muddled world
of

the

nly flaunt
their
ba

s of
dominion and strut,
in
k
in
g-
l
y fashion, past endless
ranks
of
bewildered
human
s.
B
u
t then a
c
ry
is
heard-a
cry
that
struggles
from the throats
of
dazed
humanit
y
and
swe
ll
s
re
so
urc
e
fully into
an insistent clamor.
Mankind de-
mand
s
a
leader;
a
l
eader who can guide
it
through
th
e
throes of
"c

s

into
the
ex

of

In

it

l
eader,
but, in

has

stra

eg

in
vain
has
it
probed the inner
sanct
um
s
of po
litical
bigwigs, to fill this
need.
Twentieth
century
humanity is realiz-
ing
that
a g
lib
tongue,
a shrewd
foresight,
or a calculating
mind does
not
of
necessity beget a
true
leader.
Th
ere
i
s one
Way,

Truth, and

that

o

Th

beyond the bodies of men
in or

that

Brother Provincial receiving honorary Doctor of La....,
degree from Fordham University.
Brother Thomas Austin
President
Provincial of
the
United States
My dear Graduates:
I am
happy
to accede to your request for a contribution
to the Marian Yearbook of your class.
It
gives me a desired opportun-
ity
to give more permanency in print
to
feelings of gratitude, appreci-
ation, and of joy, that are evoked from your graduation from Marian.
My gratitude is expressed in the
name
of the
Province
to
Brother
Paul Ambrose to
whose inspiring
leadership,
devoted-
ness
and administrative ability are due
in
great part
the
achieve-
ments we
honor
and rejoice
in this day.
My
gratitude
is
addressed in
the name
of
the Province
to
the faculty of
Marian
College, whose professional
interest
and
efficiency, whose stimulating interest of our young Brothers
to
truth,
and beauty, and gladness
has helped maintain
s
cholastic
standards
that
we can all
be
proud of.
My
appreciation and congratulations are addressed
to
the
student
body
of
Marian
College,
to the
Graduates especially,
whose intelligent
cooperation and effort,
whose
spirit of
fraternal
unity
and
mutual helpfulness have
stirred
in all Marist hearts deep
feelings of admiration, rejoicing and
gratitude
to God.
You have been
given
much that
most of your seniors
in the
Community
were deprived
of or
had to
get
the hard way.
We would not have it otherwise, because
we
ol:::serve with
con-
solation
that the spiritual, intellectual and character-growth which
is fostered at Marian develops into unusual fruitfulness in the pro-
fessional and religious lives
of
our Graduate
;;
.
That it be so for all of you, with the
continued
blessing
of Christ and His Blessed Mother, is the fervent wish I make in
the name of all.
Sincerely in J.M
.

THE
LIFE of a
Marist religious
educator
is
too
intricate
a voc-
ation
to
summarily
recognize with
a careless wave of
the hand
and a simple
nod
of
thanks. Behind the
ever-present, but super-
ficial veneer of
lectures,
assignments, and examinations exist
the
basic,
incalculable
aspects that
make
the educator what
he
really
is-another
apostle, another
"fisher
of
men".
Our religious,
scholastic, and social
live here
at
Marian have
been
providentially intertwined with those
of our
faculty members,
and
we, as
young, but
fellow Marists, have not
fai
l
ed
to
esteem
the
the inspiring
example
that they have
always
manifested in
our dai
l
y
contacts
with them. Theirs have been lives
of
tireless devotion-a
devotion which
ha
s
b
l
ossomed from
sturdy roots of
magnificent

spiritual
ideals and burgeoned into
an exqu1s1te exemplification
of
the true Marist Way. Theirs have been lives
of
remarkable
inspiration for us who are just now
embarking
upon the initial
labors
of our apostolate-an
inspiration
which,
we are
certain,
will
ever g
l
ow with the brilliancy
of an
unquenchable belief in
this
our
Marist
vocation.
To each
of you,
then, members
of our
Marian faculty, we are
greatly
indebted for all that you have done to make these past
three years the unforgettab
l
e ones
that they were. Our
parting
gesture is a fervent prayer that Mary, our Marist Queen, will
shower
you with the fullness
of
God's
special graces.

ALL OF US TOGETHER-1952
MEMORIES FROM
SECOND YEAR
As
TIIE
newly-professed swarmed
in to
swell our ranks
to the hundred
mark, the Freshmen
Class of
'51 resigned the
crown
with little reluctance
to become the
hock
troops of
Marian
Sophomores of
1952.
Although
we were officially designated as Sophomores, our class was
divided
into
a free for all as various
major
fields claimed our allegiances.
The
clash of
interests
presented
us
with any
number
of amusing
incidents
which we still delight in chuckling over.
.
Aa
we glance back, many fond memories
flood
our
thoughts from
the several months that
flew
by so
quickly,
which we
now
call (using
the
past
tense)
our second year at Marian.
Doctor
Shroeder's
interesting
and
lively
Speech classes;
Brother George's History
periods
that
presented
to
us
an
insight into
far
more things than
emperors and
dictators; the
scient\fic depths explored
under
Brother
Ernest and Mr
.
Marano; Brother
Francis'
weekly
trips from
work at
Esopus to lead us deeper into Philosophy
and
Mathematics-all
combined to
fill
a well-balanced, fascinating Sopho-
more
year!
But to the work
at
hand!
second year
is
behind
us,
and
third
year
looms
before our eyes.
A
gigantic
task has
been thrust
upon us-we have
become
the
Seniors of
Marian. We
follow
in the
steps of a great class;
it is
our
hope
and prayer that we may,
in their imitation, work
together for a greater
Marian.
"Orare et
Laborare" is
our
motto-"Together" is
our spirit!

THE MEMORARE CLUB
The O
r
dinary Resource o
f
Marian
!
"ORARE ET
LABORAR
E
" reads the
sea
l
of
Marian
College, and so
it
is
only
fitting that
we
begin this
year
book by recalling
our
union
of
prayer
i
n the
evening Memorare.
There is
always something
beautiful
and com-
forting when we recall
that
we
are saying
it in union with
our
Brothers
scattered
through
every
house
of
the Province,
for a common
intention
.
T
here day is ended; they have worked hard. They
are
tired and perhaps
even a
little discouraged
at
the events of the day. But whatever
t
heir
feeling,
they know they are not
alone.
Their Memorare, whether it be
a
prayer
of graditude or a
plea for srength
and
courage to
face
the future,
is
backed
up
by
the
voices of our
united Marist family.
If
it was
ever
true,
it is
so
now more than
ever,
that "the family that
prays
together,
stays
together
.

MUSIC AT
MARIAN
Musi
c,
I
N
ONE FORM or
another, contitutes
one of
the main
extra
-
curricular activities
here
at
Marian
College, and one
that is
a
favorite with
all. This is due
i
n large part to the
efforts of our
music maestro, Brother
Adrian August,
whose waving
baton has proved to be an
essential
factor
in
all our
musical
endeavors. Under
his
able
direction the Greystone
Orchestra has been built up into a fine
organization,
which in fac
t
can
be
attested to
by
all
those
who
have heard
their
fine orchestral work. In
the
vocal
field, Brother's work is
also
much in
evidence.
Many an
entertain-
ment has received
a
magic touch from a
vocal selection
beautifully sung
by the Marian Choir
or
the Glee
Club.
But the most
important
phase
of
the
music at Marian has been the
study of
re
l
igious music
and
Gregorian chant.
Feast-day High Masses, Benediction, Vespers, whether they
were
rendered
in plain
chant, or
in
four part
harmony, have all been beautified by the
singing
of the student choir. Yes, true to
the spirit
of
our
Venerable Founder,
we have made music a part of
our
l
ives,
so
that in the future, we may use
this means to br
i
ng
souls
to Chr
i
st.
Actual work
on
the Library began
l
ate
in 1951, when the chape
l
and
sacristy
of the former Novitiate-J
u
niorate were fitted out with
s
h
elves
and disp
l
ay
cases
.
In the
short
time
of
its
existence,
Our Lady's L
i
brary
has
acq
u
ired
over
five thousand volumes, in nineteen languages. A
l
most
daily,
shipments of
books arrive from priests, religious and lay
folk, a
ll
anxious to honor Mary
and spread
her devotion.
Tho
u
gh the Library is frequented a
l
most exclusive
l
y
by
scho
l
astics,
we hope that the near f
u
ture will
see
this
store-house
of Marian literature
opened to all of O
ur
Lady's clien
t
s, to further our work
of
making her
better k
n
own and loved.

PUBLICATIONS
Alway
s
on the job-the
Little Brother
s
o important
to our publications!
The Greystone Gazette, our weekly journal, and Chips, our bi
-
annua
l
publication, have been the main incentive to our literary achievements.
Often, the Scholastics have contributed too
in
the pub
l
ication of
our
monthly
Bulletin
of
Studies
.
THE ART CLUB
OuR ART
CLUB
found its center of activity in the Art Room at S
t
.
Mary's under the direction of Brother Kenneth Evence. The posters for
festive
occasions
and sports
events,
the beautiful spiritual bouq
u
ets for
feast
days, cover designs for our
Greystone Gazette, masterful paintings
representing our Marist
spirit
-all
found their
origin
in that cultural corner
of our
College
.
OUR LADY'S LIBRARY
ONLY
A FEW
short years ago, the entire Mariology collection here at
Marian
occupied
seven or
eight
shelves in Greystone's
stack
room. Researc
h
on any phase
of
Our Lady's life,
virtues or
apparitions wa
s
naturally
very
limited
.
Then, in 1950, Brother
Cyril
Robert proposed to undertake an entirely
new
endeavor
:
Our Lady' Library, which would begin with our meager
collection, and would one day contain, it was hoped
,
a copy of every
available Marian book m the world.

SPORTS
In
THE
YEAR
1951-1952 has
been for Marian
little
short of phenominal
in the realm of sports. Action-packed contests, in which victory or
defeat
hinged upon
the final whistle became
the usual
order of the day. Whether
it
was football,
hockey,
basketball or softball, spectators certainly enjoyed
the games from start
to finish.
In
football,
it
was the
Thanksgiving Day
game
that
stole the show.
Freshmen and Senior-Soph teams pitted against each other in a fray
that
was every
inch a match, did themselves
proud and earned
well merited
praise.
Although the
odds ran against
them, the
o
lder Scholastics
managed
to snatch
the
victory from
the
Underclassmen.
Basketball treated the
College to a great
league
and
to
a series
of splendid
extra games. No
one
who
watched
the
Varsity
battle the
faculty
of
Mount
St.
Michael's would dare
venture
to
predict an outcome one
minute
before the final buzz. With
electrifying swiftness,
Marian with
but seconds
to play, hooked a basket
and
the ball
game.
The Freshmen had
their revenge
at
last,
for
in basketball they romped away with the laurels
as
they
soundly
defeated the
Seniors
by
a
wide
margin.
With the advent
of Spring, softball
took
over
as
the king of sports
and
its reign has featured
a series
of
games
filled with the dramatic and
unexpected. In
early
autumn, the Upperclassmen had lost to the Freshmen,
but
come Spring
the
order
was reversed. On Ascension Thursday, many
;)f
the members of the Senior
squad
played their final collegiate classic.
The "old men" fittingly won their last
effort
and were able to retire honor-
ably from "the field
of
friendly
strife,"
fully
content
with their record of
achievements
.
And so it goes on, sport follows
sport,
b
u
t the spirit and sense of
TOGETHER
generated
by th.ese
games
never cease to be a d
ri
v
i
ng force at
Marian.
T
he home of Marian spo
r
t-life, built
by many hands work
i
ng TOGETHER,
t
h
e gym ever stands as a reminder of
the spirit that has pervaded Marian
d
ur
ing all its years, the spirit of TO,

SHRINES OF OUR LADY
As THE
YEAR
1949 tucked its blankets in to
settle
down forever
with
bygone centuries, there appeared
in the
Bulletin
of
Studies
an article on a
shrine of
Our Blessed Mother in
Czestochowa,
Poland. This first
write-up
of one of
Mary's
"little
known
shrines"
typified many that
were to follow
(from a title no
one could pronounce
to
a
hamlet no
one could
find.)
The research
material
was
garnered
from the recesses
of
the library. This
terrible
lack
of source
material, a formidable bulwark,
was slowly deprived
of
its retarding power, as the religion, magazine
and
history
sections of
Greystone were forced
to pour forth their treasures. The
greatest boon
to the program
outlined,
was the materialization
of an
idea, which
blossomed into Our Lady's Library. With the influx
of every
type
of
book
on
Our Blessed Mother, a
vast
new
vista of
potential background material
was opened
up,
on
which
could
be built
a series of volumes on
her
shrines
throughout the world.
The first volume is in the printing
stage
and will
contain
twenty
shrines.
At
the end of
'53
a possible
second
volume will be out
.
Thus the project will
go on
from year to
year,
under the protection and
guidance
of Our Blessed
Mother,
for
whom, and by whom we work.
CO-MISSIONARY APOSTOLA TE
Two WORLD WARS have taught us that military
success
is largely due
to the efforts of the "men behind the
guns
.
" The
same
is true
of
the
spiritual
warfare in the front line
of
the missions
.
Our missionaries
are
men of
self-sacrifice, strong
in the
spirit of
Christ. But the
success
of
their efforts depends upon us
on
the home front
.
That is the reason for
the Co-Missionary Apostolate. Its only
obligations
are prayer
and
good will.
By
the
offering of
one's daily
actions, a
decade
of
beads,
a
remembrance
at
Mass and
Communion,
we
supply
the
spiritual ammunition
for the
offensive
in
the
battle for
souls.
In return, the
Co-Missionary
will be remem-
bered for his
generosity,
both in the prayers of the missionaries,
and
in
God's account
books.
The Apostolate is
spreading
rapidly throughout
our schools.
Only the men
on
the firing line can tell how much it means
to know that
"back
home" there is an
army
of Brothers beginning
each
day with a whispered prayer: "Mary, Mother
of
missionaries
an co-mission-
aries,
help them to help
others."
PRACTICE TEACHING
AT THE
TOP of
the first page of
one of
the chapters in a first
year
Latin book, there is inscribed a
short
phrase, which, despite its terseness,
is packed with wisdom: "Eperentia docet." Experience is the best teacher.
That is why the practice teaching program here
at
Marian features
so
highly in the minds of us teachers of tomorrow. The
several
opportunities
that we have had to teach the Juniors in Esopus have been highly prized
as chances
to
get
into the "feel" of conducting
a
class. Futhermore, Educat-
ion Week and
practice
teaching, which found its place in the
curriculum
this
year,
was
seized
upon
as
another outlet for our desire to
gain
experience.
Of course, teachers
are
not made overnight,
and
we
are
far from perfection.
But we do feel that our first baby
steps
have profited us much,
even
if
they have only served to make us realize how little we know.













THE STORY BEHIND GREYSTONE '52
Fr
:\
AL
EXAMINATIONS,
comprehensive
tests, the Exercises
of
the Great Retreat-all were only a few weeks off when we found
out
that it was possible for us to have a Yearbook
.
This was due
to the kindness
of
one
o
f
the Graduate's father, who was willing to
see
if the copper plates required for printing pictures could be
ob-
tained without cost, as a favor to us. When word reached Pough-
keepsie that an engraver in New York was willing to make them in
his free time, work on the Yearbook was resumed with added im-
petus. By test time the format was completed; however, it was not
until the first week of July that work
could
be resumed.
When the Graduates left Marian
for
their thirty-day retreat,
the planning and printing was continued by the Underclassmen.
So
we
see, all
three
years
contributed to making this Yearbook-
may it be
a
reminder
of
the
spirit of
Marian, a
spirit
found in
all
our
prayers
and
works, the
spirit of
TOG~THER
.
May we add, in
conclusion,
a word
of
thanks to Brother Provin-
cial
and to Brother Master, for their kind permission to undertake
this task, and their encouragement to its completion-and a word
of sincere
grad
itude
to the Father and to the Engraver, without
whose
generosity
and kindness this Yearbook would not have been
possible; their names we do not
h
ere
inscribe, but we
do
not need
their names to pray for them.
All to Jesus through Mary TOGETHER
