Such instruction has ever been distinctive of Holy Cross, and has borne good fruit in the after years of her graduates. That it has been in- delibly graven on our hearts and will bring the same results, is the honest con- viction of every lnember of the Class. Inspired by the magnanimous ex- amples of self-sacrifice, piety, and labor, and realizing that the only recompense to our professors can be but our own achievelnent of their high standard, each one will bend his every effort to the attainment of that excellence. For the true friendship they have given us, for their fatherly interest in all our works, for their sound advice, in times of need, each member of nineteen twelve is deeply grateful and will ever labor under that obligation described by Franklin: The heaviest debt is that of gratitude, When 'tis not in our power to pay it.

The lirst letter in his name places Frank o11- the lirst page of this wonderful biographical collection. Ile shares with three other Ill0I11lJ01'S of the Class an unique distinction which consists in this, that his struggle for an A. li. extends over a period of six years. Lest this assertion retlect undeserved dis- credit upon his intellectual ability, it is but fair to add that he was enrolled as a l'rep,' for two years. f'Frank has been the indiscriminate flistributer of sun- shine and gloom, as it was through him that we received our mail.

It is very probable that he knew better than we the importance of the maxim, Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise. It' it were not for Frank and a few others there would be little need ot a telephone for the students' use at Holy Cross.

Though not as dignified as Edgar, it was pleasing to him, since it singled him out from the multitiude. While not blessed with the sinews of a Mclieough, White Hopet' surpassed by far the ordinary youth of his ageg and hence, any prospective ag-gressor of his deemed it prudent to rlus l'o1 delibelation bet'ore committing hiniseli' to the It ,fe . .. ,Y shadows of uncertainty. One Spud'i Grady, a courageous - . little chap, fell a prey to 'tWhite Hopetsi' secret wrestling skill, and to his sorrow came into forcible Contact with the wall. As A P in X , -U the weaker must succumb to the stronger, the wall received a large indentation. Now, Bugs found plenty ot' time tio study and to per- i'01'11l his other urgent duties.

To say more would be 'to belittle his worthy intentions, and it is not our purpose to do so. Sutiice it to say that Percy, actuated as he is by set prin- ciples, must go through life with a serene countenance. THE PURPLE PATCHER J. FRANCIS BOLAND North Brookfield, Mass.

Once upon a time. a studious, aggressive, and athletic little man came down to Worcester l'rom an unknown village ol' the Massachusetts hills. Llis eye was clear and strong. llis face was tirln and smiling. Now the llrooklields are no longer un- known, 11or is their l'ame entirely due to Connie Mack and tleorge Cohan. There is no place like the North, says 'i-Iackf, and forsooth those ot' us who have seen the place are ready to agree with him. Besides describing his own town beyond the possibilities of ordinary lnortal imagination, 1Ieck,' sometimes dilates on the beauties ol' that other hamlet known as Warren. Consulting the map, we tiud no means ot' eonnnunication between Jack's home and that rlaceg no roads, rail or otherwise. But one 1 may wa ,' says . act, .md walk he does. Thus every Sunday evening, just about quarter betore lunch-time a sturdy tigure flashes across the sunset at the crests ot' the intervening hills. The step is that ot' one who has important business. The busi- ness is a matter ot' conjecture.. NVhat' recreation he had between track-practicing, Jack used to spend in wrestling with his ftfiIONV-i'0WllSlll2lll Mulcahy, or springing jokes in the Day-scholars' room. Ile once at'- tempted to establish the taeti thati Madame Xi, and Madame Teni' were one and the same person, and that either mode ot' pronunciation was correct. NVhen he stopped running, he knew he was wrong. lt was always amusing to watch him sit in bewildermenti while others laughed, and calmly ask the speaker to tinish his story.

It is need- less to go into details in this respect, however, l'or you can easily learn the truth hy consulting 'f0ld FIOIIICIM himself. ln Freshman Buck entertained us with many an inter- esting story ol' his experiences in the little town on the lflrie- noti the canal-the railroad-where he spent' his Summers. lt is Some Town, as we have seen, and it is surely just what it was represented to he.

It seems that 'tVinuie,' hesitated to intrust himself to the uncertainties of a life spent away from New York and its many attractions, i'or he came into our midst two weeks after we had undertaken our labors. Yet he soon succeeded in squirming his way into the all'ections of all his associates in spite of his cumbersome rotuudity. 'tJimmie', has always been conspicuous during his career at Holy Cross, especially because ot' certain qualities which are peculiarly his own. Count,, has striven dili- gently to provoke laughter by his jokes, Occasionally his elforts were rewarded, a fact, however, which must be at- rights ol' comedians. Ile will never become a recognized genius among IN'fllI,:It csprilis. ln October, 1911, Caggy forced himself to believe that his upper lip had all the requi sites for a moustache, and so he undertook to cultivate one lslis 'l'requent use oi' a mirror only gave discouraging QVI dence of the futility of his vast enterprise.

Clarence joined our hopeful band at the beginning ol' Sophomore with a long reputation as a student, and he cer- tainly has upheld this reputation during his course on Mt. St. James. Ulare,i' as he is affectionately called, is one of the niost popular men i11 the class, for his room is always filled with congenial companions. In Junior, after he had tired of liv- ing alone, Dutch,' took the ever-smiling Dann Mahoney for tllare's popularity tried to introdume hun into some very select circles tnoti Pliilosopliy circles, eithel Alphonse inade a good try for 'lhati benior Qual tette, but was heaten out by a couple oi' notes.

Clarence is an oinniverous reader, and can give you a synopsis ot' the plots ol' any of the best se lers.

One morning in October, Nineteen Ten, a new member was noticed among the men of Junior A. He was tall, dark, silent, serious, but silent and all as he was, we finally forced him to disclose at least those points in his history requisite for the establislunent of his individuality in our memories. The immediate results of our inquiries amounted to the knowledge of his name and last place of residence. I-Ie was Edward P. Dunne, late of St. Thomas Seminary. After these disclosures, that impenetrable shield of silence again in- tervened and we were obliged to wait. Ed opened up the Spring by displaying exceptional ability as a twirler, and during the two years of his stay with us, he has made a valuable addition to the Varsity baseball squad. ' Through Junior, Ed was a boarder, but upon his re- turn in Senior, it seems Alumni Hall already housed all our classmen she cared to be responsible for, and Ed was r 21. gig 5 -l li .K 5 y 1 f P .

Since Ed became a Day Scholar, he has acquired many of their habits, and has often found occasion to use the new rights placed at his disposal. Accordingly, mu- sical entertainments in the Vernon Ilill section have occa- sionally been favored by Edts presence, where he has become popular, first by that prestige which all Iloly Cross men, as such, enjoy, and again by that great good nature that has characterized him in class, on the campus, and on the diamond. There is no member who will take with hini greater respect or more good wishes than Wild Ed, the 'tlndiann of Nineteen Twelve. 62 THE PURPLE PATCHER denizens ot' the woods i.0ill'0t'l IlCllCi'l'ili'Ctl tl1eir l'2lSillt'SSOS, 1 1i111 JOHN J.

An adequate description of this fair-haired 'youth's character and experiences can hardly be given in such a limited space. Although in Freshman year, Wlill' looked with cold ilulitlerence upon everything extraneous to study, yet he succumbed to the temptations that beset' him in the 'following' years. As a Sophomore he ,egradmllly developed a very noticeable atl'ection for the social lite, and in the suc- ceeding' years the goal for which he had long yearned was close at hand. The dig'nit'y ot' his position as a Senior did not prevent the encircling ot' his golden locks with a crown of glory. 1'l0l'llllll,fI a partnership with Leo. his inseparable Companion he sent out invitations for a dance to he held W s such th it they had no tcai ot dire results. The atl'ai1 was very 1'C1llill.'lCtllJlC indeed fnot from Society's point ot viewj and much might be said ol' it here il? Society were not too sensitive or bellicose. - Though blessed with all the requisites tor the makinfv of a football hero, f'Bock lacked interest in the game. L oi three years he disregarded entirely the entreaties ot' his classmates, who longed to hear his name on the lips of hero worshippers. Finally, in Senior year, he came forth on the Iield as a drop-kicker. His disappearance, however, was as unexpected as his appearance, but the openinfv' ol' the base- ball csason found Gil a prominent tigure on the dia- mond, and we believe that he never before realized the I'ull value of his right arm.

Before most of ns had decided upon the college we should enter, he Ililtl fanliliai-ized himself' with Holy Cross and had becolne involved in various in- terests in lVorcestcr. On the event of our tirst meeting. we beheld in Jim a youth remarkable for muscular de- velopment.

The hard- ill etlect upon llllll That Mack has the distinction of being a capable speaker has been clearly evidenced on many occasions.

Place Me Among the Girls, for he possessed an inimitable facility in accolnplish- ing it unassisted.

That this honor 1- l A only increased his popularity is attested by the fact that K ' , in Sophomore he was elected to the highest and most hon- orable otlice in college by a sweeping majority. 1linchclitl'e', has a remarkable gift of oratory and he has scored many successes with his South Carolina speech, no one ever having the temerity to Nast him if he had ever given it before. In speaking ot' business Suttie has been voted the cleverest business man in the class as we proved in elect- ing him business manager ot' the Purple l'atcher. lt is rumored that Suit has received a flattering otfer to become assistant manager ot' the New York Giants but has modestly turned it down claiming that he lacks exper ience at the same time however recommending the names oi' more experienced men. Suttie', is a whole-souled, good hearted chap always with a keen eye t'or business hence we do not hesitate to predict a brilliant business career for our blonde classmate.

Six years ago, there strolled into Father McGui1'e's old Special Latin Class a two hundred pound White Hope from South Worcester, large ot' frame and weak of voice, so much so in fact that not long afterwards the words ot' Horace were applied to him, Hl.'ill'llll'illl1t montes, nascetur ridicule inns. Jim started in to make good immediately, and did so with a vengeance. From a sensational 'fPrep tackle he developed into a varsity star of the tirsti magnitude, out- playing year after year the giant linesmen of Yale, Dart- mouth, and Princeton. During our four years there has been much competi- tion among the day scholars for the late-ticket honors, but .no one has ever questioned Jimls right to the absentee- ticket trophy. As a Monday morning visitor he was seldom seen, nhether or not because ol certain pressing engage- ments, no one knows. Jim explains his popularity in cer- tain places by saying that big handsome fellows are always in demand, but Frank U'Brien, if he would, could a tale untold of one occasion where size didnlt count. Jim's personality was as unusual as it was interest- ing. He was a big man every way you took him, big in his body, and big in his soul. He held a position among the athletes which was the object ol' many a lll2lll'S emulation and everyone's congratulation. lint Jim knew, il' anyone ever did, how to bear his honors on him. lt seemed that when he was otl' the tield ot' contest that hc completely for- got he was an athlete. 'l'he only reminder we needed how- ever, was his size, or the experience ol' bounding back when we were unfortunate enough to collide with him in the corridor. In al'ter lite, we are sure that Jim's,' success will be great, it' ability, character, and the good wishes of a host of friends count for aught. THE PURPLE PATCHER 107 JAMES V.

'---vc: Jeefav '-c' THE PURPLE PATCHER II7 Elite Qllana nf 1513 It is ditlicult to convey to the reader an adequate notion of the mental concentration requir- ed for the composition of this brief but important narrative. Knowing the Juniors as we have for three years, it is no easy matter to confine our remarks on them to this limited space. For that reason we must attend merely to essentials. With that same vivacity with which they have encountered all abstruse problems, they rec- onciled themselves to tl1e labors necessary for a clear understanding of the more general and ru- dimentary philosophic principles. As philosophers in the embryo they seemed to have properly viewed the vastness of their subject, a fact forcibly emphasized by the results of their examination. Indeed they have diligently delved into the depths of philosophy, and yet this was not their sole pursuit. In addition to the noteworthy contributions made by them to the strong 'varsity teams, they still retained sufficient material for the organization of formidable class teams. In class football especially there is no doubt that they excelled, Seniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen alike succumbed to their powerful attacks in the games of the Fall of 1911-12. In all justice to the Juniors it must be said that they did not restrict the extent of their ac- tivities to the furtherance of their own personal interests, for much that was good and noble was achieved to glorify the name of Alma Mater. Their hearty response at all times to her calling ev- idenced their devotion and loyalty. Each year the Holy Cross Night observance was accepted by them as an occasion for tl1e display of college spirit. Also in football, baseball, and track they have been prominent figures. For three years Davitt has been the mainstay of the football team at guard and we trust that in the succeeding year his work will harmonize with the general opin- ion of him. Pickett and Colleary unknown to the football world during their Freshman year stepped into tl1e light of football renown in the succeeding years. Colleary and Davitt must be mentioned again, this time in connection with the track team, while Cawley was prominent in baseball circles. Hence it is small wonder that the class as a whole may be considered a strong factor at Holy Cross. Now that they are about to don the garb of dignity essential to a senior we feel no misgiv- ings in saying that they will be meritorious leaders of the student body in all such matters as de- mand the supervision of circumspect and discerning men.

Tl1at the return was a pleasant one could be seen from the cheerful and earnest manner i11 w11icl1 they wel- comed one another. As the days passed we watched them gradually emerge from the shadows ot' obscurity, with which they were enveloped as Freshmen, into the light that ever surrounds the progressive. While Freshmen, they attracted just so much notice as Freshmen ordinarily attract. But there are strong reasons for believing that they had resolved in the following year at least to proportion their EIC- tions to the precedent established by t'ormer Sophomores. That their resolutions bore fruit is sut- ticiently clear to those who have associated with them in any way. . One special honor which came to them was the election ol' Frederick V. Ostergren to the captaincy of the 1912 football team. .It is rare indeed that a Sophomore secures such a position and for that reason the tact is well worthy of note. This must therefore be an inducement for the class of 1914 to assist with increased interest in bringing about the success ot? this team. In the production of Richard UP' much glory also came to them because ot' the admirable acting of several Sophomores. 1Vhile strikingly conspicuous in these instances, their industry in the fur- therance of other Holy Cross enterprises was by no means unimportant. The Glee Club, Orches- tra, and Athletic Association share alike i11 their generous and unremitting support, and we have observed with satisfaction their enthusiastic and talented contribution to these and other Holy Cross organizations. Although fortune has seen tit to appreciably diminish the numbers of the class, yet this de- crease, important iu itself, has not resulted in the weakening otf the whole body. On the contrary, there still remains that same resourcefulness and strength ol' purpose which have given incentive to all their past endeavors. To arrive at an unprejudiccd conclusion regarding the merits of 0ne's actions, it is best to consider not merely the actions themselves, but also their determining mo- tives. It is in this way that we have judged of the class of 1914 and we are contident that our im- pression of iilelll is correct. CLASS OF 1914 SOPHOMORE A. Beattie, James H., Jr. Bolan, Thomas A.

XVith the impetuosity and carefree manner of youth they set to work after the fashion of their predecessors to make themselves 7 real college men. To them of course the term College Man has a characteristic signiiication, as all know who have once been Freshmen. Far from deserving censure for this somewhat exaggerat- ed notion, they merit much respect, since their's is a stage of development which is a stepping stone to loftier aspirations. Thus far the class of 1915 has not been lacking in initiative. From the beginning its mem- bers have assumed an importance which promises to continue. Excellent examples of this are to be noted in everything that claims their attention. lt was perhaps on Holy Cross Night that they lirst gave an impressive display of the eagerness with which they were ready to encourage, foster, and patronize such a spirit as pervaded the exercises of that evening. The Freshmen have greatly augmented the powers of the Orchestra, Glee Club, athletic teams, and other organiza- tions, and their success must therefore be atitrib-uted in some measure to this class. Consequently it may readily be seen that the Freshmen are 11ot alone what the name implies. ln this way, during their first year, much has depended on the seemingly rich mental and physical resources ol' the Freshmen and accordingly it is to be expected that much more will come from them in the future. Since they have already incorporated themselves with the lll0l'6 impor- tant affairs of Holy Cross life, we anticipate steady progress for her, assisted as she will surely be by such energetic workers the inevitable gain lnust be truly substantial. lt may well be said that their actions have not been entirely impulsive, but have been prompted by praisworthy mo- tives, a fact quite evident to those who know them. XVe trust that they will continually be what they have been during our brief intercourse with them, and we feel sure that such will be the case if they but maintain those high standards which must shortly give birth to an everlasting college spirit.

As a result the educated man who becomes an idler develops into a menace to the community in which he lives. lf. on the other hand. he diligently applies himself to the responsibilities incumbent upon him. the connnunity tlourishes. Those who have stepped forth l'rom the walls ol' lloly Cross have secured for themselves estimable positions among men ofthe latter type. tfomparatively weak in numbers, but strong in the abiding possession ot' the t'undamental principles ol' lite, lloly Cross Alumni are everywhere found to be thoroughly etlicient, progressive, and intluential. As worthy representatives ot'. the clergy and laity they are continually giving evidence ol' their sincere appreciation ot' the conti- dence reposetl in them by their Alma Mater. ln a word it maybe said with truth that the Holy Cross graduate is the dynamic and energizing element in the lives ol' those with whom he is inti- mately associated. And so it' is that Holy Cross may justly look with pride upon the progress of her sons, for all that they accomplish is directlytraceable to the principles inculcaled in her teachings. However, the attention ol' ,Iloly Cross Alumni is not entirely devoted to interests foreign to lloly th-oss. On the contrary she receives substantial testimony of their lasting gratitude. Nor is there need ot' a stimulus to awaken their loyalty and devotion, for it is ever alive within them. Very ol'ten it happens that the possession ol' such qualities is constant, while their manifes- tation is variable. This is not: true in the case ol' Hur Alumni. 'l'he observance ol' Holy th-oss Night each year brings a large munher back to the scenes so I'amiliar to them, where they mingle with the students in evident delight. 'l'he organization ol' numerous Alumni Associations has rendered possible such an allilia- tion of like purposes that Alunmi llall now graces the Hill of l'lgasgmt- Spy-ings?

BEAVEN, D.D. lionorawy President Alumni Association Founder of Heaven Hall 136 THE PURPLE PATCHER 1 Tfrahen Mall The following letter explains far better than, we, the editors, could hope to, the picture on the next page. That the splendid generosity of Bishop Beaven and his priests has touched the hearts of every Holy Cross man is evidenced by the numerous congratulations received by the faculty when the news of Alma Mater's good fortune was made public. The class of 1912, although it will not be here to enjoy the line accomlnodations of Beaven Hall, now also express its gratitude to the Rightlleverend Bishop, for everything that advances Holy Cross must be a source of pleasure and pride to 1912. November 25 1911. DEAR ALUMNUS or HOLY Cnoss: , Everything that concerns the welfare of Holy Cross is a matter in which we know that you as an Alumnus take a deep and warm interest. Therefore it is that we wish to acquaint you with a piece of news which will undoubtedly in no small degree bring you joy. The Right Rev- erend Bishop, Thomas D. Beaven, D. D., in the Conferences held this week in Worcester, Pitts- field and Springfield, placed before the priests of the Diocese of Springfield for their consider- ation a plan for the furtherance of the interests of Catholic Higher Education. He desired to see erected a monument through the united efforts of his clergy, even at the price- of personal sacrifice, in behalf of the great religious movement of the day to afford more ample opportunities to the Catholic people of this country and especially of New England for a liberal and sound higher education for their children. Naturally his eyes turned to the grand old College on Mt. St. James, which, centered in the very heart of the Diocese, has for generations been an invitation to Catholic parents to broaden out their ambitions for their sons and place, them on a higher plane of usefulness, and which for lllOl'C than fifty years has ben a f'home-word in every Catholic family in Massachusetts and for more than forty years a well-spring of benefaction and blessing for the Diocese of Springfield, as the proper place to set this lasting memorial. Here then by every right and title, upon sacred and hallowed soil, should be raised the undying testimonial of a Bishop and Clergy of one mind and heart in promoting the highest and best interests of their people. He proposed that each priest of his Diocese-over three hundred in number-should give 35100 for three years--thus realizing a sum of I1i4l00,0tl0 for the erection of a suitable building at Holy Cross to accommodate her rapidly increasing number of students. f'This is the joyful news we wish to communicate to you as a loyal son of Holy Cross and desire to share with you. Your grand old Alma Mater sees a wider scope for her usefulness, greater opportunities for good to the Catholic people of this country, greater fields for her zeal of souls and greater glory to be given to God. May tl1e spirit of God that has rested upon her in the labors of the fruitful pastcontinue to abide with her in the greater promise of the future, and may he, whose greatness of heart and Apostolic zeal inspired this movement, and the devoted clergy who are to co-operate with him in the fulfilment of his cherished desires,, receive of it in greater abundance. Yours sincerely in Christ, Josuru N. DINAND, S. J., President. BEAVEN HALL 138 THE PURPLE PATCHER Enlg Qlrnzn ight Holy Cross Nighti' is not a meaninglesscombination ot' words, it is an expression ot' a very weighty signitication, a signitication best understood by those who have ever participated in its annualobservance. lti acts as a powerful agency to acquaint faculty and student' with the attitude ot' the Alumnus toward lloly th-oss and all that she so zealously advocates. The prime purpose of the celebration however is something more comprehensive, something more vitalg it reaches the hearts ot' faculty, Alumni, and students and inspires them with those sentiments which must ever come to the surface on such occasions. Thus the seeds ol' tilial devotion and loy- alty to Alma Mater are sown propitiously in the hearti ot' the new student and t'rom year to year are nurtured caret'ully so that they may at some future date burst' forth and disclose themselves to the light ol' day. lti is the one night' ol' the wh ole year when the three distinct' bodies, ol' which Holy Cross is composed, assemble in friendly and even l'raternal intercourse. The august Alum- nus discards l'or the evening his mantle ol' seriousness and in his retrospect of the old days re- lates hulnorous incidents ot' his lil'e at lloly tlross. Speeches interspersed with appropriate witti- cisms add l'urlher merriment' to the festivities, while over all there hovers the ever-welcome, ani- lllilfillg bird ol' peace, and where peace exists, there also may the strongest kind ol' union be found -a union whose bonds can withstand the tests ol' time. Holy Cross Night holds treasures particlarly l'or the new student who has found it: ditii- cult to accustom himsell' to the routine and strangeness of college lit'e. To l'eel at home and to have unreserved communication with his fellow students is a precious remedy for that: disagree- able indisposition ol' mind so prevalent among the new students, and it' has always been the ambi- tion ot' those concerned with the arrangements, to luake this yearly observance serve a twofold purpose, 'lirsti to dispense this remedy to those who may be in need ot' it, and secondly to forge tlll- other link in the chain ot' l'riendship and loyalty which binds faculty, alumni, and student body into one sympathetic whole. We, like others, have acted under the promptings of such an ambi- tion and we trust' that our ell'orts have received the full measure ol' reward due them. Tile bur- den ol' the atl'air rested upon the shoulders ol' Charles C. Conaty who represented us as chiet' mar- shal. We heartily congratulate him on the capable and masterful way in which he presided and we offer him our sincere gratitude. Contident that we have done our utmost we gladly relin- our position to our successors.

X THE PURPLE PATCHER 141 Behating in General James Bryce in his admirable treatise on the system of American Life, The American Commonwealth, in whichhe describes the institutions and characteristics peculiarly adapted to the temperanients of the people of the United States, says very tersely and adroitly, that the American people are by nature, a nation of orators. In this republic, where broadness of country and complex government present constant and urgent questions for solution, the orator, the guider of the people, holds a place in the community that can be surpassed by none and which is paramount where the different parties needs must have a leader. This necessity of eloquence, of clear expression of thought in tllllely words and well constructed sentences, the facility to think quickly and answer fully, the 'faculty of close reasoning and repartee, is clear- ly recognized by the educational leaders ill the universities and colleges of the land. Hence the establishment, in our high schools, and higher educational institutions, of Debating Societies, of societies of oratory, has been calculated to meet the demand and need of the people. In this regard Holy Cross has taken a leading part. A glance at the records in both so- cieties, the Senior-Junior Society named the B. J. F. and the Soplioinore-Freshlnan, called the Philomathic, will ably defend the assertion that in the field ol' argument as in athletics and other branches, in contest, not only with her sister Jesuit Colleges but even in the arena with the highest and most prominent universities ofthe land, Holy Cross has, with prestige and glory, fully held its own. 142 THE PURPLE PATCHER Uhr IB. Il. ZH. Brhaiing Svnrietg The B. J. F. Debating Society stands out preeminent, ZIIIIOIIQ' the grand institutions which have come down to us l'rom the men who laid the foundation stones of Holy Cross. Within its records are inscribed the names of many who have held and who hold to-day, the foremost positions in many ot' the states and cities especially of the East. 'Phe history ol' the IB. J. F. is indeed interesting and delightful. far back as 216, but three years after the founding ol' Holy Cross, the society dates its existence. Thus the keen eyes and toreseeing minds of the founders of Holy Cross read the signs of the times, that not least among the requisites ol' a liberal education were the study of rhetoric and the soft How of an easy and convincing eloquence. As to-day, so in the beginning, the society chose the leading political, social and economical questions of the hour, and an old record but lately discovered gives many an interesting anecdote and story of the enthusiasm and earnestness displayed in the discussion of the slavery question and debates on State Rights. Unfortlmately the constitution of the first society has been mislaid, but a few pages con- taining the first articles impart to us the following interesting information and also the name of the Society and the reason ot' its selection. This society founded in the year, one thousand eight humlred and forty-six, the seven- tieth anniversary ol' the Independence ofthe United States is essentially a debating society hav- ing for its object the increase ot' knowledge, cultivation oi' eloquence, and readiness in debate. The society adopts as a token ol' attection and gratitude the name. H. AI. F., these letters being the initials of the lit, Kev. Benedict Joseph Fenwick, one oi' the Bishops ot Boston and founder ol' Holy Cross. In this present year, owing to many ditiiculties arising from the loss ol' the constitution, anew one was drawn up and adopted. As in the past the Society confines its membership to the Senior and Junior classes. Every year the Society holds an inter-class debate, and 1na11y a forensic battle has roused, and will continue to quicken the blood oi' every loyal son of Holy' Cross and admirer of the grand old B. J. F. A CLASS DEBATING TEAM 144 THE PURPLE PATCHER Uhr Clllaaa in Bvhaien As in many other things 1912 has been prominent in debating circles at Holy Cross, be- cause ot' the natural and acquired powers of certain ot' its members. The various argumenta- tive controversies held annually in Fenwick Hall have afforded them opportlmities to exhibit in a very satist'actory manner their eloquence and cleverly constructed processes of reasoning. As a defeat otten fails to diminish the merits of tl1e losers, so in the case of our teams a defeat while disappointing especially to the debaters, was not accepted as an indication of marked in- feriority. It frequently happens that the losers were unfortunate in having the difficult side of a question to defend. The debate in which we were tirst concerned at Holy Cross was with the team from the class ol' 1911. The general opinion was that the result remained uncertain juntil the iiuldges announced their decision which conceded our opponents the winners. The combination repre- senting us consisted of 'Dennis A. Oilirien, James A. McKeough, Joseph F. X. Devane, and Hugh A. tlallagher as alternate. It was such a combination as required the keen penetrating qualities and exactness ol' discerning judges to discover its weakness. ln our Sophomore year John A. Dore, James A. McKeough, Cornelius F. Deneen, and John J. Horan as alternate were chosen asa team to debate with the representatives of the class of 19121. In this debate the laurels of victory were ours, a fact due in great measure to the individual endeavors ol' the members of our team. The following year we were scheduled to debate the class of 1911, but no debate was held owing to certain adverse circumstances which rendered it impossible. From the team composed ot' John A. llore. llenry J. Kelly, Joseph F, X, Devane, and Cornelius F. Deneen, alternate, we anticipate-l a remarkable exhibition of oratorical and argumentative skill. lVe regret very much that no debate was held. Three years ot' experience in debating has considerably augmented the powers of many ot' our members, and we feel that our last team will be a strong one. For the final debate of our career at Holy Cross the team chosen is made up of Cornelius F. Deneen, Joseph F. X. Devane,, James A. McKeough, with Henry J. Kelly as alternate. We trust that fortune will favor us in this our last attempt at inter-class debating.

Or- ganized on Dec. S, 1844, the Sodality has indeed been prolific of good since its inception. Owing to the growth in numbers of students, the sodal ity has been divided into two divisions, namely, the Sodality of the Immaculate Conception, for boarders, and the subsidiary branch for the Day Scholars. It is peculiarly interesting, to note here, that this sodality, affiliated with the Prima-Primaria in Rome, and blessed by the manifold benedictions of nuinberless popes should here in New England attain its greatest success,-a success that shines out a beacon light in the conflicting thought of dying Puritanism and incipient Unitarianism. XVith the daily Holy Communions numbering above the two hundred-lnark, the grandeur of its results, and the sub- lixnity of its profession of faith at the altar of the Holy Sacrifice, will indeed endure in the hearts of the Holy Cross students--a pledge of their fidelity, a sign of their love, and a reminder of its promise to the Mother of God. THE PURPLE STAFF THE PURPLE PATCHER 149 Elite ignlg Glrnan 151111112 Of primary importance among the college institutions is the monthly magazine, The Holy Cross Purple. During its career of nineteen years, from a tenuous class journal, it bur- geoned into a ninety-page monthly, maintaining such a standard that the critics in the exchange departments ol' its sister publications have unceasingly given it superlative praise. There are two elements, in particular, that have worked for the success ol' The Purple. tlne lies in the fact that the t'acl1lty moderator and editors have always contined their etforts to a well-delined, restricted tield. Although the preamble of the constitution provides, in gen- eral, t'or creative and critical composition, the lioratian maxim, Est .lloflns in relms'-' has teen thought timely, and the stalt? members and lay contributors have limited themselves to the brief lyric poem, the light, epigrannnatic essay, the very short story and occasionally the heavy, critical essay. ln this w:.y. a model balance has been struck and an enviable record made in literary excellence. The profane departnients, the college chronicle, the Alumni IICVUIIIIHIV, and the athletics have an obvious and well-ordered scope. The l'urple has another cause for congratulation in its choice ol' facility moderators and stall' members. lt's sanctium has been the gathering-place ol' congenial and enthusiastic spirits. Mr. Michael F. Fitzpatrick, S. J., who presided over it for the past two years, made Quality the guiding-star ot' his administration, and followed it with success. Mr. Louis J. llauhert, S. J., business moderator, in his painstaking watchtulness, exercised et1'ective jurisdic- tion over its treasury. Father Thomas J. McLoughlin, S. J., gave ot' his valuable time to chronicle the inspiring accomplislnuents of the alunmi. Mr. John McCoy Slattery. '12 by appealing verse and telling editorial, has made his name memorable in Purple annals. Llis work in uniting the stali' and bringing about much needed concerted action has produced both pleasurable and protilable results. Natural vigor in poetry and choice elegance in Under the Rose combined to make most pleasing and promiseful the l'aithI'ul work of Mr. Walter Gerald Nagle, '12, The well-turned stanzas ol' .llr. Donald Raymond U'llrien were warmly praised and even reprinted by leading magazines and reviews. The pen ol' Mr. John Francis Kirby has been both vivid and accurate in detailing the successes ol' our teams on gridiron, diamond and track. Mr. lfldwin Patrick Hassett, by his loyal devotion aml sacriticiug diligence, kept the magazine on a tirm tinancial basis. The representatives of the other classes displayed worthy talent and intense interest in upholding their part of the stalf responsibilities. They are: Francis Xavier Coughlin, '13, Francis Leo Fox-an, '13, Cornelius Joseph Hurley, '13, Laurence Joseph Jackson, '13, Michael ltldward Lahey, '13, Ralph Thomas Foye, '14, Jerelniah Joseph McCarthy, '14, Andrew Charles Moran, '14, John Joseph Maher, '14, John Joseph Crowley, '15, with Thomas Francis Markham, '13, assistant business manager.

The occasion of taking one ot' the minor parts in the college play, so that the speaker does not feel that the full responsi- bility is upon him, has given many a student a start in oratory that has led to the most eloquent and splendid results. Holy Cross has devoted sincere and earnest et1'o1-ti in this regard and the production of 4'Richa1'd Illf' entailing a cast of nearly one hundred students in its perfornilanee is signiticant ol' the interest displayed in this branch. The socicty's success is due in most part to the ability, energy and untiring efforts of the Rev. Moderator, John NV. Coveney, S.

CAST OF HTWELFTH NIGHT THE PURPLE- PATCHER 155 IKirharh lil The brilliant record of the Holy Cross Dramatic Society was greatly enhanced by the splen- did production of Shakespeare's Richard III., on February 15, 1912. Never before had the dra- matic society taken upon itself to portray so difficult a character and to stage so stupendous a production, for it entailed a spectacular feature, comprising nearly one hundred players, and the presence of two opposing armies. From the moment the curtain rose, promptness, dispatch and almost professional alacrity and accuracy in detail characterized the show. Mr. John A. Dore, '12, was seen to advantage in the character of the diabolical Gloster, afterwards Richard III. To quote the Purple's criticism we read: Mi-. Dore looked and lived the part. His by-play was excellent. In every respect Mr. Dore measured up to the demands of the part. As Duke of Buckingham, Mr. Leo H. Healy charmed all by his beauty and strength of voice and vividness of portrayal, and Mr. Henry L. Erwin, '14, repeated his success of the pre- ceding year, showing that both the lightest of comedy and the deepest of tragedy were well within his command. Mr. Jeremiah J. McCarthy, '14, with the deep, mellow-toned voice which has so often charmed, brought 'forth great commendation. Mr. Francis L.

The choir, under the direction of Mr. Arthur S, Hart, S. J., during Freshman and Sophomore and for the past two years under the guidance of the Rev. John XV. Coveney, S. J., has attained a laudable degree of efficiency, while the reputation of the Glee Club under the same leadership has spread beyond the environs ot College Hill. For three years the orchestra responded to the baton of Carl A. Ducharme, ill., who in addi- tion to the complete organization, developed a short lived violin quartet. Aided by this latter aggregation a series of joint concerts by Orchestra and Glee Club was adlnirably rendered, a tri- umph particularly gratifying to the Moderator, Mr. Hart, S. J. To Mr. Louis J. Haubert, S. J., who also conducted the orchestra during our Senior year is due unstinted praise lor the successful promotion of the College Brass Band. This Work, though several times attempted in the past, had never been accomplished until this Fall, when, to the delight of all, the strident notes of the Brass re-echoed over Fitton Field during the 'Tech game. John E.

There is at Holy Cross no 'tcourse in advanced athletics for anyone, however remarkable may be his ability on the gridiron, diamond or track, there is no eluding an hour of class tor practice or competition in any branch of sport. The Purple athlete is a student, strikingly prom- inent in his classes as well as on the field. lIe is not a composite of physical perfection or athletic genius and a scotlfer at the intellectual and moral phases of 'college training, but on the contrary he is, in the truest sense, a college man, a student in the hours which demand mental concentration, an athlete in the hour of recreation. Thus does the Holy Cross standard subordinate athletics to the training that is loftier and of more lasting benefit. As in the past, baseball still reigns at Holy Cross. In this branch, at least, none ot' the sis- ter colleges or lauded universities, however 'great their fame and enrollment, can as yet dictate terms to the Purple. All are glad to journey to VVorcester to compete on our Fitton Field before the enormous and enthusiastic crowds among whom the good reputation ot' Holy Cross on the diamond is so widespread. There has also been a marked advance in football, the schedule even now contains the names of the leading educational institutions as rivals on the gridiron. The Mt. St. James team is fast gaining recognition among the i'Big Four, by her grit and untiring en- ergy. In track too, we cannot but notice steady progress. YVe have won points in the New ling- land Intercollegiate and have competed against the leading teams in dual meets on Fitton Field. In every department of athletics Holy Cross holds an enviable place, not alone because of numerous and glorious victories, but because of the true and clean spirit of sportsmanship of which our purple banner is the emblem. May she ever thus persevere, her progress lulimpeded, her bright reputation unblemished, until as is proper, she shall equal a11d surpass her strongest rivals, not only in the number of her conquests on the gridiron, diamond and track, but even more in the loyalty of her heart.

JOY Football 1 l x 66932 '95 TIHE PURPLE PATCHER 167 Emily Glrnaz nn the Grihirnn In nearly every college or university in which the true value of athletic training is judic- iously acknowledged Zllld its practice given due importance there will be found one branch of sport which stands forth more prominently than the others, by which the name of the institution will be more widely proclaimed a11d its efforts lauded. Such is and has been the case at Holy Cross for the fame she has wo11 by the standard quality ot' l1er baseball teams is undying. As a consequence of this, football has been given a secondary place, and the success of the Purple in that field has been oscillating. Football progress at Holy Cross has always been hindered by many obstacles. In former y ars few athletes registered at the college who were reputed to excel in work on the gridiron. This is not meant to inter that lloly Cross TCSIUS l1ave not been able to boast of brilliant players. The 112111108 of Larkin, Reid, Pallotti and Triggs are still widely known and honored as men who made and distinguished Holy Cross elevens of the past. Again, the marked lack of suliicient time for due training in this branch and the former dearth of live interest in its success have impeded the progress toward fame on the gridiron. Ut late however, the Mt. St. James institution has in great degree increased her etiiorts ill this line of sport and in what was fornlerly a secondary branch she is t'ast approaching the en- viable position which is hers on the diamond. The number of men to try out for the team has shown a decided increase each year, and great interest and enthusiasm have been aroused, by tl1e apparent step forward oi' lloly Cross elevens. This advance has made itself evident in various ways. Our victories have become numer- ous, attendance at the games has increased, the schedule has grown proportionately until it now includes games with the leading universities where football holds tirst place. The perseverance ot' the Holy Cross athlete is being rewarded, in spite ot' the many disappointments. The Holy Cross spirit and characteristic grit cannot be overcome by mere defeat. Much ot' this success is due to the untiring efforts of Timothy Larkin in coaching the team and the numerous Alumni who volunteered their aid in directing the men. Few or none have been compelled to abandon their work on the gridiron because of failures in studies. The men have labored faithfully and untiringly, not for personal distinction, but forthe reputationofAlma Mater. And it is Alma Mater who is fast reaping the benefit of their labor for the time has arrived when her football teams are acknowledged worthy opponents of the most reputed elevens. 1908 FOOTBALL TEAM THE PURPLE PATCHER 169 Smmnn nf 151113 It was in 1908 that lloly Cross gave the first material evidence ol' her determination to at- tain to a position ol' eminence among the highest in the football world. No unbroken chain ol' victories was the cause ol' this new energy becoming so strikingly apparent. Such an unpropor- tionate stride to success could not be expected of an almost wholly new team and against such widely reputed and experienced teams as were listed on the schedule. The Purple eleven however, succeeded in del'eating l'our out ol' the eight teams whom they lined up against, and among those whom lloly Cross outplayed were numbered some ol' the best minor college teams in the liast. The manner in which our men battled against sueh teams as those representing Yale and lbarl- mouth was as much a sonree ot' eneouragement as weie the victories. ' Norwich University was the Purple eleven's lirst opponent and the game resulted in llolv Cross opening her season with a victory, 5-0. The boys next journeyed into the land ol' the tlreeh Mountains to dispute the elaim ol' the liniversity ot' Vermont to superiority. This game resulted in another 5-0 score, but the Vermont institution was victorious. Yale as was expected, downed lloly t'ross but only by an IS-0 score which was a decided im- provement over the 52-0 score ol' 1007. The great del'ensive play ol' our boys brought. forward much l'avorable comment. One week later the strong liowdoin eleven was worsted by ,lloly Cross bv a 12-5 gem-Q in one ol' the lattel-'s best exhibitions ol' l'ast l'ootball. tlur team kept up the good work bv scorino- fill Dartmouth in the next game in order, though defeated by the tiieen, IS-5.i ' 5 A 28-0 defeat at the hands ol' Trinity in no wire diminished the lloly t'ross grit and Tufts was her next? victim, score ti-0.

An unusually small number of candidates answered the lirst summons to practice. The squad however soon made evident the encouraging fact that it possessed in qual- ity what it lacked in quantity. Dearth of a suliicient number of substitutes l'ormed the greatest setback of the season, nevertheless the plucky and clever team which represented Holy Cross proved itself a credit to Alma Mater. A decisive victory on our tield over Norwich University opened the season. In this game the Purple rolled up a score ot' 18-0. New Hampshire State next succumbed to our eleven, and the tally read lil-0. . ln the contest against Yale at New Haven, in which, though Holy Cross was del'eated I2-tl, our team put up a hard battle against the Blue and with their speed and grit kept the Hull llog worried, Yale began to recognize in Holy Cross no mean opponent. Trinity lined up against our eleven on Fltton Field the following Saturday and what was one of the hardest fought games of the year resulted in a tie score ' Still smarting with the sting of a defeat' at the hands of the Purple the year bel'ore, Bow- doi11 journeyed to Worcester and revenged herself by downing the home team 5-0 in an exceeding- ly close contest. Our men held up wonderfully against llartmouth and they crossed our goal line but twice, the game resulting in a 12-tl score. Fortune favored Fordham when Holy Cross lined up against her in New York and we we1'e defeated tl-5 by a touchdown which was the result of a lucky accident. W. l'.

Even the schedule was beginning to manifest striking proof ol' the progress aml success ot' Holy Cross on the 0'1'1tlI'Oll ,, . I Yale was our first opponent' and though in score 'the.g'ame was a repetition ol' that of the previous year, the .Purple put up a tar stronger battle against the Blue and forced the latter to recognize her as a dangerous opponent. The first ol' the two 0-0 ties which the 1010 season witnessed was the game with Sprinfflield Training School. Colby was then downed on Fitton Field in a close QEIIIIGYNVHTI a Iinal scthze ol' p:0..

To Coach Timothy Larkin and members of the Alumni who so kindly volunteered to aid him in the work of coaching, as well as to the earnest spirit and determination of the men themselves, no little credit is due for the remarkable development of this seasonts eleven. The Purple team in 1911 was confronted by the most difficult schedule ever undertaken by Holy Cross. Light in weight but speedy and plucky to a wonderful degree, our boys allowed no easy victories to their oppo- nents, but on the contrary, the strong elevens of Yale, Harvard, Dartmouth, Princeton and Springfield were forced to exert their greatest efforts to conquer the Purplegridiron wariors. Not a team could etl'ect consistent or substantial gains through our line. The game with Boston College opened the season and the latter was defeated 13-0. Fore tune frowned on the Purple eleven in the Yale game and we were defeated 26-0. The score can- not tell the real story of the game for Holy Crossfurnislied a great battle against the the latter earned but six points. The Yale goal line was constantly threatened. One touchdown and one tield goal gave Harvard a victory over Holy Cross, and surpassed our highest hopes by keeping the score down to S-0. ln the greater part of the game, the Crimson eleven was completely outplayed. Dartmouth was Holy Cross' next great opponent and the Green was fairly outclassed in almost every feature of the struggle, as all were forced to admit. The game saw no touchdowns, two field goals by Dartmouth making the final tally read 6-0. Massachusetts Aggies were downed 6-0 on Fitton Field. Princeton succeeded in conquer- ing the Mt. St. James eleven 20-0, the Purple team being i11 a badly crippled condition. Among our strongest rivals was Springfield T. S. and Holy Cross sultered defeat at her hands by a score of 12-0. Colby was without difficulty overcome and sent home bearing the sting of a 24-0 defeat. In the 1011 season, the team accomplished a feat that the two preceding teams had failed to perform-the humiliation of Tech and this, too, by the overwhelming score ol' 35-0. This ended a Blue and the latter season of brilliant success. Members of 1911 Team I-fbvliilillll P. Joy. captain, Francis P. Craig, manager, Jalnes F. Tobin, James J. Monahan, Xvllilfllll J.

This may be ascribed to two causes. The most' l t t' ff-ttinff sufficient suitable material for a well balanced track team, gh the men who have represented the Purple on commendation, nevertheless, the reputation ot' striking ditticulty is t ltl' o gc A ,, and this barrier arises from the fact that althou the track have always been worthy ot' the highest' widespread as in other departments. Again, the Holv Cross on the cinders has not yeti become as baseball and football teams have absorbed the encouraging progress and increasing fame of her track athletics. interest of the student body to the detriment of gress of our track teams is no less apparent than And yet' in spite of these setbacks, the pro that of other branches of sport. The squad, yea1' after year, becomes larger and stronger. Each schedule contains more and larger meets than the preceeding. We are fast gaining recognition on the track, and the day is not far away when the Iloly Cross Track Team will enjoy the same consensus ot' praise and widespread reputation which is now hers on the gridiron and on the dia- mond. ' SEASON OF 1909 Our Freshman year, we witnessed a relay team that was recognized as one of the foremost in the college world. The class of 1912 was ably represented on the 1909 track team by Danny,' Mahoney. On the tith of February our relay team defeated the Boston College quartet at' the B. A. A. 'runes -md the Purple came forth an easy victor over Trinity, Tut'ts and Wesleyan in a f0UI'-COI'- Pl L, C , nered relay race at the inter-collegiate meet' in the state armory, at Hartford, Conn., on February 19th. In this meet, Danny Mahoney set a new collegiate record ot' 4:3-5 seconds in his heat in the 40 yard dash, but captured only third place in the tinals. Jones '11, and Daly ,09 tinished in second a11d third places respectively in the mile run. NV. P. T. relay team was defeated by the .Purple Four at the indoor meet of the Emmett Guards in Worcester. In a one mile championship triangular relay race at the Fordham indoor meet' in New York on March 20th, Holy Cross finished second with Fordham the winner and Georgetown last. Bill McKenna won third place in a novice Ttl yard dash. 1910 RELAY TEAM THE PURPLE PATCHER 179 Svraann nf 15111 At the beginning of our Sophomore yearwe had a bright outlook for a. successful season on the track. Two cross country runs were held over a course of approximately four miles, and they proved a decided success, as did the intercl ass meet in which the Freshmen were victors. First Cross Country Run-lst, Donahue, '11, 2nd, Duffy, '11, 3rd, Baxter, '13, 4th, J ones, '11.

McKenna, '11, Jones '11, Rochford '10, and Mahoney '12, defeated Boston College. Our track team carried off the trophy cup at the Emmett Guards' meet over Brown, W. P. I., Bates, and others.

Fordham defeated our relay team at New York on February 26, in a closely contested race, thereby winning the championship of the Jesuit colleges. Although but a small squad of candidates reported for the out-door season in the Spring of 1910, nevertheless our capable coach, Thomas Holland developed a team of which Holy Cross was justly proud. On May 14th, we competed in a triangular meet with W. P. I. and Rensselaer Tech at the Worcester Oval, and again the class of 1912 was admirably represented by John B0- land, who, with Capt. McKenna. was chief point winner. Inexperienced as were the majority of our men, we finished third with a total of 30 points which were won as follows: 100 yd. dash--1, Boland, H. C.

Boland, '12, for four years one of the chief mainstays and fastest sprinter on the Holy Cross Track squad, was elected captain of the 1912 team. The Purple opened her winter season at the indoor meet of the Coast Artillery in the State South Armory at Boston, Jan. 27th. The relay four were defeated by Brown after a hard fight. Capt. Boland qualified in the 70-yd dash but was unable to secure a place in the Bnal heat. In the B. A. A. games, Feb. 10th, the Holy Cross quartet defeated Georgetown. The Provi- dence Armory meet, Feb. 22nd, was next on the schedule, and there Tufts fell a victim to a Purple relay team composed entirely of substitutes. Trowell, '11, also won second honors in the 50-yd dash. On February 24th, the relay team went to New York where it was conquered by the fast and well balanced team representing Fordham. This meet ended the indoor season. As we go to press we are pleased to note that Manager Donald R. O'Brien, '12, has signed a two year contract for 1912 and 1913 for dual meets with Colgate University. The first of these will take place at Hamilton, New York, Saturday, May 4th, 19123 the second at Worcester some- time in May, 1913. This is perhaps the longest trip ever undertaken by a Holy Cross Out- door Track Team. The Purple will also take part in the Annual Meet of the N. E. I. A. A. at Springfield on Friday and Saturday, May 17th and 18tl1, and we are confident the boys Will make a record showing. To Coach Dr. Joseph O'Connor, an Alumnus of Holy Cross is due the greater part of the credit for the success of the 1912 track team. The earnest manner in which he entered upon his duties and his magnetic personality won him a place in the heart of the student body in general as well as the athletes. The class of 1912 is justly proud of Captain Boland who so ably and commendably repre- sented her in Varsity Track. From his work on the track here during his four years he has won an enviable reputation as a sprinter. To William P. Joy, too, we must render a large share of the praise for his work on the relay teams and also in the outdoor field events. These men, as have all the other 1912 athletes, have served their Alma Mater well and reflect deserving honor on the class of which they are members, besides making a reputation to be proud of in the college sporting world.

Even though of late years great progress has been made on the gridiron and on the track and greater enthusiasm along these lilies has been mani- fested, baseball perseveres as the favorite and bids fair to do so as long as there is a Holy Cross. Considering these facts, it is no cause for wonder that the Purple baseball lights are so widely sought after by the Major leagues which are universally hailed as the criterion of baseball perfection. It is not mere ability on the diamond that alone makes the Holy Cross baseball play- er a favorite but there is added a strength of character, a determination, a sense of the true sportsmanship which follows so logically from the Holy Uross training, a11d it is this inituencc that makes the lioly Cross man all that is to be desired i11 an athlete as well as in a citizen. lVear- ers of the Purple have been the sensation of Big League baseball and in proof of this state- ment we have only to mention the names oi' Coakley, Carrigan, Powers, Flynn, and Jack Barry, who is today the idol of all followers of the national game. Moreover, some of these men have participated in the worldis series. Our primacy in the baseball arena serves to wipe out the sting ot' defeat i11 many cases ot' former contests on the gridiron and track. In this sport, the best of the big universities, yes, even the renowned Ilarvard and Yale, are glad to ct-me to Worcester and to compete on Fitton Field bet'ore the great crowds of Holy Cross admirers. .lloly Cross is not dictated to on the diamond, victory over the Purple is truly considered as well earned on every occasion. The Holy Cross teams never quit, whether they be far ahead ot' their opponents, or when Fortune is against them. We do not in this word of connnendation, mean tio have the reader infer that we consider the Mt. St. James baseball player unconquerable. A baseball season without defeat would be truly a dangerous as well as remarkable happening. It is in time of defeat that the Holy C1-oss Athlete displays his real mettle, for he possesses that golden quality of true sportsmanship, the quality ot' being a good loser, as well as an enthusiastic victor. Such is baseball at Holy Cross and may her athletes always persevere in the loyal spirit which has ever characterized the teams of Mt. St. James for then the Purple must necessarily be accorded the supremacy she has always merited and always possessed. 1909 BASEBALL TEAM THE PURPLE PATCHER 187 Swann nf IHIIEI The baseball schedule of our Freshmen year was adorned with such names as that of Yale, Harvard, Dartmouth, Brown, and Penn. and to these the Purple nine administered defeat. With Dowd, Mahoney, and Foley as pitchers, and Larkin catcher, Holy Cross had a battery which was one of the best in her history. The class of 1912 contributed largely to the success of the 1909 team in the form of Danny Mahoney, third base, Frank Craig, second base, Fryer, short stop, and Joey Whalen in the outfield. Our boys opened the Southern trip by adminis- tering a defeat to the Unive1'sity of Penn., 11 to 0. The season of our Freshman year we witnessed one of the best exhibitions of baseball ever seen on Fitton Field when in the last few innings of the game, the purple stockinged players with the odds all against them downed Harvard. The Crimson had the advantage of a lead of six runs up to the seventh inning when our boys humi- liated the far famed Hicks, Harvard pitcher, thereby winning an uphill battle.

The second string , men who were sent to the mound for the Purple had not as yet rounded into form and as they lost to several smaller colleges the team could not have been blamed had it become disheartened and played a somewhat listless game. Despite these setbacks the fans still pinned their faith to the Purple nine and were amply rewarded when the team came out victorious in the games with the Big Four, games which de- manded the utmost exertion of brain and brawn. These victories of the team bedecked 'Coach Dyer with new and well deserved honors. The fact that this year was the first in which Coach Dyer was the real factor in develop- ing' the latent powers of the Purple aggregation redonnds particularly to his credit. As a coach he has acquired an enviable reputation and is to be l'elicitated on his success in producing: a fast and capable team from a squad, which, with the exception of a l'ew men, was unskilled in varsity work. To McNulty, who by his industry worked up the schedule, credit must be given for arrang- inga schedule comparing favorably with, if it did not even excel, those of previous years. lt was a season made memorable by the trimnvirate Foley, Mahoney and Regan, the ex- ceptionally splendid work of the machine like in iield and the natural, hard-hitting powers ol' such men as Flynn, Burns and Captain Jones. l'1-obably the best games of the season were the two with Fordham and llarvard respec- tively, while both Yale games and the battle with Williams will live long in the baseball lore ol' the three colleges.

Rain THE PURPLE PATCHER 191 Svraann nf 1911 The opening of this season found the Purple nine not quite up to its usual high stand- ard. The first few games were marked by rather loose playing on the part of both teams and this feature did not aid the team in building up a fast and competent aggregation. In fact it was due to Coach Dyeris persistent efforts and the buoyant spirit of the players that the team rounded in- to form so speedily. Owing to, Mgr. McHugh's efforts a schedule was made up with the hope of conserving the fC1'tlll,S strength for the games in which all the te amis reserve forces would be called into play. The wisdom of this plan was made evident by the brilliant games with Penn., 1-05 Dartmouth, 1-05 and Harvard, 4-1. Lynch and Dunne were the premier pitch ers for the Purple and on various occasions show- ed the baseball sagacity for which Holy Cross pitchers have been remarked. Captain Kennedy, who succeeded to the position after the drafting of 'tDan Mahoney, Craig, before suffering a broken leg. and Cawley were the particular stars on the ffefensc. while Gans by his steady back-stop work and timely hitting also won honorable mention. Our own lit- tle i'Joe Whalen established an enviable record for certainty in handling all chances in the cen- tre field. Summing up the teamis work for the season we claim with justifiable pride that the Pur- ple team upheld the traditions of Holy Cross by humbling her old rivals and gaining a wide- spread fame among the other aggregations as a Iormidable opponent.

Several important games had been lost when the nine left to meet the Princeton team which had so far proved to be the stumbling block for all clubs, losing but one game in fourteen. lt was consummated, Holy Cross won, 6-4. This was indeed a signal victory, for it was the first time in the history of Holy Cross that she had defeated Princeton and that too when Princeton was reckoned as the mightiest opponent in the college world. All the departments are particularly well taken care of, the infield being very strong hav- iug Cawley. and 'f0ld Tieliablev Craig, on third and short stop respectively. The latter is especial- ly brilliant in the field besides being a timely hitter, and if no more accidents befall him, will at the end of the season, have made a record surpassed by no short stop in the college world Dube is a new find and from the Princeton game pitched by him we can expect a splendid record for the seasonls work. He is unusually steady in pinches. Lynch and Red Murray are essentially hot weather pitchers and we look to Lynch fo show his old-time form while Murray is a ff-lack Barry find and will stand prepared to go the limit. Cilmartin and McManus show up well too. 1 Even in the fenfphing qlgpnrtnnmt there is no dearth of good material for we .have the in- domitable Ed,' Gans, as first string catcher. Hurley gives a good account of himself and fills in Oecasionally as a good pinch hitter while Costello and Creamer form no slight addition to this department. Twomey and Jimmie 0'Rrien take care of everything in their respective gardens and show up especially well at the bat. Dan Kennedy for two years our captain, performs well in the outfield and Joe Murray has already gained a name as waiting batsman. lVith Cstergren on first and Volk. the brilliant fielder, and hard hitter on second the squad is complete and since the team as a whole, is developing good hitting ability it must be said that the team as at present constituted forms a singularly fast aggregation. Reviewing the results attained thus far by the other clubs we find that Holy Cross holds no mean position and we can feel assured that when the last game shall have been played Holy Cross will lead in the list of games fairly fought and fairly won, and may justly lay claim to the college championship.

However, constant and diligent practice was not without' its fruits, for Holy Cross may now pl-ond ly as well as justly boast of skilled tennis players among her students. In May, 1911 the Amherst, Aggies visited lVoi-cester to lneet our team on the Holy Cross courts which, without any exaggeration rank with the hest, both from artistic and practical points of view. While the results fave red the Amherst tfAggies, still we consoled our- selves with the thought that our first venture into the college tennis world could hardly be other- wise.

It was in November of our first' year that the class Iirsti demonstrated its ability in ath- letics by holding the Junior team, the recognized champion ol' the college, to a 6 to 5 score in one ol' the greatest class football games ever played on Fitton Field. Again that same week the strong Prep team was played and decisively beaten. lt was in these games that Pete Mona- han, Bill Collins and Guin Gilmartin distinguished themselves and proved that they were football men of Varsity calibre. In the last year of Varsity basketball it fell to the distinction of the class of 1912 to form the nucleus ot' the team by furnishing of the five men, two, Hiker Joy and Packy Reynolds, who in spite of the fact that it was their tirst year in college far outshone their older and more ex- perienced teammates. In addition to the enviable record made in these branches of athletics, the showing we made in baseball in the Spring of 1909 is one that far surpasses any in the his- tory ot' the class athletics in the college. After furnishing seven men to the Varsity baseball tealn the aggregation which was gathered together to represent the class was one in which improve- ment could hardly be made. All the class teams ifell easy victims before us a11d even the P1'ep', team with its wealth of Varsity material was unable to take our measure. X xgxz CLASS FOOTBALL TEAM THE PURPLE PATCHER 201 Sophomore H2817 Returning in Sophomore with greater experience and more available material we' again prepared to carry off the honors, but the forniida ble array of our 111011 caused a hurried disbanding ofthe other teams with the result that the series failed to materialize. It was this lull in class athletics which caused Pete Monahan and Bil I Collins to seek the Varsity and for the remain- der of their years in college to form, together with Hiker, an invincible trio of gridiron stars. When Winter ushered in the ,basketball games, the class found itself without a leader with the result that 1912 finished almost at the bottom of the ladder. However the series served to experience many members who afterward were to bring prizes to the trophy room of the class. Never disheartened, however, track work was entered upon with a vim and with such runners as Joy, Whalen and Boland to rely upon we succeeded in capturing our share of the prizes and in finishing well up among the leaders. In baseball tl1e team again lived up to its reputation due mainly to the heavy hitting of Bill Collins, who decided to quit the Varsity after being the target of a batted ball, and the fast fielding of Ducky Welch, who covered acres of ground illld nailed 111any a would-be scorer by his speedy and accurate throws. 202 THE PURPLE PATCHER Zluniur Bear Our football team, in the year 1910, trotted to Fitton Field with the utmost confidence. Pitted against heavier and more experienced teams, we more than 11eld our own, until a bad break of luck gave the Seniors the championship for the season. However it was not until after forty minutes of the most spirited struggling that we were returned tl1e losers by the score of 11-U. In this game Gilmartin by his clever running and Toner by his hard tackles deservedly won the praise of all. When the thud of the basketball brought music to the ears of many, eight sturdy candi- dates appeared weariug the purple and gold colors of the class. After many a grilling contest the series narrowed to a choice between the Juniors and Freshies. The final game found the 1912 team succumbing to the Freshmen after a listless game thus giving the championship to the 1914 men with 1912 a close second, only one game behind. The next Spring found the same baseball team as of yore ready to meet all comers on the diamond. The eleven to nothing defeat administered by the Seniors in football was more than atoned for when we trounced the upper class men to tl1e tune of 11-7. The pitching of Hiker and the all-round playing of Whalen featured the galne. This year also a novel event was intro- duced, namely thc rope pull. After vainly endeavoring to coax tl1e dignified Seniors into a struggle, we readily accepted the challange of the Sophs', to a hemp stretching contest and won a most gruelling event after fifteen 1ne11 had tugged and strained at the rope for two long min- utes. 1912 CLASS BASKET BALL TEAM INTER-CLASS CHAMPIONS 204 THE PURPLE PATCHER Svvninr Hear When we joined the ranks for our last year, it was not long before the crisp winds and the dull days instilled into us the yearning to get ba ck to the gridiron and the pigskin. Accordingly the heavy weights of the class not playing on the Varsity formed a team and sallied forth to bat- tle the speedy Juniors. In an exciting contest the Juniors came home the winners by the score 11-0. One feature alone serves to keep the game fresh in our memoryhand that is Dish Gal- lagher and his ability to run back punts. Catching the ball at all angles Skiv was never at a loss to net a gain of from fifteen to twenty yard s, at each dash down the chalk lined iield. Dutch Marron and i'Jack Sullivan also won h onorable mention by their consistent playing during their last two years. Three years playing together served to bring about the result so long aimed at and that too with the most remarkable record ever established in the college, namely, the championship in b-asketball with but one defeat to mar the fair record. Under the guidance of l'etei' Monahan the team was never headed, and the sole defeat by a single point was the result of an accident rather than of a superior play. To pick the star of the team would be a ditiicult task so well did each man uphold his position, still the steady playing of 'tPete and the accurate shooting ol' Whalen cannot be passed over without a parting word of praise. Fresh from the triuniplis of the basketball floor the baseball team of Senior stoutly upheld the high mark set by the previous teams, and as the last representative of our class athletics bears witness to the prominent fact that 1912 was never found wanting when sturdy men and athletic ability was needed.

We will call to mind the honored men that have sat at our guest table, and the speeches coming right from the heart sparkling with spontaneous felicity or sobered with salutary words of profit. Good will and liberality reign amid these happy gatherings. All personal feeling save those of sincerest regard are laid aside. The walls are decorated with the banners of all our sister colleges ,thereby indicating the open heart and breadth of view of the Holy Cross man. The banquet belongs most peculiarly to the class, but none the less we may claim that these occasions help the greater cause of college spirit and loyalty. A remembrance of the speeches that have been heard on those nights, when we were in the best of humor to listen, shows the virility, the wholesomeness of such an affair. The cares of the day are laid aside under the subtle infiuence of the banquets and a new era of quiet, of harmony, and loyalty comes upon us.

Gllaum hwtnrg Zllrezhman In the Autumn of 1908, one hundred and six eager-faced lads passed through the portals of Holy Cross, and then and there began the history of a class that will long be remembered, both by the faculty and the student body. Those of us who came alone from parts unknown, felt the pangs of that terrible malady known as homesickness. Many a fellow looked out of his window into the dim light of early evening and thought of the parents tand othersj he had left at home. It was not long, however, before we began to feel the spirit, characteristic of our college, pervad- ing our veins, namely that of Brotherly Love. When we came to know one another, the first thought to enter the minds of the politicians in the class was an election of class officers. Fu zzy McGowan, with the aid of able lieutenants, made out a slate, and sent it through with flying colors, himself being down as President. Holy Cross Night saw us bedecked as infants and all conceded us the hit', of the even- ing. Indeed, many thought we had a real baby in our midst when they gazed on the infantile Visage of Blondy . Many and ludicrous are the memories of our first year here, but of all who of us will ever forffet the melodious voice of Dave as he caught us in other rooms. Take Ten Z became a by- D word among us, and witl1 many it came so often that theiris was the pleasuret ?j to pace the board walk for two weeks as a result of trying to corner all the demerits. None of us will ever let slip from our memory that night before Easter vacation when some of the night-owls in the class planned that rough-house which worked so well until Bob 0'Brien spoiled it all. As an after-etfect, some of us will never forget the pleas for confession and the iron-hand of 'tDaveJ' On our return from the Easter holidays, our weeks before the Finals were lnade short by the sport of all sports at Holy Cross, baseball. That year saw our class well represented 3 in fact, in some games she could count as her sons six of the nine players upon the field. Before we real- ized it, the 'tFinals were upon us, and those of us who were not fortunate enough to be on the coveted Eighty List,'l remained after our classmates had left, until we also, happy in the thought that the Exams were over, left Holy Cross at the close of our Freshman yearf THE PURPLE PATCHER 209 Svuphnmure It was with elastic steps and extended chests that we came back from vacation, proud in the fact that no longer could the lowly title of Freshmen be applied to us. lVe made our debut as residents of Alumni Hall by taking the upper corridor which the considerate Seniors and Juniors had overlooked. IIere we had for watchful guardians Fathers Kelly and Johnson, and that we never lctti the environments of said corridor for the remainder of our course argues well for the treatment accorded us by the Prefects. A few had migrated to other lands, among them Hill Heavey, who lured by the stories of the tropics, went to Porto Rico to teach the young natives there how to become good Ameri- can citizens. lVhile we missed those who had left, yet others came who ably tilled their places, among them being Dore, Dorger, and Russell. Little did we think then that in Dore we were going to have the makings of a class president in Junior, one who always reflected credit to our class by the superb manner in which he acted as its pilot through the turbulent seas of holidays and class rights. This year was marked by the formation of the Jurisprudence Class? and it any class had perfect attendance and zealous work it was this. Many the time the midnight oilt' was burned behind a bath-robe covered transom as we played our hunches as to the best way to get by? l3m,k was the professor in those days, as he afterwards was in Senior, just prior to 1'apers.', Another momentous occasion was the initiation of the members into the 'tFrat.,' The Jolly Eight met often in the 'tXVinchendon Hotel? a11d it was a sad night, indeed, when someone did not have tl1e story to tell of the bu ria! ot' a near and dear relative. The most im- portant function of the Frat', was the night of the Sophomore llanquef, when Dixie,', a new arrival among us, was accorded a reception which lasted into the early hours of the morning, and which was untimely broken up by the appearance of Mater. Two of our most.distinguished Sophs,,' 'tIIiker and Sammy, by an edict from the pow- ers, were ostracized from Alumni Hall, to languish in durance vile amidst the bleak and dreary corridors of f'Siberia. Another occasion worthy of mention was the day on which the College Club was once more the legal abode of wayfarers. XVhen the news was brought to us that a change in studies tor next year was to be inau- gurated, by wl1icl1 Latin and Greek were to be dropped for Juniors, it made us all study harder for the Finals that we might bid a fond and pleasant farewell to the bugbears of our college life. 210 THE PURPLE PATCHER Zlnninr With a hustle and bustle, a clatter of trunks and suitcases, the class of 1912 entered once more witl1in these hallowed walls, and it was not long before the furrows and gray hairs be gan to appear indicative of the dignified manner in which we were becoming embryonic fol- lowers of St. Thomas and his philosophy. Indeed, we had made such an impression on the faculty for our learning capacities that our class was divided into two sections, so that we might have better chances for acquiring the Ergos and Atquis as propounded by our professors, Fathers McLoughlin and Renaud. As a further sign of their appreciation of our abilities, that famous 'fCompulsory Elective, Political Economy, was given us. Another member was added to the list of students in the Jurisprudence Classf' in the person of Denny Curry. He had so many misfortunes happen to him in the sessions of this class that the name of Hard-Luck Jones was fastened onto him, and as Hard-Luck Jones he will always be cherished in fondest memory by us all. Two other new Juniors came to us, Jack Gillick from St. Anselms, and George Mahoney, the latter being the envy of us all on ac- count of his numerous hours of leisure, during which he cared for his pitching arm as though for a purse of gold. Were one to colne upon the campus Holy Cross Nighti' he would think he had wandered into Dante's Inferno, as we, clad in Satanic costumes, snake-danced about red tire. It made a wierd scene, and incidentally created a furore as we entered Fenwick Hall, where the Alumni and students had gathered. i None of us will ever forget that memorable day when we pulled the Sophs in a tug-o'- war. How the Seniors grated on our nerves with their pointing to their dignity as a reason for not accepting our challenge! The struggle with the Sophs ended in a tie, but what a tur- moil on Fitton Field afterwards as the entire numbers of both classes strove for possession of the rope! A new ordeal had to be undergone in Junior, namely, the Final 0rals in philosophy. Bannan, the first man in for them, was greeted with cheers as he came up the stairs, but sad to relate, there were some for whom the cheers were held in check, for the Finals proved their Waterloo, A few of us remained here for the Senior Prom, while tl1e rest left for their last Summer vacation as Holy Cross students. THE PURPLE PATCHER 211 Senior Seniors! What a glow of pride o'erspread our faces as we walked into these buildings for our last year herei The goal we had striven to reach was now near at hand, and we all entered with the determination to make this year our last and best. Our dear Rector, Father Murphy, was calleel to other fields, and it was with a pang of regret that we saw him leave us. Though it was with sorrow we lost one, yet it was with open arms and l1earts filled with the kindest wishes for a successful administration that we Wel- comed our new Rector, Father Dinand. He l1as found his way into the hearts of us all by his lovable disposition and friendly feeling toward us as a class. Many the stormy class-meetings were held this year, and President Harry Kelly had all he could do to restrain certain members of the class from becoming out and out anarchists. When we sent our advisory committee to the Rector, little did we expect the eloquent and straight-from-the-shoulder answer Father Dinand gave us in the classroom. It came so fast that it left us dumbfounded, and we resolved in the fu- ture to remain within our shells. The Society Twins startled us by their launching into the social world, and to cap the climax, held their famous NK. G. T. Party, which ended disastrously for both-in more ways than one. Sammy and Shenandoah could not get along without one another, and it was with deep regret that we saw him go. However, it seems that we always have the luck to have our vacant places filled, and this time it was Butch who put in an appearance, and still kept the number up to sixty-eight, the largest graduating class in the history of Holy Cross-if we all are lucky enough to graduate. The sand in the hour-glass of our course here is fast running low, and it casts a gloom o'er us all to think that soon we will pass from the hands of our kind and thoughtful professors into the world which lies beyond ready to receive us. If only we could see the future of every member of the class, how happy we would be! But it needs no miracle to show the feeling of each and every member of this class in the future years toward Holy U1-oss. Whenever Alma Mater feels that she needs the support of her Alumni, she will lind the class of 1912 only too eager to step forward as a body and render her GVCIQY p0SSiblL 1lSSiSfRI1C0- 212 1911.

This is the tale of some downcast youths, Who've lost their hearts in vaing Some to girls in the sunny south, Some to girls in Maine. It starts with the love of Will and L This twain no knife could part, Until a cold spell came alo11g, A11d froze dear Liza's heart. Then Jack and Girt appeared in view, Their love was strong, tis told: Until Jack introduced big Tom,- Ile was an athlete bold. Jack K. is also one of us, Ilis love was good at art: But now we fear it must be said That Kit, dear, had no heart. There are few who do not remeniher, That eventful day last yearg When Anna wrote to Connie, Good-bye! l'm engaged now dear. And still another from Lowell, Ilas not been very luckyg Some other chap was mean enough To marry l.eo's Ducky, Old Buck who is said to know more Than the fellows who wrote the book: Fell in love with a bony structure, But he quickly got the hook. Then James of Rutland loved a maid, It's the same old story and sad: She was a nurse-till Jim got sick, It's old 1 know, but it's sad. i, Old Red Rufus lost his heart, To a nice plump little niaidg But a life of single olessedness. Was lC1ni's choice, we're afraid. His roonnnate also loved a lass, Helen -but not of Troyg But Handsome Jack protested, When she winked at every boy. Then Doc' had a little ajfairc dc cocur, And he loved her in his wayg Until May the thirty-llrst, That was the last of May. Colne Fitz and his dear, divine Alice, The next pair into view. Fitz loved Al, and Al loved another, Now John's going to start anew. And now there's the lad from Dixie, Ile also had :1 loveg But Edith would rather be merely a friend, Than l'ldduh's turtle dove. Another Alice now appears, Wl1on1 Oke', thought pretty line: But 110W she's gone and Oke has get Another Baby mine. Dish took May,' to the movies, And to the baseball game: He even took her walking, But he's lost her just the same.
