CLASS HISTORY, ’34 Ralph F Lewis, Jr. . President John J. Smith ... Vice-President John E. Mulvihill Secretary Cornelius J. McCloskey Treasurer Four years ago, a struggling, awe-struck band of Freshmen gathered before the steps of the Auditorium. Father Deane tried to establish order, but failing hopelessly before the chaotic disorder turned us over to the tender ministrations of the Sophomores. In the weeks that followed we suffered much but also learned much about Ford ham that was to be of value to us in our years on Campus. Caps and tics were soon discarded, and the Freshmen became an essential part of school life. The outstanding feature of the year was the magnificent victory of the Freshman football ream over the N. V. U. Frosh in a charity game at the Yankee Stadium. The Maroon youngsters kicked, passed and ran in superlative fashion, giving great promise for their varsity careers which were to follow. The officers elected for Freshman year were Ed Malloy, President; Bob Dclancv, ice-President; Joe Tierney, Secretary; and Paul Travers, Treasurer. To us fell (lie necessity, on our return m Sophomore, of initiating the Freshmen, an office which was performed by the Vigilance Committee with some difficulty, open rebellion being met on many fronts. In fact one member of the committee well remembers having the tables completely turned upon him. However, complete amity was soon restored and things began to function normally. The Annual Prcscnrarion of the Mimes and Mummers was Twelfth Night.’ Bob Cox, in the role of Sir T’obv Belch and Bill Scliolz as Valentine gave verv fine performances and Fred Fresc as Maria Olivia s gentlewoman played excellently an otherwise most difficult role. The One-Act Play Contest, held later in the year, afforded the Thespians of the class another opportunity to display their talents. Bob Cox was adjudged rhe Best Actor, and James Albcrsc was the author of one of the competing plays. Lcn Riordan, Jack Murray and Bill Moody by their work behind rhe scenes helped immeasurably towards the evening’s success. 30 F O R D H A M

Nor were religious matters neglected, as was attested by the attendance at the Sodality of rhe Holy Rosary. Under the guidance of the prefect, Laurence A. Leavev, and rhe secretary, Joseph F. Tierney, the missionary efforts of the members were excellently used in religious education on Cherry Street. It was in this year, too, that the Hughes Debaring Society was reorganized under Sophomore leadership. Griffirh Scott was elected president, and was assisted bv the Messrs. Bangcrt and Albcrsc, vice-president and secretary respectively. Howard Safarilc, Diclc Appcrt and George Hild were the most active among the fledgling orators. Returning to Fordham as,Juniors we found a most interesting and attractive year ahead of us. Ed Malloy, president, Dick Appcrt, vice-president, John Mulvihill, secretary and John McCluskcy, treasurer, were the leaders chosen to guide the destinies of the class. Tom Diskin, Joe Cummins, Henry Yiscardi, and Jimmv Fox found enough time to spare from philosophy to fulfill their duties as members of the Ring Committee. Their work was well done; and the girl friends were delighted upon receiving” our rings for Christmas. The Rivals, famous work of Sir Richard Brinsley Sheridan, was the annual vehicle of the Mimes and Mummers. Bob Cox as the tyrannical Sir Anthony Absolute gave his finest performance, and Bill Schol as Bob Acres was more than adequate. Fred Frese (again in a feminine role) gained great applause for his portrayal of Julia Melville, while Leonard Riordan most effectively directed work behind the scenes. The Glee Club was also very active, being heard over a nation-wide hook-up of the Columbia System and in many concerts at the neighboring colleges. The annual Town Hall Concert was particularly successful. Bob Di Pasca, John Maicr, Finbarr Sullivan, Joe Tirdel, John Geiger and Bill Foley were active in the club, the latter two as members of the Board of Directors. The Council of Debate, a popular organization with many of the Juniors, was capably represented by Ed Martin in Intercollegiate argumentation. Ralph Lewis, Griffith Scott, Howard Safarik, James Albersc and Dick Appcrt showed constant improvement with the passage of rime. Still another September saw the return of the native, and back to Fordham we came for our Senior Year and its attendant gymnastics in Psychology and Ethics. After three years as class president, Ed Malloy became president of the Athletic Association anil found capable assistance in Bill Casey and Fred Smith as vice-president, and secretary. Ralph Lewis was the people’s choice, and under his administration we enjoyed a most successful and social year Pete McCloskey, John Mulvihi!! and John Smith were also elected to class offices. The Raw, under the direction of Howard Five-Star Final Moran and business manager Nat McCaffrey swung immediately into its weekly production schedule. Yin Gibson, Bob Whalen, Gene Duffy, John Murray, Jack Smith, Jim Keenan, John Barnwell, Bill Matthias and Joe Quintavallc, who labored so consistently for four years to maintain the high standard of the college paper, received their just reward in being elected to the staff. The Mimes and Mummers this year presented Galsworthy's Strife, a play whose topic was of the moment. Boh Cox was again the stellar performer; and the supporting cast included such excellent players as James Towey, Fred Frese, Mike Broderick and Irving Ewers. In the One-Act Play Contest, William Scholz authored the winning play. Arthur O'Keefe displayed hitherto unsuspected talents by taking the Best 31 MAROON
