Bob Phillips and Bill Barron were on the so-called left wing While Tee Creighton, Paul Lally and Mary Shaughnessy were the ones who did the traveling. ' Both teams staged a performance over station WORC ' And received gold medals at a banquet in honor of our victory, The captain of the baseball team was none other than Barney Pyne And assisting him at his labors were the following players fine: Mantoni, Phillips, Krol, Norton, Volpicelli and Dick U-Iopedalel Knight, ' Also Ernie Laronga and Richie CFraminghamD Knight. Will we win another trophy? Only time alone can say And the way that our boys play that all-important game on Memorial Da . This production Syncopation Please became a huge success For in it, you've guessed it yes Were Bob Phillips as the middleman, Ends: Creighton, Fitzgerald and Sullivan. Others who had solos were Mary Lynch and Frankie Powers, ' Mary Shaughnessy, Bill Barron, Joe Domsky-we claim them all as ours. In a final burst of glory we made our record better In an attractive presentation of Green Cheese an operotta The music was catehy,thc acting good,and so its no surprise ' That it made our always gilt-edgedstack take still another rise. Class Day brings to a climax the year's activity, Graduation is approaching with solemn finality, And thinking back upon the time when it looked so far away When time stood still and it seemed wo'd never roach our graduation day We wonder why we didn't realize how soon 'twould all be done And'we'd stand looking as it were at both a setting and a rising sun. ' New the davs roll swiftly by us, and hours like seconds fly ' Wefll say hAu revoir, St. Hary'sU, we can never say ngoodbyen. A WISH I wish I were a little bird Flying in the sky, A member of that little flock So close to God on high. -Mary G. Shaughnessy I'd be without care or worry I'd never have to cry, Or even run or have to hurry Just watch each day go by. I'd soar above this troubled world And pity those below, And ask, dear God, if He would please A reign of peace bestow. I wish I were a little bird No more Ild have to roam, Just lift my little wings and fly To God's high heaven1y'home, -Williamn Norton

Again varsity debating found us turning out quite strong With Domsky, Lally, Barron, and Shaun helping the'cause along Until we met St. Peter's fa tale best left untold, Suffice to say the trophy was not ours to have and hold.D Those who went to the Thomas Aquinas Banquet for having scholastic success and not failure' - ' Were Margaret Arsenault, Rosemary Conway, Olivine Leheney, Margue- rite Consoletti, Catherine Cullinan, and John Halia.' ' On the baseball squad we boasted Pyne, Krol, Mantoni, Lally, Vol- picelli, Phillips, Will Norton and Knight, ' While Crowley and Fitzgerald as managers rose to a great height. CPutting up the score Who could ask for more?J A production nHelodeemaniaU was the offering that spring, Here we showed a faculty to cut up and to sing.

Paul Lally-President, Vice President-Francis Young, Minnie Mantoni-Treasurer, June Rouleau-Secretary were the officers whose praises we sung. Besides the Orchestra and Glee Club we originated and maintained Junior'Science and French Clubs where much useful knowledge was gained. ' We managed a Junior Reception, we considered quite a feat ' - Perhaps the Seniors weren't amused but we enjoyed our treat. We also made another very startling innovation By getting our rings as Juniors instead of waiting till graduation Then Junior year was over and we waited with a smile ' To return as lofty Seniors and journey that last mile. And did we walk it, or did we walk it? They'll tell in song and story How the class of '4O's Senior year was a year of crowning glory. Mantoni captained football and to help'him had these mates: Krol, Volpicelli, Knight,'Frost, Fitch, and Seaver each of whom really rates ' Also Creighton, Bagley, Clouart, Fullum, Gallerani, Murphy A Kni ht.

Egiggigggtf I I I Kill 'iaKQEQTh?k 25 ' -si! 1r'1f-'P ' 1- 324 9'af ', get ,areas pg fn PH FQY A ' On an eventful day, in the year 1960, I awoke from my sleep with a very painful toothache. I knew that this uncom- fortable feeling would necessitate a visit to the office of Dr. William Barron, whom we all knew was a great orator, but had chosen dentistry as his profession. A strange feeling passed through my veins as June Rouleau, Bill's assistant applied the anesthetic. Alas, but too late, I finally realized that I was under the influence of a mysterious new gas invented by those three well known chemists, Thomas Creighton, Henry Pyne, and Raymond Fredette. Besides easing the pain, this newly invented anesthetic seems to cloud the pat1ent's mind. Visions of my classmates suddenly seemed to pass before me. Unless my eyes de- ceived me, I caught a glimpse of Kenneth Forbes, a bustling young reporter for the New York Times. Kenny also informed me that he was working for the paper's well known editor, Francis Young. The scenes are steadily changing and it is not long be- fore I find myself walking along Broadway.From some of the pass- ers-by I learned that my old pal Joe Gallerani was proprietor of the largest restaurant on Broadway,and he had Helen Quirk as cashier. I must admit though, that Joe served me one of the finest meals I had ever eaten. Joe also supplied me with the daily paper. It was almost unbelievable to read that Howard Fitch and John Malia, two great politicians were running for the office of mayor in this large city. Mary Lynch is the edi- tor of a fashion page with Grace Condry and Eileen Nealon as assistants. Several business-like girls passed by me on the street and from their talk, I learned that they were all engaged in secretarial work. Among these were Olivine Leheney, Marie Mc- Gowan, Marguerite Consoletti and Katherine Cullinan. Strains of swing music soon pierced my ears. Much to my amazement, I learn- ed that Gerry Heroux's swing band was booked for a week's en- gagement at the Hotel Ritz, only a few blocks from where I was standing. The music was so inviting that I had to drift in and see how Gerry was making out. Frank Powers and Rosemary Conway were the featured vocalists, and the two HJoesu, Krol and Dom- sky were the leading sax players. Just as I was leaving the ho- tel, I met Richard Moynihan, a prominent lawyer, and Paul Lally who holds down a splendid accountant's position. Out of a clear sky I heard someone say, nTaxi, bud?U and looking around who should it be but Bill Marshall. While driving along to the Floyd Bennett airport, Bill and I engaged in a lengthy conversation.Soon I was to learn that Ruby Barrows, Amelia Kaczowka, Lauretta Garand, and Virginia Morse were all
