The die had been cast. The great trek had started and another complete change in the history and trend of the world seemed imminent. At first this august body admired the architecture, the view, their com- rades-in-arms and a few upper classmen. In the first collegiate assembly, names were read, classes assigned, and books were ordered. Then came a week of confusion and struggle for recognition. Then too. after considerable investigation and circumspection, the transition from sugarbowl haircuts and celluloid collars to the sleek trappings and toney tonsures of today occurred. The confusion having disappeared, the plebes then elected the class officers. James McGoohan, was elected president. George O ' Donnell was chosen as Jim ' s first lieutenant. Jack Hayes was elected to guard what there was of money and John Dwyer, as secretary, chronicled what few things were going on. The class of ' 30 was most fortunate in the list of its Freshman professors. Heading the list was, of course, Mr. Francis V. Sullivan, now Father Sulli- van, S.J., who daily corraled the wandering groups of first-year men into the history room on the first floor, or rather, under the first floor, in the base- ment. Nothing here can be said to sufficiently express the affection and re- spect, which we have for Father Sullivan. Suffice it is to say, that when even the strongest of our college memories have faded, we will still remem- ber this popular and obliging professor. Then there were Messrs. Fitzgerald, Proctor, Gavan, Norton, Wenners, Feeley, Yantiss, and our own Father O ' Brien. These men guided the most part of the class through the mazes of Latin, Greek and the other subjects, which harrass or delight the career of every college Freshman. These were the men who also introduced us to those mysterious quantities called conditions. Ah, those conditions! Monsieur de Beauvivier and Father de Mangeleere did their best to inculcate mto our minds some knowledge of their particular branch of the romance languages while Mr. Conlon described the beauties of the language of the bull figlptcrs to those who elected Spanish. i Supplementing the class elections were the individual elections of the vari- ous stctions. Freshman G. elected as their president, Brendan C. McNalley, who jost from the lowly position to the glorious heights of Senior Presi- , Tilit academies and other extra-curricular activities flourished under the patronage of the men of ' 30. The Marquette adopted Harold SuJlivan, John Grandficld Ed Hogan, Leo Moran, and a score of other hopefuls. The GlciT Club rejoiced in the presence of Larry Gibson, Francis Geary, P. Edward Burns Frank Higgins, and the famous Mr. Gillooley. Messrs. Hayes, Dwyer, Wells, Koen, O ' Connor, Grandfield, McCarthy, and Porcis helped to press the Heu hts and as cubs were efficient in their various departments. Bill Koen and Nick Wells even then showed a literary ability that we have come ' to be justly proud of, when as contributors to the Stylus they startled the K®im -mK®i Mi@mim 193 d Br®iBi @ ®i® ©i®i Sah ' SttRRI i i i i i i i aesthetic emotions of classmates and the other two readers of this literary magazine. On the football field, Charlie Murphy, Paddy Creeden, Donald McGowan, Joe Mirley, John Convery, and Harold Kelley made their daily appearance. By this time, dances, socials, and rented tuxedoes began to appear: the Baby class had no longer to stand back and blush. Favored learned ex- pressions of teachers were used to cover a mistake in attacking lobsters and balancing tea cups. Smokers held at the Heights and elsewhere enabled them to talk knowingly with outsiders on the inside of B. C. athletics and athletes. And then came the great Holy Cross game. This was the first time that the members of ' 30 were ever permitted to take an intimate part in a publicized inter-college struggle. Those who were broad-minded, escorted their fur-coated fair companions to their seats with that experienced colle- giate expression. Those who came unescorted sat with their fellow-com- panions in the student section and cheered for Alma Mater and her warriors. Soon the Christmas holidays were on us. The vacation gave us an oppor- tunity to catch up on much-needed rest and sleep. But they passed all too quickly and before we realized that our holiday was up we were back at our desks for the last period before the mid-semester exams. For weeks we were warned by our teachers of the disastrous results that these exams brought down upon the heads of unwary students, who were unprepared. With bated breath, we entered the classroom on the first day of our mid-years, and struggled through the ordeal. However in the post mortems we decided that the professors must have been a bit nervous. That exam was nothing to worry about. But our enthusiasm w eakened as the week of exams wore on. And a mighty sigh of relief was breathed from Freshmen throats as we inscribed our names on the last of that long week of blue books. About this time, the College Club of ' 30 invited the members of Fresh- man to attend its soiree in the Swiss Room at the Copley Plaza. The more- social minded of the class shook the moths out of their tuxedoes, phoned their sisters or cousins and prepared for the big event. The affair was a huge success and the members of ' 30 were enthusiastic in their gratitude to the College Club of ' 30, that mysterious organization, for the enjoyable evening granted to them (for a consideration, needless to say.) The new Library building had been steadily growing all year, and the first warm days of Spring saw the workmen busily engaged in its comple- tion. The architecture was learnedly discussed with the help of notes taken in the history class and after long discussions, it was unanimously ' ;decidcd . that it was a Gothic structure. - : !,. The Easter vacation ' s speedy arrival vividly reminded the students that our ' first year was nearly over and the final exams must soon be met with: When we returned after the holidays we discovered that the warm days had not ' only brought out the nursemaids with their perambulators, but also the base-: ball stars. Paddy Creeden and Charlie Murphy were wearing the s ihool ' s- athletic spangles and Larry Gibson, fresh from a hockey season of great credit, followed them onto the field. The success of the baseball season -was doubtless due in great part to the efforts and diamond-skill of these three men;: The final exams were then presented to us. This time, we were not as un- prepared as we were at mid-years, and we did not find them so much of an ordeal. The exams were successfully passed by the majority of the class. Thus we brought to a close the first of our college years. We made mis- m im B m m k®i b m mmim 19 3 D a t®i m i ® i®i ® i © imi sah ©tiRRL I i i i takes, but we hoped that their number was not too large. We did our best, and attempted to live up to the ideals the school had set for us. In this year we learned the true meaning of Alma Mater, the college took a definite place in our lives, and we were each successfully started on the path which led to the position of a truly educated Catholic college gentleman. SOPHOMORE With full speed ahead, 1930 drove into Sophomore. To be sure our ranks were somewhat thinner, but our spirit was still unflagging. The joyous thoughts that enveloped our minds at the prospect of our Rhetoric year were soon actualized. We were in need of a captain and so an election was held. John Berchmans Gillooly, the last of the Floradoras, was elected President on the Better Lunch Room ticket. But the excellent fibre of the other officers made us justly proud, Ed Sliney was to be Vice President, Jack Dwyer kept the records and Jack Hayes was installed as Chancellor of the Exchequer and First Lord of the Treasury, (the title was longer than the duties of said office) . And our popular Luke McGowan, who was soon to leave for another hill not far distant, was reinstalled as our Representative, nominally if not actually at the Secret Sessions of the Athletic Board. Led by these men. 1930 paraded the campus with upturned noses and superior airs as we gazed down on the Freshmen of 1931. Our new laurels were socjn to be forgotten in the attention that our studies demanded. For it is said that if a student at B. C. passes Sophomore . . . well the worst is over, and the best is to come. The college itself was assuming a new and more stately appearance as the Library Building was taking form and the grounds were redecorated with cement walks and beautiful trees. The faculty was more or less intact and Father Dolan was still at the helm as our President. Father McHugh, more popular than ever, held back his smiles of welcome, as he told us of the pit- falls of Sophomore. We were indeed fortunate in having so many capable professors to instruct us in the art (or science?) of Rhetoric. Fathers Quinn, Kelly, McDermott, Phelan, and Eberle more than fulfilled the duties and won our admiration and esteem. Fathers McDermott, Driscoll and Eberle guided the Evidences Department with skill and vigor. In Chemistry we learned each week that last time we saw. What it was that we were supposed to have seen, some of us haven ' t seen yet. But, never- theless, Chick did his best to inculcate in us some love for that substance that ,,h s the bdor of rotting eggs and those others which gave off a colorless gas jwith an -obnoxious odor. We learned that water trickled and splashed over broken glass and that it ' s always the last drop that counts. In spite of the fact that he taught Chemistry, Mr. Evans, pedagogically speaking, of course. ;!W)I1 always be remembered as the dryest and most original of our pro- Icssqrs,; We ' ll forgive him for all the hours he forced us to spend in the pun- gent ' lalppratory. Football was under a new coach, but Paddy Creeden and Charley Mur- fhy-were now regulars of the first water and did their share toward main- tainiing Alma Mater ' s record on the gridiron. In the latter part of October, th£ Eagles prepared to fly to New York for an engagement with the Ford- ham Rkms. Here was one football game that we were desirous of win- ning above all others, because of the fact that Major Cavanaugh, our former coach, was now tutoring the Fordham athletes. And so on a bright Friday evening, which became more bright as the night wore on, the student body M [ m K®1 m @imi(B 19 3 Q E ©!:®:! Sah •KilRRL i i i I i I i departed in three contingents for the big city. The first group started some- what earlier than the others, because the transportation which they hoped to secure along the roadside was somewhat indefinite. The second departed in their Rolls Royces and Packards, with plenty of gas and oil (this trip). The greater part departed on the S. S. New York, the boat having been chartered by the student body. The band played on the deck while the boat cruised down the harbor. And an unbiased observer testifies to the fact that at five o ' clock the next morning, the band was still playing. The celebra- tion was being postponed until Saturday and Sunday evenings. After ar- riving in New York the students selected the exclusive Prince George as their temporary headquarters. Some of the aged damsels, permanent residents of this hostelry, learned much about football during the hours of that week-end. The game itself started off with a bang when Al Weston ran the kick-off back for a touch-down. The Eagles scored a tremendous victory and downed Major Cavanaugh ' s much-publicized team with a score of 27-7. The cele- bration started and the B. C. students were well prepared. The goal-posts were snitched in spite of the protest of Grover Whalen ' s cohorts and were tri- umphantly carried down the city into the lobby of the Prince George. That night, most of the celebration was done in private, although the presidents of various societies were seen in Times Square leading community singing. Sunday was spent in seeing the town and the celebration was renewed Sunday night on the S. S. Boston. Possibly the salubrious spirits of the students de- layed the boat for it was two hours late in arriving at the docks. Needless to say there -w ere very few students at the Heights that morning much to the amazement of the Reverend Prefect of Discipline. We hardly think, however, that the faculty enforced the three-point rule for those of the stu- dents who attended the Fordham game. The next Big Moment in the lives of the Sophomores was the Holy Cross game when we held Holy Cross from gaining a point and again succeeded in defeating them with a score of 6-0. The credit for this goes to Charlie Mur- phy who blocked a kick in the final few seconds of the game. Now a new department of college life was taken up by those who looked for an outlet for finer expression of their finer emotions. Dramatics flour- ished during the Winter and Spring of this semester and the members of Sophomore contributed their share to the success of the dramatic production. Frank Higgins ' true-to-life portrayal of Huguette in If I Were King was the outstanding hit of the piece. ! i The tracksters were still in the running and on the cinder path. Bill Mill- ., cahy, John Sullivan, John Connolly, Bob Barrett, and Nick Maffeo ably.r, represented the college in meets throughout the country. Numerous other, ' members of the class daily appeared on the college track and under the super- vision of Jack Ryder did their share to locally uphold the record of ' 30 in, this branch of sport. Under John Sullivan, the class again became dance-minded and the, sue - ' cessful Sophomore Hop was held in the Georgian Room at the Hotel Statler , ' By this time the boys had become accustomed to their evening accoufrcrrtcnts and were able to stroll nonchalantly down the lobby, resplendent in their tuxedos (or somebody else ' s) confident that they represented the ultimate in collegiate perfection and manly appearance. This affair was a tremcndous_ success and contributed largely to the growing treasury of the class. The mid-years by this time were an old story to us and bothered us not m imm 19 3 Q mimm b g®i ® © i®f 51 I i I I sah EtitiRL at all, (or at least, not very much) . Everything was sailing serenely along and we finally landed in the midst of the Easter Holidays. Like everything else that is pleasant these few days of leisure sped swiftly by and we found ourselves once again preparing for the Finals and Province Exams. When the baseball season put in its appearance, the same members of our class who had previously responded to its call again were successful on the diamond. To climax a successful season the team gained a final victory over Holy Cross, in which the members of our class had a great share. Now we had but to pass the finals and everything was ready for our in- troduction to Philosophy. With the finals gone we congratulated ourselves on the successful completion of this, the most difficult of our college years. It was hard to realize that already more than half our college career lay behind us. We had but two short years ahead of us. But confident that we had no regrets we went home for the summer vacation, anticipating the coming year. We said good-bye to our professors, some of whom we knew would not be with us again, and to our classmates, many of whom were to leave us to ful- fill a higher calling. The partings this time were more sorrowful than they had previously been for it is sad to leave a friend with the knowledge that it may be the last time that you will ever greet him. But though those of our classmates who were leaving the Heights for good would no longer be present in the flesh, in the spirit they would always be members of the class, as they will always be alumni of our Alma Mater. So Sophomore was completed. Everything was finished and done. In three short months we would once more be back to make a determined attack on the secrets of Philosophy and Physics, which we hoped to conquer as definitely as we had conquered everything we had hitherto met with. JUNIOR In the course of the life of every man, there is found a period in which the individual is ideally happy, blissfiilly joyous, and freed from all cares, woes and petty annoyances. Junior Year is that period in the life of a , Boston College man. Gone are the troubles and trials of translation, chemi- cal calculation, dates of battles and births, compositions and poetical analy- sis. Around him is being woven the web of Philosophy, whose gossamer sheen is but heightened in its glory by the more practical warp and woof of ttje study of Physics. ; ; ' Opcni ' ng the portals of the castle of Philosophy, the realm of Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, Kant and Schmelling, the members of ' 30 soon found themselves immersed in the drowsy waters of Minor Logic, Criteriology, Cos- mology and Ontology. Father Boehm droned his lectures to Junior A on the first floor. Father Doherty lulled the members of Junior B to sweet re- pose; 05 , the second, and Father Sullivan strewed the pearls of his wisdom to the athletes and others in Junior C. Junior D underwent its lectures in vthe more distant halls of the Arts Building with Father Low. Mr. Lyons chtectaijied the elective Greek class, at least partially, while Mr. O ' Connor cared ior those who were unfortunate enough to be excluded from this in- teresting class. Father Driscoll introduced the Economics class to the prin- ciples of big business; hence we are certain that the ranks of the financiers -will be swelled by the addition of many members of our own class. Three Juniors were privileged to be in the History Class conducted by Father Hig- sah •KtiRTR.i i i @. i i i i i La. gins. Latin was taught by Mr. Fitzgerald, and the Scientists were satiated by the members of Father Hohman ' s staff. Our first acquaintance with sailors of any note was made October 6, 1929, when those of our class as well as the rest of the school and campus followers who had journeyed to Annapolis, saw the Midshipmen defeated by our own team with a score of 6-0. This was the most outstanding game of the en- tire season, if not one of the most notable ever played by a team representing the Heights. Those who had made the Annapolis trip felt amply rewarded for their time and money, while those who stayed at home have this as one of their keenest regrets. This conflict gave the Eagles more than a start on their route to the Eastern Championship. Hardly had we settled down to the regular scholastic routine, when we were given the opportunity to attend an uncensored performance of that greatest of tragedies, Hamlet. We soliloquized with Hamlet, we mourned with Ophelia, we vaunted with Laertes, but oh, how we gloried in the groans of the ghoulish ghost, the dead King. For it was no spook, it was no tor- mented spirit, he took off the mask and we knew it was Maffeo. . . . he, of the rolling voice, who boomed his way into the heart of each and every one in the audience. Thanksgiving and the annual clash between Holy Cross and Boston Col- lege were upon us before we realized that two months had so swiftly slipped by. Our victory over the Crusaders resulted in the awarding to the team of the Eastern Championship. We are proud to claim that three members of our class were responsible for the 19-0 victory over Holy Cross — Paddy Creeden, Joe Mirley and Charley Murphy. Each of these men scored a touchdown and too much credit can never be given them. The festivities of the victorious football season had but hardly ended, when we were rushed into that glorious week of sprees and jamborees. . . . Junior Week, the premier social event in every college man ' s life. The ar- rangements for these exclusive affairs were under the capable direction of President John Ward Sullivan, assisted by Ed Sliney, Ed Hogan and Jim Mahoney. Junior Week opened with a crash and bang at the Kenmore, with the tea dance. That evening, the Juniors were invited to attend, at their own expense, a so-called musical production, entitled Breaking Train- ■ ' ing, which was facetiously called the Junior Show. This was produced in preference to a play by three Juniors with an all- Junior cast. The prima donna ' s role was assumed by Paddy Creeden, who looked and acted miifht at home in woman ' s apparel. Joe Mirley, with his golden hair and inaoceht, smile gamboled about the stage in the role of ingenue, while John, Merrick was one of the sedate ladies of the ensemble. The success of the affair was due in large measure to the skill and ingenuity of the directress. Gorgeously-gowned women, flashing jewels on heaving bosoms, joyous Juniors revelling in an evening of untrammelled delight, and the romanti: cally dimly-lighted ballroom at the Hotel Statler made our Junior Proff) an event long to linger in the minds of those who attended and their lovely ' escorts. After the ball was over meant much more than a memory of a once popular melody. Not to be forgotten in this melee of things good and bad is our Physics course. Who will ever forget the vivid lectures, in which the capable ' Father Crawford demonstrated, vivified, and visualized so many relations that were. so novel and unusual to the untutored Juniors. The class owes a great debr- of gratitude to this popular professor for his attempts at making an other- 53 © i®i m © i®i sah ©iiRRi i i I i wise dull subject so actually interesting that the Physics course and its re- lated occurrences will long be a source of much thought and reflection. The genial Jawn, the diltiful Dufi y, and watchful Mr. Zager also earned the respect of the class. In addition to our social and scholastic endeavors, the class maintained a marked interest in all extra-curricula activities. Our junior year found our debaters in the famous Fulton and by the record they made, we may judge that the Fulton merited by the support of 1930. The President of that august body searched among the seniors for a man to be Debate Manager and finally found Leo Moran in our class. Ed Hogan was a member of the best teams sent out by the Fulton and Harold Sullivan aided in defeating many of the Fultonian rivals. Tom Kelly, Nick Maffeo, Jim Mahoney, Jim Murphy, and Frank Mahoney also made their presence felt in the debating circles. Meantime the Heights was having a terrible time. Bill Keen persisted in writing the truth about the Stylus and of course the truth is often too true. Every few weeks the Heights columns would carry a frank and forceful criti- cism of our literary monthly. This, however, resulted in Mr. Koen ' s resignation being requested. He fell as a martyr on the Altar of Truth re- calling to mind the words of St. Jerome, If an offense come of the truth, better it is that the offense come than that the truth should be concealed. The Heights labored along without Managing Editor Koen. Jack Hayes was rewarded for his years of service by being selected as editor. Jack Grand- field, Nick Wells. Al McCarthy, Al Porcis, Connie O ' Connor, Ted Kearns, and other members of our class carried the Heights banner forward. The Stylus had its troubles too. And the same creature was held re- sponsible. Bill Koen had incurred the wrath of the Stylus gods and they hurled thunderbolts down on him. How dare a person criticise the literary monthly! But in spite of its troubles with men of the type of Nick Wells, John Cusack, Bill Butler, and Bill Trainor conducting its affairs it could not help but get along. Baseball assumed its place in the spotlight early in the balmy days of Spring and Pat Creeden, Charley Murphy, Jim Reagan, Boots Connolly, and others answered the call of Coach Hugh Duffy. The season was one of moderate success. ( While everyone was bustling and hustling in preparation for the exams, the classmates went to the polls to elect their officers for Senior. When the last ballot had been counted, it was found that Brendan McNally had been ckcted President by a rather large vote. Suffice it to say that when Bren c,on(.luded his first year of ofiice that all the class applauded as we had never doni. before Tom Cavanaugh was elected Vice President and Jim Mahoney IS rL-Llectcd Secretary for the third time, proving his merit and worth. Bill Sullnan uas drafted to become our Treasurer and put the class on a firm finapusl basis (which he did) and Matt Kenney was selected to be our Athletit. Association representative. Then came the storm. Down from the hills of Weston, from the heights bt Mt St James, from the plains of B. C. High, came flocking to Boston -Col,leg5 a grc5up of black-robed Jesuits armed with scholastic philosophy and the principles of the Ratio Studiorum. Their purpose was to exact the Su- preme Penalty from every junior that could not answer the questions put by these scholars in the orals. In our nest we prepared for the onslaught by burning the midnight oil and brushing up on our philosophy so that when the enemy ' arrived we were ready. And the enemy was very happy that 54 aB ' KClRRL i i i i i i there were so few victims to be found in the class of 1930. In fact, we modestly state, that there must have been a feeling of pride that 1930 had so thoroughly imbibed the spirit of Scholastic Philosophy. And so ended Junior. Another milestone in our collegiate life had been passed. We retain the memories of the happy hours of our social activities at and outside of the college. We retain also the wisdom that was imparted to us by the men who are Boston College. SENIOR The ultimate norm, and aim, relatively and absolutely, of our college days has at last been reached in Senior. Now we are together in one big happy family, enjoying the same professional blessedness, in the same scholas- tic room, along with classmates of whom previously we had but the merest glimpses. We are on the last lap of our race with collegiate courses, quizzes and exams. We have but to weather Psychology, Ethics, a few electives, the Orals, and .... oh, yes, Evidences, before we gain the long sought laurel, our Bachelor ' s degree. (Ed. Note — this does not refer to the un- married state.) The faculty are about to make their last attempt to transform us into that chimerical figure — an educated Christian gentleman. In the Psychology class, Father Keyes daily guided us farther and more clearly into the labyrinth that is Psychology. Consequently, before the year had half reached its close, we were made aware of the depth of the mind and the lectural clarity of this most beloved of our professors. Psychology became a living, vital figure in our lives, made as attractive as only Father Keyes could. Ethically and sociologically, we were under the guidance of the eminent lecturer and teacher, Father Corrigan. To these courses, we had looked forward to ever since our Freshman daze, for no matter how far an alumnus of B. C. may wander, he never forgets the brilliant discourses de- livered in the classrooms of these two courses. Ethics to us at Boston Col- lege is synonymous with the name of Jonesy, as we were wont to affec- tionately term our favorite professor. The norm of morality the intrinsic and relatively last end, the objective and absolutely last end, the natural and -- unnatural distinctions were so brilliantly explained, that they will remain in our memory long after the direct content of our college careers has left us. The keenest of our regrets on leaving Boston College is that we are not only leaving our Alma Mater, but we are also leaving behind Us the personality and lectures of our own Father Corrigan. i ' In the electives, Doctor Cassidy made the Law course more populai than it had ever been before; the same might be said of the course oi I athtr Doherty, the new pedagogy professor. Professor Maury instrutitd tbost members of ' 30 who were to enter the field of journalism. If the newspapi-ip of the universe are not profited by their presence, it will be because those stu- dents had seven cuts. Father Joseph Sullivan, Doctor O ' Donnell, Mf ' Zagcr and Professor O ' Callahan, S.J., catered to the scientific tastes of th(- Ji-sO tubedly minded members of our class. The intracacies of Vergil Catullus, Cicero, Martial, and the Christian poets were explained to the studious mem bers of the Senior Latin Class by Father McDermott. Father DriscoU with his brilliant Economics and Business Problems, brought a large number iftto the Economics course. Father Connolly presided over the English class while Father Murphy clarified the events of historical importance to tllfe 55 Sah ' EttRRL i I i historians of our class. In Government, Father Corrigan taught the coming politicians how to manage the ship of state according to true Christian principles. The Evidences class was conducted by Father Russell Sullivan. With Father Sullivan at the helm, our course on the sea of Apologetics was steered safely albeit rather swiftly at times, with many a frequent glimpse of the shore whereon we could see the green pastures of Externals and Disci- pline. The members of 1930 took up Scripture to such a degree that it walked, talked and slept with them. Not only in the classroom, but also out of the classroom the Class of ' 30 met with unqualified success. President McNally proved that the class had made an excellent choice of presiding officer when it elected him to the presi- dency, by the capable and satisfactory manner in which he conducted the class activities. The committees were wisely chosen, the class meetings were abl y conducted, and the spirit of the class was highly m.aintained. The first news of the year was to the effect, that the most prominent litera- teur of the class. Bill Koen, had been chosen to edit the SUB TURRI. The class congratulated Mr. Koen, but those who knew the task that confronted him extended their sympathy to him. Assisting him were Joe Whitehead as Business Manager, Leo Moran, Frank Taglino, Nick Wells, John Mc- Intyre, Buid Gillooly and Harold Sullivan. In debating circles, the names of Harold Sullivan and Leo Moran were most frequently heard. Mr. Sullivan was elected to the Presidency for the first semester, but Mr. Moran so skillfully managed and moderated the in- tercollegiate debates, that the Fulton recognized his ability and honored him with the Presidency for the second term. Although, time and anon, certain members of his society did not agree with the policies of the wielder of the gavel, they all realized in the end that the best interests of the Fulton were at stake, and Mr. Moran, because of his copious experience, knew best how to conduct them. And, now, when petty annoyances and grievances are forgotten, it is acknowledged by all that not only the Fulton but also the college activities as a whole had benefited by the Fulton President ' s policies. Twelve intercollegiate debates were held with the most prominent colleges of ' the cpuntry, in all of which the Fulton was declared victor. But, alas, in the final debate of the season, the Debating Team lost its vigor and were de- feated by the Team from Mount St. James. Fully as many lecture debates wtrc hcl ' d before clubs and societies in Eastern Massachusetts. Finally, it may he jiaid in all modesty that the fortieth year of the Fulton was also its I qtost siiccessful one. ,) The French Academy, under the leadership of Edward Powers, President, S. ' Edward Flynn and Nicholas A. Maffeo, premier French students of Che Coljjege, did much to further the intelligent study of the finest of the . omi}n||e ' languages. In Spanish circles, Frank Gallagher, el presidente , ,tead ' tl]!

Neil O ' Connor worked strenu- ously all year, managing to get this week ' s edition out next week. The Stylus, under the supervision of Mr. Berrigan, S.J., had a prosperous imm - i®i mKmim 193 Q © ® © © i®2 Sah •EilRRI I i i i I i year. Nick Wells, as editor, saw that all the copy was in on time. Frank Higgins furnished sonnets to beautiful ladies, John Cusack and Bill Trainor managed the business end. and Bill Koen was titled Associate Editor which we suspect was an honorary title. Athletics flourished in the usual manner. Paddy Creeden, Joe Mirley, John Convery, Frank Lyons, Charlie Murphy and others were the luminaries on the gridiron. The football season was noteworthy because of the victories over Holy Cross, Boston University, Duke, and other prominent universi- ties. The baseball season was not as successful as we would have liked it to be, but nevertheless our schedule was interspersed with a list of victories fully as long as the list of defeats. Hockey, alas, made no appearance. Bill Mulcahy, Joe McCabe and Tim Creeden worked tirelessly to give their Alma Mater renown on the cinder path. John Connelly, Nick Maffeo and Bob Barrett also scintillated. The Military Club grew bloodthirsty and founded a fencing team. Ed Steele and Jim Langan successfully represented 1930. Socially, the Class, as a whole, was no wall flower. The brilliant Philo- matheia Ball, with its columns of publicity in the social departments of Boston ' s newspapers, made Boston ' s Four Hundred tremble on their thrones, in dread and fear of the rise of a new select section of society in which they would play no part. The taste shown and externals exhibited savored of a bright future along this line for all the participants. The Football Dances, the affair at Boston ' s newest Night Club, the Waterfront Club, which witnessed the premier performance of the three strange men-about-coUege in their toppers and swallowtails, went to further make us regret the passing of our dear old college daze. Class Night, that evening of romance and bliss, with its frolicsome laddies, and dancing damsels, brought our social season to a whirlwind conclusion. This last affair, preceded by dinner under the college canopy, brought to a close the memorable events of Class Day, man- aged by a committee, chairmanned by Leo Moran, assisted ably by William Beale, Jerry McCarthy, John Merrick, and Roger O ' Sullivan. On Baccalaureate Sunday, after the moving sermon of Father Campbell, and the impressive ceremonies of solemn Benediction, the class adjourned to the high school, where after a warm and closely fought contest, Brendan McNally, the typical B. C. man, was re-elected president, a further token of - the love and affection which the Class of ' 30 bears towards the illustrious son of Fall River. George Spillane, class Adonis, was chosen vice-president Leo P. Moran, gubernator of so many committees, was vot ed Secretary William ' Sullivan, the smiling ambassador from Dorchester, was re-elected treasurer. All these officers are to hold office for five years. ' I The curtain is falling on the stage of our college years. The last bouquLts are being flung over the footlights.

NOT daunted by four strenuous years of hopping on and off the Boston and Maine Express that carried the Lawrence contingent back and forth to St. John ' s Prep, Ken decided to further his knowledge of railroading and higher education by matriculating to Boston College. And there is no doubt that he has admirably accomplished both laudable purposes. To see the finesse with which he boards the 7:20 at South Lawrence is to witness a highly developed technique acquired only after long and painstaking practice. Numerous are the arguments on various weighty subjects fought out to a •biV,ter-cny by a certain quartet that may be seen and heard on the early morn- ling train to Boston. As many commuters can attest Ken ' s nimble wit and facile use of intricate philosophical distinctions and ever readiness to defend the tenets- of scholasticism.

He has brought us a certain atmosphere, as it were, of the country: not the unsophis- tication of the hick nor the roughness of the rube, that the popular fancy seems to associate with those who live beyond the city limits, but rather that simple integrity, that honesty of purpose, and genial friendliness .that the rural districts seem to inevitably breed. Jim, you may take it, is one of the Giants of the Earth. We have often wondered if there was anything that would ever startle Jim. He has ever been nonchalance personified, never anticipating what was to come nor worrying over what had gone before. Whatever the news, that lift of the eyebrow, that almost imperceptible shrug of the shoulder seemed to say, Who cares? Not that Jim has adopted the philosophy of the cynic, but he simply refuses to be bothered with trifles or to let trifles bother him, without weighty reasons. We are sure that Jim ' s present patience will win for him an abundance of patients when he is James A.

IN FRESHMAN a young lad coming from Billerica, a small out-of-the- way town, gave the impression of being rather timid and not a bit bold. However as he was second of the Finnegans to come to this college he soon began to feel at home and immediately set to work to uphold the reputation of the Finnegan clan. With his quiet appearance and pleasant smile Charlie cared but little f,or social affairs and never paid the slightest bit of attention to the giills of his own age — at least this is what he tells us. We, however, are inqlmcd ito doubt it because his shy manner gradually disappeared and he soon became very strongly interested in outside activities. In Senior Charlie became imbued with the spirit of chivalry and jdccided to learn the art of fencing. He practiced faithfully two nights a weejE (fpWij. at the gymnasium and by the end of the year could thrust and party with the best of them. Believing that athletic undertakings should be balartced hf intellectual activities he joined the Fulton. Jap became so interested in Fr. Doherty ' s education class that he ran for a position on the Billerica School Committee. During his short an-d vigorous campaign he used as his pet argument the fact that he was speci ' aliz- ing in Education at Boston College. He has every reason to feel satisfied even though he lost by a mere eleven votes to an older man. Charlie you have the qualifications, go to it and good luck. Fulton 3, 4. Business C lub 4.

In all our iii ' any years of experience we have never seen a mortal who could at all times look so downright amiable and thoroughly contented with life.

DID you ever get to know anyone so well that you sort of just took him for granted without ever pausing to consider what particular qualities made you want to be familiar with him? That seems to be our case with Johnny. For four years we have been so accustomed to see him everywhere, at the socials, at the games, playing hockey, debating, or attempting to drive the profs into illogical corners of the classroom, that really Johnny has become almost an institution in the class. For three years John was one of the bulwarks of the hockey tearn. And what a wing he was, as our opponents can well testify! The curtailment of hockey in Senior forced him to seek new outlets for his energy, and Johnny blossomed forth as an intercollegiate debater. In this branch of endeavor the earnestness, the sincerity, and the ruthless Groden energy brought him deserved success. The beautiful class rings this year were bought, distributed, and paid for through the efficiency of the Ring Committee, of which John happened to be chairman. Probably it will be as a barrister that John makes himself known to the external material world. His affability, his quiet self-confidence and his unqualified enthusiasm, added to the literary and oratorical ability he de veloped here at the Heights are a gold-sealed guarantee of success Ho.ckcy 1, 2, 3.

Dave was an earnest attendant of the Sodality meetings, and since he aljso liked to sit in at the Business Club, we infer that he is going to forge ahead in the business world after graduation. In his spare time Dave used to read old year books for a hobby. Especially was he a keen student of the Holy Cross Purple Patcher, (which is another good annual).

And if making friends is any criterion of success John will have no trouble making progress in the world of busi- ness Socially John is very much a lion; and whenever the college held an activ- if , whether academic, athletic, or social — in the climatic order — John was surt to be present. Neither fatigue or boredom can dull his bubbling spirits - he always has a good time. And so do his companions when John is in the vKinitv, The only time that we can remember seeing John wearing an anxious look was immediately preceding an examination, because his time was di- vided b9twcen study at the day college on the Heights and work in a drug- store and political activity on the side. His engaging personality and natural enthusiasm made him an ardent campaigner and vote-getter for several suc- cessful candidates. All the traits of John ' s character, all the aspects of his personality can be fully and abruptly summed up in these words, He is a gentleman. Higher praise cannot be given to anyone.

COURAGE and intellectual independence, frequently confused with con- ceit and radicalism, are the outstanding qualities of Jim, whom we affectionately call Brother. Often have we seen these manifested in psy- chology and ethics classes when Jim had prudent reasons for differing on a point of logic or justice. He is a real conversationalist since he recognizes the fact that dialogue is its proper medium. It was so characteristic of Jim to go from group to group about the college, asking questions, offering his opinions and cnticizmt, the opinions of others that someone dubbed him Socrates. Neverthtli-ss Jiin is essentially a dreamer (aren ' t we all?) and a thinker; consequent! th i fore it entails not a little effort to obtain his convictions. i Strange as it may seem, we have been debating as to whether We btlti mention Jim ' s lyrical abilities.

The two aspects of John 1 pare t,he in-class John and the out-of-class John. In-class-John is P ( quite as quiet and as serious and as diligent as the Dean must have been in ' ■ his ' collegci days. Out-of-class- well, just the opposite. Early in his college days John figured out the fact that if he were to spend the prescfibed four hours study after class each day he would have little time in. vhicliito join the fast and furious social life of Hingham and its environs. Accordingly John invented the neatest little system you ever saw to master ra ' ' hislsfitifi. his physics, his ethics, et cetera. Every few days he would analyze N V Ms rtiiflter, select the important details, and reduce the whole to a mathe- fi tatid iiloxmula. It was no wonder then that at examination time John c4).ulci ' saiy more in less words than any man in the class; that he made ninety percfrtt of the class look up to him in marks; and that he became such a ptimg favorite socially. 3 ' When he receives his duly inscribed sheepskin, John plans an assault on 1 the business world. If you want a fellow who ' ll work, who ' ll not forget, y who ' ir have ideas of his own, and who ' ll always look like a bag full of million. dollar bills, take our advice — hire him.

FOR four years we have listened to the Baron of Chelsea expatiate on the beauties and glories of his native acres.

Whether it is something in the Chelsea soil or a prominent heredi- tary trait in the clan Mahoney that is responsible we do not profess to know, but we do know that Al is one of the most proficient as well as one of .the miist cheerful manipulators of the blarney that ever kissed the well k,nlown Blarney Stone.

JAMAICA PLAIN sent us one of the five Mahoneys that adorn the Class. And Charles Mahoney was the most quiet of the five. Possibly the reason was that he was sandwiched between two Chelsea Mahoneys and one can ' t do much talking when a debater is around. But Charles Mahoney made a very definite contribution to the Class just as his namesakes did , Charles is a young man whom you can depend upon to recite his, thesis in a manner that would merit a Vehrry good, Mr. Mahoney. We are si|re his quiet manner will serve to make him successful in whatever career Ik may elect — we are inclined to predict hotel managing. Charlie, though he would never in this wide world consciously gi e an one cause for regret (for he answers to the Cardinal ' s definition of a pctfLt,t gentleman) nevertheless cau,ses us to regret that he were not so blamed quiet and unassuming, as some trite souls would put it, and sing his own praises for a change. ' Charlie was not only popular with his fellow-students but there exists many a fair damsel who soulfully declares that Charlie is a w6nderf?il boy. Moonlit nights, swishing waves, and the distant call of boat-wttstles many time witnessed this seemingly demure young man carolling a spark- ling love-ditty to the lady of his choice, or showing an interested ,freature how his uncle the chiropractor worked.

It is not a loud laugh, nor a horse laugh, however, for Fran is always that rara au:s — a Gentleman. Though true, the last statement was perhaps unwise, for it implies much of,what;we were about to add — Franny ' s democratic spirit, and the smile with wbich he greets all his classmates: his scholastic standing and behaviour ,in class ' his charity — and here we pause. For the greatest of his virtues is charity. ' Always a kind word for all, Fran will find something good to say — not only ' of the members of the class, but of those in the outer world. No -one who knows him well has ever heard him say aught but good of a person. His dignified mien and stately bearing belies his democracy of heart.

WHEN the last school day has faded into the shadows along the stream of life there will still remain clearly outlined against the background of Boston College days a few men who by their strength of character and the lustre of their deeds made a permanent and treasured impression upon the minds and hearts of their classmates. Such a man without qualifications is Jim Mahoney. In class where he was one of the very highest honor men. on the platform . where Jim had few superiors as a debater, or in the class meetings where he was always ready with a cheerful suggestion, Jim proved himself ' to be a well-rounded Catholic gentleman and one in whom the school could take great pride. Jim ' s ready smile and optimistic view of the problems of life have gatbcud to him a plethora of friends. He rings true, with ability to know, smccuty to declare, and courage to defend? Let the future be indexed by the past and Jim is assured of a cellar full of the success of life and a heart filled with its joys. Jim has intimated that the study of law will occupy his attention for th future, and we are sure that he will be successful at his chosen profession. Whatever walk of life Jim were to follow, however, we know the result would be the same. Sub TURRI 4. Marquette 1, 2. Fulton 3. 4. Class Secretary 1, 3, 4. South Boston Club Vice President 3.

For eight long years Bill has emerged from its wilderness each morn to journey to Boston, firstly to B. C. High School and later to where Sub Turris originate. If travel broadens one then Bill should have quite an extensive latitude — which he has, mentally.

DICK hails from Taunton (near Mansfield) the land of the herring and the home of . . . commuters. For two hazardous years Dick gallantly battled his daily way to the Heights via the noted No Yuse, No Hope, and Heartless Railroad. Scotch a trip thought he, and forthwith joined the boarding house garrison for his Junior and Senior years. Now I have time to think, he said, and at once he settled down to a heartless assault on the ratio, studiorum. Never say Kant is Dick ' s philosophy of life. Lik-e Herb Hoover, Jim ' s avocation is hunting and fishing. With his trusty rod and bow and arrow, Dick is known all along the Taunton River, throughout the Cape Cod woods and almost wherever there is any wilder- ness left. Dick ' s favorite method of subduing the savage beast and overcoming the iriore ferocious forms of wild life (not human) is to look the animal in the eye and;;quote from a book whose identity we are forbidden to reveal.

WHEN the Roman legions held sway, Caesar is quoted thusly, Friends, Romans, and Countrymen, let me have men about me that are fat — When pressed for a reason, he who despised Cassius of the lean and hungry look said, If they ' re fat, they can ' t fight and they can ' t run, they ' ve got to be goodnatured. Now in the case of Bob Martin the reason doesn ' t apply, but the good nature certainly does. By the light of a lantern, for four years Bob started off eachi morning from his home in the great village of Lawrence to arrive at University Heights at just 9:29 a. m. Not only as a great traveller but as a keen Stu- dent of the various Latin and Greek roots and their allied branches did Bob represent very favorably the city on the river that is flowing to the sea When Bob was a boy at Lawrence High School he was pointed out with pride (when the folks came down to the General Store for their mail) as a studious athlete. As soon as he ascertained that the athletic teams atj ' sto n College would be taken care of by athletes he concentrated upon developing the studious side of his nature. Not satisfied with what he learned in class and in restaurants, Bob joined the Greek Academy, and they say his favorite pastime is trying to stick himself on the principal parts of the verb meaning to stand on one ' s bald head. Bob expects to be a professional, teacher upon graduation. We wish him the best of luck. History Academy 1. 2. Greek Academy 2. 3. Football 2. Marquette 1,2. - ' -• Lawrence B. C.

MATRICULATION at college usually means excitement and novelty in the life of the embryo college man but to Ji m it was just another of ' those days. To admit surprise or astonishment is to Jim a cardinal crime. To those who know him, this attitude is what attracts them to this ta l likable chap. Easy going though he may be, nevertheless he surprises ,:Us with his facility in accomplishing things. Thus it is that in the flurry ' of .social and scholastic activities his unruffled character at once charms and ' beg ' liiles ifs to seek closer friendship. Scholastic honors are not uncommon to Jim but from his unassuming acceptance of them one would not suppose how well deserved they are. Many of us have experienced his willingness to help and the ease with which it was oflcrcd. In the midst of philosophical discussion his keen wit and good humor indicate an unusual but no less sympathetic understanding of thf more siiious side of college life. tlis refusal to admit a dark side to anything encourages confidence which Will be an important factor in the success we know he will enjoy. To pre- dict a ' future for Jim is to reckon without his knack of avoiding the obvious and commonplace.

LIKE the proverbial still waters (we refer of course to the still waters of calm, quiet pools) Frank is deep. Rarely does he manifest on the sur- face strong emotion but when he does commit himself on any subject, you may be assured that his opinion is well-thought out in advance and will stand very well the famous tests for certitude. They say that the first essential in a good judge is that he must be dig- nified. If that were the only qualification necessary, Frank could right no,w take a place of honor among the justices in the highest court in the land. Since however dignity is not the only qualification necessary, Frank,, intends to pursue the study of law, and we venture to predict that sonu da he possessing the other necessary perfections, may wear a judge ' s robe At almost every Boston College affair Frank was in evidence, e ' ifhci be- hind the scenes at the dramatic productions, or forgetting to be quiet at the athletic contests, or circulating about at the various social gatherings. Perhaps it was this circulating omnipresence that helped make Ffank so popular. He himself was quiet and did not put himself into the spotlight, but kept modestly in the background.

AS WE set ourselves to the pleasant task of recording the mannerisms and characteristics of him whom we hope by the act to identify we are struck first of all by a good nature as mirrored in his genial countenance. We recall, too, a mighty voice of which he is by nature the possessor: slowly, deliberately and impressively he talked, as though he had something to say and a reason for saying it. This feature alone is sufficient to distinguish hiiti frorn among many of his classmates. Leon hesitated, yes, I think he even disliked to offer censure even when a wrong was most blatantly pro- tlaimed. His was the enviable faculty of looking first to himself and realiz- ing that in self-contemplation one might find a more profitable outlet for criticism, In this way do we explain his easy calmness and peace of mind, with himself and others; these he certainly did possess. : Another happy thought which strikes us at the moment is that the young ijian wf s doubly fortunate in that his luck was confined to things of a ma- terial nature. Remember the day Leon won those tickets to the social ex- travaganza of the season? That statement, of course introduces a novel and iater stigg element into the story, but where we have no facts we will not indulge in theories so that side of the story we will allow to remain in the embryo,- — it might be best that way anyhow!

YEARS ago a tall, lanky, curly-haired lad just graduated from Saugus High School, was seen walking up to the Heights. As Saugus is largely made up of farms and as Tom had always lived on one, he frankly confesses that during his first few weeks up here at the College he felt very sad ' and Ibnesome for the company of his horses, cows and other animals. Tom. with his jolly disposition, soon made a number of friends and grad- uaHy this feeling of sadness wore away. j .Becnuse of his wide experience in running whist parties and conducting ch urch socials, Cy (as he is called at home) gained the reputation of being the social lion of all Saugus. Nevertheless he found sufficient time to prove his ability to the city boys by ploughing through his Latin with a fluency that satisfied even Father Quinn. Tom was so interested in the welfare of hi? fellop farmers that in Junior he joined the Fulton and at once took his feet in vigorous defense of farm relief. Tiiat he has benefited by his course in college is shown by the fact that there are rumors throughout the College that back in good old Saugus he keeps a fine classic stable. His pet horses are called by such names as Homer, Demosthenes, Juvenal and Horace. We wish him the best of luck. F ' ufton 3; Censor 4. Chemistry Academy 3, 4. Heights 3, 4. Business Club 3, 4.

HERE is one whom the great cardinal described perfectly when he de- fined a gentleman as he who never consciously causes another pain. The unfailing serenity of his countenance and the gentle humor of his con- • -versation make him a great favorite in many gatherings. In his school days at Boston College there was another quality which endeared Ed to the hearts of many of his less brilliant classmates. It was surely a grand and glorious feeling to know after a long and unsuccessful battle with the intricacies of some passage in Juvenal or Demosethenes thai there would be someone to unravel our tangled translations and ferret out the last elusive root of the essential Greek verb. It certainly was thoughtful of Ed to come early mornings for our benefit. Because of the fact that he always had the right answers he usually man- aged to get about the highest marks in the class. Summa Cum Laude be- came a habit with him. Next to collecting old books Ed ' s hobby is French.

EVEN though John Powers sat in a certain section of the senior class- room which was always under suspicion, he maintained himself and won the reputation of being a real gentleman. John came to college to acquire an education and he has more than profited by his four years at the Heights. John O. had to sit between two brilliant gentlemen, each an expert in his own line and yet John stood forth as one of 1930 ' s consistent students. Do not jiimp to the false conclusion that because John sat between two experts, he himself is not an expert as well. As a matter of fact, John is in- expert in more than one line of endeavor. Name anything: Psych. Ethics, Government — John knows all the answers. And John has grit and endurance, too. He elected Pedagogy twice: and he was associated with the Powers of Government during a final exam. John once had an interest in the Greek Academy before that august body excluded all upper-classmen. You have to be a real student to be interested in Greek and John qualified. He also was interested in the Freshman His ' tory Academy in the days when Admiral Andrews, and other distinguished ' men used to lecture there. We are sure of John ' s success because he is the type that is made to succeed. Sodality 1. 2, 3. Greek Academy 2.

ALL THAT scholastic philosophy did for Dave was agree with him. Long before he ever saw the cover of a Dialectics book, Dave was a practical philosopher. In every act of his life he manifested it. With a nature strong enough to endure the hardest shocks of adversity, yet sympathetic enough to be susceptible to the significance of the most delicate situation, Dave in his four years among us was a fine example of what a manly Christian gentle- mari should be. In Dave ' s company one is assured of a good time. Well can we re- ipT-ciriber tbc boisterous times we had on the class outings when his burlesquing :o,(, a ball game kept us roaring with laughter. And when a dull moment wis ' threatened, Dave would relate to us one of his fabulous stories, without yfeuching at all for its verity.

When the class was behind in Latin, he was the boy to gallop through the translation at a breakneck speed. Beside his naine,in.the record books are some philosophical marks which, if they were ajfrs, would be framed in the place of honor in the parlor. When ' this son of Boston College, so devoted to her ideals, takes his place in the battle of life, the world, when it knows him as we do, will proudly place him in the first rank. _- ' ' ' Trac;k 1.

Whether playing an uproariously funny , practical joke in his own apparently guileless manner on some deserving member of the class, or in turn being boisterously joshed by less subtle class- mates, Joe always grinned and smoked on one of his trusty old rubbpr pipe , As a proof of his love of lore it is rumored that Joe stayed up all night with a slide rule and two ten-pound bags of philosophy. In the mofniiw ' it is alleged that he had reduced the whole mass to 3I4 (Form of ' KSftt) St I 2.006 (nebula hypothesis plus 3 quarts of the stream of consciousftess oti ' 1 J- ' 2 dozen hatching eggs — $1.25 worth of Hylo-morphism. Undbtibjfcdly the report is false though we don ' t doubt Joe ' s ability to do it ' ' ij In addition to his scholarly activities Jo2 divided his time between Mor ' pheus and the Marquis de Queensbury. Joe Sol has not yet signihtd what ' field of activity will lay claim to his future prowess but we know that be,, neath Joe ' s mock seriousness there is a real seriousness and some d ' ay ' Jog, will do something really fine and noble. - ' Marquette 1.

THE biographer of Harold Sullivan is, to be sure, not at a loss for material On the other hand he is at a loss for words and expressions with which to do justice to such a personage. It is indeed difficult to relate the story of Harold Sullivan who at this stage in life has debated all questions debatable: whose immersion into the sea of philosophy has been one of thorough study; who, as Chairman of the Annual H. C.-B. C. football classic, conducted an event long to be remembered by every undergraduate, alumnus and friend of Boston College who taxed the capacity of the Auditorium of the Bostbn City Club to the limit. ' The Marquette and Fulton has had many orators. Each year the Senior Class presents one member as their outstanding speaker. Harold Sullivan is the contribution of 1930 to that list. Let it be said that whenever Harold was in a contest and there was a medal to be won that Harold won it. The sentiment of the class towards Harold was reflected in the splendid manner in which he was elected to the position of Tower Orator. 1 he vote was five to one in favor of Harold. Harold was a perfect gentleman, one of the most respected members of out . class and we shall always remember him. Sub TURRI, Activities Editor 4. Marquette 1. 2. Gargan Medal Winner 2.

WHENEVER the treasurer of a society, a club or a class is elected it is usually in order for some smart fellow in the back row to pull the alleged fast one about electing someone to watch the treasurer. But when Honest Bill Sullivan was elected to that office in our class no such re- mark was even thought of, or the culprit would have been quickly squelched and frowned out of the room by his classmates. We doi not limit our praises of Bill to his honesty, for where can we find a. ud fen ' more sincere and diligent.

He came to us from the High School preparatory to Boston College, where they still speak of Cy, one of the best full backs B. C. High has had for many a year. Allegiance to his class work alone, prevented Bill from taking part in the Fall sport at the Heights, but his work jn those hard-fought and well-nigh bloody conflicts, the class games, made it evident to the varsity coaches and students, that the varsity had lost a rare prospect. The wisdom of Bill ' s course, in devoting full time to studies, shows its re- ' suit, for during his four years ' sojourn, Bill has always been well up ih ' ; the rank of scholastic leaders at the Heights. ' ' Bill as we said never forgot his pet subject. Football. Hardly!

Truth alone is final — Dolan. IF NOMINATIONS are in order, we nominate Joe as the busiest man dur- ing our last year in college. For during that year the weight of worry worked overtime in its vain effort to wear down this fair-haired boy. The why and wherefore of all Joe ' s bustle and hustle both mental and physical is easily discovered. No further questions are anticipated when we tell you that the business responsibilities of this very tome were the concert of this, the hope of the Whitehead clan. By his work you may jucigc hiin. Of course he ' s good. . . But don ' t hop to the wrong conclusion that man- aging the business affairs of the SUB TURRI was all that he did. ' Moreover, he is perhaps just as well known for his tennis abihtv is loi j his work in any of his other activities. The newspaper annuoncenunl ol Uk annual tournaments would inevitably say that the aspirant for thi hauls would have to count on some pretty stiff opposition from Whiteht i 1 i But, after all, the thing for which we will remember Joe is the Lui that every social affair of his class found him among those present. A tun, ni ' ht- hawk, he knew more Old France waitresses by their first names and fiLphoni. numbers than we ourselves did. And his middle name means somcthmg ' Joe is one jump ahead of most of us.

Gorman President JUNIOR sah •©tiRRi i i i I I i JUNIOR CLASS ' CONFIDENT of breaking its own records and of establishing precedents ' — ' for Junior Classes which are as yet only possibles, the Class of 1931 re- turned to Chestnut Hill after a three months respite from Greek, Latin, and Oratory, to find themselves faced by the triple-headed hydra — Philosophy, Physics, and Football. Baroco syllogisms could not prevent these hardy sons of Alma Mater from bearding the ens in its native lair, and they joined forces with the genial John in proving superiority of mind over matter. From the opening whistle, the men of ' 3 1 were in the thick of the fray on the gridiron, and seven of their members lined up against Holy Cross. Dixon, Mart, Buckley, Gorman, Morelli, Plausse, Young, Antos, Colbert, Mallott, and Vodocklys all starred in the game, and were important factors in the victory over the team from Mount St. James. Johnny Dixon was mentioned by prominent sports writers for an all-America berth, and the squad rewarded his brilliant play by honoring him with the captaincy of the eleven for 1930. Arthur Norton was at the same time elected manager. When the football season was finished, the athletes of Junior had to content themselves with track activities, for the faculty decided to abolish hockey, robbing the Junior Class of the opportunity of winning further laurels in that sport. The fame of the varsity two-mile relay team was spread through the efforts of Tom Daly, Jack O ' Brien, and Tommy Meagher. Other prominent track men were Ed Cheney, Ernie Sacco, Bob Sullivan, Bernie Trum, and Gerry Lambert. O ' Connor, Dixon, Donovan, Colbert, Gibbons, Spognardi, Temple, Regan, Ricci, Meehan, and the Shea boys greatly aided in making the baseball season a successful one. In other extra-curricular activities, members of the Class of 1931, are takiEig an active part. The weekly meetings of the Fulton have been well attendfid and much of the exciting repartee in the Open Forum following the debates has been contributed to, and oftentimes caused, by Juniors. Ed Connolly John Wright, Jerry Doyle, Frank Bertsch, have represented , Boston College on the forensic platform, against such opponents as Bates, ]thb University of New Hampshire, and Harvard University, or before the I ' inoH ' ; ' Societies who sponsor exhibition debates for the Fulton. Ill the field of literature and journalism, the Juniors have been active and ptogrtssive Among the more literary offerings which appeared in the StiiUis iFelix Doherty ' s poetry compensated in quality for what it lacked in q yiahtity His Humoresque, a regular monthly feature, was consistently the hest ' department in the magazine. The Heights pursued its previous calm, conservative tenor of the past two or three years until March, when undergraduates received the paper, and found that a complete change had taken place. Jerry Doyle, the new editor, assisted by Joe Burke and Frank Madden as Managing Editors, Ed Deveney im B M- mK®iB mi®im 193 D ag:® © a ®i®i i®i sah •EtiRRi i i I as Business Manager, showed the student body that the official news organ had been not dead, but sleeping. During 1929-1930, the Dramatic Association may be said to have become a Junior Class activity, as all the officers were Juniors, and most of the actors. Art King, managed the affairs of the society, under the capable direction of Rev. Charles M. Roddy, S.J. In addition to supporting the regular activities of the college, men of ' 31 put their shoulders to the wheel and revived an almost defunct Military Club, whose officers for the past year were all members of the class of 1931. Herbert O ' Connor, the president, received the full cooperation of all members. Besides their activity in athletics and more intellectual pursuits, the Class of 1931 was composed of social lions, judging from the social success of Junior ' Week. Beginning on Monday afternoon, with a Tea dance, and ending with the Prom, Friday night, every affair was conducted with a smoothness and precision that reflects great credit on the Class President and executive committee. Those who led the Junior Class successfully through the major and minor battles of the year, unharmed and victorious, were: Richard Gorman, presi- dent; Thomas ' Walsh, vice president: Arthur I. Norton, secretary: Francis ' West, treasurer: and Henry Buckley, A. A. Representative. Thus far, the Class of 1931 has been successful in all the activities they have encountered — on or off the campus. Nothing now is left for them to overcome — nothing, that is, but Senior, with its Psych and Ethics and Orals, and all the other adventures which this book has attempted faithfully to hint at. i i i Herbert J.

At the end of its first year at college, it had already accomplished much, shown its members to be active and efficient both individually and collectively. September, 1929, found them standing on the brink of Sophomore, ready to battle with the classics and overcome Chemistry with its attendant laboratory practice. Under an efficient administration the Sophomore Class ran a successful football dance, and presented a smoker that excelled in variety and enjoy- ment. The administration was headed by President Edward M. Gal- lagher, Jr., who received the cooperation of John J. McManus, Vice- President; Edward D. Burns, Secretary: William E. Bennett, Treasurer, and Daniel Maguire, A. A. Representative. These affairs, the Sophomore hop, and religious sodalities are the evidences of concerted action by the class, but beyond this, 1932 has been quite successful in her members who are very prominent in school activities. In football, 1932 has given such men as Harry Downes, Joe Kelley, Bill Bennett, Paul Romanowski, Dan Larkin, Ed Gallagher, Walter Kelley, John Maloney, Henry Nicholson, Andy Mullaney, Lawrence McCarthy. On the diamond, Ed Gallagher, Harry Downes, Frank Finnegan, Barney Curtin, Walter Kelley, Andy Mullaney and Johnny McCarthy showed promise of greater achievement than ever before. On the track were Brendon Moynihan, Gaurino Pasquantonio, John Carew Arthur Ward, Al O ' Shea, Dan Larkin, William O ' Brien, Joe Mer- rick, Bill Connors, George Shinney and Vincent Mackay, and G. Vincent Hern Sophorpore was well represented on the Stylus and the Heights. On the I sta of the former were George Nicholson, Activities Editor; Clarence Eraser, anfi Josebji Rock, assistant business manager, and on the Heights they were iciti also ' ' w iih George Nicholson as Chairman of the Editorial Board, Chreni.!. piascr and Edward Burns on the editorial staff, Thomas Crane, Piul BtQvvn William Egan, Carl Liddy and Robert Riley on the news staff, GetaW H rn Edward Hurley, and John Reilly on the sporting staff, and ThortiaSj Barry Charles Frazier, Richard Horton, Richard Nugent, William Griffin and Kenneth Kelley on the business staff. Then too the Marquette Debating Society beheld many sophomores in Its phee of meeting. For the last term of this year we elected Thomas Qumn President; John Reily, Vice-President; Edward Burns, Secretary; Joseph Coniior Treasurer. The appointment of Chairman of the Executive Committee was given to George Nicholson. These offices had been held BlB . l®l(B Ml(BKmi B 193 D B im © [ © 1®1 ® E ® 1®1 Sah •EtlRRL i by Peter Quinn. Joseph Rogers, John Sheehy, Thomas Quinn and Paul Brown, and also very much in evidence were Kenneth Kelley, John Lawless, Edward Cass, George Shine, Vincent Mackay, Joseph Rock, Daniel Mc- Colgan. The Military Club found many sophomores in the ranks. Joseph Paul and John Callahan held executive positions, besides being among the leading scorers. George Nicholson was publicity director. Charles Frazer, Charles Ryan, John Carew, and Kenneth Kelley were also among the fours. Naturally the Sophomores attended the Chemistry Academy, and in this group we found Thomas Barry, Gerald Hern, Joseph Lynch, Francis Fin- negan, Raymond Tierney, John Carew, and George Nicholson, publicity manager. Their record is incomplete. Our hope is that they may carry on in a manner worthy of Boston College. i I i N t 1 f George H.

Fitzgerald President FRESHMAN i i I I KUB -StlRRL FRESHMAN CLASS THE Class of 1933, the largest that has ever entered the stately bounds of Boston College has far outnumbered any previous entering classes. Not only did the Frosh surpass all in number, but also in scholastic achievements. Their first noteworthy action was the intelligent selection of capable lead- ers; choosing for President, Charles Fitzgerald: Vice President, William Mc- Carthy: Secretary, Roger T. Walsh: Treasurer, Walter Buckley: A. A. Rep- resentative, William Boehner. With these able standard bearers, the fresh- man class attained great heights, especially in the social sphere. The freshman class have had the dubious good fortune to be the only class whose members are allowed to participate in all extra-curricular activities — Greek Academy, Evidence Academy, Vergil Academy, Debating, Football, Leadership Academy, Stylus. Dramatics, etc. Many of the contributors to the Stylus have been members of the class of ' 33, and at the Dramatic Club performance last December, many of the cast were freshmen. The class was fortunate in having so many gifted athletes, but after all this is true of preceding classes and 1933 is upholding the B. C. standards. Three new extra-curricular activities were established for the freshman class, the Greek Academy, the Leadership Academy and the Evidences Acad- emy. The success of these societies was so marked that they will undoubtedly become Boston College institutions. Of special interest to those who have been brave enough to read as far as this, the three hundred and second page of SUB TURRI 1930, are the Leader- ship Academy and the Activities period. The former was instituted this year for the freshman class, and is to be continued throughout the other classes, until members of the academy are found in all the classes. Members are appointed to the academy as a result of an outstanding intellectual achieve- ment in some extra-curricular activity, and high standing in all studies. The Activities Period is an open Forum where freshman may express their opinions in public. Cornelius Dalton and John Patterson received prizes in the essay con- test that was conducted by Reverend Father McDermott, the Dean of Fresh- man. All in all, their contribution to Boston College has been noteworthy. In intellectual activities as well as athletic prowess they have upheld all the tra- ditions that were handed down to them. They came bustling onto the campus as youths eager on the path of knowledge, hoping that the Alma Mater woUld take them to her bosom. After their first year, they look back in retrospection, with pardonable pride. Only a few have left our ranks because the pace was too fast. Thus, with the f© 3i HaK] 302 ® ®1 © © 1®1 sah %tiKBi foundation of our scholastic training solidly laid and coupled with the work in the various academies, they pass on to the goal of every freshman, — Soph- omore ! Having acquired a fundamental knowledge of the Classics and an ex- cellent course in poetry. Thirty Three may look forward to the most diffi- cult year at College. If they keep up the pace that has been set this year, we have no doubt that they will be worthy classicists and skilled logicians. i i i I i 303 sah ©ttRRi i I P.

Sullivan, Nicholas J. Wells, Edward A. Hogan, Jr., and James J. Reagan, all members of the class of 1930. The Council was originally founded in 1925 and functions for the purpose of providing a definite sanctioned and sanctioning body through its members, recognized as leaders on the college activities, for the conducting of elections and the acceptance and regulation of the various academies and extra-curricular societies. When the officers took charge in September they had two paramount duties to perform. The Constitution, originally formulated by James E. Tobin, ' 25, has been mislaid or lost since 1927. This year, therefore, it became incumbent upon the directors, by the decree of the Reverend Dean, to draw up a new constitution, inculcating the brief notes handed down from year to year by the officers in charge. They also found it necessary to find some means of defraying the expenses incurred during the year by the Council, while receiving neither dues from its members nor assessments from the classes or societies. At the first meeting of the year, plans were made for drawing up the new constitution, and for the supervision of a day of official welcome to the freshman class by the student body. On November eighth. Freshman Day was held with marked success beyond all expectations. The entire program of events planned by the officers of the Council in conjunction with Rev. James McDermott, S. J., Dean of Freshman, proceeded with rapid sequence and faultless regularity. Much of the credit for the success of the day must be attributed to the immeasurable assistance of Father McDermott and his cooperation in this freshman class innovation. The Day opened with a football game between Bridgeton Academy and the Freshman team of Boston College. A record attendance for a frosh game at Alumni Field was present at the exciting six to six tussle. And that in spite of the fact that the Council was allowed to charge an admission fee which was applied to its very depleted treasury. After the game, nearly two hundred Frosh attended an informal supper in the Assembly Hall, all arrangements having been made by the Council. Entertainment was furnished by the members of the entering class. Supper was followed by the annual smoker, given to the Freshmen by the Seniors, at which Brendan McNally, Senior Class president, was chairman. The next duty of the Council came November 16, when the election for the Freshman class officers was held. The Council made all arrangements and the entire election was conducted in a very efficient manner. Another 306 sah ©aRRi i innovation was effected when the freshman class banner was presented to the newly elected freshman class president by the Senior class at a general mass meeting held on Alumni Field. This event conducted at a time when all the students could be assembled gave the new officers a fitting introduction to the student body. During the course of the year the new constitution was drawn up and approved by the members of the Council, and was accepted by the college authorities. The next business for the Council came at the close of the year, when the Class Elections were at hand. The elections were conducted by the officers of the Council, assisted by the class presidents and other members of the Council. After the tabulating of ballots for the officers of the various classes, the duties of the Student Council were concluded, and there remained only the selection of officers for the Council for the coming year. These elections were held in May. At the conclusion of the elections. Rev. Patrick J. McHugh, S. J., Dean of the college, spoke briefly to the new officers, assuring them of his coopera- tion and aid. This year, upon the vote of the Council, charms were awarded to each member. The officers of the Council for the year 1929-1930 were: President, John W. Sullivan. Honorary President, Brendan C. McNally, President of Senior. Vice President, Nicholas J. Wells, Editor of the Stylus. Secretary, Edward A. Hogan, Jr., President of the Business Club. Treasurer, James J. Reagan, President of Student Athletic Association. i mB mi im mimim 19,5 D a g:®i @ i @ g®i @ [ © ®i William J.

It is our message — an explanation of what we have attempted to accomplish and why we used the means we did. The reader can judge whether we have failed or suc- ceeded. This year, as in every preceding year, the SUB TURRI editor and staff have effected innovations in various departments of the year book. Many sugges- tions were offered to the editors, and were rejected. Many were the ideas with which we began to direct the compiling of the SUB TURRI which through force of circumstances we had to abandon. To those who fur- nished us with any ideas, no matter how slight, our thanks. Those which were practically possible and to our liking, they will no doubt find embodied in this tome. For those which were either practically impossible, or not to our liking — and De Gustibus is the motto of more than our half an edi- torial sanctum — we are grateful, and regret that they were unavailable. (This implies no lack of merit in the ideas submitted.) The editors here wish to thank the many members of the class who so willingly cooperated with them to assist in the making and publication of this Sub Turri. It has been the aim of the editors this year to have a book with as universal appeal as possible and one which would leave the most complete record of all phases of collegiate life. This we have attempted to attain by our en- larged Feature section. We have avoided the hackneyed as much as possible, at the same time not becoming too radical. Hence, the attempted original- ity in form for many of the biographical sketches, the many quotations from modern aut hors, the newer type face. . . The type, we believe, deserves a paragraph in itself. This SUB TuRRI has attempted to modernize the format of the book without in any way making it a novelty in typographical setup. Old English type has been cast aside, probably for the first time in the history of the SUB TURRI, and the type in which the body of the book has been set has been adopted for major and minor headings throughout. While the type used is a modern face called Benedictine Book, it is an adaptation for the linotype from the types of Plato de Benedictus, an Italian master printer of the Fifteenth Cen- tury. The classic character of the face is thus in harmony with the design of the border, in turn adapted from the architectural design of the College. Though the SUB TURRI Staff has indeed endeavored to present a publica- tion representative of the artistic background in which we have spent four of the best years of our life, we fear that some sections will prove to be be- neath the dignity and externals which are expected of us by some. It has long been the ambition of the editor, however, to aid in the publication of a Km m m i®i m [ mimim 19 3 Q s i®i m © ®i ® @ a® sah ©ttRRi i i i i i humorous college magazine or at least to conduct a humorous column in a college newspaper. Both desires having been frustrated by circumstances, there is no doubt that much of this volume will indicate that the desire was by no means always suppressed. The publication was delayed a few weeks longer than we had expected, but as we are not sob sisters, we attribute the fact merely to the interference of our fellow editors — the Stylus men. It is next to impossible to produce a year book worthy of the name with many pairs of eyes peeping over one ' s shoulder. And it is impossible to remove the conditions and to obtain pri- vacy of any sort while sharing an office with another publication. As a result, the office was a nominal refuge (with a window in the door) , and the work was done at home nights or week ends. To future SUB TURRI editors we leave this advice: First of all obtain an office. If you cannot obtain one, get a substitute. But above all, strive for privacy, so that your work will be of the highest quality, and the contents of your book will not be published until it has been taken from the press. Also remember, all you who are concerned with year books or other publica- tions, that just as untrustworthiness breeds suspicion, so does suspicion, especially when ill-founded, create untrustworthiness. And with these parting words of advice, obvious though they may be, and unheeded as they will doubtless be, we cover the borrowed typewriter, hand over the keys to the filing cabinet, take up our hat, and leave the office.

The Stylus: a literary magazine since 1884. While the magazines of many other colleges were peddling puny puns, puerile prattling, and pornography from prurient pens, the Stylus continued to keep the even tenor of its ways and to produce the manuscripts of young men in the process of acquiring a cultural background. Compared with the garishness of other college magazines, the Stylus may seem staid and sombre, but really. . . . The Stylus of course, governed as it is by principle domi- nated by the Ratio Studiorum stands as unassailable as the Gothic towers whence it emanates; and those who have been so rash as to assail it, have been shown that the Stylus can not and will not be assailed. The men of 1930 have had a considerable share in building the earth- works that checked the advance of the public-pandering parade of para- logistic palaver printed to palliate their pagan proclivities. Among the earliest recollections of the Stylus are two stories which we con- sider as good as anything the Stylus printed during our first two years at the College, and of course, better than most it has since published. They are Marnell ' s The Yes Man, and Kane ' s Backyard Idyll. At that time the Stylus was more than a college magazine — it was some- thing unattainable to mere freshmen. It had a high literary standard, and was unanimously acknowledged as the most exclusive club at B. C. But that was before its office was removed to the lower regions — where its mem- bers would be forced to associate with the SuB TURRI staff. Perhaps en- vironment makes a great deal of difference to a man ' s writing. But there is no doubt that the Stylus, since its exile, has not attained the same high level — at least in quantity. But before the Stylus became something real and material to us, there were some of our numbers who soared into its pages. The first of our class was Nick Wells, with an essay on Amy Lowell. Two months later Fred Cone published his sole Stylus contribution — a n oteworthy review of The King ' s Henchman. By June, Walter Glynn had published an essay on Bacon, and the Class of 1930 had shown that its members had ability. Not a little of the high Stylus quality was due to the expert advice and suggestions of Mr. William Johnson, S.J., the Moderator, who aided the editor, Charles F. Stack, without himself directing the magazine, so that it was a real undergraduate publication. Sophomore came, and Francis S. Shea, as editor, proved a fitting successor to Charles F. Stack. This year the 317 im m [ i© K®i B [ © E©2 i i i I i sah %WR.KL magazine suffered from lack of contributions, but it suffered only in quan- tity, for Martin Kane and Vic Newton were still writing, and the class of 1930 was beginning to wield a pen with greater facility than before. From the first issue, the class made itself evident in the Stylus. Nicholas Jay was the thinly concealed pseudonym under which N. J. Wells wrote in October his first Jottings of a Jay Bird — delightful, humorous and yet philosophical essays. Imagination was the keynote of his productions. He showed an amazing facility for writing, and could be effective whether the medium were prose or verse, and whether the tone were serious or humorous. The same month, William J. Koen presented the first of his verse, which was sometimes tender yet mocking, and endowed with subtlety. December saw Bill Koen ' s first, and probably best story, Claus and De- fect , and a humorous story of Nick Wells ' , Just a Carroll. Shredded Prose was the first of Bill Koen ' s parodies of other Stylus contributors. Leo Moran wrote his first essay in April, an intelligent criticism of Sier ra ' s Cradle Song. Alphonse Kalinauski appeared for the first time in May, and he was closely followed in June by Eugene P. Burns, John Llewys Con- nolly, and Francis H. Higgins, Jr. By Junior, the class was well established, and many of the articles pub- lished were by members of the class. Mr. Frederick L. Berrigan, S.J., was moderator, and John C. Jelly occupied the editor ' s chair. The Stylus may have been suffering from the proverbial familiarity, but we did not seem to appreciate it as much as we did formerly. However, it is undeniable that the Stylus reached its lowest level during our four years — at least as regards the quantity. In regard to quality — it suffices to say that Bill Butler was contributing the same sparkling verse and intellectual prose that always flows from his pen. Essentially an essayist, he delighted u s with his presentations of Theodore Maynard. On Prejudices, and Francis Thompson. In four lines on Autumn, he equalled reams of verse from others. February and March of Junior year saw Bill Koen ' s Young Swan Song , and the swan song of his prose and pseudonyms for Junior year. The Problem of the Perished Postmaster , by Phil Tration, and Risibility Plus , by Alecsander Koussemich were his last lines till September. His Stylus re- view in the Heights banned him from polite literary circles until Senior, when he was made Associate Editor of the Stylus. Nick Wells in the meantime was writing reams of stories, essays, verse, and having many of them pub- lished. His Exchange Column was one of the features of the magazine. John P. Farricy and Thomas G. Perkins made their poetic debut in May .... Tom had been writing Heights editorials, so perhaps poetry follows, for Nick Wells used to turn out at least an editorial a week for the Heights. June ushered out the last of the small size Stylus issues — which had un- accountably improved in size since the Heights criticism of the forty page March issue containing one sixteen-page essay. And June ushered in an- other new writer from Thirty. Norman Kent contributed Muffled Drums Km m m @ g®j m i © g@ © _19 3 Q ® ®i e ( ® iwi ® [ © im% 318 Sah •EO.RRI i i I @ I i to the June issue, but not a few recognized the clear cut style as the evenly balanced oratory of Edward A. Hogan. Thus another year was brought to a close — a very eventful year for the Stylus, and for the members of 1930 connected with it. The smallest year of all — only 476 pages, as compared to 544 of Sophomore or 588 of Fresh- man — yet 1930 had more contributors and staff members than ever. Senior arrived at last, and while the class was still almost incredulous of the fact that they were Seniors, the Stylus suddenly appeared — on time, and the college was astounded. A 64 page issue in October! . . . This wouldn ' t go on all year long! . . . But it did! As Editor, Nicholas J. Wells saw to it that the Stylus appeared during its titular month, and contained sixty-four pages, as many as funds would allow. Assisting him were William J. Koen, restored to the staff as Assoc. Ed.; William H. Butler, Exchange Editor — and an excellent column he wrote each month; Francis H. Higgins, Jr. as Alumni Editor — with a real chatty alumni column getting us ready for the future; and John W. Mclntyre, as Assistant Editor — with frequent contributions of poetry. On the business staff were John J. Cusack, Business Manager, looking after the financial end of the magazine, energetic to the point of interrupting publication for a last minute advertisement; William E. Trainor, Jr., Circulation Manager, who saw that you received your Stylus or knew the reason why; Leo P. Moran, Advertising Manager, helped the makeup of the ads, and contributed to the prose work. Brendan C. McNally was the Assistant Treasurer — he would have been Treasurer, only the banking is done at St. Mary ' s Hall. Literarily, the articles were of the quality expected from Stylus contribu- tors. John W. Mclntyre ' s verse was neat, well rounded, and in a Celtic strain. And you ' ll find John ' s humor scintillating on many of these pages. Leo P. Moran contributed not often, but quite well — serious essays, in- structive and interesting. Nick Wells ' stories became better and better, his much-discussed Sketched in Purple , being the probable climax of his short stories, in which he specialized in Senior. His style did not suffer due to his position on the staff, but improved. Edward A. Hogan contributed again in Senior, when other activities permitted. So did Walter Glynn, who dis- appointed many readers by not writing oftener. John P. Farricy, Jr., pleased many with his skillful verse. Frank Higgins, the troubador of 1930, captured us all with his delicate verses. He could be playful or serious, highly emotional, or sincerely devoted. Brown Eyes , Girl on A Strap , Cal- vary at the Crib and Night Wind , are examples from his prolific pen. Bill Koen wrote less than before, producing Oh, My Dear! which merely hinted at sentiment, the only piece worthy of mention. His First Robin was a clever parody. During the past year, the Stylus underwent such a great change in makeup that the Carolina Magazine commented on its format as the best the editors had seen. mm MKmiB MJBEmim 193 D g:®i e [ © ®i ® c © i®i John J.

Freshman found us avidly reading the Heig ' hts each week, even the editorials. Of course, in late years, this practice has fallen by the wayside. Perhaps it is because there is nothing new in the editorial columns any more. However that may be, the editorials — from the capable pen of Vic New- ton — gave us much to think of. and yet more to talk of. Feature articles, too, there were a-plenty. From the beginning, our class has been active in the journalistic field, and among the first articles of note in the Heights was a communication by N. J. W. ' 30 — the plaintive crying of a lonely fresh- man. This was in March. The following week, two letters appeared in refutation, and N. J. W. ' 30 was invited to write for the Heights. An editorial in the Stylus some weeks later, refuted the freshman, who by this time had seen his feature on having one ' s hair cut, emblazoned over two columns of the official news organ of the college. Shortly after this, some Modern Reviews, parodies of newspaper book-reviews, appeared in the weekly, and on April 12th and May 10th respectively, Nick Wells and Bill Koen were added to the Heights staff. Al McCarthy had been on the staff about a month, and Jack Hayes was a Heights man the year before. The quality of the sports articles also seemed to improve very suddenly upon the advent of the class of 1930. and on March 26th, Jack Dwyer was made a staff member. September 27, 1927 — Volume IX, Number 1. Already veteran corres- pondents by this time were: Jack Hayes, Frank Higgins, Bill Koen, Al McCarthy, and Bill Trainor. Sport writers who had already made a place for themselves in the sun — or on the Heights — were Jack Dwyer and Bud Gillooly. Al Porcis and John Merrick were aiding the business end of the paper, while Nick Wells was writing editorials which were always readable, and often interesting, and that ' s going some. In October, Waaldo W. Waldo, ' 49, appeared among the columns, causing much controversy as to his identity. It was not until Junior that Jack Spencer of ' 29 was found to be the culprit. The class did not partake in any further Heights features until the last of November when N. J. Wells answered a communication of a Serious Sophomore whose fame was to become more widespread than any other contributor to the Heights until March 1929. In the meantime, Vic Newton ' s column On This And That alternately amused, or gave food for thought. In January, the first of the class to break into the On This And That column was Phil Tration Koen — the name was probably inspired by the Chemistry Academy which he had been covering since September. Johnny Grandfield had been giving the news of the Marquette and other activities, while Leo Moran was writing up the Spanish Academy and Under the Towers. Jack Hayes in the meantime, was having charge of alternate issues with Denny Sughrue, ' 29. In February. Waldo ' s Watson a pseudo-detective story (author Phil Tration) based on the tale of the Serious Sophomore and Waaldo W. Waldo, occupied nearly a full page. It was followed the next week by an editorial on the search for the Serious Soph, who was really a Senior and who had been writing continually and humorously. © K®iB mK®iB ®imim 193 D B£®iei @g:®i® Dg® Sa.h •KClRRI i i i Koen ' s and Kelley ' s Edition of Stylus Appears in Latest Issue was the headline which ushered in the first Stylus review to be written for the Heights by Bill Koen, whose reviews later became more than well known at the college. The same week a communication by Upson Downes Wells refuted a refutation of one of Nick ' s editorials. It was answered by Herman Hermits, but Editor Newton had the rebuttal that week. On March thirteenth, with the editorial Swan Song the curtain was drawn on another managing board, and the last of the eight page issues for some time to come. The following week, Jack Hayes was elected Managing Editor on the new staff, and Nick Wells was nominated Chairman of the Editorial Board, but the position was abolished. The Problem of the Perished Postmaster by Phil Tration was accepted by the Heights and set up in type, but a sudden ban on humor in the columns abolished the On This And That column of Newton ' s as well as Serious Soph, Waaldo Waldo, and other articles. Two weeks after the advent of the new Board, the On This And That in a serious form was revived. For the second issue of Volume X, Bill Koen had charge of the issue for the first time. The following week he began a series of book reviews for the Library Shelf. Two weeks later John Grandfield directed the makeup. Bill Koen again and Leo Moran had charge of the second and third following issues, respectively. Grandfield, Koen and Moran alternated during the rest of the year in directing the makeup. Often two or all of them made up the paper in collaboration — frequently without the aid of either managing editor. On November 13th, the annual Stylus-Heights football game was brought before the public by a communication from Will D. Brand Moran, repre- senting the Stylus, and was replied to by the Hvlus Clique, represented by Bill Koen. November 27th. Eagles Ready For Annual Purple Classic was the streamer headline which confronted Heights readers. This type headline later achieved great popularity. In the fall and winter of our senior year, they were used with amazing regularity. The wording L. P. Moran and W. J. Koen In Charge of This Issue beneath the staff head was so large that on a copy of the paper corrected by the editor later in the week was written Was editorial title omitted to make room for names? Two weeks later the first Stylus review by Moran and Koen in collabora- tion was published, and passed practically unnoticed. The following week a Stylus review for the month of November appeared. The Heights editor approached Mr. Koen in the lunch room and said, Say Bill, that Stylus review of yours and Leo ' s (Mr. Moran ' s) was the worst thing in the issue, next to the Hamlet writeup. For the performance of Hamlet had been also reviewed, by a member of the class of 1929, with undue praise accord- ing to the editor. January 29th: Football Revue Awaits Curtain; ' Zeus ' plays opposite Paddy Creeden as Prima Donna — the Junior play headline: Students Re- ceive January Stylus — another Stylus review. February 5th: Football Revue Scores Big Hit and a review by the erstwhile Stylus reviewer — W. J. K. The review was deplored by Mr. Doyle of ' 31, who was answered by W. J. K. The same week, the Fulton election results were relegated to the last page — the fourth, for the Heights had gradually dwindled. The last of February, Leo Moran, one of the three men under considera- mmim 19 3 D ®)i®i i i i i i sah ■©d.RRL tion for the two positions of Managing Editor, decided that the Heights poHcy was not in accord with his own. He resigned. He was at once made Fulton Debate Manager. The February Stylus was reviewed in the issue of March 12th, this time by Mr. Koen alone. The Parrakeet said that week: ' Tor every good book there are twenty bad ones. March IQth: Heights managing board nomina- tions were announced. The honor roll was printed. The following week a new ma naging board took possession. The features were more new type headlines: Kissing the Blarney Stone by Nick Wells; Koen ' s Iconolast, a new column: and the pictures of Messrs. John J. Hayes, editor; William J. Koen and John J. Grandfield, Managing Editors; Nicholas J. Wells, Chair- man of the Editorial Board: John F. Dwyer, Sports Editor; Alphonse B. E. Porcis, Business Manager; Edward M. Kearns, Treasurer; Neil T. O ' Connor, Circulation Manager: and Edward P. Deveney, ' 31, Advertising Manager. The following week, these were retained, with the exception of the pictures. But the feature was a review of the March Stylus. The Heights reached the College Wednesday morning. Thursday morning, as Bill Koen was about to enter the Stylus sanctum, such privilege was denied him by the Moderator of said publication. He was gently but firmly told that he was no longer a member of the Stylus staff. At 1:30 P. M., Mr. Koen had a very short but important business meeting with the reverend Moderator of the Heights. The review with its attendant headline had been his undoing. Friday, while Mr. Koen was penning a resignation to the Heights, the Managing Board of that conservative paper was electing Mr. Charles A. McCarthy Managing Editor as his successor. Until Monday morning, when the Heights editor received the resignation, there were three Managing Editors on the Heights Staff, but only two of them were at the printer ' s. The first of the new streamer headlines appeared May 7th; Law School Opens in September. There were no more Stylus reviews until the follow- ing March, when Bill Koen resumed his former activities — in a very half- hearted manner. Junior came to an end with a two line streamer: ' Tifty-Second Com- mencement Exercises on June Twelfth. September, 1929. We returned to read the Heights in Senior. Among the more important features for the year were the ill-fated Dunsinane Mur- der Case by U. S. S. Vantine Koen, more streamer headlines, and more streamer headlines. Nick Wells ' editorial What of Hockey caused more comment than his editorial of the year before; Handshaking with the Faculty. Streamer head followed streamer head. The Dramatic produc- tion took place in December. Mr. Wells was assigned to review it. He sub-let the contract to Mr. Koen who wrote a review which Managing Editor Grandfield liked, but did not publish. Mr. Moran ' s version was finally accepted, Messrs Koen and Moran, though no longer on the Heights staff, became frequent contributors, and on the abdication of the managing board in March both were replaced on the staff. The Heights, under Jerome Doyle ' 31, be- came suddenly radical, and the articles, judging from complaints from the various academies and societies, were at least slightly out of accord with the truth. However, there is promise of improvement, so the Heights may in time to come, be more the ideal college paper, and less the sensational tabloid. But we of ' 30, who are interested in the welfare of all organizations at the college extend to the Heights our best wishes for the future. Km B - l®im l®l 193 Q e ®1 @ [ @ ® ® E ' S a®l Harold P.

The class has established itself with prominence in all the activities of the college. Its activities in one activity have been particularly eminent, namely debating. From its Freshman year the Class of 1930 was fated to make no small name for itself. Enrolled in its ranks were nearly a score of men who came to the college with the most impressive of scholastic, forensic records behind them — men, actually well experienced with the platform and public audiences, an experience garnered through the keenest of interscholastic competition. Added to these ex- perienced speakers were a wealth of Freshmen entering debating as an activity, for the first time, but thoroughly imbued with a spirit to develop themselves and set as their ambition, the desire to represent Boston College upon the platform. Consequently, when the Marquette Debating Society extended its invitation to Freshmen to join its ranks, it was only to be expected that the class of ' 30 availed themselves of the opportunity and responded magnifi- cently. So rapidly did we adapt ourselves and enter into the spirit of the Marquette, that in a short time we exhibited forensic abilities superior to the Sophomores which established our position in debating circles. During the year 1926, the efforts of the Intercollegiate Committee to secure public discussions were fruitless. Activities therefore were mainly in- tra-mural. The value of experience from constant intra-mural oral expres- sions were fully commensurate with the time so devoted. On the evening of March 16, 1927 the annual Marquette Prize Debate, the class of 1930 made its Intercollegiate debut in this debate through the splendid efforts of two of its members, who were selected as prize debaters, namely Edward Hogan and James Murphy. The question was the interest- ing Supreme Court-Congress veto discussion. The negative, composed of Messrs. Hogan. ' 30, Tobin, ' 29, and Leen, ' 29, was awarded the decision over Messrs. Murphy, ' 30, Frawley, ' 29 and O ' Keefe, ' 29. Following the prize debate, the clash between Sophomore and Freshmen Marquette members took place. The immigration problem, extremely per- tinent at that time was discussed. The honor of 1930 was upheld by Messrs. Ward, Gough and O ' Sullivan while 1929 was upheld by Messrs. McManus, McElroy and Landrigan. However the efforts of our representatives were not sufficient to triumph over the Sophomores. The Marquette representatives journeyed to Worcester on the evening of May 15th to debate Holy Cross, on the question of immediate independence for the Philippines. Again 1930 was represented. Messrs. O ' Keefe, ' 29, Hogan, ' 30 and Leen, ' 29 composed the Marquette team and only after a well-nigh bloody strife, did they return home on the short-end of a two- to-one decision. The term came to a close following this debate and the Class of 1930 felt humbly satisfied with the results of its youngster year in debating at B. C. We departed keenly anticipating the year to come when as lofty Sophomores we were to carry on as veteran members in the Marquette. SOPHOMORE Eager to continue the work of the Marquette, and to meet the obliga- tions entrusted to us by our older brothers of the class of 1929, who were Kmm . K®i@ mi Bmi(B 193 Q ag:®ie[ © g:® ® 1® i®i sah ■Kd.RRi i i i I i now Fultonians, we immediately set out as Sophomores to obtain Intercol- legiate debates. During the first semester, the Marquette guided by the moderator, John C. Proctor, S.J., and under such officers as Edward Hogan, Jame s Murphy, John Grandfield, and William Ward, achieved no little share of success. The first intercollegiate debate was scheduled for the second week in January with Clark University in Worcester, but due to some unforeseen managerial difficulties the meeting was cancelled on the eve of the debate. The highlight of our Sophomore year in debate took place on Sunday, March 1 1th, 1928, when the annual Marquette Prize debate was held. The important question, facing the people of the country at that time, of inter- vention in Latin America was discussed, in the proposition, Resolved: ' That the United States Should Withdraw her Marines from Nicaragua. ' The affirmative was up held by Messrs. William Wallace, ' 30, Jerome Doyle, ' 31 and Edward Hogan, ' 30. The negative defended by Messrs. Harold P. Sulli- van, Robert Hughes and Leo P. Moran was awarded the decision. Mr. Harold P. Sullivan presenting the superior development in respect to logic, composition and delivery, in the opinion of both judges and audience, re- ceived the much coveted Gargan award. Following the Prize Debate Intercollegiate debates were held with Provi- dence, Dartmouth and Holy Cross Colleges, in all of which the Marquette was declared the happy victor. The year was brought to a close with a truly happy and spirited informal banquet, held in the Philomatheia Chalet and attended by all the members and with several representatives of the faculty as guests. The officers during the second semester were William Ward, President; Robert Hughes, Vice-President; Leo P. Moran, Secretary; and John O ' Neil, Treasurer. Under their leadership the most successful year that the Mar- quette has ever had was brought to a happy conclusion. JUNIOR Enriched in no small way by the valuable experience received during our successful apprenticeship in the Marquette, we were now in our Junior year to receive and enjoy a most happy privilege, admittance to the Fulton De- bating Society, the oldest and most hallowed organization at Boston College, a society whose prestige and impressive record stands as a significant tribute to Boston College, her system and the calibre of her students. Many of our classmates joined the society and were welcomed by the Fulton ' s new moderator, Mr. W. Edmund Fitzgerald, S. J. We were de- termined to hold the banner of the Fulton aloft and carry it to further heights. However our ambitions had to be restrained at the start and the Fulton proceeded under the leadership of Henry M. Leen, ' 29. He was ably assisted by Leo P. O ' Keefe and Thomas P. Sullivan. After many pleasant intra-mural debates, we opened the intercollegiate debating season for 1928 on the evening of November 2nd, by defeating the representatives of Oxford University in Ford Hall, Boston. The victorious B. C. team was composed of Messrs. Leen, Ho gan and O ' Keefe. Bostonians that night were more in- terested it would seem in viewing the traditional Republican torch light parade and we were forced to debate our British friends before a very small audience. The second debate on the schedule was held prior to the Christmas holidays. Fordham was our rival, the debate iteslf was one of the best con- tested battles of the season. The subject under discussion was the relative merits of the Baumes Laws of New York State. By a two to one verdict we ' [ Bim( 19 3 Q S l@l ® t sl @ K®1, B 1 © EB1 330 i i i i i i i •aB ■eaRRi were forced to bow to our Gotham rivals even though Harold P. Sullivan, ' 30, John L. Frawley, ' 29 and Frank Harkins, ' 29 put up a great battle. The second and final international debate of the season took place early in February when we met the members of the Sydney University Debating So- ciety. Having come all the way from Australia, they were forced to go home with another defeat from the Fulton attached to them. The team of Messrs. Hogan, Leen and O ' Keefe was again victorious. The international debates that the Fulton had conducted were successes in every way but they were financial failures. The Society was forced to curb its international conquests and strive for national honors. At this time the elections for the second term were held and the able and aggressive Alfred J. Monahan, ' 29 was elected President. He was assisted by John L. Frawley, ' 29 and Edward U. Lee, ' 29, as minor officers. The new president faced a hard task in arranging the program for the balance of the year and he en- trusted this work to a member of our class, Leo P. Moran. As Manager of Debate for over two seasons he set a record that has not been equalled in the history of the Fulton. Within a short period, ten debates had been added to our schedule due to the efforts of the new manager. On February 10th, a team composed of Harold P. Sullivan, ' 30, Edward U. Lee, ' 29 and John Landri- gan, ' 29 defeated Pittsburg University. Pittsburg had an enviable record. They were undefeated in twelve debates until they were downed by the Fultonians. The greatest venture of the season, the Harvard Debate was the next feature on the program. The project was a dangerous one in that it was a hard task to fill Symphony Hall when a question of mediocre interest, capital punish- ment, was being discussed. However let it be said to the credit of President Monahan and Manager Moran that the debate was a financial success. Under the terms of the contract, the Fulton assumed the managerial responsibilities for the debate. And let it be said to the credit of the Boston College team, Messrs. O ' Keefe, Hogan and Leen, that Harvard University suffered its second defeat from the Fulton in as many years. With the Harvard victory ringing in our ears we went to Brockton where we met the representatives of Loyola University of Chicago. Edward Lee, ' 29 and James McManus, ' 29 represented the Fulton. The Chicagoans came, saw and conquered. Not discouraged we met and defeated New York Uni- versity at Lowell under the auspices of the Lowell Boston College Club. William J. Wallace represented our class in that debate. Debating relations having been renewed with Bates College we held a most interesting no-de- cision debate with the Maine College in the High School Auditorium at Pawtucket. Rhode Island. The three debates mentioned above were held off campus under the auspices of the Boston College and the favor and approval with which people in the remote sections of the state greeted the Fultonians was marked. At the Heights only a limited few were able to attend the de- bates but this policy enabled people in Brockton, Lowell and Rhode Island to hear the representatives of Boston College expound in clear, logical speeches the various topics of the day. The Granite State was invaded by the Fultonians in March and we held a no-decision debate with New Hampshire University. The Annual Prize Debate was held on April 7th, at the Heights. Leo P. O ' Keefe, ' 29 was deemed worthy by the judges of the Roberts Medal which is annualy awarded to the best Fultonian debater through the generosity of Mrs. Vincent. P. Roberts. On April 19th two intercollegiate debates were held, one at Waterville, Maine with Colby College and another at New York City with imm mi®i mmi 193 D a ®i @ [ @ ®i © e i i i i sah ' im.Ki New York University. Thomas Kelly, ' 30 made his debut at Waterville. This day was an unlucky one for the Fulton and our gallant warriors were forced to bow to their rivals. Ill luck continued and on April 21 we lost again to Fordham University at Gotham. The final debate of the year was with our traditional rival, Holy Cross. The Newton Council, Knights of Columbus has donated a trophy and the college that wins three debates out of five will be entitled to permanent pos- session of the cup. Having defeated the Crusaders in 1927 and 1928 our warriors tried valiantly to retain the cup for the Fulton but in vain and Messrs. Hogan, Leen and O ' Keefe bowed to Holy Cross and to defeat for the first time in the long season. During the year several lecture debates were held in which Leo Moran, Leon O ' Brien, Nicholas Maffeo, James Mahoney and Frank Mahoney par- ticipated. These debates were held before various Knights of Columbus Councils, Advertising Clubs, civic clubs and women ' s clubs and all of them were highly successful. The season was brought to a close with a banquet at the University Club and Alfred Monahan acted as toastmaster. The guests of the evening were Reverend Fathers Keyes and Corrigan and the retiring moderator, Mr. Fitz- gerald. During the brief term that Mr. Fitzgerald acted as moderator of the Fulton, he won the respect and admiration of all and he was given a rousing reception at the banquet. Humorous entertainment was provided for by Thomas P. Sullivan, ' 29 who read the Prophecy and William J. Koen, ' 30, who read the Will. The new officers were installed at the banquet and five members of our Class were chosen to direct the activities of the Fulton during senior. Harold P. Sullivan was chosen as president and he has merited the office by his ex- cellent presentations in intercollegiate debates. Leo P. Moran was selected as vice-president and let it be said that the moderator remarked that much of the year ' s success was due to the new vice-president. William J. Koen, who had made himself famous by reading Critic ' s reports, was elected secretary and Nicholas A. Maffeo who had appeared in several lecture debates was chosen to fill the position of treasurer. T. Guy Perkins was delegated to act as censor. And thus ended a famous chapter in the history of the Fulton. SENIOR That time, which four years previous, had seemed so far and distant when as Seniors we would assume the position as leaders in the debating activity at Boston College had finally arrived. We entered on our final year of debating. With the splendid records of our predecessors before us and realizing the ideals and responsibilities that we would be forced to fulfill, we determined, and set as our first ambition, the desire to make the Fulton of 1930 one of the best years ever, and to leave a record behind us that might be justly pointed to in the future years by those who review it as something to be distinctly proud of. We can admit that our desire has been realized and the Fulton record in our public debates and in our private meetings has proved more than successful. Mr. William J. Kenealy, S.J., was appointed to serve as the moderator succeeding Mr. W. Edmund Fitzgerald, S.J., who had gone to France for further studies. Under the leadership of Harold P. Sullivan as President, and Leo P. Moran as Vice President and intercollegiate debate manager, one of the most ambitious schedules of recent years was undertaken. During 332 a i®i m E © i®i i i i i sah •EtiRRi the season, Holy Cross, New York University, Bates, Harvard, Connecticut Agricultural, Fordham, Princeton, Dartmouth, Johns Hopkins and New Hampshire were met. In addition to this elaborate program the Society itself took on new life and the meetings were more than enlivened. The success of many of the debates — excluding the financial outcome, was due in great part to the reception committee, whose members, William J. Koen, chairman, and Nicholas J. Wells, helped our guests to forget the judges ' decision. (The committee did not function for the Holy Cross Debate in which B. C. was defeated.) The first public debate of the season was held on December 8, 1929, and the representatives of Connecticut Agricultural College were our opponents. Thomas Kelley, William J. Wallace, and Edward Connelly, ' 31, succeeded in proving that our government should not recognize the Soviet Govern- ment of Russia. Shortly before the Christmas recess, the Fulton, departing from its usual custom, staged a mock trial. William J. Koen, the secretary, was tried un- der the name of Marcus Brutus, for the murder of one Julius Caesar. Justice Nicholas A. Maffeo of the Supreme Court of Rome was the pre- siding judge, and needless to say Mr. Justice Maffeo acquitted himself with his usual excellence. Brutus Koen was defended by a member of the junior class representing Cicero, and Leo Moran assumeci the role of the District Attorney, Mark Antony. John Mclntyre was foreman of the jury. Among the important witnesses were Nick Wells as Mrs. Caesar and Charles Galla- gher as the First Citizen. A fine trial ensued and the jury declared the de- fendant not guilty amidst a roar of disapproval. This departure served to enliven the Fulton meetings for the rest of the year. The second debate of the year was held with Fordham University on the evening of December 22nd. Edward Hogan and James Murphy of our class were on the team that repulsed the Gothamites after two defeats the previous season. Starting off the new year, the Fulton had the pleasure of meeting Johns Hopkins University of Baltimore for the first time in debate. Again we were successful and annexed the third unanimous victory of the season. Harold P. Sullivan and James Mahoney were responsible for the brilliant performance against the Baltimore University. A trio of Fulton orators, hopped the rattler for Lewiston, Maine, on January 1 2th, where a debate was held with Bates College on the following evening. Bates has claimed the world championship for debating and we were pleased to renew the splendid relations that had been established the year before. This debate was a no-decision affair and an open forum held at the conclusion of the debate was extremely successful. The Boston College Team was composed of Nicholas J. Wells, Jerome Doyle, ' 31, and Leo P. Moran. Reports from Lewiston papers which found their way back to the Heights indicated that the Fultonians had conquered the Pine Ifree State. The first semester was brought to a close with the retirement of Harold P. Sullivan as President. Under his leadership the Fulton had continued its march of progress and all credit is due him. The energetic intercollegiate debate manager, Leo P. Moran, was rewarded the presidency and moved up from Vice President to the highest office of the Fulton Debating Society. The choice was a wise one because he had worked for two seasons to bring the Fulton into its rightful position in the intercollegiate world and with Harold Sullivan he shares the spotlight in debating circles. Once again a debate with Harvard University was arranged on the timely K®im mK®iB @mim 193 D s ®i@[ a i®i m © mi i i i i 1 Silh ©ilRRL question of the repeal of the Massachusetts Baby Volstead Act. Edward A. Hogan was the sole senior representative on the team and his efforts were largely responsible for a third consecutive victory over Harvard in as many years. This debate was broadcast over Station WLEX through the courtesy of Mr. John Shepard 3rd, of the Shepard Stores. More than 2500 people filled Symphony Hall and the debate was a huge financial success. Follow- ing this debate, President Moran retired as Debate Manager and appointed John J. Wright, ' 31, to fill the post that he had so ably conducted. The fourth victory of the season was won at the expense of the University of New Hampshire, and C. Albert McCarthy and Francis A. Mahoney were the senior members on the victorious team. March 9th found the Fulton up against a strong team from Dartmouth College and under James Mahoney and John Groden the Fulton captured its sixth victory of the season. This debate was held in South Boston under the auspices of the Boston College Club of South Boston. Through the generosity of Mr. Shepard again the Fulton debated Princeton University over the radio. This was the First Fulton debate ever to be broadcast from a studio. Harold Sullivan and John Wright were able to bring a unanimous victory back to the Heights and our record was kept unblemished. Our next opponent was the team from Colorado College. This debate was held in the Commander Hotel in Cambridge under the auspices of the Cambridge B. C. Club and rumor has it our president, Leo Moran, was largely responsible for making this debate a great success. The Fulton an- nexed its eighth victory of the season. The Annual Fulton Prize Debate was held in April and James Murphy, Edward Hogan, and Francis Mahoney were the three seniors who appeared. The Gold Medal, the generous gift of Mrs. Vincent P. Roberts was awarded to Edward A. Hogan. The Fultonians then set Gothamward. Earlier in the season they had visited Maine and now New York was to be conquered. A no-decision debate was held with New York University on the topic of the emergence of women from the home. Following this interesting debate we met Ford- ham University for the second time during the season and were again vic- torious, thereby avenging the two def eats of the previous season. James Mahoney, Edward Hogan and John Wright were responsible for the vic- tory. But our season was not to be without defeat. On the eighteenth of May the team that had previously defeated Harvard bowed to our traditional rivals from Holy Cross. So Holy Cross now has two legs on the Cup offered by the Newton Knights of Columbus Council and we have a similar claim to it because of our victories in 1927 and 1928. But whatever sorrow we might have had due to this mournful defeat by the Crusaders, disappeared at the time of our annual banquet which was held at the Philomatheia Club house on Mav 22. Leo P. Moran, the retiring ores ' dent, presided as master of toasts and the invited guests were Father McHugh, Father Corrigan, Father Keyes, Mr. Raymond Sullivan, and Mr. Thomas Canan of North Easton. The members of the Marquette Debating Society were invited to join in the festivities and the banquet was declared to be a distinct success, all of which was due to Nicholas Wells, who had arranged the affair. The en- tertainment was excellent as we may judge inasmuch as Frank Gallagher was the prophet, William J. Koen the poet, and Jerome Doyle, the testator. The 334 i Sdh ©ttRRI feature of the banquet was a skit by Koen, Wells and Nicholson, ' 32, en- titled: Behind the Front Page. And so the Fulton concluded one of the most brilliant years of its ex- istence and the success was a tribute to our moderator, Mr. William J. Kenealy, S.J., who had worked hard all year long for the Society. Since he will in all probability be our moderator for two more years, 1930 bids him good luck and we urge the members of the Class of 1931 to carry on. Their task is not an easy one but they will do themselves honor by working for the Fulton Debating Society and Boston College. Contrary to custom, Fulton keys this year were not awarded to all Senior public debaters and officers, but only to the Senior intercollegiate debaters. i FULTON OFFICERS i First Term Harold P.

Powurs President L ' ACADEMIE FRANCAISE They don ' t chirp or sing — they peep. — Planner. sah •EttRRi i i i I i M L ' ACADEMIE FRANCAISE ONE of the leading societies of the college, and as far as the SUB TURRI editors were able to discover, the only society for the perfection and ex- ercise of a language other than English in which the Class of 1930 are able to take an active part is L ' Academie Fran aise since the matriculation of the present senior class has held the constant attention of our members, and which has been supported mainly by them. As in past years, the Academy has made progress and gradually increased its influence until in this year of grace, we find L ' Academie bigger and better than ever. This year the advances have been made, not only in the numbers attracted within the portals of the society, but in the expansion of its activities. Ever progressive, this year it has taken a large step forward in adding to its curriculum of dramatics and debating, a distinct novelty in the form of a historical seance to further the cause of a state wide tercentenary celebration of the founding of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. To those who have for four years watched the evident growth of the Academy, it is obvious — even to the most casual observer — that its success is founded largely on the untiring efforts of the Rev. Paul deMangeleere, the Faculty Director, and M. Andre de Beauvivier, whose influence was every- where evident. Both have given of their best efforts, and have done much for the welfare of the society. Le Pere as Father deMangeleere is affection- ately known to the members, speaks nearly every week on the subject of the day, and provides endless amusement to the members by giving humorous readings and by reciting amusing anecdotes in French. Monsieur de Beauvivier has also done much toward increasing the mem- bership by introducing to L ' Academie many of his own pupils, and others who were interested in increasing their knowledge of the French tongue. As dramatic coach, he has given much of his time to perfecting the members of the academy in their pronunciation as well as in giving them an adroitness in the histrionic art. He has made a success of the production of many French plays, including Les Deux Sourds and Le Pater. At the end of the season of 1928-1929, when the elections were held, a bill was passed which decreed that in the future elections will be held twice a year, instead of annually, as has been the custom. This ruling will be effective in the near future. Of the Seniors elected to offices, Edward J. Powers was chosen president; John J. Donlan, vice-president; and S. Edward Flynn, Librarian. Among the members of the Academy, Nicholas A. Maffeo alone has been an active member since his Freshman year at the college. In Sophomore, he added much to the performance of Les Deux Sourds as he was the only member of the cast who was also a member of the Dramatic Association, and had had previous experience in Shakespearian productions. In Junior, he took upon his shoulders the burden of Secretary, and in the spring of that year he won second prize in the French Oratorical Contest, losing first place hy a very narrow margin to Albert Thibault, ' 31. Edward Powers joined the Academy in Sophomore, and immediately proved a willing worker. His true pronunciation, and his effervescent wit proclaimed him at once a leader. As these qualities aided him in becoming an interesting lecturer, he was appointed as one of the two delegates to represent the college in an oratorical contest with representatives from Boston Univer- K®lB .@K®lB mimim 193D e ®i© @r® ® ©g®i sah ■KftRRi i i i sity and Tufts. As president, he has spread his fame by winning first prize in the historical meeting. John J. Donlan has been an active member for three years, and when but a fiedgUng in the society took a major role in Les Deux Sourds. Elected librarian in Junior, he also took part in the first French Oratorical Contest. In Senior, he was vice-president, and one of the three men to represent the college in an historical meeting. Edward Flynn, who has during the past year proven himself an efficient and witty librarian, has during his three-year membership very agreeably en- tertained the Academy with lectures on various French authors, among the most noteworthy being De Maupassant, Zola, Rousseau, and Bazin. Thomas G. Perkins has been a member, like most of the present members, since his sophomore year. Although never appointed for a public program, his work within the society, has been most valuable, and his assistance has been noteworthy. William I. Proctor and John Lyons, are the most recent additions to the ever increasing membership, and they have been faithful representatives of the senior class. Although not a member of the Academy during his senior year, since his energy was being expended on the official news organ, John J. Hayes joined the academy in Freshman, when he occupied the presiding chair at the prize debate. In Sophomore he was elected secretary, where he served efficiently until the Heights demanded his presence elsewhere. The majority of the members for the past few years are from the lower classes. Several of them hold offices and have represented the Academy in its public programs. As a natural result, we feel confident that we of 1930 can pass on the torch to our successors in the lower classes. To the members of the class of 1933 in particular, who have been zealous in their assistance, we look in the fond hope that the torch of our ideals will be held high, and that our deeds will be equalled, and perhaps exceeded, by those who take our places. i I i Kmm @E.®i mKmm 193 D a ®i © [ @ e®i ® © i Francis L. Gallagher President EL CIRCULO ESPANOL . . .A land having an ocean, miles of water, between It and this land, America. — Eli Siegel. I i i I I i Sah ' KClRRI EL CIRCULO ESPANOL FOUR years ago when a great drive was on for Spanish Academicians, it was the Class of 1930, which contributed most to the active member- ship of the Club. What they lacked in numbers was made up in the ability anci new life that they brought to the Academy. Mr. Frederick Conlin, the moderator, was overjoyed in seeing such of his Freshman pupils as Frank Gallagher, Leo P. Moran, John Cusack, Frank Murphy, Edward Kearns and Thomas Kelly, eagerly disseminating Spanish lore in debates, lectures, plays and conversation. This group was determined to carry on the oldest language club at Boston College and we have only to look at the record of the Spanish Academy during the past few years to see that this is more than true. In Freshman year the representatives of 1930 were not able to take an active part in directing the affairs of the Academy but they showed their zeal in the literary events and programs offered by the Society. The out- standing event of the year was a debate on the relative merits of Shakespeare and Calderon as dramatists. Leo Moran, Thomas Kelly and Roy Mac- Donald, ' 28 defended the Bard of Avon while Frank Gallagher, John Cusack and John O ' Brien, ' 27 attempted to show that the Castilian poet was su- perior as a dramatist. This debate required considerable research and the members of the Academy were delighted with the results. As a result of their activity in Freshman, two members of our class were elected to office. Frank Gallagher won the post of Treasurer by a unanimous vote and Thomas Kelly was elected Secretary. During our Sophomore year the Academy underwent a revival in the full sense of the word. Leo Moran proposed a plan to interest the various consuls of Spanish speaking countries in Boston in the affairs of the Boston College Club. With Frank Gallagher he visited the representatives of Spain, Cuba, Peru, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Venezuela, Panama, Bolivia, Paraguay and the Dominican Re- public. These two obtained considerable diplomatic experience and the Academy profited by the mission. Several moving pictures of educational value were secured by the consuls for the Academy and the entire student body responded by filling the Physics Hall when these films were shown. A considerable amount of information was secured which enabled the mem- bers to give lectures on the various South American countries. Edward Kearns gave a very interesting lecture on Chile, and he especially narrated the story of the famous nitrate deposits. Frank Gallagher delivered a scholarly dissertation on the literary traditions of Peru, Leo Moran will be remembered as the member who could tell Spanish anecdotes in such a manner that even those with a less facile understanding of the language could appreciate. He discussed Cuba at length in a lecture and showed the rapid development of of the country. Several consuls personally addressed the Academy and lauded the work of the Club. After the elections in our Junior year, we found Frank Gallagher elected to the vice-presidency again by a unanimous vote. Frank ' s rewards were justly merited. Leo Moran was elected to be the first man to serve in the newly created position of secretary-treasurer. His duties were to report the lengthy proceedings of each meeting and to assume the tremendous burden of managing the Society ' s funds, without being allowed to hire a safe de- posit vault. Daniel Kelleher joined the Academy at this time and he contri- buted in no small way to the success of the season. The dramatic urge of 344 i i i i sah ©ttRRi the members was given vent in a comic drama entitled EI Joven Medico Unfortunando. Leo Moran played the title role as the young inexperienced doctor. Edward B. Cass ' 32 was given the part of the run-down letter- carrier who came to seek the doctor ' s advice and the leading feminine role was assumed by Frank Gallagher. The script called for Frank to be a young and comely stage comedienne suffering from melancholia. When she came to the doctor for advice, the young physician was perplexed. He finally ad- visted her to go to the theatre and see a famous comedienne who would cure her melancholia. The doctor had to be carried out when the lady replied that she was the comedienne. Aside from this play, the debate held in our junior year was the most outstanding event. The subject was; Resolved: That this house deplores the present policy of the United States in South America. Not only because of the particular interest in the question, but also because of its novel character, wherein the entire program of the evening was con- ducted in Spanish — due to both these reasons the debate was a success. Leo Moran and James Keith, ' 28 upheld the affirmative side. Few will forget how the house was convulsed with laughter at Senor Moran ' s comparison be- tween Don Quixote and his nag Rocinante and a certain president who had an electric horse. The negative side was upheld by Frank Gallagher, ' 30 and Roy MacDonald, ' 28. Frank Gallagher ably defended the policy of the United States Government in regard to our Southern neighbors. As a regard for his untiring efforts in bringing the Academy to a high position, Frank Gallagher was honored with the presidency in his senior year. He has remained faithful to the Club while our other classmates have been forced to divide their interests with other societies. He arranged a joint meeting of the Spanish Clubs of Boston College, Simmons, Emmanuel and Boston University which was held at the Teachers ' College and sponsored by the Circulo Espanol of the latter college. The Classes of 1931, 1932 and 1933 who already have energetic repre- sentatives in the Academy will have to carry on the work that was so suc- cessfully accomplished by 1930. We do not say that their work will never attain the heights that we acheived, but we do claim that they will never surpass us. i i i imm M- K® ' 2( Bim( 193 Q ag:® ©a®i®cj John B. Gillooly President PRESS CLUB was expected to say something nice. — Warren Gilbert. PRESS CLUB i i i I i THE smallest, yet perhaps the most significant organization in Boston College, is the Press Club. It is composed of less than ten members who toil as correspondents for newspapers ranging from Boston to Worcester. Every day in every way these boys try to make Boston College greater through the columns of the newspapers. Although every inch of space in the paper means more money in the bank for the correspondent, nevertheless, he always has the good of Boston College in mind and not the exchequer. (Please suppress the giggles.) During the year of 1929-30 the Press Club was put on a real foundation under the guidance of Rev. Father Roddy, Moderator of Athletics. Father Roddy realized what good the Press Club could do for Boston College, not only as regards athletics, but also in every other activity which pertains to the college. So he gave the Press Club a special room, with two large desks, two portable typewriters, and half a dozen easy arm-chairs. Father Roddy made a great move, for it is commonly known (especially to the envious SUB TURRI editor) that anyone who ever worked on a paper is very fond of arm-chairs, ease and comfort such as the room supplied. But it seems that someone became too fond of one of the portable typewriters. And took it home, or somewhere. The theft (or perhaps the machine was lost in a waste-basket), was too much. The Press Club was closed down and the remaining typewriter was placed in Father Roddy ' s safe and was given out by special permission. Despite this setback the Press Club is still ranked with the leading clubs in Boston College, just as it should be. For this small organization can make an athletic team look good or bad, put over a dance or draw a large gate to a debate. That it pays to advertise is a generally accepted theory and the Press Club does just that thing. i®jB Mmim ®i®im 193 Q a g:®i @ [ a ®i ® i®) ®i I i i i i i i Sa ' B ■EttRRL John B.

Wherever audiences have had the good for- tune to hear the Musical Clubs, they have been enthusiastic in their praise of the fine work of the Clubs. First, let us review the work of the Glee Club during our stay at the Col- lege. Its members manifested their ability to sing the finest ensemble selec- tions with feeling and with understanding. In their annual Symphony con- cert they have been the recipients of praise for their artistic excellence; and in intercollegiate competition they have compared not unfavorably with the leading Glee Clubs of New England. Representative of the Glee Club in miniature form were the octet and quartet; their talent was appreciated at all times. These two groups demons trated their versatility in divers man- ners of concerts and entertainment, in churches and hospitals; at banquets, smokers and theatres; and at the well known Pops at Symphony Hall. Next to the Glee Club in importance was the college orchestra, composed of some forty members. Their repertoire included selections from Thomas, Gounod. Herold, Herbert and many others of equal prominence. To the former moderator, Mr. Edward Douglas, S.J., goes a great share of the credit in arranging the annual schedule of the Musical Clubs and in exer- cising a diligent supervision over the business affairs of the clubs. In our Senior year a new moderator, Mr. John L. Clancy, S.J., was in charge. To the members of the clubs, Mr. Clancy has shown himself to be a tireless worker in behalf of the Musical Clubs. Realizing the high standard set by his predecessor, the new moderator has earnestly endeavored to uphold them. The season attests that he was highly successful. To Mr. James Ecker, the director of the clubs, the members owe a debt of gratitude for his untiring labors for our artistic success. His enthusiasm had a stimulating effect on the spirit of the members and the result of his teaching was apparent in the excellent vocal and instrumental results achieved. A word of praise should be given to the officers of the clubs. The Presi- dent of the clubs, P. Edward Burns, was a member of the quartet and octet for four years, and a member of band and orchestra. The Vice-President, Frank Lyons, proved that football players are sometimes fine singers, as well. His pleasing tenor voice won him earned recognition in the octet and in solo work. Neil O ' Connor, the secretary was an efficient and ever dependable worker, while the Business Manager, Francis Geary, was an active worker and a member of the octet. The vocal achievements of the soloists have caused them to become favorites in and about Boston. P. Edward Burns, baritone, was a capable singer, whose vocal offerings were ever received with enthusiasm; while Frank Lyons @] im m [ @ im 1 mmim 19 3 Q a t®i m [ ® i®i ® i @) a®i I i i i sah •stcRRi was a tenor of the first rank. Paul Mahoney, ' 31, baritone, met with recog- nition everywhere as a fine artist and as a skilled interpreter of songs. Kevin P. Hern, ' 31, tenor, met with merited approval in all his solo appearances. Whenever occasion demanded, P. Edward Burns acted very satisfactorily in the capacity of reader at innumerable concerts. The accompanist, Francis Bertsch, was a competent pianist with a thorough understanding of music. The senior class was ably represented in the personnel of the Musical Clubs. In the tenor sections were John B. Gillooly, Francis H. Higgins, Jr., William J. Griffin, James J. Reagan, and Lawrence Gibson; in the bass were Robert W. Barrett, Francis A. Mahoney, Irving Stackpole, Thomas D. Robinson, and Edward A. Morrissey. The band at the present time is one of the foremost organizations of its kind in the country. Numbering in its personnel some sixty members, it is a well known feature at the football games in the fall season. The musical excellence of the band is due primarily to its director, Mr. James Ecker, who for the past four years has worked most diligently for the success of the band, orchestra, and glee club. The splendid rendition of the well known marches as well as the current popular numbers has been the inevitable result of his labors. This year the band was directed by the President of the Musi- cal Clubs, P. Edward Burns. Numbered among the Seniors in the Band are: Robert Barrett, virtuoso of the bass drum; William Syran, saxaphone player extraordinary; John Merrick in the clarinet section; John and James Keefe in the saxaphone section; Paul McCann, still another saxaphone player, and John Dwycr in the horn section. i i John L.

Trainor, Jr. President PHYSICS ACADEMY The love of science is not dead m spite of the Muses. — Tobin. i i i i i i sah ©aRRL PHYSICS ACADEMY TN the organization of the Physics Academy last September, an oppor- - ■ tunity was created for the student to extend his knowledge and follow his inclinations toward specific phenomena. Common faults of the classroom are its enforced formality, too rigid discipline, and the indiscriminate manner in which the matter of the class must be treated, lecture by lecture. As a result, the subject matter for the most part is dispensed with as being too dry and uninteresting to be en- joyable to the common or garden variety of student. In the class there is little or no opportunity for discussion, especially in an informal way, of a subject of particular interest or the latest findings of experimenters. The object of the Physics Academy is to supply this want. Digressions on scientific points are permitted, even welcomed. Since the first meeting in October, the Rev. John A. Tobin, S.J., head of the Physics Department, has seen a growing interest in the Academy. This action in establishing this society has been proved a far-sighted one, calculated to stimulate a scientific interest among the members of the student body. The success of such a project — especially when dealing with Physics, might have been in doubt before any meetings had been held, but a premier attend- ance of thirty-four students, willing to become members, augured for its future success. When every meeting was well attended, both by members of the Academy and by many other students, the Physics Academy had been definitely established as a permanent activity. Besides creating an opportunity for extended discussion and stimulating interest among the students, the Academy also tends to develop initiative in research of particular subjects. With this purpose in view, the lectures this year have been delivered for the most part by the members: the lectures are followed by an open Forum for discussion of the topics of the day and allied subjects. The first meeting was held November 7th, when the aims of the society were set forth, and the plans for the year were discussed. Leo P. Moran was appointed chairman for the elections which were held on the 12th. William E. Trainor, Jr. was elected president; William J. Koen, vice- president; Thomas OTaughlin, ' 31, secretary; and John J. Cusack, treasurer. The lectures were as follows: November 20 — The Photo Electric Cell and Photo Sensitive Materials. Charles E.

Duffy, and under his instruction several mem- bers of the Academy mastered the code and obtained an Amateur Transmitting license. The officers of the radio club were the same as those of the Academy. The success of the Academy is due in no small measure to the initiative and effort of Father Tobin, S.J., in organizing and guiding it through a very active year.

McDonald President CHEMISTRY ACADEMY Fear not, pathetic Rame, Your sustenance is doubt. — Elinor Wylie. i i i I i I i -JIB •saRRi CHEMISTRY ACADEMY The past season saw a great advance in the progress of the still young Chemistry Academy. Since the symbols of the age in which we are living are the test tube and the crucible, this academy designed to supplement the ordinary lectures of the classroom with new developments in the chemical world and to bring to the knowledge of its members the many ingenious and interesting ways in which chemistry is applied to the problems of every- day life, has a very definite place in the extra-curricular life of the college man. The first meeting of the new year brought an unprecedented and unexpect- edly large number of students who became members of the academy. At this meeting William McDonald was elected President, Roger O ' Sullivan was chosen secretary and treasurer, and the office of publication secretary was filled with a sophomore, Thomas Barry. To keep the members abreast with the latest findings in the chem labs of the world, the American Chemical Society (to the Northwestern Section of which this academy is affiliated ) sends to each member The Nucleus, their monthly publication. At the bi-weekly meetings of the society, lectures were given by authorities in various fields of chemistry. Excellent speakers and prominent authorities were obtained by the president to address the society. One of the most interesting and appreciated lectures was given by Mr. Ruth of the Squibb Company, New York City. With the aid of motion pictures the preparation and uses of cod liver oil from the catching of the cod fish to the moment when the final product is gulped down a tablespoon- ful at a time, were depicted to a large and enthusiastic audience. Soap, our most vital luxury, was the subject of a very profitable and well received lecture by Mr. Doherty, chief chemist of the Lever Brothers Soap Company. The intricacies and the sidelights in paper manufacturing were very interestingly presented by Mr. Everett Ford, professor of Qualitative Analysis. Dr. David O ' Donnell, professor of Organic Chemistry showed to the academicians The Resemblance of the Ammonia System of Chemistry to the Water System of Chemistry. His talk was very lucid and instructive. The head of the Department of Chemistry, Rev. Fr. Sullivan, delivered a very scholarly lecture on Some Phases of Atomic Structure. At the first February meeting the officers for the second term were elected. Edward Lawlor of Junior became president and Leo Sullivan of Senior was chosen for the new office of vice-president. Both the other officers were re- elected. Mr. McDonald received the congratulations of the academy for the fine programs arranged throughout the first semester. During the second term an innovation was introduced. In place of the former formal lectures the members of the academy themselves delivered ten minute orations on topics chosen by the academy. These discourses were very popular and at times rather entertaining to the listeners. The academy was indeed fortunate in having the services of Mr. Harold Fagan, professor of Quantitative Analysis as faculty moderator. Through- out the whole year he gave unstintedly and untiringly of his time and energy, and to him in great part is the success of the society due. To have him as K®iB ®K®i( mimi 195 Q a ®iei a ® ®E ©g©i i Sah ' KttRRL our guide was a pleasure and a privilege for which each member of the society is grateful.

Such an impression would be entirely correct for though in its first full year it proved itself one of the most popular of the after-class activities. The Business Club owes its institution mainly to a course of lectures on business principles given at the college by Mr. John J. Morgan a prominent business expert. At the conclusion of the very well received course and at the suggestion of Mr. Morgan this club was formed to further the interest of the student body in business as a life work. This was in December of 1928. Membership in the club was open to the student body, there were no fees or fines to be imposed and attendance at the meeting was and is entirely volun- tary. During the remainder of the first year the members gained much informa- tion from speakers on the banking, telephone and brokerage business, and the art of retail merchandising. It is reported that the seniors made several valuable business contacts. At the last meeting of the year the officers for our senior year were chosen. Edward Hogan was elected president, John Grandfield was chosen vice-presi- dent, and Thomas Robinson secretary. The executive board, whose chief duty was to obtain speakers for the meetings, comprised Edward Morrissey chairman, Robert Barrett and John J. Sullivan. The officers entered upon their work very energetically in the new year and an extensive program was arranged. After much discussion it was de- cided not to take another course from the Department of University Ex- tension but to continue the practice in vogue the previous year of inviting prominent business men to lecture. The first speaker was our old friend Mr. Morgan, President of the Morgan Advertising Agency. This lecture was particularly encouraging to the seniors since Mr. Morgan predicted a general increase in business prosperity and gave some sound advice about how to take advantage of it. Following Mr. Morgan the club was treated to some very interesting and profitable lectures by well known business authorities. Mr. Victor Leib, graduate of Harvard Business School and sales manager of Chrysler Motor Company advised business school training as a prepearation for sales execu- tive work. Mr. Henry Smith, of Hornblower and Weeks, spoke on invest- ment brokerage outlining the steps necessary for entering this business. During the second term Mr. Charles P. Weed, first vice-president of the First National bank and a graduate of Trinity College and Harvard Law, outlined the banking business, and promised to help the members of the club in their plans if they would visit him at his offce. Mr. Charles S. Chapman, Km ' B M E.® ' 2B m @l®l B 19 3D D ®!©! © ®! © i i i I SUh ■SttRRL Director of the Publicity Department of the Gamewell Fire Alarm Company, addressed the club on the topic of fire prevention and suggested several methods of entering the fire alarm business. Public Utilities was the topic chosen for discussion by Mr. Hugo Rock- tashell, sales manager of the New England Power and Light Company. After a very illuminating lecture Mr. Rocktashell promised the help of the officers of the New England Power Company to those interested in entering the pub- lic utilities field. Though there are several other speakers who will address the club the Sub TURRI must go to press too early to record their lectures. To the officers of the Business Club and to the Executive Committee con- gratulations are due for the excellency and variety of the year ' s program. Much hard work was necessary to arrange the lectures and to properly ad- vertise the speakers. Especially worthy of comment are the Business Club posters. These were always very attractive and well exemplified one of the prime requisites of modern business, i.e., good advertising. Since the purpose of the club is to give the members an insight into the practical workings of business and to point out the proper methods by which to enter the business world after graduation, is a very useful one, and since the value of the contacts with well known business men has been well de- monstrated in the past, it is with the anticipation that the Business Club in the future will continue the great progress of the past year, that the retiring seniors extend their heartiest good wishes to the new officers at graduation. i i i 365 Henry C. Lynch Prefect SODALITY They found the Child with Mary His Mother, and falling down they adored Him. — Matthew ii, 1 1 . ■aB ■EtlRRI i i i i I i SODALITY THE completely educated man has received not only an intellectual but a moral training. So at Boston College not the least of the student activities were the Freshman-Sophomore and Junior-Senior sodalities. The students needed no urging to attend the weekly meetings of these organiza- tions for they realized that at these gatherings they would receive much that would be of value in their future life. In Freshman and Sophomore, Father J. M. Quinn, S.J., devoted all his efforts to the increase in the enrollment of members. Due to his untiring expenditure of energy the Freshman Sodality enrolled the largest number of members in the history of the college. In Sophomore this fine record was well maintained and throughout the whole year the members were faithfully attendant in largest numbers. In June of 1927 two members of the sodality were chosen by the moderator and were sent to the Sodality convention at St. Louis. That genial and popular professor, Father Francis E. Low, S.J., took charge of the Junior Sodality. The students were tireless in their devotion and the weekly assemblies filled the chapel to capacity. Although the Senior Sodality held its first meeting unusually late in the semester due to the lack of a moderator, it in no way lacked the quality of preceding years. Father McDermott hebdomedally exhorted the students to remem- ber the precepts of their faith and live their lives according to their ideals. These weekly meetings proved interesting and profitable to all who attended. Among the strongest of our commencement regrets is the one that we will no longer have the opportunity to attend the weekly meetings of the sodality. Supplementing the work of the Sodality are the annual retreats. Our Freshman retreat was the last to be held in the old Collegiate Church on Harrison Avenue. Father Strohaver, S.J., was the retreat master and by his stirring addresses made this, our premier college retreat, a memorable one. Father Strohaver, S.J., came down from Mt. St. James to give our second annual retreat. This was held in the library auditorium and the confer- ences of Father Strohaver are sometimes still the subject of discussion when B. C. men gather. In Junior, Father Cusack, S.J., President of Canisius College, gave the retreat in the Senior Class Room to all the members of our class except those of Junior C who were relegated to the library audi- torium to hear the retreat under Father McWilliams, noted Jesuit author and traveler. Both retreats proved eminently successful. In our Senior year Father Keyes, anxious to make our last class retreat a successful one selected the Reverend Charles O ' Brien as retreat master. Through his familiar and intimate conferences. Father O ' Brien well realized Father Keyes ' ideal — the memories of this retreat will be everlasting. Father O ' Brien was again chosen by vote of the class as master of our Commence- m Km m M m i®i m i © g@i © 19 3 Q a im m m a i®i ® 1 m a®i sah %umcL mcnt retreat. With his last gesture to us as undergraduates, he firmly knotted the ties that bind him to our hearts. To Father Keyes as well the class owes a debt of gratitude for his untiring devotion to our spiritual welfare. He was a real father to us and we will not forget him. i i I i i i m B 1 m K®i 1 mimim 19 3 Q a i®i b ®i a i®i ® id i®i sah ©iiRRi i I i i I ATHLETICS im m wsm m k®i b mm mimim 19 3 D s i®i m 1 © i®i ® i d i®i sah -©aRRi I i i i I i JOHN P. CURLEY Graduate Manager of Athletics TT is quite fitting that we devote a page to the new Graduate Manager - - of Athletics, Mr. John P. Curley, ' 13. It seems especially appropriate to have Mr. Curley ' s picture in the SUB TURRI, 1930 since he was the Associate Editor of the first SuB TURRI pttblished seventeen years ago. Mr. Curley was appointed last February by President James H. Dolan, S.J., who acted upon the unanimous recommendation of the Graduate Board of Athletics. He succeeds Frank Reynolds who closed his long and success- ful term of office when he resigned last November. Mr. Curley is a man who naturally is retiring and modest, in fact to an extreme. But his modesty cannot prevent us from voicing our appre- ciation of the work which he has done already and to extend to him our congratulations for the future. Mr. Curley had a very difficult task before him when he assumed the office. The position of Graduate Manager is one that naturally brings criticism from students and alumni frequently. He has been working quietly during the past few months building up the relations between Boston College and the various colleges and universities throughout the country. He has created a better spirit between his office and the student body. Mr. Curley is a man who is always ready to listen to any complaint or receive any advice that may be offered. Needless to say he has achieved enough experience from his business adventures to enable him to take these sug- gestions at their face value. But in opening his office to students he has increased his popularity and won the confidence of the student body. Nineteen thirty assures Mr. Curley that he will have our support in what- ever undertaking he may assume as we are confident that Boston College is on the way to the top of the athletic world. @| K®l B -@K®l( MiBimi( 193 Q a ®l@ Patrick F. Crehdon Captain FOOTBALL i sah ' KtiRRi i i i i i COACH JOE McKENNEY This is one page that might well be eliminated. Not, by any chance, that Joe shouldn ' t be in this book. But everybody knows him and there ' s no- thing new to be said about him. McKenney has finished two years as head coach of the B. C. football eleven and he ' s still a great fellow and a great grid tutor. Joe underwent the acid test with his 1929 Eagle football machine and came through with flying colors. He coached a team that lost two games — still the anvil chorus didn ' t start chiming. Other colleges, with their alumni consisting chiefly of grandstand quarterbacks, cry for the coach ' s scalp if he loses games. B. C. followers cried only when it was rumored that Mc- Kenney might resign. That ' s how Joe McKenney stands. And probably will for some time to come, for he grows stronger in popularity and more sagacious in football strategy with the passing years. Rummage through the dictionary, get all the superlatives possible, apply them fittingly and still you couldn ' t describe how McKenney is held in the opinion of almost every B. C. man. Joe turned out his second glorious eleven in his second year. The team tied Villanova in the last minute and Villanova was rated two touchdowns better. They nearly upset Fordham, losing by one point in the last minute. Then the outfit, wearied by a long journey, dropped one to Marquette, but came home to climax the season with a sensational victory over a favored Holy Cross team. And that constitutes success.

FRESHMAN Perhaps the greatest of our four years watching football was our first year at the Heights when Major Frank Cavanaugh, realizing that his seven years reign as grid coach at B. C. was about to terminate, produced an undefeated football outfit as a fitting tribute to his departure to Fordham. Thrills were piled upon thrills in that season and a few disappointments were mixed in to make the gamut of the emotions complete. Catholic University was the first victim to be led to slaughter, supposedly. But our brothers from Mr. Hoover ' s town nearly turned the tables. With a fast, smooth-working combination C. U. performed very creditably and lost by a scant six points. It was on a wet, slushy day. but the weather shouldn ' t be offered as an excuse. C. U. was immense. Zev Graham and his Fordham Rams next came to Beantown — to leave with a 28-0 shellacking tacked on their horns. Al Weston ran wild in that fracas and Joe McKenney pulled one of football ' s finest feats when he picked up a ball everyone thought was dead and wended, untouched, for 60 yards and a touchdown. Joe stood behind the goal-line while the hostile stands laughed loudly at what they thought was a wasted run. But Joe hadn ' t heard the whistle blow and had the courage to follow his convictions. The whistle hadn ' t blown and the touchdown was allowed. And the i i KmBWMM .mz® miwM mmEm 193 Q e ® @ i a ®i © 1 © a® 377 •aB •SD.RRL i i i giggling fans turned so red with shame that it looked like the Harvard stands with full crimson in the breeze. The team then went to St. Louis. It was a fine trip and a fine football game for B. C. Nobody brought along an adding machine and the correct score wasn ' t able to be obtained. A mathematician who was present said it was somewhere up in the 60 ' s. Villanova gave an inkling in ' 26 of what she was to be in our senior year. Coach Stuhldreher was just getting his Notre Dame stuff under way. The Eagles won by 19-7, but Cav ' s men were dizzy for a week after because of the shifts, cross-bucks and bewildering passes that Villanova employed. The original whoopee boys, the Haskell Indians, came in order, got half a scalp and left half of theirs in Boston. The score was 21-21. What a game! Cronin and Weston plus their mates got three touchdowns in the first half. But the savages had spent their time, not trying to score, but in bat- tering the Eagles to near punch-drunkenness. They did. There was no peace-pipe smoking between the halves. Haskell came out in the second half red with rage, furious, lunatic redmen emitting blood-curdling yells. For a while we thought we were reading a Western novel. Stidham and Roebuck, massive tackles, just pushed our line into the dirt. A small, wiry fullback ran through the openings at will. Haskell scored three times. They kicked the tieing point as dusk descended. And everyone left weak as kittens. The best game of our four years. Gettysburg, where once a famous battle was staged, didn ' t inherit any of the fighting qualities of their forefathers. They were beateen 29 to 0. Holy Cross wound up the season by holding the Eagles to a scoreless tie. With all condign justice (Ethics) it should be stated that B. C. held Holy Cross to a tie. The Eagles were big favorites. But Holy Cross came within inches of wining on a rather wet field and only the long punting of Jack Cronin saved the day. It was a moral victory for the Crusaders and a real i Km m 1 .© g©3 © [ mmim 19 3 D a g® © [ © im ® © i®i sah ' saRRi i i I i i victory for the tradition which says that a B. C.-H. C. favorite will lose — or at least won ' t win. That ' s all for frosh all for Major Cav . and enough from both ... it was a great football season. SOPHOMORE Leo Daley came to the Heights by the time we scrambled into sophomore. Leo left the following year. However we all liked him, regretted very much that fortune was against him and admired the way he trimmed the team up for the great win over Holy Cross. Leo got off to a bad start. The weatherman helped him. Duke, which was supposed to lay down and let the Eagles open up as all big teams are supposed to open up, found itself cavorting in their own climate and played like champions — whipping B. C. 25 to 9. The Blue Devils, with Buie, Jankoski and Warren, ran wild while Captain Tom O ' Brien and his mates just withered and took their walloping. Geneva, coached by Bo McMillan and led by that veteran, Flenniken, came next. Creedon and Weston fought valiantly as did the rest of the sons, but Geneva won by a pair of scores. West Virginia Wesleyan ran into a rejuvenated eleven. Bud Dower and Zeus Wilezewski were in the backfield. For the first time Daley ' s team clicked. W. Va., Wesleyan was crushed, 33-0. My dear boys, that season was a very dull one, but there was a bright spot, yes very bright indeed. Most of you have guessed it by now but it was, in case you haven ' t the Fordham trip and the 27-7 victory. Libel suits will be numerous against SUB TURRI 1930 if details and names are given regarding the trip itself. Besides, this is the sports section. The score of the game was 27-7. Fordham was to win. Major Cav was there with his derby and cigar i i 3 -®K® Mi Bimm 193 D B £® @ [ a g®l ® © E®1 sah ©ttRRi i i i i in the big, unpopulated Polo Grounds. Weston ran the opening kickoff back 90 yards for a touchdown. That broke the Fordham hearts. Charley Mur- phy caught some nifty passes and Tom O ' Brien made some cracking tackles. Those who made the trip and who saw the game (there were some who didn ' t) will never forget. Johnny Gillespie of Villanova galloped 50 yards in the twinkling dust of the following Saturday and Stuhldreher rang up his first victory in history over B. C. by 13-7. Georgetown, you ' d never think it was a brother college, rubbed it in the ensuing week-end by 48-0. The worst drubbing of our four years and the worst a B. C. team ever got. Nork and McLean ran wild for Georgetown but, although excuses are odious, it must be mentioned that O ' Brien, Weston, Creedon and Smith were missing from the Eagle lineup. Down on a quagmired field in Hartford, which was only 90 yards long, B. C. took Connecticut Aggies into camp by 19-0. It could have been 100-0. Nobody cared. For H. C. was on the docket for the next fiasco and the Eagles just took their beauty treatments in that Hartford mud and let it go at that. Punched, pummelled and groggy from a series of bumps throughout the season it looked like a hopeless case for the Daleymen against Holy Cross, which came riding into the Hub with a great team. But somehow or other Leo pulled the gang through. He gave them their spirit, added some fight, inspired the team. They went out on the field that day and faced the horde of purple jerseys knowing that they had to give everything to hold these purple jerseys from trodding the marked greensward at will. Holy Cross knew two minutes after the whistle blew that it wasn ' t to be a one-sided fracas. They were stacked up against crazed athletes on that B. C. team. The Eagles had taken too many slaps. They were going to get even. Fate n: K ®l( M mi®l 19 3 Q a ®i e © g®1 ® E @ a® P sah ©aRRi i i i i i i was with the Eagles that day. Charley Murphy knifed through to block a punt and Warren McGuirk fell on it behind the goal line. Six points, the seventh was missed. A break that was made by B. C. and capitalized by B. C. put them in the lead and they staged a determined defensive, Holy Cross being within arms ' length of our goal-posts when the treaty was signed and sealed by the ref ' s shrill blast. Creedon, Smith, Weston, Dower, Clinton, Lenane, O ' Brien, Murphy, McGuirk and all had come through for Leo Daley! .JUNIOR Beautiful brown and gold leaves, shifting hues, mellow days of autumn didn ' t hold any particular hope for Boston College football, when we re- turned to school as juniors. Joe McKenney, that big smiling chap we used to watch play two years ago, was coach — head coach. Why did they have to pick a kid like him? He didn ' t know any football and probably would ruin the B. C. football team. It would take three years for him to get any sort of a system started. We all felt that way, but were completely con- verted two weeks after the season opened — or after that victory at Annapolis. First signs of greatness came when the Eagles defeated Catholic University 38-6. C. U. wasn ' t a set-up by any means. But B. C. had the greatest team in its history and got rolling at the opening gun. The sweetest victory since the Eagle stuck his talons into Eli Bulldog down in the Bowl some years ago came on the following Saturday, when B. C. journeyed to Annapolis to lick Navy, 6-0. Weston did it with a 25-yard slash around end. Charley Murphy saved the game in the closing minutes by catching a pass that was labelled touchdown for the sailors. A wonderful victory. And there was somewhat of a trip for the boys attached, although but a small number made it. Duke came next and Duke went, 19-0. Revenge was had for the first r ©|| K®!

And Tom Smith intercepted a pass and ran 65 yards for a score, beUeve it or not. B. C. annexed the city championship, whatever that is, the following week-end. They licked B. U. 27 to 7. B. U. put up quite a fight at that, but Warren McGuirk was out of the Eagle lineup and Warren was the key- stone of that championship line. Gotham then proceeded to invade the Hub. Manhattan was first and Manhattan was manhandled, 60-6. The Fighting Irish somehow or other couldn ' t match even B. C ' s. fifth team which Joe McKenney sent in after the outcome had been settled before the second half started. But Fordham was a different story. Master vs. Pupil was the title. It was Cav vs. Joe. Everyone knew it was going to be a real war. Cav had a big, smart team and B. C. fans were begining to realize that they had the Eastern Champions in the making. Fo rdham took the lead and B. C. began to perspire. It looked very bad. But Long John Dixon intercepted a pass and Austin Brosnan blocked a kick and fell on it over the line. The final was B. C. 19, Fordham 7. The Eagle swooped on Canisius and Connecticut Aggies for easy victories. Then the annual with Holy Cross. B. C. was favored to win, but there were some skeptics — not universal. B. C. won 19-0, giving the Purple a sound thrashing. Weston threw passes to Murphy and Creedon for scores and Joe Mirley ran 25 yards for the third. All three our classmates. That was B. C ' s. greatest team. No doubt about it. Murphy, Dixon. McGuirk, Herman, Wilczewski, Sheehan, Kilroy, Creedon, Weston, Smith and Mirley. Weston, Murphy, McGuirk and Smith were rated as All- M B © K®i B lEB Bimm 19 5 Q s Km m i a g® ® © g:® •aB •KtlRRL i i i i i Americans and B. C. was considered the best team in the East by many al- though some favored Carnegie Tech with Harpster. We, however, say B. C. That ' s that. SENIOR Joe McKenney was back with Ormsby and McManmon yet Weston, Smith, McGuirk, Wilczewski, Sheehan, Kilroy and some others were gone. But the boys now had faith in McKenney ' s abiUty to produce. Needless to mention, Joe did produce. Just as much as could be expected from him with the material he had. Catholic University, which is seldom a push-over, gave B. C. a hard open- ing battle on a day warm enough to fry eggs on the gridiron. Joe Mirley came through with a touchdown to beat the Washington team by 13-6. Roly-Poly Zakarian led the farmers from the University of Maine into town the following week-end. They were beaten quite easily by a score of 42-0, with Chessy Antos playing the role of a Salem witch. Then came Villanova, the mighty clan of Stuhldreher, with one of their best teams. B. C. was bound to lose. A string of victories, starting with McKenney ' s reign, was to be smashed. But with two minutes to go George Colbert passed to Antos for a touchdown and then drop-kicked the point to tie the game at 7 apiece. What a thrill we all got out of that one. Canisius, headed by our own Luke Urban, took it from the Eagles the next game, 40-6, and Duke was also downed, but put up quite a skirmish before the Gold and Maroon was raised with the figures being 20-12. The second Master vs. Pupil fray was staged at Fenway. Cav was bound to win this time. But the McKenney men were ready and put across a touch- down and led up until the closing minutes when Murphy of Fordham caught a pass and raced, unmolested, for a score and Wisniewski kicked the point to i i Kmsm -mK®i( ®mim 193 Q ag:®ie[ ® ®i imimi Sah •EttRRL I i i i i force the Eagles to their first defeat in two seasons, 7- their decision of the Villanova game. B. C. made two trips into the west that season, beating Dayton 23 to 7. but losing to Marquette 20 to 6 in one of the fightingest affairs in our grid history. Boston University displayed its usual courage against the Eagles in the pre-Holy Cross war. They came very close to winning, in fact they were on their way to a victorious touchdown when Antos intercepted a pass on our goal line and galloped nearly 100 yards to score. This licked the B. U. spirit. The final score was 33-0, but the figures lied something terribly. And so came our last Holy Cross game as undergrads. With two defeats and one tie the Eagles weren ' t too threatening. But we all had confidence as the team left for Drabbington for the final touches. The newspapers made the Purple the favorites. Holy Cross opened up wildly on that day when the temperature was a couple of parasangs below zero and six full-blooded Eskimos were found frozen to death just before the game started. Yes, H. C. opened wildly. They were going to run up a big score. But they were repulsed from the very start. Captain Creedon, who hadn ' t made the trip to Marquette because of an injury, played like a crazed man. He drove the team to a touchdown by one of the fiercest drives we had ever seen and Mike Vodoklys grabbed a pass late in the game to make the score 13-0. That was another great victory. We marched gloriously down the ramps of Fenway in a glowing serpen- tine, yelling, shouting, B. C. rah-ing. But there was a touch of sorrow tug- ging at our heart-strings. We had seen our last Holy Cross game. Under- graduate football had passed. It was a deep and poignant sorrow. But such things have to happen. So passed the four years. Never had Holy Cross whipped us. The Navy was sunk. Joe McKenney had been secured as coach. Two of the teams were undefeated. The 1928 group, led by McGuirk, were Eastern cham- pions. No other class ever got more from its football festivities. i im 4 MmK®iB Bi®i 193 Q ag®i@ sg® ® ©g®i i i I FOOTBALL PERSONALS Paddy Creedon . . Paddy was our mighty atom from Brockton. He was as cocky as they come. But a touch of modesty marked his every move, giving him that mien that connotes the successful athlete, well-placed confi- dence. We often wondered how he stood the battering. He was troubled by a bad leg in senior, but came back to drive the team like a demon to the touchdown that licked Holy Cross. He was a wonderful athlete and a popular classmate. Charley Murphy . . . Charley was the handsome grid hero from Hing- ham. He ' d do much better at the Junior Prom than on the football field, you ' d imagine. But he was one of the smartest ends B. C. ever had. A great catcher of forward passes. Nobody got around his end while he was in there. And he never took time out. In his junior year he was acclaimed Ail-American material and selected by many experts. Joe Mirley . . Handiest man of them all according to Coach McKenney. Joe could play anywhere in the backfield and do a good job. He wasn ' t a giant in stature but had the courage of men twice his size. Joe always played a steady, dependable game. He was never sensational, although once he looped through Holy Cross for a 25-yard chase and a touchdown. He loved to play the game and he showed it in his every action. John Convery . . . The smiling Everett boy who couldn ' t quite make the grade, but who never gave up. Johnny was brittle and not quite heavy enough to stand the going in the middle of the line. But he played for four seasons and got a letter for each one. If football brains won positions.

Frank Lyons ... He could kick them a mile but the backfield material was a little too classy for him. He worked for four years and saw plenty of service as a reserve. Frank was a fullback for four seasons and a better than ordinary one. But he had Tom Smith to compete with and that just about settles anyone ' s fate. Still Frank stayed in the battle with Smith and de- serves some sort of a medal. Bill Green Bill played in just two games in his four years of col- lege football. That is, regular games. But he was always on hand with the scrubs who take the beating in order that the varsity might be improved. Bill lost a good deal of poundage down on Alumni Field for four years as a center. But he never squawked and was always there for practice. Bill got a flash at the Holy Cross game and got his letter. And we all appreciate his work and we are glad that McKenney didn ' t let his toil go unrewarded. I i m imm mmimm Mmimm 193 Q a ®i @g®i®i Dg® 387 Edward G.

Joe Fitzgerald captained the Eagles in our sophomore year and Sonny Foley had arrived as hockey coach. Fitzie and Sonny worked hard to pro- duce a championship team, but they didn ' t have the material. However this outfit never gave up without a scorching fracas and we can still feel those body-checks of Joe Fitzgerald ' s. The Eagles held Yale to 5-2, tied B. U. 3-3 in one of the hottest games we ever saw, and won a trio of clashes from our friendly enemies, Holy Cross. Nick Tedesco was forced to resign the captaincy in our Junior year and Art Morrisey took up the reins, with Sonny Foley again doing the master mind- ing. That season was a success insofar as two games were won from Holy Cross. But, alas and a couple of alacks, the same number of games were dropped to Boston University. Two games were lost to Dartmouth, but the Eagles won a pair from Pennsylvania and made a brilliant showing against Princeton in the Hobey Baker rink, losing by one goal. Senior year rolled around. But hockey didn ' t. It had been crossed off the books. Every means was taken to have it restored, but it wasn ' t to be done. And that winter of Senior dragged out some terribly. There were the Bruins and Harvard and the University Club to watch in action. But hockey doesn ' t carry much of a kick unless you ' ve got some cause for a little throat exercise. Ed Sliney had been elected captain and there was the makings of a great team. But the team was no good without the sport. We ' ll always remember that winter as one of the sore spots of our athletic years at the Heights. i i i 391 •aB •saRRL i i i I i i i HOCKEY PERSONALS Ed Sliney . . . Big Ed got one tough break when they dropped hockey. He was to captain the team, had spent some time getting himself in condi- tion for a big season and then got the sorry news. He led all sorts of move- ments to have it restored. He even went so far as to get financial backing from the Alumni. But he took the bad break like he took everything else during his four years — with a big, broad smile. Ed was a giant defenseman for three years. He hit the opposition harder than Primo Camera and was a threat on the offense, having a good shot and being very fast for a boy of his structure. Leon Fitzgerald . . . Little Leon doing the split between the bars of the goal is a very familiar sight. Leon was a tough-luck goalie. He had his brother ' s reputation to live up to and that was some target. Fitzie had his good nights and his bad nights. When he was right Eddie Shore himself couldn ' t push one by. Leon had plenty of courage. He dove into the flashing steel of hostile skates with reckless abandon. He would have been a wonder in Senior if they had continued the sport. John Groden . Another Cantabridgian who was trying to live up to the name of his family predecessor in B. C. hockey circles. There were few more serious hockey players than Dapper John. He trained hard and earnestly and would play his head off out on the ice until they carried him off. John wasn ' t overloaded with hockey ability. We don ' t mean that he couldn ' t play the game, but simply that he wasn ' t a flashy, clever individual. But he played a hard, fast game, covered his wing like a tent and took ad- vantage of every opportunity. Larry Gibson . . . Long Larry adds still another to the list of boys from Cambridge Latin School. He played on the team with Groden and Fitz- gerald and all three of them made good on the college sextet. Larry was a regular left winger. He had a burning shot, was a fast skater and could poke-check and body-check with the best of them. Larry was a star for his three years of hockey and was as consistent as the sunrise. Perley Payson - . . This Hingham lad was another one of the serious type. He was trying from the moment he got his chance with the second line until the first team was sent on the ice again. Perley sometimes flashed so brilliantly that Coach Foley changed him to the first line. Payson was small and took plenty of punishment. But that didn ' t cause him to toss in the towel. He was characteristic of the B. C. hockey team — willing to give everything, no matter how great the enemy. Joe Fallon . . , Joe was a substitute wing, but just a step behind the trio on the first line, and probably would have been a step ahead of all of them if it weren ' t for a few bad breaks in his physical condition. Joe was troubled with stomach illness in his junior year and it held him back, though he ® m [ © i®i m [ @imjm 19 3 D s i:® e 1 © i®i ® 1 © a®i sah •EttRRi i i I i i wouldn ' t quit the hockey squad. At Stoneham High he was a schoolboy wonder. And he showed it in flashes at the Heights. Joe was another of those Horatio Alger boys on the ice. The kind that never can be downed. John Grandfield . . . John came from Latin School as a goalie. But he ran into Leon Fitzgerald at the Heights, and as a result, he did most of his goal-tending on the bench. But that didn ' t cause him to give up hope. He turned out for three years and for every practice session. Coach Foley used him as often as possible but was afraid to send him in against most of the opposition because the Eagle defense was never any too adamant. John, however, deserves a couple of pages of credit for his earnestness. It counts a great deal in athletics — and a great deal more in life. Ed Kelleher . . . Ed came from Medford High, where he captained the Hockey team, and did a great job, too. By the end of Freshman he was a regular up here at the Heights, and proved by his grit that he deserved the berth. Ed suffered the loss of a good many of his teeth playing Hockey for the Maroon and Gold, but that didn ' t stop him from coming up smil- ing — and we need plenty of good men like him who can always keep smiling. i m ' . imK® ' 2B mKmm 19 3 Q ag:®se[ © ®i® ©g®i William J.

For ten years Jack has coached the Eagle runners and has produced some world-beaters in his time. He is one of the most prominent figures in Eastern track circles, has coached Uncle Sam ' s Olympic long distance runners and has made more men, physically and morally, than would be easy to count.

FRESHMAN As wide-eyed frosh there was plenty of cause for rooting in our track festivities. We came to the college just in time to catch the parting sallies of one of the greatest Boston College relay quartets — that of Ingoldsby, Mc- Killop, McCloskey and Dailey. This quartet opened at the Millrose games with a sweeping victory in the two-mile relay and continued through the Georgetown, and made a grand showing at the Penn Relay games in the season undefeated, wiping aside such teams as Holy Cross, Penn State and spring. A year before this relay team had suffered defeat at Franklin Field by a narrow margin. They were out to revenge the fates that had nipped them of honors by a few inches. Only two teams faced them that day, so wide- spread was the reputation of this foursome of Eagle fliers. It was a muddy, soggy track that faced the Eagles as they lined up for the race. But they proved real mud horses on that cinder oval and copped the title. And a Penn Relay title is about the highest honor a relay team can garner. At Baltimore the Eagles were well up in the running. A medley team of Joe McCabe, Russell, McCloskey and Dailey won the title for the third successive year. Bill McKillop captured the Gaston 600-yard race and Captain Luke McCloskey ran off to victory in a special 1000. Spring, with its fancies, rolled around. And spring produced one of the greatest of dual track meets with our arch-enemies. Holy Cross. Boston College won by one point, the closest competition in history. Frank Hussey, the New York sprinter, brought the Maroon and Gold home first in the two sprints, while Rex Beach and Zeus Wilczewski ran up a goodly number of points in the field events. The Eagles were strong enough to place fourth in the New England Inter- collegiates against some very sturdy track outfits and this position was some- thing of an attainment. Luke McCloskey, in the final meet of the year, the Intercollegiates at Philadelphia, found fate once again blocking his path. Luke had missed out on the Intercollegiate half-mile title by a scant few inches the year before to Soapy Waters in the Stadium. He was due to win in his final try. But Oliver Proudlock of Syracuse jumped Luke just a few yards before the final lap started and beat Luke to the tape. Boston College was very much in the limelight in every track meet that season. Jack Ryder ' s proteges were among the best in the collegiate world. SOPHOMORE Captain Babe Dailey and Jack Ryder found most of their stars missing when they started track the next season. Graduation, scholastic difficulties and Hussey ' s loss gave the season a poor outlook. Yet the honors weren ' t completely lost by the Eagle tracksters. The Brockton Fair track meet started things off in the right direction when K®i © 1 .© g@j mimi 19 3 D s ®i @ [ a i®i m © mi sah •EiiRRi i i © I i Boston College won seven places. Bob Sullivan won the dash, while Austin Brosnan, Ray Connelly, Joe Orpen, Walter Rogers, and Babe Dailey took other places. The K. of C. games were changed to the William C. Prout Memorial Games in the Boston Garden and again the Eagles were conspicuous. The one-mile varsity team of Keenan, Mulcahy, Dailey and Rogers beat New Hampshire and turned in the second fastest time. The freshman mile quartet of Sullivan, Meagher, Finn and Brosnan, walked off with their match against Bridgton. Holy Cross was met at the B. A. A. games in a one-mile relay, but Wood- worth stumbled and Boston College lost out on a chance to gather in some laurels. The same hard luck pursued the B. C. relays all through the winter carnivals. Three Eagle teams were entered in the Intercollegiates. The B. C. mile team landed second place in its heat, but was shut out in the final. A new mile record of 3.21 2-5s, however, shows that the competition was extremely fast. Rogers met with a mishap in the two-mile relay and the Eagles were shut-out in all the varsity competition. The freshman team of Sullivan, Meagher, Finn and Trumm finished second in their medley race, so all was not lost in the indoor festival of the college track teams. The Penn Relay games started the outdoor season. The mile team finished fifth, the two-mile team fourth and the freshman third. It was the first lime since Ryder took over the coaching job at B. C. that he hadn ' t won a race. Holy Cross copped the dual meet, but the Eagles, forced them into pro- ducing seven new records before they ' d submit to defeat. Rex Beach with 16 points, was high scorer. Not such a successful year, but what can a coach do when he hasn ' t got the material and the breaks are going the other way? JUNIOR A dearth of material was again noticed when the track season of our junior year was started by Coach Jack Ryder with Zeus Wilczewski as captain. Rex Beach had left school and only two lettermen from the Holy Cross meet of the season previous were back. During the winter months there was but one redeeming feature. It was the work of the one-mile relay team of Bob Sullivan, Charlie Finn, John Woodworth and Bill Mulcahy. This quartet was one of the top-notch re- lays in the East. But every time it stacked up against Holy Cross, some spill or some laugh of fortune gave Holy Cross the jump and B. C. didn ' t manage to win a race from the Purple, although it seemed that they would have taken the Cross but for numerous mishaps. This mile outfit ran a beautiful race at the Intercollegiates, finishing second in their heat and being bunched at the tape in the final within a yard of the championship. There were six in that final. All were within inches of one another. And Boston College, to coincide with the way things were break- ing, was picked sixth. Yet one long stride by the anchor man would have meant victory. The time of 3.24, accredited to the Heights aggregation, tells just how good they were. The record at present is 3.20 2-5s held by Harvard. The Eagles made a long trip to Annapolis in the spring and lost a dual M ' . im m [ ® Ml m BimifB 19 3 Q a cse t ssi @i t sah •EtiRRi i i I § i § meet by a score of 86-40. In their second dual meet, with the University ot Maine, they turned in a victory. But the Holy Cross clash went the other way. the Purple taking a rather one-sided win from Jack Ryder ' s pupils. That day was a memorable one for Bill Mulcahy. He gave Klumbach, the Crusader captain and star quarter-miler. a terrific race over the quarter mile and was leading with 50 yards to go. Klumbach nudged him off the cinder circle and Mulcahy lost a victory that seemed sure. Bill showed the same sportsmanship that has been characteristic of his running since he started here at B. C. by not complaining. But the referee disqualified Klumbach and Bill. too. Which wasn ' t exactly fair. But Mulcahy let it go at that and took his undeserved medicine like a baby takes candy. SENIOR Jack Ryder, after two seasons in which his Boston College trackmen didn ' t start the world on fire, began to build. Jack saw hopes of placing the Eagles on the same plane that they had been in our freshman year. And the winter season started off gloriously. The two-mile team of Jack O ' Brien, Brendon Moynahan, Tom Daley and Tommy Meagher ran off with their races in the Prout Games and the Millrose meet in New York. Their times were startlingly fast and it seemed that Boston College would be up on top again in two-mile relay racing. But a Bates team, with Russell Chapman at anchor, upset the Eagles at the B. A. A. games, helped partially, by a spill by Tom Daley at the first corner. Ryder worked long and hard with his team for the intercollegiates and the Eagles were among the favorites. But once more Bates was too strong and the Eagles ran themselves out. finishing fifth. The one-mile team of Captain Mulcahy, Bob Sullivan, Joe McCabe and Tom O ' Brien, with Guarino Pasquantonio alternating, had a few successes, but there were no bright spots. For Holy Cross had the great McCafferty on their mile team and the Eagles couldn ' t do a thing with this bit of mercury running at anchor for our Worcester rivals. Came the spring with dual meets with West Point, and Holy Cross, the Harvard Inter-Boston meet, the Penn Relays and the intercollegiates. But, too, came the time for the SuB TURRl to go to press. So the chronicle of track deeds had to be stopped. But, if those spring meets were worth re- membering, we ' ll still have them in mind. And, if not, it ' s best to forget them. Track provided us with many thrills, especially in freshman year. In sophomore and junior there weren ' t many victories but there are always thrills to be had when a team or an individual races its best and tries its hardest as the Eagles did in those two lean seasons. Senior, too, wasn ' t crowded with brilliant victories, but we got a kick out of the racing of the two-mile team and were very much pleased with the re- newal of friendship with Harvard which makes that year as prominent as any of the four. PERSONALS Bill Mulcahy . Bill was the man of the mighty stride and the heart as large as a grapefruit. For four years he ran his best for Jack Ryder and aided in many sensational victories. As far as titles go Bill was never known to be champion of anything but he was a champion with his B. C. track mates and with his coach. He spent most of his time turning in fine anchor laps on hopeless relay races. Bill, when he started off in front, was never 399 •aB ' EtlRRL i i beaten. But he usually had a dozen yards or more to make up and his ability most always changed such walkaways into real races. He was one of collegiatedom ' s best quarter milers. Joe McCabe . . . Joe d id about everything in his track career at B. C. from putting the bar on the pole vault to running the marathon. And he did everything well. His chief forte was relay racing. Joe was a member of Jack Ryder ' s one-mile relay team. The blonde youth was about as beautiful a performer as you ' d care to look at. And beauty wasn ' t the only trait — he also had ability in an unlimited amount. Joe suffered a knee injury in junior that hampered him somewhat but he was always ready to exhibit a fighting, never-say-die spirit in his every opportunity. John Sullivan Sully was a great quarter-miler in his freshman year and had a widespread reputation, coming to the Heights from Latin school. He performed brilliantly for three seasons but got tangled up as a corre- spondent for the Herald in senior and did little or no work in the sport. He ran in many important relay races and did some low hurdling in his junior year. John was the oldest brother in a family of great trackmen and what he did in three years at B. C. places his name among the track immortals at the Heights. I i i i Km, B M K®i [ (Bim( 19 5 Q D i® m [ a k®i ® i © a®i K® e, [ m K®j [ ®imi 19 3 D a ® js i g®i ® © g® Edward H. Herman, ' 31 Captain BASEBALL KtlB - tXRRL i I i COACH HUGH DUFFY The great advance made by the athletic teams of Boston College during the past four years is well known and appreciated by the members of this graduating class of 1930. Boston College has been rated highly on the gridiron since the memorable championship season of ' 20, which was cli- maxed by a Boston College victory over Eli Yale. The marked improve- ment in the class of our diamond products at the Heights is of more recent date. No little credit for the high calibre of our diamond products during the past four years must be assigned to our present coach, none other than Hugh Duffy, himself the greatest batter of his time in the big leagues. Jack Slattery finished his regime as coach of baseball in the season of ' 27, with a clean sweep of the three games of the series with our traditional rival, Holy Cross. Duffy assumed the directive role the following season with the brilliant record of his predecessor, to maintain. Duffy has produced and his products have been nines noted for their terrific batting power. Duffy has been highly successful in imparting to his charges the same technique in the art of batting which enabled him to chalk up the highest average on record in the major leagues. In his initial campaign as diamond mentor one of his proteges, far famed Al Weston, won the cup symbolic of the east- ern collegiate individual batting championship. Last year George Colbert set the pace for a crew of hard hitters to keep the cup in the possession of a Boston College man. Again this year Duffy has among his ranks such able marksmen as Colbert, Creedon, Temple, and Reagan. imm -mmjB mimm 193 D b ®i ® 1 ® g®i ® 1 © i®i i i i i i i sah ■sttRRi BASEBALL BASEBALL as it now stands in its rightful plane as a real major sport on the Boston College athletic program ranks in popularity second only to the manly art of football as displayed by the charges of Coach McKenny. We of the graduating class will always recall Hugh Duffy with the recent progress of baseball witnessed during our stay at the Heights. The most en- joyable feature of baseball is the resounding swat of hickory on horsehide. When our college days are but dimly remembered, we shall probably recall vividly the feats of Al Weston, Hank O ' Day, Joe. Shea, John Temple and last but not least, George Colbert. During our day at the Heights, Weston and later Colbert brought the individual collegiate batting crown to the towers on the Heights. Hugh McNulty and Jim O ' Connor stand out as the leading twirlers. These men were most successful in our annual crucial series with Holy Cross. Do you remember how McNulty set down the boys from Mt. St. James twice in the series three years ago? How Lefty Shea made it a clean sweep by taking the third game? How Weston broke up two of those games with the savage hitting which marked him as the outstanding college hitsmith of that campaign? We all remember how George Colbert stepped right up to fill Weston ' s shoes and succeeded him as the collegiate title holder. Pete Herman was a handy man with the willow, as well as taking his regular turn on the mound. Paddy Creedon, perhaps the most popular Boston College athlete we have known, a veteran of four years standing, was one of the real main- stays of baseball. Just as on the gridiron, Paddy was a good man to have around in a tight pinch. Larry Gibson had an up and down career on the diamond, but w e shall always remember that Larry hit hardest against Holy Cross — even when the rest of the boys couldn ' t touch the ball. Duffy has produced the hardest hitting teams in this section. We have seen the team amass lists of consecutive victories against high class opponents. But — when the big game with Holy Cross rolled around, we found without fail that a super moundsman was performing for the Purple. It is to the credit of Hugh Duffy that his teams were able to successfully compete against such remarkable twirlers as Pons, Hebert, and Nekola. The annual series with Holy Cross was interesting as another conflict be- tween two great athletic rivals. It was peculiar because as the season rolled around, the records showed invariably that the winner of this series would be conceded the mythical eastern championship. Boston College had bested all comers with a terrific batting power. Holy Cross had come through un- scathed because of a superior twirling corps. The close of the collegiate cam- paign came with the meeting of the hitting power of Boston College with the deceptive twirling and general smart playing of the Holy Cross nine. Those Memorial Day jaunts to Worcester were always repaid with the Kmm BK®i@ Mi®Kmim 193 Q s g:® i © ®i © i © ®i sah ' KiiRRi i i i i i i exhibition of college baseball at its hardest. The record shows that we have fared not too badly and at times have surprised all, even Boston College sup- porters, by hauling the Purple banner down to unexpected defeat. The re- sults of these great old games will soon be forgotten. Who will ever forget college spirit at its highest as seen in those tepid tussles. Many times the breaks were going against the team, but cool heads, instilled with the prin- ciples of clean sportsmanship under genial Hugh Duffy, offset disadvantages not by argumentation but by experimentation on the horsehide. Jack Slattery finished his coaching regime at the Heights by producing a powerful varsity combination. Hugh McNulty and John Shea were the aces of the twirling staff. McMennimen, Smith, and Tom O ' Brien of foot- ball fame formed a trio of capable receivers. McNulty turned in a great score that season, turning in two wins over Holy Cross — a singular feat in itself. Al Weston led the lists of collegiate batters during that campaign. Hank O ' Day made his debut developing into the best third seen in our days at the Heights. Earl Clinton and Fred Monce- witz formed the keystone combination. We remember Fred as the man with the iron arm. Clinton was a clever fielder and a handy man with the stick. Paddy Creedon, athletic luminary of our own class, showed enough ability to enable him to occasionally break into the veteran varsity lineup. Three of Boston College ' s most far famed athletes played in the outer garden. Dinny McNamara, now associated with Major Cavanaugh at Ford- ham, kept center field well patrolled; Joe Fitzgerald, perhaps more noted as a hockey player of outstanding ability, was a smart right fielder and a powerful batsman. In left field was none other than Joe McKenney, our popular and successful grid coach at Boston College. Springfield and the Navy were taken in the opening games. Mt. St. Mary ' s was next in the line of victims but the Eagles fell before formidable outfits from Georgetown and Villanova. A victory over Catholic University brought the boys back to form but Dartmouth emerged victorious in a close game at Hanover. Manhattan was submerged with Hugh McNulty on the mound. Boston University, strange to say, won the annual battle for the collegiate supremacy of the city, but Cornell and Colgate, both strong clubs were defeated in turn. The boys hit their stride at this stage of the campaign for Fordham, Syracuse, Providence, and Temple were all topped by the hard hitting Eagles in their preparatory drive for the final games of the season against Holy Cross. The series rolled around. Lefty Shea surprised all by defeating the boys in Purple in the first game at Mt. St. James. Hugh McNulty stepped into the breach to save the day in the second clash. The final game found Hugh in rare form. His masterful control insured us of a clean sweep — the first one in many a year. A perfect finish for Slattery in his last stand at the di m M m g®3 m i mimm 19 5 Q @ ®i @ i a g®i ® 1 d a®i sah •EClRRI i i I i i i Heights. Weston, in his first year of college competition landed individual batting honors in the East. SOPHOMORE Weston was back eager to win the batting crown again. But the Big Six was forced to watch Hank O ' Day lead the pace of the collegiate hit- smiths. Hank had blossomed into a slugger over night. He showed that his early season form was not a mere spurt by continuing in the lead all through rhe campaign. Weston came through with a terrific spurt in the last five games and just nosed out O ' Day for the honors of the eastern circuit. Paddy Creedon ' s hustling play earned him a regular berth at the key- stone sack where he proved to be a valuable asset for three campaigns. Larry Gibson broke in at left field. His timely hitting turned in many a victory for the Eagles. Pete Herman made his debut as a varsity pitcher. In the role of pinch hitter Pete showed some of the power which later brought him fame as one of the most dangerous of Duffy ' s crew of hard hitters. Georgetown and Catholic University were among our early season vic- tims. Temple and Villanova next squeezed out wins in two tepid tussles. Dartmouth, a real jinx for Boston College, emerged victor in a heavy slug- ging match, 12 to 8. The Fordham battle resulted in a real pitcher ' s duel. Rain halted the game, a 1 to 1 tie. The hard hitting tactics of Weston, Creedon and Gibson was much in evidence in the next four games. Springfield, Syracuse, Boston University, and New York University fell in order before a terrific barrage of base hits. A close win over Vermont followed. However the Dartmouth jinx showed up again at Hanover, letting the Eagle visitors down with a 7 to 6 tally. Providence was dropped 3 to 1 in the last game before the series with Holy Cross started. Memorial Day found the Eagles in bad form. Holy Cross taking advantage to the tune of 6 to 1. Manhattan and Notre Dame were victims, but the big guns of the Eagles were silenced again in the second Holy Cross clash. The season finished happily with a win over Holy Cross in the third game of the series. Weston and O ' Day finished first and second respectively in the race for eastern batting honors. Two in a row for the Big Six. JUNIOR Hugh Duffy ' s second Boston College diamond product proved that the old hit and run system was still good. The Eagles, boasting terrific batting power, swept aside all opponents. At the same time Holy Cross was setting up an impressive record by virtue of masterful pitching and smart fielding. The punch of the Duffy ' s men was witnessed by the fact that ten of the K®i © ( .@ i®i © Mi mmim 19 3 Q s i®! m m b i®i ® a i®i sah ' EttRRi i i i I I i squad were well over the .300 mark for the season. Weston, O ' Day, Cree- don, Spognardi, Temple, Herman, Smith, Reagan, Colbert, and Joie Shea, constituted a long lane of lethal long-distance hitsmiths. Hugh McNulty in his third campaign rated as a real topnotcher among the eastern collegiate slab artists. Shaker O ' Connor, sophomore southpaw, proved an able running mate for the veteran Hughie. Pete Herman and Johnny Dixon were able to hold the mound in the minor games. Herman replaced Frank Reagan, injured early in the season, and loomed as a potential Harry Heillman. William and Mary was taken in the opening game. Georgetown de- layed our flight but from then on the Eagles flew high and far. Villanova, Fordham, and Springfield were all victims of Duffy ' s slugging charges. In the annual games for the collegiate championship of the city, Boston Uni- versity was maltreated on two occasions, 19 to 0, and 19 to 1. Seton Hall and William and Mary, for the second time, fell before a terrific barrage of bingles. Springfield threw a scare into the Eagle camp but a win was finally eked out, 3 to 2. Manhattan, New Hampshire, and Villanova watched the Boston College parade pass, and then came the memorable series with Holy Cross. Terrific batting power of the Boston boys was compared with masterful pitchers and general smart playing of the Worcester contingent. Holy Cross had the edge in the series — one of those things not capable of description. Hoarse throats and many post mortems testified to the parallel merits of both teams. Moral victories were taken to heart, as usual, while the sting of defeat was dulled by lining up the prospects for the following season. SENIOR The 1930 baseball season began with a strong group of pitchers, all of whom had seen considerable service, promising a good season on the diamond. Seniors on the team were Boots Connelly, Paddy Creeden, Ned Donovan, Larry Gibson, and Charlie Murphy. Under the tutelage of Hugh Duffy and the captaincy of Pete Herman success could well be anticipated. Jim Carolan had arranged an excellent schedule, which, as it transpired, was smashed to pieces by weather and other unforseen difficulties. Of course, SuB TURRI 1930 can not be expected to record the entire base- ball season — there ' s a limit to everything, and even SUB TURRIS go to press sometimes. Storm clouds were hanging low — symbolically — over the Eagles ' nest on April 19, ' Tathers ' Day , and the season was started with a disappoint- ment when the Rams rammed the Eagles to the tune of 7-2. The Eagles followed the sparrows ' example and flew South shortly after the Fordham game, however, returning with three victories out of five games. The other two games, ironically enough, were dropped by the count of one run. n; Kmm i®i M (Bimm 195 Q a ®i@i M 409 i i I i i i 1 sah ■KtiRRi With Shaker O ' Connor, Pete Herman, and Johnny Dixon on the mound the pitching squad showed good mid-season style to the Southerners. The team ' s hitting was rather Hght, but the Maroon and Gold willow-wavers got sixteen hits off the Villanova pitchers, including five home runs by Paddy Creeden. This gave them a 17-9 victory. In the opening game of the trip, the Marines were defeated 6 to 2. Poor fielding and slow thinking cost B. C. two chances for victory against William and Mary, and Georgetown, with 2-1, and 7-6 scores, respectively. The contest with Catholic University resulted in a rout for the Eagles, who won, 10 to 3. Returning to the shade of the familiar towers on the campus, the Eagles had more confidence in their skill than before, as well as better form through practice, and they turned in victories over Syracuse, 8 to 3, and B. U. 16 to 15. A second game with Villanova was not up to the standard set by the first. Villanova was defeated, but partly through their own misplays, and partly through our timely hitting. The score was 8 to 7. A game with Boston University was tied at the end of thirteen innings, 4 to 4, and a great many games on the schedule remained to be played. But the end of the semester came. Commencement, and everything else, so the record is not complete. The complete schedule has been added, with the results in brief. VARSITY BASEBALL SCHEDULE 1930 -Fordham 7, B. C. 2. -B.

Charlie wasn ' t satisfied to play football. He had to keep in action all year long, so he rates near thetop amon g the outstanding baseball players. He didn ' t get the breaks so often, but then who does? Breaks or not, Charley never lost his smiling personality. Paddy Creeden. . . Paddy was a grid star for four years, too, and a baseball ace for three. He has been especially outstanding on the diamond during the pst three years. He has that stick-to-it-iveness that will carry him far after he ' s left the Heights, as well as executive ability and plenty of grit — and that ' s an important thing — grit. Larry Gibson. . . Larry is another of those boys who are not content to play one game and call it a job. Larry played hockey until there wasn ' t any more. . . but that wasn ' t his fault. Larry likes to smash a basebll to smithereens by hitting it with a bat. He likes to do it so much, that he ' s used to it now — and you ' re pretty sure to see him at it any time he ' s in a game. Jim Reagan. . . We thought Jim really had too much to do as President of the A. A. to play baseball during Senior. But Jim gave the team a break, and helped them along. He was fair on the flies, but he was a lot better at the bat. He was relied upon to do much of the damage to our opponents. If you know Jim, you know he came through. Boots Connolly. . . Boots doesn ' t shine in two branches of athletics, like some of his colleagues. He goes them all one better, and excels in intellec- tual activities as well as phyiscal. Being presidnt of the Forum doesn ' t stop him from shining on the diamond. In fact, from all appearances, it ' s a great aid to his ball playing. Ned Donovan. . . Ned is one of those quiet chaps who doesn ' t say much, but he does a bit of thinking, then supplies the action that other folks do all the talking about. He was one of the mainstays of the Maroon and Gold nine this year — and why shouldn ' t he be? Ned is right there with the goods. i i James F.

Smooth, sudden, fast, and dangerous, he blazed his way to many an honor, parrying away for the glory of Alma Mater at every chance. Langan, of the Celtic strain, dashing, fiery, fighting, Jim, the irrepressible, was the resourceful vanguard for the eagle in many a scrap. Doherty, Cochrane and McCutcheon were the juniors on the varsity — thorough, consistent, unfailing, in their support of the gallant seniors. The season ' s tourney got under way with the Porto-Rican match, when the metropolitan collegians of southern blood were soundly trounced at the hands of Captain Steele, Jim Langan, and Allen Doherty. The engineers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology were the next prey for the adept rapiers of the maroon and gold foilsmen. Vanquishing by a score of 14 to 2, Steele and Langan again led the team through a blaze of glory. Shortly after, Captain Ed took the silver medal in the New England amateur sabre championships. Then there was that unforgettable Yale spattering at New Haven. Stricken with panic (due, it is said, to financial strangulation) Boston College suc- ceeded in sending forth a three man team to stave off the savage onrushes of the intercollegiate champions. Arriving at Old Eli, Doherty, the junior member of the outfit, fell ill, and Steele and Langan stood alone before America ' s mightiest duelists. The Celtic and Anglo-Saxon of their fore- bear flowing freely in their veins. . . . savagely they parried and fought, dashing the length of the mat, the whole match through, to the most gallant defeat of them all. . . . seven and six. The General Electric and Shawmut victories followed, both teams drop- ping before the skillful blades of the eagle epees. There was an enjoyable trip to New York, where the City College edged the home team in an exceedingly close match of 9 to 8. Bowdoin at Lewiston in the Pine Tree country was the host at a match, the last of the schedule, and many happy memories linger about that gay old trip. Seasonal festivities were brought to a close at the Military Ac ademy at West Point with the intercollegiates semi-finals; Hamilton, New York Uni- versity, and Cornell were the adversaries, and Steele went to the Knicker- bocker town a week later as a finalist in the epee. K® ' SB M-mK®i B Mi@imim 193 Q Br®i ® ®i © © mi sah •saRRL i i i i i i The team was established at an auspicious time indeed, for even before celebrating its first birthday, fencing was ofEcialy recognized by the Athletic Association of the college as a minor sport. And so, for the many happy reminiscences accompanying the trips away, the anxieties, the fears, the genial hosts — and they were genial too — the keenly fought contests and the traditions that were made in this, the first chapter of fencing history at the college, all are indebted to two of the most gallant in ' 30, responsible for it all, Ed Steele and Jim Langan. Closely allied to the Fencing Team is the Military Club, which might fittingly be called the parent organization of the Fencing Team. The Club was founded at the College six years ago, and after five years of weary and toilsome struggle for its existence, it finally succeeded in making marked progress towards that point of prominence which seems worthy of the aims of this ambitious organization. During the past year, Herbert J. O ' Connor, ' 31, has been president of the club, and has proved himself not only a very efficient president, but a true leader, and even more than is required of a leader — one with executive ability. Herb was very influential in having Fencing recognized as a minor sport, and it is rumored unofficially in the B. C. journalistic circles (id est, the Lunch Room, Heights , and Sry us-SUB TURRI offices) that Her bert plans to have the Rifle team on a par with Fencing in the near future, as soon as there are enough at the College interested in shooting ( with rifles ) to become as proficient as membership on the Rifle Team requires. This year has seen the installation of an indoor rifle range at the College, in the basement of the Science Building. The range is reported by eminent authorities to be the equal of any collegiate or military range in the country in point of view of the many modern methods which have been employed in the mechanical facilities. An extensive R. O. T. C. campaign was in progress during the year, and the results were, if not astounding, at least gratifying to the members of the Military Club. In charge of the campaign was John J. Ryan, of Senior. He was ably assisted by George Nicholson, Charles Frazier, and John Callaghan, all of Sophomore. Since its inception the Military Club has formulated the idea of having some kind of War Memorial placed on the College grounds. This idea has grown to become a plan, and has had many adherents, but unfortunately either too few have been in favor of the plan, or else those who were pro- posing the memorial did not have the initiative to carry it through, or they themselves lacked sufiicient prestige and influence with the proper authorities for making the project a reality. As a result, the memorial, its type and location were discussed at great 416 ©S®3 sah •©aRRL i I i I i length in the market places, or in the Forum, and at times the memorial seemed imminent. Then it would die away until a new generation of fresh- men or Seniors sprang up, and the same arguments would burst into bud again. This year. President O ' Connor decided that something should be done about it, and as Mr. O ' Connor is a man of action and also a man of his word, something was done about it, and quickly too. For a committee was straight- way appointed to renew the War Memorial activities, and any who were alive, awake, and at the gathering places of the College, or anywhere within hearing distance of the Campus can attest to the fact that the Committee for the Renewing of War Memorial Activities was not a nominal com- mittee. And the cause of all the activity, clamor, hue and cry was Gerald Lambert, ' 31, and his trusty aides, Elmer Cochrane, William Cannon, and John Murphy. With these and with many other such activities did the Military Club concern itself during the past year, and SUB TURRI 1930 would not be out at all if we were to enumerate all of them. Nevertheless, it would be an in- justice were we to pass over them and say. . . This is the Military Club. For the Military Club has been one of our most active organizations dur- ing the past year, and the good it has done has been so widespread as to defy record or the observation of any one man. © K®i m m g@3 ( mmi( 19 5 D b im e 1 @ im m © mi M Francis C. Murphy Captain GOLF Sah •CttRRL i i I i i 1 i GOLF Early in the spring of 1930, Captain Frank Murphy issued the call for candidates for the Golf Team. More than twenty-five men reported in- cluding the five veterans of last year ' s undefeated team — Frank Bradley, and John Coleman of Senior: Joe McGrady of Junior, and Jerry Moore and Dick Nugent of Sophomore. Bill Tobin of Senior returned to the Heights after a year ' s illness, to better his victorious record of 1927 and 1928. With these men as a nucleus, Frank Murphy led his team through a very successful season. Playing his last year in intercollegiate competition. Captain Murphy set the high standard which has ranked him as one of the leading match players in the East. Frank Bradley, playing-manager, who was also in his last year of col- lege playing, this spring lived up to his undefeated record of 1929. John Coleman, the third veteran of the team since its reorganization four years ago, ranked high among the collegiate golfers of the season. Frank Lyons joined the team in Senior and displayed his prowess on the green as well as on the gridiron, and was one of the best players on the team. Bill Tobin strengthened the team in its loss of Vin Roberts and Joe Farrington by graduation, as the aggressive type of golfer who is not beaten until the last putt is dropped. The remaining players, who will bear the burden of the team for coming years, were Joe McGrady, a veteran of two years: Jerry Moore, medalist in the state Junior Championship, and Dick Nugent, veteran Sophomore who lived up to the promise which he manifested in his matches as a Freshman. With recognition of the Golf Team by the A. A. Board finally achieved, followers of the great god Niblick no longer must see their favorite pastime looked upon as a negative factor in College Athletics. Well might those arranging the schedule of other sports follow the ex- ample set by Manager Bradley. Beginning on April 22, matches were played with Amherst, Brown, Holy Cross, and with Boston University, Tufts, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Syracuse on the local courses. Although practically in its embryo state, the team had a fairly successful season, and defeated Syracuhe, Boston University, and Tufts. The match with Massachusetts Institute of Technology was tied. @| K®1 B M.

With the adoption of tennis by the athletic authorities as an approved minor sport early this Spring, a most formidable and com- plete schedule was prepared by Manager Tom Lawless, ' 30, to whom a great part of this season ' s success is due. The loss of three veterans by graduation a year ago left the responsibility of reorganization upon the broad shoulders of Captain George O ' Connell. The Fall tournament brought out a wealth of material from the lower classes, especially among the Freshmen. Unfortunately the new ruling on tennis excluded all first year men from varsity competition. After three weeks of strenuous preliminary practice the following men were chosen to represent the college on the courts: Chessy Antos, Bob Barry, John Ratti- gan, Kevin Hern, Jack Gill, Frank Geary, Joe W hitehead and Charley Clough. Number one position was played by George O ' Connell and during the latter part of the season Tom Lawless cast aside the managerial cloak to win a few matches for the Alma Mater. The brilliant and inspiring playing of Captain O ' Connell was the out- standing feature of the season. Before the season was completed George had won many notable victories over outstanding stars of the intercollegiate tennis world and to all appearances is due for a big year on the gridiron next Fall. The three Seniors on the squad were Frank Geary, Tom Law- less, and Joe Whitehead, three steady and consistent players whose ability will undoubtedly be greatly missed when the team lines up again next Spring. The schedule includes matches with Brown, Tufts, Boston University, Clark, Assumption, Worcester Polytech and Holy Cross, in all of which engagements the Eagle racket-wielders fought gallantly in their efforts to uphold the Eagle colors at home and on foreign courts. Although Boston College has long been prominent in other branches of sport it is only of late that we have made any progress on the courts. It is most gratifying to the student body that those of its members who arc proficient in the weilding of the racket are so willing to devote their time and energy to improvement and combat for the glory of Alma Mater. It is hoped that the ranks of the racquet-wielders will be largely increased in the coming years. Few colleges are blessed with such excellent courts equipment and play- ing facilities as Boston College has furnished during the past few years. The cup which our beloved President promises to present to the prize racqueteer (on the courts, of course) of the school should be an incentive to those who long for glory on the courts. Difficult as it is to admit the fact, the class of ' 30 had only one prominent representative on the tennis horizon — Tom Lawless. Formed by nature in im B m i®i m i @imim 19 3 D a i®i m [ ® i® b s k® sah ' SttRRL i i the mold of Big Bill Tilden, Tom set out to prove that he could equal the record of this famous racquet-wielder. However, though he didn ' t attain to the fame that is Bill ' s he made himself a well-known figure in tennis circles here at the Heights, and the class is most grateful to him for upholding its end in this branch of sports. Joe Whitehead and Frank Geary of our class also showed promise at this form of ping-pong, but unfortunately for the sport, both had other and more important activities to attend to, and tennis was left to the tender mercies of the lower classes. The Class, as well as the school, owes a debt of gratitude to the men who have increased the popularity and success of tennis at Boston College and we feel certain that this debt is recognized by every loyal student. i i I i m .mK®iB M mimi( 193 p a siei ag ®i®i 425 sah ' KttRRL I i i i i i FEATURES © Km B m K®i mimi® 19 5 D a i®i b a imi m © i®i Lee Dershipa Cademy, ' 33 Edit or- in- Cheese SCRUB TURRI i I i Came September, came the dawn, came Igloe — OURSELVES.

His heart was heavy within him, for he had just received the death blow to his lifetime hopes. He had flunked the course which he had taken after reading in Love Story Maga- zine — They told him that salesmen were born. — But now he makes $10,000 a year — thanks to this little course. All day long while slaving away at his post in the big commercial steam mill he had pondered and repondered what his dear little wife Lacrimosa would say when she heard the sad news. Would she hit him with a section of the starboard piazza, or break his neckbone, or merely hit him with a blunt instrument and leave his body to be found by schoolboys two weeks later? He walked along the dark road. Suddenly he heard gruff, guttural growls of men in conversation. He stopped short. Shall I stop or shall I go on? he mused. But being a B. C. graduate he put his query syllogistically, Either I go, or I do not go. — But I do not go. — Therefore I do not go. — Major — disjunction complete. Minor O.K. Conclusion I guess I ' ll go. This gives an insight into the mental operations of what was said to be Jasper ' s brain. At the age of nineteen months he had begged his father real hard for an intellect but Mr. Fruitcake refused fearing that he would cut himself. His syllogistic conclusion was strengthened by an argument from authority namely a poster on a nearby tree which announced that Swipe O ' Graham and Oatmeal Montgomery, two full-blooded cut-throats, were at large in the vicinity. Not wishing to have his throat cut by two stranger men, Jasper crawled along on his stomach in the well known way which Buffalo Bill had used in Chapter XIII (We ' re surrounded, my fine fellows) . After crawling about two parasangs in this fashion, Jasper came to a small hut, broken down, dilapidated and dehydrated in the gloaming. Let us leave Jasper on his stomach with his nose six inches from a broken window, and his dandruff tickling while we tell you that Jasper was the wild-eyed young man who had his hat smashed in the preceding book of the series Dick Favershaw at Prep School — a beautifully illustrated book, done in half-tone and half undertone. While we have thus been dallying, Jasper has wearied of his cramped position and has risen to his feet with a wild look of determination in his open eyes. Inside were bad old Swipe and Oatmeal, a villain without a moustache. He strides to the door, throws it open, and his youthful frank voice exclaims, Well fellows, we beat Stuyvesant Prep, and let me say that was some struggle, you fellows sure played a marvelous game. The effect of this speech was instantaneous. The two bad guys, feeling the spell of his personality, fell into a pile of rope and tied themselves up. Jasper strode to the phone. Police headquarters, he murmured, as he non- chalantly succeeded in lighting a cigarette with the fourth match. Little remains to be told. Jasper worked his way through grammar school, high school, prep school, and college. He and Lacrimosa became the most respected people in Bunghole Junction, and Swipe and Oatmeal after ten years in the county jail were pardoned by the governor, at the interces- sion of Jasper, and upon their release settled down to running a good honest speakeasy. 431 ® Km B E © 1®1 If you did not get your Feighls ' Suppleiiieiil with this issue please phone Cen Newton 1180 All the Truth You Wish to Read BEAT FOEDHAM The Feights Chem.

The largest crowd of the season was present to hear Chief Adams address the Club, fully eight men were present. Aloysius Morgan, the Academy ' s prexy, used a novel method in attempting to round up men about the campus to attend the meetings.

This is what you should do: 1) FIRST YEAR OUT Take a trip to Europe. 2) SECOND YEAR OUT Find a good job with a SIO.OOO per year salary. 3) THIRD YEAR OUT Marry a eoUege graduate who knows ettiket and get a job with an 685,000 year salary. Now if you follow this advice closely you will probably succeed. Now take my third tip to the stew- dents, that on marriage. Don ' t marry a girl for her money, marry her for the amount of ettiket that she knows. If she does not know the latest rules as laid down in Beale ' s Ettiket Book, then she should not be courted. What will happen if you marry a girl who does not know how to set a table correctly? Your S85,000 salary de- mands that you have a wife who knows her forks and knives. Now don ' t marry a girl unless she is a college graduate. Every girl should go to college and if you want to relieve the unemploy- ment problem among college grad- uates, then marry one and take another creature off the unemploy- ment list. I hope you guvs have profited by my advice. The stuff is here. If you want to get something out of it you can, if not — well .... it ' s up lo you. EAGLES BEAT FORDHAM 27-0 EtI.

The Seri- ous Sophomore, being of a more nautical bent (he once took a trip ■_o Nanuisket, bent over the rail, and hasn ' t straightened out since), piloted the Destroyer Boston down :he coast full speed ahead in order that his crew might be o n time to meet Afusty and his Knights at the appointed rendezvous. As had been planned beforehand, the combined forces of B. C. under the leader- ship of Musty and General Nui- sance, who by the way is the Serious Sophomore, made a con- centrated attack on the Prince George Hotel, but since the bu? boys and bell hops were pitching pennies in the ballroom, and the manager had not yet returned from she night before, the clerk, who was half asleep, va% taken by sur- prise and the hotel was in their hands at 7:30 A. M. The opposing forces met on the polo grounds. The number of Qothamiecs was ais scarce as a Chicago policeman in time of trouble, so the Bostonians, having read the historical account of David and Goliath, and being firm be- lievers in the virtue of charity, ;ent in only eleven champions to uphold their c use.

But why linger over the de- tails of such an unequal struggle; Afte the jles, psychological ideas, etc., had been met, distinguished and re- futed, the tally for B. C. was as great as the number of syllogisms in a Scholastic Philosophy book We must offer some credit to the contortionists in front of the Fordham grandstand who went sc far as to stand on their heads, thus enabling themselves to see upside ,lown but that only made our score larger while theirs remained the same no matter what position the took.

We wish to take this opportunity of extending our appreciation and gratitude for the many services they have rendered to our class and to the college in general. The Philomatheia has been one of the most vital factors in advancing the academic and social activities of the college. Under energetic and untiring leaders, its success has been phenomenal, and its steadily increasing member- ship now consists of more than fifteen hundred members — the mothers, sisters, and friends of Boston College students. As an auxiliary of the col- lege it has been the greatest and most enthusiastic supporter of all things on the Heights. It is due to the untiring cooperation of the members that the numerous events of the Class of 1930 have been so successful. Their clubhouse has ever been at our service, and the extra-curricular activities of the college have not infrequently taken advantage of the kind offer of the Moderator, Rev. Daniel J. Lynch S. J., and the French Academy has used the clubhouse for many of its public debates as well as for its annual oratorical contest. The Fulton Prize Debate medal offered annually to the winner of the Fulton Prize Debate is the personal gift of the Presi- dent of the club, Mrs. Vincent P. Roberts. The one event for which the Philomatheia Club stands out predominantly in the mind of every undergraduate, but especially in the minds of the Seniors, is the annual reception tendered to the Seniors by the Philomatheia Club, in the form of the colorful Philomatheia Ball. So attractive has this affair been made by our benevolent hostesses that it has come to be considered among the greatest social events of the college year — second only to the Junior Prom. To the officers of the club we especially render our thanks: to the President, Mrs. Vincent P. Roberts, who has ably and unselfishly given her whole- hearted support; to Rev. Daniel J. Lynch, S. J., Spiritual Director and Trea- surer, we extend our gratitude: in no less a degree to all the officers of the Philomatheia Club, who have unselfishly contributed of their time and per- sonal interests for the benefit of the College, as well as to the remaining mem- bers, whose sincere efforts in behalf of Boston College and in particular of our own class will remain long in our memory. It is with heartfelt sorrow that the SUB TURRI in behalf of the Senior Class and the student body express grief at the loss of the Honorary Vice- President of the Club, Mrs. Martha Moore Avery, the great Catholic Warrior.

To prevent these epigrams from becoming forever lost to future generations, we have preserved them here, either having them taken down as soon as they were uttered, or faithfully from memory, or as recorded in Tradition — meaning former SUB TURRIS.

We can usually judge the importance and worth of such organizations by their aims and achievements. Having this in mind in considering the Alumni Association of Boston College, we find that here is something that should claim our at- tention. The primary aim of the Alumni Association is of course to co- operate with the college and to help it whenever possible. This has been done in past years by gifts, by its members serving on various committees in aid of the college and in other ways, too numerous to mention here. Then there is another important function, that of helping and encouraging undergraduates. During our years in college we have experienced this sort of aid. Boston College men of other years have advertised in our pub- lications, have patronized our social, musical, dramatic and forensic activities, have been speakers at the meeti ngs of our clubs and at our smokers, and no doubt have been advisors during and even before our life at University Heights. Last, but by no means least, alumni make it a point to be mutually helpful. They patronize one another, buy one another ' s goods, engage when necessary professional Boston College men and generally do whatever they can to en- courage fellow alumni. We are now alumni. Why not try to follow in the footsteps of those who to us have stood out as prominent alumni? It is our duty to join the Alumni Association. We should be members who pay dues, attend meetings and serve on committees when called upon to do so. Perhaps some of us will be able to help in some of the projects that are at present worrying the Alumni Association, namely, the publication of a regular alumni bulletin and the founding of a Boston College Club of Greater Boston. Our chief duty in this regard, however, is to go through life, remembering that we are living advertisements of Boston College. If we fall, Boston College will be criticized. When we succeed in living the right kind of life, Boston College will rejoice with us. Remember, wherever we go the world will either brightly nod or slyly grin as it says: There ' s a Boston College man.

Status QuaeSTIONIS — Shakespeare indicated in a manuscript lost since 1640 that the original Lady McBeth stressed me. Since we are the only ones to know of this manuscript and otherwise the world would be led invincibly into error we feel a peremptory but not compelling urge to prove we are right, we mean me is right. Exposition — proposition is what is proposed as true. ' Give me the daggers ' — material object of discussion. actress — in contradistinction to actor, ' in the know ' — cute. me — a pronoun — formal object of discussion. Point of the Thesis — Daggers. Adversaries — The Theists, the Extreme Philanthropists and the Dag- gerites are directly opposed to this thesis: indirectly opposed are the Un- philosophic Shakespeareans. Proof of Thesis — Either the Actress really in the know will stress the give , the me , the the , or the daggers . Atq. the A. R. I. T. K. will not stress the give or the the or the daggers . Ergo, the A. R. I. T. K. will stress the me . Ad maiotem: — This is a complete disjunction, mutually exclusive. Any- how, we can ' t go around stressing everything, or there wouldn ' t be any stress left. Ad minorerns: — The stress is not on 1 ) Give — the scene is in Scotland. 2) the — any old daggers would have done this job. Ergo, only a logi- cal distinction. 3 ) daggers — the daggers are emphatic enough in themselves ( If you don ' t believe it, leave out the n in danger. Add a g and two table- spoons of salt, and you see the point.) Ergo — The stress is on me — not me but Lady McBeth. Therefore me. since me is Lady McBeth. Corollary I — Lady McBeths who stress anything but me ' s should not be given daggers. ScholION I — If McBeth ' s spouse had stressed anything but me she would not be a lady — See Tradition. Difficulties: 1. If Lady McBeth stressed me she would be an Egoist and consequently a follower of Fichte. Atq. She preceded Fichte. Resp. Whatever else he was, Fichte was a gentleman and always let the ladies go first. 2. If Lady McBeth and McBeth were married, they were two in one flesh, and Lady McBeth was talking to herself and meant McBeth as well as herself by me. Resp. Two in one flesh physically, Concedo. Spiritually, subdis- tinguo — a spiritual bond, I grant. Two in one entitively, Nego. 3. The greatest difficulty is hiding from anyone who had been foolish enough to read thus far.

However, he is a good fellow though and if those qualities which he has continue to be had by him, he shall climb high on the pinnacle of success. Though John, as his intimates call him, has not had much time to devote to activities here at the Heights his mother sent a telegram to the Editor of the SUB TuRRI to the effect that John was very prominent in the affairs of his home town being chief usher in his parish as well as captain of the altar boys for four years. Father McTool (the pastor) says that John was one of the best collectors he ever had. Throughout his years at good old B. C John was very diligent in his studies. If he hadn ' t missed his train one morning and had three per cent deducted from his Latin composition mark in his sophomore year there is little question but that he would be valedictorian of the class. We don ' t know just what John is going to do upon graduation. He doesn ' t say whether he is going to be a captain of industry or become president of the Pepper, Salt and Dandruff Company of his home town. However, we know that John ' s cheery smile and good behavior will add many friends to his many friends. ' Say, Joe, when IS the Sub Turri coming out? ' 471 472 THE POETALCHEMIST The poet sits among his tropes In stern deUberatio: To brew a little lyric verse His present occupatio. This sentence is iambic Let ' s pour in some eclipsis. But should we use litotes, Or mix in some tmesis? A pint of praeteritios And now some ethopoeia, He drops a can of metaphors With onomatopoeia. The formula for summer moons Requires synecdoche, The bottle for the songs of Spring Is labelled simile. Upon that tripod bubbling fast Are songs of love and roses The little stick he stirs them with Is hypotoposis. That bin is for apostrophes And visios of dawn. That shaker filled with ands and buts Holds polysyndeton. Where is that box of assonance And that poetic ' magination? We must order more hendiadys. And a jug of literation. Oh those freshman days again. When hearts were young and free. And for those fickle blue-eyed girls. We brewed our poetry. • — Anacoluthon, xxxvii. SMYRNA FIGGS CHATS ON LOVE [Your best friend might not tell you, but Miss Figgs will!] If you are bothered at all by amatory amenities ( you know what we mean — we don ' t!) just drop a penny in the — pardon — just drop a line to Smyrna Figgs, and she will show you up — pardon — show you the way out . . . there is always a way out . . . even if it ' s only away out west in Kansas , . . so send in your letters, dear ones! The more the marrier! TODAY ' S BATCH FROM BACHELOR BABIES: Dear Miss Figgs, I no sooner get a girl than she jilts me. I take them out often and spend freely. But it is no use. Each one I kiss leaves me immediately. I am handsome as can be, and have inherited a large fortune. What can the mat- ter be? Garibaldi Proktor. Reply. What you need is a change of style. There are five hundred ways of kissing and evidently out of five hundred correct ways of kissing you haven ' t discovered one. My book Kiss Me Again will help you. Or better still, from the tone of your letter, I think a personal visit to my office would be the best thing in the world for you. Dear Smyrna Figgs, I am now making $85,000 per year. I want to get married. I am a college man. What next? D. Lynnfield Chlorine. Reply. Get a girl who knows her silver spoons. Nothing is so essential to an $85,000 per year college man as a wife who can wait on table. I strongly recommend that you frequent the Crash Inn and flirt with the waitress with the pink eyes. I know she ' d make a good wife. She ' s my husband ' s first wife. Dear Figgs, I am madly in love with a Swedish blonde from Copen- hagen. How can one cope with a Copenhagen blonde? Neale Oke. Reply. Turn to page 436 of this pamphlet and study the picture there. Then study the picture on page 288. Then study the picture at the bottom .T, , IT ,T, ,, of this page. Then just study.

A purely spiritual being is one that is not intrinsically nor even extrinsi- cally dependant on matter in the exercise of its proper operations; e.g., an angel. A non-purely spiritual being is one that is not intrinsically but is extrinsi- cally dependent on matter in the exercise of its proper operations; e.g., the human soul — Dolan: Advanced Psychology, Page 160. But his [man ' s] soul, being a pure spirit, without parts, and not being dependent on matter, is immortal — Wilmers: Handbook of Christian Re- ligion, Page 161.

FROM OUR STATISTICAL DEPT. [Of course, we may be wrong . . ] How many of Thirty know who is the Class Infant. Now when we say In- fant , we do not mean Infant Terrible , for everyone knows that that THAT is one Heigh-O Langan. But we mean the youngest member of the Class. Whozzee? Dear, dears, he ' s none other than Mister Jawn Vee Cunney, the cunning little fel- lah from Salem, that bewitching town north of Boston. He was born on De- cember 23, 1909. Fellow Thirtian, that ' s pretty young, pretty young. Jawn hasn ' t been running around the Campus in swad- dling clothes, but — he ' s young yet, he ' s young. The second youngest is that bouncing baby boy — Charles Albertus McCarthy of Fulton Treasury fame. C. Al — the nine- ballot boy, the big boy for the big office. At the other end of the ladder is, as far as we know, Doctor Fred Pasquale, Thirty ' s well-known authority on Govt, and Sociology.

W. — Reveal, noble Athenian, thy downcast soul! Why do you weep when all should be rejoicing? K. — Ah, that the good Dr. Aristotle had never thought of this peripatetic racket. In soothe my bunioned feet do cry protest to heaven, as did the good Theban maiden that walked home from a chariot ride all the way from Thessally. W. — ' Tis true, noble Salamanian, drat the Gods. K. — And when I to my sylvan bower in good old Salamis wouldst ferry for rest, repose and blissful hours of quietude, I findst to fill the coming days a hundred and fifty history sketches to write (K. continued) of the boys that receive in June the gilded diploma from the master Aristotle. W. — Oh, you mean writeups, eh (aside — Gee, what a nuisance to talk Greek) I know, Willy is a modest unassuming young fellow. In Sophomore he helped his class win the bible — K. — That ' s it — Johnny, your smiling face is always before us — W.

Martin, President Subturricos today. Gee did you see that brunette smile at me? (meditatively) — Two hundred drachmas. K. — Don ' t be a crackpot, she was laughing at me. Oh by the way (and by the shades of the Greek trees) what time is it? ■ W.— Now? K.— Alas, Yes. W. — Let ' s see — (taking out theodilite and peering at the large local sun- dial) It ' s just two parasangs past four o ' clock. K. {throwing onion out of window) — Here, finish this spaghetti, I ' ve got to rush to catch the four thirty chariot to the Salamis ferry. I hope I don ' t have to stand up all the way home. Writeups, ye gods — well so long, kid {waiter heaves into sight with check) — glad you made those collections today {exits ha-haing) . W. — He ' s gone. He ' s gone. He ' s gone now.
