The Class of ' 45 began to scatter almost as soon as it came into existence and its members have scarcely any common memories of four years. None of the class saw four calendar years of college days; those of the class who have completed the full course present this Sub Turri as an attemp t to restore memories of experiences that have been ours and to make memories of experiences that normally would have been ours. If in the pages of this book we can feel even a little of four years of Gothic towering over a linden campus, four years of Religion and the Fine Arts, four years of always to excell , — then ive have a glimpse of our youth that was to be, and this Sub Turri is a success.

Because you are so few in number, we place all the greater confidence and hope in you. The world of men, whether they will it or not, must in the final count live by God ' s grace and by knowledge. Knowledge is power — for good, if true, for evil, if false. Truth and God ' s grace are your abundant heritage. I know that you will spend it generously for your country and for all men. Rev. William J. Murphy, SJ. Alma M ater salutes both you who are about to leave us and your former classmates who may be found in every part of the world, be it stifling jungle or frozen steppe. She is proud of you and of those who have gone before you. Some have already proved their worth in a very realistic way and have reduced to practice the principles they learned beneath these towers. You too who tarry but a little longer in the shadow of the familiar Gothic will soon be called to bear witness to the value of your training. In the testing, be it in the civilian or mili- tary sphere, you will prove no less worthy of your Alma Mater. There are difficult days ahead but you are ready. May God bless you and keep you ! Rev. Stephen A. Mulcahy, S.J. It is a strange and uncertain world you are entering on the mor- row. Most of your classmates have gone on before you into a mael- strom of strife and confusion. Truly the influences and activities of this strange world will test your intellectual and moral fibre almost to the breaking point. But in your admirable persistency and in the power of truth lies your victory — a victory Alma Mater confidently awaits because she knows that you will be ever loyal to her teachings and always mindful of the Ideal to which she has directed your vision of youth. May God and His abundant grace accompany you ! James J. Kelley, S.J. Rev. James L. Burke, S.J., Ph.D. Chairman, Department of History and Gov Rev. John A. O ' Brien, S.J..

Assistant Professor of Religion Jhe ( naplaind Boston College has given hundreds of men to the service of our country. Among those serving gloriously, both God and nation, are those former members of the Jesuit faculty who felt their duties lay with the men shouldering arms. The founder of the Society of Jesus, St. Ignatius Loyola, fought as a soldier, and later fought the battle for religion. The traditions of this great and holy man are being faithfully maintained by those who taught at Boston College in the years be- fore this war. By glorifying their God, they glorify Boston College. Those who remain at the College ardently hope that each of them will be spared to return once more to the scene of their original endeavor. May the prayers of those they have left on the home front be answered by the God they are so honorably serving. Capt. Anthony G. Carroll, U.S.A. Li. William J. Kenealy, U.S.N.R. Lt. John L.

Week after week of class fled into eternity as Forty-Five ' s educa- tion in the arts and sciences progressed. December 7, 1941, came to break the tradition. Singly and in groups, the men of Forty-Five left the College, interrupting their education to go where glory awaited them on the battlefronts of the war. As the long-expected day of graduation approached — eleven months prematurely — twenty-eight of the original five hundred remained to receive degrees. These represent the thin line of Forty-Fivers on the home front who have kept the scholastic tradi- tion of Forty-Five alive. Cashman, McEntee, Cavan, Cancelliere O la 5 5 rtld ton ¥ It was one of those gray, misty, typically Boston days and you found yourself walking across Boston Common with nothing much in particular to do. So you were coming to the end of your college career. You had almost finished what tradition told you were supposed to be the best and happiest days of your youth. Well, they were, weren ' t they? Hadn ' t you found out that B.C. had snuggled into its own corner of your heart ? You know, sometimes it ' s lots of fun just to reminisce, to wander back over the years spent at the Heights. Then you are surprised to see how vividly you recall the little things that made a college something more, that made it really Alma Mater. There was your Freshman year when you were one of the members in that largest of classes ever to enroll at Boston College in September, 1941. After a week ' s orientation, you started the ac ademic year with the Mass of the Holy Ghost. Then came your first formal classes in college. You wandered around the Gothic-studded campus in bewildered, traditionally gullible amazement. What was it all going to be like? Well, you soon found out it wasn ' t going to be all orientation. Your high school minds were shocked at first by confusing titles of text books given you by your professors, such frightening tomes as Horace ' s Ars Poetica or the works of Demosthenes. Yes, it looked as though you ' d have to buckle down and become the grind you ' d always threatened to be but somehow never quite became. Your interest in college life was supple- mented by extra-curricula activities — debating, Stylus, Heights, the Academies, the Sodalities, and many, many others. But this was the time of year for football and you went to Fenway Park to watch Denny Meyers put the team through the T formation in a manner that brought praise and admiration to a team that, if not great, at least showed that next year — well, the other fellows would soon know the answer to that. Your own Freshman team showed the stuff it was made of, too, and beat St. John ' s Prep with a convincing score. After the game there were movies in the auditorium and the Freshman banquet in T-100 at which the humor of Swede Nelson provided food for conversation for many a day following in the cafeteria. And, say, what about those hectic, bustling lunch periods at the caf when you didn ' t know whose lunch you were eating but were too busy arguing or debating to care? You also thought of those horrible exam weeks and just lived to see the day your last quarterly was finished safely (you hoped). Who were the fellows you chose for class officers? Oh sure. You remembered Ed. Mc- Mahon, your President, and Francis Duggan, the Vice-President, with Arthur Quilty and Bill Gartland as Treasurer and Secretary. Weren ' t those campaigns a panic though? After football season came December and winter and Pearl Harbor. But you got over the initial shock and decided to work even harder to make it tough for those Japs when you had to go. December also brought with it the Christmas vacation which looked like heaven from where you stood. But, as with every rose there are thorns, you had a thesis to do over your rest period. Can ' t let the old bean get rusty you know. Small danger of that ! January began a new year and your second semester. But there was a change. The college was now on an accelerated program and your Freshman year was to close in April. The phrase c ' est la guerre was in vogue everywhere and nowhere more appropriately than at the Heights. Vacation in the usual manner was out. hnRWfl(l The winter months melted into early spring and found you studying away for Finals. One week of hell which was topped off by a brief glimpse of Paradise. You took your glamour girl of the moment to the Georgian Room of the Statler for your Freshman dance. Well, you were through with Frosh — one quarter of your college career completed and you were still asking for more. What sort of answer would your Sophomore year give you? SOPHOMORE The Freshman year ended, you stepped right into your Sophomore year at the Heights in May, 1942. The brief vacation was variously spent work- ing, semi-working, or just loafing. So once more on the first week of September, you trudged back up the hill from Lake St. and saw again the Heights. Their Gothic spires did something to you in spite of the fact that you were now a college man and not supposed to be soft or sen- timental. The old catch in your throat was there no matter how hard you tried to get rid of it ; did you really want to, after all ? A general shaking of familiar sun-tanned hands, fewer, true, than were there in June, and a bobbing of heads just regaining their hair after summer butches — all crowded toward the Library for the Mass which once more blessed the start of the year ' s work. And you were going to work. This was war and good marks were an assurance of a commission or at least rapid pro- motion in the armed services. But the war hadn ' t completely spoiled the old B.C. tradition. You still had the best team in the history of the Heights. Before many games, each with a sensational victory, had been played there was hardly a person who hadn ' t heard of Mike Holovak, Eddie Doherty, and Don Curri- van. Our own class had several prospective greats in Red Mangene, Johnny Killelea, Ed Fiorentino and plenty of others. And who can forget the victory dances at the Vendome and under the Tower? This was the year when the Eagle screamed victoriously in every encounter until one fateful day in November when the score of 55 to 12 remained inexplicable until a few hours later a dreadful holocaust destroyed the Cocoanut Grove, taking almost 500 people along with it. You went to Father Vaughan ' s Religion class and heard about the inscrutable machinations of Di- vine Providence. God had not deserted the men from the Heights after all. Between classes in Rhetoric with Barney Gavin and French with Andre you somehow found time to elect class officers. You chose Charlie Rogers, President, John Havlin, Vice President, with Jack Cuniff, Bill Oliver and Alex McLean. You had a new Freshman-Sophomore Dean, Fr. Mulcahy, S.J., replacing Fr. Foley, S.J., who went off to war as Navy Chaplain. Your books seemed to be getting larger and more abstract — Boaz, Hyma, and Slosson re- placed Stevenson in Mr. Mahoney ' s History course, and the stress on Math and Sciences was greater than ever. Many honors and distinctions of nationwide scope came to rest in the Eagle ' s aerie that year. You saw Mike and Don make almost everyone ' s Ail-American list and Colonel Homulo from the Philippines spoke to you. But it was a letter, a beautifully simple letter that brought the greatest, most enduring credit to the Jesuit College on the Hill. Commander Shea ' s advice to his son will not soon be forgotten by B.C. men or Catholics anywhere. Fridays still found the same mob of be- wildered Freshmen and omniscient upperclassmen milling around the counter of the caf yelling complex orders of blacks and whites, and Gimme a ' beer ' , Sully, or Ice the apple, Ed. And then the mad dash for the Heights which you avidly devoured along with your egg salad or tuna fish sandwich. The Stylus was still coming out too and you discovered that it was really quite interesting and not just arty and ab- struse, a journal in which the conceited, embry- onic literati could vaunt their learned conceptions of functionalism and their stilted sonnets of clas- sic Miltonic structure. If you had any problems about working after school or were even vaguely thinking of it you immediately thought of Miss Mullin or George Donaldson and you were never turned away unsatisfied. You thanked them then, al- though their aid can ' t ever be fully repaid, your gratitude was enough for them. Blue books were everywhere in evidence late in October and you thought it a peculiar time to be taking mid-years. You left one exam, you just had time to smoke a cigarette and get two more blue books for a nickel at Ed ' s bookstore, and then, you were back taking another exam in Physics or English. On New Year ' s Day you listened to the B.C.- Alabama game at the Orange Bowl, and even though defeated, you still called the Eagles the best team in the country. You crawled up the icy hill from Lake St. on the coldest winter mornings in years and many a man went to St. Elizabeth ' s Hospital to be treated for frostbite. You were caught throw- ing a few snowballs and an austere priest referred you to the college rules for deportment on the campus. You felt as though you had just finished with mid-years and here were the February finals plaguing you with sleepless nights of cramming, cups of black coffee, and raw throats from smok- ing too much to keep awake. With red-swollen eyes, you groped your way into S4 and took exams that threatened you with scholastic ob- livion that miraculously somehow didn ' t material- ize. With a whole week ' s respite, you were ready to start your Junior year wondering if you or Herb or Jake would be allowed to graduate. JUNIOR Your Junior year began in the middle of the winter when normally you would be entering the last half of your Sophomore. There was some- thing different about registering this year from registering for your Frosh and Sophomore years. The thing of immediate importance was to find out in which section the fates had placed you. Would you have Father Harding, Father Lowe, Father Coyne, or would Father Flaherty be the professor to initiate you into the intricacies of Scholastic Philosophy. You hoped that Father Flaherty wouldn ' t be as tough as his reputation, but then, you ' d have to make the best of it. You had also your electives to contend with, courses that would stand you in good stead with the inevitable armed services and that would also fit in with your major. Of course, all the History and Government majors and lots of others too, chose one of Harry Doyle ' s courses to mix humor with erudition. The college initi- ated a new language course, Portuguese, with Father George Smith, S.J., as professor. Those who stalled off a science until this year were meeting Father Tobin, S.J., in the Physics lab and others were laboring over the fundamentals of Navigation under the expert and friendly guid- ance of Father O ' Donnell, S.J. The pre-meds were keeping the labs open all hours of the night and day in traditional fashion. Mr. Mahoney gave a course in Politics of the Pacific which was as interesting as it was timely. Your classes kept you pretty busy but when- ever the occasion demanded, the social urge was vented royally and the few spring dances were memorable affairs. The dance which marked the leave of many in the Army Reserve was a sad occasion, for already your class had been ravaged by the demands of war. The largest Freshman class was fated to be among the smallest when graduation rolled around. The days were growing warmer and the trees on the campus blossomed forth to enhance even more the austere majesty of the Gothic buildings on the .Heights. Cuts were few and precious now since in missing one class you missed as much subject matter as if you had cut twice in previous years. The grind was getting you down and the prospect of those few weeks vacation, short as it was, seemed a gift from the gods. But as the time for vacation approached, so did your first semester exams in Philosophy. Cramming was once more the order of the day, or the night before the exam. Exams over, you had another farewell dance in the form of a Junior Prom held at the Statler and then a glorious sendoff to all was held in the form of a Moonlight Dance at the Liggett Estate to bid fond adieu to those leaving for the Navy and Marine Reserves. B.C. was strongly repre- sented at Tufts, Dartmouth Holy Cross, Brown, Yak-, and Villanova, Your short vacation consumed, you came back to the Heights on the first week oi August and looked forward to a semester of sweat and study. But that August wasn ' t as hot as most and some of the professors even had pity on you, giving you slightly less homework which allowed you a few hours every week-end at the beach to keep your slight tan from vanishing completely. There were left in your Junior Class some thirty fellows and so all the Philosophy and Re- ligion classes were conducted under the expert tutelage of Fathers Harding and Douglas. Fr. Harding, S.J., plied our maturing minds with Cosmology and Ontology, taxing our mental ability and agility with an attempt (frequently vain) to grasp Duns Scotus in translation. Fr. Burke, S.|., cleared a great many minds of prob- lems concerning contemporary government and politics but unfortunately demanded all that eru- dition returned in complex and perplexing ex- aminations. The pre-meds were still at it with books bearing forbidding titles under their arms. English majors were widening their general edu- cation by taking copious notes in Father Finnegan ' s American History course. The scien- tists and mathematicians were, as usual, burning out their eyes over Physics, Chemistry, and higher Mathematics. An informal football team did amazingly well, beating each of its opponents by crushing scores and tying its last and most important team, Harvard, in a game that drew a capacity crowd which saw a renewal of competition on the B jJ[ffi3 Ess - ' gridiron that had been severed for all too many years. The Heights and Stylus were still functioning and all the Sodalities had merged to form one. The Fulton plodded steadily onward as well. Winter approached, finding you and your fellow grinds plugging away for another set of finals. They seemed never to cease; but now you were getting ready for the final cycle in your college career. With a brief rest of a few days you were all set to start your Senior year wonder- ing if even all of the few left would be around when Commencement week began. SENIOR Well, you were a Senior, the kingpin of the campus. It had looked a long way off when you were a lowly, befuddled Frosh but now that you had arrived , you marvelled that the time passed so quickly. But then you guessed that every Senior must feel the same way at such a time. Most of the thirty or so Juniors had re- mained to go on to their last year, but a few had left either for the Army or Navy and lots of others were staying on borrowed time. In order to let the Sophomores catch up so that Junior and Senior electives could be taken together, an accelerated (!) program of Philoso- phy and Religion was introduced, a semester ' s work to be accomplished in one quarter. If you thought you had worked before you found that you were a literal slave to the books for the next few months. Fr. O ' Brien, S.J., conducted the Ethics class in his usual humorous but instructive manner, while Fr. Douglas, S.J., took you and the other thirty in hand for the Religion classes. Fr. McCarthy, S.J., drilled the basic principle being is being, not being is not being, and being is not not-being . From the amount of work given they must have thought you were the Superman Nietzsche ranted about. Whenever you got a free moment, you found plenty of good company and usually walked into the middle of a lively debate in the Senior Room. There was always something cooking in that con- servative rendezvous, usually someone ' s lunch. Everything from Fr. Douglas ' s Marriage course to who was playing at the Totem Pole this week was discussed. The year had not progressed very far when you were busy trying to decide who your class officers were going to be. The final choice was approved by everyone; who could better fill the duties of President than Joseph Cancelliere, the Vice-Presidency than Joe Cavan with Ed Cash- man as Secretary and Tom McEntee, Treasurer? Well, the first quarter went by rapidly and you found yourself bogged down with another set of mid-years. At least you had variety in your schedule, for electives were then resumed. It had been quite a while since the college had had any social life so you were quite cheered by the prospect of a dance to be given by the Seniors under the Towers. The undoubted success of the affair showed the incoming Freshman (those who went) that B. C. was not all business. You still knew how to break loose at the right time. After the many months that the A.S.T.P. had spent on the campus you had grown quite used to seeing the khaki around and when the time came for them to leave you really missed them. The college seemed so much smaller with- out their added numbers in the redecorated cafe- teria. You were drawing pretty close to the home- stretch. Just a matter of weeks before Commence- ment. It is pleasant to look back on college days and find that you ' ll really miss the old place in spite of all the sweat and toil it caused you. Boston College had given you the best in educa- tion. It had also given you something perhaps equally important — wonderful memories. Shakes- peare has said it so well that no improvement can be made: Parting is such sweet sorrow. Already you were looking forward to a reunion of the Alumni after all this war business was over. BERNARD FRANCIS BRADY, JR., A.B. (Honors) 186 Arborway, Jamaica Plain, Mass.

A Math course called Vector Analysis is Frank ' s greatest academic interest. Between classes he passes the time crooning the latest song or calmly discussing implications of the latest thesis in Psychology. Although he seems to be credulous, he makes a pretense of naivete.

When Vin is not at some English Lit class or standing at the helm of the good ship Sub Turri , he can usually be found acting as an important cog in the nation ' s transport system.

Our president ably upheld the dignity of his office by attending winter classes in an officious looking, long black coat. Joe took the shouts of undertaker good-naturedly, offering to bury any- one who so desired. He gets his fresh air by a few hours of fast basketball after gym periods.

Ed merits the admiration of the procrastinator ' s club by his methodical and untiring attention to studies through which he is able to produce each assignment on the appointed day. The budding doctor supplements an Histology course with an hour or two in the Organic lab. each week. JOSEPH DANIEL CAVAN, A.B. (Honors) 1 1 Colby St., Haverhill, Mass.

Joe is custodian of the principle of Identity and Contradiction in Father McCarthy ' s Philosophy class. He divides the rest of his time between the Alternating Currents lab. and the basketball court. His agility on the latter evokes the praise of Mr. Conroy.

Tom has flaming red hair and he frequently blushes the same color but, for all that, behind a rather bashful demeanor is an industrious and conscientious student. His energy at present is con- centrated on the exhausting task of following Mr. Marcou in his ethereal wanderings through the world of number.

St. John XVII 17-19 M N A R A N Boston ( ollege has long been proud of its constantly excellent contribution to the service of God. Each year a goodly number of her students and graduates - their vocations fostered by the inspiring care of Alma Mater — abandon the pleasures of the world to follow Christ. While most of the men of the Class of 1945 have gone into armed conflict to fight for the Four Freedoms, several have left to become lead- ers of the soldiers of Christ. Noble is their ambition, great is their love. Although their train- ing will be severe, their self-denial difficult, we know they have the necessary requisites for the beautiful life they have chosen. We who remain feel the sad loss of our classmates who are scat- tered throughout the world pitting their lives against the forces of hate, but we are solaced in the joyful knowledge that some of our number are living the doctrine of Christian love, prepar- ing to go forth and teach all nations the way to eternal life. When the fury of the present war is spent and our classmates now fighting return to the occupations of civilian life, we will be well rep- resented in the fields of Medicine, Law, Science, and Art to the honor of Alma Mater. Then, too, those now training in the seminaries, the portion of our class that is dedicated completely and ex- clusively to God, will be ready to fulfill their priestly duties, to the glory of God and Boston College. The Class of 1945 is justly proud of these seminarians whom it knew as fellow members, studied with as classmates, and admired as men of God. It is happy to salute those of its number who aspire to be priests of God forever. B.C. AT ST. JOHN ' S SEMINARY JOHN BERUBE 700 Metropolitan Ave. Hyde Park, Mass.

Yannaco • A T V T SODALITY Here at Boston College, the Sodality ranks first among the extra-curricular activities. It is dedicated to the Immaculate Conception and each Sodalist calls upon Mary to be his patroness and protectoress. She serves as a model of purity to every man at the College, but especially to those who wish to sanctify their life and carry on the work of Catholic Action. Special steps are taken before one is a full- fledged Sodalist and each step has a special cere- mony attached to it. First, you are received as a postulant whereby you put yourself under Mary ' s protection beseeching her to intercede for you with her Son for the grace to do His will. Some- time later at a solemn and impressive ceremony the postulant promises to be faithful to Mary his Queen and is vested with the Miraculous Medal. During the month of May a series of talks are given by the members of the Sodality on the various titles of Our Blessed Lady and what they should mean to us as Catholic College men. In the past few years members of the Sodal- ity welcomed famous educators as guests. Among them were Bishop Henry Yu-Pin, of Nanking, China, Father J. F. X. Murphy of Boston College, and Father Murphy of the White Fathers of Africa. Respectively, they spoke to appreciative audiences about the conditions in China, the life of St. Patrick, and the work of the White Fathers in the various parts of Africa. Father Alexander Duncan served as a very capable Moderator of the Sodality for some years. At present, the beloved Father James L. Mc- Govern is serving as Faculty Moderator and is working zealously for its continued success. FULTDJV One of the foremost activities at Boston College is the Fulton Debating Society. The most patriotic venture of the Fulton since the begin- ning of hostilities was the U.S.O. debate held in May, 1943, wherein the justification of Eire neu- trality was argued. The most novel of the recent intercollegiate debates was the Fulbright debate on post-war planning. The debaters for the affirmative, Donald White and James O ' Donnell, valiantly defended the issue against two very charming young ladies from Providence College. Those in attendance at this debate will long remember the truculent way each debater persevered to the end. Most heralded debate was the winter debate held at Norfolk when the right of strike during wartime was argued. Herein the Eagles were rep- resented by Anthony Laurano, Roger Collette, and Thomas Colbert, who defended the right of strike, while the Norfolk opposition defended its aboli- tion. Although the Fultonites fought hard and fast all the way, they finally succumbed to the slight edge given by the judges to the opposition. The fine welcome, the musical entertainment, and the excellent supper will long be remembered by the B.C. delegates. Men like White, O ' Donnell, Moriarty, Dun- fey, Laurano, Corbett, Colbert, and Collette in the last two years have established enviable records. It is our hope that the oncoming classes will attain and even excell the lofty heights that this society has established at Boston College. Truly a heritage to be cherished and upheld in the true B.C. spirit. MARDUETTE One of the most important activities that is open to the College Freshmen-Sophomores is the Marquette Debating Society. The aim of the Mar- quette has always been to polish the abilities of those who have had debating experience in high- school and to train those who have never had the opportunity to enter into the field of public speaking. And so it is that now, as in the p ast, the Society is producing men of the highest cali- ber in the field of forensic oratory. This year, the Marquette, under the capable leadership of Bill Connolly, the President, and Father Geary, the Faculty Moderator, has con- tinued to operate under adverse conditions. De- bates have been of the interclass type — in which such important questions as the Building of the Arabian pipeline , The question of Irish neu- trality , and Should the President seek a fourth term and many others of present day interest have been discussed. STYLUS War came to the Heights three years ago, yet it wasn ' t until recently that the full effects were felt by the literary publication of Boston College, the Stylus. In 1 942 the Stylus received the award of Ail- American, top place in the National Scholastic Press Association ' s annual competition. In 1943 the Stylus received further honors in the form of an award title of All-Catholic in the annual com- petition of the Catholic Press Association. These awards are indications of the literary progress which was made in wartime by the Stylus. After the peak productions of Joe Dever in ' 4l- ' 42, Tom Heath took over the reins of the magazine to turn out almost single-handed the first four issues of the ' 42- ' 43 volume. In March of 1943 the control of the magazine was turned over to a staff headed by Ronald Dunfey as Managing Editor, and a literary board consisting of Ed Doherty, Walter Morris and Weston Jenks. At the beginning of the fall term of 1943, Ronald Dunfey as Editor began a wartime policy of putting out a three-issue volume. The first number of this came out in the winter of 1944 and kept up the design and literary standar ds of former issues. While its activities have been seriously cramped by a wartime budget, every hope is en- tertained that the Stylus will have weathered the most serious days of the war and will continue in operation as one of the leading collegiate literary publications of the country.

McEntee Hardly before it had recovered from the shock of reaching Senior a year ahead of schedule, the Class of 1945 was faced with the problem of financing, editing, and publishing a Sub Turri in half the usual time. Ordinarily, the publication is a great task, but this year, time, inexperience, high wartime costs, to mention a few details, complicated and magnified the usual difficulties. Still, the untiring efforts of all the members of the few remaining Seniors made it possible for the Class of 1945 to have its own Sub Turri. Out of a handful of inexperienced men, Vin Burns, Ed Desaulniers, and Jack Hogan were chosen to direct the production of the year book. Their work met with all kinds of obstacles which were sur- mounted only with difficulty. After days and nights of sweating out copy, hours of gathering, editing and placing copy, preparing engravings, checking proofs, doing the thousand little things an Annual requires, the nightmarish deadline was met and the 1945 Sub Turri became a reality. THE HEIGHTS The Heights is still marching on in spite of war and the scarcity of men and material. Al- though the issues come out biweekly (barring weeks of examinations and holidays), it is still the same old story on Fridays — the copies are snatched up by the student body and avidly read from cover to cover until the news is exhausted and the print is worn off. It is the one source of joy that the servicemen eagerly await, for it fol- lows them all over the globe to keep them in touch with their old Alma Mater. This year, under the leadership of Editor Ed Desaulniers, the Heights has strived to keep up the high fidelity of the great editions of the past The Editor has been nobly assisted by Paul Daw son, News Editor; Frank Donovan, Feature Edi tor; Ed Shea, Sports Editor; Jim Sullivan, Circu lation ; Jack Hogan, Business Manager; Frank- Brady, Vinnie Burns, Joe Cavan, Ronnie Dunfey Paul O ' Neil, Joe Cancelliere, Jack Nee, and the Sophomore Layout Editor, Henry Francis. CROSS and CRDWIV At most colleges it is customary to honor the better students by enrolling them in the college honor society and so it is at Boston College. Here, we have the Cross and Crown, a society instituted by Dean Maxwell a few years ago to render tribute to those men who have proved themselves to be true sons of their Alma Mater. Admission to this Society requires that the applicant maintain an average of eighty percent in his studies during the first three years of his college career, be a member of the Junior Sodali- ty, and that he attain at least nine points in extra- curricular activities. This year, due to the decreased enrollment of the College, there is not the usual large num- ber of honor students who would ordinarily have gained admission to the Society, for many of the best have gone to serve their country. The above four men are those whom Boston College deemed worthy of admission to the Society. l ' HE-MEDICAL SEMIMH In 1934, the late Father Dofe, S.J., brought into existence the Pre-Med Seminar for all those wishing to further their education along medical lines. Today, although it is one of the most ob- scure undergraduate organizations at Boston Col- lege, under the direction of Fr. Walsh it is one of the most exclusive and constructive clubs of all time. Its purpose is to acquaint those in the pre- medical course with various pseudo-doctrines and practices with which the medical profession is flooded today. Throughout the year, the Modera- tor endeavored at the weekly meeting to illustrate- clearly the evils of the many malpractices of modern medicine. Most important of all lectures were those on abortion, sterilization and contraception. In these, the Catholic attitude is presented so that the members might equip themselves with weapons to combat the adversaries of Christian morality. Thus, when they go forth into the medical world, they will be able to prove that they are true Catholics and real Boston College men. THE A. S. T. P. ' ' ' i f Like many other colleges and universities throughout the country, Boston College was chosen to train, scholastically and physically, some 400 men in the Army Specialized Training Pro- gram. They were quartered in St. Mary ' s Hall which the Jesuits graciously ceded to them. Those who qualified for the A. S. T. P. had received 115 or better in the Army Classification list, besides meeting other rigid requirements. The facilities of the College, both academic and athletic, were advantageously employed to supplement the education of the soldiers en- trusted to the College ' s care. Although in the classroom the A. S. T. P. students were under the supervision of the faculty at University Heights, they were under full military discipline once outside of class. The military students arrived on the campus on July 26, 1943, and almost immediately after their installation in St. Mary ' s Hall, classes began for them on the 9th day of August. Classes, how- ever, did not constitute the entire relationship between student and professor, both priest and layman. The Army students frequently sought the advice of the faculty on many and varied ques- tions, which did much to disperse the erroneous opinions many of the non-Catholic students had entertained about our faith and practices. The classes in religion (no: exclusively Catholic) con- ducted by Fr. Douglas, S.J., were incredibly popu- lar with all the students. Major John R. Canavan was the commander of the Unit, and was assisted by three lieutenants. The Major ' s unusual abilities as a leader ac- counted in great measure for the success of the Unit at B.C. The A. S. T. P. Unit was divided into two groups: first, those who took the Basic Engineer- ing Course; and second, those who were in the Foreign Area and Language Group. The pro- gram of the students was a strict and studious one. They rose at six-thirty and were in class at eight in the morning, a fact that aroused the sin- cere sympathy of the more fortunate civilian stu- dents who thought themselves dreadfully incon- venienced by having to start at nine in the morning instead of the traditional nine-twenty. The Army ' s classes continued until noon when MAJOR JOHN R. CAN A VAN they broke to have lunch. From one-twenty to five-twenty there were either more classes or pre- scribed studies. Dinner at six-thirty marked the end of classes for the day which were supple- mented by study from seven-forty to ten with taps at ten-thirty. From noon on Saturday until ten-thirty Sunday night, the soldier ' s time was his own to do with as he willed and to go wher- ever he wished, provided of course, he had that oh, so necessary pass. It certainly was unusual to see uniformed men on University Heights, marching across the campus in military array on the way to class. Most of the civilian students had heard stories of World War I at the Heights when the College trained men for service in the Student Army Training Corps; and now history was repeating itself. When the students of Boston College learned that an A. S. T. P. Unit had been assigned for training to University Heights, they eagerly antici- pated having classes made more cosmopolitan in viewpoint by the addition of men from all over the country. Unfortunately, they were disappointed in this hope. The authorities, both of the Army and the College, felt that because of the special courses and special purposes of the A. S. T. P. required by Government regulation, it would not be practical to conduct classes of mixed civilian and army students. The main obstacle was the time limit set on the army courses. Nevertheless, many of the students and soldiers became well acquainted, and the relations between civilian and army stu- dents were very cordial. At almost any hour of the day, you could enter the cafeteria and find it well filled with khaki-clad students supplementing their G.I. ra- tions with Sully ' s delicious frappes and sandwiches, and discussing important world problems, marks, professors — the usual student talk and the vari- ous excellent (and other) features of Sully ' s coffee. The greater part of the army students were from out of state and had attended schools and colleges in different states. Comparisons of New England colleges with other institutions of higher learning provided excellent material for many an informa- tive and lively discussion. Both sides benefited from these conversations and a broader, more cos- mopolitan outlook developed among all students, for they found that beneath the multiple accents in which the A.S.T.P. students expressed their ideas, WORLD WAR I AT THE HEIGHTS there was a natural sympathy and harmony of in- terest that should rightly characterize the makeup of all educated Americans. The physical side of the A.S.T.P. students ' education was undertaken by our capable instructor, Mr. John Conroy. With his unusual verve and enthusiasm, he soon taught the boys to enjoy the hours of physical education and they became as enthusiastic as he in performing the required calisthenics. The physical education periods of strenuous exercises were supplemented by softball, baseball, football, track, soccer, tennis, and almost every conceivable kind of field game, so that the hard-working army students had a variety of en- joyable and healthful relaxations. In other respects, too, the army students were made welcome on the campus. They were invited to participate in school activities and they had their own column, G.I. GUYS, in the college newspaper. Every week in the Heights the army students could read choice tidbits of barracks gos- sip and all the news of special interest to them. Several dances and entertainments were held under the tower for these men, under the auspices of various Catholic groups, so that even the social atmosphere proper to college life was not missed by them. All of the military students had in their read- ing learned of the ancient fame and historical im- portant possessed by Boston and surrounding towns ; and so, since the fortunes of war had placed them in a favorable position, they seized the op- portunity to view as much of historical Boston as possible. They discovered that Boston had fine features other than Baked Beans and the Boston accent. They found the city cordial and friendly in the warm reception and constant welcome it offered to them and all servicemen. The fondest memories which the A.S.T.P. men will keep are, of course, connected with their brief but memorable stay at Boston College, which they found a small but beautiful and excellent university. They learned through the dignified conducting of intense and worthwhile courses and by dint of the great amount of academic work they had to do in order to keep up with their classes, that Boston College ranked among the very first academically, and that the reputation it has made and is making for itself is more than deserved. This, coming as it did from the lips of experienced outsiders, was a great compliment to the faculty, students, and alumni of Boston College. The A. S. T. P. was reduced greatly by Act of Congress, and by April 1st the College was scheduled to release the many Army students whose presence had by then become quite a customary and pleasant fact in the wartime life of the College. The week of March 20th saw the A. S. T. P. students leaving by the bus-load for the South Station to depart for places unknown. Although their stay had been brief, the impression made by Uncle Sam ' s forces on the College was such that it can only be hoped the rest of the colleges were as beneficially aided in a period of scholastic distress. Neither can it be denied that the College had made a profound impression on those fellows who had come from all over the country to train for the Army. Many of them had heard of Boston College only insofar as the reputation of its great football teams had reached the many corners of the United States. Judging from the comments of the A.S.T.P. students, this aspect of the Heights was only one of its really great attrac- tions and not the best by any means. They dis- covered that the excellent name the Jesuits had made for themselves as educators was very well merited. In fact, many of them expressed the de- sire to return to the Heights after the war to further their studies in various fields. We can only hope that every one of them so wishing will be able to attain his desire. Sweep down the field for Boston Marching on to Glory, Forward Fighting Eagles, Carry home the Spoils of Victory. A T H T MAZNICKI LOOKS FOR A RECEIVER FOOTBALL A new football era began at Boston College in the fall of 1941, when the T formation was inaugurated at the Heights under the tutelage of a new head coach, Denny Meyers. The difficulties of installing a new system were encountered and overcome with the result that the Eagles, playing a schedule composed of some of the finest teams in the country, acquitted themselves with creditable success. When the final whistle blew, the season ' s record showed that the B.C. team was victorious in seven of its ten games. The Eagles soared over such teams as George- town, Temple, Wake Forest and Holy Cross, but three teams from below the Mason and Dixon line proved to be stumbling blocks. The high point of the season came when the Crusaders from Worcester were defeated in the last minute of play by a score of 14-13. Fellows like Cap- tain Al Morro, Frank Maznicki and Ted Williams were standouts on this team, and will ever remain in our memory. The year ' 42 saw Denny Meyer ' s T forma- tion show to even better advantage. With Eddie Doherty in the quarterback slot and Mike Holo- vak, Mickey Connelly and Red Mangene in the other backfield positions, a well drilled team romped through the first eight games of its schedule without a defeat. But on the last Satur- day in November, when Boston College was hailed as the top team in the country, a startling Holy Cross team came down to Fenway Park and staged a second Boston Massacre. At the end of the game, the scoreboard read 55-12 in favor of the Crusaders. Despite their defeat in the final game of the season, the Orange Bowl Committee considered the Eagles ' record worthy of recognition and in- vited them to play in the New Year ' s Day classic at Miami. The invitation was accepted and the opposition was provided by the University of Alabama. On the third play of the afternoon, Mike Holovak broke loose around left end for a touchdown and a few minutes later he scored another touchdown on the same play; thus Boston College led 14-0. But the Eagles had given their all in this initial effort and had nothing left, so that from there on Alabama was the superior team on the field. And when the sun set on the first day of 1943, Boston College was on the short end of a 37-21 score and the season ' s record read eight wins and two defeats. With the arrival of the fall of 1943, there was no varsity football call because there was only one former varsity player left on the cam- pus. Of the coaching staff, only line coach Amer- ino Sarno was available. To be sure, the football outlook was very gloomy, but because of a con- stant demand on the part of the student body for some kind of football, John Curley arranged an Informal schedule. The opening game with Camp Hingham, which was a memorial to former coach Frank Cavanaugh, took place at Fenway Park. This en- counter with the Army team was to be a test of the ability of the unknown Informals. It was a roaring success, for the B.C. team, under the lead- ership of veteran Eddie Doherty, literally rolled over the boys from Hingham by a score of 42-6. In the second game of the schedule, Brooklyn College opposed the Eagles and received no better treatment than their predecessors. The final score was 33-6, and again it was Eddie Doherty who sparked the attack. The Rome Army Air Base team was the next victim for the Eagles and this time the score was 60-0. The big game of the season for Boston Col- lege came on November twentieth, when the team took the field against the crimson clad men of Nf « GIVE IT TO MIKE CURRIVAN SCORES AGAINST THE CROSS Harvard at the stadium. There were 45,000 peo- ple in attendance at the huge colosseum to watch the first athletic contest between the two schools in twenty-four years. In the first half, the teams marched up and down the field, throwing passes with abandon and playing wide open football, but neither was able to score. Early in the second half, Ed Doherty was hurt and had to be replaced by Charlie McCoy, the Freshman substitute quarterback. This seemed at first to practically eliminate B.C. ' s chances of winning, but then Mr. McCoy started to perform. He proved himself a real sparkplug and twice drove the Eagles deep into Harvard territory. But each time the drive was thwarted. Then, with the ball on the Harvard 40 yard line early in the fourth quarter, Eddie Doherty re- turned to the game and in six plays Boston Col- lege had its touchdown. Bill Morro covered the last ten yards for the score after receiving a shovel pass from Doherty. The stands were roar- ing as Bill Morro missed the conversion try. Immediately upon receiving the kickoff, the Crimson made a sustained drive down the field and with but a few minutes remaining in the game had a fourth down on the Boston College two yard line. Then Paul Perkins, the Harvard fullback, charged into the line, and when all the players were disentangled, he had scored by inches. The conversion try was missed and the score was tied 6-6. That was how it ended. Thus, the Informal season closed with Bos- ton College undefeated. The only undefeated civilian team in the country. The lineup that opposed Harvard was as follows: Don Shea Bill McCarthy Wally Fitzgerald George Donelan Pete Boleyko Bill McCarthy Dave Hoar Ed Doherty Jim Cahill Dave Aznavorian Bill Morro Left End Left Tackle Left Guard Center Right Guard Right Tackle Right End Quarterback Left Halfback Right Halfback Fullback Such were the results of the football under- takings of Les Eagles during the past three sea- sons. But there is another fact which belongs in the historical records of the football endeavors of our class, and that is the fact that every mem- ber of our class who was on the 1942 football squad went into the armed forces. They were Ed Fiorentino, Red Mangene, Bill Boyce, Johnny Killilea, Ed Burns, Vic Palladino, Manny Zissis and Yo-Yo Gianelli. Mangene upon entrance into the Marine Corps was sent to Dartmouth College where he became a halfback on the Indian eleven. Fioren- tino matriculated to Brown University in the Navy V-12 program and became an end on the Brown football squad. His play was so spectacu- lar there, that he was named as a first string end on the All New England team. Killilea and Burns played football at Villanova, being Marine trainees there. And so, Boston College in war as well as in peace has shown itself to be a leader in the world of football. l l PI ™_ p . % M ' 9 §45 .... rjf SIM ' J K HM iL. .Jm Am 1 WBSm iflEI ,jK JL M PL ■ g Esv v ' g ■■ML. ' ' ' 2fl THE SQUAD THAT FACED HARVARD JOHN P. CURLEY Director of Athletics In the belief that no other sport so closely approaches the training necessary for combat serv- ice, last September we decided to teach football to every man in the College who would come out for instruction. With men being called up by the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps almost daily, it was evi- dent that nothing should be left undone to pre- pare them physically and mentally for war. The necessary attributes of a soldier, namely discipline, courage, skill, agility, endurance, and team play are also necessary in football and it was our thought that by teaching football we could shorten the time spent by the Army in condition- ing our men. The compulsory Physical Training Program has been of great value in this connection and we know that Boston College men have been in good shape when they have reported for duty. There is no doubt that colleges have saved a great deal of money and time for the country by this addition to their programs. We were most fortunate in having Moody Sarno, who was an assistant coach under Denny Meyers, available. Sarno deserves unlimited credit for the fine coaching of the team and for his leadership both on and off the field. With only Eddie Doherty left from ' 42, and with a small inexperienced group from which to select, he molded a smooth-working, hard-hitting team that mastered the T formation to everyone ' s surprise and complete satisfaction. After three easy vic- tories, the team ended the season by tying Har- vard 6-6 in a great exhibition at the Stadium. Forty-four thousand people, the largest crowd to see a game in New England during the season, left the scene with the hope that the contest was the forerunner of many more to come. The Varsity Club gave the team the usual football dinner at the Statler and in recognition of their efforts the Athletic Council awarded the players the regular football B . John Curlev TRACK One of the greatest contributors to the im- mortality of Boston College is Coach Jack Ryder, under whose tutelage such outstanding men as Gil Dodds and Herb McKenley have come to the fore. Normally, Coach Ryder would have had many more track enthusiasts, but the war called away such promising speedsters as John Killelea, Ed Kelleher, and Jack McCarthy — and so what we lacked in quantity, Coach Ryder made up for in quality. Ryder is one of the greatest track coaches of all time and he has developed many outstanding runners and record-holders. He has been Coach of the United States Olympic teams in years past, he has created the speed and style of such men as Gil Dodds, and he has found a niche for many a man in Boston College ' s Sports Hall of Fame. His coaching genius is incomparable. The most outstanding member of the track team is Herb McKenley, who achieved the heights of his career in the summer of 1943 at Harvard Stadium, when he flew over the 440 course to steal the show from Sweden ' s great Gunder Hagg. Herb is a native Jamaican who lived all his life in the West Indies before coming north to Boston College. Before coming to the Heights, Herbie was crowned champion sprinter of the Jamaicas, and was recognized everywhere as a potential successor to the great Jesse Owens. Since Herb has forsaken the sultry climate of Jamaica for the chilly New England weather, he has lived at Cardinal O ' Connell Hall on the Lig- gett Estate — and he has been the greatest sports figure on the campus in the past year. Eligible tracksters were at a premium in 1943, and by the time 1944 rolled around Coach Ryder found himself limited to a very few. Herb McKenley and Ralph King were to form the backbone of the team, and they really were re- markable. In March, Herbie won the New Eng- land A. A. A. 600 yard run; while at the same meet, Ralph King established a name for him- self as a dashman by setting a mark of 4.6 seconds in the 40 yard dash. In addition to being out- standing individualists on the track team, both McKenley and King were members of Coach Ryder ' s terrific relay team. In early February of 1944, the Boston College relay team topped the Holy Cross squad. Heightsmen on the team were Ralph King, Herb McKenley, Joe McDavitt, and Joe McNulty in the anchor position. The Eagles finished a good thirty or thirty-five yards ahead of the Crusaders. Although wounded by the war, Alma Mater at least has had this consolation — that her ac- complishments have always been plentiful and that her sons still recognize the meaning of true sportsmanship. McKENLEY STRIDES TO VICTORY BASEBALL This great world conflict has wreaked havoc on all sports activities here at the Heights, but none seems to have suffered more than baseball. In the spring of 1942, Coach Fred Maguire re- ceived his first disappointment when the graduat- ing Seniors hung up their spikes and gloves in what would ordinarily have been merely the con- clusion of their third college year. Not only did graduation affect the ranks of first-string players, but many of the eligible ball players at the Heights left Alma Mater to answer their coun- try ' s call. Neveriheless, Fred Maguire managed to mold together a smooth-working nine which clinched the local collegiate title and enjoyed a very successful season. The Heightsmen faced such powerful clubs as Fordham, Providence, Seton Hall, and Holy Cross, and with the capable assistance of Bob Lynch, Don O ' Brien, and Salty Martin the Boston College Eagles suffered only five setbacks. At the close of the season, Coach Maguire and indeed all others agreed that this would be the last team that Boston College would be able to field for the duration. However, the baseball spirit prevailed, and when Fred sent out the first call in 1943, a great many enthusiastic candidates applied for first- string positions. The team started out remarkably well, winning four stra ; ght games and making a fine impression in an exhibition game with the Boston Red Sox. With Lanoue at first, Killory at second, Saunders at third, Dickensheid at short, and Sorgi, Kinneavy, Luizzo, and Ed Burns in the outfield, the Eagles defeated Northeastern, Boston University, and Amherst. Then the Bee- Cees lost Bill Boyce, Bill Byrne, and Bernie Lanoue to the U.S. Army — which resulted in the team ' s going down before such powerful clubs as Fort Devens, New Hampshire, and Bos- ton Coast Guard. The Maguiremen 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. In the sixth, Warren De Saulniers came in to toe the mound only to see one run in each of the last three frames cross the platter. In the return game here at Alumni Field, Holy Cross ' O ' Connell blanked the faltering Eagles 11-0. Then in the season ' s finale. Private Bill Boyce helped Fort Devens defeat his former team-mates by a score of 5-2. Warren De Saulniers pitched a great game, but the Army ' s experience was too great. Kinneavy, who finished the season with a .341 average, was perhaps the most outstanding ' 45 man on the team — both defensively and offensively — and big Lou Sorgi with a nifty .312 followed close behind. THIS YEARS INFORMAL HOCKEY SQUAD HOCKEY This year the Boston College Hockey sextet, following the lead of the football team, played an Informal schedule. No longer were names like Boudreau, Edgeworth, Murphy and Carey to be found in the hockey lineup, but in their place were the names of fellows who never before had participated in the ice game at the Heights. Under the guidance of a new coach, Mr. Joseph Glavin, S.J., this Informal team, despite their handicaps, played every one of their five games with as much spirit as any of the great B.C. sextets of the past. The initial encounter was with Watertown High, and was a most successful debut, for Les Eagles, completely outplaying their opponents, won by a 5 to 2 score. The first line of Doane, Driscoll, and Flynn contributed four goals and two assists, while Charlie Davis performed un- expectedly well in the B.C. net. In their next three endeavors, the Informal team could not equal their initial success and fell before the Harvard 97 Club, and Newton High School, while tieing the Tufts naval training unit. The big game of the season with Holy Cross was played at the Boston Arena, and it was in this fray, that the Eagles broke a Boston College hockey tradition of never having lost to a Crusa- der team, by being defeated 2 to 1. In a bitterly contested game, as the score indicates, the two famous Jesuit rivals battled through three periods of hard, clean hockey, which saw only the first period produce any scoring. Jack Driscoll scored the first and only B.C. goal one minute after the opening face off, when he took Bill Dolan ' s pass at the blue line and coasted in on the Cross goalie for the score. Mid- way in the period Holy Cross, displaying a beau- tiful passing attack, deadlocked the till al one .ill .uul a lew seionds later stored the winning tally The Eagles tried valiantly to knot up the score. but (heir efforts were continually thwarted by the Crusader defense-men; and when they did break through, their shots lacked the red light power The Cross game marked the end of a brief hockey season in which the Eagle six won one game, tied one, and dropped three. Every Boston ( ollege student knows and appreciates the work thai was done by Mr. Joseph Glavin, S.J.. the Scholastic professor, in molding a finished team out of the inexperienced players. The squad, which was composed of Flynn, lw; Driscoll, c; Dolan. rw; Gaughan, rd ; Mc- Laughlin, Id; and Davis, g, is to be congratulated for keeping hockey alive at B.C. during these times. BASKETBALL Basketball has always occupied a position of informality at Boston College. In wartime this is especially so. Yet in last season ' s competi- tion the Eagle hoopsters met. some of the better court competition in Greater Boston and emerged with a creditable record to boot. After two warm up games with the B.C. High squad, the B.C. team, guided by its Modera- tor-Coach, Fr. Ring, met St. Mary ' s CYO of Cambridge, St. Clement ' s CYO of Somerville, Our Lady ' s of Newton, league leaders in the Catholic Hoop Circuit, and finished the season by beating Cathedral High. Made up almost entirely of Freshmen and Sophomores, the team had little chance to prac- tice except for bi-weekly visits to St. Sebastian ' s Gym in Newton. In spite of this handicap the Eagles showed good form on the court and was one of the best teams at B.C. in recent years. Outstanding guard on the team was Bob Owens of Connecticut, who not only kept the B.C. hoop under guard but also managed to add many points to the B.C. scores by his sensational sharp- shooting from mid-court. Frank Maloney, Walter Dullea, Bill Flaherty, Bill Callahan, Bill Berrigan, and Jack Coady also stood out for Heightsmen. With the appointment of Fr. James Ring, S.J., as new Faculty Moderator of Athletics, basketball may well be entering on its ascendency as a major sport at the Heights. Fr. Ring acted as Moderator-Coach of the team last winter, and through his efforts several outstanding basketball players may have a chance to show their skill when Boston College enters the ranks of official college basketball squads next winter. We have never lacked the men necessary for a good team with such schoolboy stars as Lipka, Zabilski, and Connolly, who played football here. All that we lacked until last winter were the proper facilities for the sport. Next fall may find a new era of athletic history for the college in the field of basketball. PHYSICAL EDUCATION In order to comply with the wishes of the armed forces, Boston College made an addition to its curriculum last year in the form of Physical Education. Every student, who was physically able, enrolled in this course which consisted of outdoor drills, calisthenics and sports. The students were greatly satisfied with this training because of its benefits to bodily health. It became a very familiar sight to see the various classes going through their vigorous dri lls down on Alumni Field. Under the direction of Mr. John Conroy, who himself is in fine physical con- dition, the students would go through the many exercises designed to stretch every muscle in the body. The outstanding event of the course was the reservoir run, which was open to all who wished to participate. The runners began behind the Science Building, raced down the driveway out on to Beacon St., around the small reservoir, back up Beacon St. and up the driveway again to the finish line. The first five to finish were pre- sented medals by Fr. Mulcahy, who took great interest in the event. Although very strict about attendance, Fr. Mulcahy kept Physical Education a normal func- tion, and at the conclusion of the course, all who participated in it were glad that they had done so. Even those who fretted and frowned at the be- ginning, cannot deny that their bodies developed steadily. This, together with the mental develop- ment received in the classroom under their capable professors, most certainly will aid them throughout the battle of life. A T U R yntpocii tii ucuon j, he Feature Section of a year book has tra- ditionally been associated with various forms of insanity. This year there will be no excep- tion to the rule. While it is wartime and peo- ple would have us refrain from laughter, slink down back alleys lest people see that we are still around, and in general, conduct ourselves like purchasers of a form of bootlegged educa- tion, we are quite ready to laugh out with and, if necessary, at the world. For we think that the times we are going through are far too serious for us to be solemn about them. Therefore, we shall record on the next few pages a most delightfully inefficient panorama of our quirks and heresies. While it is up to the historians of the class to recall the nostalgia and the weightiness of our class history, it is for us to reveal the fanaticisms of a class bom and reared in a world gone mad with fanat- icism. The only difference between us and the world is that ive recognize our fanaticisms as such instead of taking them too seriously. Read on then, fair inquisitor, into the life that we lived! If there be any resemblance of sanity in the following pages it is purely un- intended and the product of fortuitous concur- rence.

To Moody Sarno: We leave bundles of T In two hundred weight lots, baled with brains And mounted on winged feet. To Jack Ryder: We leave broken records Thrice timed, with two mile baton passed And crowded field events. To the Library: We leave shelves of borrowed books Returned on time, yet unvirgined, read, And crowded alcove, quiet. To the Classics Department: We leave Latin lads Pocket filled with odes, unknown to trots And lovers of Humanities . To the Science Department: We leave induction, Sweet mother of progress, spouse of slide-rule And unused ruler of the world. WILL To the Romance Language Department: We leave Berlitz Screamed in accents pure, in seminars crowded And buried basic English. To the English Department: We leave readers Writing what they read, salted with new opinion And pregnant with publishers ' food. To the Philosophy Department: We leave philosophers Uncramped by acceleration, syllogism lovers, Livers of life, not makers of livings. To the History Department: We leave cosmopolitans, Haters of borders, gleaners of fact, Unsoured by the past of today. To the Religion Department: We leave quoters of texts Genuinely scriptural, vital with proof, Bearers of charity as well as justice. To the Stylus: We leave writers Burning with creation, haters of convention Unafraid to live by their art. To the Heights: We leave space Unclaimed by a budget, yet filled with facts Divorced from the writers ' feelings. To the Fulton and Marquette: We leave speakers Powered with logic, armed with assurance And quotingly read. To Whom Do we leave Eric Gill, His charter of labor, manifesto of Art And passionate functionalist ' s panacea? Thus parting from here, the scene Of all our hopes and dreams, Our trials and sweated honors gained, We leave to all who, silent, Listen, this our final word. Bear well then, that which we leave to you And to this as to thyself be true. Senior L iadS jo Best Professor — Jesuit .... Fr. John A.
