These men and women, who have risen above and beyond the call of duty, have re- nounced all they cherish and hold dear in order to devote their lives and life's work to the spreading of Christ's gospel throughout the world. To these-God's career men and women- we, the class of 1951, lovingly dedicate this volume of the Per Annos . Reverend James Buttino, M.

Cardinal Newman During our treasured years at St. Mary's, we have endeavored to find our place in God's counsels, in God's world, consequently, we have attempted to make each day count in our search for our true vocation. Now as you peruse the ensuing pages of our annual, perhaps you will dis- cover the pattern we followed thus far in our search for our purpose, our mission, and our voca- tion in life.

IITI Food for the Soul Two by two, the seniors walked down the marble aisle and took their places in the con- vent chapel. As the warmth of April spring- time filled the chapel, so did the warmth of Christ's love fill their hearts. This was the day of days. This was the eagerly anticipated morning for the annual Mass in the convent chapel. This was the special day reserved for the senior class alone. The peaceful silence was broken by foot- steps approaching the altar. Father Horan then entered the sanctuary and began cele- brating the Mass. As the organ sounded its hymn of praise, the happy, yet sad, seniors filled the chapel with their hymns: O Fairest Of All Visions , Mother, O Forget Me Not , and O Lord, I Am Not Worthy , praising Our Lord and His Blessed Mother. fl 8 With the tinkling of the Communion bells, each senior reverently walked to the al- tar rail and received the Most Precious Body of Christ. After a worthy reception of Holy Communion, the students devoted a few mo- ments in thanksgiving to the Divine Visitor. During these private moments, each one humbly asked Our Lord for guidance and fer- vently promised a lifetime of service to Him in the future. As Father Horan completed the Mass, the seniors, in unison, sang Holy God, We Praise Thy Name. Sadly the seniors followed Father Horan up the marble aisle, outside the chapel doors. It was then they realized that the clos- ing door had stored away one more memory for them. i ' 'QV' , - - '- ' -A' -'A .. ' ' lf' . r' ian si--. 'zA 2'Vi'-ii? V ' , A, f- Af ..

As we underclassmen approach the culmination of our life at St. Mary's, we see before us three roads of life: the road of marriage, the road of single blessedness and the road of the religious.

Garvey The coming of fall ushered in for us a new year, full of new and exciting experi- ences. As the iuniors of fifty-one we were at last upper classmen and eager to take full advantage of our coveted title. Under the guidance of Sr. Paulette we were oriented to a life of bigger responsibilities and thicker books. Autumn football days flew by all too quickly for the junior big letter men and their loyal supporters. Yuletide parties and winter sleigh rides had hardly ended when our rosy cheeks paled at the horrifying thought of mid-term. Those of us who braved chemistry, intermediate and Latin lll were wishing we had not. However, we managed to survive, but resolved to buckle down dur- ing the second term. This resolution, of course, did not interfere with our basketball season or Cafe Tres Chic. lt was during our iunior year that we learned more forcefully than ever the value of cooperation, as we lent a helping hand to the seniors on the prom and the Per Annos com- mittees. The iuniors had a chance to show their zeal in carrying on Christ's work by sponsor- ing a clothing drive for the missions of the South. Before we knew it, the long anticipated Junior-Senior prom had come and gone and finals were on their way. With a sigh of re- lief we surmounted this last crisis. As we looked back upon our iunior year there was a sigh of sorrow too, for we realized that the sands of our hour glass had run out all too quickly. Yet it was with proud and eager hearts that we stood upon the threshold of the senior classroom and our final year at St. Mary's. Well Established Sophomores First row ll. to Ll: B. Walsh. G. Spano.

Cushion As golden autumn began to peep around the corner, school bells rang out, calling us back to St. Mary's and our sophomore year. Although variety is the spice of life, we re- alized that this year we had to set a goal for ourselves. By planning our courses to corre- spond with our future vocations, we knew that we would be working toward that goal. After several weeks of mixed-up sched- ules, we finally settled down to our books. During the fall, however, football games, par- ties and mixers interspersed our routine stud- ies. Likewise, the winter months were sprinkled with basketball games, which we enthusiasti- cally supported. l2ll The months sped by as we worked and played, and then, it was May. Since the poet has said: ln the spring, a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love, so we began dreaming of the Prom. Although we were vet- erans at the Prom, it had lost none of its thrills or excitement for us. We danced happily through the evening and at its close, we tucked away in our diaries the memory of an- other enchanting May evening at St. Mary's. We had almost completed one year of our journey to our goal, for June had arrived, and with it we had come toward the junior class, where next year we will continue on to the fulfillment of our dreams.

L 'Nm ENGLISH The basic step to a well rounded education is the full understanding and appreciation of English, our own language. Through the years at St. Mary's we have found this step not an unpleasant task, but an inspiring challenge. The habit of intelligent reading, to be carried over to our future life, was deeply instilled in us. We have followed our heritage of American literature through its infancy, its childhood, and its maturity. English has taught us the ele- gance of the past through Shake- speare, Keats and Shelley and the realism of the present through Sandburg, Sinclair, and Eliot. Most important of all we have learned to express ourselves with clarity and assurance so that we shall be able to uphold our Chris- tian principles in a modern world. Our study of English has taught us the art of intelligent speaking and logical debating. It has made us conscious of the beauty and force of words. In short, we have received the training and knowledge which will be most valuable in molding our future careers. l.gSeniors in a listening mood. 2.--Sophomores enjoy a Book Buzz. 3.-We. the people speak! i25l MATHEMATICS With the arrival of the atomic age, together with its complicated study of atoms and electrons, math- ematics has received an added im- petus. Therefore, a student will find that success in a chosen career is more easily attainable if he has built his education upon a firm foun- dation of the fundamentals of mathematics. Accordingly, St. Mary's High School has kept abreast with world progress through the years by continuously offering a basic course in mathe- matics. Under the competent guid- ance of the Sisters of St. Francis the students have been encouraged to maior in mathematics if that is one of the prerequisites for their future careers. Furthermore, by a careful study of algebra, plane geometry and trigonometry, the student of today receives training in clear and accurate thinking and in using his iudgment. This training will prove valuable to the citizens of today and tomorrow. lt is evident, therefore, that just as religion, science, English, and history rank high in the world of learning, so also does mathematics hold a prominent position in the progress of the world. 1.-Graphing the situation 2.-Giving the freshmen cz square deal 3.-Approaching the problem from the right angle 1201 52 4 f .iw ii' I' U1 f x 'bm I S I M3 M ,QS wJ 2 'inf x ,Q Y 1 A 197' w ., .R N , 1 1? - Q .MM K .ZW ffm? Q x ,B ,, i 4 ww X HISTORY History is that branch of knowl- edge concerned with ascertaining and recording past events. Man has always studied history, but unfortu- nately has failed to profit from its lessons. In an effort to show stu- dents the successes and failures of famous men in history, St. Mary's has always maintained a four-year history course. By studying history the students have been encouraged to learn how to profit from the mis- takes of others. The freshmen, for example, learn the fundamentals of good Christian living, so necessary at the present time. In the sopho- more year, the students learn the history of the world down through the ages. The iunior year history has America as it theme and brings each pupil closer to the America he must love and defend. The senior student appropriately learns the Christian principles of democratic government which must govern his actions in his chosen field and in his capacity as a loyal citizen to his country. Thus by completing the four-year course in history, the student of St. Mary's has instilled in himself the fact that he must not tail where others have, for the students of to- day will be the history-makers of tomorrow. 1.-Government of the people. by the people 2.-Christian living is good citizenship 3.-Beyond our borders is 21: 1 BUSINESS Business-the pursuit of commer- cial interests in general. Webster's definition doesn't sound very in- triguing, but actually business can be a fascinating career tor any young boy or girl. The business course at St. Mary's consists of: Introduction to Business, Business Law and Typing. In Intro- duction to Business, as the title im- plies, the pupil is introduced to the various business terms and prac- tices. Typing, ot course, is practical- ly a necessity for any vocation. It is a great help even while the student is still in high school or college, for it provides a quick, neat way for keeping notes and for writing term themes. From the course in typing he may advance to Business Law, a full year of study of the intricate laws that govern the commercial world. Too, during the course of this study, the pupil usually partici- pates in several well-planned de- bates for the purpose of acquiring the ability to speak intelligently and logically before an audience or before his business associates. Thus, the student who is thinking of mak- ing business his chosen field would do well to take advantage of this course at St. Mary's. I.-The home stretch 2.-Big business 3.-- I firmly believe . IZIII SCIENCE We are now living in an age of scientific discoveries. Within our lifetime the scientist has unfolded such powerful forces as atoms through cyclotrons. Men of science, however, have not merely been concerned with warfare, they have also come to the assistance of the modern housewife by providing electrical equipment for heating and cooking. Through further chemical research the new drugs of penicillin and streptomycin were discovered. These, as we all know, have proved invaluable in combat- ing diseases. Because of the great progress made in science, the students of St. Mary's have been urged to acquire and develop an interest in general science, biology, physics and or- ganic chemistry. With this back- ground the student should be able to find a place for himself in the scientific world. 1.- Sister, can I use chlorine to bleach my hair ? 2.-Freshmen see the light 3.-Biologists see the inside from the outside I :sin I 5 l flyvx Lu- .lf Wx QA f 7' up ,Zeis s We i r Nfrf- , viva Y i WW W' if X if f if nf? y 5 X il X y, ,wp lil F . it - gf, l ff.

With these words, each Sodalist wished, and the sixth annual Cafe Trixs Chic made its appearance. Some wished to be great dancers or singers, others desired to be famous celebrities of to- morrow like the Three Musketeers. Under the able direction ot Sister Paulette, the program moved along smoothly and rhythmically. After a cordial welcome by the hostess, Mary Alice McAuliff, the lights dimmed and the long awaited program began. As the audience closed their eyes and wished with the Three Musketeers, Yvonne lsat, Irene Del Vecchio and Roslyn Tucci carried them to the exotic and mystic sands of Arabia. Then, the senior girls formed a background for Margot Starr's dance interpretation of The River Seine. As an added attraction, Roslyn Tucci and John Walsh sang a duet to Papa, Dansez Avec Moi . Preceding the final act, Anna Poerio and Yvonne lsaf gave their sing- ing and dancing interpretation of the popular tune Nevertheless . Then with the strains of Our Show ls Over reverberating through the gaily decor- ated gym, the seniors of the Class of 1951 brought their hour to a close. Probably on this particular occasion a vocation or career was conceived.

Under the capable direction of Sister Merici, the senior class of T951 presented Brother Goose, a humorous three-act com- edy by William Davidson. This story concerns an unmarried architect and his efforts to keep his teen-ager family together. Brother Goose, Jeff Adams, is a young architect, who, overburdened by his lively family of two sisters and a brother, cannot find a housekeeper willing to be guide and cook to his troublesome flock. Already troubled by lack of funds, Jeff is confronted with a new problem. The Adams' maid quits because she cannot endure Hy's football tac- tics in her kitchen. Ten-year-old Hy has these interests - playing football and winning the captaincy from Stuffy Seigal. Then there is Wes, Jeff's seventeen-year-old brother, who is trying to capture the interests of Eve Mason, a Southern charmer. Carol's only ambition is to write the winning limerick that will award her a new Chrysler. To the rescue comes Peggy Winkle who accepts the job of housekeeper. Jeff then finds a iob drawing up Wee Blue Inn blueprints for Mrs. Trimmer, a sharp- tongued middle-aged woman. To complicate matters, Jeff is offered another iob by Lenore Hudson, a rich heiress, who actually plans to marry Jeff and then travel. Persistently fol- lowed by Lenore, Jeff forgets Mrs. Trimmer's plans and loses his iob. Then Hy ruins Lenore's housewarming party and Jeff loses his second iob. All turns out well, for Jeff and Peggy are together, Eve and Wes are a happy twosome, and Hy wins her football game with ten touch- downs. Ed Brackett, starred as Brother Goose, gave a splendid performance as the bewild- ered, young achitect, Anne O'Mara was an excellent supporter as the dowdy maid. John Walsh, Irene Del Vecchio and Roslyn Tucci skillfully interpreted their roles as Wes, Carol Yvonne and John going places and Hy. As the heroine, Anna Poerio aptly portrayed the part of the Adams' house- keeper. Elizabeth Edwards' portrayal of the snappy Mrs. Trimmer was very effective. Yvonne Isaf and Georgene Hagmann deftly enacted their roles as lovable Eve Mason and sophisticated Lenore Hudson. Mary Alice McAuliff as Eve's Negro maid was very hu- morous, while William Along gave a brief but memorable performance as the irate truck driver, whose gas tank was ruined by Hy's prankish deed. The make-up crew, under the guidance of Rita Jennings of Delta Psi Omega, consist- ing of Katherine Funk, Mary Hassett, Gerald- ine Heller, Nancy Keily, Vittoria Masterpaul, Elizabeth O'Shea and Yvonne Yacavone, carefully and correctly blended the make-up. All equipment, props, and sound effects were efficiently managed by James Adams, Thomas West, Charles Caughey, Richard Dwyer and Edward Skehan. While these boys took charge over the larger properties, Mar- garet Neugebauer arranged the smaller stage properties with clock-like precision. With this brief introduction to dramatics, each member of the senior class stopped, looked into the future, thought and asked him- self, Is this for me? Perhaps some members of the class will answer this call. Perhaps their names will shine on the brights lights of Broadway. Whatever the decision may be concerning dramatics, all were happy to have tasted the joys and the satisfaction of this career. On Parade E . First row fl. to r.I: A. Natoli iManagerI. I. Keegan. T.

MARY'S vs. DE SALES On September 24, Coach Bob Martin watched grimly as his small and light charges, clad in new green and gold jerseys, made their way through the gates at Randall Field and onto the gridiron to open the T950 sea- son against St. Francis De Sales High School. From the De Sales stands came a shout of ioy as the golden-ierseyed visitors bulldozed their way into the end zone early in the game for a 6l 6-O advantage. But in the third quarter Cap- tain Jim Dexter circled his left end and went over for the tying touchdown. St. Mary's hopes, however, were short-lived, because in three plays, Hamill, quarterback of Geneva, pulled the hidden-ball trick that was good for forty yards and a 13-6 victory. FULTON HIGH vs. ST. MARY'S The following Friday night, September 29, St. Mary's was confronted with the strong Fulton High School eleven. On a dew- covered field that hampered the passing at- tacks of both teams, the Red and Green iumped to a quick 20-O half-time advantage. The second half saw St. Mary's rally one touchdown with Johnny Walsh plunging through tackle for the six points. Fulton con- tinued her wide-open attack for two more touchdowns and St. Mary's was charged with her second defeat by a 32-6 tally. ST. MARY'S vs. SKANEATELES After an open date, St. Mary's welcomed undefeated Skaneateles High School to Ran- dall Field on the night of October ll. Skane- ateles opened the game in typical power- house fashion by scoring early in the first pe- riod. ln the second quarter, the Saints out- scored the visitors 7-6, with Jim Dexter carry- ing the pigskin over for the lone Blue and Gold tally. Halftime found that the Saints had held the visitors to a slight T2-7 lead. But the Lakers continued their assault in the sec- ond half and held the Blue and Gold score- less. When the final whistle sounded, St. Mary's had been defeated by a score of 19-7. HOLY FAMILY OF AUBURN vs. ST. MARY'S On October 22, the Blue and Gold iour- neyed to Auburn to meet the Purple and Gold Gridders of Holy Family. When the first St. Mary's play was called, Jim Adams bulled his way through the center of the Auburn line for sixty-five yards, putting the ball deep into en- emy territory. Then Jim Dexter raced around end and scored a touchdown for the Saints. Stunned by the tally, the Purple and Gold gridders captured the ball and repeated first downs until the margin was narrowed at 7-6. Didio, with the help of the offensive line prodded northward to tally for a score of T3- 7. The Martinmen slashed their way to the top again with Adams carrying the pigskin over for T4-T3 advantage. After see-sawing through the first half, Auburn proved to be driving hard for victory as the half ended 20- 14 in Holy Family's favor. In the second half, Holy Family obtained a quick lead of 40-'l4. St. Mary's fighting spirit was demonstrated when they rallied two last period touchdowns. Their counter-offensive failed as the Blue and Gold came out on the short end of a 40-28 score. ST. MARY'S vs. CAZENOVIA Attempting to get on the victory path, St. Mary's invaded Cazenovia on October 29. During the second quarter, Jim Dexter caught a pass and ran to the fifteen yard line. A ten yard addition was then gained by the persist- ent efforts of Jim Adams through the center of the Cazenovia line. The attack bogged down and Cazenovia took over. This did not dis- hearten the Saints, for they strove persever- ingly until they tallied a touchdown. At the end of the half, the score was knotted 7-7. As the second half wore on, the Martinmen found their opponents too strong and ended up on the short end of a 2l-'l3 score. ST. MARY'S vs. ST. ANTHONY'S Entering their last game of the season with high spirits, the St. Mary's boys met the Syracusans from St. Anthony's on a rain-swept home-field. Jim Dexter, cap- tain and key to the offensive attack, was sidelined by a hip iniury. With this set-back the game see-sawed for three quarters and at the beginning of the final period, the Paduans passed and tallied a score. With the final whistle, the game ended 6-O and with it came the end of the T950 season. At this game these following seniors sang their farewell song: Captain Jim Dexter, John Walsh, Ed Brackett and Bill Along. To Father Harrison and Coach Martin the players expressed their appreci- ation and gratitude for a iob well done. l37l Top row ll. to r.l: I. Dwyer. L. Mastin. R, Dexter. R.

O'Mara As the last strains of the haunting melody Whispering Hope echoed softly through the auditorium, we, the members of the Glee Club, fondly recalled our activities of the past year. Some of us, no doubt, will find our niche in a world of song because of our love of good music. Under the direction of Sister M. Theresia, we shared a small part in the success of the senior play with the blended harmony of Bells, On a different note was our lively ren- dition of Victor Herbert's rousing march, Tramp, Tramp, Tramp . The following months were filled with gay song fests, which for us will always hold happy memories. l 41 One of the highlights of the year was our singing of the first Saturday Masses in honor of Our Lady of Fatima. For these, her special days, we learned the Orbis Factor Mass. We were also called upon to participate at the Holy Week services and evening devo- tions. Finally June came with its flurry of ex- cited preparations for Commencement. Not the least of these were the rehearsals of the St. Mary's Glee Club. We shall bid our last farewell to the seniors with the stirring melo- dies: God Painted A Picture, Fred Waring's special arrangement of Battle Hymn of the Republic and the lovely refrain, Whisper- ing Hope.

Each activity of the Sodal- ity in which we have participated has brought us one step closer to Our Lord. We have learned that in all her appear- ances on earth, Mary has requested the daily recitation of the family rosary. Now in ac- cordance with her wishes, our Sodality has re- cently adopted a new project. This is the sol- emn entrance of the statue of Our Blessed Virgin into each Sodalist's home for a week. Every night in the presence of Our Blessed Mother, the family recites the Rosary, for ac- 21 cording to Father Peyton: The family that prays together, stays together . Another important project that we Sodal- ists are doing our best to promote is the Christopher Movement . Through our discus- sions, we have come to realize how much one individual can do to save souls. These are iust two of the many plans which we as Sodalists have formulated. We feel that through the operation of these plans, Mary our Mother will help us to find our voca- tion, for has she not been our life, our sweet- ness, and our hope?

McDermott To the altar of God come the choir boys to sing His praises during the Holy Sacri- fice of the Mass. ln unison they lift their voices in the beautiful hymns of the Church that echo through the quiet sanctuary. Solemnly each fulfills his part in the Mass, a part which merits the young chorister the blessing of God. Perfection in singing and in dress, from the Introit to the Last Gospel and from their starched collars to their flowing red cassocks, is stressed by Sister M. Dolorosa. Under her patient guidance each boy strives to master the difficult Latin responses and the beautiful its 1 Gregorian hymns. Each chorister, inspired by his desire to give glory to God, faithfully car- ries out his instructions and strives for that perfection. By participation in ceremonies on holy days of obligation and during Holy Week, each chorister gives active proof of his desire to give that glory to God. Perhaps a vocation is being started when these boys sing at Mass. Perhaps some day one of these choristers will repeat Ad altare Dei, but this time as a representative of Christ on earth-a member of the holy priesthood. Call to Arms Just as each youth today anxiously awaits his call to arms, likewise does each Sodalist await the beckoning voice of his com- manding officer calling him to a retreat. Thus, as February ushered in the holy season of Lent, eighty-four eager young Sodalists at St. Mary's received their call to present them- selves before Father Francis Brock, S. J., for their annual retreat. lt was during the quiet contemplation of retreat that the Sodalists realized into which service of God's army they were being sum- moned. Guided by the conferences and talks of the retreat master, they learned what weapons they should use to fight this battle of life. Daily they endeavored to come closer to Christ and His Mother by the recitation of the rosary, visits to the Blessed Sacrament, spir- itual reading and meditation, daily attend- ance at Mass, and the reception of Holy Com- munion. These the Sodalists learned were the best weapons to word off the attacks of the enemy, these were the best means to stay in the camp of their Master. As this memorable retreat drew to a close, the Sodalists sang with renewed strength and vigor the words of their beloved hymn: An army of youth, flying the stand- ards of truth, we're fighting for Christ, the Lord. Father Brock and Father Horan with the Retreatants in I Seniors' First Taste of Convent Life i f fgib Father Horan presiding at the senior breakfast Bless us, O Lord, in these, Thy gifts, which we are about to receive . . . After Father Horan had given the bless- ing, the long awaited and eagerly anticipated senior breakfast at last became a reality. Thirteen happy, hungry seniors sat down at the prettily decorated table, with the tradi- tional red and white colors of the senior class. Dainty favors and graceful gladioli seemed to add an extra touch of beauty to the table. Aseries of Oh's and Ah's were re- peated by the seniors when they saw food fit for a king placed before them. During the breakfast each recalled cherished memories I is 1 of his high school life and exchanged appro- priate repartee. It was then they realized that only for a little time longer would they be together as a class. After breakfast a few of the more am- bitious seniors picked up the dishes and set the table for the next meal, the not-so-ambi- tious one played records from the popular South Pacific and the ever popular Desert Song. Thus was brought to a close the first of the last days as the Class of 1951 and each repeated to himself the words. We give Thee thanks for all Thy benefits, O Almighty God, Who livest and reignest forever . . . These Also Served Standing ll .to r.J: A. O'Mara. R. Tucci. E. Brackett. I. Dal Vecchio, P.
