AUGUSTINIAN FATHERS

A PORTRAIT.

SCHOC THE AUGUSTINIA

JOHN P. HEFFERNAN ARCHITECT

<a.

woe Sree ~<a

Austin Prep was established at the invitation and through the assistance of his Eminence, Richard Cardinal Cushing, Archbishop of Boston. Cardinal Cushing, announced the proposed school in 1961 and invited the Order of St. Augustine to build the school at a cost in excess of $3,000,000.

Father Burnell, speaking before the local Rotary Club, prior to construction in 1963, | stated that Reading had been chosen as the site for Austin for two main reasons. There was, he said, a demand for a parochial school of this type in this area and Reading was in the geographic center in the area needing to be served.

The school’s name, Austin, is one rich in historical significance.

As early as the 14th century the Augustineshte sepa eae as Sotedceversn eee ians, or Austin Friars, as they were called in Se | England, founded a college at Oxford known as the ‘‘Austin Friars’’.

So celebrated did this institution become that eventually all candidates for degrees in divinity at the University were required to take their oral exams at ‘‘Austin Friars’.

A LOOK AT LL

The Augustinian Fathers are men of the oldest religious order. The order was founded by St. Augustine in the fourth century and its theologians have always worked in education and research. And, so, even today, this Augustinian influence lives in Austin Prep.

From its very conception Austin became known as one of the leading prep schools in the area with the great majority of its graduates going on to college.

In 1969, Austin faced the threat of closing. Due to the high cost of maintenance and materials, it was decided to discontinue the Prep as an Augustinian institution of education. Because of the dedicated strong spirit of the people of Austin, the Prep was kept alive. Austin became, ‘“‘The School That Wouldn’t Die’.

Since this reopening, a new athletic field, complete with bleachers and scoreboard, was constructed, enrollment has increased, and a new ice area is, presently, in the planning stages.

Let us hope that the spirit and influence of Austin will continue to exist in the New England area.

Driver Ed

Once again Fr. Johnson is offering his services to the future drivers of Massachusetts. He is the only classroom instructor, but the experience of driving with the students is shared by Fr. Johnson and Mr. O'Connor. Between these two instructors, those enrolled in the 6-week course learn about the pleasures and hazards of driving. The classroom instruction of 30 hours consists of learning about the parts of a car and hypothetical driving situations, information given by informative film strips, and driving experiences, the students are taken out into the streets of Reading and of the surrounding towns. Such things as parallel parking, driving in highway and city traffic are practiced and thus give the students commuting from far away towns the skill needed to drive to and from school.

Intramurals

Under the supervision of Commissioners Adamo and DeFlorio, the intramural system was expanded once again to admit a new sport. This year, due in part to a large number of interested students, soccer was begun. Five teams comprised the league, with matches every Monday.

The Cossacks have successfully defended their Softball League title to make them champs for two consecutive seasons. They ended their season with a record of 8-1-0.

Due to the large number of street hockey teams (13) the league has been divided into 2 divisions, the EAST and WEST. This year the race to the playoffs promises to be tight with no teams more than 2 games out of first.

Friends of Austin

In September of 1970, the Men of Austin, Ladies of Austin, and the Athletic Committee were consolidated into one organization—the Friends of Austin. Its primary purpose is to raise funds to supplement the regular school budget. This is accomplished by monthly socials, dues, selling football programs, and other fund raising activities. Some of the accomplishments of the Friends include Fr. Seymour Field, the circular drive around school, outfitting the typing room, new library shelving, and buying cheerleader uniforms. The students and faculty owe a great debt of gratitude to these many—often anonymous—men and women who have supported the school since its founding.

Eo) AG\ a re a $ ge) Pe woke -

During the school week beginning Sept. 24, the Activities Office and the APHRS worked to obtain time off for a Pep Rally to instill school spirit in the student body in preparation for the upcoming game with Cardinal Spellman. A B-schedule was granted for Friday Sept. 28. The Student body assembled in the stands of Fr. Seymour Field where Activities Director, Mr. McCarthy, welcomed everyone and Bob Pelosi of the APHRS introduced the Football players of the Varsity, J.V., and Freshman teams. The Cheerleaders then led the group in various cheers. As a final gesture of spirit, many football players even attempted to act out the cheers.

Folk Group

Besides singing for pleasure, the members of the Folk Group prepare for and sing at Austin Masses at the school and also sing for the elderly. A subdivision of the Folk Group is the Eastern Massachusetts Association for Retarded Children. Members of this group work with retarded children at Hathorne House in Danvers, Mass. Members of one or both groups are: Martin Stafford, Alex Bova, Olin London, Roger Breakey, Kevin Fandel, Jim Bramante, Fr. Morgan, Bob Pelosi, Dick Brennan, Brian Barrett, Jack Twomey, Mark Arsenault, Ed Dee, Tom Connors.

As everybody knows, the Austin image breeds friendship and kindness to all fellowmen. Here, Dick Ryan and Bill Handley make friends with two acquaintances.

|.D. Card Club

The |.D. Card Club, moderated by Mr. Jenkins, is conducted like a small business. The club goes out to various schools, clubs, and other organizations to make |.D. Cards for their members. The students volunteer their time, and in no way get any of the money they receive; any financial profit is donated for the benefit and betterment of the entire school community. Front Row: Gerry Wilson, Ken Chisholm, Brian Barrett. Second Row: Dave McConnell, Steve Landry, Bob Arena, Bob Pelosi. Back Row: Ed Dee, Tim Donahue, Sean Farrell.

Cheerleaders

This year’s cheering squad proved to be of great spirit, with a tremendous record of attendance at practices as well as games. For Hockey and Basketball games, they have split into two squads of six girls each.

Last year the squad competed in the CYO-CHS Cheerleading Competition and placed fourth. This year the girls hope to do much better.

The members are: Merilee Halpin, Nancy Brownlow, Kathy Wallent, Patty Lally, Rosie McDonald, Jody Holden, Martha Gugger, Mary Kelly, Cindy Rosa, Donna Everett, Stephanie Cox, Tricia McDonald.

Blackfriars

The Blackfriars, Austins dramatic organization, is again under the direction of Mr. Parrella and Mr. Stone. During the past year, they have put on plays of known authors as Nathaniel Hawthorne and lesser known authors as Jim Cooten. Membership includes: Marty Stafford, Kevin MacDonald, John Krasznikeiwicz, John Kelly, Jeff DelPapa, John MacDougall, John McDonald, Dan Hurley, John Webb, Dan Mazza, Kevin Fandel, Greg Hayes, Bob Dunleavy, Brian Barrett.

Math Club/Team

The school’s team hosted the December Math Meet and_ placed fourth. Membership includes: Dave Fournier, Dom _ Sciaudone, Paul Cammasso, Bob Arena, Brian Barrett, Jeff DelPapa, Jim Peters, Paul Day, Bill Smith, Mike Clarke.

1973 Omega

The Yearbook of any school is not just an activity run for the benefit and experience of the students. It is a business, compiling and producing a product that will be sold to the public, not only members of the school community, but to friends and relatives of the entire student body. Of all books purchased by a family, this more than any other will be cherished for the memories it contains, and the recollections it inspires in each and every one of us. Although it is the product of a small staff, it mirrors all aspects of life at Austin Prep. The trivial and the profound, the commonplace and the unusual. It is the hope that this book will be a source of pleasure to all who pick up and read.

Sports Editor Steve Landry works. all night to finish his section.

Equally unselfish with his time and energy was Dave McConnell, who became Activities Editor as well as Photo-Librarian. The 1973 Omega was the product of a competent few, often impeded by a willing though not so dedicated minority who were neither willing nor able when the deadlines came.

Basketball

The Basketball season marked the beginning of Austin’s involvement in the Merrimack Valley Conference. From the onset, Andover and Tewksbury were the class of the league. They seemed almost unbeatable by the other members of the league.

Austin entered the season with great concern over their lack of height. Their concern was_ well founded as they lost their initial encounters with Chelmsford, Tewksbury, and Andover due to a lack of height.

Disheartened the team continued to lose to the weaker teams; Northeast Regional, Dracut, Wilmington and Central Catholic.

These losses were interrupted by

victories against Methuen and Billerica.

On January 31 the team journeyed to the Boston Gardens to play Methuen in a game proceeding the Celtics’ game. This evening however was spoiled by an inexplainable loss to a previously defeated team.

Again the team lost in its encounters with Chelmsford, and Tewksbury, and Andover. The team now inspired by their performance against Andover, entered the final stage of the season with new found determination.

After a hard fought victory over Billerica the team, finished their season with a flurry.

All in all the season was disappointing with very few bright spots.

This year, the Junior Varsity Program was drastically altered. The Freshman team was destroyed as a separate entity and was absorbed by the Junior Varsity. Also with the hope of building a strong basketball program for the future, the Junior Varsity practiced and played with Varsity. Many Junior Varsity players also accrued a large amount of Varsity playing time.

The changes tended to, and eventually did, destroy the continuity of the team as the lineup and the availability of certain players was constantly changing. This team, however, showed great improvement over the long season.

The hockey team received it’s induction into the Merrimack Valley League this year. They endured a long and extremely disappointing season. They were plagued by one goal losses. Disheartened, they continued to lose, though showing occasional brilliance. Now that the initiation is over, let’s hope for better luck in the future.

The hockey team, under first-year coach Jack McMahon, went winless in its first five games —losing every game by one goal ‘‘The kind you grind your teeth over’, moans McMahon, who had been an assistant at Austin for four years.

“The switch from the Catholic Central League is a factor’, says McMahon. ‘‘There are different rules, new restrictions on the number of skaters you can carry and things like that.

“But, in truth, we’re a little short on stick handling and hockey savvy... .”’

The defense, led by Captain Fred Nelson consisted of Wayne Taylor, Captain Nelson, John Woodford, Ricky Silva, Ron Nelson, and Chuckie Antetomasso.

The centers of the various lines were Tommy Wright, Louis Cappuci, Kevin Crowley, Steve ‘‘River’”’ Swanson, and Brian Quinn.

Cross-Country

The Cross-Country team has had the distinction of competing in two leagues this year. Austin had a preview to the teams it will be running against next year in the Merrimack Valley Conference as well as a last chance to revenge any losses to rivals in the Central Catholic League over the years. Unfortunately, the Cougars did not fare well in their old League and ended the season with a record of 2-wins and 5-losses.

However, looking ahead to next year, the team did surprisingly well against such teams as Chelmsford and Dracut, and ended the season with a record of 4-wins and 3-losses.

Some runners who performed well this year were Mark Arsenault, Lou Cappucci, Chris McConnell, Tim Donahue, Jon Gallagher, Roland Phillips and Kevin Callahan.

“Austin Remains Undefeated’’, ‘‘Austin Prep Still Undefeated’, these and many others echoed the theme of the Austin Prep Football Team of 1972. At the onset of the season these headlines appeared almost as questions for this team was thought to be of average skill and of diminutive size. An early unimpressive win over Lawrence Regional (12-8) proved these preseason predictions right. This was an average team with a very small backfield. ‘‘Marian Shocked in Opener’, ‘‘Austin Comeback Wins 20-14’’. This game began a long list of superlatives to be used in describing Austin’s football team. Labeled ‘‘the greatest comeback ever’’ by head coach Larry Klimas, it proved to the players that this was no ordinary team. ‘‘Austin Jars Spellman’’, ‘‘Austin Still Undefeated”’.

Austin’s team had now defeated the two top teams in the Catholic Central League. They had traveled to Cardinal Spellman and defeated its finest for the first time in the short 9 year history of Austin Prep. “Prep Belts Matignon’’, ‘“‘Austin Stays Unbeaten’. Austin entered this game for the final time of the season as an underdog. “Austin played what was probably its finest game ever, trouncing Matignon 36-16”. Austin so completely controlled the game that at the conclusion Austin had outgained its foe on the ground 225 yards to 5 yards. Perhaps the most exciting game of the season was yet to come.

From the Reading Chronicle, Thursday, October 26, 1972.

On Sunday, October 15, Austin Prep’s team traveled to Arlington to face a supposedly easy Arlington Catholic team. What they met was an inspired defense and a very capable offense.

“Austin Stays Unbeaten Taking 6-3 Thriller in Final Seconds’’. Austin had preserved its unblemished record in the last 30 seconds of the game. The ‘‘Green Machine’ as the team was now known, rolled on to its sixth straight victory over St. Mary’s. After returning the opening kickoff for a touchdown, there was little doubt as to which was the superior of the two teams. The final score of 32-16 seemed almost meaningless. The ‘‘Green Machine’ again rolled on to victory. On a rainy, chilly Saturday morning the tough Austin defense withheld a determined effort by an enormous Bishop Fenwick team. The halftime score of 6-6 indicated the parity of the teams on that day.

oo “The Austin Prep offense gave it’s best display on the 1972 season scoring 17 first downs. ‘‘Our offense was great out there today”’, remarked smiling Coach Klimas. Give credit to a solid defense, too. Yebba (Don), McCarron (Mike), DeMattia (Geo. ) and Kielly, they were all great’’. It’s difficult to pick out anybody who stood over another. They all played well. Perhaps the best of the season”’. From Fred B. Cole’s column, Lawrence Eagle-Tribune Monday, October OMlo72.

With little more than a minute remaining, Austin’s offense scored again to finish the game with a 12-6 victory. ‘‘Austin Wins 8th Straight’. Pregame reports had touted Cathedral as one of the tougher opponents of the season. These proved correct as Austin narrowly eeked out a 14-8 victory. After spotting the visitors 8 points early in the game, the Austin team received new life and climaxed a third quarter drive with the winning touchdown. ‘‘Austin Needs One More’. This echoed the spirit of the team as they approached their last game of the season. For most of the seniors this game would signal the end of a brief career, for the school it ended its envolvement in the Catholic Central League.

“Austin Remains Undefeated’, “‘Austin Prep Still Undefeated’’. Almost as an echo, these headlines reappeared now marking the ninth and final victory of ‘‘The Green Machine’’. The score of 26-0 provided a fitting climax for a season which had been so greatly deserved. This team was not a collection of stars, but a viable unit which showed amazing poise in many tight situations. Most notably however was the senior contingent, for this was their last year as it was Austin’s last year in the Catholic Central League. Austin not only won the league title but also the state Divisional Ill title. A truly fitting way to leave their old rivalries and to accept the challenges of the new.

This year’s Junior Varsity completed their season with a record of 4-2-2. Aften an initial victory over a tough Lawrence Regional team, the J.V.’s proceeded to lose their next three encounters. The season was Climaxed by winning the last four of their five games. The efficiency of the team was severely hampered by the unavailability of some of the players. All in all it was a fine season, well earned by a fine team.

Dedication of the 1973 Omega

William Joseph Hickey, Junior [Member of the class of 1973] 1291 Shawsheen Street

Tewksbury, Massachusetts

Born: January 13, 1955

Died: January 28, 1971

The Staff and moderator of the 1973 Omega, in an unusual move, wish to end the book with a very special remembrance of our classmate and friend, William Joseph Hickey, who died in the second semester of his sophomore year. Bill was a friend of all of us in the class, the bright lights, the athletes, the popular operators, and above all, the faculty who had the opportunity to have him in their classes. Bill was an average student who used the talents God gave him to the best of his ability. He made friends among us very easily, and we were all saddened and shocked by his passing.

In his memory, the school awards in the spring the William J. Hickey Junior Memorial Good Sportsmanship Award to the member of the Senior class who most exemplifies the spirit and attitude which Bill brought to Austin Prep. It is with Pride and Remembrance of a fine outstanding young man that the 1973 Omega is respectfully dedicated to William J. Hickey, Jr, Classs ofp to7ae Austin Prep.
