A N N U A L 1 9 3 6 0 0 During the course of the year several able and interesting speakers have given talks at the seminary. lust to mention them, there were among others Dr. Bruening, Msgr. Belford, Fr. Phelan of the Institute of Medieval Studies at Toronto, and Fr. Theophane Maguire, Editor of THE SIGN. Mr. Shuster, of the COMMONWEAL, has conducted a course in English Literature. He has lectured each week on Wednesday night and Thursday morning. It has been a good year for shows and debates. We have had a House Play, presented under the auspices of the A. A., a fine spirited Christmas Show, a series of one-act plays under the direction of the Speakers' Club, and a good old-fashioned GAUDEAMUS-the offering of Second Philosophy. Of late we have turned to the outdoor sports. W'e can remember, how- ever, a basketball tournament that ended in a tie between Third Theology and Second Theology-an indoor handball tournament won by those two demons of the court, Holzheimer and Greblunas-a pool tournament captured by Balu- towski and Hayden. We remember very well the ping-pong tournament, ably conducted by Mario Silvestri and won by lohn Toole. The baseball field has been weeded, flattened, rolled and manicured. All is in readiness, therefore, for a short but successful season. Such veterans as loe Canning, lim Resch, Ray Spengler, and Vinnie Powell are after the Little Squire of Sport, lim Bulger, to get things going. The ceremonies of Holy Week were as usual very impressive. There was the Tenebrae Service on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday-the triumphal procession on Palm Sunday-the singing of the Passion by three deacons- the reserved joy of the Mass and Procession on Holy Thursday-the Watch before the Repository--the sorrowful ceremonies and Mass of Good Friday- and finally in the ceremonies and Mass of Holy Saturday the anticipation of the victory and glory of the Resurrection. The Deacons have been busy-selecting chalices, picking ordination cards, being fitted for cassocks, arranging for this and for that. They are now making immediate preparations for the day to which their lives have been pointed these many years. They ask your prayerful remembrance. To all at Cathedral, Best Wishes. To the ANNUAL staff, a successful issue. To the Sixth Year Men, we'll be looking for you next fall. And to the calendar, you thought we coul-dn't remember, just for that we'll tear off another month! There! IoHN I. o'coNNoR '31 as

But every thirty days or so weve hacked it, tearing off first one month and then another and another-until now it feebly supports only two trembling pages. These represent what is left of another scholastic year, and soon these, like the rest, will lie crumpled in the Wastebasket. This calendar, just as it stands, is a challenge to the memory. Thus far this year there have been three ordinations, all of them performed by Bishop Kearney. The first took place at the close of the Fall Retreat, the second on Passion Saturday, and the third shortly after Easter. 82

00ggCATHEDBAL coLLEcE North American College Rome, Italy l-IE season of delicate beauty, delightful sunshine, and pleasant mellow breezes waiting gently from the Mediterranean is now with us. PRIMA- VEBA, ltaly's lovely spring, has visited the Eternal City. lt is time when one readily sits back and contemplates the WHY and the WHEREFORE, the HOW and the WHEN of the year that has fled into the dusty crannies of happy memories. 4 This year we are only seven, since no new man came to take the place of Father Dominic Scafcfti who left during the summer. We began our studies last November at the Gregorian University. All had advanced a year, which accounts for one in Second Theology, five in Third Theology, and one in the Deacon class. The glorious Feast of the lmmaculate Conception, which is also the day on which the College was established over seventy-silt years ago, brought to us the elevation ot the Deacon class to the Holy Priesthood. The Order was conferred by the Cardinal Vicar of Rome, Cardinal Marchetti-Sevaggiani. The occasion was brightened by the presence of many of the parents of the ordi- nati. Father Ed Bradley was more than fortunate, for he had his mother and two sisters at his ordination. We are happy to tell you that Ed is completely recovered from his illness of last summer and we know that all his friends in Brooklyn join us in wishing him AD MULTOS ANNOS. Among those ordained on December 8th was Father Frank Glimm, an- other Cathedral alumnus, who lives not far from here at the Collegio Capra- nica. Hevalso was blessed by having his mother and sisters with him on that eventful occasion. The Third Theology Class in Huntington will be glad to know that their colleagues lack Fleming, lack Healy, Tom Coyne, Ken Morgan, and Bill Bart- ley joined the ranks of the Clergy when they received the Tonsure at the Chapel of the Seminary of Saint lohn Lateran. Each ot these gentlemen now sports a bald spot on the top ot his head, since in Rome all clerics must wear the visible sign of their calling. These same worthy gentlemen about three weeks ago, this time in the Basilica of Saint lohn Lateran, received the tirst two Minor Orders of Porter and Lector at the hands of the Vice-Regent of Rome, Archbishop Palica. In a few days they expect to receive the remaining two Minor Orders of Exorcist and Acolyte. Tom Little is the only remaining Brooklynite here, No orders have been conferred on Tom as yet since he is only in Second Theology. He still holds down the position of Sacristan which should keep him busy for another little while. Bight now we are in the middle of Lent and are hard at work Can old Cathedral customl trying to catch up with the profs. A final word of general interest is that Ken Morgan still tips the scales around ninety kili or more Ca kili is two point two poundsl. WILLIAM I. BARTLEY '31 84
