Among other things, this diploma will symbolize in its color scheme and format the characteristics peculiar to Chaminade. A look at the diploma at subsequent intervals will recall the experiences associated with Chami- nade High School. The Crimson and Gold school colors typify most exactly the spirit we have known here at Chaminade. The Crimson is symbolic of the genuine vital forces that operate at this school. ln the same way that physical life is maintained in a body wherein the blood stream flows and operates properly, so is scholastic life nurtured when all elements contribut- ing to its growth are genuine and sound. Scholastic life at Chaminade is genuine and sound. lt emphasizes the soul, the mind, and the body. Religion develops the soul, study trains the mind, and athletics strengthen the body. All three aim to prepare the student to take his place in society, Hence, life is promoted, the Crimson color band indicates this vital growth. On the other hand, these life-giving forces must be di- rected properly. Generosity will enable the student to co- operate with the faculty towards definite achievements. The home, furthermore, will assist both student and faculty to- wards these achievements. The Gold of generosity, therefore, will gradually lead the student to become more efficient, to assume reponsibility, to grow morally, and to exercise tolerance. ln a word, such an individual becomes a leader drawing his inspiration from the Catholic Faith that moti- vates all his actions, from the faculty members who direct him, from parents whom he respects, and from fellowmen who have distinguished themselves. Hence, it is apparent that our life at Chaminade has had a very definite philosophy. lt is as true as it is profound. lt is as real today as it was four years ago when we first dis- covered it. Its undying significance we dedicate under the symbols of the Crimson and Gold. Crimson and Go-ld 4 Y? Q51 . fi A V W: 'L HQ '59 'i 5,5 -ai ,mike 4 wwf?

We met him for the first time at the assembly last November. ln his ad- dress on that occasion, he stressed the importance of culti- vating leadership. He insisted that the world needs leaders who are courageous to uphold true principles in every walk of life. The talk impressed us, though we did not fully un- derstand at the time the reason for his insistence on the topic. A little later we discovered that prior to his appoint- ment as Provincial of the Eastern Province of the Society of Mary he had held many responsible positions as its member. He had been director of the Society's Normal School at Day- ton, Ohio, had been President of Trinity College in Sioux City, Iowa, and President of the University of Dayton, in Dayton, Ohio. We concluded that his remarkable experience with men under many circumstances had shown him the spe- cial need of leadership. Consequently, if the Very Reverend Provincial had not been a leader himself, he would never have exercized these varying positions in his career. The testimony of the Bro- thers themselves whom we questioned showed that our opin- ion was correct. Since we have been so deeply impressed with his spon- taneous insistence on leadership, we have decided to dedi- cate our Crimson and Gold to him and to his ideals. We know that he directs the destinies of all the schools included under his jurisdiction. We recognize that the spirit of the faculty here at Chaminade is the extension of the zeal and enthusi- dsm his inspiration and leadership have enkindled. We feel ,honored in choosing him as the ideal that best expresses the generosity and leadership symbolized by the Gold of our school colors. We dedicate ourselves anew to the spirit that has motivated us while we were here. We shall cherish it as a heritage undying and true.

' ' I f the Eastern Province of the Societ of M 0 0 Q 0 0 Ten Because Chaminade High School is part of the Catholic School System in the Diocese of Brooklyn, it works in har- mony with the scholastic program of the diocese. The spirit of Chaminade is the spirit of the local controlling body. Here again, the leadership of the Most Reverend Bishop Thomas E. Molloy, S.T.D., in the Diocese of Brooklyn has al- ways impressed us. He has championed the spread of truth by building diocesan high schools and by encouraging the erec- tion of private schools. Through his encouragement, Chamin- ade High School opened its activities in Nassau County. Throughout the early stages of its growth, Chaminade has enjoyed the kindly interest of the Bishop of Brooklyn. At the dedication ceremonies, the Most Reverend Bishop partici- pated in person and manifested warm enthusiasm for the new high school in Mineola. Since that day, we have felt that the school we were at- tending had the blessing and approval of the local shepherd of our souls. We followed with interest the many opportuni- ties that were offered for our spiritual improvement because we realized that the religious program had been approved by the hierarchy which controlled the Catholic School System of Brooklyn. Through the pages of the Brooklyn TABLET, we were able to keep informed of the various activities that were go- ing on in other schools. We watched with interest the an- nouncement made by the school board or by the TABLET. Indeed ,we formed the habit of reading the TABLET regular- ly and thus became more alert students of the diocese. We also noted the numerous occasions on which the Most Rev- erend Bishop and his Auxiliary Bishop, the Most'Reverend Raymond A. Kearney, S.T.D., J.C.D., participated in some religious or public demonstration. At all times, they impresed us with their remarkable leadership. As we recall the many impressions of the last four years, we are happy to list the memory of our two spiritual shep- herds. Our lives have been directed under their paternal guidance. May our loyalty and prayer be their recompense. Crimson and Gold acknowledging with respect our local hierarchy Twelve Under the Crimson and Gold colors, our life at Chamin- ade has been divided into three phases: the intellectual, the athletic, and the social phase. All three have been consist- ently dominated by religion, as subsequent analyses of our life will show. First, then, comes the intellectual phase. Under this division are included the factors that aided our mental devel- opment. Hence, the school accommodations proper, the fac- ulty, and the students lboth graduates and underclassmenl. At Chaminade, we followed a curriculum that prepared us for college. There were no frills among the subjects. The choices were from among the following: languages, mathema- tics, history, science, or social studies. Religion and English were compulsory for everyone. Other subjects were selected with the approval of the Principal. Each student carried six subjects per day and was expected to do homework in four of them daily. Such an arrangement shows the seriousness with which the intellectual phase was treated. Obviously, our parents were particularly interested in the progress we made or did not make with books. They found the Parent-Teachers' meeting held each month at the school very helpful and enlightening. We recall the effect these assemblies between faculty and parents had on us, and we begin to see now their necessity. Whatever we studied inthe classroom, we analyzed from the viewpoint of the true, the good, and the beautiful. We gleaned many lessons from the pages of history, from the writings of great authors, and from the ideals of great men. Our Catholic viewpoint was constantly asserting itself in our quest of knowledge and learning. We looked for the purposes affecting the existence of man, animal, and thing. It is cer- tain that we have learned a sense of values, that we recognize rights and duties, and that we respect the relationship bind- ing us to God and to our fellowman. ln the following pages, we shall see how the school, the faculty and fellow classmates have aided us in this intellec- tual development. Crimson and Gold one side of our education-the scholastic phase Y Y Fourteen The school buildings and the athletic facilities offered to us at Chaminade enabled us to develop ourselves freely in the three phases of our education, viz., intellectual, phys- ical, and social. School building, faculty residence, and stadium occupied a five-acre plot on the corner of Jackson Avenue and Emory Road. The school was spacious and orderly. Classrooms were large, airy, and well-lighted, Plenty of blackboard space allowed for chalk drills in many of our subjects. A public- address system operating in each classroom from the office kept us in touch with the wishes of our Principal, The large library on the second floor invited us frequently to reading and reference seeking. Science laboratories supplied ample opportunities to become more intimately acquainted with the principles of chemistry and physics. During lunch periods, a moderrily equipped cafeteria catered to our appetites. In each of these departments our Catholic spirit was recalled by the crucifix that hung from the wall, and to which we di- rected our attention during prayer at the beginning of each important division of the daily time-table. In the convertible auditorium, we assisted at religious exercises, the Mass and Communion of First Friday, the An- nual Retreat at Easter time, and the Father and Son Com- munion and Breakfast in the spring. This same gym-converted auditorium served for our sport activities during the winter, at the same time that it was also our rendezvous during the physical training courses twice a week. Outdoor sports were played in the stadium ad- jacent to the school. A well-equipped locker room provided us with athletic accommodation. Our extra-curricular activities were held either in one of the classrooms or in a small room destined for some special purpose, as the dark room, the print shop, etc. No matter what the demands, we readily received the proper attention. The facilities were near at hand, and the faculty cooperated generously. In the following pages, we review in pictures the setting of our activities.

We believe that no one exemplified these traits betterfthan the faculty. All the Brothers who taught us combined these two factors in the classroom and in the extra-curricular activities they supervised. Frequently have we been impressed with the unselfish manner they labored in helping us with our lessons and in making the difficult por- tions of our studies interesting and clear. Whenever we ap- proached with some problem, they were willing to listen to us and to help us. Often in the course of a lecture or in a conversation outside of the classroom, they would inject ideas for our own improvement. They were alert to correct our personal failings, kindly suggesting recommendations for our own benefit. We were particularly impressed with the friendly atti- tude they manifested. lt was easy to discuss viewpoints with them. Sometimes we felt that we had lived with them longer than the few years we had spent with them. School was very much like home. The mutual respect and friendly sincerity kept us so closely together. ln the course of our relationship with the Brothers, we learned that their founder, Father Chaminade, after whom the school was named, intended that this family spirit exist among the Brothers themselves and manifest itself among those who had dealings with the Brothers. We believe that the faculty achieved this aim remarkably well. Their devotion in the classroom and their whole-hearted co-operation made us feel the genuiness of their sacrificial calling. Dedicating themselves to the education of young manhood, they did everything in their power to make the youthful character blossom into a purposeful individual fully aware of the responsibility he owes to his God, to his neigh- bor, and to himself. ln consequence, we have learned that life has a meaning, that there is zest in living, that we too must exert a good influence upon others. The leadership of the Brothers will inspire us to attain this mission. Crimson and Gold PQQGQAM 22 STUDIES .tk--,Y-,.,--4.

Thomas Powers, S. M., Principal two Our Principal, Bro. Thomas Powers, S.M., was the guiding force in our formation. Through his efforts the faculty was able to function as a unit in making our education interest- ing and effective. As Freshmen, we imagined our Principal a- part from the other Brothers. We thought it would be diffi- cult to discuss problems with him. However, as we progressed and were forced to seek his counsel in our various undertak- ings, we found him exceedingly kind and sympathetic. When we had become Seniors, we almost formed a habit of seeking his advice and encouragement, Bro. Thomas, we thank you for your deep interest in our welfare. We are grateful for the splendid faculty that assisted you and inspired our learning. Crimson and Gold Bro. Louis Faerber, S.M,, Vice Principal As chaplain at Chaminade, Father Edwin Weber, S.M., provided us with all the oppor- tunities of exercising our religious obligations. He heard confessions, celebrated Mass every First Friday, directed the exercises of the An- nual Retreat, and guided the activities of the Sodalities. Whenever spiritual direction was solicited, he gave us his priestly advice. In the classroom, his experience with French from studies abroad supplied us with a native ap- proach to the subject. We are thankful for his zealous contribution to our religious training. Twenty three Bro Louis Faerber SM our Vice Prin cipal came in closer contact with us as direc tor of discipline and teacher of American history We sensed the wide experience in his informal talks during his lectures lt was very easy to confide in him whenever difficulties beset us With Bro Thomas, our Principal, he was intimately concerned with our welfare Although we shall be obliged to sever our association with him, his kind sollcitude will elicit grateful recollections whenever we think of him Rev Edwin Weber, SM, Chaplain . I . .I I - Crimson and Gold Bro. Louis Brendel, S. M. Every student became easily acquainted with Bro. Louis, who besides being buyer for the institution was also in con- trol of the cafeteria service. We saw him around frequently adjusting the routines incidental to his responsibilities. Some of us came under his direct supervision because we helped with the service in the cafeteria. We always had our work assigned. Students had their needs quickly satis- fied at the candy counter, the ice cream window, etc. Bro. Louis impressed us as being very conscientious in his work. Whether we remained a few hours after dismissal or whether we called at the school on off-days for one thing or another, we frequently met him busy with some occupation in the school. Because of the many details demanded by his position, he did not teach in the classroom. However, he influenced our life during the four years we spent at Chaminade. The familiar figure of our noon recess periods will linger with us. Bro. Lawrence Eveslage, S. M. Our teacher in mathematics and phy- sics impressed us with his towering personality. He was tallest among the faculty, and whenever he would lean over the lecture table l and he did this quite oftenl , he really brought knowledge down to us. Under his masterly touch, the experiments that lay on the lecture table usually reacted to the theoretical principles we had read about in the textbook. In fact, we had seen Bro. Lawrence work so frequently and persistently in the lab after school, that the instruments just had to respond to his familiar touch. As director of the Radio Club, he aided the wireless technicians in ex- panding their field of activity. Under his management, the 300-Watt transmitter was completed, and instruction in the Morse Code stabilized. Though the number of radio operators was small, Bro. Lawrence directed them on many occasions to be of service in setting up address systems in the school. His efforts catered to our scientific wants and desires. Mr. John Farnon. When the band strikes up a tune or when it files out for parade maneuvers, we know that Mr. Farnan, their director, spent many patient hours instructing the boys. We have watched the players go through their group rehearsals on the top floor What infinite patience Mr. Farnan showed until the desired musical effect was produced! The en- tire band was at attention. They watched him carefully and repeated pas- sages until he was satisfied. As a result, the youthful musicians performed brilliantly at assemblies, during football games, or at a formal concert. The fine achievement of Mr. Farnan was demonstrated lost summer when the Chaminade band won first prize in a competition with other Catho- lic high school bands of the vicinity. Band members esteemed their lead- er because he was so thorough in his methods and so reasonable in his demands. Similarly, the student body appreciated his contribution because all of us looked with pride upon the snappy Flyer band. Bro. Frank Fallen, S. M. Coming from Hamilton last February, Bro. Frank is best known to the Freshmen. He has been the titular teacher of the new class that entered last February. It seems that the boys have taken well to their teacher, because they were the first to come out on top with a lOOfM, in the subscription drive of the Crimson and Gold. He told us himself that he was well impressed with Chaminade and that he found the months pass more quickly here than at Hamilton, Ohio, where he had been teaching prior to his assignment here at Chaminade. He felt that the numerous activities were responsible for this difference. We know that Bro. Frank will like the spirit of the Flyers after he becomes a little more acquainted. By the time the Freshmen of his department are ready to publish their yearbook, they will be able to convey a more com- plete picture of their leader than are we who have known him for such a very short time. Mr. Frank Gagliano. Our new coach has just finished his first com- plete season with the Chaminade Flyers. Athletes agree that he was a real sport, that he was serious in his tactics, and considerate of the phy- sical condition of players. He stressed the importance of fitness for the athlete. ln this he included both spiritual and physical preparedness. From the few things we have heard about him from those who know him closely, our coach could not be otherwise minded. That is port of his own conviction. We liked him for his candor and selflessness. He was very willing to help us. He took a personal interest in activities con- ducted by the school. During the noon recess, we were able to speak to him freely and discuss the possibilities of the sports then in season. Under his expert handling the basketball teams created new enthusiasm amon I Q Flyer fans. The season just completed was the best in the history of Chaminade. Bro. Joseph Gaudet, S. M. As professor of religion,- ancient history, English, and economics, Bro. Joseph took a deep interest in teaching his students. ln history, he referred to numerous illustrations to make the subject more attractive. He favored supplementary reading and stressed the perusal of current magazines in search of data to bind ancient his- tory with the archeological discoveries of the present. In addition to his classroom duties, he guided the destinies of the Airplane Club. He equipped the balcony workshop for his modellers and encouraged the boys to make their own blue prints. Futhermore, he was busy at work trying to develop a steam turbine to propel the larger models turned out in the shop. This seems to have been the beginning of motor appliances on the models. Bro. Joseph expects to make this phase an added feature of the club for the future. We know that his enthusiasm and the cooperation of his diligent band will register new triumphs in airplane making. Crimson and Gold Twenty-five Crimson and Gold Bro. Alfred Grisez, S.M. Chemistry was a specialty with Bro. Alfred. We liked the numerous chemical reactions that attended his daily lec- tures. Although we did find the balancing of equations a bit trying in the beginning, we soon mastered the difficulty in the numerous drills that were assigned us either as busy work in the course or homework after school hours. As director of athletics, Bro. Alfred was the center of interest as far as athletes were concerned. We were impressed with the careful attention he paid to schedules, athletic equipment, and the weekly sport bulletins that kept us informed about the Flyer engagements for the days that were just ahead. Athletes received sympathetic encouragement in time of difficulty. Bro. Alfred consistently upheld the policies of the athletic coach, Mr. Frank Gagliano. With Bro. Richard, who acted as super- visor of sports, the athletic board gave the Flyers an interesting and diversi- fied sport program. Bro. Frank Hoegler, S. M. Though Bro. Frank has been with us only the latter half of our high school career, he manifested his particular in- terest in our welfare on several occasions. lt was his co-operation that enabled some of the more gifted artists among us to prepare those large posters for the pep rallies during the football season. ln addition to this, he also controlled the activity of the Stamp Club. These philatelists a- roused curiosity among the students by the stamp exhibit in the cafeteria a few months ago. As teacher among the Sophomores and Juniors, he devoted his time to German. The numerous stories of the German text re- ceived special attention during class time. Bro. Frank believed that use of the language made acquirement of the language easier. The other subject of his daily program was religion. Combing his own convictions with the fundamentals stressed by the course itself, he inspired the stu- dents to noble and purposeful living. Bro. Herman Keck, S.M. If any of us ever doubted that Latin could be mastered, the drive and prolonged drill of Bro. Herman's teaching soon had us learning vocabulary, mastering inflections, and even translating Caesar's campaigns. Some of us were unfortunate in closing the day with a Latin course. Invariably, Bro. Herman would single out the weak ones for special treatment-a gesture that many of us did not appreciate un- til later. But Bro. Herman had other things besides the Latin and English on his timetable. He coached track, handled the business phase of the Crimson and Gold, and directed the check-rooms whenever there was a social event at the school. As track coach, he turned out winning com- binations consistently. His performers featured in the sprint department of the sport. Flyer relay teams have a reputation for their ability, the quar- tet having won the trophy in the event for three consecutive years. We liked Bro. Herman and his devotedness to his tasks. Bro. Joseph Kuntz, S. M. We have always associated Bro. Joseph with the remarkable achievement of the Bio Club in the annual exhibit spon- sored by the American Institute. Each year the project submitted by club members won recognition for its ability. Their mechanical man received two first prizes last March at the exhibit held at the Museum of Natural History. And throughout the year, this little group worked painstakingly in making the biology department a very active unit at Chaminade. His skill with the camera and in the dark room aided the Camera Club in making their hobby more efficient. In teaching civics, he was able to core- late biological aspects of life with social problems. By using the Scholastic weekly, he further applied these principles to present day topics. ln his numerous dealings with the underclassmen, he emphasized the need of definite achievement. We appreciated the desire he gave us to make our work fruitful. Bro. Adrian McCarthy, S. M. His favorite subject was English. Most of us had him in our Sophomore year. In interpreting poetry, he had a peculiar technique in making the involved passages seem meaningful and clear. For the more difficult selections, he would mimeograph paraphrase copies to help us grasp their meaning. Under his direction, we also culti- vated a liking for literature in general. He pointed out examples of master-pieces for our reading and showed how to evaluate them. As adviser of the Tarmac, he supplemented his work in the classroom with journalism in the composing room. Members of the newspaper staff continued to ap- ply the principles of composition they had learned in the classroom. In his habitually quiet way, Bro. Adrian supervised the writing and revision of articles. The Tarmac was popular with students. Readers were ac- quainted with the activities going on in the school. And they knew that Bro. Adrian was the guiding spirit behind the scenes. Bro. George McKenzie, S. M. Because of Bro. George, many of us found our study of French more congenial. To whet our interest, he pub- lished a mystery story in daily installments. By searching for the plot of the story, we overlooked the drudgery usually associated with tasks and home work. While interpreting the readings from scripture in the religion course, Bro. George paused frequently to analyze a situation. He liked to evaluate moral standards and show how their application at the present day ties up with the past. After class hours, he took particular inter- est in our problems. We found it so easy to converse with him on any subject. Up in the library where he helped out after dismissal, he was kindly and obliging. That seemed to be his particular trait, to help the student and to make his work more appealing. Though Bro. George was by contrast the smallest member of the faculty, he exercised a great influence over us. Crimson and Gold Twenty-seven Crimson and Gold Bro. Joseph Mervor, S. M. Board-work and mathematics lmostly al- gebra and the two geometriesl were combinations we associated with Bro. Joseph. He believed in making us see things for ourselves. Half of the period we spent in spotting mistakes and learning theory, the other half we devoted to figures either at our desk or at the front-blackboard. If some of us found the going difficult, we received the added momentum after school at his desk in the music department. For some of us this was a two-fold advantage, because in addition to the help we were get- ting, the music of the band practicing across the hallway was ours for the asking. Since Bro. Joseph was music supervisor, we could enjoy both. As music supervisor, our math teacher collaborated. with Mr. Far- nan, the director of the band, in making the band an indispensable fac- tor of Chaminade activities. The boys displayed their talent admirably, fulfilling the wishes of their supervisor and their director. Bro. Richard Moenich, S.M. Without Bro. Richard, the Freshman foot- ball and basketball teams would be without a coach. He assumed the task of grounding these fledglings in the fundamentals that would eventually prepare the youthful athletes for Varsity competition. Because Bro. Richard was himself an athlete, it was easy for him to teach the aspirants who reported to him for practice. His basketball team was especially success- ful. On the other hand, the majority of these lads knew him also as their teacher in mathematics. In this respect, he followed the tactics of a coach. Going from desk to desk, he would show each student the diffi- culties of unknown quantities, equations, and the evasive word problems. But his greatest service came as athletic supervisor. ln the locker room, he was busy at work checking on the details of equipment. Each athlete was assigned definite lockers and reportea regularly to the managers. Bro. Richard took good care of us athletically. Bro. John Nichol, S. M. Everyone of us knew Bro. John at the station- ery store. Before class in the morning, we went to him and bought our supply of pads, pencils, review books, etc. He was very willing to serve us. In the classroom, we enioyed his spirited German courses. He could reel off German to the delight of a dyed-in-the-wool dutchman. Frequent- ly, he would intersperse bits of humor between his questions and repeat- ed phrases. From an inside source, we gathered that he was a skilled penman and artist. Anyone who has seen his graduate group pictures in the office, will agree that his work is above the ordinary. But his de- lightful sense of humor will always put him apart from the rest of the faculty. Perhaps his long experience in the classroom lBro. John has de- voted more than forty-eight years to teaching boysl has accountedlfor this genial trait. Certain it is that he likes boys and that his boys have liked him. Bro. John Perko, S.M. Third year students have become familiar with the mimeograph syntax Bro. John imposes on his classes from year to year. He stressed knowledge of Latin fundamentals, and his own arrange- ment of the syntax program enabled his charges to master this require- ment of the language. The Seniors have also known him in connection with their English course. His variety in assigning topics for public speak- ing helped us overcome the self-consciousness felt by beginners. As a personal preference, he liked religion. ln his little talks with Seniors he insisted upon the importance of making religion a natural factor in our lives. His other activities embraced care of the library and super- vision of the Crimson and Gold. In both he received a willing co-opera- tion from his student assistants. Through his efforts as adviser of the yearbook, we have been able to perpetuate the memory of the self-sacri- ficing Brothers at Chaminade. Bro. Joseph Quick, S. M. Although Bro. Joseph did 'not teach in the classroom, no student could help meeting him at the treasurer's desk in the office. He was a familiar Brother when bills needed adjustment or more commutation tickets had to be bought. We went to him for our vari- ous favors and had our little points of business taken care of immedi- ately. There were other responsibilities upon Bro. Joseph's shoulders besides the task already mentioned. He took care of the mailing for the school. Report cards, announcements, and bulletins were sent to our par- ents by Bro. Joseph. Then, too, there were many other reports incidental to school management that had to be issued periodically. The treasurer was responsible for many of these. Whenever we went to Bro. Joseph, we did not think he had so many things to tend to. But we learned from some of the Brothers the wide extent of his work. ln his own quiet way, he has been a necessary factor in the managment of the school. Bro. John Sfrickroth, S.M. Many of us tound history, medieval and modern, simplified because of the diligence of Bro. John who gave us his own outlines from day to day. History was a natural subject with him. He could quote instances from the past for the length of the period. On the other hand, his personality also helped us master our studies. He called us by our first names, and that made for an acquaintance we greatly ap- preciated. By coaching the nimrods of the Rifle Club, he further in- creased the number of his admirers. His enthusiasm and novel suggestions put the club on its own resources financially. It purchased its own equip- ment and built its own range. Through the many friends that Bro. John could depend on in an emergency, the nimrods readily solved the problem of transportation for matches away from school. In such a manner did Bro. John labor among the boys who respected him for the interest he showed and for the encouragement he habitually gave them. Crimson and Gold Twenty-nine Thirty The Senior Graduate more than anyone else understands the impression a good school has made upon him. He is tak- ing with him the accumulation of influences which have transformed him into a better individual. He senses the re- sponsibility with which he must discharge his obligations as a Catholic, a citizen, and a member of a household. As he looks upon the past, he realizes that a very de- finite philosophy has guided him. The Crimson symbolized that life is real, that life is earnest. The Gold emphasized the need of generous application and determined leadership. He has lived through all this and gathered definite principles for himself. His high school life is now ended and the world opens before him. Not all of us will take our places in the world in the same way. Some of us may follow the usual procedure of con- tinuing our education at some college or university, a Cath- olic secondary school if possible. There we will complete the training begun here at Chaminade. On the other hand, a few of us will be obliged to get positions immediately and complete our schooling with evening courses of one kind or another. Yet, each will be aiming at some profession, or at some vocation as a goal. Other graduates before us have been faced with similar problems of adjustment. Many of them have succeeded brilliantly, bringing further credit to the school. Their tri- umph encourages us to make the step forward. We feel sure that a way will open before us, and that, whatever happens, we shall always be inspired in our problems by the ideals we have learned while attending Chaminade. For the moment, we cannot overlook the pleasant compan- ions we have known during our high school days. ln order to perpetuate the comradeship so evident among us, we have at- tempted to recapture each character in the short biography attached to each photo. Whenever we review the list of these graduates and recall the personalities of l939, we shall say a prayer for each other that each may have the good fortune to abide by the lessons we have learned. Crimson and Gold rw' portraying the two groups of senior personalities Thirty-two Seniors Graduating June 1939 William C. Johnson. The Flyers had a real football captain when Bill took over the leadership on the gridiron last autumn. Besides inspiring his team mates to keep fighting every inch of the way, he was able to stand up at football rallies and ex- press himself. His great work as half-back merited for him a position on the Long Island All-Scholastic Eleven picked by the Long Island Press at the end of the season. Bill took as much interest in his homework and bookwork as he did in athletics. A deep, sonorous chatter was evidence that Bill was around somewhere. He always had an audience. Somebody was listening somewhere and Bill was leading as usual.

William F. Walsh, Jr. 'Smart Money' as he is familiarly called, was one of Coach Gagliano's star guards on the Varsity eleven. When Bill went out for Fresh- man football, he suffered a broken leg, but as soon as doctors had given permission to play, he was out again making up for lost time. But coming to the personal side of Bill, we noted that, although he moved quite freely in social circles, he took out the allotted time for study. He did not have to over-exert himself to make the grades5 his subjects came with a minimum of effort. As one of the leaders of the class, he favored mathematics and showed his proficiency with figures on the many business committees he served. Because of his ways, the boys had a soft spot for Mineola, BilI's hometown!

Arthur E. Sauvigne. Here is another accomplished scholar among the grad- uates. His name has decorated the Honor Roll for the four years of his stay at Chaminade. Being somewhat modest and unassuming, he seemed to give the im- pression of hiding his talent. However, his activities were always numerous and his devotion to responsibility unaltered. He accepted additional assignments even when it meant plenty of extra work. Yet despite his attraction toward mental ac- tivities, he was a regular sport in basketball. He is a very good example of 'a sound mind in a sound body.' His gentlemanly ways and pleasant compartment attracted him to his classmates. He was their class officer during the last two years.

William F. Miller, Jr. The wide, open spaces of Sea Cliff prepared Bill excellently for his fine work in football and basketball. Signal barker on the Varsity eleven, he was unerring in picking flaw after flaw in the enemy defense. As captain of the basketball team, he steadied the team on more than one victorious occasion. Al- though he took an active interest in sports, Bill maintained a careful vigilance over his school books. His record speaks for itself. Though a quiet fellow and tending a little toward the studious type, he collaborated an many 'special' interests. The long string of achievements after his name in this Crimson and Gold will demand a lot of effort from his two Freshman brothers to duplicate.

Hubert Beudert. The 'Fruitman' was as generous of soul as he was ample of body. Anyone could depend on him for a lift either financially or sympathetically. Though endowed by nature with an easy-going disposition, once aroused he goes into action until he either wins or drops of exhaustion. The football team will affirm the truth of this statement. He heaved a wicked toss with the shot-put, taking over the responsibility in this field event after McDonald had graduated. This same wielder of lead was quite tame with his books. Sometimes he gave teach- ers the impression that he was dreaming. In reality it was the concentration that perplexed them. He generally came out with the correct answer when called upon. The 'Fruitman' will linger on, though many will never know how that name came to be a part of him, Activities: Varsity Football 4, Varsity Track 3, 4, Intramural Basketball I, 2, Inter-Class Track I, 2. Hugh P. Biddick. Here is a gentleman who seems to come from the President's own territory-New Hyde Park. The only difference is that Hugh's home town is located on Long Island. It may be that Hyde Park is responsible for the expert ability this young man has shown on the Basketball court. His skill at the foul Iine won him a trophy in the Knights of Columbus contest this year. In baseball, his fielding sense has erased more than one hit off the opponent's records. He did cover that ground in left field remarkably well, and wielded a pretty wicked club when it came his turn to bat. Though inclined toward reticence, Hugh was a real worker at his books, specializing in a persevering search for the right answer. We expect him to carry on with the same determination in future.

With the gift of chatter Jack possesses, he should make a very good salesman. Whenever he was absent from school, a peculiar silence was notice- able. At rallies and athletic events, his yells dominated the uproar. After it was all over, Jack usually went home hoarse from cheering. His loyalty was remarked by strangers and faculty alike. He seems to be working toward engineering. In con- sequence, he tried to emphasize math as much as possible. Civil engineering would be perhaps his best bet. ln it he will be able to use his lingo to real advantage. Of course, there's no thought of suggesting a future for him, because everyone feels that whatever Jack chooses, he will be able to talk himself to the top without trouble.

John J. Breen. Whenever Jack was not busy with puns, he was invariably dis- covered reading a book. He must have averaged six books a fortnight. And yet he did not show any special inclination towards writing. Reading must have been its own excuse with Jack. His other cherished activity consisted of calculations in mathe- matics. He found one branch of this science as captivating as the other. Not so with history and languages. These were climaxed by an exam as the only solution that could be made. The rifle gallery was the sole extra-curricular event on the calendar. With his classmates, he carried on the usual conversation in a quiet, unassuming way. As soon as the bell rang, he would be down to his novel again before the others had time enough to recollect themselves that study was again in progress.

Crimson and Gold 'wi I Thirty-three Thirty-four I 'is 'QL 7-'P ,G 'S' 4' .4 Crimson and Gold Thomas J. Cowley. Stamped with a nickname that would class him with the war-like nature of Barbarossa, 'Red' dominated the class through his intellectual superiority. Keen, clever, and analytic, he did more with his l2O pounds of energy than half-a-dozen others could do together. He made himself felt in about a dozen extra-curricular phases. He was untiring in meeting his obligations with all groups. We often wondered how he did it all and yet maintain an honor average scholasic- ally. But the records show everything in his favor, and his pals are more numerous in consequence. We are looking forward to his achievement in college. We know he will continue to lead.

George E. Coughlin. As he appears today, 'Butch' already reminds one of Stokowski. That's his ambition, to become a musician and eventually a leader of a great symphony. This is no idle dream. 'Butch' has been reading much about musi- cians and music. He travelled to the Metropolitan Opera House frequently and has the distinction of having seen and heard world-famous artists perform. To this end he preferred English because through reading he has acquired a familiarity of the post and present in music. He was inclined to be introactive, perhaps because of the composer's inclination he may already be nurturing. Outside of his musical tendency, there was little anyone knew of George. Some day he may express himself more completely in music. Until that day, we wish him success in the music that is calling him. Don't forget the band when the great day comes, George' Activities: Sod- ality l, 2, Tarmac Staff 2. George H. Cridlond. This 'twirling maestro' paraded majestically up and down the field leading the band through many intricate maneuvers between the halves of the home pigskin classic. When George was not entertaining with the baton, he took his place as an accomplished trumpeter with the band. This was only one of his achievements, he ran a fast 440 on the cinder path as well, and was one of the four speed demons of the undefeated half-mile relay quartet. The same success marked his progress with books. The outdoors attracted him into the classroom even, so that he expects to do his life-work in air-conditioning. By the time he perfects a new contraption in this field, Chaminade may be ready to take his invention within its own walls.

Crook, Jr. Harry was hard to find behind the big drum he carried in the band parade. ln the beginning of his musical career, he had difficulty measuring the beats properly. The timing instinct developed with his practice at the rifle range. He became effective at both with little effort. Harry's salesmanship was by far superior to anything else he did for Chaminade. While soliciting ads for the i939 Crimson and Gold, he collected a bigger commission than the closest competitor. ln his scholastic acquirements, Harry was especially 'hot' in lab exercises. He was more at home with chemical and physical apparatuses than the average budding scientist. With Blatz, he tried to start a chess club at the school, but none of the admirers cared for such a waiting game. Activities: Band l, 2, 3, 4, Sodality Z, Service Club 3, Tormac Staff l, 2, Bio Club l, 2, 3, 4, Annual Staff. Frank A. Dunne. Frank had very definite interest in good old Morpheus. No matter what the position, what the circumstances, or what the hour of the day, he could doze away so calmly and contentedly. Once aroused, he could get into action equally as well. Such moments came toward the exam periods. Then Frank would work and scribble away for dear life to make the grade. Two activities altered the passive tenor of his existence, namely, the band and the Rifle Club. The mellophone diverted him musically in the band and target practice kept him busy whenever there was no practice on the instrument. He was quite proficient with the rifle, his scores winning a match on several occasions. The fact, that he was among the select riflemen for four years might have accounted for this. So passes another friend we have known from the haunts of Mineola. Activities: Band I, 2, 3, 4, Sodality 2, 3, Bio Club l, Rifle Team l, 2, 3, 4. Thomas A. Fitzpatrick. Tommy liked to be doing things. Restlessness was well-nigh a virtue with him. For that reason, the iob of collecting snap-shots for the Annual came as real blessing for his pent-up energy. He was literally hopping along to meet the many students who came with questions and photographs. In this respect he did his task well. He did not consider it an inconvenience to remain regularly after school to do his collecting. Tommy became very popular with his fellow classmates. He reacted very readily to any opinion expressed. The debates would go on for the length of the noon recess and continue after 2:15. Some times there was no conclusion. The next day some other problems would be suggested. In every way, Tom was a real fellow. Some of us will miss him a lot. Activities: Band l, 2, Sodality I, Service Club 2, Intramural Basketball 2, 3, Annual Staff, Intramural Track. J. Donald Gorman. 'Nifty' fairly effervesces with joviality and foolishness. He kept the social lads informed about the social doings near Springfield Gardens and Rockville Centre, although invariably he would exaggerate his bits of news. Science was the most natural thing with 'Nifty' in the classroom, though occasion- ally he came with a principle that was startling to the professor himself. On the whole, he was able to cope successfully with any problems that arose, notably the Regents exams at the end of each semester! After school he busied himself with managerial work during the autumn and track practice in spring. His half- mile runs will remain as records on the Chaminade track for seasons to come, having been undefeated in Varsity competition last year.

Coming from St. Catherine of Siena's School where bands are a speciality, John continued his clarinet playing with the Chaminade band. All the music necessary for rehearsals or for practice was controlled by Jack, librarian for the band. He made himself responsible at all times and helped retrieve forgotten instruments or misplaced reeds after practice was over. His constant application to some book or assignment frequently gave the impression that Jack was bashful or even shy. Nothing was farther from the truth, since he had to work hard to score a fair measure of success. It was impressive to watch him plodding away day after day. Jack will not have to worry about a successful future. His habit of persevering at a task will be a crowning achievement to more than one of his undertakings.

Johnson. Joe thought so much of his friends who were attending Chaminade that he registered as a Junior. Debating was his strong point, but not finding a team at the Mineola school, he tried his fortune at football. lt was too late for him to expect any recognition in that sport. He contented himself by playing basketball on the class team, realizing that he did not possess the qualifi- cations for anything higher. He had to battle painstakingly with his class subjects. So much of his effort seemed to go for nought. However, he did manage to fit his subjects to the passing point. Aware of his characteristics, he does not intend to go to college. By trying out his ability at some occupation, he expects to discover his propensities first, and then work himself up in night school. The program is very practical, Joe, and we wish you a lat of success. Frank L. Kunkel. Here is one graduate who has hitched his wagon to a star and is all set to conquer the world. Frank has decided on a journalistic career. His deep attachment to English and his experience on the Tarmac staff for the past three years were arguments that determined his choice. Most probably he will direct his energy into the sport department. For many years now he has observed the sport world and tabulated a lot of data for himself. Though he will not use much of this himself, he did get a lot of information that will serve as a good background. The collector's habit is generally one of silentlobservation and care- ful analysis-traits that Frank showed at his books. He should not find trouble at his job. His thoroughness and conscientiousness will always serve him in good stead. Give the Flyers a break in your columns, Frank! Activities: Sodality l, 2, Tormac Staff 2, 3, 4 iSports Editorl, Annual Staff. William Leonard. Bill ranked among the better known pals from St. Albans. Together with 'Don' Gorman, he furnished many witty and clever remarks that made life at school more enjoyable. Hardly anyone was able to become riled at him because of the 'digs' he would let fly. His bubbling personality lightened the uprising as soon as danger seemed imminent. Despite his liking for social evenings, he believed in doing his work in school. Sometimes his beliefs worked a little spasmodically, but momentum for stirring up interests him a great deal, the future will tell. We ever he does. Activities: the faculty always came to his rescue with a little added the process of will.

Not particularly talented for book work, he struggled heroically to bring home creditable marks at the end of each term. His rugged mastery of mathematics may bring his dream in engineering to fruition. His work in football togs was as determined as his efforts elsewhere. As linesman on the Varsity he rarely yielded ground and consistently spilled the op- posing ball carriers for losses. The Bio Club capitalized on his ability with the hammer and saw. Cabinets and wood-carvings that he made assisted the club in winning prizes in biologic exhibits. He remained with the club four years.

Andrew J. McDermott, Jr. 'Andy' has been known for his subtle sense of humor. Combining it with a careful admixture of discretion, he divided his at- tention creditably between humorous and serious moments. No one in the class read as much as he. Classics were foremost among his choice. Whenever he had a few moments to himself, he would get out his Tennyson, or Thackeray, etc. The results showed up in his compositions that could best be enjoyed when he read them aloud. Reading by a second person was out of the question, only 'Andy' could decipher the small letters that formed his script. Although he played only at football in athletics, he lingered with the squad as utility lineman, his sense of humor helping other performers forget their shocks and bruises. Activities: Sodality l, 2, Freshman Football, Varsity Football 3, 4, Rifle Team 2, Intramural Basketball l, 2, 3, Inter-Class Track l, 2, Ring Committee 4. John J. McGrath. 'Tuffy' McGrath was well-known to everyone at Chaminade since he was among the best basketball and baseball performers turned out by the school. With 'Chuck' Dolan, he paced the scorers for the i939 season. Batting well over .300 in baseball, 'Tuffy' was the star shortstop of the Flyer nine. He steadily maintained that he was merely lucky, he did not act as though he were really gifted athletically. If he lives up to his early promise in sports, he should hit the highlights in either of his favorite games soon. But that does not bother him. He worked quietly at his books and rather studiously at English because he liked reading and could express himself clearly. No particular author claimed him. He liked reading for its own sake. Activities: Sodality l, Varsity Baseball 2, 3, 4, Jayvee Baseball l, Varsity Basketball 4, Intramural Basketball 4, Freshman Basketball. Matthew T. Murray. Only a few people have the gift of selling anything and everything to the public. Matt was a good example of the super-salesman. He led all drives lads, chances, tickets, etc.l with the loyality that is char- acteristic of the real Chaminade student. He could possibly even sell refrigerators to the Eskimos or snowshoes to the Ethiopians. 'Very popular and quick-witted, he was in the thick of it when hilarity reigned. This'osset was perhaps responsible for his naturalness in public speaking. A fine friend of the Brothers, we hope that life will be as pleasant for him as it has been for those with whom he has spent his high school days.

James E. O'Hara. Marksman par excellence and humorist without a peer, Jim was the crony of the entire gang. The day did not start right without his cheery roll of 'Greetings, Gates.' Despite his otherwise sombre moods and reserved manner, he never shirked his share of responsibility. He felt that he was a member of the family, so to speak, and helped wherever he could. As a beginner in high school he was almost obsessed with a worry complex which finally left him after he had seen others less endowed than he progressing with their studies. As already men- tioned, his best contribution lay with the riflemen. He was a veteran among the nimrods, remembering when the range in Lucas' basement moved to a recreation center in Mineola and finally stopped in the school's own basement. The nimrods will remember his contribution. Activities: Sodality l, Rifle Club 2, 3, Intramural Basketball l, 2, Library Staff l, Inter-Class Track l. Crimson and Gold Thirty-seven Thirty-eight fC 'B' Crimson and Gold Stanley P. Premo. Stanley made a big mistake by waiting until his last year before joining the Varsity on the gridiron. As a Freshman, he made the team with- out much effort, and everyone expected him to turn into a regular the following year. Perhaps the size of the Varsity teams in those years repelled him. At any ruie, ite wuiled uiiiii l0Si CJLJTL-Uxlllll iu put iii iiis bid. During CiCiS5 i'iOLil'5 Stair: WOi'ii6d painstakingly at his tasks. He made the grades readily. There was no particular favorite among the books. He took what the schedule demanded. ln spring, he worked behind shin-guards and chest-protector as catcher in baseball. Picking men off first base and beating runners to the bag at any of the bases was his forte. And does he like the Dodgers! Just mention Lieber, Hubbel, or Terry in his presence! Activities: Sodality l, 2, Freshman Football, Varsity Baseball 3, 4, Varsity Foot- ball 4, Intramural Basketball l, 2, 3. George J. Rotzmann. Murray and Premo were George's pet collaborators. He spent most of his school fests with this duet. However, he never fell for the after-school interests of either of them. George went home regularly after dis- missal. For a time, there seemed to be a secret about this sudden departure, but it was finally surmised that he was busy about something. Even today, no one is definitely sure of the explanation. However, it has been noticed that his danc- ing steps have taken on new ginger and form. Could this be the explanation? Whatever it is, George participated in the good will of the crowd, Though he was inclined to be retlcent by nature, he generally kept himself occupied with his assignments. This last trait should enable him to make the mark in the world at large. May we get to see more of him in future! Activities: Sodality I, 2, Radio Club 2. Robert E. Ritter. There were few Seniors who showed as much initiative and interest as did Bob. He was always willing to help. Though he did not attach himself to any particular club iCamera Club exceptedl , his numerous 'lifts' to those around him established him as something of a necessity everywhere. Since he ar- rived at school a little earlier than others, he had numerous opportunities to do little jobs before class. Sometimes it was the faculty, sometimes it was someone in an activity needing a little assistance. ln this particular role, Bob seemed most satisfied. As a member of the Camera Club, he was constantly an the go. He took pictures, developed them, and arranged schedules for 'takes' among the fellows. Handy Bob was a very familiar figure. The only question now confront- ing his patrons is, whether he has left a successor! September will tell. Activities: Camera Club 4. John J. Rogan. Ordinarily silent and reserved, Jack delighted to comment upon any topic of conversation. 'Boss' showed his talent in dramatics. As chief chimneysweep in the Sodality play two years ago, he conveyed the impression of these European urchins very strikingly to our attention. He did not worry very much about bringing books home for evening study. The early morning preparation that began at about 8 o'clock in the library sufficed. With all that, he kept to the Honor Roll regularly. Ted Williams and he argued often about ether conductivity, radio waves, and gamma rays. Both had the calculating ways of scientists. 'Boss' is evidently destined for some top-notch career. His diversity of interest prevents any conjecturing of the matter. Most of us suspect, however, that he will turn up a scientist when he makes a definite choice for himself. Activities: Dramatics 3, Honor Roll l, 2, 3, 4. Frederick W. G. Sal-il. Since the Sophomore Year, we have known him as a quiet, studious and dependable gentleman. He was all that and an effective block- ing-back on the football team as well. He did not limit his talents in athletics to football. He performed well at basketball too, though he did not conclude his stay on the Varsity quintet in his Senior year of play. Instead, he concentrated his ef- forts in spring at the keystone position of the baseball nine. Here he did as well at fielding as he did at the plate. He expects to land a berth with the Coast Guard Academy, for which he has been preparing during his Senior year for the entrance examinations early this summer. Fred was much impressed with the great comrade- ship existing at Chaminade. Activities: Varsity Basketball 3, Freshman Football, Varsity Baseball 2, 3, 4, Jayvee Basketball 2, Varsity Football 2, 4, Honor Roll 2, 3. John J. Scanlan. Hailing from St. Raymond's in Lynbrook, John was one of the more serious-minded students of the group, applying himself to things that would benefit him most. One of his achievements was his skill in the history course. He liked to analyze the problems that confronted nations through the centuries. Al- though not exactly a top-notcher in scholastic averages, he was quite discerning in his attack on school subjects. A friendly smile and a sense of willing cooperation ingratiated themselves into every class activity. He could be counted upon when- ever the school needed assistance. Because of his good work at the passing game, he won a place on the Jayvee basketball five in his Junior year. He did not re- appear at his position the following year, perhaps realizing that there were too many seasoned players on the squad. Activities: Jayvee Basketball 3, Intramural Basket- ball l, 2, 3, 4. J. Frank Stengel. They do not come much smaller. Frank was a little fellow deeply interested in the Rifle Club. To find Frank, one had only to visit the target gallery, and sure enough, Frank would be there either popping at the bull's eye or examining some firearms to make sure that the club was still function- ing to the limit. He was as business-like in his studies. He would check up on his strong and weak points at the end of each period and proportion his work accord- ingly. Hence, he did not waste his time, he worked constantly, not feverishly but very deliberately and confidently. His laughs were a bit out of the ordinary, few could enjoy a 'good one' as heartily. His little mite may grow into a gigantic force a few years hence. This is no prediction, we just liked the analytic approach to work and activity that little fellow always brought. Activities: Rifle Club 2, 3, 4. Walter A. Taber. Joviality and a ceaseless attack of wise-cracking and fun combined to make this small personality a perceptible entity in the classroom. Walt was an interesting little 'cut-up' that never got into anybody's 'hair.' He knew where to draw the line and keep the friends whom he was amusing. No one would be surprised to hear about Walt's new model Erector Sets. The combinations he has given us with chemical and physical apparatuses almost confirms this pro- phecy. This little fellow has what it takes to put life into a crowd. Everyone will remember his get-togethers during the class intermissions and at lunch hour. Who can forget the little man who had his own tux and could just-about be seen at his place when information was asked about that tux. Walt, be as cheerful after you have grown a little taller. Activities: Sodality l, Rifle Team 2, Honor Roll l. Crimson and Gold Thirty-nine Forty use 'C' Crimson and Gold James J. Whelan. Here's just one 'great guy! Jim was an honor student and a fine fellow. Whatever he said or whatever he did was permeated with a natural sincerity. He had to work to make the top in scholastic attainment. Jim was not a genius, rather a worker that proved his ability to master a problem or conquer a situation. He was active in school and in parish work. His favorite hobby wgg ping-pong. Jim liked the speed and precision of the game. ln his free moments, Jim liked conversation. Politics, world affairs, and the sport parade interested him most. Jim always had a good word for his associates, He impressed us with his graciousness. We feel that the school days have been more interesting and in- spiring because of his friendship. Don't forget us too soon! Activities: Sodality l, 2, 4, Honor Roll l, 2, 3, 4, Annaul Staff 4, Library l. Theodore Williams. Teddy emphasized science and liked it. He earned for himself the title of 'radio wizard' and 'chem chief' by the repeated talks he delivered in English on radio and chemistry. Unlike the majority of speakers, he would use the blackboard for illustrations. ln the course ofa five-minute speech, is was nothing for him to fill the front board with sketches, diagrams and symbols. He could make synthetic diamonds the size of a pin-point. lt may be that his arguments were so profound that most of us imagined we saw diamond points under our eyes. As already mentioned, Rogan and he spent much of their time arguing over gamma rays, the theory of relativity and such like. Ted expects to follow his brother Robert to N.Y.U. Perhaps he has heard about the recent development of a static-free station by one of its professors. Plenty of luck to you, wizard and chief! Activities: Bio Club l, 2, 3. Kobert W. Windsor. Well known for his constant cheerfulness, Bob carried on as the finest gentlemen of the class. His favorite topic 'How to Build Model Airplanes' always brought a laugh during public speaking. He made the Varsity baseball nine in his Junior term, serving as relief hurler to Joe Malone and Com- pany. What he lacked in speed, he made up with a marvellous control. Whenever report cards were issued, Bob was among the first five performers. His attachment to Sauvigne helped him to keep pace with another good student of the division. This friendship continued after school hours, the two frequently spending their recreations and their holidays together. The duet may continue for some time yet, since both hail from the some Williston Park. They have not decided on the college for next fall.

'Cheerful Duke,' a native son of Hempstead-so well known in that village that he waves his arms at cops while passing at crossings or in front of the Police Station--was an interested member of the group, and spent a lot of his spare time in making himself responsible to duties. He was the proud owner of a luxurious and spacious 'special' in which he travelled back and forth with the distinction peculiar to a 'Duke.' He was kept busy assisting with passenger service to all parts of the Island whenever an emergency demanded. He preferred mathematics to all other subjects, a course that seemed most natural to him and to his practical tendency of figuring out for himself. Both the library and the band claimed his attention, in the latter activity, he distinguished himself on the comet. Good luck, Duke!

Crimson and Gold A Retrospect of Our Big Moments at Chaminade It seems to us that so many things have happened during the four years we have been together at Chaminade, that a brief resume of the more im- pressive experiences of our early introduction into high school life will enable us to treasure these memories permanently for the future. We recall quite clearly the first day we stepped into the wide hallways and had our first glimpse ofa Brother of Mary who directed us into the gym where all of us Freshmen met each other. A little later, the Principal, Bro. Thomas Powers, S.M., assigned us our classroom and off we went to the top floor where other Freshmen had already been spending their first-semester acquaintance with Chaminade. What enthusiasm we felt during our first high school game at Jamaica when the score was deadlocked at 6-6 and the rain kept coming down to dampen our own spirits and thwart the efforts of Captain Borer and his fighting Flyers! The following week, October l3, l935, we saw the band on parade. We never knew the colors were so stunning. What a display of spirit and pep! We won that game against Valley Stream. Coach Boiler Burns' boys were on. The score gave us a l2 to 6 advantage. Then came the Football Banquet in December. Many of us never saw such a display of color and decoration. lndeed, 'Sleepy Jim' Crowley of Ford- ham was principal speaker for the evening. Basketball came next. We learned to throw the ball into the bucket. We watched Haggerty perform as a Flyer then. Baseball and track were upheld by such famous stars as Sybil, McGunnigle, Donally, Campbell, Call- meyer and Dryden. Golf paraded its champions of Moran, George and John Humm, and Jack Burke. Such were the experiences of our first year, to which must be added the finer impressions made by those First Friday Masses and Communions, the Annual Retreat, and the Father and Son Communion Breakfast. ln a word, we became acquainted with a routine that kept repeating itself for the three years that still remained to us. Here we are now, about to abandon the things we have appreciated so and which we hope to incorporate into our very lives as the fruit derived from a thorough Catholic education. We do not presume that our work has been completed. More than once have we been told that high school is only the be- ginning. These memoirs are here recalled so that we may keep the essential principles of our early training ever before us. Chaminade has stood for a completeness, such as only a Catholic school can give when it stresses the importance of the intellect, of the soul, and of the body. We have tried to be good students, Catholic gentlemen, and real sports-we of l939. Forty-one Forty-two , C3 Seniors Graduating January I940 Joseph W. Kane. Joe carried the Presidency of the class for four years. His popularity showed itself even on the cinder-path. On the relay team, his quartet registered the Conference title for three successive years. Aside from this, Joe sprinted in the IOO-yard and 220-yard dashes. Because of his superiority in the Sprints, his cronies have dubbed him 'lonesome Joe.' However, Joc was never lone! some. He had many friends at school and brought many more whenever the Flyers played their opponents on the home lot. Latin did not go very well in the classroom for 'lonesome.' He soon let it alone and concentrated his talent on the other subjects that mattered. His quiet, unassuming manner will linger long in our memories. Luck aplenty wherever you go, Joel Activities: Sodality 3, 4, Freshman Football, Varsity Track I, 2, 3, 4, Intramural Basketball 2, 3, 4, Class Officer I, 2, 3, 4, Senior Class President. Charles A. Carlson. Volumes could be written about this comrade before an adequate expression could be made of his good qualities. He won friends at every turn by his gracious manner. His participation in many activities exemplified the generosity that was almost instinctive with him. But the grandest achievement was his remarkable success in studies. The Honor Roll carried his name each year. On the Annual staff, he shared a large part of the burden in composing articles. When- ever there was a drive for tickets, missions, etc., Charlie was the contact-man in most instances. Cooperation came from the class spontaneously. In his Senior year, he sported his own roadster that went on many an errand as soon as the need arose. Charlie will remain a pleasant memory. Activities: Band I, 2, 3, 4, Sodality I, Z, Bio Club I, 2, Honor Roll I, 2, 3, 4, Intramural Basketball 2, Annual Staff 4, Class Officer 2, 3, 4, Senior Class Vice President. Kenneth R. Caulfield. Ken, the class leader in intramural sports, dominated the team's play toward the Junior Championship for two consecutive years. In his third year at school, he enlisted for the Varsity quintet and remained the idol of the class thereafter. With Joe Kane he shared the honor of being class officer for two years. His studies claimed most of his attention. Languages were his 'meat.' Consequently he took to Latin for four years and to German for three. Besides being always neat in appearance, Ken was conspicuous for his rippling laughter. Whenever he got started, the whole class enjoyed it. But his merry moments remained within bounds. He was a gentleman. The sympathetic regard he had for others was manifested in the assistance he gave to friends less gifted. Activities: Class Officer 2, 3, Honor Roll I, 2, 3, 4, Intramural Basketball I, Z, 3, Freshman Basketball, Senior Class Secretary. Donald J. Juster. 'Don' may.be easily described as the quintessence of the humor brigade. Never will the exploits of 'Colonel' Juster-as the military man of the Latin class-be forgotten. The fact is, he actually enlisted in the Army and had to take his punishment in Uncle Sam's patriotic fashion. Moreover, with a future as bright as Dorsey's, he became a slide artist on the trombone from his Sophomore year on. 'Don's' inexhautible energy was also directed around the oval track in the mile-run grind. In the classroom, he possessed the envied knack of being able to make a teacher laugh when words of admonition were about due. The troubles of school bothered him only when he had nothing else to do. He preferred a carefree life-the rendezvous of a natural comedian. The years will hardly unbend him from this tendency. Activities: Band I, 2, 3, Sodality I, 2, Service Club I, 2, 3, Torrnac Staff I, Bio Club I, Varsity Track 2, 3, 4, Senior Class Treasurer. Frank E. Barnes, Jr. Son of a prominent local physician, Frank went by the more common name of 'Doc.' He was a great asset to the corps of tackles represented on Flyer elevens during the past three years. As a Junior, his stellar work during the i938 season won for him the captaincy for the autumn of I939. There was no dodging the point, 'Doc' played hard notwithstanding the fact that his words were few. He showed the same persistent attack in the classroom. Despite his going after Latin for three consecutive years, he leaned towards the sciences. There is a lurking suspicion that he found application for some of this scientific data down in the summer farm in Vermont. The truth is, that 'Doc' worked down on the farm in a big way to get a broad view of life in its many phases. Activities: Freshman Football, Varsity Baseball 3, 4, Jayvee Basketball 2, Varsity Football 2, 3, 4, Freshman Basketball. Charles J. Bartlett. Charlie went 'bugs' as soon as he put foot into Chami- nade, i.e., he took a great fancy to the Bio Club. At modelling and mounting he spent many hours after school. But when he grew older, he took interest in golf, since he has had experience as a caddy. But that was the era of Humm and his divot drivers. ln their class, Charlie was clean out of luck. The same thing happened when he turned his attention to field events in track. There were so many good broad- jumpers in the pit that there was no room for Charlie. So brother met brother in the Rifle Club, where Charlie had a slight edge over his partner. Such a hectic sequence of failures would have daunted the average seeker after prestige. Yet he never gave up trying, and worked as perseveringly at his books. Activities: Golf 3, Sodality l, 2, Bio Club l, 2, Varsity Track 3, Rifle Team 3, lntramural Basketball 3. James W. Bartlett. Jim, the younger of the Bartlett boys, managed to stay in the same class with Charlie. Having another member of the family in the same class proved a source of occasional annoyance from mistaken identity. Jim, however, was quite different from his quiet and studious brother. His sense of fun unfortunately bubbled over at the wrong time, but he was able to 'take it' at the whim of the teacher. Only the lure of the Rifle club was able to steer him away from the beaten path to and from school. Up to that time lthis happened in his Junior yearl Latin was his nemesis. Vocabulary just would not stay in his head. But apart from this problem, the class routine went along on a steady line. He worked with the group and achieved his measure of success. He will be remembered as part of the Bartlett duet that had the students and faculty guessing. Activities: Sodality lg Varsity Track 3, Rifle Team 3, lntramural Basketball 3. William A. Beirne. While Bill did not care to do more than was expected of him in the classroom, he never rebelled against lengthy practice sessions on the gridiron. And rightly so, since his massive figure fitted so well the slashing and driving tactics of the pigskin sport. Bill was never daunted by the size or publicized prowess of opposing elevens. 'The bigger they are, the harder they fall' was his philosophic manner of analysis. The fighting spirit marked every game he played. Big as he was, he spent his time over little things. From the library stack-room he made the contents of well-nigh every Reader's Digest his own. Like a second Stevenson, he carried his reading in his pocket and referred to it at odd moments of the day. Tusitala, will you ever see Samoa? Activities: Sodality l, 2, Freshman Football, Varsity Football 2, 3, 4, Annual Staff 4. Crimson and Gold Forty-three William C. Carr. Under Wee Willie's apparently nonchalant mannerisms Forty-four Crimson and Gold Paul J. Blatz. There is no dodging the true meaning of the word when we refer to Paul as a genius. The scholarship he won in the entrance examination to Cha- minade singled him apart from the crowd. We watched him often and realized for the first time that there was such a thing as 'a thirst for knowledge.' Unlike the traditional genius with his eccentric ways, Paul mingled with the group. He cultivated their friendship and shared his knack of book knowledge with them. The band, journalism on the Tarmac, and intramural basketball kept him attune to a real Chaminade tempo. Paul scoffed at the notion that he was a 'genius,' believing that his interest in books made acquirement easy. Whatever the explanation, the whole school knew Paul, and everyone admired hin at the same time that they envied his superior distinction. Activities: Band 2, 3, 4, Sodality 2, Tarmac Staff 2, 3, 4, Honor Roll l, 2, 3, 4. Leonard E. Boegel. 'Lem' distinguished himself on the Jayvee football team. Although he was quiet, his true worth was appreciated by his close associates on the field. There is a great suspicion that he possessed talent in other sports, but the 'Lem' never showed the 'goods.' He owed a lot of his drive on the line to his feet. His pedals were merely size twelves! During class recitations he preferred sitting quietly in a listener's capacity. Perhaps his attitude was correct, for he was was was and pretty high in scholastic averages. lnvariably he relaxed a bit in history. It plain that this was his favorite subject. The artistic bent of his character evident in the neatness and precision that marked the figures of his plane solid geometry assignments. Do we have an engineer among us? Activities: Freshman Football, Varsity Football 2, 3, 4, Intramural Basketball 3, Inter-class Track l, 2, 3. existeo a great spirit of determination that became more evident when Regents exams came around. Bill was compelled to hurry home after dismissal to tend to his carrier job for one of the local newspapers. In his Junior year, he stopped this peddling business, but the habit he had previously acquired kept him aloof from every activity but baseball. An over-abundance of pitchers hindered his progress on the rubber. For an occasional time-out, he relaxes on the clarinet which he learned to finger during his Freshman year. On the whole, he was rather quiet and felt most content while admiring the peculiar sense of Juster's humor. He did his best in mathematics because he found he could cram more figures closely together per square inch than vocabulary words. His writing WAS small. Activities: Band l. ' John J. Conway. Jack's quiet manner proved a steadying influence to some of us when we were inclined to letting off much 'steam.' By no means backward, this pacifist kept himself in check, trying hard not to miss an opportunity for better- ing himself. To distract himself from time to time, he made his trips to the athletic contests regularly. This tendency soon forced his father to follow suit, to the end that Mr. Conway became as loyal and rabid a rooter as any red-blooded member of the student body. No one ever found out Jack's favorite subject at school. He seemed to concentrate on all of them to succeed. lf there was any special choice, his interest in the lab lectures was about the only indication that he liked the sciences. Jack made a good impression on the boys around him. He will linger long with many of us. Activities: Sodality l, 2, Intramural Basketball l, 2, Inter-class Track l, 2, 3. Thomas P. Culkin. Although Tom did not come to Chaminade until his second year, he soon won his way into the hearts of his friends about hime. Things that would worry even the famed Huckleberry Finn did not even disturb this easy-going fellow. He shows the some spirit now that he displayed the first week we knew him. This freedom from care is probably the reason for his greeting everyone with a cheer- ful smile. More than once has it come to his assistance in helping another feel brighter over a 'rough deal' that might have occurred. Because Tom required special effort in handling his school subjects in a tolerable manner, he did not take part in any extra-curricular subjects or events. However, at any of the games he could be spotted very readily adding his gusto to the yells and cheers that went up from all sides. On all fronts, he has been known for good cheer and comradeship. The world should like him for that. Activities: lnter-class Track 2. Eugene A. Cunningham. First-baseman extraordinary, speedy half-back, and a clever basketball forward, dapper Gene put a lot of emphasis on athletics. His entire list of achievements turns completely in favor of athletics. As a Freshman, he tried his hand at baseball on a dare and made the Varsity without much competition. Though baseball was his forte, he did not ignore football and basketball. However, at neither did he succeed as swell. Confident on the field of sports, he carried a similar attitude into the world of books. Al- though he never felt the same ease in his scholastic attack, he kept on trying, striking up a happy medium of light-heartedness and perseverance to see him through. His self-confident air was refreshing during exams. He kept on smiling. Activities: Freshman Football, Varsity Baseball l, 2, 3, 4, Varsity Football Z, 3, lntramural Basketball l, Z, 3, 4, Freshman Basketball. John Daly. John has made himself popular by his ability to remain quietly in the back-ground and enjoy the temperamental anxieties of the class. For John is one of those fellows who can look fate in the eye and laugh, no matter what the annoyance may be. Though he had no serious objections to study, he readily admitted that he held a nominal interest in homework. This explains his indifferent reaction whenever tasks were collected. lt was unfortunate that he came to us as a Senior. His grand physique could have been used to advantage in the foot- ball department, had he come sooner to familiarize himself with the Flyer system of attack. However, John impressed the boys with his manly front. Indeed, when he first put foot into the classroom, many thought he was an agent or a man-of- affairs. He has maintained that status among his fellow classmates for the short time the school had known him. Arnold J. Ebel. The madcap of the class, Arnold provided many mirthful moments. His well-directed cracks spared no one, though at times these were administered inadvertently and got him into trouble. Nothing ever stumped him. He always had a retort even if it were only a fizzle. German conversation was his delight in the modern language session. ln English, his essays showed signs of a mature thinker, though generally he inclined towards light patter for the amuse- ment of the class. He placed a great deal of emphasis on football, when it came to athletics. Being a quarterback of fair promise, he worked hard toward realizing his ambitions to play on some collegiate eleven. He played on the class and Jayvee basketball teams to occupy himself when football was out of season. Activities: Sodality l, 2, 3, Freshman Football, Varsity Football 3, 4, lntramural Basketball 2, 3. Crimson and Gold Forty-five Forty-six Crimson and Gold Raymond F. Eldridge. Roy was one of those strong, silent men, every word he uttered spoke a volume. Whatever he said was significant, he wasted no words. On the football field he played the end position, showing himself a hard-working and courageous wingman. lnjuries prevented him from competing extensively on the cinder oval. Indoors, Ray nursed his French with special care, although he did not relish the home-work part. He liked the conversation ways af the Frenchmen, the written approach caused too much bother with the many silent letters and accents that had to be observed so painstakingly. The 'fraternity' that occupied him 'out of town' the spoke of Mineola as a townl might have been one reason why Ray did not like the written part of school life. Still, he came across in his own quiet way. Activities: Sodality l, 2, Freshman Football, Varsity Football 3, 4, Varsity Track 3, 4, lntra- mural Basketball l, Freshman Basketball, Inter-Class Track l, Z. Frank X. Frayer. Frank passed off all difficulties with a captivating smile. Well-dressed and careful about his appearance, he easily made acquaintance with friends socially. He began his program of action in the band, but practice on the clarinet was too 'tame' for him, so he joined the football line for tougher competition. Competition in his new venture was more passive than active, he had to content himself with a position on the second team as a conditioning factor for the Varsity. But he liked the tactics and stuck at his post for three years. Like the majority of students, Frank did not like homework. However, he worked diligently enough to succeed in the finals. Now he is looking forward to college. He will have to look far for one that has no homework! Activities: Band l, Sodality l, 2, Freshman Football, Varsity Football 2, 3, 4, Intramural Basketball I, 2, 3. John F. Gruenewold. John has spent only the last two years of his high school life with us. During that time, we have become very familiar with the grin he always sported in coming to school. There never was a Blue Monday with him around. He could talk for hours about automobiles, knowledge of which he gained while working in the garage after class hours. His familiarity with the mechanical phase of the physics course was proof that he understood his trade. As a typical resident of Hempstead, he knew how to take care of himself. He was not slow in letting anyone know whenever anything annoyed him. This latter trait may serve as a preparation for his ambition after graduation. He is planning to study some- where in the south. We do not have any fears that .lack will be able to take care of himself. His work was done conscientiously and his stay among us gave us the experience of a good comrade. Activities: Varsity Track 3. Gerard D. Hannon. Jerry was one of those fellows who was very appreciative for the least favor shown him. Determined to do his bit in studies, he would listen attentively in class and then work tirelessly at his assignments. He showed the same determination while playing football and baseball. Though a little fellow, he was noted for the stretching act in snagging ground balls on the diamond. And yet, Jerry had another weakness he could not conceal, airplanes. He sketched hundreds of them over his text covers and note-books. If it had not been for his preference for sports, he would have been a member of the Airplane Club. As it is, he intends to take up aeronautical work, continuing as a Flyer by profession. When you're up there, Jerry, look down on the Mineola school and tell us your impression from up there. Activities: Freshman Football, Base- ball 3. William Haupt. Bill was a practical joker. The victim could expect anything: a fake flower in the lapel, a cigar that wouldn't light, etc. He used this mirth- provoking instinct to advantage as a cheerleader. In that capacity, he showed a lot of pep and a pair of good lungs. His shouts kept ringing one after the other as cheer followed cheer, but Bill did not seem to tire. Together with Dickinson, Frawley and Siebert he formed the mainstay of the cheering group during his Sophomore and Junior year. Working at his lessons laboriously, he succeeded in making a passing grade in his subjects. Bill liked sports, concentrating mostly on intramural contests. As a member of the basketball team, he was able to divide his attention between books and sports without detriment to his subjects. He will live in our memories through the innocent pranks he played on us. Activities: Sodality l, 2, Freshman Football, Intramural Basketball l, 2, Cheerleader 2, 3. Phil Lynch. Phil made a familiar sight tearing around after school in his green-colored Ford. He always had plenty of friends riding with him either on good-will tours or as players at some athletic contest away from school. He was generous by nature and always disposed towards enjoying himself whole-heartedly. He showed this spark of exuberance in English, where his novel compositions contributed hilariously to everyone's enjoyment. The unique vocabulary was the high-spot of these literary rarities. His outside interests were numerous and diversified, ranging from roller-skating around the rink to the beating of the drum in the band. He excelled at target shooting on the school range. At all times, his multiple interests never brought a dull moment among Phil's acquaintances. Activities: Sodality l, 2, Varsity Baseball 3, 4, Rifle Club l, 2, 3, Intramural Basketball 2, 3, Camera Club l, 2. John Q. Madigan. Mischievous and modest, with the ability of becoming serious at the right moment, 'Slip' was noted for his athletic stamina. His inability to explain himself when in trouble caused much amusement during class hours. School spirit dominated all his characteristics whether he played his position at end on the Varsity football squad or whether he jumped center on the basketball quintet. His fight and determination to win has more than once been the differ- ence between victory and defeat. In his Freshman days as well as in his Varsity competition, we have had the pleasure of seeing his tall awkward frame become o well managed rhythmic machine. 'Slip' is anxious to capitalize on collegiate sports, if all his dreams come true. We wish him success wherever he goes. Activities: Varsity Basketball 2, 3, 4, Sodality l, Freshman Football, Varsity Football 2, 3, 4, Freshman Basketball. Daniel A. McAleese. 'Dan' was one of the type that accomplished a lot by following the rule that silence is golden. However, he was far from being inactive. When the time came, he put forth his efforts in rounding out a good-sized con- tribution to the school's activities. He spent his first two years in the Band. When he found that his studies could not continue with the length of time he had to put in on his instrument, he changed to track, putting his efforts in the 440-yard run. Whether he played or whether he ran, he carried on in the same silent manner. His perseverance in all undertakings spoke more eloquently than any words he might have uttered. There is a place in the world today for men with a purpose about them. 'Dan' seems to have 'what it takes.'

McCreody. Perhaps the reason that Bob has succeed as well as he has in his studies can be explained by the seriousness with which he has done his work. Unlike so many other wielders of the pencil and quill, he planned a future for himself and worked accordingly. On the other hand, he has not been all seri- ousness. He would warm up very easily as soon as hockey was the subject of con- versation. He could list the results of last night's matches one after the other. He must have known plenty of the players by name, he went so often to watch the game. Generally his manner was somewhat reserved, except when there was an opportunity for a little subtle humor. The crowd could always expect him to make his contributions, usually at his own expense. He liked to criticize himself at such moments, at the some time that he would provoke laughter in doing it. 'Mac' should find a real place in the world for himself. Robert E. McGuire. Making others happy seemed to have been Bob's special prerogative at Chaminade. Uncanny in slipping out of trouble and 'tight places,' he impressed the boys with his tactics on more than one occasion. With a heart full of good nature and a head ready for expediency, 'Mac' gained many friends. He always had the annoying habit of worrying unnecessarily about school problems. Eventually he discovered that there was nothing to this fear and dread. In reality he had nothing to worry about. He was far more intelligent then he ever realized. Perhaps this tendency of feeling somewhat inferior prevented his doing better work on the report card. The same attitude marked his reaction to non-scholastic activities. He tried track and football but did not feel himself competent in any of them. Graduation may make him more aggressive. Activities: Freshman Foot- ball, Sodality 2, Inter-Class Track l. Robert J. McLaughlin. Bob was a tease by nature. He could disturb his cronies very easily. Murray was his usual victim. But the whole class would come to Murray's defense, so that Bob had to be quite masterly to emerge victoriously from the conflict. Bob seems to have high apsiration after graduation. He may join his brother at Notre Dame. While at Chaminade, he liked especially the order- ed procedure of school discipline. He marvelled at the ease with which it was achieved. Out of class hours, he spent his time with the Buick, a classy little car than ran along routes more interesting than the customary home-stretch between Mineola and Lynbrook. Indeed, Bob spent many a pleasant afternoon with the boys. For big events, he included an extra three or four passengers to help along the success of the football games, the basketball tussle, or whatever the Flyers were doing at the time. Call on us often, Bob! John T. Moylon. This gentleman seems to evade the process of description. His actions speak louder than words. His grace and vitality were best demonstrated in his excellent performance as high-jumper on the Track team. Watching him sail over the bars was a delight to all lovers of track. His long, six-foot frame was a rhythmic moving picture as it cleared the bar. But Jack was also good scholastic- ally. Few could write compositions as humorously. His favorite medium was Joe Walyo, whom Jack personally popularized in and out of English time. Out of the literature period, Walyo became a by-word scribbled in the corner of every black- board visited during the day's scholastic pilgrimage. Long live Walyo!

Kenneth J. Nolan. With his mischievous inclinations getting him into many tight places and his diplomacy never failing to get him out of difficulties, 'Ken' has been a constant source of surprises to the class, as well as the official leader of the humor department. He and Juster formed a pair that will be hard to replace in the walls of the Mineola School. However, his little pranks did not interfere with his studies. His mind was brilliant, but so accustomed to 'idling in low gear' that 'Ken' generally made the grade in a cramming session a few hours before test time. Aside from his emphatic participation in class recitations and such, he has also taken a few knocks in football scgimmages. But he really is not interested in college football. He is looking forward to a business career. Activities: Tarmac Staff l, 2, Bio Club l, Honor Roll l, Intramural Basketball 'l, 2, 3, 4, Annual Staff 4, Library Staff l. Edward I. O'Conor. Ed delighted to. communicate his good cheer by slapping his comrades on the back. Then vociferously commenting on the weather, the last score chalked up by the Flyer teams, or the spirited Dodgers, he would be on his way to meet another group who had not heard the very latest. ln the library or at the Treasurer's desk he insisted that his name was spelled with a single 'n.' That was Ed all over, democratic though he was on many points, he had his strong points. But the boys liked him, he was so pleasantly well-meaning. This willing- ness to please was shown in the many jobs he took on. He served in the cafeteria, worked at the stationery store, peddled Tarmacs, and helped the managers with their work occasionally. At his desk, the slightly perceptible screwing of the mouth showed he was hard at work. Activities: Sodality i, Service Club 2, 3, lntramural Basket- ball l, 2, 3, Inter-Class Track l, 2. Sam H. Sharp. Sam had the happy faculty of feeling at home wherever he went. It did not matter whether he loitered in the physic lab or whether he was part ofa crowd bound foi a good time, he was the same 'Sammy.' His loose-limbed figure suggested a perfect picture of ease and freedom-a characteristic he must have cultivated by the long-distance commuting to school that got him up early in the morning and had him hussle to get back late at night. In intramural competition as a basketball player, he showed plenty of form. Only the commuting problem prevented his trying for the Varsity five which he should have made with a little practice and coaching. Around the classroom, his usual quiet manner became altered with a prank that would come to his mind and taunt him until he gave it full play. The boys knew that 'Sammy' was around on such occasion. Activities: Intramural Basketball l, 2, 3, 4, Library Staff l. Thomas V. Sheehy. Tom walked among us with the calm, contented poise of a general who has no lands to conquer because the whole empire is his. With his head high in the clouds he seemed to be musing perpetually of things to come. He was not the type to be bothered obout the past. What was done was done, and there was no reason to be troubled about things that could not be unmade. We do wonder, however, if he will ever tell us what he has been thinking about so per- sistently during the years he has been with us. He never declared himself for any special sport, though everyone has seen him often in the stands cheering along at the various athletic contests staged by the Flyers. There was even a witty side to him that showed itself whenever an antagonist attempted to better him in duel of witticisms. Tom always came back and lit the spark for a rousing good session of merriment and fun. Thanks for the memories. Crimson and Gold Forty-nine Fifty .df ,gg l Crimson and Gold William A. Smith. Bill has emphasized the intellectual bend through the four years he has been a part of the class. With the exception of Cicero who seemed a bit burdensome in the Junior year, 'Smitty' has 'walked through' his subjects and won for himself a place on the Honor Roll for four years. Because of his sharp wit, he was able to find his equal with anyone who would match him words. He was a member of the Rifle club and an enthusiast as a cameraman. His writing gift came in very handily in the biographies he was asked to write of his classmen. There did not exist a limit to all the yarns he could spin about each one. ln the revision process, his abundant material made the task of the copy-editor easy. Some day we expect to see him putting a biographic best-seller on the market. Activities: Sodality l, 2, Bio Club l, Rifle Club l, 2, Honor Roll l, 2, 3, 4, Intramural Basket- ball 2, 3, 4, Camera Club 3, Annual Staff. John A. Spellman. John was never a worry to the faculty. He preferred silence to mischief while in the classroom. However, all this stored-up energy came forward at the proper time, He contributed much to the success of the Rifle club. He as- sumed leadership of the team for three consecutive years, during which time his 'dead eye' enabled the marksmen to bog more than one victory. ln l939, his individual performance in the Nassau Championship Meet gained for Chaminade a title and two trophies. Frequently, his perfect card was tacked on the bulletin board in recognition of his ability. And yet, Jack was an even-tempered lad off the range. He had a kind word for everyone-one of those rare personalities that has no enemies. Work in the classroom came somewhat slowly, but Jack worked as hard as he could in improving himself.

Lou, like his brother Brendan before him, won fame for his pluck-intestinal fortitude. Although his favorite sport was the manly art of self- defense, he had a kindly feeling toward the 'tame' sport of football. At the center position, he was the spark-plug of the charging line. His old Irish fire pepped up the entire team whenever he was out on the field. In the classroom, this fire turned into a radiant humor that sometimes prolonged itself imprudently. But that served as a reminder to stress the books. That Lou would do until the bell at the close of the period again resurrected the more genial current of his nature. So, whatever he was doing, he was able to accommodate himself to the tasks of the moment. Carrying that fortitude along with himself during the years that will be his after graduation, he should succeed, Activities: Freshman Football, Varsity Football 2, 3, 4, Intra- mural Basketball 2. Joseph V. Whelan. Jioe has carried with him the singular privilege of being able to accommodate himself to all the practical jokers who came to him with their wares. In consequence, he had many friends, who respected him deeply for the geni- ality he always exhibited. At times, his associates admired him for the spirit he showed, 'Doc' worked hard in school, but never so hard that he overlooked the other factors in school life. He spent his time with the Service squad and the Track team. In his Junior year, he was elected Vice-President of the class. His chief interest lay in physics, and it would not surprise anyone to read about his achievements in the mechanical world in the future. Interests in this field were furthered by 'Doc's' frequent 'trips' to the library where he spent much of his time looking over the latest inventions discussed in scientific magazines.

Crimson and Gold Turning Another Page in the Annals of Chaminade Whereas the Summer Graduates have refreshed the memory of by-gone days at Chaminade, we propose to supplement their contribution by enumer- ating the achievements of the i939 Seniors. We do this not in a spirit of boastfulness or pride, but as a manifestation of our sincerity in trying at all times to uphold the best traditions of Chaminade. On many occasions, we were reminded of the attainments of graduates before us. We feel we have done our part as well as we could. ln order to avoid any undue praise from our own utterances in summing up past performances and past records, we have asked a scribe of the Tarmac to do the recapitulation for us. Here are his findings: lt seems to me that the following best expresses the highlights of the class of i939 as a contributor to the annals of Chaminade High School: Scholastically, there have been few scholars in Chaminade as distin- guished as Paul Blatz. The entire student body is unanimous in acclaiming him as a stand-out in every department of study. Others who were conspicu- ous as students are: Thomas Cawley, Arthur Sauvigne, John Rogan, James Whelan, Robert Windsor, George Cridland, Charles Carlson, Kenneth Caul- field, and William Carr. Genuine leadership and student initiative was best demonstrated by William Johnson, William Miller, Robert Martin, Matthew Murray, Frank Barnes, Charles Carlson, and Joseph Kane. ln athletics there were many outstanding performers. Only names can be mentioned in this brief review. They include: Hugh Biddick, George Crid- land, William Johnson, John McGrath, William Miller, William Walsh, Hu- bert Beudert, Donald Gorman, Robert Martin, Andrew McDermott, Stanley Premo, Fred Sahl, Frank Barnes, William Beirne, Arnold Ebel, Raymond Eld- ridge, Don Juster, Joe Kane, Daniel McAleese, John Madigan, John Moylan, and Louis Stynes. A review of the sport sections of this Crimson and Gold will reveal the nature of each one's contribution. Besides this, there was a large number represented in the various or- ganizations and clubs operating in the school as extra-curricular activities. The Class of I939 has left a very definite impression on the student body that it leaves behind. So runs the list of things that have been during our pleasant associ- ation with Chaminade. We hope others will do better. Nothing would please us more than to see a greater and bigger Chaminade. We have been deeply impressed by the things we heard about our pioneers only seven short years ago when this school was first opened on Jackson Street. It would be almost natural to suppose that seven years hence additional strides will have been made. We offer our tribute with the others who have gone before us. Fifty Fifty-two Underclassmen are a vital necessity in school life. Un- less they assisted Seniors in the various activities, life would be impossible. With their co-operation, a school functions as a unit, scholastically, athletically and socially. While re- viewing the year's accomplishment in this Crimson and Gold, we must also include the characteristics of the various classes who exerted their influence under the colors representing Chaminade High School and featured in the theme of this publication. Each class had its share of contributors. A glance at records achieved during the year will show us who these in- dividuals were. Each one distinguished himself in a peculiar way. Each one gives promise of continuing the tradition we entrust to them. In them, Chaminade of tomorrow will go marching on. Many of them are already looking to the day when they too will be graduating. They have read about many gradu- ation exercises that have been staged by this school in the past. As they look at the graduates who have passed on, they naturally wonder how well they will be able to carry on. ln the experiences they have had with upperclassmen, they know that they usually relied upon their older companions for con- fidence and leadership. Now they must strike out alone. But we hasten to assure them that we felt the same way when other Seniors passed on. The school does not seem to suffer by anyone's absence. lts spirit is too spiritual to be depen- dent on mortal efforts. From the beginning of time, the finger of God directed the destinies of this world, ond even today l-lis spirit breathes where it will perpetuating the an- cient command to teach all nations to the end of time. Life with its Crimson and leadership with its Gold labor ceoselessly to make man's existence purposeful, One class cedes its place to another. The file of conquering souls ad- vances to achievements beyond this world. Keep marching after us, you worthy comradesl The some lessons that we have learned urge you on.

Moloney Diligence and Good Comradeship Distinguished Junior B-I Junior B-l had the distinction of being completely classical, everyone of its members elected Cicero and his Latin language as a branch of study. They were the first group to mob the famous orator with such acclaim. More than that, these Juniors took all their other subjects without much trouble. Study and attainment marked these students apart from the rest of the classes. Joe l-lart, Joe Mee, Dave Darcy and Phil l-lolzberger supplied the ginger to the whole set- up. These gentlemen liked a laugh and injected bits of humor occasionally into the day's routine of books, tasks, recitation and drills. From this same group come Clabby, Darcy, Mee, and Staudt-the scrappy Varsity Sec- onds in basketball. Brawn and brains mingled in a good proportion accounted for a rare spirit in this Junior division. Airplane-modelling and photography seemed to have been among the more popular hobbies, and among sports, basketball, football, and track led the field. Other activities to oc- cupy the boys were: Tarmac, band, and the Sodality. Most versatile among there were Holz- berger on the oboe, Finneran on the clarinet, Keil on the piccolo, and Young on the Tuba. Fitz- gibbon as Feature Editor of the Tarmac and chef d'affairs in the Airplane shop was the busiest solo performer of the group. Top Row: R. Collins, W. Fitzgiblzon, W. Doyle, R. Brougham, E.

They did things rather than planned things, they preferred the tangible phases of school to theoretic- al and bookish kinds. l-lence, they participated in athletics, played in the band, worked as managers, performed as cheerleaders, tinkered on the Radio Club, sprinted in track, and practiced on the rifle range. Callaghan, Carlino, Dolan, Powers, Schlichtig and Seligman did well in football, 'Chuck' Dolan being the center of attack on the Varsity eleven. He played a great defensive game at center and passed accurately offensively. ln basketball, this same Dolan was high-scorer. Don Gagne and Ray Siebert operated the radio transmitter at every opportunity they had, Don being instructor ofthe code class in radio as well. ln the band, Caldwell, Duffy and Wallace were veterans upon whom Mr. Farnan could depend. Ed Schmidt held the responsible position of football manager. Pre-game preparations, medical attention to the team members, and health tabulations of each player were his con- stant concern. Bill Dickinson continued to emulate his big brother, Joe, as cheerleader during the football campaign, while Duke Stock did well as a member of the rifle squad and ace pole- vaulter in track. The climax to all this activity came in early spring when the class took first honors in the subscription drive for the Crimson and Gold. Af- ter that, there was little else to do. l939 was over. f A Top Row: S. Ludzinski, W. Dickinson, J. Dolan, J. Forbes, W. Powers, N. Schlichtig, E. Schmidt, J. McGinley. lst Row: R. Seligman, J.

Colligan Plenty of Activity Came from the Junior-A Contingent There were so many small fellows in Junor-A that is was difficult to tell them apart from Freshmen and Sophomores. Furthermore, they were almost as numerous as their infer- ior co-laborers. However, their size was no indication of their ability and student interest. Their class activity list showed only six names that were not associated with some extra-cur- ricular activity. All the others were busy with some occupation other than their books and their classwork. Interest was fairly well divided between sports and club projects. Jim Keenan as utility quarterback, Bob Koegler as regular Varsity end, Fred Scherr as half-back with the Jayvee eleven, and Jack Strockbine on the line upheld football prestige for the class. Phil Callahan, Ed McKenna, Tom Mangan, and Jack Murray sparkled as regu- lars on the champion Jayvee basketball team. The band paraded a list of names too long to mention in this short resume. Tom Dwyer, the master-mind of the contingent, Jim Keenan, Jack Lynch, Fred Scherr, and Jack Strock- bine remained in the lime-light as active members in three or more departments. There were good scholars too in Frank Beaudine, Tom Dwyer, Jack Fahey, Kenny Mc- Caffery, Dick Schwagerl, and Harry Loester. ln the intra-mural basketball playoffs, the Juniors of this division romped off with the championship.

These Sophomores seem to have lived up to that tradition fairly well. They delighted to amuse each other at every turn, especially during the lunch period when the get-togethers occurred either in the gym or out in the stadium. However, Sophomore B-l had its serious moments. Bob Berlin, Fred Haas, and Tommy Goetz led the way in studies. Joe Ferguson created a lot of local interest with his candid cam- era. His mechanism sported a photo-flash synchroniser, with which Joe was able to spot Flyer sports at night time, at the same time that he was able to snap trackmen and baseball flingers in action. His hobby was the high-spot in the class. Many mornings he ran the whole show be- fore class-time with the numerous pictures he had on exhibition. The Crimson and Gold, furthermore, was able to capitalize on many of these pictures. Baseball and Basketball received popular acclaim from the boys. Few took to football. The band was the most popular choice. Next came the airplane designing, followed by the Rifle Club and Bio Club. Joe Ferman, Don Aery, and Bill Fay shared honors for the good-neighbor policy. Each could entertain a large or a small audience. They supplied the humor so necessary to every human organization. Beyond this, the boys were typical high school sophomores. Upper classmen knew these inhabitants of Room ll3. And Freshmen wondered how it felt to be an active, wide-awake Sophomore. H m Top Row: M. Ren, D. Aery, R. Berlin, A. Van Wagner, T. Daly, R.

Ro- gan Co-operation Bound Sophomore B-2 to Many Activities Sophomore B-2 was another well-balanced outfit. Numbering thirty-four men on the at- tendance roll, they had about as many included in the various activities sponsored by the school. They proportioned their talents in every phase of high school endeavor. Alex Smith, Paul Murphy, John Lavelle, Ray Richards, and Bill Neacy were easily the best in studies. Yet all of these were equally as interested in something else besides. Jack La- velle manifested a talented hand with the charcoal stick. l-lis posters were on display during the football season prior to the pep rallies on Friday. Neacy worked quietly and methodically at his specialty-airplane designing. l-le was among the first to join the club and was chief instructor with Fitzgibbon until aerovmodelling became an accomplished art. Others to distinguish themselves were: Jack Zimmer in football lwho, by the way, is the youngest man on the squadl, del Toro at the rifle and stamps, Paul Hogarty in track and in- tramural basketball, Ray Richards also in art, Rutledge in Varsity football and Jayvee bas- ketball, and Jack Sullivan in the band. Bob Purcell, Howie McGinn, Bernie Rutledge, Bill McCarran and Warren Mueller con- tributed their personal diversions at odd moments. Without them, the class would lack color and distinguishing traits. Sophomore B-2 carried on well in the traditions of the school.

Whatever they did, they accompanied their work with movement: hands waved feverishly during recitations, incoherent murmurs accompanied busy work at their desks, and when a project was annonced there came suggestions simultaneously from a dozen eager throats. Sophomore-A possessed an ettervescent expressiveness. Jim Noonan, winner at the Chaminade scholarship, led every activity of the group. He was foremost as a student and acted as chairman ot every drive sponsored by the school. Be- sides, he played Freshman football and intramural basketball. lt might almost be said that the class took its spirit and inspiration from Jim, though his nature was tar from the effer- vescent type possessed by his colleagues. Edwin Hess, Jay Pardee, Howard Palmer, Frank Guiney, George Olvany, Dick O'Heir, and Bart Daly stood out as the students ot the group. Frank McLaughlin, Bill Magner, Norb Mc- Manus and Howie Palmer supplied the local humor. Each paraded his specialty and each catered to a select audience during lunch time. Comedian honors were taken by Butch Bros- seau who sported ear-mutts in winter, sleigh bells at Christmas, and cap and bells while ped- dling candy. He was a riot, a one-man show.

Houy Reliable Freshman B-I Went about Its Work Very Quietly Freshman B-l reacted quickly to the spirit of Chaminade. At the beginning of the second semester already, the majority of its members were listed in many student organizations. A check-up of the entire class roster revealled only four names without some extra-curricular participation. There were eight names listed for band, about twenty for either football or basketball, five for the Sodality, and about twelve on other clubs operating in the school. For a Freshman contingent this is a grand accomplishment. Scholastic distinction went to Bob Hcgarty, Bill Grant, Bill Conn, Frank Fritz, Gene Do- lan, Jerry Burke, and Jack Finneran. Frank Fritz was champion speller in the Freshman-Soph- omore Spelling Bee held last December. The honor entitled him to a tree pass to the Foot- ball Banquet. ln its first semester competition with other classes, the boys bagged a pennant for sell- 'ing most tickets to the Sewanhaka game. A little later, they took another by coming out on top during the rattle contest. They repeated again in the yearbook drive when they reached a lOO9ffp total in subscription returns. ln every way, these yearlings have manifested a consistant enthusiasm in every undertak- ing.

Teachers generally found students of this boners and the unexpected. A certain sparkle in their attention set this others. Principals who showed this trait were Pat Rice, Tom Peace, Bob gan, Tom Shields, and Dan Sweeney. Almost all brother combinations of former Chaminade grads were concentrated in this group. There were Jack Mahler, Bob Malone, Frank Martin, Art Murray, Frank Porter, and Doug Zellner. The last started right in where his brother Bob had left off. He landed a post with the Tarmac which his brother founded in l934. ln years he may work himself up to the editorship of the paper. The others seemed to have taken after their former greats in similar fashion. The majority are busy with one activity or another. Sports hold the upper hand with most of them. Don McClane, Doug Zellner, and Andy Murphy lead the class on the honor roll. About a half dozen others were close behind. Two peculiar hobbies absorb two of these Freshmen. Jack Meegan has a large collection of baseball players' pictures, while Ray Murray takes to postcards in a special way. With the rest of the boys, the school clubs are heavy favorites. There were a few without an 'after- thought' at 2:l5. Need more be said for R. Murray. Seated: L.

Leni- han February Freshmen Had the Jump on Other Yearling Groups If numbers mean anything, this new crop of first-year lads should go places. They were the largest February class to enroll during the last five years. They differed from the Fresh- men in lacking the hushed, timid ways of the proverbial 'green' mob. The familiarity these boys have brought with them is something different. Most of them are interested in sports, perhaps because they are taller and heavier than the usual Freshies. Bob Nelson, a scholarship winner led the boys in studies. Others to keep pace with him were Joe Mullaney, Bill Pierce, Paul Riddle, Bill Reinhard, Don Collins, Bob Lamneck, and John Larrick. Since basketball was in season at the time these yearlings entered, they took to the game immediately. Fred and Ray Miller, Tony Bedell, George Hill, Gerard Koslow, and Tom Condron made the first team easily, They improved rapidly and appear to be good material for next year's teams. There is little else that could be gathered about this class for the short time they have been here. A few hobbies were discovered among them: Bill Reinhard's raising of pigeons was most unusual. ln the final analysis, it seems that numbers do mean Tha cmp ot n w Fmshes 5 gongng up aH QNV theyre too numerous to mention n ths narrow space something.

Quinn Crimson and Gold Importance of Underclassmen in Color Scheme ln the same way that the Crimson cannot be considered independently of the Gold when reference is made to the school colors at Chaminade, so is it impossible to disregard underclassmen in a yearbook when Seniors seem to hold the limelight. The underclassmen are as much a part of the school as the graduates now leaving. Hence, we wish to acknowledge the definite and important part the Freshmen, the Sophcmores, and Juniors have had in our life at Chaminade. The grandeur we have known while partaking in the fullness of a com- plete education so aptly symbolized in the Crimson and the inspiration we have felt in the generous co-operation suggested by the Gold could never have been ours, if it were not for the underclassmen who mingled with us and made of our life here at Chaminade the happy continuation of home it- self. We cannot escape the necessary companionship of these fellow students. They were an essential factor in athletics, in extra-curricular activities, in social gatherings, in religious demonstrations, and in scholastic attain- ment. Whatever the school sponsored, the entire student body was expected to support. More than once, their criticisms suggested possible remedies, which would never have been noticed by the Seniors who were generally in the in- ner circle of activities. Furthermore, as we look back, we notice that we also learned from the graduates who have gone before, and that we looked to their achievement as a guiding light for our own attainments. Hence, it is quite proper that we stop a moment to appreciate the cooperative assist- ance the Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen have always given us. Whenever we take up this l939 edition of the Crimson and Gold, we shall be reminded that a warm friendship existed among the four hundred who composed the student body of l939. There never was a distinction between one class or another. The Freshman was as much acquainted with the Senior as the Senior was with a member of his own home-room. Such comradeship will take more than years to efface. Consequently, we can do no better than to thank our fellow students for the happy memories they have brought us. We only encourage them to per- petuate this treasure for others who are to follow us. It will be difficult for us to look upon Chaminade differently. We believe we have preserved the spirit that has always been associated with this school. lt is up to you, our suc- cessors, to keep it that way. The Brothers will still be your leaders. We congratulate you for what you have done and thank you again, Take our Challenge and carry onl Sixty-three Y Y Sixty-four And now we come to the second phase of our education -athletics. As much as study trains the mind, sports develop the body, One is as important as the other. Every thinking man will agree with us in this. At Chaminade, our physical development through ath- letics was bound up with our intellectual expansion. One was not trained with detriment to the other. Hence, if the student did not show interest in the classroom, he was barred from Varsity competition, though he was never denied the neces- sary physical exercise permitted during regularly scheduled intervals. By making one dependent on the other, the admin- istration stressed the importance of both and thereby showed that education included more than just mental development. ln athletics more than anywhere else, the school colors came into prominence. Teams were generally attired in Crim- son and Gold uniforms, the band marched along clad in these same striking colors. And rooters cheered contestants on to victory with pennants and banners adorned with the same color combination. The buoyant spirit of the spectators and the determined play of the athletes articulated the meaning behind the Crimson and the Gold. Besides the Varsity teams that represented Chaminade in sport competition with other schools, students had the benefit of participating in intramural games. Most popular among these was basketball. Class teams competed in a lea- gue representing the entire school. At the end of a month, the two leading contenders would vie for championship honors. Thus interest was maintained and a friendly rivalry contrib- uted a genuine spirit of play. As an indication that athletics formed a very important part of our education, the school held a testimonial dinner for the football team in December and an activity dinner for the other sports early in summer. We really enjoyed the ath- letic program conducted at Chaminade. The mere perusal of athletic statistics will show that our program has been inter- esting and widely selected. We know that our second phase has not been neglected. Crimson and Gold -. 4+ 4 another phase In our thorough education athletics I V .v 'Qi K M4 A . . . X at My ,N . 132 . A, .

Prospects for the i938 edition of the p Crimson and Gold eleven were not very flattering, since every member but Dolan of the previous year's first-string performers had graduated. Consequently the nucleus of the squad had to be built around the substitutes of the previous season. The actual organization of the squad was centered around Captain Bill Johnson, triple- threat back, who was the lone Chaminade gridder to be awarded berth on the Long lsland's All-Scholastic team selected by the Long lsland Daily Press. With Miller at quarter-back, Premo at full, and Sahl and Johnson at the half-back positions, the secondary was complete. On the line, the Flyers had Olvany and Madigan at the wing posts, Beudert and Barnes at tackle, Walsh and Dillon at guard, and Dolan at center. Such was the array of players Coach Gagliano named for his starting eleven when the l938 season opened. In his opening talk at the pep rally prior to the first game with Sewan- haka, Captain Johnson mentioned that the gridders were going to try their best in giv- ing the Chaminade rooters a good demon- stration. He assured them that the boys themselves realized the odds inexperience was expected to bring at the outset. How- ever, he added that the traditional fight and spirit would mark every contest. Though Coach Gagliano did have a difficult task in rounding out two elevens for his first test as Flyer Coach, still he succeeded in building a line and develop- ing a backfield that played consistently well to the loyal followers who gave their support despite the foreshadowing of a mediocre season. ln his preliminary task of grounding the boys in fundamentals, the Coach was assisted occasionally by Frank 'Boiler' Burns, former Flyer mentor, who drilled the linemen in tackling and blocking. Before long, some talent was discovered and by frequent scrimmages an eleven was trained for the opening of the season against the traditional rival, Sewanhaka. This first game of a home-and-home ser- ies was played at Floral Park. Coach Gagliano looking the boys over during a scrimmage Westbury ....,,A. l 8 Chaminade ...,. 7 Top Row: W. Walsh, W. Miller, E.

Keenan Sewanhaka Turns Back Flyers in Season's Inaugural, 'I2-0 lnexperience began to assert itself from the very beginning. The lndians from Floral Park flashed a highly effective offense led by Ken Germann, Walter Pfeffer, and Ed Parks, Germann scored in the opening period when he took a lateral pass from a team-mate and trotted fifteen yards over the goal. The second tally came late in the last quarter on a plunge through left tackle by Distler. Although much of the play was deep in Sewanhaka's territory, the Flyers failed to capitalize on any opportunities. Most of their threats came in the way of forward passes. The game ended I2-O in favor of Sewanhaka. Hard-Charging Cadets from Oakdale Trim Flyers at Mineola, 20-0 Sparked by Jim Schwartzinger, talented triple-threat half-back, LaSalle Military Academy trimmed a stubborn Chaminade eleven 20 to O in the latter's first home game of the season. The Cadets, rated as one of Long lsland's mightiest, had a slight weight advantage over the home lads, and as the game progressed the superiority began to take its toll. Following a scoreless first quarter, La Salle Qot a break to punch over a touchdown be- fore the second period was three minutes spent when an alert lineman recovered Moylan's fumble on the Flyer's six-yard line. On second down, Schwartzinger scampered round right end for six points. A few minutes later, this some back ripped loose round right end and raced fifty-five yards behind perfect interference for the second touchdown. Late in the final quarter the Cadets scored another to bring their total to 20. They converted for two markers. Chaminade Holds a Heralded Lawrence Team to a Scareless Tie under Lights Playing under lights for the first time in Chaminade's football history, the Flyers put on a great exhibition of offensive and defensive football to the complete bewilderment of the Law- rence eleven. From the Top Row: N. Schlichtig, L. Boegel, W. Powers, A. Smith, J. Strockbein. Znd Row: W. McCarron, G. Hoffmann, F. Scherr, A. Ebel, A. Pardee, R. Stou- ges, V. McGinley, J. Regan. lst Raw: J.

Lawrence was forced to kick to midfield from where the Flyers made their first real bid when Miller faded back and fired a thirty-yard pass into the arms of Captain Johnson on the opponent's l4-yard stripe. On second down, the Mineola lads employing a deceptive double reverse with Bill Johnson again carrying the ball smashed down to the four. But four consecutive downs left the pigskin resting a scant four inches short of the enemy's goal line. lmmediately Law- rence punted out of danger and prevented the Flyers from entering the scoring zone for the remainder of the first half. With one exception, the home lads from Lawrence never pene- trated farther into Chaminade's territory than the 20-yard line. lt was the best played game of the season for the wearers of the Crimson and Gold. Hicksville Bows to Invoding Flyers for the Latter's First Victory, 'l2-0 On the fourth Saturday of October, the Chaminade Varsity broke into the win column at the expense of the Orange and Black from Hicksville. With the exception of a desperate thrust in the final quarter, Hicksville was on the defensive during the entire afternoon. Mean- while, the Mineola Flyers kept knocking at the enemy's goal line and succeeded to chalk up a score on two occasions, one in the second on a pass from Miller to Johnson and another in the fourth quarter on Premo's fifty-yard interception of a forward pass. Premo, incidentally, made long gains through tackle and on reverses all afternoon. His performance counted for the Flyer's l2-O victory.

On third down Miller passed to Johnson for a touchdown. A Doss, Miller to Madigan, put the Flyers ahead, 7-6. But the Green and Gold came back late the same quar- ter and settled the issue with another touchdown in the final quarter to make the total l8-7. Chaminade Holds Sewanhaka Scoreless in Return Game on Election Day For nearly an hour-and-a-half the Flyers and the Indians from Floral Park ploughed up and down the muddy Chaminade Bowl to no avail. The Floral Parkers, decided pre-game fav- orites, played the entire last half with their backs to the wall. Were it not for the slippery con- dition of the field, the Flyers might have scored on at least two occasions. Once Koegler at left end and then Callaghan through center slipped after they had gotten out in the clear. The deadlock tightened the series for both schools at four all. Hempstead Tigers Triumph in the Final Tussle of the 1938 Campaign, 12-0 A cold and cloudy November morning provided a fitting shroud for the finale of the l938 season at Hempstead Field on Thanksgiving Day. A gallant battle against the Blue and White hosts of Hempstead became only a futile gesture after the Tiger began roaring. Their victor- ious demonstration came late in the final quarter. Until then, the Flyer defense functioned effectively. Kiesacker scored the first tally when he and Hisbrady worked that Statue of Liberty play to the Chaminade twenty-nine. On second down, the former raced to the one-yard stripe. Here the Flyers held for three downs. Then, Kiesacker blasted his way through left guard for the score. A little while later, Hisbrady circled right end for another score, making it l2-O. Crimson and Gold Sixty-nine Carlino Flyers in a pre-game huddle for prayer. R. Dillon 1407, W. Johnson l22l, J.

Starting off slowly, the Crimson and Gold hoopsters began to gather momentum with every game, and the end of the season found them riding the crest of a seven game winning streak. To start with, Coach Gagliano had some fine experienced material on hand in the persons of Miller, Dolan, and Madigan. ln addition to these men, he- also had some promising pros- pects in Biddick and McGrath, the former an ex-Jayvee star with an excellent reputation and the latter a sophomore sensation with the Jayvee team of '37. Because of injuries, McGrath was forced to remain on the sidelines until the following year. ln the Varsity games, the Coach substituted his first-stringers with the converted first-string Jayvee five to give his start- ing lineup a rest. ln this capacity, the substitutes did yeoman work. This formidable array of stars set a number of records, many of which will stand for some time. Among other things, the Flyers possessed a high scoring machine that surpassed the mark recorded by any of its predecessors. ln all, they amassed a total of 569 points. This coupled with an almost impregnable defense that yielded but 4l2 points to the opponents made the Flyers a formid- able foe on the court. ln the race for individual honors in scoring records, the title went to Chuck Dolan, right forward, who registered 6l goals and 22 fouls for a total of l44, topping the previous high set by Haggerty three years ago. Jack McGrath, the other forward, came second with SO goals and l6 foul tosses for ll6 points. Biddick, Madigan, and Miller followed in order with totals of 85, 67, and 64. Jayvee men who were given a Varsity berth midway in the season included Darcy and Powers at forward, Clabby at center, and Mee and Staudt at guard. Were it East Rockaway ......... 20 Chaminade Madigan lLeftl and Clabby lRightl set for the Coach's whistle not for their brilliant performance in uti- lity roles, the Varsity would not have been able to win as impressively. The few games the Flyers did lose were due to the lack of reserve strength in the front ranks. Recognition is also due to the Cham- Seventy-three Top Row: W. Miller, J.

The first fifteen games went along without a blemish on the record books, but a scrappy five from East Rockaway reversed the score in the final encounter. The result was a surprising 35-l9 defeat. These scrappy Junior Flyers also boasted a powerful offensive, garnering a total of 573 points in sixteen contests while limiting the opposition to 342. Rutledge, McKenna, Murray, Callahan, and Eble were the starting five. lt was their customary task of running up a safe margin and then letting the second team go in for a little experience. This was true of the first few games of the season. But soon the second and third quintets gave evidence of being able to take care of themselves. The score kept mount- ing and mounting, so that the outcome of these Jayvee games was never in doubt. All three teams played beautifully and showed great promise for Varsity competition in future. Rutledge and McKenna were top scorers, the former putting in 23 markers against Se- wanhaka and I9 against Hempstead, the latter registering 2O points against St. Dominics. From every angle of the game, these two steadied the team's offensive and defensive tactics. Flyer rooters witnessed something novel in the style of play employed by the Crimson and Gold hoopsters. The Coach had trained his chargers in working the ball to the basket for a lay-up shot, usually advancing to the bucket on a fast-break. These fast-breaks featured the Flyer attack. After the official season had closed, the Varsity was entered in the Catholic School Tournament at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Brooklyn, They drew St, Nicholas of Tolen- tino as a starter. The game ended 27-24 with the Brooklyn team coming out on top. The boys from Mineola never really got started in their customary fashion. Although they led dur- ing the first few minutes of play, they were not able to keep up their pace. Dolan was off form during the first half. When he did put on a spurt in the final quar- ter, the opponents were fairly well assured of a victory. However, in the foul shooting contest held a week later, March l9, Biddick suc- ceeded in coming out second to win a trophy. Top Row: C. Cunningham, R. Collins, B. Rut- ledge, T. Mangan, J.

Sewanhoka-Hempstead From the beginning of time, man has been interested in corn- May zo south side-Lynbmok petition. In foot racing he has found an excellent medium for competing with his fellow-man. Since then, track has become an MW 27 he Nassau c fe'e 'e Mae' organized sport and its followers as enthusiastic as they are in other athletic programs. Since the inauguration of athletics at Chaminade, the Flyers have always had a repre- sentative squad in track. Since the first contingent of athletes trotted out on the cinder path, they have carried with them that tradition always associated with the spirit of Chaminade. Each spring, track has had its group of runners to carry on the achievements of the Flyers. The team that carried the Crimson and Gold colors last year unfurled its banners on a new summit-an undefeated season. Overcoming all opponents, the Flyers were the best in the history of the school. To their,record ofa perfect finish in all dual meets they added the Nas- sau County Conference title at the close of the season. But a surprise blanket of snow delayed the opening When the i938 campaign opened, it listed Hicksville as the first opponent on April ll. meet to the following week. ln this in- itial run of the season, the chargers of Bro. Herman, S.M., their Coach, piled up enough first places to win handily, 49-28. Westbury came along next and apparently succumbed to superstition, for on April the Thirteenth they went down to defeat, 64-l3. Following them on April 27, East Rockaway trailed after the final event of the day, 59-l3. The dashmen then jour- neyed to Oakdale and were hard-pressed to win over the LaSalle cadets, 49-46. Taking their breath more easily after that close one, the Crimson and Gold trackmen vanquished the Hempstead Tigers, 63-l7, Freeport, Sl-26, and Sewanhaka, 69-26. The latter concluded the dual meets for the year and left Chaminade on an even rating with the best in the County. Then came the Conference and County meets in quick succession. ln the Conference Meet, the boys lit- erally 'went to town.' Overpowering a field of eight schools, they emerged vic- torious to bring to Chaminade the first Conference Track title. Four of the con- testants were crowned champs in their events.

The half-mile relay team consisting of .loe Goetz, Bob Frawley, George Cridland, and Bill Luckas also turned in a record performance for the meet, running the event in l 33.9. Their mark was only one-tenth second behind the Long lsland track record. On June 3, the Flyers participated in the Nassau County Meet at Port Washington. Al- though the day dawned bright and sunny, rain began to fall steadily at about noon to make running conditions anything but ideal. But despite the handicap of poor weather, Chaminade was able to stay with the leaders, and toward the latter part of the contest there was a close battle between Chaminade, Baldwin and Freeport. With the title at stake, all interest was centered on the two deciding events-the relay and high-jump. When the Flyers romped home in the relay there was heightened enthusiasm among the followers of the Crimson. But it was short-lived. Chaminade's entrant was eliminated early from the jumping pit, Freeport going on to win, with Baldwin second, and the Flyers third. The only consolation the Flyers had was the satisfaction of being victorious in seventeen consecutive dual meets. Track Preparations Begin Early in Winter and Close with Indoor Meets The trackmen of l938-l939 may better their predecessors because of the early start of their practice sessions. These began early last December. Indoor meets in Brooklyn and Man- hattan gave the runners some needed experience. ln none of these meets did the Flyers take any prizes. Generally the field was too large, and a runner had to be very good to be able to get out in front and keep the lead, Still the squad did come up to expectation. It proved it- self capable in many of the events only to lose out because of inexperience in a big field of entries. The meets in which the Flyers took part were: the De LaSalle Meet, the National Scho- lastic Meet, and the Stuy- vesant lnvitation. Gorman, Kane, Cridland, Bonifer, Ns Kraemer, and Juster were the principal performers 3 I 1 g t, Top Row: D. Stock, T. Lee, E, Huber Q' H. Beudert, D. Graham, R. Eldridge C. Seeman, G. Hoffman, E.

When the last of these had been run early in March, the weather was just about right for outdoor practice. Bro. Herman Keck, S.M., track mentor, made the offi- cial call for candidates the last week of March. From then on, the Flyers were down to a reg- ular routine. Veterans To Carry Majority of Events in Another Successful Season The l939 schedule will find many veterans carrying the colors in the various events. Joe Kane and Gene Huber will take care of the IOO yard dash. In the 220, yard sprint, Jack Moy- lan and Dick McAleese should make a good showing. The 440 yard run has capable runners in George Cridland, Ray Eldridge, Paul Hogarty, and Robert Dillon. George Cridland, winner in all dual meets last season, should hang up a few new records before the track campaign closes. The half-mile run is well taken care of by Don Gorman, Marty Bonifer, and Ed Tierney, This year the veteran Don Gorman should never be pressed in a meet. With Gesslein of Mineola out of the running of the l939 meets, Don should have the field pretty well to himself. The same thing is true of the miler, Al Kraemer. At that distance, he will be ably assisted by Don Juster, Jim Keenan, Dan Graham, and Chuck Dolan. A new quartet will represent the Flyers in the half-mile relay. lt consists of Dan McAleese, Joe Kane, Jack Moylan, and Fred Whelan. Dan McAIeese and Fred Whelan are newcomers, it is true, but they have shown enough in the winter competition to assure the veterans, Kane and Moylan, ofa dependable assistance in the passing of the baton. Hugh Beudert will be back to throw the shot, with J. McGinley and Frank Barnes on hand to learn the technique. The old-timers, Fred Wendt, Jack Moylan, and .lack Clabby will be available for the high-jump. Fred Wendt and Jack Moylan are expected to clear the bar at six feet if their promise of last year's performance comes true.

Hoffman will continue their good work in the low hurdles. That about includes the principal performers for the Flyers on cinder path this year. Opposition This Season Will Bring Closer Competition to the Flyers With the addition of LaSalle and Valley Stream to this year's schedule, the Flyers have taken two strong competitors in running and field events. Last year, both schools were known for their remarkable records. Having won national recognition with its mile-relay team and possessing a formidable squad in every department of the sport, LaSalle is expected to pro- vide the strongest opposition to the Flyers in the initial meet of the season. Valley Stream, on the other hand, will be something of a surprise team. Two years ago, they were leaders on the Island, and it may not be far from the truth to expect them to come back strong this year. It may be fortunate that the Crimson's events against the Streamers will be the first contest of the year. The Flyers' experience may be the deciding factor in the outcome between these two schools. Two Triangular Meets Appear on the Flyers' Current Schedule Triangular engagements in track are something of a novelty for the followers of Chami- nade. Sewanhaka and Hempstead will be the two alternates on May l6, and South Side and Lynbrook will pair off against the Flyers on May 20. It will be close to the end of the season when these two features are run, and the supporters of the Crimson and Gold will be in for a real thrill. There seems to be no reason why the Flyers should disappoint anyone. Crimson and Gold Seventy-mn 95' el g Qfiw 5 Aglyg A Q.

Herman Keck, S.M., Coach, talking things over after the 1938 Conference Title Track meets were excellent exhibitions of thrills and keen competition. Joe Ferguson recaptured many of the thrilling moments with his candid camera. At the same time that the past record is recalled in some of these photos, Flyer fans have further assurances of what the veteran runners are doing and will do this season.

Only four regulars remained from last year's roster. Gene Cunningham and Jack McGrath were back at their favorite infield positions, while Hugh Biddick and Bill Miller took to their posts in the outfield. Upon these four holdovers from the i938 season, Coach Gagliano placed his hopes for a creditable nine. Cunningham and McGrath would carry the defense burden with their capable work in the infield, the former at first base and the latter at short- stop. Biddick and Miller were to contribute their share in the slugging department ofthe game. To complete a starting nine, the Coach could choose from such reserves as Dave Darcy and 'Perry' Mee, a duet of inexperienced but promising infielders, Red Delaney, a hard-hitting out- fielder who gained his majzr-C in baseball as a Freshman, Stan Premo, a reliable catcher al- ways willing to work, and Bob Windsor, the only hopeful slab artist availcble. From cmong these had to be picked talent to replace Wright, King, Malone, and Busta, the keymen of the season previous. Coach Gagliano showing A. Pardee a few twists o-n the old apple The lO55 of Sl-lch Cl 5l'ellUl' l3Off6l'Y 05 Malone's pitching and Wright's catching was hard to remedy. Stan Premo looked to be suitable behind the bat but Magner's work during practice seemed to shade the chances of the former. Bob Windsor had good control and a better than average curve but his fast ball did not pack enough speed to win consistently. Some- one had to be found who could peg the old apple. Al Pardee, a heavy-set Junior, had plenty of speed though he still needed a lot of limbering up to acquire control. These two, together with Bill Carr, an- other newcomer, should be able to ac- commodate the Flyer's pitching demands. lt is often said that to have a good team, it is necessary to have good men in the 'middle' position. By the 'middle' is meant the pitcher, catcher, second base- man and centerfielder. At these places the Crimson tossers are pretty well outfitted by capable veterans and a few recruits. It seems that the presence of McGarth, Miller, Biddick, and Cunningham, will bolster the team sufficiently to make the season tolerably successful. McGinley, R. Pittfield, G. Ruppel, R. Wind sor, E. Huber lt is unfortunate that the late close of the baseball season makes it impossible to review the actual results ot each game. l-lowever, a brief analysis of preliminary outlook may prove interesting. Flyers Will Open Season Against Andrew Jackson of Queens Andrew Jackson, always a strong opponent for the Flyers, will launch the scholastic league ot the Mineola school on April l7. A fast-growing rivalry is budding out of last year's excit- ing 4 to l triumph by Chaminade. At least six of the nine men who played against the Flyers in the initial game between the two schools will be primed to turn the tables against the Crimson and Gold. This was probably the best played game in l938, and the fellows again hope to be 'on' against the St. Albans' team. Long Beach, Great Neck, and Sewanhaka Follow in Short Order Then comes a game with the Walshmen from Long Beach on April l9. Out of the two contests played last season, the records show an even score, each team having won one. On April Zl, Great Neck, a newcomer in baseball, will be guest at the Chaminade stadium. Al- though Chaminade has met the North Shore school in other sports, this is the first time the two will meet on the diamond. lf the competition is the same as it has been in other sports, then the Flyers will be in for a busy afternoon. Next comes Sewanhaka, Chaminade's great- est rival. In the past, the indians have enjoyed a tremendous success winning both games last year. But the Flyers will be in there trying to overcome the added threat that a veteran oppon- ent always brings on. Great Neck Repeats, and East Rockaway Renews Old Rivalry Now the Flyers travel for two games, one with Great Neck on April 26,the other with East Rockaway on May l. By this time, the Flyers will know the attack of the North Shore school. As for East Rockaway, the boys from Mineola remem- ber what the 'Rocks' did in evening the series a year ago. In the first game, the i K Top Row: D. Terzi, G. Ruppel, . smear, ic. cqnifaeid, E. Cunningham, l W. Johnson, J, McGinley. 2nd Row: A. Pardee, R. Pittfield, R. Windsor, W. S, Delaney, W. Powers, D.

Pardee, J Eighty-tour Flyers won handily 9-2. The second game saw a complete reversal of form with Rock- away piling up an overwhelm- ing i8-6 total. This seems to prove that records do not mean much when rivals get together. It is to be expected that the Flyers will be very careful in their encounter with the 'Rocks' this season. Tigers Come to Mineola On May 5, Chaminade takes on its most important game of the campaign. Hempstead is always a 'natural' Though the school puts out fine teams in every sport, its baseball ros- ter seems to achieve unusual results. Only a few years ago the Tigers boasted an eight- een-game winning streak, And so the Flyers are naturally on the alert when it comes to the series with Hempstead. Chami- nade is anxious to shake off the jinx that has been hanging on for the past two years. St. Poul's, o Newcomer The home lads return to the local stadium on May l2 to in- augurate athletic relations with St, Paul's of Garden City. lt is the hope of both schools that this will be the begin- ning of a spirited rivalry be- tween the two institutions. In the record books, the Saints have a good reputation and it seems that the return of some star performers in the early spring workouts will give the Flyers something to worry a- bout when 'play ball' is an- nounced for the contest. Wolshmen and Indians Follow Next the Flyers go on the road to meet Long Beach on May I 7 and Sewanhaka on May l9. By this time the home nine should be in top playing form and the former outcome be- tween the two opponents should make these return contests particularly interesting, espec- ially the game with the Floral Park Indians who always pro- vide a big turnout at the gate. Flyers Continue with Lynbrook On May 23 Chaminade plays at Lynbrook where the Flyers took a 6-l verdict in '38, The Owls have a veteran team again this season but the Gag- liano-coached roster hopes to enjoy another victory at the expense of the Brookers. lf the twirlers can keep pace with the regular assignments, the Min- eola lads should be able to realize their ambition. St. Paul's Comes for Second Still on the road, Chami- nade meets St. Paul's on May 3l. By this time, the Flyers will know what to expect from the Saints. Since it is difficult to make any predictions about the outcome, the loyal rooters will have to string along with the teams themselves and see what happens. Flyers Turn to Westbury Westbury will be host to the Flyers on June 2. ln the past, Chaminade has enjoyed remarkable success over the Green and Gold. Only once have the Westbury players pre- vailed against the Flyers. At present, it is rumored that the opponents have been hard hit through graduation. Coach Gagliano, then, should find a little comfort in this fact. Crimson and Gold Crimson and Gold Mighty Lawrence at Home Perhaps the home dia- mond will enable the Flyers to retaliate the no-hit, no-run verdict chalked against them by Lawrence last year. It will be remembered that Joe Beal, who did the scoreless pitching in the l2-O contest last sea- son, graduated last summer. ln the game on June 5, the Flyers will have on opportunity to do a little avenging if the power at the plate holds out. 'Rocks' Will Close Season Unless East Rockaway re- peats the slugging triumph of the past campaign, the Flyers will conclude a fairly good sea- son on the diamond. By then, the Coach might have discov- ered a few promising pitchers. At any rate, Chaminade fol- lowers can look forward to a representative nine on the dia- mond. Looking Into the Records Since Coach Gagliano is entering upon his first year as Coach of Varsity baseball, it may be interesting to analyze Chaminade's own record in this national sport. The Coach him- self looked up the pages of past history and came up with the following: l 932 Chaminade Won 8, Lost 6 i933 Chaminade Won Lost 3 I 934 Chaminade Won , Lost 8 i935 Chaminade Won , Lost 6 i936 Chaminade Won , Lost 9 i937 Chaminade Won , Lost 6 l938 Chaminade Won , Lost 8 A summary of the above record gives the Flyers a better than .500 average. And that is where the Coach has placed the objective for this spring. Regardless of small numbers and a lack of veteran pitchers, he believes the Flyers can do as well as last year's nine did. lt will be remembered that the roster of a Year ago also de- veloped slowly. The Coach be- lieves, furthermore, that the early arrival of warm weather will aid the boys in getting the necessary practice. The record of l939 will verify the Coach's prophecy in this re- spect.

The only blem- ishes were the no-hit contest with Lawrence and the top scores by Long Beach, East Rockaway, and Hempstead. On the strength of these results, the sports editor of the Crimson and Gold was able to guide his pre-season analysis of the Flyers on the diamond. lf he has come close in his pre- dictions, he will feel content in having done his job well. On the other hand, if he fails, he will have bettered the long list of football prognosticators to the tape. lt's their virtue to guess wrongly. Eighty-five Top Row: J. Gormley, J. Noonan, J.

Martin, L. Connor, J. Callaghan, J. Brosseau, J. Mangini, J. Creed, R. Malone Reviewing Freshman Moneuvers in High School Athletics Freshmen sports were more successful this year than in the past. Most prominent was the achievement of the basketball quintet. In the sixteen-game schedule only three losses were chalked against the yearlings. In the remaining thirteen victories such schools as Woodmere, Sewanhaka, and Westbury fell victims to the fast-stepping proteges of Bro. Richard Moenich, S.M. Notable performers among the hoopsters were: Magner, Graham, Peguillan, Daly, Hogar- ty, Corrigan, and Jackowski. The team organized in order to prepare a few of the more promising athletes among them for Varsity competition. The boys generally practiced in the afternoon before the Varsity took to the floor. ln addition to this, they also met on Saturdays to do a little shooting and pass- ing. After the regular season had closed, the regulars among the Freshies played a few games with the champion intramural fives and gave a good account of themselves in each exhibition. Bro. Richard, their coach, predicts great things for the future. Football, on the other hand, was not conducted in an organized way. There were no games with other schools. Since equipment was on hand, the Freshmen went through a little drilling in tackling and blocking. They did play a few intramural games with a pick-up sophomore team, but the older boys always managed to put over a few extra touchdowns. ln all Freshman sports, Bro. Richard Moenich, SM., took care of coaching duties. He be- lieved that a knowledge of the basic principles of both basketball and football was essential to every newcomer in high school. And so it happened, that each day he would spend about an hour and a half with these recruits drilling them in essentials. Many of them learned very quickly and all showed a keen determination to get ahead. And so, another Freshy squad passes on to replace the vacancies that every graduation makes in the Varsity ranks.

Clabby, E. Staudt Presenting the Two Intramural Basketball Champions Basketball was again the favorite sport in intramural competition, the other being track which came so far to the end of the year that it is impossible to treat it in this summary. ln basketball, however, each class had its own team, with the lower classes grouped in a Junior Loop and the upper classes comprising the Senior Loop. There were six teams in either di- vision. Junior A-l and Sophomore B-l finished respectively in the Senior and Junior depart- ments. Oddly enough, the two leagues finished in about the same way, each winner being only one game ahead of its closest rival, Neither winner lost a game, The Champion Sopho- mores had a roster that included: Mangan, Beaudine, McKenna, Cunningham, and Callag- han. The victorious Juniors had Clabby, Darcy, Mee, Hart, Staudt, and Collins. The remaining teams in either league ended the season in the following way: In the Jun- ior Division, Sophomores A-l lost one game, Freshman B-l lost 2, Freshman A-l lost 3, Sopho- more A-2 lost 4, and Freshman A-2 lost 5. Among the Seniors, Senior A-l lost l, Junior B-l lost 2, Senior B-l lost 3, Junior A-2 lost 4, and Senior A-2 lost 5. It will be noticed that the progression of wins and losses ran parallel for either group. But the winners in each bracket had little trouble in sweeping on to victory. Senior A-l were the only threat to Junior A-l, Sophomore A-l did not quite threaten the league-leading Sophomore B-l. Above results came at the close of the tournament in December. In March there was an- other shorter play-off series. This time, Sophomore A-2 lost 4, and Freshman A-2 lost 5. In the play-off match, Junior B-2 emerged the champion. As this Crimson and Gold was going to the press early last April, announcement was just being made for the Inter-Class Track Relays, annual events here at Chaminade. This report plus the basketball contests that have always been popular supplement the regular physical training per- iod in the school's intramural sport program. Junior Champs: T. Mangan, C.Cunningham, J. Murray, E. McKenna, P. Callahan, F. Beaudine Senior Champs: R. Collins, D. Darcy, J. Mee Eighty-eight Opportunity was also offered us to acquaint ourselves socially. This formed the third phase of our education. By taking part in some extra-curricular activity, some club in the school, or some hobby, we became more thoroughly ac- quainted with each other. Some of us showed qualities of leadership and according- ly we found ourselves directing the progress of some organiza- tion. Under such circumstances we were interpreting in a very practical way the principle of leadership symbolized in the Gold. lt was the proving ground of our education. Would we be able to assert ourselves among men? Would we be able to influence others, to lead others? These clubs are very essential to the life of a student. They train him to personal responsibility and offer him an opportunity to work on his own resources. The majority of the clubs at Chaminade are self-sustaining. Members must be able to meet expenses and show progress through their own initiative, the school coming to their assistance only when need arises. Besides catering to the specific interests of the group directly concerned with the activity, the club contributes to the well-being of the student body. By reading the write- ups that describe each group, it will be noted the manner in which each assists the school at large. Furthermore, it frequently happens that members of these clubs develop an interest that is the beginning of their vocation. There are numerous examples of students who have begun their careers in the Radio Club, the Bio Club, etc. Finally, these organization attach students more close- ly to the school. They realize more deeply the interdepend- ence between faculty and students. They appreciate the inter- est the faculty has in these clubs and gradually they begin to understand the whole-hearted devotedness of the spirit that has moulded them. Chaminade stands for definite ac- quirements. These extra-curricular activities are concrete manifestations of these acquirements. The following pages show what has been accomplished by these groups.

The mothers generally consult the faculty members about the progress of their boy, at the same time that they also assist in furthering the extra-curricular activi- ties. Their numerous card parties and socials of the past season have aided the school tre- mendously. ln consequence of this financial support, the band, the Tarmac, the Radio Club -all the extra-curricular groups, in fact-have been able to progress and expand. Foremost among the social events of the club were the Card Party in October held jointly with the Fathers' Club and the luncheon last spring. In addition to this there were many smaller card parties in the way of Community Parties sponsored by mothers In various villages Socials of this kind were held in Queens Village Hempstead Hollls Val ley Stream etc These Community Partnes were an innovation over the regular monthly gatherings of other years The entire program of activities ended wuth the second Luncheon In May At all these events the co operation of the group was outstanding Much of the success of the Club was due to the numerous commit Bwrd Of Dfrectofs OSSISNHQ the Mothers Club tees that worked so zealously Officers of the Club were Mrs T A Goetz President Mrs J Staudt Vice President Mrs J W Johnson Treasurer Mrs J Nolan Recording Secre tary Mrs T A Wallace Corresponding Secretary and Mrs J Conway, Financial Secretary Ninety A group of parents during one of the monthly meetings 1 . . , . . , 1 1 1 ' , 1 - - 1 , . .

Fathers' Club Worked Untiringly Every activity conducted by the Fathers' Club during the past year emphasized the close relation- i ship existing between the fathers and their sons at- P 'e '5 Comulllng 'OCUHY dwlng G m0 'h'Y meenng tending Chaminade. The Club originated for this pur- pose. lts achievements during the last two semesters are proof that the aims of the Club have been met. Officers for the year just completed were: Mr. D. Joseph Guiney, President,Mr. Frank Lasar,Vice Pres- ident, Mr. Henry J. Loester, Treasurer, Mr. John Conway, Recording Secretary, Mr. Walter Doyle, Cor- responding Secretary, and Mr. J. P. McEwen, Finan- cial Secretary. Meetings took place every second Monday of the month in the school gym. ln December, the Football Banquet tendered to the Varsity squad was the first great event of the Club. 'Sid' Luckman of Columbia, one of the great honored guests of the evening, was made honorary member of the Fathers' Club. This was the first time that such a recognition had been con- ferred by the Fathers. Preceding the banquet by a month, the Card Party scored another grand success for both the Fathers' and Mothers' Clubs who collaborated in this great social event of the year. The Val- entine Dance in February afforded a gay evening for parents and sons alike. At the Father and Son Communion Breakfast in March, the religious bond between father and son was stressed. The entire program of activities was appropriately climaxed by the June Field Day where the whole family participated and enjoyed its fill of race events, athletic contests, and thrills. The annual grudge battle between faculty and fathers featured in the day's riot of hilarity and fun. In every way, the Club has consistently upheld the , interests of Father and Son.

Perko, S.M. The grades scored in this ex- amination determined the staff for the new yearbook. Accordingly the following members were selected: Thomas Cowley, Editor-in-Chief, Arthur Sauvigne, Managing Editor, Charles Carl- son, Associate Editor, Sports Editor, Frank Kunkel, Mathew Murray, James Whelan, William Smith, John Moylan, John McGrath, William Johnson, and Thomas Fitzpatrick, Staff Members. Within three weeks after the staff had been picked, all articles had been completed. Each contributor mode himself responsible for the coverage allotted to him. ln this way, it was possible to begin early with the actual printing of the book. The metallic inks used in this year's Crimson and Gold demanded an early start with the printer. By April l the entire dummy was ready. The financial support of the yearbook was shared by the entire student body. As other years, the underclassmen cooperated splendidly. Seniors had many competitors in their own ranks, paced by such leaders os Harry Crook and Matthew Murray. ln every respect the mutual assistance of the entire student body made the l939 editing pleasant. The additional work involved was only secondary in contrast to the financial demands that are always essential in edi- ting a yearbook. Both staffs are deeply appreciative. C. Carlson, R.

Pardee, R. O'Heir, J. Doni Students who would stress religion in their lives both in theory and practice become members ot the Sodality. Under the auspices of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Sodality has functioned at Chaminade as a very necessary organization. Sodalists assert their leadership through the various pro- grams they undertake. This year there were three distinct units: the Juniors and Seniors, the Sophomores, and the Freshmen. Each carried its own peculiar kind of activity. The Juniors and Seniors formed the CORA lCommittee On Religious Aftairsl. Each week they met several times during the noon study period to discuss topics, prepare bulletins, or prepare some campaign among the student body. Once a week they edited the Religious Bulletin outlining the principal religious events of the week, parish notes, and the like. At Christmas time, they conducted a food drive for the poor. More than l3OO cans were collected and distributed by the committee. ln the Sophomore division, the principal activity pivoted about the C.l.C., Catholic ln- formation Club. Clippings of pictures, news-items from leading Catholic Newspapers and magazines were assembled on large placards by its members and posted on the bulletin boards once a week. The principal focus of attack was Communism. Among the Freshmen, the meetings consisted of informal talks and group discussions. These were called to order once a week. Towards the end of the year, reading of pamphlets was emphasized. The Sodalists have, in a very positive way, intensified a religious outlook among the students. This leadership is a part of that extensive program of Catholic Action stressed by the hierarchy everywhere. Chaminade stresses it too. Top Row:J. Fahey, W. Ryan, J. W. Lynch, K. McCaffrey, F.

Mclnerney putting books ba k on the shelves as part of their routine Librarians Did Their Work Well Library service has become a greater necessity at Chaminade since the inauguration of the reading program in the English departments during the past year. To facilitate the handling of books, a corps of assistants was marshalled for duty. Dan Hartnett and James Brewi were the two veteranswho helped put the newcomers through their paces. Each wasassigned a task by the head librarian, Bro. John A. Perko, S.M. The newcomers included Howard Palmer,JamesBrady, Matthew Murray, Thomas Mclnerney, and Raymond Librarians during a lull. Standing: D. Hartnett, R. Lynch, H, Palmer. Kneeling: M. Murray Lynch' The usual routine of library work consisted of checking books and returning them to the shelves. This was generally done in the morning when there were not many patrons in the library. In the afternoon, twice a week, the books were rearranged properly on the shelves. Once a month, the old magazines would be packed in their proper place in the stack-room in the center of the balcony. Occasionally old books would be rebound. Then the staff would be busy pasting new pockets on the inside cover and inserting new date cards. Bro. George McKenzie, S.M., the assistant librarian, supervised this work. ln the numerous tasks that confronted them, the student librarians showed themselves competent in maintaining order and cleanliness. From the viewpoint of reading interest and browsing appeal, the library could hardly have been more accommodating. Club membership in the Junior Literary Guild, the Catholic Book of the month, the Spiritual Reading Series, and the Bruce Catholic Culture Series offered the students the best of contemporary writing. More than thirty different magazines catered to various kinds of readers. ln order to stimulate greater interest in periodicals, magazines were allowed to be drawn by a day-card. Furthermore, familiarity with books and library technique was fostered by occasional class trips through the li- brary during the English period. The majority of students have enjoyed the friendship that has been made with books. Top Row: H. Palmer, J. Brady, M. Murray. lst Row: F. Brewi, T. Mcln- erney, R. Lynch, D. Hartnett Crimson and Gold Bandmen Injected Spirit with Music For the past two years, the band under the masterly direction of Mr. John Farnan has advanced steadily as an accomplished musical unit among high school musicians of Long Island. Patiently and masterfully has its director trained the instrumentalists not only in marches and victory medlies but in the more elaborate symphonic num- bers as well. T' Dwyer J. Petrie RA Brown and R Brunel Exhibitions to the publicnwere of two kinds, the ' ' ' ' rhythmic marches during athletic contests and the classic favorites during the spring concert. At all these events, the band was conspicuous not only for its instrumental technique but also for its colorful appearance in the crimson and gold uni- forms. lt is difficult to associate any Chaminade event without the band. The boys performed during football rallies, at football games, during assemblies, at bas- ketball games, at banquets, and at graduation, During the summer months, the entire march- ing unit participated at public rallies and parades. The band has been scheduled to appear at regular intervals during the World's Fair. Last year, their performance in the Diocesan music competition among Catholic Schools won for them a first-class rating among high school bands. A silver cup and a permanent pla- que were awarded the unit. The contest was held at Town l-lall in New York, the prizes were awarded in the Centre Theatre by Jessica Dragonette. At this latter gathering, the entire band appeared on the immense theatre stage and played a special number for the occasion. This year, the group has been practicing diligently for the same competition. The Egmont Overture by Beethoven has been selected as the prize piece in the contest. But because of the early publication of this Crimson and Gold, it is impossible to list here the results of the contest. Since the origin of this musical ensemble, the school has been fortunate in having a con- stant number of competent musicians among its members. Incoming Freshmen usually swell the Top Row: J.

However, the new talent develops quickly and Mr. Farnan has little difficulty in making replacements. Practice sessions have been held three times each week. During the busy playing season, there were two full rehearsals and one sectional rehearsal weekly. But in the second semester, when the newcomers generally present themselves, there was only one general session weekly to accommodate the new talent the other two oc- casions. The band is conspicuous for the perseverance with which its members devote themselves to practice. Re- hearsals never close before 5:30 in the evening, after which the majority of its members take their instruments home for additional drill in private. Because of this patient and constant attention demanded of them, bandmen are among the select few to receive a major-C as a reward for their efforts. ln the extensive preparations that are necessary to make a group of young musicians per- form creditably, great leadership is expected of the director. ln Mr. Farnan the boys had a great leader. He brought out the finer points in music by relentless repetition of passages until the desired effect was produced. The players esteemed him because he was able to maintain interest and enthusiasm among them. Besides the group performances, he would single out the more skillful for solo performances. Hence there was added enthusiasm as each tried to outdo the other to gain special recognition. Among these special performers were John Brant on the trombone, Philip Holzberger on the oboe, William Track on the cor- net, and Charles Keil on the piccolo. Mr. Farnan arranged his rehearsals and public appearance with the assistance of Bro. Joseph Mervar, S.M., the music supervisor. Together they schemed and planned for a more efficient and more extensive Chaminade band. Their efforts have been well repaid. The band has received recognition, the student body has learned to appreciate good music, and the musicians themselves have acquired that persevering attitude which is the condition of every great attainment. lace, D.

With the recent recognition of the Institute as the New York Academy of Science, interest in the Club's activities will soar even higher. The biologists met with their first success in l937 when they built a minia- ture city near a river to show the pollution of water. 'The Unseen Donger', as the project was called, won two prizes at the exhibit held in the American Museum of Natural History. At the next exhibit the following year, they won -- an honorable mention with Oscar, a human model in plaster.

Some of these photographers were busy the whole year round taking snapshots of teams and individuals with a view of supplying a wide selec- tion of prints for the yearbook. The majority of the members of the Club worked from January on and met weekly to discuss the progress of their activity. Membersip was entirely voluntary. Each partici- pant used his own instrument, developed his own film, and took pictures in collaboration with the needs of the moderator of the Club, Bro. John A. Perko, S. M. To supplement their work on a larger scale, the annual Camera Contest was opened among the stu- dents early in January and closed March 20. Lucas 6' Pritchard, official photographers of the Crimson and Gold, offered a dozen portraits valued at S3000 as first prize in contest. Besides this, there were W hvii R three other cash prizes awarded by the yearbook staff. Perhaps the most valuable contribution was made by Joseph Ferguson whose ability with the candid camera kept the school activites con- stantly in pictures. The enlarging he did in his own dark room at home enabled the Annual staff to portray many of the school events in action. Others who assisted very capably were: Philip Holzberger with his canny ability to take pictures under trying circumstances, Frank Fritz who also specialized in enlarging his own own pictures, William Haynes whose Weston exposure meter solved the problems of light and timing, and Robert Clancy and Robert Ritter who were very enthusiastic in taking a wide variety of THF' V ,.

O'ShauQhne55Y Riflemen Closed Season as Champion Marksmen of Nassau Target practice on the school's own range in the basement continued to interest the student body. Anyone was permitted to try for a position among the ten best marksmen who compete in matches with other schools. If candidates lacked the necessary qualifications, they were immediately dismissed. Those who showed signs of potential skill were permit- ted to practice on the range until ability had been acquired. Bro. John Strickroth, S.M., who organized the Club about four years ago, continued to coach the boys with their guns. He arranged schedules with other nimrods and held a few postal matches with distant schools. The Club specialized in the prone position. But for the county competition, they enter- ed in all positions and made a creditable showing. The season's record was not as imposing as last year's, though scores were always close. During the last month of the season just completed another set of portable backstops was installed, thus allowing four riflemen to shoot at one time. Jack Spellman, captain, Duke Stock, and Frank Stengel formed the nucleus of the team. Each was a vet- eran of at least three seasons and acted as instructors to the younger nimrods whenever there were no matches scheduled. Spellman and Stock aided in bringing the Nassau Rifle championship to Chaminade. H, Crook, J. Spellman, J, Forbes, and W. del Toro figuring out the target scores F. Dunne, J. Breen, J.

Hader leading the way Model airplane designing began as a new feature this year. A few students, among them Charles Riehm and Walter delToro, suggested the idea of an airplane club to the Principal. l-le immediately agreed and entrusted the guidance of the new group to Bro. Joseph Gaudet, S.M. A call was made for membership and a workshop prepared on the north balcony of the gym. That was the beginning. Every day the craftsmen met after school to work on the models they had chosen to build. After two months of pasting, sand-papering, and paper-covering, about half dozen models were ready and the first flying tests were made in a nearby lot. Results were gratifying and the boys went to work on larger crafts with more intricate designs. ln the endurance tests held last April, several planes remained aloft for two minutes and more. The wingmen continued to experiment with these until more satisfactory data were obtained. In order to maintain a constant interest in their hobby, club members bought a miniature plane motor. Purchase was made from a manufacturer in California and a large eight-foot plane is in the making to house the motor. This new 'giant' will not be completed until early next Fall. Pictures on this page show the model enthusiasts busy at their work. Each has his own tools, his own blue-print, and his own material. One helps the other with the problems of weight, balance, and detail. William Fitzgibbon and Richard Schwagerl distinguished them- selves by their knowledge of modelling and their knack in building. Previous to the Football Banquet last December, the little workshop on the balcony was busy preparing six Army models as symbols of the Chaminade Flyers. These A planes hung from the gird- ers, symbolic also of the Club's own enthusiasm. lPresidentl. 2nd Row:H. Stevenson, Inerney, R. Malone Top Row:T. Cowley, J, Forbes, R. Siebert, C. Schul, D.

McEvoy Short-Wave Operators Used Their Own 300-Watt Transmitter Four years ago the Radio Club of Chaminade began their radio experimentation with only the barest essentials. Today they boast of a powerful 300-watt transmitter, several receiving sets, equipment for code practice, and a good share of supplies to keep their attention focus- ed on radio. Most active among the members were: Charles Schul, Don Gagne, Raymond Siebert, and John Forbes. They spent every free moment before school, during lunch and after dismissal sending calls and receiving messages. Whenever anything went wrong, they tried to locate the trouble or called upon their adviser, Bro. Lawrence Eveslage, S. M., to help them. Outside of 'ham' time, this quartet would lend their assistance wherever it was needed. They installed the public address system whenever an event required it. One of the four was always at the controls while the microphones were in use. Besides learning the fundamentals of radio, the boys were carefully trained in the theory and use of the code. Donald Gagne was most proficient at the sending key. He taught the new talent as long as it remained to learn. c. Sami, D. cagne, ond R. sieimri remedying Q miie Contact with other 'hams' multiplied from day to 'adm trouble day. The display rack above the transmitter in the basement is covered with hundreds of identification cards from short-wave operators. Before the close of the current season, Charles Schul and Donald Gagne took tests for operator's licenses. Both are working on their own sets and ex- pect to break on the ether in solo before long. Don- ald Gagne is expecting to take up radio after he graduates from Chaminade. Two other former radio- men who have been responsible for the growth of the Club, namely, James Loughran '38 and William J Lichte '37, are now in college majoring in radio. Such is the fruitful history of the Radio Club that began in a very humble manner. D. Gagne, R. Siebert, and J.

DeVere lrghtl using the stereopticon Students Made Their Own Posters Poster displays strung along the hallways during the football campaign helped to inject pep into the students prior to the games. Formerly these posters were prepared the evening before by the faculty. But this year a group of students volunteered to do this work instead. Coached by Bro. Frank Hoegler, S.M. the boys worked a few hours each day after school until about twenty postors were ready. On Thursday evenings preceding the rallies, these posters were rshr,vv,diT,dR.sh ii- - ng Snjeoi ,hw p'f,S,eg'O an C Wage' C0 O' hung in the hallways by the faculty. After each rally they were again collected and at the football banquet they made a brilliant display on the walls of the gymnasium. A few of the more gifted artists sketched their figures free-hand. But this process being too slow, they tried using the stereopticon with much better results. By taking some picture from the comics or an athletic magazine, they inserted the copy into the machine and reflect- ed it on a piece of paper gummed to a blackboard. Then sketching the outlines with a piece of charcoal, they had the basic picture before them. Addition ofa little colored chalk and an appropriate caption completed the poster. In this way, they were able to finish four designs a day. When the novel method of enlarging became wide-spread among the students who were similarly interested, more volunteers came to try their hand. ln all there were eight members who carried on this work until the end of the football season. Then when there was further need of similar work, the boys went to work again turning off more posters. At Christmas time they helped composing a display showing the negative spirit of Christmas-the spirit of greed and selfishness rampant in countries like Russia and Germany. On one of the pictures on this page several artists are shown drawing the symbols of the countries mentioned. Activities in future can be assured of a very ef- fective publicity and pep- creating medium as the result of the initiative of these artists. 2 Top Row: F, Scheets, T. Mangan, R.

Haynes One Hundred Four Crimson and Gold Collectors Examined Many Stamps Stamps have a fascination for these students who are entering the second year of an activity they themselves pioneered. Though each has his own collection that is growing with each meeting, they are more intent on see- ing and examining special issues than they are in pur- chasing these very stamps for themselves. At present the expense is too heavy for most of them. However when a special offer presents itself, they capitalize on the oppor- tunity. To gain expert advice in philatelics, the Club had the privilege of listening to Mr. John Nieman of Baldwin who attended one of the bi- weekly meetings. He brought many stamps from his own collection and spent an hour tracing the history and significance of the various groups he had mounted on cards. He also showed his round-the-world letter carried by the Hindenburg on her first trip around the globe. In order to increase the number of good stamps at minimum expense, the club has made contacts with various students through the school to save stamps for the club. ln most in- stances, these students whom they have contacted have dads who work in offices or are ex- ecutives of big business houses. Hence the number and variety of stamps from these sources is assured. There is another feature to the hobby of this little group. They also collect the unusable stamps and send them to missionaries who convert them into souvenir cards. The principal agency for this work is the Society of Mary Stamp Bureau in Dayton, Ohio. The exhibit in the cafeteria last May portrayed the history of various countries in stamps. Featured in the display were the new United States issues, with the express purpose of familiar- izing the students with the new trend in Postmaster Farley's reorganized set-up. Very many were surprised to find the various Presidents changed around from stamp denominations they occupied before. The Club was making students conscious of the changing history in stamps. their stamp collection ' Row: W. McGovern, E. Ferguson, D. Zell- 'lst Row: W. del Toro, J. Kect, F. Haas. One Hundred Five Crimson and Gold Dramatic Talent Put on a Sketch As a fitting climax to the tension that usually runs rampant as Christmas approaches, a number of students, mostly Seniors, banded together and presented before the student body two dramatic sketches on the afternoon of opening of the holiday recess. The first number was a monologue entitled The Blue-eyed Sheik Prefers Blondes realistically enacted by John Boyle. John had been jilted that afternoon, here- after he would have nothing to do with girls. He goes on philosophizing about the stupidity of his conduct when philosophizing goes for nought. Another date is set for that very evening ln the main feature of the program, Thomas Cawley, William Johnson, Donald Gorman and Eugene Stratford put on A Business Man's Dilemma. The business man in the person of Johnson suffers misfortune at every turn. After each reversal he makes a mysterious allu sion to sleep. Finally, he grabs a revolver, rushes off the stage, and fires a shot. However, he is back in moment, happy that now he will no longer be troubled in his sleep. He has just kill ed the cat, the disturber of the peace. By way of an epilogue, Don Gorman and Eugene Stratford went through three panto mimes that put the audience into an uproar, They portrayed two hitch-hikers thwarted in their designs, two motorists in perplexity over a stalled motor, and two cronies serving beer at the bar.

This is a supplement to the social phase of our edu- cation. It pictures us in the attitudes that our companions knew us in our everyday conduct. Some of the candid 'shots' are humorous, others are unusual, because in all instances the personal traits are emphasized. In this section, we behold the home-like spirit that united us together. ln the same way that the family album is a treasured possession because of the happy memories it contains, so is this collection of pictures an important part of this yearbook. In order to include many of our comrades in the passing parade, we multiplied the number of photos included on each page. We have tried to include everybody, that was the aim the Camera Club set for itself when it be- gan the task of collecting these snapshots last January. Besides reviewing the personalities, this division also recaptures the highlights of the year and the more important features of our routine here at the school. The mere paging of this section will recall the days of l939. Wherever it was possible, the candid camera tried to get the subject unaware. Many faces appearing in the following pages will be seen by the subjects themselves for the first time. ln this respect, we have taken the students as they have been in real life. We hope no one will be disappointed. At this point we must express our thanks tothe members of the Camera Club for their splendid co-operation, as well as the youthful photographers who assisted with pictures by taking part in the camera contest held by the club. Unless the above had helped us, we would never have been able to supply this pictorial. And so we close this last phase of our experience here at Chaminade. lt is the final factor in our education. lt is a positive indication that we never repressed our personalities in order to appear different from what we were. The alter- ation came through the will. The will and the intellect guided us in our mental, physical, and social development.

Since l932, when the first edition ap- peared, it has been known as the Crimson and Gold. Each year the Seniors have been fortunate in getting the needed funds through their patrons and advertisers. Many of these are friends who have been with the school since the begin- ning. On the other hand, there are those who have aided us as the years advanced. At all times, we met with a pleasant response-a response that enabled us to go ahead with our task of publication without financial drawbacks. We ap- preciate this splendid assistance from our friends and ask that our readers maintain this friendship by patronizing the articles advertised in the following pages. The soliciting of these patrons and ads demanded great sacrifice of the student body. They made contacts either by mail or in person, spending much of their free time in secur- ing the necessary quota. By working diligently during the yearbook's business campaign, they manifested their interest in the school, and they exemplified by their generosity that they had caught the spirit of unselfishness symbolized in the Gold. We recognize their splendid example of devotedness. We are grateful for their generous assistance. Our patrons were more numerous than they had been other years. The Seniors themselves accounted in a large measure for this increase. To make this possible, the business staff of the Crimson and Gold suggested that Graduates be permitted to subscribe as patrons instead of the usual four- dollar assessment placed on them. Many took advantage of this opportunity and the list of patrons has correspondingly become larger. And so closes the last chapter of this volume. lt shows that we have fulfilled even our material obligations. The en- tire volume depicts a cross-section of our years at Chaminade High School.
