Roberts who, over years beyond our remembrance, without stint or remission, have been the friends of Boston College men, founding so many of their intellectual efforts, leading them in the way of loyalty, worshipping daily at their side in Saint Mary ' s Chapel, this hook recording our days, SUB TURRI, is respectfully dedicated. MR. VINCENT P. ROBERTS IDEALS OF BOSTON COLLEGE MRS. VINCENT P. ROBERTS WE ARE HEIRS TO A The thrilling sight of lofty towers, majestic lines and imposing grandeur is readily had from every conceivable angle at Boston College. Among the more breathtaking views of the college is the one which may be obtained from the Lawrence Reservoir which rests at the foot of Boston College and is so often the mirror of Gothic beauty. Boston College and its environs are familiarly, almost intuitively, known as Universit ' Heights by all who have been privileged to bear witness to the architectural gems, the immense vistas, and dramatic elevations with which our Alma Mater has been endowed by men and nature. Sites of the beauty and majesty of Boston College present a problem of grave importance to those whose task it was, and ever is, to build wisely, inspiringly, triumphantly upon the superb property which God and the community had committed to their care in December of 1907. As the potentialities of the locale became increasingly clear to them, the designers of the new Boston College were faced with a difficulty which they gloriously solved by gracing and blessing Chestnut Hill with the enduring heritage of a Gothic crown. By the spring of 1913, the initial stroke of genius was finally translated into the noble Tower Building which focuses the attention of all who approach upon the Christian philosophy and educational purposes of Boston College. RICH HISTORY Upon the completion of the Tower Building, the determination of the Administra- tion to persevere in the literature of stone according to the Gothic tradition, was irrevocably established. Something essential to the life of the college was still lacking, however, and the Board of Trustees, fully cognizant of the need of a faculty residence, immediately launched the construction of the stately Saint Mary ' s Hall whose dedica- tion in January of 1917 consummated the final separation from the old college build- ings in the South End of Boston. The First World War, with its concomitant restrictions on buildings, forced a halt to the remarkable progress that had taken place on University Heights in a decade. In many respects this pause was an opportune one for the Board of Trustees because i t provided them with an opportunity to count their blessings, assay their needs and anticipate the problems of the future. The return of peace in 1919 became the occa- sion for renewed efforts on the part of the Administration to continue the expansion of the college. The successful campaign of 1921 for two million dollars made possible the construction of Science Hall in which the motives of Gothic architecture are scrupulously preserved and the inauguration of work upon the Library whose com- pletion in the summer of 1928 added new beauty and meaning to the unfolding scene of architectural triumph. AND SHARE THE SPLENDOR The five towers of Boston College are a reminder to all who move in their majestic shadows of the transitory nature of the things of this world. They point the way to eternal values, to the only lasting realities, to the One, Infinite, Eternal God. In this respect the founders and builders of Alma Mater gave rich, masterful expression to the hopes and aspirations of those zealous Catholics whose mites made this grandeur possible. Have they labored well in your behalf, gentlemen of the Class of 1949? Have we even remotely approached the measure of their sacrifice for the greater glory of God? Have you made firm your resolution to be a worthy heir to the traditions and blessings of your Boston College, Jesuit education? Whatever our answers may be, we will find that the five towers of Boston College assume new significance after contemplation of the prayer of dedication which the second Founder of Boston College, Very Rev. Thomas I. Gasson, S.J., uttered thirty- six years ago in the vaulted Rotunda beneath the first and greatest of our towers : May this edifice ever have upon it the blessings of the Most High; may it ever be the source of honor and of joy to the Church and her rulers; may it ever be the pro- tection of the people and a firm bulwark to the country which we love so well, and to the State of which we are so justly proud. The Science Hall of Boston College manifests a practical, straight-forward design entirely in keeping with its na- ture. Its distinctiveness among the other buildings arises from its expansive piazza and the graceful tourelle which crowns its arched and beautifully elaborated entrance. OF OUR BUILDING Perhaps the most beautiful building on the campus and by far one of the most magnificent structures of its type in the nation is the Boston College Library. Its sturdy, truncated tower, its quiet, gracious beauty give it a unique splendor. i ' -Hiill il it l . ■ ■ Hllfg 11 11 II • ■{ Un tll oil tili .: Ill ill lit III s n, JL 11 II; Laborious efforts and careful planning have made possible the twin modified Gothic towers which dominate the new, beautiful College of Business Administration. :0 % ' 1 r i - . BOOK HE PERSONIFIES OUR VERY REVEREND WILLIAM L. KELEHER, S.J. President of Boston College MOTTO ' £vsi i. io £xaiL To the Class of ig4Q: As we come to the close of your undergraduate days, there is no reason for me to remind you again of what you know so well, the duties and obligations incumbent upon you because of the privileged years here at Boston College. I know that the counsel and advice of your professors will not be forgotten as you take your place in a new walk of life. The world into which you will move will not be waiting for all of you with open arms; men of your principles and ideals will find many obstacles in your paths, but men of your courage will not be turned aside in your efforts to make of yourselves all that Alma Mater expects of you, and so effect a very substantial contribution in the civic and social circles in which, you will live. While you leave the campus this year, you are not leaving Boston College.- Those men whose lives have been dedicated to your Catholic education will follow you in their minds and their prayers wherever you go and always stand ready to welcome home everyone of you. Your successes will be our joys, your troubles, our anxieties, and I hope that each of you will retain an interest and love of the College that will match the interest we have in you. God ' s best blessings attend you always and crown your efforts with the best possible reward, the glory that comes to him who has used his talents for the honor and glory of God. ? Uc P s . William L. Klleiier, S.J. President BOARD STEES First Row: Joseph R. Walsh, S.J., Daniel J. Lynch, S.J., William L. Keleher, S.J., John C. O ' Connell, S.J., John A. Tobin, S.J. Second Row: Ernest B. Foley, S.J., Stephen A. Shea, S.J., James D. Sullivan, S.J., Thomas M. Herlihy, S.J. Great plans can have no real beginning or permanent success if their execution becomes the responsibility of men of little wisdom and less experience. At Boston Col- lege, with notable consistency, the dreams of yesterday are in ever-increasing measure the realities of today. Architectural and educational triumphs such as Boston College, however, are not the offspring of chance or the flowering of fancy. Such accomplishments are indeed the fruit of wisdom and experience, planning and perspective and the very noblest of courage. Gentlemen of the Class of 1949! All that Boston College has given us is ultimately the handiwork of the Board of Trustees, the source of all collegiate authority. Like a council of ministers, they have aided and encour- aged our President, Very Rev. William L. Keleher, S.J., in his efforts to build a greater Boston College. The new College of Business Administration building is the meas- ure of their achievement under the leadership of Father Keleher. Where, gentlemen, where in all America can one hnd such magnificent proof of the silent influence of great architecture than at University Heights? In what college is there a more intimate union between religion and the fine arts than in our own ? Is there even one among our thousands who has not been translated into a better man through the wisdom and training of the Society- of Jesus? Through the years, the abiding pres- ence of the Board of Trustees has made possible the wedding of religion and the fine arts on Chestnut Hill and the continuation of the educational efforts of the Jesuit Fathers. Because our present Board of Trustees with Father Keleher as their leader and inspiration have placed before us every possible religious, educational, and cultural op- portunity, we should pledge to them our undivided loyalty, our fervent allegiance. DEANS Charged with the responsibility of training students in the rich traditions of the humanities, sciences, and allied fields, the new Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, Rev. Ernest B. Foley, S.J., has impressed all with the friendly yet vigorous manner in which he con- ducts the business of his high office. Of exceptional ac- complishment in Economics, his first love, blessed with remarkable energy and perspective. Father Foley richly deserves all the esteem and affection which the Class of 1949 profers to him. May the greatness of his ability assure him ad multos annos ! Vith small beginnings, but now a noble realization, the College of Business Administration has brought new life and beauty to Boston College. Under the aegis of its kindly, capable new Dean, Rev. James D. Sullivan, S.J., the College of Business Administration continues to emphasize the refinement, discipline and training of the whole man. An ethician and_ administrator of great repute prior to his recent appointment. Father Sullivan manifests all the attributes of leadership so essential to his important position. To him the Class of 1949 ex- tends confidence, friendship, and an earnest hope for his continued success. REV. JOHN P. FOLEY, S.J.

For it was enkindled by Saint Ignatius Loyola in the Ratio Atque Insti- tutio Studioruin Societatis Jesu and for exactly three and one-half centuries it has directed trends of thought; it has moulded lives.

For venerable old age is not that of long time, nor counted by tlie number of years; hut tlie understanding of a man is grey hairs. And a spotless life is old age. He pleased God and was beloved, and living among sinners he was translated. He ivas taken aivay lest wickedness should alter his understand- ing, or deceit beguile his soul. For the bewitching of vanity obscureth good things, and the wan- dering of concupiscence overturneth the innocent mind. Being made perfect in a short space, he fulfilled a long time: For his soul pleased God: therefore he hastened to bring him out of tlie midst of iniquities: but the people sec this, and under- stand not nor lay up such things in their hearts: That the grace of God and his mercy is with his saints, and that he hath respect to his chosen. But the just that is dead, condcmneth tlie wicked thai are living, and youth soon ended, the long life of the unjust. Book of Wisdom IV: 7-16 GEORGE S. ZION MEMORIAM The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want notlnnij. He hath set me in a place of pasture. He hath brought me up, on the ivater of refreshment: he hath converted my soul. He hath led me on the paths of justice, for his o-zin name ' s sake. For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I tuill fear no evils, for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they have comforted me. Thou has prepared a table before me, against them that afflict me. Thou hast anointed my head with oil; and my chalice which inebriateth me, hoiu goodly is it! And thy mercy will follow me all the days of my life. And that I may dwell in tlic house of the Lord unto length of days. Book of Psalms XXII: 1-6 Out of tJie depth 1 have cried to thee, O Lord: Lord, hear my voice. Let thy ears be attentive to the -voice of my supplication. If thou, O Lord, nvilt mark iniquities: Lord, ' who shall stand it. My soul hath relied on his word: my soul hath hoped in the Lord. Book of Psalms CXXIX:]-5 ROBERT B. MacDOUGALL WE STAND AT THE A History is the narrative of events. Yet the proximity of these events is such that it would be exceedingly diffi- cult to get a true perspective under our present limita- tions of time and of space. Conscious of these limitations, we can only present the facts and their immediate effects upon our beloved college. The Class of ' 49 is a heterogeneous group, composed of members of different age groups and background. The reason for the appearance of these various elements is the same reason for all the confusion and disorder in the world at large today — the after-effects of World War II. The greatest of wars caused these changes, and since the men of Boston College were so seriously and fundamentally influenced by that conflict, we find it best to divide our history into three distinct phases: Pli ne I would include those uncertain days during the earlv part of the war when men entering Boston College in 1942 could only study and wait uneasily until their number was called to enter the Armed Services. Phase II might be called the Struggle on the Heights — the difficulty that Alma Mater experienced in keeping her doors open to students who had not yet been called into service. In this phase, we might also consider the nearly six-hundred sons of Boston College who were writ- ing their own history in the many battles being waged on every continent throughout the globe. Phase III we may aptly call The Return of the Veteran — a presentation of the problems and difficulties which the veteran had to contend with, and those which Alma Mater had to face in helping her sons readjust their academic life. Following as closely as possible this order, we begin our history: I ' HASJi I . . . Anxious Da)s. Though seven long years have now passed, it seems as if it were only yesterday — that great September of 1942. It all started with that long walk up the sun-drenched hill from Lake Street, down the avenue between the stately linden trees, and into the hustle, bustle and con- fusion awaiting us under the towers . How we were in another world — a world of forms, endless forms to be filled out in duplicate and triplicate — a world of ques- tions, questions from secretaries, clerks, and from equally confused fellow-freshmen. Slowly the confusion subsided and a certain order took its place as we filed into the Library Auditoruim for our orientation. Here we were introduced to the Jesuit system of education as we listened to the welcome from the Dean, the simple and heartfelt speech from the Student Counselor, and outlines of the 28 END OF A ROAD various activities and opportunities available at Boston College. We settled down quickly after that first week. By this time we knew the location of the Library Building, the Tower Building, the Science Building, and St. Mary ' s Hall. We could find T-304 and S-8 without first asking directions from some very amused upper-classmen. We sat in awe and silence in the Latin class, and in the mathematics class our eyes did not waver for a second. The weeks flew by — and the football season was upon us. Saturday after Saturday we hiked out to Fenway Park to watch our mighty Eagles beat all opposition into helpless submission. New cheers and new songs were in evidence throughout Boston. Give it to Mike! could be heard any Saturday afternoon out at the ball field, and a new song was sweeping the College, a parody on the famous war song, Praise the Lord and Give the Ball to Mike. We knew we had a great football team. We were ready for the Cross . Already plans were being made for a trip to New Orleans and another crack at the mythi- cal championship. We will never forget that bleak, desolate Saturday when the once glorious Eagles were ground into the mud of Fenway Park. It was beyond understanding — beyond belief. But understanding came that night as we danced In the ballroom of the Hotel Statler, and the chill whisper swept through the room : The Coconut Grove is on fire!! It was difficult to settle down to our books once again after the excitement of the past weeks, but the semester exams loomed before us and rumor told us to expect the worst. Christmas vacation arrived with all the fes- tivity of that beautiful season ; and with this brief respite came preparation for the mid-term examinations. New Year ' s Day saw Boston College being entertained by Alabama in the Orange Bowl. A score of the more financially able students made the trip to the warmth of Golden Florida, but the majority had to be satisfied with the radio account of the great game. Exams came and went — and always the regret that we had not studied just a little harder. Although the tension of the exams was past, an element of anxiety still re- mained, for the rumble of war grew more distinct and evidences of its influence appeared on all sides. Study had become deadly serious business, for now Uncle Sam had a hand in it. The Army Reservists were leaving every day, and the V-1 and V-12 students awaited their notices by the hour. The change had come with sudden swiftness. One month we were preparing for football — the next, for war. As we strove for some equilibrium during this unsettled period, the inspiration and understanding of the good Jesuits helped far more than we will ever realize. But their numbers, too, were being diminished, as one after another left the serenity of classroom life for the stench of the battlefield. We continued to study, plaj ' — and pray. Boston College started its United War Fund Drive in conjunction with the City of Boston on January 22 of the memorable year 1943, and on the same day the Music Club was forced to disband due to transportation difficulties and a dearth of students. Oh yes, gasoline rationing was catching up with us more and more. Now the hoys were more in- terested in getting a C on their front windshield than an A on their report cards. But gas or no gas, most of us were out to watch the Eagles put up a great game against Dartmouth on January 24. On the forensic scene, John Nicholson was elected President of the; Marquette, but the activities of this organization were also restricted because of war conditions. In February, B.C. began its unprecedented war pro- gram, instituting an accelerated college course. New Freshme n stumbled through familiar corridors, just as OUR GOAL ACHIEVED we had a few short months before. The Freshman Dance was held at New England Mutual Hall this month, and it was a gala evening as we danced to the music of Bob Shaw ' s music. Midway in the festivities, Nick Flynn, president of the Senior Class, presented to Jack Sheehan, our president, the class banner to carry with us for our four years at Boston College. March, at Boston College, was both a good and a bad month. It started off with the Dramatic Club pro- duction of Room Service . The hockey team finished its season with an excellent six won, two lost, record. To- ward the end of March, however, the bad news came. The Army Reservists were called into active duty. About the same time, the Navy Department announced that Lieutenant Joseph Gately, one of Boston College ' s greatest heroes, had been cited for distinguished service. On April 2, two captains of the French Navy visited the Heights and related to the French Club a first-hand account of conditions in Nazi-occupied France. B.C. re- turned to the sports pages of the country when Herb Mc- Kenley, the Jamacia flash, cavorted over the cinder track for Coach Jack Ryder. Our Freshman year was nearly over. Finals remained — and then back to school after a week ' s vacation. But before leaving the Heights, we went out to cheer the baseball teams in the last fling before athletics at B.C. were relegated to the informal status. Our Freshman year came to a close in May of 1942, and for most of us it brought to a close our college career for the next few years. Before we left, there was the Farewell Dance at the Liggett Estate whi ch was declared by all to be one of the finest dances ever attended during their college career. It was a grand way of saying fare- well for awhile to our Alma Mater, and even to this date it is vivid in the minds of those who attended. PHASE II . . . Struggle on the Heights. From June of 1943 until June of 1945, men of Boston College were spread throughout the entire world. Prac- tically every gravel-crushing outfit from the 1st In- fantry to the Roaring Lion of the 106th had a Boston College representative. From the storming of the beaches at Normandy to the surrender on the Elb ; and from the fall of the Philippines to the formal surrender of Japan on the brightly-polished decks of the Missouri, the men of Boston College were there ! ! In the absence of the great numbers of students , life on University Heights nearly petered out. The pulse of life was feeble as the student body was reduced to a scanty few. The arrival of the Army Specialized Training Unit was an adrenaline shot to the dying heart. This unit, plus the arrival of spasmodic groups of high-school graduates, helped to keep open our doors of learning. It was June 11, 1945 that witnessed the arrival of a handful of new students to University Heights. Since this group was, for the most part, composed of high school graduates who had not entered the service and were destined to graduate in the Class of ' 49, we can continue OUR PURPOSE WON the school year, and also Father Keleher ' s arrival as the new President of Boston College. Studies were resumed at a rapid pace, and the informal football team tried desperately to regain some of the glory of previous B.C. stalwarts. General Al McClellan joined the coaching staff about this time, and got the best possible results from the basketball team. While Mother Cabrini, the great American nun, was being considered for canonization, we were enjoying the oratory of Father McGovern in our annual retreat. As the United Nations Organization was being organized to insure world peace, oganization at the Heights reached a new peak. The Stylus and the Heights , though operating well during the years of drought, were enlarged with greater staffs, reporters, writers, and equipment. The language clubs and debating societies, the Dramatic society, and the Sodality all ex- panded with the influx of students. At this time the whole school was optimistically looking forward to the next season ' s football schedule as the news came that former Lieutenant Commander Denny Myers would be at the Heights to conduct spring practice. PHASE III . . . The Return of the Veteran. the chronological development of our history by relating some of their experiences. The campus was, at this time, practically without up- per-classmen, and consequently the new-comers were spared the embarassment arising from the confusion natural to most novices. Gradually the freshmen became familiar with the Deans, the Counselors, and the priests of the College, and in short order adjusted themselves to college life in wartime. We realized that we were privi- leged to have this opportunity and intended to make the most of it by constant application to our studies. In the absence of extra-curricular activities, Softball and basket- ball furnished many hours of enjoyment, since every- thing was on an informal basis. In this accelerated fashion, the summer session passed, ending on August 4. During that month, the war in the Pacific ended and the college looked forward once again to the return of her scattered student body. In September of 1945, the student body numbered 700, a decided increase over the enrollment of 350 in 1944. The Mass of the Holy Ghost, celebrated by the Very Reverend Father Keleher, marked the official opening of To most people, the Ides of March carries with it the warning from the Collector of Internal Revenue that the profits should be declared before the deadline. But this historic season had a particular significance at Boston College. It was not a warning of impending disaster; rather it meant the end of a sinister chapter in the lives of those whose liberal education had included a concrete course in scientific warfare. It marked the beginning of a new and promising chapter as war-weary men returned to the classsrooms they had left behind. Although many changes awaited us on our return to civilian life, we were most impressed by the fact that the beautiful campus of Boston College remained exactly as we had left it. We had expected to find Jack Ryder stand- ing in the same place, wearing the same overcoat, holding the same stop-watch. And we did ! Somehow we expected to find Mai, little Billy, Father Terry McGovern all eager to welcome us back. And we did ! The cafeteria, the Senior Lounge, and the Commander Shea Room were more crowded than ever before. Now the college took on a new vitality. Her sons had returned ! For some, adjustment to class, teachers, books, and class- mates was difficult. For others, adjustment came more easily. The scientist and the mathematician again became the slave to the slide-rule. The pre-med students once again watched the movements of the amoebae in endless tascination. The classical student returned to the Golden Age with celerity. Experienced veterans found time to counsel innocent youths on the complexities of Army life, as they anxiously awaited the machinery of Selective Service. The non-vets were of invaluable assistance to their veteran classmates, who were trying to get back into the social swing, by introducing them to many young ladies from Emmanuel, Regis, and Simmons. The New- man Club dances, the Junior League Sunday Night In- formal, and the nurses ' dances at St. Elizabeth ' s and St. Margaret ' s were the talk of the campus. But almost be- fore we knew it, the hour had arrived. Exams! The stu- dent body immediately showed signs of returning to nor- malcy by reverting to form. Worry, cramming, hoping, re- joicing Sophomores, we faced and passed the acid test. By September of 1946, the enrollment at Boston Col- lege reached an all-time high of 6,151 students. The col- lege authorities had foreseen the unprecedented enrollment and streamlined the campus accordingly. The Cafeteria had been remodeled and enlarged. Freshman Field was the site of three dormitories, a classroom building and a gymnasium. We were greeted by our professors and as- signed texts for the coming year. This led to the first athletic event of the season. The game was known as bucking the line . The object of the game was to get in line and attempt to remain standing until six o ' clock in an effort to catch a glimpse of Eddie O ' Connor. Father Leonard gave an inspiring discourse at the annual Mass of the Holy Ghost which was celebrated on Alumni Field. He stressed the fact that war with the forces of evil must end in unconditional surrender — that it was the task of the student to subdue the assailant with courage and virtue. The sermon struck a familiar note with the large veteran element, since the good Fath er used concrete military analogies. While the Red Sox were running away with the American League Pennant in August, Coach Denny Myers issued a call for all candidates to prepare for the coming season. A large squad, of unknown quality, would face a typical B.C. schedule. At times the squad reached pre-war form, but the season ended with the favored Eagles being downed by the Purple Crusader. Wait ' til next year ! With the return to the campus in September of 1947, we noticed many changes. The R.O.T.C. Field Artillery Unit was established at the Heights, young ladies from the Nursing school were using our laboratories and facili- ties, and the creation of the first representative Student Council — all contributing to the impresssion that Boston College was making the first move in its expansion pro- gram. In conjunction with the beginning of classes, the Boston College Building Fund Drive to raise $600,000 was officially launched. Junior Class elections were held, and throughout the year we were ably represented by our President, Bill McCarthy, whose popularity continued to grow as students realized how untiring his efforts were to make a better Boston College. Bill Murdock was elected Vice-president; John Duff, Secretary; Charlie Mc- Coy, Treasurer; and Dick Riley, A.A. Representative. The Junior Prom that 5 ' ear was the social event of the season, taking place at the Hotel Bradford where Al Donahue directed the music for the evening. The football season ended with a gloomy note, how- ever, since the oft-beaten Holy Cross eleven emerged vic- torious. We of the Junior Class now had only one more chance for victory — just one more chance. At the con- clusion of the season, big, genial John Furey was elected Captain of the 1948 eleven. The hockey team annexed the Sand ' s Memorial Trophy, representative of its New England Intercol- legiate Championship. The team played in the N.C.A.A. Hockey Tournament at Colorado Springs. Ray Carr was chosen captain of the basketball team that season, and B.C. sportdom was further thrilled when it learned of the triumph of the ski team in its first competition. September of ' 48 was the beginning of the home- stretch. Father Ernest Foley, the new Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, greeted the returning, sun-tanned students. The new College of Businesss Administration building had been completed during the summer months and was the pride and joy of the college. Every student had an opportunity to familiarize himself with this new edifice, since the book-store had been moved to its lower floor. Shortly after its completion it was announced that Father Kelley was appointed as the new Rector of Boston College High School and the ever popular Father James Sullivan assumed his duties as the new Dean of the College of Business Administration. The football season of ' 48 opened with a victory over Wake Forest under the lights at Braves Field. George- town was the next team to feel the steel of the Eagle ' s talons down at the nation ' s Capital. After two set-backs at the hands of Mississippi and Clemson, the B.C. squad tied William and Mary in a hard-fought contest. Next the Cross! That fateful day in November of 1942 was still fresh in the minds of everyone. This had to be the year. The drought had lasted too long. Surely the rains would come. Spirit reached a new peak on the campus. On the night before the game, the largest torchlight parade ever held by Boston College men wended its way through downtown Boston. The B.C. -Holy Cross game of ' 48 was hard-fought, but in the final analysis, the score indicated that at long last the jinx had breen broken. The 21-20 victory gave Captain John Furey, Will De- Rosa, Tom Brennan, Bernie Lanoue, and the entire Senior Class a fitting climax to their college careers. The passing of the football season gave other activities the much-deserved spotlight. Bob Kelleher was chosen Knight-Commander of the Cross and Crown. A new phrase — SUB TURRI — was heard around the campus, with the announcement from the President of the College that Bill McCarthy and Paul Mitchell had been ap- pointed co-editors of the Boston College Year Book. The work done by the co-editors and their staff in the hercu- lean task of raising money for this endeavor was magnifi- cent. Dances were held almost weekly to help allay the tremendous cost. A stellar sports ' night, featuring many prominent men in the sporting world, was held under the auspices of the SUB TURRI, at which the Honorable Maurice J. Tobin, Secretary of Labor, made an appear- ance and displayed a genuine enthusiasm for everything Boston College. In addition to its regular tasks, the SUB TURRI undertook the sponsorship of the Catholic Publi- cations Conference which was held at University Heights in May of 1949, at which the newspapers, magazines, and yearbook of the Catholic schools and colleges were com- pared and discussed in a fine series of lectures and con- ferences. The annual retreat of the college was held the last week in October, with Father Wennerburg as retreat- master, and was of particular importance since is was our last as students of Boston College. On the day that Harry Truman was elected President of the United States, the Senior Class elected John DriscoU, Hank Barry, Bob Curran, and Charlie McKenna as their class officers and Leo McGillicuddy as their Athletic Representative. The Dramatic Society presented the Shakespearean comedy, The Tempest , as its feature work of the season, ably directed by Father Bonn. The activities of the N.F.C.C.S. reached international scope under the leader- ship of Jim McA ' Nulty. The inspiration and gentle prodding of Father Doherty, the Student Councillor, made the Sodality truly active. The Nocturnal Adoration by Boston College men at St. Clement ' s Eucharistic Shrine was truly one of the holiest and best of works . As these words are being written, men are being tried by courts of so-called justice for the only crime of worship- ping God. We leave our beloved college to face this materialistic world. Though many members of the class of ' 49 spent seven years before reaching this eventful day, there may be class histories in the future at Boston College that will cover corresponding lengths of time. It is our only wish that, if such be the case, our college fare as well and prosper as much as she has in the past seven years. We wish to acknowlege our gratitude to Alma Mater for the strength and virtue which her example has given us. May we always be worthy of our training, our teachers, and our beloved College. John D.

The first section, numbering eighty-five members, began its studies in Febru- ary. The September group of 262, however, forms the main bulk of the class. This heavy enrollment necessitated the reopening of Cardinal O ' Connell Hall and the Museum. The 70 per cent veteran element reflected the country-wide search for knowledge by those who had been in uniform. The organization of activities at first was hampered by our newness to the college and to one another, but within one short month this initial handicap had vanished. From the time of tag football contests in the Fall to the Intra- mural Softball games in April, Freshman year cemented our friendships. The summer vacation over, September, 1947, found us back at our classrooms. In our short absence, the College had erected a temporary building to accommodate the ever-increasing enrollment. With the first of October, extra-curricular activities commenced. The Business Club, The Ad Club, and The Export-Import Club became energetic societies with Juniors in the forefront. A fairly successful football season was drawing to a close when our class elections took place. The campaign- ing was particularly active and those who secured admin- istrative posts were: Francis O ' Donnell, President; Wil- liam P. Driscoll, Vice President; Edward Madden, Secre- tar) ' ; James ScoUin, Treasurer; and William Harney, A.A. Representative. Under their direction. Sophomore year for us was an eventful one. Our Prom, jointly sponsored with the Arts and Sciences Sophomores in May, 1948, culminated the social activities. The banquet of the Business Club in April, at which Mr. Charles Luck- man, President of Lever Brothers, was the guest speaker, ■was another outstanding success of which the Class of ' 50 could be justly proud. In sports, this Sophomore year was an outstanding one for C.B.A. men. John Mclntire, John Gallagher, Warren Lewis, and Norman Dailey were our cla s repre- sentatives on the New England Championship Hockey Team. Danny Bricker and Mort Stagoff ably displayed their above-average abilitv for the Basketball team. Whereas a year previously we had returned to the campus to find a temporary building erected, September, 1948 found us in the spacious classrooms of the new CBA building. A beautiful structure, its architecture imparted a rising effect to the buildings as one viewed the over- all scene from Beacon St. Through the speedy action of the Student Council, preparations for class elections got under way. To administer our affairs we elected William Driscoll, President; James A. Scollins, Vice President; James F. Malloy, Secretary; Robert F. Harwood, Treas- urer; and Jasper T. Grassa, A.A. Representative. Wil- liam J. Lynch was elected by vote of both Arts and Sciences and the CBA Juniors to act as Chairman for the Junior Prom. Late in the afternoon of a cold November day, we, along with thousands of undergraduates from the Heights, wildly cheered as our Eagles defeated the Purple of Holy Cross. Seven hundred couples jammed the Copley Plaza that night as a Victory dance proclaimed our team ' s triumph. During the Christmas vacation, mail bags supplanted book bags as we aided the Post Office in its distribution of holiday packages. Two short weeks after our return, semester exams commenced. With these obstacles hurdled, the routine of class days returned on January 24. A month later, on February 25, the biggest social event of our college days, the Junior Prom, was held in the main ballroom of the Statler. The favor, a pendant imprinted with the B.C. seal, attracted everyone ' s praise. Freddy Guerra provided the music for this memorable dance. The first post-war Junior Week at the Heights ex- tended from May 1 to 6. With the cooperation of Arts and Sciences officers, a varied program that offered much enjoyment was formulated for the Junior Class. Among the-e events were: a night at the Pop ' s Concert, a Father and Son Sports Night, and a Communion Breakfast. We here extend best wishe to the Classs of 1949. May God always be with vou. JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS— C. B. A. Seated: W. Driscoll. Standing: J. Molloy, W. Lynch, R. Har- wood, J. Scollin. FOR THE THIRD YEAR The Class of 1950 enjoyed the distinction of bein the largest in the hiftory of Boston College. Of its 731 members, whose ages range from the teens to the thirties, 483 are veterans of World War II. This represents the New England States, Pennsylvania, and New York. Shortly after becoming Freshmen in 1946, we ex- perienced our first Boston College Retreat. The inspir- ing words of Fr. St. John, our Retreat-master, initiated us into the Spirit of Boston College and reminded us of our function here. Within a few months, an all-Freshman cast presented Alcestis , the first in a series of fine Dramatic productions to which our class has contributed much talent. With the advent of our Sophomore year, the C.B.A. Building Fund drive vas m ' cW under way. By the active solicitation of funds, in cooperation with the faculty, alumni, and undergraduates, the Class realized a total of 13,900 dollars. In May of the same year, the annual Prom was held, under the chairmanship of John Garra- han. 500 couples attended the affair at the Hotel Statler. The Sophomore Class also ran a most successful informal dance, which preceded the Prom, for the purpose of de- fraying expenses thereof. Junior Class officers were elected in November, 1948. After spirited campaigning, results showed : Harry Ernst, President; Ernest Stautner, Vice-President; George O ' Brien, Secretary; Fred Donovan, Treasurer; Frank i IcLaughlin, A.A. Representative. The Student Council Representative was Robert J. Crowley, ' 50. The Fulton, under President Larry Spellman, ' 50, listed 30 intercollegiate debates this year. Harvard, M.I.T., B.U., SuiiEolk, and Providence College returned several times for re-matches. Federal Aid to Education, Civil Rights and European Military Alliance constituted the onus of subject matter. The Dramatic Club, with man Junior constituents, presented the Tempest and The King ' s Servant this year. Tom Knowlton, ' 50 was President of the Society. JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS— A. S. Seated: E. Stautner, H. Ernst. Standing: G. O ' Brien, F. Dono- van. The Musical Clubs, under the direction of Mr. Walter Mayo, successfully completed their third post-war season. The concert with New Rochelle highlighted their pro- gram of ten appearances. Juniors Bob Dinneen, Jim McA ' Nulty and Charlie Cullen headed up the Heights ' staff this year. Charlie Cullen was selected to conduct the Round Table Dis- cussion at the Fourth Annual Intercollegiate Press Con- ference held at Mount Holyoke. The ' 48 Gridiron saw the Eagles win over Holy Cross for the first time in six seasons. This completed another good schedule in which Co-capt. elect Art Spinney, O ' Melia trophy winner Ernie Stautner, Ed Clasby, Butch Songin, Bob Palladino, Joe Diminick, Mike Poissant and Art Donovan numbered among the standouts for the Juniors. Hockey furnished the B.C. ' ers with a ticket to Colo- rado for the second consecutive year. Finishing up with a notable (15-1) record, the boys were assured of the trip. Juniors Mclntire, Songin, Lewis and Fitzgerald starred in the contests. The Hoopsters, with Junior stars O ' Brien, Fitzgerald, Stagoff and Bricker, emerged with a (10-8) record for the Winter season. Among others, the boys encountered B.U., Harvard, Tufts and Holy Cross. To start the post-Christmas week in proper fashion, the Juniors sponsored a joint B.C. -Holy Cross Dance. The big event of the year was the Junior Prom. On February 25th, 600 couples crowded into the Imperial Ballroom of the Statler. Freddie Guerra supplied the music while we provided the dancing and fun. Junior Week arrived on May 1st, culminating a very eventful year. It accomplished its purpose in bringing the Class together in a week of varied activities including a Communion Breakfast, Dramatic, Musical, and Variety Sho vs, Sports Day and Smoker. Now, as we stand on the threshold of our Senior year, we bid our predecessors, the Class of 1949, Godspeed in their forthcoming endeavors. We will strive ever to emu- late them in our Tradition. If this be accomplished, its a job well done. SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS— A. a: S. Seated: R. Cronin, W. Dooley, J. Hanlon. Stamlitig: J. Waters, H. Hannebery. SEASONED BY THE FIRST YEAR The Sophomore class registered at the Heights on September 3, 4, 5, of 1947. Shortly after this, the novices were given an orientation by the Deans and Department Heads of the School who stressed the high principles and the lofty traditions of Boston College. This orientation did serve to show the new members just what the college expected of them ; however, it was not until after the annual retreat in October, that man) ' members of the class were aware of the spirit of the college. It was then that they began to sense that they belonged, that they were a living part of the great student body, that they were B.C. men. Soon after the retreat on October 30, 1947, Archbishop Richard J. Cushing laid the corner stone of the College of Business Administration. Immediately after this cere- mony the members of the class of ' 51 canvassed their neighborhoods selling bricks for the new building. On the morning of November 26, 1947 a convocation of the Deans, Faculty, and Student Body was held in honor of Bishop Wright, an alumnus of Boston College. Late in the afternoon, on this same day, the class of ' 51 elected the following officers: President, Francis X. Murphy; Vice-President, John P. Connelly; Secretary, John Harrington; Treasurer, William F. McDonald; A. A. Representative, William J. Dooley. The winter months lasted longer than usual this year and the snow was e.xtremely deep. So severe was the winter, that spring was like a rebirth of the land, it seemed that everything began to bud at once and the campus was a beautiful garden when classes ended on June 4, 1948. After a pleasant summer the members of the class of ' 51 returned to B.C. from the four points of the compass. They returned to find a student government functioning through the Student Council. Herbert J. Hannabury and James Waters served the class as Repre- sentatives. The students soon had all the numerous extra-cur- ricular activities running at top speed. After the students had sufficient time to readjust themself to campus life, the Sophomore election was held. The class elected the following officers: President, William J. Dooley; Vice- President, James Hanlon; Secretary, Jerome J. Cronin; Treasurer, Robert J. Kaler; A.A. Representative, Giles Threadgold. Soon after this election, the newly elected officers of the Sophomore class held an informal dance which would raise money to defray the expense of a formal dance. September of 1947 came, and with it, three hundred new recruits for the College of Business Administration. Combined with one hundred and seventy-five second semester Freshmen, this made our class total four hundred and seventy-five students. For the first time in several years veterans ' enioUment, constituting 40 per cent of the class, was out-numbered by non-veterans. Our class was the first to have its officers elected by separate vote from the College of Arts and Sciences. The successful candidates were: John E. iVIcCloskey, Presi- dent; Edward C. Monahan, Vice President; John A. Prendergast, Secretary; Richard A. Hearn, Treasurer; and James Callahan, Jr., A. A. Representative. John Clancy and Donald Wenger were elected to represent the class in the Student Council. Section Representatives were also elected for the class. The Freshman Class Prom, held at the Beaconsfield Hotel on May 15, 1948, was a grand success primarily because of the efforts of the Prom Committee. With the advent of September, 1948, we returned to the Heights to find a modern Business school — the concrete realization of the building fund drive of last year — ready for our use. Its new Library and the Man- agement, Marketing and Accounting laboratories pro- vided us with an excellent opportunity to study all phases of business activity. Other advantages include a well- stocked bookstore and ample locker space. Our class has shown much enthusiasm in the various college organizations. Some of our outstanding repre- sentatives are: Roy Delaney and Joe Gould in Football; Frank Gaffney in Basketball; William Walsh in Hockey; Charles Ennis, Assistant Manager of the Football squad ; Thomas Livingston, Assistant Manager of the Hockey team ; and Donald Hebert and Robert Burke, members of the Band. On the Heights staff, we have Ernie Provencher, Sports Editor; Lee Sullivan, Cartoonist; and Mike Taricano, Business staff. In November, class elections were held. Those elected were: John Casey, President; John O ' Mahoney, Vice President ; John E. McCloskey, Secretary ; Edward Monahan, Treasurer; and James Callahan, Jr., A. A. Representative. On January 21 we sponsored an informal dance at the Sheraton Hotel which provided a very pleasant respite from exams. In addition to being a very enjoyable evening for all, the record attendance provided the class treasury with a substantial increase. During the Spring, the most memorable social event of the year, our Sopho- more Prom, attracted a large portion of the class. The approach of exams put an end to our social ventures. To close our history, we extend congratulations to the class of ' 49 upon the successful completion of their studies. READY FOR THE NEXT THREE SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS— C. B. A. Seated: J. Casey.

THEY SHOW PROMISE In the Autumn of 1948, four hundred and five Fresh- men in the College of Business Administration attended the Orientation Day exercises. The majority of the stu- dents in the class were recent high school and preparatory school graduates with the number of veterans enrolled being about ten per cent of the total. Greater Boston has supplied the bulk of this Freshman group, though a small number are from out of state. The student in the class who traveled the greatest distance to matriculate at the Heights came from the British West Indies. The av£rage age of the students is eighteen ; a considerable decrease compared to the ages of students of the past three years. As the result of the successful drive carried on by the students and alumni last year, our classes opened in the new C.B.A. building. In addition to being air-conditioned and sound-proof, this building has a modernistic record- ing studio and is equipped with one of the finest machine shops in the country. Its library furnishes reference books on every phase of business. In November, the Freshman class was given a dinner reception by the President and Faculty of Boston College at the Copley Plaza. This was the first banquet to be held by any Freshman class since the beginning of the war. Shortly afterwards, the Very Reverend James J. Kelley, S.J., Dean of the Business School, was appointed Rector of the Church of the Immaculate Conception and Presi- dent of Boston College High School. Fr. Kelley was instrumental in developing the Business School and it was through his efforts that we have a new building today. The Reverend Patrick A. Collins, S.J., former Assist- ant Dean of the Business School, succeeded Father Kelley until January, 1949, when the Reverend James D. Sullivan, S.J., was appointed Dean of the College of Business Administration. Our class elections took place in December. The fol- lowing men were elected to office : Francis Cassidy, Pres- ident ; John Monahan, Vice-President ; Edward Englert, Secretary ; Anthony Loscocco, Treasurer ; and Thomas Megan, A. A. Representative. Two representatives to the Student Council were also elected. The Freshman Council under the direction of Rev. Paul S. McNulty, S.J., was very effective. The informal Valentine Dance at the Auditorium proved to be a great success. Two weeks after this, we held our Freshman Prom at the Copley Plaza. Brad Kent provided the music for the three hundred couples that attended. With such successes behind us, our class looks forward to the future. FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS— C. B. A. Seated: F. Cassidy.

Nearl ' twelve hundred in numher, these young men began their collegiate careers in September, 1948. Though most of the students came from Greater Boston, there were seventy-four out-of-state students in the class. Two for- eign students hailed from such widely-separated points as Jamaica and Hawaii. The number of veterans enrolled in the class was small compared to recent groups, with the average age being about eighteen. Last autumn, the class held its election of class officers. The successful candidates in the College of Arts and Science were: President, George T. Burke; Vice-Presi- dent, James H. Ryan; Secretary, Paul F. Kendrick; Treasurer, John H. O ' Neil. Also, representatives were elected to the Student Council. The were: Joseph F. O ' Shaughnessy ; Thomas F. Murphy; and Henry M. Tyszkowski. Under the direction of Rev. Paul S. McNulty, S.J., our Freshman Council, composed of class ofScers and sec- tion representatives, provided a well-rounded social pro- gram for us. Dances at the College and the Prom at the Copley Plaza were splendidly supported by the class. The Freshman Banquet held at the Copley Plaza in Novem- ber brough together the entire class and faculty. The President, Verv Rev. William L. Kelleher addressed the group at this post-war renewal of Boston College gener- osity. Through the initiative of the Council, money was raised for the purchase of CARE packages and the Student Relief Campaign sponsored by the N.F.C.C.S. With great spirit, the members of the class have taken advantage of every opportunity to engage in the various extra-curricular activities. Varsity Coach Denny Myers is eagerly awaiting the ar.ival of the outstanding football team whicii was coached by Red Mangene. The Freshman team had a good season ' and our men should help Coach Myers. Led by their new coach. Jack Harvey, the Hockey team was manned by former high school stars. These men will provide Coach John Kelly with the reserves he needs to retain the hockey prestige of Boston College. Under the leadership of Mr. Malcolm McLoud, the Intramural sports program has flourished at the Heights. In all the activities of this program, tiie Freshman class has done its part well. The greatest future in the sports world at Boston Col- lege appears to be concentrated in the Freshman basket- ball team. Coached by Al General McClellan, this team, composed mostly of Boston and New York high school stars, should bring Boston College to the top of the basketball world. FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS— A. a; S.

For the first time in its eighty-year history the Society ' s long list of annual productions was broken and it was not until the production of Shakespeare ' s Othello in 1946, that Boston saw B.C. actors on stage once again. Tha t first post-war season, dedicated to Leo Barrett Murphy, Ralph Parrow and Edwin Birtwell, three Society members killed in action, was in many ways one of the most memorable ever held. Starting from almost nothing, with members either completely inexperienced or long out of practice, the Society put on Othello by December, a performance earning praise from critics and public alike. The cast, headed by Edward Jennings as Othello and Charles Rogers as lago, included Mary Ashworth as Emilia, Frances Buckley as Desdemona, and Richard Favreau, Sean Madigan, Elliot Silverstein, and Thomas Knowlton. Francis Sidlauskas was the Producer, Orviile Purd ' , the set designer and John Loscocco, the Business Manager. In keeping with tradition, which demands a Shake- spearean play, a modern play, and a Greek play each year, the second play was The Works , a problem plav found among the papers of the late Leo Barrett Murphy. The starring role was taken by John Stokes and supporting roles were filled by Edward Jennings, Alice Dunbar, Sean Madigan, Richard Favreau, Edward Byrne, Wil- liam O ' Halloran, and Donald Cerulli. In May the Dramatic Society presented Euripides ' Alcestis at the Hatch Shell. The play was presented in the original Greek and music for the production was especially composed by John L. Bonn, S.J. John Garrahan portrayed Admetus, Thomas Knowlton did Heracles, while John McGonagle, Robert Tracy and Ronald Wey- and were conspicuous supporters. Alcestis was ap- plauded by critical and classical circles alike; Beacon Hill society helped to fill the Esplande and among those who lent their support to the venture was the Most Reverend Athenagoras, now Patriarch of Constantinople. The Dramatic Society opened its eighty-second season with Odets ' prizefight drama, Golden Boy , with Don- ald Cerulli as the tragic fighter-hero. This play was one The design of the honor-charm of the Boston College Dramatic Society has changed during the years, but the basic idea, the two masks denot- ing Comedy and Tragedy endure and this year, particularly, remind reci- pients, all of whom are veterans, that purified by tragedy they have been able to return into the laughter of peace. of the most popular modern pieces ever to be shown and the cast lived up to expectations magnificently. Among those who appeared in Golden Boy were John Stokes, Elliot Silverstein, William Sipsey, and Richard Favreau. In February, the Society produced Romeo and Juliet with Sean Madigan and Alyce Cronin. The cast in- cluded Richard Favreau, John Tevnan, Elliot Silver- stein, Nicholas Rodriques, Leo Hines, Thomas Roark, and John Garrahan, while the fiery performance of Thomas Knowlton as Mercutio was especially noteworthy. The production of Romeo and Juliet was accompanied by an innovation : the establishment of a new fourth department in the Dramatic Society, the Department of Design, headed by Gerald Sullivan as Chairman and Mary Scoledge as Wardrobe Mistress. All costumes used in B.C. Pla ' s are now designed and executed entirely by the Design staff. Another innovation was the establishment of a B.C. road company which toured the Hudson River Valley with Henri Gheon ' s The Wisdoms of Wang . The aboriginal inhabitants of the West saw Thomas Knowl- ton, Old Wang, Orviile Purdy as the Devil, Nicholas Rodriques, Tang, and Richard Favreau, the Priest. The First Ron: O. Purdy, T. Knowlton.

The show was also put on at the Heights and has been shown in various veteran hos- pitals around Boston. 1947-48 also saw the Society host to the Catholic Theatre Conference, which was attended by delegations from all neighboring Catholic Colleges and featured a Play Festival. The Boston College offering was the presentation of Beasts and Growing Things from Jo ful Mystery by John L. Bonn, S.J. James Costello was heard as the Poet, Thomas Knowlton sang the _ part of St. Thomas Aquinas, and Nicholas Rodriques the part of St. Francis of Assist. At the beginning of the 1948-1949 season, Thomas Knowlton was elected President, Orville Purdy, Vice- President, Robert Tracy, Secretary-Treasurer, and Elliott Silverstein, Chairman of the House Committee. Purdy retained his post of Producer, and the office of Business Manager went to Richard Leonard, with Jasper Grassa as Assistant Business Manager. Gerald Sullivan con- tinued as Chairman of the Department of Design and the new department of Public Relations was created with Robert Tracy as Chairman. The first play of the season was one that has already taken its place as one of the Society ' s all time greats, Shakespeare ' s The Tempest . The critics were unani- mous in their praise of Richard Favreau, who starred as Prospero and of William Leydon as Ariel, Nicholas Rodriques as Caliban, Elliot Silverstein as Ferdinand and Alyce Cronin as Miranda. Thomas Knowlton was singled out for special praise by critic Elliot Norton of the Boston Post for the verve and fire of his work as the villanous Antonio, as was Ronald Weyand for his render- ing of the role of Stephano, the comic bi.irler, Orville Purdy ' s sets also received high praise. A feature of The Tempest was the introduction of a ballet in place of the disputed Shakespearean masque, so often used in the vision scenes by earlier producers. This ballet was designed and led by Mile. Fifi Jenks and a group from the Nursing School were the ballerinas. The haunting score, expressing the cloud-capped char- acter of the magician ' s mystic island, was the work of Frederick Diemer. The second presentation of the season was the Boston premiere of The King ' s Servant by Felix Doherty, the present Director of Publicity at the Heights. It told the story of Sir Thomas More, Henry VHFs wise and witty Lord Chancellor, the last of the true merrie Eng- lishmen , the man whose obedience to his conscience held firm against friendship, disgrace, and, finally, death. It was set against the intense color and pageantry of Rennaissance England and the brilliance and dignity of the settings (The State Chamber at Westminster Palace, the Tower of London, York Palace) were equaled only by the gorgeous costumes of the cast. John Tevnan gave a distinguished performance as More and further honors went to Thomas Knowlton for his characterization of Henry. Anne Boleyn was played by Tehrie Holden and Sir Thomas ' wife and daughter were plaj ' ed by Mary Shreenan and Dorothy Sipse ' . Among others in support- ing roles were Philip Krim, Donald Cerulli, Joseph Ken- ney, Richard Favreau, and Jeremiah Kiely. The last of 1948-1949 was an authentic and exquisite drama of ancient Greece, Sophocles ' stark and tremendous Oedipus Tyrannus , with Ronald Weyand in the title role. The play was presented in English, in a new transla- tion prepared for the occasion by John L. Bonn, S.J. The large cast included John McGonagle, John Garrahan, Vincent Stanton, Norman Swerling and John Queenan.  ' ims GLEE CLUB First Row: W. Linehan, H. Keane, R. Colligan, L. Boyle, R. Bertrand, C.

MUSICAL The first formal concert of the Glee Club for the 1947- 48 season was given in October in celebration of the centennial of Old St. Mary ' s Church before an enthusi- astic crowd of eight-thousand at the Boston Garden. In December, Boston College joined with Emmanuel College to present an excellent program of music for the benefit of the National Federation of Catholic College Students. The concert was high-lighted with solos by James Costello, 1948 and Vincent Nuccio, 1949. Local Glee Club and Orchestra Concerts were given at Beverly and Lynn. The Octet appeared at Watertown ; on Passion Sunday the annual Concert at Weston College was presented. The most successful concert was held Saturday evening, April tenth, at Veritas Auditorium, Our Lady of The Elms College, Chicopee, Massachuestts. The glee clubs of both schools, with vocal and instru- mental soloists, and our own concert orchestra appeared before a capacity audience of eleven-hundred music lovers, giving Chicopee its major musical event of the year. Dancing followed the concert, and we were well received in the homes of the students and friends of this college. Home again, the Octet busied itself at an address given by Louis Budenz, and at the N.F.C.C.S. Congress, held at the Copley Plaza. On April sixteenth, the Glee Club journeyed to Hart- ford, Connecticut and St. Joseph College to present a combined concert before another standing room only audience. The concert was a tremendous success both musically and socially as the dance and post-concert parties well testified. On Sunday, April twenty-fifth, the Glee Club and Orchestra presented a musicale at Boston Sym- phony Hall. The performance was hailed as the best the Musical Clubs had ever given. Friday evening, April thirtieth, the Glee Club appeared in New Haven, Con- necticut, in conjunction with Albertus Magnus College. The year ' s final concert was presented at the Heights. The annual get-together was held at Riverside and a banquet followed at the Normandie Room. The coveted music charms were awarded Jim Costello, 1948; John ' Flynn, 1948; Warren Watson, 1948; and our newly elected President Joe Wilber, 1949, Joe, who had ac- companied the Glee Club all year, was forced to resign his presidency after being accepted for medical school, adding BAND First Ron: J.

The Orchestra and Glee Club were on the road early this season when they appeared at Salem in January and Portland and Bangor, Maine in February. On Passion Sunday, the Clubs were at Weston and on Palm Sunday they joined their talents with those of Emmanuel College at Jordan Hall in Boston. A repeat performance with Our Lady of The Elms College was held in April and on May first a combined concert with New Rochelle College was given at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. Concerts were also given at Hartford, Connecticut, Beverly, and Brockton as well as the finale at the Heights. Several bows and much applause as well as a big thank you were extended to our faithful managers and librarians. Jack Murray, John Cahill, Bob Kelleher, and Jim Whelton. The excellent care and supervision of music and instruments can be credited to this ambitious quartette. Second Ron : W. Cross, R. Tracy, T. Walsh, R. Murphy. First Roif: J. Brennan, T. O ' Connor. STYLUS The STYLUS emerged during 1949 as a strikingly mature publication, reflecting the ideas of a student body caught in the nervous epoch of a fast, frenetic century. The post-war boom had subsided, but the air was still pregnant with bemused wonderings about the future. All these dreams, sentiments and anxieties found their way into the STYLUS in the form of fiction, poetry and satire. Spearheading the over-all task of producing the year ' s five issues of the student literary magazine were Editor Jim O ' Brien, whose widely-read and controversial articles are notable and Managing Editor Tom O ' Connor, from whose brushes and pencils came the year ' s most profes- sional cartoons. Illustrations and vignettes by Tcm Walsh and Ron Weyand were of superior quality and enhanced several editions. Assistant Editor, John Brennan, the author of Bostonese , became Managing Editor ujion the graduation of Tom O ' Connor. The world of Music was scrutinized by STYLUS critic, Bill Coss and Bob Tracy and Bernard Driscoll created much of the gear ' s poetry. The regular contributors to the 1948-1949 issues including John Ryan, Jim Langton, Tom Curley, Fred Van Veen, Walt Carty and Nicholas Varga, the business staff and the editors convened three times during the year for a banquet to celebrate STYLUS progress and to plan for new literarv attainments. first Row: M.

THE HEIGHTS The Boston College HEIGHTS has always been s ' nonomous with high standards in college journalism. In keeping with this tradition, the Editorial Board of 1948 set a new five point policy and designed a new format for the paper. All of these lofty aims were realized by the cooperation and toil of the entire stajif thereby enabling the paper to increase its content. News Editor Bob Din- neen succeeded to the Editor ' s chair in January 1949 and his policy stressed greater unity between the students of B.C. ' s many schools and emphasized a renewed interest in the affairs of the Student Council. Ably assisting Din- neen were Managing Editor Arthur Lewis and Special Editor Dan Callanan whose responsibility it was to layout the paper. News Editor Jim McA ' Nulty whose stories on the new aqueduct running under the college and articles on the United Nations won wide acclaim, was aided in his work by Feature Editors Paul Mitchell and Bob Murphy. Among the most popular attractions of the paper were Sports Editor, Ernie Provencher ' s predictions and the incomparable cartoons of Art Editor, Tom O ' Connor. Always alert to the needs of the future, a new constitution was drafted by the staff in the Spring of 1949 so that an expanding, progressive college newspaper might attain new horizons. A.

Not only did the size of the society grow with ne ' w undergraduate members, but its fame also due to their capable debating. The intercollegiate topic of 1948-1949 was a highly pertinent and elastic one for debate: Resolved, that the Federal Government should adopt a policy of equalizing educational opportunity in tax supported schools by means of annual grants. Fultonians digested the contents b ' research into the question and debated it both aggressiveh ' and defensively with a knowledge and enthusiasm ap- parent to every audience from Boston to Chicago. In frequent house debates the entire body of the society be- came familiar with the arguments pro and con on this topic and thus established a ready supply of Fulton teams for debate on this intercollegiate question. Another highly controversial and interesting topic for in- tercollegiate debating was that of Civil Rights: Resoh ' ed that a comprehensive program of Civil Rights be enacted. Other thought-provoking topics for inter-society debate were: Resolved that religion should be taught in public schools as an intergral part of the curriculum, and Re- solved that the closed shop should be abolished, and also the question of a Federal World Government. The fall term of the Fulton opened with a strange twist in regard to the club officers. The president, Jerome Leonard, elected at the close of the class year in the spring of 1948, accelerated his course graduating in the summer session at the Heights, and thus moved Vice- President John Kielty up into the Presidency of the society. Since the office of Vice-President was vacant, Secretary Gus Gilmour became Vice-President, and this necessitated the election for the vacant seat of the Secretary. This latter po; t was soon filled when the society elected Arthur G. Ashcok. Losing no time the Fulton went into action through two of its orators, John T. Moore and William J. -Murphy, who succeeded in decisively defeating an affirma- tive team from Boston University on the question of Federal World Government. In December, shortly before Christmas holidays, Providence College came to visit in debate on the intercollegiate topic, and before a dis- tinguished audience at Stoughton succeeded in their iorcnsic efforts, attaining victory by a small margin ; but Robert Dray and John Kielty debated quite brilliantly and stoutly upheld glorious Fulton tradition. This year concluded the 82nd successful season of Ful- ton debating which the society fondly dedicated to the memory of its deceased member George S. Zion. AQUINAS CIRCLE The pursuit of wisdom has tor its p irpose the truth of Things — St. Thomas. St. Thomas of vVquin was, without question, the most commanding figure in the history of medieval philosophy. Accordingly, the members of the Aquinas Circle wisely devoted their efforts, during the academic year, to the extensive synthesis of philosophical thought, as wrought by the inspired mind of the Angelic Doctor. Then, having carefully studied the various Scholastic systems which arose subsequent to the monumental treatises of St. Thomas, the eager and confident young students of phi- losophy in the Circle felt themselves prepared to examine the modern philosophies and to criticize those systems intelligently. Larry Azar expounded in detail the teachings of St. Albert the Great. During the succeeding meetings, John Gearin, Paul Barry, and Chris Garrahan manifested a deep understanding of the Thomistic doctrines in their presentation of the Aquinas contribution to the realm of wisdom. The subtle, analytic mind of the renowned Franciscan, John Duns Scotus, received an adaquate treatment from Joseph Dee. The President of the Aquinas Circle, Ray Sullivan, continued with the learned and enlightening exposition of Post-Thomistic philosophy, and Art DeSousa, the Circle ' s Secretary, followed with a lucid explanation on the theses of William of Ockam. The ideas of the period, antedating the advent of the famed modern philosophizers, were submitted to the members for their consideration and discussion by John Walsh. The Juni(n ' members of the Aquinas Circle brought the year ' s endeavors to completion by delving into the heterodox works of Descartes, Kant, Mill and Dewey, and offering their findings to the entire body. The refuta- tion of these philosophers was forthcoming from the in- dividual members and formulated according to the peren- nially true principles of the Schoolmen. This academy in the science of Philosoph ' added materially to the participants ' store of ultimate and uni- ersal truth. They secured for themselves a more com- prehensive grasp of the meaning of life than could be obtained in the formal atmosphere of the lecture. Their intellectual horizon was notably extended. The Aquinas Circle furnished these student philosophers wn ' th the op- portunity of presenting the products of their mature reflec- tion to the discerning, but unprejudiced minds of their associates. Each one, in turn, met his challenge with courage and succeeded in acquitting himself with honor. First Roii: A. DeSousa, J. Gearin. Second Rotv: P. Barry, J. Dee, R. Sullivan, C. Garrahan, P.

PRE-MEDICAL SEMINAR Although the Catholic accepts and utilizes the wonder- ful scientific advances and discoveries, especially in the science of medicine, still he must insist on more than a purely scientific view of such achievements. It has been the aim of the Pre-Medical Seminar to ground our stu- dents in the true relationship existing between faith and science. The members of the class of 1949, who have been privileged to sit as members of this Seminar will lon remember the profitable and interesting hours which brought to us the many and varieJ problems that con- front those who hope to dedicate their lives to their fello- men in the practice of medicine. The most important functions on our calendar were undoubtedly the evening meetings held once a month, in which we were privileged to hear such notable guest lecturers as Rev. J. Franklin Ewing, S.J., Rev. John C. Ford, S.J., and our own Fr. Walsh in a Symposium on Evolution ; Dr. William C Maloney on the Rh Factor ; Dr. Rosenheim, the renowned con ert and psychiatrist; and Doctors Frederick Goode and Joseph Doyle. Motion pictures were periodically presented on such topics as The Physiology of Menstruation , Bac- terial Sterilization , Malarial Diseases , and Surgical Operations . Weekly meetings normally were featured by a lecture from one among our own ranks on some subject previously selected by the votes of the members. Plans for the future include joint sessions with Seminars of other colleges, visits to medical and research centers, an annual banquet, and the eventual development of the Seminar into an Honor Fraternity. Dr. Mahoney, M.D., explains to the futur theory of the Rh factor in the human blood. Doctors the 324 First Row: H. Hannabury, R. Kelleher, E. Galotti, M. Hirrel, J. Waters. R. Murphy. Second Row: R.

STUDENT COUNCIL Instituted in 1947, the Student Council has as its basic purpose the realization of student government. Under the leadership of its president, Ed Galotti, assisted by Mike Hirrel, Vice-President, Paul Mitchell, Bob Murphy and Jim McA ' Nulty, the Council sponsored progressive measures during 1949. Its greatest achievements vv ' ere the revision of the Student Handbook, the work of a com- mittee comprising both Faculty and Council members; the attainment of escort tickets for football games; and orderly class elections, conducted under the authority of an Election Commission. Yet, the Council has been hampered by lack of quorum, indicative of student apathy. It is hoped, that in future years, better student interest will permit the Council to achieve its ultimate goal of student government. STUDENT A. A. Under the able leadership of Dick Riley, Senior A. A. Representative, the hardworking crew of Larry Vienneau, Jack Gleason, and Don Kelly devoted their energies to running the football dances, furnishing uniforms for the cheerleaders, and offering full cooperation with other activities on the campus. Covering B.C. with placards and awarding various door prizes, their self-sacrificing work was well rewarded. The Continental, The University Club, The Copley Plaza and the new Gym, all in Boston, and The Mayllower in Washington, D. C, reverberated with the echoes of For Boston ; triumphal achievements of the A. A. Representatives. Because of their loyalty, spirit, and si ncere devotion to B.C., the A. A.

Its aim is to provide a medium for the exchange and discussion of ideas among undergradu- ates interested in the field of international relations. On campus, the W.R.L. conducts weekly meetings consisting of a short talk and discussion conducted by one of the members. A new feature this year was the showing of films dealing with topics of an international nature. Off campus, the W.R.L. is an active participant in the New England Catholic College Student Peace Federation and International Relations Clubs of New England. This year the League also helped to initiate joint suppers with other Boston student international relations clubs. The Marquette, the junior debating society of the College, is open to Freshmen and Sophomores only. Yet, the debates on the national topic, ' Tederal Aid to Edu- cation and on other issues of the day indicated a mastery of forensic technique. Also discussed during the year were three proposed Constitutional Amendments and Universal Military Training During the Easter vacation the Society sent a team of four debaters on a successful tour of Eastern colleges. Debates with other colleges in the Boston area were also conducted throughout the course of the year. The training offered in the Marquette is designed to promote both logical precision and rhetorical eloquence. The weekly meetings afford all members ample oppor- tunity for the acquisition of these skills. M A R Q_U E T T E DEBATING SOCIETY First Row: A. Parreault, J. Suagzdys, W. McDonough, J. Cronin, W.

Bow- The Ricci Mathematics Academy tried to live up to its traditional purposes to give a cultural background in Mathematics that those interested might better ap- preciate the significance of recent development in Mathe- matics, and to give students a chance to present their problems before fellow mathematicians. Carrying out the Academy ' s tradition this year ' s club had several excellent and informative guest speakers at their bimonthly meetings. The Philosophy of Mathematics was the subject of Dr. Fakhri Maluf. Rev. John Tobin, S.J. spoke on Mathematics as the Language of Science. Dr. Frederick White spoke on Curves and Determi- nates . Socially, the Academy held a successful dance in January at the Hotel Commander. The annual spring outing was a fitting climax to this season ' s activities. The Economics Academy is open to Juniors and Seniors majoring in Economics to give them the all-important opportunity of getting closer to current problems by heart- to-heart informal discussions. The man who led the academy was its president, Gerry Hagerty. Working closely with him were Ed Kiley, Vice- President, and Bill Burckhart, Secretary. Excellent speakers, hailing from the ranks of the out- standing business and labor leaders of Boston and its vicinity, were invited to present their views to the academy. Keeping in pace with the new field of visual- education, movies about economic problems were presented and discussed at some of the meetings. Occasional group tours by members to economic exhibitions in Boston, high- lighted the off-campus activities. RICCI MATHEMATICS ACADEMY First Rory: J. Monahan, Mr. J. Krebbs, A. Minichelli, P.

Formed to develop Catholic lay leadership and unite the student bodies of the Catholic Colleges, the National Federation of Catholic College Students is an organiza- tion of one-houndred-eighty-thousand strong. At B.C., it sponsored The Student Relief Campaign. With Gus Gilmour as Chairman, Joe Maltais, John Dougherty, Bob Sheehan, and Bob Waters assisting, the campaign raised over six-thousand dollars for the relief of students overseas. The Radio Acceptance Poll and the Decent Literature Campaign were conducted on campus. The Liturgy Com- mission worked on the campus with a small group inter- ested in the rites and ceremonials of the Church. In addition, the Federation aided the Student Govern- ment and stimulated greater social activity between the neighboring colleges by means of Acquaintance Dances. Last October the Boston College Student Council rati- fied the National and Regional Constitutions of the National Student Association. Since that time, the Boston College delegates have played an important role in the N.S.A., forming and carrying out projects to benefit the students. The N.S.A. is a nationwide association of colleges with permanent headquarters in Madison, Wisconsin. Its aims are to advance the interests of students, to provide a medium for their expression, and to furnish a means whereby they can act together to carry out programs which will best serve their mutual needs. Perhaps the best example of N.S.A. activities as seen at the Heights is the Purchase Card Plan, which will insure reduced prices to students when they patronize affiliated retail establish- ments. Officially the N.S.A. is not even two years old, but it is certainly growing — and fast! NATIONAL STUDENT ASSOCIATION Finl Row: E. Galotti, R. Murphy. Second Row: W. Grimes, A. Sweeney, J. Waters, J.

Vanderslice, L. Landers, L. Visco, This organization is affiliated with the American In- stitute of Physics, a national scientific body whose purpose is the diffusion of knowledge of physics. At the early meetings, Joseph Frates was elected President and Frank Dolan Secretary-Treasurer of the Chapter. It was decided that an Executive Committee of one member from each class would insure adequate representation in plann ing the Chapter ' s activities. Richard Devlin and James Morris were the Seniors appointed. As well as pursuing the objective of the parent body, the Boston College Chapter of A. I. P. affords the students an opportunity to prepare and present technical material before an audience. It is apparent that the Boston College Chapter has fostered a religious and scientific- spirit through its fine program of guest speakers. In order to promote student interest, and also to afford each member an opportunity for active participa- tion, the Boston College Chapter of the American Chemical Society this year inaugurated a program of stu- dent research in various fields of chemistry. The research was done by groups of students interested in any specific topic, and the results were presented by each group to the Club in a series of lectures. The Chapter also was addressed several times during the course of the year by experts in fields such as Organic Chemistry and Physical Chemistry. Another addition to the Club ' s activities was the initiation of a series of joint meetings with the other student chemistry clubs of New England, attended by the officers.

The Boston College Business Club was first formed in the spring of 1946 to develop a better understanding of the practical application of modern business techniques, to keep the student informed of the current developments in the business world, and to bring about a closer rela- tionship between the student and business. This 3 ' ear the Club had two hundred members, all upper-classmen inter- ested in business topics. Steps were taken to adopt a formal charter and form closer ties with club members who have been graduated. To further the interests of its members the Business Club maintains affiliations with the American Marketing Association, the New England Export Club, the Purchas- ing Club of New England and The Sales Management Club of Boston. Although the Business Management Club was first formed in 1943, it was forced during the war to dis- continue its activities. However, the influx of veterans to the Heights, the club was reinstituted and grew into the Student Chapter of the Society for the Advancement of Management. On April 5, 1949, at the first annual banquet of the Student Chapter, the charter was presented to the twenty- eight members by the Boston Chapter President and the National Director. This meeting climaxed the scholastic year during which men from all divisions of industry had addressed the bimonthly meetings. Through these talks and participation in panel discussions, the students have learned the practical problems of production and industrial relations as thcv ha c been encountered and overcome.

It was through the initiative and activitj of a group of seniors who have chosen Marketing as their special field of concentration that the Marketing Club was first organized and instituted in January, 1949. The chief purpose of the Club, as it has been defined, is to give the members an opportunity to become ac- quainted with some of the many practices and problems which they ■will certainly encounter upon beginning work in the field. At the present time plans are being imdertaken in the hope that the Club may eventually become affiliated with the American Marketing Association. Further steps are also being considered whereby a strong social bond may be created among the members which will continue after graduation. The purpose of the Boston College Foreign Trade Club is to give B.C. men a background of practical value in the business of exporting and importing. Knowledge of practical problems is of inestimable value in supplementing the fundamental theoretical training offered in the regular college course. In its first year of operation, the Foreign Trade Club has instituted an interesting program. Meet- ings have been held every Tuesday. The first one of each month consisted of a general business meeting, the second being dedicated to a lecture on an international trade sub- ject, the third to a discussion of the subject of the week before, and the fourth consisting of a showing of films covering foreign travels or other pertinent social activities.

At the weekly meetings of the club, various members of the organization speak on a particular aspect of photography or a club officer leads a general discussion on some phase of it — calling upon the group for questions from the floor. One senior who has contributed greatly to the success of the organization this year is Everett J. Ford, Jr., Publication Officer. Cooper- ating with Everett, was Club Secretary, Francis J. Lynch, a former U.S. Navy photographer. Coordinating all the functions of the club this year, has been President Henry R. Santosuosso who has sought to have the quality of the work as professional as possible. This j ' ear for the first time in the history of the college, a chess team carried the school colors into organized competition. A B.C. team entered and captured the metropolitan C League title, completing its schedule undefeated. This team was then moved up into the Metro- politan B League where it more than held its own. Upon completion of the Metropolitan League Schedule, the team continued on into the Greater Boston Intercol- legiate League and turned in an impressive record against such powers as Harvard, Boston University, Tufts, and Northeastern University. Captain Phil Larco is exceptional on first board, Al Deerfield, on second board has been excellent, while Bill Guinard, John Logan, Dick White, and Bill Foley furnish the club with a wealth of material for the other places on the team.

Under the leadership of President James Harvey, the Spanish Academ} ' enjoyed outstanding success in its first post-war year. Supplementing the organization ' s tradi- tional educational and cultural activities were interesting lectures by representatives of foreign governmnts on job opportunities for American Spanish-speaking students in Latin America, and the bimonthly dinner, with a guest speaker for each occasion. A party and dance terminated the year ' s social activities with Spanish majors from both Emmanuel and Regis Colleges as invited guests. The highlight of the Academy program, however, vi ' as the B.C. and Emmanuel spring dramatic presentation, the program of which included a one-act comedy, Manana de Sol, recitation of a Spanish adaptation of a passage from Romeo and Juliet, and Spanish music. Every student entertains the desire to know and under- stand a foreign language. Extremely popular is French; and to make a knowledge and understanding of this fascinating tongue more pleasurable was the chief rea- son underlying the foundation of the French Academy. The enrollment of the academy has been among the largest of the clubs on the campus. The French Academy can well be proud of the oratorical contests which it sponsored. By participation in these contests, the student gained confidence in his mastery of the tongue and poise in public speaking. By its functions and the diligent work of its officers, the French Academy maintained its popularity among the students and accomplished its goal of making pleasurable an understanding of French language.

Conducted in connection with the Theology Department, the academy takes its name from St. Peter Canisius, Jesuit scholar and Doctor of the Church. The purpose of the Academy is to deepen the background of interested and capable students, that they may realize more clearly the necessity of channeling the modern world to Christ. During this first year, the Academy studied the true philosophy of history, being concerned principalK with the Old Testament. Topics of the future studies of the Academy include the Lay Apostolate, Saint Augustine, and the Sacred Liturgy. The formal purpose of the Classical Academy has ever been to arouse in the student body, through its quarterly bulletin, THE HUMANITIES, a keener interest in the Humanism of Greece and Rome as a basis of Christian Humanism and to supplement the Greek and Latin classes with inspirational lectures and discussions on the literature and art of Rome and Greece. This year, there were offered five different series of lectures which aimed to provide a clear picture of the varied fields affected by the classics. The series included talks on Greek and Roman pre-Christian customs and a Lenten series on Medieval Latin and Christian Hymnology. CLASSICAL ACADEMY First Row: E. Callahan. Sec- ond Row: G. Murphy, D.

As one of its feature extracurricular activities, Boston College sponsors the Radio Club and amateur radio station, WIPR for the students who are already hams and who desire practical opportunities to increase their knowledge of radio. During the past year guided courses were made available in code, elementary radio principles, basic amateur radio concepts, and advanced radio theory. The excellent radio equipment combined with the fine instruction has enabled the club to make advances for which it may well be proud. The log books and files of WIPR bear witness to this fact, for of the many contacts the Voice of B.C. has made, are those with London, Ireland, Denmark, the Mediterranan and South American Countries, and Hawaii. In October, 1948 seventy students attended the first meeting of the German Academy. The large turnout was composed of sophomores, juniors and seniors. The activities of The Academy are designed to foster interest in German culture through group singing and discussions which give the students a knowledge of the language unattainable in class. The annual banquet was held at the Hotel Sheraton, at which the Reverend Deans of the College of Arts and Sciences were honored guests. The banquet was quite successful, the highlight of the evening consisting of the singing of German folk tunes. The members of the Academy have gained a deeper understanding of the German tradition through these activities and they have enjoyed doing it. RADIO CLUB First Row: P. Leonard, W. Canty, J. Pratt.

The strength of Boston College ' s Reserve Officer Training Corps stood this fall at a thumping total of si -hundred-and-seventeen students, better than twelve per cent of the enrollment of Boston College. This unit stiength is now almost five times greater than its total strength during the year of its establishment, when, in September, 1947, Colonel James Lewis, Commanding Officer of the unit, assisted by Lieutenant Colonel George Baldry and four non-commissioned officers, instituted at Boston College the Department of Military Science and Tactics. The ultimate purpose of the Reserve Officer Training Corps is, as its name implies, the training of young men as second lieutenants in the reserve; and in the case of Boston College the students are trained and commissioned in the Field Artillery. The rifle team, which engages in competitive matches with other colleges, is but one of the many facets of the Reserve Officers Training Corps, which, due to its numbers affords its members the best possible opportunities for social contacts with their fellow students. And the R.O.T.C. is justly proud of having originated, in its annual Militarv Ball, what may well become the out- R.O.T.C. members shown at Field Manuevers during the sum- mer of 1948 are Dave Murphy.

The morale of this unit shows signs of developing that quality of esprit. Although some at first asked, What ' s the catch? , in the tvi o years that have lapsed since the founding of the unit at Boston College it has become increasingly evident that the only catch any student need fear is a catch from a country where the type of leadership taught in the Reserve Officers Training Corps is painfully lacking. And in that regard, the students of the Reserve Officers Training Covps join with their fellow students in sincerely wishing that the hypothetical enemies of their classroom tactics problems will continue to be hypothetical for a long time to come. Relations between Boston College and its Military Science Department have proved to be excellent. In a recent address, Fr. Keleher, S.J., President of the Col- lege, said, in reference to Colonel Lewis, The Army sent us their best man ; and Colonel Lewis has made no secret of the high regard in which he holds Fr. Keleher. This admirable spirit of top-level cooperation has, as might be expected, produced its effect upon the lower echelons, the students themselves. From twenty-eight year old seniors to sixteen-year old freshmen they have, whether in drill field or class room, distinguished themselves by their will- ingness and ability to learn. This learning power has been accurately reflected in the unit citations and medals which they have received from the Army and in the high marks and high praise which they have received from military and academic sources alike.

McCarthy, Paul E. Mitchell, seated, and John T. Moore, John K. Meany, standing, formulated the policies and directed the publication of 1949 SUB TURRI. Cooperation, diligence and courage are essential to the successful publication of any yearbook. A definite spirit of unity among the Editors and staff members alike culminated in the publication of a yearbook which is truly representative of our class. But, the SUB TURRI of ' 49 has done much more than publish a yearbook. It con- ducted Acquaintance Dances at B.C. ; it sponsored the first Sports Night held on the Campus in the history of this class featuring the Honorable Maurice J. Tobin, Secretary of Labor, Northeastern Head Coach Joe Zabilski ' 41, Denny Myers, B.C. ' s head coach and one of the great figures in the sports world, Mr. Swede Nel- son. Regarding this Sports Night , the Reverend Maurice V. DuUea, S,J. ' 16, Faculty Moderator of Athletics, said, This is a memorable event. The SUB TURRI is to be heartily congratulated. This affair should be conducted every year . In addition, the SUB TURRI sponsored a New England Secondary School Press Conference during the Spring of 1949. As a result of these accomplishments, small wonder that the student body was permeated by a new spirit — a SUB TURRI consciousness. The SUB TURRI staff assumed an under- taking of great magnitude. The result is in your hands today — a book of recollections which will recall bygone days and be a permanent reminder of your Boston College student life. The Features are the work of James A.

BOSTON COLLEGE 26 WAKE FOREST 9 The Eagles opened the 1948 football season with Wake Forest before 26,302 on September 24 at Braves Field. Ed Clasby, at quarterback, called the year ' s initial touchdown play early in the first period. The pass from center, through Clasby ' s legs to Songin, was passed to Albie Gould at the goal line. Ernie Stautner converted. Tom Brennan intercepted a Deacon pass at the visitors ' 15 in the second period. Songin plunged to the seven then Diminick skirted the end for the 13th point. Stautner ' s kick was wide. Two minutes later, Steve Stuka latched on to a Deacon aerial at the Wake Forest 27. Clasby lateraled out to Diminick who went the distance. Stautner ' s kick was good. In the third period, Clasby intercepted a pass at his own 30 then headed up to the 45. Diminick slid 27 yards up the middle but the Deacons held for three more downs. Clasby pitched out to Songin, who passed to Spinney for another score. Stautner ' s kick was blocked. In the closing minutes, the Deacons crowded Songin into the end zone for a safety and Tom Fetzer drifted two long passes that got the Deacons to the Boston College two yard line. From there Bill Gregus bumped for their lone touchdown. Ed Kennedy, severely injured, was lost for the season with a neck injury. Rev. Maurice V. Dullea, S.J. l-aiiilty Moderator of Athletics 342 OUR EAGLES SOARED TO VICTORY B.C. 13 GEORGETOWN 6 Boston College was a seven point favorite when they arrived in the nation ' s capitol for the annual classic with Georgetown. Coach M5 ' ers didn ' t like the thought of being favored over the rival Hoyas eleven particularly since the loss of Ed Kennedy at center the week before. The tense rivalry between the two Jesuit institutions was relieved that night as the clock ran out with George- town on the Boston College one foot line. Joe Diminick raced for the two Boston College scores while Billy Conn cut away 75 yards of turf for the Hoyas only tally. Only five minutes remained in the contest when the Georgetown eleven staged a 65 yard march to the Boston College five. There with two minutes remaining, Hank Baronowski was tabbed for a roughness penalty and the Hoyas were set back to the 24. Boston College then was caught roughing the Georgetown passer and tiic ball subsequentK ' was pushed up to the nine yard line. Fifty-three seconds left; one rush netted two yards, then Conn ambled to the one-foot mark but before another play could be called, the official gun sounded the termination of the game. All the scoring was accomplished in the first half, The Eagles started with a 71 yard push. Inside George- town territory, Clasby passed to Spinney on the Hoyas ' 29 and there the B.C. end lateraled to Diminick who scooted for the initial score. Ernie Stautner kicked the extra point. Following the Boston College tally. Conn uncorked his 75 yard sprint but the Capitol hosts ' missed the tying marker. The 7-6 score looked big to Boston College but they didn ' t settle for it. Before the half was over Dimi- nick had crashed the Georgetown line for six yards and the 13th.

' ! f! i: A tense moment in tlie Si. lionaventure game brings coaches Denny Myers and Herb Kopf to their feet. Reserve quarter- back Steve Stuka, who played a great game that afternoon stands by for instructions. he had left almost all the Bunnies behind him. Eagles center Bob Chouinard insured the run by displaying some perfect brush blocking for almost 20 yards of Diminick ' s run, against the last defenders and finally at the visitors ' 15, Diminick soared away free to score. Ernie Stautner pumped through the all important seventh point. Diminick ' s run ultimately proved a very necessary achievement for Boston College for the busy little Bennies were hastily brewing a touchdo ' wn concoction for them- selves in that second half. The Eagles punched in their touchdown on the first play of the second half. The Bonnies started a march from the B.C. 45 in that same third period. Quarterback Chris Scaturo supplied the motivating force with his accurate passes. Scaturo faded to pass at the B.C. 25 and was almost nabbed there by Chet Lipka and Art Spinney but before this pair could oust him at the sidelines, he struck with a deadly aerial to end George Hays in the end zone, while two B.C. defenders stood and gaped at the feat. Silence reigned while specialist George Ferris drove through his toed conversion. The Eagles managed to threaten several times after this hut despite some fine running by Will DeRosa and Ed Clasby as well as some perfect passes from Songin, the Bonnies were more than capable of sustaining any B.C. dividends. B.C. 7 ST. BONAVENTURE 7 A glorious early October afternoon found the Eagles of Boston College returning to the college ' s Alumni Field for a one day stand and a supposedly easy time with little St. Bonaventure of Clean, N. Y. The Boston Braves, captors of the National League pennant, were busy with their World Series battle with Cleveland so the Eagles nestled at the Heights for a game that the - were favored to win by at least two touchdowns. But Boston College coach Denny Myers said that this team could easily disrupt the Eagles season. So, the little Bonnies, booked as an early season filler, came out to Chestnut Hill under the tutelage of the talented Hugh Devore and knotted the Eagles in a great 7-7 duel be- for 16,000 amazed onlookers. A once-in-a-life-time 102 yard kickoff runback by Joe Diminick to open the second half saved the Eagles ' pres- tige. Diminick took the kickoff over his shoulder at his own three yard line while running back toward his own goal line. There he cuddled the ball, cut back at the goal line and almost stumbled at that point. His fingers were scraping the turf but he bounded erect and off he fled, the entire length of the field. The pint-sized B.C. halfback faked a reverse to Mike Poissant, then bolted to the B.C. 20 yard line, cut left to the sidelines, then weaved in and out on that avenue until One of those poor Little Bonnies hit for several yards against the Eagles here. Glenn Hagerty is the runner being corralled by Chet Lipka (71), Art Spinney, on the ground left, and Ernie Stautner (70) closing in from right. UNIVERSITY OF MISSISSIPPI 32 B.C. 13 That ' s Joe Diniiaiclc being molested by a trio of Villanovans as Art Spinney, (81) comes along with aid, after Joe had already crossed a few Wildcats ' paths. The Eagles traveled to Memphis, Tennessee, for a meeting in which they would make their initial start of the year as underdogs. The opponent was the University of Mississippi and to the strains of Dixie, played under the waving Confederate flag, Ole Miss stomped the Eagles before a shirtsleeve crowd of 20,312. Bob Hamphill of the Rebels hit for the first on a four yard pitch out which culminated a 56 yard march. Num- ber two followed a B.C. pass interception as Billy Mustin went six yards after a 45 yard advance while the third was compiled by Farley Salmon from the B.C. seven. The Eagles started a 93 yard march late in the third period and carried it into the fourth for their first score. Butch Songin tossed 25 yards to Al Cannava for the touchdown. But Ole Miss countered with another on three plays, a 50 yard pass from Salmon to Jock Stribling. B.C. fullback Bob Palladino, who netted a 12.3 yards per carry average for the day, drove 52 yards in this final period to set up the last tally. Songin hit Cannava for 31 yards, then Albie Gould in the end zone. Songin was great in the air as he completed nine out of 12 attempts. Before the game had ceased Songin had again pitched the Eagle to the Ole liss 15 and onl the stopping of the clock glued that drive. B.C. 20 VILLANOVA 13 The first period of this arc light contest at Braves Field was spent in a punting duel between Ed Songin and Villanova ' s Al Schmid. But a break was due and when it came B.C. was the recipient. Will DeRosa got it started by climbing all over a Wildcat fumble on the visitors ' 49. Diminick picked up two yards then Mike Poissant bounded to the ten behind the power blocks of Art Spinney and Tom Brennan. DeRosa bucked for six more, and after going to the one yard line, Poissant hit pay dirt on the next play. Stautner toed the extra point. Villanova struck right back in the first minute of the second period. Big Ed Ferr) ' recovered a B.C. fumble on the Eagles ' five. Everett ' s Ralph Pasquariello finally bludgeoned through the B.C. frontier for the score but the try for conversion failed. In the third period Ed Clasby tossed the pigskin to Bernie Lanoue at the Villanova 23. Clasbv took aim again but found all targets covered so he elected to run and made it clear to the Villanova six yard line. Diminick and Poissant were held on the ground so Clasby tossed to Spinney in the end zone and Stautner made it 14. Diminick was spotlighted for the first time as he stretched to take a Villanova pass on the run and raced into the end zone for the sixth time this season. The Eagles may look content and comfortable here but when they got to Memphis, Tenn., things got mighty hot and very uncomfortable. That s Bill Mulloy to the left and Norm Jabar, right.

Center, Clemson ' s Bonnie Brody is nailed by John Ring as Joe Diminick sails in for the kill. Bollom, Mike Poissant clips off a few yards for B.C. The 1948 Clemson eleven just wasn ' t due to know the meaning of defeat. After surpassing the Eagles in a heavily fought contest the Tigers went through their season unscathed. Clemson arrived at Braves field a six point favorite and B.C. lost a real thriller that night, 26-19, before 25,169 fans. At the outset of the second period. Butch Songin, in his first rule as starting quarterback, did some nice passing and finally hit end John Ring at the Clemson 11. But the Tigers halted the thrust by stealing another aerial in the end zone for a touchback. The Tigers were quick to strike back. Gage passed and Brodie ran well but Joe Diminick quelled the uprising at the B.C. 10. Then Matthews returned Ed Clasby ' s punt to the B.C. 43 and a few plays later Gage passed to Hudson for the initial t.d. After B.C. had punted in the second period Clemson moved again. Penalized to their own 25 the Tigers ad- vanced six on a run by Gage. Cone hit for a first down on the 40 and there Gage passed to Thompson on the B.C. 29. Gage was set to pass again but his intended re- ceivers were blanketed so he dashed to the Eagle 13. Then on a pitchout, Gage tossed to Poulos for the sec- ond score. Clemson led 12-0. After losing the ball on an interception at the Clem- son 20, Clasby intercepted a Gage pass at the visitors ' 42 and ran to the 39. Songin threw to Cannava at the 20 and then hit Albie Gould for the score. Stautner ' s kick struck the uprights. In the third period Clemson took over the ball on downs at midfield and on first down Gage passed to Matthews for a touchdown and Miller kicked the point after to head the Eagles 19-6. Cone scored the Tigers ' last touchdown after Gage had intercepted a B.C. pass on the Eagles ' 39 and ran to the 17. Later, with the Eagles trailing 20-6, Stautner re- covered a fumble on the Clemfon 44. Songin passed twice getting B.C. to the ten and on the third try found Cannava waiting in the end zone. Stautner missed his second attempt. Clemson tried but missed a field goal in the fourth period. So B.C. took over at their own 20 and proceeded to march 80 yards to score. After losing five yards, Songin passed to Gould at the B.C. 32 and then to Spinney at the 43. Songin then ran to the 45. Here, Cannava made a circus catch of a Songin pass on the Clemson 21. Diminick then took another Songin offering at the seven and then another in the end zone. Stautner kicked to make it 19 for B.C. The game ended with Cannava taking a Songin aerial at the Tigers ' 30. B.C. 14 WILLIAM AND MARY 14 H.C. 19 ST. MARY ' S 7 The Eagles ran a succe ssful race with the clock to gain a thrilling 14-14 tie with the hard hitting Indians of Villiain and Mary, and then attempted to go 93 yards for a victory with but one minute left. B.C. beat the clock in the second period fur the first tally. Al Cannava crossed the Indian goal line at 14:55 on a 45 yard pass play from Songin to Spinney on the W. M. 10. Two Indian defenders embraced Spinney but in the battle one batted the pigskin into Cannava ' s arms and off he went to score. Ernie Stautner converted. In the fourth period, the Eagles started their 53 ard march with Songin ' s pitching arm paving the way. A Songin to Albie Gould pass set the stage at the Indian ' s three yard line. Mike Poissant then powered through the line for the touchdown. With Steve Stuka holding, Stautner kicked again for the 14-14 deadlock. Tommy Korczowski unloaded an out-of-bounds kick at the B.C. seven. iTie Eagles tried for those 93 yards. Songin passed to Cannava for 15; Poissant blazed to the B.C. 41 ; Spinney grabbed a great catch for 29 yards at the W. M. 30. Songin was given wonderful pro- tection as time allowed for one more play. He lined his sights on Cannava. But a defender going back with Cannava slipped on the wet grass and went down right in Cannava ' s path. The B.C. halfback went stumbling over the sprawled Indian and the pass was taken by W. M. ' s Jack Bruce as the gun barked the end of the contest. The Eagles, a 12 point favorite, drubbed St. Mary ' s of California 19-7 before 13,693 at Braves Field. B.C. went 32 yards in seven plays for t.d. number one. Midway through the second quarter the Gaels attempted to pass out from the shadows of their own goal posts only to have the effort backfire as Ed Clasby snatched the aerial on the visitors ' 32. Two rushes produced six yards then Songin passed, only to have the Gaels ' Dick Jarvis come up with the ball. But the latter lost the ball in transit and Albie Gould claimed ownership. Three rushes attempted from the Gaels ' eight yard line were stalled. Thus on fourth down, Songin faded and pitched to Art Spinney deep in the end zone for the initial score. Ernie Stautner ' s kick was too low. Mike Poi-sant intercepted a long Gael aerial near the end of the second period on the B.C. nine. The Flying Frenchman reversed activities by taking the ball out to the B.C. 34. Songin passed to Spinney who loosed a lateral to Al Cannava who struck up to the home team ' s 44. Songin lofted a 24 yard aerial to Poissant who scam- pered for 12 paces. Willy DeRosa squirmed through the mud for eight yards, then Songin passed to Poissant for 12 more. An eight yard pass to Poissant gave the score. Steve Stuka passed to Spinney for the extra point. Eagle Bob Palladino set up the third and final B.C. t.d. when he intercepted a St. Mary ' s pass at the B.C. 46 and returned it to the Gaels ' 32 yard line. Songin heaved 24 yards to Cannava for the last score. Butch Songin gets the play started, while the strong Eagle line stands off the William and Mary forward wall. After having faked to Joe Diminick (41), Songin gets set to pitch out to Bob Palladino, running even with the chalk mark.

B.C. 21 HOL ' CROSS 20 The Eagles ' talons scratched to a very close 21-20 vic- tory at Braves Field before the usual B.C.-H.C. packed house and the stadium nearly rocked as the class of ' 49 witnessed the first B.C. win while undergraduates. B.C. pushed to the Crusaders ' eight and five yards on two different drives in the first period, yet on both occa- sions were held. But on the first play following the sec- ond threat, H.C. hobbled the ball and big Art Donovan covered it at the five yard line. On third down, Butch Songin pitched to Art Spinney who lateraled to Al Cannava. Cannava fumbled but the ball wobbled into the end zone and there Cannava pounced upon it for the initial score. Ernie Stautner kicked the first of B.C. ' s three important conversions. The Eagles were not in serious trouble in the second period, but one faulty pass that slid into the arms of H.C. ' s Dechard set the Crusader defender off on a 45 yard spurt to a touchdown. Albie Gould rushed in to block the in- tended equalizer. Jack Farrell had trouble with Palmer ' s kickoff and was hit on his own 14. After one play H.C. ' s Stetter intercepted a tipped pass by Ed Clasby on the B.C. 17. In two plays H.C. had a first down on the B.C. six. Stan Goode and Stautner threw Byers for a five yard loss on the next play but immediately thereafter Leo Troy outleaped two Bee Cees in the end zone for Brennan ' s pass and H.C. ' s second score. Veto Kissell kicked the extra point. The Eagles roared back in the third period to go ahead of the Crusaders for good. After one nine yard advance, Songin hit Joe Diminick for a first down on the H.C. 35. Mike Poissant plowed up the middle to the 17 then Songin thre v to Spinne)- at the six. After H.C. was penalized to the one foot line and another double penalty, Poissant crashed the line for a touchdown. Steve Stuka, holding for Stautner, crossed up the H.C. defense by passing to Spinney for the extra point. Leading 14-13, the Eagles went ahead to another score almost immediately. Clasby stole one of Brennan ' s passes on the B.C. 47. The Eagles then carried to the H.C. 47 but were set back 15 yards on a penalty. But Songin overcame this deficit by tossing to Diminick for a first down on the H.C. 32. Then another Songin aerial to Spinney placed the ball at the 17. After driving to the 1 1 and two phn s later, Poissant took a pitch-out and crossed into pay-dirt for his second score. Here Stautner toed across the vital 21st point. The Eagles continued to give the Crusaders cause for worry when the) ' again moved deep into the visitors ' grounds. But Jim Deffley intercepted a B.C. pass at the H.C. 17. At this point the Braves Field arc lights went on and the game continued. B.C. ' s Bill McCarthy inter- cepted a Holy Cross attempt in the air and traveled to the Crusaders ' 10 yard line. But B.C. was pushed back to the 24 via a penalty and was finally held on downs at the H.C. 20. The Crusaders had to kick again and B.C. moved back to the H.C. 13 but again the Warcester Cousins held. The ball exchanged hands again before H.C. commenced their final drive from their own 28. Brennan, ace Crusader of the afternoon, passed his team to the B.C. 21 and there he started to cast some more. Spinney batted one down in the end zone but another struck home with Kelville receiving it for a first down at the B.C. six. Brennan then chucked to Cook in the end zone for the Crusaders ' 19th point. Kissel made it 20. Steve Stuka intercepted Brennan ' s long pass at the H.C. 20 and got to the 24 as time ran out. BOSTON COLLEGE 21 HOLY CROSS 20 Al Cannnva just left one Crusader with his hands dutching mud, and no more, and looks hke he should go the distance but big Bill Stetter (17), caught the Medford flash at the H.C. 20. Shades of 1942 — Two B.C. defenders, Will DeRosa (36), and Kenny Hughes (40), go up in tlie air with Crusader Leo Troy in the end zone, but Troy came down with the pass for Holy Cross ' second touchdown. A Songin to Spinney pass set up the Eagles ' third touchdown against the Crusaders. Three plays later Poissant was stepping into the end zone and Stautner toed that vital 21st point. Mike Poissant breaks through for the 13th and tying marker in the third quarter of the Holy Cross game. Ernie Stautner was poised to kick the extra point but rather, Steve Stuka passed to Art Spinney for point number 14 and the Eagles were never headed after that. WE LOST BUT TWO AND DEFEATED OUR The training period is over which is evident here as the foot- ball squad displays its anxious appetite on broiled live lobsters.

HOCKEY NATIONAL CHAMPS Tile story of this year ' s hockey team begins way back in March of 1948 with a note of frustration. It ended this March — and the 1948-49 hockey team was National Intercollegiate hockey champion, the most successful hockey team ever to represent Boston College and proba- bly the most successful athletic aggregation ever to plav for B.C. It is a true champion. We ' ve had our 1928 eastern football champions and our 1940 Sugar Bowl national grid champions, to name onh the most memorable teams. They probably received greater distinction and glory than our present hockey champions, but surely were not worthy of more. Football champions are claimed on records as was seen in 1940 when Min- nesota and B.C. both clamored for the national grid title and neither one ' s claim was fully honored. No such confusion shrouds our present hockey cham- pions from the Heights. They won the New England championship hotli by record and actual competition which extended through a perilous play-off series. They claimed a mythical eastern title by record alone. They won a national tourney in- vitation by record and pla and then won the national championship the same way. Their rise to the throne of American collegiate hockey was truly a champion ' s, beginning obscurely and ending gloriously. The Eagles ' success story started in the same placed it ended — Colorado Springs, Colorado, a pictur- esque Rocky Mountain pleasure resort. The date was March 19, 1948 and Boston College was one of the four teams chosen as district champions to fight it out for the first time for a national championship. Dartmouth repre- sented the Ivy League at the same tourney and opened the two day series with an 8-4 win over Colorado College. For its semi-final, the Eagles drew Michigan, the future champion. In this game, the Eagles looked superb, beating the Wolverines to the gun in scoring and then scaring them with three fast goals to lead 3-1 in the second period. The Wolverines regained their composure first to tie the Ea rle;. 4-4 before the final whistle and then to knock them out of championship contention in overtime with two goals for a 6-4 Michigan win. The Wolverines then went on to win the tournament. The loss was discouraging but its impact was lessened considerably by the two day vacation from study and the pleasant thoughts of the then ne.xt season.

John Kelley, Jr. FOR I 949 Eagles would lose only two men, Co-captains Bob Mason and Johnny Corcoran and in their place would be the sophomore line of Jack Mulhern, Len Ceglarski and Fran Harrington. The 1948 season started auspiciously except for one point. Giles Threadgold was declared ineligible. Soon there would be more to worry about in the line of injured players, but the Eagles nor anyone else had any idea of this when B.C. tamed M.I.T. 13-5 in the season ' s opener. Ed Songin, who only a few days before had finished the foot- ball season at quarterback against Holy Cross, didn ' t play. His rest was short-lived however, for he played every other game and averaged 58 minutes per contest. Warren Lewis topped the Eagle scorers with three goals and an assist while teammates Mujhern and Jim Fitzgerald tal- lied two each in downing the Engineers. Brown offered the first test for the Eagles. Songin was back at his defenseman ' s post but it was the soon to be famed sophomore line which provided the thrills and also the goals. Ed Butch Songin. capiain-elect for the 1949-50 hockey squad, proved instrumental in the Eagles ' capture of national honors at his defense post. Warren Lewis, first line center, 5cnds a near miss at Northeastern ' s goal. But Lewis didn ' t miss all night as the Eagles romped 9-1. Goalie Bernie Burke goes down for a save in the first B.U. game at the Arena which the Eagles took handily 5-1. Joe McCusker. (4), lends a helping hand. Harvard red-lighter at 47 seconds of the opening period. That was also the last for the Crimson, for a while anyway, as B.C. scored the next five goals for a 5-1 lead. The Cantabs were never in the game after that. Jim Fitzgerald led the attack, scoring the hat trick and chipping in an assist. Goalie Bernie Burke co-starred with Songin on defense as they stopped the Crimson charges while the Harvard defense completely collapsed on oc- casions. A crowd of 5,578 fans, largest crowd to watch a college hockey game since the beginning of the war, jammed the Arena for the Boston University game and saw B.C. teamplay working at its best, as five different Eagles figured in the 5-1 triumph. Ceglarski scored at the nine minute mark for the open- ing score of the first period. In the second, Harrington and Mclntire added two more to ice the game for B.C. Two more scores by Joe McCusker and Mulhern offset the B.U. Jack Clopeck score but the fans leaving the Arena were talking about Songin ' s checking. In one series of action, Terrier Ed Cahoon barrelled down the puck and three times he wound up without puck and composure, prostrate on the snowy ice of the St. Botolph St. Arena. Others were not so daring, trying to skate around the immovable Butch but their success was negligible as the score attests. Songin ' s blocks were entirely within legal bounds but the Terriers in their anxiousness to reciprocate didn ' t Harrington, with Mulhern and Joe ] ' IcCusker assist- ing, banged home the first score at 2:30 of the first period. Five minutes later, the score was tied when Brown ' s Jim Sutherland evened it up with a high fast shot. Thirty minutes passed before Ceglarski tied the game late in the second period. Harrington and Ceglarski re- peated in the third period and Gallagher clocked one 24 minutes before the final bell for a 5-1 win. The victory •was costly though, for Lewis was knocked out of action temporarily by a body check. Jack Mclntire starred in the Yale game but Ceglarski started the B.C. scoring and tied the game at 1-1 in the second minute of the second period. Two minutes later, Mclntire scored the winning goal on an unassisted per- formance at 3 :50. He added another in the third period and the Eagles had their third straight win, this time by a 3-1 score. Lewis ' shoulder was still bothering him and Gallagher took his place on the first line. Practice makes perfect, or something to that effect, caused the B.C. six to schedule Devens College and the result was a 22-1 rout for the Eagles. A brief rundown of the game ' s scoring gave Mulhern three goals, seven assists; Harrington four and three; Mclntire three goals, all in the third period, and Songin two goals and five assists. Harvard felt the impact of the high scoring B.C. offense in its opener with the Eagles as it bowed 9-4. Jack Car- man touched off the parade of goals for the night with a Warren Lewis, first lir the scoring department. center, stayed with the leaders in fare too well, and in the third period eiy;ht penalties were called, most of them on the Terriers. The only bad result of all the roughness came acci- dentally- The Eagles ' Harrington tried to avoid a Ter- rier block and went sailing into Red Czarnota whose crouching body flung Harrington onto the ice, injured. In the scoring department, the Eagles would have made a romp out of the game only for the masterful goal tend- ing of Ike Bevins. On three occasions, he stopped solos by Mulhern and at other times proved amazing in the nets when the Eagles were at a distinct advantage. The second Devens game was cancelled because of the ic ' condition of the roads leading from Ayer and the Eagles weren ' t any sadder because of the cancellation. The Colorado College game was only three days later and they wanted to take advantage of the rest in practice for the Tigers from the Midwest. Made up of the best Canadian and American players competing on any American college team, the Rocky Mountain se.xtet came into Boston, fatigued from playing Yale the night before but otherwise in good physical shape. At least they were in much better condition than the Kelleymen whose second line was almost entirely missing. Harrington was still nursing his injury and Ceglarski was still bothered by his muscle trouble, thus forcing Mul- hern to play with two new wings. Mclntire and Johnny Gallagher were shifted to the second line to combine with Mulhern. On the first line.

Giles Threadgold (13) and Jackie Mulhern (right) close in on the Princeton nets during the Eagles ' 5-2 win over the Tigers. Coach Kelley moved up Delorey from defense and later in the game. Bill Byrne subbed for Delorey. An exclusive crowd of 5,973 collegiate fans attended the game to set all kinds of attendance records for a collegiate ice game at the Arena, and if the Garden could have been had for the game, it would have sold out. As it was, the reserved seats for the game had been sold out for more than two weeks and the last unreserved seat was sold an hour before the game, an estimated 2,500 fans being turned away. Another 200 didn ' t leave, stand- ing outside the doors until the game was over. The game itself lived up to all advance expectations as the Colorado team tied the game 5-5 in the last 15 seconds of the game and the Eagles ' Mclntire scored on a perfect play in the overtime period for a 6-5 triumph. The Kelleymen led 3-2 at the end of the first period on goals by Delorey, Fitzgerald and Gallagher, but Colorado both held the Eagles scoreless and scored twice to gain a 4-3 lead going into the third period. Then Bryne, putting in his first appearance of the night, teamed with Fitzgerald and Lewis at 6:56 to tie the score. Mulhern feinted the whole team out of position to stickhandle his way to an unassisted goal and the Eagles breathed easier with repossession of the lead. The Heightsmen held on to this lead almost to the end. But 15 seconds before the game-ending bell, the visitors ' Rowell lifted a shot over the prostrate form of Burke for WE TOPPED THE LOCAL CONFERENCE tlie cncning { oal. It seemed like the end for the Eagles at that moment. Burke had expended his seemingly un- limited energy to stop every threat of tile Tigers for that whole period, excepting the final 15 seconds. Only ten men were used for the entire 60 minutes and three of them had played the whole game. However, the Eagles crowned themselves champions long before the Colorado tourney when they came back after a ten minute rest and scored the winning goal. Mc- Intire and Mulhern performed the task on a beautiful passing combination, Mclntire enjoying the honor of slid- ing the puck into the nets for the winning goal at 7 :01 of the overtime period. After that victory, every game was a pushover by com- parison. Mid-) ' ear exams over, the Eagles welcomed back Giles Threadgold and ' I ' hreadgold responded with equal en- thusiasm, scoring a goal and an assist, as B.C. romped over M.I.T., 11-5, at the Skating Club. Ten men figured in the scoring, Songin, Mulhern and Mclntire leading the pack with two goals each. But sadly, the main ne vs was not the scoring details but another injury — the most serious of the season for the Eagles. Bill Byrne, who was replacing the injured Har- rington, was hit in the eye by an errant stick. An im- mediate operation was necessary and Byrne recuperated completely but was lost to the team for the season. Another large crowd, this time close to 3,000, turned out for the B.C. second meeting with Harvard. Both Lewis and Mulhern performed the hat trick with three goals, as the Eagles scored first and with the most for a first period 3-0 lead, the Crimson never catching up with the B.C. six. Coach Snooks Kelley has had many championship teams and has compiled a long list of victories. But not one team which he has coached has defeated Dartmouth at Hanover, N.H. This Hanover hex worked again this season and the Eagles went down to defeat for the first and last time against the Indians. They lost by a 4-2 verdict after they had jumped to an early third period 2-1 lead. Joe Riley scored the clinch- ing third goal for the Green at 16:55 of the third period, but Walt Crowley was just as much a thorn for the Eagles as he scored the tying and fourth goals for the Warren Lewis sends one of the Eagles ' five goals past the Princeton goalie during B.C.

The loss ended the B.C. winning streak at nine straight wins but revenge was to come later in the season when first they saved their honor by overcoming the same team on the Arena ice and then at the end of the season won the national championship from them. Large crowds began to become the rule rather than the exception as the Eagles regained their winning ways against Northeastern, before 3,502 fans at the Arena. The Huskies, always little giants to the hockey champions, held the Kelleymen to a 7-4 score. Mulhern was the only player to score more than once as he contributed two goals. Fitzgerald, Threadgold, Mc- Intire, Songin and Gallagher added the others. The second period decided the game, for the Eagles broke a 1-1 tie and outscored the N.U. sextet by three goals to take a decisive 4-2 lead. Easy victories over Princeton (5-2), American Inter- national (10-2), Northeastern (9-1) and St. Nick ' s (8-2) quickened the pace for the Eagles and set them in good stead for the rematch with Dartmouth. A crowd of 5,973 attended the game and saw Jim Fitzgerald score two goals, including the winning one, to spark the Eagles to their 15th win in 16 games. Fitzgerald opened the game ' s scoring in the first 30 seconds of the first period and Ceglarski added the second score eight minutes later. The Riley brothers, Joe and Bill, nullified the Eagles ' lead and tied the game in the latter part of the period with a goal and an assist each. Lewis and Ceglarski placed B.C. in a 4-3 lead in the second period after Dartmouth ' s Kerivan had put the Indians in front. Going into the third period, B.C. led 4-3. Fitzgerald started this period with his second goal of the evening at 8 :09. The Big Green retaliated Jack Riley ' s flip home at 10:35. Songin scored the clinching shot on a Ceglarski assist at 18:05 and Mulhern lofted the final goal home into the empty Dartmouth nets with only ten seconds remaining in the game. American International picked up a few pointers from the Eagles when it lost the first game 10-2. In the second at Springfield, it proved stubborn tying the B.C. boys 3-i in the third period and forcing the Eagles to score three late goals for a 6-3 win. B.U. helped the Eagles finish the regular season, bow- ing 6-2, after staying with the Kelleymen for more than half the game. Neither team could find the scoring range in the first period. Mulhern scored twice in the second period to offset B.U. Cahoon ' s shot. Lewis equalled Mul- hern ' s total in the third with Mclntire and Harrington also scoring. The Eagles had already received their invitation to compete in the national collegiate tourney at Colorado when the New England League playoffs started, and thus were favorites in this tourney. A 30 foot waist high shot by Fitzgerald in overtime saved the Eagles in the first game against Northeastern. Before that, the Eagles had been tied 4-4 for two periods and both teams failed to score in the third regular period. B.U. won the right to meet Boston College in the final playoff by knocking over M.LT. easily. Thus hockey rivals of long standing, B.U. and B.C., met again, this time for the Sands Trophy, emblematic of New England hockey supremacy. The game provided a two man duel between goalies Burke and Bevins, as the Eagles scored twice, only to have the Terriers spring back to tie. Six different players scored for the Eagles with Threadgold, Johnny on the spot, scoring unassisted in the tenth minute of the third period for the winning goal and a B.C. 5-4 triumph. Ten days later the Eagles were in Colorado, primed for a national championship win. They accomplished their purpose this time while Dartmouth won its opener against Michigan, 4-2, on St. Patrick ' s Day, with the Riley brothers starri ng. Colorado -was not allowed to use its freshmen players and were easy prey for the Eagles, dropping a 7-, game to the Heightsmen and opening the way for a battle be- tween two New England teams for the national champion- ship. The second line, with Mulhern dominating with the hat trick of three goals, sparked the B.C. offensive with five goals. Colorado possessed an earU ' 2-1 first period advantage via Milo Yalich ' s two scores while Harrington rammed home a 35 foot screen shot for the first Boston College goal. After Yalich had scored twice for Colorado, Mul- hern tied the score on a double pass from Harrington and Ceglarski. The Eagles darted ahead in the second period on two Mulhern goals and a Mclntire shot, as Yalich scored his and Colorado ' s third to keep the Mid-west team in the game. Lewis and Ceglarski turned in the deciding goals in the third period to put the Eagles in a 7-3 lead, before Newsom chipped in the Tigers ' final goal of the game at 14:41. Colorado safel) ' out of the way, the Eagles then downed the Indians from Dartmouth for their second win over the Green and the national championship. A crowd of 2,800 saw the Eagles climax the season with the first line of the Eagles shining. Lewis scored the first at 6:04 of the first period on a Fitzgerald shot. Walt Crowley and Bill Riley recipro- cated for Dartmouth to place the Hanover team in a Top — The Eagles ' first line of Jim Fitzgerald, left, Warren Lewis, middle background, and John Mclntire, right, give rush to the Dartmouth goal and Fitzgerald ' s shot got by Desmond. Middle — The B.C. net minder, Bernie Burke, is being crowded but Butch Songin, left, managed to break up this attempt by the Indians. Bottom — All eyes are on the nets and despite the presence of both defensemen, John Gallagher, left and Butch Songin, center, goalie Bernie Burke, hidden, couldn ' t hold out this corner shot. 2-1 lead. Mclntire and Ceglarski scored the lone goals of the second period for a B.C. 3-2 lead and the decisive goals of the game. Alan Kerivan tied the game for the Indians at 2:01 of the third period but Fitzgerald equalled that effort on a Lewis pass. The Indians tried hard but couldn ' t get back in the scoring column for the remaining parts of the game. The final minute of the game was described as the most thrilling as any 60 seconds seen in the Rocky Mountain resort of Colorado Springs. Goalie Desmond was taken out of the Dartmouth cage and six of the Indians peppered the puck about the Maroon and Gold net. Nonetheless, the Eagles were equal to the occasion and national cham- pionship was their reward. 1948-49 RESULTS Boston Collc jc Opponent M.l.T ...13 5 Brown 5 1 Yale 3 1 Devens 22 1 Harvard 9 4 Boston University 5 1 Colorado 6 5 M.l.T 11 5 Harvard 8 5 Dartmouth 2 4 Northeastern 7 4 Princeton 5 2 American International 10 2 Northeastern 9 1 St. Nick ' s of New York 8 2 Dartmouth 7 4 American International 6 3 Boston University 6 2 New England League Playoffs Northeastern 5 4 Boston University 6 5 National Collegiate Athletic Association Playoffs Colorado 7 4 Dartmouth 4 3 The Broadmoor Trophy, emblematic of the Na- tional Collegiate Athletic Association hockey championship, is now the property of Boston Col- lege ' s championship team. Basketball squad. Front row, left to right: Bob Woolf, captain Ray Carr, Mort Stagoff, Phil Kenney. Back row: manager Ira Mogul, Tom O ' Brien, Jim Harrington, Ron Hickey, Tom Deegan, Albie Gould, Jerry Levinson, Frank Gaffncy, and coach Al McClellan. BASKETBALL Hoop manager Ira Mogul and coach Al McClellar Once again the Eagles of the hardwood court engaged in a deadlock with the opposition. For the third con- secutive year, the McClellanmen closed the season with an even split in decisions. The hoopsters amassed a record of nine victories and a like number of defeats over the ' 48-49 campaign. A total of 977 tallies was racked up by the Eagles while the enemy shooters scored 987 points. A brilliant season had been expected with the arrival of the young stars from the previous year ' s outstanding quintet. Of the new acquisitions only Tom Deegan gained the stature of a steady star. After a slow start, the 6 ' 2 center from Brookl n mel- lowed into a smart backboard player and tile possessor of a sharp shooting eye. During the first part of the cam- paign, sophomores Frank Gaffney and Ron Hickey were almost constant bench warmers. Frank, also a Brooklyn lad, was given his chance in the twilight of the schedule and made good. Ron was bothered for the most part of the year by a groin injury and was of very little value. Dan Bricker was again the bellwether in the scoring department for the squad, Tom O ' Brien and Deegan often threatening Danny ' s point-getting title. Bricker ' s lefthanded lay-ups earned him this honor for the second straight year. Tom O ' Brien was selected on the Boston Post All- New England five. The captain-elect for ' 49-50 distin- guished himself with his heads-up play at all times. Tom was an ace playmaker due in no small measure to his great passing ability, and was a top defensive performer usually called on to guard the opposition ' s most dangerous marks- man. He was very valuable in the scoring phase of the court game, being a deadly set shot artist. The quintet was led on the ffoor by captain Ray Carr who, when General j ' IcClellan was away because of death in the family, served capably as hoop mentor. Chesty Ray set some sort of record while at University Heights for consecutive games started. Frank Higgins rounded out the original starting five but an ankle injury tossed him out of action for the bell lap of the season. Frank, an expert at set shots, was Bricker ' s closest rival for scoring honors when he twisted his ankle. Particularly adept at intercepting passes, Higg was a sharp defensive man. The Alaroon and Gold boa;ted of two top substitutes in Gerry Levinson and Mort Stagoff. Gerry held the No. 6 spot during the opening section of the schedule and Mort was at his best as the campaign was nearing its end. Bob Fitzgerald was once again available when the going was tough against the tall timber variety of hoopsters. Phil Kenney saw little action but showed how good he was with an outstanding performance against Holy Cross. Bob Wolff and Tom Meade rounded out the corps of the McClellanmen. Captain Ray Chesty Carr listens to coach McCIellan. The Eagles take a break during the Manhattan game at the Garden, which the Jaspers v.o.t 65-54. The Eagles found the going rough as the start of the season losing two low margin contests before they could get their bearings. Dartmouth and Tufts were the victors by less than two baskets. After wins over Harvard, Boston University and the New York Athletic Club, the McClel- lanmen seemed to be headed for the best season in the B.C. hoop history. However, the honeymoon was all too short as the Maroon and Gold lost upset irays to St. Francis, a victim of the N.Y.A.C., and Providence Col- lege. The next game pitted the Eagles with Becker and revenge was sweet to the General, who remembered the previous meeting with blood in his eye. Revenge was next sweet to Manhattan and Bob Kelly. Miraculous shots and fine defensive play had stopped the Jaspers cold the previ- ous year. Holy Cross was the next obstacle in the path of the Eagles and Doggie Julian was no longer the mentor, but the style of play was the same and the Crusaders continued their supremacy. Tampa was easy prey for the Eagles but Duquesne chalked up another mark on the McClellan- men ' s debit side of the ledger. Tufts and St. Anselm were next on the list and the laroon and Gold nailed down a pair of victories. The Crusaders again came into view and Bob Cousy, Frank Oftring and Co. did nothing to help the moral of B.C. hoop fans. The drought of wins over the traditional Jesuit rival on the hardwood court continued, much to the despair of the Heightsmen. Providence once again tangled with the B.C. quintet, but the outcome was pleas- ing to the students who jammed the campus gym to Top — Jerry Levinson, 51, tries to push one in against Boston University, while Frank Higgins is off to the right. The Eagles edged the Terriers 59-53 at the Arena. Middle — Bob Fitzgerald, 55, and Mort Stagoff, right, battle under the Terriers ' basket. Bottom — Frank Gaffney sends a foul shot towards the Man- hattan hoop while Tom Deegan, 64, and Tom O ' Brien, 58, get set for the rebound. Boston College 59 witness the renewed meeting. The quintet from tiny St. Michael ' s in Winooski. Vermont, travelled to Boston ()ni ' to be handed a stiff setback and then the Eagles journeyed to Buffalo to bow out losing to Canisius. The game-by-game rundown : DARTMOUTH 48, B.C. 46. A late rally by the Eagles failed as Emil Hudak sank a set shot in the dying seconds to hand the Big Green its third consecutive win. The McClellanmen ' s main fault was their inaptitude at the foul line although they displayed fine backboard play and ball-handling. The Eagles led by Frank Higgins, who netted 17 points, trailed 25-21 at halftime. The Indians retained this advantage and Ed Leede and Hudak were the point-getters with fifteen and eleven, respectively. Dan Bricker worked eleven for the Heights- men. TUFTS 69, B.C. 66. Another quintet gained its third consecutive win at the expense of the Maroon and Gold when the latter lost another tight duel. The lead changed hands fifteen times during the first half and the score was knotted six times in the final period. The Jumbos clinched the verdict as sophomore Joe MuUaney sank three quick field goals wrecking a 62-60 B.C. lead late in the game. Dan Bricker erupted with 24 points in the Eagles ' losing battle. Spud Shapiro, Tufts captain, sank 21 digits. Converted foul shots were the rule, the Eagles scored on 24 free throws and the Jumbos, 21. B.C. 47, HARVARD 45. A set shot from thirty feet out by Frank Higgins gave the Eagles a slim victory over the Johnnies. It was a nip and tuck battle all the way with the height of the Crimson playing an important part. Higgins ' swisher followed a spirited Harvard rally that saw a ten-point B.C. lead dwindle to nothing. Tom O ' Brien shared the spotlight with Higgins. Tom was top Maroon and Gold scorer with 10 points and his all- around fine play was again valuable. Dan Bricker, Tom Deegan, Bob Fitzgerald and captain Ray Carr were all vital factors in the Eagles ' team victory, the first of the season. B.C. 59, B. U. 53. Dan Bricker, scoring 20 points, led the McClellanmen to a mild upset win over the Terriers. It was also Danny who gave the Eagles a never-relin- quished lead part way in the final half. The score at the intermission had been 28-25 in B.U. ' s favor. Accuracy at the foul line paid off for the Heightsmen as they converted thirteen of 25 attempts, while the Scarlet and White chalked up only seven tallies in 18 free throws. B. U. ' s strength lay in the hands of Anibal Oliver, Ken Rickson and Dick Lynch, but the improved passing of the Boston University 53 Heightsmen in the second half broke up the contest. B.C. 54, N.Y.A.C. 53. Once again a tally by Frank Higgins in the fading moments of the game proved vital to the pupils of General Al . With ten seconds left to play, Frank dropped a foul toss into the strings to edge the New York Athletic Club in the Big City . Tom O ' Brien netted 17 points and Higgins, Dan Bricker and Tom Deegan also appeared in the double figure scoring group. Bob Gale of the New Yorkers totaled 27 points. Frank Gaffney, Gerry Levinson and Ray Carr were important cogs of the Eagles ' defensive set-up in the nip and tuck battle. ST. FRANCIS 62, B.C. 53. Playing on successive nights proved too strenuous for the Maroon and Gold as they fell before a quintet they should have easily con- quered. Tom O ' Brien , playing in his own home town, Brooklyn, gave a stellar performance. Tom racked up 21 markers and played his usual heads-up game. John Gallagher was tops for St. Francis with 20 markers. The Eagles were in the game until a splurge of baskets by St. Francis decided the issue. Tom Deegan and Frank Higgins found the hoop for nine and eight points, respectively. PROVIDENCE 63, B.C. 58. An underrated Friar five surprised the Heightsmen as they were heading home on their longest jaunt of the season. The Providence high scorers were center Alex Becker and forward Sam Nisse. Becker stretched the strings for 16 tallies and Nisse totalled thirteen. A rarity was provided in this contest when O ' Brien left the game on fouls. Bricker topped the B.C. hoopsters with sixteen points. Tom Deegan, Frank Higgins and Frank Gaffney played great ball, but the loss of sparkplug O ' Brien proved too much for the McClellanmen. B.C. 63, BECKER 46. Revenge was like nectar to the Eagles and they piled it on to take a 17-point win from the Worcesterites. It was only a year before that the un- heralded Becker quintet upset the Heightsmen. There was no doubt this year however, for the Eagles were never behind in their most lopsided win of the season. Higgins ' sixteen points were high for the Eagles. Becker ' s Keith Brogan tossed in nineteen for the best individual effort of the night. MANHATTAN 65, B.C. 54. This time the Eagles were the victims of a revengeful quintet. The Jaspers and Bob Kelly more than avenged last year ' s upset. Kelly scored 22 points, thoroughly erasing his seven-point effort Top — Tom Deegan, up in the air, and Ray Carr, 60, cage with Manhattan. Middle — Bob Fitzgerald, 55, goes up with a lay-up against Duquesne while Tom O ' Brien, left, stands in, and Dan Bricker covers center background. Bottom — Dan Bricker, 62, and Ray Carr, 60. go after rebound in game which Duquesne won 52-42. WE HAD A CAGEY DEFENSE SETUP of a season ago, when he was completely tied up until the game ' s final minutes. Kelly also made his entrance into the 1000-point club. Tom Deegan came through in this game to show the form expected of him when the season started. However, Tom ' s 22-point effort was not enough. Manhattan had a 26-p()int advantage at one stage of the game and it was a night for the Jaspers — ami Hub Kelly. HOr.Y CROSS 46, H.C. 39. General McClellan ' s roving zone slowed up the game but it was not enough to overcome the Purple. Late in the frav at the Worcester Auditorium the zone was left aside, but Holy Cross was then in the driver ' s seat. Frank Gaffney, the Eagles ' outstanding player, kept the game tight in the first half but as the teams headed for the dressing rooms, the Crusaders led 25-22. Bob Cousy ' s fifteen tallies were high for the night and Frank Oftring and Bob McMuUan added twelve and ten, respectively. O ' Brien, Bricker and Deegan were the hoop denters for the Eagles in the second half. B.C. 63, TAMPA 52. Tampa ' s underdog quintet jumped to an early lead but Deegan ' s backboard play and Bricker ' s classy shooting dissolved the Eagles ' disad- vantage. At half time, the Maroon and Gold had a seven- point margin. Bill Mullen ' s fifteen markers were tops for the sophomore basketeers from the Deep South. Bricker again was the high-scorer, this time liitting the strings for 18 points. Deegan and Stagoff chipped in ten points each. The Eagles seemed to have the game sewed up, when in the final minuts, the Floridans put on a sparkling rally which fell short when their inexperience showed. DUQUESNE 52, B.C. 42. For the Dukes, 1948 was a banner season and the Maroon and Gold were not strong enough to make a dent in the Duquesne record. The zone was enough to hold the Dukes to a slow start but the second half was a true showing of the strength. O ' Brien, Deegan and Bricker starred for the Eagles, aided by Gaffney and Stagoff. B.C. 59, TUFTS 54. For the Jumbos, this game was a chance to gain undisputed possession of the Greater Boston hoop crown; for the Heightsmen, it was a chance to make up for an earlier Tufts victory. Mort Stagoff played his game of the season leading the Eagles with fourteen points and fine defensive play. The zone defense bottled Tufts early in the game as the Eagles took a 20-12 lead. In the second quarter Jim Tom O ' Brien, Captain-elect for 1949-50, a shot against Holy Cross. his way up for The Crusaders won out again 66-48, but here the Eagles show some real zest. Bob Fitzgerald, left, goes up while Tom Deegan is in the middle of the fight. Captain Ray Carr (60) is set to lend a hand. OUR OFFENSE WAS GOOD TOO They all came in together and all but Bob Fitzgerald, 23, leave the Heights this year. Left to right: Phil Kenney, Ed Ryan, Bob Fitzgerald, Bob Quirk, and Jim Harrington. Mullaney, Al Perry and Earle Tryder fairly sizzled and the Jumbos were ahead 28-26. The third canto was a see-saw affair and the Eagles settled the issue in the finale. B.C. 73, ST. ANSELM 65. A postponed game was played much to the benefit of the General ' s pupils. Tom Deegan was the hero of the contest. After having been knocked out in an early fourth quarter scrimmage , he returned to the court to lead the Heightsmen in the final minutes of play. St. Anselm, the highest scoring quintet among the nation ' s small colleges for two seasons running, showed great ability to come back when they tied the score after trailing by 17 tallies. Bricker ' s 22 points and Deegan ' s 21 were tops for the evening, O ' Brien netting 15 digits. HOLY CROSS 66, B.C. 48. Bob Cousy Co. spoiled the Eagles ' hopes for a long-awaited upset. The Worces- terites have repulsed many such attempts on the part of the Heightsmen in the last few years. Cousy totalled 22 points as he boosted his collegiate scoring record over the 1100 mark. Once again the McClellanmen opened with the zone but were forced to abandon it. Tom O ' Brien ' s 1 1 markers was the top Eagle achievement. B.C. 63, PROVIDENCE 59. The Eagles, featuring the pla - of O ' Brien, Gaffney and Stagoff, topped the Friars reversing an earlier decision. The visitors jumped to an 11-1 lead in the opening minutes of the contest but the Heightsmen overcame it before halftime. O ' Brien and Gaffney supplied fourteen points each for the Maroon and Gold quintet. Bob Pellagno was good for 27 Providence markers. B.C. 44, ST. MICHAEL ' S 36. The McClellanmen conquered St. Mike ' s in their final Garden game of the year. Ted Budzensky scored ten points and teammate Bill Hart added eight for the Vermonters. Mort Stagoff ' s fifteen tallies were high for the evening and Tom Deegan was worth eleven. The first half belonged to the visitors but the Eagles undid the deficit early in the second half. CANISIUS 63, B.C. 46. The trip to Buffalo to close the season was an unsuccesful bid of the Eagles to finish over the .500 won-loss mark for the first time. Bob Mac- Kinnon and Leroy Chollet, sinking 24 and 15 points respectively, were vital cogs in the Canisius machme. O ' Brien and Deegan scored nineteen and eleven tallies for the Eagles who held a slight one tally margin at the half.

TRACK 1948 OUTDOOR SEASON Harvard 108 B.C. 32 Harvard ' s superiority in field events, due to Olympian Sam Felton, left little for a weak Eagle squad to salvage. Nevertheless, Matt Malloy led the entire distance in the mile ; Jim Taylor won the 880 ; Ralph King won the 220 ; and Tom Garrity earned a tie for first in the high jump. Maine 87 B.C. 48 At Orono, B.C. lost in field events again. It looked like an Eagle victory as the Heightsmen exercised superiority in the running events but in the field Maine had a 50 point advantage. In running events, Tom Greehan was first in the low hurdles and second in the high; King, victorious in both 100 and 220 yard dashes; Dick Har- rington a winner in the 440 and Taylor won the 880 and the mile. The B.C. point-getters in the field events were newcomers Ed Joachim, third in the discus ; Gar- rity and Jack Gilmore, first and second in the liigh jump, and Frank Devine, third in the broad jump. M.I.T. 1041 2 B.C. 34 Northeastern 26 ' , B.C. ' s first triangular meet of the year offered some consolation as the Eagles beat out Northeastern but were snowed under by M.I.T. The field events told a good part of the story, yet it was the first time this season that any opponent showed a definite advantage over the Heightsmen, as Tech exhibited some very good runners to go along with their field men. The only B.C. winners were Taylor in the 880 and Garrity with the javelin. Captain Greehan however, took seconds in both the high and low hurdles while King came up with a second and a third in the 100 and 220. Holy Cross 88 B.C. 46 A strong Holy Cross team exercised supremacy in both running and field events. Rain and a muddy track hampered the Eagles as the only men to register victories for B.C. were Greehan, high and low hurdles; Taylor in the 880 but lost the mile by only a half a stride ; Gilmore, winner, with Garrity and Ward Strange, made it a clean sweep in the high jump. Ernie Stautner took a third in the hammer throw and Gio Folearelli did the same with the shot. Other men to score in the field events were Tom Garrity and Jack Dempsey in the javelin, Gilmore and John Joyce in the broad jump. B.C. 101 Devens 34 A highly confident Devens team found that B.C. wasn ' t the pushover their record indicated. In this last scheduled meet of the season, the Heightsmen showered down 13 victories in 15 events. Only in the pole vault and hammer throw did B.C. fail to take first. Victorious Eagles were Ralph King in botli the 100 and 220 yard dashes; Frank Dempsey by an eyelash over teammate Dick Harrington in the 440; Ta ' l()r in both the 880 and one mile; Charlie McKenna in the two mile; Tom Greehan, a double barreled victory in the high and low hurdles; Tom Gar- ritv in both the high jump and ja elin; Gio Folearelli in the shot put and Ed Joachim in the discus. In the New England Outdoor Intercollegiates at Brown, B.C., represented by a nominal squad of 10 men, placed but two men in the fimil standings. Jim Ta lor was a clo,:e third in the 880 while Bill Morro, in his debut, placed in both the shot put and the discus. The B.C.A.A. announced the appointment of Bill Gil- ligan as assistant track coach. An ex-Eagle great. Bill should prove a great help in aiding coach Jack Ryder solve the ferious deficiencies in weight talent. CROSS COUNTRY SEASON Opening against Amherst the Eagle harriers were soundly trounced, 15-46, as Amherst took the first five places. A month later, Devens edged out a 25-30 win. The New England Intercollegiate cro.-;s country cham- pionship at Franklin Park, in which B.C. again failed, ended the season. The brightest note of the cross country season was the showing of the first B.C. freshman cross country squad which included Tony Sapienza, Tom Kelley, John Sim- mons, Phil Dalton and George Babcoack. Sapienza won top honors of the season as cross country champion in the New England Freshman Intercollegiates. Jack Ryder ' s cinder-path-men on the mark for the spring meets. Ralph King, the first of his race ever to captain a major sport at Boston College. King hails irom Cambridge and is the New England Intercollegiate 100 yard dash champion. CINDER COACHES: assistant Bill Gilligan. and head coach Jack Ryder. BASEBALL OUR VARSITY Bob Quirk, Manchester, N.H., had a string of 12 consecutive wins going into the 1949 season. They dated back to his freshman year, when he won seven and lost but one. He pitched to four wins in 1947 but in 1948, a broken foot limited him to one victory. O ' Brien opened the season April 14 against Harvard on a cold gray day at Soldier ' s Field. It was a close game until the fourth inning, when the Eagles opened up on Crimson hurler Ira Godin and began the barrage that was to bring them eight hits and eleven runs, while Captain Don was holding the Harvards to four hits and a shutout. Bob Fitzgerald was the Eagles ' big clouter, getting three of the Maroon and Gold safeties. A week later the Crimson invaded Alumni Field for revenge, only to face Stuka in his fir.t start of the year. Steve gave up his largest hit total of the season, nine, while whiffing seven Cambridge batters. The final score was Eagles 6, Harvard 2, as the Maroon and Gold jumped all over Ralph Hymans with Brosnahan and Ed Clasb - poling homers, and Clasby, Stuka and catcher Jack Fitzgibhons hitting triples. Brosnahan and ' urewicz pulled off three double plays to serve notice that they were on their way to acclaim as the best collegiate second base combination in New England. The Eagles journeyed to New Haven next to meet Yale and the fabulous fastballer, Frank Quinn. Scouts from the Red Sox and the Yankees were in the stands to look over the Eli star, and he came up with his best show of the year, blanking the Eagles with one hit. Don O ' Brien opposed him, giving only five hits ior seven innings before he was lifted for a pinch hitter, and Stuka finished. Johnny Yurewicz led off with a sharp single With this year ' s baseball team still in action as the yearbook goes to press, baseball news will have to be confined to last season ' s team, practically a carbon copy of the 1949 team. The 1948 diamond team under the tutelage of Freddie Maguire did very well for themselves and the college, winning 16 games and losing but four. Going into the last of May, the Eagles had a record of 12 wins against just one defeat, that coming at the hands of Yale, 2-0, as Frank Quinn of the Elis, now with the Red Sox, set them down with one hit. However, late season losses to Colby, Tufts, and Holy Cross dropped the Eagles out of contention for an N.C.A.A. bid, and they had to take consolation in defeating the Crusaders in their last game of the year. The story of the 1948 club can be told in two names, Steve Stuka and Don O ' Brien. Not that the big bats of the rest of the club and the sparkling infield play of this year ' s co-captains Johnny Brosnahan and John Yurewicz weren ' t big factors, but the pitching told the story. Captain Don O ' Brien of Cambridge, and Steve Stuka of Clinton, both righthanders, went to the mound 16 times between them and came home in front 12 times, six apiece, losing four. They were the class of the college hurlers they faced, with the e.xception of Yale ' s Quinn. Co-captains John Brosnahan, left, and John Yurewicz, right, join coach Freddie Maguire in planning the 1949 season. NINE WERE AN AGGRESSIVE TEAM to center, but tliat w:is all, as tlie rest of tlie Heightsmen went down before Quinn ' s fast ball and the Eagles had their first defeat. They came back to win ten in a row, starting with Rhode Island State which had the misfortune to meet Stuka at his best. Steve gave up but two scratch singles as he shut out Frank Keaney ' s club 7-0, setting down 18 batters in a row in one stretch. All of the Eagles combed three Kingston pitchers liberally, and the win stretch was on. Ne.xt victim was Providence College, who went down 22-4 at Alumni Field. O ' Brien gave up ten hits but the game took three hours, as Bob Lynch and Bob Fitzgerald hit homers and Yurewicz, O ' Brien and centerfielder Frank O ' Sullivan smashed out triples to lead a 16 hit br.rrage. Boston arch-rival, Boston University, faced Jerr Levinson in his first start at the Heights, and the right- hander from Bourne gave only four hits, as the Eagles won 7-3. Ed Collins of Newton homered, Brosnahan got two for three, and Fitzgibbons three for four, as Bros and urewicz backed Levinson with three more double plays. On May 2nd, Stuka duplicated his feat at Kingston previously as he blanked Northeastern 3-0, with two hits, again setting down 18 straight hitters. Steve also homered. O ' Brien beat Rhode Island S tate next, 8-0, at Alumni Field, giving up two scratch hits, as Clasby homered and singled, and Fitzgerald doubled and homered. Next was Providence at Providence. It was Stuka again with a five hitter, as Yurewicz and O ' Sullivan hit homers under the fence and Eddie Collins drove one o er the barrier in a 9-1 shellacking. Bob Quirk faced M.l.r. next, and beat them with eight hits, 15-3, as Brosnahan got a grand slam home run, and little Johnny Yurewicz another in the five-run eighth inning. Devens went down for the Eagles, eighth straight, 7-6, at Alumni 1949 Baseball Squad.

Boston College entertains Middlebury at the Heights but this was just before the rain began to fall. Eddie Clasby starts after a grounder headed for third base, Eddie Walsh is on the mound and Eddie Collins is racing to cover first base. Jack Fitzgibbons is the B.C. catcher. STUKA PITCHED A SHUT-OUT Field, as O ' Brien got poor support, while striking out twelve. Villanova came to the Heights for the first Sunday game in the history of the school, dragging a big reputa- tion behind them. The Eagles could do nothing wrong as Stuka held the Wildcats to five hits, and won 12-0. Number twelve was the University of New Hamp- shire, 13-3. O ' Brien kept the five-hit tradition alive as Fitzgibbons drove a double and two singles to pace a 17 hit outburst. Then with the Eagles at the top of their slugging form, a slim, softballing righthander, Roy Leaf of Colby, held them helpless to snap the win streak, 5-1, as Stuka came up with a sore arm in the fifth and had to retire in favor of Levinson. A Bob Lynch single, fol- lowed by a Frank O ' Sullivan triple got the Eagles ' only score. The slumping Eagles next met Tufts at Medford with O ' Brien on the hill. For once the dark-haired captain didn ' t have it, and the Jumbos made it two straight losses for the Maroon and Gold, 7-6, as the swift base-running of George Minot and the clouting of Rudy Fobert made the diiiference. With the record at 12-3, and a chance for the N.C.A.A. tourney still alive, the Eagles bested Am- herst, coached by old-time Athletics star, stuffy McGinnis, 5-0, as lefty Eddie Walsh spun a five hitter in the old winning tradition. Northeastern came next and was beaten at Brookline, 14-2, with O ' Brien back in form with a three hitter. Feature of this game was a six-run first inning as Collins, Brosnahan, and O ' Brien all tripled, and Yurewicz led off with a homer. Stuka was trying for his ' first win over the Crusaders of the Cross as the Eagles journej ' ed to Worcester for the first of a three game series which was fated never to be finished. Steve, who had given one, two, and three hits against the Cross the previous year and lost them all, faced Joe Reedy, Purple ace. In one of the fastest college games on record, one hour and 32 minutes, Stuka lost again, 2-1, as each pitcher gave up five hits. Stuka walked none and struck out four, as Reedy was fanning one and walking six. The Eagles led in the first inning one to nothing, the Cross tied it up in the fourth and got the winning run in the seventh on a single by footballer Bobby Sullivan, a sacrifice, and a Joe Mannix single with two out. Waiting for the next crack at the Purple, the Eagles Eddw Collins makes the put-out on ,i MIddlebury runner at first in a same at Alumni Field which was later rained out. Eddie Rvan. reser e third baseman, is one of the few seniors on the 1949 squad. Eddie also played four years with the basketball team. WE HAD ROBUST HITTERS edged Devens at Ayer, 7-6, for tlieir fifth win of the campaign with Ed Walsh doing well until the ninth when the G.I. ' s came up with four runs. Stuka came in and forced a batter to hit to Brosnahan as the winning run started home. The ball deflected off Johnny ' s glove to the sprawled Yurewicz, who tagged the bag for the final out while flat on his face. The edge was off for the Eagles as Yale was named as the Eastern N.C.A.A. representative, but there ■were still those games left with Holy Cross. Coach Maguire chose Stuka again for the second, played at Worcester for home- coming day as the game at Alumni Field was rained out. 4000 turned out to see Stuka give his biggest hit total in five games against the Cross, but finally winning 9-3, with a six hitter. Reedy was again coach Jack Barry ' s choice, but he lasted but three innings. Al McEvoy, star lefthander, came in then and couldn ' t get an Eagle out. Dick Shellan- bach, brother of the Eagles ' Frank, took over in the sixth and finished, but it was too late. The Eagles had 15 hits and nine runs, six coming off McEvoy in the sixth. Clasby, O ' Sullivan, and Lynch led the parade with doubles while Jack Fitzgibbons chipped in a triple and the series was tied. The last game, the rubber, was never played. Rain delayed several attempts, and by then it was well into June. The Eagles wanted to try a night game at Braves Field, which would have drawn a near-capacity crowd, but the Crusader officials nixed the idea, thus the season ended that way; The record of 16-4 was commendable and without a few let-downs, necessary perhaps, but fatal, the Eagles might have been the top Eastern team. This year ' s squad, without O ' Brien, and with Stuka doubtful about his arm, may have a tougher time, but Yurewicz and Brosnahan will have to be shown. As co-captains they want the Eagles to go all the way, and very well they might, with each position being re-filled by re- turning veterans. The loss of O ' Brien inay hurt the cause this spring, but his absence may well be forgotten should Bob Quirk end his college career with another sophomore season and Eddie Walsh, a late season find a year ago, follow through. Good luck to them. GOLF lioslon Collcgc ' .s championship i;oH tc-.iin take Club. Left to right arc Dick Kinchla, Dick Crowley, and Vin Moran. Boston College, New ICngland intercollegiate champs for the past two years, and coaclied by John Snooks Kelly, is aiming again for a shot at tlie national title, which they lost in the finals at California last summer and at Michigan in 1947. Captain Dick Kinchla leads the regular se.xtet in rank, having s ucceeded teammate Harry Ernst this season and thus rates pre-eminence. Kinchla has played for the past two years, both times competing in the national tourney. He won the State caddy and junior title in 1942, the Leo Martin Memorial Tourney in 1946, and the C.Y.O. championship in 1947. Last year he reached the quarter- finals in the New England amateur tournament. In 1947 he broke par at the national tourney in Michigan, shoot- ing one below par 72 with an eagle on the 18th hole. He was the only player, with the exception of National Col- legiate Champion Bob Harris of Michigan, to shoot be- low par in that tourney. Kinchla won the New England intercollegiate championship in 1947, and last year he was defeated in the club championship at Commonwealth Country Club by his teammate, Harry Ernst. Ernst is a champion in his own right, having a flock of medals dating back to high school days at Brookline High Scllool. President of tlie junior class, the infantry veteran qualified in the national tourney as Michigan in 1947 but suffered a similar fate to Kinchla ' s and lost. , a swini; over at the Coirinionweahh CouTiir) Meehan, Gael Coaklcy, Walter Murphy, Bob However he doesn ' t lose very often, as can be seen by his Boston College championship rating. Ernst went to the semi-finals in the State amateur in 1947 and won the club championship at Commonwealth. In the State amateur tourney last year he shot a 69, the sixth golfer ever to score below 70 in the State amateur for the past forty years. Last year he went to the finals of the New England intercollegiate event at Oakle} ' , but lost out. He is a member of the Commonwealth Country Club four ball team. The only senior on the team is Dick Meehan of Wol- laston, who captained his North Quincy team to the State high school championship in 1944 and since then has been splitting his golfing between the Wollaston four ball team and the Eagles. Coached by John Kelley, better known as Snooks , tutor of the national champion hockey team, the B.C. golfers have an all-Eire extraction lineup of Kinchla, Ernst, Meehan, Coakley, Murphy, Crowley and Moran, all former captains of their school teams. All the boys have championships, starting with city and extending through State titles, in both amateur and inter- collegiate ranks. Naturally this year, they ' re gunning for par for the national course, another trip to the nation- wide collegiate tournament in Iowa, and another look at the roster supports their optimism. TENNIS After a lapse of some eight ears, tennis has once again attained the status of a varsity sport. Established as a varsity sport prior to 1940, it was discontinued during the war years. In the spring of 1948 it was reinstated and Mr. John Brennan, ' 42, a former varsity tennis player and a member of tile CBA faculty, was named coach. At the ver ' outset of the ' 48 season the team was plagued with ill luck in the form of bad weather and lack of practice courts. As a result it was off to a bad start. Vith the ad ent of more seasonable vi eather the courts at the Heights were put into shape and the practice facilities were then available. By midseason the team, composed of Captain Fred Sheenan, John Ginty, Fred Elwyn, Roy Doane, George Mahoney, Henry Lawlor, and Don Davidson with Frank Kelley as manager, hit its stride and the latter part of the campaign ended with a string of victories. There were two trips in ' 48. The first, to New York to play Manhattan, was a closely fought match ending with a 5-4 win for Manhattan. The second journey provided the final match for the season. At Waterville, Me., the Eagles fashioned an easy 8-1 victory. The first post war season ended with a creditable record of four wins, four losses. The outlook for 1949 seems to be decidedK ' on the brighter side. To begin with, the old tennis courts have been completely renovated and with a winter of rain and snow in which to settle they should be in excellent con- dition for the season. Coach Brennan has six returning lettermen. Captain-elect John Ginty, Fred Sheenan, George Mahoney, Roy Doane, Henry Lawlor and Don Davidson. However, this veteran aggregation will face very stiff opposition in the coming campaign. The 1949 schedule has added Harvard, Boston University, and M.I.T. to the returning list of foes which includes Colby, University of JN ' Iass., Manhattan, Tufts, and Holy Cross. So here ' s wishing the tennis team a most successful season in 1949 and the best of luck in all its matches. With these experienced players to form the nucleus of the squad and with the development of new talent in intramurals and freshman classes, the future tennis teams of Boston College will take their proper place among the varsitv sports at the Heights. 1949 SCHEDULE April 22 at Harvard 23 at B.U. 27 at M.LT. . 28 Univ. of Mass 30 Colby May 4 B.U. 6 at Holy Cross 7 Manhattan 11 Tufts 14 N.E.

From an inauspicious start in 1938 by the few students whose names were only too easily forgotten, it has grown to be a recognized minor sport and a large student activity. The names of the original undergraduate sponsors that appear on the records of the Intercollegiate Yacht Racing Association are of men from the classes of ' 38 to ' 40. Until 1942 the club ran rather haphazardly. Then James McSorley, ' 44, did a great deal of organizing in 1942-43. Besides setting up a skipper record that will be hard to equal, he was instrumental in Boston College ' s eotrance into the I.C.Y.R.A. in 1942 as an associate member. The B.C.Y.C. had its first major victory in 1943 when Eddie Gallagher won the I.C.Y.R.A. freshman com- petition, both individual and team. The war severely interfered with the club ' s activities and found many of the sailors sailing for colleges which had established V-12 and R.O.T.C. units. When B.C. began to fill up again in 1946 the Yacht Club began expanding also and was recognized then by the A.A. as a minor sport. Instru- mental in this advancement were, Commodore David Gaber, Maurice Reutter and Charles Brennan, all of ' 49, with James Keenan, ' 46, Thomas Hanna and Joseph Hickev of ' 50. It was in the Fall of 1947 that the reorganized club won the New England Associate Championship and on the basis of this accomplishment was elected as a regular member of the I.C.Y.R.A. in February 1948. The prowess of B.C. ' s gentlemen tars has improved greatly although tremendously handicapped by a lack of facilities. It is a great debt that is owed by B.C. and all other Greater Boston sailing colleges to Jack Wood and the M.I.T. Nautical Association who have always been willing to loan their boats and facilities for practice and racing. December of 1948 found the B.C. varsity sailing team in Washington, D.C., winning the second annual Frost Bite Regatta by upsetting all the favorites, M.I.T., Georgetown and Yale included. In 1949 the name of Boston College first appeared on the executive committee when the club secretary was elected to the nine man group that governs collegiate sailing. The spring schedule of 1949 began on February 20 with a frost bite regatta in Marblehead. Northeastern took the meeting with a team score of 58, followed by Harvard with 56 while the Eagles shivered into third place with 52. Skippers Tom Hanna and Fred Quirk in B division, Fran Charles with Bob Egan in A division, netted the 52 points. Frotit ron: F. Charles, M. Reutter, D. Gaber (Comm.), C. Brennan, J. Hickey. Back row: R. O ' Hare, P. Lelecas, J. Mclnnis. H. Hickey. G. Kane. E. Fallon, E. Nazzarro. INTRAMURALS Intramurals at Boston Collefie have been in existence for only three years, yet the number of teams and par- ticipants is unbelievable. Due to the untiring efforts of Father Ring, who shouldered the burden of establishing the foundation and organizing the various teams, intra- murals are playing an important role in the campus curriculum. Over two thousand students competed this year in the several sports program which includes football, basket- ball, Softball, volle -ball and boxing. Under the direction of Father Ring and the strong supervision of IMr. ] IcLeod. intramurals are becoming more prominent. This program is getting full attention with the acquisition of assistants and ex-football tars, Tom Brennan and Will DeRosa, who are now doing graduate work at ' the Heights. In basketball, the section H Mix-ups, led on by Jim O ' Neil, bested a total of 68 teams with a record of 12 wins and no losses. They were rewarded with jackets. Out of 31 football teams the Soph Blues headed by Ed Cranley and Boots Devaney, were heralded as champions. For their 6-0 record they received gold footballs. Big Joe Fitzgibbons, Section C senior, instructs a large group in the boxing department. A volle3 ball tournament is now in operation as is a Softball league composed of 84 teams. OUR SOCIAL LIFE WAS MEMORABLE BOOK VI J ' saiwtadu ' . THE SAGA OF THE SENIORS Despite the seeming difficulties in giving to a group of such varied membership as the seniors of 1949 the unity proper to a college class, this task at Boston College has been successfully executed since there was already existing the common bond of a universally accepted and super- natural faith upon which to build. The whole student body has indeed demonstrated more than once its general solidarity in faith both in communal religious exercises on the campus and in public demonstrations. B.C. men manifest their devotion as they march in the C.Y.O. Youth parade (left) and attend a lecture of the Physics Club at which Bishop Wright spoke (center). A view of the new gym and dorms (right). Students chat in the college cafeteria (left). Senior A philosophy class in session in one of the ultra-modern C.B.A. lecture halls (center). A view of Linden Lane from the Tower Building (right). MEMORIES TO SHARE WITH ALL This unity establi.-hed within the senior class does not, however, confine itself to mere fraternity on the campus. Together we look beyond the portals of the Tower Build- ing, our architectural symbol of unity, to distant fields where the long hours of study under the guidance of our professors will certainly bear fruit. And it is this unity in the saga of the seniors which from the past four years has given us these pages of memories to share with all. B.C. ' s spacious library is always crowded (left). Fr. Richard Shea, S.J., of the Philosophy Department chats with Mr. Mulligan (center). B.C. ' s campus is covered by one of the year ' s infrequent snowstorms (right).

The beautiful door of the Library Build- ing (right). ALL THIS AND It is quite natural that the outh who undertakes a college education should consider his student life his temporary career. The fact that the student body at Boston College is composed, for the most part, of non- residents may seem to offer an obstacle in the achievement of this end, yet the graduating class of 1949 has done an admirable job in overcoming the difficult3-. This class is the first completely post-war graduating class at the Heights. The 3fOungest members matriculated in Sep- tember of 1945, scarcely a month after the end of the war, and were later joined by the veterans whose educa- tion had been earlier interrupted by military service. Consequently, it has been the mission and conscious inten- tion of this class to reestablish and even increase, where possible, the degree to which college life had affected the whole life of the student prior to the war. During its academic days the present senior class has put special emphasis upon integrating the extra-curricula social activi- ties of each student with the activities of the student body as a whole. The pictures printed on these pages give re- assuring testimony that the graduates of 1949 have suc- ceeded in this task. That this job has been so well done despite the diffi- culties which we have already mentioned is due largely, of course, to the fact that as Catholic students in a Catho- lic college, the men at Boston College had a strong com- mon bond in their faith. But not unlike every large-scale effect, the total result was organized and carried out by the efforts of small units. The various academies, seminars and other small social groups within the college have, during the academic years, sponsored and presented a number of varied activities which have contributed to the complete educational and cultural development of all the students. And no less important in the program of the well-rounded man has been the long series of suc- cessful dances, not least among them those sponsored by the SUB TURRI. The opportunities for the expansion of their lives as college students which have been thus offered were favo-ably received by the student body, and the acti e response has been amply rewarding. We hope Pictures and more pictures — glimpses of the life at B.C. we all knew so well and will want to remember. B.C. dances through- out the year have been magnificently attended, and one of the more memorable was the Victory Dance after the Holy Cross game. It was a real dance of victory. In the picture second from top Giles Threadgold leads the dancers once more in lusty cheers. The class of ' 49 waited long for such a celebration. HEAVEN TOO? that succeeding classes will accept the same challenge to carry on and better, where possible, this tradition. It has been under such a spirit of unity and comrade- ship that the student has developed as a man. We have all reaped the benefits of this spirit during our college days; we should, each of us, have learned, along with our special knowledge, to live as a man among men. Therefore, whatever personal success we may enjoy in the future we will owe in great part to our alma mater and the fellow students with whom we shared her care and affection. It is the purpose of this year book, which has itself sprung from class devotion, never to let us forget this debt. As the years of separation from mutual contact and actual association on the campus grow longer and our memories tend to become dim, we hope that the SUB TURRI will serve as a reminder of the pleasure of those bygone days. This has been the especial aim in filling these pages with pictures which are nothing more than casual shots of the varied phases of life as a student at Boston College. We intend that taken together their total effect should be an accurate and satisfying repre- sentation of one ' s whole college career. When in days yet to come we have the -desire and occasion nostalgically- to review these pages, such glimpses of college days and activities should by association help to reconstruct for us a mental picture of our college life and, if possible, renew in each of us the spirit and fraternity of which we have been speaking. It is not a vain and idle dream to hope for the continuance of our friendships; such a tendency is natural to men. We all should have learned from the recent Building Fund Drive how dependent is the flourishing of the school upon the continued interest of the alumni. The loyalty of these sons of Boston College is kept alive by their own appreciation of the great debt which they owe to her and by their fond recollection of affection for their former fellow students. We have now added our number to the alumni and it is hoped that we will do much to preserve and develop the established tradition. This then is indirectly a function of the year book, to make you active alumni. The comparatively new gymnasium (second from top) was the scene of successful dances between the students of B.C. and comely misses of Emmanuel and Regis. The friendship between B.C. and the Catholic girls ' colleges has been traditional and has been perpetuated many times by the ideal marriages of their graduates. We have pictured a scene (third from top) of one of our successful dramatic productions. The word success- ful is not used loosely as glowing accounts from Boston news- papers attest. PROPHECY ... IN THE I wheeled my helicopter to a stop on the roof of the new thirty story Atomic Science Building. A bright, young attendant rushed over to wipe off the steam from my goggles. Everyone is here for the reunion, he said. You ' re just in time. I took a Gothic styled elevator to the ground floor where I was met by DAN LEARY, the eminent spe- cialist from Vienna. He was making it a point to examine scrupulously all his former classmates and was amazed at their vibrant health. 1 hurriedly left this building to find a crowd of fellows gathered around the old Tower Building. Treasury Agents, CHARLIE McKENNA and LOUIS SUL- LIVAN, had a band of counterfeiters cornered in the belfry and were shooting it out. At the foot of the Tower was the famous lawyer, JOHN MARTIN, who was gr ieved at the way prospective clients were endangering their lives. HENRY SANTASUOSSO caused a minor sensation by scaling the wall of the Tower one-handed while carrying his Speed Graflex in the other. This will build circulation, he cried as he snapped photos from all angles. A rumble and roar interrupted the proceedings when ED BURGESS arrived in full regalia atop an enormous tank. His five stars glittering in the sun, he directed the shooting to cease and presently the counter- feiters came down from their roost. I left that crowd and was wandering over to Alumni Field when GUS GILMORE approached with some gilt edge stocks that he thrust at me with an insistent tone, Gilmore ' s Gushing Gushers, buy into the best oil wells in New Zealand now, before it ' s too late. I apologized for having left my wallet in the Copter and departed. Down on the football field TOM BRENNAN, BERNIE LANOUE, and WILLIE DeROSA were lying in a heap. JOHN FUREY and his twelve children were trying to reassemble them. I told you you were too old to scrimmage with the varsity, he said, but they merely groaned. Doctors PHIL KENDRICK and MIKE LYNCH ofiEered their services. Both of them recommended amputations. Out in the center of the field JOHN MOORE was practicing for his senatorial filibuster on Whether Ele- mentary Greek Is Unconstitutional. JOHN DOUGH- ERTY ' looked hurt every time he decried the classics and finally slunk away with his own newly-published translation of Homer. JOE DEE threw away his copy of the Stylus and began to argue with PAUL MARTIN, now president of a sleeping pill concern, over the speech but they soon got off on the subject of the ontologically good, and we left them. In a secluded section of the grandstand BILL MURPHY, JOHN NICHOLSON, and BILL Mc CARTHY, all leading figure s in the newly resurrected Federalist party, were mapping out their strategy for the coming campaign. As a symbol of their former conquests in the Fulton, they carried gavels. A great commotion at the gate drew our attention. The officer in charge wouldn ' t let BOB BRADLEY bring in his locomotive because it didn ' t have a parking sticker. Behind him were JOHN and BILL GRIMES riding serenely on their magic carpets. NICK BUTERA was in charge of the refreshment stand and kept JOHN DeLANG pitching hot pizzas to the starving multitudes. VIN SWEENEY, JOHN MURRAY and CHARLES HANSON were devouring an enormous one and commenting on how BOB SUL- LIVAN ' S coffee differed from the lunchroom Sullivan ' s brand. PETE MAGRAVITA and his Chestnut Hill Billies played For Boston at a mad pace. Pete being his usual masterful self at the piano and GINO MO- LINO on the washboard. Ringing a cowbell in the ensemble was LARRY RUSSELL while LEONARD VALWAY sang the choruses in Spanish. VALWAY ' S booming voice drew many near the bandstand and soon all had joined in encouraged by the strong baritones, ]l l EN RIGHT and FRANK FOLEY. My ears had just become accustomed to the din when JOE GILLIS and DICK BARRY began looking for aging bicuspids to extract. Rather than let the great dentists find their cavities TOM SEETON and JIM McCUE told every- one to keep their mouths shut. The singing ceased and GILLIS ' S action was roundly applauded. The only ones disappointed were the demon salesmen TOM SWEENY and BOB MULVANEY, who were selling ear plugs, but following speeches boosted sales again. DIM DISTANT FUTURE The library steps were the next center of attraction because JACK CREHAN had driven his fire engine up onto the lawn and was blowing the whistle wildly. JOHN OWEN, DICK DALTON and their Boy Scout Troops had become lost down in the stack department. JOHN COADY cried for volunteers who knew their way around the library to go help find them but the alumni drew back in awe. Finally JACK SPELLMAN claiming to have been in the library at least twice before, volun- teered to search. ED MARSHALL, the union man, gave him the miners cap John L. Lewis had sent him, to wear. Switching on the little light, SPELLMAN descended into the depths followed by MOE REUTTER and his camera. The crowd stayed out in front where DICK O ' DAY introduced RUSS NAGLE to the group and Russ invited everyone to go fishing with him up on the Grand Banks. A sensation was caused when JOE BIR- MINGHAM displayed an enormous pet mackerel with Nagle ' s Fisheries stamped on its back. TOM RYAN was standing right behind them and waiting eagerly for them to move on so he could do his famous minstrel show routine. JOE CAUTELA, the great psychiatrist, merely watched the proceedings with deep professional interest. JOE HENNELLY, a taxidermist of no mean sort, stepped up and immediately proceeded to stuff the catch. A ' laster of Ceremonies and guiding light, Dr. JIM WHELTON, then called everyone to the podium to hear the speeches. BILL HENNESSEY started things off with a talk on How to Keep Legal Though a Lawyer. The microphone was removed when it was announced that GEORGE McGRIMLEY, president of the C.I.O., would follow with a booster speech for the Building Fund Drive. Matinee idol, JOHN STOKES, having been rescued from the bobby-soxers, was next to render a dramatic interpretation of JOHN GEARIN ' S new play, The Intrinsic Determinant. BILL KEARNS set up a television transmitter so all could see. BERNIE TIER- NEY asked if everyone would vote for him for School Committee. H e said his campaign manager was PAUL McCarthy, the renowned impersonator, whose tele- gram had just arrived saying he would be late. ED TEDESCO dropped by for a while in the after- noon to display the architect ' s dream house, a project on which he had spent much time. It was a floorless, roofless, wallless building designed for the use of a colony of sun- bathers. At last you ' ve done it, cried JOE MEDINA, you ' ve created a purely functional house, a classic of Modern Art. Tedesco merely bowed. Super-realist ED PALAIMA spoiled everything by saying, But I don ' t see anything there at all. SPELLMAN emerged from the stacks about this point having discovered STAN FOX, FRANK COUGHLAN and F. X. BROWNE who were inadvertently locked in way back in ' 49. Their long beards caused much comment. I stood looking at what had become of the class of ' 49. There were the great businessmen RAN CAMERON, BILL COSGROVE and DICK SAVAGE feverishly exchanging stocks and blondes. CHARLEY BRENNAN was writing down the names of various people to be in- cluded in his weekly column. JL I FITZGERALD, FRANK ROCHE, NICK SCALI and BILL CON- NOLLY were discussing plans for a trip to the Sugar Bowl with the team. They plan to go by motorcj cle. RONNY LEARY was pointing out the qualities of a convertible helicopter to BOB QUIRK and HAROLD CLAUS. RAY CARR, Celtics coach, was proudly in- troducing his son who was fully nine feet tall to ART CIAMPA and RALPH BELMONTE. JOHN YRUEWICZ was saying he ' d manage the A ' s as soon as Connie Mack retired although JOHNNY BROS- NAHAN has been mentioned for the job. CHARLIE McCOY said he was quite content to remain at the helm of the Boston Red Sox. As I was leaving, TOM O ' CONNOR, creator of the comic strip Hazy Mae, handed me the cartoons he had been doing of his classmates. They were once a motley crew, I mused as the elevator sped me back to the roof, but now they are all millionaires, famous men from all walks of life. Truly remarkable are the workings of the Ratio Studiorum. With that I climbed into my copter and sped away as the new Gothic Alice Meynll Literary Tower faded slowly into the mists below. Above is a group of rabid bridge players surrounded by in- terested kibitzers. From such leisurely activities, permanent friendships arc formed — every bit as permanent as those of the resident college. This is a picture of Mai, the renowned college policeman. Actually an identification is unnecessary. It is like taking a by the arm and saying, That ' s the Tower Building. The various informal shots of the social and day to day activities of the class of 1949 have not been made simph as complementary filler, but rather make up an essential part of the whole year book. They stri e to capture in photographic form what it has taken four years of actual college life to accomplish, namely, a certain indescribable sense or feeling of Boston College which transcends the particular. Of course it is absurd to think we could accurately reproduce within a book such an indefinable thing. Yet we hope our aim will be attained indirectly, for you, as seniors, have stored up in your memories the life at Boston College. All that the pictures can hope to do is to recall frcm the past familiar scenes so stored away. Accordintflv will the book ' s value increase with vears. Boston College has been wise in her dealings with her students. She has insisted on high scholastic standing and has encouraged social affairs; striking a perfect balance between the two. Here two of Boston College ' s prominent seniors, Jake Meaney and Bill Flaherty, relax from scholastic cares at a SUB TURRI dance. Their companions are, respectively, Sally Mc- Elroy and Jean Delaney. FOR THE Ml N|MUM COST Perhaps the greatest driving force behind the seniors this year has been the year book activity. The staff has attempted to unify the whole class in one great effort to produce a truly superior SUB TURRI. The book has been widely publicized on the campus and many of the more memorable dances of the season were conducted under its sponsorship. It may be a picture of a group of students participating in a game of hand ball that raises these fond memories; or it may be a shot of a familiar lecture room with your fellow students huddled over their notes; or maybe a snap of Mai directing B.C. motorists in the parking space, a scene familiar to many a graduating class. Vhatever the particular shot, it will contribute its part in recalling to mind your college days. Once out in life the graduate soon realize the value of his education. That is why he takes pride in becoming an active alumnus and that is why he takes joy in looking over pictures taken during the happiest days of his life. Only this volume can tell whether our efforts to pro- duce a book worthy of vour college life have succeeded. The choir has been a new and greatly appreciated addition to B.C. this past year. Those realizing the difficulties in mastering Gregorian Chant have been amazed at the students ' rapid im- provement . Hockey and football have an informal chit-chat. Members of both major sports activities have reason to be proud this past season with a national victory and one over Holy Cross. CLASS POLL ...

ON THINGS TO COME Since its erection in the year 1Q13. thousands of college men have emerged from the shadow of the Tower of Boston College to carry the light of truth into the world. Under its shades these men had learned the principles of successful living as representative Catholic men. Testi- mony leaves no doubt that they have wisely applied and bravely asserted the knowledge which they obtained in a world sorely in distress for need of such truth. But the mission of Boston College as the leading in- stitution of Catholic learning in New England has steadily increased since its inception and the shadow of the Tower has constantly stretched across an ever widening campus to cover the numbers seeking the treasures which she guards. Today more than ever Boston College has become conscious of the significant role which she is called upon to play not merely in the local community but in expanding fields where her influence is ever more clearly manifesting itself. Providently, she is making careful preparations for the future. The dream of the wise and courageous Jesuit fathers who refounded the college upon the Heights is gradually unfolding itself into realization. The planned Boston College Law School Building is but one of the many important things to come, upon which the Tower today casts a portentious shadow. n rrr II li 1 i AW-SCHGDL BUILDINGi O S T O N C O L b E G F.

Many a managing editor once jumped when throaty calls of copy pierced the editorial office din. Promotion from the ranks may be an old story in this country, but it remains one of the great virtues of America ' s industrial philosophy. Practically every director and officer of A P came up through the ranks of the company. Most of them began their careers as store clerks, as office boys or as warehouse workers. The president of A P started work at the age of fifteen as a stock-room boy, filling inkwells in the company warehouse. That copy boys can become managing editors and stock-room boys presidents of great retail organizations is, of course, evidence that there is always room at the top. But more than this, it means that these men know, from personal experience, the details of the various jobs that, geared to each other, determine the success or failure of a newspaper or a chain store. The intimate working knowledge of the retail food business learned from the bottom up by A P executives helps make it possible for this company to do the nation ' s most efficient job of food distribution.
