Thou, Who makest eloquent the tongue of the dumb, instruct our tongues and pour into our lips the grace of Thy blessing. Give us quickness of understanding, capacity of retaining, subtility of interpreting, facility in learning, and copious grace of speaking. Guide our going in, direct our going forward, accomplish our going forth; through Christ our Lord. Amen St. Thomas Aquinas FOREWORD And it came to pass, that in those days of tribulation, there went out a decree from the ruler, that all men should be enrolled. And all went to be enrolled, everyone into his own city. There was war. After that there was peace. Be it known therefore, that this is a record of the fidelity, endeavors and accom- plishments of those who having once fought, now study that all may have a richer, fuller, and more abundant life.

Michael J. Harding, S.J. Father Harding was an active man. Not in the sense that he did more and more things but in the sense that he loved more and more. He loved philosophy deeply and intensely. Father Sullivan said, He loved to search for the truth, the truth. This was the specific characteristic of his life, and this we know was the reason why he was born, why he came into the world, and why he studied and taught. It was to bear witness of The Truth. fflCULTY Rev. Stephen A. Mulcahy, S.J. Dean of Boston College With your graduating class, Boston College takes on again at least the appearance of normality. Last year, hardly twenty-five students received degrees from Alma Mater. Such has been the story for the past few years. This year, close to two hundred of you, fortified with the solid principles of your faith and philosophy, will go forth in a compact body to help heal the body politic, which is still suffering severely from the wounds of war. The world so badly needs straight thinking and straight acting to set it aright. As you gave your best to the winning of the war, now you must give your very best to the restoration and perpetuation of all for which you stand. Noblesse oblige! Stephen A. Mulcahy, S.J. Rev. James J. Kellev, S.J. Dean of The College of Business Administration Gentlemen of the Class of 1947: Perhaps your reflections are varied as you finish your student days at Boston College. For you it has not been an uninterrupted course of study in cloistral solitude, for the world in which you live was torn asunder by hate and ambi- tion and lust for power. You were worthy sons of Alma Mater in the triumph of arms and you returned from that triumph to hear again her final words of maternal guidance. With the promise of unceasing vigilance over you, she again sends you forth, confident that because you are stronger now in knowledge and wisdom and justice and charity, you will win a greater victory than the triumph of arms, the victory over self. May God grant you the exalted vision, the high resolve and persevering fortitude you will need in the action. Rev. James J. Kelley, S.J. Dean Rev. John A.

This society in honor of our Blessed Mother has become the leading spiritual organization in every Jesuit College. So also have we, the students of Boston College, implored of Dear Mary that She might take us unto Herself and guide us in our every good undertaking and comfort us in our seeming failures. With the rules of ardent devotion, rever- ence, and filial love towards the Blessed Virgin Mary we have prayed, often perhaps poorly; but then even the poor shall see God, that we as Catholic men might gain that degree of personal sanctification which in turn can but lead to the fields of real Catholic Action. Under the most especial patronage of the Mother of God each sodalist, whether he be of Boston College or elsewhere, can not but reflect the love which his Mother has for him. One need only ask of Mary to assist. AQUINAS CIRCLE The main function of the Philosophy Academy, an organization conducted for Juniors and Seniors, is to afford its members opportunity to study and discuss general philosophical principles and apply these prin- ciples to social and political questions of the day. The philosopher-king, Plato said, was the best type of ruler, for in him would be combined the wisdom of the ages and the ability for true-thinking leadership. Several hundred years later the Scholastic Jesuit Order founded its first school to train men in wise leadership. For five hundred years the tradition of philosophical studies has endured till we find it today, placed in a position of note, heightened by present con- ditions. In keeping with this tradition the Philosophy Academy was founded. Its found- ing came as a solution to the greatest difficulty of philosophy, the problem of intergrating the various branches and applying their meta- physical ideas to ordinary physical living. The solution to such a problem is best found in open discussion in which all difficulties can be clarified. The Philosophy Academy owes its con- tinued success to the untiring efforts of its Moderator, Rev. John A. O ' Brien, S.J., Jack McAuliffe, President, and Dick Kelley, Secre- tary. STUDENT ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION During the football season the Student Athletic Association was well occupied with work. Ed Flaherty as Senior A. A. Rep., ably assisted by Power Frazer and Bill O ' Halloran, promoted victory dances following each foot- ball game. The various dances were held Under the Tower , at the Copley Plaza, the Hotel Kenmore, and the Hotel Continental. On the eve of the Holy Cross game a monster rally and smoker was held at the Boston City Club with Ed Flaherty introducing the squad members and various celebrities from the sporting world. It was the function of these fellows, Flaherty, O ' Halloran, and Frazer to act as go-betweens in dealings of the students with the Athletic Association and to organize the students for the various athletic meets and games. In these capacities they acted capably and efficiently. In the years to come we feel that the future A.A. ' s should fight, as has the present organization, for the support of every sport or activity that takes place at Boston College, whether that sport be football, hockey, basket- ball, baseball, tennis, or the fencing team. Then, and only then, can the students be amply represented in all such functions; then, and only then, will there be complete co-opera- tion between the students, the members of the various teams, and the controlling mem- bers of the faculty; then, and only then, will happy days return, happy days for all and prosperous days for all. DRAMATIC SOCIETY So far this year, the Dramatic Society under the direction of Father Bonn, produced two plays — Othello and The Works . They were both sterling performances and thor- oughly enjoyed by every one present. Charlie Rogers and Ed Jennings were the stars of Othello , while John Stokes had the lead in the play The Works . Bill O ' Halloran also did a very capable job in both produc- tions. The plays were produced by Frank Sidlauskas. Paul Paget also deserves a great deal of praise for his work on the Produc- tion Staff. Aside from dramatics, the society re- cently moved its quarters to their new Bohe- mian and fustian den and workshop in the quadrangle at Cardinal O ' Connell Hall. The erstwhile actors rolled up their collective sleeves and went to work with paint brushes, hammers and other unfustian articles. By the end of the year they boasted the best offices and quarters of any of the under-grad soci- eties and undoubtedly the most bizarre, fea- turing black corridors, a sham Elizabethan office, and a workshop in Chinese red and Russian blue, lined with Viking shields. The new quarters evoked spontaneous dismay and yet fustian approbation. THE HEIGHTS The Heights went to the top during the past year. Previously, it had been just a mediocre bi-weekly. Definitely, something had to be done to bring it up and beyond its pre-war level. Its Editor-in-Chief Arthur Fagan, Jr., and Frank Fleming, of the College of Busi- ness Administration realized the plight of their brain child . First they planned for a weekly publication. Next was make-up. Managing Editor Hank Welch chose Bob Sherer, a junior, to assist him in revamping the format. Hank dressed up the paper and constantly called for more news. This was where Dan Sullivan of Newton came in. Dan was named News Editor and it was his task to keep the reporters going. His motto was: If you can ' t find news, get it — even if you have to make it. The Editors sent out a call for more re- porters, more photographers, more cartoon- ists, re-write men. A number of men reported, mostly freshmen and sophomores, but they reported. Fr. Joseph Mclnnis, S.J. Moderator, took these aspirants under his wing and groomed them for their esteemed positions as members of the Fourth Estate. In January, Frank Fleming graduated. Dan Sullivan became Editor-in-Chief, Art Fagan was given the job of snapping the whip as News Editor. Hank Welch also graduated and was succeeded by Bob Sherer as Managing Editor. The ground work had been laid. Now it was necessary to keep the ball rolling. W. G. Hayward, B.C. Director of Publicity, was appointed Moderator. The seeds planted by Fr. Mclnnis had grown into a strong tree and the fruits of his efforts blossomed. Reviewing the past year, the Editors and their moderators could gaze upon one of the best success stories of any extra-curricular activity. The Heights was once again a first class college paper. STYLUS The Stylus started this year with a new staff and new ideas. The Stylus was another war casualty and the new staff had to create a new Stylus. The job was hard because all the old timers in the student body and the faculty remem- bered the peak Stylus editions that came out just before the war and the men on the staff knew they were being compared to it. For the first half of the year under Editor Ed Naughton, the tercentenary issue comme- morating the Jesuit Martyrs was made up. There was a new Stylus cover with this issue, photographs on the inside cover and through the magazine. Typographically it was the best Stylus since ' 42 and the staff was encouraged by a good start. After the Christmas vacation George Burke took over as editor bringing out a February issue with a photograph on the new cover, a feature of war poems, and prize short stories and essays from the December con- test run by the Stylus. Now photographs have taken an important part in the new Stylus and the college magazine was keeping pace with the newest trends on the newsstands. Through the year the idea of making quality interesting was in every line and photograph of the Stylus. As the magazine picked up momentum more articles were submitted and the editors worried less about making dead- lines and more about making up the next edition and maybe the one after that. The letters and congratulations the Stylus had be- fore the war were coming in again and Busi- ness Manager Dan Ahern found it was a little easier getting ads. JOHN J.

Co-Editor CHARLES E. THOMAS Associate Editor EDMUND L. FLAHERTY Assistant Business Manager SUB TURRI Labor and Management, we are told, play an important part in production. In the pro- duction of the SUB TURRI this was especially true. Here is the list of men who produced it. John McAuliffe, the Editor-in-chief, plan- ned the book and arranged for the engraving, printing and photography. Henry W. Welch, Jr., the Co-Editor, was instrumental in arrang- ing the activities and organizations and fea- ture sections of the book. Harold J. Roberts, The Business Manager, was the sal esman of advertising space and kept liabilities in proper balance. Edmund L. Flaherty took over the business of the SUB TURRI in January and by his work the final cost of the book was reduced as much as possible. Richard M. Kelley, the Managing Editor was the fellow who had all the worry and responsibility of directing and publishing of the SUB TURRI when the two Editors and Business Manager graduated in January. Charles E. Thomas was the circulation Man- ager and acted in an advisory capacity on editorial and make-up policies. Truly these men have lived up to all expec- tations and have revealed themselves more than equal to the assignment. Down through the ages this book will al- ways be a source of pleasant memories to us all. CLASSICAL ACADEMY Under the able and tested tutelage of its Moderator and the participation of its many active and energetic members, this Academy, the font of knowledge and culture, and this in the classical humanism of ancient Greece and Rome. The chief aims of the Classical Academy are twofold. Firstly, to arouse in the students, through its quarterly bulletin, The Human- ities , a keener interest in the Classical Hu- manism of Greece and Rome as a basis of Christian Humanism. Secondly, to supplement the Latin and Greek courses by inspirational lectures, discussions and readings in the literature and art of Greece and Rome. Em- phasis is especially placed on the relation of the ancient classics to modern civilization. At the present time, the program for this revivalist movement includes a systematic study of Latin and Greek hymns and inspi- rational lectures and readings. The first lec- ture given this year was delivered by Rev. Leo McCauley, S.J., who spoke on the Greek Alphabet. The name of its publication was changed to that of the present day renowned and admired in academic circles as The Human- ities . For many years now, this learned society has been under the direction of Rev. Oswald A. Reinhalter, S.J., who has worked ardently and diligently in the interest of this circle to assure it the important place it de- serves in academic life at Boston College. GERMAN ACADEMY The German Academy is an organization devoted exclusively to the interests of students of that language and its history dates from the earliest days of the College. The number of German students in the Freshman and Sophomore classes has been exceptionally high in the recent year, and since the majority be- long to the German Academy, it is one of the largest undergraduates organizations at Bos- ton College. The Moderator of the German Academy is Dr. Boulanger, whose kind counsel and assist- ance made the various activities possible. To the officers of the club, much credit is due for arranging another pleasant year for the mem- bers of the Academy and their friends. MARQUETTE DEBATING SOCIETY The Marquette Debating Society is surely the most important of the lower class activ- ities. On the battle-scarred floors of the Mar- quette room every Monday afternoon you can hear youthful orators thundering to heaven pro and con on any subject. If you have the unhappy fortune to be a believer in the quaint notion that Freshmen and Sophomores cannot stand on their feet and talk, then the most overpowering and all-sufficient argument that could set your misguided thoughts aright would be a five minute observation of the typical Marquette open forum when the young Ciceros and Websters jump into speech. It is rumored that some of the more noted talkers of the Class of ' 47, whose present eloquent flow is of such a nature as to suggest a gift of nature, are really not the natural elocutionists they seem to be, but owe much to the training they received in the Marquette. Since the end of the war, intercollegiate debating has not reached the wide scope it enjoyed prior to it. Another year should see the Marquette of old, represented by new faces. This year ' s society had as its successful President, John Nicholson, The Moderator was Fr. Gerry, S.J. FULTON DEBATING SOCIETY The Fulton Debating Society, oldest and most widely known extracurricular activity at Boston College, this year continued the unbroken string of forensic successes which were inaugurated seventy-nine years ago in 1868 by Father Robert Fulton, S.J. The Society, originally known as the Senior Debating Society , took the name of its founder in 1890. Today the Fulton, with its yearly schedule of intercollegiate debates and weekly debates within the society, develops the capacity of thinking clearly and quickly in the stress and strain of hostile contention and it offers to Juniors and Seniors a splendid opportunity to prepare themselves for an active part in public life. The Society had a very successful year with Rev. Richard G. Shea, S.J., as Moderator ably assisted by the officers, Messrs. Saunders, Mulvehill and Moynihan. PRE-MED SEMINAR Boston College is proud of the splendid preparation secured by its Pre-Med students. However to obtain the same, a rather heavy class schedule has been required, thus making it difficult for these future M.D. ' s to engage in extracurricular activities. Thirteen years ago they decided to have an activity of their own. This is one of the most select groups of men in the college. This Seminar has been a very practical forerunner of Medical school. Throughout its meetings the theory of Catholic Ethics and morality in medical practice has predomi- nated, thus equipping our aspiring medicos with apt, scientific, ethical solutions to prob- lems they are bound to meet. In the Seminar, the students find means of greater cooperation with their professors and a more intelligent appreciation of their spe- cial advantages, as well as the development of deeper friendships among themselves. PHYSICS SEMINAR Since its tentative beginning in the early part of 1933, the Physics Seminar owes its existence and growth to the persistent and constant efforts of Rev. John A. Tobin, S.J., who has perfected the program to assure all members the greatest possible theoretical in- struction and empirical contact. Its work is to supplement the regular curri- culum of the B.S. in Physics course. This is accomplished by a weekly series of lectures given by graduates and undergraduates stu- dents majoring in Physics. Each lecturer does some research on his own time and initiative and then gives a lecture followed by a question and answer period. RADIO CLUB The Radio Club was organized in 1919. Its purpose is to inculcate and develop in the students an intimate knowledge of the modern application of radio telegraphy and telephony. The original equipment was a gift of His Eminence, the late William Cardinal O ' Connell, D.D., Archbishop of Boston. With the march of progress in the science of radio many radical changes in the equipment have taken place. At the present time the station, operating under the official call letters W-IPR, is equipped with a one-hundred watt conti- nuous wave transmitter, operating on the amateur harmonicall y related transmission bands. In addition an experimental 56 to 60 megacycle transmitter and receiver forms an auxiliary unit for telephonic and telegraphic operation in the quasi-optical portion of the spectrum. The main receiving equipment is of the most modern short-wave superhetero- dyne that responds to all amateur and im- portant commercial frequency bands. The signals from W-IPR have have been heard the world over, and the receiving equipment is equally effective. The station is located in the Department of Physics. The elevation of the second floor of the Science Building, where the transmitter is situated is 220.7 feet above mean sea level, and its latitude is 42°20 ' 8.6 , and its longitude is 71°10 ' 5.6 . The Moderator is Rev. Charles G. Crowley, S.J. .0 ■? • THE YACHT CLUB One of the youngest of Boston College ' s organizations, the Yacht Club, has been mak- ing great progress over almost insurmountable difficulties. In spite of the fact that they are without facilities of any kind, that their head- quarters are far from any suitable body of water, and there are no boats, not to mention a boathouse, the club has to its credit a record of achievement. During its infancy, the crews representing the club did all their racing on the Charles River, off the M.I.T. sailing pavilion. In the last few years, however, they have partici- pated in regattas held at the United States Coast Cuard Academy on the Thames River at New London, Connecticut, and at Brown University on the Seekonk River in Provi- dence, with varying success. Yet, the best showings of the club have taken place on the Charles River. In 1941 a boathouse was opened on the Boston Bank of the Charles by the Community Boat Club. This organization is supported by the Metropolitan District Commission, which was responsible for the construction of the boathouse. This club has been responsible for the birth of a series of races among colleges of Greater Boston in which Boston College has played a leading role. Colleges outside of the Greater Boston Community have been invited to attend and our brother college, Holy Cross, has been among the guests. WORLD RELATIONS LEAGUE The World Relations League of Boston College, familiarly known as the WRL, was founded to study and discuss international issues. The League is open to all students and meets bi-weekly during the school year. At each meeting a member presents a talk on some subject of international import. After the talk a question period is held. These talks have two advantages, they pro- vide an introduction to a knowledge of world affairs and an opportunity to practice public speaking. The League participates in many activities of nation-wide Student Group organizations. During this past year its members have been especially active at Conferences of associa- tions whose activities are aimed at world peace. At Chicago, members Flynn and Scanlon were delegates from the College to the N S conference. On their return they gave a first- hand report to the WRL. At this year ' s New England meeting at Regis College of the National Federation of Catholic Colleges Students, two WRL members participated. Mr. Paradis was chairman of one discussion and Mr. Fitzpatrick gave a talk on United States Trusteeship. OFFICERS OF THE WORLD RELATIONS LEAGUE President — John Fitzpatrick Vice-President — Maurice L. Paradis Secretary — James Hogan Treasurer — John Flynn, Jr. Faculty Moderator — Rev. James L. Burke, S.J. BAND Allied with our great Football Team of 1946 in supporting its every fuction with its highest talents was the Boston College Band. It displayed skilled qualities as a unit at each and every football game and smoker during the season. Its intricate drills and formations, emphasized by its rich uniforms of maroon and gold added the needed shade of pageantry and zest when things weren ' t going just right down there on the gridiron. Through this function, it has won acclaim from all over the eastern States. The excel- lent performance and exemplary conduct of its members at the N. Y. U.-B. C. game is a norm to be esteemed and imitated for each student when on an Alma Mater mission. Under the wise and deeply interested leadership of its moderator, the Rev. Henry A. Callahan, S.J. this great unit of musical talent has enjoyed a most successful and creditable season. Likewise, less praise cannot be relegated to its immediate and inspiring director, Mr. James J. Kiely, ' 41, through whose untiring persistence Boston College once again has a Band of which it can be truly proud to boast of, the like of which has not been evident at the Heights since those great games of pre- War days.

And it would have continued if a little thing like war hadn ' t reared its ugly head in the American scene. The war drained the colleges of its male students and athletics suffered as a result. Some institutions were fortunate enough to have Naval trainees stationed on their cam- puses. These men were allowed to participate in sports. There was no such group stationed at Boston College and, although football, hockey and track were carried on as activities at the Heights, they were played in a very informal manner. While the teams enjoyed considerable suc- cess at times, it was a far cry from the days when the Eagles athletic teams were some of the most feared groups in the nation. Base- ball had been dropped altogether and hockey was played under the guidance of a student, John Buckley. With the end of the war, the end of the famine of sports in the nation ' s colleges came also and few colleges appreciated the end of the conflict from an athletic point of view more than Boston College. The influx of veterans to the college and the assured presence of the students who would ordinarily be draft material provided enough material for Coach Fred Maguire to mould a New England Championship team from the medium-sized number of candidates who reported to him. This team won 17 out of 19 games for the best baseball record at Boston College and seemed to augur well for the fortunes of the other teams. Denny Myers, returning from the service himself, came up with a fine team that THE BOSTON COLLEGE FOOTBALL SQUAD OF 1946 dropped its opening game to Wake Forest due to the inexperience of the players. The team showed well for the remainder of the season, dropping a game to Tennessee after the Boston College eleven had forged ahead to a quick thirteen point lead, but overcon- fidence did the rest as the Volunteers sub- merged the Eagles in the last half. The loss to Holy Cross was a hard one to take but it brought down the curtain on a season that promised well for the following season and the team had made a fine showing consider- ing the fact that the men had been away from the game for some time. The team was good enough to be rated tops in New England and third in the East behind West Point and Pennsylvania. Coach John Kelly duplicated the feat turned in by Maguire and brought a power- ful Boston College sextet onto the ice for the winter season with the team dropping decisions only to Dartmouth and Boston University although the Eagles later tied the Terriers in the best collegiate hockey game played in Boston in many years. The basketball team was still in the grow- ing process, having been revived after a layoff of more than twenty years and this particular sport has had to come a long way in the little time it has been reborn, but the team has met the top teams of the nation and fared well against all of them. The hoopsters improved on their first year record and wound up the 1946-47 season with a creditable .500 average. If these fine showings, after years away FATHER DULLEA, S.J. Director of Athletics from the games, can even be duplicated, let alone bettered, in the future, then it can be truthfully said that athletics at Boston Col- lege have enjoyed a successful renaissance after the dark war years.  ? COACHES — ED DOHERTY, HARRY MARR, HEAD COACH DENNY MYERS, MOODY SARNO CAPTAIN BOB MANGENE Coach Denny Myers ushered his first B.C. football team in three years onto the turf of the Eagles ' new home, Braves Field, to meet the highly regarded Deacons of Wake Forest. WAKE FOREST A crowd of 38,500 attended the opener. From the moment the opening whistle was sounded the Eagles were in trouble when Ed Clasby, starting quarterback, fumbled the kickoff with the visitors recovering. This seemed to shake the poise of the Maroon and Gold eleven but ' they managed to hold off the Deacons ' attack on this occasion. Later in the same period, with Red Cochran running wild, Wake Forest managed to push across the first tally of the night. The Eagles almost tied the ball game in the same stanza when Panciera engineered a drive to the Southerners door but an interception halted the attack. Penalties proved to be as costly in the last half as they did in the first thirty minutes, although the Eagles piled up plenty of offen- sive yardage as well. Red Cochran then added insult to injury when, after just missing going all the way on a punt return, he pro- ceeded to lug the pigskin across the goal line on the very next play. With time running out, B.C., in the guiding hands of Panciera, moved relentlessly down field and the climax came in the closing minutes when Ceasario, a substitute end, snatched a pass in the end zone. Inexperience played a big part in the Eagles ' 12 to 6 setback, but the fine signal- calling of Panciera heralded better days ahead. THE JESUITS SHOWED THE DEACONS MICHIGAN STATE With Don Panciera holding down the start- ing quarterback role, Boston College stunned a favored Michigan State by parading to a touchdown only four plays after the visitors got their hands on the ball. DeRosa, Mangene and Lanoue carried the ball to the Spartan 36 and then Panciera lofted a pass to Lanoue at the twelve from where he scooted over. In short order the Eagles carried the ball back down to the three from where Mangene plunged over. The Spartans finally got rolling in the second quarter when Russ Reader jaunted 36 yards for a Michigan tally. Immediately after this effort he lugged the oval back to the B.C. three from where Smith went over in one smash at the line. A few minutes after the second half opened Panciera and Killelea connected on a long 56 yeard pass that gave the Eagles a little breathing space. Spiegel attempted to put the Spartans back in the game when he rambled 60 yards for a score. The Eagles offset this TD when Cannava scooped in a 17 yard pass by Panciera to give B.C. its last score. Can- nava also contributed a 40 yard run in this quarter and helped set up B.C. on the Spartan one yard line when time ran out. Panciera completed seven out of eight passes in this CAPTAIN TUCK TWOMEY game while Clasby connected with four out of five. Penalties again hindered the Eagles, but a powerful offensive saved the day. HS« WPBmMm mm R- $ p M KL sjp Jaj BO£arfSH ; ; f«S ' v ; ■ ' .■.:,•;•. ■■■•■.. ' -■■ ; • v -, : . ' MASTER MAGICIAN — WHO S GOT THE BALL CAPTAIN ANGI SISTI Picking up where he had left off the week before, John Killelea gathered Kings Point ' s opening kickoff on his own eight yard line, started down the middle, cut to his right skirting the entire team of Mariners and raced the remaining distance for the first six KINGS POINT points of the evening. Panciera added the extra point, his first of seven straight con- versions that night. After being temporarily stalled, Bob Palladino broke the ice when he climaxed a 45 yard drive by a 10 yard scor- ing effort. The score was run up to 20 to by halftime when Albie Gould hauled in a Clasby pass shortly before intermission. Two plays after John Killelea opened the second half by intercepting a Mariner pass, the Eagles scored again with Killelea once again the gent to enter the end zone. B.C. was penalized 15 yards on the attempted conver- sion but Panciera still managed to pump the pigskin between the uprights. Dom Papaleo picked up a loose ball after Vic Palladino had blocked a kick for the Eagles ' fifth T.D. Patsy Darone, playing a terrific game, intercepted a pass and was nailed from behind at the three. Brennan lugged the ball across the line to turn the game into a complete rout. Before the third period ended Ed Burns added another six points by scoring from the 4. The last B.C. score came in the final period when Morro carried to the 1 from where Aznavoorian hit paydirt. Only after a flood of substitutes had been sent into the game were the Mariners able to push across their lone marker and avert a shutout. ' :. ■ AROUND THE END IN THE DARK VILLANOVA With the line and Ed Clasby holding, Don Panciera put the ball through the uprights for two first period extra points that proved to be the margin of victory for the Eagles over Villanova. John Furey fell on a blocked kick on the Wildcats 37 to start the Eagles on their way. A run by Benedetto, and two passes to Nick- etakis finally put the Eagles across into the end zone. After getting their hands on the ball again Killelea carried from midfield to the 36, from the 36 to the 17, from the 17 to the 2 and from the 2 to paydirt for B.C. ' s second and decisive tally. Another touchdown by Cannava was called back and before the Eagles could push the pigskin into scoring territory again they had lost the ball on a fumble. This missed opportunity was high- lighted by a 63 yard run on an interception by Cannava. The Wildcats came back with less than two minutes remaining in the half and the Mainliners threw a scare into the B.C. rooters when a pass from Gordon to Polidor was good for a score. This was the last scoring gesture made by either team until the last period when Boston fans were on the edge of their seats after Zehier slipped around the B.C. end, cut back into the center, eluded three tacklers and put the Mainliners within 2 points of a tie game. CAPTAIN MARIO GIANELLI After a lightning-fast start it looked like it might turn into a rout, but the B.C. punch faded and they were forced to fight down to the last whistle. PALLADINO CLAWED Son CAPTAIN ED BURNS NEW YORK UNIVERSITY The Eagles went on a touchdown marathon at the expense of the N.Y.U. Violets and, though the officials did their best to stop them, by the time the game ended the Maroon and Gold had amassed 72 points with nine differ- ent men taking part in the scoring. Don Panciera, Ed Clasby and Steve Stuka completed 24 out of 34 passes with three of Stuka ' s being good for touchdowns. Bill Mono started the parade by bucking across the goal line from the 2. In rapid succession, Panciera, Diminick, Benedetto, Gould, Man- gene, Vic Palladino, Songin, Morro and Poissant added tallies for the Eagles with the last two men scoring twice. Panciera kicked four extra points while Songin and Morro converted once each. The weak Violet team was helpless in front of the Eagles and it was only after the offi- cials paced off most of the distance to the goal line that the New Yorkers were able to cross the B.C. goal. It was interesting to see two games being played on the field at the same time. Boston College showed New York the T formation while the officials played a new game called ' Drop the handkerchief. THE EAGLES PLUCK THE VIOLETS IN THE RAIN GEORGETOWN Boston College almost lost this one through overconfidence. Regarding the Georgetown game as a tuneup for the Tennessee game the next week, the Eagles almost fell victim to a small but fast Hoya eleven with only a last period scoring surge saving B.C. from defeat, finally winning, 20 to 13. To the surprise of all at the game, George- town soon left the Eagles behind in the scoring column when Jack Haggerty ' s spread forma- tion wrought havoc with the B.C. defense. With the Hoyas in possession at the B.C. 48, an unheralded Hilltopper, Tom Graham, swivel-hipped his way through the B.C. de- fense for a touchdown. Mr. Graham was heard from again when, a few plays later he un- corked a pass to George Benigni who couldn ' t believe he had caught the ball but managed to stagger his way into the end zone to leave the Eagles six points behind. A terrific recovery in the last period snatched victory out of defeat for the Eagles. Back on their own 2, B.C. gave the ball to Cannava who turned in a sensational perfor- mance by eluding practically the entire Georgetown team in his own end zone and he squirmed out to his own 20. From here Pan- ciera passed to Spinney who made a miracu- lous catch and then to Cannava to produce the tying points. With only a minute remain- CAPTAIN JOHN KILLELEA ing, Cannava gathered in another Panciera pass and pulled the game out of the hole and saved the Eagles from what would have been a big upset.  if u, n hi i i '  r r r  f f jf .f I i a AFTER SIXTY MINUTES — 19-13 1 • - HKu s%, Lti HHI wj HR 8 ' V ik ? __jj, • ,«| i jP : - ' iv. .5 i v 5s i H T : ' V ■ ' ■■ A i MTwWr HKfi - ■ SajW s,,. kyj§; CAPTAIN VIC PALLADINO They looked like the best ball team I ever saw during the first period, but we finally wore them down and our score came from their mistakes. This was the statement made TENNESSEE by the Tennessee Coach Bob Neyland after his Vols came from 13 points behind to ad- minister a 33 to 13 beating to the Eagles. The B.C. line wrought havoc with the Tennessee forward wall and in the first period the Eagles made the Vols look like a bunch of amateurs with the visitors Dick Huffman, All-America tackle, included. A long pass, Panciera to Killelea accounted for the first B.C. score minutes after the game got under- way. Before the ten minute mark was reached the Eagles scored again when Panciera, with Huffman draped all over him, managed to drop a pass into the arms of Ed Burns who hit paydirt with a host of interferers paving his way from the 10. The Vols got their first break when they recovered a B.C. fumble on the Eagles ' 17. They converted this into a score but the Eagles still led. After a B.C. pass was intercepted in the second half, running plays carried to the 8 from where Lund tied it up. The Vols only sustained march netted them their win- ning tally with Proctor polishing it off with a spurt into the end zone from the 4. The final two T.D.s were gifts, with the Eagles heaving desperation passes in an attempt to score. Wait ' til next year!!! 40,000 HEARTS WERE SAD ALABAMA Four periods of perfect football by B.C. sent the Alabama Rose Bowl victors back to Alabama with nothing but bruises for their long hike to the city of the baked bean. The opening period saw each team carry the ball the length of the gridiron only to have their scoring bids stifled, with the Crim- son Tide running the ball through the B.C. defense that was set for a passing attack. Gilmer sparked the ' Bama drive that carried from its own 17 to the B.C. 19. Spinney made a sensational catch of a Panciera pass on the Tide ' s 2. Benedetto then put the first six points of the afternoon into the B.C. side of the ledger. Before the first half had drawn to a close, the Crimson Tide got back into the ball game when Harry Gilmer once again paced the Southerners on a march. This effort bore fruit, though, as Gilmer lofted a pass to towering Ted Cook over Benedetto ' s head to put the Tide back in the game. Gilmer added the point to tie the game. Ed Clasby ' s beautiful kick to the ' Bama 2 kept the visitors bottled up in their own territory. Then in the fourth quarter, with Songin and Cannava sharing duties, the ball was moved to the ' Bama 39. In a deceptive play that even the spectators couldn ' t see from the roof, Poisant broke right through the center of the line and scooted to the goal line where he leaped into the end zone with a defender grabbing at his ankle. It was the CAPTAIN PATSY DARONE most exciting play of an exciting afternoon and served to bring the margin of victory to the Eagles. Songin took personal charge to see that Mr. Gilmer got nowhere on his next few tries at a score and played a terrific game in doing so. 40,000 HEARTS WERE GLAD mM0tik JOE KING Once again the old Holy Cross jinx asserted itself and the Crusaders sprung an upset win over Boston College, 13 to 6. The B.C. ground and air attack was stifled by a fast and hard charging Purple forward wall that wrecked HOLY CROSS havoc with the Eagles ' heretofore potent passing attack. The Eagles went out to a short-lived lead in the second period due to the fleet-legged Al Cannava. It was nothing more than an ordinary punt that carried to about the B.C. 20. Despite the play ' s indifferent beginning, it turned out to be the most outstanding offen- sive gesture to take place all afternoon. Although most fans thought this would be the turning point, the Crusaders were un- shaken. They took the kickoff and didn ' t relinquish possession of the oval until they had racked up six points. Sheridan carried to the 37, Kissell added twenty more on two tries, and then Sheridan passed to Kelleher on the B.C. 25. Sheridan looked for receivers on the next play but finding none open, he rambled down the sidelines to the Eagle four. The pay-off came on a pass from Sheridan to Costello for the tying points. The camel ' s back was broken in the third quarter when Sheridan lofted another pass, this time to Troy who outjumped an Eagle defender for the winning score. The two previous games, Alabama and Tennessee, seemed to take the spark out of the team and as a result, they suffered a let- down. Better days are ahead, though as the freshmen of the squad have shown enough promise to pick up where the departing seniors have left off. OH, WELL VARSITY COACH FRED MAGUIRE The call that Coach Freddie Maguire issued early in April of the 1946 baseball season was answered by approximately sixty-five diamond hopefuls, an encouraging number with which to work after a layoff of several years. Poor weather cut into the already scarce time and it looked as though Maguire would be hard pressed to field a representa- tive club for the opener with Northeastern on April 20. The weatherman seemed in a spiteful mood as snow covered the ground for a while to further hamper progress. Thus it was with some surprise that the newspapers carried accounts of B.C. ' s defeat at the hands of the Huskies in the 10th inn- ing. The Northeastern nine was regarded as one of the Lop teams in the area. The Eagles actually had the game won in their half of the tenth, but Maguire moved Gerry Leven- son, a pitcher, to the outfield after he had gone to bat as a pinch-hitter in the same inning. This proved to be a fatal move. A lofty fly made its way out to Levenson and the sun plus his own inexperience at the position caused him to lose the ball in the sun and two of the Huskies scampered across home plate with the tying and winning runs. Despite this discouraging loss, the Eagles came back in their next outing. They jour- neyed to Amherst where they tangled with the Lord Jeffs. For a time it appeared as though the Eagles would be charged with their second defeat of the young season. After the B.C. representatives edged their way to a one run lead in the first half of the sixth, the hosts countered with three quick tallies that erased the lead of the Eagles. But in the NEW ENGLAND INTERCOLLEGIATE CHAMPS OF 1946 BASEBALL next inning the Eagles more than made up for the Amherst splurge and racked up a seventh inning total of five runs, enough to turn the tide for B.C. and give them their first win, and also start them off on their winning streak which set a record for a Boston College baseball team. The butterfingers of a Harvard team paved the way to their own downfall with the bats of the Boston College outfit providing the extra measure of pressure that saw the Eagles take a 5 to 1 verdict from the Crimson team in the first formal athletic contest between the two neighboring institutions in twenty- five years. This game was followed up by a 3 to triumph over the Providence Friars. The Eagles kept in the running for the mythical Greater Boston Championship when they trounced Tufts in the Jumboes own back yard, 9 to 4. This enabled B.C. to keep within distance of Northeastern, the club that had beaten them earlier. B.C. then stretched its winning streak to five straight when the Maguiremen dropped Colby 10 to while Tom McManus was hold- ing the Mules to a total of three hits. Tom Mulhern, the starting hurler for Colby, had pitched 18 consecutive hitless innings up to the time he toed the rubber against B.C. His charm was gone though, and B.C. peppered him for nine safeties. Two days later B.C. racked up its high-scoring mark of the season JOHNNY BUCKLEY when it ran roughshod over the Brown Bruins at Alumni Field, 15 to 1. The return game with Northeastern turned out to be as exciting and as close a game as the first encounter between the two clubs. GUARDIAN OF THE INITIAL SACK VARSITY JERRY DUANT After they had manufactured a lead over the Huskies, Bob Quirk lost his effectiveness in the light drizzle that had threatened to post- pone the game, and he was lifted for Leven- son after the visitors had erased the B.C. margin and gone ahead. Although the out- come was ominous for the Eagles — both the rain and Northeastern were getting stronger as the game went on — they managed to pull the game out of the fire at the last minute with the result that the Eagles won the Greater Boston crown and also protected their win streak at eight contests, having defeated Quonset Naval two days earlier. The B.C. pitching staff grew stronger as the season progressed with the result that by the time the season was drawing to a close, the Eagles had just about the strongest col- legiate mound corps in New England. This strong pitching plus the powerful batting of such men as Daunt, Buckley, Lynch, Maloney and Spinner as well as others kept the team going at a hot clip. The Eagles powerhoused their way to wins over Providence (4-1), and Boston University (9-1), before they met their Waterloo at the hands of the University of New Hampshire. The final outcome showed the Eagles on the tail-end of a 4 to 2 count although Levenson had allowed but four hits. The only trouble was that the Wildcats ' hurler stifled the Eagles with two bingles, one made by Spinner and the other by Lynch. While the Eagles managed to travel the remainder of the schedule without blemishing their record by defeating Tufts, Villanova, B.U., Rutgers and Dartmouth, the best part of the season was the twin victories over the I milium BEARING DOWN BASEBALL usually prevailing baseball team of Holy Cross. The first win came on Memorial Day at Worcester when the Eagles solved Harper Gerry, previously undefeated in four years of collegiate competition, getting twelve hits and six runs while the Crusaders could gather only one run for their cause while 5400 fans sat in on the proceedings. The second tilt between the two teams saw a much closer battle take place with the Eagles playing host to an Alumni Day throng of 6500. The lead had see-sawed back and forth between the two teams and going into the ninth the Crusaders led 6 to 4. A rally was sensed by the spectators when Bob Fitzgerald walked and was moved to second when Johnny Buckley strolled as well. Tom Maloney, a dependable player all year, then stepped to bat and drilled a single for the Eagles ' third hit of the day and which produced the fifth run. With the fans pleading for the winning runs, two attempted bunts became easy pop- ups and the hopes for a win seemed dimmer. But Jerry Daunt, who had been named as second baseman for the Eastern Collegiate All-Stars, lined a single that sent Buckley across with the tying run. Maloney then caused the spectators some anxious moments as he broke for the plate. He just barely beat the throw to the plate and the Eagles managed to eke out their second win of the TOM MALONEY season over the Worcesterites and also bring down the curtain on the most successful base- ball season under Maguire and the best in the history of the sport at the College. HARVARD WENT DOWN 5-1 WINGMAN ED BURNS Coach John Snooks Kelly put Boston College Hockey back on the high peak it occupied before he entered the Navy several years ago. When the season opened there was little VARSITY known as to the possibility of the Eagles being represented by another topflight sextet such as has characterized the Maroon and Gold teams in the past. The only returnee with whom Kelly could say he had a speaking acquaintance was John Putto Murphy who had played as a start- ing winner of the great pre-war B.C. teams. His experience and the fact that he was the only such returnee won for him the election to the captaincy, something he showed he more than deserved as the season moved along. The season opened on a discouraging note with the Eagles dropping a hard one to Boston University, the Eagles ' perennial rival for the New England Intercollegiate crown. This game dropped to the Terriers, 9 to 5, was the only game the Eagles dropped in the entire schedule of League competition. Two other games were lost in the course of the season, one being to Dartmouth on poor ice at Hanover by a count of 4 to and the other a loss to the powerful Yale sextet while the Eagles were playing with only two lines avail- able at New Haven. With the exception of these two games, the Eagles moved through the season without blemishes on their record. In the second game of the year the Eagles met the Holy Cross Crusaders in a game that figured to be a soft touch for the Kellymen. The Crusaders were at another disadvantage having lost HOCKEY SQUAD — WON 14, LOST 2, TIED 1. HOCKEY their coach just prior to their opener. All this seemed to add up to a bad night for the Purple but the visitors surprised everyone and showed plenty of skill as well as fight, although the Eagles had little trouble in down- ing them, 8 to 4. This showing by the Cru- saders gave warning to future opponents that they would be a team to fear in a short space of time. After B.C. dropped its game to Dartmouth it returned to the confines of the Arena ice where the Eagles got back into competition for the New England crown. The first team on the list was the Northeastern club that had done a good job on Tufts the previous week. Because of this showing by the Huskies, they looked as though they would prove to be tough medicine for the Eagles. All such fears were dispelled shortly after the first period opened when the B.C. team moved into a commanding lead which kept mounting as the game con tinued. By the time the final bell had rung the Eagles had won going away by a count of 10 to 1. This victory set the pace for the remaining games on the B.C. schedule. B.C. was expected to have a bit more trouble at the hands of Harvard but the fear was unfounded since the Maroon and Gold team set the Crimson back on its haunches to the tune of 6 to 3. Once B.C. got by Devens which was accom- plished by a 4 to 1 score in a game played nf HUSTON COLLED fc ■ft- ' ' 1 W w y|v .- ' .. - . i y CAPTAIN PUTTO MURPHY in sub-freezing temperatures on an outdoor rink, the Eagles met little stiff opposition until they met Yale at New Haven. Before tangling with the Bulldog the Eagles steam- rollered their way to lopsided wins over M.I.T. SET UP AGAINST M.I.T. VARSITY WINGMAN JACK HARVEY and Tufts, defeating the latter team twice. B.C. scored 35 goals to the oppositions ' 7. The Yale game found the Elis pressing an advantage of an extra line while the Eagles were without the services of a third set of forwards. The remaining two B.C. lines found the pace too stiff and they wilted before the rushes of the Elis so that they could put up only slight resistance, finally dropping the tilt, 9 to 2. The game with B.U. had received advance notices as being the best game to be played in Boston that year and by the time the fans wended their way to the exits there was not one voice that could say that the prediction had been unjustified. At the time the outcome of the New England League depended on the result of this game. A win by the Eagles would have put them in a tie for the top rung and a playoff would have been necessary. For a while it looked as though that would be the case when Ed Songin opened the scor- ing for the night on a powerful drive that sailed by Ike Bevins and gave the Eagles a one goal advantage. Ten minutes later, though, B.U. tied it up and that was the way the score stood at the end of the first period. By the time the end of the second period rolled around the score was still deadlocked but this time the score was 2 to 2. Jack Harvey tied the score after the Terriers had gone ahead earlier in the period. The play in the third period was terrific. Only a minute has passed when B.U. went out ahead. Pressure mounted as Fitzgerald pushed a shot by Bevins to knot the count again. The play was even throughout the first X mm HARVEY DRIVES ONE AT THE NET HOCKEY stages of the period, but toward the end the Eagles started to press more and more, but B.U. had a goalie that was a goalie and the count was still knotted. Only two minutes remained in the game and it looked as though the scoring would stop here. But B.U. didn ' t think. With only a minute and a half left the Terriers beat Burke and it looked like cur- tains for the Eagles but not one fan left the Arena. And well they didn ' t for with only seconds remaining Fitzgerald turned the trick again and scored. The overtime period was anything but a letdown. In the ten minute period the pace was furious with the Terriers scoring first at the 7:53 mark. Although such a feat would have been looked on as impossible, Murphy broke away from the B.C. end of the rink, soloed the length of the ice, faked Bevins out of position and scored. Time ran out seconds later and it was a good thing for the spectators that it did as the human heart can stand only so much. The game certainly lived up to its advance billing and there are those who ' ll maintain that no better hockey game was played in Boston, Bruins included. B.U. ' s goaltender, Ike Bevins, made numerous saves that would ordinarily have been sure scores. It was this fellow who kept the teams on a par with each other. To go into detail over the remaining games DEFENSEMAN BUTCH SONGIN would only be a letdown, but the Eagles closed out the season with wins over Harvard, Holy Cross, St. Nicholas Hockey Club and M.I.T., experiencing no trouble from any of the latter. MURPHY WAITS FOR PASSOUT FROM GALLAGHER VARSITY COACH AL McCLELLAN Once again basketball returns to the Heights as a major sport on the athletic program of Boston College. After a layoff of about twenty years Maroon and Gold uniforms jogged, pivoted and shot on the court representing Les Eagles from Chestnut Hill. The initial start after the long absence was the 1945-46 season which wasn ' t too impres- sive in the record books, but after such a long period of sleep, the sport wasn ' t ex- pected to pick up overnight and Coach McClellan had set the groundwork for the future. Last year may have been a different story, but this season found the many top-flight col- lege quintets listed on the B.C. program a bit more worried. The local experts considered the Eagles a threat whenever they played and no longer were the Eagles regarded as the doormat of the New England region. This rise in prominence was due to the enrolling of new players who figured to give B.C. the shot in the arm that was so badly needed. This year year ' s team was a much taller outfit as well as a much smoother operating team. One main reason the Eagles enjoyed so much of the spotlight was because of the presence of Elmore Morgenthaler, seven-foot-one inch giant from Texas who sparked the Eagles in the earlier part of the season before he left college. John Letvinchuk is another man who headed the Eagle club, BASKETBALL SQUAD — BOASTED .500 AVERAGE BASKETBALL with his fierce tactics drawing applause from the fans every time he was in the game. In the few games he played for B.C. Mor- genthaler piled up a big point total after a slow start so that by the time he played Ford- ham he managed to set a Garden scoring record of 37 points. This was the high water mark of his scoring parade but on several other occasions he approached it and managed to gain an average of 20 points per game by the time he stopped playing. Perhaps the one outstanding player on the roster was John Letvinchuk who was the lead- ing playmaker for the Eagles and was out- standing on defense. This likable six foot four inch student from Salem moved into the pivot post later in the season and here he managed to gather enough points to give him the title of leading scorer after he had bad a slow start. Jim Sharry, Ray Carr and Phil Kenny- rounded out the starting five, with all these three veterans of one year at B.C. The latter was the forward while Sharry and Carr, though short in stature, were immense in the quality of their play and were two of the outstanding guards in the local field. Sharry in addition to his fine defensive play, was an outstanding set-shot artist who pulled the Eagles out of many close calls during the season with his dead-eye. He is a senior and has played his last game for B.C. His position SET SHOT ARTIST — JIM SHARRY THE GENERAL HOLDS A BLACKBOARD DRILL VARSITY ELMORE MORGENTHALER will be a tough one to fill. He was an out- standing basketballer in high school, starring for Somerville. Carr and Kenny, both starters, come from Rhode Island and they each have two years of eligibility left so that there presence for the next few years will make things a bit easier for McClellan. Kenny is a steady op- erator who was high scorer on the ' 45- ' 46 team and his accuracy under the hoop will help B.C. ' s hoopsters become a team to be reckoned with in the future. Franny Higgins and Tom O ' Brien are a couple of fellows who started to show their best form toward the close of the season. Both Higgins and O ' Brien come from New York as do Mort Stagoff and Dan Bricker. Higgins showed nice form all season while O ' Brien made quite a debut for himself near the close of the schedule. His scoring antics brought him a healthy total of points con- sidering the fact that he was around for so few of the contests. Off their performances of the past year it seems fairly certain that these four players will have a lot to say in local hoop circles since they are all fresh- men with three years to go. McClellan hopes to improve on this season ' s average of .500 in the win-loss column. Several of the games the Eagles dropped were heartbreaks, especially in the case where they played the power-houses of the mid-west, ACTION AT THE GARDEN BASKETBALL Bradley and Bowling Green, only to lose each one in the closing minutes. The Bowling Green game was lost in the last few seconds of the game after the Eagles had assumed what ap- peared to be a comfortable lead earlier in the game. A similar situation prevailed in the Bradley game where the Eagles were way out front only to have the visitors come from behind in the closing minutes to wrest victory from the hands of the Bee Cee ' ers. Had the Eagles been able to win these two games it might have boosted their morale to the point where they would be unbeatable but such was not the case. Games with Boston University, Georgetown and Colby were lost in the fading minutes of their respective tills. Apparently McClellan will have to concen- trate on some way in which to stop these last minute thrusts which have caused so many heart-breaking defeats. Maybe he will petition to have the length of the game shortened. Whatever it takes, it will have to be good, but there seems little doubt that basketball is at Boston College to stay and as the years go on will the standing of the hoop team ' s ranking in the nations collegiate roster. The team has shown it can play a terrific brand of ball. They have set several records this past season, both inter-collegiate and Boston College marks that will take a lot of playing to equalize. JOHNNY LETVINCHUK ELMORE PLUNKS IN ANOTHER VARSITY COACH JACK RYDER Probably the one sport to suffer most at Boston College due to the war was the track team. All during the bad months of the war years Coach Jack Ryder made his way up to University Heights to greet whatever few can- didates might make their way to the cinder and wooden oval. On most of these occasions he was the sole person to be present on the scene. Again, when the other men flocked back to the college the coaches of the other sports were overburdened, but even then Ryder was hard pressed to get together a suitable group of men to represent Boston College at the many indoor meets for the Winter season. Luckily, among those men who did report to Ryder were some of the athletes who had run for him in earlier years, both before the war and during it. Among the former were fellows like Tom Greehan and Angie Sisti. Sisti had made quite a name for himself while taking part in the shotput event of the National collegiate championship. A bad arm he picked up in football kept his effectiveness down to a minimum, but he still managed to garner quite a few points as did Bill Morro in the same event. Tom Greehan was a consistent point-getter in the hurdles and the dashes. He managed to gather a few firsts during the season. An- other runner who vied with Greehan for top honors in the point department was Carl Par- sons. Parsons has a lot of natural ability on the track and Ryder feels that if the fleet- footed scholar would train diligently he could develop into one of the outstanding collegiate runners. In spite of his lack of practice, WAITING FOR THE GUN TRACK Parsons still managed to do more than his share towards putting the Eagles back on the track ' s winning trail. Ralph King and Gil Walker were steady performers all season although King had some trouble getting into shape and losing the weight that he had put on while in service. Several newcomers made their way into the local spotlight with Matt Malloy, a prom- ising miler, showing well. Malloy took part in the IC4A games at New York but lost count of his position, so crowded was the event. Despite these handicaps he picked up his pace and made his way to finish well. In the same meet both Walker and Parsons just missed qualifying for the finals. The outstanding event for the team was the win by the mile relay team at the B.A.A. meet at the Boston Garden. The Eagles ' win- ning time, while good enough as it stood, would have been much better if Carl Parsons hadn ' t taken a spill. Spence and Harrington saved the day with their strong efforts. The two mile relay team showed well too with three of the four men on it members of the freshman class. The indoor season prepared the team for the outdoor season which saw the Eagles do much better. The runners who had had trouble getting into shape for the indoor meets were now ready for steady service and their con- dition paid off. ACTION AT THE GARDEN The team has a number of High School State Champions on it and it seems as though the lowly position occupied by Boston College track has been left in the background for good.

XL By Special Permission of Time, Copyright Time Inc., 1946 Vol. XL No. 17 TIME THE WEEKLY NEWSMAGAZINE June 15,1947 NATIONAL AFFAIRS Grant, Oil, Picket-breaking For fourteen year s this country has carried a burden of war and depression. In all of these years it has also carried the burden of the Democratic party. Then last November the nation spoke. It would now bear the burden of the G. 0. P. Sometime during these years, perhaps it was during the past year, the country changed. The scope of the change was hard to measure. Most historians believed that it was a natural variation which had to occur in a world-minded nation. Was this the reason? Others would not say that it was. They believed that the accent should be put on the failure of the Gov- ernment to give people what they wanted- People were fed up. They had Had Enough! This, more than any other reason, they believed accounted for the change in leadership and planning. What was the history of Republican leadership? People who had hoped for a return of the we know where we ' re going sys- tem had only to turn back the pages of history to study the plan of Republicanism. It was a history book which the G. O. P. was not proud of, in this year of change. It told of the pressure on Andrew Johnson, the first Supreme Court packing, the long years of Grantism, and a nation controlled from the East. Was this what the people wanted? Boston College ' s history professor didn ' t think so. Father Finnegan has often, with a sly and twitching smile, said that people too soon forget the eras of Grant and picket-breaking. Whether the people would be sorry they had changed would depend on the strategy of the new leaders. The public ' s attitude was unmistakeable now. It had had enough of carelessness and undecided- ness, and enough of shortages and strikes. It had in effect voted out a pro-people government and voted in one which it hoped would give to every man his just due. The new few years would be years of watchful waiting, the party going slow lest it offend those who had voted for them, the people anxious lest the big stick should strike too soon. The Veteran and the Mule That the presence of 17,000,000 veter- ans would create many domestic problems the U. S. already knew. Just how great some of the problems were the U. S. saw more clearly last fall when hundreds of Boston College student-veterans failed to receive their subsistance checks. Boston College is one of the U. S. ' s most scholastic of schools. At present its faculty and time is devoted to the edu- cation of thousands of veterans, part of the many who flocked last year to the nation ' s campuses. Working in con- junction with the college is the Veteran ' s Administration (single veterans receive $65 per month, married veterans $90) who. until the fall semester started had worked effectively and efficiently. Now that there was a delay in payments, the V.A. had its problems too. Student Veteran Can ' t Wait Student-veterans, unpaid since June of ' 46, were impatient. Now that the green had gone they looked to a grey and gray winter. They had had a happy summer but now that winter was ap- proaching the problems came too. In nearby Newton , four veterans ' families had grocery bills as high as a P-80 can fly; veterans ' wives stood three deep in the bargain basements. In Boston and its suburbs banks had record withdrawals. Telephones were disconnected. Com- munications were cut off. Home Loan men were doing a record business. From all the students came the same reports. Burdened under so many complaints the V.A. was placed in the limelight. Puzzled and bewildered the represen- tatives could only tell the students — The Veterans must wait. Scholastic Philosoohy is a must major. Then, during November, the puzzle broke. The V.A. had to act. They recog- nized their cue. Veteran opinion had increased. The wives of veterans were tired of breast of frankfurter and they intended to let the V.A. know it. The V.A. did not want that. Then the message came. The Veterans would be paid before Christmas. It was not a moment too soon. The move curtailed veteran sentiment then, but next year the same couldn ' t happen. Another wait would be too much for the veteran. The V.A. would have to act again. Fancy Finance Last fall the College book store took a deep, deep breath and looked pleasingly at the first big batch of first quarter earnings. Then it truly could relax. Despite the strikes, rising costs, ceilings and delayed checks, it had managed to earn a heart-warming amount of folding money. One big reason was that thousands of the once far-flung boys had returned to the campus, and any return to the campus meant a financial turn for the better for the book-store. Here was one corporation for whom strikes turned red into black. Books went literally ceiling high and prices went figuratively higher. Fundamental Psych, long a favorite at $1.50, jumped the tracks to $3.00 while the popular Herzog set kept the same face for a different price. Bright-faced, greying Eddie O ' Connor posed for the Heights photographers in his cash-panelled Chestnut Hill office, while outside the lines went around and around and at times grew so long that it was hard to tell whether the student went to Boston College or to Boston University. Hope For the World It had been like a marathon. There had been an enthusiastic crowd of starters, but the going had been hard and tough, and the contestants were scattered along the whole route, like handbills at election time. Some were crossing the finish line, liking the cheers, glad it was over, but none to sure of what would happen next : these men would henceforth be known as the class of 1947. No one worried too much about the rest of the starters who, like the presi- dent ' s popularity, were still on the way up. Most of them, in the long run, would finish, one way or another, some running, some staggering, some finishing strong. It would all be in the marathon tradition. Boston College Seniors Am To Be I Must Assume Responsibility The real plaudits were being saved for the lucky ones, the first big batch of post war graduates. They were all in the spotlight as they received the symbol of their victory, their diploma. It had been a well earned victory; won by large quantities of pluck and luck, but ' most of them realized that this race had only been a trial heat for another and bigger race, the real race: The World. They all knew that the world they were entering would be totally different from the one they had known. It would be a tired, tried and shaken world, split by theories and practices, inhabited by many forces which ran counter clock- wise to them and all that they repre- sented. Many men had warned them of these forces, but no one had been too sure of what to call them. Bishop Henry Knox Sherrill, Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church in the United States had sounded a vague note of warning in January of 1947. Said Clericommentator Bishop Sherrill: No true Christian can be complacent today about the state of the world, the church or himself — We are, in essence, waging a desperate spiritual war in a most critic- al period of history. Bishop Sherrill was none to sure of the enemy in this war but he was sure that there was a war going on, that there was an enemy to be fought. Monsignor Fulton J. Sheen, professor of Philosophy at the Catholic University of America was more explicit when he called the forces of evil the Anti-Christ. The vigorous protests that answered Monsignor Sheen from all sides, both right and left, left no doubt as to the existence of such an evil. The Boston College graduate had his own name for these forces: materialism. It was an all embracing word and it covered a wide variety of evil. It applied singularly and collectively to the mu lti- tude of forces, small and large, that are working with ant-like persistence and wasp-like fervor to overthrow Christianity. They knew it at Boston College, knew it. recognized it and knew how to fight it. Materialism was nothing new in the world; it only appeared new. It had changed clothing and appeared in many lands but it was still the same diabolical philosophy of Communism in general and Russian Communism in particular. What was this materialism? Material- ism is that philosophy (oddly enough it begins in the mind) which proclaims that the only thing in existence is matter and therefore that there is no spirit. There is only one reality, they say, and that is matter, the blind forces of which evolve into plant, animal and men. Even human society is nothing but a phenomenon and a form of matter, evolving in the same way. In such a doctrine there is no room for God, or even an idea of Him; there is no difference between matter and spirit, between soul and body; there is neither survival of the soul after death nor any hope in a future life. Pope Pius XI called materialism anti-religious for it considered religion as the opiate of the people because the principle of religion which speaks of the life beyond the grave took the proletarait from the dream of paradise which is of this world. That is materialism of its very nature. Its new clothing is nothing but Com- munism which today in the political order is taking away the liberty of a person because it has made the collectivity an absolute from which all liberty and authority comes, the same Communism which today in the economic order is stripping the individual person from his property and his right to property and from that person the ability to work for himself. It is this form of materialism which the graduates of Boston College know and recognize for what it is even in the fanciful trimmings of a classless society. Once this was known they would have to fight. They were well trained for the job. Many educators thought this class was the best educated in the history of the college. Certainly, theirs had been a well rounded education. It had not been the education-in-a-vacuum of many pre-war American colleges in which the students peered uncertainly at the world from behind Gothic arches for four years, then stepped out to face it armed wth little more than poise and a new wrist-watch. The men of the class of 1947 had very literally learned the hard way. They had in their curriculum the most expressive and the most informative subject of all: war. War is the hardest course of all, with the grimest penalty for failure. These men had gone from textbooks to training fields, from sports to slaughter. War had struck with lightning and in a flash they were transformed from students to soldiers, from youths learning for peace to men training for war. War had truly struck with lightning and the bolt had reeled them from their homes, from their country and tossed them into every con- ceivable nook in the world. Now that the war was over they knew beyond statistics, in the hard facts of death and twisted bodies, how much we had paid to win the war, what should be done with our victory. Returning from the war it was in the classroom that they learned to apply what they had seen and heard in the classroom of war and how to beat the swords of war into the weapons of peace for the war against materialism. In this war no steel was used, as yet; this war was being waged in the minds of men. And there was a good chance that the scholastic mind would ' win. It was the able, capable and logical Jesuits who taught these men the way and molded their weaopns. First things were taught first for it is the first princi- ples, which, though they are the last things applied, have to be the first things known. It was in the Gothic-styled college that the finest were schooled in the classics, in the sciences and above all in scholastic philosophy. It was scholastic philosophy which was the proper answer to massed materialism NATIONAL AFFAIRS Boston College Entrance ' Thru These Doors The Finest for scholastic philosophy taught first that there is a God, that man was created by God, and that man was more than a mass of matter mixed in the turmoil of materialism. In truth, that there was a plan in the world, for man came from someplace, had a mission to perform on earth and was destined for some place hereafter. Man, therefore, is the central figure in the war on materialism for a man created it and man would have to destroy it. It would take the complete man, the scholastic man to do this. It would take, in truth, the intelligent man, composed of body and soul, intellect and will, the complete man who has a definite relation to God, to himself and to other men. a man essentially superior to matter and the forces of matter. These things learned, the students could now clash with the evil forces for besides the basic truths of philosophy they had also, through practice, sharpened their minds with logical precision and sharp distinctions. Thus broken down material- ism was nothing to be feared, for it refuted itself. It was, in fact, contrary to itself, for materialism was an idea which influenced history and politics, not simply a case of matter influencing the world. It was clear now that Communism was essentially a philosophic system of thought and that it had, to be an effective defeat, to meet its defeat in the realm of philosophy. Many systems have tried in vain and failed but scholasticism was still holding her own. The world, in this era of conflict and confusion needed such a system of thought. The world also needed such a man, a man who through his study and life, through his thinking and heart could bring hope into all the unfulfilled hopes of a world of people. This man had learned that Being was the most important thing in the world. And if he was to be, he knew he must assume responsibility. The task is great. The world is watching him. God is watching him too. Formula for Peace It was morning and a light March wind tossed a lighter mist against the classroom windows. Inside the students listened intently to the Rev. John O ' Brien, S.J., Chairman of the Department of Philosophy. It was 10:30 A.M. Fifteen minutes later the class entered into a discussion concerning a modern philosophical problem. Did the men who fought the war win only a negative peace? It was as tantalizing a problem as the one: Did they fight in vain? Judgments formed according to the common consent of man and the clear dictates of conscience would lead you to believe that they had. Scholarly Fr. O ' Brien didn ' t think so. The men, he said, fought to bring about a more lawful and intelligent world. While peace is not everywhere immedi- ately existent ... it is valid to conclude . . . that the progress made during and after the war is sufficient to terminate ... in social peace. But . . . the task is not finished. Finally ... to achieve social peace it is necessary that the students of the world face the ever- present problems . . . with scholarly insight and serious study. Peace time battles are all fought ... in the realm of the mind. What was this social peace and what were its implications. To evaluate it properly it is necessary to turn to Thomas of Aquin, the Angelic Doctor of Scholastic Philosophy. For him Social peace . . . was social progress. This was so be- cause the time concept of progress pro- vides for man ' s natural and supernatural ends by its concern for the practice of virtue and the sufficiency of material goods. In order, therefore, It hat all people may live well the concept of social peace implies the ever-presence of Justice and Charity. It implies the practise of them as well. Justice is most important for the maintenance of society and the promotion of social progress for it insures that each man receive his due. Charity, on the other hand, insures that each will obtain peace. The practice of these two virtues, continued Fr. O ' Brien, remains . . . in the hearts of men. Knowledge can promote charity and charity justice. The responsibility of those who won this war ends not with the feeding of famished peoples. but with the exchange of thoughts that pro- mote peace and bring about a progressive social peace. Marine Vet Manning Justice + Charity = Peace A Drop in the Cosmic Bucket William Shafferman had a tedious journey. Weather held up his plane at Cuba and again further along the line. Finally the man arrived at his destination, French Guiana. For those whose lives touched his it was not a minute to soon. For plump, balding, question-marked Mr. Shafferman, French Guiana was an end to months of anxious waiting, a ful- fillment of great hopes, a beginning of his post warfare. It was also the begin- ning of a sad awakening for on his arrival there was no flutter of flags, no spread of red carpets, no guard of honor. Days darkened into nights and nights dawned into days. Finally the Inquisition stood outside the governmental depart- NATIONAL AFFAIRS During the past year in Boston there were 7920 marriages which, translated into a demand for living accommodations, means that there have been 7920 new housing shortages. Multiply this by the number of contemplating companions and you have a fair estimate of future housing worries. One Boston wit re- marked: It ' s easier to get better-halves than good quarters nowadays. Where are they going to build homes? seems to be the question of the day. The word used is homes and not projects, and so we see that people would like Housing Administrators (who to this day have only replaced slums with de- vices which are always excellently heated, shut out more light and as an added feature give more people less air) to think in terms of home ownership. For a home has the adequate accommodations, together with the facilities for privacy and comfort which no project has ever accomplished. The Inquisitor Journey Into Nowhere ment building and demanded the answer. Why was he sent here, and who sanctions this? An immediate reply was not given but it was generally known that the intent was to keep Mr. Shafferman in more distant and far-flung fields. Publications of the details were not known until last month. But the basic purpose of his mission was already known. It embodied a common policy formul- ated previously between department and college authorities, of keeping Mr. Shafferman busy so as not to hinder progressive education. When first the facts were known Mr. Shafferman was unhappy. He made no statement. Reporters who knew the way- farer ' s hostility to such a policy roared with laughter when a spokesman intoned: You would think that there were no further questions. But from Mr. Shaffer- man came— ' Who sanctions this? ' Four Walls a Roof Above . . Housing is a very personal matter. Every man would like to live in his special kind of house. Usually it is the type advertised in Ladies ' and Gentlemen ' s Magazine. Very often it goes no further that the desire of the apartment seeker who said: Any place to live— just as long as it is close to the local liquor mart. Housing is that personal. Since man has always wanted a par- ticular place to hang his hat we have always had a housing problem. Only recently, since Mr. Citizen discovered that he needs such a place, have we had a housing shortage. For the present man has had to disregard the cozy pictorial cottage as the ideal living place, for he knows that building it is an idle dream. from excavators to electricians. Col- lectively they are proud of the boast, . . . Ours is a strong union! Selectively their prices are enough to make any man forego his Saturday-night poker. But it will take that, and more, not the cramped quarters of little Miss Muffet, to get Jack to build a new house. A Stimulating Shakesperian While Bostonian theatregoers took what laughs they could from Call Me Mister , they also took a few thoughts from Fr. Bonn ' s majestic production of Othello. Boston had anxiously awaited the re- turn of dramatist Fr. Bonn. Last De- cember they got him. The play was given its U. S. premier in Boston ' s famed Pilate ' s Daughter Hall. When it was staged there there was brought to the stage the deep purple and the tragedy of the greatest dramatic poet who ever lived. It was unmistakable. Fr. Bonn was of the Spirit of Shakespeare. The production consumed two hours and twenty minutes. Seldom during that time did it fall short, or even deviate from the best that its author gave it. Almost continually the BC players enhanced Shakespeare and the art of stage-production by giving both a new character, a new glory. Sometimes it even surpassed the original. Loud applause therefore goes to Fr. Bonn. Spry, but black at the temples, Fr. Bonn is also a noted author (So Falls the Elm) and an eminent Professor of English Literature. When the war came Fr. Bonn went too. Serving with the far-flung U. S. Navy in the far reaches of the Pacific he distinguished himself well and would have continued had he not been wounded by the engagement of Truk. Undaunted he returned to Boston College where, though he retains the Painter Linehan Paint Too One of the country ' s leading pro- ponents for home ownership is Prof. Irwin of Boston College. Prof. Irwin, an eminent sociologist in his own right, at a recent housing convention said, Eighty-five per- cent of the people prefer home ownership. Home ownership is desired by all. It is true, however, he added, that this does not always work out, for some people paint their houses and others do not. But on the whole most are painted. Building homes, however, is not as simple as it was a century ago when sturdy yeoman gathered from miles around to raise a roof (and also a little cain) for a neighbor. To-day it demands the skill of some twenty specialized trades, Boston College ' s Fr. Bonn Amid the Elms, Thought NATIONAL AFFAIRS scars of battle, he now freshens the mind. Since his return he has earned a solid reputation as a great Shakesperian. Seldom in a day had the Boston papers spoken as they did. Magnificent, awe- inspiring. One immediately perceived it as a notable advance in the progress of promoting Shakespeare. and again, Fr. Bonn has left the earth. Still black at the temples Fr. Bonn had little to say despite the avalanche of acclaim. To him Shakespeare and the great conflict were both stimulating, stimulating, just stimulating. Val and Paul There was war and all the grownups were gone, flung far across the seas. Then there was the surrender, the surprise one and the real one. After that there was the trip home, readjustment and the teen age problem. The teen age was one of the things the country created while the veterans were away. And homebound men didn ' t like it. The veteran was home now and his many months in many lands had changed him. Some men, men who had had less hazardous jobs and who spent less time doing them, talked with question- able familiarity about the places they had seen; others, those who had fought the war, said little. They said little now. But there was a time when they had tried to describe a nation, a world of people on a V mail. They wrote from London, from Belfast, and then as the armies moved across the continent, from Paris, Luxembourg; and in the Pacific from Manila, Sydney, Guam. Now that they were home they had grown wiser. The world had not changed much to them. To them the world was just as big as it was in geography class, the oceans just as large, the countries just as vast and the people just as complex as they always had been and would be. To them riots in Trieste were the results of cultural and religious clashes as well as political, and the breakouts in the Slavic countries were but one sign of the philosophical invasion of Russian material- ism which was now threatening the world. Then came Val and Paul. Val and Paul (H. Leonard Valway, Richard Paul Wilkas) are two intellectual teen agers. judging from the manner they pen their names. They are also ad- venturous teen agers, for when the war had ended they with youthful enthusiasm, embarked for parts west and south. Their mission? To bring to focus the many points, political and otherwise, which had managed to escape scholarly corre- spondents and wayfarying warriors. To them the world was shrinking and so they wanted to take off before there was nothing to see. They would go to the continent. Now that was a nice word, the continent. They would go there and re- Fellow Traveler Wilkas A New Puff of Wind turn and write and write and write. This is like what they wrote. Val looked at me. I looked at Val. It was great to be on the continent. I looked at my passport. Val looked at me. I looked at Val. The trip over was fine. We landed in Cherbourg and then crossed the border. On the coast you could see boats worming their way across the Atlantic. Franco? Well, he was like a pilot who could land on one of 3 fields. He would land on the field named Monarchy. This manner and method of reporting is nothing new. At best it was nice for the folks to keep in touch with them, at worse it disturbed proper perspection. Most of the reports carried descriptions of buildings and the sea or how it felt at a Spanish bull fight. It did little to present a scholarly and intelligent picture of Spain and her people. Such reporting was not unusual in this artificial age. It added to the list of these articles and books which stress the incidentals while forsaking the essentials. This was the wind of the age, to catch people, their thoughts, their feelings in a wisp of mind. But i t takes more than that. All of which proved conclusively to many a tried and sometimes tired veteran that which other 3 weeks in a place and then write a book authors had taught them previously. Val and Paul were young, it is true, but until they had several Hershey bars , or their equivalent, their puff of wind would only fade away. Notification that the breeze had lowered its velocity was in evidence last month when the Heights, official news organ of the college, discontinued the talk of the trip just as it was nearing the States.

A PROMINENT SPOT ON MAIN STREET ▲ V V ITHIN the past year A P has been mentioned as part of the story or dialogue in at least 47 popular books of fact and fiction. Well, that ' s perfectly natural, because we provide 6,000,000 American families with good food at low cost. Wherever plain people live, the A P is an important part of their daily lives. Years ago it was the familiar red-fronted grocery store. Today the super market, carrying over two thousand different items, is as much a part of the American scene as the town hall or Main Street or the village green. No wonder so many chroniclers of American life put the A P into their narratives! We ' re flattered to turn up in 47 books. But we know — and we think you know, too — that institutions like the A P are built on generations of hard work and public service. If we ' re a fixture in American life, it ' s because the men and women of A P have worked constantly for over 86 years to do the nation ' s most efficient job of food distribution.
