We few who have re- mained to see our College days and this Pub- lication through have come to recognize the permanency of the values and the persistency of the humble spirit of truth and charity which, both in theory and in act, have charac- terized our teachers and their method of education. In any period of life, but in this war espe- cially, we can have but one resolve and goal, as had our classmates and the alumni who have gone before us: Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam. In the world that is to follow, our Christian education and our loyal cooperation shall cer- tainly be taxed in the extreme. If this humble and hurried Publication can serve as the means of reuniting our class and of further stimulating the goals of Jesuit education, our dreams and efforts shall have been rewarded a hundredfold. James F. O ' Donnell Editor-in-Chief Official Seal of the College, featuring its motto — alev apurrtvetv — ever to excel. The open book, a frequent charge in academic shields, is centered above the tri- mount , which derives its name from Boston ' s old name, Tremoni. The Trimount is taken from the arms of the Archdiocese. Emblazoned above, between the two crowns of Boston, England, sets the badge of the Society of Jesus with its Cross and Sacred Nails. The purpose of the college as set forth in its charter is enscrolled about the inner shield — instruction in religion and the liberal arts. The outer circle marks the founding date of the college by the Reverend John McElroy, S.J., in 1863. J sAiaation REV. JAMES L. BURKE, S.J. Chairman Department of History and Government RUE knowledge, high and incontrovertible ideals, and understanding Christian Charity mark the delegates of Christ, the Great Teacher. The power of a teacher is not bound up in the subject matter of his classroom, but in the man himself wherever he may be. Generously he gives of his time for his students; and their problems become his own. Such is the man we have come to know as head of our History Department, as our professor in Public Affairs and in Constitutional Law, and as moderator of the Fulton. We are ever grateful for your time and patience, Father; and in our calling in life we hope to give realization to the constructive advice you have thrown out , and in the direction you have sig- nified.

LP%s±Ldsnt± y {s±±aas During these shortened years at college you have been standing in a coign of vantage from which you have been able to see in perspective, and to understand, as far as under- standing of such things is granted us, the mounting into cosmic forces of the vast human drives — love of country, desire of possessions, the lure of power. You have been able to see, also, the first faint lines of the order into which chaos is being directed, and you know whither those lines must lead if the world is to regain peace. In one way or another each of you must play his part, first in repelling violence, later in re- establishing the harmony of God ' s plan. May God ' s grace always be with you that you may realize fully the hopes which have been placed in you. Very Rev. William J. Murphy, SJ. REV. STEPHEN A. MULCAHY, S.J. Dean College of Arts and Sciences A parting word to a graduating class is always difficult, this even in the most normal circumstances. In time of national crises when one pauses to consider the tremendous possibilities of the near future, the difficult tasks which must be undertaken immediately and with what consequences, to say goodbye becomes exceedingly hard. Yet Alma Mater feels that you are fully equipped for any emergency, that you will acquit yourselves nobly in any task set before you, that you have the answers to all the questions and the moral courage to live by those answers. She knows that you as your elder brothers will come back to her with your shield or on it. And so she bids you a fond Godspeed and God bless you! Stephen A. Mulcahy, S.J. REV. JAMES J. KELLEY, S.J. Dean College of Business Administration The graduate of 1943 is leaving his College with the knowledge that his degree is a symbol both of definite accom- plishment and of readiness for action. With your courage and your vision, you are ready to give noble expression now to the ideals Alma Mater has fostered within you. Yield to no one in your devotion to your country and defer to none in your unswerving loyalty to the teachings of Boston College. Thus inspired, you will truly dedicate your lives to the service of a noble cause and you will play your valiant part in fashioning a new and finer world. James J. Kelley, S.J.

And here at Boston College the faculty has cheerfully and capably assumed the burdens of wartime education. Long before the day of infamy at Pearl Harbor, Boston College had revised its curriculum in preparation for the events which were clearly on the horizon as early as 1940. Many teachers who had devoted their education to History and the Arts cheerfully adapted themselves to instructing in Mathematics, Physics and Radio. With the departure of student volunteers came the enlistment of many members of the faculty; Professors Convery, Fitzgibbon, Bowen, were among the first to take leave. Physical armor and manpower alone are not sufficient equipment for the forces of a fighting nation; thus, as in the last war, many of our Jesuit instructors went into the field and on to the seas to preserve and strengthen in our fighters the recog- nition of our dependence on Almighty God. Those of the faculty now at the College have devoted themselves to preparing morally and intellectually young men about to enter the armed forces and the holy priesthood, and those already in uniform as A.S.T.P. students. We are indebted to you for the worthwhile education you have offered us, but to a greater degree for the true explanation of life and its end. Rev. Frederick W.

The picture above is a typical example of this mission of the Catholic priest, of the mission of Boston College chaplains. Here Father Gehring (from Brooklyn, N. Y.) in the words of consecration brings Christ and his spiritual medicine to our Marine warriors at Henderson Field. The sacrifice is cele- brated in a small shelter, outside of which the crowd kneels at Mass. Father Gehring is assisted by Major Dobbin of the Marines, a Boston College alumnus. The students and friends of Boston College are justly proud of the chaplains from our own faculty who are performing the greatest work of this life.

CLASS HISTORY SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Standing: Michael Gargan, Treasurer; Thomas Hazlett, AA Representative. Seated: Albert Dickenshied, Secretary; Paul Burns, President; Joseph P. O ' Donnell, Vice-President. It was then September, 1940, on a warm but beautiful day that first we trod the steep hill to the Heights. Little did we, unknowing Freshmen, imagine what B.C. had in store for us. Our friends had already warned us that college was no lark, that we would have to study at least six hours each day, and that no group of men in the world were sterner or harder than the Jesuits. That we were under grave mental strain on our way to the nearest building is a foregone conclu- sion. Where should we go to register? Terrified to distraction, we could certainly ask no knowing upperclassman, — that would advertise our status quo; and we were even then well aware that Freshmen were the pet hates of upperclassmen, thorns in the sides of professors and the dregs who impeded the pursuit of learning. We cursed silent- ly but viciously. Only one path of escape lay open to us; namely, following the throng to the Tower Building. We first came to know that the Registrar ' s name was Frank Campbell, who turned out to be an exceptionally helpful person in filling out an end- less list of cards. We were then informed to go to the Treasurer ' s Office, a place we could not soon forget. Here Mac and George Rowe assisted us as best they could, while we stammered shy responses. Our first important undertaking at B.C. was a full week given over to orientation ( — whatever that meant — ) and retreat. We met first the very learned President, Father Murphy, and Dean Long, who impressed upon us the necessity of applying ourselves to our studies if we would make a suc- cess of our college days. The retreat itself we enjoyed tremendously, and we all determined that henceforth St. Francis Xavier would be our guide and exemplar. At the end of each retreat exercise, we went outside to smoke and talk. It was at this time that we made our first friends, saw the foot- ball heroes, and were overawed by the din, clatter and rush of the cafeteria. What strikes me most in looking back to my Freshman days is the extraordinary brilliance and the amazing mental powers of the upperclassmen. They carried books bearing the most ponderous and onerous titles imaginable: Ontology, Psy- chology, Epistemology, et al. Not only did they apparently read of such weighty matters, but in their speech and manner of elocution, one could easily see where the future of America lay. To me it seemed that men only two and three years in advance of me had garnered and mastered all of the then heard of knowledge in the entire world. Our professors we awaited with an unimagin- able expectancy. Who would they be? What would they be like? Would six hours of study each night whet their insatiable thirst for knowl- edge? The first man we saw was Professor John Norton, who seemed not at all like a bookwormish and burrowing college professor; rather he turned out to be an extremely kindly man, gifted with a wonderful sense of humor, a most understanding pal, both inside and outside the classroom. We were still not disappointed when Fr. Reinhalter entered, small of stature but generous of heart. He threatened that we would very simply grasp the intricacies of Latin Composition, which we did not. A sense of futile terror once again gripped us, when after a hasty glance at our class sched- ules, we saw that our next period was to be Greek. The professor entered and told us that his name was Mr. Feeley. Before we had sufficient time to scrutinize him closely, he broke out in a strange form of speech, which might have been Arabic, but must have been Greek. In no time at all, we could recite the entire Greek alphabet, and it got so that by the end of the year, the entire class could — and I say this subject to contradiction — distinguish the Greek letters. In history, our falter- ing footsteps were guided by Doctor Harry Bowen, an original thinker if there ever was one. In time it became the vogue amo ng the more profound Frosh thinkers to class themselves as Bowen Func- tionalists . The most agreeable surprise we met man: his work=God is to the Universe among our teachers was Father Religio Repititio Finan, who made the study of Religion a pleasure to be pursued rather than a duty to be evaded. Within two weeks, the Freshmen were calling one another familiarly Jim, Joe, Paul, Don, Sid, Bill, Mel, Vinnie and Charlie. We knew in a short time that Vin Lally and Lenny Collins were the class wizards, closely followed by Paul Weiss, Don White and Mel Levinson. That the daily bulletin had to be scrutinized, we soon learned. In our minds there was no doubt whatsoever but that B.C. had the best football team in the nation and that Charlie, Toz, Chet, Joe and George were of the All -American calibre. In a short time we were calling Sully the manager of the cafeteria, by that familiar cogno- men, which is a watchword with all B.C. students. Some of us had the good fortune to win our way into his good graces, until he became not only our confidant and father-confessor, but also a loyal friend and one to whom we could go when in need of advice or advances. To Sully I must publicly acknowledge my indebtedness in thanks for the many times he steered me aright, and showed me the path of light when I was shrouded in darkness. It is he also who deserves the credit for the foundation and successful work of the Nancy Jordan Lonely Hearts Club of B.C. He de- serves more credit than we can ever give him, but he will always remain in our memories monu- mentum durium aere. At the conclusion of a two-month stay, we con- sidered ourselves as old-timers at B.C. We com- plained that if the textbooks got much larger, we should all be round-shouldered. We had our Snyder and Martin, our Boak-Hyma and Slosson as well as numerous Greek and Latin texts. A sur- prise crept upon us when the election of the Fresh- man class officers arrived. Of course we only knew two of the candidates, but we nevertheless pretend- ed to be most judicious in our choice, and feigned that we were not taken by surprise when our officers were announced as Tom Maloney, Fred Furfey, Jack Work and Frank Doherty. All Boston was waiting with bated breath for the return of our new football coach, Frank Leahy, an unknown from Fordham (at present sojourning at Notre Dame) who had as his assistants the equally unknown Ed McKeever, Joe McArdle, Johnny Druze, and Ted Galligan. They spoke to us at assembly and won us to their sides by their Jj| determination to produce winning teams. In spite of the fact that we were very much wrapped up in our own little world at B.C., we were aware, to some extent at least, that war was waging on far distant shores. Hitler, we knew, had led the German people up into the high mountains and showed them all the kingdoms of the earth in their glory and told them that all these should be given to them if they would but kneel and wor- ship him. This they did, by embracing the gospel of Goebbels rather than the Gospel of Christ. Paris, we learned had fallen to the avaricious con- queror; Britain was in peril of her life; the Luft- waffe was sacking London in devastating raids. However, F.D.R., who had been nominated for a tradition breaking third term, told us that we will not send our Army, Navy or Air Force to fight in foreign lands except in case of attack. We breathed a sigh of relief and turned our minds once again to football and Under the Tower dances. Selective Service had then an unfamiliar ring in our ears. Lovers, on the eve of parting sang, Goodbye, dear; I ' ll be back in a year. I ' m in the Army now. We were arming for our own self- defense at what seemed an alarming rate. There was also a Republican in the presidential race whose name was Wendell Willkie. Number 158 in the draft gave a hint that America was not to be caught unprepared. We gave very little thought to some business we transacted with Great Britain, which called for the transfer of fifty American destroyers in return for a ninety-nine year lease of some islands in the Atlantic. We forgot about the chaos, so evidently preva- lent throughout the world and determined to give full cognizance to the four hundredth anniversary of the founding of the Society of Jesus. Bishop Cushing, as celebrant of the outdoor Mass for the occasion, afforded us a never-to-be-forgotten spectacle. We had also grave reasons to be jubilant at the success of our football team, easily the best in the country. Centre, Tulane, Temple, Idaho, St. Anselm ' s, Manhattan, and Boston University went down before the might of our seven blocks of granite and the relentless determination of Charlie, Toz, Mike, and Frank. Georgetown came to Bos- ton, a choice to beat our team from the Heights. The Maroon and Gold just got in under the wire by one point against the mighty Hoyas. A mass of people went joyously mad as a fighting Boston College eleven nosed out a powerful Georgetown team by the score of 19-18. Auburn and Holy Cross came to Fenway Park only to leave after crushing defeats. The eyes of the nation were centered on Boston College as they posed their strength against a mighty Tennessee in the Sugar Bowl. Every sport commentator in the nation except Boston ' s Dave Egan chose the Tennessee Vols to beat our Eagles; but the fighting sons of B.C. were not to be de- prived of hard fought victory. Mickey Connolly and his second squad took the fans and players unaware by an unbelievable exhibition of stellar football. The score see-sawed for three periods, with neither team showing marked supremacy un- til the final quarter. Chucking Charlie stood back, the ball posed in his steady hand as if for a pass. The stands were hushed with expectation; the band kept playing, but no one gave it much attention. Suddenly, finding no receiver in sight, Charlie started to run with the ball behind the valiant interference of Toz and George Kerr. Kerr went down, bringing a stray Vol with him. Toz checked one man and pinned another to the earth, while Charlie sped to pay dirt in the end zone. Every imaginable sound of joy broke forth. Boston had won! Players hugged each other and danced for joy. The team was surrounded and carried to the locker room. New Orleans was ours for the night. But Boston had an even greater welcome for their team. Mayor Tobin and the fire department, citizens of Boston and New England, and most especially the students, could scarcely contain their pride for Boston ' s Team.

Some of the more loquacious picked the Marquette Debating Society; those of more robust physique engaged in athletic en- counters; while the more clever Frosh chose the Dramatic Society. Nearly all the Freshmen turned out en masse for the Sodality of Our Lady. We saw Father Bonn ' s Dramatic Society present Shakespeare ' s Richard the Second, starring Paul Good and Delphus Handsome Kid Duquette. We were impressed by the entire cast, but swelled with pride when we saw that some of our own Fresh- men, Frank Sidlauskas, Steve Stavro and Walter Collins betrayed positive genius in the line of production. B.C. again that year commanded the attention of all Boston. Snooksy Kelly ' s hockey team won the New England A.A.U. championship under the able leadership of Babine, Boudreau, and Ralph IT WAS ONLY THE BEGINNING ....

Our vocal chords received much more exercise than they deserved while we alternately cheered our team and tried to win the attention of some fair damsel. Soon after the publication of the news that Frank Leahy had signed a five-year contract at B.C., we witnessed the production of Canon Sheehan ' s Father Malachy ' s Miracle with John McNaught, and Roger Baker capably handling the leads. In spite of the fact that we fought a dense March blizzard, we were gratified in seeing that the members of our class more than held up their end and for the next few weeks Bill Philbrick, Steve and Sid were our topics of conversation. Even our fellow Freshmen from the Business School were more than mildly amazed at the pre- sentation of Hippolytus, a play in the original Greek. We fancied it extremely difficult to believe that John McNaught could memorize so much Greek and still maintain his equilibrium. By this time, of course, blue books and exams were familiar procedures, and ordinarily held no terror for us. Such, however, was not the case in regard to our final examinations. We boned, we prayed and even for a short time put our minds down to actual study. At the expiration of the exam period, we heaved a sigh of relief, thanked Heaven that Freshman year was over and care- lessly whistled Chattanooga Choo Choo. The weightiest problem that was ours to consider was nothing so onerous as war but rather how we could most profitably spend our summer vacations. We returned well tanned and in the best of spirits to the Heights after we had resigned our- Come Holy Ghost, Creator Blessed selves to getting out of bed at eight o ' clock instead of noon. No longer did registration cards instill us with fear; rather We spent no small amount of time in showering the terrified Freshmen with haughty looks in order to let them know that we were well accustomed to the laborious work at hand. Friendships, so recently formed and fostered, were renewed with no small amount of handshak- ing and smiles. There was a conference with When students outnumbered benches. Sully and Ed Finnegan concerning the interest- ing experiences and people we had encountered during the summer. As Sophomores, we no longer felt that ours was a position of subservience to those who were fur- ther advanced in the paths of learning than we. The cafeteria now belonged to us for conferences, stories and insidious plots. Our studies were a lot stiffer, we knew. Fr. Dick Shea, early in his life had accepted as his philosophy that people were entitled to receive in full that for which they had paid. He reasoned that since we were expending our sound currency for a college education, we were going to receive a full return on our investment. The weakness that bothered us most about Fr. Shea was that his grammar school education was most sadly neglected. For years he had labored under the impression (mistaken I think) that in each day there was twenty-eight hours. He was also amiss in his biological training; even the Jesuits had forgotten to tell him that nearly every human being needs at least six hours of sleep each night. The Ratio Studiorum deserves needed censure also as far as Fr. Shea was concerned. In Psychology we learned that the mind was a storehouse, but Fr. Shea was inclined to doubt on this point and was convinced that the mind was a bottomless crater which could be filled only with difficulty. At the outset, we stood in awe of Fr. Shea in Latin, English and History of English Literature. In the early hours of the morning, we retired to the comfort of our beds, mumbling until dawn: Don Jon pounding from the slaughted painted poop, Purpling all the ocean like a bloody pirate ' s sloop. Scarlet running over on the silver and the golds; Breaking of the hatches and bursting of the holds, Throning of the thousands up that labor under sea, White for bliss and blind for sure and stumped for liberty. Vivat Hispania! Domino Gloria! Don Jon of Austria Has set his people free! (Lepanto — G. K. Chesterton) Although he was a harsh task master, we all loved Fr. Shea, because he was so real, so practi- cal, and so paternal to each and every one of us. Our trouble became his trouble. No favor was too great, no time so valuable that he would not gladly and freely give it to his students. To Fr. Dick, now in the uniform of an Army Lieutenant, we say sincerely God bless you, Father, and guide you as you have guided us. In religion, we all wise Sophomores nearly drove Fr. Vaughan to distraction with our nu- merous questions — wise and otherwise. In history, Fr. Geary attempted to infuse into our Sophomoric heads some small part of the vast store of history, which he possessed. For the almost impossible task of increasing our meager store of Grecian knowledge, Fr. Reinhalter was chosen. He, too, accomplished more than we thought possible, be- cause at the present time — and I know this may sound unbelievable — one-half of the present class can successfully recognize a few Greek words pre- cisely as Greek, although a minimum of three guesses is usually required. In the news of the world, we read of Russian atrocities in Finland — for which the Bolshevists are soundly cursed. For the first time we heard names, now familiar, such as Smolensk, Helsinki, and Timosheiako. Before we had reasonable time to question this action, we read that England and Russia had formed an alliance to the effect that they would concur in opposing the German tide. At home on American shores we were as yet not too much affected by the war, except for the fact that the length of Selective Service was in- creased from one to two and one-half years. Bob Muse, now a member of the Marine Air Corps, brought to us his isolationist tendency as one of the most profound thinkers of the America First Committee — in the company of Charles A. Lind- berg and Burton K. Wheeler. We argued on the respective merits of isolation and promptly forgot these for we reasoned that the war was a European affair into which we were not to be embroiled. A cause for celebration . . . B. C. 56, Fordham 6. We danced at the Totem Pole to the music of Glen Gray and his Casa Loma orchestra. We at- tended the very interesting lectures of the capable Doctors Bowen, Pick, and Maguire, and reached the conclusion, that they were quite conclusive, but too idealistic. Soon after the retreat given to us by Fr. O ' Brien, we came to the realization that besides the Jesuit Fathers, there are also at Boston College Jesuit Brothers, who are quite important in the carrying out of our collegiate functions. We met first the aged Brother Leddy, who remembers vividly the Civil War and who was intimately acquainted with William Fallon of Fordham, The Great Mouth- piece of New York. There is also Brother Sulli- van, the very affable infirmarian, who is a native of Charlestown and is a well known athlete. In the cafeteria, we soon became acquainted with Brother Francis Fehily, the very practical procura- tor., whom we see with his little black satchel, ever smiling. Generous, kind and a true patron to his boys, he makes certain that our football team is well fed and cared for. His advice to any student is free, but its value is priceless. To him also, we, as students at B.C. owe an eternal debt of gratitude, which can be repaid only in a spiritual manner. Football season came again. Our interest was naturally more keen, because as Sophomores, we were well represented on the gridiron. There was Eddie Doherty, the most brainy quarterback that B.C. has ever fielded; Charlie Furbush, who showed himself to be an end of All- American calibre; Gil Adonis Bouley, proud possessor of a charming smile and crushing blocking ability; Patsy Darone, who made up in spirit what he lacked in stature; Bull Dempsey, who stands forth as a shining exemplar of grit, determination and courage not only to his classmates, but to men who in more peaceful days will come to B.C. Denny Myers who had replaced Frank Leahy in the coaching staff often heard the crowd chant We want the ' Bull ' ! We want the ' Bull ' ! The Bull would then go in to the delight of the fans, who agreed that Dempsey certainly typified Ameri- can grit. The football team in 1941 had a good but not a glorious year. Coach Myers, assisted by Carl Brumbaugh, and Moody Sarno believed in the gradual introduction of the new T formation. Ed Doherty was showing positive wizardry in his choice of plays and was quite a capable passer. Mike Holovak was the regular, reliable self and could be depended upon to gain when the going became tough. Gil Bouley was winning National acclaim because of his tremendous speed and abil- ity to block and tackle. Freddie Naumetz was switched to an end position, from which he functioned smoothly. Captain Al Morro deserves all the praise that was heaped upon him for his The B formation, with Marier ' s Musicians. ability to lead and to think clearly in a split second. On the Saturday after Thanksgiving, the team from Worcester came to Boston, a decided favorite over our Eagles. The game was a hard, clean, and most important one. Joe Osmanski was the Cru- sader who had romped wild all season; conse- quently, all eyes were upon him. The game was a practical stalemate for three periods, with each team alternately in the lead. With but three min- utes to go, Holy Cross led 14-13. Mike, Eddie, and Ted Williams fought hard and carried the ball the length of the field to the ten yard mark. It was at this juncture that every B.C. man ' s heart climbed within his breast, for the Cross had a powerful line which specialized in goal line stands. Teddie Williams started around his own right end in what appeared to be an end run, but handed the ball to Monk Maznicki for a naked reverse play which brought B.C. to victory. (For the benefit of the ill-informed in the finer points of football, a reverse is not a setback or a defeat, and a naked reverse is not a defeat in which the ball carrier ' s pants fall down while he is on the full run. I Victory dances delighted us throughout the foot- ball season to be interrupted by the election of class officers for our Sophomore year. We were indeed fortunate to obtain the services of our class luminaries: Putto Murphy, Paul Murphy, Whitey Kelleher and Harry McGrath. Great plans were formulated to ascertain that our social lives would not lapse into desuetude and stagna- tion. As December rolled around, we Sophomores planned bigger and better times for the Christmas vacation. Suddenly, a bombshell dropped in our midst on December 7th. Japan had wantonly at- tacked America at Pearl Harbor. Caught unaware by an undeclared attack, the blood of American heroes formed a crimson tide that inundated the land. The day that will live in infamy com- pletely changed our lives. No longer were we carefree college boys; we were now college men with a decided purpose to our education; namely, that we might aid our beloved country in the prosecution of this hideous war. Father Dick Shea, overwrought with emotion at the cruel attack, ad- vised us to stay at B.C. until such time as respon- sible governmental authorities should declare where we would be most needed. Memories of the S.A.T.C. and thoughts of the R.O.T.C. flashed through our minds, and we pondered carefully Oath of allegiance administered in the auditorium. what the future might have in store for us. Christmas vacation was cut short; midyear ex- aminations were abandoned; unfamiliar courses, such as Calculus, Physics and Navigation were introduced into our curriculum, and our entire course was accelerated. Upon the advice of the President and other high ranking governmental dignitaries, we determined to stay in school. Soon after the election of Mike and Freddy as co-captains of football, B.C. en masse joined the reservists to await future hap- penings. While the hockey season was reaching its suc- cessful culmination, we exalted the German diffi- culty to cope with the Russian winter. No longer did we half-heartedly scan the war news; now that our nation ' s destiny depended on the Allied vic- tory, we digested the news eagerly and prayed for a speedy conclusion. John McNaught surprised us by winning the Harrigan Oratorical Contest for the second time. Father Bonn presented the laugh farce, Uncle Tom ' s Cabin, which displayed the versatility of Ed Meyers, Frank Sid and Aunty Paul Good. Joe Simon Legree O ' Donnell performed the amazing feat of stopping an egg with his face, which egg was propelled by an unerring balcony enthusiast. The Hockey team won further acclaim by winning the National A.A.U. title for the third consecutive year. No small amount of credit should go to Captain Wally Boudreau, Putto Murphy, Jim Edgeworth, Harry Crovo and Phil Carey. While Douglas MacArthur won the attention of all America, we were pleased that Ernie Santo- suosso would edit the Heights during the coming scholastic year. We were saddened, however, by the departure of those two literary nymphs, Joe Dever and Joe Nolan; but we felt sure that Tom Heath could and would carry the Stylus on to an even greater height of glory and renown. Popular talk was centered around the meeting of F.D.R. and Winston Churchill, who met in the mid-Atlantic to formulate the Atlantic Charter and the Four Freedoms. The entire world read the results with glee and felt assured that the peace would be one based on justice, but we could not comprehend what freedom meant to Britain, when later on in the week, Churchill in speaking to the House of Commons, was quoted as saying, I was made Prime Minister not for the liquidation, but for the preservation of the British Empire. On reading this, we prayed that the mistake of Ver- sailles might not be repeated. Exams, blue books and proctors became the or- der of the day once again, and before we had sufficient time to get down to the difficult business of worrying our Sophomore year was over. Our Junior year started with an immediate May- June session. Heat and sweat, well mixed with philosophy characterized a hectic two months. We could do no more than shrug and say C ' est la guerre. Fr. Flaherty, Fr. Low and Fr. Harding brought new ' subjects to us, subjects at the very mention of which we shuddered; Logic, Epistemology, On- tology, Cosmology. Wartime Physics and Math further increased our perplexity. On the brighter side, however, we were free to choose certain subjects at our own volition. This brought pleasant days with Doctor Doyle, Mr. Buck, Fr. Finnegan, Fr. Koen, Fr. Harney and Mr. Donohue. We laughed to see Malachy McGrath, the ever watchful guardian of the tulip bed, trying to re- store order in those 9:15 traffic jams; Billy Frazier, stretched up to his full height, seemed forever to be in difficulties with Ed Finnegan concerning a bicycle. Walter Fitzgerald could always be de- pended upon to purchase the noisiest automobile in Boston; Edgy was always late; closely followed by Putto; Paul Burns usually glowed brilliantly from the sun. Jim Oates always looked worried; Lennie Collins was always the agitator; Don White could perpetually be found embroiled in an argument; Paul Moriarty seemed quite interested in the manner in which a certain Bakery Executive was utilizing her time; Joe Delaney ' s twang always struck us funny as did his ability in Physics; Sid was courting women once again. We were truly sorry to hear that Father Foley was leaving our pleasant confines to join the navy. We all thought and spoke highly of him, for the kindness he showed us as Freshmen. Rev. Stephen A. Mulcahy of the Classics Department took over his position of Dean. Gene Donaldson left us to don a suit of khaki, but his place in our hearts was filled by his very capable brother George. To George and Miss Mullin we owe an eternal debt of gratitude for their efforts, so freely expended and for their pa- tience in answering our many questions and per- forming innumerable favors. Before the end of the Summer Session we learned that Father Long, the Dean of Studies was leaving for the Army. Father Mulcahy stepped in to take over the office of Dean of Freshmen and Sophomores. Fr. Pierce turned out to be a perfect choice for the position because of his understanding charm and kindness. The month of July was ours for a short summer vacation, but few of us could utilize it as such. That month saw B.C. take over many and difficult tasks in defense plants, hotels, beaches, camps, race-tracks and even bakeries. Books were quickly forgotten and evenings were spent in peaceful relaxation. In August, we returned to our classes again. Thoughts of further vacations were banished and were replaced with thoughts concerning the length of our stay in school. We noticed that the price of food had risen noticeably. We soon found out that there was a gasoline shortage in the East. The newspapers were crammed with articles on the Alphabet Bureaus : O.P.A., O.W.I., and O.C.D. Leon Henderson, Harold Ickes, as well as Vice- President Wallace, played a prominent part in our daily lives. Paul McNutt seemed to have hit on the perfect answer to every problem by committing more gross errors than seemed humanly possible. Football practice started once again under Den- ny Myers and co-captains Holovak and Naumetz. Our Junior class was well represented with Charlie Love Eve All Furbush, Edward Brain Doher- ty, Edward Bull Dempsey, Stumpy Sposato, Patsy Darone and Gil Bouley, then recently chosen the most handsome lifeguard in New England. (Paul Burns and Jim Sweeney placed 96th and 48th respectively in this contest.) Shortly after the death of the repentant John Barrymore, the election of our Junior class officers came upon us. Jack Eastman, Tom Maloney, Putto Murphy, Mike Gargan and Charlie Fur- bush carried off the coveted honors, and we were well pleased with our representation. Unfortu- nately, many of the traditional events of former years were not to take place because of our accel- erated schedule, and once more we shrugged our shoulders and mumbled something about the war. At the start of the football season, Mr. Conroy was brought to B.C. to instruct us in the noble art of Physical Education, which produced more aches, pains and bruises than we believed one human body could harbor. Within a few short weeks, we seemed to have a new lease on life. Protrusions beneath certain chests began to dis- appear, and even Jim Sweeney and Paul Burns Junior Commando 35,000 look on. began to lose their appearance as of death. Char- lie McAleer and Al McDermott were quite content to walk the streets of Boston, exposing their re- cently acquired muscles to full and open view. Tiny Tim Geary and Zelch Connery became quite convinced that the noble art of self-defense in which they had become so proficient around Harvard Square was due in no small manner to Mr. Conroy ' s efforts. The football season opened against West Vir- ginia. On successive Saturdays, Clemson, North Carolina Preflight, Wake Forest, Georgetown and Temple fell in sharp amazement at the Eagles ' powers. The team from the Heights hit the Zenith of their power the Saturday afternoon on which they met Fordham. Cries of Give it to Mike and Hey Boston rent the air as our Eagles mauled the Ram to the stupefying score of 65-6. Boston University fought hard and well but was no match for the Maroon and Gold tide. The Saturday after Thanksgiving dawned clear and cool. B.C. was the overwhelming favorite to down the Worcester Crusaders. People refused to believe their eyes as Holy Cross soundly walloped our own B.C. As the last dejected Eagle left the field the score read: Holy Cross 55, B.C. 12. We couldn ' t understand it then; it didn ' t seem within the realm of possibility, especially after a com- parison of the schedules and the scores. Later on that night we got a much clearer understanding as to what is meant by Divine Providence when we saw the Cocoanut Grove burst into flames, bring- ing over 500 people to their death. We, of B.C., had planned a gala victory party in that very place to commemorate what we thought would be an Eagle victory over the Crusader. We gleaned more firmly than ever the truth in the little aspira- tion, Thy will be done. While the whole nation interested in music mourned the death of George M. Cohan, we for- got the war to worship at the bier of our own per- sonable Larry Kenney and his wife, who met their deaths in the maelstrom and chaos of the Grove fire. Larry will never be forgotten by those who knew him for his contagious smile, ready wit, carefree attitude and homely philosophy. REQUI- ESCAT IN PACE, Larry. Early in October, the eyes of the nation turned to Boston College, the alma mater of Commander John J. Shea, who met his death gallantly in the defense of his country. The Lincolnian simplicity of his letter to his son proved to us what an edu- cation founded on Catholic principles can do for a man, even in the face of death. His advice to Jackie, Be a good Catholic and you can ' t help but be a good American was food for profound thought. December brought us Colonel Romulo of the Philippine Army, who gave us his version of what we should expect from the Japanese when we joined the service of our country. His visit was soon followed by the award of the Lowe Trophy to Co-captain Mike Holovak, as a means of acknowl- edging his superior ability on the gridiron. The All-American choices of the nation saw Mike Holovak and Don Currivan take their places among the number of the elect. We proudly congratulated them in their good fortune. New Year ' s Day saw our football team gathered together for the last time as formidable opponents against a strong Alabama team, fresh in reserves. B.C. went down to defeat against an ever strong Alabama tide, but it was admitted by all that the game was hard fought and cleanly played. Our third year of college came to an end in February amidst another whirl of blue books and endless questions. One full week of vacation sepa- rated our Junior from Senior year. One event that will ever stand out in our mem- ory of B.C. and pleasant college days is our Junior Prom. The orchestra was led by Dol Brisette and and the place the Statler Hotel. For that night, war and its import was forgotten and romance crept into the breasts of even our more stable and steady members. We could not drive to the dance; we could not eat our accustomed steaks, but never- theless, an enjoyable time was had by all present. Our Senior year started pleasantly; but many of our friends had left us for the armed services. Problems confront us today, which as a result of political discontent, social unrest, lawlessness, divorce and moral problems will tax our religious education to the full. The answer to the problems and social evils, we soon found out was in a thorough knowledge of Psychology, Ethics, and Religion, which have a very practical as well as a theoretical value. Father Duncan, Father Boehm, Father McCar- thy, Father Murphy, Father Cotter, Father O ' Brien, and Father Douglas gave us of their best efforts, but some of us failed them. We will never forget Father Bonn and those flying locks, impersonating in true Shakespearean style; Father McCarthy trying to convince Leonard Collins as to the value of a true Catholic education; Father Sid Smith striving valiantly to .keep the grounds in order; Father Tobin, measuring the constant, observing the variation, and reasoning by induction. Father Finnegan never lost his Jesuitical dignity, even when confined to a sick bed in the Carney Hospital. Father O ' Donnell was never so busy that he could not spend valuable hours in giving in- valuable aids to his aspiring navigators. We often wondered how many times in a single period Father Burke tied his girdle and adjusted his cas- sock. No task was too difficult for his all com- prehensive and judicious mind — even that of try- ing to tame some of those radical characters that haunt the Fulton. ( No offense is here intended to A Night among Nights as the Club 44 says goodbye to the Army Reservists Remember the oysters, etc.! in March of 1943 at the University Club. South Station and So Long. President Burns sends army off. Don White, Len Collins, Mike Gargan, Larry Gallagher and Joe Delaney.) In the line of student activities, Ernie Santo- suosso handed over the Heights ' baton to Theo Bernhardt, who later relinquished it to the very astute Jim Oates. John McNaught relinquished all Cross and Crown responsibilities to Don White and Len Collins. Gil Bouley, later to join the Army, was elected as our very capable Captain of football. Frank Sidlauskas, Bill Philbrick and Steve Stavro took command of the Dramatic Soci- ety. Paul Burns took over the reins of the Fulton, assisted by Joe O ' Donnell, Don White, Paul Mori- arty, Jim O ' Donnell and Charlie McAleer. In April came the election returns of the Senior class. The very professional Paul Burns was ele- vated to the high office of President, assisted by other such politicians as Al Dickensheid, Mike Gargan and Tom Hazlett. The very conservative and judicious Joe O ' Donnell of the New Order group was elected vice-president, and it is inter- esting to note that his election was not shrouded by suberfuge or intrigue. Jim O ' Donnell gave B.C. a substantial boost in collegiate circles by winning the Jefferson Ora- torical Contest, which gained for him a pleasant trip, a sizable War bond and an introduction to a very beautiful blond model. Al Dickensheid, in much the same manner, showered the Heights with glory in his display of baseball against the Boston Red Sox. Newspapers far and wide spread the story of Al ' s rise from the sandlots. The better class of columnists intimated slyly that Al might have a professional basebal 1 career waiting for him. We sincerely hope so. We now stand on the threshold of our depar- ture from B.C. with mixed emotions. In remem- bering the proms, the Under- the-Tower Dances, the Pops , those heated discussions in the Fulton, those jolly conferences in the cafeteria and the nights spent over fraternal cups, we cannot but feel a glow of pleasant recollections. In contem- plating the friendships with both professors and fellow-students, which must be broken for a time and perhaps forever, we cannot but feel a twinge of pain. It is only upon this occasion of departure that the full significance of this moment comes to us. It means that all of B.C. ' 44 are gathered to- gether, perhaps for the last time. We go forth to fight that the world may once again be a haven of peace and freedom for its inhabflants. And in going forth to fight we are not alone. We step into the ranks only to take our places beside B.C. men of former years. The courage, the loyalty, the bravery which led many B.C. men to give the last full measure of devotion will ever be with us into whatever remote lands our govern- ment may send us. We will stand beside the ghosts of Commander John J. Shea, Lieut. Gately, John J. Gallagher, Richard Kelley and Bob McGeharty. Truly, ours is an age of men — an age of ad- vancement wherein missionary work, exploration, agriculture, construction, aviation, navigation, war and countless other fields offer the dangers and rigors of life which require hardy, true and loyal Christian men to withstand the pressure of a cha- otic world. Whatever field each one of us may enter, we shall all reap the benefits of the Chris- tion education for which we are indebted to Boston College. To B.C., we owe those happy memories of companionship, of clean joviality and true reli- gious inspiration. We are fighting for a nobler cause than many of us realize; we are fighting for a nobler cause than many of us deserve. What a great people we will be when all of us know! Oh Alma Mater! Make us worthy of the great cause we are asked to defend. Open our blind eyes to see that wor- ship is not a right but a duty, that freedom is not an end but a means. Strengthen us to walk worthy of the nation for whose defense we have been called. Give to us a continued love of God, an irrepressible desire for Victory and a firm amend- ment that the peace will be just. Alma Mater, we of ' 44 thank you! Joseph P.

WHO ARE THE SENIORS? From a Freshman Class of some four hundred and fifty, but seventy-odd students have been fortunate enough to survive at the Heights for graduation. Others of our class were called upon by God and by country for their services during the course of their undergraduate studies. But they were all to be seniors of the class of 1944. Thus in this section of the Sub Turri our class is again consolidated as far as possible. Because of the engraving difficulty of handling all sizes and shapes of servicemen photos this part of the Senior section will not proceed in alpha- betical order. Distance and time made it impossible to feature portraits of every service man of the class of ' 44. aiev upuTTeveiv FREDERICK CHARLES ANDERSON, JR. B.S.B.A. U.S.N.R. 39 Temple St., Arlington, Mass.

MARY ' S CHAPEL CLASSMATES IN A GRE AT CAUSE For many years Boston College has served as a training center for many professions and fields of life. With the advent of war she has broadened her channels of preparation so that now she is a background for our nation ' s military forces. But, despite the war, there is one service which she has always proudly performed and that is the mould- ing of men for the army of Christ. More than ever, Boston College is a stepping stone to the Priest- hood. During the course of the years nearly every known religious Order has received a representa- tive from the Heights. Of all the worthy causes to which the college has contributed men, the medical profession, lawyers, teachers and scientists, none is more worthy than this. For these are the repre- sentatives of Christ on earth, the teachers of His doctrine, the caretakers of the souls of men. These companions have made a great sacrifice for they have left brother and sister, home and friends to follow in the footsteps of the Master. And everyone that hath left house or brethren, or sisters or father or mother .... for my name ' s sake, shall receive a hundred fold, and shall possess life ever- lasting. The class of ' 44 is proud to have contributed her share to the service of God. As early as Freshman aspirants for the Seminary left the Heights. Scholarly and reverential Joe Caruso, a lover and master of the Greek language took his learning across to the attracting solitude of St. John ' s Semi- nary. A staunch leader of Catholic action, an in- spiration to his fellow students, no one was sur- prised to see Joe enter the life he so ardently desired. But, Joe was not alone at St. John ' s that year. Smiling Jerry Cullinane and serious, devoted John Carr joined their opposing personalities to study for the same goal. Jerry Cullinane was a friend of all at the college with his overwhelming, congenial personality which on a dreary day was like a burst of sunshine from an outside world. To be sure the Priesthood has obtained a great leader in this servant of God who has a unique character that will draw many souls to God. John Carr was patient and hardworking and one cannot think of him without the picture arising of him as he fre- quently served the First Friday Devotions in the Library Auditorium. It was no surprise either that John made his service more active by entering St. John ' s. Again, Leo McDonough as early as Fresh- man made up his mind to become a Jesuit. By this time he is well advanced towards the climax of his preliminary training. The last days of Sophomore were marked with the sudden tragedy of a state of war. Brothers and friends were already on their way to the battle- fields. The ambitions of fellow classmates were frustrated for the time at least. Yet, the pre- theological students persevered in their endeavors. To St. John ' s went calm, reverential and erudite Bill Glynn from Dorchester. He was a prominent figure in the Freshman and Sophomore Sodality and also the German Academy. A scholar through and through, his intellectual abilities extended to various fields of learning. He was a confirmed lover of the Latin classics and was extremely in- terested in history and rhetoric. At the same time he was very popular with the student body. However, St. John ' s was not to have a complete monopoly on the candidates. Handsome George Barry dedicated his life to the source of his learn- ing, the Jesuits. George ' s field was Greek which he could handle as readily as the professor. We look forward to the day when at some college if not at B. C. itself, George shall be teaching Freshman and Sophomore Greek. Al Gaudet was the class master of the French language. A cheerful con- versationalist, Al made a very practical move when he joined the Assumption Fathers in Canada. There his mastery of French shall be put to great use in preaching the Gospel of Christ. Then, John Mac- Namara of Melrose versed with the produce of two GERARD CARROLL Now at Maryknoll years of Honor ' s Course study took residence at Shadowbrook. A graduate of Maiden Catholic he was noted as a public speaker, a faculty which he advantageously made use of in Sodality lectures. There was Tom Mooney of Brighton who lived al- most outside the gates of St. John ' s Seminary and after his second year finally crossed the threshold. Resolute and sedate he possessed the qualities of dignity and learning that characterize ministers of this Holy Office towards which he strives. The Sophomores were very well represented at Shadowbrook that year. Robust, curly-haired William Pashby of Lynn left his extracurricular activities at the Heights for service of a more pious nature in the Jesuits. He was an outstanding orator of the Marquette Debating Society for two years and never a meeting passed without Bill in his humorous way expressing his views on the subject matter at hand. Another outstanding leader of college activities in the person of Tom Owens of Lynn likewise joined the Jesuits. Tom during his short stay at B. C. became distinguished as one of the early editors-in-chief of the Humani- ties. Always eager to spead culture as he did through the Humanities, Tom now prepares him- self to spread Catholic culture in a more concrete way by joining a great Order. The tiring difficulties of war increased in Junior year and still the Seminarians were working hard to carry out their ideal in life. Serious and studi- ous Frank Gallagher of Dorchester whose field of concentration was the English classics, left us shortly after Junior for St. John ' s Seminary. Frank, tranquil and benevolent was a constant visitor of the library and for that reason was well- read. His absence from Senior was a source of sorrow to all his friends though they appreciated the high calling he set out to reach. His friend Bernard Keenan genial at all times joined him to enter the Diocesan Seminary. Bernard was an English major also but nevertheless he liked to dabble in scientific fields. An ever-active Catholic, he had a deep yearning for the religious life. Two more from Junior left for the Jesuits in the persons of John O ' Brien of Arlington and Augus- tine Caffrey of Lawrence. John was a science lover and majored in Mathematics. The keen, analytic training which Mathematics gave his mind, facili- tated his study of Philosophy so that he became enwrapped in this field. An interesting contro- versialist, all were glad to discuss with him the problems of Philosophy. Guy Caffrey was a man A PRIEST OF GOD FOREVER of practical faith and yet as sincere a candidate to the Jesuits as there ever was. Gus spent his Junior year steeping himself in the problems of Eco- nomics. Apparently he came to the conclusion that money was of little value in the world and so he changed his life to one of poverty, chastity and obedience. From section 2E, under the guidance of Mr. Patrick Sullivan, S.J., four Juniors went forth into religious seminaries. Gerry Carroll, cham- pion of intramural athletics, chose Maryknoll as his life. His choice was a popular one as he was followed by Dedham ' s Bill Phillips and by Plym- outh ' s Gerry Ziegengeist. They took up their studies at Clark Summit, Pa. Of the same class Ed Moan of Newton began his novitiate with the Oblate Fathers at Tewksbury, Mass. In addition to those just mentioned who have gone before, St. John ' s has accepted upon gradu- ation John Devlin, Eugene Bertolli, and Paul Moriarty. Certainly, the class of ' 44 is well repre- sented in the army of Christ. We give the greatest of praise to those who have left for this high calling for their departure in- volved many hardships. They have been among the outstanding members of the college both in in- tellectual and social activities. Debating members, literary editors and Academy members, their pres- ence has been missed by us who remained as they too must have missed B. C. But, they gave up the pleasant atmosphere of college life for the much more happy surroundings of a life of close union with God. They realized the true values and were willing to sacrifice to obtain them. To them shall come in the words of St. Paul an uncorruptible crown for they seek nothing for themselves but all things for the glory of Him Who created them. P. M.

The Sodality of the Immaculate Concep- tion is the leading spiritual organization in Boston College and is composed of those stu- dents who seek first the personal sanctification of their own lives and secondly, the active participation in the work of Catholic Action. All the activity of the organization is per- formed under the special patronage of the Mother of God and each sodalist adopts her as his patroness. Since the sodality was insti- tuted in a Jesuit College for men, it formu- lates a programme which will interest Catho- lic College men in a spritual, intellectual and social aspect. In addition, membership in this society has always been an essential pre- rogative for admission to the Cross and Crown Honor Society. During the past year, the Sodality has con- tinued to exert great influence in the life and conduct of the members of the college, de- spite a very sharp curtailment of its more pleasant functions, necessitated by the war. The kindly help and strength it offers in time of stress and strain have overabundantly equipped our boys with the will to acquit themselves gloriously in the trials to come, as its previous members have demonstrated. Long live the Sodality of Boston College! This year, the Sodality of Boston College, under the energetic leadership of Joe George and Paul Murphy, co-prefects, succeeded in enjoying a most profitable season. Fr. James L. McGovern, new faculty moderator, gave a series of lectures on the physical parts of the Mass which pyramided the members ' appre- ciation of the Holy Sacrifice and helped to clarify many difficulties which commonly arise in connection with it. Undoubtedly, this in- struction will profit its hearers immeasurably in the days to come. Following the policy of previous B. C. societies which have brought many interesting and instructive lectures to the Heights, the sodality presented Bishop Henry Yu-Pin of the province of Nanking, China, to an eager, inquiring audience. c R O s s A N D C R O W N Monks, Moriarty, White, Bertolli. Krebs. Fitzgerald, Weiss, Collins, Sullivan. The Cross and Crown Honor Society of Boston College is made up of that group of seniors who, by their undergraduate record, have manifested superior intelligence and ability in both class work and extra-curricu- lar activities. Admission for those seniors who meet its high requirements is automatic and based solely on achievement. That senior having the best record scholastically and in extra-curricular activities combined is ap- pointed Knight Commander of the Cross and Crown by the dean of the college. This year the exigencies of war and of an accelerated educational program have ex- tremely limited the activities of the society, but its members have continued to contribute greatly to the intellectual life and social hap- penings of the college. Many are already in the service of their country, and th ose in col- lege will soon join them to carry out to the battlefields the fine training and background which they exemplify. The following are the Class of 1944 mem- bers: Donald J. White, Knight Commander Eugene G. LaForet Paul H. Weiss Joseph F. Krebs John A. Duggan Thomas J. Fitzgerald Eugene E. Bertolli Paul D. Murphy Joseph A. Sullivan John J. Devlin Paul J. Moriarty William A. Philbrick Richard E. Potocki Edward J. Acton Leonard C. Collins Leo E. Monks s T Y L U S Bertolli, Stavro, Moriarty, Weiss, Laforet, Leonard and Dunfey. This year, as in several recent years, the Stylus garnered honors in the competition of the Catholic School Press Association. Amass- ing 2,765 points out of a possible 3,000, the Stylus was named All Catholic , again dem- onstrating the fact that it is one of the top magazines in the collegiate world today. This high standard is due in great part to the qual- ity of work done under Joe Dever, and the continuance of this tradition under Tom Heath under especially adverse conditions. Still functioning through a critical period, this year the Stylus continued on the same high tone under the direction of Managing Editor Ronald Dunfey. Under him were several very capable members of the class of 1944. Dick Leonard handled Features; Paul Weiss, copy and proof-reading; Ed Doherty, literary selection; Bill Dunn, Art; and Steve Stavro, Photography. In addition to their editorial functions, these men were noted for their gen- erous contributions to the magazine. Ed Doherty wrote sparkling verse-humor; Paul Weiss treated of the musical world; Dick Leonard contributed theatrical reviews; and Bill Dunn and Steve Stavro complemented the whole with sketches and photographs. In addi- tion to these regular staff members, Gene La- foret and John Devlin added a note of astute- ness to the book with their musical features. The representation of the underclasses on the staff was at all times shifting due to activa- tion of reserves and draft calls. Those out- standing in classic prose were Walter Morris and Sandy Jenks. While Wally McGlynn and Charlie Phillips strengthened the Art Depart- ment, the talent of Bill Ryan and Paul Shee- han was early missed. But despite the war, the general view of the Stylus is still bright. Due largely to the band of seniors who came forward to fill gaps left by the draft, the Stylus carried on valiantly. With the recent suspension of Dramatics Ac- tivities, the magazine became the oldest organ- ization at Boston College which has continued without a break since the time of its founda- tion. That this is so is due in large part to the efforts of the class of forty -four; the Stylus salutes them! Now, with the main bulk of the staff leav- ing, the prospects for the coming year are dif- ficult indeed. Yet a group of Sophomores and Freshmen, together with a sprinkling of Jun- iors will return to the Stylus to work under the direction of Ronald Dunfey as Editor for his second year.

Extracurricular activities are necessary at the College in order to maintain close relation- ship with the students and those who have grad- uated. The most important activity which makes possible this welding together of present and former students is the weekly publication of the Heights. During these months of war, former stu- dents now active in the service of their country are constantly kept in touch with the College through the medium of the press. To obtain news from their Alma Mater is one of the best morale builders for men away from home. Every week hundreds of copies of the Awaiting the Dawn Heights are mailed to all parts of the country. This is possible through the cooperation and interest of every member of the Staff. To praise each one individually would be practi- cally impossible, but all deserve equal thanks. They have given their time willingly in order that the students and Alumni would receive news of the doings at Chestnut Hill. Men whose by-lines often appeared above their articles in the Heights are now engraved on the Honor Rolls of World War II. Bob Galligan, Thomas O ' C. Murray, Steve Mea- gher, Tom Meagher, Tom Galligan, John J. Connolly, Tim X. Cronin, Fred Leonard, John Larner, John Loscocco, Ernie Santos- uosso. These names signify only a few of for- mer members of the Staff now scattered throughout the world. During the last publication days of the Heights it was practically impossible to obtain writers, artists, typists, and all those necessary to make the publication of the paper possible. Jim Oates, Editor-in-Chief, accomplished the impossible, and through the untiring coopera- tion of his skeleton Staff, gave to the stu- dents the same superior quality work that they received in pre-war times. Often the paper was put to bed in the wee hAu£fllof the morning. gjJJ J5=  F U L T O N Rear: Delaney, Oates, Collins. Middle: McAleer, McDermott, Gargan, J. F. O ' Donnell, Mr. Donoghue. S.J.

With graduation of the class of ' 44, the society concludes a very successful season, thanks to the guiding direction of its able modera- tors, Father Burke and Mr. Donoghue, S.J. Unlike its effect on so many other extra-curricular activities, the war has actually proven a stimulus to the upper- classmen ' s forensic talents. Without exception the club ' s regular Friday meetings have been marked by fiery and maturing argument, depicting the best way of bringing Christian ethics and American practicality to bear on the world of tomorrow. The Fulton ' s opportunities for public appear- ances in these times have, quite naturally, been limited. Yet this year the society has truly capital- ized on its every opportunity. Early in April the Fulton did honor to the name of Boston College when its representative, James O ' Donnell of Everett, was unanimously declared the winner of the Jef- ferson Oratorical Contest for Greater Boston col- leges. The same week, a delegation of Fultonians travelled to the hills of Weston to participate, along with Holy Cross and Emmanuel, in the annual Regis Round-Table Conference. Here again Father Burke ' s men were not outvoiced by their Jesuit and feminine rivals. But owing to the charm and tact of the chairman, Leila Foley, and her reception committee, Al McDermott, Jim Oates, and the boys returned to the Heights on Monday with an air of enlightenment. Then came the memorable evening of May ninth, Mother ' s Day. It was marked by a one-stop trip to Fall River and a genial reception there by the U.S.O. That evening was marked by an irrefutable defense of Ireland for the Irish by the O ' Donnell brothers, by a bitter, though fragmentary rebuttal by Mr. White of Quincy and Mr. Moriarty of Union Square, and by a peaceful return to Boston that morning with conciliator Burns at the wheel. The society ' s highest office has been faithfully administered by Senior Class President Paul Burns, of Dorchester, assisted by Vice-President Joseph P. O ' Donnell, of Maiden, Don White, who discharged his duties as Sergeant-at-Arms with scholarly pa- tience; while honor student Paul Moriarty was commended time and again by the Fulton and its moderator for the consistency of his humor-tinged and subjectively unbiased reports. President Burns headed a delegation to Dartmouth, conclud- ing the first semester with a debate on the strike situation. The second semester witnessed a departure of the club ' s officers to the Federal forces. Paul Burns left for Parris Island, and J. F. O ' Donnell took over the gavel. Vice-President J. P. entrained with Charley McAleer for Midshipman ' s schooling at Notre Dame, and handsome John Mulvehill went to Tufts. When things were reorganized, Donald White was elected Vice-President, Paul Moriarty Secretary, and Jim Oates as Sergeant-at-Arms. M A R Q U E T T E During the first two years at Boston Col- lege there is not a more popular extra-cur- ricular activity than the Marquette Debating Society. Its members eagerly await the week- ly meetings where debates are held contesting the more important economic and political questions of the day. After each meeting a constructive criticism is given by the moder- ator on the question itself and the speakers. To this criticism, plus the untiring efforts of Father Geary goes the success of the society. He indeed is the genius behind the success of Marquette Debating. The society believes, and truly so, that m an in life has no greater asset than the ability to stand before people and speak his mind intel- ligently and eloquently. It attempts to bring out these qualities in its weekly sessions, lec- ture debates and intercollegiate contests. An- nually the Marquette debates Holy Cross, Tufts, M.I.T., Fordham, Princeton and Bos- ton University to mention but a few. For the present, the Marquette has almost wholly laid aside its debating activities and given way to the more urgent winning of the war, but only after it has made itself one of the foremost societies of its kind among col- legiate circles under the guidance of its able moderator Fr. Geary, S.J., and Mr. Walsh, S.J., and its officers — Phillip E. Willet, presi- dent; John Moriarty, vice-president; and George MacDonald, secretary. Today the majority of its members are everywhere in the armed forces doing a job of which we are proud. It is our hope that in the not too distant future peace will reign once more. Then the Marquette Debating So- ciety will arise from its slumber and go forth carrying on the brilliant work it has thus far so ably advanced. Jlr|?W D R A M A T I C s Bertolli. O ' Donnell. Murphy.

Despite the shortages and difficulties of the past three years, the Dramatic Society suc- ceeded not only in adhering to its schedule, but also in widening the scope of its presenta- tions. Its last production, the comedy, Room Service , was enthusiastically received at Army camps, Naval stations, the Chelsea and Marine hospitals, and the Wilbur theatre in Boston. Thus did the Class of Forty-four wind up its dramatic career, which began in- auspiciously back in September 1940. It was then that the Forty-Fourites had their first glimpse of Father Bonn and underwent the torture of a dramatic tryout. Pantomime a lad with a pail of milk in each hand, cross- ing a brook on stepping stones. Sit down on that chair without giving yourself a bustle effect. And all the while, the production staff volunteers grinned complacently, safe from all such exhibitionism. Long and arduous rehearsals for King Richard II resulted in smooth performances, with praise for Joe O ' Donnell, John O ' Grady, and Bill Philbrick, forty-fourites. Profes- sional commendation was extended to the staging and execution of the play, with credit going to Frank Sidlauskas, Steve Stavro, and Walter Collins of the production staff. February found the dramatic group pro- ducing Father Malachy ' s Miracle , a light comedy. The play was unusually successful and featured Roger Baker as the benevolent Father Malachy, John McNaught as the fiery Bishop Gillespie, Joe O ' Donnell in an excel- lent interpretation of Canon Geoghegan, and Bill Dunn, Bill Philbrick, and Paul Murphy in assistant characterizations. In the Spring, the Society carried out its custom of presenting, triennially, a Greek play in the original Greek. The production staff scored again, constructing under forced draft an entire stage and setting with an artfully concealed elevator by which the goddesses might seem to arise above the gates. The male lead was shared by Ed Myers and Jack Mc- Naught. More or less prominent among the females were Bill Philbrick, Gene Bertolli, John McNamara, and Paul Murphy. Early in Sophomore year, rehearsals for King Lear were inaugurated. The crowds at Jordan Hall on December fifth and sixth proclaimed the triumph of this vehicle. Boston critics lauded Paul Good, Charlie Rogers, John McNaught, and particularly Bill Dunn for his convincing portrayal of Regan, the female lead. Special notice was given to the elaborate robes, gowns, and uniforms, which were made by the Society ' s own costumer and first lady of the Theatre, Mary Curtin. The production staff also came into its own with this play. Under the capable direction of Frank Sidlauskas and Steve Stavro, the boys had sweated night after night at the workshop, constructing scores of functional platforms, THE PRODUCTION STAFF Front: Steve Stavro, Technical Director; Frank Sidlauskas, Production Manager; Walter Collins, Stage Manager.

Their labor resulted in a series of striking settings which were highly praised. Came February, and a radical and unex- pected departure from Society precedent. On the seventy-fifth anniversary of its founding, the Dramatic Society presented a burlesque version of Uncle Tom ' s Cabin . May it ever be remembered with tears and laughter! For three days and three nights New England Mutual Hall rocked with the howls, guffaws, hissings and hurrahs of side-sore audiences. December 1942 saw the forty-fourites stag- ing their last Shakespearean play, Corio- lanus . Against a startling and realistic back- ground of the Walls of Corioles, the Roman Forum, and a burning city, Bill Philbrick, as old Menenius, vied with Frank McCarthy, as Sucinius the tribune, while Bill Dunn and Joe Delaney, as Volscius, gave their all against the Romans, and Gene Bertolli added comic relief in the guise of a pot-bellied citizen. Last but not least, was the official presenta- tion of Room Service in March. As enjoy- able for the actors as it was for the audiences, it played a three night stand at the New Eng- land Mutual Hall. Gordon Miller, the frantic producer, was played by Bill Philbrick. Harry Binion, the deadpan director, was portrayed by Bill Dunn, Gene Bertolli took the part of Simon Jenks, the irascible backer, while John O ' Grady scratched his head as the perplexed finance-collector. A new and laugh-provoking member appeared in the person of Joe Dela- ney, who convulsed audiences as Gregory (Abe) Wagner, the apoplectic hotel manager. Steve Stavro and Walter Collins cleverly staged and executed the production. When, a short time later, the cast and crew were asked to take the show on tour, they responded one hundred per cent, eager to do their part in entertaining our boys . W. A. P. THE B. C.

The magazine was founded as a publica- tion of the Greek Academy and at this time it was produced in pamphlet form. It was then called the To Loyeiov, a title which evidenced the nature of the periodical. In 1941, the Dean realizing the similarity of the work of the Latin and Greek Academies decided to merge them into one unit called the Classical Academy. Under this associa- tion, the magazine was called by its present name, the Humanities. From then on, the policy of the publication changed from a mere consideration of the Greek master- pieces to a concentration upon all classical literature and during the past two years the society has been very active in the Humanis- tic movement. The recent development of the Humanities under the direction of the Rev. 0. A. Rein- halter, S.J., has been nothing short of amaz- ing. It has advanced from mere recognition by the student body to national importance. The various higher universities such as Notre Dame and Harvard have given it a prominent position on their library displays. Its purpose has been mainly to foster the humanities and to restore the ancient classical masterpieces to the modern world by way of the new light of the Christian Faith. Since the advent of war, its responsibilities in this field have become increasingly important and the various writers of the Humanities have not been lax in condemning the total turn of wartime students to the scientific field. On the contrary, however, they have battled to keep alive the study of the true arts and they have certainly practiced what they preached. Under the capable leadership of its chief editor John Devlin and the other members of the staff, it is our firm hope that this good work shall continue in the future. By their works you shall know them. Certainly, the works of the Humanities give evidence of the fact that we have here at Boston College men who foster true culture and the true arts. Under the capable direction of Edu- ardo Azuola, the Spanish Academy has taken its place among the more active organizations at Boston College. Though hard-hit by the loss of many of its out- standing members to the Armed Forces this year, the Academy inaugurated a plan which stood them in good stead. By delegating certain members to read arti- cles and to carry on discussions before the group, they have fostered a deeper understanding of the culture and the his- tory of our South American neighbors. During the past year the Academy with the generous assistance of Father Duni- gan made recordings of their lectures on Spanish Current Affairs. When the recordings were replayed to the students, Doctor Azuola gave some helpful advice on pronunciation. In this way, members of the Academy were able to improve their mastery of Spanish. Due to the efforts of Doctor Azuola, its members have acquired a thorough knowledge of Latin American customs and culture. And in keeping with this practice of former years, many distinguished speakers have made their appearance before the Acad- emy, among them Doctor DeAragon of Havana University and Professor Jose Onate of Boston University. The popularity and interest which the Acad- emy has cultivated among the students of the College is ample justification of its merit. It has carried the torch of learning beyond the classroom knowledge of Spanish, and has enabled its members to obtain first hand, the benefits offered by the study of the Language. The contribution of the Senior class to the Academy has been a choice one. Men like Charles Buckley, Thomas Comer, and the Regan brothers, Warren and Stanley, have s p A N I S H A C A D E M Y Hazlett, Comer, O ' Neil. Buckley. upheld the tradition of the society and have constantly striven for its deserved recognition. By the emulation of their ideals and princi- ples, the Spanish Academy will continue to thrive as a prominent activity at Boston Col- lege in the years to come. Among the outstanding members of the Club who were activated with the Reserves of the Class of 1944 were Bob O ' Leary, Dean ' s list Spanish major from Milton; Tom Comer, wrestling enthusiast from Dorchester; Stanley and Warren Regan of Somerville; and Jim Dunphy of Randolph. Bob O ' Leary is pres- ently located at Dennison College, studying meteorology with the Army. While the re- mainder of the above are undergoing boot training at Parris Island in preparation for their Marine Officers ' Training course at Quantico, Virginia. p H Y S I c s s E M I N A R Gavan, Toomey, Bousquet, Sullivan, Murphy.

The demands placed upon collegiate edu- cation in wartime are probably felt more sharply in the field of physics than in any other department at Boston College. Due to these increased demands upon both the fac- ulty and student physicists, the normal opera- tion of any such organization as the Physics Seminar has been greatly curtailed. The place of the seminar in an accelerated war program is a very important one. As a result of the needs of the armed forces and industry for more and more trained scientific personnel, the science major finds himself encountered with an increasing number of theoretical and applied subjects in which he is expected to be well versed and also with a decreasing amount of time in which to attain this proficiency. Under such a system there is a decided tendency for the students ' edu- cation to become merely a training process. It is in the negation of this tendency that the Physics Seminar finds its most important purpose. Here the student is offered an op- portunity for the study and discussion with his fellows of the more cultural aspects of his science and the broad field of modern applications of physical principles in the fields of engineering and allied sciences. Meetings of the Seminar were held during the past year on a monthly basis with the active participation of Junior and Senior Physics majors and the entire Physics fac- ulty. A few of the topics discussed in these meetings included papers on the problems of friction in the field of applied mechanics, the question of the wave and corpuscular theo- ries of the nature of light, several studies in the field of ordnance as related to the prob- lems of Exterior Ballistic s and investigations in Radio and electronics. p R E M E D S E M I N A R Rathbun, O ' Donnell, Kavanagh, Flynn, Laugblin.

Remaining active, despite a much-reduced membership due to the activating of the vari- ous classes of the reserves, the Boston College Pre-Medical Seminar has recently concluded a highly successful season. Moderator of the Seminar, which is open only to Senior pre- medical students, is Father Francis J. Dore, S.J., head of the Department of Biology. Father Dore, holder of degrees of Doctor of Medicine and Doctor of Philosophy, pos- sesses an excellent medical background, hav- ing been at one time Dean of the Fordham University School of Medicine. His unique status as both priest and physician admirably fits him to answer the medico-moral problems raised at Seminar meetings. Officers appointed to preside over the weekly gatherings of the organization includ- ed William Christie, chairman; James Nolan, vice-chairman; Philip Wessling, secretary; and Charles Cavanaugh, treasurer. The ini- tial meeting of the Seminar was addressed by Paul C. McCann and Eugene LaForet, who spoke on Sterilization. Subsequent assem- blies heard William Christie, Leo Cotter, John Duggan, Edward Acton, Paul Murphy, and James Nolan, who likewise discoursed on topics of importance in the field of medi- cal ethics. The purpose of the Pre-medical Seminar is to develop a better understanding of various phases of medical education and practice, and to furnish opportunity for discussion of modern medico-moral subjects. It also serves as a common bond of union for the senior pre-medical students, who are prevented by a strenuous class and laboratory schedule from participating in many of the other extra-cur- ricular activities of the college.

The Management Club was founded as re- cently as 1942; and in spite of its short life, it has, in its two years of existence accom- plished much in acquainting its members with the many problems facing the business man of today. Designed to stimulate interest in business affairs, it has succeeded not only in awaken- ing such interest, but in many cases, has brought the student into direct contact with problems in war production, post-war plan- ning, and, bound up with these, the all im- portant questions of personnel, purchasing, inspection and methods of production control. Although the club is entirely governed by the students themselves, under the direction of its preside nt, Gerard Finnerty, Mr. Byrnes, honorary member and advisor, is to be given a great deal of credit for the club ' s success. It was through Mr. Byrnes, cooperating with the officers of the club, that speakers from the world of business, and motion pictures were obtained to become the highlights of each meeting. Usually after the screening of pictures dealing with management and management problems, with war production which became, quite naturally, the theme of the year, a gen- eral discussion followed in which all club members participated. During the year, men of high rank in the great industries of a modern nation at war were invited to speak and they presented to the student a first hand view of new problems and of newly discovered methods of produc- tion confronting industry today.

The Marketing Club, which has the distinc- tion of being the first business club to be or- ganized at Boston College, enjoyed a most successful season pursuing its dual purpose of field study and advertising analysis. The officers for the current year include Gerard L. Kirby, president; Dennis Donahue, vice- president; Joseph Gannon, treasurer; Charles Galligan, secretary; and Arthur Tisdale, ser- geant-at-arms. Among the activities that were enjoyed by the members are included tours of several advertising agencies and those that specialize in particular media, such as newspaper, mag- azine and direct mail advertisements. Through the courtesy of one of the country ' s leading wholesale grocers the club was able to study the progress of an advertising survey and campaign which has been recently conducted in greater Boston. By this study the members of the Marketing Club were able to glean a wealth of practical knowledge and applied it to their own campaign which dealt with a fictitious grocery concern. A tour of one of Boston ' s leading radio stations was made by the club members. There they were shown the technique of present-day radio advertising. This included continuity writing, rehearsal and actual broadcast. Then they were shown the intricacies of selling and scheduling radio time. Many of the members participated in a national slogan contest for practical application of class study. Due to the present crisis it has been found expedient to suspend most of the trips and limit the club ' s activities to discussion groups. The Marketing Club proudly displays its ser- vice flag containing seventeen stars, none of which we hope will ever be gold. It is the hope of the officers and members of the club that the forthcoming marketing majors will uphold the traditions and customs of the club and will receive as much enjoy- ment from it as have the present members. jirrag JIFpf R A D I O C L U B First Row: Dickensheid, Eichorn, Annacone, Elliot, Coleman, Connor.

C. in the fall of ' 40, the Radio Club was one of the most active of all the groups on the college. Under the guid- ance of Father Tobin and the supervision of Mr. Gager, the members studied radio theory, radio practice, and code. Veteran members, such as Jim Sullivan and Ed Weiss, instructed the newer members in the theory of radio, and directed them in the building of experimental radio sets. They also held code sessions, in an attempt to work the students up to a speed of 13 words per minute, the qualifying code speed for an amateur license. Several mem- bers, notably our own Tom Fitzgerald, won ham ratings and enlivened the activities of the club. In those days the official College radio station, W-1PR was still functioning. The members heard signals from many distant stations and communicated with several of them. Among the call cards tacked on the wall were such stations as the Graf Zeppelin. The club continued very actively in this manner until December 9, 1941. The Federal Com- munications Commission as a safeguard against unlicensed sending, ordered that the station ' s coils be removed and the doors locked after we went to war. However, a nucleus of the club reformed in a Morse Code apd Blinker class under Mr. Bezuzska, S.J. When most of this group was graduated in the spring of 1942, a new class with double the original number was organ- ized under the direction of Mr. Donahue, S.J. This course proved very popular with Naval Reservists, who later found the training in- valuable in Midshipman ' s school. A knowl- edge of this subject is one of the best advan- tages a man can bring with him to the armed services. The Navy requires ability to send and receive signals and code at 13 words per minute upon graduation from Midshipman ' s school. However, no time is allotted the sea- man in which to study or practice these sub- jects; they must be picked up in spare time. So it is evident that ability in this field pro- vides reservists with a large handicap over their classmates. With this thought in mind, another Blinker, Code and Signal class was opened last summer. A very large group re- ported to the practice sessions under forty- fourman Angie Annacone. The use of two Fleron Signalers was obtained, and they greatly facilitated progress in learning visual and audible Morse. M U S I c c L u B Miethe, Bertolli, Flynn, Manning.

The Music Club was no exception. The strain and lack of time produced by overtaxed aca- demic schedules together with the large num- ber of those who left their Alma Mater to enter the Armed Forces of our country caused the membership and attendance in the various branches of the Musical Society to drop off at a dangerous rate. The present Seniors can recall that when they entered as Freshmen the Music Clubs were at their height and continued so through the next season. One of the highlights was a trip by the Glee Club to St. Joseph ' s College, Hartford, and a joint concert with the girls ' glee club there. Besides numerous appear- ances at various social functions, the Glee Club marked each season with concerts at Emmanuel, Regis, and Weston Colleges. These affairs were always sources of pleasure both to the Glee Club members and to their audi- ences, while the Annual Christmas Concert here at the Heights was a landmark of each season. Only six members remain for Graduation: Martin Coleman, Charles Manning, John Devlin, Eugene Bertolli, Robert Miethe, and Newell Flynn. Devlin and Bertolli will be remembered for their interpretations of Gil- bert and Sullivan, while Flynn did vocal solo work for the Glee Club, and was the College organist. Pianist Manning composed the Boston College Victory March which has become a landmark in the College ' s musical history. A drop in attendance, though not in quality was noted in the 1942-43 season. The orches- tra, band, and glee club were finally forced to disband for the duration; this step was par- ticularly engendered by the resignation of Theodore Marier. The musical director left to join the research staff of General Electric. And so, on the evening of January twenty- first of this year, a banquet and dance in the Liggett Estate marked the temporary dissolu- tion of one of the major College aativjtles. J5S Donald J.

Because of the war this year ' s publication was not announced until the beginning of second semester. Plans were as yet in the speculative stage when the staff, particularly the editorial board, was suddenly depleted. Leonard Collins, the Busi- ness Manager, left to take up a scholarship at Catholic University Law School ; shortly after- wards, the Managing Editor, Charles Man- ning, was called by the Navy to Midshipman ' s School at Notre Dame. Among those also departing were several feature writers. In fact, but a fraction of the original staff re- mained. A rapid rearrangement was accom- plished ; Don White was named Business Man- ager, and Steve Stavro took over as Managing Editor. At this time all Senior pictures had been completed, due to the almost 100% coopera- tion of 150 students who had completed sit- tings in the record time of ten days. This was a real milestone passed ; but the fun and games were only beginning. It seems there were a few matters of feature pictures to be found or arrange for, cuts to be made, old engrav- ings to be dug up, advertisers and patrons to be contacted, subscriptions to be collected, art-work and layout to be arranged, and a small matter of copy to be written. The assign- ment of these was most fortuitous. Don White put his bookkeeping into fairly accurate prac- tice, chasing subscribers. Gerry Callahan burned up a few dozen gas coupons inquiring after advertisers. Paul Dunn pounded out copy from a mess of hieroglyphics, aided and abetted by a compatriot from the Library Building. Then there was a jack-of -all-trades and general handyman by the name of Oates, who wrote, typed, chauffered, and tried to argue Steve and Jim out of a few radical ideas on set-up, etc. But beyond any doubt the fact that there is any Sub Turri is due to the per- sistent efforts of two men.

THE RALLY WHERE SONGS WERE SUNG WITH SPIRIT WHEN LEAHY REIGNED SUPREME VARSITY FOOTBALL COACHES BRUMBAUGH Not the least among the traditions of Boston College is her athletic prowess, especially foot- ball. If the war has changed the character and the schedule of this tradition, it has not obliterated our zest for the sport and the fighting spirit which has ever characterized the athletes of Boston Col- lege. Despite the pessimism of the Boston Press and the manpower demands of the armed services, the College has succeeded in fielding a team this year. Some have termed it informal ; but the scores it has amassed to date would argue against such a title. Under the tutelage of head coach Moody Sarno, B.C. has thus far thrice taken the field at Fenway and has been three times successful. In these en- counters the Eagles have clawed Camp Hingham, Brooklyn College, and Rome Air Drome to the tunes 42-6, 37-6, 64-0. In the opening game against the Army boys of Camp Hingham, the B.C. line was studded with Freshmen for the first time since the last war, and read as follows: left end, Frosh Don Shea, 155 lbs.; left tackle, Frosh William McCarthy, 190 lbs; left guard, Senior Wally Fitzgerald, 180 lbs.; center, Frosh George Donelan, 195 lbs.; right guard, Soph Pete Baleyko, 200 lbs.; right tackle, Soph Bill McCarthy, 193 lbs; right end, Senior Dave Hoar, 160 lbs; in the backfield, at quarter- back, Captain Eddie Doherty; at fullback, Bill Morro; at left half, Jim Cahill; and at right half, Dave Aznavourain. This game was a memorial to Major Frank Cavanaugh, former coach at Boston College, and during the half Mrs. Cavanaugh and Dean Mul- cahy were presented with plaques in honor of the Major by actor Pat O ' Brien, who was in Boston for the World Premiere of The Iron Major . The outstanding features of the game proved to be the deft ball handling of quarterback Ed Doherty, the quick opening play of halfback Jim Cahill, and the pass snagging of Senior Dave Hoar. The following two games likewise proved run- aways for the youthful executors of the Sarno T . But the big test of the season is set for Novem- ber 20th when B.C. will renew its arch grid rivalry with the Crimson of Harvard in the Stadium at 2:30. As this book goes to press, both teams are polishing up for this contest to which they pointed all season. All indications point to a record crowd for the renewal of this classic. Hold the presses! The 45,000 who witnessed the Stadium encounter of Saturday last shout that the storv is worth recording. Seats were sold at the price of a good mov ie, fifty cents. Economical New Englanders and sports minded Bostonians jammed the giant Colosseum on the banks of the Charles for what was termed an informal re- newal of an intercollegiate rivalry which had thrived on memories and verbiage since the last B.C. -Harvard physical competition in 1919. Saturday ' s game and Saturday ' s gathering was anything but informal. The cold floor of the Colos- seum bore the battle scars of one of the most breathtaking, hard fought, and crisp clean battles in its long saga of gridiron tradition. The war- time pre-game and between the halves Navy drill and music added the battle color which character- ized the B.C. -Harvard games of the First World War. Boston College won the toss as Eddie Doherty outguessed Captain Perkins of Harvard. Boston College received, and the game was under way. Both teams were somewhat jittery as they tested the anti T defenses and the offensive chicanery of the opposition. The short barks of the perfectly acoustical am- plifying system atop the Stadium ' s South end told the story of the first half: Perkins, by Doherty; Perkins by Hoar and Fitzgerald; Doherty by Per- kins and Donovan. Shortly after the crowd had settled in their seats for the second half, seeming tragedy struck JOHN P. CURLEY Graduate Director of Athletics IK: ;: : ■■■ First Row — Sweeney, McGlynn, Patten, Souffle, Doherty, Tomaszewski, Shea, Panaro, Cataldo.

Fourth Row — McCoy , McCarthy, Donelan, Gould, Peters, McCarthy, Berrigan, Boleyko. REV. MAURICE DULLEA, S.J. Director of Athletics the B.C. squad as their captain and field general Ed Doherty was assisted to the sidelines by our trainers. But the battle had only begun; and 140 pound Kid McCoy filled the quarterback slot with elephant courage and cocky calmness. Late in the third period he maneuvered the Eagles, with the aid of quarterback sneaks and Aznavourain cross bucks, to the Harvard seven, only to lose the ball testing the Crimson pass defense. The Eagles dominated the third period, keeping the ball deep in Harvard territory. After a fourth period ex- change of kicks, Captain Doherty returned to the field and in four plays moved the ball from the Harvard 30 to the 10 yard line. Then shoveling the ball out to Morro on a delayed lateral, he sent Bill around left end for the score. What a moment! Thousands of vocal chords were roared raw; and all were not larynxed in the East (B.C.) stands. B.C. 6, Harvard 0. We kicked off to the Crimson and as their march got under way Captain Doherty ' s ferocious tackling rendered him incapable of continuing play. The entire stadium paid him fitting tribute as he limped to the bench in tears. With five minutes remaining Harvard knocked boldly at the B.C. goal. First down and four to go on the Boston four. Perkins lost a yard on a long sweep. Perkins hit tackle for two, putting the ball on the B.C. three. Per- ORANGE BOWL SQUAD kins was stopped on the two. Then with the grace of God and the support of the whole Har- vard team, Perkins drove into the left side and just inched the ball across the final stripe. They scored, but just scored. Donovan missed the point and the score remained 6-6. Never satisfied with a tie the Maroon fought against time; and as the final whistle blew, were again on the Harvard 15. For the spirit of good will they and Mr. Curley engendered in the Stadium tussle, this squad may truthfully be credited with doing more in New England for the rebirth of broken relations than any of our powerful Southern Bowl elevens. The Alumni of Boston College and her sub- way friends have every right to be proud of this year ' s team. Many of them were playing Varsity football for the first time, others were second string on their high school teams; but Coach Sarno was able to transform their willingness to work and their refusal to be beaten into a team whose record is comparable to any Eagle squad of the past. Among last year ' s grid men who have swapped their maroon jerseys for uniforms of Navy blue were co-Captains Mike Holovak and Fred Nau- metz who were among the greatest ball players in the history of the College. Mike along with the stellar end, Don Currivan, was unanimously se- DENNY SCANS THE SQUAD § B. C. 37, B. U. 0, AS MIKE TERRIFIES TERRIERS THE T OPENS AND KILLELEA GOES lected by the Associated Press Ail-American Board. Fearless Fred Naumetz who was handi- capped by a spinal operation just prior to the season ' s opener, along with Gil Bouley and Rocco Canale was likewise honored by the Dream Team pickers. Others among the February graduates whose names will be inscribed in the gridiron annals of B.C. are versatile Mickey Connelly, who played a leading role in the Sugar Bowl; Wally Boudreau, the capable director of the Junior Com- mandos; Al Fiorentino and Joe Repko, who were always in there battling to win; Carl Lucas, who highlighted his four years at Chestnut Hill with his courageous performance in the Orange Bowl ; Bill Commane, the hard hitting baseball player; and Ed Lambert, who worked so hard that the Eagle might stay aloft. And so we take off our hats to these men and hope and pray that they will be very successful with Uncle Sam ' s forces. Things began to roll again between March and July 1943 when all the Army Reservists and Navy Underclassmen were called to active duty. Bob Mangene, a fiery speed demon from Maiden; John Killelea, a trackman and a great pigskin toter; Ed Burns, a boy who could really belt the line; Frank Sposato who worked so hard that B.C. might win; Ed Fiorentino who played such a won- derful game at the end post; Moe Chisholm, a small fellow but full of dynamite; all left in the Navy contingent. Boys who donned the khaki of Uncle Sam were: Captain-elect Gilbert Bouley, a boy with a wonderful personality and one of the outstanding tackles of the year; Pat Darone, John Furey, Bill Boyce, Vic Palledino, Bernie Lanoue, Chet Sipka, Manny Zissis, John Kissell, Mario Gianelli, Larry Bouley, Joe Tobin, Pete Przekop, John Burke and Vito Stasunas, all of whom con- tributed to the success of the Eagles by learning in a short time a style of play featuring deft fak- ing and tricky ball-handling. But let us turn back the pages of football annals to the year 1942. If you happened to wander be- yond the four towering buildings of Boston Col- lege during the latter part of August 1942, you would find ensconced in a natural hollow of the football stadium 67 men clad in shorts and T shirts. Day by day these men labored under the careful guidance of head coach Dennis Myers, backfield coach Carl Brumbaugh, end coach Harry Marr and line coach Amerino Sarno. And as the days slowly rolled by, one could notice the strik- ing force, the speed of attack and versatility of the T formation slowly taking form. And by the time the first game rolled around, with the Mountaineers of West Virginia, Boston College had an eleven which could hold its own against any other outfit in the country. They had learned a formation that could explode at any time and from any position on the field, whether it be a quick thrust off-tackle or an end sweep following a clever lateral or a long forward pass. And so it was that the Heightsmen overpowered the light but experienced Mountaineers by a comfortable 33-0 margin. The vengeful Eagles made amends for their two previous setbacks to the Clemson Tigers by con- quering the Crafty Carolinans 14-7 in a valiant uphill fight. The Cotton Bowl opponent of the 1939 Eagles opened the festivities by unfolding a tricky aerial attack. Butler paced the Southerners to a scoring drive with his sharp bullets out on the flat, and the diminutive Mr. Butler culminated the drive by slicing off tackle from the four to go over standing up. The Eagles led by Holovak dominated the play the remainder of the first half; but although they threatened on many occasions, the first half concluded with Clemson still clinging to a 7-0 lead. Halfway through the third quarter the Clemson passing attack began to click again. When the outlook was very dreary for the Myers- men Mickey Connolly leaped high into the air and stole one of Butler ' s heaves and outran a half- dozen defenders some 85 yards for the tally which put Les Eagles back in the ball game. Connolly- evened the count by adding the extra point. This sparked the Maroon legions to go on and gain the verdict, with Holovak putting over the clincher five minutes before t he final gun. The Clemson running attack was no match for the hard-running Eagle frontier. In fact, the statistics disclosed that the Tigers ' ground offense wound up with a 26 yard deficit. The North Carolina Pre-Flight powerhouse di- rected by former Fordham mentor Jim Crowley, and captained by ex-Eagles Gene Goodreault and Joe Zabilski, were nipped by an aggressive Eagle eleven 7-6 in one of the hardest fought tussles of the year. The blocking and tackling was terrific with both sides giving and taking their share. The Heightsmen scored midway on a neatly executed pass from Connolly to Currivan. Don made a re- RETIRING CO-CAPTS. PUT GIL IN CHARGE OF LAMBERT TROPHY CURRIVAN DOWN BUT OVER. B. C. 12, H. C. — ONE KICK THAT BOOMERANGED markable circus catch on the play, with opponents draped all over him. Mickey Connolly split the uprights for the all-important point which proved to be the margin of victory. The Flyers came close to scoring in the third period, when Eshmont rifled a short toss to Bill Krywicki, who was really going away until Don Currivan appeared on the scene to nail him from behind. The Crowleymen were rewarded with a T.D. for their crashing play. In the final quarter they blocked Eddie Burns ' kick, and recovered the crazily bouncing pigskin in the end zone. The tension was terrific as the Cloudbusters lined up to attempt the conversion. The Maroon linemen, however, surged through and hurried Eshmont ' s try — the ball spun off the side of his shoe wide of the goal posts. Don Currivan was easily the hero of this encounter, with his brilliant touchdown catch and his sensational ex- hibition. In the absence of the injured Ed Doherty, Wally Boudreau played sixty minutes of inspiring football, as did Furbush, Holovak, Canale, Nau- metz and Bouley. The Eagles by this thrill-packed triumph won the distinction of being the first col- legiate eleven to defeat a Pre-Flight School, whose teams were comprised of ex-collegiate greats and many luminaries from the professional ranks. The men of Myers made it four in a row when they downed a scrappy Wake Forest aggregation 27-0. Mickey Connolly was the big gun in this tussle with his accurate and startling aerials. Georgetown was the next victim for the hungry- Eagles who literally exploded and ran up a total of seven touchdowns to gain a decisive 47 to victory. The men of Myers struck fast and fre- quently with Ed Doherty commencing the hostili- ties by returning the opening kickoff 85 yards to the Hoya 12. The Eagles were unable to gain on three tries, so Mickey booted a field goal. The remainder of that warm October afternoon was marked by an array of long passes, Mangene scat- back thrusts, and Holovak power-drives, which buried the Hoy as under an avalanche of touch- downs. The second half was featured with a bit of hipper-dipper which saw 230 pound tackle Yo Yo Gianelli pulling out of the line to take a lateral from Ed and go for eleven yards. Despite the fact that officials called back four Boston College touchdowns, B.C. succeeded in trim- ming the Temple Owls by 28 to 0, while warming up for the vital Fordham contest. Against the Fordham Rams the Eagles displayed a crushing and overwhelming offense which anni- hilated the New Yorkers by the lopsided score of 56 to 6. This startling triumph raised the Eagles to the top team of the Nation and gave the Chestnut Hill group the recognition they so well deserved. The once uncertain aerial attack blossomed forth in all its magnificence, and the fleet-footed backs darted through wide gaps to completely outclass the bewildered Ram defenders. The first period saw the Eagles immediately in a rut when they fumbled on their own 30. After battling out of this predicament the Maroon ma- chine was held scoreless until Gil Bouley blocked Cherverko ' s punt, which was recovered in the New Yorkers ' end zone by Filipowicz for an auto- matic safety. The Eagles tallied thrice in the second stanza to set the figures at 20 to at half time. The scoring was done firstly on a heave from Connolly to Currivan, who travelled all the way behind the excellent down-field blocking of Furbush, Darone and Bouley. Two other tallies by Mangene and Holovak followed in rapid succession. In the third quarter agile Ed Doherty sneaked through the line and twisted and turned 34 yards to pay dirt before the fracas was turned over to the Junior Commandos. Wally Boudreau and his hustling contingent wasted no time in breaking into the scoring column. On the very first play, Bill Boyce hurled to Killelea for a t.d. In the final stanza the Boudreau clan collected two more tallies. Commane and Killelea broke through for large gains on this 60 yard march before Bill charged over. The final score came as Lanoue shot through tackle after Boudreau had raced back a Fordham punt 70 yards. The B.C. linemen had a field day for themselves with their bone-crushing tackles. Because of their continual rushing, the Rams could not unleash their vaunted aerial game which featured Steve Filipowicz. The Eagles made periodical flights to the B.U. end zone and amassed a 37 to victory despite a driving rain and ankle deep mud. The Holmer coached eleven made a vain but courageous at- tempt to overthrow the high powered Eagles, but were no match for the superior Heightsmen. On November 28, the purple crested Crusaders descended from the Worcester hills, and before a sell-out throng of 41,000, turned in the year ' s big- gest upset by humiliating the Myersmen 55 to 12. Holy Cross assumed the initiative and crowded B.C. into a corner. She never let them out long enough to do any damage. Everything that Holy Cross attempted worked perfectly; while in direct antithesis the Eagles could not do anything. Bezemes, Grigas, and Sullivan really played wonderful football for the Cross. And there is only one thing to say about this game, and that is that the Cross had a field day and B.C. just wasn ' t there to meet their attack. And now the time has come to close the 1942 season, which was full of excitement, joy and sorrow. One of our greatest sorrows was the loss of Larry Kenney, a grand man and a pal to every- one. We miss you Larry! And many thanks to Frank Jones who kept the boys in one piece, and to the Doctors, who gave our Eagles the best of care. Many thanks also to Mr. Curley, our gradu- ate manager, to Dan Collins for his unfailing work for the team. In closing a sincere tribute should be paid to our own Father Dullea, S.J., who as Athletic Director was in a greater degree respon- sible for the success of our 1942 season than any other one individual. n i V Jt - 1 ' ' •■ BOWLING TO GLORY BOWLING New Orleans or bust was the slogan of the student body after the 1940-41 football team accepted the bid to play in New Orleans, the home of the Sugar Bowl. In everything from a ' 28 Buick to a ' 41 Packard the rabid rooters journeyed over the highways and byways to the city renowned for that great festival, the Mardi Gras. A great Boston College team, with Charlie O ' Rourke at the reins, really had quite a day by inflicting a hysterical and historical 19-13 victory on the University of Tennessee before a crowd of 73,000. his best to stay on his feet; and the Eagles were the newly crowned Champions of the nation. ORANGE BOWL As the shadows of football began to fade at University Heights, in the year 1942, Boston College received an invitation to play in the Orange Bowl against the Uni- versity of Alabama. Due to the war situation the O.D.T. allowed no travel of auto caravans to the Sunny South, but a gallant group of New England Servicemen sta- tioned in the South spread the praises of the Eagles. A VOLUNTEER FOR PUNISHMENT AND PAY DIRT Twice Chuckin ' Charlie was the goat . His fumble in the first few minutes set up the first score for the Vols. Again in the third quarter Charlie was called for a pass interference penalty, and Tennessee again had the jump. Hopes began to fade as the tired and exhausted Boston College team battled to no avail. But the tempered steel of Champions does not fail and the Eagles of the Cod State bounced back to plow the Vols into the green turf of that spacious Sugar Bowl. When the Eagles made their appearance on the field at the half-way mark they were behind by a score of 7-0. But with Mickey Connolly as the spark the score was evened up. Tennessee roared back and made it 13-7. The Eagles were down, but far from out: Old Ironsides Joe Zabilski was the first man to block a Tennessee punt in seven years, and again the score was equalized, 13-13. Then it happened. The Vols missed a field goal. B.C. had the ball on its own 20. O ' Rourke faded back twice and missed twice. Again Toczylowski called on Chuckin ' Charlie and the Maiden flash came through and put the Eagles on the Vols 24. The Vols were desperate. Their defenses were opened to stop the passing attack. Toz noticed this and called for a fake pass and run through a quick-opening hole at the left tackle. Through the left side, he slithered by scrimmage, back to the right, by two tacklers, dodged another and he was over. It was 19-13; 73,000 people were on their feet; O ' Rourke, his back bared by the grasping hand of a Tennesse tackier, was doing The Eagles started clicking right at the beginning of the game, but due to injuries slowly faded at the half. Boston College lost that day to a superior team, a team that could send fresh reserves into the skirmish at any time. Although they were outscored they were not out- fought. But they put on such a courageous exhibition that they won thousands of new friends throughout the nation. nti ' m ' -mM ' nAxmmm JANUARY 1ST, 6 P. M. HOCKEY COACH JOHN TEMPLE When Coach John Temple took over the duties left by Coach John Kelly, who accept- ed a naval commission, the Eagles were faced with the task of defending their New England Collegiate Hockey League and the N.A.A.U. titles won in the previous winter. An abbre- viated Boston College schedule forced the forfeiting of the New England title, although they were undefeated in league competition. The cancellation of the N.A.A.U. tourney at Minneapolis, due to transportation difficulties, made the defense of this title impossible. The squad was typical of Boston college teams with an abundance of aggressiveness, competitive spirit, and finesse from experi- ence, practice, and coaching. Leading the team was Captain Wally Boudreau who has been ranked among the leading collegiate hockey players ever since coming to B.C. Skating on the front lines and matching him in ability were Puddo Murphy, Jim Edge- worth, Jake Cunniff, Ed Burns, Jack Harvey, Joe Kraatz, Nick Flynn, and Johnny Galla- gher. Holding down the defense positions were four men — Harry Crovo, Walter Fitz- gerald, Walt Brady, and Alex Skene — who in no small way were greatly responsible for the success of the squad. Too much credit cannot be given to Phil Carey and Bernie Burke for their ability and gameness in gu arding the nets. Managers Tom Meagher, Jim McSorley, and Ted Bernhardt made smooth the travels and details of the team. Princeton was unable to cope with the speed of the Eagles either here in Boston or in Princeton, New Jersey. Yale, at New Haven, would have proved a difficult obstacle except for the individual brilliance and su- perb teamwork of the Heightsmen. As usual, Northeastern offered two games that were both exciting and rough. Dartmouth came to Boston and caught the Eagles at the end of a three-week lapse in the schedule. The return game at Hanover, New Hampshire, was the best ever seen at the Dartmouth rink when the Big Green was forced into over- time. The clashes with Boston University lacked the excitement of other years and served only to sharpen the passing attack of the Maroon and Gold. Three practice games with Harvard speak well of capacity crowds in the Boston Garden in the very near future. The final game, a challenge match with the football team, provided laughs by the score. The outcome of the game is still being dis- puted.

Boston Univ. 3 Yale 2 Harvard Harvard Harvard B.C. Football Jack Ryder, veteran coach of track at Boston College. Coach of United States Olympic teams of the past, Jack has developed many outstanding runners and record- holders. Under his tutelage in recent years such out- standing men have come to the fore in the track -world as Gil Dodds, holder of the American Mile record and Herb McKenley, national champion at 440 yards. TRACK Boston College, a perennial leader in the realm of track, has managed to keep well up in the sport despite the difficult handicaps of a wartime speeded-up schedule and a very much abbreviated enrollment. Under the expert tutelage of popular Jack Ryder, whose teams have always been among the leaders, Captain Frank Harris, a four year veteran, Leo Monks, Jim Kelleher and Herb McKenley formed the mainstay of an aggregation which through hard work and much self sacrifice managed to bring much glory to the college. Probably the most outstanding achievement of the year occurred at Harvard Stadium in the early summer when the Jamaica Flash , Herb McKenley, flew over the 440 course to steal the show from Sweden ' s own Guilder Hagg, appearing on the same bill as his Amer- ican rival, Gil Dodds, another product of Jack Ryder ' s genius. In spite of the curtailment of athletics im- posed by wartime conditions, the past year has been quite an eventful one in the Eagle track- sters ' story. The one mile relay team made up of Frank Harris, Jim Kelleher, Tom Greehan, and Herb McKenley competed in the Milrose, B.A.A., K. of C, and IC4A indoor meets and gave a good account of themselves against stiff collegiate competition. The most spectac- ular individual performances were turned in by Herb McKenley, sprinter extraordinary, whose 47.7 second quarter mile at the Na- tionals in New York was the prize time of the year. In order that a proper evaluation of the many contributions to the track and field his- tory of Boston College by the class of ' 44 may be made, it is necessary to regress to our days Knowles of Springfield finishing first in the mile as B.C. plays host to the N.E.A.A.A. as underclassmen. This is necessitated by the fact that many of our most outstanding track- sters exchanged their spiked shoes and maroon and gold uniforms for the Army ' s khaki, the Navy ' s blue or the forest green of the Marine Corps, while their careers in collegiate com- petition were still on the upswing. Prominent in the ranks of the tracksters of 1944 in both Frosh and varsity competition were: hurdler Jim Kelleher, now in Marine Officer Candidate School; Lieutenant Angie Sisti, U.S.A.A.F., who was New England champion in the discus throw and shotput; sprinter Jack Hennesey, at present Pharma- cist ' s Mate, U.S.N. ; half miler, Lieutenant Bob Ross who is now flying over the blue Pacific in a Marine dive bomber rather than over the Alumni field cinders; Frank Sposato, also a Marine Officer Candidate, a consistent point scorer in the weight events; Tom Joyce, V-7 sailor, who scored many points in the mile and two mile events and turned in his maroon and gold track spangles for the purple of Holy Three cheers for Old Jawn Har- vard. Also at the New England Amateur Athletic Association meet at Alumni Field, Harvard crosses the bar. Cross along the Navy blue in the middle of Senior; Chuck Finnerty, United States Marine Corps, was among the members of the sprint- ers ' winners ' circles; Ed McCall now a mem- ber of the Army Medical Corps, who aided in the battle for points of the Frosh tracksters. In addition to these Eagles who are today fly- ing in grimmer skies, B. C. track history was made by such runners as Captain Frank Harris, one of the foremost middle distance runners of New England College circles, miler Tom Fitzgerald, and quarter miler and low hurdler Leo Monks. These latest members of Jack Ryder ' s long line of victorious track teams are now adding their names to the equally long list of Jack ' s heroes who are now kicking down the home stretch to their greatest victory. The Jamaica Flash, Herb McKenley, clinches the 440 and five points for Boston. BASEBALL COACH FRED MAGUIRE Coach Fred Maguire knows just how much the present world conflict has affected sports in collegiate circles. He saw a remarkably strong team open the season with a good show- ing in an exhibition game against the Boston Red Sox, in which Al Dickensheid and Bill Boyce won the attention of the sports world by their superb playing. He saw this same team, with Boyce on the mound, Chisholm or Byrne behind the plate, Saunders at third, Dickensheid at short, Killory at second. Lanoue at first, and outfielders Sorgi, Kin- neavy, Luizzo, and Ed Burns win four straight games. Then, envisioning one of his greatest seasons, he lost his star pitcher, Boyce, his classy first baseman, Bernie Lanoue, and catcher Bill Byrne to the gain- ful U. S. Army. Not bemoaning this loss, Coach Maguire tried to fill the infield gaps. The fact was, however, that this could not be done, and ten setbacks resulted. Boyce had hurled the four wins and the pitching burden then fell on Warren DeSaulniers, Ed Marshall, Leo Wilson, John Killilea, Marty Greeley and Ed Fiorentino while Dave Hoar, converted from third, did a great job at first. Al Dickensheid, who finished the season with a .353 average at the plate, was perhaps the outstanding man on the team defensively and offensively. Kinneavy with a .341 average and Lou Sorfi with .312 followed close behind. In the first official game of the season the Eagles slipped past Northeastern 5-4. Then they swooped on Boston University 18-1, the Terriers being spotted fifteen runs in the first inning when the Eagles batted twice around. The next encounter saw the same Terrier team garner five runs before Boyce was called up- on to stem their tide, B.C. collecting sixteen hits for eleven runs. In their last game for B.C., Boyce, Lanoue, and Byrne made two- thirds of the nine safeties off of the Lord Jeff twirler. Boyce allowing only three hits to defeat Amherst 7-3. Brown then feathered the undefeated Eagles 12-9, but not before Red Dickensheid had slugged out a four- bagger. Ex-Eagle Bill B oyce next invaded Alumni Field with a strong Fort Devens team who slugged their way to a 9-3 victory. With Al Dickensheid out with a bad arm, the Boston Coast Guard, boasting semi-pro and major league players on their roster, plucked the next feather to the tune of 21-1. Jim Ronayne looking good on first base for the Eagles. The New England champion Wild- cats of New Hampshire then clouted the Ma- roon and Gold 11-1, Lou Sorgi batting two for four. DeSaulniers pitched good ball against Northeastern, but poor support saw him on the short end of a 4-2 score. Brown next downed B.C. Mulvihill, Cuniff, O ' Brien, and O ' Donnell saw action in the next game, in which the Boston Coast Guard again won by the substantial score of 9-1. The Maguire- men then lost to the Holy Cross Crusaders 7-3 at Fitton Field, holding their own for six innings behind the pitching of outfielder Jack Kinneavy. After weaken ing in the sixth, Warren DeSaulniers came in to toe the mound only to see one run in each of the last three frames cross the platter. Buster Mills, catcher for the Crusaders, perhaps can ac- count for this defeat, collecting five hits for five times at bat. In the return game at Alumni field, Holy Cross ' O ' Connell blanked the faltering Eagles 11-0. In the season ' s finale, Bill Boyce faced his former team- mates and saw the final scoreboard read Fort Devens — 5; Boston College — 2. Warren De- Saulnier pitched a great game but the ex- perience of the Devens nine was too over- whelming a factor. Jack Kinneavy did his best to keep the Eagles in the running belting out three hits for four times at bat. Y A C H T C L U B Leonard. Patten, Boyle, Dunfey. Callahan, Sweeney. Kirby, Bane, McSorley.

Having been confronted with the various difficulties that accompany collegiate sports in the present war program, the Boston Col- lege Yacht Club, displaying the determina- tion and initiative that has brought our young- est athletic activity into prominence amongst collegiate circles, surmounted such obstacles; and with the advent of spring launched the 1943 season by playing host to other New England Colleges and Universities in the Ninth Annual New England Associate Mem- ber Regatta of the Intercollegiate Yacht Rac- ing Association on the Charles River Basin. Although bowing to our arch-rivals from Mt. St. James, the Bee Cee Mariners finished a comfortable third in a field of seven con- testants. Thoughts of recapturing dinghy honors were slowly waning in two subsequent meets before the summer recess because the Eagles held third and fourth positions re- spectively. However, on Saturday, May 15, while the setting sun was spreading its last rays on the beautiful Seekonk River in Providence, a brilliant Boston College fresh- man team outsailed all competition and brought home to our old Alma Mater her first I.C.Y.R.A. freshman championship. The credit for this victory can be directly attrib- uted to skipper Eddie Gallagher and crew Charlie Brennan who outsmarted and out- scored eight colleges by a margin of eight points. The majority of the development and suc- cess of the Yacht Club is due to the kind direction and capable leadership of Commo- dore Jim McSorley who has been an indis- pensable member of the organization. Other members of the senior class who have con- tributed their time and experience are Joseph Bane, vice-commodore, John Elliott, treas- urer, George Apps, Thomas Patten, John Gal- lagher, Richard Leonard, Gerald Callahan and Edward Boyle.

The Fencing Team, in the last few years, has arisen to acclaim among the College activ- ities. This year the swordsmen were led by their able and agile captain, John Delaney. Joseph Krebs served in the capacity of man- ager, while Ronald K. Dunfey and Walter McGlynn directed the organization ' s publicity. Last year, in a successful season, the B. C. duellists engaged at sabre point Brown Uni- versity at Providence, Norwich University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Boston University. This year, as yet the club ' s activities have of necessity been confined chiefly to practice and intra-society competi- tion. In their four years at Boston College several members of the class of Forty-Four have been standouts in this activity; Jack Delaney, Angie Annacone, and Dick Leonard. Foreseeing the wartime advantage of this training, other members of the Senior Class joined the fencing club late in their college life. It was a familiar, yet strange, sight to see Gene Bertolli and Cambridge ' s Charlie Buckley garbed in the attire of the man in the iron mask. With the departure of this year ' s captain, Jack Delaney, for Midshipman ' s School at the University of Notre Dame, his responsibilities were assumed by Stylus Editor and President- Elect of the Fulton, Ronald K. Dunfey. Another severe loss to the team ' s renown was the departure of Wally McGlynn to the con- fines of Worcester and Holy Cross, where their ardent tub-thumper will continue his naval studies. Among the undergraduate keystones in the team to depart was Joe Hill, now in the A.S.T.U. at Macon, Georgia. However, an extraordinarily large number of Freshmen and Army students have reported for practice, and hope of a successful future is well justified. SWEEP DOWN THE Equipment issued.

An extensive program of physical education was planned for B. C. ' s A.S.T.P. unit. Both Mr. Curley and our coaches took an active part in administering this program. Here time is truly of the essence. Later the same day, Mr. Holovak plays buck-buck for six points. PREINDUCTION CONDITIONING Fr. Mulcahy, S.J., makes the presen- tation of the first prize in the Decathlon which climaxed the spring conditioning Director of Physical Training, Mr. John Conroy. — A graduate of Harvard where he majored in Physical Education, Mr. Conroy has won national fame for his physical feats; and among his rewards for acts of heroism, he is one of the few civilians to treasure the Congressional Medal of Honor. In true classical tradition of the ancients, Jim Ronayne and Paul Burns make ready to heave the javelin. Ronayne out-tossed all competition in this event. Lie back and take it easy, boys.

HISTORY OF THE JUNIOR CLASS COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES In the 1942 Sub TURRI an astounding prophecy was made: In September, 1941, Boston College admitted her largest Freshman class; that class will be one of the smallest graduating classes in the history of the college. We of the Junior class can attest to the accuracy of the prophecy. We entered Boston College five hundred strong in September, 1941; we are now a mere thirty. It was in September, 1941, that the Business Col- lege moved to the palatial and more spacious Lig- gett Estate, gift of His Eminen ce William Cardinal O ' Connell, and a course in Electrical Engineering was offered to the new freshmen. Our first recollections of those days are the Orientation Week, the lively tag football games played when we wore our best clothes, the pleasures of being near the remains of the mighty Sugar Bowl eleven and the departure of Justin McGowan. Mc- Gowan was the first undergraduate of note to be selected for service and his farewell was one of great emotion. Father McGovern moved Justin and the audience to tears by his Go forth and stand up for your country, lad speech. We remember cheer- ing our team off to Tulane and cheering the beaten team when they returned. Yes, there were other games, rallies and dances that claim our attention, but there are too many to mention here. We remember the first retreat, the Freshman Ban- quet, highlighted by Teddy Williams ' narrations of a football film shown there. We remember how the Holy Cross game of that year changed from a losing cause into a winning one by the above-mentioned Mr. Williams ' brilliant execution of the naked reverse . We remember the campaigns preceding the fresh- man elections and the results of these elections: Ed McMahon, president; Frank Duggan, vice pres- ident; Art Quilty, treasurer; Bill Gartland, secre- tary. Pearl Harbor ' s disaster left the college in a state of confusion; students were advised to remain in college until called for service. Courses were accel- erated, mid-years dropped, the final exams taken, and then the Freshman Prom, the night of nights. Recalling the activities, we remember Ed Burns. Johnny Killelea, Red Mangene, Bill DeRosa, Al Ruback, Frank Landry, the giant Gianelli, Ed Fio- rentino and a host of others starring on the football field. We can still see Tom Greehan and Ed Delaney kicking up cinders on the track, Ed Burns, Bob Mason, Jim Ronayne, and Jack Cunniff, skitter- ing across the ice in chase of a puck. We can re- member the actors, Charlie Rogers, Dick Ward, Ed Jennings and the writers, Sandy Jenks and Bill Miller. Sophomores started in May under a new Dean, Stephen Mulcahy, S.J., Father John Foley, S.J., having joined the Navy Chaplain Corps. Our ranks were beginning to thin even then and when we returned in September after two months ' vacation, quite a few of us were missing. Class elections were held; Charlie Rogers, Jack Havlin, Jack Cun- niff, Bill Oliver and Alex McLean were elected. More football games, more rallies, the prospect of the greatest eleven ever assembled in the history of collegiate football. The former Freshman stars sparkled in the lineup. Big Mike Holovak and Freddie Naumetz were the toast of the College. Give it to Mike! was the winning slogan of the football contests. The Mid-years came and vanished leaving in their wake a smaller Sophomore Class. Then came the most unforgettable event of our college career. A certain team from a windy hill in Worcester came to town and blew the mighty Boston College eleven into something or other. That night at the dance the couples were startled by a second tragedy of an already hectic day. The Cocoanut Grove catastrophe rocked the minds of an already startled nation. Boston College received an Orange Bowl bid, accepted and proceeded to make a fine showing on a day that was fated against them. Final examinations were held and the Dean ' s List was published with about twenty members still hanging on, led by Bob Kelliher and Frank Tan- gherlini. Charlie Rogers was one of the leading men in Room Service , Dramatic Society produc- tion. Father Stephen Mulcahy, S.J., succeeded Dean Long, S.J., as Dean of Studies and Father Michael Pierce, S.J., was appointed Dean of Fresh- men and Sophomores. Bill Ryan, Sandy Jenks, Ronald Dunfey, Frank Tangherlini, and Wally McGlynn do their bit for Stylus. McGlynn, Steve Meagher, Tim Cronin, John McAleer, Fred Leonard, John Connolly, Ed Desaulniers, et als., shine as journalists for the Heights. Sophomore Activities officially closed with a farewell dance held in New England Mutual Hall. Charlie Rogers, Joe Resca and the remainder of the committee having done a fine job in arranging the dance with the cooperation of Father Pierce. Junior year started in March with approximately one hundred and seventy-five Juniors remaining. The Army Reserves were called out March 29th. Then in rapid progression quarterlies, more accel- erated courses, and a literary masterpiece every Friday edited by Jim Oates featuring his staff almost entirely composed of Juniors. Junior elec- tions were held which gave the class an outstanding group of officers. Those elected were Jack Havlin, president; Joe Resca, vice-president; Jack McCar- thy, Treasurer; Jim Kelleher, Secretary; and Joe Figurito, A.A. Representative. The Baseball season started off with a league- winning team. The Army having called Boyce and Lanoue caused the team to lose most of its punch. There were, however, many Juniors who filled in capably for these men: Ed Burns, Lou Sorgi, Jim Ronayne, Jack Killilea, Moe Chisholm, Jack Kin- neavy, Jake Killory and many others. The climaxes of this season were Boyce ' s return to pitch and win against his own teammates for the Fort Devens out- fit and the Holy Cross informal game in which an unknown pitcher hurled major league ball for the Cross and set the B. C. ' s down in good order. Following the final examinations, the class brushed off its cares with an elaborate Junior Prom, held at the Stat ler. Jim Keenan and Bill Hamrock along with the rest of the Junior Committee did a fine job in arranging the details under the careful supervision of Fr. Shanahan. On July first, the Junior Class lost all its officers and all but thirty of its members to the Navy and Marines. Under the activities we find Wally Mc- Glynn, Ed Desaulniers, and Paul Dawson working on the Heights staff; Ronnie Dunfey trying to keep Stylus going; Bill Corbett and Red Colbert assist- ing the Fulton Debating; and the above mentioned McGlynn, Joe Cancelliere playing playing Football. Junior Sodality has been merged with all the other Sodalities. Looking over the Dean ' s List we find Bob Kelleher and Frank Tangherlini still leading the class. We are now limping, slowly but surely, into the home stretch of our College career and hope that some one of us will be around to accept a degree from the College. G. E. D. COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION It seems almost ridiculous that of the one hun- dred and one freshmen starting in the College of Business Administration in September of 1941, not one of them should be left a little more than two years later. As a result, the task of recording some of the outstanding events of one of the largest freshman classes ever to enter the College of Busi- ness Administration falls not only to the single Junior remaining, but even more ironically to a former Fordhamite. It will follow, naturally, that as I did not enter Boston College until September of last year, any history prepared by me will be a bit sketchy, but, I will do as well as possible. First, let us deal with a few facts. We were the first class to look forward to a full four years of study under the roof of the new Cardinal O ' Connell Hall; but we soon found that this was not to be. Of the one hundred and one students entering, there are but sixteen that I cannot account for. All of these men left before I arrived and I naturally know little or nothing about them. The remainder are spread among the different branches of Uncle Sam ' s armed forces. The Army has called fifty-one of our classmates, the Navy has laid claims on twenty-three and the Marines have been increased by six of our best. While it has grieved us to see them leave ; we are, nevertheless, proud of them and daily pray that they will be spared to return and take up their books once again under the guidance of their Alma Mater. Three of them have taken up the battle of the home front , while I, alone, remain to uphold the honor of the class of ' 45 of the College of Business Administration. It will be for the historian of the Arts and Science College to tell you of the trying times our class has gone through. He will explain the unrest and peculiar situations we students found ourselves in, torn between our desire for higher learning and our incessant desire to actively serve the land we all hold so dear. My job will be only to recall as many of the pleasant memories as are within my reach. Freshman year brings to mind Mr. Bryan ' s Accounting class, open windows, and agile students, which together constitute an algebraic equation that recalls nothing but the fondest memories. Tommy Greehan, our well known Cinder man, came into the spotlight at this time too, and we were all proud of him. Sophomore year brought Mr. McEwen, S.J., Economics, and Marketing. We have often wondered wh ere he ' d be without his notes. Oh yes, and Mr. Donnelly ' s closing day speech that we so often prefer to forget. Then too, we remember those social gatherings in the base- ment too often attended by the Dean of Men. Remember Dean Kelly ' s remarks to the Sophomore class on their attitude in class and the boys we lost temporarily that day? How about Jim Matthew ' s boogie-woogie and Bill Connolly ' s dances be- tween classes? Then too, any memoirs would be incomplete without mentioning of the now famous Derby Boys who almost stole the show the night of Room Service at New England Mutual Hall. And Arthur Fagan — but why go into that? Then too, we have memories of at least a few Philosophy classes and Father Shea. This was the year we also met Dr. Wylmar Keller and the student body had trouble getting used to the idea of a woman teacher. Who will ever forget the lines that usually formed outside the Accounting classes? — anxious students? — well, in one way they were. To leave out reminiscences of our own special library would be to forget some of our happiest hours and we take this opportunity to thank Father Barrett and Miss Coleman for putting up with our antics and sometimes rather boisterous discussions on Philosophy and Accounting. There were also those farewell dances at the end of each year when the Business School threw open its doors for the benefit of all the students and their dates. Un- pleasant but thrilling are our memories of the two great departures we faced during the year. First it was the ERC in March and then the Navy and Marine Reservists followed on their heels in July. My memories may be vague and scattered, but I hope they have served to recall at least some of the good times of the past as well as a desire to some day return and take up where so many of you had to leave off.

Y. jsatu%E± SUB TURRI STAFF IN THE EMBRYO STAGE CLASS We have come hurriedly over the last few miles. In ordi- nary times we would walk the way again more slowly. We would live our college years in retrospect, gathering as we went those benefits which we, as a class, have received — whether they have come to us as the results of our own ini- tiative and diligence, or as the fruits of our associations with those who have lived along with us. But we have not the time; we cannot particularize — but shall simply take all contributions, multiple and divergent though they be, and place them side by side in our class coffer. The Fall of 1940 comes back easily. Those early days, unknown to us, have been given the advantage of thorough absorption and stand clear and well defined in spite of the interval. Those days were quiet ones, and life was a good deal more leisurely in the living. Then it was that we entered as freshmen and first became acquainted with the college way of life. The weeks of Sep- tember slipped away; fall gave way to winter; and that distinctive tinge of newness peculiar to all freshmen began to leave us. Suddenly our first mid-term examinations were behind us, and the snowy days had gone. When the warmer months of April and May arrived our indoctrination was complete. One year had gone — we were soon to be sopho- mores. Here we must stop a moment. Though we entered college with the shadow of the European war upon us, it was not until the winter of our sophomore year that the hurrying pressure of wartime adjustments became a part of our lives. Schedule revisions came swiftly; the acceleration of courses to a wartime tempo came swiftly and then, quite suddenly, the transition was complete, except for a bit, our college life has been a wartime one, and this, for the rest, must be a wartime Will. From this point on, this Will cannot be exclusively of the class of ' 44; nor can our reflections right- fully be ours, and ours alone. We must share them with those who have put aside their books to enter the service of our country. It is true that we stand in an extraordinary position. We alone have remained to graduate, and as the last graduating class we should have a good deal to say. Still — there re- WILL mains but little to say in the face of the accomplishments of those who have gone to the wars. We must, in this writ- ing, unify and coalesce. These words, therefore, must issue forth not only from our classmates, but likewise from those men who would have followed us to graduation, sore for the dislocations of the student body occasioned by wartime expediency. These men groomed themselves were at the college but briefly, their careers being successively more abrupt through the junior and sophomore, down to the fresh- man class. They have gone forth, and though the time has been short, word of their exemplary participation in the war effort is already here. This Will then must stand as a synthesis of their noble achievements, and the earnest re- solves of those of us who remain. Resting upon their activi- ties they will be active testators to this Will of ' 44. The number of Boston College men, both graduates and underclassmen who have distinguished themselves on the far-flung fields of war is such as would render quite impos- sible any attempt at an individual listing. It will be sufficient to note that they have everywhere been recognized for their unselfish, unceasing devotion to duty, both on the testimony of their fellow warriors, and on the personal commendations of their superior officers. There remains now only a word from the members of the class of ' 44, as co-testators of this Will. Perhaps these words should be written in the for m of a pledge to our alma mater that we shall, to the best of our ability, so engage ourselves in the performance of our wartime tasks whatever they be, that she can point to us with the same gratifying knowledge as she now points to those who have preceded us. But our former underclassmates who are living in war as they lived in peace, in accordance with the truths and principles here inculcated, have given body to this will. We have been included in their portion of the Will as surely as they have been included in ours, and by virtue of this, our words should not take the form of a pledge, but rather that of an indication to our alma mater that she can have the fullest measure of confidence in us as we go forth. This mutual exchange of bequests has served us well. We stand ready. James Kelleher FAREWELL, ARMY RESERVISTS! On March 29th the Eagle on the Heights screamed its defiance at the Axis, as 150 grim, yet cheery sons of Boston College entrained for Camp Devens. One hundred and fifty men of the classes of ' 43, ' 44 and ' 45, men in the Army Reserve, waved fare- well to these gray Gothic towers for the wooden barracks of an army camp. Behind them their memories were sorted in a green hill, spread across a blue lake and anchored by piles of majestic gran- ite. Before them lay the blood and mud of a World War. A war caused not by the poets, priests and philosophers with whom they had been so intimate, but by minds warped by ideas entirely foreign to the principles of their Jesuit Education. This march from the quiet green-turfed Heights down into the worried city and out into a war- scarred world was the first mass draft on Boston College manpower. Hitherto, the college had given the nation hundreds of alumni and many small groups of undergraduates, but this time it was the greatest contribution, yet, the cream of the B. C. student body was offered. The upperclassmen and the youngest of her alumni, the class of ' 43 lost many of their most prominent men, Athletes, Heights men, Stylus men, all types of B. C. men marched away. But it was not a loss. It was a grimly accepted honor, to serve our country in the best B. C. tradition, to swing a machine gun for freedom, and to lay cold steel against the necks of an enemy who sinned with bullying aggression. The parting was bitter, yet heroic in a calm, manly way. Troubled eyes looked at the eternal stone on the hill and promised to come back. Every window gleamed with a memory. A memory of two, three, or four stro ng years of manhood, of shadowy library recesses and smashing men on a green gridiron. We who remained behind saw the thoughtful eye, the determined chin, the upward glance at the vigorous arm of Gothic thrown joy- ously up to God from our tower building. We saw that they were men with a purpose who were bound to God with love and beauty and had been hardened to the truth amid these tons of granite masonry. The inspiring solemnity was the last assembly of our Army Reservists at the college. The chapel in St. Mary ' s Hall which had been the fountain head of our religious life and the tower hall, the one-time core of our social life, furnished the background for this last meeting of the student body before it was split by war. Father William J. Leonard, S.J., a close faculty friend, spoke to us in words we will all remember, and we print this speech not only for its meaning when the Reserv- ists marched away but also as the articulate fare- well of the college to all its sons. R. G. L. Fr. Leonard ' s Address: It might be almost a definition of a Christian to say that he is a man who ivonders, who wonders ever at the mysteries of God and the mysteries of the world, who every day finds new mysteries, and is never finished with his questions and his admiration. Before them he knows he must often pause and fall silent, utterly unequal to the penetration of their un plumbed depths, and though he may speculate on them, even attempt a cautious sounding of them, he knows that in the long run he must rest content and be proud that his puny mind is able to grasp, by faith, the simple fact of their existence. My dear brothers in Christ, you have come this morning from one mystery of faith to face another. You have left the altar, where the light of Calvary shone full upon your faces, and where you offered together the mystery of the Mass, and you have come here, to a last assembly beneath the Toivers, occasioned by the mystery of your departure for war. For your departure is a mystery; we can accept it as a reality, but we cannot, for the present at least, understand why it should be. I think I am right in saying that no man here would elect to go to war if a choice were still open or honorable. I am sure I can say that no man here welcomes for its oivn sake the opportunity to kill or maim or lay waste. Rather am I certain that all of you would choose to complete your education and to begin your work in a normal, peaceful world. And herein lies the mystery, for necessity and honor summon you to do what you find repellent: to lie an abnormal life in crowded barracks, to engage in campaigns of destruction, to tear down where your ideals, your training, your native inclinations would urge you to build up. And we, too, whose privilege it has been to instruct you, we are silent in the face of this mystery. We know it to be your duty to go, but we cannot explain how it has come to be your duty. We cannot tell you why God is permitting it to happen to you; we only know that He is, and that His answer to all our mute questionings is the answer He gave to Paul: My grace is sufficient) for thee. If He had known that you could not do it, He would have arranged that you should be born in some less turbulent age, or that circumstances of health should prevent you from serving. But His fatherly Providence has so ordered things that you have come to maturity at a time when this demand is made of you; you need not, therefore, fear that it is beyond your strength, or that He will fail you in the hour when you call upon Him. He will overshadow you with His shoulders, and under His wings you shall trust. For He hath given His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you even dash your foot against a stone. It seems to me that this mystery of your departure has many resemblances to the mystery of faith which you shared this morning, the Mass you celebrated together. We might say that the first part of the Mass is analogous to your life as you have so far lived it. You began the Mass with the sign of the cross; you began your life with the same sacred sign, sealed upon you in the Sacrament of Baptism, lour Mass continued with prayer and with the instruction of the Epistle and Gospel; your life thus far has been one of prayer, oj instruction, of all those things which have given joy to your youth. You brought the first part of your Mass to a close by reciting the Creed, the declaration of your belief in all those doctrines to which as Christians you give allegiance; you have by your en- listment brought the first part of your life to a close with a declaration of your faith in what America stands for. Then, in the Mass, came the solemn moment of the Offertory. You took the fruits of your earth, bread from your wheat and wine from your grapes, and offered them to God your Father as symbols of your dependence on Him, of your complete and unswerving loyalty to Him. Accept, O holy Father, you cried, this spotless victim, which I, thy unworthy servant, offer to Thee, my living and true God. So now in your lives has come the solemn moment of your Offertory, when, you, soldiers-to-be, offer to your country your energies, your trained minds, your love, even, if need be, your life. It is a pure offering, a holy offering; it is the symbol of your gratitude and unsiverving loyalty to the country which bore and has nurtured you. We, your teachers, looking down upon you and seeing your devotion, cannot but thank God for you — for your strength, for your Christian man- hood, for your selflessness. We should like to break out in that hymn of grateful gladness which you sang at Mass when you found that you had gifts worthy to be offered to God: It is truly meet and just, proper and salutary, that we should always and everytvhere give thanks to Thee, holy Lord, almighty Father, everlasting God. Hanc igitur oblationem . . . as you stretched out your hands over the offerings of bread and wine and asked God to accept them, so we now stretch out our hands over you and ask America to accept you. And from this point on we put away analogies and speak of fact. The bread and wine which you had offered to the Father at the Offertory of your Mass, which had stood for you, became at the Con- secration the Body and Blood of Christ: the Father, looking down, saw you and His Son as one. All of you were gathered and swept up into Christ. Anything you might do or suffer you would do or suffer as members of His Body. If you lived and prayed and loved, you did these things in Christ; if you died, you were one of those blessed who die in the Lord. If, inspired by Christian patriotism, you put aside your thoughts of peace to defend your country, it was Christ in you who put on a uniform and drilled and marched and went hungry and was wounded. Through Him, and with Him, and in Him you would give to God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, all honor and glory. But it is not necessary for me to stress these things. You, who have just come from your com- munion with Christ in the mystery of faith, you know them. The Father has signified His pleasure in your offerings by giving it back to you — your bread and wine, now the Body and Blood of His Son, which you have received. It is your holiness, the bond of your union with one another and with all the Christians of the Communion of Saints, the ple dge of your immortality and your glory in the world to come. He that eateth this bread shall live forever. And so, my dear brothers in Christ, you go out into that other mystery of faith, your vocation to war. As your Mass comes to its end, we need not say Dominus vobiscum to you. The Lord is with you. We say, rather, He, Missa est. Go, it is the dismissal. The Mass you offered here is over, but you must carry its fruits with you away and into whatever life lies before you. With that dis- missal you were commissioned by Christ even before the Army has thought of commissioning you, and a commission is a sacred trust. Christ said to His Apostles: You shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and evzn to the uttermost part of the earth. He says to you as Mass ends: You shall be witnesses to Me at Fort Devens, and in North Africa, and in New Caledonia, and even to the uttermost part of the earth. You are the fruit of My Passion, the fruit that groivs on the Tree of the Cross. Thanks be to God for your commission. Go and fight for a holier world. You must not think that Alma Mater looks impassively on your going. Rather she is like Rachel, bewailing her sons, and refusing to be comforted because they are not. We who have taught you and given you our best and come to love you, we shall miss your bright faces, your boyish honesty, your unspoiled goodness. We shall look for the happy day when you will come back to us for the years of peace. Meanwhile we shall think of you in the Canon of the Mass, when we shall daily say, Remember, Lord, Thy servants — remember Jim and George, Tom and Joe and Ed, whose faith and devotion are known to Thee, for whom we offer this sacrifice of praise to obtain the redemption of their souls, and in hope of their safety and security. My God, protect them as the apple of Thine eye. Keep them beneath the shadow of Thy xvings. Lift up your hearts! All things are yours, and you are Christ ' s, and Christ is God ' s. THE B. C.

A YEAR OF ANNIVERSARIES Perhaps it will not seem so to posterity, but to us contemporaries 1943 looms as a year of huge importance, deciding as it may not only our own lives but those of many future generations. It may not be unfitting, then, that the same year should be the occa- sion of the observance of three anniversaries which in their own way sum up what we as Catholic Americans are fighting for, and, more personally, what we as men of Catholic Boston College hold as our ideals. Our class is auspiciously graduated in the eightieth year since the foundation of Boston College, the fiftieth since the entrance of the Rev. J. F. X. Murphy, S.J., into the Society of Jesus, and the twenty-fifth since the inception of the weekly student newspaper the Heights. The foremost anniversary, of course, is that of the College itself. Boston College has come a long way since it received its charter on April 1, 1863, from the Massachusetts State Legislature, down to its current state of semi-militarization. But in the forefront of all changes it has seen, has been its in- spiring motto Ever to excel which epito- mizes the aims and ideals of Boston ' s Catho- lic College. Boston College, being a Jesuit institution, is dedicated to the Jesuit system of Catholic education, which as any College Catalog will tell you is directed to the full and harmonious development of all those faculties that are distinctive of man. The goal, in a word, is Christian Humanism, a phrase little understood but far-reaching in its implications. No one felt more keenly the need of an institution in Boston to promote this ideal than did the beloved Rev. John McElroy, S.J., the Founder of Boston College. To him it was truly painful to see so large a number of Catholic boys in our city and not one Catholic school. With the removal of this need uppermost in his mind Fr. McElroy la- bored unceasingly to convince superiors that Boston required Boston College, and, when the plans were approved, to actualize his dreams. The College was granted its charter in 1863, but it was not until September 1864 that the doors were opened and the Reverends John Bapst, S.J., and Robert Fulton, S.J., took up their respective duties as President and Dean in the College buildings on James Street and Harrison Avenue. Fr. Bapst was no doubt glad to be in the harmless if bigoted BEFORE GOTHIC ROSE ON THE HEIGHTS 1U1M1W MVi _i ?. 1222.656 FOR J iiitiflB Openu Vrdinal elves 510,000 jB.CATSTAR ' iu. : m, JCreat Campaign for $2.mOO( JfcSslw JL 1 Has Wonderfully Auspiciou i. , l ' -y • ,. ' ? 2,000,000 DRIVE IN 1921 atmosphere of Boston instead of in Maine, where he once had been tarred and feathered by an anti-Catholic mob. Fr. Fulton ' s name lives today in the Fulton Debating Society, and he is remembered by all those who know something of the history of Boston College as one of its most eminent Presidents, having held the post twice. The first class was not graduated until 1887 because previously there had been no professor of philosophy. From this time un- til 1913 Boston College saw many expansions and innovations. The Stylus was established; Fr. Fulton constructed a $250,000 addition to the College on James Street; Fr. Brosnahan made educational history with his brilliant refutation of Professor Charles W. Eliot of Harvard. But the greatest event in the Col- lege ' s history was the bold removal by the Rev. Thomas I. Gasson, S.J., to the present site on University Heights. Fr. Gasson summed up the plan well at the time of the purchase: In University Heights we have a truly magnificent site — one of the finest in the country — and we are determined that the new university will be planned and designed on such a scale that it will rank with the leading universities of the land. The archi- tectural competition was won by the firm of Maginnis and Walsh, and work on the first of the English Collegiate Gothic buildings continued for four years. The new College was informally opened March 28, 1913. Fr. Gasson ' s words on the occasion constituted an appropriate summary of B.C. ' s ideals: Members of the Class of 1913: we now, in an informal way, take possession of this noble building, for the greater glory of God, for the cultivation of true knowledge, for the development of general science, for the con- stant study of those ideals which make for sound personal integrity and for lofty civic uprightness. May this edifice ever have upon it the blessings of the Most High; may it ever be the source of honor and of joy to the Church and her rulers; may it ever be the protection of the people and a firm bulwark to the country which we love so well, and to the State of which we are so justly proud. In his statement on the hopes he had for B.C., Fr. Gasson used the word university advisedly. The new Boston College has grown from the Tower building which was completed and opened in 1913 to the four present magnificent Gothic structures. The year 1917 brought the occupation by the fac- ulty of St. Mary ' s Hall and ended the delays in classes often caused when the faculty car broke down somewhere between Harrison Avenue and the Heights. After a brief inter- lude during the War in 1918 when the regu- lar curriculum was discontinued, Boston Col- lege resumed normal activities. To keep pace with the rapid growth (there were 800 stu- dents in 1919) the Science building was erected from the funds obtained in an inten- sive drive, and was opened in 1924. Four years later, during the tenure of the Rev. James H. Dolan, S.J., the beautiful Library building was dedicated. The number of schools grew too. The Ex- tension organized in 1918 and the Summer school for Catholic Sisterhoods established by the Rev. William Devlin, S.J., developed into the Graduate School. In 1929 the Law School and the downtown Junior College were started, the School of Social Work was opened in 1936, and the College of Business Administration in 1938. When in some future time Boston College is really the university Fr. Gasson visualized, it will comprise some twenty-five Gothic buildings and will be the Catholic Oxford of America. But we have good reason to be proud of the College even now, not only for its brilliant record of service in the War, but just for what it is: the attractively patterned campus; the treasure-house of beauty which is the Library; the other majestic Gothic structures; and the achievements of Boston College and its men down through the eighty years of its history. For that long span of time Boston College has stood for all that the Catholic Church represents. But what is more important is its future. If it has played a large part in the formation of Boston ' s culture in the past, it will play an even larger one, beginning now. With its motto Ever to Excel Boston College will go forward in its task of educating Catholic youth for this life and the next, and for the conversion of Boston into the foremost Catholic city of America. From Boston College in general we turn to one of its more brilliant representatives, the Rev. J. F. X. Murphy, S.J., who this year is a Jesuit half a century. J. F. X., as he is familiarly but not irreverently called, is known to almost everyone at B.C. Although he is not always accessible because of his many activities no one can fail to recognize his familiar figure ,in the corridor or about the campus. Before entering the Jesuit Order in 1893 Fr. Murphy taught school at Hudson in his native state of New Hampshire. His ' studies as a Jesuit took him to Frederick, Maryland, and to Woodstock College, where he was ordained. After special work at Johns Hopkins, Fr. Murphy traveled widely in Ire- land, Germany, France, Scotland, and Eng- land, broadening the scope of his historical knowledge, and then taught at Georgetown, St. John ' s (Philadelphia), Fordham and Holy Cross before coming to the Heights in 1930. At that time there were only four His- tory courses; in 1936 there were eighteen, which may or may not be a coincidence. Paralleling his career is a personality which can only be called unique. Those who know J. F. X. most intimately would say he is a compound of erudition, wit and effervescence. His unbelievably wide range of knowledge and depth of scholarship are the products both of the Jesuit Order and of his own desire to add to the stature of the Catholic Church. It has been proverbial at B.C. for some time to regard Fr. Murphy as a sort of encyclopedia with immanent action. Many a professor has replied to a student ' s question with, I don ' t know but I ' ll ask Fr. J. F. X. next time I see him. Besides being a leading authority on all that pertains to the Jesuits, Fr. J. F. X. is among those most informed about Irish History and relations, and is well-known for his staunch and forth- right advocacy of Irish freedom. In this cause he has gained more than one follower at Boston College. When Fr. Murphy imparts his erudition from the platform an audience is always as- sured even though the lecture may last for several hours. For, mixed with his learning is a facile, sparkling wit, which transforms what might otherwise be merely a factual documentary discourse into a brilliant and delectable commentary. Unfortunate is the person or object coming under the fire of Fr. J. F. X. Whether the attack be thunderous or light it is always full of salty piquancy to flavor and point up its relentless logic. Perhaps the only word that can justly de- scribe Fr. Murphy is effervescent . The mingling of learning and wit (used here in its many senses) creates an overflow of verve and energy. What else can explain the jolly personality of the man who has been referred to as an Institution of Boston College? The coincidence of his and the College ' s anniver- saries is an occasion for a warm tribute. Fr. J. F. X. Murphy, whom we like to think of as the typical Jesuit, may look back with justifiable pride on his fifty years of service with the Society of Jesus, and may look for- ward, we fondly hope, to many more. The subject of the third celebration is the weekly student newspaper, the Heights, which is now in its twenty-fifth year. The Heights is perhaps the best-known student publication, either because it is not as eso- teric as the Stylus (as Heightsmen would say), or because it is the only reading matter available on Fridays which concerns B.C., and at the same time fits the cafeteria atmos- phere (as Stylus men would say). The Heights, then we take it, scarcely requires an introduction. But there are a few facts about the paper which are not well known. When it was established the Heights was published in a smaller format (about the page-size of the Stylus), had four pages, and was priced at two cents the copy. TheHeighls ' first subscriber was the Rev. Edw. J. Mc- Laughlin, of Concord, Mass., who also pro- posed the Eagle as B.C. ' s mascot. The first issue, just in time to headline B.C. ' s 9 to 7 victory over Holy Cross, gave a declaration of Heights policy. The purpose, it stated, was to inform every student in the college con- cerning every activity in the college ... to be the soldering iron that will weld us to- gether ... in ... a powerful chain of SPIRIT. The expressed ideal was the great- er glory of Old B.C. In 1920 the paper was enlarged to about three-quarters its present size, and the price became five cents. One curious fact of the Heights ' early history was a special pictorial edition with a picture of the Stylus staff! Through the years the Heights has con- tinued to report the activities of Boston Col- lege on and off the campus. The news it prints is called stale but no one has advanced a better schedule of publication (although the paper used to appear Tuesdays some years ago). Because of the time required for editing and printing, work has to begin early in the week, although it is usually all done Wednesday nights (and Thursday morn- ings). But in spite of the hardships and handicaps which attend each issue the paper has produced a succession of competent jour- nalists. Joe McCarthy, now Managing Editor of Yank, the official U. S. Army weekly, was once on the Heights ' editorial staff, and made Heights history with the puckish humor of his column, In One Ear. Joe is well-known in Boston for a series of funny draftee letters which appeared in the Post. Jack Gately, ex-Heights Feature Editor, is B.C. ' s most famous Marine of this war. Many other names could be cited. Within four years the Heights has had five Editors-in-Chief, with three of these holding office in 1943 — Ernie Santosuosso, Ted Bernhardt and Jim Wild Oates. On the occasion of its twenty-fifth anniver- sary we may recall some of the events in recent Heights history. Many will remember Al Arsenault ' s controversial series on Catho- lic Education; Cyril G. K. Marshbank ' s witty expositions of Stuff ology (a reaction against Functionalism) ; the dramatic and literary reviews; and, of course, the Stylus critiques. The Heights was by no means exempted from the impact of Pearl Harbor. The losses in its staff were temporarily replaced by new recruits but as these too departed the paper was left with a bare working crew. But true to the traditions of its twenty-five years the Heights carried on, mindful of its aims to train writers and at the same time give the students a weekly newspaper they would look forward to. The Heights can be doubly proud: of itself; and of the concur- rence of its anniversary with those of Fr. Murphy and the Alma Mater of both — Boston College. TRADITION AND TODAY Now, and in the days soon to come when the din and clamor of a war-ripped world will have reached its dizziest heights, another war class will leave the halls of Boston Col- lege to join their brothers in arms. Another group of men will make their premature en- trance onto a stage with a setting of death and destruction; for in more peaceful days they would still be at their studies, with the uncertainty of business and not battle to dis- turb them. But learning is on the double now, for a war cannot wait. Since the treacherous at- tack two years ago, Boston College has will- ingly geared herself to the task of educating and training her boys with accelerated speed, of preparing each one to take his place some- where in the ranks when the time draws near. Two classes have already taken up the gaunt- let; the zero hour for the class of 1944 is at hand. The curtain is falling on three glorious years — however quickly they have passed. The parts of these men have been short but they have learned their roles well. The truth, the courage, the devotion to God, the Catholic Philosophy of life, and the tradition so gal- antly perpetuated by those who have gone before, will be taken with them when they begin rehearsal for the greatest part they have ever played. God grant that they play it well. Some twenty-five years ago, under condi- tions quite similar to those of today, another man left to fight in another World War. He was older, but war was still new to him, and as ghastly as war has always been. He was a private then, but on the eleventh of Novem- ber when hostilities ceased, the fight and drive and discipline that made a name for him on the gridiron, earned for him the title of Major Cavanaugh. This is when Boston College first met the Iron Major. The Denver Athletic Club, Worcester Academy, Holy Cross and Dart- mouth, his alma mater, had already served under his tutelage, but we like to think that his grandest years were at the Heights. Those seniors of another year will always remem- ber the names of Tom Scanlan, Chuck Darl- ing, Jim Fitzpatrick, Luke Urban, George Kelly, Jack Heathy, Fr. Jim Doyle, Tony Comerford, Tom O ' Brien, Ted Madden, Joe McKenny and others when the famous teams of the early ' 20 ' s are mentioned, just as now the names of Holovak, Gladchuk, Toczylow- ski, Maznicki, Doherty, Boudreau and O ' Rourke bring memories to us of 1944. Cav ' s boys were good, but he never had the material like that which made the 1940 team the talk of the nation. It was Cav him- self that made the famous ' 20 teams. A strict disciplinarian with his men, he worked and drove them during practise so they moved like clockwork when the whistle blew. This mastery of the art and science of foot- ball, the ability to lead and organize men into a fighting unit, made him a great on the gridiron and hero to thousands, most of whom, like the grandstand quarterbacks, only knew him from a distance. But it was his role of father that really drew him into the hearts of men. It was a simple letter by a soldier to his son, an expressive masterpiece of love and affection that drew him and will continue to hold him in the public spotlight long after most people have forgotten the scores, and the heroes, and the glamor of his pigskin victories. His letter is a public heritage. It was twenty-six years ago, in France, just at about the time when the big fights were about to begin and the allied machines of war were preparing for the great push, that this lieutenant sat down to write to his boy — his Davie Boy . It was near taps; everyone was in bed now except Cav and Davie — they had things to talk about. Your good mother writes me that you have a chum, he began, and she says that he is a fine boy who lives next door. Isn ' t that fine? I wish I had a chum. You and your mother used to be my chums and some- times Joe and Billy and even dear little Rose Marie and Phil, too, when he was home; but now that is all changed and I have no chum in all the world. I think it ' s rather sad some- times, don ' t you, but I have your pictures which I take down and talk to when I ' m lone- some. And then they talked about school and the happier days when Davie would run to meet the car and how you ' d hide behind a tree and run up behind me and scare me after I had passed. And how so much fun it was when they talked about the parade and the circus — but best of all was Christmas; the presents, and the dinner, with turkey and dressing and plum pudding and everything. Oh, Dave, Cav went on, did any little boy ever have such a good mother as you, I wonder. And now you are soon to have an- other Christmas and old Cav won ' t be home. But I want you to have the finest time you ever had on that day, so that I may be happy over here thinking of you all. But it was hard to be happy in the little lonely barracks listening to the sound of rain pounding on the roof. It was hard to be gay when you were lonesome for your family. But there was something great at stake, some- thing big that made it easier to bear. He went on to finish. And, now, David, old boy, every one is in bed but me, trying to get lots of strength and health for the big fights we will soon be in, so I must do likewise and end this letter to you. You must always remem- ber that your father came into this great war for the sake of all little children — I can see you growing up tall and straight, with shoul- ders back and head up, because that ' s what old Cav wants and you love old Cav, don ' t you, Davie Boy? The lights are going out in a few minutes, so good night, Dave, and God bless you. This was the real Cav, the Cav that Boston College is proud to have had as its coach. Boston College has sent whole battalions of its sons to the wars. Over three thousand American servicemen look proudly back at their Alma Mater on Chestnut Hill and steel themselves against the jarring conflict with her ideals and traditions. Europe, Africa, Asia, the Pacific, the Atlantic, all provide a rendezvous for men with memories of Uni- versity Heights. Some were only callow freshmen when they left, although quickly hardened into stalwart commandos. Some were eager-eyed young alumni impatient to ACTORS ON THE SET AS IRON MAJOR WAS FILMED AT THE HEIGHTS fulfill the needs of a warring world. They march with older brothers who had graduated between World Wars. The college honors all. But there are many alumni who have shoul- dered a rifle in both wars. Of these last the college is especially proud. For they are not only perpetuating a tradition, they have helped establish it. They have slogged through the mud of France in 1918 and the sands of the South Pacific and Africa in 1943. War holds no glamor for them, as it might for us. They were awake to its harsh misery and scarred by its blood and brutality when they returned to fight again in this sec- ond bout for freedom and America. They learned the truth during their years at the college and have offered both their youth and manhood to protect it. Boston College salutes them for upholding her ideals of courage and Catholic devotion to God and country, the militant truth they are offering their lives for. All of these veteran alumni are not known, but those who are, are honored and respected, particularly by this graduating class who find their fighting careers an inspiration. Over five hundred B.C. men marched away into the last war. An additional eight hun- dred were in training at the college when peace was declared. These men are fathers of present day students and have hardened their sons into manhood with the ideals in which they themselves were confirmed. Of those who returned and became heroes of both wars, Colonel Warren J. Clear and Com- mander John J. Shea are famous. Both were graduates of the class of 1918. Both were poets and Stylus men. Colonel Clear chose the Army and Commander Shea, the Navy, but both have carried themselves in the best B.C. custom. Colonel Clear, Jasper to his classmates, was prominent in the college debating and dramatic circles. He was an editor of the Stylus and one of its poets. His activity and amiable disposition made him popular among his classmates. But he was impatient for a chance to serve his country and left early for Army training at Plattsburgh, New York. He was one of the first two men in his class to be commissioned and served in the 22nd Infantry on Governor ' s Island, New York. For over twenty years he studied the Japa- nese and their army, sounding its treachery and uncovering its strategy. His was one of the few voices awakening America to its peril. December 7, 1941, found him at Manila. Bataan and Corregidor, a subma- rine trip to Java and a plane hop to Australia were chapters in his exciting career in service of his country. Finally, Washington sum- moned him, sorely in need of expert knowl- edge of the Japanese language and customs and of the treacherous Nipponese character. Now in his position on the General Staff Corps at Washington, D. C, this Boston Col- lege graduate invaluably serves his country in her need. Colonel Clear in a letter to the Stylus readily acknowledges his debt to the college for his success. He praises the men of the Society of Jesus as the finest teachers in the world. The gold in his B.C. education he found to be her philosophy which has an- chored him in the battles of peace and war. It is refreshing to find such a frank avowal of faith in the symbol of B.C., and the present war class will endeavor to live up to this pride in its accomplishment. Commander John J. Shea, U.S.N. Wher- ever men assemble, in Tower hall or battle- front, academic library or alumni banquet, this name will be spoken of as one of our hero great. This flying eagle of gridiron and flight deck is famous throughout his country, but here on the Heights he lives in each stu- dent ' s heart as the exemplar of all the college stands for. Jawn Shea was one of our football greats. His courage and aggressiveness was bored to many a famous line as he centered the ball and plowed through or held his oppo- nents cleated fast to the ground. His career in aviation and the Navy was marked with the same fearlessness. The Squantum Air Base is a memorial to his executive ability. Personal danger meant lit- tle to him during his duty there and he con- ducted several thrilling rescues at sea. ONE OF THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHS OF COMMANDER JOHN J. SHEA, USN., MISSING IN ACTION Out of the Navy ' s files comes this splendid action shot of Commander John J. Shea, USN., shown at the air control station of the carrier, USS WASP. This is one of the best existing photographs of Commander Shea, whose letter to his son, Jackie, has been so widely reprinted as a Navy classic of World War II. Behind him, at right, is Lt. Comdr. Courtney Shande. The telephone controlman, at left, is Seaman Brown. This photograph was made when the aircraft carrier was ferrying British aircraft to Malta. Over Commander Shea ' s right shoulder the sun is coming out of the Mediterranean Sea. The photograph was made as Commander Shea (then Lt. Comdr.) ivas ' directing the dawn launching of aircraft from the air control station on the island of the WASP. This photograph was once used as an unidentified descriptive picture. The USS WASP ivas sunk by a Japanese submarine in the Solomons area, Sept. 15. Commonder Shea went three times into the inferno to rescue shipmates. He ivas braving the flames for a fourth time when there was an explosion. He didn ' t come back. Commander Shea wrote to his son: Play fair, always. Strive to join — Don ' t ever be a quitter. . . . Last of all, don ' t forget your daddy. Pray for him to come back. And if it is God ' s will that he doesn ' t — be the kind of boy you know your daddy wants you to be. (From Public Relations. First Naval District. Boston. Mass.) The war found him facing the fury of Nippon, the hero of a flaming, battering bom- bardment. We all know how he died amid exploding shells and flying steel fragments, fighting the fire and damage which soon sent our heroic Wasp to the bottom, a burning wreckage of exploding ammunition and twisted steel. But the cold green seas of the Pacific cannot cool the fame of Commander Shea. We will always remember him as the highest type of B.C. man, a Catholic and an American, the two ideals toward which he urged Jackie to strive. His letter to Jackie, of course, is an integ- ral part of Boston College literature. It is so fortunate that this hero was gifted with liter- ary expression to make articulate the vibrant spirit that fired him throughout his life, at the college and at war. In his Stylus poetry we see daring, and a strong fierce love of life and conquest of the air. We read of his de- sire to fly to the hills — and home, the yearning of a Catholic scholar and gentleman to reach the Home of the Eternal. Cavanaugh, Shea, Clear, Gately, Cuenin, Kelly and hundreds of other names are en- graved on the scroll of the maroon and gold heroes. These men have written the Boston College tradition which we graduates of to- day strive to uphold. Whatever part our class of 1944 is destined to play in this war it will be the more glorious because of the precedent and ideals these men have set.

O ' Leary, ' 44 THE LUNCHROOM For a month we ' d neither wittles nor drink Till a hungry we did feel So we drawed a lot, and accordin ' , shot The captain for our meal. The lunchroom has never had an alias, al- though it could well have been called the Deacon ' s Masterpiece, Invitation to Death, et al. One should not, from this, infer that we are victims of culinary sport. Sully and his Marjory Mills boys have had to revive a doughnut, now and then, that had grown a bit brick-batty, or color the coffee to make it look like coffee while it foamed like beer — but all that comes under art and good clean fun. There might be an argument you say. If they can camouflage the food, the very best one could do would be to camouflage the lunchroom — something like The Holy Cross Diner or the Hoy-ya Emporium would be nice. After all, charity begins at home and Sully has his pride, too. You may have something, but it ' s more fun to play the game. Life is full of surprises, and what better way to start Monday morning than to say to one ' s self, I wonder if Sully forgot to dampen the doughnuts this morning or will there be one or two bowls of mus- tard (?) on the counter — they wouldn ' t dare, you say! And thereupon you jump out of bed. If nothing else, it ' s a means of getting up. Anyway, Sully has a radio. This means nothing to Mr. P. waiting for his morning train, but to you this looms as the possible The Findings of This Paper Confirmed by Independent Scientific Research answer to the hot dishes that impersonate the blue plate specials of other restaurants. It ' s back fence talk that the Mystery Chef doesn ' t dare identify himself — is it Sully, is it Ed? It makes no difference, if you care naught for your stomach. Hot dishes should have an air about them. They do in the spots around town; they ' re important and they know it. But down- stairs in the Tower building they ' re timid and like to be covered with slices of bread. Personally, I ' ve nothing against hot dishes and I don ' t discriminate among them. It makes no difference to me if my classmate prefers shrimp wiggle to vegetable plate. To put it bluntly, I ' m indifferent to them. But, if things were as they should be, I would vio- lently defend shrimp wiggle every time. After all, some men like blondes and others bru- nettes and I like shrimp wiggle. However, Sully ' s shrimp wiggle is shy — it thinks it ' s offensive and because of that, it probably is. Now it has no right to feel in this manner. Quite the contrary, it should laud it over its inferiors and be proud it ' s considered a meal. This is no reflection on Sully, you under- stand. He ' s having enough trouble with the coffee and doughnuts and we don ' t expect him to worry about embarrassed shrimp. All this points to confusion, say you. What with blushing shrimp and magicians behind the counter, there can be no order, no spirit of camaraderie — heresy and rot! Every wheel has its hub, and the lunch- room was the beating pulse of the Chestnut Hill merry-go-round. There was no ring to snatch for a free ride — all one needed was an amiable nature and a few cigarettes. Atmos- phere that throbbed in hurdy-gurdy time was ideal, and here Joe College was at his best — rakish hat, sloppy shoes and pranks mingling joyously with that air of studies carried from the classroom. Here futures were moulded, parties planned and imagination was king; here the- ory became practical and hearts were cement- ed in friendship forever. The most popular topic? Like boots, boots, boots, it was girls, girls, girls. I say was because it no longer is. Now it is war and hate, battles, guns, inde- cision! The future? Ah, there you have it — we had none — or so it seemed. Plans were in chaos — to be graduated quickly was the thing. The gang was breaking up, Bob was leaving — a going-away party. But it was drab. The zest was gone — sadness was the keynote. Crossword puzzles were forgotten, psych arguments didn ' t flare up, the lunch- room became a place to eat and there it stopped. Funny, too, how each fellow would talk about his date for the game, dance or the rally, each one thought his girl was a queen. There was a lot of ribbing but no one mind- ed, degrees of great lover were conferred with abandon. But now the lunchroom is a place to eat and there it stops. Remember? Friday mornings in the Fall the fever would start. Tomorrow was the big game. Students — freshmen and seniors alike would crowd in the lunchroom, black and white Heights waving in every hand, pictures of the play ers, last minute information, final- ly — rally tonite! The excitement was rising, the bar was mobbed. Big Ed, mechanical, competent, pouring one frappe after another. They were our steins, college life our song — Falstaff would have loved it! There were no purple patches here — we were one, it was our college and this was its heart. A girl once told me that she could think of nothing better to be than a professor ' s wife — they always remain young — life is all around them, she said. We have no profes- sors in our lunchroom, but behind its counters is the fountain of youth. There the pomp of dances and the echoes of games remain — there the souvenirs of other days. But now on rainy afternoons, when the spire of the Tower is shrouded in mist and the rain beats clean the black tar road, the friendly lights of the lunchroom are no longer friendly. Sure, Ed and Sull are there and Mike is filling coffee mugs, but the tables are empty and the corners bare. The pictures of the greats of the past still hang in their dusty frames, but even they have lost some- thing — even they long for the laughter of the boys who have gone. But, lest we forget — it was Sull ' s idea. He was lonely too. But he ' d keep a list, an honor role he called it, of those who had come and gone. He ' s made each entry faith- fully and there aren ' t many more. Our names will be in that book one day and then there ' ll be just Sull, Big Ed and Mike with his pipe. But their names will be in our books in gold, and like Ben Adhim ' s, they ' ll lead all the rest. John F. Elliott Off to Notre Dame Man Woman of the Year.

GOES TO WAR The Boston College Dramatic Society ' s late 1941 production of Shakespeare ' s King Lear was indeed a memorable performance, but for us of ' 44 it held a peculiar — a greater — significance. For that play, though none realized it at the time, was destined to become the last peace-time student activity of the College. Almost before the final curtain had been rung down, the United States found it- self hurled into the role of tears that is World War II. And with the attack on Pearl Harbor and subsequent declarations of war by Ger- many and Italy began a long and difficult period of adjustment, of change. So great is the hiatus between peace and war that this transition could not have been but as it was — gradual. It was gradual in national life, it was gradual in social life, it was gradual in collegiate life. The scholastic program was slowly accelerated as more and more holi- days were dropped from the academic calen- dar, as more and more subjects were pressed into the academic schedule. Time is short! became the battle-cry, and time was short indeed. Concerted study in the insecure at- mosphere of the dark days immediately fol- lowing Pearl Harbor became a difficult mat- ter, where before it had been undertaken with ease. But the gargantuan proportions of the task confronting us were not completely realized until long after that tragic seventh of Decem- ber. The strength of our enemies was not fully comprehended until after the initial en- gagements. The intimate relation of the war to each of us was not driven home until a friend — perhaps a fellow-student — was killed in action, or listed as missing, or captured, or wounded. War suddenly became starkly real, its glamor a non-entity. The College authorities were quick to fore- see the importance of time in the scholastic life of a warring America. Holidays were drastically reduced in number, the summer vacation was greatly shortened, the academic day was lengthened. Many extra-curricular activities, which might conceivably lure too many away from the serious studies at hand, were dropped. As a result of these war- necessary measures, we who entered the class- rooms and laboratories of Boston College as the class of ' 44 will be awarded our degrees almost a full year ahead of schedule, but with the satisfaction of knowing that even under the accelerated program we have received the same incomparable Boston College education as have our predecessors. New subjects, too, were added to the cur- riculum in an effort to fit the student better for his future tenure in the armed forces. Map-interpretation and navigation classes were enthusiastically attended, and the en- rollment in such standard courses as mathe- matics, chemistry, and physics increased enormously. With the announcement of the various re- serve programs, much of the uncertainty en- veloping the student ' s military status was re- moved. Many enlisted in the popular Marine Corps Reserve. Others joined the various classes of the Naval Reserve as future deck, . engineering, or flying officers. Some chose the U.S.A.F.R., while still others enlisted in the Army ' s Air Corps or Signal Corps Re- serves. Soon it was the exceptional student who was not enrolled in one or another of the reserves. In February, 1943, sixteen Army Air Corps Reservists received their notices to report for active duty. Many Navy Induction in the Auditorium V-5 students likewise were called up. Towards the end of March, 1943, the great majority of the Army Enlisted Reservists at the Heights were activated, and at the end of June Army and Navy pre-medical students were also placed on active duty and assigned to various other colleges — Brown, Holy Cross, The University of New Hampshire, Tufts — for further training. At present there are eight Army, forty-three Navy, and eigh- teen Marine Reservists in attendance at the College of Arts and Sciences, which, together with the twenty-six Navy and two Marine Reservists attending the College of Business Administration, gives a total of ninety-seven seniors in the various services, an overwhelm- ing majority of the much depleted senior stu- dent body. r fr o it 1 : ' 3 The first joy of the returning Reservists, Father Pierce. Highlighting the two mass departures of the reservists in March and June, respective- ly, were the communion breakfasts held to commemorate the occasions. Father Leonard ' s address at the initial communion breakfast attracted widespread attention, as also did Father J. F. X. Murphy ' s at the latter. Expanding Boston College ' s war-training program was the inauguration of a course for Army Signal Corps personnel. Since the inception of the course the laboratory, located on the second floor of the Science Building, has been constantly alive with the activity of students pursuing this vital study. Special E.S.M.W.T. studies were also ini- tiated for the benefit of civilians engaged in the very necessary production phase of the war-effort. Courses in the Mathematics of Radio Communication, Optical Instruments, Industrial Chemistry, and similar subjects were offered by Boston College in connection with the E.S.M.W.T. program. Many took advantage of the opportunities thus afforded. The College ' s class-room and laboratory facilities were utilized, and members of the faculty provided the instruction. Climaxing the metamorphosis of Boston College from peace to war was the establish- ment in late July of a Unit at the Heights, functioning as an integral part of the vast Army Specialized Training Program. At this writing the unit consists of four hundred and thirty-two officers and men, with the strong possibility that this number will be augmented in the near future. The soldier- students have taken over the confines of St. Mary ' s Hall, erstwhile resident of the Jesuit College faculty, as their quarters. They sleep four to six to a room in traditional Army barracks style. Main soporific to be found in the simply appointed rooms is a battery of double-decker Army bunks, which must, we imagine, be extremely welcome after a long day of physical and mental exertion. The men in B.C. ' s first Army unit of World War II have variegated military back- grounds. Posts, camps, and stations all over the United States are represented. Some have come to the Heights from the Universities of Alabama and Utah. Some wear the red sea- horse of the Amphibian Engineers, others wear the flying star of the Air Corps or the winged Caduceus of the Medical Corps. But all are primarily soldiers seriously under- taking the task at hand. Feeding of the Army unit takes place like- wise in St. Mary ' s Hall, where the Jesuit refectory and one other room have been con- verted into a mess-hall capable of meeting the culinary needs of the soldier population, who eat cafeteria-style. Another innovation made necessary by the presence of the sol- diers is a well-equipped dispensary staffed by three nurses. Three hundred of the four hundred and thirty-two Army men are enrolled in the basic engineering course, while one hundred and twenty-eight are taking the area and language course. The latter featur es the study of three languages, French, German and Spanish. The educational phase of the Army program at the Heights consists of thirteen-week cycles of study, and each full course is anticipated to be of nine months ' duration. Maintenance of high standards of scholarship by the G.I. students is assured by periodical check-ups and a rigorous program of searching exami- nations. Depending upon the aptitude evinced by the student and the need of the Army, those who successfully complete the basic engineering course here at the Heights may be assigned for further study to a specialized technical college, there to undertake courses in advanced engineering. The Army Special- ized Training Program is not considered as a lark by its enrollees, for they are fully aware that they may be transferred immedi- ately to a combat unit should the exigency arise. Free time is at a premium for the khaki- clads, and their schedule is an intensive one. Fully fifty-nine hours per week are occupied by their training program. Twenty-four of these are devoted to class work, twenty-four to study, six to physical education, and five to strictly military training. The Army adminis- trative staff supervises the five hours of mili- tary work, while the remaining fifty-four hours are in the charge of the Dean of the College. From 7:40 until 10:00 each eve- ning is a period of enforced study. Taps sounds at 11:00 P.M., and reveille at 6:30 A.M. The Army Specialized Training Program is not just a plan for educating a certain per- centage of Army personnel in the general art of warfare. No, it is a program for turning out specialists, and its scope is not limited to this war period but embraces also the days of peace ahead. Organization of the A.S.T.P. was deemed necessary by the Army in order to fulfill a very tangible need, the need of well trained men. So many were being called to the colors that a definite and perhaps disastrous dimunition in specialized man- power was foreseen unless such a program was initiated. A mark of 115 or better in Army examinations is required as a pre- requisite for specialized training. Previous study qualifications in languages, engineer- ing, etc., are also helpful. Commandant of the B.C. Unit is crisp, efficient Major John Canavan of the United States Army, who is assisted in his adminis- trative duties by Lts. Stanul, Ellowitz, and Danahy. Major Canavan considers himself the luckiest person around Boston in re- ceiving his B.C. assignment from the War Department. I got a hand of thirteen spades all at once, he declares, referring to his being sent back to Boston — his home-town — and installed as CO. of the recently formed B.C. Army unit. And I ' m no stranger to Boston College, either, smilingly continues the Major, many of whose friends have matriculated here at the Heights. In fact, a brother of his, Richard F., graduated from B.C. in the later thirties and is now a Lieu- tenant in the Army. The Major himself grad- uated from Boston Latin School and Harvard College. He received his commission in the reserves in April, 1941, and since that time has seen extensive service in many of the theaters of war. He has been at Fort Bragg, Fort Sill, and Camp Dix in this country, and has been stationed outside the United States in the Canal Zone, Burra Burra, New Zea- land, Melbourne, New Caledonia, and the Fiji Islands. The campaign bars on the Ma- jor ' s military tunic include the pre-Pearl Harbor and Southwest Pacific ribbons. Contrast in modes of transportation was vividly demonstrated by Major Canavan ' s air journey — his first — back from the Fiji Islands. Whereas it required forty-three days to reach the islands by boat, the return trip by plane took less hours — thirty-two. The only really marked evidence — on the exterior — of the militarization of Boston Col- lege is to be found in St. Mary ' s Hall, and even there the visible changes are slight. The beautiful chapel is still in use, although it is separated from the building proper by a newly erected partition. The Cloister sign has been removed for the first time since St. Mary ' s was built, but the Treasurer ' s Office is unchanged, any transition being obviated by the presence of walled-in vaults. The Commanding Officer is the proud occupant of what was once the Rector ' s Office, and, of course, the sleeping quarters have been taken over by the Army students. Only decorative change appears to be the huge, multi-colored military maps of Sicily, Russia, and other war zones, which adorn the walls in profu- sion. The last weeks of July witnessed feverish activity on the campus as the Jesuit faculty evacuated their living quarters in St. Mary ' s Hall to make way for the incoming soldiers. The moving required several days, and the huge red vans of Dunn Packers were a familiar sight during the period. Many of the Jesuits had become so rooted in St. Mary ' s that moving proved a formida- ble task indeed. Take Father J. F. X. Murphy, for example. The noted professor ' s room had, after thirteen years, accumulated a plethora of reference books and similar academic aids. With the willing assistance of muscular Father Larkin, Father Murphy set about the onerous duty and, after much exer- tion, eventually accomplished the job of mov- ing his countless well-labeled packing cases to their new home. The change doesn ' t affect me much, admits Father Murphy. I ' ve been living barracks style for fifty The French Navy received by Father Mulcahy. years, he explains, referring to his service in the Jesuit order. The period of adjustment was not without its humorous incidents, as Father John L. Bonn discovered. The former English Pro- fessor and luoderator of the Dramatic Soci- Father Bonn in uniform directs his last play. ety, who is now a Naval Chaplain, arrived at his new quarters one night to find his bed already occupied by another Jesuit who had mistaken it for his own. Father Bonn was surprised, to say the least. The new accommodations of the Jesuit fac- ulty are widely scattered about the campus. Some of the professors live in the dwellings along Commonwealth Avenue. Others occupy houses on Beacon Street. Cardinal O ' Connell Hall, once the site of the College of Business Administration, shelters still more, while even the museum has been partitioned off to meet the pressing need for adequate quarters. The old senior cafeteria in the bottom of the Tower Building has been transformed into a refectory for the Jesuits, whose former eating facilities are now being used by the Army. With three thousand of her sons in the armed services and seventeen hero dead, with all of her facilities pointed to the day of final victory, with an Army Specialized Training Unit quartered on the campus, Bos- ton College can point with justifiable pride to her contribution to the war effort. YES, B.C. HAS DEFINITELY GONE TO WAR! THE A. S. T. P.
