Deuce Sheridan started his rise to tame as a stellar performer on the hardwood, With the junior year came the realization that halt of our high school career was over, We were immediately dazed by in- tricate Physics calculations and experiments. Yet, we still found time tor co-curricula activities. We shall long remember Ron Austin's oration ot On The Wire for which he received the Junior Elocution Trophy. We were thrilled by the great line play of Tom Sweeney and the spectacular pass receiving ot Bill Dwyer in the Turkey Day Classic. Frank Bausch rose to the position of Sports Editor ofthe Red Owl, while Andy Sichenze was now Staff Photographer. Tom lrwin and John McAneny lent their talents to the Tennis Team to capture the Eastern Tennis Tournament. Finally we came to our most cherished goal, our senior year. Despite the tact that we had hoped and prayed for this day, we now were sorry that it had come. We realized that this would be our last play, our last boat ride, our last dance, our last athletic contests, our last everything at St. John's. We were determined to make every instant count. Ron Austin and Gerry Bennet starred in Luciters Lodgen, Pat Gilmartin was named Editor-in-Chief of the Red Owl, while Dick Brostowin took on the double role of Yearbook Sports Editor and Red Owl Feature Editor. ln Septem- ber, Jerry Mayer was elected to the Student Council Presidency. And so it was on January 25. that we received our diplomas. Outwardly we were happy, but inwardly there was a deep feeling of regret. We may say sincerely that we have strived to do our best. We only hope that we have succeeded in bringing honor and prestige to the Prep. FRANCES JOHN BRADY Intramurals l, 2, 3, 4a Forum 23 Student Council l. This cheerful, well liked Prepster, one of the Bay Ridge Brady's, is popularly recognized as t e Dick McGuire of the intramurals. He hopes to open a business of his own some- day.

Sorrowfully we tried to hold back the ever moving wings of time. But this was impossible. Now we have but memories. Just four short years ago, ninety-six bewildered boys entered the spacious halls of the Moore Memorial Building. Naturally we fell easy prey to the shrewd sophs and juniors with their elevator passes and other helpful devices. On receiving our first report cards, we realized the difficulties that confronted us. We had a hard time fitting ourselves to this new life. However, despite our troubles, our class became an integral part of the Prep family. Our first big event was the St. Patrick's Day Parade, on Fifth Avenue in which we marched not as lrishmen, but as Cath- olics. lt was during this term that the Red Owl claimed Dick Clark, Pat Gilmartin, Frank Bauch, Dick Brostowin and George Regan. John Kreig, Harvey Stenger, and Dick Knudsen joined the ever growing band while Jerry Mayer answered the call of athletics. Dick Sunday became a stalwart of the keglers. After a short time came the gala boat ride, the final exams and then our first term had ended. We entered our second year with a new feeling. We were no longer the shy youngsters of last year, but arrogant sophs. lt was in these days that our school spirit really flourished. Ron Austin and Larry Maloney joined the Debate Club, while Mike Cannario utilized his artistic ability for the Poster Service Squad. Athletics thrived as Bill Houston, Tom Canavan, and Rudy Scri- menti ran under the banner of the newly organized Track Team. RONALD RALPH AUSTIN Intramurals l, 2, 3g Vice President Student Council 4g Chairman Pow Wow 4, Prom Committee 45 Speech 3, 43 Debate 3, 45 Physics 3, Forum 3, Dramatics 43 Cheer- leader 4. Ron, our pocket-size Laurence Olivier, trod the boards last year in Lucifer's Lodge. His loyalty has been depicted by his con- stant attendance at all Prep activities. Ron's election to the Vice Presidency only varies his numerous achievements. Class Orator Class Politician ' 22
