The October 1961 Chronicle had a couple of articles on United Nations Week and another editorial calling CHS students to task, this time for a conspicuous lack of enthusiasm. The September Chronicle had complained about the lack of maturity among students and the editorial in this issue said, “Cathedral is running lower on enthusiasm these days than a sway-backed rattlesnake(?).” I repeat — Who wrote these things?

Three classmates made the front page. Kathleen Williams‘s picture (at right) accompanied an item on biology classes and “beautiful bugs.” Paul Donahue‘s visage was in a photo/cartoon (above) about our debating teams. Kevin O’Malley was listed as a correspondent for WSPR sports.

Page three (sports) reported on the winless varsity Purple Panthers, but also had an item about the JV football team. Mentioned were classmates Tom Briggs, Don Chase, Paul “Fuzzy” Dufresne, Desmond Callahan, Dennis Finnerty, and Dan O’Malley.

Here’s the October 20, 1961, Chronicle
