The May 1962 issue of the Cathedral Chronicle was, as it should have been, pretty focused on the soon-to-graduate Class of 1962. Not a single picture of a classmate . . . but we were represented well in the Literary Supplement.

Page one did mention that classmates Marilynn Stowe and Bill Devlin were among the first CHS art students to submit entries to the International School Art Program.

Bill also had a prize-winning sketch of a beach house (left) included in the Literary Supplement (pages three and four). Anne Fahey published a poem and sketches constituting “Scenes from ‘Silas Marner.'” One of her sketches is at right.

Patricia Trench and Jeff Powers each had an essay on page three, along with Barbara Mooney, Jim McCaffrey, and Kathleen Ensign on page four. Barbara Shean, Christine Lukas, and Fran Liro were represented as poets on page four.

The CHS “cinder men” dominated the West Springfield relays (page five), and several classmates contributed to the success. Dennis Trelease and John Collins were among the sprinters, with Steve Sullivan adding to the middle-distance runners and Dick Grogan to the broad jump team. There’s extensive coverage of three other track meets, with mention of these classmates, and one odd entry. “John Collins, though running slowly, took two first places.” John . . . running slowly?

Rich Murphy is cited as a golf team member, and the CHS “diamonds” include Don Chase at 3rd base and Gene Ryzewicz at shortstop.

The honors list for the third quarter, sophomore year, only merited the back page. Attaining First Honors were Ray Brassard, Josette Bouchie, James Boucher, Vincent Brown, Judy Cross, Dyanne Dillon, Paul Donahue, Bill Liquori, Patricia Malinski, Jim Montanari, June Morini, Bill Nader, Claire Pratte, Donna Roy, John Sheehan, Alan Sponburgh, and George Shannon.
