The growth of Fairfield University is no exception. But between the dream and its fulfillment lies an arduous and often thankless task, which calls for men of great strength and foresight. The buildings of Fair field University stand in mute testimony to the tireless work of the man who made them possible. We, the graduating class of Fairfield University, who have seen both the dream and its fulfillment, humbly and gratefully dedicate these our memories of Fairfield to the Reverend Laurence C Langguth, SJ.

Inspired by thc Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius. he entered the Jesuit order and directed all his vitality to the task of furthering the Faith in the hostile world of the sixteenth century. He was present at the Council of Trent and fought heresy in Germany and Vienna, where he founded many colleges and universities in which the Catholic spirit was nurtured and developed. For his intellectual and literary accomplishments, St. Peter was made a Doctor of the Church at the same time that he was canon- ized. Dynamic in action, keen in intellectual perception, devout in personal life, St. Peter stands high as an exemplar of the Ignatian ideal and as an inspiration to all Catholic college students.

Another newcomer was standing there on North Benson Road squinting up at the building, Al, he said his name was, and as we shook hands I realized that I wasn't the only stranger here at Fairfield. There were a lot of other newcomers, too, and we were all young, tanned from the summer sun, and eager to meet the challenge of college life. l'm a little scared, Al confessed as we made our way into the maze of corridors, blank forms, and smiling wel- comes that were our first impression of Xavier Hall. But he was smiling broadly when we emerged a little later, slightly dazed, but now officially Freshmen of Fairfield University. Still feeling a flush of excitement, we made our way down to our new kingdom, the Cafeteria, a kaleidoscope of smiling faces, friendly hand-shakes, and brightly-colored booths planned to entice young Freshmen into joining extra-curricular activities. Later Al beamed proudly. Guess what! he said. I just joined seventeen clubs, including the N.F.C.C.S.! What's that? I dunno, but it must be pretty important! And then school began, and our formal introduction to the Ratio Studiorum. Wow, what a history teacher l've got! Al cried en- thusiastically. I can't pronounce his name but he's fun- nier than Milton Berle! Don't be too sure of yourself, Buddy, I cautioned. Wait till you get his first exam. Well, the first exam came, and the first disillusionment. Al sat in a corner of the Cafeteria looking a little shell- shocked. Well, how was the exam?'! I asked. Don't talk about it, he answered, a little shakily. I'm gonna drown my troubles in a coke! We met many unforgettable characters that first year. English students were brain-washed by Father O'Calla- han, Mr. Riel, and grey-maned Father Bonn, who played -singlehanded-Romeo, Juliet, the Nurse, and about half the population of Verona, and was terrific in every role. Some of us made our way into the political arena: Stan Sytka, Sal Gilbertie, Fran Doherty, and Stan Bartnik were our Student Council representatives. We had our athletes, too: Ken Felsmann, Tom Callan, and Brian Rogers were scoring aces of the Frosh basketball team. And a new secret society was formed: The Birdwatchers, they were called, in whispers, and the more elite of our class, Bill Doyle, Gordie Willard, and Gerry Gingras were initiated, and assured us that it wasn't a new Masonic order, though they seemed a little bleary-eyed from the initiation cere- mony. That hrst year ran swiftly by, and Al and I began to settle into the ways of college life in general and Fairfield in particular. You know, Al said to me one moming, It's too bad Mrs. Brady is already married. I've got a crush on her-that Irish charm and that coffee. What a combination-wow! I guess we all felt pretty much the same way, with our affections divided between Mrs. May and Mrs. Watkyns, who sort of adopted all of us. And there were opportunities in all directions. For the budding Carusos and Lanzas there was a Glee Club to compare with the finest in the country. And for those who loved controversy, well, there was the famed Blazer Issue. For some reason we picked as color fire-engine red, and Al and I were among the first to buy them. A week later we were mistaken for ushers in a Fairfield theater. One day Al turned to me with a rather surprised ex- pression on his face and said: Hey! We're sophomores! It was true. Somehow a year and a summer had passed, and we all developed a new-found maturity and savoir- faireg some of us were smoking pipes and even wearing vests. And-how could we forget-we were introduced to two striking members of the English department: Mr. Ed- munds, a sort of intellectual Mickey Rooney, and Mr. Meaney, who seemed to be a combination of Barry Fitz- gerald and Attila the Hun, and had a phobia against white bucks and students who talked like Maxie Rosen- bloom. This time we entered politics with all the enthusiasm and spirit of a rodeo, and out of the jumble of campaign posters and speeches four men emerged victorious: Bill Doyle, our first and very capable President, Paul Nagy, Vice-President, Pete McGovern, Secretary, and Howie Hickey, Treasurer. But they weren't the only politicians: Jim Masterson, Sal Gilbertie, and Fran Doherty were our Student Council representatives. Sophomore year was filled with isolated incidents that somehow fitted together in a colorful jigsaw puzzle both scholastic and social. It was the year that Tom Squires and the entire Knights of Columbus challenged Mr. Meaney's Irish ire, and even now it's hard to say who won that battle of principles. It was the year of the glorious St. Patrick's Day Parade, when even Italian and Polish students burned with zeal for the Old Sod and tramped proudly down Fifth Avenue with Fairfield ban- ners fiying. It was the year that the Glee Club made their first recording for R.C.A. Victor, and we all agreed that they made beautiful music together. It was the year of the touching Flowers for Father Shanahan gesture of the resident students. And this unforgettable year drew to a close in a blaze of fellowship and camaradarie in the testimonial dinners for Mr. Meaney and Mr. Edmunds, and as Al and I stumbled joyously home, he mumbled happily, It's been some year, hasn't it? But the best was yet to come. Junior year rolled in on a glowing Autumn afternoon and brought with it a crowd of nervous but eager Freshmen who brought back mem- ories to the mature sages of the Junior Class, and our Freshman Orientation Committee, headed by Fran Do- herty, stretched out a hand of welcome. The capacity crowds at Sullivan's that night assured us that our wel- coming campaign had been a rousing success. But as a class we were much too busy to bask in the glory of our acomplishments. We elected Mike Rossi our President, and he proved to be a tireless worker, as did Charley Conway, our Vice-President, Bob Berardi, our Treasurer, and Jack Weiss, our Secretary. This was the year that we all became philosophers. Father Sullivan introduced us to some chorus girls named Barbara Celarent and Darii Ferio, and Al tried unsuc- cessfully to organize a Suarez Fan Club, complete with beanies, membership buttons, and an autographed picture of Immanuel Kant. The social season began in a glitter of bright lightsand stardust, and culminated in a dazzling Winter Carnival weekend, in which Ralph Marcarelli and Jim Masterson subsittuted Jewish folk-dancing for the traditional ice- carvings. Ed Reynolds served as chairman for our long- awaited Junior Prom, and it was an evening well worth waiting for. Camel Quinn, the Irish charmer of the Arthur Godfrey program, entered Long Shore Country Club es- corted by a red-nosed leprechaun in a Fairfield blazer. Her charming rendition of When Irish Eyes Are Smiling was a fitting climax to an evening of music, moonglow, and just plain magic. That night all eyes were really smiling. It was a year, too, filled with miscellaneous memories. A minor tragedy occurred when the ping-pong table dis- appeared from the Cafeteria, and for weeks Father Far- rington roamed restlessly about the Cafeteria, seeking some outlet for his nervous energy. The last of our ideals was shattered when Mr. Riel bought a television set. Pete Baldetti's successful life at Fairfield reached a turning point when he was named Editor of the Manor, and Bill Keish and Paul Nagy received a well-deserved accolade when they were named co-editors of the Stag. There was a near riot in the Cafeteria one Friday when Mrs. Brady tried to make chowder out of Father Small's prize sailfish. The scholastic year ended in a thrill-a-minute Comedy of Errors staged by the budding philosophers of the Junior Class, and we did our best to entertain interrogators with- out benefit of script or background music. Most of us succeeded. Another summer passed and, it seemed, before we had even recovered from the rigors of our last final exams, we were starting a new year. But this time it was different. This time we were Seniors. It was a wonderful year. We began it with a glow of pride, not only because we were' Seniors, but because Fairfield had grown along with us. Canisius and Gonzaga Halls had grown up almost miraculously during the sum- mer. The Manor and the Stag moved from the old oflicc in Xavier to luxurious suites in Gonzaga Hall, leaving hc- hind them poignant mcmentoes in the form of old coke bottles, slightly used doughnuts, assorted paper bags and cartons, and holes in the wall created by hard-headed philosophers. New officers were at the helm of our class: Fran Doherty was our Presidentg Steve Kelly, our Vice- Presidentg Charley Williams, our Secretary, and Boh Hughes, our Treasurer. The Student Council began an- other eventful year under the leadership of Bill Doyle. Senior year sped by in a blur of social and scholastic excitement. Father Clancy and Father O'Brien introduced us to the stimulating world of Ethics, Father Mullin, re- plete with dry wit and deep respect for Dr. Hans Dreisch and his gang, opened up the fascinating world of Psy- chology to us. Senior year was the year in which everything seemed more significant, even the little things took on a special glow: Mrs. Bradyis coffee seemed more delicious, Mrs. May's smile even warmer, the Professors friendlier and wiser, the exams tougher, and even the parking lot seemed a special place, except for snowy days, when it resembled Nome, Alaska. This was the year of Senior retreat, when Father Bonn electrified us with his recounting of Christ's passion and the significance that it held for all of us. This year the Winter Carnival had a special magic for us, a magic created by the hard work of Chairman Emile Cote and by our own eager, receptive spirit. The Long Shore Country Club was once more the elegant set- ting for a dazzling formal dance set against a background of frost and ice and warmth and laughter. Jack Kelley, Chairman of the Formal, assured us awonderful evening, and the whole weekend, too, was unforgettable, particu- larly the blinding snowstorm that climaxed the festivities. We all agreed that the Winter Carnival had been appro- priately named. And final exams came, a formidable obstacle, it seemed, and all the more so because these would be the last for us. We emerged victorious, somehow, and even the Senior Orals-fifteen terrifying minutes of philosophical questions and stammering answers-couldn't stop us. Then came Senior Week, and with not only a fun-filled picnic and a memorable ball, but also a time to gather all the precious memories of days of scholastic, social. and athletic accomplishment, and just plain fun. And then came Graduation Day in a haze of pride and triumph and sorrow, too. After it was all over I shook hands with Al. So longj' he said. It's been great, hasn't it? So long, Al, I said. There was nothing else to say. And as I drove away down North Benson Road, I looked back for a moment and I could see Xavier Hall looming above the treetops, gleaming in the sun. And somehow, it was like leaving an old friend. PETER R. AMEDEO 35 Burton Street Waterbury. Connecticut B, B.A. B11.s'ine.s'.s Business Club 41 Waterbury Area Club 1.2.3.-1. ROBERT J.

The Sodality of Uur Lad The trademark of the Sodality of Our Lady of Fairfield is an eloquent statement of the purpose and spiritual function of the Society: Ad Major- em Dei Gloriam . Inspired by this motto, and under the special patronage of Our Lady, Fairfield Sodalists work to efiect the three-fold purpose of'the Sodality, sanctification of self, the sanctification of others, and thinking with the Church. This means an intensified effort to practice the prescribed daily spiritual exercises which result in an overflow of Apostolic endeavor. Afte a one year probation period, the Sodalists make a perpetual act of consecration to the Blessed Virgin Mary. As Sodalists, they attend weekly meetings and work in closely organized committees. A list of the Sodality's spiritual accomplishments in its brief existence here at Fairfield is an im- pressive one. Work' is done on campus to spread devotion to the Sacred Heart by encouraging stu- dents to join the Apostleship of Prayer and to attend amonthly Holy Hour in preparation for First Fridays. A special committee works to in- crease devotion to Our Lady by daily recitation of the Rosary, while C.T.S. Committee makes Catholic pamphlets and periodicals readily avail- able to the student body. A Liturgy Committee provides Mass servers and sacristans for daily Mass, and the special Missions Committee con- ducts a weekly mite box collection for the foreign missions as well as obtaining pledges to offer Mass and Holy Communion for the success of the missions. The Sodality also publishes its own monthly paper, the Flos Campi . Days of Recollection are sponsored, and there is an annual reception of candidates. Among the special annual events are a Mass of the Eastern Rite, the Novena of Grace to St. Francis Xavier, and a closed retreat. An unusually dedicated group of Sodalists work with deaf mutes, providing a recreation period followed by Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament and a short sermon in sign language. Also, to assist the parishes in the Fairfield area, the C.C.D. Committee sends out a number of Sodalists who instruct high school students in Christian doctrine classes. More than any other organization on campus, the Sodality is an integral and important part of Catholic college life. The Sodality belongs to Fairfield, just as Fairfield belongs to Our Lady.

Its pur- pose is to act as a mediation board between the student body and the administration and as a regulator of all college activities. The Council determines the policies of the Student Association and forms such rules as it deems necessary to properly execute these policies, thereby setting the standard and scope of operation for all student organizations. During the academic year of 1957-1958, under the capable guidance of its moderator, Rev. Rich- ard L. Rooney, S.J., and led by its competent president, William Doyle, the Council successfully grappled with and solved the numerous new prob- lems arising from an added classroom building and a record student enrollment. Through the combined efforts of its moderator, its officers, its committees and all its members, the Student Council is able to operate and func- tion in such a successful manner each year that it is recognized by the administration, the faculty, and by the students as the most important non- spiritual student organization on campus.

This year the Student Council-a touch of Democracy amid the disciplined rigors of college life-managed to achieve the un- usual as well as the usual. Beginning the year with the traditional ritual of collecting the Student Tax, the Council quickly turned to solving parking problems on campus, revising the Student Government Constitution, and taking steps to correlate and givc impetus to the campus organizations. These and other knotty problems were wrangled over, discussed, and, as far as possible, solved. For their work and tolerance in a diflicult and rather thankless job, the Council members merit the applause of the entire student body.

Thus, every resident student is given the opportunity to exercise initiative and potential leadership through participation in the Council's legislative activities. Among the Council's achievements is the Christmas spirit manifested by music played on campus loud- speakers, seasonal decorations on the buildings, and a gala Christmas party. In the field of sports, the Council spearheaded the enthusiasm for intramurals by award- ing trophies to the winning teams. Most important, the Council has also sponsored Communion Breakfasts and spiritual talks by members of the faculty. In the social sphere, the Council has sponsored dances and socials on campus and encouraged resident students to participate in student activities. As a mediation board between the students and the administration, the Resident Council has brought to a successful culmination its greatest year. Under Presi- dent Bob Carroll, it has handled its problems smoothly and effectively, laying the groundwork for future Councils. 6 at TT-i O Grand Vizier and attendants IIIIILIUII. I Ixclly.

That its name has been spread across the country, and even across the continent, is now evident, as we survey our many new buildings and our enlarged student body. culled from an ever-enlarging geographical area. Chief among our schooI's ambassadors is its ten-season-old Glee Club, which has risen from an enthusiastic group of forty voices making four or five appearances in western Connecticut each year to an ensemble of eighty-live, replete with a specialty group, the Campus Minstrels, and a barbershop quartet, the Ben- sonians. lt has pleased listeners in Boston, New York, and, in general, most of southern New England and New York State. Its current schedule includes an invitation to the Collegiate Competition at Scranton, Pennsylvania. The number of concerts has grown to the average of eighteen a season. The 62 Mr. Simon Harak. Director. 1 w Q Iii 'Ill I1 l Il: ua ol X W quality of its presentations is unquestioned, as it has received countless commendations which range to proficiency on a strictly professional level . Among its laurels are the New England championship in the 1954 Competition, held by the Bensonians and the Campus Minstrels. It has made two long-playing recordings on the R.C.A. label. Further, it was chosen to open the 1954 Pops season at Carnegie Hall. In all, its path has led constantly upward. A Glee Club, though, must be more than a group of men who enjoy singing together. There must be a vital force which unities it and directs its talent and enthusiasm. This force is personified in Mr. Simon Harak, its director, and Father John P. Murray, S.J., its moderator. .

Using as his chief tool an untiring desire to be best and a deep knowledge of music and stage sense, Mr. Harak has pleased not only audiences and critics, but, to- gether with Father Murray, has developed a group of young men with poise and dedication as well as talent. It is this poise and dedication which make FairIield's voices that little bit bet-, ter , and it is Father Murray who is be- hind the total production. It is he who holds together the first arrangements for the season in early production, he who conducts the business affairs of the club, he who starts to arrange all over again the public relations of each concert, and he who starts to ararnge all over again when the last concert is done. Not one of the graduating members of the Glee Club will ever forget these men and their inspiring example. n I l 4 l E 1 l -fd X Sf S N-1 ,dxf r' T? Mana-'ers managing W .

This club emerged as the result of the affiliation of the Pub- lic Affairs Forum and the International Affairs Club, up until 1955, two dis- tinct organizations. Since the reorganization, the P.A.- l.R.C. has channeled the activities of the minor political clubs and coalesced their separate activities into a more unified pattern. The P.A.-I.R.C. also sponsors many interesting lectures, de- bates. and panel discussions which otherwise would have been limited to narrower audiences of particular clubs. It is in this ways that greater interest is stimulated in Public as well as ln- ternational Affairs. First Row. left to right: J. Masterson. L. Fayette. R. Kaulbach. W. Lavery. J. Croake.

The Connecticut Intercollegiate Stu- dent Legislature is an organization in which the students from various col- leges participate in a mock assembly, thus gaining close insight into the workings of government. At this mock session the culmination of twelve months' preparation is realized, and if laying the groundwork for the passage of these bills is a difficult task, it is also a rewarding one. There are many executive positions on the C.I.S.L. to be filled by the stu- dents, and in the course of the year these delegates attend executive coun- cil meetings at the various colleges throughout Connecticut.

The stu- dents of Fairfield University can make a contribution to sound and good gov- ernment for tomorrow's society through education and actual participation in democratic processes. For this purpose the Collegiate Re- publican Club was formed in 1956. Among its man activities were a mock election on campus and numerous po- litical lectures. llcniocralh' fHtd1 'lhc Dciiiociatic C'lub, now complete ing its second year at laiilicld lfni' versity, has become one ol the most active cxti'a-ctirriculat' :activities on campus, As a highlight ol the year and in keeping with its policy ol' taking an active interest in local politics, the club sponsored a talk by Mayor Samuel Tedesco. lt is through such events as this that the Democratic Club hopes to encourage young voters to take an active interest in politics and public allairs.

The response to a campus unit of the Knights was instanta- neous. The first class of over forty men was initiated in April of that year. since then, membership has soared to over one hundred.

Donoghue, S.J., the Aquinas Academy of Fairfield University con- tinued in its fourth successful year as an organization dedicated to the development of philosophical talents. The eager philosophers of proven ability gathered early in the academic year to elect their ofiicers and decide upon an appropriate philosophical theme which would provide both intellectual stimulation and challenge to their eager desire to search for and acquire the truth. James Russell was elected President of the Academy. Other officers were Richard Preto-Rodas, Vice-President, Robert Hughes, Secretaryg and Joseph Chester, Publicity. Because of the topic's current significance, the Academicians centered their interests and discussions around the various con- cepts of the Natural Law, past and present. With keen intellectual analysis and mutual contribution the young philosophers plunged into the depths of the Natural Law and emerged with well-gathered concepts of the Law with regard to its definition, interpretation, and evaluation. In honor of St. Thomas, the Angelic Doctor and patron of the Academy, the scholars presented, in the form of a symposium, the fruits of their philosophical labors to the assembled student body.

The National Federation ol' Catholic Students represents over 200,000 students throughout the United States. lts primary end is to provide in service training for Catholic leaders. that they might serve their community more effectively. The training is given as a result of the Federations efforts in Christianizing and co- ordinating the co-curricular activities on college campuses. The Federation is also a service organization consisting of a group of commissions whose duty it is to conduct workshops and to disseminate to campus clubs material designed to foster the in- tellectual, spiritual, and social development of the student. The subject matter is diversified, ranging from Liturgy and Mariology to Industrial Relations and Inter-Racial Justice. Fairfield University directs two of the more active commissions: Family Life and Forensics. ln recent years the Forensics Commis- sion has been host to a Regional Forensics Festival which has drawn debators and contestants from the twenty-five colleges con- stituting the New England region. Fairfield's campus unit has brought much prestige to the University through its constant acti- vity in National and Regional policy. First Row. left to right: P. Baldetti. P. Kane. R. Harper. F.

By that, of course, we do not necessarily mean that it is illiterate, but rather that in days when even The Saturday Review of Literature has become merely The Saturday Review, we feel that a broader scope of interest is valu- able and demanded . . . This magazine, which we like to consider as a bright star on the horizon, represents the thinking and achievements of all the departments of the University. To offer a suitable outlet for the literary talents of its students and to cultivate in its readers a discriminating literary taste are no small accomplishmentsg but at the hands of Rev. John L. Bonn, S..l., the Moderator, and Editor Peter Baldetti, New Frontiers achieved an outstanding year in both regards. Gingras. W. Pleban. ylfliltl. R. Xaiiull. lx HL'lf'kll I lm lll.llllIL'llI.

The Stag ln its tenth year of operation, the STAG has grown considerably since its obscure origin as the FULCRUM, a 1947 mimeo- graphed newspaper which reported the events of Fairfield's first class. The STAG is now published bi-monthly in a sleek, con- ventional formal with an approximate circu- lation of 1200. The year 1957-1958 was a period of tran- sition for the STAG in more ways than one. lt was a period which saw a program of ex- pansion under the direction of its editors, Paul Nagy and William Keish, in order to keep abreast with the expansion of the en- tire university. Assisting in this overall oper- ation to give to the student body a wider range of news coverage were the depart- mental editors: Richard Cummings, News, William Lavery, Features, Lawrence Less- ing, Sports, Robert Kaulbach, Business Man- ager, Salvatore Gilbertie, Exchange Editor, Philip Swanson, Make-Up Editor.

' bright new surroundings seemed to bring new vitality to the staff. The office bustles with the clatter of typewriters the day that copy is due. After the initial proof-reading is completed, the copy is rushed to the printer's where the galley sheets will be pre- pared in a few days. A second proof-reading and make-up of the pages in the ofiice is followed by a second journey to the printer's where the final step of publishing is begun. The day before publication is spent settling details and giving the paper a final proof- reading. Finally the completed STAG is published and distributed, and over a thou- sand students -including wearied editors - can sit back and enjoy an issue filled with campus news, national items, special fea- tures, and controversial articles. In February of 1958, the STAG, its edi- tors and staff members along with moderator Father Sullivan, held its first annual banquet at Rudy's Steakhouse in Fairfield, a fitting climax to a year of hard work and excep- tional accomplishment.

During the following months the Manor oflice in Gon- zaga rang with sounds of mirth and merriment: Weiss crying for a balanced budget, Gingras wrangling for a round picture instead of a square one, Fayette screaming for more copy, Baldetti bemoaning deadlines that came and went without effect, and the printer calling for more material. Every day desperate hands prepared to throw in the towel, but from the depths of the oiiice came a still small voice: lf you won't do it, who will? and the work went on. Well, anyway, this is your 1958 Manor. The fact that it exists at all is a minor miracle and a tribute to the courage and magnitude of the human spirit. The Manor is your book, as it has been in a very real sense from its first conception.

That this principle is ellective when put into operation is evidenced by the success and prestige of the Business Club. Established in l95l as a vehicle for co-ordinating class-room theory with practical business insight. the Business Club has consistently presented a program ol' well integrated activities in a social-business vein for the interest of its members.

The Dramatic Society A comparatively new activity, the Dramatic Society was organ- ized in 1956. Its primary aim is to provide an opportunity for students interested in the theater to express themselves. Since its inception, the group has enjoyed a commendable measure ol success, growing and flourishing at an accelerated pace to its present place as an integral part of the extra-curricular activities on campus. Under the able guidance and direction of Mr. Robert Emerich and the moderation of Father Laurence Mullin, SJ., the Society's theatrical productions have been great successes. Their first one- act play, The Game of Chess , captured first place in the Ford- ham Play Festivals competition, and The Caine Mutiny Court- martial was given an immensely effective production at the Shakespearean Theater in Stratford, Connecticut. The Rising of the Moon was staged, as well as an elaborate production of Time Limit , the latter once more at the Shake- spearean Theater in Stratford. The projected plans of the Society point towards a growth in membership and an expansion in its program. l 78 L gf W' ' 1 4 iivf -ld I L f 4 .I 5 1 f', M! if anus? 1 , , ,5, 4 fjli 'li 11' ,ggi 1 N :Cl I na fig V :Eff .5 .vga 'lf A 1 , J 0 First Row. left to right: D.

The endel Club Through the diligence and hard work of its officers and members and under the expert guidance of its fac- ulty moderator, Father Francis X. Wilkie, S.J., the Mendel Club has grown into one of the best organized and most functional groups on campus. The purpose of the Club is to supplement the student's knowledge of the biological sciences by instilling an appreciation of the scope and trends of current research in these fields and to assist the pre-medical, pre-dental students in fulfilling their ambitions. Meetings are conducted every second week for the presentation of original student papers on the ethical, social, and economic aspects of Biology, as well as technical topics on recent medical research. The mem- bers publish an informative monthly paper, THE NU- CLEUS, which contains articles of biological interest, news of the Club alumni, and listings of new additions to the science library. In addition, periodic evening socials, to which mem- bers may invite guests, are held featuring prominent guest lecturers, movies, and demonstrations in the vari- ous fields of medicine and biology. Another event always anticipated by the members is the annual Sym- posium. The Club may well be proud of its alumni. Several who began by reading biological papers at these meet- ings are now practicing doctors and dentists, and one has been honored with an invitation to lecture at world famous Woods Hole, Massachusetts. 5 Biology Bur-Mitzvah.

From a small but enthusiastic group of five members, it has grown to a larger but no less enthusiastic number. Its growth has not been with- out recognition: the Club is now a member of the American Chemical Society, an afiiliation which has proved to be a source of many stimulating ideas for development. The Club holds weekly meetings in which students deliver reports on particular topics in Chemistry and allied fields, and publishes The Condenser , which includes articles printed by the students themselves. Officers of the Chemistry Club are: Franklin Mauri, President, Nestor Shust, Vice-President, Thomas Car- regliano, Secretaryg and William Caliccia, Treasurer. Under the moderation of Father Gerald Hutchinson, S.J., they and all the members of the Club have done a great deal to spread scientific interest throughout the campus. And it's 150 proof. too. 's- lath-Physics Club During the school year l957-l958, the Math-Physics Club's activities increased considerably beyond those ol past years. The Club's purpose, to bring to students of Mathematics and Physics a greater interest in their lields of study extending beyond the scope of the classroom and laboratory, has been accomplished through the inaugura- tion of a well-rounded program. Bi-weekly meetings are held to handle club business, and movies dealing with current scientific developments are shown frequently. Periodically, club members give informal lectures on their own particular projects and interests. The many social activities sponsored by the Club include an annual banquet and picnic. The success of the Math-Physics Club is due in great measure to the work of its oliicers: Bernard Muldoon, Presidentg Arthur Chagnon, Vice-Presidentg Fred Bauhm, Treasurerg and Eugene Grassler, Secretary.

Veterans Club To meet the ever-increasing needs of returning servicemen, the veterans of Fairfield University formed their own organization in the fall of 1954. Immediately a competent, popular club, the Vets Club, as it is known to the student body, strives to eliminate the common difficulties of the veteran students and to foster their social activities on campus. In addition, the club's social affairs have been extended to the entire student body. As its most important social activity, the club sponsors a gala party after the Mid-Winter Carni- val formal, such a successful affair that it has become an annual event, eagerly anticipated by all who attend the Carnival.

French Club Under the guidance of Dr. Gerard McDonald, the French Club conducts its activities each year toward one main objective, the creation of a truly French at- mosphere which might be ab- sorbed not only by members ot the Club, but by the entire stu- dent body. Its activities were in- augurated by a banquet at the Cafe Barna in Westport to which all men of the University and their guests were invited. Fre- quent meetings were held during the year featuring movies and talks on some topic of French interest. 88 Italian Club Although, regrettably, study of Italian has been temporarily dis- continued as a part of the Fair- field curriculum, the enthusiasm of Italian students on campus for Italian literature and culture has led to the reorganization of the Italian Club.

The student body has grown, and so has the number of scholarships given by the club, scholarships to be awarded this coming year number four. The chief source of revenue for these scholarships is the annual Culce Club concert held in Wilby Auditorium. As the prime purpose of the club is not only to provide funds for the education of Waterbury youth at Fairfield, but also to keep the name and ideals of Fairfield in the minds of the people of the Waterbury Area, the club also spon- sors a year-round calendar of events, ranging from the annual clam-bake and hayride for the Freshmen from the area to a combined alumni-undergraduate Communion breakfast. In the past, these events have been extremely successful, as have been the traditional Christmas formal, held at the Waverly Inn, and the Senior Farewell Dinner- Dance. In all, the Waterbury Area Club, conscious of its own activity as a part of the university, has sought in all its endeavors to preserve and fulfill the ideals of Fairfield. D. D'Alessio. P. Carolan.

This event is preceded by a Freshman Welcome Dance in the fall, and is followed by a Senior Farewell Picnic held at Lighthouse Point.

Griginally founded by a group of nature- loving students from New York, the ranks were soon swelled by a multitude of students from other areas. attracted to the Society by a sincere interest in its functions. Early meetings were held in the inauspicious but warm surroundings of the House of Flanagan, noted bird sanctuary on Reef Island in Fairfield. By the early spring of that year, field trips had been organized to Waterbury and New York so that mem- bers might enlarge their appreciation of the ethereal qualities of our winged friends in other areas. As the University grew, so did the Society, and so, in order that those who most appreciated the value of birds to men might be admitted first, an elaborate ritual was devised, one part of which, the Assembly of the Grand Avalu, is pictured below. Except for 1955- 1956, when the Birdwatchers became almost extinct due to a curtailment of activity and clipping of certain wings, the Society has increased its functions and es- tablished a new sanctuary, the Beachside Nest, where at almost any time of day or night members may be seen contemplating the Society's symbol, Three Feath- ers, or perhaps communing with spirits as they sit with their mascot, the Old Crow. Still, the favorite activity of all Birdwatchers may be easily observed as one oft- times sees them reclining, standing, in all positions, with glasses raised, watching the swallows. It is with much solemnity and sadness the the Senior members, passing into extinction and attaining the rank of Dodo, will utter the Society motto for the last time: We're for the birds.

But the Stags rebounded from this by knocking over U.B. with vengeance, 68-58. and tore into a five game winning streak. St. Michaels was decisively upset C68-673 when Ed Diskowski showed the season's highest individual scoring with 33 points. Merrimack was shattered U09 523 by the highest total ol' Fairfield's goals ever scored in one game. Stonehill L92-693 didn't have a prayer, and Yeshiva Q85-631 was so much kindle for the Fairfield fire. Now the team was red-hot, tied for the lead of the Tri-State League with Adelphi, and ready. Unfortunately, so was Adelphi. Thus, the center of the year was the Adelphi gameg and with it, the 64-54 loss became the central loss.

And, of course, some con- sideration must be given the U.B. defeat Q72-763, where a let-down after three of the season's roughest games combined with a fine performance by the Seaside school to dampen the season's end. But, if one considers the Brooklyn-Boston College games as the start of it all, the five game win-streak as the heart of the season, and the Adelphi game as the climax, then the St. Francis game can only be the end. In that light, shadowed at the edges by the struggling first games, and the struggling last games, exists this past season. Catch a falling star . . TA ls this American Bandstand?

Hot-Rod had his tinest night in a recent Tri-State game against Farleigh- Dickinson when his almost unbelievable 9 for ll performance from the floor in the second half led the Stags to a close 87-83 victory. That night's total of 30 points was Fran's three-year high. Fran will be missed next season, but he will never be forgotten by those who have been privileged to witness his valiant court performance. -The Stag, February 27, 1958 its Fran grabs a rebound during the U.

H'f,.X XJ. r AK '-Q Ml Ned Skinski: Ace of the ptiching staff: Eight strike-outs against Holy Cross. Baseball On June 1, the school year had all but ended. Exams were over and most of the rooms back on campus were empty, it was for all intents, the first day of summer. In Worcester, however, out on the ball feld at Holy Cross, some last-time business was being run off, as the last effort of 1957. The baseball team, deep in defeat all sea- son, had a chance to soothe some consciences, relax some nerves, and win a ball game. To win a ball game - what an ambition. Long, long ago, on April 27, U.B. had been stepped upon and pushed into defeat. That day was short. Between then and now, nine games had passed, nine hopes had withered, nine losses had been slammed into the face of Fairfield. There had been the New Haven game, the second game of the season. Dave Toomey, a sophomore, had made his Laffy FHYCIICI 0Uf21f1SWefI0 Y0gi Befra- college pitching debut, and had held the Teachers score- less for seven innings. Waters had singled, Cerulli tripled, and Fairfield was ahead 1-0. Then it happened: 4-1, though Toomey had a three-hitter. There had been New Britain. Buddy Waters had a Buddy cuts loose with 170 pounds of muscle and 34 ounces of willow. L -wig , . '- L I s:, ,,,4-g- -F. gQqg,,Q,,.f.: ,. f'f', . .

And, of course, there had been Bridgeport. That was the soother, the rationalizer, the Well, against them we . . . Ed Cerulli had weathered a rough first three innings in which Bridgeport had scored five runs. By the eighth, the Stags had gotten back three of the markers. And then, on back-to-back singles by Jack Redway, Frank Mc-Gow- an, and Cerulli, the fourth, fifth, and sixth runs scored. From the third on, Cerulli had blanked the Knights, for a 6-5 Fairfield victory. Now it was June 1 and Fitton Feld was warm in the clear air that clicked with the echoed tick of practice hits, that sounded with the murmurs of benches wanting runs, that silenced with the emptying of the outfield and the manager dragging away the sack of bats. Ed Skinski had struck out eight, the Moose had allowed seven hits. And instead of the crushing 13-2 defeat of the year before, a 5-0 defeat was at least a respectable end to another season. -,. 1. - -4-L gif- -at-ef..-.f-...-', a ...un as -..,Q,?jg5i4lr .,-is ' 'vp-kg ' . gl., . 1 I ' -5 ,fc wr in-1-'-A' 'f' ' ' ' ' 354' , . , fifiluwf' ' -x v .

A Queen is crowned: Chairman Emile Cote crowns Miss Frances -Burriesci Winter Carnival Queen of 1958. Mid-Winter Carnival No two words are more apt to bring a smile to the face, a gleam of enthusiasm to the eye, and a hearty whoop to the voice of a Fairfield student than the words: Mid- Winter Carnival . This year was no exception. Even be- fore rust-colored leaves began falling, Weekend Chairman Emile Cote and his committee were already planning for the winter festivities. The weekend itself began for many students early in the afternoon of Friday, February 14, with the not unpleasant task of meeting dates and settling them in local hosteleries about the area. Then came the frantic time of getting dressed, brushed, shined, and ready for the big Formal. Somehow, miraculously, everyone made it. At 9:30 or thereabout, we drove under the canopy of stately elms that lined the path to the Long Shore Country Club Ahead of us, glistening in the moonlight, were the tradi- tional ice carvings, fashioned with careful precision, by Bob Sabo, Bob Ryback, and Mr. Fred Tartaro. We all smiled proudly as we entered the lobby with our dates, all of them as beautiful and gorgeously dressed as queens and, in that confusion of bright tuxes and bouffant gowns, we somehow managed to check our coats and pick up our bids. As we entered the dance floor, our dates clutched their favors carefully - they were glittering Fair- field beer mugs, and even we eyed them enviously. The dance iioor - what we could see of it through the crowd of swirling couples - reflected red, blue, and yellow lights that streamed down through a maze of bright crepe deco- rations. Somehow we made our way to our tables, stop- ping every few seconds for a hearty hand-shake or mutual introduction. The faculty were there, too, but somehow they seemed quite different from the solemn professors of the class-roomy they, too, were caught up in the gaiety of the evening. After a short chat with other table-hoppers, we bravely decided to try a turn on the dance floor, already fC0ntinued on Page 1162 Queen of 1958. 114 'lhe traditional ice carvings provide ai glittering welcome for couples airrixiiig at the Longshore Country Club.

It was then that we really realized for the first time that this was our last Winter Carnival But it All right, Jack so you werent chosen Queen Vets Club Part Almost as traditional as the Winter Carnival Formal itself is the annual Vets Club Party which follows it. Held this year at Eichner's, the party proved to be more suc- cessful-and happier-than ever. ln an informal setting, we somehow found enough stamina and good spirit for another melange of Lindys, mambos and swing. The food was lavishly spread and delicious, Ed Graf's music was bouncy and catchy, and this time, if ever, a good time was had by all. ,, X1 Do you really think l'm handsome?

This was Mary's Dayg and, in Fairfield's tradi- tional tribute to Our Lady the students and faculty walked across the sloping green of the campus to the alumni field where a sol- emn high Mass was offered by Bishop Shee- han in honor of Mary. It was a morning rich with sunshine and fresh with the bloom of spring, and as the sound of Hail Marys mingled with the rustle of leaves overhead, and as incense rose into the glow of sunlight, we all felt a special closeness to Mary, Our Lady of Fairfield. . .Q -' A ' Father Hogan, Bishop Sheehan, and Father Rooney. -A Wd IH sn an ' if University and Prep students begin the walk to Mass. i A solemn moment: Bishop Sheehan bestows the Pontifical Blessing Hail Mary, full of grace . . .

The festivities began with a succulent meal in the best Yuletide tradition, and Father Fitzgerald spoke of the significance and beauty of the Christmas season. Even Santa Claus appeared with a well-stuffed bag of gifts for the faculty, and there was a fun-filled program of skits and songs. Then, as the strains of Silent Night faded softly into the darkness, there was a deep stillness on the Fairfield campus.

To some of us, she is the thump of a basketball against a polished wooden fioor, the tense, excited catch of silent breath exploding into a crowd's exultant yell of victory, the hard, clean sound of a bat meet- ing a baseball, the sweeping, soaring arc of an athlete hurling across a high-bar. To others, she is the hearty clasp of friendship, a philosophical dis- cussion over coffee-cups in Loyola Cafeteria, the mellow scent of pipe tobacco mingling with the orange-and-Hame of an autumn afternoon. And to others, she is the crisp clear voice of a Professor expounding on the wonders of literature and the sciences, a wild confusion of text- books, typewriters and term-papers, the cold, nervous ache that comes with each blue-book and the warm relief that comes with the knowledge that we have passed , the sense of awe and almost-fear that comes with a realization of the endless vista of knowledge that lies sprawling before us. Fairfield University is all of these things, and much more. She is the reverent stillness of a morning Mass, the calm and peace of a moment's meditation in the half-dark stillness of Loyola Chapel, the name of God spoken softly and with reverence. She is the scent of incense and the joyous sound of the Divine Praises, the whisper of Hail Marys and the rustle of leaves in May sunshine, a glittering Chalice held high and heads bowed low before their God. She is a surge of Faith in the midst of darkness and uncertainty, a bud of Hope ripe for fruition in the hearts of her students, the almost tangible bond of Love that unites all of us, teacher, student, and every man, in the realization that, however divergent the paths we may choose, our destination is the same: PER FIDEM AD PLENAM VERITATEM. 130 Aclcnowled ements Whatever accomplishments the l958 MANOR has achieved are due solely to the efforts of those who so faithfully devoted their time and energies to its production. Many persons aided us in our work, but to some, special recognition must be given for their excellent contributions and for the dependable industry they incorporated to make our yearbook a reality.
