EX ILFFSIRIS THE ALOYSIAN 1937 PUBLISHED BY TI1e Senior Class Volume VI SAINT ALCDYSIUS HIC-H SCHGOL JERSEY CITY, NEW JERSEY FOREWORD Our four years of High School have slipped by all too quickly. It saddens us to think that next year we will not be returning to the Halls of our beloved Alma-Mater. These have been happy years, years filled with innumerable pleasant memories. It would be heart-rending to think of leaving without taking with us something that would remind us of these happy days. It is for this purpose that we have collected and incorporated into our yearbook the most outstanding of these memories. To the underclassmen this will be just another yearbookg but for us it will be our most cherished possession. MARY BERNADETT12 MUI.VANlEY. gpm E.:-Z Em MOST. REV.

FARRELL REVEREND MARK DUFFY DEDICATION At the helm of our ship of ambition, forging ever onward to our goal-Graduation-there has been a sturdy captain directing us wisely in the path of religious and secular knowledge. His kindly and self-sacrificing spirit has been the guiding star in our efforts to attain success. To him for whom we shall ever manifest the highest regard and admiration as the exemplar of Catholic excellence, to him whom we shall ever be proud to salute as the apostle of honor, education and leadership, to our beloved Father Duffy, we dedicate this volume of the Aloysian. ROSEMARY ANN JUDGE. OUR HIGH SCHOOL As the hour for parting approaches and we are about to sever scholastic connections, perhaps forever, we, daily, realize more clearly what our school has meant to us. For four years, St. Aloysius High School has been not merely an institution, not merely a place wherein our minds have been educated, but a living thing, that has 'entwined itself about our hearts, so closely that we loathe to break the ties even to receive the diploma for which we have worked so hard. In our Freshman year, school spirit was instilled and with each succeeding year it has grown with leaps and bounds. We have been proud to be St. Aloysius High School Students. We have watched each Senior Class that passed from the portals of our school with a little envy, but much pity. Now, it is our turn, and it should be with pride and joy that we prepare to receive the diploma which testifres to the successful completion of our High School career at Saint Aloysius. To a certain extent this is true, yet these feelings are overshadowed by the thought that we are leaving the scene of four happy years. We feel that two reasons, especially, contributed to this happy and pleasant course that was ours. The first of these-our Spiritual Director, Father Duffy, whose modesty, kindliness and encouragement has made our stay so happy, that we reluctantly face the thought of departure. The second of these, our Faculty whose thoughtfulness and consideration has made the bond more difficult to break. The sadness and regret which is ours is somewhat assuaged by the thought that we leave a rich heritage for the succeeding classes. That our School will mean to those who follow us, all that it has meant to us is our fondest hope and prayer. FACULTY THE REVEREND MARK DUFFY Founder and Spiritual Director. THE REVEREND ALBERT P.

MARGARET JANE BLAKE upeggyu Glee Club '34, '35 Current Events '36 Cheer Leader '35, '36 Class Basketball '36 . Compressing a biography of Peg into a few brief sentences is a difficult task. Artistically speaking, she is the tops . Not only is she a marvelous actress and a mistress of the art of terpsichore, but also a clever artist. Adding these aesthetic characteristics to Pegs pleasing appearance and winning personality total a firm foundation for a successful career in almost any art she may choose. Page Seventeen EILEEN CECELIA CANAVAN Shorty Glee Club '54, '55 Catholic Action '36 Class Basketball '57 Aloysian Staff '37 In September of 1955, we met one who was to be the gem of the Class of 1937.

Our predictions for Eileen are the brightest. She has a desire to enter the nurs- ing field and she will succeed and fulfill our fondest expectations. Good luck, Eileen.

Her jolly, pleasant way has won the admiration of all her classmates and chums. Jeanne's cheery smile has brightened many dark clouds that have overshadowed her pals, She possesses, besides her ready wit, a keen mind-a very rare combination. Goodbye and ,best of luck, Jeanne. MARGARET MARIE CARTEN Mpeg, Catholic Action '34, '35 Class Basketball '36, '37 Glee Club '34, '35. Current Event Club '36 To find a more charming girl than Peg would be difficult. In her we find the attributes sig- nifying the typical Saint Aloysius girlhood- quietness and refinement. Peg's good matured laugh and willingness to please have endeared her to the hearts of all. When she leaves in June We are sure that success will be hers Wherever she may go. JAMES JCSEPH CHAPMAN Chippy Varsity Basketball '36, '37 Glee Club '35, '36 Secretary '37 Aloysian Staff '37 From the time Chippy first stepped quietly into St. Aloysius High School, he has been noted for his sincerity and manliness..

Whether reciting a too hastily prepared lesson or awaiting the starters gun at a track meet, this black haired youth radiates the faith in his ability to suc- ceed, a trait which we predict will carry him along life's road to accomplishment.

So far as his character is concerned, we may readily say that Terry has all the qualities for making a sincere friend. We wish you the best of luck, Terry. ' JOHN MICHAEL CORRIGAN History Club '34 French Club '35 Class Basketball ,37 Art Club '36 john presents a picture of modern youth- intensely active and vibrantly interested in what life has to offer. John has his serious moments too, for he can be independent in his undertakings.

Among her desirable traits we also find a keen sense of humor. Her way of know- ing when to and when not to be witty, is an example for all. In studies Mary ranks among the foremost. None of her subjects, event the most difficult, have seemed to give her trouble. Since we are not sure of Mary's plans for the future, we can do nothing but wish her the greatest success in whatever field she chooses.

THOMAS ALOYSIUS FLAHERTY Tom Varsity Basketball '36, '37 Varsity Track '37 Glee Club '35 History Club '34, '36 Behind Tom's cheery, blushing countenance is hidden an unflinching devotion to duty. This, ordinarily, would be unfavorable to him, but, on the contrary, it has placed, in our hearts, the strongest feelings of respect and admiration for Tom. Now, as he stands upon the threshhold of life, we do not doubt that Tom will be a success. He has all those quali- ties of manliness that spell naught but achieve- ment.

Regina jarmicki Treasurer . . Margaret Trodd Three years have passed since we first entered the corridors of Saint Aloysius. In these three years we have formed sincere friendships. But once more will this happy union occur. Next year we shall be filling the cherished place which we have strived to attain since our first days at Saint Aloysius. As we returned in September, we were greeted by all our old friends of whom we had lost track during the summer vacation. In addition, we were greeted by a number of new faces which made up the Freshmen class. Along with these acquaintances, we received old and new friends in the line of studies. The old friends were, of course, Religion, English, French, and Latin. In Latin class, we studied Cicero which proved to be quite a difficult selection. The only newcomer was Trigonometry, which though new, we found both interesting and enjoyable. By February we were quite accustomed to our studies. A glance at the Honor Roll will prove that it contains many of our names. Our endeavor in the line of sports was rewarded by having sev-en of our classmates rate positions on the Varsity Team, and three of our girls made up a cheer leading squad. Although our studies grew more difficult through the year, we were aided by the expert guidance of our teachers, whom we wish to thank for their earnest endeavors to direct us over the Sea of Knowledge. We assure them that our gratitude will outlast the year. Success has not crowned our efforts at every point, but we continue in the hope that the close of this year will find us a banner class. Now, with a touch of sadness we realize that our Seniors. will soon be leaving us. We hope that these students on leaving Saint Aloysius will apply the training that they have received here, and that they will enjoy all the success they deserve. MARGARET QUIRK Page Forly nine JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY 112 CLASS OFFICERS President . . . Thomas Boyd Vice-President . Aloysius Stewart Secretary . . james Wfeldon Treasurer .... Francis McCarthy So many times have we listened to the graduates speak of the sadness that is mixed with the joy of achievement that we feel it to be almost a hackneyed expression. Yet it is so very true that it admits of repetition. Leaving grammar school there is an element of sadness and of fright. High school is an adventure. Lucky are we whose fortune carried us to Saint Aloysius High School. None of us can give due tribute to our beloved Father Duffy and our Nuns, they have given us counsel and example that must necessarily have a permane-nt influence in our lives. During our Freshman and Sophomore years we naturally had many and varied experiences. But more interests were never crowded into one than in this our junior year. Father Duffy surely favored us when he joined all the third male students into one section. We were daily associated with the other boys whom we previously had known but vaguely. It afforded us the opportunity to appreciate and understand the character and sportsmanship of each of our classmates. The first month gave- us time to regain our sense of balance. The calls for basketball and track were issued by Coaches Fries and Keegan. It is needless to say that the response to this summons was enthusiastic. Several of our boys were accepted for the Varsity teams. In November the school play was presented and some- of our classmates, showing unusual ability, were picked for major roles. Our school spirit was shown to advantage by the financial returns of Patty . In February a new subject troubled and pleased us-we were beginning Trigonometry. At first it bothered our group, but as we progressed, we enjoyed our mathematics immensely. Having thus given an account of our junior year, we look forward with eager anticipation to the beginning of our Senior work. ROBERT BURKE 112 Page Fifzy one SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY lOl CLASS OFFICERS President .... Helen Flaherty Secretary-Treasurer . Catherine Sullivan After a pleasant vacation we returned to school ready for work and eager to resume our studies as Sophomores. We found that the arrangement of our classes had been changed. Our class was made up entirely of girls. and 102 of boys, while 103 remained unchanged. After the excitement which usually follows the opening of school had subsided and we were once more settled in the routine of our studies, we suddenly realized that as Sophomores we had only two more years to reach our goal. Our Freshmen days had gone alto- gether too swiftly. With Sister Claire Regina as our Moderator the months passed rapidly. We were earnestly trying to master they more diihcult subjects of our Sophomore year. As athletics take an important place on the school calendar, many from our class tried for the honor of making the Varsity. However, we are represented by one member of our class and many of those who did not make the Varsity are satisfied in at least making the class team. Upon our return after the Christmas vacation We found a new Moderator in place of Sister Claire Regina under whose guiding influence we have since endeavored to make our class an outstanding one. Exams had come and gone and we were soon able to breathe freely again as we settled down to our second SemeSter's work. After the Varsity Schedule was finished we played inter-class games. We also played Saint Aloysius Academy as we had the previous year. We sincerely hope that the remaining two years at Saint Alyosius will be filled with the same joyous days that we have experienced in our Freshmen and Sophomore years. In closing we wish to extend our heartiest congratulations and wish the best of luck to the Seniors. MARY LOUISE OyBRIEN Page Fifty tha ee T2 SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY 102 CLASS OFFICERS President ....

Peter Quintano September 1936-and then comes the morning when our dreams are rudely shattered and we hear, far in the distance, a voice which informs us that school time is nigh. Hustle and bustle, for spick and span we must appear when we look down with tolerant amusement upon those lowly Freshmen. We've got the school-time swing again, and as the months roll along and 1956 rapidly draws to a close, new miracles of knowledge are unfolded. Time out for Christmas vacation. But here we are again ready to clear the hurdles of mid-year exams , February, March, April-and nature is donning its green while we are shedding ours. For arenlt we almost through our second year? We're acquir- ing the poise of seasoned scholars. Summer at last .... Now only a few more days and we're already busy, congratulating the class of 1957 for a job well done. And now, thanks to the untiring -efforts of our Sisters and Teachers, we have reached the half-way mark. Next term we'll be-but let's stop th-ere . . . The last bell of our Sophomore year has rung. JAMES DESMOND Page Fifty-jfve SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY 103 CLAss OFFICERS President . . . William Moran Vice-President . Dorothy Smith Secretary . . . . Rita Dunne Treasurer .... Henry Fryczynski It was September 10th, and school had opened once again! But this year returning to school did not mean to us a cessation of our happiness but rather an increase of it. This may at first seem odd, but realize our emotions upon finding ourselves no longer insignificant Freshmen but tried and true Sophomores. Although most of the other classes were separated into either a section of all boys or all girls, our group remained together. Only a few of the familiar faces were missing. With William Moran as our president a second time, we vigorously tackled our studies. Now we are supposed to have a good fundamental knowledge of Latin and French. We sometimes speak to one another in either language. When we were first introduced to Geometry, we thought it would frighten us, but time proved the case to be different. Nothing can daunt 103. Of course, we know all about Ivanhoe and Silas Marner. just ask us who wrote a certain poem and we are, or should be, able to give you all the statistics of the poet's life. Of athletics 103 can also boast. Several of our members have made the Varsity or junior Varsity Teams. In all interclass tournaments we have taken active part. So now as Sophomores, next year as juniors, and finally as Seniors, we shall weather all our troubles and wholeheartedly support any school undertaking.

Bernice Marx The whistle has been blown and the game of High School has begun. We, as Freshmen, have a long fight ahead of us to march down the field of learning and to reach our goal- Graduation . Our hearts, are filled with yearning to become true Aloysians. We want to feel that we are a part of the noble student body which composes this great High School. The Freshmen wish to carry on the great name of Saint Aloysius and to increase its prestige in the fields of learning and sport. As we walk through the halls of our newly adopted Alma-Mater, the images of our eminent alumni appear before us and our hearts cannot help but be lifted to higher ideals. The students of previous years have done their share in glorifying our school. They have all helped to build the great monument in whose protecting shadow we are now standing. They have truly laid the foundation of this great edifice and their memorial shall not be desecrated. It's there to stay, as a living tribute to them, and a goal which we shall en- deavor to reach. Not only to reach it, but by noble deeds and determination build it still higher, shall ever be out aim. We, the class of '40, wish to dedicate, in accordance with the rest of the school, these verses to Saint Aloysius and the Seniors of our Alma-Mater, that they may be engraved in the heart of every Aloysian and that they may be kept burning there, as a beacon light, to help guide our ships into port. 'Neath the Spire of our cathedral Stands a High School fine and rare There's no Alma-Mater dearer To the students in her care. The standard of this school's great name Is the code by which we live Truth and Honor, Virtue, justice To our Alma-Mater give.

David Dineen Secretary . . . james Moeller Treasurer . . Robert Castner A year has come and gone, and we, the Freshmen class, are caught between two emotions-one prompts us to be happy and proud at the thought of being Sophomores, while the other urges us to be sad and forlorn because we are leaving behind some of the most pleasant days of our lives. With the help of the Faculty we have tried during our initial year of high school to build a strong and sound foundation to uphold the work that we are to face in the future years. The new studies of Latin and Algebra dis,- couraged us in the beginning, but due to the helping hands of our teachers we believe that we have mastered these subjects as well as the classes before us. We can now review with satisfaction our achievements in the realm of sports. Although there were no Freshmen on the Varsity, we are certain that our class will be well represented on the future teams of Saint Aloysius. In dramatics, however we were well represented. From our class there were five members in the play presented by the Freshmen classes before the Christmas holidays. The play was unquestionably a great success. Now that the first year has come to a close, and as we look back and see the many true friends we have acquired, we cannot help but say to ourselves, If the joys and happiness which we have experienced during our first year can only be equalled in the next three, we shall have stored up a rich treasure of pleasant memories of our school days at Saint Aloysius.

We left the safety of the harbor of Vacation knowing that our journey would take over ten months, but we had consolation in the fact that we would gain a knowledge of Latin, Algebra, History, Re- ligion and English. We owe a great deal to Father Duffy, Father Mooney and Sister Mary Gertrude. The teachers who so successfully piloted us through the storms were: Sister Anita Therese, Sister Agnes Mary, Sister Helen Edward, Sister joseph Angela, Sister Clair Regina whom we lost at midterm, Sister Veronique and Miss Amoroso. We must also thank Miss Reilly and Mr. Keegan, our physical training instructors. With our destination in sight and a good wind with us, the crew of 93 bids you farewell until next year.

High School is only a preparation for life, an introduction to life, both intellectually and socially, by means of formal studies and extra-curricular activities. We were fortunate in becoming a part of Saint Aloysius High School and having as our guide, Father Duffy, our beloved Pastor, since we have been iven ever means within his ower to make ourselves ood Catholic men and 8 Y P 8 women, capable of taking our place in the numerous fields of endeavor that lie before us. Although it is not our place to say whether we have achieved our aims or not, nevertheless, we have become mature enough to feel that we have made some progress in that direction. We started our High School life with feelings of importance, since we had been in the limelight in our small grammar school world, but we were quickly shown our places by the Sophomores. For we can still remember when the girls were ordered, by the Sophomores, to come to school wearing green bows in their hair and the boys, bow ties of crepe paper or suffer some horrible punishment. In order to learn a thing well, it should be taken gradually. So it was with us: in our first year we merely furthered our formal education and watched others do things. We had our chance to adapt ourselves to High School life by par- ticipating in the choruses of the school play The Road To Yesterday . Our second year was somewhat similar to Freshman year in that we still watched others, of the upper classes, in the extra-curricular activities of the School, but there was a noticeable change, for besides having several names on the Honor Roll in studies during the course of the year, we were well repre- sented in athletics. Edward Connolly was on the Basketball Team, while Frank Guilfoyle and Mike Finn made the Track Team-our girls were represented by Gertrude Keegan, Ruth Norton, Catherine Reynolds and Rosemary Nugent on the Girls Varsity. We had not been in school long when we learned that part of the meeting room had been transformed into a library. We investigated and found it to be a most comfortable retreat in which to do our research work. Still another innovation that made our life at Saint Aloysius High more com- fortable was the new Cafeteria where we could enjoy our lunch before the afternoon sessions. Since breakfast could be served in the Cafeteria, the students received Holy Communion in a body every First Friday. Thus we acquired the habit of starting the month with a worthy recognition of our Creator. Page Sixty-six About a month after the start of our Junior year, we were faced with the grim realities of life. Sister Mercedita, our Principal, was called to her Eternal Reward. Those in anyway connected with the School or with Sister, were deeply grieved by her death, for she was one of the finest Sisters it had ever been our good fortune to know. She was not only our Principal, but our friend and advisor as well. Our grief was alleviated by the arrival of Sister Mary Gertrude who has won the affection and loyalty of all. It was during our third year that we took a really active part in the affairs at school. We learned the art of debating. Several of our classmates took part in debates with the Senior class. These debates gave us poise and confidence. In sports we excelled. There w-ere four fellows from our class on the Boys' Basketball Team, we had six girls on the Girls, Basketball Team, and our class boasted of six baseball men. As regards sports, however, we made our greatest showing in track. For we won the Intra-Mural Track Meet and received a plaque, while Michael Finn of our class was awarded the trophy for individual honors. One- of our classmates, Edward Connolly had a principal part in the school play. In the later part of the year we gave the outgoing Seniors a successful Prom. Thus we were well pleased with our accomplishments and we felt certain that our class was prepared for a glorious Senior year. At the beginning of our final year we resolved to make this a red-letter year. Early in the year we put on a very successful play, Patty , Then we engaged in several debates. The most important of which was the one held with Our Lady of Good Counsel High School. In the field of sport we boasted of the same athletes as in our third year, with a few additions in track, consisting of Tom Flaherty and Tom Morris., while Walter McNally became a member of the Baseball Team. Thus we close a quatrain of years in S. A. H. with mingled emotions of joy and sadness: joy because of our accomplishments, Sadness because we are leaving our Alma Mater which has taken a place deep in our hearts from which it will never be dislodged. We shall always look back to the days at S. A. H. with pleasant recollections of the past. Memories of happy and fruitful years.

Is it possible that it has been ten long years since the class of 'thirty-seven ceased to exist as a class and became a group of individuals each seeking his destiny in life? My, what a long speech, Jeanne! But it is true even though it see-ms hardly possible. I suppose the rest of the class had the same reaction when they received the announcement of the Supper-Dance Reunion. Dr. John McCarthy told me that approximately ninety per cent of the class of 'thirty-seven will be here tonight. 1 Isn't that grand! Let's sit over there at that table where we can see every- body and everything. Look who just came in! Marjorie jewkes and james Chapman! Don't they make a handsome couple? I hear that Marjorie has her offices in the new Radio City building, designed by none other than her handsome escort. Oh, there's Rosemary Judge. Suppose we get her to sit with us. She surely will have many things to tell us after five years of travel abroad. I'll get her while you go in search of Peggy Carten, the 'Times' columnist. 'Shall I reserve this table for your party, miss? Yes, please do, waiter. Here we are at last! I thought I'd never get back to you. I've spoken to practically everyone in our class. Rosemary! I'm so glad to see you! My, but your gown is stunning! Do you like it, Florence? This is one of Mary Kelly's creationsf, Ulsnlt that odd? Mine was designed by Alfred Herrmann. Speaking of gowns reminds me that I received an announcement yesterday of the grand opening of Mary Monahan's and Claire Moranls 'Maire Gown Shoppefl' Why, Eddie Connolly! How glad I am to see youf, 'lNot any happier than I am, Florence, and there's Walter McNally just dying to see you, too. Illl tell you a secret about Walter. Next week Fordham Law School will confer upon him an honorary degree of Doctor of Law for his outstanding crusade against juvenile delinquency. That is a surprise. But what about yourself? I'm coaching St. Aloysius' basketball team. Didn't you hear we won the Hudson Country Championship last year and expect to win the Tri-County Trophy this year? Best wishes, Eddie. I know you'll succeed. By the way, have you seen any of the old classmates lately? I was talking to Ruth Norton and Frank Guilfoyle at a dance last week. Didnlt Frank bring fame to the class by breaking the existing mile- record? Ruth isn't doing so badly herself as a Congressional Representative in Washing- ton. I guess Iill be running along now. I have to meet some friends of mine. Goodbye, Eddie. Be sure to keep in touch with us. 'KI think it would be a good idea to have a dance in the spring, don't you, Rosemary? We could invite all our friends and have Peggy Blake's 'Modern Maidens' play for us. Hasn't she skyrocketed to fame with- Hello, everybody. You have been talking among yourselves so long that I couldn't wait to have a word with Peggy Cartenf' Mary Williams! I'm so glad to see you. Tell me all about yourself. What have you been doing? Page Sevenly-one I graduated from Katherine Gibbs' Secretarial School and am now working as Secretary to Thomas Flaherty, Editor of the !Aloysian'. Won't you sit down, Mary? Rosemary, you haven't yet begun a history of your travels? Do tell us about them. UAS you remember, I sailed on the 'King Edward the VII', whose skipper was none other than Dennis Simonetti. I went directly to Naples where I met Michael Manieri, who is studying for grand opera. After lunching with him, I flew to Paris, where I met William McCarthy. He's an aeronautical engineer and frequently in his work consults with Frank Reilly, Second Mate on the new dirigible, 'The Franklin Delano Roosevelt' By the way, is Bill here tonight? Oh, yes, there he is, talking with Marjorie Kelly. I heard that Marjorie is in line for a vice-principalship in one of the local schools. Isnlt she fortunate? Sh! Letxs listen to the announcement. Isn't that grand? Terence Clarkin and Leona Quinn have very willingly consented to sing a duet from their forthcoming musical production. Jeanne, isn't it simply thrilling to think that we went to school with two of the world's most famous stars ? 'iIt seems to me, Florence, that the class of 'thirty- seven is contributing in no small way to this world's work. Yes, indeed. There are Evelyn Dickleman and Doris Laveratt in the nursing profession. Wl1ere are Doris and Evelyn now ?', Evelyn is head of the children's ward at All Souls Hospital and Doris is registrar of Christ Hospital School of Nursing. I suppose you've heard that Bernadette Mulvaney and Eileen Canavan are, at the present, finishing their last year of interning at the Medical Center. Eileen is then going on to specialize in pediatrics while Bernadette has chosen surgery as her major. 'iBy the way, Jeanne, isn't this food delicious ? That reminds me, Florence. I had lunch the other day at that new tea- room at the Square. Three guesses as to who runs it!,' UI canit imagine. Someone in the class? Yes, Grace Barry, Mary Darcy and Margaret Williains.'l K'How nice. Let's. have lunch there next weekf, 'tlt must be getting late. Everyone seems ready to leave. Let's hurry. I want to see some of our other celebrities. Whom do you mean? Orville Killoran and Rosemary and Jimmy Nugent. Orville is now a famous scientist, having discovered four new sources of radium. Rosemary and Jimmy are dancing nightly at the modernized 'Moonlit Palace'. . Jeanne, didn't you know that George Leach was the architect for that build- ing and that Patricia Donahue modeled the outdoor fountains?H No, I didn't. Isn't that a coincidence! Didn't you mention something about visiting the Edison laboratories, Rosemary? 1'Yes, indeed. I wouldnlt miss going there. You knew that Simon Larkin and Mary Zabouski are valuable chemists there. Isn't that wonderful! By the way, I just remembered I had a letter from Anne Wandle. She tells me she is studying to be a beautician in Paris. Ac- cording to her everyone over there is reading Peter de Young's famous French translation of 'Piece de Resistance' by Audrey Walsh, winner of the Nobel Page Sewenfy-two Prize. Incidentally, Rosemary, donlt forget to tune in next Sunday to hear Agnes McIntyre deliver her hilarious lecture on the age-old problem-'How many cherubs can sit on the point of a needlef On Wednesday afternoon Lillian McCloskey continues her discussion on the serious necessity of reviving Latin as a living language. These two Aloysians offer a perfect contrast be- tween the sublime and the ridiculous. Don't miss themf' I won't. Thanks for reminding me, Florence. Jeanne, is that Dot Gammell looking this way? So it is. Oh, Dot, come on overf' Hello, everybody. You certainly are all looking well. Why, Jeanne Byrne, I've been looking all over for you and Ruth Fitzsimmons. We have a three o'clock appointment for next Tuesday to model the gowns for Thomas Morris' new Theatre Guild play which opens next week. Dot, was that John Corrigan I saw you talking to ? Yes, and what do you think? Contrary to popular expectation, john did not follow in his father's footsteps but, believe it or not, he's a baby specialist! Never! That is news! Have you any more? I suppose you've heard about Michael Finn's brilliant contribution regarding the fifth dimension. He tried to induce Kathleen May to have it published in the 'Womenls Guide' of which she is assistant editor. Therels Anthony Feeney over there and I do want to see him. He certainly is prospering since his com- pany received the contract for the new Tri-State Elevated Highway. Will you excuse me P 'lOf course, Dot. We'll see you again. Good-bye. 'lIncidentally, Rosemary, while I think of it, will' you drive with me up to Vassar next Friday? Ann Flanagan, the Dean of Women, has invited a group of us to hear the Musical Clubls recital. Marie Resch is faculty advisor of the club and has succeeded in securing Mary Crowley, concert pianist, as guest artist for the afternoon. Mary's recital at Carnegie Hall attracted much at- tention and this will be a great opportunity to hear her again. What do you think of my plan?,' It's fine. And I have another to add to it. On that same evening the 'American Sportsmen' are giving a dinner at Boston and Kay Reynolds, busi- ness manager of the American Athletic Association, sent me four guest tickets. Do you think we can make it? Of course. I wouldn't for the world miss seeing Kay present Gert Keegan with a medal for her outstanding athletic achievements. I wonder if Gert is still the same happy-go-lucky girl we used to knowf' I'm sure the honor of winning the Decathalon at the Olympics in Finland, even though a staggering feat, would never change Gertrudef' Girls, are you going to break up this hen party? I should think you would have run out of gossip by this time. Besides, the crowd is waiting for you. i'We,ll be right out. But first we have to announce our dance. Forget that for the present. We're going to have a party at jeanne's house in two weeks and we'll discuss it then. Come now, get your coatsf' Oh, all right. Good-night. We'll see you at jeanne's. FLORENCE AILEEN TAYLoR.

Considering oratory and public addresses essential parts of education, Father Duffy engaged the able services of Professor Downey, and added Public Speaking to our curriculum. Professor Downey organized the first Saint Aloysius Debating Society in 1934. Until now, the activities of the society have been entirely inter-class but we of ,37 have gone beyond this field. A team has been organized to go forth to battle with wits and words. These contests will give the debaters the chance to win and to meet new audiences. There is promise of great talent in the under-classes and we wish them the greatest success. We, the class of '57 hope the Saint Aloysius Debating Society will rise to untold heights in the future. ORVILLE KILLORAN Page Eigbfy-fam' THE DRAMATIC SOCIETY President . . . . Leona Quinn Vice-President . . . Agnes McIntyre Secretary-Treasurer . . Marjorie jewkes The Dramatic Society of Saint Aloysius High School, consisting of Leona Quinn, Agnes McIntyre, Marjorie jewkes, Terence Clarkin, Simon Larkin, Evelyn Dickelman, Gertrude Keegan, Catherine Reynolds and John McCarthy, commenced its activities in the fall. This Society is one of the oldest and most important organizations of the High School. The success of its members is due to the zealous efforts of Professor Downey, in developing in them poise and oratorical diction. The outstanding accomplishment of this group was the play l'Patty produced in November. The desire of the Dramatic Society is that the succeeding members of this group will imitate the preceding ones in their endeavors. EILEEN CANAVAN Page Eighty-15119 Edward Connolly Eileen Canavan Evelyn Dickelman james Chapman Ruth Norton Rosemary Nugent Simon Larkin Page Eiglory-tix TRAFFIC SQUAD Frank Guilfoyle Bernadette Mulvaney Claire Moran Audrey Walsli Walter McNally Jeanne Byrne Michael Finn THE BLESSED SACRAMENT SODALITY Wliat is more fitting and proper to a Catholic High School than a society dedicated to the Eucharistic Christ? In my estimation, there is nothing that is more appropriate. Led by the inspiring zeal of Sister Dorothy Louise, the sodality has flourished. Its sodalists are called the Knights and Handmaids of the Lord. Everyone knows, that in the medieval times the Knights were the staunch defenders of Christendom. Today, We have the Knights and Handmaids of the Blessed Sacrament in a combat against sin, that invades and attacks the soul, causing a deficit of grace. It is a noble crusade captained by the little round white Host of the Eucharistic Christ, Wliose commands are instilled into the hearts of the sodalists, once every week, by their reception of His Body and Blood. They carry out His wishes, by praying for unbelievers, the hard of heart, and mem- bers who have strayed from the true fold. All this is done for the propagation of God's Kingdom on Earth. I The only meeting held, is that attended by every member on the First Friday of the month. Thus each student of the High School completes the cycle of nine Holy Communions, from October to june. Immediately following the First Friday Mass, a breakfast, financed by the students themselves, is held in the School Cafeteria. Thus, the nucleus of the Blessed Sacrament Sodality, which is the Spotless Host, acts in its members, as a spiritual antidote against the wiles of the world, the flesh and the devil. EILEEN CANAVAN Page Eighty-rezfen OUR ALUMNI As all former Seniors, the class of 1937 looks forward to their graduation day, after which they become members of Saint Aloysius High School Alumni. Its members have done all that they could to help us during our high school days, and we hope they will continue to help the many classes that follow in their footsteps and in our path. In 1936 the Alumni started what is called a Scholarship Fund . Its purpose is to further the education of a Senior of the Graduating Class. In attempting to carry out this desire they found one question that could not be overlooked: by what means could they procure money to establish the Fund and complete their plans? After quite some thought and deliberation it was decided to carry out a social program which would afford pleasure to the persons upon whom the organization was dependent. In the early Fall there was a card party, which was a huge success. Everyone who attended, undoubtedly returned home with pleasant thoughts, which shall long be remembered. In january, they spon- sored their annual Winter Dance at the Hotel Ambassador and this, too, was a memorable evening. Now they are planning the final affair for the current season, a Spring Dance at the Yountakah Country Club. As yet, it is im- possible to measure results, but if its success approaches expectations it will be by far the event of the season. Social functions are not the only interests of the Alumni. In December many of its members participated in the boys' and girls' Alumni Basketball game, and after the track season 'had begun they again showed their loyalty and gave the High School Boys quite a bit of competition in a Dual Meet. We have always respected our Alumni for their activities in behalf of our Alma Mater, and have always yearned to become one of its members. Now, since we have shown ourselves to be true Aloysians, so shall we strive to be true members of the Alumni. RUTH I. NoRToN. Page Eighty-eighz WWEWEWR M.

KEEGAN Wlien we heard that Miss Reilly was no longer going to coach the girls' team, we were quite depressed. However, this downheartedness soon vanished and we joyfully received the news that our new coach was to be i'Everyone's Friend -Miss Angela Keegan. Miss Keegan graduated from Saint Aloysius with the class of '32. While in our High School she took part not only in basketball but in many other athletic activities. She became interested in this work and decided to continue in that field. September of 1953 found her among the freshmen students of Savage, where during her three years she was well known and liked. We are sincerely grateful to Miss Keegan for her work in our behalf, and we hope her success this year will inspire her to greater heights in the years to come. RUTH INEZ NORTON,, 37 L-5 VIRGINIA REILLY QUIGLEY For the past six years Saint Aloysius has been fortunate enough to have Miss Reilly as its Athletic Directress. In that time she has not only gained our respect and admiration, but that or our predecessors-the members of our Alumni. From the time of her coming, due to her characteristic go-to-it-iveness , the athletics at Saint Aloysius have grown to a great height. Her efforts have made class basketball, baseball, hockey, and volleyball teams possible for girls. She has played a great part in our interclass track meet in which many of the present students of the school have participated. Words are inadequate to express our gratitude and appreciation to Miss Reilly. All of us join in hoping that her ever increasing success will continue in the future. ' RUTH INEZ NoRToN, '37 Page Ninely LESLIE A. FRIES When Lesh came to Saint Aloysius, we really started our athletic career. Since then we've had several championship teams, members of which, through his coaching, have gone on to star on teams of different colleges. Why shouldn't we have had championship teams when they were coached by a man who knew the ins and outs of the sports he coached? He, himself, was a star basketball player both in college and professionally before he came to out school. Les not only taught his teams the rudiments of basketball and baseball but also taught them to play the game hard and clean. In other words he impressed upon them sportsmanship, a lesson which they will carry with them through- out their lives. In closing, we, the Seniors, wish to tend to him our sincerest gratitude for his guidance in the past and the assurance that we will lend all the support necessary in the future. ANTHONY FEENEY, ,37 Q., RICHARD V. KEEGAN Wluen We consider the achievements of the boys' track team since Mr. Keegan has been coach, we feel that the wonderful record made by them can be in no small measure attributed to the coach. The team this year made an excellent record, a record that those who come after us will have a difficult task in equalling. FRANK GUILFOYLE Page Ninety-one BOYS' BASKETBALL TEAM Coach-Leslie A.

Since the advent of our Coach Mr. Keegan, some two years ago, we have enjoyed almost unparalleled success. Under his watchful eye, the squad has developed from inexperienced material into a team par excellencefl Our Cross Country Team has felt the thrill of one success after another. Witlu Frank Guilfoyle, one of the outstanding stars, and Thomas Morris, a promising newcomer, setting the pace, we were victorious over Ferris and Good Counsel. Then our Scarlet and White harriers topped an almost perfect season by taking second place in the Catholic Championships. It was the indoor State Championships in which our men reached the heights, when nine of our runners took part and seven of them placed in the finals. Frank Guilfoyle Hashed through the 440, breaking the record and becoming State Champion of the group II Prep. Schools. Thomas Flaherty broke another record finishing a shade behind the State Champion in the 220. Edward Mara took second place in the high-jump, while others performed with credit. In the Seton Hall Meet the Aloysian Relay Team displayed fine form and finished close behind the winning combination. Thus we finished our indoor season on the wooden track. We are entering the outdoor season with high hopes and best prospects for a successful campaign. For all these achievements and those to come, we extend our thanks to our Coach, Mr. Keegan. JOHN MCCARTHY 121 Page Niffcfg - six GIRLS' TRACK TEAM As the last of our happy years draws to a close we feel it is only appropriate to pay tribute to those who have represented the school on the girl's track team. In all their contests they showed the same spirit that has helped to make the athletic teams at Saint Aloysius so renowned. We think great thanks is due the coach, Mrs. Quigley, for the excellent work she has done with the team. ROSEMARY A. NUGENT Page Ninety-.reven CHEERLEADERS Agnes M.
