hawk, while L. Don Betowski, Bob XVoods and Larry Bresnan are our able news hounds. Tom Carlin and Paul Gilvary contribute to the Rur- ple. The same staff of class ollicers is picked to lead us. During the winter months we find Tom Costello playing right wing for the hockey team with .lack Trayers and Herb Kerr carrying l on as alternates. The swimming team annexed its lirst intramural crown at the XVoreestcr Boys' Club, Joe Marnane, W7alt Byrnes, Joe Lo- Guidice, Len Langan and Ralph Smith forming a well balanced team that was strong enough to overcome all opposition. The debating team furnished us with our second unbeaten year: this time We were represented by Paul Gilvary, Pete Kennedy and Marty Healy. In the spring Joe Mulligan began to show .lack Barry that he had the stuff while Fred Morin continued to make the name of Morin famous in Holy Cross track annals. VVC were sorry to lose Larry Bresnan, whom we had all learned to value as a companion and Holy Cross man. Radios blossomed in nearly every room in Alumni. Wlc heard Guy Lombardo play Good-night Sweetheart and enjoyed the music of Ishani Jones, especially Let's Try Againfl The fall brought us back again, this time to Beaven. VVe were fortu- nate to gain as classmates Harry Kirwin, Bill Kelly and Jack McCartin. Captain McEwan counted heavily on our football men to help him produce a winning team. Charley Reiss, changed to end this year, was a star. Jebber Griflin, Bart Hanus and Fred Drescher kept apace with the others and upheld the tradition of 334 on the gridiron. The year gave rise to tl1e Mugwumps and another championship swimming team. The Prom was of course the most important social event of the year. Jim Bradley handled the affair in excellent fashion, making the week-end of February tenth long to be remembered. Ted Black played. The debating team again was successful, this time against the Seniors. Our record is now three straight victories. Ed Kennedy and Vvalt O'Haire are selected to edit the Patcher. Harry Kirwin heads the Philomath, while jim Bradley is president of the B. F. Harry VValsh becomes the leader of the Dramatic Society and Tom Shea has his splendid career with the Purple climaxed with his appointment to the editorship of that magazine. HARRY J.

Class of 1934 WALSH, 534 good weather We found our athletes again don- ning uniforms, Joe lVIulligan, John Horgan and Paul Tierney reporting for baseball while Fred Nlorin, Joe lVIulready and Charley Reiss an- swered the call for track men. In the interim we have Ed Moline, john lsmvAi1uJ.l'.-1-'ARRELL Quii-k, Jim Bradley, F1-ed lVIoriarty and Phil Macken debating, the latter three combining their talents to defeat the Sophomore team and start us on our winning ways in inter-class debating, an honor never to be relinquished during our stay on the Hill. Jerry Hearn is established as our song bird, with Tom Campbell and Art Wallace our leading entertainers. John Nlatthews and Ed Kennedy are writing for the Tomahawk, Tom Shea lends his ability to the Pur- ple. We hummed Little VVhite Lies and murdered Betty Co-ed.', The only distressing note of the Whole year was sounded when Joe lVIortimer's untimely death deprived us of a sterling classmate before many of us had the opportunity of knowing him intimately. The world was still wallowing in the throes of the depression when we returned, this time to Alumni for the most: difficult of all scholastic years. Charley Reiss was starring for the Varsity, the two Kennedys and Jim Mathias again write the Cross Campus column for the Toma-

T Bing Crosby crooned for Chesterfields, Night and Day became the favorite song, and Stormy VVeather became positively nerve rack- l ing. Our return as Seniors found us fully aware of the fact that soon we would be leaving the Hill and forced to face a cold and exacting world. Charley Reiss was captain of football and led his team to a highly successful season under ,-,m,,,,,, a new coaching staff. John Nlatthews assumed leadership of the Tomahawk, Jim Ma- thias, Ed O'Connell and Ed Moline ably assisting him. Good ice gave us an opportunity to spend many enjoyable hours playing hockey. Intramural basketball was again king of the winter sports with most of us participat- ing, Loyola 3 being barely nosed out of the championship after two play- off games. The new Gym gave us bowling alleys, a new basketball court and other paraphernalia. The nominations for Senior Ball chairmanship gave way to a radical change in the modus operandi. We selected a committee in lieu of a chair- man, honoring Joe Nlulready, Jack lVIcKenney, John Earls, Dick Har- tigan and Pete Sullivan. We had another unbeaten debating team conquering the Juniors, the last to stand between us and an unblemished record. Nlike McDonald, Harry Kirwinaand Jim Bradley representing us, kept our Hag unbowed. John Horgan captains baseball, Fred Morin track, Dick Hartigan golf, and Jim O'Shea tennis. To the presidents of the various clubs we gave the honor for the successful seasons. Fred Moriarty guided the des- tinies of the Aquinas Circle, Pete Sullivan led the Economic Club, Bill Walsh was the prexy of the Scientists. Dick lVIcC0rmick shot his way to the presidency of the Rifle Club, while Chick Romaniello led the Riding Club. Joe Benotti headed the Sodalists. ' Bill Kelly shines for the Crusader Ball Club, along with Doc,' Tier- ney and Red Horgan. Big Joe Mulligan's thumb is broken and heals slowly. We look forward impatiently to his toeing the mound again. The 'fPatcher goes to pressg we await its publication--Graduation, the Senior Ball, an opportunity to make practical our college training, at last full-fledged Holy Cross men. JOSEPH I. MULLIGAN
