History of the Class of 1935 ROGER T. LENNON..............................................President CHARLES C. DEUBEL.......................................Vice-President VINCENT J. SHARKEY.......................................... Secretary CHARLES E. ROSEN........................................ . . Treasurer 'VT'OU are the members of the Class of 1935. the largest class in Fordham's history.” The time—September, 1931. 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.

“
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
