The place—Collins Auditorium. Some four huiv dred eager young men heard this official pronouncement open the sacred portals of higher education to them. “The sands ol time doth How quickly.” wrote the bard, and all of us must agree that the last four years have indeed slipped quickly down the corridors of time. Into this short span are crowned many memories of struggle and achievement, study and success, prayers and their fulfillment. Disappointments and set backs were there too, but these we learned to accept philosophically, because even in the sweetest draughts from life's cup there is always a taint of the bitter. It is the purpose of this chronicle to briefly review the Class of 1935 and its accomplishments. We hope that it will be to the men of 35 a bookmark of memories as it were, so that in years to come each passage may foster in the graduate long departed from our Alma Mater, fond reminiscences of Rose Hill. Page 29 That Freshman Year . . . The Class History relates that The new men were entertained by those arch-conspirators, the Sophomores, in the customary manner. The punishment was not to last lor long. The Class of '35 came into its own in short order. Yes, the traditional obligations imposed upon us were soon discarded as the result of decisive victories over the Vigilantes and their cohorts in the tug-o'-war, track and swimming meets. In the meantime the Class found time to elect Thomas E. Walsh as President. Charles Deubel assisted Tom in the capacity of Vice-President. In extra-curricular activities, members of the Class of 35 began to attract favorable attention. The Freshman One-Act Plays served to introduce Fordham’s theatre-going public to such names as those of James W. Fogarty. Fred Magenheimer, Stephen Gorey and James Deacv. In the upper regions of the Freshman Building, ambitious but stage-struck Websters appeared at the meetings of the Hughes Debating Society to express their views on current affairs. From such an humble beginning have emerged debaters of such calibre as that ot Herman Herbert, Wally Sprouls and John Mooney. In the realm of athletics, the Freshman took a firm foothold. Wolfendale, Waldron. Borden, Nttka. Tatro and the irrepressible Sarausky were outstanding. In baseball Howie Lashua, Phil Lavin, ind Ed Estwanick were promising while Norman Waterman and Fred Magenheimer dominated the tennis situation. Tony Babiak upheld the honor of Rose Hill on the fairways and hunkers of neighboring courses. Sophomore year, the great emancipation, began with the Class of 35 prepared to put the incoming Freshmen through their paces. Wally Sprouls was a happy choice as Chairman of the Vigilance Committee. Indeed, the thoroughness with which he and his associates performed their duties caused one harassed Frosh to sadly remark, “They all must be related to the Spanish Inquisitionists. ' Our Sophomore enthusiasm was considerably dampened by unexpected upsets in the track and swimming meets which forced us to remove hallowed Frosh restrictions. In the fertile field of politics, Tom Walsh again wore the toga of Class President with John Donovan. Harold Kennedy and Rufus Michel assisting as Vice-President. Secretary and Treasurer respectively. James W. Fogarty's performance as Mrs. Malaprop in Richard Brinsley Sheridan's “The Rivals’’ was the feature of the annual Mimes and Mummers' presentation. The literary organs of the College continued to receive splendid support from the Class of '35. Such stalwart performers as Harlow. Wolfendale, Borden, Nitka. Tatro, the Curran boys. Ludinowic: and Sarausky again were main cogs in the grid machine which rivalled the best in the East. Sug. r“ Kane, Rufe Michel and Howie Lashua tossed them in from ill angles of the court during the basketball season, while Tony Sarausky, Fred Harlow’, George Sherry and Estwanick were mainstays on our Coffey-coached nine. Junior year . . . reporting for classes two days later than usual created in many of us a slight feeling of satisfaction which disappeared quickly enough with the advent of a new and untried study. Philosophy. Vaughn Gooding won the nod for the Presidency of the class. The position of Vice-President was assumed by Sam McClelland with Tom Cooley and Bill Fitzpatrick filling the posts of Secretary and Treasurer. The Junior Ring Committee composed of the representatives of the rive sections of the Class included Roger Lennon. John Horan. James Gallico, Sal L)i Michael and Dave Roche. Page 30 In the Minor Logic Specimen wc first embarked on serious verbal voyages into the realms ot philosophy. Most of us escaped unscathed. The Class of '35 was well represented in the Scientific Symposium held in the Spring of 1934. Joseph T. Cashman, Herman Herbert and Vincent Tornev read papers on the constitution of matter. Harold Kennedy and James W. Fogarty were elected to the Board of Directors of the Glee Club. Joseph Sullivan and Maurice Cox were appointed associate editors of the Fordham-Francc. On the “Ram” many ot the Junior Class were members of the Editorial Board. Outstanding in the field of athletics were Tony Sarausky, Jim Gallico, Les Borden and Ed Estwanick. At the conclusion of the 1933 football campaign, Les was elected captain tor the 1934 season and was unanimous choice for the mythical honor of Alb Eastern end. Likewise, Tony's fine punting aided the Maroon eleven countless times when victory was in the balance. Jim Gallico crowned a brilliant track career by capturing the 100 and the “220” in the Metropolitan College Meet held at New York University. Ed downed many rivals with his stout arm and helped the Rose Hill nine enjoy another successful season. September, 1934. Time must be on its way and with its passing we finally reached the harbor of our hopes. The patient endeavors and the accomplishments of three years approach fruition. A survey of the college extra-curricular activities directed by the men of 35 attests to this. Future greats took it upon themselves to direct the destinies of college affairs with a quality of leadership which betokens greater fame and esteem for their Alma Mater, when they shall have made their mark in the turbulent midway of life. Vaughn Gooding, Jack Colley and Gerry Ryan constituted an eilicient Athletic Association. Roger Lennon sat in the Presidential Chair. Assisting him were Vice-President Charles Deubel and Secretary Vincent Sharkey and Charles Rosen who looked out for the finances of the Class in his capacity as Treasurer. Jim Gallico was instilled as President of the Business Forum while Jack Coffey wore the Major's sword as student leader of Fordham's R. O. T. C. unit. For his faithful service. Harold V. Kennedy was elected Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Glee Club. The all-important post of Editor of the “Maroon,” was filled, as a result of an over' whelming class election, by Michael F. X. Bellew. Don Shannon. Jim Carney and Walt Conway were appointed Associate Editors. On the “Ram,” Bill McGurn assumed the position of Editor-in-chief with Tom Lenahan serving as Sports Editor. Neil Roche, aided by the renowned Jeff Tumulty, was the guiding spirit of the Council of Debate. The credit for Fordham’s victory over the Oxford University Debating Team goes to Neil and Jeff who formed a perfect combination, as it were, in dry debate. In the Mimes and Mummers annual presentation. “Criminal At Large,” Jeff Tumulty was prominently cast with Jim Fogarty and Frank Brown, all of whom gave excellent performances. The tremendous success of the B. L. I. Social was due in no small measure to the efforts of Chairman John McLaughlin and his assistants Gerard Schult” and William Miles. May found the members of the Class of '35 gathering for the last time to pay their homage to the Blessed Virgin. This traditional service was the first exercise that marked Page 3i the final Jays of our careers at Ford ham. We will never forget those solemn minutes . . . the laudatory speeches ol the sodalists—the tlowery tokens of esteem which were placed before Our Lady's statue. May also brought the much deserved rewards for the athletes of the Class of 35. On May fourth, before a large gathering of 350 guests, Vaughn Gooding, acting in his capacity of Athletic Association President, presented sixty four Major letters to the members of the varsity football, baseball, basketball, track and cheering squads. Among those honored were Lester Borden. Tony Sarausky. Ed Estwanick, Jim Gallico, Norm Waterman. Freddie Harlow and a host of other outstanding 35 athletes. The Senior Officers of the R. O. T. C. marched for the last time as commanders of the various units of the Rose Hill Cadets. On May 15, with Student Major Jack Coffey commanding, the regiment passed in review in honor of the government inspecting board. Among those who were mustered out of the Maroon regiment were Captains Paul Towers, Stephen Randolph. James Brown and Samuel McClelland. June . . . the final step in the preparation for our careers in life. The Baccalaureate M..ss ... a solemn message, a warning to avoid Sylla and Charybdis. Graduation . . . the severing of a four years bond—the passport to glory and the world beyond. The Senior Prom—the strains of Johnnie Johnson’s music beating out the fleeting moments drumming out the final minutes of the existence of the Class of 35 as a social group. Auld Lang Syne ... a tear for the friendships which may be dimmed by Time. A sigh for the days filled with pleasant memories. A feeling of relief at having crossed the first bridge successfully. A prayer that we will all get to that final haven ol safety. These pages speak a long farewell, but through each year they will bring a cheery hello from the silent brethren who are the heroes of this tome. Time will be but an agent in cementing the friendships of our college days. We say aJieu with the hope that we will gather together again on many festive occasions to renew acquaintances and reminisce on the dear college days.' Page 32 — ■ 4-- r •- ,7 1 Carl L. Albert, A.B. Fordham Prep IF college activity can be hailed as a harbinger of success in later life then we can safely ptoph-esy for Carl an established position of eminence in the world he is about to enter. His active ties on the “Rani” and other organizations proved the extent of his administrative ability and his appearances on the debating rostrum showed him an orator and logician alike. A sense of humor, at once subtle and irresistible, coupled with a disarming amiability gained Butch a host of friends. An innate wander lust, realized by his travels abroad, will take him to the Continent again alter Commencement. Our “Bon Voyage” extends beyond this summer to the inevitable trip on the uncharted seas of life. Vincent P. Amatrano, B.S. Hir i School THF. Colossus of Fordham Raid i indeed unique. Vinny has out of the spirit of Christian charity, ever fallen victim to pleas for alms ol his class-mates. He is an acknowledged authority on bridge and sports -being a rabid supporter of the New York “Jints”. Vin's path leads to the medical profession. We feel that should late ordain it we would l e sale in the hands of this disciple of Hippocrates.

Fordhayn Pr f GEORGE has a propensity for prognosticating on all things athletic. His predictions have been so correct as to vie with the utterances of the Oracle of Delphi. His skill at ping' pong enabled him to rule the green board of the “Ram office loud and long H:s cloak of silence is often a pretence for relaxation. The famous composition room in the labyrinths of St. John's Hall will l e barren when George leaves to win further fame and friendships in the mazes beyond. George J. Arkedis, A.B. De La Sd'.U High School Ql'IET but efficient is the man. George has been a leading hgure in promoting intra mural sports. Many an afternoon found him tossing the pigskin or encouraging some struggling gladiators on to greater effort. George was never one to prevaricate and he confesses that he was happiest when surrounded by a group of loshing friends or when reading an inspiring biography, with the leisure and ease of a true lover of literature. Past records foreshadow the future and a brilliant career lies before genial George. Ram Staff. 1-2-3-4; Maroon Staff. 2; Hughes Debating. 1-2; Chemists Club; Mendel Club, 2, 3; Westchester Club, 4.

Brooklyn Prep AND thus he bore without abuse the grand old name of gentleman.” What eulogy could be more fitting, more appropriate of our good friend Tony than these familiar lines of Tennyson? What word, what phrase could more adequately characterize this true son of Ford-ham than the all descriptive epithet gentleman?” True we might say he is a diligent scholar, a clever personality; Tony certainly is, but mere words are too cold, too inexpressive, to portray this faithful friend, the charming and good-natured Tony on all occasions. Peter L. Barba, A.B. Bishop Lougfihn High Sih I ALTHOUGH Pete is one of those Avis Rara who possesses a real sense of the humorous, nevertheless lie wears a look as sombre and serene as that of an ancient Buddha. As for his character, it is the essence of courtesy and helpfulness. He looks upon classrooms as a place of ease and thoughtful meditation over the words of the lecturing professor. He went to class unruffled, exited, and then, with the same complacent air, went to attend the next lecture. Sodality.

Vincent J. Barreca, B.S. Sn.vmant Hit?ft School WERE one to paint a word-picture of Vin's personality, he would face a great task in finding characteristics to mention. He would not need to stress the Bugler s' mental alertness, though his marks are well above the average. Nor would he have to harp upon his friendliness, despite the fact that Vin possessed many cohorts. It would never do to mention his flair for things military. He will he admired for his unswerving perseverance as he will he respected for his ability. Charles F. Barrett, B.S. For Ilia in Prep CHARLIE has remained the same during these past four years of college life. He has earned our admiration for the placid manner in which he faces the catastrophes and denouements of every day life. He preferred to laugh at the quips of others but he was never reticent as far as humor goes. These trots of dignity, seriousness and gentle matureness have won tor him a high place in the esteem of all his associates. Page 36 Orchestra, 12-3 4. Officers Club. 3-4. Class Musician. 4.

He has been the source of many pleasant afternoons in the Chem Lab where his pranks and humor served to lighten the hours spent among the retorts and acids. His main interests in life are sports, dancing and the pursuit of the liberal arts. I ie hopes to be a finished Medico and we know that Doctor Dan will cure far more with his pleasant manner than with the gruesome instruments of his profession. George H. Behlmar, B.S. Roosevelt High School GEORGE is an adventurer at heart and is always trying to find something that promises a new-found thrill. You may well expect it when in his company His fancies and whims were many hut all in all he sought true companionship in Cicero and Plato. He mastered with great facility the many intricacies of studies, with the result that he goes forth from these hallowed halls, prepared for his chosen profession in knowledge, amiability and strength of will to combat the charades of life.

Regi High School SINCERITY, gentlemanliness, earnestness and good taste are traits possessed by few individu' als in this present day of sophistication. Mike was such a fellow. As Editoi ol oui Year Ecok. he mere than lived up to the trust that we all knew he was capable of carrying out. He has been a real friend and always willing to play the Samaritan to his fellow students who were net gifted with his own keen intellect. On the athletic field, he was noted for his indomitable will to win but he never offered an alibi if returned the loser. His only fault was that he allowed his suspenders to serve as an extra man for the opposing eleven. John M. Bcnjamino, A.B. Stetson High School BEN never scaled the heights of Matterhorn cr delved into the bowels of some hidden Sicilian crater, hut he did things of equal impor tance. He gained more than the passing thrill of climbing from one slippery crag to another or lighting his way through sulphurous mists. He found great coffers of learning treasures of friendships—gems of accomplishments. In short, he lived a full four years at Fordham and departs, his caravans laden with these inde structible treasures.

His store of knowledge on the history of the early Church and the Popes has made him the protagonist in matters of religion against doubteis. Jim spent his summers teaching among the boys of the C.C.C. and enjoyed both the experience and the friendship of his students. While not quarrelsome, Jim likes to stress a point in an argument. His literary talents have been recognized and we predict a columnist's berth with some prominent newspaper. John F. Boland, Jr. Ford tarn Prep IN Jack you will meet a gentleman, philosopher. athlete and artist To describe Jack the gentleman, we need but refer you to page seventeen in the College Handbook. His nature is a combination of seriousness and fun. As a philosopher. Jack was quick in discerning the fallacies in many arguments. However, he did not allow studies to dwarf his love for sports. He is a terrible golfer, as Bob White will testify—in fact he much prefers basketball and swimming. Jack admires Kate Hepburn, the cinema star, but we forgive him for this fault.

As captain of the football team, he showed the fine qualities of a leader. His hard playing and perseverance when opposing backs tried toorcle his end, characterized his whole nature. As a purveyor of melodies, Les rivalled Rudy Vallee and was always willing to lend his charm to all school gatherings. Knowing the capabilities and ambitions of our “Captain” we are sure that he will continue to be as famous in other lines of endeavor as he was as an All American End. William A. Bower, B.S. Seton Hull Prep. IN this era of speed and unstinted energy, simply to see Bill produces a feeling of soothing quiet. No Tantalus or catastrophe could cause him to hurry. Yet Bill reaches his wonted destination while others fail in their unseeing demand for haste. But off campus, his Hegiras to local colleges and hostelries belie his usual distaste for speed. He is punctilious to a fault. Yet his carefulness in dress and manner is an inseparable part of him. He treats Aristotle and St. Thomas with the same aplomb and study as that of a squire en-joying his tea beside the lireplace at sundown.

Fordhcm Prep THIS kind and silent youth flourished among his fellows. He earned a warm spot in the hearts of his companions by his generosity and his meekness. Ever tranquil and cheery were but a few of his characteristics. Syl was an excellent scholar and was ever ready to share his loaf of knowledge with beggars for wisdom. Frail in physical makeup and stature, Syl amazed onlookers with his superh blocking in the Football games on the Quadrangle. Daniel F. Brennan, A.B. Regis High DAN came to Fordham with a fine record. He has, through these four years, kept up his standard in studies and in his aptitude for mak' ing friends. No display of superficial wit or pedantry has won for him the respect of his fellows. He worked in school and out. but he found time to engage in the social and athletic activities on the campus. We would not be surprised to read in the future—“Daniel Brennan, from Library to Legislature.-' Page 41 Manager of Rand, I� 2 3'4. Business Forum, 3 4; Spanish Club. 1-2. Sodality, 1'2-3-4. John W.

Cool, level headed, and possessed of a quiet and unassuming self-confidence, it has been a pleasure to have known Jack lx th on and off the campus. His favorite pastimes are basketball. journeying to Staten Island and sleeping. Frank X. Brown, A.B. Sf. . icholas of Tolfnfinf WHETHER treading the boards in the campus drama, or enthralling his listeners in the hall of debate, Frank seemed always to have about him an aura of cultural sophistication, born of an innate love of things artistic. If versatility can ! e termed a virtue, then it was Frank's in the most complete measure. The scone of his interests seemed limitless and in each of his activities he made his presence felt with conviction yet with the unobtrusiveness that is the true characteristic of a gentle nature.

In almost every year there have been many pairs of inseparables,” and Brown was one ot these his other half being “Jack Brcreton. Jimmy should be well remembered tor his pedagogical essays wherein he astounded our beloved pro fessor with his knowledge ot the gentle art of teaching. Peter Campbell Brown, A.B. A SOPHISTICATE and a man of the world even during this formative stage which is our college career, Campbell was as typical of Fordham as we think possible. His abilities as a conversationalist, so often amplified on the debating platform, made him a power to lie reckoned with in every gathering. His appearance at otf-campus functions supplied the final note which gave the affair the touch of completeness. Though June will bring a parting, we cannot hut think that associations with Pete will he clear ones in the years to come.

He was ever courteous, complaisant and candid. He lent his tine vocal talents to the Glee Club, his rich voice being a joy to hear. There is no cause for wondering at Gene's popularity. He could not and will not fail to attract many friends to him after he leaves Fordham. Thomas F. Burchill, Jr. Xji ter High S:hool TOM is a synonym for fastidiousness. Whether choosing friends, clothes or other things, Tom is guided by this inherent sense of values. Does this quality of character detract from the man? No, it endows Ins every move' ment with genuine refinement. His unfailing knowledge of what is correct tends to bestow on Tom praise and distinction. No man could unbalance his equilibrium of spirit. He pos' sessed a certain amount of tact which could not fail to make him congenial to his many friends. Tom had the enviable gift of being a regular fellow on every occasion. Page 44 GUv Club, 3-4.

Stamford High School FRANK confesses that the most pleasant memories of his four years at Fordham center about his hey-days with Father Mulqueen in good old Junior “E.” However, it is not in the regal realms of philosophy that Frank excels, but in the more mechanical ones of mathematics. Frank has studied well all of the mathematical teachings of Descartes and hopes to earn his livelihood that way. If he main' tains the same zealous yet happy combination of wit and studiousness that he displayed while a student at old Rose Hill, we know that he shall be a worthy disciple of Euclid. William F. Cahalan, A.B. Xci'kj High School THIS lover of Calliope and the literary arts, enriched the pages of our college publications with his gems of verse and exposition.

He has demonstrated all the essential properties of the true warrior. He has been ready to carry out orders in his studies. He has done every act for harmony in the year. He has conducted himself in a respectful manner to his superiors and inferiors. Fight on, Frank! John J. Doyle, A.B.

But no sooner did he cross the threshold of the class' room, panting after his race against time, than troubles slipped away and he became nonchab ance personified. Ed was quiet, reserved and respectful. In these days of subways, noise and vulgarity, there are too few “Eddies,'' men of culture, refinement and delicacy. Edward J. Egan, A.B. Training High School WE like to see a bright spot in the heavens after a season of rain. Ed was such to us after that long, dreary season of penning our knowb edge or the lack of it on those traditional “books of doom,' the time honored “blue' books. His spirit of “hail fellow, well met never failed him and when you came upon him, you never found him alone communing with himself. What were rainstorms before will turn into typhoons of thunder and light' ning in later life and as the noble patriot once ejaculated, we'll say, “We had only one Ed to clear up those grey skies.

Though it is inevitable that Commencement will bring with it dissociation from characters and things for which we have learned to care, when past contacts with Vic are recalled, we are forced to believe that the parting will be but transient and that the future will bring a strengthening of friendship that will endure through the years.

Xdlicr H:xh School MAN does not shape his own destiny; he is often ordered to one line of action, even though his inmost heart rebels against this fate. It was incumbent upon George, during the four years he spent at Fordham, to leave the ivy covered halls every noon to labor in a world quite different from the slow-moving, easy and fraternal life of the college campus. Were it left to his choosing, we are sure that George would have preferred to stay and smoke a friendly pipe over a game of bridge in the tobacco filled Rec room.

Throughout Ins four years, he has been an ardent follower of Fordham's athletic teams.

Studies, however, did not keep Jim away from his favorite diversion—Basket' ball. In this sport, his inexhaustible stamina and his never-dying courage won for him a warm and pleasant spot in the hearts of the followers of Fordham's Basketball Quintet.

But add to these activities the fact that out of the sixteen hundred students m the college, Jim was chosen as the executive officer of the government student relief organization at Rose Hill.

Bayonne High School QUIET and unassuming, Hughie belongs to that rare species (or is it genus) that scorns publicity. But he is by no means unsociable. He thinks no task too arduous to perform lor a friend and is ready on any occasion to share his imposing store of knowledge with his fellows. Anyone who asks Hughie to help him in his difficulties in later life will find that he has made a very wise request, for he can quickly solve perplexing problems and his pleasant, accommodating nature will thus always insure him many friends as he wends his way to fame and fortune. JOHN came to Fordham from the wilds of New Jersey. Although we expected some' thing of a savage, he proved to be quiet and unassuming, laboring carefully and deliberately towards his goal, and no one can say that he has not succeeded. For four years he has pur-sued the sciences, undertaking studies which would surely have staggered a less capable man, even going so far as to take Advanced Organic. Promptitude and punctuality combined with unflagging zeal have characterized his four years at Fordham and it is this foundation ol character which will stand him in good stead in the scientific career for which he has so well prepared.

However, Jim did not allow the athletic spotlight to cast any shadows upon his scholastic achievement. He won class honors consistently during college life, and his eloquence, coupled with serious determination and convincing personality stamped him as a leader, being chosen President of the Business Forum and Assistant Prefect of the Sodality.

Indeed Dan's broad shoulders and expansive chest will testify to this. Dan s interests at college were many: dramatics, debating, athletic and intellectual.

Apparently the Celtic lineage that Joe enjoys, has not lost its famed note of moodiness. When Joe feels good it would seem that he has the world on a string.” However when he is de jected—well, it's bad. Indications lead us to believe that Joe would be a pedagogue.

From this, you may gather some of the wisdom of the man. He chose to go his own easy way as far as companionship goes but when he was wont to speak his mind, he dropped the veil of silence.

Among the salient ones are his congeniality, good taste and scholarship worthy ot mention. All these are clothed with an air of refinement and calm exterior. His other propensities qualify him as a splendid dabbler in the liner amenities ol social intercourse. Thus, balance and versatility both contribute in making John a really likable chap.

If he mimics, in his penetrating way, the actions of another, the impersonation is just and well done. Indeed there arc few who would not benefit from a caricature of themselves as executed by Mac. James D. McDermott, B.S. All Hallows High School MAC is the quiet, unassuming type of stu' dent whose kindness and sympathetic nature makes him the possessor of many friendships in Fordham. Besides his reserved appearance, Mac had a keen sense of humor, loves good music and is an authority when it comes to sports. Besides his knowledge of sports, Mac is himself a good athlete as any of his friends who have chased one of his punts will testify.

Xauer High School TO THOSE of us who have been fortunate in knowing Hal for the past four years, his friend' ship has been a sincere pleasure. His many friends will need no introduction to his char' acteristic individuality and the outstanding ability which are his to an unusual degree. Hal has always had a horroi of the trite and the commonplace. Impulse to follow the crowd has scant place in his make up. He is a thinker and a philosopher, though slow to admit it. These points of character plus a spontaneous sense of humor place Hal in a class by himself. A warm friend, a capable and thorough student, he is destined for an unusual career. Vincent McGowan, A.B. All Hdllou'i High School THIS tall, dark fellow is typified by his friendly smile and quiet disposition. Though not exactly a record-breaking student. Vin agrees that he has absorbed a satisfactory amount of knowledge, philosophical and otherwise —if not by nerve racking study, then at least by “osmosis!’ Vin' is able to discuss things with persons of different stations with equal facility and amiability. Moreover, he thoroughly enjoys humorous stories and situations having witnessed many of the same himself. His unassuming nature and pleasant person ality will carry him a long way in a world where there are too many loud mouths and individuals of boisterous nature.

To see Pat in the ballroom is to see all the social graces personified. At the Garden or the Polo Grounds he is the typical fan”; again, in the classroom he is the attentive and appreciative student; and in and about the campus Pat is an enthusiastic and friendly fun-maker. Pat, you see, loves living and knows how to live a happy life as a Catholic gentleman. Angelo Musolino, B.S. Fordham Pre[ MUSS is a hard worker, a man who appreciates the value of study and the benefits of a good education. Possessing a fine sense of humor, and the ability to tell a ioke in scintillating fashion, oft did Muzz cause us to break out into hearty laughter. Moreover, he was a sincere and steadfast friend to all those who knew him. It is Muzz's” ambition to become a great doctor, and if such an ambition is ever realizable as the result of perseverance and determination, the goal will he easily attuned by this curly haired fellow.

Who could fail to see the little imps of the fun lover lurking behind those grey eyes of his? Possessed of a keenness known to few, Charley is one of nature's surprises; his succinct utterances reveal unusual powers of observation and a fine homely sense of humor. Quiet and rather retiring, you must know the man well before you can judge him.

He sought the answer for life's problems ask' ing aid from no one. Having decided on a plan of action, no impeding force, great or small could keep him from attaining his desired goal. He combined scholarship with good fellowship in campus organizations. Deter' mined people are rarely failures so why should we exclude Phil in predicting success for our fellows? Gilbert J. Nelligan, B. S. VV’hifr Plains High School HE HAILED from Valhalla, a happy son from a happy hunting ground. He was never a man to be like others, even in this class of un-usual men. That he was different is too mild a thing to say; to say that his differences from, and with, others caused him to be regarded as one far apart from the rest of us is perhaps nearer the point. He leaves us with a conviction that wherever he shall be, he shall remain as he is today and we wish him well. Page 137 Sc Jality; French Club; Chemists’ Club; Mendel Club.

Jerry's likes and dislikes encompass the average scope of the normal college man, with psychology the ruling factor. Jerry will probably some day assume a judgeship, at least, and then he won't have to worry about his hair; he can keep his hat on. Good luck Jerry. Vincent E. Newe, B.S.

Never try to be serious with Eddie, for he will end up by kidding the shirt off you. “What's the use of worrying, when you can accomplish just as much—probably more—by not furrow-ing your brow?”, that's Ed's philosophy of life, and not a bad philosophy at that. Fun by no means took the place of sincerity in Ed.

His ready wit made our conversations interesting, whether the Giants, Kant or O'Toole were the victim. Possessed of an extremely easy going nature, Bill's heart was as big as his hand. He could be counted on in any situation. Being a char ter member of Fr. Mahony’s Gaelic Circle, Bill intends to study the language of the Celts with an eye to future travel. Philip J.

Phil is one of those chaps who does not say. “My record speaks for itself. ' but rather one whose record says, “I speak for Phil. Were it to so speak, it would doubtless say, Phil has ab ways been a good student. To describe his character, I can think of only one word that is adequate clean. As for his many and varied activities, there is one especially for which he merits a quantum of praise. This is the whole' hearted manner in which he supported all measures dealing with Catholic Action. On the field of sport, his support was similarly given in that generous self-effacing way of his.

But to us who knew Tony, not only as a grand athlete, we shall always cherish the days during which he played such an important part in our existence. His genial disposition, together with an unlimited sense of humor, made Tony's presence at .ill times desirable.

John has ably demonstrated the efficacy of Jesuit training. Possessor of a sound mind and a well-rounded intellect. Savvy is perhaps the only Brooklyn-ite whose fine sense of humor has not yet been blunted by his surroundings. His capabilities are unbounded. On the Ram staff, John's work as circulation manager has provided us with many a bright Thursday morning. And these are not the least of his efforts. There is no favor too small or none too large which he won't perform for his classmates.

Beneath it lies a brain as searching and as sharp as the hunter's trap. He is indeed a man of unlimited capabilities. Being by nature a serious student, his tistes turned to the Ologies ot the laboratory. His actions are so without effort that at times he seems to be the personification of indolence itself. But this seeming lack of effort comes from full knowledge of a problem and the means to meet it. Joseph J. Scanlon, A.B. Xu vier High School JOB is an easy going gentleman. His attitude is never rutfleJ by the usual students' fear of examinations and quizzes for he takes things in his stride. In this there is a sign of Joe's future—if he will allow us to prognosticate— for his calm in the midst of confusion spells success in whatever he may undertake. Joe is liked by his professors for his ability, by his many friends for his sociability, and by Ford-ham for his loyalty.

His tastes range from the oratory of O'Connell (not that of our beloved Michael) to Offenbach's comic operas. His talents were manifold—each was not buried but brought many rich results. Were Plu' tarch living today, he would never do justice to Jim, for his character and fineness escape the scribbler's pen. Vincent J. Sharkey, A.B.

Vinnie will take much of value from Fordham but he will in turn leave the marks of his own good works upon his Alma Mater.

President EDWARD P. COE .................................. Vice-President RICHARD J. COTTER Secretary WILLIAM P. EARLEY .....................................Treasurer SEPTEMBER brought to the Class of new distinctions—the appellation of “Junior,'' the traditional ring and last but not least, the title of philosopher. October found the class disposing of the weighty problem of the Junior Ring Committee. After a hectic struggle, the following men were chosen as representatives of the various sections: A Robert J. Hughes, B Michael J. Malone. C Robert J. Higgins, D Russell R. Hurley, E—William W. Walker, F—Frank R. Schipa. Having disposed of the political problem, the class settled down to routine work-The balmy days of October found some members of the class playing as Maroon gridders. while other less gifted Juniors sat in the stands as interested spectators. Joe Maniaci continued in his role of wilothe wisp'' half back. His swift cutbacks proved to be the despair of opposing linesmen. He rose to his greatest heights against the hard fighting West Virginia eleven, when in company with Tony Sarausky of Senior, he pulled the game out of the fire of defeat by his faultless snaring of passes and his elusive running. Sarno. with prospects of a great season before him, was injured early in the campaign and was forced to forego football. Steve Sarota, Rossi, Ladroga, and Miskinis were invaluable to Coach Crowley and their fine playing aided in garnering victories for the injury'harried Ram eleven. Or. November 16, the members of the Junior class tried out their wings as philosophers in the Minor Logic. Specimen. Father Charles J. Deane, Dean of Studies presided. The 3 Page Id7 Board of Examiners included Father Ignatius W. Cox. S.J.. and Father Joseph Murphy, S.J., Professors of Senior Philosophy; Father John J. Colligan, S.J., Father TheoJore T. Farley, S.J., Father Joseph B. Walsh, S.J., Father Harold Mulqueen, S.J., and Father Glen Walsh, S.J., Professors of Junior Philosophy. The divisions of logic covered included: The idea, judgment, reasoning, the syllogism, the proposition, induction and analogy. About twenty-five trembling, timid Juniors were called upon by Father Deane to answer the objections and questions which were proposed. Many new and somewhat novel (though correct) solutions were propounded, which would have caused the ancient Stagy rite to blush, on hearing them. As usual, the Junior Class took a major part in the various campus activities. The literary vehicles of the college boasted of many third year men on their rosters. The “Ram had such sterling news gatherers as Eugene Audi and Joseph Morrison on the Editorial Board; Thomas Canning, James McCrysta! and Vincent McLaughlin on the News Staff; Michael Barsa and Arthur Mulligan, handling Ram Sporting events; with John Spollen and Robert Dun sea th worrying over finances on the Business Staff; while Joseph Katin and Clinton Maguire getting the “ Ram to its avid readers as bulwarks of the Circulation Department The pages of the “Fordham France, the official organ of the French Club, were dotted with contributions from Louis Marella, Edward Hermg, TheoJore Roeser and Wllliarn Dillon. The ““Quill Club was dominated by the Junior members having Thomas Fitzmorris and George McKenna as President and Vice-President respectively. The “Fordham Monthly enjoyed a very successful year under the capable leadership of Editor-in-chief, Thomas Fitzmorris. William Hirten served as Exchange Editor while James Kane was Assistant Business Manager. George McKenna and Graham Walworth were prominent among those whose essays were published in the '“Monthly Peter Potera was the able accompanist of the many Junior warblers who swelled the ranks of the Glee Club and aided in completing one of the most successful seasons that organization has enjoyed. The othei student musical organization, the orchestra, was headed by John Esposito who filled the office of President. Outstanding among the members of the Mimes and Mummers, for his fine acting and playwriting, was John McGiver. He was amply rewarded with first prize for his acting and writing in his opus. J. Ballou Pouncefort. Playwright. Other distinguished wearers of the sock and the buskin were William Shouldice, and William Farley. In the other branches of athletics other than football, the Juniors dominated the other classes. The Junior quintet captured the Intra-mural League title after several hard tussles with the Soph and Senior Court teams. McCarthy and Ladroga, the big guns of the Junior attack, were awarded first team places on the All-League team selected by a committee of five iudges. Hildebrand and Murphy were among those who p’.aceJ on the second team. The outstanding athlete in the year, Tony DePhillios. was singularly honored by being chosen All-Catholic Guard and Captain of the All-East quintet which defeated the All West court stars. Fritzsche. Reinacher. Young were among the hard playing Juniors who brought further laurels to the Rose Hill Basketball Team. Base-Kill found B.tbe Young, Tony DePhillips, Bill Ladroga, Gene Coyle, Tommy Bristow, and Fritzsche as members of one of the finest Maroon nines in the past few decades. Bill Giesen was icwarded foi his fine efforts as a Ram natator by being elected Captain of the swimming team. Art Janncll, Artie Starrs. Nolan, Jerry Callijone, Joe Maniaci and Bob Dunseath gladdened the heart of Jake WcIrti with their consistently fine running. Jim McCrysta 1 and Mike Barsa represented the year on the Tennis Team and their great playing enabled Bob Dobson's courtmen to enjoy a successful season. After viewing these deeds which were performed by such outstanding representatives of the Class of 1936. we feel that the year as a whole will continue to add to the glorious achievements of the Junior Class of 36. May our record as Seniors be as bright and illustrious. Page 188 Bernard O'Reilly. 36. SOPHOMORES FRANCIS Class X. McDF.RMOTT of 1937 President EDWARD WHITE Vice-President FRANCIS MAUETTE ... Secretary JAMES A. DONOVAN. .Treasurer GEPTEMBER 17 marked the beginning of the second year .it Fordham for the Class of ’37- Its numbers were almost intact, for only a few familiar faces were missing. The incidents mentioned in these pages bear witness to the continued support and zeal for the glory of Alma Mater Fordham. This year, as full-fledged Sophomores, we were cast in the new role of receptionists where a year previous we had been those received. With the glee of a Simon Legree we let loose our Vigilance Committee upon the hapless Frosh. With fiendish satisfaction they put the neophytes through their paces. Snake dance followed upon snake dance. The perspiring Frosh were forced to tote trunks, to race madly over the Emerald colored Quadrangle to retrieve their boots from a towering heap of footwear. The Frosh were vanquished :n the traditional tug-of-war and they were forced to wear the usual cap and tie as part of their sartorial get-up. Page 191 Octobei inaugurated the football season and Saturdays found the various members of the Sophomore class among the rooters at the Polo Grounds. They cheered with a gusto they lacked as lowly Freshmen, for there were none present to demand that they should subside into silence. The Sophomore class had several outstanding standard bearers m the ranks of the Crowley grid men. Leo Paquin was brilliant as a wingman while diminutive Andy Palau aided in several Ram victories with his sterling generalship and heady playing as quarterback. Mautte, Mulrey and Dulkie became the bulwarks of the Ram attack when the Maroon was decimated by a long list or injuries. Such Thespians as Vincent Bohan and John Barry were worthy representatives, for they trod the boards with an air of ease and assurance which brought them to the notice of Fr Glen Walsh. S J and Mr. J. Gerard Cregan. The literary organs of the College had an abundance of Sophomores as members of their stiffs. Among those who served as reporters tor the popular campus paper, the ‘ Ram, were Thomas Logue. James A. Donovan. James Truta. M irtin Hession. Joseph Hartman and Frank Mulligan. The Fordham Monthly had as contributors of liter' arv gems Raymond Ripple, Thomas Costigan, James Somerville and J tines A. Donovan. Sophomore choristers aided in the phenomenal success of the Glee Club. The Second Year men were also active in the Hughes debating society. Several outstanding Soph forensic speakers were John Barry. Martin Hession and Lawrence Donoghue. Ray Walsh and Victor Del Guetcio dominated the Tennis Tournament held unde: the auspices of the Intra mural Athletic Association, with Ray defeating Vic for the silver loving cup after a hard fought battle. In Basketball, the class was represented by the durable Andy Palau and Vic Del Guercio who thrilled several Garden audiences with their inspired playing. Warren Mulrey, Andy Palau, George Robinson and Specs Barris were leaders in bringing a successful season to the Rase Hill nine. Robinson is to be remembered for bis spectacular two hit victory over the hard hitting, experienced Temple Owls. Mike Rafferty continued his winning ways as a Varsity track man and hopes to fill the shoes of the famous Joe McCluskey. Trainer and Coach Jake Weber predicts a brilliant running career for the Sophomore “Mite. We have given many representative men to further the glory of our Alma Mater. Those gifted with superior football ability fought on the gridiron with the gameness and cleaness characteristic of all Fordham men. our basketeers gave their all to bring victory to the Maroon and even when defeated, displayed that sportsmanship which is ingrained in all Ram athletes; our debaters, our playwrights, our actors, our singers have united in common effort -to enhance the traditions handed down from years gone by. To the men who have trained us. to Father Taifee, to Father M ick, to Mister Ward, our Jesuit professors, and to all the laymen who have helped to shape the characters and the destinies of the Class of 1937, we offer our smeerest thanks and gratituJe for their patience and kindness in their dealings with us. We trust that this record will grow- in renown, as a pledge and a promise that our members will continue to uphold the best Fordham traditions. Francis X. McDermott, ’37. Page 192 FRESHMEN Class of 1938 EDMUND J. FRANCO PHILIP C. MORRIS .. VINCENT McMAHON VITO F. NOLE ... . . . . President Vice President Secretary T reasurer MONDAY morning, September 17, marked the beginning of the saga of the Class of ‘38 From the four winds, four hundred and fifty eager Freshmen came to Ford' ham to begin their collegiate careers. Father Charles J. Deane. S.J., Vice-President and Dean of Fordham College, made the new class welcome. This short chronicle attests to the fact that the Class of 38 has lived up to the ideals set before it during its first year at Fordham and pledges to continue to do the same during the three remaining years of colle-giate training. The doughty Vigilance Committee of the Sophomore Class prepared to mike the novices at home in the traditional Fordham manner. After several soirees, they dis-covered that the would-be hapless Freshmen had other ideas concerning the punishment dealt out to them. They submitted meekly to the snake-dances and the “coat-turning, but when called upon to demonstrate the “never say die spirit of Freshmen everywhere, they met the challenge of their adversaries and came out of the fray with a deep feeling of satisfaction. On October 5, the rivalry was decided by a so-called decisive victory for the Sophs in the annual tug-of-war. The indignity of it all was that the I'rosh anchor Page 195 man was dragged over the deciding marker by way of the hard green turf. We Freshmen had other ideas about the traditional event. In an unofficial contest, one hundred and fifty valiant Yearlings proceeded to drag a puny hundred of the Second Year men hither and yon over the green swarth of the Quadrangle. Encouraged by this moral victory, the Frosh proceeded to doff the regalia which signified their subservience to the Sopho' meres. With Freshman Week but .1 memory the class turned to the sport dearest to the heart of all college Frosh football. The Freshman football team was heralded far and wide as the strongest ever to wear the Maroon of Fordham. Though defeated in one contest, they evinced such power and speed that experts predict that these Freshmen will be the main cogs in the Varsity teams of the next three years. Their record fails to give an adequate indication of their potential strength. Coach Hunsinger deserves a word of credit for then fine work. Several players deserve particular notice. They are Arrigom, Gurskc. Lock and Woitkowski in the backfield. and Wojciecowicz, Lesinski, Meyer and Franco in the line. The Yearlings bowed to St. John’s Prep, 13 0 but swamped Westchester Military Academy and McKenzie Prep by the scores of 53-0 and 38-0 respectively. The Ram lets enjoyed a fair season on the Basketball court and showed that they possessed unusual ability and promise. The Maroons topped Roosevelt High, St. Peter's Frosh and Kips Bay Boy s Club in succession. The cycle turned when the Frosh bowed to Horace Mann, N. Y. I ’. Frosh. Connecticut Junior College, Army Plebes and City College Jayvees, interrupted by a lone victory over Roosevelt High. Coach Hayes was successful in teaching the Rainlets the fundamentals ol the game and thus developed several likely prospects for the Varsity. The Freshman Tiack Team gladdened the heart ol Jake Weber and he has hopes of developing another McCluskcy from their ranks. Paul Fay and Vic Moore competed in the Half Mile, with Billy Lynch, hurdler and dash man, Phil Moriss, a miler, Augie Paoli. and Vinny McMahon comprising the rest of the well-balanced team of shoe-burners. The Class of 38 was well represented in the more cultural activities of the campus. Robert E. Doerr, '38 was a consistent contributor to the pages of the “Monthly. John P Coveney showed great promise as an actor and a writer by gamering the first prize for wilting and the second for acting with his opus, “Escape,' presented during the Freshmen One Act Plays. Leo Larkin, William Mattison and Justin McCarthy showed promise as members of the Hughes Debating Society. William Love and John Crowley represented the Freshmen on the “Ram” Stiff. The Band, the Orchestra and the Glee Club had many Freshman music lovers as their supporters. The Fordham Freshman dinner Wednesday night, November 21. at the Hotel Astor. marked the end of the enforcement of the Freshmen rules for the year and the uniting of the friendly enemies, the Classes of 37 and ’38. The entire Freshman class of 450 members. with their professors, were present at the dinner. On the dais were the Very Rev. Aloysius J. Hogan, S.J., President of Fotdham University; the Rev. Charles J. Deane, S.J., Dean of Fordham College; the Rev. Thomas H. Moore, S.J., Student Counselor; the presidents of the Junior and Senior Classes and the Toastmaster. Francis X. McDermott, president of Sophomore. The assembly was addressed by the President, Dean, Student Counselor and the Presidents of the Sophomore and the Freshman Classes. Music was provided by the University orchestra and entertainment by members of the two lower classes. This sincere support of everything Fordham is a pledge of the continued goodwill and devotion of the Class of '38. Francis J. Henry, '38. Page 196 Page 197 Page 198 ACTIVITIES Senior Council Rev.

There is no name in all the Fordham lexicon that is more hallowed with tradition, more interwoven with the history of Fordham down through the years, than that of the Parthenian Sodality. As old as the elms that line our walks, as old as our “ivy'mantled walls as old indeed as the college itself, the Parthenian Sodality continues to shower its benefits on the Fordham man of 1935 as it did on the man of 1895 and the man of 1846. Composed of resident students only, it has exerted a tremendous influence on their whole spiritual life. During the Lenten Season of the past year the Sodality continued its recent custom of conducting the Stations ot the Cross one evening each week. All the students shared in her work, through the joint participation of all the Sodalb ties in the most glorious of all Fordham traditions, the May Devotions, in honor of Our Queen and Mother, which have been conducted annually for the last halt century under the auspices of The Parthenian Sodality.

Its purpose is not merely to secure perfunctory faithfulness in assist' mg at Mass hut especially, to instill in its members a true appreciation of the value of the Holy Sacrifice, the pivotal point of all Catholic devotion. In this high purpose the society well succeeded as evidenced by the fervor and fidelity of its members m their duties. Another of the Sodality's functions was the instruction of students in the manner of assisting at Mass and other Ceremonies of the Church. At the hi weekly meetings instructions were given or. the significance of the Mass and of Church Symbolism. The members of the Sodality participated also in all the religious ceremonies held by the College including (hose of the Retreat, the Mass of the Holy Ghost, Fust Friday Devotions, and the solemn triduum in honor of the three hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the Prima Pnmaria Sodality in Rome. Social life was not overlooked, however, taking the form of several suppers at intervals during the year and a final banquet as a climax and a reward for a good year's work.

The highest mark of interest and attendance since its foundation was attained when a group of nearly two hundred Seniors and Juniors attended the weekly meetings. Lee ture work among the parishes and Newman Clubs of the city was conducted by the Lee ture Committee of the Council of Debate in union with the Catholic Action program of the Sodality, surpassing lecture activity of former years by a good margin. Weekly meetings found members of the Sodality addressing the assembly on such timely topics as Social Justice, the Legion of Decency and the Catholic Literary revival. Bi-monthly communion breakfasts for day students were initiated. Throughout the year thirty Sodalists acted as Catechists in Sunday Schools of Churches in the city. The 350th Anniversary of the founding of the Prima Primaria, the Mother of all the Sodalities of our Blessed Mother, was celebrated on December 9, 1934. The pontifical high mass was celebrated in the University Church by the Most Reverend Stephen J. Donahue, D.D , Auxiliary Bishop of New York. Father Ignatius W. Cox, S.J., delivered the anniversary commemoration sermon to the assembled sodalists of thirty Catholic colleges. Page 295 Holy Rosary Sodality RF.V. JOHN J.

Colligan, S.J., the Sopho more and Freshman Non-Resident students who composed the society turned their atten' non to inner spirituality, keeping in mind that first tenet of all true Catholic Action, Be m your personal life, openly and unashamedly, a saint. To the attainment of this end, the traditional Sodality prayers and the weekly instructions by the director were devoted. The feature of the Moderator's lecture program was a series of talks on the general Mibiect of Vocation what it is, how to recognise it, and how to encourage it By the work of this Sodality the members were guided in the direction of that spiritual strength and moral fibre upon which alone the character of a champion of Catholic Action can be built.

Librarian THE activities of the St. Vincent de Paul's Society during the past year may he summed up in that much'a bused word which is so sacred to the true followers of Christ, namely “Charity. Old clothes and Catholic literature were collected by the Society and were then distributed to the needy. Personal visits were made each week to impoverished Catholic patients in Municipal Hospitals, notably the Fordham Hospital. On these occasions the members inquued into the needs of these unfortunates and, as far as possible, remedied them. This work was carried on. in great part, through the funds received in the Annual Christmas collection taken up in all classes. In their other outstanding work. Catechism instruction at the Randalls Island Home for delinquent boys, the Society was concerned with spiritual rather than material chart' ties. The members found this work very interesting and the results most gratifying. During the year the Society members have gone about their missions of charity unobtrusive' ly and without thought of material reward. Their only motive has been the words of the Master, Whatsoever you have done unto the least of these my brethren, so also shall I do unto you. Page 205 The Harvester Club REV. JOSEPH F. BEGLAN, S.J..

Treasurer rT'HE HARVESTER CLUB has iust completed a very successful year. Its purpose L is to aid the foreign missions, especially the Jesuit Missions at Cagayan in the Philip' pines. Its outstanding social event of the year was the popular Smoker, held in October. The Southern Methodist Band tore the lid otf the night s entertainment and incidentally the roof olf the gym. Frankie Frisch. Grantland Rice and a galaxy of other headliners were introduced in grand style by Herman J. Herbert. Succeeding smokers will have t high mark to shoot at, after that night. Other activities, iust as arduous, if less spectacular, kept the club busy tor the other months. A substantial check to the Missions at the end of the year gave practical proof of the success of the members' untiring efforts. Page 206 The Council of Debate FRANCIS M. MARTIN.

Censor THEN the president, Neal K Roche, 35, called the first meeting to order and then ’ V introduced the new Moderator, Mr. F. M. Martin, S.J., and his assistant, Mr. Charles T. Broderick, both veteran and novice members alike realized that the future held an element of adventure and surprise for them. L’nder the impetus of these two directors the Council enacted a history that perhaps no past or future record can match. In the first debate of the year Neal K. Roche. 35, the president and James T. Tumulty, '35, the censor, upholding the reputation of the society met and by a unanimous decision de feated a team from Oxford University. Then true to their inaugural promises the mode' rators began to seek as many debates as possible and to use whomever distinguished him' self speaking from the floor of the Council in the weekly debates. So in January. John T Mooney, '35. Secretary of the Council and John Hayes, ’36, the first Junior to achieve Page 207 varsity ranking, conquered New York State Teachers' College. In quick succession Walter A. Sprouls, 35, Vice-President and Herman J. Herbert, '35, chalked up a victory over St. Peter’s College of Jersey City, and by the time this issue has gone to print the Council has numbered among its conquests Holy Cross College from Worcester, Mass., Rhode Island State College and Michigan State College. In all there were ten victories, three defeats and three no decision contests in the Intercollegiate engagements. In the weekly meetings, the Council rapidly became .1 rendezvous wherein might be found the “Sesame to the cache of artful tricks of logic and rhetoric that the tongue of a Demosthenes or a Cicero might voice. During these forensic skirmishes every precept taught in Sophomore in Father Donnelly's “Persuasive Speech was executed and at times the dehates assumed the atmosphere of an ethics or psychology quiz group. This pedagogical air always was associated however with the sophistication which only a College Senior can affect when he is trying either to impress or suppress a Junior. Under the guidance of Herman J. Herbert, 35, Chairman of the Lecture Committee, eighty-five lecture debates were delivered before various city organizations and through the medium of these the strict line of demarcation which usually divides a Senior from a Junior was destroyed. In all, the Council is proud of the fact that it has engaged in over one hundred debates on the platform. The element of surprise and adventure which the members sensed at the beginning of the year was realized in the ample experience and contacts which this body afforded. The Seniors are indeed proud of the heritage which they have bequeathed to the Juniors. Page 208 — Hughes Debating Society HAROLD J. McAULEY, A.B.. LL.B............................. Moderator JOHN D.

The Hughes Debating Team defeated Boston Col lege at Boston on February 24, bur lost to Holy Cross at Worcester on the following eve-' ing. A victory over Pennsylvania on March 7 was followed by a defeat at the hands of Manhattan. The Society concluded its schedule with a victory over Brooklyn Prep and losses to Georgetown, the Council of Debate and to Boston College, a second time. John Barry, Martin Hession and L iwrence Donoghue of 37 were active in the Sopho-more group. Great interest among tiie Freshmen was evidenced by the presence ol several first year men. William Mattison, Leo S. Loomie and Justin McCarthy were among those of the Class of 38 who took a leading part in the Society's activities. Page 209 The Mimes and Mummers FATHER GLFN F. WALSH, S.J.

That is, :t continued to break with tradition. First it chose a really modern play tor its Varsity production; secondly, one member won both prices in the annual one act play contest; thirdly, it broadcast a senes of plays over Station WLWL; and lastly, the Society played host to the Intercollegiate One Act Play Contest. The first break with the usual practice of recent years occurred when the late Edgar Wallace's play. Criminal at Luge,” which had but a short time lief ore enjoyed a run of a solid year on Braidway, was selected as the annual Varsity Play Production. To the surprise of the conservative element of the College and to the delight of the audience, the innovation was a complete success. By the skilful adaptation of Father Glen E. Walsh, S.J., the Society's Moderator, (who thus celebrated his return to the post which he held as a Scholastic) and J. Gerard Cregan, Assistant Moderator, tlie play retained its Page 21.) theatricality, its power of gripping the imagination and sustaining the interest of the audience, without resorting to the “Sliding Panel effect of the original which had no real significance to the play itself except to add to the vocal expressions of terror by the femi-nine contingent in the audience. All this resulted in a change in attitude of the student body toward the Play, and the cast responded with a performance, which, by amateur standards, was uniformly superb. Outstanding in the Play was James W. Fogarty, '35. capable and energetic President of the Mimes and Mummers, in the leading role of Lord Lebanon. Whether foppish or morbidly suspicious, whether in childlike petulance or in cold, cunning insanity, Mr. Fogarty was his character. His fine performance climaxed befittingly a collegiate acting career, which was studded with stellar performances. Frank X. Brown, also of the Class of 35, won high praise by his portrayal in the adapted role of the sinister Mr. Richard DeToine, who walked through the play as one dead except for his desire to see the family name perpetuated. Outstanding among the underclassmen, in a production that was marked by deft and sure handling of characterizations, were John I. McGiver, 36. as the caustic, keen-witted Inspector Tanner; and Vincent M. Bohan, 37, in the part ol Kelver, the perfect impersonal Butler. Credit must be given also to Harrison S. Downes, Prep. 35. to whom was assigned the difficult role of the terror-stricken Isla. The chief comedy relief was supplied by James T. Tumulty, 35, as the doughty Sergeant Potty. Other Seniors in the cast who played less prominent parts and played them well, were Thomas k. Egan, 35, as the whining small-time criminal Briggs, and Herman J. Herbert, as the timorous Raw-bane. Other underclassmen who gave capable performances in less outstanding roles were: William H. Coogan, 37 as the sympathetic Sergeant Ferraby, Thomas J. Spel-man, 37, as Brooks, the lumbering American gangster temporarily turned Butler, Charles McKenna, 36 as his smooth accomplice, GilJer: Lawrence Davey, the sole Freshman player as the messenger and William C. Shouldice, 36 as Warder Wilmot. The settings were the best seen on the Collins Auditorium Stage in many years, teing the originals used in the Broadway production. Due credit must be given to Thomas E. Walsh, 35 and his stage crew for the effectiveness of Cleon Throckmorton's Page 211 fl i d.irkly rich design in forming a fitting background for a fine production, and converting our college stage first into the Scotland Yard Headquarters and then into the gloomy grandeur of Marks Priory. It was John I. McGivcr, '36 who personally attended to the second of tradition by annexing first honors for both acting and writing in the Fourteenth Annual One Act Play Contest. Playing the titled role m his own play. ”J. Ballou Pounceforth, Play' wright,” Mr. McGiver's ran tings were met by spontaneous bursts of laughter on the part of the audience as the eccentric and ego centric “genius” hurled epithets, waxed melo' dramatic and ran the gamut of satire, burlesque and pure farce. This fast moving play was marked especially by its clever dialogue. Pure Irish Poetry,” as Father Robert I. Gannon, S.J. of St. Peter's College termed it, from the pen of Michael J. O'Neil in the form of the play, “The Sun Comes Up was judged the second best dramatic attempt of the year. The second prize for acting was awarded to 'Thomas J. Costigan, '37 in the role of Willie Tugger, who mastered an inferiority complex only to become afllicteJ with a supei lonty complex. Three members of the Senior Class were honored by having their plays presented. James T. Deacy offered The Crime Empire,” a farce, included in its cast James T. Tumulty, Gerard A. Shultz, Thomas K. Egan. Donald G. Pierce and the author, all of the Class of 1035. Song for Plow and Hammer a serious drama, was the work of Stephen S. Gorey, Jr.. 35 and included in its cast. James F. Kane, '36. Charles A. Grant, '37, William H. Coogan, 37. Thomas J. Spelman, 37 and Joseph F. Drury, '36. Donald G. Pierce wrote the Tugger Complex acted by Thomas J. Costigan, 37. the Prize winner, John C. Hilly, '36. Donald G. Pierce. ’35. John J. Hallberg, '37, George O. Delany, 36, Robert J. Purcell, 35. The concluding play to a fine evenings entertainment was The Father,” a tense drama by Thomas J. Fitzmorris. '36. Its characters were played by William C. Shouldice, '36, John J Hayes, '36, and Frank X. Brown, '35. In the cast of The Sun Comes Up” were Martin F. Hession, Rafael A. DeLeon, John G. Barry and Lawrence E. Donahue, all of the Class of '37. The Prize winning play besides Mr. McGivcr had in its cast Harold F. Spille, 37, Vincent M. Bohan, 37 and James W. Fogarty, 35. Soon after the presentation of these One Act Plays another innovation followed with the presentation of a senes ol plays broadcast over Station WLWL by the members of the Mimes and Mummers. The Tyros of Fordham's dramatic life next took the stage with the Freshman One Act Play Contest in which all the plays were written and acted by members of the Fresh man Class. The climax of the Mimes and Mummers activities will be reached, when for the second time, Fordham University; will play host to the Intercollegiate One Act Play Contest. This outstanding dramatic event will take place however. May 3rd, long after the Maroon has gone to press. Fordham's entrance will be the Hand of Siva” by Ben Hecht. James W. Fogerty, 35. John I. McGivcr. 36, Frank X. Brown, '35, Martin F. Hessior), 37, John Hayes, 36, have been chosen tentatively as the cast. Other competing colleges will be Georgetown, St. Peter's of Jersey City, and St. Joseph's of Philadelphia. Thus a year of real achievement shall be fittingly brought to a clo e by the Mimes and Mummers. Credit should be given here to those who worked behind the scenes and who yet contributed so much to the years success, the Business Committee and the Stage Crew. Mr. Kevin J. O'Brien. S.J. managed the financial affairs of the Mimes and Mummers production. The Society was fortunate to have the efficient Declan X. McMullen, '35 as General Manager, and as Co-Worker, Vincent J. McLaughlin, '36 as Chairman of the Business Committee. Ably assisting in this work were the oilier members of the com-miitee, Charles A O'Reilly, '35, Stephen S. Gorey, 35, Joseph G. Katin, '36 and James T. McCrystal. 36. Tribute shoulJ be paid to Thomas E. Walsh, 35 and his hard working stage crew without whose efforts the Mimes and Mummers successes would have been impossible.

I 'nder the leadership of Harold V. Kennedy, 35, the Glee Club has had its most successful concert season since the organization was formed. On November 16. a concert was presented at the College of Mount St. Vincent, which was followed by a supper dance in honor of the Fordham men. On Christmas Eve. the Glee Club Choir sang the Mass in the I niversity Chapel. After the Christmas-holidays, the club continued its rehearsals for the annual Town Hall Concert, the out' standing musical and social event of the year at Fordham. On January 16, the Fordlv.m singers travelled to Good Counsel College in White Plains where they presented their second public concert. St. Elizabeth s College at Convent Station. N. J. and Georgnn Court College at Lakewood, N. J. were hosts to the Glee Club on February 13 and 21 respectively. An entirely new program was presented to the friends of the Fordham University Glee Club on the night of March 20 in Town Hall. Included in the repertoire were works by Palestrina, Mendelssohn, Victor Herbert. Deems Taylor and Sigmund Romberg. Wagner's magnificent Pilgrims Chorus from Tannhaiiser, the closing number, was a fitting climax to an excellent concert. Due to the efforts of the concert committee, the Town Hall haJ a capacity auJience Forty members of the Glee Club selected by the Board of Directors made a trip to Boston at Easter time. Conceits were presented at Regis College in Weston, and at Emmanuel College in Boston. In May the Glee Club made several more appearances. On May 7. the Fordham choristers sang at Notre Dame College on Staten Island; on the eleventh of May, they were heard on a nationwide network of the National Broadcasting System. On May 16, the Club presented a concert at the Hotel Plaza in New York City. The Club wound up the season with their singing at the Baccalaureate Mass on June 9. To Rev. Theodore T. Farley much praise is due for the efficient manner in which he managed the affairs of the organization. His capable supervision and advice were inv portant factors in bringing about a very successful season. Mr. Frederic Joslyn deserves a vote of thanks for his untiring efforts to make the season a complete success. As a conductor of such a fine group of choristers, he is without a peer. We bid adieu to the members of the Class of 35 who have sung their last refrain as members of the Fordham Glee Club. They have set a mark worthy of emulation among the'members of the lower classes. May we see them all again when It's Town Hall Tonight. Page 215 Fordham Monthly '‘ THE FORDHAM MONTHLY, during the past year, gave ample testimony as to why it maintains such high rank among the college literary magazines. The fifty-third volume began with a new Moderator, the Rev. William F. Dolan, S.J.. and a greatly reduced staff but the untiring efforts of both surmounted all obstacles. The format veered away slightly from that of last year, leaning towards a more conservative interpretation of traditional policy. The result was a magazine of rare charm and dignity. It successfully aspired to make itself remembered as an academic publication of the highest character. The ' Aisle Seat of the dramatic critic of last year was deleteJ in favor of A Fair Exchange which is, as the name implies an exchange feature. A Book Review was added over and above this. At the beginning of the year the Business Department was reorganized and better coordinated. Thomas J. Fitzmorris, 36, Editor, continued his splendid work, making frequent contributions of both a literary and an artistic nature. His editorial style brought a new «.nd pleasing note to that department. Samuel D. McClelland, 35 has displayed a versatility which is indeed remarkable. Besides turning out numerous stories, essays, poems and art sketches which won high praise, he has vigilantly sentineled the financial well-being of the publication, as Business Manager. William Gahalan, 3S upheld his reputation as a poet of worth and ability. His verses were uniformly good. Page 216 George McKenna, 36, the fourth veteran member of the stiff, turneJ from poetry to the short story, and with success. The remainder oi the staff was all appointed this year and has acquitted itself nobly. Raymond J. Ripple, 37, did some fine poetry and Thomas J. Castigan produced several clever stones. James F. Kane, ‘36 was Assistant Business Manager and William J. H-.r-ten. ”36. Exchange Editor. John P. Lahey, ”36 and Graham H. Walworth wrote sonic excellent prose while Robert F.. Doerr, ”3S and William de Rohan Taaflfe, ‘38 have done very well and show great promise. Especially so the latter. The Senior members leave the Fordham Monthly's pages with a sense of acconv plishment and high hopes for the future of the magazine. Prtftf 217 The Ram HTHE “RAM. the weekly student newspaper of the Fordham campus, this year com ■ - pletes its sixteenth year of publication. From the time ol Us inception, when it appeared in a few small pages, until the present, when it ranks among the foremost college organs, from the standpoint of format and composition, the “Ram has steadily adhered to the policy c irved in its masthead, to uphold the best traditions of Fordham and of the press. To the last four volumes of the “Ram. the Class of 1035 has contributed much, lx th in personnel and co-operation. William B. McGurn as Editor in Chief showed a devotion and energy to the publication which did not slacken with his appointment as Editor but rather increased. Bernie Hughes, as Business Manager, handled the fiscal end with an efficiency and accuracy which is characteristic of him. The Editorial Board, upon which falls the burden of editing and supervising, functioned with an effective smoothness which was directly traceable to the capability and co-operation of it members. Frank X. Brown, Bob Dobson, John I lot an, and Call All ert, all of the Senior class, aided the Editor in bringing out weekly, a newspaper which was a credit to themselves and to the University. Carrying out the assignments of the Editorial Board. Walter Sprouls and Neal Roche of 35 served in the capacity of what is known in journalistic jargon as star reporters. The proclivity of the Ram's readers to peruse avidly its sport pages placed the athletic chroniclers under the obligation of presenting accurately and agreeably the news Page 218 of the diamond, gridiron and track. In this department, Tom Lenahan found an outlet lor his natural flair for sporting statistics and his talented pen re created many events throughout his four years' association with the paper. George Appell of '35 acted as Tom's faithful assistant and the combination set a mark which their successors can well and profitably aim at. Crystallising and digesting the sports panorama at Ford ham, Jim O'Donovan, in his “Looking Them Over column, ollered a pleasing and well written resume of the current athletic situation. Columns and feature writers have apparently become an established part of American newspapers and the “Ram'' does not lack these complements to its journalistic make-up. John Donovan, Jr. in his Winchellesque “Ramblings, directed a facile pen at the kaleido scope which is the campus, and combined social life and college tradition with individual idiocyncracies in an interestingly readable potpourri of the Campus. Bringing the news of other colleges to Rose Hill, John J. Horan in his “OfF-Campus section produced what has become one of the most widely read parts of the “Ram. Both Tom Lenahan in Sportshots,” and Jim O'Donovan in the aforementioned Looking Them Over, gave absorbing pictures of the sports scene at the College The Staff Artist, Tom K. F.gan, enhanced frequent editions with the productions of his artistic crayon and Ins work equ died that appearing in any of the Ram's exchanges. Aside from the editorial departments of the publication, the other functions which are essential to a newspaper were in capable hands. John Savarese, as Circulation Manager. directed the despatching each week of the edition which runs to over two thousand copies. The accuracy and detail, with which stall writers could present past facts concerning ligures in articles, were due to the admirable manner in which that journalistic institution, The Morgue, was handled by Reference Manager Frank McMahon. The “Ram's Honor Roll of Service, mythical though it may he, may well display the legend of the Class of 1935. Of the fourteen Seniors who were members of the staff, a dozen are completing a full four years of devotion and labor to the publication. The standards of journalism and fidelity to a cause, which past classes have set, have been zealously and firmly upheld, and when Bill McGurn sounds the last deadline for the men of 35, theirs is the right to lay down their pens and look, in a satisfied retrospect fully merited at a job that was well done.

It was one of the first, if not the first newspaper to Iv published in French by the students of any college in this country. Since that date Fordham France has grown steadily both in popularity and in circulation, and is now in its fifth volume. Under the untiring and inspirational guidance of Basile G. D’Ouakil, Ph.D., LL.B.. veteran Professor of French in the College, the students of French at Fordham College h.-.ve achieved a remarkable succcs; with this publication. The incessant influx of favorable and congratulatory comment which Fordham-France continues to evoke from its readers in all jxirts of the glol'e gives testimony of its widespread interest and appeal. Both the quality of the French and the variety of the subjects presented in Fordham-France have been instrumental in bringing to Fordham University no mean share of pub Jicity. and have set the standard to be followed in the field of modern language publications bv other institutions of higher education.

The high degree of satisfaction attained is proof that this hope was fulfilled. Intimate, informal meetings, intense interest, and searching inquiry into the style and technique of the short story all came to gratifying fruition. The Common-theme Plan, in which each member writes his version of a common plot, was used with great effect. This plan, introduced last year, seems destined to become a permanent feature of the Club. For the first time the members took over an entire edition of the Fordham Monthly for their own work. This was the May issue, and flattering comment was their reward. Excellent stories were produced. But even more significant than this was the improvement evidenced in each member's work, and the keen enjoyment derived by all concerned. - d = 1 Page 221 The Mendel Club REV. JOSEPH ASSMIJTH. S.J.

Now in 1935 the Biology students find the realization ol those dreams in the various enterprises sponsored by this club. First of ill there is the club room which serves both as a laboratory and gathering place for the Mendellians; secondly there are the regular meetings at which there are guest speakers and student demonstrations; and finally there are the social activities ot the club. The latter consists of informal banquets the purpose ot which is to promote a teeling of goodfellowship among the club members. In addition there is the “Cabmuth, the official organ of the MenJel Club in which the students are given an op]x rtunity to try their hand at writing papers of general biological interest.

Since that time, this latest of the campus organizations has shown promise of becoming the leader in the extra-curricular held. The purpose in forming the Business Forum was that on efficient vehicle for the dissemination of practical knowledge of the commercial, financial and governmental structure of the modern business world lie provided to students interested in those particular fields of endeavor. From the beginning, when the Hon. Grover A. Whalen was procured to lecture on the National Recovery Act for which, at that time, he was Metropolitan Administrator, the officers and moderator of the Business Forum have kept the society's purpose always before them. Such capable men as Raymond Reiss, Dean Wilkinson, Thomas Lanheady, William Hillyer. among others addressed the members. The Stock and Curb Exchange, the Columbia Braidcasting System and the Atlantic and Pacific Tea Co. were visited in groups. Motion pictures furnished by the United Air Lines and the Federal Housing Administration, were shown being accompanied with appropriate expositions by speakers. We expect th.it in years to come, we shall look back with pride upon the fact that the Class of 35 was instrumental in bringing to life a new factor in campus activities.

Treasurer DECAUSE FRANCE is something more than the popular idea of “Montparnasse and the “Boul Michel, the French Club has its existence. In keeping with its put' pose “to encourage the use of French and promote French culture, the French Club in' vited, during the past year, men and women of prominence in their fields to address the Club on topics of interest. Their acceptance and enthusiastic reception by the students bespeaks of the Club's calibre. Besides the FordhamFrancp, the French Club has for its official voice Lp. Rayon, an annual published and edited solely by the undergraduates. Last year the annual, devoted to an appreciation of the work done by the Jesuits, received an unique honor among Fordham publications in the form of a commendatory letter from the Very Rev. Vladimir Ledochowski, S.J., Father General of the Society of Jesus. The Club does not restrict its activities to French publications or weekly meetings. In addition to the monthly repasts, the annual banquets aboard the He de France of the French Line have been a source of joy to both the members of the faculty and the students who attended.

In that year, “II Circolo di Cultura Italiana began its mission of bringing together those students with a common interest in Italian Culture and tradition. “II Circolo has well earned its place in the hearts of its members and each passing year has witnessed a larger and more enthusiastic group at its regular meetings, which .ire devoted to discussion of topics of Italian American interest. A tine spirit of mutual interest and co-operation pervaded throughout the year with the result that the aim of the club to familiarize its members with Italian personalities and Italian history was fully realized. Interest was heightened considerably by a vivid series of lectures, presented by students of advanced history, covering the entire range ol Italian history. These and many other topics not only were of great interest to the members, but also served the double purpose ol aiding in the attainment of fluency in the conversational use of the language.

Treasurer ' THE FORDHAM DEUT5CHER KULTURVEREIN is the youngest language Club on the campus. It was founded in the fall of 1931. at the request of many students of German and through the efforts of its present Moderator. Mr. Albert F Kaelin. Despite its youth, the Club has a staunch, if small, following of about forty active members, who are imbued with the ideal of the fostemig and advancement of the German culture and language at Fordham. The better to attain this end, the language is used as much as possible at the meetings of the Society. A novel teaching method, which is used to accustom the members to the intricacies of German pronunciation, is the playing of phonograph records in the German language. Besides these, papers are read by the members on various phases of German life, science, literature and art. The most outstanding social event of the year was the Society's banquet held in March at a well-known New York restaurant. In the opinion of the members who attended, it was a fitting culmination of the year's activities. At the final meeting, the members gave a special vote of thanks to their esteemed Moderator, to their officers, and to the various committees for their untiring efforts during the year.

Founded in 1929 by its esteemed Moderator Rev. Charles J. Deane, S.J, the Club has fostered a fraternal spirit that has only mellowed with the fleeting years. Here we have the Fordham Forum where every week the social gladiators ot the B. L. I. while away the hours. Intriguing problems of some future Dansant are profoundly discussed with a slight injection here and there of local wit and humor. Each member in his turn must have his say and opinions vary m proportion to the brethren present. This adds a spark ot interest which perhaps accounts for the enthusiastic response at each meeting. The spirit of loyalty and sentiment attached to the extra curricular activity is most noticeable by the splendid, wholehearted support of the Alumni at its various functions. The Winter Social of the Brooklyn Long Island Club is a well established tradition. It is usually the afterglow of the scorching mid term exams where success is tasted or sorrow drowned. Linder the capable guidance of Chairman Jack McLaughlin, the scene of the annual festivities took place on February 1st in the Grand Ballroom of the Hotel Biltmore. To the soothing strains of Peter Van Steeden's Orchestra young grads stretched hands across the table, old grads renewed college acquaintances and future grads added another picture to their scrapbook of pleasant memories of Rose Hill.

It was founded in December, 1924 by our respected Registrar, Mr. Thomas A. Reilly and since that time has forgeJ onward with increasing success. The sole aim of the organization has been to implant the Fordham spirit in the fertile soil of the Nutmeg State. Since its establishment, the Connecticut Club has served as the criterion for other State societies. The Annual Christmas Dance was held at Bridgeport in the Grand Ballroom of the Hotel Stratfield. Judging from the gayety and laughter that intermingled with the melodious tunes of Bronerwein, the affair was quite successful. The past year will go down in the annals of the Club's history as one of good fortune and prosperity. So wre have no concern for the Connecticut Club in the yeirs to come, if we believe the words of the famous poet, The best of prophets of the future is the past. Fuge 229 The Massachusetts Club REV.

Circumstances were indeed highly unfavorable when it was considered that members were comparatively few and distant Irom then native state. But strangely enough, thanks to the persistence and unilagging enthusiasm of this small group, a society was established and since has increased to a fair proportion. Like any other state club, the members began a campaign to spread the fair name of Fordham throughout their native state. How successful they were can be readily attested by the marvelous welcome extended to all the Rose Hill students on their arrival in Boston. Although laboring under a physical disadvantage of a few hundred miles, neverthe less the Bay Staters have been active in social life. Their annual dance was indeed an extraordinary success and a credit to the loyalty of its members both present and past. In parting, we merely wish to congratulate the Club on its splendid work and hope that future years bring continued good fortune to the Massachusetts Club. Page 230 The New Jersey Club REV.

Granted their charter in 1928, under Father Deane's watchful gaze this gallant group has forged ever onward with increasing success. As stated in the constitution the pur-pose of the organization has been to further a greater spirit of friendship and loyalty among the natives of Jersey. In accordance with the annual tradition, the Newark Athletic Club was selected as the rendezvous for the Fall Dance. Acting as our distinguished “Charge d'Affaires, ' Wally Sprouls instigated a powerful publicity campaign to insure a fine attendance. As an added attraction it was whispered among the local swain that Ed Henckler and Orchestra would make a personal appearance. In the face of such flying rumors it is merely natural that there would be a grand gathering of the tribe. And so it was. On the evening of November 27th the Fall Dance of the jersey Club was an occasion for much joy and merriment. The night was filled with music and demure, young maids with proud beaus waltzed to their hearts'content. As the glad rays of Dawn peeped over the majestic Hudson, beaming countenances and tired feet, hailed the affair a huge success. And so time rolls on. In parting we have only a word of praise for the past. For the future, a fond hope of continued prosperity to the Jersey Club. Page 231 The Pennsylvania Club REV. CHARLES J.

KILO JLLEN, '37........................Secretary-Treasurer V 7rHAT THE PENNSYLVANIA CLUB lacks in members, it certainly accounts for VV in spirited activity. The fraternal spirit and air of congeniality that pervades their meeting room is merely typical of the individual Key Stater. With only a mere handful of upper classmen to advise and encourage the more numerous younger members the Club has managed to establish itself on a par with all other campus organizations. Despite their number, the surprising observation has been made that the Pennsylvania Club has more loyal adherents among its Alumni than many of its brother societies. Their annual functions are indeed worthy and complimentary to the fair name of their Alma Mater. As the college year closes, we wish the younger members the best of luck. May Fordham ever be proud to shelter within her ivy walls, the Pennsylvania Club. Page 2}2 The Vermont Club BASIL H. CANDON '35 ................................... President THOMAS D.

A limitation in their numbers still hampers the Green Mountain boys in any attempt to sponsor a formal affair, yet it furthers one of the purposes of the Club by cementing a closer bond of friendship among its members than could be attained in a larger group.

Treasurer EARLY in December, 1934, a handful of Westchesterites met to discuss plans for form ing a Club, whose purpose would be to bring together the many students of Westchester County and thus to foster a spirit of goodfcllowship and to promote greater loyalty to Fordham throughout the county. On December 3. elections were held lor the executive offices in the Club. William O. Crabtree, '35, was elected President; Anthony J. Cer-rato, 35, was chosen Vice-President . Paul D. Reid, 35, received the office of Secretary, while Joseph M. Kilmartin, '35. was selected as Treasurer. Meetings were designated to be held on the first and third Thursdays of every month. After an intensive membership campaign, it was announced that seventy-three Westchesterites had joined the ranks of the Club. Encouraged by such an enthusiastic turnout. President Crabtree is confident that the Westchester Club will become one of the leading social organizations on the campus. On Friday evening. May 3. the Westchester Club had its corning out party by way of a dansant held on the Rool of the Pennsylvania. Dick Messner's music makers furnished the tunes for the large gathering. With such an auspicious beginning, the Westchester Club brought its first season to a successf ul close. Page 234 Officers Club LT. COL. EDWARD L. KELLY.

Armed with A.15. s, they marched into the several government posts to learn the mechanics of artillery gunnery. They soon found out that an A.B. is never as effective as an Army spade when it comes to digging a guivpit. At Tilden and Sandy Hook, our men joined hands with Student Officers from Delaware in learning how to solve the problem ot deflection and range finding. After a month of intensive training, as a final test of their ability, the young Fordham Officers were participants in a mock artillery attack and an overnight bivouac, during which they conducted themselves in such a manner that they received an excellent rating from the Corps Area Commander, who complimented Lt. Colonel Kelly and his aides Lt. Merkle, Sgt. Berger and Sgt. Smith, for their efficient instruction. The men made many trips to the nearby resorts, but strange as it may seem, all concerned preferred dear old New York City as their place of divertisement on leave nights.

The Rams faced a schedule surpassed by none in college gridiron circles. Six inter' sectional clashes with the toughest teams of those regions—St. Mary’s on the Pacific Coast. Southern Methodist of the Lone Stir State. Purdue from the Mid West plains, Tennessee from below the Mason-Dixon Line, the West Virginia Mountaineers, and Boston College from historical New England soil. “How would Fordham fare7 was the moot question. Fordham 57. Westminster 0 Fordham inaugurated its 1934 foot hall season on the wet and soggy turf of the Yankee Stadium with a one-sideJ conquest over a lighting Westminster eleven from Pennsylvania. The linal score was 57 0 and no doubt could have been run much higher if Crowley had not wished to experiment with his line and hack held arrangements. Fordham 6, Boston College 0 On Columbus Day. October 12. Fordham journeyed up to Boston and won its second game of the season when Boston College's Eagles were defeated by a 6-0 score at Alumni Field. The trip-harr.mer-like action of Joe Mamuci's legs pounded out a pathway to victory for the Rams. Only a vast amount of good luck that supplemented Mamacis touchdown made the Rams' triumph possible. The men in Maroon were never able ro crash their way further than Boston College's 37 yard line thereafter, and they were compelled to light oft the Eagles' frenzied challenge that lasted all through the second hair. The crowd of 22,(XX that tilled every seat in the stadium was sent into spells of anguish by the series of desperate and futile attempts of the Maroon and Cold eleven to score. Altogether the Boston backs threw 28 forward passes and completed ten with the result that the game hung precariously in the balance. The entire Fordham team rose to great defensive heights and l eld the hard-fighting Eagles for downs on the five yard line in the second quarter, and on the one yard line, inches short of a first down in the final period. Nor was that all. The Boston giants pitcheJ and rushed their way to the 26 yard li:ve once, ilie 28 yard line another time, and to the 14 yard marker in the waning minutes ol the game but failed by split seconds or fractions of an inch in each crisis to fashion a touchdown play. Bounding into the play came Les Borden, the Ford- Page 241 -rr hair. Captain, anc he cut down Mahercy with a sabre-hke thrust of his body. As Boston’s last defender toppled, his hand gripped Maniac is leg for a moment, hut Joe wrenched himself free and continued on lus way to a touchdown In the second half, with Flaherty and Ben Moyna-han throwing the passes, and Boh Curran and Earl Avery carrying the ball, the Boston offense started tc click, and did so well that they had the Rams or the defensive for almost the entire two periods. Curran was stopped by the Maroon forward wall on the one yard line, and three of Moynahan's dangerously accurate passes were dropped by the unfortunate Boh Cash in the end zone. Soon after the third heave slipped away from the Boston left end. the game ended with Fordham's goal-line yet inviolate. Fordham 9, St. Mary's 14 Slip Madigan's powerful St. Mary's eleven from the Moraga Valley handed Fordham its hrst setback of the grid season before 60,000 roaring spectators. Typical of former Ram-Moragan meetings it was a sensational game replete with thrills. And it was only the dogged dclcnsc of the Maroon men which held the crashing Gaels to the slight 1-} 9 margin of victory. On the offensive the lighting Ram team Wrf completely subdued by the Californians. First to score in the opening period when Joe Maniaci intercepted a Gael pass and raced SO yards along the sideline for a touchdown, the Rams never threatened thereafter. The hard running Moragans kept Jim Crowley’s forces on the defensive contimi' ally. With Harry The Horse Mateos leading the way in ground play and ever menacing from the air. the Galloping (laels ran rojgh-shod over Fordlia-r. In all the Moragans gained over 400 yards and most cf the yardage was rolled up with terrific ground advances which the Maroon could not halt. Fcrdham held its early 7 0 lead till late in the sec-on quarter. With but a few minutes remaining in the half Harry Mattes tossed to ErJelat: placing the pigskin on Fordham's one yard marker. On the following play Mattos plowed through left tackle and evened the game. Fordham fought heroically in their endeavor to draw abreast but the Gaels were too strong. However in the encircling gloom the aggressive Bill Tatro broke through the Gael wall and blocked a punt. The ball bounded off Tatro's chest, rolled beyond the end zone and was an automatic safety. That was the closest Fordham. came to another tally. S: Mary's resumed play on their 20 yard line and staged a great drive downheld with Mattes and A1 Nichellm smashing the line, skirting the flanks ar.J occasionally passing for large gains. The final whistle found the weary Rams battling to hold the fort or. their five yard line in a game effort to stop further Morag.m scoring. Fordham 14, Southern Methodist Univ. 26 Outfought and outsmarted by a quick-striking band of Mustangs from Southern Methodist University, Fordham suffered its second defeat of the season before thirty thousand spectators at the Polo Grounds. The big. powerful line and speedy backheld of’ the Texas eleven proved too much for the crippled Rams, who succumlied by a 26 14 score. It was the greatest number of points rolled up against a Fcrdham team since 192S and was the fourth straight inter sectional tilt that they have lost ir. two years. Fordham went into the lead early in the hrst period. Page 242 artcr the two elevens had exchanged punts twice. Two S. M. U. passes, Myers to Fuqua, ar.d Finley to Fuqua put the hall on Fordham's JO yard line. Finley dropped hack again hut this time Joe Dulkie cut in front ot the intended receiver and ran 70 yards for a touchdown and the first score of the game, behind beautiful down-field blocking. Andy Palau place-kicked the point. Near the end of the period the spindly-legged Rob Wilson entered the game lor Southern Methodist. Fordham had just stopped a Mustang drive in the shadow of the goal-posts. Palau kicked to Wilson, and the Texas speedboy was downed by Borden on the Fordham 47 yard marker On the next play, the first on which he handled the ball from scrimmage. Wilson ran wide around the Ram right end. reversed his field sharply and ran over the last stripe unmolesteJ for S. M. U.'s initial score. The second period opened with the ball on Ford-ham's 35 yard line. A pass. Wilson to Bur: was good for 14 yards and a first down. Or. a fake spinner, Wilson circled Fordham's right end for 11 more yards. Wilson dropped back as if to pass, and then skirted the Maroon left end for his second score of the game. Orr kicked the point. The score read 13 7 in S. M. U.'s favor. Early in the third period Sarausky punted to Myers on the Mustang 40 yard mark. Myers and Shuford plunged for two first dowr.s ten yards past midfield. Two passes, the second a short one of 12 yards from Finley to Smith down the center were good for another touchdown. The visiting end raced 32 yard over the last white lire. Oir made the score 20-7 by kicking the point. Late in the final quarter, the Fordham otfense finally started to click. Led by Bill Curran. Warren Mulrev anil Joe Dtilkie. the Rain.- put on a sustained drive that carried them :rom their own 47 yard line to a touchdcw n. They seemed to be halted momentarily on the Mustang's 5 yard stripe, but with goal to goon the fourth down Les Borden circled his ow’n left flank on an end-around play tor the score. Palau place kicked the point. Fordhiiyn 27, West Virginia 20 The Fordham Rams came from behind in an unstoppable last period rush, in which they amassed a grand total of twenty points after the belated entrance of Joe Maniaci and Tony Sarausky into the tray, and defeated a hard-fighting band of Mountaineers from West Virginia by a 27 20 score before 16.CC0 fans at the Polo Grounds. The entrance ot Sarausky and Maniaci into the game was as dramatic as their accomplishments. On the first play of the final stan;a. Tony plunged through tackle for twelve yards and a first down. He then faded back and heaved a bullet pass down the center alley which spiralled its way straight and true into the waiting arms of the living and uncovered Maniaci on the forty yard stripe. The Lodi lad then cut sharply and galloped the remaining distance to the goal line with nary an enemy hand touching him. This run tied the score at thirteen all The Page 242 lit elk. uprising l y the rejuvenated and rc-cnforccd Rams consumed exactly thirty-two seconds of playing time. The Maroon then kicked off. and after a series of unsuccessful downs forced the Mountaineers to punt the ball back to them on the forty yard line. And it took Sarausky exactly four power house thrusts at the big Wee Vce line to push the oval across the final stri|ie for another Fordham touchdown. Tony then olace kicked the extra point and the Rams led. 20-13. Again West Virginia received the kick-olf and attempted a counter attack. But the once again Rampant Rams had become instilled with a new spirit that wasn’t to be denied. The«injection of’ Sarausicy and Maniaci had served as a stimulant tint still pervaded the whole team. Two laterals were smeared and tlie Southerners were forced to punt, and Freddy Harlow was downed on the fifty yard line. On the first play Maniaci was sent through center, and rinding his way cleared by a host of Ram blockers, pranced to the two vard line where he was tackled out of bounds by Eck Allen. These three sc ares apparently pulled a lost game out of the hre But the gallant West Virginians were far from subdued. Coach Trusty Tillman sent a long, stringy lad by the name of Jack Gccke into the game, and he immediately Ix-gan hurling passes all over the field with abandon and not a little success. This belated aerial threat materialized in the Mountaineers’ third and last touchdown when Bill Zileski made a shoe-string catch of one of Cocke’s heaves in the end zone. (Jcckc also passed to Les Birna for the extra point. Led by John Thomas, their hard driving fullback and John Scott a fleet footed halfback. West Virginia came hack fast to even the count. With Thomas carrying the ball on three plays out of every four, and Scott serving as the variety in the offensive ma neuvers. the Mountaineers pushed across the tieing touchdown eight plays after the start of the second period. Fordluityi Id, Tennessee 12 Two brilliant plays by Captain Les Borden and Tony Sarausky coming with startling suddenness brought Fordham victory over the Tennessee Vols inal3 I2upsct. Ten nesses inability to tack on the extra point proved their undoing; and although they outplayed Fordham through most of the game the Vols were obliged to take the short end of the score. It was the veteran Tony Sarausky who saved the Rams from apparent defeat After the Maroon tab lied m the initial quarter Sarausky addeJ the extr.i point which finally spelled triumph. Major Bob Norland s eleven then came back with a 72 yard march in fifteen plays with Dickens crashing off tackle for the tally. Dick Dorsey's attempt from placement was wide and Fordham remained in the van. 7 6. Early in the third quarter the Volunteers forged into the lead when they capitalized on Fordham’s aerial weakness. Vaughan heaved a 35 yard pass to Palmer who was brought down on the Ram’s 7 yard stripe by Joe Dulkic. Two line plunges availed nothing so ag.tir. Tennessee took to the air. Vaughan faked the Maroon secondary into moving and then flipped a short diagonal pass to Pounders. The “Vol end was but a step from the goal and fell across as Warren Mulrey tackleJ him. But once more the Orange and White was unsuccessful m the try for that elusive seventh point. Puge 244 Both Fordham's touchdowns were unexpected In the first quarter the ground attack had seemingly stalled when the Rams broke the tee. Sarausky shot a spot forward to Leo Paquin. who in turn flicked a lateral to l.es Bor Jen as he raceJ around from right end and continued on for 25 yards to score. With Fordham trailing 12-7 in the last period, the outlook was gloomy. The Vois were holding the Crow ley men in check and the Rums could do nothing about it. Then Sarausky took the ball and started on an end sweep. The Tennessee players dosed in and suddenly Tony cut hack sharply. He was hit by a tackier, stumbled and shook himself loose; he evaded another and then stepped into the open with not an opponent nearby. Sarausky gallopeJ madly 60 yards with several Vois in hopeless pursuit. As the game waned rapidly Tennessee fought desperately to count but the Rams refused to wilt with victory ir. their grasp. In these closing moments Ted Nitka. Paquin and Meany were outstanding for the inspired Maroon men and they cost the Vois many yards as they raced in to break up play after play in the Tennessee back field. Fordham 0, Purdue 7 Fordham’s final stand against an intersect tonal invader from the West was unsuccessful. Although they were beaten by Noble Kizer's Purdue steamroller 7-0. the Rams gave grand exhibitions of goal line resistance at three times in the game that smothered and broke the powerful aJvances of the Boiler- makers and kept the score to a very respectable level One crushing 47 yard inarch which stormed down the field and reached its climax when slippery Jim Carter cut back off his right tackle ..nd raced seven yards across the Maroon line gave the Boilermakers victory. Thereafter tin- Kizermen were unable to add to their total though they continually had the Crowley forces deep in their own territory. The ruggeJ Maroon forward wall refused to yield and rose up hi 11 its might to turn back a trio of devastat-ingassaults. On the other hanJ Fordham ® offensive sallies were woefully weak. The Rims maJe hut three firs: downs and were well bottled by the Purdue line anJ secondaries. In all. Fordham gained 41 yards in ground play anJ because this department of their game was not working the Rams passing game lost its deception for it was constantly expected. With no success on the ground Fordham tried the air but a case of utters ruined any chances of scoring. Tony Sarausky JiJ some fine tossing but the Maroon receivers failed to hold the fleeting pigskin. Only three of these passes were calleJ complete. A pair were awarded to Fordham as complete because ot Purdue interference with the receiver. The forward lateral play was completed by the Rams for the third one. It was from these plays that all Ford-hnil's first downs came. Though the Rains had no luck in aerial attack they saw to it that Purdue Jidn't either. The Boilermakers with Duane Purvis doing the passing were not able to connect once from above. Outstanding for Fordham against such a superior Page 245 •be were Joe Dulkie and Tony Sarausky in the hick-•leld and Borden. Paquin and Nitka on the line Dulkie's support in hacking up the line was a sight to see and Sarausky s long range punting gave Purdue that much more ground to cover in their marches. The three ends were obliged to depart from their usual waiting game and crash into the backficld for the carrier before his interference could form. This was the only means to combat Purdue and Les Borden. Leo Paquin and Ted Nitka made a fine job of it Fordfnmi 39, He«•' Tor University 13 In a glittering offensive duel that was the spectators delight, Fordliam brought its second season under Jim Crowley to a conclusion by rolling over New York University, 3b 13 in the murk and rain on Thanksgiving Day at the Yankee Stadium. Ford ha m’s score was the highest ever recorded by either team tor their forty-five year old football rivalry. Older and more experienced in grid arts, more powerful and inured to tougher competition, the men of Fordliam scored almost at will on their neighborhood foes from the Bronx. However, the outsmarted Violet team gave its best performance of the season and struggled valiantly to advance its cause to the Hitter end. Following an early fumble which gave N. Y U. the first scoring opportunity of the game, hut which did not materialize in one. Fordham immediately started its touchdown parade. The Rams scored or.ee in the first period, twice in the second, once in the third anj twice in the fourth. They led 20 0 when the Violets tallied late in the first half, and 32 5 when Mai Steven's eleven pushed across another touchdown in the final stanta. After N. Y. U.'s opening threat had been halted early in the first period when Mike Hardy's try for a field goal went wide. Fordham scored on two plays from its own 20 yard line. A forward-lateral from Sarausky to Paquin to Borden clicked for 76 yards. On the next play Sarausky plunged over from the four yard line. The second pertoJ opened with the ball on the Violet 37 yard marker. On the seconJ play Sarausky faded hack anil heaved a diagonal pass into the waiting arms of Harlow, who ran over the line just a few yarJs away for Fordham's seconJ score. Sarausky converted the point on an end run. The Violet retaliated by marching the length of the held for their first score, on passes and runs featuring Nat Machlowit; and Stelmach. The highlight of this advance was a field-wide lateral from Stelmach to Marty Oarlsen, Violet guard. The play was good for 22 yards and put the ball on Fordham's 10 yard stripe. Two line bucks by Jack Begleman and Stelmach carried the ball over to score. In the final period, the Violets started a march of 73 yards to a touchdown. Bill EiscnFcrg's passing a:vJ running featured the advance. He completed four heaves en route, and made a dazzling run of 1 2 yards off Fordham's left tackle. His last piss to Fabrikar.t was good tor 13 yards and N. V U.'s final score. Hardy converted for the extra tally. This game was the swan song for many Maroon warriors. They leave, with the cheers of appreciative students and well-wishers Jinning in their ears. Farewell and Vale, to Tony Sarausky. Les Border., 'Captain). Bill Tatro, John Mcany. Joe Ludmowicz. Joe McArdle. Ted Nitka. Ralph Wdt’endalc. Fred Harlow. John Waldron, and hello to the new stalwarts of the Varsity. Carry on with (he courage and ability o’ the War men of '35. ! ( Varsity Baseball COACH COFFEY was again successful in producing an outstanding Maroon nine. The opening of the 1934 campaign found many of the Rams star players winding up their collegiate baseball careers. Ken Auer, the mainstay of the varsity pitching staff. Jerry Pepper. Fred Sager, Frank McDermott and Red Keenan played their last season as wearers of the Maroon they had served so well. The Maroon nine stood forth as one of the finest teams in the Eastern college circuit, with a record of ten victories and three defeats. These three setbacks were received early in the season and were overshadowed by the brilliant playing of the Ram team in the blazing finish of the 1934 schedule. Fordham swept a two game series with N. Y. U. and defeated City College. Army and Rutgers, while bowing to Boston College. Villanova and Brooklyn College. The most exciting game of the season was the first game with the Violet team from University Heights. Lefty Estwanick was the starting pitcher and he pitched a masterful, two-hit game until the ninth inning when he gave way to Tony Sarausky who pinched hit for Ed. Going into the last half of the final stanza, N. Y. U. led by the close score of 3 to 2. With Proctor on second base. Sarausky smashed a sizz lmg double to left held, enabling Proctor to cross the plate with the tying run. With Lashua and McDermott filling the bases by virtue of a pass and a walk. Babe Young sewed up the contest by driving a single over second, bringing Sarausky in with the winning run. Page 247 With Tommy Bristow, the midget Sophomore hurler. on the mound, the Lavender of City College was defeated in a closely fought tussle. Tom allowed the City players a mere three hits and Fordham triumphed by the score of 4 to 2. The Annual West Point trip found the Maroon nine facing the Kaydcts on the famous Plains. As usual, the Ram sluggers forced the future generals to retreat before a barrage of thirteen hits and nine runs. Jerry Pepper and Tony DePhillips were the big guns ot the attack, each garnering three baggers. Lefty Estwanick scor ed an easy 9 to S victory over the numerous Army hurlers. Rutgers was the next Ram victim. Behind the stalwart pitching ot Auer, former Morris star, the Scarlet nine could get but five hits and went down in defeat to the tune of 4 to 2. The second game with N. Y. IJ. proved to be the direct antithesis of the hard fought battle in the e «rly part of the season. Both teams laced the ball hard and often. Hapless Lefty Gottleib, Violet hurling ace, tried vainly tor a win over the Maroon after lour disastrous attempts and was shelled from the mound with a salvo of eleven runs and fourteen safeties. Ed Eswanick started for the Rose Hill nine but was removed in the sixth, when the Violet rampage began. Ken Auer took up the hurling task and stopped the N. Y. I'. rally. The final score was Fordham 19. N. Y. LJ. II. The fielding trio of Sarausky, Pepper and Ladroga was consistently brilliant in their hitting and throwing achievements. Young, McDermott, Lashua and Sherry were the spark plugs of the Maroon attack. Each laced the ball with the ease of veterans and fielded the ball with a minimum of errors. Page 248 The tall and short men or the Freddies divided the receiving honors between them. The irrepressible Harlow and the fiery Sager handled the Maroon hurlers efficiently. Topping the parade of victorious Rani pitchers, was Ed Estwamck. the unassuming Junior. Hard on his heels was the sensational Sophomore Tom Bristow whose hurling won him a starting berth with the varsity. He is one of the brightest prospects tor the 1935 campaign. Ken Auer said goodbye to competition as a Maroon player. Ken had an enviable record as a college pitcher. After winning the highest pitching honors in the East in his Sophomore year with a string of ten consecutive victories against no defeats, Ken was forced to limit his pitching during his Junior year due to an ailing shoulder. He returned to form as a Senior member of the Varsity and he leaves us with our fond wishes for his success in the M «pr Leagues The 1935 season found many new faces on the Varsity. True, Estwanick, Young, Lishua, Sherry, Ladroga, Proctor and Sarausky were veterans but many rookies came up from the Freshman ranks to try for places on the Maroon nine. The outstanding fledglings were Robinson. Palau and Birris. After losing many veterans from th: nine by graduation, Coach Coffey found these men invaluable. Each has already won his spurs as a Varsity player. Since the “Maroon will be published long before the 1935 season will he over, we feel that we ought to mention the games completed up to the time we go to press. In the opening game, the Rams butted the St. Peter's nine by the score of 17 3. In the sec ond game, in an exhibition with the Newark Bears of the International League the Ranis Page 249 tasted defeat to the tune of 16-2. In the third encounter, the Maroons swamped the St. John s Indians, 14-0. in a free hitting game George Robinson, Soph ace, made an auspicious debut by downing the Temple Owls, in the fourth allray. allowing but two hits. The final score read: Fordham 1, Temple 0. Ed Estwanick was deprived of a no' hit, no run game by a lucky Single from the bat of Barabas, Columbia center-fielder. Ed reached the heights when he set Columbia down, 7-0. while his mates hit three Lion hurlers hard and often. With such an auspicious start, we predict that Fordham will enjoy one of the best seasons in years of college competition. With such fine playersas Palau, Bristow, Robinson, DePhillips. Ladroga, Barris and Coyle rein lining to carry on as members of the Varsity, Coach Colley should produce another great Ram nine in 1936. To the members of the Varsity who finish their careers this year, Sarausky, Harlow. Ltshu i, Sherry. Estwanick, Lavin, Lenoci and Conway, we extend our fondest wishes for success in whatever line of endeavor they may enter. Page 250 Varsity Basketball HPHE OPENING OF THE 1934 1935 season saw an old Fordham alumnus: Vinnie Cavanagh, himself a star player about ten years back, taking over the coaching posv tion of the quintet. Captained by Tony De Phillips, one of the most spectacular and colorful courtsmen ever to appear on the floor of the Fordham gym, and under the capable and energetic management of Jim Fay. this team turned in a record of six victories and eight defeats. When we qualify these eight losses by the fact that five of them were last by no more than a single goal, the picture is considerably better. Fordham fought stirring battles against Yale, Columbia, City College. Purdue and N. Y. IJ. Vin Cavanagh made his debut as Ram court Coach on December 7 when lus Maroon forces turned in a 28 17 conquest over the Fordham Alumni Five. The game was little more than a workout for the big varsity squad. In all. Cavanagh used four complete quintets against the grads, and they went in as units at different intervals during the fray. The Fordham Rams annexed their second consecutive triumph of the season when they smeared the St. Peter's Coilege quintet in the Rose Hill gym by 37 2). St. Peter’s, coached by Pop Sweetman, Ram star of other years, failed to provide any degree of opposition. Their passing and floor play was ragged and their shooting was very inaccurate. With so little to worry about, the Maroon men were content to dawdle along and only infrequently would Tony De Phillips or Creighton Drury display any real flashes of form. Page 251 The Yale Bulldogs administered the first loss of their court schedule to Vin Cava' nagh's basketeers in a fast, hard fought battle that was decided in the last minute of play when the Ram rally did not quite make the grade and Yale hung on to the 23 22 margin of victory. It was a game of fast and furious floor play that saw both quintets playing top speed throughout. And strangely enough all this ty|ie of play did not produce much in the way of scoring. At the end of the opening half both teams walked off the hardwood with the score at 8 8. In a nip and tuck affair that lasted until the final ten seconds of play the Fordham Rams were forced to bow to their local rivals the Columbia Lions by a 30-29 score when Bill Nash, Light Blue guard, made capital of the free shot awarded him. Fordham opened with a smooth passing attack th. t worked with such success it appeared they would not experience any great difficulty in snatching the laurel. At two stages during the first half the Rams were in the van by eight points but then commenced to lose their grip. At the midway they held but a scant two point margin by 18 16 over the fast moving Columbians. The Seventy first Regiment Basketball Team visited the Rose Hill gymnasium in mid-January and received a 33-13 trouncing from the men of Cavanagh. It was a one' sided and consequently listless game, the sole redeeming feature being the sensational play of Creighton Drury. Although Vin Cavanagh s court men put on a spirited last period drive that enabled them to outscore the powerful Violet net men, it was not sufficient to erase the early lead piled up by the Cannmen and the Rams were tumbled to defeat, 36 24. On the short end of the count by 22 7 at half time the Rams played great ball in the second session to become the only team that outpointed Howard Ginn s wonderful lggregation in a second half since they inaugurated their 24-game winning streak. The N. Y. U. offensive was entirely too much for the Maroon to cope with, while the Violet defense was so effective that the Fordham quintet could seldom work in close. Fordham s first appearance of the court season at Madison Square Garden was clouded with a one sided defeat. The mighty Pitt Basketball Team was the fourth major foe in a row to down the luckless Rams by a 43 2 ) score. From the opening whistle it was apparent that the Maroon men were in lor a stormy session. Dr. Hal Carlson's forces were supei 101 to the Rams in every department of play. Coach Vin Cavanagh $ Fordham Quintet found their way back to the winning column at the expense of Seton Hall College of South Or.inge, N. J. with the decisive score of 32-15. The Ram attack w.is not only greatly improved but the defense was so well knit that Seton Hall could tally but three field goals in the course of the game. The highlight of the one sided affair was the flashy playing of Bob Remacher, diminutive Ram forward. With Tony De Phillips as running mate this pair registered 14 points sharing them equally. But it was Reinacher's all around brilliance that made him the hero of the contest. 1 le constantly harried enemy players on the defense and his passing and flooi work were of the very best. Page 252 Ford ham's lone basketball jaunt beyond the confines of the metropolitan area met . sharp reverse when the Rams travelled to Philadelphia and received a 38 24 drubbing from the speedy Temple five. The Oavanagh men, minus the services of Babe Young and Creighton Drury, presented little trouble to the Quaker City boys. The Philadelphians' fast passing attack was entirely too much for the Maroon and in one minute of play Temple tallied five points on field goals by Casper and Brown and a foul shot by Fox. Jim Brown, aggressive Owl guard, scored five goals in the first half and added another in the final period to top the scoring column. Led by their fighting Captain, Tony De Phillips, the Fordham quintet registered a stunning upset when they spilled the strong Orange team from Syracuse with a last period rally that brought them an uphill 27 24 win. W ith five defeats in nine starts and not a single victory over a major foe. the Rams were not accorded a chance against the powerful I 'pslaters who had bowed only to Penn' svlvania in eight previous encounters. Only inspired basketball enabled the Maroon men to come from behind and snatch victory almost at the final whistle after Tony De Phillips had knotted the game at 24 all. After Tony had netted the equilizer, Rute' Michel sank a follow up try and Fritzsche converted a free throw to give Fordh un the three point margin of triumph. The widely heralded Purdue Basketball Team, champions of the Big Ten. made their debut in New York an impressive one. when they registered a 4' 3d win over VinCava-nagh's hard fighting court men. The Boilermakers were all that they had been touted. A fast, smooth team that made all their shots count and was ever ready to seize the breaks. Though a seven point margin of victory is fairly decisive, it must be said tor ForJham that they far surpassed expectations and were anything but easy marks for the powerful Boilermakers. Led by Tony De Phillips the Rams stayed right with the men from Iiv diana in the first quartet and at one stage Fordham held a 13 10 lead. After a time out the Purdue five started moving in their championship style. A spirited drive in the closing minutes of the fray enabled the City College Beavers to overcome Fordham's 20-16 lead and go on to a close 23 22 triumph. The contest was so evenly waged that the outcome was in doubt until the final whistle had blown, and at that moment City was fighting the Rams desperately to preserve the win they had pulled out of the fire. Fordham's return engagement with the New York University at Madison Square Garden provided the most sensational game witnessed on the big arena's rloor this year-The Violets were victorious 31 -20 but victory only came in the very last second of play after a remarkable Ram rally had knotted the count at 20 ill, when Andy Palau stepped to the foul line and sank a pair ol free throws. The deadlock was short lived however, when Len Maidman pulled out of a pivot to net a beautiful shot over his shoulder Steadily Fordham crept up on the amazed Gann men and the crowd set up a terrific din as Fordham tied the count. It seemed almost impossible that the lowly Rams could upset the Violets. When Dan O'Connor broke away to an unguarded basket he was shoved into the steel upright as he was about to shoot. He injured his arm in the fall but N. Y. 11, refused to grant him a sub and he missed his game attempt on the free throw. Page 253 Immediately after this the Violets got the hall near Fordham's basket and Kelin passed to Maidman who came through with the winning toss which enabled them to re-tain the Metropolitan Title. In their final game of the season Vin Cavanagh's men were the victors. They downed their City rivals, the Manhattan Jaspers, by a 33 27 score in the preliminary to N Y. ICity College meeting at Madison Square Garden. The Jaspers made very few threatening gestures, and when they JiJ they were too late to endanger the Fordham margin. Outstanding for the Kelly Green men in defeat, were Evi Flanagan who was their high scorer with 8 points and Jack McGmrk with his usual stellar performance on the defense. And so we bid farewell to those Seniors who have played their last game for Ford-ham, to Rufus Michel, Norm Waterman, Jim Fogarty, John Kane and Manager Jim Fay. Page 2U Varsity Track rT 'HF SEASON OF 1934 1935 found Fordham realising a long sought amibition—that of gaining numerous places in the indoor meets conducted under the auspices of such organizations as the K. of C.. the Millrose A. C., New York A. C., and the I. C. 4 A Led by their talented co-captains, Jim Gallico and Charlie Dcubel, the wearers of the Maroon were seen thundering down the home stretch as winners time and time again. 1935 marks the end of the sensational careers of Galhco and Deubel, which were studded with remarkable performances. Ever since the spring of 1932, when they led a strong Freshman team to victory over N. Y. U. and C. C. N. Y., they have been the mainstays of Fordham on the cinder paths. Art Jannell, the flashy sprinter, Jerry Callijone, the midget middle distance ace. Artie Starrs, Mike Rafferty, Bob Dunseath and Frank Nolan helped to keep Fordham at the head of the sprinting parade. We must take notice ot two Seniors who, through injuries, were forced to hang up their spikes in their last year of competition. To Don Shannon and Jack Fischer, we say thanks” for their splendid support. In order to find out who made these victories possible, we look beyond the actual races to the daily practices at the Gym. There. Jake Weber, the veteran coach, could be seen whipping the tracksters into shape. Under his capable guidance, Fordham has attained a high position in Mercury's kingdom. Well done, Jake! To Jake's cohort and helper, A1 Materazzi, Manager of the Track Team, we award the palm for the efficient manner in which he guided the destinies of the Ram runners. I lis four years' associ ition with the team was repaid with many fruitful seasons for the Maroon. Page 255 Varsity Tennis Team LTHOUGH they were unable to come through the season with their record uiv x marred by defeat, nevertheless the Maroon net men displayed a brand of playing that delighted the gallery. Weakened by the loss of their ace, Ramey Donovan, the team went into competition with only five veterans to bear the burden of the singles’ matches. Manager Bob Dobson unearthed a star in R iv Walsh who captured the tennis tourney sponsored by the Intramural Athletic Association. Fordham had as its standard bearers in the Metropolitan Championship matches such tried veterans as Captain Fred Magenheimer. Manager Bob Dobson, Bill Gahalan, Mike Rarsa, Jim McCrystal and Ed Presendofer. The Ram racqueteers met City Col lege. New York I Diversity, Columbia and St John’s and enjoyed a modicum of success. The valiants of the team who went down in defeat in these individual matches displayed a brand of tennis worthy of notice on the part of Davis Cup scouts. Manager Dobson and Captain Magenheimer are to be commended for the capable manner in which they directed the fortunes of the court men. They worked untiringly to bring a majority of successes to the Maroon but they could not turn aside the tide of fortune which brought defeats oi their own individual efforts. Page 256 The Rifle Team VJL 7TLLIAM TELL had nothing on our ''Dead-Eye Dicks” when it comes to accuracy v in shooting. We feel that even with cross bows they could give a good account of their ability as target destroyers. Few people know of the care and patience that must be exercised in shooting, whether the weapon be small arms or the 30-30 rule. Correct posture, proper breathing, accurate alignment of sights and adjustment of the sling all play an important part in the success or failure of a gunner. Sergeant Smith coached the team efficiently in all these essentials for firing. He is to be commended for his fine teach-ing and the many successes of the Rifle Team. With Dan Curnan and Maurice Cox leading the parade as consistent high scorers, the Maroon Rilles enjoyed a rather successful campaign. They lost by close scores to such representative teams as the Mount Vernon Rifle and Revolver Team and Brooklyn Polytech. These defeats were far from crushing and there was little to choose between the expert shooting of both sides. The team triumphed over Madison Square nimrods and overwhelmed the 212 C. A. C. to make-up for the two defeats incurred. Dan Curnan deserves much praise for his untiring efforts and accurate shooting, while Maurice Cox also rates a gold star for his expert handling of the rifle. Gus Chia-rello, Augie Boyajian, and Hollwedel arc to be commended for the support they gave in rounding out a successful season. Page 257 Varsity Golf Team U NDfcK the capable guidance of playing Manager Tony Bahiak, the Maroon niblick fanciers enjoyed a very successful season. The early April days found the golfers practicing on the fairways of the Siwanoy Country Club at Tuckahoe in fair Westchester County. The team approached the calibre of a Saracen and a Jones because of their expert playing against such well-balanced teams as Lafayette. Amherst. N. Y. U., West Point. Temple. New Jersey Teachers and Haverford College. Despite the fact that Barney Lanagan, ?4, the Metropolitan and State Junior Ama teur titleholder, was graduated, the loss of this veteran was not felt so deeply due to the fact that Augie Boyajian, also a Met titleholder, came up from the Frosh team to win a place on the Varsity. Vinny Fisher. Bob White, Wally Gardner, Vic Del Guercio, Bill Walker, Jack Corcoran and Bill O'Hara, in company with Manager Bahiak, contributed nobly to the Ram victories. The team will lose such valuable players as White, Fisher and Bahiak through gradu at ion and it is the hope of all that the younger men will carry on with the same line spirit of fair play and sportsmanship in competitive matches.
