It is due primarily to the energy with which he has devoted himself to his task that Ford ham is today the largest Catholic University in America. Under his guidance the new Library was built, Loyola Flail, Science Hall, the Physics Building were completed. The Chapel of Our Lady was reconstructed. And in building the modern university, he has yet continued to keep alive the tradition and spirit of the past.

But now. with the reality upon us, the sound of hurrying ceases as we pause in reflection. The cynical among us no longer smile and leign indifference, the sentimental no longer scoff in affectation. Keen the indifferent admit that graduation will bring the severance of a bond, the value of which they may have only come to know. For it is a bond as subtle as the pattern our various paths have traced about the campus. It is fragile for, although it has drawn us together as the years passed, this June will find it a broken thing. As other classes have done, we will realize, only when it is gone, that this tie existed. In the bits that cling to us as memories we will discover an indefinable quality a something that prompted the casual nod. and then the smile. It is not friendship, for that is strong and should last. It is not good-fellowship, lor that is commonplace and fleeting. But it is that without which both friendship and comradeship would have been impossible, association contact with one another in the ordinary things of university life. We have stretched forth our hands toward the same proximate goal, and our fingers have touched. We have passed from class to activity, or from class to class, each with his own intent; vet all by a common path. Some of us have gone quietly, others not so quietly. Some have sought self-expression through the various media available at Ford-ham, and have distinguished themselves before the class and before the entire college. Others have been content to glimmer in the orbit of intimates in which they gravitate. But types, though inevitable, are valuable, for it is by their interplay that class history is made. And, aside from the wealth of material for character study, the class of 1950 has veneered the past four years with the results of that interaction. In retrospect they are interesting. Of course, impressions such as the team-trailing trips into New England, or the morning dash and scramble for taxicabs, or a certain pair of discolored eyes, will ever be vivid. But among the memories of a deeper tone we find the levity at the Freshman Banquet, the rumble of conversation and above it the sharp notes of wit at the smokers, and the laughter and shadows intertwined with the music at the Brooklyn-Long Island Club Dance. The echoes may be traced from our first year at Fordham. We might fittingly term our first year at Fordham, a period of adjustment. fhe class was busy with planing down its visions of college life to the level of reality. Assuredly, this surgical process was delayed somewhat, by the glamor of the caps and ties. Our secret delight in wearing white socks and in walking the gutters was equaled only by our unblushing delight in dragging the Sophomore class over the mark in the tug-of-war. And in the exuberance of our spirits we readily and favorably misinterpreted the noticeable aloofness of the Sophomores, only to find by practical experience a year later, that the literal translation would have lieen, if not actual timidity, at least disinterest. What might then have seemed a disappointment, came in the interclass contests. But our defeat in boxing, track and basketball, we were anxious to • 55 Y consider more or less as a matter of form. The Sophomores were compelled to salvage some of their dignity. However, we did win the class rush and the swimming meet. It was. perhaps, this latter success which influenced a group composed of Hughes, Lvttle, McGrath, McKcrnan, Plunkett and Weed, to compete lor places on the swimming team, which has since l een so consistent in victory. A progressive spirit was also manifested in the institution ol a golf-team hy Higgins. Kenny. Mara ami Mcrola. From such beginnings might arise the suspicion that the class was predisposed to athletics a suspicion which the past three years have proved unbased. Little time had passed before some succumbed to the temptation and the advantages of self-expression in the cultural subjects. The Freshman Forum seems to have been the most popular of the extra curricular activities. Through the sunlight and dust ol its sessions could be seen many familiar faces. The results of a year of progress were convincingly displayed in the prize debate, in which Howard. Lee, Seitz, and Dohn, King, Quinn took part. In connection with the successful presentation ol Clyde Fitch’s “Beau Brummel. the names of Hollenbach. Missack. O’Neill. Seitz, and Waters were noted. Thus the ranks of the Mimes and .Hummers were strengthened. J. V. Walsh’s personality was beginning to seep into the pages of the Monthly. while Lynch. Carroll and I vers chased about the campus in search of an elusive thing, news, for the Ham. Meanwhile, the class had organized, and designated its choice lor the honorary positions. Waters became president. Hughes vice-president, Ilickev secretary, and Mara treasurer. Under their guidance, a smoker tor our superiors, in years, the Sophomores, was arranged, and inspiringlv completed. Another event worthy of note was the coming of the February class, which the Ram chose to style ''like a thief in the night. Unostentatiously this group innoculated itsclt with the Fordham spirit, and went about in its progressive way until September, when it added considerable, not alone hi numbers, to the class. The seeds that were sown during the Freshman year must have blossomed during the heat ol summer, for the class returned as Sophomores, Idled with vigor. Perhaps it was at the prospect of receiving the Freshmen, which Bill Collins and his Vigilantes attended to very efficiently. At any rate, a new spirit was noticeable, that persisted throughout the year. Cornelius C. Weed was elected to the presidency. His fellow office-holders were Roger T. Scully, Joseph S. Brown and Howard A. Seitz. A greater number found time lor extra-curricular activities. The results were, of course, promising. Neilan and Anglim represented the class on the cage squad; Calnan. Collins, Denzer, and Mancini on the track; Kraft, LaDornc and Neilan in baseball. The number on the Ram staff now included Calnan, Carroll, Harold Connolly. Hollenbach. Howard. Ivors. Kern, William F. Lynch, W. (). McCuc, Missack. Ft 1 ward Reilly, and Seitz. Francis X. Connolly, J. V. Walsh and William R. White were among the regular contributors to the lordham Monthly. The interest of the Sophomores in the theatric was evident when I vers, Kern and Seitz appeared at the Boston College game with Ramoses I in tow, thus •i 56 V reminding one of three Volga boatmen. The idea was well received. and it is to be regretted that Rameses mistook the railroad tracks for a pasture. However. bis experience protiled him a mounting in the Ram office. Sic lran.nl gloria mundi. Interest in the dramatic was none the less evident when '‘Richelieu'’ was presented. Several of our number put forth their l est efforts, and acquired poise in the unwieldly buskins. Wrc all remember John P. King as de Mauprat. the chevalier of the ancien regime’, Frank Kenny as the Bastilc Governor; Albert T. Kirschner as Huguet; Bernard McKernan as Francois. Gaston, the 1 hike of Orleans, was played by Andrew Quinn, and the role ol Sieur de Beringhen, the Man filled with a sublime pate,'' was capably filled by the inimitable Philip Hollenbach. But the class was not content with these wreaths. Soon after Richelieu was offered, the genial Bernard Lane bestirred himself. He directed his attention to the one-act play, and presented in the Varsity Contest, the second prize winner, “A lust Man.” Philip Hollenbach was awarded second prize for his splendid acting. Meanwhile, interest in other fields of endeavor was developing. The swimming team continued in its success. Baker, Nullmever, ami Schaeffer, captained by Dan Kern were true to the aims of the R. 0. T. C. rifle team. All of which strengthened the evidence that the Sophomore class was. indeed, representative. Its fame resounded in the baritone of Philip Hollenbach, later to become the soloist of the Glee Club, and Howard Sietz. I he activity ol the latter included, also, a position on the Board of Directors of the Glee Club. Examinations came and the examinations passed, as per annoying custom, and we parted with the classics. Of course, a few prolonged the acquaintance until September, thus making the farewell the more sincere. But we soon settled down to that piece de resistance, philosophy. The subject was well received in spite of the intellectual demands of individual concentration. Even when this novelty wore off, it continued in favor. Something substantial had finally been found; the seriousness of life began to extricate itself from the commonplace. Association had now developed into friendship, as the classicists were evolving into philosophers. Perhaps it was the dignified, and yet comfortable feeling of this which aided ambition. The ability and untiring energy of Howard A. Seitz was recognized when he was elected to the presidency. Frank Carroll, Herbert Neilan and Roger Scullv received the other offices. Among the debaters, William White, Andrew Quinn and William McAuliffe were especially active, anti distinguished themselves in several public appearances. In the J lines and .Hummers Bernard Lane had attained the position of Stage Manager, and president of the Stage Crew, the strong arm squad” behind scenes. Mr. Lane was also the second prize winner in the Varsity One-Act Play Contest, as the author of Ave alque Vale.” In this same contest, William White received second award for his acting. Into the realm of journalism the class sent many talented members. On the editorial staff of the Ram were Harold Connolly. Philip Hollenbach and Richard Calnan. who have been responsible for many of the creditable issues. As News Editors •4 57 V we find James Ivors. Daniel Kern, anti V. O. McCue. And while these sought for material in the debating halls anti corridors, William F. Lynch went about in his dissecting ways, busy with Ins commentaries on things of sport. The Fordham Monthly harvested several new writers during Junior. heir individuality, added to that of the staff, was artfully expressed in verse, short-storv and critical essay. With Frank Connolly as editor, the senior year has been fruitful, and much has been contributed to the literary beauty of the publication by Thomas Cahalan, Harold Connolly. Paul J. Haas, William F. Lynch. William H. Mooney. George Swift, and William R. White. I homas Cahalan has crystallized his wit into a series of delighting Antidotes, liesides his essays and poet rv. And so, during the last phase of college life, many more were to enjoy the fruits of labor. Howard A. Seitz, who was instrumental in the institution of the Student Council, had been again chosen class president; his associates, Joseph A. Doran. Herbert Neilan, John Reid, and William R. White as the other class officers. It was through their enterprise that the memorable smoker was given to our undefeated foot-ball team. In the A limes and Alunwters distinction came to several. Bernard J. Lane, in addition to directing the Stage Crew, filled the office of president. Joseph A. Doran, also intensive in the Council of Debate, and whose zeal in the Sodality was rewarded with the Prelecture, was the vice-president of the Dramatic Society. Claude Sell wob, the electrician of the Stage Crew, and playwright, was secretary, while the Board of Directors consisted of John King and William O Neill, both known for their activity in the One-Act Plays: the latter especially, as business manager of the society. Among the actors there is Robert Welch, illiam R. White. James P. Casey, John P. King, Daniel J. Murphy, and. of course. Philip Hollcnbach. who gave such an exceptional interpretation of Shy lock, in the varsity presentation of The Merchant of enice.’ In the (dee C tub, our baritone soloist, Philip Hollenbach, was chairman of the Board of Directors. Ills assistants during a most successful season were Joseph A. Doran and James Lawless and Charles Missack as fellow Directors. The Ham, too, received a proportionate amount ol attention. Its large anti capable staff was guided bv Harold Connolly and Richard Calnan. Howard Seitz guarded the financial resources, anti William F. Lynch guarded the statistics of the sport world, and the favors of its devotees. His gossip, and accounts have been consistently clever and, what might seem paradoxical, substantial. The editorial staff of the Ram was composed of four of our number. James I vers, Philip Hollenbach, Daniel Kern and Joseph Howard. I he circulation of the interesting little paper was provided for by Charles Missack and Martin Lerhinan. And, while Paul McGlone reported, Robert Welch thumbed his indices as Reference Kditor, in his contribution to the task of publication. In another part of the campus, the Council of Debate conducted its stormy sessions. Much has been accomplished by this organization, and much profit has been gained by the members. The president, Daniel J. Murphy, an outstanding figure in all activities, ami his equally efficient vice-president, Henry 4 • Kennedy have provided lor an evenllul year. William McAulilVe, secretary, Philip I'isenmenger, treasurer, Eugene Kelly, historian, and William White, censor, have displayed their talent hoth in the Council, and in public .appearances. To these names must Ik.- added those of W illiam O'Neill, Thomas Sheridan. Andrew Quinn, and Joseph A. Doran. In close connection with this may be mentioned the oratorical ability of James P. Casey, with which he has gained not only our esteem, on the campus, but also more substantial rewards elsewhere. But such an array of activities did not frustrate our enjoyment of the most valuable activity, scholastics. I he two subjects for which the entire course had been but an entree, were found extremely palatable, and have been assimilated well. We all know how fortunate we have been in having Father Murphy professor of psychology, ami Father Cox professor ol ethics. Under their direction we have approached the Sphinx ol life, and heard her riddling. But we have torn the mask of silence from her, and she has confided in us. To some she has told much, to others less. At least, we have heard. I here is much to be done. No. the class did not lose interest in the sports, altogether. There have been many interclass games in which many have participated. There have been several Varsity Teams on which several have excelled. John Cannella has wedged his giant proportions into the heat l gridiron battle. His opponents have, no doubt, profiled bv experience. Although he is the only representative of the class on Fordham’s most famous foot-ball team, his exceptionally clever work at tackle more than suffices. John Lvttle, a veteran of the tank, has captained a champion team. Vic Brady, captain of the tennis team. Thomas Cahalan, and Howard Seitz have matched their skill with many worthy opponents. John Collins has let! the cross-country team through a rigorous season. And in basket-ball we might best evaluate Cap. Morgan Anglim s playing by saving that he is as necessary for a successful evening’s work as John Cannella is to the forward wall of the Battering Rams.” While these men have l een actively participating, another group has gone about quietly in the business oi managing. Through their efforts the various contests have been arranged, and, to their credit, successfully staged. With the mention of Frank Carroll as president of the Athletic Association, John King as vice-president, Thomas Sheridan as secretary, and Val Meehan as the manager of an undefeated foot-ball team, we close the account. And thus the history tapers into the present. The class has passed from cap and tic to cap and gown. We bow precedence to the Hood ol reminiscences, and personal reflections, for they are the color, the life of what otherwise would be an exceedingly unimpressive sketch. Let it only be said that a wave has run its course upon the shore, and then, sweeping myriad grains of sand with it slips away as another succeeds. The Class of 1950 takes leave of Ford ham, trusting that it has reached the high-water mark, and aware that the sands it is bearing away will be known only by the scratches on the smooth tablets ol time. 4 59 Y FRANCIS A. AG REST, B.S. Brooklyn College Prep. Sodality . 4 Dark haired and debonair, with the light of sophistication In his eyes, and a somewhat regal air to his carriage. Frank has been our friend for many years. There is a quiet competency m Ins soft words, a cool evaluation in Ins slow, smiling appraisal; and wisdom is there, too, behind that unobtrusive manner. His haunt was the chemistry “lab,” for Frank likes chemistry. Majoring in the sciences, lighting the Japanese beetle in Brooklyn, and having philosophical chats with Scuccimara, who incidentally commutes from Peekskill, has rounded out Frank a good scholar. A student, lie knew the value of diversion and it is as a social being that we like to remember Frank: a generous and understanding Iriend. { 4 DANIEL I.

In Dan, we find the strange combination of a serious student with a keen sense of humor and an unbounded hilarity and good-fellowship. A perfect combination perfectly ordered. What he does, he does whole-heartedly. Not alone for the light-hearted atmosphere he bears with him but for his unselfish friendship, which he manifests more strongly with each succeeding year, Dan is recommended to our hearts. Mere is a witty man, if ever there was one. and be it study, game or debate, what he may lack in facility Dan more than makes up in enthusiasm. Dan would not deny anyone anything —witness the lack of jewelry about his person. We hope that life will show him the same generosity. i 41 • - JOSEPH C. ANDRIOLA, B.S.

Perhaps it lias been your good fortune to meet people who mask an exceedingly good nature and a determination that knows no obstacles beneath a quiet, lathomless exterior. This is the character you must try to imagine it you wish to gam an intimate glimpse ot the Andy we have known. Commuting from the inner recesses of Greenwich Village, Joe came every morning to lighten the burden and monotony ot study with his ready smile and his well-chosen criticisms. A well founded rumor pervades the campus that Foe is on the road to Med” school. It is with sincere regret that we say goodbye to Andy” but we feel confident in predicting that in the practice of his chosen profession we can see nothing but success, richly deserved, crowning his efforts. 4 42 k FRANCIS MORGAN AXGLIM, A.B. Xavier Iliuli School Chairman, Freshman Banquet; Football 1, 2; Interclass Baseball 5; Basketball 1,2,5, 4; Captain 4. I he brilliantly lighted gymnasium—the roar of the crowd —the glistening floor of the basketball court—the tense moment before the ball is tossed into the air—the swish ot the net—all these must be taken into account in considering Morgan; these were part of his college background, part ot the game he loved, part of the sport he captained at Ford ham. Morgan was always a leader, always the blonde knight of the court, always the sportsman. May he ever be thus! But there are things more lovable than the quality of leadership a sense of humor—a penetrating smile a keen and ready sympathy. These make Morgan more the man than his basketball prowess, more the companion whose respect and friendship we have known and hope to possess. • • 43 LEO J. BACH MANN, A.B. Xavier High School Sodality I, 2; .Mendel Club . Leo emptied the flagon of knowledge with the gusto of his Viking ancestors. Tall and lilonde, rugged, with a stimulating twinkle in the eye and a sophisticated smile about the lips. Leo evaluated his fellows. Terse in conversation. he was often stabbingly brilliant in his philosophical objections. A determined student, he spent most ot his time in the chemistry lab: a good listener, he was the most assiduous .Mendelian. Who forgets his lecture on the Ph ysiologv of 1 obacco?” It is not as a student vve admire Leo: it is as a man. There is a tremendous strength about him, the strong air of masculinity. a quiet yet powerful intellectual force that must eventually attain its object. Leo was intimate only with a few; but this group knew and admired him. and were repaid with his friendship. i 44 • FRANCIS G. BACK MAN, A.B.

When that instinctive attraction to Frank ripened into friendship, we perceived what was before seen but dimly. A philosophical acceptance of things good or bad and a humor which defies the presence of examinations, dark days or what have you? This coupled with an ever ready laugh has given us the habit of turning to Frank whenever our knowledge is small or our outlook depressed. His feudal tennis combats with Bill Frawley on the college courts gathered clamoring crowds to the club-house verandah. On the basketball court as well, Frank was a tower of aggressive strength. In the social work! too, his graces were quite apparent and the dance, the boat-ride, the concert knew Frank as an old stand-by—one who got along famously. So be it in all things anti forever, Frank. ■i 45 LAURENCE J. BELL, B.S. Shenandoah High School Sodaltti I. 2. � . 4; Mendel Club 1: Penn Club 1. 2. , 4; Glee Club 1.

Rather a silent partner hi class and religiously staying two days behind in his work yet Larry never has any difficulty passing his exams. He is a success in the social work! also.

There is something about Dan that marks him as the cosmopolitan—that soft voice—that stock of experiences —books never gave him all these. The air of conservatism befits him. His pleasant, easy-going wavs have won tor Dan many friends. These traits have, with the addenda of the searching for facts and application of these, marked his career at Fordham. His activities characterize him as a dilettante. Athletics, clubs and dramatics have completely filled his time. History with its interesting facts has been his delight. His mannerisms will never be forgotten, and will always be classed with blandness, a quality always to be achieved. -4 47 STANLEY JOSEPH BERMAN, A.B. Xavier High School baseball 1,2, , 4; Sodality , 2, . 4 A wise man is lie who knows the proper time for work and play. Stan will allow no obstacle to stand in his path of learning as many of us have often been aware. Recreation. too. is essential to a well balanced existence and we recall how Stan balanced his life at those many affairs. Fordham’s outings for instance. Serious minded yet capable of bringing a smile to the lips of his companions with droll humor, he was always good company and welcomed to every discussion, philosophical or otherwise. We shall not soon forget him in his characteristic poses.

As early as in Freshman year Frank's” aptitude in solving the most difficult problems in math then distinguished him.

To the best of our knowledge “Vic” lias never been known to have had a disagreement with any of his classmates and the reason is evident. One look at his smiling face was sure to strike a chord of friendship in even the most hardened of hearts. “Vic” generously enriched the harmony ol the Glee Club with his pleasing voice and was also a shining light on the tennis courts as many a friendly enemy found out, when “Vic” by a sudden display of dazzling strokes would turn certain defeat into ultimate victory. i 50 y DANIEL |.

In baseball Dan was a most proficient corrector of ,the umpire’s mistakes while in football his steady “C’mon team.” was productive ot many a formal march. In Freshman Dan was quiet and sober, a perfectly model “Frosh,” even a Sophomore’s loftier station was not sufficient to cause him to forsake Ins sobriety.

W hether or not Johnny ever found what caused some of those results we’ve never been able to determine—we know Johnny had a couple of enforced periods when his consideration of Chemistry was confined to text-books.

This may be all the more surprising for few can equal him in knowledge and might of intellect. Who has ever listened to his words at any time and failed to appreciate their worth or departed unenlightened? 11 is labors to achieve scholastic fame have not been in vain.

Perhaps you have wondered how that stalwart tackle always managed to get down under the kicks and pin the receiver to earth before he could get started? But you must not assume that his ability was restricted simply to the gridiron.

No matter what the situation might be. we have never failed to see Jimmy” with his nonchalant attitude carry the day. whether it be squirming out of a tight place in philosophy, translating a fiery portion of Demosthenes, and indeed, we think, it was often at sight, or devoting himself to the dancing art. During the baseball season Jim” will be sorely missed, because as a Junior manager he was the favorite of a(! who knew him.

He displayed qualities that have gained for him the respect, and admiration of both his fellow students and his teachers. A man. gifted with a pleasing personality, the ability to indulge in a good ioUe and a partaker of life’s Jollity, yet balanced bv a serious manner and sincere attitude, he could not avoid being distinguished. Hearty in support of all progressive movements during our campus life, he was content to do things for their own worth rather than for the glory he might attain for himself. These traits so fortunately possessed by Leo promise to make his life career as great a success as his college life. Such a man cannot be denied. The profession of Law has called him. The best wishes of his classmates for his future go to I eo. We are grateful for having known him. ■i 83 b WILLIAM SILAS COOK, A.B.

We have long since concluded that Toni’s greatness as regards intellect and character has heen achieved. It merely wants continued application. All that is needed is that the ocean ol popular approval sweep him on the crest of its wave into those positions men hold, who are called great. Even now the waters are gathering. That tender appreciation of the finer things, so seldom found in men. that admirable loyalty, that fiery spirit are pushing Tom, who all the while modestly declaims, forward. Anv discerning observer would recognize the mighty courage that was felt on the football field, in numerous activities; the determination which jerked up the heads of indifferent listeners as he propounded a doctrine in class. Tom has shown another example of courage and determination as he forsook those activities of school life we all hold clear, to wend his way each afternoon to Law School. The best of luck.

In his choice of friends he preferred quality to quantity, but those who enjoyed his association knew him for a man whose genius was matched only by his modesty. Being a man of fixed purpose, “Marly” cared nothing for the frivolous things of college life but gave his untiring efforts to his cultural pursuits.

A smile is a natural part of his countenance, and his indefatigable sense of humor brightened and made joyful the oft times dreary flays. Should we wonder then that, although reserved and unassuming. his whole-hearted generous personality together with his aptitude to do the right thing keeps him in constant demand in the social whirl. Walter possessed that rare quality of capability of adjusting himself to any circumstance. and the ease and non-chalance with which he enters in everything is truly enviable.

But Bill’s personality and gentlemanly manner radiated beyond the confines of the A. A. office. lust to meet him on the campus is an invite to conversation with him, which is hard to resist. In the classroom, however, this quiet and unassuming man never would betoken carelessness and listlessness; too well are we acquainted with his scholarly discourses and refutations to think thus of him.

Never did the immensity of a dillicultv cause Jack to falter, nor cause to diminish in the slightest degree his quiet determination. I’his reserve never became stolid. He possessed just that balance of reserve and fluent speech that goes to make a man interesting. He refused to parade his knowledge before a gathering, but when drawn into argument he was generally found on the right side. A winning smile, a succinct phrase, a pondered question would often be more eloquently expressed than a speech from the lips of another. Jack did not open his heart to everyone. He knew the value of friendship, and was unwilling to share it with those who would not understand. Those fortunate enough to win his friendship find themselves in possession of something real, something lasting, of a bond that will endure long years after lighter ties are broken. 4 9i y ELMER MURTHA CUNNINGHAM, A.B.

W hen we first met Elmer we were struck Ivy his seemingly sophisticated air. He had that professional way of adjusting Ins glasses, and fixing one with a scholarly, yet worldly gaze. When, however, we learned that he had selected Law” as an elective we thought him quite naive. Now when he appears each morning fresh and ready for his heavy day, he forces us to the conclusion that whether he he sophisticated or naive, his predominating characteristic is a calm determination to accomplish that which he sets out to do. It was indeed an admirable undertaking and congratulations are in order on its accomplishment.

It might seem paradoxical to say that lack's particular standpoint is his universal diversity, but so it is. His range of activities manifests a keen, systematic conduct in a science laboratory, which is counterbalanced by most romantic interests in the musical field, having been one of our gifted tenors in the Glee Club for the last lour years. Needless to say. a man of Jack’s many talents was always in demand for social iunctions. But m spite ol Ins many accomplishments he managed to retain his original hat-size.

When such a smile turns into a hearty deep-throated chuckle, it betokens a fine bubbling good humor. One cannot help liking a man like that, because invariably deeper qualities are manifested by the laugh. Dal has them; a professor used to say, lie’s only a little fellow but ” Maybe the physique is small, but in every other way, well----. Just watch the way he defends a principle. Observe how he goes to extreme trouble to aid a friend. Frank doesn’t find it necessary to ask, he senses where sympathy will be appreciated. When on that day in June, the whispering elms see Frank walk out and away from the campus lie loved, there will be heard the stirrings of a sorrowful parting.

Elwood has been with us for four years of college life, and now that the parting-time has arrived we hope that others will come to know him as well as we. Ins companions, know him. He is unique in the fact that he combines a retiring attitude with a generous dash of geniality and wit. To none more than he does the adage, Still waters run deep.’ apply, for beneath the exterior man lies a wealth of ability and achievement that will most certainly lead to success. 1 he one belying characteristic of his disposition is an unquenchable fondness for flaming neckgear. But such a harmless outlet of excess “steam” will never choke the talents which he will take into the business world, where they will find their best outlet and greatest appreciation. -4 % JOSEPH C. DALY, A.B. Regis High School Sodality ; Harvester Club 1. Should anyone ask t:s to enumerate briefly Joe's” preeminent characteristics, we would immediately reply, his silence, the sterling quality of his friendship, and his studious inclinations. To those who do not know him he presents a silence that is battling. To those intimately acquainted with him that silence is merely a cloak covering a most likeable personality. By pulling aside that cloak one is enabled to behold an adept verbal fencer, the possessor of a ready wit, and a heart whose bounty knows no bounds. Anyone having entered into a philosophical disputation with him is more than willing to admit his prowess in the facile art of parrying words. Add to this the quality a friendship which borders on nobility and you have a man who is in no way commonplace. “Joe.” if you persist in that determination to see through what you have started, then Fate is going to have a more difficult task in stopping you than she had ever Contemplated. i 97 EDWARD A.

From tins description alone we could recognize Frank, but we want to say more. Four of our happiest years have been colored with the good-natured, quiet, unassuming disposition that was characteristic of him. Always eager to lend a helping hand to a fellow-classmate his kindness and thoughtfulness have won for him a host of friends. As an athlete Frank won the coveted “F,” while a sophomore, by living over the splintered boards and cinders. Wherever Ford ham was represented, Frank was always present, supporting or rooting for the teams. li the days Frank spent at Ford ham are any norm of what we are to expect of him. then we argue that great achievements and success wait for him in his calling to the field of medicine. ■( 100 Y FRANK E.

He has displayed an industriousness which never failed to attain its end. 11 is constant question is not, “What must I do?” but. “Can't I do something more?” If something worth while is achieved without ostentation and display we leel quite sure that Frank has had a hand in it: yet never was he reluctant to lend a helping hand when it was song ht. A better and more loyal friend would be difficult to find. As an instructor in biology, Frank achieved that rarity,—-a clever teacher and a popular one. We’re looking forward to the day when Frank will take his place among the great lecturers in biology -a niche which his keen ability will carve out for him in humanity's hall of fame. i ioi y xs BENIAMIN F.

None in his class can remember seeing “Ben otherwise. Perhaps he has acquired this coolness from his study of the manly art of boxing. But he is more than a mere student of the art; he is a capable exponent, as anyone who has been the recipient of one of his famous right-crosses can tell.

Moreover, he is generally known for his subtle humor, which puts spice to his well-seasoned conversation. Capable in any athletic game, his principal torte was basketball in which he highly excelled in class competition.

There is depth in Nick and if fathomed would reveal something fine, something uncommon, something for which his friends cannot nor will not forget him his constancy in friendship.

Nevertheless, when the time for carefree tun comes. Tommy is foremost in the ranks of the revelers.

Bob is from the “City of Churches” and so finds the necessity of the “Taxi-Sweepstakes” along Fordham Road every morning. But beyond that time, haste is foreign to him.

Frank has never been known to refuse a debate, and it is well known that he stands ready to defend his views at all times. Frank will take up the duties of a teacher upon leaving Fordham. In this held, we feel sure that his unquestioned scholarship, anil his ability to set forth his views, will carry him to that success which every one predicts for him. ■{ 116 i- THOMAS PHILIP FARLEY, A.B.

When Tom approaches a classmate in his frank, cheerful wav, it is impossible to brush his acquaintance aside; no. it cannot be done. We doubt that anyone has ever attempted to dislike Tom, but we know that no one ever accomplished his end in that regard, for Tom’s a liable personality, one of frankness and humor, backed by a sincere but conquering heart and a qui vive” attitude, melts its own path before it. Tom is primarily a man— typical of the bold, dashing knight whose whims must Ik. satisfied whose brusque, open manner and ready hand sweeps all before it. His versatile athletic ability, numbering in its makeup football, basketball, baseball, swimming and. preeminently, track, and his social conquests have won the admiration of all his fellows; just as that alertness which was so evident in the classroom, will gain the respect of his future business associates. { 117 Y- WALTER M.

Has he not time and again helped us over passages from Horace and guided us through the intricacies ot science?

Frank comes from the “Nutmeg State.” For Frank is one of our long distance commuters, having for four years commuted daily to and from Stamford. And many were the mornings we have seen him hurrying up the path just in time for class, because some rural animal had stopped the train. I'rank is among the elite of the student world at Ford ham, for he has never been known to have had a condition. He possesses a quiet, analytical type of mind which naturally fits him for the sciences. Because of his commuting and the press of Ins studies, Frank's extra-curricula activities were very limited. It is characteristic of Frank that he was more concerned with the quality of lus work than its quantity. From appearances it would seem that in time we will find Frank connected with some chemical concern; hut whatever his choice we wish him the best of luck. - • 121 y GEORGE ROWELL FIXSTEK. A.B.

Even among those friends with whom we are most intimate, characters, motives, and emotions are unfathomable things. Hence it is dillicult to do complete justice in a few short lines to the various subtleties of an individual mind. How much more aptl this applies in the case ol George, who sits smiling as though he knew a secret that he would not tell! Here, behold a lad who does not show himself entirely to the world, whose reserve is easy and not awkward. And yet, strange paradox, he is far from distant. Congenial and witty, he frequently dabbles brilliantly in conversation. tempering his quips with a warmth ol understanding. Withal George is a debonair chap . . . subtle in mental processes, keen and sensitive; truly a bright spirit who holds up before him a polished mask curved laintly in an everlasting unsuspected smile! ( 122 y JOSEPH MICHAEL FITZPATRICK, A.B. Regis High School Sodality 1. 2: Freshman Forum. Let us present Fitz, a man who can smile while the whole world frowns. Four years have witnessed the repeated assaults that the formidable cohorts of rhetoricians, philosophers, anti psychologists have made on the ramparts of his humor. Their success may be found solely in the development of Joe's fascinating laugh. Not that he is one to bring himself to the fore; rather he takes every hurdle in stride. It was not in quest of fame in the chemical world that Fitz proposed his Ironic Theory. It was rather that others might laugh with him. But the glorious gift oi looking at the world through rose-coloured glasses is only one of Joe’s many qualifications. The uncanny ability of viewing things at their real value and the greatest facility in making friends characterize Fitz. His success betokens his merit. Of him we may say quietly he came, calmly he saw, and with a laugh he conquered. Laugh on, Joe! and thanks for the laughs we have had with you. A 123 i AUGUSTINE J. FOGARTY, A.B. Brooklyn Prep.

John was an enthusiastic follower of all Fordham events—whether social, athletic, or intellectual. We have often envied him the knack of getting acquainted with every person at a social event in a short period of time, so that each and every one would know him by his nickname. No professor could ever stop John. He would bravely stand and present his views on any question. Many a time have we been rudely awakened on cold wintry mornings by the stentorian cry of, Kevings, come to Mass.” for. von see, Kevin enjoys the reputation of being the soundest and longest sleeper in St. John's Hall.

In Bill we find one of the quietest, most unassuming members ol the class. Because ol this trail, it took us some time to become really well acquainted with him but the slight trouble was certainly well repaid. Whether we think of him as a leader in his classes, Presi-dentot the Connecticut Club, custodian ol the tennis courts, or the Beau Brummel whose social conquests in four years were truly amazing both in scope and numbers. Bill is our conception of the ideal Ford ham man and one whom we hope to emulate in our later life. Always cheerful both in word and smile, always ready for any fun. and always helpful when help of any kind was needed, it is easy to visualize Bill as being near the head of any work, which he should elect. { 126 Y ARTHUR CHRISTOPHER FURGIUELE, A.B.

How couhl il be otherwise? Loyalty might well have been his middle name, so well did he exemplify il in his relations with Fordham. Artie was a good student but by no means a “bookworm.” He was, we might say, typically collegiate. Well dressed and gentlemanly, he was a familiar sight at all Fordham activities both athletic and social. Not being athletically inclined and gifted with an even tenor voice Artie turned his endeavors toward the realm t song. His characteristic loyalty to Fordham was again evinced by the unselfish and wholehearted manner in which he served the Glee Club. If bv such indications of character we may forecast the future, then we know that Artie will be a credit to Ford-ham, no matter what his calling. { 127 WAITER H. GALES, A.B.

A light huoyant step, a cheerful, expectant smile, a personality brimming with good nature, and you have a picture of Walter hut the portrayal is all too inadequate. He combines a winning friendly way with an air of nonchalance that is indeed a rare combination. To look at this debonair, youth as he goes his carefree way one feels that it is good to be alive, for Walter is poie tie vivre personilied. Those who have been admitted to the inner circle of Walter’s friendship, and they are many, know the other side ot his nature, know of what warm, sincere feelings of which he is capable and to what ends he will go to help his friends.

Since the day John came from Xavier in 2b he has always held the esteem and regard of his classmates. His wholehearted encouraging sympathy for everyone and everything vital to class activity stamped him as a true Fordhamite. John excelled in being a good fellow from his ready and pleasant hello,’’ to his sincere willingness to be of real service when one needed a friend. Nor can we say that that was all. for Jack as a spirited Fordham rooter was to be seen whenever a Fordham team played at home or abroad in our New Fngland cities. And now. after the intimate years of college friendship, we must bid farewell. We presume that in the years to come you will have added an LL.B. to your A.B.

A good man, too, on the gridiron. Ami in classes, too. just as grim and unrelenting he pursued the sciences. In the Mendel Club, this young man was an active member. In the circle of men, with their pipes going and their knowledge of men and affairs being revealed, John was an interested contributor.

It is seldom one finds a young man so admirably equipped for Ins vocation. Still less frequently does one find a college graduate with so sober an estimation of Ins own abilities, and so keen an appreciation of the qualities of others. A glance and one is convinced of his natural aptitude for medicine. Keen eye, firm month and strongly settled jaw bespeak the calm and analytical mind so necessary to a man of this profession. Mis ability to concentrate and his capacity for calm thought at all times, his fine physique bear further witness to Brian’s eventual eminence in the surgical and medical world.

Ed has passed his college days as all of us wished to pass ours, and going forth he leaves no enemies and only regrets that he is going. He takes with him as varied and pleasant a collection of memories as any man we know. I le filled his days al Fordham with the works of a student; and the culture of a gentleman is his reward. His way was modest despite the very evident savoir faire’ of his courses in the science department of the university. His manner of friendship was juiet rather than exuberant. His frankness and honesty were admired bv all. There is an old adage that the world will beat a f athway to the door of the man who does one thing a little etter than his fellows. There are many things that Ed does exceptionally well;—he’d better prepare to receive the world. 133 y- r JOSEPH P. GARVEY, B.S. Evander Childs High School Freshman Football; I arsilt Football 2. We usually remember a person bv his dominant characteristics. ami so it is with Joe, as lie is better known to most o! us. From the time he entered the portals of Ford-ham up to that day of days, lie ever maintained that standing typical of the Fordham man. In a strange place and amid unfamiliar laces, he possessed the happy faculty of adapting himself to his new surroundings. Joe not only developed himscli mentally in the classroom but also showed that spirit and sacrifice on the gridiron, that are qualities ol Fordham men. As both student and athlete he played the game and exhibited those trails which won for him the respect and friendship of those who came to know him. When he passes for the last time through Fordham s gates to take a lofty place in the world, we will lose a great friend. • 134 THOMAS P. GIRARD, B.S.

One need only glance at the gentleman above to realize that an attractive incticulousness was his. 11 is manner and well defined features stamp him as a gentleman. But it is not in externals that we would judge loin. These outward things after all are but the reflection of the inner man. When we look on that character itself it is then that we realize most completely his worth. For he was clever, studious and withal modest. I hese and many other virtues he welded together to form the composite character he has most powerfully wielded among us. He conquered many of us and made us his friends, always to our own infinite benefit. It is of the nature of things to pass, but for many of us (his one thing will never lade and that is the memory and friendship Tom has left us. 155 WALTER FRANCIS GLENNON. A.B.

There is a much discussed question as to whether gentlemen prefer blondes, but we think it is safe to say that gentlemen blondes are far from unpreferred. W ally could nearly always be found at varsity activities even though they were many miles from Fordham. His social and student activities blended perfectly and neither was neglected under his sane ruling. A small but seemingly deep-rooted interest in golf has manifested itself in W’ally.

Some ot us never experience this pleasurable sensation; some of us move forever through a world of armored puppets, never able to gaze beneath the hard shell. But in George we find that unassuming frankness which we value so highly because it is so rare. It sounds so colourless to say a man is sincere, yet how rich is the word in its true meaning! George has wide interests, a vast sympathy for another's viewpoint, and a highly sensible outlook . At this, George, we can see you smile slowly, your finely chiseled features lighting. But we have known you (these things are so inexpressible upon the hard pages), and perhaps this is a greater gift than we deserve. 137 i WILLIAM ANSELM GREEIIEY, A.B. Brooklyn Prep.

His mildness, pleasing ways and attachment to school and comrades were never more evidently displayed then during Bill's career at Fordham. Here is the type of ideal student and friend. Quiet, unassuming and always ready to lend a helping hand to a friend in need he is blissfully unaware of what a wonderful pal and classmate he really makes. While Bill was known ultimately to only a favored few, the entire class will remember him for his continued faithful support and interest in class activities. We all will miss such a fellow but hope to keep Bill among our list ol ready acquaintances, and may the years of success heap high their joy on his shoulders. { 158 JOHN VINCENT GROOT, A.B.

Of late their gaze has been upon one whom they readily recognize —not as a type, new and individual but as one whose makeup seems to embody the noble traits of his many predecessors. lack’s brilliance is a casual brilliance reminiscent of the intermittent glint of a flashing rapier; his wit at once spontaneous and sparkling acts in the manner of a pebble dropped into a placid pool in expanding his circle of friendships.—Indeed the personification of jollity and mirth.

But besides this scholarly tendency there is another phase to the character of Tom he happens to be an athletic person of note. It has been said that men die as they live. If this be true then he will die in the characteristic pose of netting the basketball for another two points. Not to mention that sine qua non for a happy disposition in the more sober days in our college years, a sense of humor that is notorious for its being so contagious.

His character stands out among men of character; he is the sort of fellow we will look to for companionship in alter hie, when these college days are gone. As to his scholastic record, Joe is among the leaders. From Freshman to Senior, he has calmly taken a goodly majority of the high marks so scarce to most of us.

He happens to be one of the most accomplished, all-around a thletes in our midst, is a serious scholar, has a ready wit—that should be plenty.

He has fashioned his theme of sociability in such a way that he always “speaks with no other restraint than an unwillingness to offend and hears with no other disposition than a desire to be pleased.

It would be hard to put a linger on what constituted Phil's lorte, for, although his talent is most evident in matters thespian, he is no less an accomplished soloist and a clever journalist. From the First it was evident that in extra-curricular activities Phil was to become a leading light, and well did he attain the goal he set for himself. Having taken major roles in four varsity productions, having been Glee Club soloist for four years and having merited an editor's post on the Ram Stall, Phil leaves behind an enviable record of accomplishment.

A fine athlete, an excellent scholar, a polished gentleman, he was in reality the personification of the perfectly rounded college man. Nick was one of the men on whom Fordhan s Iron Major” pinned his faith during his first year at Rose Hill. Few indeed, were the loemen who did not stand in fear of Nick’s charge. As a gridiron warrior he has earned ranking with the best of Ford ham’s stalwart sons. His prowess was not limited to the white-lined field, however. Off the field he was quiet, even retiring, hut never was his reticence mistaken for lack of ability, for his classmates always felt that they could look to him for a well reasoned expert opinion on any matter whatever. His scholastic standing has shown a capability matched only by his modesty. 4 152 •}• JOSEPH A. HOWARD, JR., A.B.

Ed is the type of student to whom his classmates are attracted by a friendly disposition which is yet a hit reserved. Those who were fortunate enough to know him will always remember him as a good student anti an energetic worker. Though an unassuming member of the class, Ed was at the same time active in extra-curricula activities. He was a member of the championship Metropolitan Relay team that set the Fordham Pool Record and perlormed with great success in the “sprints” and dive. It is Ed that we have to thank for making possible the Senior Smoker to the undefeated football team. And so we find that, hidden under a quiet demeanor, “Eddie” has sterling qualities and characteristics that will stand him good stead when he faces the world in the profession of his choice. 154 JOHN WILLIAM HYLAND, A.B.

Never ruffled or perturbed he goes about in his characteristically quiet way but never fails to “deliver” whatever may be demanded. Johnnie played no favorites but contributed his support to all the activities of the College in a whole-hearted and serious manner which few can claim to have equalled. A gentleman to the manner born, he has given lone to various social occasions with his graceful presence. A scholar himself, he has always been willing to pause and lend a hand to some less erudite brother. Combining all the virtues of the gentleman and the scholar with a superbly tranquil good humor anil a disposition to observe the world m a roseate hue we arrive at that pleasant person whom we have hailed as “Johnnie” through all these years. i 155 y JAMES DAVID IVERS, A.B.

Jim's savoir jairc in regard to his hooks is much enhanced by the recognition in him of a keen natural intelligence that is neatly balanced with his lordly languiditv. Perhaps this latter is only superficial, for whether he he reading his inevitable “World, cracking a hook for an impending exam, or consuming a new novel, he is lodged in a cloud of concentration that belies his seeming indifference at other times. However, all Jim’s time is not given to the pursuit of scholastic culture: when you arc looking for a play to which to take your country cousin, or mayhap one for your very urbane friends, if you want to know it you must dress, and how much the cover will he, Jim’s the oracle.

Through his lour years at college he has presented a taciturn front to the world. But his taciturnity was only a most effective armor to turn aside the harder things of life. To a few select friends he revealed himself as possessing those qualities so rarely found in the same individual a business man with a proper sense of values, a sense of humour, a mathematical genius—enough. A natural intelligence which enabled him to assimilate lectures and courses with but slight effort together with a mild contempt for the more ordinary mechanics of cramming” has brought him through his college years with flying colors. The one thing to taint his character was that daily trip from the wild and distant reaches of Astoria—that should suffice to explain his kindly attitude, with its slight tinge of cynicism. But we are confident that you will travel further than Astoria yet, lake. ■i 157 vs JOHN A. JENNINGS. A.B. Brook I vn Prep. Brooklyn-Lony Island Club .

Perhaps of all the characteristics that we like in Walt, the most outstanding is his loyalty. He has always been loyal to his classmates, and to his friends and their confidences. True also is he to the standards of a gentleman, standards which have never suffered a deviation. From this admirable trait has sprung a generosity that is as big as himself. He is extremely modest about himself and at times is inclined to be a trille shy. He has gained much from his college years by earnestly thinking about the subjects which have appealed to him. His one failing is traveling—the wilds of Brooklyn, the hills of the Bronx, the low-lands of Staten Island, Boston, Worcester, all know him by sight. His geniality and winning smile coupled with his bubbling good humor have won for him an everlasting place in our affection. lbf FRANCIS P. ). KENNY, A.B.

His imperturbable calm sweeps aside consideration of petty, mundane matters and an innate intellectual ability is ever evident in Ins conversation. A warm Iriendhness and a deep regard for that Grecian mode of life called “agathos' made Johnny in our opinion a true model of the cavalier. The case with which he assimilates scholastic topics leaves him with considerable leisure for the lighter things of life. Reports from sister colleges indicate that among his other social qualifications he numbers a complete mastery ol the art of Terpsichore.

Jack stepped into the place in the Fordham infield left vacant by the passing of Johnny While—and filled it. It’s debatable whether the classics and philosophy sharpened Jack's batting eye, or whether the accuracy developed in the batter’s box enabled him to pick the holes in an opponent's argument, but the fact remains that he studied as well as he played ball, and played ball as well as he studied and his team mates took cognizance of both these capabilities in electing him captain in his Senior year. i 175 ALBERT Al.

In Bill we find that rare combination; an excellent scholar, a prince of good fellows, and an exceedingly industrious anti ambitious youth. Bill was the unofficial consultant of St. John’s Hall in all matters. To him came all and sundry with their requests and troubles. Whether it were a plea to be called at A.

But his activities and friendships were not limited to the ■Hall.” Among the faculty and student body one finds hosts of friends who knew him as custodian of the switchboard and Information Desk. His cheerful service and perfect savoir fa ire in all occasions make his name one that will linger long within the walls of our Alma Mater. Bill's graduation will leave a gap in the daily life of Fordham which will not lie filled for many a year. To predict success in his after life would be superfluous.

An amiable good nature and a wonderful spirit of friendliness are the traits most predominant in Bill. Believing that life’s greatest happiness consists in helping others, his generous deeds of cooperation brought to our minds a realization of the thought that a friend in need is a friend indeed. These estimable qualities in Bill were eclipsed only by his enthusiasm in Fordham athletic events. Few are the games which Bill has not attended and helped the team along to victory, with his lusty cheering and wholehearted support. As a member of the medical profession, we feel confident in predicting that his career will be entirely as successful as his four years of college life have been at Fordham. 193 - HOWARD JOSEPH McCABK, A.B.

Jack came to Fordham, from tlie windswept wilds of Brooklyn, bringing with him none of the coldness or wildness of his native heath, but rather a lovable, vivacious personality, the friendliest of smiles, and a warm heart, accessible to all. Many a time has his large circle of friends been delighted with his keen wit, and his humorous sallies, which, let it be here said, were never at the expense of any one else. There are few at Fordham who have made more good friends than Jack. The reason for this being easily seen in his smile, which causes people to gravitate to him in his appreciation of ami sympathy for other’s feelings, in his intellectual conversations, for John is a keen student, anti in his capacity for loyalty. The best that we can hope or wish for Fordham is that many such as he will enter her walls. -i 195 y FRANCIS JOSEPH McCUE. A.B. Fordham Prep. Sophomore I up lance Committee: Sodatili 2, . Quiet, very quiet indeed, is Francis Joseph McCue. W'e might almost say silent, thereby connoting the absence merely of verbal activity. Perhaps behind that unruffled exterior Frank is recalling his days at Fordham Prep—or time devoted to assimilating legal knowledge at Fordham Raw—or, again, he may be weaving the plot of his own future which we suspect will be as successful as it is certain to be interesting. Caesar was ambitious. So is Frank, but he isn’t spectacular. Facta non verba” must he his motto. He puls two days work into one and still finds time occasionally to perform some extra curricula activity that is necessary yet sans thanks, sans glory. On occasion his name has graced the pages of the “Monthly” as the author of a stirring story of the underworld.

If to this compound of estimable virtues, we could but add a dash of aggressiveness, a consciousness of the power that is really his. we would have a fully complete man. However. we like and admire Ed as he is. and perhaps he, better than any of us. appreciates Ins powers and acts in accordance therewith. When graduation takes its toll, the school’s societies religious and forensic—will have lost a valiant memtar; his fellow students will have parted with a noble friend.

One must present a well-nigh invincible argument to overcome him. and he is noted for self-dependence in all his work. W ith such qualities ol self-confidence and self-reliance he should go far in life. We shall remember him for his interesting conversation, keen responses, am! subtle remarks.

Biographers have a distressing hahit of allowing deeds to speak for themselves, and launching forth on informative eulogies of the characters of men. We prefer here to reverse the process and tell of Joe as one who, impresses us by modesty—knows all things and many others. It has been something inevitable to this sound, clear mind, this garnering of a treasure of knowledge, a record of brilliant scholarship. and a cupboard of medals- an annoying problem to any home, how best to store such trophies. A rangy build and sporting ways balance nicely such achievements. Handball playing, swimming, and basket-eering of equal merit won him his license as athletic instructor. Of the profounder side the biographer is poor in knowledge, assigning it to the most admirable trait in the world, the faculty Joe has of keeping his dreams to himself.

At first glance one is impressed bv Val” as by one who is ready to throw his heart and soul into any chosen activity. Just such has been his conduct in his efficient management of the football team. He has well been called All American Football Manager. Striving coaches and earnest players have found in him a wort In-ally. And they have shown their appreciation by the way they have honored him. His management was enough to insure the success of any undertaking. And there is that smile that is distinctive of “Chick.” It is a smile that is truly radiant and it has won him many a friend. Perhaps it beamed most brilliantly that day when Chick” became the manager of Fordham's greatest football team. That success will follow you always, Val. { 217 � JOHN ANTHONY MELLA, A.B.

But Fordham has meant more to Johnnie than books .and studies. He is ready to Join in the fun of his classmates and more than once has started the fun by himself.

Yet the finished product follows an honored tradition in a highly individual way. Ol one thing we are sure: Herb is the collegiate miles gtoriosus. Most of us have known a certain feeling that collegiate life is not quite dead, when we saw Herb striding leisurely across the campus, in his usual distinctive attire. Perhaps this is Ins greatest gift, that he restores our faith in things that had long fled by; that he scatters some bit of faint incense upon the dead fires of cynicism, ami lo! they spring once more into the healthy flames of intellectual inviolateness. 220 }• BENEDICT JOHN MI LIT AN A, A.B.

To our way of thinking Ben deserves more sincere praise lor his efforts in behalf of Ford ham than many ol those, whose names and deeds are blazoned in capital letters across the pages of achievement. It is one thing to be actively though unobtrusively—engaged in a great many extra curricular activities, and quite another to labor in the glare of the spotlight. We feel that it is this reason more than any other that attracted us to Ben his absolute unselfishness; he did things for the sheer joy of seeing them accomplished: it was this spirit that characterized his efforts in behalf ol the Council of Debate, the Mimes and Mummers, the Campion Club and all the other organizations of which lie formed a part. Ben isn’t quite certain just what field he is going to enter when he leaves Fordham, but whatever line of endeavor he chooses will be the richer by a capable and energetic all-around good fellow. i 221 y KENNETH ANTHONY MILLER, A.B.

When not treading the boards we would behold him hurrying off at eventide with winged collar and black bow tie to sing the praises of his Alma Mater to some neighboring college. It was this melodious voice with its comely countenance accompanying that caused many a young heart to palpitate with quicker beat, so they tell. It was. perhaps, in virtue of this aesthetic bent and poetic soul that possessed him with such an abundance ol ideals to be sought and ideas lor activity, lor he was never known at any time to Ik. lacking in one ol the latter. Not too much the idealist to enjoy the practical, however, any social gathering found him in its midst, glowing with the spirit ol cheer and comradcrie.

Joe is content to accept all problems as they come his way, whether it be a scholastic difficulty, a very immediate crisis or a particularly diilicull turn in a one-act play. Joe is one of the guiding geniuses of the class room, unconsciously spreading inferiority complexes among the lesser lights. Externally suave and conservative, the true ring in a merry character is revealed by more than one daring exploit before the public eye (sometimes too daring!). Better to wax enthusiastic over the medal-winner, scholar and playwright, and a few other fields of work well done.

The young man, whose poetrv and essays added depth and understanding to the pages of the college magazine, is distinguished in many ways. He has the soft speech and great hulk of the proverbial English essayists and his appreciation of books is fine indeed. Never hurried nor flustered, he contemplates rather than sees men and things. Of course, he is a leader in classes and in the sympathies of friendship a leader also. And while the pride of the Mooney clan is a poet and a scholar, he knows that there are less aesthetic pleasures and he can shoot a handball at a wall with the speed of a shot or drive his Boston-bound automobile load of '30 men with the ease of Oldfield.

Mostly we arc concerned with the proportionately few who attain either fame or notoriety— we forget, because they are seldom brought into our consciousness. that those of quiet mind anti sober balance are really the basis of the class. Marty has never let himself liecome well known very far beyond his own circle of intimate friends. But those friends know him to be a type of the perfect student and gentleman.

Many tasteful posters have borne his signature and often pleased us with sketches of professors and fellow classmates. However, it is in the Lunch Room Discussion Group that one sees the true Ed. Well-informed on every subject, controversy and criticism are incomplete without him.

That he has ably succeeded, that he has abundantly reaped the fruits 1 his labors, is needless to say. To his industry and zeal for learning, Third Ave. “L” conductors bear ample witness. We all have known him as a likeable, pleasant chap with a cheerful word for everyone—“one of the gang.” Aside from a peculiar weakness for New England, e.g., Worcester and Boston, in which parts he is well (and we hope, favorably) known as a regular visitor, his vices are none. As a climax to four years of wandering, it is rumored that Ed flew to Boston one memorable day last fall.

Not presumptuous, yet having the faculty of discussing either football or philosophy; always ready to lend his attention to every phase ot a problem.

Bill’s intimate connection with the drama, established not only at Fordham but also in more professional circles, make him the supreme arbiter in things theatrical. His judgment on current productions was sought and accepted. His theatre column in the Monthly which Bill undertook in his Senior year contained many instructive ideas which we always welcomed heartily. His continued efforts in bettering the Mimes and Mummers were in large part responsible for the excellence of many of its productions.

Energetic, ambitious and blessed with a sense of humor, Tom is destined to go far in the world anti to enjoy the going. His chosen held, medicine, has led him to excel in (lie sciences. But his standing in philosophy has not Suffered on account of his zeal in science. When not engaged in some informal philosophical discussion he is usually to be seen dispensing gems of scientific knowledge to the less hard-working souls. Tom has two main diversions, Frank Sullivan and drama. T hough never tired of reading anti retelling Sullivan s columns, yet he somehow manages to write one-act plays of no little excellence. W hat time he has left over is spent in seeing Broadway’s latest drama and analyzing it. The analysis of Tom’s life will, we are positive.

Though business pressed heavily upon him. he has distinguished his classwork with Ins impromptu responses, so that, his replies being so specious, it required extremely clever professional manipulation to silence them. Appreciable? The Horatian verve flourished in Dick to the production of odes that breathed new life into one's musings over mundane beauties. Philosophy has made Dick a clairvoyant, so that, possessed of natural dynamics of salesmanship, we expect him to distinguish himself in the selling field.

We have seldom met anyone with a happier outlook on life and its problems than Robert Gerard Parks. Orals, final examinations of any kind, never worried him in (he least. He took them in his stride and went calmly on with his duties as Manager of Baseball. With a great fund of knowledge, useful and otherwise, a genial disposition, and a brand of humour all his own, RoIkmI has aided materially in enlivening the four years through which we have known him. We cannot leave so engaging a subject as Robert without some attempt at prediction. For when we recall his receiving of the accolade of master of the personal essay in Junior English, and the baseball schedule which he arranged in his Senior year, it requires no great strain on our faculties of second sight to see Robert in his seat among the elect, whether it be politics, teaching or business. ■i 254 • D.

While Bill has particularly excelled in the musical clubs, he has. nevertheless, definitely added to the standards ot other organizations of which he has been a member.

His four years at Old Rose Hill have presented few difficulties of a scholastic nature that he did not readily overcome. Whether it was the arts or the sciences A1 always handled the matter in that masterly fashion which is characteristic of the quiet but capable man. As a fellow student Al’s popularity has never been questioned. During his first days at Fordham his pleasing unpretentious way carried an appeal that was magnetic and which attracted to him the sincere friendship of every man with whom he came in contact. Whatever walk of life A1 elects to enter upon we feel confident that the same perseverance and consistency that characterized his college days will guide him to untold success. 256 PAUL V.

During iiis four years of college life, Paul has proven to he one of the most agreeable and likeable fellows. As a result we find him the possessor of an ever-widening circle of staunch friends. Because of these friendship-making qualities, social activities had such a claim upon him that he was able to attend only one of our clubs, the Mendel Club. Perhaps his one fault was his devoted interest in the proceedings of this biological society. He would rather discuss the intricacies of the microbe world than cat and drink. With the indomitable courage and persevering attitude which he has been wont to display, we feel that the professional world of law will Ik all the more enriched bv the acquisition of Paul's signal services. ■4 257 ) EDWARD M.

For he is primarily a man of scientific leanings, possessing the clear, discerning qualities of mind which will ably prepare for his work. Ed is a key ” man who contains within himself the desired equilibrium of character which can open to his enjoyment both the social and those of business. Anyone who has the faculties for happiness and prosperity such as Ed has may look hopefully forward to the conquering of the obstacles ol hie confronting him. 258 i STANLEY CHARLES POLTRACK, A.B.

There is nothing superficial about him and everything that he undertakes receives his liest efforts. Embodied in him we find those characteristics distinguishing the true Fordham man—sincerity, affability and integrity. Having a natural propensity for business, Stan was quite at home in the Accountancy Class, often being called upon to enlighten his classmates on some phase of an intricate problem not easily solved. As an analytical mind and a proclivity for perseverance are necessary requisites for success in the business world, we feel certain in predicting that Stan's future will Ik- a bright one. 259 b JOHN KEVIN PURCELL, A.B.

But the mustache, that is a creation which the Sophomore Vigilance Committee overlooked for they really believed George to be one of the professors instead of a f reshman. George has one hobby which is quite prevalent, he loves chemistry, and we believe that his future studies will be fashioned along this line. He loves to delve into the mysteries which clothe a chemical reaction and finds great satisfaction and enjoyment in the dreary hours of laboratory work.

Their most intimate recesses seem to be bared, yet they possess a peculiar virtue which defies a knowledge of their true depth, unless gained by careful observation. Frank is surely one of these. From the lime of Freshman, Frank has graced every occasion, whether it will be social, intellectual or athletic, and in each case has manifested the same good spirit and enthusiasm which have gained him so many friends. Whatever line of endeavor he may choose to follow after he leaves Fordham, success will be his lor Frank has the facility of gaining one's trust from the start and he has the qualities to make that trust a long and abiding one. i 264 THOMAS B.

He gave vent to his managerial proclivities by persevering through four years to the directorship of the basketball team; that same perseverance brought him out highly victorious over the demons of science and philosophy.

However, it was his laugh-provoking disposition that rendered him a favorite, and desirable companion, rather than his inherent intellectual prowess.

He came to Ford ham a total st ranger. He leaves Fordham with a host of loyal friends. He was always able to make himself agreeable. He had a jest on his lips, a smile on his face. Friend-making was easy lor him and his own true character and ability held those he had made. Phil suffered a metamorphosis in Junior year. Philosophy attracted him as had no other study. Under the guidance ol Father Walsh, for whom he possesses the greatest admiration, he made remarkable strides in acquiring mastery of the subject matter. He proved himself to be an earnest, sincere student. In whatever sphere of life which you choose to adopt, Phil, the good wishes of your fellows will follow you. Wc know you will justify them. i 2 4 } CHESTER W. SCHMIDT, A.B. Xavier High School One question confronts the graduating class. It concerns Chet. What qualities are his that go to make him so likeable? Is it his manliness, his light-hearted spirit or his eagerness to help a friend? It might be his ability to adapt himself to the demands of the occasion. It might even be Ins knowledge of the braes” and brakes” ol Wood lawn. It most probably is his own fine personality and character. Chet avoids the ostentatious and the vainglorious, but he is ever willing to praise the truly meritorious. He has not idled his time at rordham. He has gained much from his course and he has cemented friendships which will mock time and adversity. i 285 h ALFRED M. SCIIRADE, B.S. Stuyvesant High School Band 1. 2. ; Orchestra 1, 2, ; Sodality I, 2, . 4; Mendel Club 2. . It is the silence that clamors, my lords, the quietude of Al. A business man by the name of Alfred M. Schrade came up the walk one day and registered at old Rose Hill. And from that day on the class of 1950 was enriched by the addition of a man who knew how to order his life so as to secure the benefits of study and the emoluments of labor at the one time. There are few who have the record of solid accomplishment that A! possesses. Studies and extra-curricular activities, and yet Al found time to be a social being, admired and liked by his classmates. If energy and intelligence are as productive of results as our masters would have us believe, the future holds much happiness for Al. { 286 CLAUDE R. SCHWOB, B.S.

The author of this maxim would have modified the universality of his statement had he been permitted to view the artistic lighting effects which enhanced the last two productions of the Mimes and Mummers, and which were conceived and executed in their entirety bv our chemist par excellence. Claude’s keenly scientific mind, which earned him the enviable position ol student instructor in the Chemistry Laboratory in his senior year, more than once saved those of us who had neither the ability nor the inclination to Juggle long and involved chemical equations. Always at the head of the class in scholarship, Claude was, nevertheless, ever willing to stretch out a helping hand to the fellow who was having trouble getting along and it was this genuine good fellowship, together with his gentle, soft-spoken manner, that most endeared him to us. i 287 k- JAMES PAUL VINCENT SCOBLICK, B.S.

We arc at a loss to know where to begin to describe Jim— he lias so many good attributes, in lull and overflowing measure, that to mention one or two would be to slight the others. In hearty good fellowship, in untiring friendliness, in readiness to do, his equal would be indeed difficult to discover. Jim, probably on the theory that the proper study of mankind is man, has devoted scant time to the activities with which many of his classmates have striven to complement their classroom work. For Jim has studied mankind, in the persons of his fellow students, anti we’re satislied that study has not been in vain. I he memory of Jim will linger with us and whether the years to come will bring us together or no, we know that memory will stay fresh. We hope that Jim’s memory of us will stay as fresh, and the happy days � l these four years will give him as much pleasure as our association with him has given us. ■i 288 DAVID SCUCCIMARRA, B.S. Peekskill High School Sodality 5, 4: Mendel Club 2. Only those who have known Dave intimately, can appreciate the versatility of his character. Of a reserved nature, he is quiet and unobtrusive in the presence of others, one who docs not easily make friends but who retains those whom he has made. Dave has been able to keep well up in his studies through his entire course. He was especially excellent in science in which he always displayed an eager interest. After graduation. Dave intends to enter Medical School. His talents are well suited to the profession. Thorough, methodical, with a keen appreciation of facts and a contempt of fancies, lie has an ideal scientific mind. The good wishes of his classmates will accompany him through life. 2S9 ROGER TKHAN SCULLY. B.S.

He came to Fordham with a great football reputation and he certainly lived up to it. Rog stood out as one of the scrappiest and l cst liked members of the squad. Fair play was his fundamental and guiding rule on both the gridiron and the campus. Rog is a true Gael with a subtle humor and bright cheerfulness that go to banish anything that resembles the blues. He was well liked by his fellows who elected him a class ollicer in both his Sophomore and junior years. In parting with Rog. we want him to know ot the sincere regard we hold for him.

To the cause of his college and his class, he has ever manifested unwavering loyally and indefatigable devotion. In recognition of his qualities as a leader, twice has he been chosen to direct the activities of his class from the presidential chair. With rare skill has he cared for the business destinies of the “Ram. Rarely do we find a man such as Howie, for diverse though his extra-curricular activities may be, he is always to be found in the front rank of scholars. You, Howie, have amply fulfilled the maxim. “He profits most, who serves best.’ In you Ford ham loses a student of note, only to gain, in you, a most loyal anti devoted alumnus. •{• 291 • RICHARD J.

A man of rare qualities and one who could bridge the numerous difficulties of college life with the greatest alacrity. Dick possesses that rare gift, a perfect sense of humor and laughs Just as heartily at a joke on himself as one on the other fellow. Dick is a true friend and when in the midst ol collegiate nonsense, he takes to himself a confidential mood—take care, for something of great import is coming from the lips of a wise man. Foolish as it may seem to prophesy, nevertheless with Dick as a subject we hazard the opinion that a man of his qualities could be nothing but a success. So Dick, with the rest, we say so long but not good-bye. { 292 • FRANKLIN ). SHEER IN, B.S. Manual Training High School Football 1. 2: Track 4: Baseball 4; Mendel Club 2. Seldom does one find that rare composite of athletic ability and mental keenness. T his is a general rule but Frank is an obvious exception. As a freshman he more than lived up to the reputation that had preceded him. performing brilliantly as a member of the yearling football team. Meanwhile his scholarship did not suffer and he leaves behind him a record ol which he may be proud. Blessed with a sparkling sense of humor, and a ready wit, Frank is quick to see the ludicrous in life. His is that jovial temperament that breeds true unselfishness; that fine character which merits worthwhile recognition. A truer, more steadfast friend is not to be found. Although Frank distinguished himself by his speed on the football field, his efforts there were dwarfed in comparison to his split-second 8:59 dashes from the K1 station in the pursuit of the philosophical learning dispersed bv Father Farley. •{■ 293 y JOSEPH FREDERIC SHEPHERD.

If you can meet with triumph and disaster and treat those two imposters just the same, von fulfill the requisites of manhood as set forth by the English writer of military verse. Rut Tom could never be so calm and stoical about victory or defeat. His eyes show his acute reactions to circumstances. For him there is the crown to be gained or lost and he fights hard and valiantly because the end is worth his striving. For this, we believe that Tom is very much a man lor it was no man that Kipling defined but some superbeing who never knew what it was to l e ambitious, to desire fame, to love friends as Tom is ambitious and friendly and eager for the high place he will some day win. When he does there will be a host of others who will rejoice with him. i 2% h GEORGE T. SIMONS, B.S. Richmond Mill High School Track 1, 2, 5. 4; Outdoor Captain 4; Slope Crew . 2; Sodahti . -9. . 4.

For years Fordnam’s relay team owed much of its success to its great anchor man. who snatched many a race from the proverbial jaws of defeat. lake Weber will sigh when George passes on but so will Fordham. We will miss him greatly—not only as a great trackman but as a gentleman and a friend. George is a modest, cheerful and withal regular fellow with a smile on his lips and the “Carry On” spirit in his heart. From the bark of the gun on Commencement Day, you will be in there running a strong, clear race and more—it will be your biggest anti best race.

The arduous trip from Brooklyn to the halls ol culture has settled Wally into a philosophical acceptance of things. The winding path and the hurrying groups are but externals to our friend Wally. He perceives the innerness of events. Scarce are the words he utters but they are opportune. On the fringe of a circle of men regretting this or that, he will release some subtle consolation that halos over the ring. This Brooklynite serves a welcome purpose.

II truly said of anyone it was said of Leon that. Fame comes unbidden if it comes at all.’ Were we only half so certain of many other things in this world as we are that true fame is his due. we should be very happy indeed.

Fordham was fortunate in having a man like Neil with his tine disposition. Neil is ever smiling, ever happy, ever eager to bring a smile to the lips of all. Neil’s forte was social success. His was a talent that lends itself easily to this particular phase of college life. His charming manners and willingness to oblige, coupled with a sound common sense, won immediate recognition for him. He was elected Class Representative in his Freshman and Sophomore years. His ability was great enough to surmount the odium attached to being a resident ol Brooklyn and being elected in spite of this handicap. Neil plans to follow in the footsteps oi Blackstone.

Tony has a way of making people want him around them, and it is this quality, we believe, that will prove most important in helping him along the road to success. Spin gave us the impression that he enjoyed every moment he spent at Ford ham. whether it was in the frenzied excitement of our smashing victory over N. Y.

That we did not have Ray with us during our freshman year has been one ol our secret regrets. el when we did meet, this unassuming young man slowly and surely won his way into the hearts of his classmates. Nevertheless, though Ray enjoyed the acquaintance of many, he preferred the friendship of a few. His forte is philosophy anti he manages to instill the basic principles of this abstract science into all his other studies. His keen mind is quick to detect a fallacy whether in class or in the laboratory. Science was quickly mastered by him and lie was deemed competent to act as instructor in chemistry during his senior year. In view of his scholastic and social success at Fordham, wc may easily predict a brilliant career for this young man, who broke all precedent by coming to us from New Jersey and making us like it. 4 301 HAROLD JOSEPH SULLIVAN, A.R.

He would get all the fun in the world out of everybody clse's jests. He had no confidence in his own. It is as the student, however, that we will remember Hal. He devoted himself whole-heartedly to his studies and won many scholastic awards. Ills quiet, detached temperament is ideally suited to the student s life.

Charlie, unfortunately, did not come to Fordham until his senior year, hut his quiet and unassuming yet genial personality has firmly fixed him in the hearts of Fordham men. He has applied himself industriously to his work, and his efforts have been amply repaid. Yet he has struck that fine proportion between work and play that typifies the ideal college man. He is equipped with a sense of self-assurance. a modest belief in his own abilities, and an unlimited capacity for making friends. A pleasant chap to have near, a friend with the sincerity and loyally that make true friendship a sacred thing. Charlie intends to enter the Harvard School of Business Administration to prepare for a career in the commercial world.

His laugh is hearty, his talk is brusque with a masculine opinion and a poetic distaste lor the unreal and the pedantic. He hates sham and is swift upon its destruction; lie loves life and is full of its enjoyment. There is the throb of the Gael in his verse and the slight burr of it in his speech. There is depth and feeling in a mighty frame, and a vigorous rebuke in his romanticism. Breathing the air of the Elizabethans, lie infuses discussions with a richness and a vigour of the adventurer upon strange seas. His is the charm of the soldier, the kindness of the bearded knight, the rough affection of strong men. And he rides last and hard, and reality will not unseat him. 504 FAMES J. TACKNEY, A.B.

Jim and Psychology came together, but we must confess that we know Jim better since September than we know Psychology. Jim deserted Seton Hall College after his Junior year, having excelled as an Orator and a lhespian, at that institution. So Seton Hall’s loss was surely Ford-ham's ain with his advent. Confidence, sincerity and enthusiasm are only a few of the main marks that are stamped on the character of this youth. His deep-seated convictions make him confident, and his sound tastes and manners brand him as sincere, but the crowning note of all, is his enthusiastic spirit. For Jim has truly the heart of an optimist, and as he faces life’s great problem with the rest of us. the future spreads out before him, and knowing his depth of foresight, we feel he has visualized some great future. I’o him God’s speed in his endeavors. 505 ) MATTIIFAY JAMES TOSTI, A.B. Xavier High School Sodatilv 1. 2, . 4: Harvester Club 5: hrooklyn-I.ong Island Club 4.

An aptitude for all the sciences, but especially that one which Galileo first lathered, physics, is the natural heritage of a chap of Tony’s studious and inquisitive nature. Thus it is easy to understand how that subterranean chamber, which houses the bewildering and intricate instruments ot our Seismic station, held a peculiar appeal for one whose natural bent lay in that direction. As Mr. Tynan’s able assistant, he capably aided the fascinating work of tracking down quakes and probing into the mysterious sources oi the earth’s rumblings.

He has fathomed that long-sought secret of how to apply himself to his study without making it savour of drudgery, and really enjoying it. He takes a deep interest in all of Fordham’s endeavors, and is one ol her most ardent and loyal supporters. Andy’s favorite diversion is the art of Terpsichore, and he is one of its most devoted worshippers. In the dance he is excelled by few, and the intricacies of the tango hold no fear for him.

Distinguished by a rare sense of humor, enviable poise and a most bewildering philosophic calm. Ed is indeed a charming gentleman. But words mean little or nothing. We like him primarily because he is blessed with that indefinable something which men know as “being regular.' As a student Eddie is exceptionally keen in observing that the well-rounded man does not fall asleep over his books. In his varied curriculum, he has found time for periods devoted to dancing and bridge. Eddie is of such stuff as men are made of. and we expect things from him.

Always happy and carefree outside of class, we have often wondered if it was the same Tim who evinced such keen perception in discerning the fallacies in Father Dougherty’s intricate philosophical objections. Truly a Fordham man. Jim’s activities have been both varied and successful.

He is the mystic militarist (like his favorite Kipling) warmly living, fiercely fighting, eager to progress, with the bugles sounding the “advance’ ringing always in his ears.

His prowess as a student can well be attested to by any o! his profs; yet his classmates bear a far nobler tribute. Many are those who have drunk greedily of the words of wisdom that flowed from Dan’s lips, especially the inmates of that domicile of intellectualism which boarders know familiarly as The Hall. His sunny disposition has brought a host of friends to his side. Most loyal in all things pertaining to Ford-ham, a scholar, a sportsman, and above all else, a gentleman such, in a word, is Dan.

But, perhaps a cut and polished diamond whose myriad sparkling facets gleam with the brilliant rays embedded willnn, is not an overdrawn picture. Each facet represents a new phase of college life, each ray the efforts of some group to add its contribution to the attractiveness 1 the whole. Our own diamond is the class of Nineteen Hundred 1 hirtv-Onc. The fleeting visions flashed as it turned in our fingers we have here attempted to reproduce. Thirty-One is not an ordinary class. In its annals, superlatives have been inscribed again and again. The largest freshman class in Ford ham’s history, it gave early evidence of the qualities it was to develop. Wise as always in the selection of officers, if has now. for the third successive year, chosen Bill McMahon as its president. 'The pleasant smile and cordiality ol this speedy half-back of Varsity fame have secured for him a host of friends. Ably assisted by Pisani, who is also assistant manager of football, Ed Bradley, and Tony Siano, who is found in the Fall leading the maroon-dad on the grid-iron. Bill has kept his class well in the fore in all its activities. i 528 b Principal among these is study. I here stood, we rememher, at the entrance to Old Rose llill. on the morning ol September eighteenth, the grim spectre ol philosophy. So often had we heard ol its legendary terrors that a feeling ol uncertainty unnerved us as we faced it. But Time has read an insolent smile and not a frown. The first obstacle. Formal Logic, yielded to persuasion. The second, Kpistemologv. tottered under individual lorce and reasoning. I Inrty-One is carrying on, a trille bruised, but triumphant. To Science we hail already been introduced. Continued acquaintance lias not insulated a mutual attraction. Religion. History, Kconomics, Pedagogy, every subject gracefully ceding its treasures to the invading Funiors. In other fields the Juniors have gained by their prowess. Among their number is the largest group ot athletes at Fordham. Football is their favorite sport. The undefeated Freshman Team of 1927 gave nine Sophomores to the Varsity as regulars. As Funiors, they were captained by our Thomas Siano, and recognized his all-American calibre by re-electing him to the captaincy for the season of 1950-His fiery playing, cool leadership, and untlagging courage brought him wide popularity and prominent mention for the country’s premier honors. Among the sixteen letter-men of the Football season of 1929, in which the greatest team in Fordham’s history completed a difficult schedule without a deieat, ten were members of the class ol Thirty-One. In addition to Siano, there were Bartos, Elcewicz, Foley, Healey, McMahon, Miskinis, Pieculewicz, Tracey, and Wisniewski. In basketball, Wisniewski and Zaleski have distinguished themselves. In baseball, Andrews and Aube proved themselves twirlers of remarkable ability. Sheerin, the polished fielder, Maynard, the heavv-hitter and Elcewicz, the sturdy catcher, figured prominently in the nine’s many victories. Waldie, on the swimming team is helping Fordham gain another clean record. In track, Ray Hurley’s smooth stride and powerful drive have made him invaluable in the mile relay-Felix Larkin is junior Metropolitan javelin champion, and runner-up to the senior champion in the same event. Pete Cusack is rapidly rounding into form and will soon appear in competition. A turn of the gem. and a new facet catches our eye. It is the Ram, the college newspaper. Thirty-One is well represented. Edward P. Ricca, of the editorial board, William (). McCue, humor editor, Ralph Low and John Lane on the News stall; fohn Field and Ed McGrath on the Sports Stall; Gerald McKinney of the circulation department, and Angelo C. Badolato of the Reference board, complete the list. The graduating Stall of the Fordham Monthly may be assured that their excellent work will be left in capable hands, for Nelson Edge is con trihuting essays. Heugel, Hines, Cusack, and Silliere are soaring on the wings of song and John Hayes is busy with his interviews of the stars of the stage. Turning from the writers, we find our actors equally noteworthy. Vincent Carlin brought to the interpretation of Lorenzo in ’file Merchant ol Venice,” a deep musical voice, a grace and skill in acting, and a stage presence that earned for him unstinted commendation. In the role of Nerissa, a very difficult impersonation, Thomas Waldie again showed himself the polished actor. George Collins ■i 329 •{ 550 f as Salarino, William Ciolko in the role of Launcelot, George Nicolaus as Stephano, and W illiam O’Donnell as the Duke ol Venice, brought praise to themselves and to the class. Francis Sullivan, as Chairman ol the Ring Committee, proved that the confidence of the class was not misplaced. He had the rings delivered in record time, and to the complete satisfaction of everyone. Sullivan is also Secretary of the Italian Academy, and an active member of the Council of Debate. In the latter organization. Nelson Fdge, W illiam Ciolko and John Lane also figure prominently. The interest of Air. Fdge in extra-curricular activities has been rewarded by the vice-presidency of the French Club, and the seat ol honor in the Quill Club, of which enterprising group Thomas P. Ronan is Censor. Many other members of the class of Thirty-One have found favor among tin-various clubs and organizations which add zest to college life by cultivating a spirit of usefulness and fraternity among their devotees. John K. Kelly is tenor soloist of the Glee Club, while twenty-two of his class-mates are numbered among the choiristers. Joseph I). Gatti, and Attilio Tucci. whose efforts were of great value in the forming of an Italian Academy. arc now vice-president, and treasurer, respectively, of that organization. Air. Gatti is also president of the Orchestra, and is assisted in that capacity by Edward Silliere. vice-president, John Berger, librarian, and Arthur A. Graniere, manager, all ol Junior. Anthony Porcelli, treasurer of the French Club, completes the roster ot officers from this class. This brief sketch is so patently inadequate that we doubt whether even a small portion of the class’ worth has been expressed. Myriad rays have escaped us. Many facets of our diamond have passed by unnoticed, so rapidly has it revolved. And the year is not vet done. We learn that Matthias Correa has written “Loyalty.” and Daniel Green “The Contract, for the One-Act Play Contest. Among the sporters of the buskin in this intra-mural competition will be loand Carlin, Collins. Porcelli. Philip Ryan and Watson. It is from a study of the past that one might gain an insight into the future. Before the few remaining days of Junior have slipped by, new names will appear among those contributing their talent to class and college. Those who have proven their worth will continue to be reliable. In the joy of accomplishment, the few fleeting moments of unhappiness that even the most fortunate lives know, will be overwhelmed. For the Junior, ime has shown us, is. in the words of Browning: One who never turn'd his back, but march'd breast forward. Never doubted clouds would break. Never dream’d though right were worsted, wrong would triumph, Held we fall to rise, are baffled to fight better. Sleep to wake. Finally, bonds of interest uniting varied tastes, ties of friendship linking close the hearts of those who work together, promise to strengthen the chain that binds the members of Thirty-One to one another, and Thirty-One to Fordham. -4 351 •4 552 •}• )oof V op non lores The Sophomore Class President I ice- President Secretary Treasurer Representative V. Hi s ;ii i Cox John Haves David Gerber Raymond Smith Robert Pisaxi Obviously, the first task of the Sophomores was to prevent the incoming Freshmen from forming the usual impression of their immediate seniors. It was, then, quite a shock to the Frosh, whose minds seethed with tales of college hazing, culled in the witching hours from Frank Merriwell ithey must read him), to be treated like gentlemen. And, no doubt, it is this consideration which has led to a closer union and the promotion oi good-fellowship between the two classes. Members of both are to be congratulated. Sophomores lor the willing assistance they gave to their officers and the I ipiUnites in acquainting the newcomers with Fordham and her traditions. Freshmen for their ready response to the eflorls of the Sophomores. Trusting in the old adage that the stoutest enemies make the strongest friends, representatives of both classes met ami arranged a tournament, the prize to be a smoker tendered the winning class bv the losers. It so happened that in the tirst joust, the Frosh carried the field, and the Sophomore tug-o’-war team, as well. With this defeat leering Jin their faces, the Sophomore track and field men dug in their spikes and tied the score. 'The class went to the next meet with a confidence which the team justified when it scored an overwhelming victory over the Freshman tank men. Turning from the inter-class relations, let us turn to our proper sphere Sophomore activities. Nothing daunted by the prospect of new subject matter and the threat ol coming examinations, the class achieved distinction in this { 534 Y field. Particularly noteworthy and novel was the rhetorical academy given in early December liv the class of Sophomore A under the sponsorship ol the Rev. Fr. Francis P. Donnelly. S.J., professor ol the class. December also saw the presentation of the annual stage production, in this instance The .Merchant oi Venice. in which Sophomores played prominent parts. In that ol Antonio. Horace V. McNally, to quote a critic, succeeded in investing the character with all the dignity and solemn melancholy which lines ami actions demand. V. Bingham Cox, as Bassanio, gave an excellent | crionnance, and one which was surpassed only by the portrayal ofShylock. Robert Collins, as Portia. John F. Costello as the Prince ol Arragon, Philip Nolan as Salerio, and Charles Oberle, as Tubal, turned in performances which redounded to the credit of the class as well as to their own. In praising the players, one must not lose sight of the background against which they moved, and of the men who played their parts, unseeing and unseen, behind the scenes. W herefore, we must compliment the Sophomore assistants to the stage-manager. Messrs. Gilhuly, Melncnly, Pisani, Power, and the remaining members of the class in the stage crew on the appropriate technical effects and settings which their efforts produced. One ol the first extra-curricular activities set on loot was the reorganization of the Sodality oj the Holy Rosary. This sodality, open to both lower classes, has a tone distinctly Sophomore. Prefect V. Bingham Cox beads the roster of officers, and numbers among his brother officials Arthur Stegmeier, Casimir Novogoski, Harry White, and Horace V. McNally. What had been the Freshman Forum was reorganized this Fall as the IIuyhes Debating Society, and its advantages were opened to members of the lower classes. Bernard J. O’Connell was elected to the presidency, Patrick ). Crowley supports him as Vice-President, and on the shoulders of Henry F. White fall the responsibilities of the secretaryship. The capable debating units of Freshmen, composed of Messrs. Crowley, O’Connell. Tracey, Dates, Dorn, Hughes, Kelly and White show exceptional promise. To turn from the realm of the spoken to that of the written word, we find that several Sophomores have wooed the Muse of Authors wisely and well: that, in tine, Richard I. Burke and Joseph Coughlin have been appointed to the Board of Editors of the Fordham J onilily, and that George Mulligan has been elected assistant to the Business Manager. 1 he work of the two former has been as interesting and as enjoyable as the efforts of the latter have been untiring, and their reward is in proportion to their merit. Two members of the Editorial Board of the Ram are Sophomores, Robert Nebot and Robert Ponsiglione. Other class-mates who may be observed watching for men who bite dogs, or in their case, for Freshmen who butt rams, are Messrs. Collins, Coughlin. Gaugh, Hein. Kelly, Eeprohon. McKenna, McNamara. Meanv, Moshy. Walsh, White, and Tirdel. In the Glee Club a large number of Sophomores has qualified, including Messrs. Bannigan, Carey, Gilhuly, Gorman, Hartmann. Kennard, Kenny, McCarthy, .McManus, O’Connell, Tirdel. Norman I,e Boeuf has the distinction of being the accompanist. The Colleges of Good Counsel. Georgian Court, New Rod belle and other institutions have heard the club, and the singing of Fordham's name by these members. In the gymnasium, that shrine to alcohol, wintergrecn and Jake Weber, we find many talented Sophs. Adams, Coburn, Markov, O’Brien, lack Power, Rutzen, Johnny Whelan, and Harry White show line form in the pool. Adams. Rutzcn and Whelan arc already members of the Varsity, with Coburn anti Markov i 335 • ■i 336 h among tlie regular clivers. Tlu others give excellent promise and already have their eyes on a Varsity berth. Despite what authorities on the subject say, at Fordham, Irom swimming to track is but a short step upwards to the gym tloor. There the squad may be seen every afternoon rounding the track and into shape under the tutelage of lake Weber, who has found promising material in Coburn, Gilhuly, Hurley, Janis. O’Keefe, Siencicwicz and J. Smith, of the class. Those whom the coach picks to represent the college have still competition to face in the forthcoming events. Reali zing the manifest impracticability ol an attempt to equal the record ol last year's great basket-ball aggregation with material which had been, for the greater part, inexperienced in collegiate competition. Coach Kelleher has formed a squad which is almost wholly Sophomore. Those from whom he forms his team are Comerford. Conroy. Hayes, Hurley, Maroon, Mulligan, Parker, Siencicwicz, and Szeskowski a team which will, in the next two years, sweep the Eastern Courts. It must not be thought from this that the team is ineffective now. On the contrary, the present five has power, speed and all that is necessary for a champion team. Many opponents have fallen to them, and when their play begins to interlock smoothly they will come to know the joys of many important victories of undefeated seasons. With the basket-ball season at its end, smiling Spring is upon us. 1 he first warm day will see the diamonds swarming with a host of aspirants to positions on the ball team. From the Freshman team of last year, will come Comerford, A. Coyle, J. Coyle, Davis, Fisher, Mulligan, Murphv, Rosenthal, and Tobin. All of these men showed ability in their play last year, and when tin- battle of the competitors is over, we expect to see some, if not most of them, wearing the Maroon and White of the Varsity. The Rifle Team of the R.O.T.C. unit has entered upon a lengthy and ambitious schedule in which matches with City College. New York, St. John’s, I he Clarendon Rifle Club, and the 212 Coast Artillery figure prominently. Budefti, Dalton. Hughes, and Reynolds of Sophomore have been cutting the black from the bull in practice, and the officials in charge expect a good showing from this quartet against the other teams. When, early in the Fall, Major Cavanaugh had finished his pruning anil elimination, Conroy, Red Conway, Davis. Fisher, Johnny Janis, Murphy, Siencie-wicz, Szeskowski, and Tip Tobin, of Sophomore, remained on the squad. Several of these showed such ability in scrimmage that they won the right to regular positions on the eleven. But it was not until the N.Y.U. game that the worth o‘‘ the team, and particularly the work of the Sophomore backs was commonly recognized. Then the stars of Murphy, Fisher and Conway rose in the heavens. The career of this trio and their fellows through the remaining games is common knowledge. But there are highlights in those games which one can’t help recalling. Memories crowd upon us. Fisher’s quick kicks in the Buckncll game: the pass from Fisher to Conway in the same game for that thrilling run of half the field for a touchdown: Davis’ tackle on the three yard line Janis scoring on Holy Cross—Murphy at Boston but we must draw the line somewhere, or go on orever. Our year is done; but, though this sun which shone so fair in Sophomore will set; though the deeds we have done will lie draped in the shadow of the passing vears—yet. these triumphs of today become the memories of tomorrow. So, with Virgil may wc prophecy Fortassc hacc olim mcminissc juvabit. -4 3S7 )■ jn iiawnn irr ii ■iiiiin i nmniTiil { 338 IIWI Fresh mien The Freshman Class Frances Bacer James Clark . . James J. Trkao John R. Szymaxski Pre.fiden I I ice-Prest deni Secretary Treasurer f pHE lordly elms and stately buildings of old Rose Hill looked down with I- interest and amusement as the straggling, self-conscious vanguards o! the Class of 1935 wandered through the gates of Kordham University on September Sixteenth. Pouring in from all quarters, they huddled for the most part in milling groups around Freshman Hall, to be superciliously regarded anti commented upon bv their traditional overseers, the Sophomores. Out of this confusion of uncertainty, embarrassment and lack of acquaintance, the Reverend Father Deane brought some degree of order as the new classes were formed, and the class of 1955 as a whole was officially an entity. Later in the day the Auditorium was the scene of endeavors l all to put the Freshmen at ease, and acquaint them with the various activities, athletic, literary anti social, of the University. By far, the most interesting, and doubtfully received were the solicitous words anti brotherly advice of the president of the class of 1952 to the incoming class. In flowery terms, anti big-brotherlv spirit, he informed them that the Freshman-Sophomore rivalry was wholly anil sincerely an attempt to bring the former to a full understanding of, anil an appreciative respect for Ford ham, and the things of Ford ham. To this end would the Sophomores bend their efforts, tenderly and disinterestedly —according to their president. Alas! this generous friendliness and spirit of kindliness, as emphasized by A 540 various members of the Vigilance Committee, was received with but one mind by the suspicious Freshmen; and the more pugnacious new arrivals rejoiced in the scent of coming combat. Moderators and officers 1 the various organizations then made known the opportunities and advantages of any and every activity. The succeeding days were filled with interest, novelty, amusement, and, in most cases, no little trepidation, the least oi which was justified fully, when the Sophs had their day—a day of nervous merriment and sheepish marching for the Freshmen, first to the stage of the theatre to receive the traditional and ludicrous caps and ties, and the Maroon booklet bursting with Ford ham spirit, and Sophomore tyranny -and then parading to the amusement of the despots with rolled pants and turned out coats. For a week, the Campus rang with the unmusical attempts of the slaves’’ to sing the Ram,” and raucous, ill-timed rendering of usually peppy cheers; while through the bewilderment of classes, cuts, gowned laymen, and cafeteria quick-lunches, ran various undercurrent rumors of more or less sanguinary encounters with the upper-class tyrants. A dawn of hope gleamed when the Frosh overwhelmed the Sophs in a tug-o'-war, and joy was rampant. Another victory in the track or swimming meets would insure domestic freedom lor the down-trodden. Great numbers enrolled for the track event only to have a chosen few appear and valiantly go down in defeat before vastly better-represented Sophomores. fhe hopes of freedom died temporarily when the swimming events resulted in a crushing defeat for the Frosh. But the bonds of slavery were relaxing, slipping; a haughty disdain of Sophomore rules resulted. With October came the first football game, but the Frosh-Soph rush was artfully ignored by the upperclassmen. And we point with pride to the fact that with the advent of the class of 35, came the turning-point in Fordham's football supremacy. Football found the Freshmen merged from a group of more or less individual high-school stars to a strongly-welded, undefeated team of eleven men playing as a single unit, with capable reserves to fill in the gaps. In its two games it demonstrated overwhelming superiority and gave great promise of future starring in varsity ranks. Zapustas, Frosh half-back, was badly hurt in the City College game, and was compelled to convalesce in the Ford ham Hospital for two months. He displayed a gameness and fighting power characteristic of the entire eleven. Unexpected honors came to the Freshmen, when Joe McCluskey, former New England two-mile champion, easily captured the Freshman Intercollegiate Crosscountry championship. Although Fordham had no full team, the victory of this new flash” set the college prominently forward in the track world. This victory was followed by bis splendid showings in the A.A.U. Championships and the Pastime A.C. games. In fhe realm of the wooden floor and deceptive, inviting, basket, the Frosh were ably represented. Here, a sterling first-string five composed of Duggan, Graney, Kane, Putzer and Radice, together with powerful second and third T . 41 } i 342 • shifts, swept through their opponents, dropping only one game, and that to Roosevelt, the peppy, aggressive neighbors across the street. All in the lust-string promise to make the ranks of the varsity heroes larger and stronger. Fresh are ably representing the new class in debating, the rostrum ringing to the challenges of O’Keefe, McCluskey and Martin, who gained a victory over N.Y.U., and a no-decision debate with Seth bow. The orchestra, band, and Glee Club arc receiving tlieir quota ot 1933 men, while the Ram has our future reporters, columnists, editors, and printers-devils working in its ranks. I he talent oi John J. Burke has found expression in his verse and prose contributed to the Fordham Al anility, « 1 which he is already an associate editor. Seven months have passed and the cliques of high-school associates are dissolving rapidly into a strong companionable body ol Fordham Freshmen. New luminaries in sports are constantly being uncovered. J. Killelea ami McGrath won the six hundred and three hundred yard races, respectively, at the Pastime A.C. Baseball will undoubtedly attract more talent, while the outdoor track and tennis seasons yet remain. With the close of the examinations, a lew more or less iamihar laces were conspicuous by their absence. To till the serried ranks, the February class entered, bewildered and small, to overtake the rapidly progressing September Frosh. The Freshman organizations Spanish Club, Sodality. Debating, French Club, and newly-formed Italian Academy all received an added impetus to sweep through a successful year. The playwrights of the class are feverishly digging up plots for the Annual Frosh One-Act Play Contest, while future Thespians. Barrymores. Cohans—or just plain hams are eloquent in clearing their throats lor the visioned denouement. With the passage of the first year, the Class of Thirty-Three will be a memory . . . as Freshmen. But with the years to come, the more ambitious will see to it that when we leave the portals for all time, we will be more than a memory. The Class of 1933 will be a tradition, a group that ... Oh well, we are only Freshmen, yet. To the graduating class we extend full and sincere wishes for their success in life. To the incoming Seniors we wish a successful graduation. And to the Sophomores . . . Pardon, but we don t love our friendly enemies. -4 343 b 344 Student Council Francis S. Carroll, '50 Matthew J. Connolly, '50 Richard F. Calnan, 50 William R.

From the very beginning, the students gave evidence of a whole-hearted enthusiasm which was sustained throughout the year—due in a great measure to our dynamic leader. The Sodality this year concerned itself with problems and nature, which intimately appealed to the Sodalists. its effect in arousing and maintaining interest throughout the year. The Ford ham section was the prime mover in the establishment of the Conference of Catholic Schools of the Metropolitan area, which has for its main purpose the union ol the various Sodalities with a view to establishing the Sodality as a more vital influence in our colleges. This need has long been patent and much credit is due to Ford ham for laying the foundation ol an association which, properly handled, shall accomplish all the ideals set up lor it.

Of the many good works ot the Fordham unit, the foremost has always been the teaching of catechism to the inmates of the House of Refuge on Randall’s Island. Besides this great good, however, other things are accomplished such as the distribution of clothes to the poor, the collection of magazines for hospitals, and the entertainment of the occupants ol charitable institutions. At Christmas-time, the annual St. Vincent tie Paul Collection in the College was much larger than usual anti a generous sum was forwarded to the Particular Council of the Bronx to be used by them in the good work which they are doing. It is a source of inspiration to the members to see the great fruits of their labors and a great incentive is given them to join the Conferences in their own localities after leaving college. - ■ 34ft y St. John Berchman Society Rev.

Gutenberg, '51 Sacristan rpiiK St. |ohn Berchman’s Society is the least heralded i all organizations at 1 Fordham. But its work is ol great importance. The purpose ot its founder was to spread a knowledge of the proper manner ol serving Mass among the students. The honor and duty ol assisting at Mass is the motive and principle of its life. Nearly sixty members of the student body are enrolled in this organ .ation. Hall the number is continuously active. Correct service and its value, the proper vestments and their significance, the courtesy of the rubrics, this is the knowledge and study of these men. The priests, so faithfully served, appreciate the work and have many times commended the society members. Father Bouwhuis, the Moderator, continues the custom of the past years in having regular meetings. He has added the practise of having different members of the clergy give instructions and demonstrations at the meetings. Illustrated lectures followed by short collations in the Senior Dining Room are another new departure, this year. And of course there is always the annual banquet to fill out the program of the club's activities. A 549 y Harvester Club Rev. Edward J. Hank ah ax. S. I.........................Moderator Robert E.

There was the task of providing funds for the missionaries whom the club had undertaken to aid. Mr. Welch ever eager and full of suggestion conceived the idea of a minstrel show. And it got going under his guidance. The internal affairs of the club underwent a reorganization ibis year. Each department of its activity was considerably revised with an eye to efficiency. The roster of the club was increased and now the news comes that the standard symbol of the society is to be changed. A new ensignia has been adopted. Mr. William I . Kuhn of the Sophomore Class is the designer and it is to his credit that the device is so distinctive and attractive. Of course the authorities at the L niversity have always given the club their support and with the loyalty of the student body ever more clearly evidenced, the outlook for the mission workers is very bright. ■i 550 •}• Parthenian Sodalitv Rev.

The Jesuits brought it with them to Ford ham when they look over control of the University at the request of the Arch-Bishop of New York. Arch-Bishop Hughes. It is the one organization at Fordham which has the unique honor of being older than the University itself. The Sodality is composed of resident students under the invocation of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the patronage of St. Alovsius. Each year the new members are formally received into the Sodality at the Sodality Mass held in May. It is truly an event of the year which is remembered by the entire student body. It is the aim of the Sodality to foster a greater love for the Blessed Virgin Mary in the hearts of its members, and to keep them in close contact with the Blessed Sacrament by weekly Communion. This it has been successfully doing since its first day of existence at Fordham and every Fordham man is truly a son of the Blessed Virgin Mary, our Mother. It is one of the Organizations that is characteristically representative of all that Fordham stands for. ( 351 F Council of Debate Rev. Joseph 15. Wausii.

Since its inception in 1854, the knowledge of parliamentary procedure it affords is not the least of the many benefits it bestows on its members. ho does not recall with pleasure the sharp point ol order’’ that so often called in protest to a tyranny in high places, the reports of the committees the laughter oi the repartee, the thrill of victory in debate? Mold this is a history of facts. From the Freshman Forum to the Council in 1CC7 came the great debaters of 1930. Joe .McGovern and Frank Kenny, William McAuliffe and loe Doran and Andy Ouinn. They cooled their heels and said nothing to fire the world during their Sophomore year. Sophomores are usually quiet in the Council. True they debated before the society. Bill White. Ilenrv Kennedy. Phil Fisen-nienger. Tom Sheridan and many others put in an appearance in Sophomore. In Junior year, the direction of the society passed into the hands of Father Walsh. Fatliei Taafle, who had filled the post so capably was compelled to resign because of the press of other duties. The new moderator soon won the affection and respect of the men in the Council. Dan Murphy acted as secretary in our Junior year and Howie Seitz took care of the funds. That year was the most successful the council had had m many years. Buffalo I’ni versify and Boston . 52 F Senior Intercollegiate Debaters College fell before tlie onslaughts of the Council representatives, one of whom was Bill White of 1950. in their first two debates. Bill McAulifFc and Bill White also were members of the team that took over St. Joseph's College in the following forensic contest. A full house at Ford ham witnessed the debate. Swinging along then to the Rutgers debates we find that Harry Kennedy and Bill O’Neil were representing the society. Andy Quinn and Tom Sheridan appeared then against Loyola. At Syracuse and Canisius Andy Quinn was a member of the team and also against Boston College. It was a very successful year, and for the first time since the flood Fordham defeated Boston College and twice at that. Lecture groups got going in earnest under Father Walsh’s direction. This splendid activity gives experience to the members and fame to the name of the Council. Dan Murphy, foe Doran. Bill McAulifTe, Phil Kisenmenger, Bill White, Andy Quinn, Tom Sheridan and Ken Kennedy went into the highways and byways of the parishes on this account. Then came the year 1929-50. We announce this as we would armageddon. Our officers are listed above and they officered the society with ease and elan. Dan Murphy was Sir Oracle himself in the president’s chair. Harry Kennedy and his diligent henchmen, foe Doran and foe McGovern, were the very capable Contest Committee. Andy Quinn headed the lecture group committee, fim Casey was chairman of the Board of Governors. In the debates that year the moving spirits were Joe Doran. Joe McGovern. Andy Quinn. Frank Sullivan, Bill McAulifTe, Jim Casey. Dan Murphy, Phil Kisenmenger, John Lane, Bill O’Neill. Howie Seitz. Harry Kennedy, Bill White, Bill Ciolko and many others. Princeton fell first to the orators from Rose Hill, then Brooklyn C. C. N. S . was defeated. Then in quick succession the Council Representatives met Boston College, Rutgers, City College. St. Joseph’s and William anti Mary. 553 y The H uuhes Debating Society Mr. John P. Carroll, S.J..............................Moderator Bernard J. O'Connell, '32 . . President Rorert Nebot.

It is composed ot members of tlie Freshman and Sophomore classes, and has succeeded the Freshman Forum, with tlte result that the sphere of activities and opportunities for underclassmen in lorensic circles has liven considerably broadened. Weekly debates within the Society arc held regularly, so that every member has the chance to practise constantly, and to improve his rhetorical abilities. Steady improvement was noted during the year, and the caliber ot the speakers augurs well for the future of varsity debating at Fordham. For the benefit of the Freshman members 1 the Society, engagements were scheduled with the Freshman debaters of other colleges. Teams composed exclusively of Freshmen have met Seth Low College, Junior College ot Columbia University: Washington Square College of New York University; Rutgers University in a dual debate: New York University; anil Loyola L niversitv ot Baltimore. In ail of these contests, the Fordham debaters won unqualified praise a n« I com menda t ion. Another series of debates were engaged in by Sophomore members ol the Society. Representatives of Boston College, Georgetown, and Rutgers 1 niversity were met by the Sophomore debaters of the Hughes Debating Society. Always did they show’ a maturity ol logic and eloquence. i ” '� 4 Quill Club Rev. James A. Taaffe, S.J.................................Moderator Nelson J. Edge, ’31 ... . .President William J. Mooney, ’30 .... Secretary Thomas P. Ron an, '31........................................Censor The Quill Club is an organization composed ol‘ a group of student authors. In the fall of 1925, a number of Freshmen interested in literary composition met and formed this club, which they carried to great prominence as their college days passed by. And their undergraduate days done, they were happy to hand the Quill Club down to their successors, as a proud heritage. From the outset it was decided that the goal of the society would be perfection in the art of the Short Story. A procedure, very ellicienl lor the attainment of this end, was adopted and its worth has been proved, as time passed and results have been so gratifying. Meetings are held bi-weekly, at which stories are read by their authors. They are then criticized by the members, and invariably there is a wealth of helpful and constructive suggestions The past year has been an exceptional one lor the Quill Club. Deprived by graduation of the last of its charter members, it was left standing on its own merits. But the same enthusiasm was present, and the same ideals held high, anti the contributions to the Monthly by the members, especially William J. Mooney and Nelson J. Edge, showed a high standard of literary style and excellence. Thus has the Quill Club progressed; a small, select body of student litera-teurs, never widening its scope, though liberally interpreting it and ever striving for its chosen goal, perfection in the short story. Father Taaffe, S.J. has been Moderator of the Quill Club since its inception. Change as the personnel of the Club might, the kind and valuable criticism of the Moderator was something always to be expected and ever appreciated. ••4 355 J- Freshman Short Story Guild Rev.

It met for the lirsl tune in early October, 1929, which occasion is best remembered as furnishing the new members with an opportunity to acquaint themselves. The first official meeting, however, took place on Tuesday, October loth. More members were acquired and the gathering was addressed by the society’s Moderator. Father Taaffe, S. I.. who explained the purpose of the Short Story Guild and offered some valuable suggestions on the method of holding our subsequent meetings. At this meeting the election of officers was held, with the reverend Moderator acting as temporary chairman. After the election, plans were outlined which provided for the writing and criticism ol original short stories by two members of the society at each bi-weekly meeting. With tlie advent of the new year, on January 21, 1930, to be exact, an innovation which had been decided upon before the beginning of the Christmas recess, was introduced into the society. Copies of Royster’s American Short Stories bv well-known writers were distributed among the members of the Guild. One of these classics was assigned to be read by all prior to the following meeting, at which those present offered their own opinions and criticisms concerning the style, etc. of the author. This new phase in the procedure, supplementing the regular readings and criticisms of original stories, endured till the end of the school year and infused greater interest in the activities of the organization. •{ . 6b M lines anc 1 M ummers Mr. William J.

To J charter the exact position of the .Mimes in the theatrical world with our poor instruments would l e sheer folly. Suffice it to say that somewhere between your parish minstrels and the Moscow Art Theatre, you will find the Mimes. I he interest of the Class of 1950 in Fordham’s dramatics began when they were Freshmen. The play selected for the varsity show of 1926 was “Beau Brummel and live of the members of 50 were in the cast; Philip Hollenbach as the Prince of Wales, William O’Neill as Simpson, Joseph Waters as Andy. Charles Missack as Bendo.i ami Howard Seitz as the Bailiff. Though scarcely anv of the roles except that of the Prince of Wales was of major importance, the men of ’50 played th eni with a zest that augured well for the future of dramatics at Fordham. In the Annual Freshman One-Act Play Contest we, of course, being Freshmen were in our glory. We produced the following plays, written, acted and staged entirely by members of ’50. A String of Pearls by James I vers; So by Joseph Monaghan; Via Anwris by Joseph Waters; The Roundhead by Claude Schwob; Puppets by Paul B. Rilev. The prize for the best play went to Joseph Waters as well as first prize for acting. The second prize for plays was carried off by Joseph Monaghan, while second prize for acting went to Frank Dohn. It was A 557 Scent from The .If ere hunt of I enter at this time that Bernard Lane and Robert Welch began their weary careers backstage changing villas in Mexico to cottages in England with a minimum lapse of time. Summer lowers the curtain on our activities in dramatics to rise again on Richelieu the Varsity play of our Sophomore year. We find several of our own Sophomores in the brilliant cast: John P. King as the Chevalier de Mauprat. Philip llollenbach as the Sieur de Beringhen, Allred Kirchner as liuget, Bernard McKcrnan as Francois. Andrew Quinn as Gaston. Francis Kenny as the Governor of the Baslile, Morgan Anglin as the Gaoler, and Walter Kennedy. Howard Seitz. Daniel Ahearn. William Collins. Paul McGlone. and Charles Missack as Courtiers and Secretaries appeared and further distinguished the Class of 1950 in the field of the drama. I it the Varsity One-Act Play Contest of 1928 Bernard J. Lane made his debut as a playwright with The J ml .If an, which won second honors for plays. Philip 11. llollenbach was awarded second prize lor acting. Howard Seitz. John P. King. Joseph Waters. Daniel Murphy. lames Casey, Andrew Quinn. Joseph A. Doran, and Charles Missack turned in performances, which were far above the average. The dramatic season of 1928-29 was inaugurated with the production of Othello. In the cast there appeared Philip llollenbach. Robert Neville, Paul McGlone, and Charles Missack. The play was greatly enhanced by the scenic production, which was under the direction of Bernard J. Lane and by the lighting effects designed l� v Claude R. Schwob. In the Varsity One-Act Piav Contest of the same year the ( lass of 1950 was represented by Sea .Madness. the work of Francis A. Dohn and by Ace alque Vale, written by Bernard J.

Casey, Philip Hollenbach. Bernard J. Lane, Joseph A. Doran, Daniel Murphy, and Robert Welch. The Mimes and Mummers was represented for the first time in the Little Theatre Tournament for the Belasco Cup. thereby gaining considerable recognition for Fordham’s dramatic endeavors, l he play which was presented was Don Ryan’s, 29 Rhythm of the City, in which John P. King. James P. Cascv, William J. Flanagan, and Bernard J. Lane, all of 30. distinguished themselves in important parts. As Seniors we returned to place in rehearsal Shakespeare’s Merchant of I enter. Philip H. Hollenbach was chosen to play the iamous Jew of Venice. At a last-night performance he was called back to take several curtain calls at the end of the well-known Court Room scene, in which he rose to great dramatic heights. Two other members of Senior, James P. Casey and Daniel Murphy, gave exceptional performances in major roles. The fourteen scenes of the play were designed and staged by Bernard J. Lane and effectively illuminated by Claude R. Schwob. The Varsity One-Act Play Contest of 1930 saw Bernard J. Lane again represented with The (tablet to win his third consecutive prize. William J. O’Neill directed John P. King and James P. Casey in this play. John King in his last appearance on a Fordham stage gave a marvelous performance which won campus-wide commendation for him. Daniel Murphy and Robert Welch appeared in Prisoner.-' Rase by Joseph Coughlin, '32. whose play won first prize. Philip Hollenbach in his last effort for the Mimes and Mummers directed this play. There is one member of the Class of 1930 who lor his zeal and energy and ability is deserving of special commendation. He is W illiam J. O’Neill, who for two years was in charge of the business end of the Fordham Dramatic Society. Likewise under his direction a course was given to undergraduates in acting, stage-setting. make-up. and nearly all phases ot the theatre. A 559 The Fordham Monlhlv Editor -in- Chief Francis X.

The Monthly has not only published its issues regularly (ami promptly) but has also brought out an anthology 1 verse, and a papal issue which elicited the commendation of the Holy Father and the metropolitan clergy. The year of 1929-1950. the last of a decade, was representative ol Ins tutelage. At the beginning of the year it was thought that the department of verse would suffer most from the graduation ol the staff of the previous volume. How- George Swift. ’30 Willi m White. '30 Peter I.

William .Muonev. and the substantial contributions of William White and William F. Lynch, the doubt was almost immediately dispelled. Mr. Swift was easily the laureate. Melting a fine Celtic emotion with a maturity rarely found in the undergraduate, and drawing a richness of poetic diction from his acquaintance with the members of the Irish Renaissance, his few pieces compensated for their infrequency bv an enduring quality seldom found and deeply appreciated. His Phyrsis will be remembered as classic in the annals ol the Monthly. Mr. Cahalan was the romantic of the group of Fordham Parnassians. Equally adept at prose and verse, he found Ins lullest expression in such delicate cameos as the Paste He de Suit, Blue Smoke and Chryselephantine. His touch was elegant. his manner was polished and his taste profoundly eclectic. An omnivorous reader, he reflected the breath of his learning in essays like Teaism, a quaint, philosophical study of ancient oriental tea rites. Paul Haas and illiam Mooney emerged in their senior year. I he former, a creator of delicate sketches and lyrics of an extremely personal quality, was also distinguished for his excellent reviews of current novels. His manner was quiet and unobtrusive, toning down the noisy dogmatism of many of the literary essays of his fellow members. Mr. Mooney slowly perfected the blank verse: his later poems especially were filled with a soil beauty which adorned the front page with a charm quite inimitable. Xor was poetry alone his means of expression. As one of the guiding spirits of the Quill Club, he was also the creator of short stories, the best of which Pros Ptoses Unhides was the feature of the December number. I he work of William White, which with that of the editor and George Swift, extends through the four years of attendance, was of a unique delicacy and pellucid clarity. His poems never violated understandability; his sketches were of the piercing sweetness of the sea breeze. He loved to write of the sea and his most characteristic touch was that of surpassing gentleness. In his last year the burden of other activity prevented him from attaining the perfection which is consequent upon talent and continued endeavor. So much for the poets. They were, strangely, more numerous than the writers of prose. For the latter class, however, Mr. Lynch in a large measure atoned. His sharp etchings in character, his Chestertonian facility in the episode and sketch, his philosophic analysis in his essays on Evil and History as Nonsense outdistanced the scope even of the unordinary writer. He was painstakingly accurate in everything he undertook, and the results were proportionately excellent. Complementing the work of Air. Lynch, serving as it were the necessary balance, were the artistic essays of Harold Connolly. Active in many organizations, this versatile journalist brought to the pages of the Monthly a neatness, a deft criticism which escaped the bounds of the purely literary and adventured into the fields of painting and music. He lent soundness and eclat and sophistication. In the difficult department of dramatic notes, William J. O’Neill assumed the mantle of John Walsh. An expert in stage management and direction, he could point out not only the value of the play as such, but also the relative assistance lent by externals. Confining himself entirely to dramatic criticism, he continued to improve his column as the year went on. But the moving spirit of the assemblage was the Edilor-in-Chief, Francis Connolly. His work gave substance and stature to the publication. Maturity was in his pen and a deep and abiding sympathy; a literary understanding that is the gift of association with the great literateurs of time was his. He was an essayist, primarily. His work will always be remembered as the product of a profound and scholarly intellect and he sits in the seat of his mighty and illustrious predecessors with a surpassing gracefulness. Thus we explain the personalities behind I he Monthly. •f 361 b The Ram Ed itors- in-C li ief Harold X. Connolly,’50 Riciiakd F.

'50 FRIDAY morning . . . and emerging from St. John’s Hall are representatives of each class . . . under their arms arc bundles of Rams ... in the class rooms there is an eager rush for the copies of the paper . . . another edition of the Ram has been released. I he Ram is the weekly newspaper at Fordham. Its function is to chronicle and preserve the events that occur on Old Rose Hill, to furnish, as it were, a running account of the doings of Fordham’s prominent sons, both those in the undergraduate ranks and those in the great body of its alumni. It is the current history of Fordham. Only those who have been connected with newspaper work can appreciate the tremendous work associated with running one. Many men of the Class of 1950 have borne on their shoulders this great task. Harold X. Connolly and Richard Calnan in their Senior year shared the honor of the Editorship. Because of their faithful and competent work in their first three years they were chosen to guide the Editorial destiny of the paper. The excellence of their work is attested in the neat make-up. pertinent editorial comment. and general good newspaper style the Ram has displayed under their guidance. Howard A. Seitz also was a tireless worker, too, in behalf of the Ram. In his Junior and Senior years he filled the post of Business Manager so well that not since its inception has the paper enjoyed such solid financial backing. Mr. Seitz built up an advertising clientele that grew with successive issues of the weekly. His putting of the business side of the Ram on a sound basis will be of inestimable value to the paper for years to come. bhe Sports Department rested easily in the hands of William F. Lynch. For three years Bill built up a sports style that in his Senior year enabled him to write one of the brightest, sparkling “Looking 1 hem Over” columns we have ever read. Phe Sports pages have always been a most popular feature: under Mr. Lynch’s guidance they reached their greatest heights. On the Editorial Board were many men from the Class of 1950. They were Philip H. Hollenbach whose articles for all his four years were authoritative and excellently written. His accounts of the doings of the Glee Club were especially fine: James 1). I vers who covered many of the important news events with a style worthy of any professional newspaperman; Daniel J. Kern and Joseph A. Howard who were most faithful and accurate chroniclers of happenings around the Campus. The important work of circulating the Ram was in charge of Charles Missack. who every week supervised the sending of the papers through the mails and to the various classes. Associated with him was Martin Lerhinan. On the news staff was another member of the class, Paul McGlone. 'Phe elaborate filing system of the Ram by which account was kept of what each man mentioned in the columns of the paper did while at college was in charge of Robert E. Welch, Reference Editor. The Ram then may be described as one of the leading collegiate weeklies of the country. Its editorial comment has often been reprinted in other college organs: its humor has been commended by many other exchange editors and its terse presentation of the news has kept other universities informed on the latest happenings at Fordham which happenings have been the source of similar activities on other campuses. On several occasions, colleges about to start a weekly paper have written to the Editor asking for advice on the essential qualities to incorporate in an ideal newspaper. Also, younger newspapers in amateur circles have sent copies of their editions to the Editors of the Ram, asking for constructive criticism. This the Ram has furnished upon many occasions. 3t 3 Y Glee Club Rev. Theodore T. Farley, SI. Moderator I)r. Frederic Joslyn ...................................Director Pmi.ii H.

At the beginning of the past season the prospects seemed none too bright lor the Club. Graduation, as usual, had depleted its ranks; this year it had taken a toll of twenty members. However, twenty new voices were chosen, and through determined effort ami constant practice attained to the excellence and quality of those whose places they filled. So that the season just completed is one of which all those interested in the success of the Fordham Glee Club may be proud. To the excellent direction ami musical ability of Air. Frederic Joslvn is due in no small degree the renown which the Glee Club enjoys. I hrough his efforts the organization has been brought enthusiasm and appreciation by a large audience. I he first public appearance was at the College of Alt. St. Vincent, where the numbers rendered were received with great pleasure and delight. On Lincoln’s Birthday the Glee Club journeyed to Lakewood. New Jersey to give a concert at Georgian Court College. All who made the trip carried away memories of a pleasant welcome and reception. It was the College of New Rochelle which next sponsored the (dee Club in a concert. ’I he participation of the Club in the annual Hoard of Directors Inter-Collegiate Glee Clul Contest, held at Carnegie Hall, gave further evidence that the Fordham Choral Society deserves to he ranked with the best college Glee Clubs of the country. The Radio proved to he another means of spreading a well-merited reputation. The high light of the season was. of course, the annual Town Hall concert. This was the climax to a most successful season. A well-balanced and well-rendered program was presented to a large and appreciative audience of music lovers. While the Director was accomplishing his task. Father Theodore T. Farley. S.J. was arranging a very tine and extensive list of concerts. Philip H. Hollenbach, '50, Chairman ot the Board of Directors, is no less deserving of praise for his work in the interests of the Club. James J. Lawless. 50. Charles J. .Missack, ’50, anil Joseph A. Doran, 50 as the Senior members ol the Board of Directors gave their whole-hearted co-operation in a united and successful effort to make the past season the most prominent one the Glee Club has known. The first appearance of the year was at the Mass of the Holy Ghost in the new University Chapel. The rendition of Rranchina’s Mass gave promise of a very fine musical season. Following soon upon this, the Glee Club gave its first concert at Good Counsel College, White Plains. The entire program was infused by Philip II. Hollenbach, 50 and John E. Kelly, 51 with exceeding charm. In May at the request of Trinity College we travelled to Washington. I). C., where with a concert that shall long live in the memory of the Capitol City the Fordham Glee Club brought its schedule to a most successful close. It is with a note of regret that the members of the Class of 1950 leave the Glee Club, which they have so long graced with their melody, and to whose success they have so materially contributed. -k ■ French Club Rasims G.

As usual, the beginnings were modest, yet the strong interest of the members more than compensated for any deficiency in numbers. From the very beginning talks were given, debates held, and meetings conducted in French. I lie second year of the club’s existence brought about a slight increase in membership and the pleasant task of becoming familiar with French continued. 1 hen was inaugurated the procedure of inviting prominent members of the faculty to deliver short talks in French to the members. Junior year brought about an important change in the club. Air. Basil D’Ouakil became faculty moderator and instituted an extensive campaign for enlargement of the club so that more Fordham men might enjoy the advantages to be gained through this organization. There are now fifty members in the club. { 36b Y Spanish Club Basile G. D'Ouakit,, jM.A. Moderator Robert A. Nkbot, ’52........................................President W.

Fordham University, known ofli- dally as the “Academia Espanola,” is now in its second year of existence as a Ford ham activity. I he club was organized in October 1928 and has on its roster fifty-five members of the Sophomore and Freshman classes. Its membership is limited to students of the college who have studied the Spanish language or are natives of some Spanish speaking country! The organization whose primary aim is to promote Spanish culture, is under the Moderatorship of Basile G. 1)Ouakil, M.A., professor of modern languages at Fordham. During its second year, in addition to its regular weekly meetings, luncheons and special meetings were held. At these special meetings, outside guests were invited to attend the meetings at which some person of prominence in the Spanish speaking world was introduced to the club ami its guests. The society sponsored a very successful piano recital anti lecture on the native music of the American continent by Professor Luis A. Delgadillo, Nicaraguan pianist of note. It also presented several members of the faculty and a Spanish journalist at its meetings. -•{ 307 £■• The Mendel Club Rev. Joseimi Assmith.S.J................ George E. Collins, ’51...............

Occasionally, men well known in the scientific world address the students during their regular meetings. In this way the students become lamihar with some ol the most important advances in modern science. Father Assmuth. S.J., the Faculty Director, and his two able assistants. Mr. Mark I Crowley.

In 1926 it was thought advisable, on account ol the large number ol Pennsylvanians who came to Fordham’s Halls of Learning, to form some society, which would serve to enable the members to become better acquainted with each other during school years and afford a foundation for enduring fellowship after graduation. With this end in view, the “Kevstoners” ol the Class ol 1927 drew up the Constitution of the Pennsylvania Club and elected Charles S. DeLaney, '27 its first President. Though still in its infancy the Club sponsored its first Spring Dance, which affair was attended with such success that it has become an annual event. This year the Pennsylvania Club held its dance during the Easter vacation at Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. It was a social triumph, which won the praise and commendation of all those who had the pleasure ol enjoying the festivities. So successful has this dance always been that it has come to take its place among Pennsylvania’s brightest events. Brooklyn-Long Island Club Rf.v. Chaki.es J. Deane.

Though a young organization, the club has a membership ot well over fifty, and it is expected that the end of the current year will see every student from Brooklyn and Long Island enrolled in the club. It is intended that the club will act as a stable point of contact between graduates, undergraduates, and prospective students residing in Brooklyn and Long Island. The most noteworthy activity ol the club was its first annual dance, held at the Hotel St. George in Brooklyn, on January thirty-first. This affair was a brilliant success and proved to be the social triumph ol the year. I he arrangements and choice of music and ballroom reflect great credit on the committee in charge, headed by Frank Gallagher. '31. “Red” Nichols, fresh from his Broadway opening in Strike up the Band,’ furnished the music and the Grand Ballroom. the largest in Greater New 'l ork, ami notable for the beauty of its lighting system, made a delightful and effective setting for the event.

For many years men from the Bav State have been coming in quest of their college training and have brought with them the ability that has become one of the boasts of Fordhani. We could mention many immortal Ford ham Alumni whose names have added glory to the history of the college. Vc can point out that the fame of these is not by any means overshadowing the deeds being performed by the present representatives from the home of the Cabots and Lodges. Major Cavanaugh m the fall of 1927 began a new era in Fordham’s football history. Fordham that year had the great unscored-on Freshman team which piled up a total of two hundred and forty points. I he make-up ol this team grew into the first unbeaten Varsity that ever represented the Maroon in the gridiron world. That unlorgetable team « : 1929 was largely composed ol boys from the Bay State. With the coming of the fall term the club continued the activity ot the preceding year. The lirst meeting was called by Father Deane, the Moderator of the Club, and nomination of officers for the ensuing year were made—the new officers elected were Matthew J. Connelly, ’50. President; William I. McMahon, ’31, Vice-President; lames A. Crane. 52. Treasurer: and I imothy A. O’Leary, ’31, Secretary.

Students Irom every section ol the Nutmeg State are bound together in one great purpose to foster Ford ham’s interest in Connecticut and Connecticut’s interest in Fordham. Irrefutable testimony of the success of the club is the fact that it has served as a model for all other state organizations, inasmuch as it was the first organization of its kind. I’nder the able direction of its moderator, the Reverend Dean, it has established and maintained a high standard of social perfection. I he enthusiastic manner in which the Annual Christmas Dance, hel • at Bridgeport, was received shows clearly that the club has gone far in the achievement of its end. As an ideal social unit it has been ardently supported and encouraged by the college. Added to this, the yearly increasing enrollment of students from Connecticut conclusively attests to its success in the past and guarantees its success in the future. 572 } New Jersey Club Rev.

A few years ago, members of the Senior Class at Fordham arranged fora meeting which was to be attended by all students of the college whose homes were in New Jersey. After meeting with an enthusiastic response, the Club began to function most successfully, and to Charles Gerlmrdt fell the honor of being elected first President. Under his efficient guidance, the organization prospered, ami its purpose was precisely stated in the Constitution that was drawn up. The Club was dedicated to the purpose of furthering the interest of Fordham in New Jersey, and of New Jersey at Fordham. Its members are proud of the fact that this purpose is being actualized, and under the leadership of Jim Mac-Isaac the roster of the Club has increased to sixtv-five. In December, 1929. the New Jersey Club held its second annual dance in Newark. The affair was a brilliant social success, and much credit is due to chairman Frank Dohn, and to Harry Joyce, Vic Brady, Martin Lcrhinan, and Herliert Neilan. as members ol the Committee, for the very effective way in which they handled the arrangements. Rev. Charles A. Deane. S.J.. was an honored guest at the dance, and the members ol the Varsity Football learn were also invited as guests of the Club.

Loos, ’50 Treasurer Ji st four years ago a small but enthusiastic unit of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps was inaugurated at Fordham. A goodly group of Freshmen chose to avail themselves of the opportunities, both physical and mental, offered by the course in military science and tactics. Colonel Clarence B. Ross, in command of the Fordham unit during the first two years of its existence, was responsible in great measure for keeping alive that determination for military advancement which was the firm possession of every cadet. When, at the end of the second year, Colonel Ross was recalled to Washington, for special duty in the War Department the entire corps fell a keen loss. His successor. Colonel Jay R. Hopkins, continued the work so capably begun, and immediately won the confidence and cooperation of every student officer and cadet. After two years of work in the basic course had Ijeen concluded, the advanced course was begun. It came to be composed of those members, who by their high standing and special qualifications, had manifested their aptitude for higher posts in the organized reserves. As they advanced in the knowledge of a soldier s technique. Colonel Hopkins was ever the guiding light, helping every man in his cheerful and unassuming manner. heeling the need for a closer and more enduring bond of union that would reach beyond their campus life, the cadets of the advanced course formed this Officers Club.

The past season was t lie most successful ever enjoyed by a Fordham Band. No football picture was complete until “Tony Pisani, with a military air, let! his array of sixty pieces, and sixty capable musicians, across the gridiron stripes, betokening the victory that was to follow. The Band made its first appearance at the St. Bonaventure game at Fordham Field, and thereafter was a welcome feature at every football contest. When the team travelled to Boston, the band was with them, and well did they merit the plaudits of the Bostonians by their splendid performance. The Class of 1950, il it was not represented bv great numbers, contributed much volume. “Bill Knowles, “Fritz” Crvsler. and “Bill” Pasquaricllo were sufficient to form the nucleus of any band, and a good nucleus it would be, loo. To “Joe” Gatti, of Junior, the band is much indebted lor the very proficient manner in which he performed the duties oi student-leader. And acknowledgment must here l e made of the industry and loyalty of the manager, George Collins and his assistants, Arthur Granieri anil Frank Waldie. In closing, let us pay a tribute to the Moderator. Father Mulqueen, and Lieut.

We have long suspected that the , _ world was round and that should we but wait for it to | circle in the proper manner we would in due course of events sit on top of it. And so it was. After many a weary year Fordham has emerged from the doldrums . a r of the football world, has conquered with a bang, and JLd has dissected the East into many parts. A glorious record at last, with nary a defeat to mar our Maroon escutcheon—that is the story briefly! The graduates have written in. and the records been examined, but the verdict is that it has been the year par excellence. More than one expert has ranked the Rose Hill eleven with Pittsburgh for the championship of the Eastern sector anti of course we agree. All the pessimists have been discomfited by the doings of a great team under the leadership of Major Cavanaugh and the Captain Tony Siaxo all-American center 'Pom Siano. •}•• 580 - Jan is through the line T R people who swamped Ford ham Field for the football opener against West-I minster on September 28th little recked that big things were ahead of Cavanaugh s great machine. The Maroon eleven had not been publicised to any great extent and many were the prophesies of woe to arise on the eve of an extremely happy fall of football. Westminster, with a fairly strong aggregation that had tied Duqucsnc the previous year for the leadership ol the Pennsylvania tri-slate conference, was the first to feel the heavy heels of Captain Siano and company. Fordham'scandidate for All-America honors lead his mates to a 43-0 victory, evidencing in the doing many intimations of immortality.” The famous forward passing combination of Fisher and Murphy started things with a touchdown via the air route.

The gridders l’roin Christy Matthewson’s ohl hang-out allow Ford ham to run up a total of five touchdowns while they are good enough not to score any themselves. Cavanaugh continued his custom ot utilizing two lull elevens on the field and both were effective—in fact some thought the second was better than the first. The visitors put up a nice brand of play to hold the Maroon to 15 points in the first canto but exhaustion followed this temporary resisting of the very effective butting power of the Ram. Murphy. McMahon. Tobin, Zaleski and Conway took turns in carrying the pigskin over the last chalk marker and that was that.

The underdogs a’poor, poor Fordham team -travel over to the Polo Grounds, growl wildly for the better part of an hour, and promptly tear the Violet footballers to many pieces. New York I niversitv had acquired the aggravating habit of knocking the Maroon for a row ol pins in the several years past but how the worm did turn—and before a 60,000 crowd of the city football Ians, quite the largest turnout of the campaign. Fordham threw a lot of forward passes and Fordham men caught nearly all of them. N. Y. U. threw some as well but Fordham men caught all ol them too. Fisher, Elccwicz. Conway, and Murphy charged over for touchdowns. The Violet tried valorously, made much progress at times, but yielded again and again whenever threatening. The enemy were reduced to something very much resembling pygmies. The score, be it repeated, was 26.0.

The score was 7-0 and our 7 points (yes. we scored the seven points) were not registered until the final quarter was well on its way. The triumph over N. Y. I', had its inevitable reaction and the Maroon put on a sluggish exhibition of football to just nose out the Crusaders. But— and this is the fourth time the statement has been made —the latter went scoreless and while the opposition to date had amassed the overwhelming sum of () points we had gathered 109 of our own. A final Fordham flurry cinched the game. Murphy made 45 yards on a pass from Fisher and Janis took a lateral toss for the last few yards around the end of the line. 584 y Peck pulls 'em down min ,n ■iiiuauj I an in an 111 Bum ■ i mi an ms ni n ■innaii ilia ii in ma u man iitaiiin M mail m n lai 1111 if in i a 11 man ma u iiTalWna •a t imia hi nai im a in n an i n a I in am FORDHAM 6 1)AVIS-ELKIXS 6 Pok tlie first time in the schedule to date the Maroon met ' up with a good deal of trouble and several things of more or less historic import came to pass. Ford ham did not win the game, being held to the first of two ties, and nurabilc diclu, the enemy had finally scored upon us to the extent of a single touchdown. The home team is to be scored upon twice again before things are concluded lor another season and all three tallies are to come via the forward pass route. Not a single team will be able to carry the ball over through that line of stalwarts. The crowd at the Polo Grounds was treated to the sight of some really great football players on the Davis-Elkins aggregation. Warren was one of the best the season developed and Rengle was another. The Maroon was tested to its utmost to hold these scintillants in check. Murphy took a pass from Fisher in the second quarter to run 25 vards for Fordham’s onlv tally. 3 Harry Kloppenberq 85 I he I’uwt if IW tlon tiiki{kin we iinally dispense with all Alphonse and Gaston tactics, weary of playing tic games ol football, and administer a defeat to the second Jesuit rival on the schedule. It was another close call, though once again the result was far too close for comfort. This time a spectacular (and a happy) ending marked the football activities of the Maroon over a lall week end. Boston College, another undefeated team (they had not been beaten since 1927), almost wrought havoc with our undefeated record and lead by a 6-0 score throughout the tussle up in Fenway park until the tinal 7 minutes ol play. Then it happened as it should happen. Fordham was never closer to losing all season. But the lor-ward passing pair of Fisher to Murphy was not found wanting. Picculcwicz. with about six minutes remaining, hurtled through the line tor 15 yards. Fisher received the ball from Siano. poised .4 f fora moment. and threw a beautiful toss to Murphy. Pete Wisniewski The pass and the ball game were welcome. i - St h Breaking up the plai P i,ouv has its sore spots and we proceed to hit upon one of them. We have just emerged from a draw verdict with Davis-KIkins, an undeieated team itself, and now entrench ourselves further in the iniquitous habit by submitting to the same thing at the hands of an inferior W est Virginia eleven. Oh, it was sad, it was sad. No less than seven times did Fordham march into scoring positions and exactly seven limes did it march back. But let us tell you of a really dreadful ending after which not a soul lived happily. We had thrown away some 50 points by dint of hard luck and poor generalship but must cap it all, after some splendid football in the last month, with an unhappy gesture. There were 8 minutes to go when the home team started a sally from its own territory, battering away vigorously until the 2 yard line was reached. Substitutes fly back and forth. A plunge follows and there is less than a half yard to go. Whereat some official or other blows a whistle. The game is over . . .

Tony Siano kept adding to Ins tackle record. 26 points were scored in the first quarter alone. It was all very easy. And there is only one more tussle ahead, but various people are saying many pessimistic things about it. Bucknell has beaten almost everybody.

However, they were a bit more successful in the next quarter and after being pushed back from the ten yard stripe to midfield a long 50 yard pass. Fisher to .McMahon, accounted for the first six-pointer. Only a minute later a Bueknell kick was blocked. Murphy wasted no time in scurrying across the goal-line around left end for the final score.

The situation was not a pleasant one. In the preceding season a great Fordham court team had massaged the Eastern sector cruelly and very little opposition had been offered. A really great quintet won the championship ot that part of the country and having been champions proceeded to do that very nasty thing called graduating. Of a squad of ten. composing two sterling quintets eight went the way of all students, two veterans and a group of freshman . remained, and that group went merrily along to amass a very creditable record of 15 victories and five defeats. Now that may seem to be a not too enviable record, what with the campaigns of triumphs that have been the portion of so many Maroon quintets, but we run on to mention a “slew” of circumstances. Two of the five defeats were incurred by vour famous “slim margin of a single point,” and another went to the mighty Pitt aggregation in a hectic extra period battle. The latter came to New York highly touted as the paragon of basket-ball teams but was exceedingly fortunate to stagger Pennsylvania ways with a victory that was taken in an extra five minutes of play. Dartmouth and City College (alas, alas) were the two splendidly generous fives who walked off with the honors by one point victories. But if is a very sad thing to speak of losses and both generals and journalists avoid the pernicious habit. Let us on to brighter things. Now there was that victory over Yale bv a 30-16 count. That, we thought, was very nice although “little AI hie Booth” received a i 39) tremendous disappointment. But at tliat he would have received a tremendous jolt possibly, together with his grid compatriots, had he met our own heroes on the chalklined field. But that is beside the point tor the time, for we also took quite a few other teams into camp on the basketball floor. Much scoring was done while all this was going on. Mr. George Mulligan of freshman tame took high scoring honors throughout the winter season with a grand total ot 111' points. George distinguished himself in more ways than one. A sterling running guard who was handed the very arduous task f filling the shoes of one Frank Dougherty, the sophomore scintillated throughout the 18 game stretch, made good on a total of 41 field goals and 50 fouls, and did not allow a lot of forwards to make a lot of points. But there were others who showed a basketball trick or two in more than one game. Red Weiss was one ot the sensations of the year at lm ward anil amassed a sum of 104 markers to take second honors. Henry Zaleski was right on his heels with 88 points and for his excellent performance was elected to the captaincy for the coming basketball campaign. Henry has been hard at it lor the last three years and should do well in Captain Morgan Anelim’s place. The latter, one of the two veterans to spend another year in a Maroon uniform, succeeded Dan Reardon at the standing guard post and the laurels are forthwith handed to him as the person who just about made your Fordham defense. . . . Hurley, the neatest dribbler since the days of Johnnv White, turned in a record of 24 field goals and 10 fouls for 58 points. . . . Johnny Hayes, a fine shooter and as great a passer as there is. was right behind with an even 50. ... I hose were the big shots.' Not only was Fordham dethroned from her wonted position on the top of the Kastern sectional ranking but the same circumstance unhappily was duplicated in the Metropolitan area. St. John's, threatening a usurper’s role for some years back, finally climaxed its long threat bv annexing the city title and with it a line claim to sectional honors. Fordham did not fare so well although it hammered out a .500 percentage in four games with local rivals. One ol the crowning features of the schedule was the great 23-21 victory over Columbia on the latter’s home court. Later the Lions succeeded in capturing the championship ot the Kastern Intercollegiate League from a group of teams that if ever good is now decadent. But the Maroon has long had a penchant for trimming the leaders of that league. It really should be done, and always is. We also beat out Manhattan by another two point margin. 24-22 while both New York University and City College executed a solle-jace to trim the home team in a pair of games. The Lavender, however, found the task none too easy and. true to form, wormed away with a one point triumph. It hurt; ouch, it hurt. Having accomplished the difficult (ontologicallv) task of not starting at the beginning we go back to the beginning at once. The season was initiated gloriously with a 32-16 victory over the quintet of St. Francis. Brooklyn. George Mulligan and Joe Baker cooperated in bringing home the first piece of bacon to our Alma Mater while the people from the other side of the bridge were pretty much at a loss in a scoring way. The Alumni, with their various corporations of several years' extension, come next and suffered their wonted humiliation by a 44-14 count. lust contemplate the thought of White, Reardon, Landers, Rohan et al. being restricted to the prodigious total of 14 points. But as a matter of fact it was not so much a matter of corporations as it was the very excellent basketball of the varsity that upset the graduates. I he next two battles were varying in result. In the one the Maroon produced a splendid victory over the Blue ol Yale and in the other a big Green team from Dartmouth upset the well known dope by winning a 20-19 game from the Kelleher forces. I he Green was not so green this particular evening and Just managed to i 592 y bring sorrow to the hearts of Fordham men for the first time . The excitement of the battle was heightened by a dispute at the end of the game between the rival timekeepers but even an extension of a few seconds did not save the day for us. Came the Christmas holidays and on their conclusion the varsity resumed its winning ways with a win over the University of Baltimore by a 23-21 tally. Syracuse followed and once again the result was sad for one of the strongest quintets in these United States (they lost but one game), humbles Fordham. 55-15, by the biggest margin a Fordham team had incurred in some four years. That was all too bad but for a stretch thereafter we became worms and turned with a vengeance. In the first place there was Colgate where Hurley, Haves, and Conroy joined to win a handsome victory on the upstate court by a ten point difference. Things went just as well against a trio of others. St. Joseph’s, F. and M., and Rutgers. The first made the trip from Philadelphia with every anticipation of dismaying her Jesuit sister team but the latter fought hard to win by 22-20. Franklin and Marshall went the same route but by a slightly more comfortable score, 28-22. One ol the finest scoring exhibitions ol the season took place in the Rutgers contest when Captain Anglim and his mates walked away to the tune of 56-17 with the decision. We come to the jflorv of the most momentous event on the court programme, the tussle with the much vaunted five from the University of Pittsburgh. For some years the Panthers had been setting the basketball world by the ears with their wondrous deeds. A match with our own great team had been attempted last year but the arrangements had failed and the matter had been put to rest until the coming of the last campaign. Then uprose in their might a group of Maroon sophomores and mighty lucky were the visitors to run home with a victory. Charlie Hyatt evidenced all his greatness but it was only at the end of an extra period of play that his mates won. 51-27. The count was tied at 25-25 at the end of the regular time, due to some valiant efforts on the part ol George Mulligan and Babe Hurley for the most part when a very nice shot by Hyatt finally settled the issue. It was the third loss of the year but it was also a game that made our hearts warm. The varsity continued its average of games won and lost by winning live of the seven games remaining on the list. Unfortunately for all concerned both losses were to the two local quintets already mentioned. City College and N. Y. U. However all five others fell with much verve and elan on the part of the Bronx shooters. Now there was Johns-Hopkins, to begin with, Johns-Hopkins did not have a chance and ye varsity trounced them very, very easily. Red” Weiss played one of his finest games of the year to annex a high total of 14 points, which was more than sufficient to insure a happy result. Came the next basketball evening and Columbia, as narrated, submitted to a 25-21 defeat at the hands of Fordham. It all happened before a large crowd in the Lion’s gym and because of that, was enough to make all feel happy (at least all who frequent the home campus and their many relatives and friends). Now Muhlenberg had a fine quintet but now Fordham had a better quintet, and as the philosophers would conclude, we won a ball game from Muhlenberg. The score was 38-25. A much to be regretted event followed when City College made one of those annoying last period rallies to snatch a decision from the voracious Maroon baskctccrs. Weiss was once again the big gun in the home team’s offensive and nearly managed to win the struggle all by his lonesome self, with a sum of 15 points out of his team’s total of 25. Fordham had a comfortable lead with minutes to go when the Lavender began finding the basket, took a one point lead, and froze the ball with much success for the remainder of the game. It was the second time in three years that the victors had accomplished the feat of winning {. 59a F by that famous margin we have discoursed upon at length. Well, we shall stoically wail as is our custom tor the next year. There arc still three games to be played out and we proceed to play them historically as they were in tact. We begin with the tale of another and filth and last defeat of the year, that with New York University. It was by a 27-17 score and the Violet evinced as strong a basketball game as we hail seen in some time. But after all it was the first victory she had achieved in any sport against the Maroon in more than a year. And then again there was some consolation due them after that more than occasional source of Fordham glee which took the form of a 26-0 triumph over the Hall of Fame grid team. In the next to the last game ol the year the varsity rolled up its biggest score of the year when a Catholic University team played the role of victim in a game that went to us bv a 55-17 decision. Many shooters scored many points. Zaleski in about fifteen minutes of play rang up a total of 15. W eiss was only 2 points behind with 15, and George Mulligan made 8 of his own. And finally the annual closing fray with the Green and White of Manhattan. That event is usually the occasion ot much not too gentle bickering between the boys” and so it was. The Maroon finally won itself a 2-1 22 verdict but the Van Cortlandtcrs waxed brave in the final few minutes of play to throw quite a scare into the Kelleher forces. Johnny Hayes scored 7 points in a few minutes in the first half and that was the high total of the evening. Morgan Anglim was the recipient of many cheers as he started a splendid last game in a Maroon uniform and that was that. The season was over. We had won 15 games. We had lost o. Of ten members of the first and second teams 9 still remained. We are therefore confident. In fact we exude it. We warn all concerned that Fordham is to have a happy ime in its 1950-51 basketball campaign. ’ • Baseball Si uad On The Diamond l OROifam s 1929 Baseball ream gained for itself the enviable title of Metropolitan Champions. Nevertheless there is no doubt that the team would have risen to greater glory, had it not been handicapped by such dismal weather. No less than seven games were cancelled because of rain, anti had the team gained the experience and finesse which would have come from playing these, it would have climbed to the top of the college world. As it was the team won eleven games and lost five. Two victories over N. V. U. and a shutout victory over Boston College were the highlights of the season. Coach Coffey had a fine squad from which to pick his line-up. lack LaBorne, Bill Lochwing, Yin Clancy anti Joe Sabatini were veterans from the previous year’s infield. Dave Coleman, Herb Neilan, Dan Reardon anti Babe Kgan were back tor another year in the outfield. Behind the bat Phil Leibl, the “Old Reliable ’, and Nick Landers were fighting to get the call. Captain Bob Cooney and John Murphy were getting their arms in shape for a vigorous season. The squad was augmented by Dee Maynard, Charlie Sbeerin. 1 lormidas Aube, Neil Andrews, Pat Foley and Jack Ryan of the previous year’s freshman outfit. The team had some fine weather for its spring practise and Coach Coffey had the men at top form raring to go. It was not until the fourth scheduled game, however, that the team was able to show its ability. Rain washed out the St. John’s game at Brooklyn, the Yillanova game at Philadelphia, and the Alumni game at Fordham. Yillanova brought its team to Fordham, and Captain Bob Cooney, opening the season, pitched a shutout. I he Fordham batters piled up eight hits for six runs and played errorless ball in the field. 1 he hats of Maynard Jack La Borne A 395 Lie hi safe at home ami Sahatini were much In evidence during the game. Rain again appeared on the scene and the Columbia and Princeton games were washed away. The Columbia game, however, was postponed to a later date. Rain compelled the team to remain idle even on some of the days on which it should have been practicing and gaining the necessary conditioning. Thus when the team made its New England trip, it met with two disappointing defeats. Boston College triumphed over the Maroon. 5-4. John Murphy in his first game of the season pitched good hall, but a run in the last inning gave the game to B. C. In th e second game of the trip, Loud, Vale pitcher, limited the Fordham batters to six hits and Yale defeated Fordham, 5-2. The inability of the Fordham boys to hit in the pinches was costly. 1 he postponed Columbia game was played at Fordham and the spectators were treated to as pretty a pitchers battle as has been seen on a college diamond in years. Charlie Corny and Burke of Columbia limited our batters to four hits and one run. but Big John Murphy startled the collegiate baseball work! by shutting out Columbia with three hits, and tying the intercollegiate record for strike-outs by fanning sixteen oi the Lion batters. Big league scouts started to take notice. Seton Hall appeared next on the schedule and ( oach Coffey put his Sophomore star pitcher on display. Neil Andrews pitched wonderful ball ami limited the Jersevitcs to two hits. lack La Borne starred in the field and his timely hitting aided the Maroon in wining. 5-1. Need we mention that the Fordham-Colgale game was cancelled on account of rain. A large crowd was present as Fordham visited Ohio Field to meet its arch rival, N. V. L . Bob Cooney started on the mound for the Ram cohorts, but was replaced by Murphy, when it became Tony Sahatini 59b Maynard lines if on evident that the Violet players enjoyed his pitching. Murphy threw his famous strike-out ball all afternoon at the N. V. L . batters and fanned ten of them. Maynard’s home-run and Clancy’s two three baggers brought delight to the Maroon rooters and victory to the team. The score was 5-3. The aforementioned rain intervened to prevent the Rutgers and Duke games, scheduled to be played at Fordham. The team then travelled to Worcester on May 3rd for its annual game with the Cross. Hebert pitched masterful ball for the Crusaders and Fordham bowed in defeat, 4-2. La Borne’s bat was the big noise for Fordham. St. John’s of Brooklyn visited Fordham and were crushed by Jack Coffey’s team. Neil Andrews hung up his second victory ol the season, as Sabatini, Egan and Clancy drove home the runs. Holy Cross made their appearance at the Maroon field and handed our boys another setback. Hebert again twirled for the Cross and administered a shutout to the Ram forces. Holy Cross hit Cooney and Murphy hard to win, 6-0. From that time on Fordham seemed to have hit its real stride. Six straight triumphs were added to the Maroon list as Fordham showed the form that stamped them as one of the best teams in the East. St. Bonaventure s fell before Cooney’s slants as Dave Coleman led the hitters in a 6-1 triumph. Aube pitched his first game of the season as Fordham mowed down C.C.N.Y. Bill Loehwing’s hitting featured. On May 18 Ford ham’s annual excursion to West Point was a complete success, as the ball team scored over Army, 7-0. Murphy starred on the mound, while Sabatini, Mac Isaac A- 97 Saba lint at bat Maynard and Clancy came through with timely hits. Cooney administered defeat to Bucknell, for the fourth consecutive victory and the third consecutive shutout. The Fordham hatters rang out twenty hits for seventeen runs. Fordham’s fourth straight shutout was against the strong B. C. nine. Coach Coffey used Ins sophomore star Hormidas Auhe. on the mound, anil he proceeded to dazzle the heavy B. C. hitters with as fine an exhibition of pitching as one could wish tor. He allowed hut three hits. Babe Kgan had a gala day at bat with four hits, while Aube established his ability as a hitter with a smashing double and triple. On Memorial day X. Y. L . came to town and departed with a 12-2 trouncing. Captain Bob Cooney hung up his last victory as a Maroon pitcher. There was no stopping the Fordham batters anil LaBorne, Coleman, Clancy, Maynard, anil Sabatini banged with ease. The season closed with a defeat at the hands of the X. Y. A.C. I he Fordham pitchers could not hold the heavy hitters of the clubmen. Coleman. Cooney, Reardon, Clancy, Kgan. Liebl. Landers and Murphy had played their last game for the Maroon. A bright outlook is forecast for next season with so many valuable men left with us. John Murphy and Bob Cooney have departed into the big leagues, but the showing o! the sophomores, Aube and Andrews, bolds lorth great hope for the future. And we are sure that the bats of Maynard. LaBorne. Sheerin. Sabatini. Neilan, Loehwing and Klcewicz will cause great worry to opposing pitchers. I 'f L ) i A'| % Joe Kraft i 398 • The J ar.fiI} Track Si uad On the Boards 'CV i dham lias not been in the (rack limelight for some years although her Metropolitan anti Province teams have been carting away all the medals with Just a little disheartening consistency. However there were redeeming features during the indoor campaign on the boards. Two or three good varsity men in the individual events, a fine relay quartet and. par excellence, a really great middle distance man among the Freshmen. The graduating class fairly monopolized the team race with Simons. O’Shea. Farley, and Denzer scintillating throughout a busy campaign. The first named demonstrated his prowess as one of the best quarter milers in this section of the country time and gain against the leading anchor men of the neighboring colleges. The quartet initiated a very nice season against some of the local aggregations by taking a lirst place in the Columbus Council Games in Brooklyn. A week later Farley. O’Shea. Hurley, and Simons repeated the trick in the American Legion Games. Up in Boston the Maroon ran away with Boston College. Perhaps its best performance of the season occurred in the Millrose meet when the home talent scampered off with the verdict against such competition as New Hampshire. Northeastern, anil Manhattan. Individual performances of note were chalked up by Messrs. Pete Killclea, Gerald McGrath, Johnny Janis who finished second to Sol Forth. Intercollegiate hurdle champ, over in the Crescent A. C. meet, George Simons, anil McCluskev but of course McCluskev. Not to mention Johnny Janis once again, a star halfback of Major Cavanaugh who was also good enough to qualify for the Hurdles in the National Indoor Junior Championships. I here is a future for the Maroon on the boards since there are many up-and-comcrs in the underclass ranks. George Simons ■{ 399 Y 7 he Shimming Sguad M aroon Natators U'ordiiam had an aggregation of natators that was probably its best since the 1 inception ol the swimming sport on the campus. However the task it imposed upon itself in facing possibly the two best teams in this section of the country was a hit too burdensome for it. Yale had a magnificent team that was accorded by all the experts as “the Team” in these parts while Army was almost as high in sec tional ranking and to both of these the varsity, captained by Johnny Lyttle, 50. lost meets. Of a total of live meets the Maroon dropped three and lost two, though one of them, upon which the Metropolitan championship hinged, was captured by Columbia bv a 51-51 score according to the technicalities ot swim scoring. But for that one misadventure Fordham fared admirably against the remainder of its local rivals. Both City College and New York University incurred defeats at the hands of the home team. The match with the Lions was a hectic affair, the verdict going to the latter though the score was deadlocked at the end of the evening's excitement. A victory in the relay event for our opponents was the deciding factor, and even that was lost only by the proverbial touch. At more distant points our successes were not so tremendous. Yale was an easy conqueror by a 47-15 decision. Army out-swam the Maroon at West Point to conclude the season in none too happy style. Gus Harms is handed all the laurel wreaths in our possession for his handsome work throughout the strenuous schedule. However, appreciation has already been meted out to him. for the lettermen agreed on Gus for the new captain during the 1951 campaign. Captain Lyttle and Neal Weed, both of the graduating class, scintillated in the sprints and on the relay. Scheel proved himself the most brilliant Fordham man in the sprint events. Johnny Lyttle 4(K) The Tennis Team The Racqueteers Vl HILF. far from poor, the 1929 tennis history does not read in the same impressive fashion as did that of the preceding year when the Rose Hill racquet wicldcrs annexed the Metropolitan championship without their Maroon escutcheon being marred by so much as a single defeat. Led by Harry King the 1929 aggregation compiled a .500 percentage of victories and losses. St. John's was a double victim and Brooklyn Poly furnished the third holocaust. Columbia, Army, and City College managed to defeat the home team. I he season started auspiciously enough with a triumph over St. John s of Brooklyn by a close 4-5 verdict to be followed immediately after by another over Brooklyn Poly by a decisive 7-1 count. Thereafter fate looked the other way and gloom commenced when the capable Columbia racqueteers whitewashed Ford-ham to the tunc of a 7-0 score. Came another victory over the Brooklyn saints and then both Army and C. C. N. V. gathered in the laurels in meets by the respective counts of 7-2 and 4-5. And that was that. We had won three and had lost three. Harry King, Maroon captain, was the scintillating light of the season for the Maroon. In three of the six meets Harry performed the very creditable feat of emerging a double singles winner as well as distinguishing himself in the doubles part of the game. The final verdict of the Army meet happened to be 5-2 and both of Ford ham’s markers were due to the eftorts of King m the singles. That was not all for he duplicated the trick against both St. John’s and Brooklyn Polly. But there are others. Vic Brady ’50, for instance, was one of the really capable doubles men on the team and for his fine work was awarded the captaincy for the next season. Bill Sleekier and Sid Barrett put on a show or two in the fine art of the doubles and Dermody managed to make his presence most effective in both singles and doubles. I Vic Bit a my 4 401 b The Rifle learn The Ford ham Nimrods POHDHAM has not hail many rifle teams, in fact not since the inception of an 1 R. O. I . C. unit was the Maroon treated to so rare an organization—its birthday three years back. But like Napoleon and his army, since then we have made much progress, so much so that in the current year the Fordham shooters, among other things, annexed the Second Corps Area Championship. Shooters of the calibre of Kdge, who is captain. Porcclli. Reynolds, Ryan and Xullmcycr seem to have known where such a thing as a bull’s eye was to be located at will anti not at random. Early m the year City College managed to take the measure of the local unit by a close count, 659 to 654. Porcclli, whose record was most impressive throughout the season, rolled up an impressive total of 154 and his team mate. Edge, was right on his heels with 126 hits. Sadly enough in a previous meet with the New York Stock Exchange Fordham had rolled up enough points to have beaten the Lavender but the day of January 10 was not a Maroon day. But then again there was the day of January 24 when the local talent turned about, the Fordham gunmen plastering the big guns from Clarendon by a 411-524 score, as is quite evident from the figures an easy time was had in subduing the strangers. Porcclli again amassed a very respectable total ol 89 points out of a possible 100 for the best record ol the dual meet. Another and even more pleasing victory was that over our perpetual rival from the Heights, none other than New York University. Now there could have been nothing nicer than a victory over New York I Diversity. 1 he score was very close, 624 to 61 1. This time Edge came through for the second time to lead the scorers and in the doing of it hit the target exactly 128 times. However he was closely pressed bv another pair of Fordham men, Ryan with 126 and Reynolds with 122. Things have been taking a happy turn on the home firing range. I he Maroon shooters should soon be taking their places with the national top-notchers. i 402 Y Cross-Count ; 'earn The Golfers i 403 • • fhe Letter Winners of the Class of 1950 Senior Cheerleader John Faulkner John Cannella Herbert Neilan Football Roger Sen lly Valentine Meeii n, Manager Morgan Anglim Basketball Samuel Scanlon Thomas Re.

In all fairness, however, the public might be informed of the extenuating circumstance that the cubs played but two games and with such a limitation could hardly have l ccn expected to win more than they did. Two teams felt the wrath ol their ollensive on the chalk-lined field, the Lafayette Freshmen who fell to the tune of a 26-0 count and the C. C. N. Y. Junior Varsity, the latter suflering a far worse fate at the lighter end of a 4o-0 score. For the first time in some years the first year men did not put on display their usual quota of big men but the attack assumed a new character with a crew of speedy boys of not too much poundage taking care of things. Dinnv McNamara, former star quarterback under Major Cavanaugh at Boston College lor lour years, took over the coaching burden and compliments are due him for the obvious signs of the careful pruning to which his charges were subjected. It the Frosh were restricted in their schedule they received more than enough work in stacking up against the varsity daily on Fordham field in a manner far from being to their discredit. Both Hiker Joy and McNamara, alter their scouting forages, had plenty of apt material on which to impress a weekly store of enemy plays. More important perhaps is the question of the big guns among the grid youngsters. Well, there was Zapustas, probably the most talented backfield man among them and a runner who was being pushed by all the experts right into a varsity berth. Unfortunately the big, rangy ball carrier played right into the hands of Dame Misfortune with the result that he suffered a broken leg in an accident which possibly may render him hors de combat for the coming season. But there was more than one star. Add to an impressive list the names of Brown and McDonald, excellent forward passers Shimshock, a fine back, Edwards, a fast end, and Clark and Reillev other good linemen. But flu king pin of the forward wall protectors was Murphy. This bunch has a future. 405 he I'reshman ■Si uad On the Court ’ Pis true l vit tis not a pity that the freshmen have been making athletic history 1 in the past year in more fields than one. Now there was in the first place an excellent grid outfit that encountered an amount ol opposition that is termed by the highbrows nit. And that was immediately followed bv as good a basketball quintet as the Maroon first year men have vaunted in a tew years. 1 he Kellener future prospects engaged in a total of 15 games and ol the 15 games exactly 15 went into the winning column. The other two were a trille sad for one was dropped by your traditional margin of a single point to Loughlin High. C. S. A. L. champions, and the other to Roosevelt High by a 21-16 verdict. In the list of victories are included the best of the prep school talent of New oi l; and three of the local cub fives. The season uncovered more than one prospect for varsity days ahead. I here was Bill Putzer, tor instance, who led the Frosh scorers with a handsome total of 65 points out of the impressive sum of 580 garnered by the team. Not to mention Jerry Radice, who points ahead with good reason to a varsity berth, and who was right behind the leader with a total of 2 points. Johnny Byrne, a tall, wiry forward, made 54. Edwards. Dugan, and Hine were not in the background while all this scoring was being done and more than once put on some really big-time basketball for the home fans. There is again the ever persistent rumor that the varsity never had much the better of the argument when your freshman opposed them in daily practice struggles. If their brand of play in preliminary games was an indication ol anything we would refuse to be too skeptical. There were victories over St. Michael’s, former Eastern Catholic High School Champions, the City College Junior Varsity, the N. V. C. cubs. Manhattan frosh. Textile. Stuyvesant. and Horace Mann. Not all of them were easy, but at that some of the totals were rather respectable. For instance, they beat 1 rinity by a 54-6 score. And they beat Riverdale by a 58-19 score. And they beat New Rochelle by a 57-9 score. All of which was very commendable. { 4 K, y The earling Tracksters Jake kbkh had an ambitious baml oi youngsters to handle Irom the very inception of the indoor track campaign and even an old hand like the former Olympic trainer was hard put to it to cope with the enthusiasms of the first year men. Even the varsity runners had to “leg it” with much vim, vigor, and elan lest they he put to shame by the incoming talent. There were many capable performers but we can hardly wait until we come to the story of one Mr. Joseph McCluskey. Now there was a runner for vou- and we use the past tense for no good reason at all for Joe McCluskey will see a few more seasons at Fordham. The Freshman, in the short space of a few months, made a brilliant record for himself and according to the experts is headed for the Olympics- -and who shall say them nay. Joe won his first distance race five years ago when in high school and when carrying around the tremendous burden of 88 pounds. He has grown a bit since and in the last year here are a few championships he has tacked on to his belt: Metropolitan Indoor Two-Mile, National Indoor Junior Two-mile and Freshman Intercollegiate Cross-country. Add to that a corking mile race in the Freshman Inter-Collcgiatc medley relay in the startling time of 4.19 and you have an adequate idea of what this young chap has been doing. Joe lent a most dramatic touch to his already brilliant list of triumphs on the boards when, right down in Madison Square Garden and right before the eyes of more than a few thousand who proceeded to yell their respective heads off for the plucky youngster, he ran away with the National Senior Indoor two mile championship of this great country of ours. Joe started to sprint away from the field five laps from the finish and never stopped until he pulled up at the tape some 40 yards ahead of his nearest competitor. i A07 - The Maroon Forever Though songs the world may know, men, There is none can match the tune.

They weren’t missed until we started to publish this work and then they pretended to be insulted and they wouldn't pose for us. We are very sorry. But you know how those things are; especially if you have a little You know .... Classes N I O R It is almost four years now since we first came to Boredom. What freshmen we were. There had never before been a class of freshmen that had the wit, humour, nonchalance or athletic prowess that we displayed. Never had a freshman class shown such scholastic ability. There had never been such a combination of sterling men in any class in the college. In fact superlatives could go on endlessly. Ours was the first freshman class that the college ever had. It was opened that year. Tragedy and comedy played the song of our college life. Probably the most profitable course that we took in freshman was in pill pool. And unfortunately the profit all went to the iniquitous wretches who taught us. We finally managed to get into sophomore but conditions were such that it was difficult to stay there and many of our brelhern thought that they might as well take the iob in the insurance house then as to wait to be thrown out in junior. What with mid-terms and finals and monthly exams anti province examinations, sophomore was one unbroken round of gaiety. Then came junior. W ell you know how juniors are. They are so cute when they’re that age. Class meetings occupied most of the time but the sages tell us that there were actually three or four lectures in between the making of such momentous decisions as whether the rings should he made to lit the girl friends or the girl friends fed to fit the rings. Then there was senior. Dignity—suavitx—social grace! Dances—Dates Discussion and now and again a minute or two of study. Senior year as most ol you are aware is divided into lour parts. Thanksgiving vacation. Christmas vacation. Raster vacation and involuntary vacation (ask the man who had a couple). In between vacations we are allowed to congregate at the school and start from there to wherever we are going. J U N I O R As every one knows junior is the year ol committees. W e made a name for ourselves that will ring down through the ages. I he work of the committees was greatly expedited by the kind dictate of the faculty that there would be no dances.since most of the committees were dance commit fees. I he class distinguished itsell also in its selection ol a president. Here is a man of renown that is unrivalled. In luture years the outside world will ring with his praise even as these academic walls rang with it this year.

S E •4 410 s o II o M O R Our reunion at the beginning of sophomore was marked by the large number of faces that bad been tanned at the fashionable seaside resorts and the large number of voices that bad grown deep and melodious shouting, Want ice lady?” Our first duty was to organize a vigilante squad, our second to forget about this hazing business. The thanksgiving vacation was notable by reason of the fact that it was then for the first time that Sonny Bov Blue (sophomore president for the last thirty-six years) found out that turkey isn't all neck. In the first two weeks of December an epidemic of brain fag seemed imminent among our class but our professors were equal to the emergency and forbade exercise in cross word puzzles thus making sure that the brains of the class would be used not at all. President of Sophomore R E S H M A N You are no doubt surprised that there is no picture ot the president of the freshman class. This is due to the fact that the class didn't elect anybody president. This unfortunate oversight on the part of the class was caused by failure of the notice of the election to reach them. This was caused by the fact that there wasn't any freshman class in the first place. Awards and Citations .Host brilliant . . Most debonair . . .Host eccentric . .

His smiling countenance (his dreams were always pleasant) brightened every class which he attended. He was modest and unassuming. That was why he never displayed more than half his wit on any single occasion. Go forth Ostv with our blessing and best wishes. And lie sure and stop swinging at the oflicers of the law; after all its not their fault that they have to wear those funny uniforms. Sandy B. McPherson Savings bank 1. 2. 5,4 Savings bank 1.2. 5. 4 Savings bank from now on Sandy has always been admired by the class. He is one of the few men whom everybody wants to keep in close touch with. ('I’rv and touch him and you’ll find out how close he is.) He repeated freshman six years before he had the books worn out. Whenever he does anything, he does it in a big nav and whenever he gins any place he spends money like water, fo date lie hasn’t done anything and he hasn't gone any place. Go forth and conquer Sandy and try not to squeak while you are going! Bob has always held a warm place in the hearts of his class mates. At one time through an error it was reported that he was injured in a railroad accident and seven fellows passed into paroxysms of grief and eight or nine others filed bankruptcy papers. He has always been foremost in athletics having seen every game played on the home lield. Chess is his favorite strenuous exercise: among the milder sports come bridge and water polo.

He moves in social circles, philosophical circles and concentric circles. He is a fountain of wise advice for less skilled brethren on climbing in society. There is hardly a house in the four hundred that he hasn’t been in. There are also several houses kept by the government that he has been m because he was caught in the houses of the wealthy. When we look upon his honest smiling countenance and realize that we are leaving him perhaps forever, tears fill our eyes and sorrow overwhelms our hearts. Why couldn’t this have happened years ago! 4 412 • ■ Sports FOOTBALL 'T'lIE football team at Boredom has always been renowned for its spirit and prowess. Never has a year passed that every game did not result In victory. It was unfortunate that the victories were always for the other side but then you have to be broadminded about things like that. A victory is a victory no matter how you look at it. This year’s team however surpassed all its predecessors. Never in the history of Boredom has such a line body of well built, well trained young giants represented the old Black and Blue. The largest squad that we have ever had turned out for practise in the early fall. 1 sav early because there were subsequently many other falls. There were fully ten or eleven men in the bunch that went into training under Coach No. 7654 (Fifth Avenue Coach Co.) The training period was a huge success, most of the team acquiring enough broken arms, legs, shoulders, shoelaces and engagements to hold them for the whole season. They did not excel in the defensive game but were they offensive! Everything ran along smoothly until the last game. Oh! What a game! What tackling! On the kick-oil Maguire was off like a shot for a neat broken field run of ninety yards to the goal line. On the same play McCarthy made a dandy catch on the eighth bounce. Only the brakes stopped us from scoring on that play. If only Maguire had had the ball when he made that run or if only McCarthy had made that run after he caught the ball. Orifonlvlhad made Maguire’s girl friend. Alas! (What a lass!) But even the tough breaks couldn’t stop a team so full of spirits as our team was. Down the field they marched. Nothing could stop them. Once they got the ball it was sure they would score a safety before relinquishing it. The final 18—2 favor the other side. They scored 18 touchdowns and we scored 2 first downs. What a game! BASEBALL 'T'HF. baseball team got off to a late start this year on account of a slight mis-1 understanding on the part of the new manager of baseball. When he was told that it was up to him to supply the team with a diamond lie left the campus in a rather dazed though energetic manner. Two or three days later he was arrested for throwing stones through a jeweller’s window. His defense was temporary insanity and he put forth as an extenuating circumstance the fact that when he had been elected manager of baseball he had not been aware that he was becoming engaged to anybody. He was dismissed by the judge. Finally the team got started. Their fielding and base running was superb. As for batting they had kept in practise all winter on every Saturday night. Throughout the season the outfield received special mention in all the Metropolitan dailies. It seems that part of the outfield extended into the Botanical gardens and the fellows were continually being arrested for trying to catch a few hours sleep (while the visitors were at bat) in the tulip beds. i 415 h BASKETBALL m te have no basketball team here at Boredom. We long ago found out that ' ' there is no bottom to the basket, and we are too wise by tar to waste a lot oi time and energy trying to throw a big ball in a little basket, when the darn thing is sure to fall out anyway. TENNIS nr he tennis team met with signal success this year. Captained by H. Irvington Blobberscheiman they went through the season undefeated. Hal. as the captain is popularly known when the boys are in nice company, has had a large and varied experience in every racket in the bronx. He led his net men against five opponents, and came home bearing five victories. Some one oi the teams, which he defeated, spread a rumor that he secured the victories by spreading a solution of sulphuric acid on the racquets of his opponents before the game. 1 he story was, of course, a vindication of his character that had no objective validity (That means it wasn’t true;. Anyone that is closely acquainted with Hal knows that he never uses anything but muriatic. TRACK ■'vfR track team wasn’t able to practise this year, because the nasty old Inter-borough always had a couple of cars on the track. Track teams are kind of silly anyway. W hat’s the use ol running away from a fellow, when you know he only has blank cartridges in the pistol. RIFLE TEAM VI 7R are sorry that we can’t print the activities of our rifle team. If you are interested, drop down to the house some afternoon and I’ll tell you about it. il you’ll promise not to tell the District Attorney. GOLF TEAM r tniif.k the able captaincy of Antonio Moreno and Baby Peggy the golf team met with surprising success. (1 mean that il they had met with success it would have been surprising.) W’e had one striking advantage, of course, in the fact that none of the team knows how to count more than four. But it was care and accuracy that earned victory in most of the meets. You have to be pretty careful when you make a 100 yard hand mashie, you know. And if it weren’t that they all had well trained toes to accurately improve their lies (an intrinsically evil act under any circumstances) the scores would not have been under 155 as often as they were. i 414 y Organizations DEBATING SOCIETY OXE of tlie most active organizations in (he college has always been the debating society. Not a week passes that they do not have an informative, instructive, and entertaining debate on some topic of current interest. The opposing teams are always struck by the eloquence, force and punch of our peerless trio (not to be confounded with the peerless straight eight, which is a good car, too). McGintv, the recently acquired two hundred and twenty pound secondary defense man, has added a great deal to the team’s ability. The opposition and the judges are usually stunned by his powerful manner of attacking a subject. (He was imported from the old country, where it is a favorite diversion to attack a subject. especially if he is a loyal subject.) lbs speed and endurance, combined with his punch and graceful footwork, make him an invaluable asset to any team (especially football, boxing anti debating). The arrangements committee has been very fortunate during the past year in obtaining judges who are skilled in the technique of public speaking and experienced in the fine points of forensic behavior. Every debate has been witnessed by three judges such as these. There has also been somebody to decide who won the debate. The absolutely indispensable man on the team this year has been Spike MciMonahan. He got the judges. He got them to come here; then he got them to decide in our favor. And thanks to his ability to use the rubber hose in the proper and approved fashion he left not a mark on their bodies. There follows the text of the speech, written in 1502 by Enoch O. Attlebv. which has been delivered by every speaker in every debate since Enoch s much lamented day. The blank spaces are the places where the subjects under debate are inserted, if they are conveniently remembered, and if it is deemed advisable to let the audience know what the debate is about. Of course, in these days it is seldom that one is permitted to inform the simple public about such matters. J r. Chairman, Honored Judges, Ladies and Gentlemen: The subject which we are met to discuss today is one of vital importance to the commonwealth. On the answer that you give to this question today and upon the answer that the general public gives to it when it is proposed to them in the polls, depends the safety, the freedom, the morality—nay the very life of our nation. The question reads “Resolved that . . . should . . 415 i- This question lends itself readily to a threefold division. Any measure that is possible, useful and necessary should be adopted. And this measure is such. I snail show you that ... is possible; my colleagues will prove the utility and the necessity of it. Perchance there is one among you who has been led to believe that this measure is unlawful and hence impossible. But if there is such a one he is merely further evidence of the base deception practised bv the insidious opponents of---ing. in their lying campaign of misrepresentation. Gentlemen, you know as well as I the principles on which this nation was founded. You know that the glorious, freely flying stars and stripes wave as an emblem of continued freedom; you know that as they wave, they are our defiance to the autocratic enslaving powers who would rob us of this freedom. You know the story of Bunker Hill, gentlemen? You know how freely flowed the blood of those brave men who fell as martyrs to the cause of freedom. It was on their graves that the temple of liberty which is our nation was built. And now these men say that............is against the laws which our forefathers founded. Can anything be more absurd? Gentlemen. I know you are convinced. They say too that this measure is beyond our power. But I know that no one of you will say that with them. Can any man in whose veins there courses the fiery spirited red blood of the hardy fearless founders of America think that we are unable successfully to ... . Can any man who breathes in the fresh air that is all about us in this glorious country of ours doubt bis power and our power? Can any man who sees our peerless banner of liberty waving freely over our blessed land falter? Our forefathers marched under that banner to victory. Are we not able to follow them? In summation. Gentlemen: I have established not only that it is possible to . . . but also that il is uselul and even necessary to do so. GLEE CLUB Swbkt strains of heavenly music floating over the clear October air: they change, it is a martial tune: the clans are gathering, their rallying cry thunders forth. It is the first meeting of the world renowned Boredom glee club. The coach was justly pleased with the enormous turnout of applicants and was Idled with optimistic dreams which have since been realized. R. Irvington Snozzlehaustein was selected as lirst tenor; .M. Audrey, second tenor; R. Irvington Snozzlehaustein. first base: Arthur McMack second base and (nomas D. Jacobs shortstop. The course in voice culture given by the coach to the members of the glee club was one of the novelties inaugurated this year. It was productive of widespread results. Tones, ranges, clarity and bills were increased. The tenors became base and the basses became baser. The repertoire of the club, always large was increased this year by the addition of such universal favorites as Eat your spinach baby and you’ll grow up full of grit. I 11 meet you in the alley when the house is going to buy.” and several other numbers of equal merit. All in all it was a howling success. THE FRENCH CLUB NrKK bunch ol boys in the French club.
