In this song we can see the true spirit of St. Marys. It is here we live, work, and study. It is here that we find Saint Mary ' s men. With this in mind, we, the staff of ' 61, pre- sent to you the 1961 GAEL and its theme: THE BELLS OF SAINT MARY ' S The Bells of Saint Mary ' s. Ah, Hear they are calling The Younfi; Love, the True Love, That comes from the sea. And so My beloved When red leaves are falling The love bells shall ring out, ring out For you and me. 7232 ' Dedication Brother U. Cassian, F.S.C. Dean ■jN «cp-? ?r C «S S As in past annual dedications we, the staff of the 1961 Gael, have chosen a man whose every waking moment is consecrated to the furtherance of the highest ideals and traditions for which Saint Marys is noted. The personal interest and sincerity which he mani- fests toward the welcome of each student exemplifies his every action. The great personal sacrifices made by him can never be fully repaid; not only because of their amplitude but more important because of the future influence they will have upon us. As a teacher and as a man his life has been char- acterized by fruitfulness and spiritual prosperity. To this man who has done so much to add to the distinction of Saint Mary ' s, we gratefully dedicate this annual and our prayers to you. Brother U. Cossion, F.S.C.

This year the Glee Club has outdone itself; it sang with Mills College in a formal concert. In so doing it has expressed its vital consent to Con- temporary Music. Now there are many contempor- aries, students of Saint Marys, who can feel free to join a club professing toleration of their addiction. As a result, the membership of said organization is increasing; soon it may hove a baritone. I GLEE CLUB — - Front row: M. Fletcher, P. Van Cleve IV, J Carmody, R. Cabrera, M. Seybold. Row two: R.

A sincere and charitable act on the part of a few devoted members it dares to present the best of contemporary student literature.

In the angular acceleration of Alpha, and the magnetic dipole movement of Mu, as well as the surface tension of Gamma, we have a most profound orientation. Clearly our language club has delved into the metaphysical realm and established a new world of ideas complementary to all forms of life. There is an obvious universal conclusion which the Philosophers of the past and present have come to accept concerning the value of language: It is vital to communication! The probing minds of the Language Club have truly exploited this conclusion in their non-committal but certainly impressive name. 77 s I r c O Front row: J. Cormody, P. Sweeney, D. Bodine, J.

Well, Saint Mary ' s, not to be out maneuvered, has a little network called KHSM. Origin of the station ' s coll letters is unknown, but it is rumored that they belong to a secret society of Physics majors. Unfortunately, all the managers put together cannot generate enough power to penetrate Mitty Hall, which lies in a vacuum of electromagnetic radiation. Undaunted, however, they have set up aid stations to care for the pierced ear drums of those who are forced to listen to commercial stations. The loquacious broadcasters have used their powerful lobby to entice Bay Area coed schools to perform at their Variety Show and Mixer. This annual extravaganza actually exists to let the staff come up from their cellar dwelling, and view the outside world. It also aptly demonstrates that some girls can do more than cook and sew. 80 DAY STAFF — Seated: Andy Szykier, Jack Doi Jim Smith, Bob Waich, Rich Brazzi, Mike Brown.

ABOVE ALL The scholastic honor society of the college, this group functions as the summum bonum _ clan on campus. Noted not only for their academic prowess, members of this elite group are also justifiably famous for their beverage and food capacity. When not busy figuring out their current grade point average they can be found giving free tutoring to needy class- mates. Well respected for their perspicacity, perseverance, and pulchritude, the loyalists of the APGU form a strong vanguard on the rampart of intellectual honesty. 83 84 L i i RAINY SEASON sraiKts UWTEN RETREAT EJUNiORPROJl New food StRVIcTomCfAlLY ex COOMCIL SPEEps TfrMPi s n, (u ' p ' cc r]?

Albert, Athletic Moderator, is the man whose concern it is to make the athletic machine at St. Marys function smoothly. Of special concern to him is basketball, a field where he does everything from making traveling accommodations to attending league meetings. Jim Weaver, Athletic Director and varsity basketball coach, has compiled a record of 97 victories against 57 losses during his stay at St. Mary ' s. For the past four years he has kept the Gaels among the top 15 in basketball, defense from coast to coast. Andy Sloan, Head of Minor Sports, and a ' 58 graduate of St. Marys, cam e to us this year from St. Mel ' s High in Chicago. He played varsity basketball here under Jim Weaver for two years. With his assistance, the Gaels are building track and wrestling squads. basketball ■ . «  ••B -ii«ii}-i2 W ' (Jaels, 1960-61 The Gaels started the 1960-61 season with a young team, but confidence filled the air since the sophomore cagers had compiled an outstanding 17-1 record the year before. Ex- pectations rose even higher when the nucleus of the team was centered on Tom Meschery. Coupled with this were the commendable and experienced varsity players, Gene Womack, Al Claiborne, and Hamilton Holmes. Throughout the first half of the season, play seemed to fluctuate. Hot and cold were the transitions the team underwent, with em- phasis on the latter. After seemingly out of the W.C.A.C. race with an early 2-2 mark, the word iell became a reality. Rapidly, but yet very definitely, precision, coordination, and co- operation showed themselves in the defensive and offensive movements of the revived Gael five. Employing the fast break and a ■ ' A court press for the initial time, the Meschery-led cagers literally galloped over league foes, plac- ing themselves in serious championship con- tention with Loyola. But against archrival Santa Clara, the Weavermen failed to play their own game in the closing minutes and consequently lost the opportunity of a possible W.C.A.C. play- off, and a regional berth. The disappointment was sharpened when Meschery was overlooked on the All-America squads, an honor he sc justly deserved. Meschery, shown at left in a drive against Cal ' s McClintock, concluded a brilliant three year varsity stint as the greatest player in St. Mary ' s annals. Tom ' s bull-like rebounding, his masterful passing, his repertoire of offensive moves, and his persistent defense all combined to reflect the standard of basketball that this superb and gracious athlete has established for others to emulate.

Z c Zeam Stanford Opening casaba action for the 1960-1961 season, the Galloping Gaels invaded Stanford Pavilion on Dec. 1 . First game jitters marked the first half action as both teams, playing good defense, found it hard to put the ball in the hoop. The Gaels left the floor dow n by a 18-16 count. With the lead changing hands several times in the second half, the Gaels finally put it away on a pair of free throw s by Meschery, a tip by Holmes, and two charity tosses by Gray with 4.50 left to play. Executing a stall pattern, the Weavermen put away number one by a 48-41 count. Season California Heralded as the battle of the best forwards r the area — AAeschery, and the Golden Bears Bill McClintock, the Galloping Gaels rode the crest of a three game win streak into Harmon Gym. Dave Stafford and Stan Morrison ended the short lived streak as they hit for 32 of the victors ' counters. Effectively employing a double screen and a tight, drilled defense, the Bears stifled one Gael rally after another before 7200 fans. Meschery won the battle of the big AA s but it wasn ' t enough, as the Bears emerged on top side of a 51-43 count. Koad Zrip - December is traveling time for the Galloping Gaels, and again this year they invaded the midv est for a pair of games. Evansville College, a perennial small school povi er, was the first to fall, as the Red and Blue, behind AAeschery ' s 31 pts., knocked off the Purple Aces 79-69. Gophers are stubborn animals, but a foul, and a conversion of a one and one situation by Shadow Newsome put away Minnesota 54-52. Five on Seven is the usual story in Salt Lake, and the Gaels came out on the short end of a 70-64 decision in the road finale against Utah. WX.iA ' C. Zourney Feature of the W.C.A.C. tourney was the renewal of on ancient athletic rivalry. Gray and Meschery put away the Rams of Fordham University in the best game of the tourney 75-74. Marred by frequent interruptions by the whistle-tooters, the AAoragamen slipped by a mechanical San Jose squad by a 41-40 count for a place in the finals. USF vs. SMC was the program for the final night, and the Hilltoppers emerged victors in overtime 51-48 by a pair of free tosses by Ed Thomas and ineligible Henry Johnson. Meschery was named all-tourney for the second straight year. U.SJ. Jumping jacks and an errant timekeeper spelled the story as the USF Dons annexed the first of the league tilts by a 53-51 score. Action bounced back and forth as much as the basketball and the Hilltoppers clinched it on a short jump shot by Lloyd AAoffatt, who picked up the orb after it had been slapped around in the air by all the participants on the court. Revitalized by a series of must wins, the Galloping Gaels roared into the Oakland Audi- torium and chased the Dons out of the title race by a 64-46 count. The Jaw banged in 20 markers and pulled in 19 rebounds to lead the assault. 126 Coyola Opening the season with a hot shooting barrage, the Gaels couldn ' t overcome the whis- tles as they were beaten from the charity stripe 86-74 by the pre-season favorites: Loyola. Ed Bento, Lion center tanked 20 to lead in their scoring, while the Jaw dumped in 29 for the AAoragamen. High flying leaders of the conference, the Lions invaded the Moraga deathtrap only to have their minds taken by local rooters, and their bodies beaten by a unique display of basketball wizardry, 92-61. 127 Saitta Clara With the feral children of the Santa Clara Valley lending vociferou s support, their hard- wood warriors split the series with the Red and Blue this season. Oakland Auditorium found the Galloping Gaels garnering a 56-52 victory behind the shooting of Shadow Newsome in a battle of zone defenses. An ineffective stall, and egg dodging spelled the doom for the title hopes of the Weavermen, as they succumbed 60-53 in Raisinland. Ron McGee paced the Broncos with a 19 point effort. San Jose With the crown hopes diminished, the Gaels, probably playing their last league games in the Moraga sweatbox, were shocked into third place by a blind 45 foot heave by Bill Yonge, Spartan soph, with one second to play. The San Jose visitors enjoyed their best shooting night of the year in handing the Gaels their only home court loss, 74-72. Down in Spartanville, the Gaels ran the pseudo-Greeks out of their gym by a 65-46 count, but suffered the loss of the services of Vurdell Newsome for the remainder of the season. Pepperdine Wide open offense featured the Pepperdine series this season. The Gaels, running their basketball version of the multiple offense, usu- ally an angle used by football teams, ran up two wins over the young Waves. Down south it was 88-81, as the Moraga- men put away the Peps for their first league win despite Noel Smith ' s 36 points, which set a collegiate scoring record in the Los Angeles Sports Arena. Fast breaking and fine shooting put away number two for the Red and Blue, as they knocked over the traveling Waves 74-58 in the local gym. Harry Dinnel and Smith tried to moke a game of it, but Sheridan and the Shadow put a V4 press and stopped the Peps cold. U,0,P, In the Moraga tilt of the series the Gaels had little trouble putting down the Tigers, as Lou Leonard, a reserve guard, came in to pepper the nets in an attempt to knock off the hard running locals. The Red and Blue iced it 72-64 behind Meschery ' s scoring spurt. Closing out his college career with an out- standing performance, the Jaw pumped in 23 points and grabbed 18 rebounds to humble the Tigers in their own lair 64-49. Ken Stanley, the Stockton Steamer, only managed 14 markers to fall behind Meschery in the W.C.A.C. scoring race.

They defeated a sound California five at Berkeley, and also whipped the U.O.P. squad in league action. Steve Miller, Dennis Schreiner, and Bill Connolly were the mainstays of the Gael yearlings.

Due to graduation, the Phoe- nix were without the services of Harry Innocenti, who hit .402, and had to concentrate more on speed and hustle. The team offered an array of freshman talent, which made up the bulk of the 26 player roster.

Facing financial difficulties and without the services of a coach, the racketmen were, for the most part, on their own. But with seven matches at home and twelve away, the team continued the upswing of the year round sport at Morogo. Strong players from the freshman and sophomore divisions provide a good future for the tennis men despite the graduating trio of four year men: Bill Gerth, Dick Woods, and Vic LoGrasso.

Catering to the needs of the active members of the student body, the sports for laymen program was en- gineered this year by T. T. Hogan (pictured at right). Hard-hitting games and fast action ear- marked both the upper divison and freshman leagues in the football wars. The highlight of the season featured junior Trifone Pagone scoring on what was probably the most intricate play in football annals. The championship game saw the Saki Sippers overcome Lazzaretto ' s crew despite the fancy running of freshman Dan Leary. kk ' football 1 ■ 1 BLUE LEAGUE FINAL STANDINGS Team W L Ogata 7 Uniac 6 1 Murphy 5 2 Silvestri 3 4 Collaghan 3 4 Queen 2 5 Seybold 2 5 Bitter 7 158 RED LEAGUE FINAL STANDINGS Team W L Lazzaretto 7 Casey 5 2 Mathews 5 2 Frugletti 4 3 Hill 4 3 Giovannoni 2 5 Ollivier 1 6 Schenk 7 159 Thirteen hopefuls contested in the two mile grind, with iron man Dennis Staple (pictured at right) bringing home the laurel wreath.
