because of its success an annual meet will be held hereafter. Meanwhile, the basketball tryouts had been held, and after the teams had been chosen, intensive training began. The basketball season officially opened with a game between the varsity and members of the Alumni. Both the boys and girls teams succeeded in winning their opening game. Accord- ing to the schedule, the boys basketball team played Hfteen games with local and out-of-town teams. The boys displayed their usual spirit and vigor and managed to come out with a good score for the season. The girls varsity played twelve games with outside teams. With the thrill of hard won success we turned to the finale of the season. When the varsity teams had completed their schedule, an intramural bas- kasketball tournament was held. The various teams chosen showed a great deal of pep and spirit. When the boys' tournament was held, six inter-class games were played. The Juniors of Section One were the final victors. At the conclusion of the boys' tournament the girls began their games. The girls' teams showed as much spirit as the boys and proved that a girls' game can be lively and interesting. Six games were played by the girls. A well-contested game between the juniors of Section One and Sophomores of Section one closed the tournament with the Sophomores as victors. Immediately following the Christmas vacation, the boys displayed great enthusiasm over track. The track team entered inter-city and inter-state meets and creditably represented their school. Next came tennis. This is the first year that Saint Aloysius organized tennis teams and all the students were enthusiastic supporters. Several matches were held and they proved interesting to those participating and those on the sidelines. As usual baseball training caused a stir around school. The would-be Babe Ruths were practicing and looking forward to a place on the baseball team. After much deliberation, the team was finally chosen and the boys started to play with great gusto. The whole school attended the games and inspired the ball players to do their best work. Our last word must be one of deepest appreciation to Father Mooney. As Director of these activities he has established no limit to our privileges. A constant watchfulness over our training, welfare and progress has made us feel that, much as we value him as Director, we hold him in greatest esteem as our Friend. -ANNE L. GREENE. 'f Page Seventy-sim NWMLXLDYSLXN LESLIE A. FRIES Coach Fries, to all Aloysians, is more than a coach, he is an advisor and above all a friend in need. His baseball teams in recent years have covered themselves with glory by coming out on top in the Parochial League. He is always willing to help a fellow who does not understand and feels repaid by their efforts. He is the most popular coach in the league. The squad is thankful for his help and wishes him success in his other enterprises. 1ROBIERT A. A1.uxANou1t VIRGINIA REILLY QUIGLEY Our coach has ever shown toward us her guiding influence in veritable fulfillment of her position as the Girls' Athletic Coach of Saint Aloysius High School. Much of the success of the Scarlet and White Girls' Varsity during the past few years must be attributed to this indefatigable leader. We have always counted on her for aid in school activities, and her keen optimism has lent encouragement to the team. Many victories has her brilliant method of coaching garnered for the Scarlet and White. As athletic coach of the girls' activities, she has won a firm place in the esteem of all Aloysians. We shall not forget her. -CAROLYN F. SCIALLY .i.. ,, . RICHARD V. KEEGAN In Coach Keegan, we have a coach who made good in his first year. He molded a track team, which won the Seton Hall and the jersey journal meets, out of boys who had no experience. He knows all the fundamentals of run- ning and teaches them willingly. He has what few coaches possess, and that is, the ability to get the best out of his runners. We are sure that he will continue turning out first-rate track teams. -ROBERT A.

Tlfllfllllli zXlLlDYS1lfzAXN Our Alumni The Alumni Association of Saint Aloysius High School was organized in 1928. Since that time it has grown steadily and as a working up-and-doing organization it has no par in the city. Its most outstanding accomplishment is the establishment of the Scholarship Fund which was started within the past year. This Fund offers the most worthy student at scholarship in higher branches of learning and will be a striving incentive to all members of our school. We hope this project will attain the goal set by these loyal Aloysians. To accumulate the necessary funds for the fulfillment of their hopes, the Alumni has worked unceasingly during this year. They sponsored a card party last October. The attendance and generous response to this encouraged the workers to attempt more affairs of this type. In February, under the lead- ership of the Alumni a very creditable and remunerative dance was held in the Hotel Montclair. If past performances are indicative of future growth, we may safely prophesy that the Spring Dance will surpass tl1e fondest hopes of the most enthusiastic of the Alumni. Saint Aloysius High School Faculty, like a proud mother, bursts with pride when the plaudits of those outside our school, are won by any of ours. It was therefore, with personal and professional pleasure that news of the winning of john Marshal Scholarship by Anna Wisnovsky of the class of '35, was received within our portals. The interested spirit and untiring devotion of Father McHenry, deserve the humble though inadequate appreciation of the Alumni. Their wish is his command. We, the Graduates of ,36, trust that we have within us, the ability to carry on and aid in the work which those before us have accomplished. Con- stancy has been their watchword. We, the novices, while hoping to follow their example, pause to salute them. -MARY HELEN PETERS. X Page Eighty-eight
