As a young priest, he was moyed hy the religious ignorance and indifference of his parishioners to found a society to teach children the fundamental truths of faith and save them for the church. From a small nucleus of uneducated farmer boys was developed the worldwide teaching institute of the Marist Brothers numbering 14.000 members, forming young men in the spirit of Christ and their Founder. That his work, so modestly envisioned and so hunihly begun. was the work of faith and trust in God, the Holy See recognized on May 29, 1955 when Marcellin Champagnat was declared Blessed hy our Holy lfather.

Y You Can Chan e the World In our incessantly troubled world, so plagued by misunderstanding among its inhabitants, a new con- cept of reform has arisen. In name, it is the Chris- tophers, founded by Father James Keller. ln practice, however, they are merely a group of sincere people unhed in the behefthatthey,through then'indr vidual actions may play a small part in promoting peaceful co-existence within our world. Singly, our enonrnaybesnmH,butmHkcnvdythdreiemdsfar reaching. This then is a Christopher, a person dedi- cated to the belief, It is better to light one candle, than to curse the darkness. We, as seniors, are prepared to shed our bonds of childhood and enter this world as Catholic men. As we permeate our various fields of endeavor, we possess the gift of a Catholic education. Let us not waste it. Each of us is a Christopher, a Christ bearer. Within us is the power of Christg His goodness, His charity, His love. We need just release it. Our single efforts will become part of a multitude of efforts, re- incarnanng Ckxfs qnrn on eardr VVe can change the world, if each one of us but bears Christ into his own chosen field.

Only through the efforts of Monsignor, could our school have increased its student body, teaching staff and curriculum to its present status.

An inspiration in the classroom, a sincere friend as our advisor in senior year, Brother George has aided and encouraged each of us on his path of success. We hope that this dedication will in some small way convey our appreciation for his unending, untiring and unselfish effort on our behalf and that of the entire school. BROTHER GEORGE ROBERT, F.M.S.

Each one of the graduates, individually can recall the many inspirational hours spent here. As freshmen, we walked across the large field for the first time, not knowing what to expect. Our first year was one of confusion, since con- struction was still going on and there were few luxuries. When it rained there were leaks in the classrooms and the window sills were piled high with books and clothes. All of us should remem- ber Brother Vincent, our first principal, and his Eager Beavers. Of course, who could forget the way we used to stand out in the rain, and get so wet that we induced Brother Vincent to send us home. Then too, there were Brother Gabriel Vin- cent's movies and shares in his consumer coop- erative. It was during that year that we lost: Brother Felix Eugene, who left for the Philippines. But whatever experiences we encountered, pleas- ant or unpleasant, we took pleasure in sharing them with each other. As we entered second year, we were in for a few surprises. Our hrst surprise was Brother James with his famous or rather infamous Ultra Club. The coming of Mr. Kelly augmented the increasing spirit at the basketball games. However, the things which we hold nearest our hearts, were the mem- ories of the annual boat rides, Bazaar and St. Patrick's Day parades. Our annual retreats were times also of great grace and peace. Our third year at St. Helena's was the most outstanding, because there were so many memor- able occasions and changes. First, Brother James succeeded Brother Vincent as principal. Secondly, Brother Paul Michael started the CROSS- CROWN. Among the other events that we will always recall were: Room Service, presented by the Genesians, the Sodality with its canned food drive and other activities afforded us an oppor- tunity to gain spiritual merit. It was just about this time that the basketball, baseball and track teams began to put St. Helena's on the map. The Brothers were also the subject of many of our memories. Brother George's enlightening periods and his famous saying yuz guys will not be for- fottenf' There was also Brother Peter who became so excited during algebra that he put his hand through the wall. Then too, who could ever for- get Brother Christopher's drill team. Finally Brother Henry's famous short quizzes C1-501. Of course, some Brothers have departed from St. Helena's and new ones have come, but they will remain always in our hearts. But now we enter our final year at St. Helena's. But as things go, things happen. Who will forget those involved in the jug slip scandal? But let us look at the bright side of things. On December 8th, Monsignor Scanlan blessed and presented us with our senior rings. It was during that evening that the newly founded glee club made its debut. Still another example of our school's growth was the establishing of our first Student Council. While our school has changed much since the time we entered as freshmen, increasing in num- ber and modernizing in appearance, we have ac- cumulated through our four years stay, many memories. These memories, of a school of which we are proud, will live with us throughout our life. St. Helena's on parade The barn dance On the feast of the Immaculate Conception one of the most anticipated events of senior year took place. At a very im- pressive ceremony which was attended by many of our parents, the seniors received their class rings. After address- ing a few words to both parents and seniors, Monsignor Scan- lan, assisted by Brother James and Brother Christopher pro- ceeded to bless and distribute the rings. During the Benedic- tion of the Blessed Sacrament which followed, the seniors, in the person of John Goggin, president of the student coun- cil, dedicated themselves to the Blessed Virgin. Later, the parents of the seniors joined their sons in the school cafeteria where refreshments were served, while the glee club rendered a few numbers under the direction of Brother Damian Victor.

Presided over by John Goggin, its first president, and moderated very capably by Brother Christopher, the organization went all thc way to forge a closer link between the students and their faculty. Such activities as dances, skating parties, etc. . . .have been some of the wonderful binding forces that have made the students at St. Helena's ONE. May this young organization gain in prestige and reknown in the years which follow so that which was begun in '55 may prove an asset and not a burden to the spirit which has sparked St. Helena's throughout the entire year. ,X The oldest and most active of all soclal extra curricular actrvltres ln the school IS the Geneslans The orgamzatlon was founded by Brother Fellx Eugene who IS now servmg rn the Phllrppme mxs srons smce September of 1951 Brother Francls Thomas the present moderator replaced lnm rn September of 1952 and has smce then done a wonderful job lt was IH thrs year that he produced the school s first three act la entrtled Brother first barn dance which has become an annual alfalr Last year an all out production of tne Broadway hlt Room Service set a precedent which was followed by thls year s product on of Arsemc and Old Lace Contmued success ln the future to thls orgam zatron that enables fellow students to further the cause of Samt Helena s to educate the full man both splrrtually and mtellectually SA QI'lQ5l6U'l:5 The mam characters of this years presentatlon Arsenic and Old Lace An mformal rehearsal wlth Brother Francis 8 The un sung heroes of Arsenlc and Old Lace T Hart P Creamer E Garvey J Sandstrom R Dono hue B Suess : L X L x t - 1 Q X L .44 .

S .,,, Moderated by Brothers Paul Wilfred, Philip Richard, and Joseph Gregory, the Audio Club has become one of the most flourishing activities in St. Helena's. This organization enables the member to obtain a workable knowledge of radio theory. He may also acquire an amateur's license by learning code which has been conveniently recorded by the Brothers. Projects are encouraged, and crystal sets, one-tube radios and other equipment may be constructed. When these are completely fabricated they are experimented with, per- fected, and the information obtained applied to other fields. Materials and tools are sup- plied by the Club. The Brother moderators are always on hand ready and willing to give aid whenever it is needed. The dreams that Brother Paul had when he established the Audio Club are now a reality-a reality which we know will have its fruition in years to come when it is applied more directly to a chosen held in electronics. 70 lay out men R Rumpf .1 d D n Edwards get together wnth P Brosnan of the photography staff ,f hm?

Under the capable and enthusiastic coaching of .lack Mahoney the Crusaders ended the season with the Bronx Cham pionship and a 9-3 record. After having lost the first non-league game, the team under the co-captainship of Bob Lee and Harry Norum went on to win the first round of league games. The two defeats in the second round were suffered at the hands of Manhattan Prep and St. George. A victorious play-off game with Tolentine at Babe Ruth Stadium gave St. Helena the championship trophy of the Bronx division With the cheering support of many students the Crusaders faced Bishop Loughlin of Brooklyn for the third place C.H.S.A.A. standing at Ebbets Field.

Again this year St. Helena's fielded a J.V. baseball team, to prepare its younger players for future service on the varsity. Following the school's tradition of participating in the major sports of the C.H.S.A.A., St. Helena's joined the newly founded C.H.S.A.A. J.V. baseball league in the Spring. Disregarding the won and lost column, a fine spirit pervaded the club. Co-captained by Joe Murphy and Gus Pagnotta the team struggled from losing streaks to show signs of brilliance upon occasion. R. Knapp, J. Thornton, T. Lillis, J . Murphy and P. Mancinelli composed the in- field. T. McCusker, R. Schlegel, H. Finegan along with the pitchers roamed the outfield. Our mound corps was formed by R. Mongiello, R. Donohue, D. Schmidt, and P. Wheeler. C. Pagnotta and N. Garone dooned the tools of ignorance. Our equipment was capably handled by E. Carleton. First row: R. McCusker, R. Donohue, N.

As a child, he gave little indication of any exceptional talent, unless it were an inclina- tion toward religion and the service of God. Recognizing a call to the priesthood, he worked hard as a young man to overcome the deficiencies caused by a lack of early schooling. Love of God and a resolute belief in his vocation enabled him to surmount all ob- stacles and he was ordained to the priesthood. As a young priest, he was moved by the religious ignorance and indifference ofuhis parishioners to found a society to teach children the fundamental truths of faith and save them for the church. From a small nucleus of uneducated farmer boys was developed the worldwide teaching institute of the Marist Brothers numbering 14,000 members, forming young men in the spirit of Christ and their Founder. That his work, so modestly envisioned and so humbly begun, was the work of faith and trust in God, the Holy See recognized on May 29, 1955 when Marcellin Champagnat was declared Blessed by our Holy Father, Pope Pius XII.
