Deane, S.J., Moderator 33 3 B O o 11 of ig38 PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS JPordham College FORDHAM UNIVERSITY, NEW YORK 13 !■ ' O A 1 I Z-, D a d i c h; ? i o f) 1R ordham has advanced through nearly a century of Jesuit train' ing to a foremost place in the educational and cultural life of the nation. It was made possible by great men of true vision and achievement. But there are. as there have always been, a particular few who are great in a different sense. To them the foundation of successful teaching is the establishment of a personal relation between professor and student and the binding of lifelong ties between the man and his College. One of these lew is the Rev. Theodore T. Farley, S.J., to whom the class of ’38 dedicates its own Maroon. For a decade now, Fordham men have come under his influence. And it may truly be said that once having done so they have never cast aside that influence. For through him, the students of the past and present are united in common interests and common ideals. Symbolizing, as he docs, everything the Senior Class has found best in its career at Fordham, he has made the graduate substantially readier to face the worries with courage and high hopes. f o t e JVhe day is near to hand when I shall say Farewell to Fordham of my student years. And I have planned tor then a pilgrimage, Not to he entered on without its tears. I will he grateful for a warm June day Approaching twilight, best of summer's lot. And as 1 walk along, although my step Will he of steady pace, my heart will not. ♦ On Keating's terrace I will stand and stare Up at its mullioned windows and gray stone, And think me of the youth so sagely taught First principles ordained for men alone. Then moving westward with the dimming sun 1 11 look toward Freeman from across the Quad That houses Physics, and at right the Gym, Beloved of him who eyes a college squad. ♦ To central from east campus 1 will turn, Glimpsing the low black bulk of distant Chem, And peering up at Dealy's Freshman halls Will start the ghost of one who walked in them. (c o n d Loyola's many panes will brightly glint The ruddy rays of western dying flame As I cross through Administration’s hall. Most ancient building under Fordham's name. ♦ I'll wander on a tree-lined path until I circle Collins' classic Grecian front. That bred a Sophomore through trying days With laws he thought unnecessarily blunt. The graceful stone-faced steeple ol the Church, With lantern dome, now rises to my view, And 1 will pause at century-old St. John's Whose sanctum knit me firmest friends, though few. ♦ Then I will gaze across the elm-lined sea Ol lawn, where twinkling lights mark out Duane, Book-lovers' haunt, and I arkin further on Where science men learn life, its cause and pain. And near the gate I'll glimpse the last dim ray Where Keating's tower looks to the western sky. Strike golden minutes from the web-faced clock As I pass on and say my last good-bye. ROBERT E. DOERR q o o $ e d Views administration Seniors Underclasses Organizations publications ♦ athletics V I t£[ Jg The Pillbox has had a varied history. It was the first building erected after the founding of the College and housed the students of the Seminary while St. John's Hall was building. Liter it became the residence of the Jesuit priest who served as parish priest. Since then it has been the office of the Fordham Monthly and has now descended to being a storeroom. TCht administration Building ( INCE Fordham's history began the Administration Building has been the centre of campus activity. It was built shortly before Archbishop Hughes acquired the property, as the Manor House to take the place of the old Manor House which was built late in the seventeenth century and a picture of which forms the frontis piece. During its history as a part of Fordham it has undergone many changes and the successive alterations have shorn it or much oi its size, but though it is no longer the majestic building it once was, it is still the heart of Ford' ham and in every Ford' ham man's heart. 7 13 S The Administration Building in 1864 PATH TO COLLINS AUDITORIIJ M TpHE approach to Collins Auditorium, like the paths and lanes of all the campus, owes its beauty and its charm to the work of Father Bertolero, S.J., whose crowning achieve-ment it was to add lustre to the already beautiful campus which Fordham possessed. Collins Auditorium beside being the home of the Mimes and Mummers also holds the classrooms of the Sophomore year. ST. JOHN’S HALL Ju,KE most of the buildings on the Fordham campus St. John's Hall has had a varied existence. In its time it has served as the home ol St. Joseph’s Seminary, as a classroom building for the preparatory school, and now is the dormitory building for the Seniors and Juniors. In the basement are the offices of the Fordham Mov.thlv and the Ram. THE GATE HOUSE HE Gate House has gone from the Fordham campus. It stood at the Fordham Road entrance to the grounds hut when the level of Fordham Road was raised to its present height, the Gate House was torn down and the material used for the Bookstore. ! THE UNIVERSITY CHAPE L HHHE chapel was built in 184445 at the same time that St. John’s Hall was erected. When it was built it served as the church of the Semi' nary and as the parish church of the surrounding territory. It was only in 1889 that the parish of Our Lady of Mercy built a church off the grounds. Then it was that it became merely the University chapel. Some ten years ago the chapel was ex tended back and two transepts were added. PRAYER AT PARTING How at last behind W r leave Iliese cloistered halls. This granite Fordham, Brooding on her sleepy lull. Ho more for us shall bloom The stately elms o'er her wallas. Ho more in spring shall we. With quickened eye, Entranced watch the wy clothe her walls Or out in bleak Hovember's solemn death. Breathe in the heady uitie Of burning leaves upon the campus lawn. For us The long harsh road and open spaces. One must ual!( alone, alone: Fight the wind und tread the stone lake half bewildered manners. We enture from the harbor of thy breast: And we have left with thee The precious goods of Youth that none may buy. In years to be. Thy memory will seem As perfect and remote as distant stars. That softly cast their radiance o'er the sea. CHARLES R. BYRNE Administration ir r« THROUGHOUT the years the Administration Building has been the centre of Fordham life and despite all the changes that have come to it, it is still the heart of Fordham.

Junior and Senior FINAL SONNET The placid days flowed by serenely here. Where Learning's lamp has never ceased to flame; Ami o er the rolling hill the stricken year Was quic forgotten as each new one came. For it has seemed so very short a time Since first we set our feet upon these grounds. Ami yet was bom. in winter's snowy prime. The final year to cry us on our rotouis. So nou we stand upon the threshold stone. Half eager, yet reluctant half to part From memories and scenes that long have grown Their roots into the recess of each heart A little while we pause to bid farewell, Locl{ hands once more . . . and toll the final bell. CHARLES R. BYRNE Seniors T. John's Hall is now the home ot those Seniors who live at Fordham but it once was known as Third Division and housed the smallest boys who attended Fordham.

Byrnp 204 CFnteclasses THROUGHOUT the years of Ford' ham's history the underclasses ot the college have been lodged in many buildings. Today it is Collins and Dealy which are peculiarly their own. CLASS OF 1939 IN mid'September of last year the last class of the nineteenth century's third decade began its Junior year at Fordham. Officers of the class were President Robert Hassmiller, Vice-President John Keavey, Secretary Thomas Madden and Treasurer George Gallico. ’39 contributed more than its share to Fordham extracurricular activity this year with rcprcscnta tion in all major activities. In the field of sports, football, basketball and baseball offered Juniors among their outstanding players. National attention was focused on the deeds of Harry Jacunski, Mike Kochel, Joe Granski, and Jim Hayes on the gridiron, the first named pair having been selected to co-captain the 1939 eleven. The Cavanaugh five turned in an average court season with captain elect Bob Hassmiller acting as the backbone of attack and defense. Baseball found Hassmiller securing a regular berth in the outfield, with Meade Coyle covering shortstop and Ed McCoy shouldering part of the pitching burden. The announcement that the Mimesand Mummers would present Yellowjack” as its annual winter offering brought out a large number of third year men for the tryouts. Among the successful appli' cants were James J. Lyons, Hermes A. Secondari, Chester Glassen, Chester Evans, Donald Wilson, William Gciler and Timothy Sullivan. The Mimes production of the annual one act plays found Juniors once more in the limelight as George Galileo's “The Great O Hearn” was declared the winning effort. William L. Doty received the second price for acting. The Ram newsboard from which next year's executive positions will be filled include Edward J. Goett, James J. Lyons, John M. Keavey, Gerard V. Cosgrove and George D. Lewis. Reference Manager Donald Kearney, Circulation Manager John O'Connor, reporter Martin F. Sullivan and sportsmen Thomas McLaughlin, William Mulligan and Gabriel Cuculo complete the list of Juniors on the staff of the college weekly. The Fordham Monthly featured the offerings of Joseph V. Dolan, John Donohue and John Hayes, the first essayist, the second specializing in short stories and the last a poet. The Fordham Glee Club called upon a large group of Juniors to sing their way through a series of concerts that extended to many of the colleges in the metropolitan district and claimed as its highlights the annual Town Hall concert and the Philadelphia appearance with Jessica 208 Dragonette. The University Band, with thirtyniners active on the managing and playing end com-pleted one of the most successful seasons in its history, sharing Polo Ground honors during the foot' ball campaign, with outstanding musical units from every section of the country. Both the Glee Club and the Band were active in the formation and broadcast of the Pontiac Hour, heard over a nationwide hookup. Arthur Dooley '39 won the post of student announcer after a series of trials lasting for more than two weeks. The Council of Debate displayed a record of intercollegiate meetings that drew on the services of several Junior orators. William L. Doty. John M. Kcavcy, John J. Gallagher, William J. Hogan, Joseph P. Kelly and Joseph E. Flynn all saw service in the intercollegiate wars. The same men were members of the Council Lecture Bureau, the organization th.it turned in more than eighty appearances at Communion breakfasts. Holy Name Society meetings, and school and parish functions. The Bureau covered most of the currently interesting problems, treating Communism, Fascism, bicameral legislation, the press, social justice and several other timely topics. With the coming of the annual oratorical contest several Juniors signified their intention to conv pete. Those who survived the eliminations were George J. Morio, Harrison S. Downs, Hermes A. Secondari and James J. Lyons. Harrison S. Downs was declared the victor by a panel ot three judges and will be presented with the alumni oratorical medal. Now, with the graduation of '38, '39 dons the familiar three-quarter gown and prepares to leave Philosophy Professors Father John Colligan, S.J., Father Theodore Farley, S.J.. Father Jchn Conilf, S.J., Father Harold Mulqueen, S.J., Father Gelen Walsh, S.J., Father Joseph Walsh, S.J. and Father David Cronin. S.J. 209 CLASS OF 1940 THE Class of 40 began the 1937-3S scholastic year with the vigor that usually attends the antics of those barely within the gates. Under what is generally referred to as the careful guidance oi the class officers, Richard Breen, President; John Holian, Vice-President; Henry Smith, Secretary and John Rothengast. Treasurer, the Freshman introductory rites were conducted. Roger Gilmartin, chairman, and Peter Carlesimo were the well received heads of the much feared “V” men. The Fordham varsity football team, one of the nation's better representatives in the pigskin panorama, was peopled to a large extent by second year men. Dominic Principe, Stephen Kazlo, Raymond Reddick, Harry Zarik, William Krywicki and Angelo Fortunato were the muscular influences. William Ward, James Barnett, Gerard Carber, Harry Schnibbc, Richard Breen. Janies Barnwell, Joseph Kroppy and James Brady were the Sophomore highlights on the writing staff of the Rayn. student newspaper. The literary giants of the '40 Class, Thomas Reynolds, Gilbert Hennessey. Michael O'Leary and John Me Elroy from time to time contributed their efforts to the Fordham Monthly. Victor Cichanowicz, Howard Weil and Daniel McGillicuddy were the spearheads of a basketball varsity that titFed now and then with the athletic fates. The Varsity Play saw- in conspicuous spots, Harry Schnibbc, George Langley, Richard Breen. Thomas Reynolds and Gerard Carney. The eminently successful varsity tennis squad had the services of Freshman tennis graduates. Victor DeRiso, Roger Gilmartin, Gerald Johnson and Casper Palagonia, the outstanding second year net foursome in the country. Undefeated in eighteen months of combined Freshman-Sophomore verbal jousting, the Hughes Debating Society finished the season with a spotless record. Richard Breen, Thomas Reynolds, Joseph Heffernan and Donald Menagh wrere the first string speakers. John Holian, Joseph Fay, Wesley Wallace and Frank Fioelich carried the spoken Maroon in other encounters. Henry Smith and James Barnett were the aquatic stars of the varsity swimming team. For the first time in history a Sophomore became the vocalist for the Glee Club. Victor DeR-.so, whose 210 solo appearances became a legend in the Glee Club tours, broke the second year musical ice. Arthur Conaty and George Grady kept the name of the second year class conspicuous on the golf links. Richard Breen was the Sophomore representative in the Varsity Oratorical Contest. William Krywicki, John Dillon, Daniel McGillicuddy, Henry Borowy and Dominic Principe were instrumental in bringing about the excellent showing of the varsity baseball team. James Troop, a second year man, was the pitching sensation of the year. Joseph Fay, Wesley Wallace and James Fitzgerald dominated the middle distances in metropolitan track circles. Fay and Wallace, in mid-season form broke world records in their respective races. Two Sophomore authors Frank Quinn and Richard Breen had one-act play entries in the varsity and metropolitan play competition. Breen received the outstanding actor's award in the varsity contest. Thomas Reynolds. Harry Schnibbe and John Emerich were active participants in play competition. James McGrath, Alfred Perrone and James Courneen bore the brunt of honor in the foreign language activities. James Farrell and John Emerich were conspicuous sodalists. The Pontiac Variety Show saw the Sophomores dominating the entertainment program. Victor DeRiso, George Langley. Richard Breen and George McManus offered varied talents. And the Class of 1940 prepared to begin the 1938-39 scholastic year with the nonchalance that usually attends the antics of those well within the gates. 211 CLASS OF 1941 £. yLPTEMBER 13, the first d.iy the Freshmen of '41 assembled as a body. Father Hughes, our C. y dean, welcomed us pleasantly as the “Centennial Class.” When, in our Freshman ignorance, we asked our worldly-wise Sophomore brothers what centennial meant, we were informed that we were graduating in the year when Fordham University would celebrate the hundredth anniversary of her founding. As the Centennial Class, much was to be expected of us. The first obstacle to be overcome was the Vigilance Committee, whose function it was to keep the maroon capped-and-ticd Freshmen from taking their matriculation at Fordham too much for granted. After weary hours and perilous escapes 111 the process of initiation we passed our first week at Fordham, ironically known as “Freshman Week. The next point on our course was the invitation extended to the Freshmen by the various campus activities to take up an active participation in some form of extracurricular endeavor. Of primary interest to the men of 41 was the reorganization of the Freshman Sodality under Father Thomas Moore. S J., early in October. For the first time in its history the Freshman Forum attracted so many potential Daniel Websters that two sections of the debating society had to be provided, one under Father Coniff. S.J., and the other with Father O'Connor, S.J. as its moderator. Jerry Jones and Bill Schieffer were chosen as presidents of the two organizations. When the call for football candidates was posted, John Kuzman, Louis DePhillippo. James Kelly, and George Tourjie proved outstanding material. In the intramural tennis tournament AI Groh vanquished all upper-classmen to win the trophy while Bob Spenrath added to the Seniors' discomfiture by becoming runner-up. The annual Retreat, given by Father J. Harding Fisher. S.J., for four days turned the thoughts of the Freshmen from sports and studies to prayer. On November 20, the Freshman Introductory Dinner, the most important event of the year in Freshman eyes, was held at the Hotel Roosevelt. F.d McNulty was elected President of 41, Vin Cahill, Vice-President, and Bill Schieffer and Vin Brennan, Secretary and Treasurer respectively. At this time Frank Ford became outstanding as the only Freshman to capture a prize offered by the Monthly for worthwhile contributions from the men of 41 and subsequently was accepted by the editors for a position on the staff. The Freshman class was represented in the annual Varsity Play, “Yellow Jack, by John Dugan and J. Kenneth Campbell, who gave capable performances on Collins' stage. During the winter. Fathers La Farge and Le Ruffe, well-known eJitors of America were up to Fordham to address the Freshman soda lists and after the turbulent mid-term exam period announcement was made that Ed McNulty. Vin Carherry, A1 Hannon and Dick Grace had been chosen for the Ram stall. February found the Freshman Forum going strong with John Dugan and Vin Brennan engaging the N. Y. U. first-year men on the negative side of the N. L. R. B. question. With the beginning of the new’ semester two new Freshman activities were organized, the Play Work-Shop and the Virgil Academy. Mr. Liegey guided the Freshman Barrymores and Eugene O'Neils, resulting in the staging of plays by Louis De Nigris. John Brooks, and Erasmo Carcra. The Academy has also proved to he very popular with the men of 41 and its crowning point will be an Actus Virgilianus to be attended by a number cf well-known classical scholars. Prominent among the Scriveners have been John Loonam and Ken Campbell. The Freshman short-story club also contributed largely to the bulk of material by the Class of 41 in the April issue of the Monthly which was devoted principally to Freshman contributions. The acme of the year from the Freshman point of view was Freshman Parents' Day on May 1. consisting of an address of welcome to the guests by Father Gannon, S.J., an inspection of buildings and grounds, band concert, supper-luncheon in Keating Hall and the Freshman One-Act Play Contest in the evening. With the conclusion of this exercise. Freshman year drew ro a close and the men of '41 look forward to the more exalted position of Sophomore. 213 WILL YOU REMEMBER? Oh say, inII you remember These perished college days; Our strong young twees swelling, In Alma Mater’s praise; And football games ue cheered at. Through Autumn's russet haze7 Will you. some far tomorrow. When years have piled on years. Remember all the old times Remember all the tears; And dreams tint! eased the heartache Of Youth's wild hopes and fears? May songs be ever poignant That non our pulses start. May friendship still be vivid When dreams themselves depart; And may the name of Fordham Shine ever in each heart. CHARLES R.

First Prefect Second Prefect Third Prefect Secretary Prefect . Moderator 7T S the oldest organisation on the campus, the Parthenian Sodality, composed solely of resident li. students enjoys a position of eminence and rightfully so. For in the Helds of liturgy and Catholic Action it has always aided in furthering the ideals of Fordham. The most important activities sponsored by the Sodality within its own membership are the catechetical works and the symposia. The resident students sacrifice much of their time instructing the less privileged children of the city, receiving in return the rich spiritual and personal reward granted them by God. Each spring the Sodality sponsors the traditional ceremonies for the Blessed Virgin in the Quadrangle. Here the soda lists gather to sing the praises of Our Lady and meditate on her number less virtues. Beside these spiritual activities, the Sodality further enjoys many social activities. They have furnished many pleasant memories and have formed lifelong friendships among the socialists. The past year saw the Sodality make rapid strides. Under a group of ambitious and willing officers, the membership increased until it had surpassed all previous records. It is our cherished hope that future classes will realize the patent force of the Sodality in spiritual matters and will continue its devotion and further its ideals. 219 i a « o o n IMMACULATE CONCEPTION SODALITY Rev.

Carolin 38 Fourth Prefect FEW of us realize how truly Catholic are our companions until we see them at work in the vineyard of Christ, laboring to nourish and support the plant He has created. It was with no small thrill that we received the ready responses of our sodalists to teach Catechism in some of our poorest neighborhoods tc. spend tree evenings at the Casita Maria—working under the most trying and adverse conditions to bring knowledge of Christ to the neglected Porto Rican boys. Nor was it with small pride that we saw our companions venture forth and deliver lectures on the topics of their faith before school groups and Newman clubs. These men are the apostles of today, loyally taking part in the Catholic Action that is their duty as Soda list soldiers of Christ. The symposium of the Spanish situation served further to prove the mettle of our sodalists who supported and aided it unselfishly. Our thanks go out to our friends of the Sodality who kept interest alive m our weekly meetings by their timely and enlightening talks. And finally, we acknowledge our sincere appreciation for the untiring work of our Moderator, Father Ryan, S.J., who by his assistance and understanding kept the SoJalist apostle active in the vineyard of Catholic Action. 220 P O n I 'J 5 $ HOLY ROSARY SODALITY 1937 38 Rev.

The Holy Rosary Sodality is the continuance of the Freshman Sodality and its fine work. A period of one hour per week is devoted exclusively to Catholic thought. For this end there are three groups mutually cooperative. The Research group into international socialism, the Communistic tenets, under the capable guidance of the Prefect. John Emerick:the Press Correction Section, ably directed by William Ward, interested in the cause of Church History; and a section devoted to interesting and illuminating talks, in group, in the Sodality’s devotion. Every meeting there is a serious discussion on some vital topic, representing a furtherance of Catholic thought. The Action is capably directed by the catechetical group. The members who sacrifice some cf their leisure time under the devotional guidance of their Moderator Rev. J. E. Nolan, S.J., are the typical catholic youths who will be leaders of the future Catholic Action. The moderator has only lavish praise for the members of the Class of 1940; and their interest in Catholic Action is a source of inspiration to the members of the future classes. 221 jw 3 a o o n SODALITY OF MEDIATRIX OF ALL GRACES Rev. Thomas H. Moore, S.J. John Gentakks 41 Frank Ford 41 John Loon am 41 Moderator Prefect Assistant Prefect Assistant Prefect QATHOLIC Action in action has been the aim of the Blessed Virgin Sodality. Devoting one hour a week to a general meeting of the sodalists has been a source of much effort and edification to the Freshman members of the College. In the strictly spiritual vein the sodalists devote ten to fifteen minutes of e ich meeting to “mental prayer. Besides this the Sodality has had a full year of organized discussion. Starting with the initial meeting address by Fr. Francis X. Talbot, S.J., Editor of “America there have been a learned and interesting group of speakers at every meeting, including Rev. John La Farge, S.J., Associate Editor of “America, and Fr. Francis P. Le BufFe, S.J., Regional Director of the Sodality. The discussions were on two vital topics “The Civil War in Spain for the first semester, and “A Catholic Program of Social Justice for the second. The members of the Class of 41 have been an energetic catechetical group which did some excellent work in the distressed parishes of our greater city. These members voluntarily gave up much of their spare time to teach Catechism and Catholic Action to the unfortunate sections of the city. Truly the Class of 1941 through its Sodality of the Blessed Virgin has exemplified the work of Catholic Action. 222 p o n r 5 5 s jgh ST. JOHN BERCHMAN’S SODALITY Mr. Edward N. May. S.J. Richard L.

The highest mark of interest since its foundation was attained when a group of nearly fifty from all classes assembled throughout the scholastic year. The purpose of the Sodality is net merely to secure perfunctory faithfulness -n assisting at Mass, hut to instill in its members a true appreciation of the value of the Holy Sacrifice The society well succeeded as evidenced by the fervor and fidelity of its members. The membership of this society is known to the student body for itsassist-ance at such solemn religious functions as the Mass of the Holy Ghost and the annual Sodality Reception,but its prime purpose is the daily serving of M iss, a practice rigidly adhered to by every member. Another of the Sodality's functions was the instruction of students in the manner of saying Mass and ether ceremonies of the Church. At the meetings instructions were given on the significance of the Mass and Church Symbolism. The success of the organization is due to both the Moderator under whose guiding hand the sodality made such remarkable progress and to Brother John Quinn, S.J., who has been ever ready to oifer his assistance. 223 -t§- M h B o o n , SW ST.

Flaherty 39 Treasurer John Sheehan 39 Librarian THAT the Saint Vincent Je Paul Society had i truly successful year can well be imagined. For there is only one Jay in the entire school year that the college as a whole realizes the existence of the St. Vincent de Paul Society: that is the day before the Christmas holidays start, for it is then that these slim white envelopes make their rounds gently but urgently asking assistance for those whose lot is not so fortunate. Not that this is the only activity of the conference by any means. Each and every Sunday the members have distributed Catholic literature and religious articles to cur unfortunate brethren confined to the various hospitals . . . Many times during the year the Society has helped the needy who have w dked the streets seeking aid from the cruel world. The Conference has clotheJ. fed and provided for many a poor soul that had sought the security of our campus in their last desperate attempt. Under the guidance of our newly appointed Moderator, Rev. Aloysius R. Mack. S.J.. the Society, which is so noticeably composed of the higher type of resident students is to be commended for the enthusiasm they have shown in carrying on this charitable work. 224 FOB I 5 5 $ THE HARVESTER CLUB Reverend David C.

This it accomplishes by the spiritual aid of its prayers, and by the financial aid afforded the foreign missions by the proceeds of the Club's various social activities. The Harvester Club of the 1937-38 year performed its work well, sustaining zeal for its self-appointed task throughout the year. Almost as soon as the Club first convened, in late September, plans for its annual dance were formulated. Joseph P. Purcell 38 was elected to the Chairmanship, and under his guiding hand, the first campus dance of the year, held early in November, proved a financial and social success. During this same month. Reverend David C. Cronin succeeded Reverend James A. Cahill as Moderator, when the latter became Regent of the Law Sc hoc 1. Under the new Moderator, enthusiasm continued and the society inaugurated new methods of obtaining aid for Christ's Harvesters. A drive for old magazines and books, to be sent to the missions, was initiated early in January. At the same time a series of raffles was undertaken. These plans eventuated in considerable financial assistance for those who labor in fields afar. Holding its annual banquet in May. the Harvester Club culminated a year of activities which were in accord with the highest traditions of the fine mission spirit of Fordham. 225 fi n a o o n MIMES AND MUMMERS Rev.

Coveney 38 Board of Directors Gabriel M. Gutco 38 Robfrt E. Doerr '38 Wii.i iam de R. Taafff'38 Daniel J. Herr 38 THE Mimes and Mummers veered hut little from their accustomed path. As is the tradition, the major interests were the Varsity Play and the One-Act Play Contest, both of which were under the direction ot Father William Storck, S.J. An interesting event was the appearance of Robert Spcaight, a promising young English actor who portrayed Saint Thomas Becket in T. S. Eliot s Murder In the Cathedra! both here and abroad. After a lapse of several years the Freshman Play' shop was revived and much promise is held for its future. Plans were broached for making the Mimes more than a mere producing agency, hut thus far these are only plans. Our duty is to write not or the future but of the past. Sa to the past. Sidney Howard s Yellow Jack' was chosen for the annual production which took place December ninth and tenth at the Fordham University Theatre. The production scored a triumph in the quality of the acting and did something less than that because ot technical deficiencies. The play required m a technical way what the Mimes did not possess. The necessitated change in the mode of production destroyed the whole tempo of the play and what should have been a Modern Fliia-bethan production turned ou‘. to l e a Modern Victorian one. Chester Glassen, Donald Wilson, and William Mattison were outstanding in a cast which, all things considered, was unusually competent. Mr Glassen took a small and commonplace role, that of the Cuban, Agramonte, and by subtle and delicate touches created a character which was the most natural and distinctive in the play. As the lovable O'Hara, Mr. Wilson was humorous, nohle and poetic. In Walter Reed, Mr. Mattison found a part which suited him perfectly and he did well with it. FOB I 9 5 8 fife- The Great O'Hern” by George Gallico was Sven rirst prize by the judges of the Varsity ne-Act Play Contest. “Workers Unite” from the pen of Gabriel Greco (the favorite playwright ot the Seniors! received second prize. Honors for acting went to Richard Breen and William Dcty in order named. Mr. Gallicos play hoasteJ a rather thin plot and his underwriting did nothing to dispel the vagueness which was characteristic of the whole allair, but, as we have said before, the judges '.iked it. Mr. Fremd and Mr. Reynolds turned in performances such as we have come to expect from them. Mr. Glasscn also participated. Mr. Doty was the winner of the second prize. Flames by Francis Quinn was melodrama with a vengeance. Mr. Sutter in the ditficuli leading role almost made the play believable. Charles F. Murphy and Mr. McManus completed the cast. Mr. Greco's Workers Unite turned out to he a farcical burlesque on communism, so farcical, in face, that most of its effort was lost. With much chest and desk thumping Mr. Greco played the part of the Communist editor. William Mullm and Joseph Stuckart aided and abetted. A novel plot, an original background, fine characterization and poetic dialogue were the virtues of “The Rain Has Eyes by Mr. Breen. As Jeh, the author-actor showed that he could act as well as write, which considering the merit of the play is a compliment of the firs: rank. Mr. Lyons, Mr. Mattison and John Emerich played the other three roles with some success. Like every ether organization the Mimes has its unknown and unsung heroes. In this case it is the stagehands and technicians who labored so zealously without reward. Their leader was, and still is, that enigmatic, perpetually amazing, indomitable genius, Harry C. Schnibbe. William de R. TaafFe took time out from his many and varied duties to keep a watchful eye on the costumes. The rumor has i- that his loss will he deeply felt next year. Michael O'Leary directed the lighting with a professional touch. John P. O'Brien was Property Manager. And last hut not least, the Stagehands Andre Schwittcr, James McGrath, Gerard Murphy, Justin O’Neill, James T. Reap, John Brooks, Edward Leo Zipp, Thomas L. Barr, Gerard Gilbride. Richard Grace, George Kimmerlmg, Joseph Kroppy, John Regan, and James A. Cooney. 227 M « « o o i) COUNCIL OF DEBATE Fk. Ioiin J. Coniff, S.J. Charlfs F. Broderick Joseph A. Lakkis '38 Thomas F.

Sheehy, Jr. 38 Moderator Assistant Moderator President Vice-President Secretary Ouurmcti of Lecture Committee IN keeping with precedent established m previous years, the 1937-38 session ot the Council of Debate enjoyed a most successful season of accomplishment. Brilliant debates, interesting lee cures, instructive talks all these and more were highlights of the past scholastic year—a year which saw the Council attain to new heights of prestige and renown. The eighty-fourth year cf the Council of Debate was a year cf achievement a year in which the eloquence and logic of the orators were voiced in the greatest number of individual performances in its history. The intercollegiate program of debates for the past year listed twenty-live engagements, surpassing by one, the record of the previous year. Outstanding debates of the year arranged by Thomas F. Farrelly 38, were the Marquette. Holy Cross. Georgetown, and Washington and Lee. Out metropolitan arch-rival, N. Y. U., was met three times in two platform and one radio engagements. Other engagements were Boston University, Boston College, Manhattan, Columbia, Niagara, St. John's 228 POO 1958 Hobart. Seton Hall and C. C. N. Y. Features of the program were the Jefeat of Holy Cross by the Council speakers prior to which the Crusaders had amassed a total of eighteen consecutive victories in intercollegiate contests, and the radio debates against N. Y. U. and Manhattan on succeeding days over hook-ups embracing the Mid-Western States and the Eastern Seaboard. The increase in individual appearances by the members was directly attributable to the Lecture Committee of the Council which, under the direction and supervision of John J. Sheehy, |r. 38. fulfilled rhe most ambitious schedule undertaken since its inauguration as a functional branch of the Council. Averaging a lecture every two days, the Committee surpassed last year's splendid iccord of eighty-two appearances, with a remarkable performance of one hundred and eleven appearances, presented by one hundred seventy-two individual speakers. Under a new plan of operation, instituted by the Chairman, a prospective speaker qualified for his position by the submission of a thesis, his chosen topic of study, to the Chairman and Moderator. This thesis was then passed upon by this examining board before rhe speakers were assigned to actual lecture work. Thus, the members of the Committee weie well versed in their subjects and did excellent work in this regard. The tiaining of members of the Freshman Lecture Committee was also undertaken by the Council Committee. It does not seem out of place here to mention the speakers whose consistent meritorious and distinguished debating and lecture have brought a keen sense of delight to Fordham's audiences, extended as they were from the proverbial rock-bound coast of Maine to the rippling wheat fields of the Middle West. Notable for their oratorical fire and irresistible logic were Bill Mattison. Jcc Larkin, John Sheehy, Brian McDonough. Justin McCarthy, Bob Flanagan, Joe McKenna, Tom Farrelly and John Bauer. A good part of this year's success is also due to such undergraduates as Bill Hogan, Bill Doty, Joe Dolan and John Keavey. In their hands one ol Fordham's greatest traditions will he capably carried on. With the foregoing speakers shouldering the burden, the 1037-38 season saw the Council of Debate soar to new heights of forensic accomplishments. 229 i h: a HUGHES tS: DEBATING o SOCIETY O D Harold J.

Mussolini, and Hitler, but not being able to decide whether or not the topic of the year, compulsory arbitration, is desirable or not. Meeting Monday afternoons in the Little Theatre of Keating Hall, the Society settled early in the fall upon a plan of intramural debates with the aim of uncovering as many potential Ciceros as possible. The experiment was duly rewarded with the discovery of such capable haranguers as Messrs. Rolinot, O'Brien, Barnwell, Smith, Covington. Guess, Doyle, Froelich, Fay, Hanna and Paret. The fall having been spent thus in preparation, the Society entered upon an ambitious interccllegi ite schedule in the spring. Princeton, Rutgers, Holy Cress, City College of New York, Boston College. Niagara, Canisius, New York University, Manhattan were among those institutions of learning against whom the Sophomores matched woids, yet through all this verboose barrage, the colors of Hughes flew unsmirchcd. The Princeton debate was especially noteworthy, for Messrs. Meenagh, Reynolds and Breen gained immortal glory for themselves and the Society by very definitely defeating the strong ream horn old Nassau, gaining an unanimous decision in the hall of St. Simonstock, and sending the tiger heme with its tongue between its legs. The Boston College debate was marked by the effective oratory of Messrs. Breen, Reynolds, and HefFernan. The conduct of the above six gentlemen insures the Council of Debate of able replacements for the Seniors who leave the rank of the Maroon forever this June. 230 F O « I - 5 8 FRESHMAN FORUM Rev.

So many Freshmen one hundred and eight in all- enrolled that the college authorities deemed it advisable to divide the Forum into two sections. As a result of the elections Gerard Jones was chosen as President and presiding officer of Section I. William Schieffer, the First Vice-President acted as presiding officer of Section II. Charles Boyd was the Secretarvof Section I and John Dugancf Section II. The twosections held meetings weekly. Section I in the Little Theatre and Section II in the Council of Debate chambers. Throughout the year continued interest in the affairs cf the Forum was manifested by the almost perfect attendance at the meetings and by the large number of speakers from the floor. Intercollegiate debates were held with N. Y. U. and Rutgers. Messrs. John Dugan and Vincent Brennan represented Fordham and the Forum against N. Y. U. Messrs. Frank Ford and Albert Hanlcn. William Schieffer and J. Kenneth Campbell against Rutgers. The debate with Rutgers was a dual affair. In none of the debates was a decision given but in all the representatives cf the Forum acquitted themselves with distinction. 231 -y i h n o o d QUILL CLUB Rev. James A. Taaffp, S.J. Moderator Robert E. Doerr '38 . President William i t R. Taaefe '38 Vice-President John W. Donohue 39 Ctrmor John W. Hayes '39 Secretary T1 IE Quill Club was founded in 1025 to encourage the study of the short-story among the stu-Jents of Ford ham. That it satisfies a real inteiest ol men in the college is sulliciently evidenced by its successful completion of thirteen years of existence. The Club provides the students with an opportunity not only to examine the principles and technique of the short-story but to put these principles into practice. Meetings are held on every second Tuesday throughout the school year in the office of the Monthly. At every meeting two members re.id original stories which are afterwards criticized by two other men, designated for this purpose. After this criticism the iloor is open lor general discussion. The members are appointed to read in rotation and so a definite cycle is preserved. The critics selected for one meeting automatically become the readers for the next. The success of this writing enterprise during the 1937-38 session has been due substantially to the work of the olJer members. These include William dc R. Taaffc and Robert F. Doerr of Senior, John W. Donohue and John W Hayes of Junior, and in Sophomore Michael I O'Leary. However, the more recent members Michael C. DiFabio 38, Henry Covington 40, and Gerald J. Johnson '40 have contributed a proportionate share of writing endeavor m their proper turn. 232 FOG I - 5 8 (%' THE SCRIVENERS Rev. James A. Taaffe, S.J. . Moderator Frank P. Fori ‘41 . President J. Kenneth Campbell 41 Vice-President George O'Brien ‘41 . Secretary John T. Duc.an '41 . Censor THEY say that every other Monday, in a rcoin in De ily I iall, the most quaint and gripping tales are unfolded to an attentive and discerning audience. Those meetings seem at cnce a page out of the Arabian Nights when Shahrasad spun her web of fiction to her lorJ Sluhrisar and lus great train, and again reminiscent of the coffee shops in England at the time of Addison and Stelle. Happily however, they are free from the endless duration of the former, and the tendency toward pedantic affectation in the latter. The Scriveners, The Fieshman Writing Club, devoted exclusively to the short story, comprises some nineteen faithful members, headed by Frank Ford. J. Kenneth Campbell. George O'Brien and John Dugan, President, Vice-President. Secretary and Censor respectively. All these literary fledglings are under the sheltering wing and experienced counsel of Rev. Fr. Taaffe, S.J., whose valuable commentaries are blended with insight, garnished with understanding ami salted with a kindly wit. The main business of each seance is of course the reading of the stories, usually of two in number and a subsequent criticism by all the members, often so lively and hotly contested that the arbitration cf the Moderator is imperative. The settings and styles of these creations form multifarious contrasts the two hemispheres have been scoured for atmosphere and dusty centuries taken from the closet and brushed off, while the idiomatic construction runs the gamut between Poe and O'Henry. 233 THE HISTORY CLUB Samuel F. Telfair, M.A. Timothy P. Regan 3S Thomas I Farrelly ?«S William dfR. Taaffr ‘38 Moderator President Secretary Treasurer THE History Club, which was established in 1034 inaugurated its fourth year of existence with proposed plans for a study cf Mexico. A secondary purpose of the History Club was to provide an opportunity for students interested in history to study countries not included m the regular college history courses. That this has proved a very practical plan can be attested tc by the numbers of students each year who faithfully attend the monthly meetings for the years 1037 and 103S is the fact that graduate members of the previous year have returned to participate and contribute to our study of Mexico. The Moderator of the Club is Mr. Samuel Telfair and his experience derived from years of teaching the history o! South America and Mexico in par liculai lias sei ved to insure a proper balance and perspective in relation to the contribution cf the members during the course of study. The earliest colonial history of Spanish exploration in the land we know now as Mexico served as introductory works to the study proper. The study advanced through the succeeding years, treating the architecture, the music, painting and governmental rule of the leading governors, the position and work ol the Church, beset upon every hand as it was with hatred and jealousy. It has been proposed that the icsultsof this year’s study may eventually find its way into permanent print. That these plans shall be realized are the fond hopes of the present members of the Historv Club. 234 FOB I 9 5 S |gh THE CLASSICAL CLUB John C. Duffy, M.A. Joseph M Stuckart '38 Zoltan P. Condos '38 Daniel J. Vincent 39 Moderator President Vice-President Secretary THE Classical Club, founded to further interest in Latin and Creek, attempted to achieve its end in a novel way. For many years the members have been curious to know why the classics were not being taught to more pupils in the secondary schools. At the suggestion of Mr. John Duffy, faculty advisor, it was decided to conduct a survey of the metropolitan High Schools with the purpose of answering this question in view. Representatives of the Classical Club interviewed the heads of the Latin departments in the secoiv dary schools. The results as soon as they have been compiled, will be published m booklet form to gether with several essays on the classics. The survey was the only activity with which the club busied itself. At the general monthly meetings, papers, (tc be published with the results of the survey) were read by several of the members and besides this, faculty members of other institutions, prominent educators, addressed the organist' tion. Brief as this account is. it is felt that it will suflice to set forth the activities of a club that is definitely on the upgrade here at Fordham. Anyone interested should apply to the office of the Dean for a copy of the Classical Club booklet. 235 FRENCH CLUB i h a o o o Basile G. D'Ouakil, Ph.D. . ... Moderator John F. Dunn '38 President Joseph P. Purcell 38 Vice-President William F. Leonard '38 Secretary Thomas F. Reardon 38 Treasurer THE French department at Fordham boasts that there are by far more students enrolled in the French course than in any other language course offered on the campus. Similarly, the Cercle Frangais likewise boasts of the fact that its rolls include a proportionately greater number of members than any ether corresponding campus organization. The success of the Cercle Francis has been due to a great extent to the efforts of Moderator, Basile G. D'Ouakil. who came here from Georgetown and played an active part in the actual establishment of the Cercle Francis cn the Fcrdham Campus. Primarily, the Cercle Franqais aims at affording the student an opportunity for further development of his mastery of French language and culture This it does by fact of the closer relationship made possible between student and professor and of the various discussions on the part cf the students themselves which is a substantial element of the meetings. Over and above this, it has always been the policy of the Cercle Frangais tc present prominent personages connected with French culture and literature to the members at the meetings. In the past year, the menders have been addressed by such persons as M. Albert Cru, prominent author and member of the French department at Colombia and M. Ahadi. Among the various other activities, there is the Rayon, the annual publication cf the Cercle Frans us. Each year, the Rayon devotes its pages to a different topic of general interest. This year, the topic chosen is a discussion on the modern Catholic writers cl France. 236 SPANISH CLUB FOR r 9 5 $ Basile G. D’Ouakil, Ph.D. Victor R.

Treasurer THE Spanish Club of Fordham College, “La Academia Espanola will celebr.ite the tenth anniversary of its founding in 193S. Its first major accomplishment, a Spanish annual, was produced two years after the club’s inauguration. A very worthy and impressive work, Prater)ml,id Hispania. has since appeared on the Fordham Campus each successive year, never failing to be enthusiastically received by both Fordham and the many other colleges on its mailing list. In conformity with the Club’s policy that all members familiarize themselves with both the literary and the more practical conversational phases of the language, Spanish speaking lecturers are invited to provide opportunities to hear Spanish as it is spoken in Spain and in the Hispanic American countries. By far the most engaging and interesting speaker who has ever honored the Spanish Club, was the late Father Jaime Castiello, S.J., whose loss to Mexico and Catholicism, the members of the Spanish Club can better appreciate for having experienced his magnetic personality, his remarkable versatility and his sincere lcve for Catholic Mexico, his native land and the field of his endeavors. On several occasions the Spanish civil war served as the subject of fiery discussions by Sr. Francisco de S. Larcegui. graduate of the University cf Madrid. 237 ITALIAN CLUB Rev. Gerald G. Walsii, S.J. Salvatore M. Pino '38 Bruno Bettini ‘38 Joseph L. Marino 38 Frank Craig 38 Bruno Bettini '38 Moderator President Vice-President Secretary T reasurer Editor of Anete CONVINCED that only By its influence does an extracurricular activity justify its existence, the Italian Club planned its year accordingly. A series of lectuies were planned tc treat of the culture of Italy, particularly in its relation to America. Italian history from the Fall of Rome through the wars for unification and independence up to modern times was sketched by our advanced history students. In turn Italian Art. Family and University Life and politics were lectured upon: and our year closed with a series of interesting lectures on the Italian greats, including Da Vinci, Botticelli, Michelangelo, Lorenzo the Magnificent, Savonarola, Garibaldi and Count Cavour. When the year closed, the club had discovered to its new members the vast reaches of Italian culture and had re-Jiscovered its richness to the old. The most important work for the year was the new project of publishing an Italian annual Anete. The purpose of this book was to tell of the history and. aims of the club and to reveal the cultural advance of its memlvrs through the publication of original poetry, essays and stories. Thus the Anete is the culmination of the club's cultural endeavors. In conclusion we wish to express our gratitude to our new Moderator, Father Gerald Walsh, S.J. whose constant interest in our work and whose extensive knowledge of matters Italian were of immeasurable aid to the club members. 238 BOB I 5 5 $ GERMAN CLUB Albert F.

Chief among its accomplishments was the publishing of the German yearbook, Deutscher Pendcl. Already accepted in literary circles outside and inside of school, it met with its usual popular approval and as an acknowledgment of the best article the Karl Sebum Prize was awarded. At the meetings, the members listened to prominent guest speukeis, in addition to members of the club. Educational films weie shown. German conversation engaged in, and songs lustily sung. Relations were had with the clubs of the various colleges in the vicinity as well as the Kalping So-ciety, a Catholic German organization, prominent all the world over. The members had the pleasure of a conducted tour through one of Germany's luxurious liners and immediately following this was one of the highlights of the social season the Modern Language Club dance, sponsored by the German Club in conjunction with the other language clubs. An appropriate end was brought to all activity by the club's Ixuiquet and outing, a huge success, which saw the sad departure of the Senior members and the approach of another year for the remaining members. 239 PRESS CLUB a o o n 1 H John A. McGlrty '38 ... President Justin McCarthy 38 V icc'President Leo S. Loom if. 38 Secretary James J. Lyons, Jr. 38 Treasurer THE Press Club, though limited to students having a flair tor journalism, found its ranks swelled to an almost unprecedented number after the first few meetings had taken place in September. Headed by John McGurty 38. the organization was quick to avail itself of the undergraduate members who were Fordham representatives of the metropolitan newspapers. Through Johnny Hayes and Jim Lyons, both Juniors, and connected with the New York Times and Herald Tribune respectively, trips to the offices of these newspapers in which a thorough investigation of the composing rooms, linotype machines, pressrooms and executive offices was arranged. It was not, however, until late in February that the “journalists invited the more prominent members in the ranks of professional newspapers to lecture at their meetings. This proved to be the most popular feature of the Club, for by concrete experience on the part of those in the field of journalism, the aspiring “journalists soon found problems for discussion which had previously failed to be considered by most of the members. Composed of active members of various campus publications, the Press Club functioned as a medium between them, where the problems confronting the periodicals were discussed and suggestions for their solutions proposed. 240 POO I 9 5 $ VERGIL ACADEMY Rev. Lawrence S. Atherton, S.J.....................Moderator O N January 30, forty Ereshmen constituting the Vergil Academy convened for the initial session of the year. Ambitious and eager, they energetically proceeded to plan for the distribution of work under the capable guidance of the Moderator, Father Lawrence i . Atherton, S.J. Every word that Vergil had written, comprising the Bucolics, Georgies and the famed Aeneid, was to be viewed by the members, deliberated on and criticized. The work of the Academy is totally a voluntary pursuit, thus the members are presupposed to have a special and particular interest in Latin and Vergil. Consequently the actual accomplishment of the group was a matter pending on individual initiative and resolution. Meetings, which were called every two weeks, were decidedly neither the time nor the place where the work was achieved. These assemblies served merely as an indication to the Moderator ol what the separate student was doing, and whether his studies were satisfactory. Although all were to read the Bucolics, several members expressed their desire to lie held officially responsible for various books of Vergil’s pastoral poems, the Bucolics. These gentlemen were: F. Ford, A. Galvan, J. T. Dugan, L. DeNigris, and W. Schieifer. Because of their voluntary offer, these men were thereafter considered authorities on the diverse reactions for which they had come forward to proffer their services. At a regular meeting they competently displayed their scholarship and ambition before the critical test of their fellow- Academicians. Aspiring plans have been discussed for an Actus Vergilianus. a demonstration of the Academicians knowledge and appreciation of Vergil to be held in the presence of the Freshman Class. In the course of the deliberations, the Academy was reminded of the immensity of the projected task and ad-monished concerning the necessity of concentrated application. This contention was further pursued when the members added that a systematic and intelligent approach was imperative with each menv her assuming responsibilities in proportion to his ability. As this edition goes to press all indications are that the Actus Vergilianus will blossom into actuality in a very short time. 241 THE OFFICERS’ CLUB Major Joseph Kohn, U. S. A., C.A.C.

Conway 3S SccrclaryTreusurer FOl JNDED in 1U29 with the intention of instilling a more fraternal spirit among the graduates and undergraduates of the Fordham R. O. T. C. Unit, this organization has served its purpose remarkably well. Its active membership is composed of the Junior and Senior cadet officers, and they are pledged to interest in tire R. O. T. C. those individuals of the incoming Freshman classes, who, in their opinion are suitable officer material. The fine type of student who has joined, and the excellent rating of the unit itself, speak well for the efforts of the various Officers'Clubs during the past years. It is down at Fort Hancock that the best part of the aforementioned transition takes place. Here the embryo Fordham officer lives the real life of an army private, although there were jocular claims that the regular army privates lived luxuriously by comparison. Six weeks of constant drill, healthy outdoor activity, work on the big six inch and 155MM. guns, tiling and cleaning pistols and machine guns, and innumerable other military duties, turns out the finished product the Senior officer. The fourth year is the climax of three years of effort and training. Commands are barked in sharp tones and the Unit wheels through its paces. Snappy salutes are exchanged. Autumn. Winter, Spring, and then Demonstration Day. The final review. The Unit is officially turned over to the Juniors, and. s the uniformed ranks of rheir fellow-students go swinging past, the Seniors, standing at stiff attenti n with the reviewing staff, they ire no longer cadet officers, but Second-Lieutenants in the Reserve Corps of the I nited States Army.

Founded and placed on its upward journey by Dr. Walter A. Hynes it has been guided, these lust few years, by Dr. William J. Conway; and to their able supervision the club can attribute a large part of its prosperity. The success of the club during this year has been in a great measure due to Vito F. Nole 38, the President. The meetings, held once a month, consist of.: lecture and demonstration presented either by some member of the club or by a person prominent in the field of chemistry. In the past, members have been permitted to engage in undergraduate research work and, not only has the chemistry library been open at all times, but the faculty of the chemistry department has been extremely generous in giving both time and assistance to those so disposed. Thus the Chemists' Club, backed by its numerous accomplishments well done, looks forward to the future wherein it realizes it must continue to function to the inestimable benefit of Ford-ham students. 243 PHYSICS CLUB -f§ u h a o o n Wii,i iam T McNiff, M.A. Thomas F.

McNiff, planned a continued policy of promoring interesting and instructive scientific discussions with a view of strengthening the student's appreciation of science. Until this year we had limited ourselves in our selection of speakers to members of the university faculty or guests from the metropolitan area. However, a new custom was successfully begun of electing members of the student body to address the club on problems of scientific moment. The initial speaker was Professor Frank E. Meyers of New York University College of Engineering who addressed the club on the production of high voltages in experimental research. Our next speaker was Thomas F. English '38, President of the club who spoke on Roentgen and The X-Ray .' The discussion included a brief summary of the life of Roentgen, an explanation cf the source and nature of the X-Ray and a demonstration by the Club's moderator, Mr. William T. McNiff. A sound picture was shown to the club at the following meeting. The topics illustrated and discussed were on many scientific topics including light, electricity and sound. At the next meeting Dr. William A. Lynch of the Fordham faculty discussed and demonstrated the phenomena of light, indicating the scope and profundity of such an apparently simple fact. Robert Sealy 39. Secretary of the Physics Club, was the final speaker of the year. He was assisted by Rol eit I. King 39. Their topic was Telev. ision.' 244 F O B I 5 8 gjfr THE MENDEL CLUB Rev.

Out of this casual meeting grew the F. B. F.. at first numbering about fifty men and now including two hundred and seventy-five, from all classes and courses in College. This remarkable increase was due largely to the unselfish efforts of Mr. Edmund Bowen, who has served as moderator since its inception. The activities of Forum cover a wide field. Speakers from all walks of business and professional life are invited to address members and their guests in miscellaneous topics. Visits to financial and industrial institutions serve the purpose of familiarizing the students with business procedure in its practical application. Upperclassmen in Forum gratuitously donated their services to tutoring Freshmen and Sophomores desiring such aid. The Forum also aims to help its members, so far as it is able, in obtaining positions after graduation. 246 P OB 19 5 8 ORCHESTRA Mr. Frederic Joslyn . Director Samuel J Benson, Jr. '38 President James Morrow '40 Secretary Richard Fuck ‘40 Librarian THE Fordham University Orchestra, during the past year under the patient and inspiring dlrec-tion of Mr. Frederic Joslyn, has made great advancement in furthering the art of Music at Fordham. It has served the Muse well by striving to furnish the college with a type of musical inter' hide of which it may justly pride itself. Those who have attended either the Annual Varsity Play, the Varsity and Freshman One-Act Plays or the Oratorical Contests, know how well the Orchestra has carried out its aim of providing good classical and popular music for these various functions. Much of the Orchestra's success is due to the generous assistance of Fred Lodes. Sam Benson. Eddie Gehrling. Timmy Hartnett, and Eddie Mortola of the Senior Class. For it was through their cooperation and self-sacrifice and that of the underclassmen that the Orchestra has keen able to make such a fine showing during 1Q37-1Q3S. Although the Orchestra is one of the more modest and less heralded activities on the Fordham campus, nevertheless its high standard of achievement has made it an indispensable adjunct for many college functions. It is to the Orchestra’s creJit that its performance at the plays and oratorical contests lend the necessary well-rounded note to the evening’s program.

Moderator Mr. Frederic Joslyn Director Ralph Hylind 3S Jerome Coyle '38 Richard Bpnnptt '38 Robert King 39 Joseph Casey '40 TAKING its place again this year asoneof the country’s foremost collegiate musical or gam rations, the Fordham University Glee Club engaged in a schedule of unprecedented proportions and throughout that schedule, displayed again and again that completeness of training and inusicianly understanding which have made it famous on the concert stage and in radio. The group was again under the direction of Dr. Frederic Joslyn who has brought it to its present position in the musical world, and who. as usual, produced a male chorus worthy of the traditions which it inherited. As in preceding years, the singers appeared at almost every one of rhe women's colleges in the metropolitan and surrounding districts, to engage in those delightful combination concerts and sup' pei dances which are always appreciated not only for their musical but also their social aspects. Georgian Court, Mount St. Vincent. Good Counsel, Notre Dame, and LadvchlF were visited in what has become almost as much a regular part cf the Club's curriculum as the Town Hall Concert itself. Second only in importance to the annual concert was the strikingly successful appearance with Miss Jessica Dragonette at the Philadelphia Academy of Music on November the twenty-second before a crowded and enthusiastic house which applauded to the utmost every effort of the choristers. The latter gave one of their best concerts in years in what is certainly among the most acoustically per-feet auditoriums in the country. Continuing another of the Club's traditions, the group sung the MiJmght Mass for the Fordham 248 Alumni Sodality in :he University Chapel on Christmas Eve Prior to the Mass, a specially selected group of Christinas Carols was rendered in a beautiful and reverend recognition of the Coining of the King. At Town Hall, on the eighth of March, the annual concert was given and it can only lie said that in every way it met with the praise and approval of music-Icving friends of Fordham. Always one of the highlights cf the school's social calendar, it was so this year more than ever before. Ranging from the stirring Hail1 Bright Abode from Tannhauser to the beautiful choral arrangement of Tschaikowskv's Fifth Symphony, Iagnt of Dawning it delighted the audience from start to finish and encore after encore was demanded and accorded. Special credit must be given to Victor De Riso, the soloist, who has certainly one of the finest tenor voices of which the club has been able to boast in recent years, and also to Timothy Hartnett and James Cavagnaro whc brought down the house with their two-piano renditions. Appearances on the Pontiac Variety Show over a nationwide hook-up and at Rochester under the auspices of Bishop Kearney, an old Glee Club friend, rounded our an exceptionally active and successful year. Thanks and credit are due to chairman John Kilmartin and his Board of Directors, Jerry Coyle, Ralph Hylind, Dick Bennett, Bob King. Alder Holbrook, ami Joe Casey who governed the Club's activities, and tc Concert Chairman, Ted Fremd and his assistant chairmen, Leo Tully. Bob Giordano, Jim Morris and A1 Casale, who insured the great success of the concert at Town Hall. At this, the close of the year, the graduates are urged to remember that one never really graduates from the Glee Club—and to return each year to the reunions that make this lx Jy unique among Fordham organizations. 249 V I 3 3 0 0 1) THE FORDHAM BAND Rf.v.

To show the appreciation that the hand attained, an original march was especially written and dedicated tc it. It can he readily seen therefore, that the Fordham Band although laboring under difficulties peculiar to its nature, has achieved a desirable goal. The Band's main function is to provide the music at the School's athletic contests. It was only this year put under the guidance of the R. O. T. C. department. It continued to function throughout the school year. It also has added duties. It represented the University in the military or other functions such as the St. Patrick's Day Parade, to which the University was tended an invitation. One of its final acts of every year continuing will lie to give a musical Concert which like the first was extremely successful. With such a driving force the Fordham University Band cannot help but climb to an enviable position in Collegiate musical circles. 250 F O H 19 5 8 BROOKLYN-LONG ISLAND CLUB Rev. Charles J.

Gill ‘38 Secretary Andre Sen witter ‘38 T re a surer THE native and largest state club on the campus, the B 1 .1, has for the tenth consecutive year shown its superiority in Fordham social affairs The traditional best dance of the year, held in the Grand Ballroom of the Hotel Roosevelt on the night of January 20, was a huge social and financial success. Fordhnm men with the semester exams a fresh memory, danced and performed an occasional Big Apple to the music of Johnny Johnson and his orchestra, while over a hundred dollars surplus was being realized for the Jesuit Foreign Missions. This year's Winter Formal was in the capable hands of chairman Edward B McGinty and a committee of Seniors, Coyle, O'Connor, and Tollner and underclassmen Gill and Hines. B.L.I. men past and futuie joined their thanks and appreciation with that of the present members for the unselfish and untiring eilorts of these men to keep the club at the top of ofPcampus activity. In the Spring an outing and beefsteak was held at Kaiser Island. This proved to be a successful innovation. Captain Joe De Sio and the club baseball team trounced the Westchester Club in a hotly contested game. Then on the way home, a banquet was held at the Roger Smith Hotel, to form a fitting conclusion to the year's activities. 251 i3- M « R o o n MASSACHUSETTS CLUB Rev. Charles.!. Deane. S.J.

President Leo DeMarco summoned a meeting of Fordham's loyal representatives from the Bay State. At this assemblage, originated that traditional spirit of friendship and informality typical of these illustrious groups. The club's membership is not restricted to resident students alone, though the activity of these staunch supporters predominates. As a consequence to the great expanse that separates our homes from this “Great Metropolis,' and our proportionally diminutive enrollment, it was impossible for us to make the annual holiday dance a reality. We bridged this difficulty by an informal gathering at the Boston College Fordham baseball duel during the Easter recess, which was climaxed by a most pleasant evening in one of Boston's favorite hotels. The committee responsible for this successful social was comprised solely cf Seniors, including Joseph Woitkoski, Leo DeMarco, Edward Kr.uis and John Callahan. Since its organization, the Massachusetts Club has maintained the honorable distinction of presenting Fordham with varsity material on the gridiron and on the diamond. They were not to be outdone this year, for amongst the former gladiators we were privileged by possessing “Joe Woitkoski, “Don” Principe, Wilbur Stanton and Leo DeMarco. It will long be remembered in the annals of Fordham the part these men have played, on the greatest team in Rose H-.ll history. On the diamond the sterling work of Joseph Woitkoski will not soon be forgotten by Ram adherents. To Edward Kraus went the honor and privilege of leading the famous Fordham Band. As the years progress it is hopeJ that the zeal and enthusiasm of loyal club members will make the Massachusetts Club the most outstanding organization on Rose Hill Campus. 252 F C) H 19 5 8 ffifr •I- UPSTATE NEW YORK CLUB Rev.

Dempsey ‘39 Treasurer THIS small But nevertheless active club makes up for its limited membership by its contribution to the social and extracurricular activities of the campus. Composed for the greater part of residents of many and distant sectors of New York State it has been difficult tc arrange events in such a way that all members would be able to participate. However, through excellent cooperation on the part of the members, a formal dance was sponsored at the Hotel Ten Eycks in Albany during the Christmas recess under theco-chairmanshipof John B. Loughran '39 and John A. Murray, Jr. '30, this affair was received with great acclaim as evidenced by the large attendance of members of other State Clubs traveled far in order to enjoy the festivities. The club lay dormant for the earlier part of the new year but bounced back into prominence during Easter vacation with its second formal dance of the year at the New Kenmore Hotel in Albany. At present, plans are under way for a farewell banquet to be tendered the Senior members during commencement week. It can be truly said that the Upstate Club has contributed largely to the different organizations ncwf existing at Fordham, both athletic and educational. To the different teams we have contributed Don Binty. Dan McGillicuddy, John Beale, and many others. Bob Callaghan, our President, carries our banner on the swimming team and also in the Glee Club. Bob Dempsey exemplifies the true brotherly spirit of the club by his great work in directing the activities of the St Vincent vie Paul Society. It need not be emphasized here the importance of the organization, but rather should it be stressed more ably by its own activities. 253 -y jti a n o o n Rev. Charles J. Deane, S.J. Moderator Gerard J. O’Brien 38 President William H. Bavp 39 Vice-President William J. Grote '38 Secretary John D. D'Apice '38 Treasurer THIS year finds the Westchester Club in its graduation year, for the Club is really a product of the Class of 1938 and began its notable recorJ four years ago. In its anniversary year, the Westchester really becomes a senior Club with all the organization and efficiency that four years can bring. This year more than ever it supplied Fordham with its share of social leadership. Under the guidance of Jerry O'Brien many new functions were added to those of the past. On November 15 the Club held its annual Beefsteak and under the energetic chairmanship of Bill Neill, another social success was added to the best of Clubalfairs. Immediately after preparations were made for the annual Spring Formal. Joe Larkin was electeJ chairman for the event and along with the President, he selected a committee including Fred Lodes, Vic Ridder, John McIntyre, Bill Neill and the four officers. The dance was held on the usual Friday following the Easter vacation, April 29, in the grand-ballroom of the Hotel Roosevelt. About 4(X) couples crowded the floor, dancing to the smooth swing of Richard Himber and his nationally famous radio band. And so with grand weather, a grand band and a grand crowd, this was an event which was easily the gayest and most colorful of the season. Following the dance, it was voted by the members to hold an outing at Keyser Island, where a baseball game was to played with the B.-L.I., our friendly rivals, furnishing the opposition. And with this gala day the activities of the Club ceased for the year and while the Club finds all its organizers m the ranks of graduates, the Club itself remains to do post-graduate work in the social field.

Garrity ’38 T reasurer CONNECTICUT CLUB FROM the time the Connecticut Club began its activities for the year 1937 38 the club enjoyed one of the most successful periods in its history. Though the purpose of the club is mainly social, it is a means for the students who reside in Con necticut to further acquaint themselves and to keep in contact with the alumni. The Connecticut Club's main function, the annual Christmas dance, took place at the Race Brook Country Club and the music was furnished by the renowned orchestra ot Worthy Hills. This affair owed its success to the eiforts of the ChairmaivPresident William Tidgewell, and the committeemen, James Garriety, and Francis Anderson. The success of the dance was evident from the fact that many students from other states traveled to New Haven in order that they too might partake of the light and friendly atmosphere characteristic of all Connecticut Club functions. The meml ers wish to extend their gratitude to the alumni for their cooperation which helped to make the dance the smartest of the season. 255 a A o o i) PENNSYLVANIA CLUB Rev. Charles J. Deane, S.J.

Like rhe mighty oak. this club has increased in size and interest until a membership of twenty-five is now proudly boasted. Although not so active as the larger metropolitan organizations at Fordham informality has always characterized the meetings of the Keystoners. Their organization composed for the most part of boys from the Wyoming Valley which is acclaimed rhe heart c-f the Anthracite coal fields is a purely social one. and purports to better acquaint the Keystone Staters at Fordham with one another, and to lie instrumental in their future success as alumni. The Pennsylvania Club boasts of more loyal adherents among its alumni than many of its brother organizations. An. air of fraternal congeniality among alumnus and student always pervades whenever they are together at gatherings which are held frequently in the Hotel Starling at Wilkes-Barre. 256 FOB IOSS $gh NEW JERSEY CLUB Rev. Charles J. Deane, S.J. Moderator Edmund Franco 3S President John Druze '38 Vice-President F.mil Dul '38 Treasurer Meade Coyi f '30 Secretary Fred Giersch '38 Corresponding Secretary ' 7 I 'ST ten years ago, a group of initiative and determined students, formed a club which was to represent their home state. This was the New Jersey Club. It seems now that the same initiative' ness and determined spirit is always to be characteristic of its members. For since 1928 the Jersey Club has been one of the foremost in all activities. And although this is only its tenth anniversary, it reaches the acme of representation. This may seem exaggerated, but when we realize that the respective Captains of Football, Basket' ball, Track and Swimming; John Druze, Richard Davis, Arthur Kneen and William Schirmer are members of this organization, our doubts are dispelled. Besides this group there are many other members equally prominent socially and scholastically. The annual winter dance, the height of all its social activities was usually held prior to the Christmas vacation. I lowever. this year, rather than conflict with other campus affairs, the dance was held on Friday, February 25. The dance which also acted as a reunion for many of the alumni, was a success. This was attributed to the laborious efforts of Chairman Fred Giersch '38 and the committee, for which the club is very appreciative. Tentative plans have been made by the present Oncers and some of the past ones, regarding the forming of an alumni chapter. This organization is eagerly anticipating the development of the plans and because of the support it is believed that they will materialize. 257 A LAST FAREWELL Slowly fall the shades of evening.

Ford 41 Edward S Rice 40 TO those who are aware of the decades of respectability behind The Fordhani Monthly, it conies as a shock to learn that the Monthly's forerunner at Ford ham had to he bootlegged on the campus. This patriarch of all the college publications, begun in 1853, was known as the Goose Quill and appeared monthly under the editorship of one “Ham . Ham w.is finally revealed to be a collective personality nude up of three members of theclassof '55 Father Larkin, president at that time, would not allow the magazine to be printed or circulated outside of the college and tor a long time refused to permit it to be posted in the reading room. At the other extreme in the case was Father Gockeln, vice-president of the college, who provided the editors with the key to a small room oil the study hall which they used as a sanctum. 262 POO I -} 5 $ The past year has, generally speaking, been a gratifying one for the Monthly. The magazine is presented in an attractive, new and modern format with a vari colored cover design and in its subject-matter attempts to maintaina satisfactory proportion between the humorous and the heavy, art work and printed matter. No account of the Monthly's work would be complete without mention of the men who have made that work a reality. In the graduating class, William de R. Taaffe and Charles R. Byrne have been especially prominent, the former by reason of his many essays and his guidance of “The Aisle Seat, theatre review column, 'he latter for his pertinent articles on current affairs but principally for the wealth and fertility of his lyrics. Mature literary essays How from the pen of William A. Harvey while Robert E. Doerr, editor-in-chief, has contributed short-stories, occasional verse and the editorials. John W. Donohue, Joseph V. Dolan, and John W. Hayes have been the mainstays of the class of '39. The first will be remembered for vivid, personalized sketches and short-stories; Mr. Dolan by virtue of his pertinent articles on questions of the day and Mr. Hayes for lively, witty skits and strikingly thoughtful poems. Thcmas A. Reynolds ’40 has piovided a number of modern essays on literary topics while John P. Me Elroy '40 is the composer of much compact and sentient verse. Michael O'Leary 40 has authored powerful and oftentimes startling short-stories whereas several beautifully simple, unaffected lyrics are to be credited to Gilbert P. Hennessey '40. Line drawings and black-and-whites for use in the magazine have been adequately supplied by art editors, Bernard J. Loughlm 39, Edward Rice ‘40 and Mr. O'Leary. Donald L. Firnstein '40, business manager, has satisfactorily handled the commercial and advertising affairs of the Monthly. Over all, the Rev. James A TaafFe, as faculty advisor, has contributed to the magazine's successful functioning. As was mentioned before, the Monthly is indebted to the above named editors for its well-distributed content of literary, social and political essays, its modern short-stories, its poetry. The loss of the men in the graduating class is regrettable, but the gap will be capably filled by rising underclassmen. The Monthly, oldest existing publication on the campus, has outlasted the upheavals of fifty-odd years. Its future life will be as permanent and secure as that of the university itself. 263 THE RAM Rev. Lawrence S. Atherson Moderator Leo S. Loomie 38 Editor-ir.-CUief John A.

The arduous position of Editor-in-Chief was held by Leo S. Loomie, Jr., whose task it was to direct the large staff of more than fifty members. Anyone who has seen the bustling madhouse that is the Ram office on a busy afternoon just before deadline will realize that the job of Editor is no sinecure. It is to Mr. Loomie s credit that he handled the thousand and one details which are entailed by lus work i.i a highly competent manner. John A. McGurty. a veteran Ramstaller o! four years experience, filled the highly important position of Managing Editor As chief of the News Board, he was responsible for the t ask of getting the assignments in on time, getting them down to the printer, correcting and editing all proof, and in general serving as the backbone of the paper The News Board, which is composed of four Juniors, the Messrs. Lyons, Goett. Keavey and Cosgrove, will be the source of the main directors of the Ram’s destiny next year. Hence it fell upon Mr. McGurty to train these young men for their future responsibilities, while at the same time taking care of the innumerable different phases cf publication. 264 FOB 1958 fife- The tangible results show how well he succeeded in the latter part of his job. and time alone will tell how well he succeeded in the former. The sports pages of the Rd� i were under the direction of William W. Love. As in any newspaper which caters to a large body of males, these pages were of predominant interest, and Mr. Love func tinned as well in his position of Sports Editor as any sport-hungry student could ask. In addition to keeping these pages readable and up to date. Mr. Love authored the Looking Them Over column. His brief and effective style was well received on the campus despite a predilection to devote a considerable amount of space to the swimming team. However, since Bill is somewhat of a natator himself, churning a mean backstroke should the occasion demand, this minor idiosyncrasy did not mar his fine record. “The Rambling Column” which each year since its inception, has risen to new heightsof popularity, was written by Justin McCarthy. The author of this column must have a keener reportorial sense than almost anyone else on the paper, in order to give to his avid readers the cross-current of student social and campus activity. The very material which makes Ramblings so popular is what makes it such hard assignment, and Mr. McCarthy did an exemplary good job all year. His facility in digging up various tidbits of news concerning the student body caused him to be favorably compared with John Donovan of '35, considered the model for all Rambling columnists past or present. Daniel Herr, taking over the “Review column at the beginning of the year, soon turned what was once one of the driest and most neglected columnsof the paper into a witty, readable, and informative weekly stint. The three faithful old readers were soon augmented by the majority of the student body who, while they did not always agree with Mr Herr, still enjoyed reading him. His intense interest and enthusiasm for the theatre contributed much to his criticism of various plays. But Dan was generally considered at his best when acting as drama critic for the Ram in judgment on the various campus theatrical efforts. Then woe betide the student thespian who was not upon his performance, or the student author of a one-act who did wrong by his material. George Jean Nathan could hardly have been more caustic than Dan in the following issue of the Ram. Frank Shelley took over the “Off Campus” column in the middle of the year and much to his credit he kept it up to the high standard which had been set by Johnny Hayes. These gleanings from the news and humor of other colleges provided a bird’s-eye view of what was going on without our “hallowing gates. A mutlled chuckle from behind an ostentatiously raised hook in a Friday morning class usually meant that some quip from Purdue or Annapolis had scored a response in the far confines of Fordham. William A. Pfister directed the business side of the R«:m from his position of Business Manager. He and his staff working quietly and without any fanfare, did an excellent job in keeping financial affairs straightened out and in bringing in a fine volume of advertising. 265 l H t O () I) FORD HAM-FRANCE Basile G.

In point of fact, so successful has Fordhani'Fraitce been in its elforts to elfect a close harmony of French and English though: and culture, and so effective has the mode of presentation been in its pages, that some schools have even referred themselves to its staff and its moderator, M.

The feature chemical column under the heading Chemistry in the News” and the “Proceedings of the Chemists’ Club” were written by John McGurty and Robert Hennig 40, respectively. Another feature of each issue was the cartoons touching on something chemical which comprised Donald Slattery's '40. monthly offering. The aim of the Chemists' periodical has always been to further undergraduate interest m things of a chemical nature. This goal was probably better realized this year than in any previous. This was accomplished to a large extent by the variety of articles and the interesting style in which they were written. 269 THE MAROON Rev. Charles J. Deane, S.J. William de R. Taaffe Edward B.

Today there are but four left of the many which once were M s r o o n FOOTBALL John Druze '38 Captain Robert Murphy '38 Manager James H. Crowley .... Coach THOSE of us who, as grandstand quarterbacks, played our last game for Fordham won’t soon forget Rose Hill’s greatest team- and it was the best outfit ever to wear the olJ Maroon, matching the record of the famed 1929 team despite a suffer schedule, finishing third in the national ranking and being mentioned as a Bowl contender right up until the day of the decision. Others in the years to come will write of this year's Junior gridders and of the Soph Sensations but we’d like our story of the football season to be a tribute to the backbone of the team, the Seniors. And so a toast to Captain Johnny Druze, a great captain, a swell lellow and the Ixiy who kept Pitt's end-a round game in check. Then quail a bowl for Fordham's trio of All-Americans. Alex Wojciechowicz, Ed Franco and Al Barbartsky. Next turn to Joe Woitkoski whose punting was a decisive factor in all of the Maroon's major wins, whose passing supplied the extra scoring spark and who alone of all the nominal first stringers was able to win a starting berth in an underclass backfield. Then to John Lock, a sensation in the St. Mary s game; to Joe Bernard and Emil Dul, linemen who will be hard to replace: to Gurske for his fine playing as a regular in 1936; to McKnight for his substitute quarterbacking in 1935 and 1936; to Cange mi for his pivoting in 1935 and to all the others who might elsewhere have been greats. In the summer of 1935 the Fordham team lost Paul Arrigoni who might have been another alb time star contributed to Fordham's history by the class of 38. 274 FOR M 3 a o o n FORDHAM 66 FRANKLIN MARSHALL 0 Coach Crowley's team of destiny, the 1937 Rams, plunged into its forty-ninth football season with a convincing 66-0 triumph over Franklin and Marshall. The game, played October 2 at Randall's Island Stadium before a crowd of 8.000, smacked of the traditional since the two outfits met first in 1889. Dom Principe and Pete Holovak, Sophomore backs, turned in a brilliant performance for the Maroon by making three touchdowns apiece. In addition, I larry Zarik and Ralph Friedgen each scored one. while the two non-sophomore touchdowns were made by Joe Granski, a Junior. Captain Johnny Drure started his string of eleven consecutive conversions by kicking four extra points and Butch Fortunato contributed two more one-pointers. The Rams showed none of the razzle-dazzle type of play which was to characterize their later wins over stronger foes. Instead the spectators saw a rotation of six key plays leaving the diet necessarily unspectacular save to the rabid Fordham rcoter with an insatiable touchdown hunger. 276 FOB 1958 FORDHAM 48—WAYNESBURG 0 On the following Saturday, again at the Randalls Island Stadium and again before a crowd of S,000, Fordham ran into opposition supposedly just a little stronger in the form of Waynesburg's ’Yellow Jackets.’’ Unleashing a brilliant passing game, however, the Rams were able to garner fourteen points in the first quarter, twenty-seven in the second, none in the third, and seven in the fourth. At the same time the visitors were held scoreless for a 4S-0 count. Against Franklin and Marshall the Sophomores had contributed most of the scoring punch. This time the points were fairly evenly divided, with Dcm Principe scoring twice while Harry Jacunski, Captain Druce, Joe Granski. Joe Woitkoski and Harry Zarik were re' sponsible for one touchdown apiece. Johnny Druze ran his string of placements up to seven with a contribu-tion cf three and Fortunato. McKnight and Granski place'kicked successfully on three others. The team from the Pennsylvania hill country pene-trated Fordham territory only once. Just before the end of the first half, they brought the ball to the Maroon 49-yard line, there to have the whistle put an abrupt halt to scoring aspirations. 277 m a n o o r FORDHAM 0 On the third Saturday of October a new all-time record for Eastern Intercollegiate football was set when Fordham and Pittsburgh played to a scoreless tie for the third time in as many years. A crowd of 55,000 jammed the Polo Grounds to see the mighty Panther outfit, hailed as the best of the Sutherland regime, the Roselxiwl winner of 1936, holder of the Lambert Memorial Trophy symbolic of Eastern supremacy and the nation's ranking number one team, break the two-year deadlock. Instead the “Seven Blocks of Granite kept the Ram goal undefiled; the untested Sophomores did some fine ball-carrying themselves, and Pittsburgh, a pre-game favorite by 12-5. received a slight setback in its national championship hopes. Fumbles and penalties, it must lie admitted, did more than anything else to prevent a score. In the second period, Marshall Goldberg, the sensational ball-carrier from the hills ol West Virginia, terminated a 40-yard drive by crossing the Maroon goal-line on a reverse around left end from the 5-yard stripe. The cheers of the Pitt adherents faded, however, when the 278 F O B 19 5 8 PITTSBURGH 0 touchdown was disallowed because Matisi. the Panther left tackle, was detected holding. Pictures later revealed the referee's decision a most just one. But Lady Luck plays no favorites and in the third quarter the Fordham men lost a virtual tally in much the same manner. Dorn Principe had advanced the ball to Pitt's 10-yard line but three plays were ineffective and Fordham lost the ball when Captain Drug's placement went wild. A few plays later Goldberg fumbled, Druce recovered and it was the Rams' ball on the Panther 8. Principe advanced the leather to the 3-yard marker but the referee detected holding and back went Fordham to the 18-yard stripe, the greatest scoring opportunity gone. For the first time in the three year series the lads from the Smoky City held a statistical advantage and it must be conceded that they were more of a threat than the Fordham attack. Their almost unbelievable faulty handling of the ball, occasioned largely by the fierceness of the Fordham men's tackles, coupled with the fine booting of Woitkoski and the ball-carrying of Steve Kaclo, prevented a tally. 279 I XL a L o o n FORDHAM 7 TEXAS CHRISTIAN 6 A crowd of 25.CXX) sat spellbound beneath a leaden sky, at times drenched by heavy showers, to see Ford' ham score in the last three minutes of play and defeat a plucky Texas Christian aggregation. 7-6. With the Ram second stringers in at the start, Texas Christian struck swiftly and advanced the ball deep into Maroon territory. Coach Crowley rushed in his first team but the damage was done and a pass over the line netted the visitors a touchdown. The extra point, fortunately, was missed but T. C. U. clung tenaciously to its 6-0 lead for a full fifty minutes. Fordham's rirst big threat was a push of eighty yards which stalled on the three-yard stripe when the Texas lineman stopped the Rams just short of a tirst down. The Fordham men made several earnest tries during the spirited game but the one which finally clicked was a 100-yard last minute drive terminating in a touchdown from the 2-yard line by Principe, who went ..cross behind Wojciechowicz and Bernard. Wilbur Stanton, star kick-off man. converted for the Maroon and the game was won. The magnificent Ram defense permitted the visitors to threaten only twice and only four times did Texas Christian bring the ball into Fordham territory at all. 280 FORDHAM 14 NORTH CAROLINA 0 On October 30, Fordham made its first invasion of Dixie to meet the hitherto unbeaten North Carolina ■'Tarheels. A capacity crowd of 25,000 saw the Rams, playing beneath a mid summer sun, win 14-0 after scoring in the first and third periods. As a result the Fordham men came just a step closer to the mythical Eastern title, advancing to fifth place in the national ranking and maintaining the enviable record of never having lost to a team from below the Mason-Dixon line. Steve Kazlo made the first touchdown via the antiquated Statue of Liberty play when he circled right end for twenty-four yards and six points to terminate an 88-yard drive. In the third period Fortunato took the ball across after Principe had gained four yards through center from the 5-yard mark and Granski had been held for no gain at the same spot. Captain Druce converted for both touchdowns, making the score 14-0. The victory was noteworthy inasmuch as it was the first time the Sophomore backs had really clicked offensively and a team previously heralded as a gre -.: defensive unit was now a double threat, showing itself master of the forward pass and lateral and a great gainer along the ground route. 281 FL 3B o o n FORDHAM 21 The Maroon won its fifth game turning back Purdue's mighty boilermakers, 21-3. The -10,000 fans who witnessed the fray on November 6 could have no doubt that the Rams of 1937 rated a niche in football's hall of fame. Fordham struck through (he air, and along the ground with power and deception. Seven of ten passes completed bear ample witness to the potency of the aerial attack and a total of one hundred and eighty-six yards gained over the Mara turf vouches for the ground game. In (he opening minutes Purdue was gaining on the exchange of punts and soon the ball was on Fordhams nineteen yard line. After a pass had been grounded in the end zone on the third down, the visitor's famous Cecil Isbell, sent the pigskin whizzing through the uprights for three points and the first score. New the Rams began to move and from this point on the game was mostly Fordham s. A break for Rose Hill marked the turning point. Early in quarter two, Woitkoski got off a beautiful boot to the Westerner's five, a boilermaker touched it and Wojax recovered. Two plays later came the first touchdown on the wings of a pass from Woitkoski to Krywicki into the end zone. Captain Druze made his tenth consecutive conversion and the count was Fordham 7. Purdue 3. 282 r C) B 19 5 8 0jfo- •i[ .• PURDUE 3 Tally number two for the Maroon came also on a pass from Woitkoski to Krywicki. Druze made it eleven straight and the count was 14-3. Early in the fourth quarter KarJo slipped a short forward to Druze who lateralled to Babartsky who dashed down the sidelines twentydive yards for a score. The try for extra point failed: hut Steve Kazlo picked the leather up on the sixteen yard mark and ran it across, thereby making it 21'3. Again the Ram machine brought the ball to Purdue's seven on a shoestring catch by the versatile Johnny Druze. Dom Principe carried it within a few inches of the promised land: but the ball went to Purdue on her own goal-line. After this neither team came very close to scoring and so the fray ended. It would be difficult to single out an individual star in this most impressive of wins. The team worked per' fectly as a unit and every man contributed to the play. Wojciechowicz, as usual, was magnificent at the pivot post, wandering behind the line on defense to help stop every line thrust. Krywicki and Kazlo stooJ cut in the backfield and Joe Woitkoski, with his fine pass-ing, running, and punting, played the best game of his career. Johnny Druze showed his customary fine game and Jacunski vied with his captain on the other wing. 283 T H B O O D FORDHAM 6 On November 20 Fordham garnered its seventh con' secutivc victory of the 1957 campaign at the ex' pense of St. Mary's Galloping Gaels.” To the 55,000 spectators who witnessed the encounter, staged be neath a veil of snow, the oddest part was the 60 score The Rams’ victory, featuring sixteen Fordham first downs to the Gael's one, was worth at least a 200 count. The winning tally was the result of one of the fanciest plays of Coach Crowley's ultra-fancy collec-Hon and climaxed a gruelling march down the field without a single pass being thrown. With a third down on the Californians' 12-yard line. Alb America Al Wojciechowic- snapped the ball to John Lock who spun, faked a buck, and handed the hall in turn to Krywicki on an apparent reverse. The Maroon quarter-back, however, lateraled out wide to the left side to Joe Woitkoski who, with the Gaels all drawn to the right, crossed the goal line without a single hand touching him. The try for the extra point was unsuccessful. That was the sole touchdown for the Rose Bowl minded Fordham adherents to cheer, but time and 284 f o n I 5 5 8 ST. MARY'S 0 again they were brought to their feet as a Maroon and-Gold figure crossed mto the end zone only to have the play called back. In the first three minutes of play Joe Granski, on a beautiful reverse with superlative blocking, dashed 58 yards into the touchdown area, but instead of a score the Rams earned a penalty for holding. Again, Bill Krywicki went across after a 45 yard ruivback and, once more, the touchdown was nullified with a 25 yard gain being substituted. Liter, a forward double-lateral that went for 35 yards and another apparent touchdown, this time by Hayes, was cancelled on the charge that one of the carriers, “Wcjax, had touched his knee to the turf. St. Mary's single penetration of Fordham territory came on the wings of the sole aerial completed by the Morgans, a 13 yard toss which gave them a first down on the Ram 31. Here, Lou Ferry, the Gaels' place-kicker supreme, entered the fray, but his try from the 37 was thwarted when Wojciechowicz answered the plea from the Fordham stands and burst through the St. Mary's forward wall to block the kick. When the final whistle blew, the FordhanvSt. Mary's series stood at three victories apiece with one tie. 285 I 3-' 51 fi « o o n FORDHAM 20 The greatest football team ever to represent Ford ham finished the school's greatest grid campaign, November twenty-seventh, with a 20-7 victory over the Violet of New York University. Twice in period two and once in the final frame the powerful Ram stabbed across the New York goal-line and after the first t lilies the extra point was good; but throughout the entire fray it was called upon to repel a well-coached team that had everything to gain and nothing to lose. The Violet did manage to score once and this cn the last play of the first half with a potent aerial game and a conversion. Early in the second frame, after losing the ball once on the Violet 16. a long toss from the 56 to the 5 from Granski to Johnny Druze brought the ball to within inches of the scoring area. It was Dorn Principe however who carried the ball across for the first six pointer and it was the Ram captain who added the point. Shortly after, Granski faked on a reverse and dashed wide around his right end behind magnificent blocking for sixty yards, the longest dash of the day and a touchdown. This time, though. Captain Druze failed to convert. It was here that the Violet gained the ball 286 P O G 19 5 8 NEW YORK UNIVERSITY 7 on its own 34 when a Fordham lateral went astray, marched the hall past midfield and then, with Howard Dunney, back, kicked out on the Maroon's 4. Sieve Kado Ixxited back to the 43 and N. Y. U. went on to score via the air route. Coach Mai Steven's team surprised the spectators with its first half tally; but an even greater surprise was in store lor them at the start of the second half when the Violets employed an almost unheard of play and bottled the Ram deep in its own territory for a good part of the period. Fordham kicked off and Boell, who caught the ball, punted it Kick clean over the charging, unsuspecting Fordhamites. Fiore downed the 80-yard boot on the Maroon's 10-yard marker. With the play on the Fordham 42, near the end of period three, N. Y. U. passed and Jimmy Hayes, Ram guard, grabbed the leather and ran it Kick behind the brilliant blocking of Wojciechowicz to the Violet 19. Granski brought it to the 15 and the period ended. At the start of the final period, on the third down, left-handed Joe Granski tossed a pass straight over the center of the line to Joe Woitkoski who darted between a pair of Violets from the 3 for the last tally of the fray. 287 FROSH FOOTBALL Hugh Devore Coach Robert Rl'sso 39. Robert Callow ’39 Managers r I ’’HE Freshman footballers, tutored by Hugh Devore, kept an old Fordham custom alive by com-'■ pleting the 1937 campaign with an unblemished record. True, the Ram schedule called for only one intercollegiate meeting: but it was with a strong traditional foe, the New York University frosh contingent. 1: was the third consecutive victory for the men of Rose Hill over the Violet yearlings; and, on Flection Day, 7000 rooters crowded Ohio Field to see the Maroon earn it by a 19-6 count. The Rams marched 82 yards to their first score with Len F.shmont, the most impressive Maroon back cf the day. carrying the ball for short thrusts which netted five and six yards. Eshmont then passed to Steve Simonovitch for a 20 yard advance and the tally came with Len slanting of: right tackle after a 19 yard gain by Lewciyk. Dennery, Fordham right end, intercepted a Violet aerial and romped 32 yards for touchdown numlier two and Gene S.-.rno took a 12 yard forward from Kowalska to count the third Maroon tally with only 30 seconds remaining for the half. Sleepy Jim ' will lie counting next autumn on top-notch performances by some of the 1937 frosh crew, graduated into varsity ranks. Joe lingerer, right tackle; Joe Lucas, a guard; John Kuzman, another left tackle; Vince Dennery, an end; Lou DeFilippo, a center; Jack Herman, a thick-legged dynamiter of a back; Len Eshmont and Stan Lewczyk. both backfield aces, should be vital cogs in the 1938 Crowley machine. 288 FRESHMAN TRACK Ralph St. Pierre Captain Lawrence Mullarkey 39 Manager Jake Weber Coach LED by Walter Cary, with nine and one-half, and Ralph St. Pierre, with seven and one-half points, the Freshman runners showed considerable premise during the indoor season. The mile relay team, made up of Cary, John Jackson, Hugh Bennett and Ralph Sr. Pierre, won the Metropolitan College Freshman Mile Relay in 3:28.S. This same quartet also wen the Freshman Mile at Seton Hall two nights later in 3:31 5. In the Metropolitan Championship Meet at Madison Square Garden, Fordham's mighty mite of a Freshman, Hugh Bennett, after placing second in his heat took a fifth in the final against such experienced New York City sprint stars as Thompson and Rodenkirchen. Another first year man, Ralph St. Pierre, sprinter and broadjumper for the yearlings, showed surprisingly well in his first attempt of the season at the jump. Ralph easily cleared 20 feet in his initial try but in landing wrenched a leg muscle which forced his withdrawal from further competition that night Nevertheless his one try was good enough to net him a fifth place in the broad jump. Statistics reveal that the Fordhair. Freshmen garnered five points in the Brooklyn K. of C. meet, ten at the 60th Regiment games, two in the Osceola contest, five at Seton Hall and five in the National A. A. U. meet. On the whole the Freshman showing was good enough to warrant expectations of greater things from them during their varsity careers. Not a few critics harbored the belief that the present squad was the best yearling team to compete for Coach Weber since the present Seniors were Freshmen. 289 jti a q o o x TRACK Arthur Kneene '38 Captain J. Carey Keane '38 Manager Jake Weber Coach PLACED by Frank Slater, 1000 meter National title-holder and Wesley Wallace, 600 yard spe-cialist, the Fordham track team compiled probably the best indoor Winter record of any Maroon running squad of recent years. Slater capped h:s consistently fine performances on local Armory floors by his fine victory in the thousand meters at the Nationals in the time of 2:26:3. when he led Charlie Beetham home in a special half at the K. of C. games in the Garden. Wallace too, demonstrated his championship qualities on more than one occasion, notably by running up a string of firsts in 600 specials at the 69th Regiment games, the Osceola meet and Metropolitan Championship. The Ram relay teams lived up to the fine standard established by past Weber quartets by turning in a number of creditable performances at both the mile and two mile distances. The Maroon two mile club was particularly effective at their specialty. Manned by Joe Fay, George Leary, Wallace and Slater, they garnereJ the I. C. 4-A two mile relay title in the Garden and at the Boston A. A. games. The mile team hung up a few victories of its own. A team composeJ of George Gallico, Captain Arthur Kneene, Slater and Wallace had the honor of running the fastest time ever run by a Fordham mile quartet when they turned in a clocking of 3 20 4 in the N. Y. A. C. meet. 290 CROSS-COUNTRY August Paoli 38 Captain J. Carey Keane 38 Manager Jake Weber Coach r I HE Fordham “Hill and Dalers completed their cross-country season with as creditable a show-ing as could be expected from a team composed of men whose specialties are the quarter and half mile. What success they achieved in 1037 was due in a large measure to their gallant fighting spirit. The members of the squad, led by captain August Paoli, were George Leary, Frank Slater, Dick Peterson, Justin O'Neill. Michael Dolan and Joseph Fay and Freshmen Walter Cary, John Horning, Hugh Bennett, Alfred Glen, John Donovan, Ralph St. Pierre and John Jackson. The first meet of the year resulted in the defeat of City College, 20-35. Captain Paoli finished first in 28:43:3. George Leary was second, Dick Peterson, third. The team journeyed up to West Point, on one of the few trips taken by the Cross-Country in several years. Running on a hilly course, reputed to he one of the toughest in the country the harriers fought gamely but were defeated by the Cadets 10-36. On November 8, Fordham entered the Metropolitan Cross-Country meet and finished third. Then followed the I. C. 4-A on November 15, and the Ram finished fifteenth, beating Colgate, Rutgers and others. In the last two meets Captain Paoli was the first to finish for Fordham. 201 INTRAMURAL -3- ,m h « o o n ATHLETICS INTRAMURAL activities during the scholastic year 1937-38 attained a peak never before reached, with their success being Jue chiefly to the efforts of Father Thomas H. Moore, S.J., Student Counsellor. The various tournaments attracted entry lists far larger than those of previous years, ping-pong proving the only exception, and the dispatch with which they were completed set a r.ew high in efficiency. The program was inaugurated, as usual, by the tennis matches which this year saw mere than seventy aspirants competing for the championship. The final march pitted two former team mates from Fordham Prep. Ai Groh and Paul Spenrath, both Freshmen, against each other. After three gruelling sets the victory went to Groh. 6-3, 6-2. 6-1, who achieved his triumph mainly on the strength of his superior net play. The victor had previously won his way into the finals hv overcoming Henry Schmitt, '38. in five fast sets, 6 3. 2-6, 8 10. 6-4, 6-4, while his vanquished opponent gained the right to meet him by humbling I lenry Jaeger, 38. 8-10, 6-3, 6-1, 6-3. Immediately upon completion of the tennis finals, football occupied the center of the intramural stage, with the pigskin seeing action in two leagues. After a bitter elimination fight the playoffs found Freshman E, Two-Thirty League champs, lining up against the St. John Seniors, winners of the Three-Thirty League title. The good right arm of Gene Bowe was the deciding factor in the Seniors' IS O victory. Bowe filled the air with countless tosses, chiefly to team mates Crcgo and Callahan, three of which connected for scores. The Seniors' triumph marked the second time that this same eleven, last year titled “Dialecticians”, had gained the championship laurels. Each team, in order to gain entry o the playoffs, had first to repel the threats of nine other elevens in their respective leagues. A shift in locale was next effected as the scene of Intramural conflict was transferred from the great outdoors to the spacious confines of the Fordham gymnasium. Here the basketball tournament, under the direction of Vinny Clancy, and Johnny Hayes, got under way with four teams, one from each year, competing for the crown. The four-cornered fight eventually resolved itself into a Senior Junior affair, with the deciding game going to the upperclassmen by a 21-15 score. Joyce and McCabe, with eight points apiece, led the Senior attack, while the men of 39 were kept in 292 FOB 19 5 8 jfjfr the running principally through the stellar play of Hanlon and Brady. Regulars and substitutes ol the victorious Senior quintet, which finished the campaign with but one de-feat, were O'Brien, Joyce, McCabe, Kenny, Crego, Turner, Giersch, Corrado and May. A brief setback to an otherwise highly successful program came when the ping-pong tournament was cancelled because of a lack of student interest. Father Moore deemed the entry list insufficient to warrant the tourney s sponsorship. With the advent of favorable weather Intramural activity was resumed outdoors, the renewal of the handball and diamond tournaments following closely upon each other. For the third successive year the Senior combine of Caesar Altomare and John McMahon proved itself superior to all comers and again annexed the handball championship by defeating Joe Daly and Jim Flynn, a Soph-Junior duo, in three hotly contested games 22-20, 19-21, 21-16. The triumphant pair had previously removed the last obstacle in their drive to the finals by defeating Lantier and Murphy, of Junior, 21-13, 21-18, while Daly and Flynn, in their semi-final match, conquered the Senior team of McKiernan and Chapman, 22-20, 21-6. Altomare and McMahon, who have reigned supreme in this tournament since its inception three years ago, leave an enviable record for future court hopefuls to emulate. At this writing the baseball tournament, being conducted on four fronts, has not been completed. In line with the other successful tourneys sponsored throughout the year a large number of teams are at present engaged in play with the eventual champion still in the ranks of the many. The Interclass swimming and track meets, other popular features of the program are also awaiting their turn in the limelight. The success of the meets is already assured, however, with promising fields entered and prospects of record-breaking performances exceedingly bright. 293 a b o o n BASKETBALL Richard Davis 3S John Ryan '38 VlNNlh CAVANA- H Cuprum St anuger Coach When Coach Vin Cavanagh viewed Rose Hill's court talent list November, he was instantly cognizant of two things, the shortage of Class A material and the necessity of devout prayer. Captain Dick Davis, scintillating Hash of last year's clicking combine, and Bob Hassmiller were on hand to form the nucleus of an otherwise untried squad. There was a sufficiency of hardwood performers but that was all. Cavanagh decided on a first team consisting of Davis. Hassmiller. Welch, a sharpshooting Senior, Howie Weil and Dan McGillicuddy, promising Sophomores. We don't know how well Mr. Cavanagh prayed but his charges were only fairly successful, winning but nine of nineteen contests Georgetown and Villanova were the most important and most unexpected con quests). The season opened with the Alumni, and the de-giee winners bowed to superior ability, 28-15. Such significant names as Reinacher, De Phillips, O'Connor and Daley were in the graduate group —but the victory was expected. 2v 4 Fo r 19 5 8 ftjjfc- Upsala was overcome very easily, 3S-22, as the men of C.avanagh exhibited a tloor game that was good enough for so early in the campaign. Then Newark bowed, 21-11. as Davis Co. attacked. St. Peter's was next and the Maroon went to Jersey to pull vie-toryoutof the fire on Boh Hassmillei's sensational shot from mid-court. December 17. and the Pittsburgh Panthers invaded Rose Hill to display their basketball saroir jam to an assembl age of 5,000 court addicts. The addicts and Coach Cavanagh locked in vain for this thing called ‘‘setback as the Carlsoninen, scoring at will in the second half, subjected the home forces to a humiliating 35-23 setback. The defe at ended a victory parade of fourteen straight games that was begun last year when the Wonder Five functioned so admirably. The Rams opened the New Year inauspiciously in distant Buffalo when they were subdued by a fighting Canisius quintet. Columbia's Lions handed the Rose Hillers their third successive defeat when they ran up forty points mainly through the individual pi iv of Tom. Macioce who garnered fifteen points. The Rams were good for thirty-two. They slumped in the second half and Columbia drew away easily. The recession of the courtsters was temporarily stemmed when the Davis machine clicking with a modicum of efliciency nipped Seton Hall s competent combine, 35-32. Ed SaJowski tallied eighteen markers for the Setonia out- I H l O C) 1) tit and Big Bob Hassmiller countered twelve for Fordham. St. John's Redmen mounted Rose Hill and everyone predicted that Cavanagh's charges would be run oil the court. The Brooklynites won -46-33 and Gary Bush was the most outstanding floor man, contributing thirteen points to the St. John's honor roll. At the outset. Dick Davis ran up four consecutive goals and for a moment it seemed that the pre-game predictions were unfounded. Once the men of Lapchick began to function as a unit the result was inevitable. The Red-men were undoubtedly one of the best outfits that played Fordham. In their next appearance the Rams lost a heart-breaker to Colgate at Hamilton. The event was 41-40 and they don't come any closer. The local official called a technical foul against Jack Welch with five seconds of play remaining. It was even Stephen throughout and the Colgate captain's free throw decided the issue. Hassmiller was on” all evening and was good for twenty points. Ed Kamen had recovered from his appendicitis operation at this stage and for the first time during the campaign, the courtmen had exhibited what could be called spirited play.” Cathedral was easily defeated and then came Georgetown. In this game the Rose Hill machine achieved its most significant win of the year. 38-36. An extra session was necessary for the P C) tt r ? 5 8 fg- accomplishment of this feat hut the return of last year’s spirited manner of play reminded the vast assemblage of the Maroon unit that won ten straight. The spark of optimism that wins, ignited in the hearts of all Ford ham men by this conquest, became a consuming flame of enthusiasm when Villanova fell before this new Rose Hill club. This was decidedly an upset. The Wildcat aggregation had dropped but one decision in seventeen encounters and was considered the cream of the court crop. This was the end of the streak,’’ however. C. C. N. Y. and N. Y. U. conquered Davis and Ins men in the Garden—the game with the Lavender being of the thrilling variety. The score was 37-35 and it was only in the final minute that the Holman men realized their margin of victory with a beautiful set-shot effort. N. Y. LI. came back in the second half to overcome a Fordham lead and win 24-18. L. I. L., the boys with the sharp eyes from across the bridge, found the basket with amazing accuracy, to add Fordham to its list of victims. The score was 47-30 and if it wasn't for Jack Welch's set shots the Ram would have been considerably lower. The Crescent A. C. defeated the Ram in an overtime game, 38-36. Canisius dropped a return engagement, and in the season finale the Kelly-Greens of Manhattan eked out a three point victory, 34-31, to become the sixth Metropolitan quintet to shear the Ram. 207 FRESHMAN BASKETBALL THE Fordham Freshman five enjcyed more than a satisfying amount of success during the L937'3S campaign. Its play was net phenomenal but in all encounters it exhibited a spirited type of ball that brought countless conquests and the plaudits of Rose Hill court devotees. Varsity mentor Vinny Cavanagh guided the destinies of the Yearling outfit and in the persons of Lefty McGuirk, Lewis, Tecarr, Hearn, Rappaport, Hilly and Coffey, the Courtrr.aster found more than an adequate supply of good material from which he moulded a competent combine. There was a considerable lack of coordination in their attack but the individual brilliance of McGuirk, Lewis and Tecarr offset this shortcoming on many occasions and consequently the number of reverses that the Frosh received was smaller than it would have been if this individuality were absent. The sensational L. I. U. Freshmen downed the Ramlets, 26-24, in a hotly contested affair, the outcome of which was decided in the waning moments when Schwartz and Sheck fashioned the baskets that were he margin of victory The West Point Piebes fell before Freshman baskets, 44-2S and De Witt Clinton was an easy foe, bowing humbly, 45-20. The St. Johns Frosh. the Boy’s Club and the Austin B. C. were too powerful for Cav's charges. Regis and several other high school quintets succumbed to the basketeers of 1041. The achievements of McGuirk and Co. are not to be found in the Hall of Fame but their average does not do them justice. They lost many close decisions but still showed a good percentage at the end cf the season. McGuirk. Lewis and Tecarr have merited the superlatives employed by Fordham men in describing their talents and will in all probability add to their accomplishments on the graduation-stripped Varsity next season. 29R FOB I 5 5 8 %- SWIMMING William Schirmer 3S Cdptdni William Tidgewell 38 . . Manager Joe Farley ......... Coach 7 TTITH material that ran long in quality but lacking numerical strength, Coach Joe Farley under- JU took one of the most ambitious tank seasons yet attempted in the history of Fordham swimming. The already meager ranks of the Ram mermen were further thinned by the loss of key men through injury and scholastic mishaps. The records would indicate that the tank-men had fared badly, but with all their misfortunes the swimmers actually outdid themselves in faring as well as they did. The season was highlighted by the numerous sparkling performances of Bill Schirmer, captain and ace of the Farley crew. Nor content with swimming a corking anchor leg on the relay. Bill could usually be counted on for a duo of wins in either the 100, 220, or quarter mile events: at least once presenting the Ram with its only individual victories of the day. Particularly outstanding were Blondy's successful duels in the quarter mile at Princeton and against Meverhans of R. P. I. in the century and Caletri of N. Y. U. in the 220. The steady and untiring work of Syl Blish, Henry Smith. Jim Barnett and Schirmer usually tallied winning points for Fordham in the relay competitions even though the dearth of man power always necessitated the swimming of one and sometimes two other races by each member of the quartet. Though no record breaker itself, the Ram relay team was able to push opponents to equal or shatter standing marks on more than one occasion. A Maroon trio of Kelly. Finley and Barnett compelled the Princeton Medley squad to equal the Inter-collegiate record of 2:57:4 seconds before bowing in defeat while the Ram four man team performed no less creditably when they extended the West Point foursome to a new Academy record of 3:40:8. Though Farley will he hard put to replace Schirmer and Joe Quinn, the Maroon's breast-stroke specialist, both of whom are lost by graduation, yet the showing of the Sophomore members of this year's squad gave good reason for hoping that the situation was not without remedy. Also the return to action of Charlie Kelly and Jerry Desmond, confined to the side lines by injuries for the greater part of the year, should be a welcome boon to Fordham's water stock of next year. 299 3- i a n o o n GOLF Leo Tully 38 Captain Joseph Aylward 38 Manager I T time of writing, the Fordham varsity golf is faced with the task of emulating its immediate —L predecessor, the best in Rose Hills link history, which garnered a winning average of . 22. From the splendid 1937 aggregation only two men returned this spring; but fortunately both have proven themselves finished golfers. Leo Tully, captain of the 1938 crew, tees oif with a remarkable record; in three years of intercollegiate competition, he was never defeated. A leading amateur linksman and winner of many tournaments, he. of course, plays number one. The number two post will be rilled by another veteran, Jor. Mfkita. whose record while playing for the Maroon has been only marred twice. A Junior, he is a terrifically long hitter and leading authorities have praised his all-around skill and predict big things for him. The leading candidates for the four posts left open by last year’s graduation are Anthony Polce 40; Arthur Conaty ’40; John Burke 40: Vincent Kelly ‘39; Chester Xapiorski ‘38; George Grady ‘40; and Joe Comerford 38. Fordham golf has come a long way since its inauguration nine years ago. The ambitious ten game schedule arranged with the East’s leading universities for this campaign bears witness to its growth. Villanova. N. Y. L , St. Johns, Temple. St. Josephs, and C. C. X. Y. are among those on the card. A private course of championship quality has been engaged for all practise and home matches. Before selecting the final squad, a difficult trial of 72 holes was undergone by more than twenty candidates and only the most successful few. aforementioned, earned the right to bear the Maroon standard on the fairways. 300 [- C) R I ? 5 8 TENNIS Jeff Hogan '3Q . Cdptdin Joseph A. Larkin '38 Manager jTTTITH the coming of Spring 1938, Manager Joseph A. Larkin assembled the most formidable schedule in Fordham’s tennis history. Starting its campaign against a strong city rival, Man-hattan, on April 11, the team enters a seventeen match card with such outstanding opponents as Columbia, L. I. U., St. Johns, N. Y. U., Temple, Villanova, and closes the season by journeying to Boston College and Holy Cross. There will also be shorter trips to play Stevens at Hoboken, Newark at Newark and other near-Metropolitan rivals. The New F.ngland trip marks Fordham’s first over-night jaunt and will consume the better part of four days, with the Boston College game being played at Chestnut Hill on May 28, and Holy Cross being encountered at Worcester on May 30. The team, at writing, seems faced with an almost Herculean task, with Jetf Hogan, the team captain, being the only veteran to return. He should find himself ably supported by such skillful netmen as Henry Schmitt, Vic Ridder, Joeger, and Sophs, Johnson and Gilmartin, an aggregation which should develop considerably. The innovation of having the team play indoors in the gym, previous to the opening of the outdoor courts, finds the Fordhams awaiting the openct in splendid physical and playing condition. It is hoped that with this class of ‘38. tennis will graduate into the ranks of major sports at Fordham. 301 THE RIFLE TEAM John Hollwedel '38 Captain Albert Dunn 39 Manager Arthur Mulligan '39 Secretary Sergeant Joseph Smith, deml Coach THE Fordham R. O. T. C. Ritle Team, through the years, has made an enviable record tor itself. Under the able tutelage of Sergeant Joseph Smith. U. S. A., the ritle team has year after year swept through almost all cf its matches victoriously. Last season the team had the honor of winning the Hearst Trophy and also the Corps Area championship. The present team is captained by John Hollwedel. a veteran of three years competition. Its other Senior members are Joseph Mangiardi, Arthur Gallow, and James Hcrlihy, and these men hair the brunts of the firing. Matches are frequent for this team, since their schedule calls for a long list of all the prominent ritle organizations around the metropolitan area. They also engage in the various team competitions with other R. O. T. C. units and for the various trophies donated by patriotic and military groups. But in addition to all this actual competition, the members of the team must practice long hours under the critical eye of Sergeant Smith, and they must keep up a definite standard in these practice rounds in order to be eligible for competitive shooting. Many a late afternoon visitor to the campus has been startled cn pissing Collins Hall to hear a series of sharp reports issuing forth from the depths of the building. Fearful that some nerve-wracked professor might be perpetrating a horrible massacre on one of his classes, or vice versa, they have hastened to investigate, only to find all the commotion originated down on the range, in a little friendly target-practice. 302 F C) FRESHMAN BASEBALL 303 CHEER LEADERS jtl 3 ft o o i) VARSITY BASEBALL John Metoskie ’38 ... Captain James J. Gakrity i ... Managers Francis G. Lincks John Coffey.................................Coach The Foidham Varsity baseball team started the 1938 season with an 8-2 victory over a fair aggregation from St. Peters, April 2. The Upsala game, scheduled for April 6, was postponed as was the meeting with Boston University set for April 9, the former because of a surprise Spring “blizzard , the latter on account of the illness of Merrell Collard, B. U. mentor. Now. at time of writing, the Rams, generally admitted to he the weakest nine Coach Coffey's seventeen year career at Rose Hill, is set to beard the Princeton Tiger in its lair at old Nassau, Wednesday, April 13. Following the Princeton fracas, Fordham engages Lehigh at home, April 16 and then swings up into New England for Easter holiday meetings with Boston College. Holy Cross and Boston University. On return, the Rams encounter Rutgers April 30; Temple, May 4; Villa nova, May 7; Brooklyn College. May 11; George- 304 town. May 15; Boston College, M.iv 14; St. Johns, May 17; Army (at West Point), May 21; Seton Hall, May 26; Manhattan, May 28; New York University (away), May 30 and Long island University on June 1. The season closes with the traditional struggle with the Yale Bulldog” at New Haven, June 4. Mentor Jack Coffey faced the Maroon's first rival with Pete Petunoat firs: base; Fred Marcella at second; Meade Coyle, shortstop and John Metoskie at third. The outer regions were patrolled by an able trio of fly'chasers, Mike Hearn, Dom Principe and Bobby Hassmiller, Art Battler did the pitching and Bill Krywicki caught. Of these, only the infielders entered the list with the finesse that comes from experience; all save Petrino were regulars with the 1657 outfit that defeated Long Island University to take the year's mythical Metropolitan baseball crown. He, Petrino, replaces Johnny Druze, hailed as the greatest fielding first baseman ever to play for Fordham, who was lost to the 1938 aggregation by a disciplinary action which also deprived the Coffeymen of “Captain Joe Woit-koski and hurler, AI Gurske. The authorities ruling, which saw Metoskie named 305 -t$ M a G o o n Captain in place of Joe Woitkoski, seriously affected the Ram’s chances of repeating their 1937 record as by it, the liest infielder, the leading hitter and an ace pitcher were lost tc the Ram team. Coffey shouldn’t have too much trouble with the defensive works of either his infielders or outfielders. The former, especially, should show to advantage due to their experience as a unit: but the team's hitting is another story. In practice games with the Freshmen and in their opening fray, the Rams knocked down no fences. Only haphazard fielding and bases on balls enabled them to cross the plate as many as eight times against the Peacocks.” With the exception of Hearns booming triple to right, Sattler's sizzling two bagger down the left-field foul line and a few sharp singles. Captain John Metoskie and his mates looked far from impressive against a brand of pitching that other Ford ham teams would have rocked for a score or more of hits with a view to fattening batting averages for a possible lean day. Jack has pitcher-trouble too with his ace. Barris. lost by graduation and only Artie Sattler, a Senior who won four games in infrequent appearances the last two years, and Hank Borowy, a fast ball twirler from the Frosh, locking halfway good in early season tests. Perhaps, McGillicuddy, a curve ball pitcher, Aiken, Renters:! or one of the other candidates will develop into another Johnny Murphy, but, at present, the fan can only cross his fingers and hope for the best. With a weak hurling staff, and only one man, Mike Hearn, on hand who hit over .300 last year, everything possible is being done to get the Maroon through as tough a schedule as any Ram team has ever faced, but the task is no easy one and Lady Luck will have to smile often. As you read this, you know the record and if it reveals a better than .5C0 average for Fordham, then Jack Colley has turned in his greatest coaching job. 306 F O n i 9 5 s gr- BY WAY OF PARTING Days of June withhold your glory. Let the Maytime linger long. Summer now will close our story, F.nd our journey, still our song. Sweeter seems each treasured hour As it slips into the past. Sec the clock upon the tower Moving ever, ever fast. Though we've finally run the race, lads. Though the garland's ours to seize. There's a shadow on each face, lads. That we turn into the breeze; All the memories come yearning From the perished years before. As we leave these halls of learning. To return, now, nevermore. For the twilight closes o'er us 'Neath the rusted arch of years, As we hark the dying chorus When all dreams dissolve to tears. Though now our paths must wander From these scenes we've loved so well.

Every pager effects tne inspired work ofthe editor, William Dc R. Taaffe, and his staff. And whi e the equally arduous tasks of the business manager, Edward McGinty, may not be quite so apparent, it is well to remember that the book would never have been published save for his persistent endeavors in organizing the cash. • And we, who have been privileged to work with you, have enjoyed every step of the way. For no matter how many yearbooks we may have publishec in the thirty years we have been specializing in this exacting field, every college annual is a challenge in itself. A challenge to our ability to work with the staffs charged with its creation, a challenge to our ingenuity to assist in its originality of format and content., a challenge to our capacity to organize the eight essentia gears in yearbook production so that a powerful and distinctive result is assured. • So we cannot close the last forms of this edition without endeavoring to say in cold type how warmly we have enjoyed working with you, how masterful a job we feel you have done, and how fervently we look forward to working with future Maroon staffs with the same sincerity of purpose which has signalized the creation of this book from cover to cover.
