MARY'S ACADEMY LITTLE FALLS, NEW YORK The Right Reverend Monsignor William D. Noonan Dedication The Class of 1959 wishes to dedicate this yearbook in loving memory to a man who dedicated his life to the service of God. He served as pastor of Saint Mary's Church and as principal of Saint Mary's Academy for more years than we individually have lived. 'During this time his prayers and guidance have helped us grow both spiritually and intellectually, giving us the impetus to become wise adults and future citizens of heaven. With pride and thanksgiving, we the seniors, dedicate this book as a memorial to the late Right Reverend Mon' signor William D. Noonan. H, ..l,'- W'J aL J.: . f u.avu:..wmv:mew:.- vi' Rev. Joseph Halloran Father Halloran In 1954 Saint Mary's Academy welcomed a new priest into our halls. He was Father Joseph Halloran, a newly ordained Priest. As Seniors we can look hack to the day he arrived in school. We were in the Eighth Grade then, and Father came to give us religious instruction. We will never forget the very pleasant and interesting sessions we had with Father. Besides heing our instructor, he was in charge of the Altar Boys. This hrought him to school frequently so we grew to he very good friends. Another one of Father's duties was that of Director of Athletics. Father was one of the hest rooters St. Maryis ever had. He attended all of our haskcthall games and gave the team the extra, hut necessary, moral support which led them to victory. Because of his interest in sports and his familiar enthusiasm at the games, Father gained the respect of the entire school, and particularly that of the Senior Class. We will always rememiher his friendly manner and we will never forget the surprise program arranged for him in the school hall after we learned of his transfer. Father Halloran will always remain in our thoughts and in our prayers. Rev. Thomas K. Scott Rev. Richard J. Boyle Welcome Message The Class of 1959 wishes to express their heartfelt welcome to our new pastor, Rev. Thomas K. Scott, and his assistant, Rev. Richard Boyle. Father Scott is a native of Ilion and a graduate of Ilion High School, Class of 1920. He received his B.A. degree from Niagara University in 1925. He attended Our Lady of Angels' Seminary and was ordained at the Cathedral in Alhany hy Bishop Gihhons on May 25th, 1929. He served assignments at Auhurn and Albany, and in 1942 was granted a commission as Lieutenant in the U. S. Navy. His naval duties took him to the Pacific area for 20 months, where he participated in the inf vasions of the Marshall Islands, Kwajalein, New Guinea, Hollandia, Guam, Saipan, and Tinian. Upon his discharge he assumed positions in Cohoes, Germantown, and Troy. He remained there until he received his call to serve as pastor of our parish. Since his arrival he has given the utmost support to our yearlwook and the senior projects as a whole. We are grateful lor what he has done, and are honored to have him as pastor. Father Boyle attended St. Bernard's Seminary in Rochester and was ordained in May, 1953. He has served as an instructor at Cardinal McClosky High School in Alhany, and in Sidney, N. Y. He was then transferred to Saint Mary's, and since his arrival he has worked with the youth of the parish lwoth as priest in charge of the altar hoys, and as the Director of Athletics. Perhaps it is he who has given our hasehall team the spirit to produce a winning team. Father Boyle is a valuable asset to our parish and we are glad to have him with us. 1N??'5W Rev. Thomas K.

Laughter, gaiety, and dancing pref vailed during the evening, and I learned of the occupations of each member of the Class of '59. First we had a delicious dinner, served by WILLIAM NORM COFFIN, chef of Becker's Delicatessen, and enjoyed enchanting music, offered by TOM SING ALONG WITH ME FINNEGAN and 'his band The Irish Setters. Captain and Mrs. Zeaman were among the many dancing. We remember her as NEAL FIESINGER. Now she is teaching Italian and besides that she is very busy being a wife to a naval officer. Across the room I noticed BILL NASH. Of course he was telling jokes to be used in his Broadway hit play, Hi There, Guys! He is co-starring with Bob Cummings, star of stage, screen and television. Coaches JIM PALMER and MIKE SKIN' NER were talking over the games played at S. M. A. I was surprised to hear that they have revised the game of basketball. Now a player is only allowed to use one hand and one foot. If anyone needed firstfaid, JANICE WATERMAN and GAYLENE NUBORAf ZEK were present to offer their services. They are both famous doctors in New York City. ANTHONY KUNEY presented everyone with a box of Cheer. He is now president of the Proctor and Gamble Company and is wealthier than the Rockefellers ever thought of being. JANET MLINAR stopped singing long enough to tell us of her career. Besides being a fine wife and mother, she is secretary to the D.A.R. in Chicago. PHYLLIS LIDDON and JO ANN CLARK are now in the entertainment field. They are writers and directors of that hilarf ious T.V. show Huckle Burry Hound. Also present were CORKY DESMOND and MARY JO BURNS. CORKY is mar' ried to a famous physician and they live in Washington, D.C. MARY JO is renowned as a designer of Mary Jo Fashions. DENIS SIVACK and his wife, the former SALLY FALK, have achieved unusual ca' reers. They are a champion skating team known as DEN and SAL. The party was still going strong when I had a chance to talk to school teacher, PAT BRODOWSKI. She is an instructor of English at Siena College. Doing the Mombo were my friends LYNN HEBERT and MARY HOLLAND. Lynn is a candidate for Mayor in Little Falls and Mary is the writer of a series of animal stories called, The Adventures of Snipperf' Two more celebrities that were present were JOAN HAPONSKI and CAROLYN WEIJCH. Joan, now known as Joan Davies, has just finished a film called, Charming Niagara and Carolyn is a Newspaper Col' umnist and writes the Dear Abbey column. At the opposite side of the room I noticed C Y N T H I A KANE and CATHERINE WELCH. At the present time, Cindy is a professional Golf player and spends much of her time at Moynihan's Golf Course in in Glens Falls. Cathy, of course, is employed by Susman E? Sons Electrical Company back in Little Falls. After dancing with DICK HART, I learned that he is retired from the Air Force and spends most of his extra time working at Dudik's Service Station. I also saw JUDY DALY who is now married and living in San Fran- cisco. She owns a clothing store called Terry's on Pierce Street. The familiar tune of our Alma Mater was directed' by Monica O'Hara, now known as Rodge Krupa , who is a voice instructor at Birdland. I received an autographed book from that famous author, CHARLES FITZ' GERALD. His latest work I Was a Teen' Age Paper Boy, is a best-seller. ANN CTHARA has made a small fortune conducting Stanley Brush Parties. Ann has many Stanley products of her own. Talking with Ann was JACK MCCARTHY. He is now a professional basketball player and is a wellfknown star of the Globetrotters. Believe it or not, JACK MANORE is a very outstanding ballet dancer. Jack came all -the way from Paris to attend the class reunion. At Paris is located Manore's Ballet Academy. And last but hardly least, I had the honor to have an interesting conversation with MIKE WORDEN. Mike has entered the field of psychiatry since he no longer owns Donahue's Wholesale Company. Well, dear diary, the Class of '59 has achieved great success and I close this entry with the hope and prayer that God will direct all of them in their chosen fields in this world and grant them everlasting joy in heaven.

Since then almost 12 years have passed, mayhe all to quickly. Under the competent guidance of the Sisters of Saint joseph we received nine years of elementary education on which our successes this year and next are hased. Those years will leave an indelihle mark upon us. They developed us into Christian hoys and girls: gave us the pattern to follow for the future. ln Septemher 1956 we entered the halls of St. lvlaryls as Freshmen, After summer vacation we had to go through a Hreadjustment period hut the patience of the faculty headed hy Vicefljrineipal, Sister Merry, and our homeroom teacher, Sister Maria Nevis saw us through. The year came to an end with a pleasant class outing at Caroga Lake. The following year we lost dear friends and gained some new ones when there were changes made in the faculty. Our Sophomore homeroom teacher was Sister Charles Garnier, who still holds that position. Our junior year, under the guidance of Sister Nlustin, is now coming to a close and all of the upper classmen are looking forward to Class Day which will he held this year at the Manor. The Senior and final year, will present us with the choice of our vocation, upon which our future depends. Under the skillful guidance of Sister Fidelis, l'm sure our choices will turn out for the hest. ' 9 IL is , x ogg css I' ssz, S ' .i SOPHOMORE CLASS elniann. ' IITQ v ' '. nslcy, P.

Sophomore Class Histor The year 1948 ushered in for the teachers of Saint Mary's Academy, the lweginning ul an ordeal from which they will not recover for many a moon. The Class of' 'ol had nothing to worr alwout in the earl da fs as the regular school . . - . Y . . V 5 ' s . , day was a pleasant affair with drawing and singing to lwreak the monotony of reading, writing, and arithmetic. But time marched on, and each year found us one rung higher on the ladder of education. Wliile receiving our preliminary education, we lost a few here and gained a few there. The original 1948 Kindergarten Class entered high school in 1957 with just a few changes. Upon entering our Frosh year, we were taken down a few pegs. The first year our work was not really easy, hut when you compare it with our second year studies, it was a cinch. Now that we are near the end of the Sophomore year, we are faced with the prolwlem of' passing our difficult second year sulviects. Un Sophomore election day, the following officers were named: President . . . Bernard Malone Vicefl'residcnt . Mary Carney Secretary . Kathleen Pellerito Treasurer .... Donna Bronson After ten grand years, the Sophomore Class is deeply grateful to the Sisters of Saint joseph, our priests, and our parents who have sent us to Saint Marys Academy. first Row, left to right fl.

Today, this group is the Freshman Class of 1959. Through these ten years from 1949 to 1959, this group has grown considcrahly in size and knowledge. Because of the efforts and toils of our parents and the Sisters of Saint Joseph, we have gained the many henelits of a Christian Education. This Septemher we estahlished a Sodality of which Ellen Sivack is chairman, under the direction of Sister john Berchmans. Also, we had committees, social gatherings, fundfraising campaigns, and class meetings. We took part in the Manlius Mzith Tournament, the Coronation of the Blessed Mother, the Day of Rccollection, and we participated as slaves at the Roman Banquet. The girls' Glee Cluh sang at an assemhly which expressed farewell to Father Halloran and the welcoming of Fathers Scott and Boyle. They also sang on Sunday at the 9:00 Mass. We rememhered our former teachers hy sending them Christmas Greetings. The oilicers as elected hy the class are as follows: President ..... William Hart Viceflyresident Kathleen Vail Secretary .

We have worked diligently on our studies either to ohtain a major or to raise our marks. These suhjects are valuahle to us for all of our future undertakings. But there is one suhiect which is more important to us than any other. This suhject is Religion. In our Religion 4 classes we studied the three states in lite and learned the various ways of finding the place in life that God has picked out for each of us. Each one of us was placed on this earth for a specific reason and it is our duty to God to find this reason and carry out His Divine Will. Under the guidance of the Sisters of Saint joseph and the Priests we have heen hrought closer to God and have developed a desire to follow His laws. While doing this we have hecome more educated in the Christian way of life and have had instilled in our minds and hearts the principles which will make us good Americans. We are grateful to our parents for allowing us to receive a Catholic education, and we deeply appreciate the work of the Sisters and Priests.

As Seniors we explored new and challenging suhjects, hut there was one suhject, which, while not heing new to us, proved just as exciting, That was English 4. One reason for our interest was hecause of a special course which was given to us hy Sister john Berchmans. The purpose of this course was to allow the Seniors to hecome aware of their reading ahilities through a series of exercises. lt proved very successful and greatly helped each Senior improve his reading. Another reason for our interest in English 4 was the opportunity we had to hecome acquainted with the great English and American writers. Through the reading of plays, essays, and short stories and with the help of Sister M. Aloysia we procured for ourselves an everlasting picture of far away places and peoples. ln january the entire class was allowed to try the New York State Regents Examination in English 4. The results of this examination helped each student hecome aware of his standing in English and helped him prepare for the june Regents. This year, more than any other, we have realized that English is a suihject that we shall use always and the hetter educated we are in this suhject, the more we can further ourselves in future years. fn .ff I ,lf . f f ff 1 f f'f 1 f 12, f ,V f' ' If .2 ,f - , ,- A., ' 1 I I X .

Under the direction of Professor Stanley Koval, Sophomore, junior, and Senior boys and girls joined the Clee Club and produced exceptional musical harmony. ln December they added the final touch to a Christmas Pageant produced by the Sophomore Class. A number of standard carols were sung, which, by the response of the audience, proved to the members of the Glee Club that their's was something special. One of the highlights of the pageant was provided by Elaine Creedon, soprano soloist for the Clee Club. The rich quality of her beautiful voice was displayed when she sang O Holy Night . The pageant marked one of the greatest performances of the Clee Club. ln january, with increased scholastic schedules, the membership decreased consider' ably. With the permission of Sister john Berchmans and under the guidance of Sister M. Aloysia, Sarah Falk took on the difficult task of reorganizing the Glee Club. Because of her interest in music and her desire to continue the Clee Club, Sarah enlisted the cooperation of the high school girls. She not only managed to get enough interested girls to iill the vacant seats, but she successfully raised the membership to form a wonder' ful group of interested students. N E +.

The girls all wore long white dresses and the hoys wore white suits. The ceremonies were joyous and we even received a diploma. Now as we look hack to that important day, we are iilled with a feeling of anticipation for the graduation day that is not far away. june 1959, 12 years later, we are preparing for one of the greatest moments of our life, graduation. In these 12 years we have made everlasting friendships with our class' mates. We have acquired enough knowledge to enahle us to receive a high school diploma. lvlost important is the fact that we have heen educated to he Catholic men and women and good Americans. 5 Q f QQ 5 ?

Frances Sterusky, Cheerleading We, the Varsity Cheerleaders ol' S.M,A., have found cheerleading very valuahle in the past two years. Among the values that we have received are: knowledge ol' good sportsmanship and assurance of selffcontidence. There have heen many times of joy and sorrow which confronted us. ln times of joy when our team had won we lielt reassured. ln times ol' sorrow when our team lost in points, hut not in experience, we actually learned to overcome disappointments, as well as hardships. Our most memorahle experience during the two years was our trip to the Catholic Tournament at lllens Falls. The team, as well as the leaders, have profited a great deal from this experience. Vsfe had lun, hut also had to rcmemlwer that we were representing a Catholic school. Cheerleading in our estimation is a very great honor and privilege. We thoroughly enjoyed representing our school as cheerleaders for the past two years. we leave the portals of S.M.A, with sadness, we leave with fondest memories, with no regrets for having heen chosen as cheerleaders ol' Saint lVlary's Academy have As hut VARSITY CHEERLEADERS f 111111 11111 111 11111111111 xI.1111111' XX'.111'1111.111 liv111l11.1 K.1111' QXIIII U H.11.1 1'111111'l1.1 l71w111111111 beers ll111l11l1 R.11'l11'1l1' RUN VCU T 141' 11111 .1ll11xx'1'1l 111 illss Blll 111'x'1'1'1l11'l1'sf y1111 Illllxl 1111111 Y1111'll 111'x'1'1 I11-111-111'1'1l1.111 lli. l51'1l1l1l1' 1l11w11 1l11' Q11l1' l1111'4 Bllfll 1111 1l11' 11111111 S.llI1l M.11'yE fX1'.11l1'1111' S1 X XR lf S1 111111-i SC Tk Blllf T 1' .1 111 1'1'.1 11'.1111' T 1' .1 111 11.1 11'.1111 T 1' .1 Ill 11.1 11'.1111 51 M.11'y'- T1'.1111?

Twenty years ago last fall, during the first few months of his pastorate at St. Mary's parish, Rt. Rev. William D. Noonan initiated the formation of a basketball team at our parochial school and thus began the colorful history of St. Mary's participation in the game. Let's look back a few years and see what kind of teams St. Mary's has produced. In the 195061 season, under the guidance of Coach Gene Kelly, St. Mary's copped the C Division Title in the MVIL when the Gaels concluded the season with a 156 record. The following season. the Gaels compiled a 12f6 regular season record and with Fort Plain won the cofchampionship of the MVIL. In the 195263 season, the Gaels and Fort Plain once again both finished as C Division leaders with 8f2 records. SMA won the championship by downing Fort Plain 74f48 in a playfoff game at Ilion. ' The Gaels fortunes turned downward in the 195364 season when SMA and St. Johnsville ended up in last place with 2-8 records. The following year didn't prove us to have improved much w-hen we finished fourth with a 4f6 record. In the 195566 season, the Gaels under Coach Hubie Brown produced a well balanced team. Although its players lacked experience, they finished the season with a 9f9 record and earned a bid to the Catholic Tournament at Glens Falls. They were defeated in the first game. Again the following season our team produced a 9f9 record. This time under the guidance of Coach Santo Bonanno. The 195768 season proved- the ability of the Gaels , under the capable leadership of Coach William Gleason, was something not to be taken lightly by our opponents. This quintet led by Bill iMcEvoy, the school's allftime high scorer, brought in a praise' worthy 166 record. This also brought an invitation to the Catholic Tournament where they captured second place and were awarded the best defensive team trophy. In the 195869 season, the Gaels again headed by Coach Gleason, gave their fans a repeat performance. Although the lack of height tended to hinder the quintet, they made up for that handicap with speed and hustle. They won the MVIL with a 9f1 record and had an overfall record of 176. Seventeen wins in one season were the most ever compiled by a St. Mary's team. The Gaels once more went to the Catholic Tournament where they finished in second place. CITY CHAIVIPIONSHIP . . The LFHS f SMA series started January 5, 1949, and was continued on a twofgamefafyear basis for the first four seasons. Since the 195263 season, it has been limited to a single game a year. LFHS is ahead in the series 9f6. JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM wlnig, lcf! li- right -Iuhn Uiiris, U. Kant: Slimiling fluacli David Dinnccn, Hunks, VU, Palincr, Vfilcs. j U'llara, R. Umgaim, li.

Baseball Under the tutelage of Coach William Gleason, Saint Mary's Academy set out this season with eight seasoned veterans, most of whom have played for four years. A high school baseball season is very short, so therefor a team which makes the best of other teams' mistakes usually comes out on top. St. Mary's 1959 baseball team has done just this. By making the most of its opponents errors it has gone through half of the season with one of the best wonflost records in St. Mary's baseball history. After bowing to Little Falls High School in the opening game, St. Mary's then went on a winning spree by defeating six Mohawk Valley teams in succession. Among the teams beaten were Cardinal McClosky of Albany, St. Mary's of Amsterdam, Ilion, Herkimer, and Mohawk. With tremendous pitching by Chuck McEvoy and Walt Palmer, plus clutch hitting and nelding, the Gaels were highly successful. jack McCarthy, Tom Finnegan, Bill Collin, Dick Hart, Mike Skinner, and jack Manore led this attack for four years and will be sorely missed as regulars next year.
