FOLEY, '35 S we passed between the tall, imposing columns which grace the front of our beloved Prep, we were filled with joy, apprehension and sorrow. Joy at starting a new lifeg apprehension as to its consequences, and sorrow because we had just left our homes and loved ones. It was in September 1931 that we departing Seniors, a small group of young' sters--fifteen, to be exact-began our days of walking the corridors of Georgetown Prep. Of the original fifteen, ten of us now finish our High School days-our four happy, happy years at Georgetown Prep. We were representative of various parts of the Eastern United States. Our largest number was from Washington and Chevy Chase. From this group comes jim Toomey, hardy left end of this year's football teamg Billy Dettweiler, who has well represented the school on the fairway, the diamond and the basketball court, and Steve McMahon, our class philosopher. From Brooklyn came Ed Flanagan, our class President, and Jim Foley. From the sunny southlancl-- Atlanta, Georgia, suh,-arrived Hughsie Spalding, our Pres- ident of the Yard and a sterling athlete. From Manhattan came two members of which that borough may well be proud -Cletus Keating and Chick Renehan, the friends of all. Altoona, Pennsylvania, sent Howard Pennington, Captain of our football team and an eminent scholar. While Jersey City contributed Tony Scatuorchio, our ideal of a real class- mate. We were capably handled in class, having been instructed in the rudiments of Latin by Mr. William E. Welch, SJ., Z1 The Blue and Gray who is to be ordained a priest of God this very month. The Messrs. Quain, SJ., and Meany, SJ., and Mr. Joseph Gard- ner also played a great part in our early training. A success- ful year for us, not only in studies but also in athletics. When we returned to the Prep in the fall of 1932, we came with the assurance of boys who know the ropes. We looked down on the lowly Freshmen, feeling the Sopho- more's power to its Nth degree. We brought with us two new members, Frank Miranda from Havana, Cuba, who in- stantly became one of us by his gifted personality, and John O'Conor of Cincinnati, Ohio, who shone brilliantly in the classroom from the very beginning. This year we were taught Latin and English by Mr. Robert Arthur, SJ. We all liked him very much, having met him as Junior football coach the previous year. In Greek we were under the able tutelage of Mr. E. A. Quain, SJ., who endeared himself to us by mak- ing his classes interesting by means of practical jokes. Again we struggled through quadratics and radicals under Mr. Gardner 's instructions. Mr. Gardner also taught some of us the fundamentals of football for we had grown to Varsity material. We advanced in great strides, abandoning our Baculus for Caesar, our shy, frightened expression for one of lordliness. For we were a step nearer our goal, a stride closer to Virgil. 1933! Ah! the joys of this year, the sweet taste of a victorious athletic team, the distinction of being Juniors! How big we all areg how small the young boys look. This year is truly a great one! We have many new additions to our class. A new day-scholar in the form of Donald Driscoll -a small man, but studious and clear thinking. Again we are indebted to Atlanta for sending us Jim Branch, Georgia's 22' The Blue and Gray emissary of good will. From the Windy City came Bill Sex- ton, whom we immediately took into our fold. Detroit parted with Gus Clemens who shortly became one of us. Brooklyn sent us our stalwart football player, Ed Blackburn. And Virginia contributed Tom Weldon, a rabbit on his feet. This year in class we were introduced to Cicero 'by Mr. James C. O'I-lara, SJ., who made the periods Hy. Mr. O,Hara also served English to us on a silver platter. We met F'ather Berry for the first time in class and all agreed that it was an aid to many otherwise dull hours of Physics and Geometry classes just to have Father Berry as instructor. Mr. Devaney, SJ., taught the Greek students Xenophon9', while Mr. O'Brien, S.-I., handled the Spanish classes. Mr. Roman taught us the rudiments of French as only he can teach it. This year we met Father O'Connell for the first time in the Debating Classes. A pleasant year, enjoyed by all. But we were anxious Lo become fourth year men. Seniors! We achieved here the joy that comes once in a lifetime! The fruit of four years labor. The Freshmen looked like Midgets and we felt as if we owned the school. New additions included Austin Parks and Tom Murray, both of Brooklyn, who made themselves at ease immediately, Lloyd Rice of Frederick, Md., who was our representative on the All-Prep basketball team, and Bob Murphy of New Jer- sey whose infectious good humor soon registered him in our good will. It was with no little sorrow that we found our old friend Father Haitz missing from the faculty, but he was ably replaced by Father Nolan. Athletics went well for us and we fairly glittered in class. Latin, English, Greek, Religion and Debate were taught us 23 The Blue and Gray by Rev. Joseph B. O'Connell, SJ. And it is with a feeling of genuine sorrow that we part with him, for in Father O'Connell the Class of '35 sees the perfect priest, teacher, and man. Truly a friend of all the boys, Father O'Connell spent many tedious hours making plans to aid the weaker students of our group and devising means to make his classes more pleasant. His classes were indeed a joy to attend-in so far as attending classes can be called joyous--and we are sure that, search as you may, there never will be found one whom we so respect and like as Father O'Connel1. We continued our Spanish under Father Perez-Vargas who enlivened the class greatly by his quick wit and ardent desire to help us. Mr. Belknap taught us French, while Mr. Roman ably handled Modern History. Mr. Gardner saw us through a half year of Trigonometry and made an other- wise exceedingly dull class very interesting. This year naturally saw many of our members on the gridiron, court and diamond and the members of the golf and tennis squads covered themselves with glory. And now it is done. Four happy years. Four years in which we learned many things. Four years of pleasant con- tact with one another. Four years with very few moments which are not real joys to remember. But our Class History would not be complete without some mention of our guiding spirit, the man who became endeared to us from the moment we entered the portals of the school-our Headmaster, Rev- erend Robert S. Lloyd, SJ. May we take this opportunity to thank Father Lloyd for all he has clone for usg to thank 24 The Blue and Gray our kind, patient teachers who taught us just about all we know. We thank you, Georgetown Prep-Our Alma Mater -and there is not one of us who is not proud to have been one of your members. We are your sons, you are our 'Nourishing Mother'. Maybe in years to come, we will come back to you, walk once more through your lovely halls. But for the present-FAREWELL TO GEORGETOWN PREP! 1. 'XL 4 -bn .Lf sg :GD5 57' 145 ZS?

Shhh! A news bulletin .... Earthquake in Crete .... I wonder, now .... Can it be possible .... Aeneas? . . . Anchises? . . . Cloanthus? . . . ummmm. Suddenly I sat bolt upright and gazed about me. Then it all came back to me. I, Marcus Catullus, was on the Pristis, flagship of that intrepid explorer and daring navi- gator, Aeneas. I had left Troy in sore spirits, having wit- nessed the death of my father at the hands of cruel, heartless Achilles. But the promise of new lands, new adventures, and the wild adventure of the sea had soon put all thoughts from my head, except a blinding respect and devotion for that ond who had saved me in my hour of great need, Aeneasfthe father of the expedition. He had taken me into his fold and my secret ambition and longing was that some day I might have the honor of laying down my life for him. All this passed through my mind as I lay on the crude ha.mmock where I had been drousing, when suddenly my blissful reverie was interrupted by a slap on the shoulder. Looking up, I beheld my dearest friend, Octavius, leaning over me. His face, usually so calm and dreamy, was flushed with excitement, and his voice sounded unnatural as he cried out: O my friend, we have at last arrived at our goal, we are approaching Crete, the land of our great ancestor, Teucerl 33 The Blue and Gray Come. Rise up, as Aeneas is planning to beach our ship on the white beachf' All thoughts of sleep were forgotten and I sprang to my feet and went to the side with Octavius. Yes, he had been right. There ahead of us, lay Crete. The dream of each and every one of us, with its white, smooth, sandy beach and its cool, almost sacred groves. Hurriedly I noted that this was the object of our long dreary voyages, the climax of our adventures. I thought of the joy which had finally come to brave Aeneas as he stood,-a model in bronze-looking at this, his kingdom. My heart sang with joy at the pros- pect of settling in this land of beauty and health. By nightfall we had the ships beached, their high sterns pulled up on shore. Ac dusk, with the fires just starting to burn, Aeneas summoned the whole expedition to him. Here, in the cool, calm evening, we learned that we were to build a city, to settle our race, to live and die in the successor to Ilion, Pergama, Little Troy. We heard these great plans from the lips of our god-like leader, spoken in his simple, masterful way. But one incident overshadowed this happy day. For when father Anchises offered the sacrifices, the omens read that there was the threatening cloud of death on the horizon. The city arose like a pillar into the clear, blue sky. And within a month we were settled, living in our simple dwell- ings, enjoying life and caring and thinking little of our former woes. Many of us had married, and by the end of the long winter we had become permanently settled in our new land-Pergama. But by this time the ill omen had been forgotten. Until one day-never to be forgotten-my friend and comrade Octavius, complained of a stiffness in his legs. 34 The Blue and Gray We thought nothing of it until a few days later when he be- came terribly ill and went to bed. Soon other cases of this terrible stiffening of the muscles began to spring up all over the city. I remembered the omen and thought of my friend, lying in the little room which I shared with him. Was this to be the end of all our happiness together? Was this to be the reward for brave Aeneas? Would the gods be so cruel? A few hours later I went to our home and there I saw Octavius, paler than the pillow upon which he was lying, and the heat was terrific. The hush of death was in the room. My heart filled my throat, suddenly dry. A tear trickled clown my check. For there before me, in the indescribable agony of that dread disease, in the cruel torments of the last moments of life in this world, lay my best friend. One who had witnessed with me those starving days at Troy, one who had seen with me the guileful horse of the Greeks, who had joined me in lighting for the glory of Priam. He was now in the throes of the plague, and I, whom he had befriended and loved, was powerless to help him. I walked over to his bed and gazed down at his drawn countenance. His eyes showed a flicker of recognition and he tried to smile, Brave fellow! A true, sturdy comrade of our gallant leader! A worthy Trojan! I spoke a few, useless words to him. Words which could not even approach the true feeling in my breast. He looked at me, and slowly and painfully spoke: We have journeyed far together, O Marcus, and now my share is done. The gods call to me, and Hades awaits my weary body. But you, O my faithful friend, must con- tinue. You must follow the brave Aeneas until he finds our ancient mother, the city of our ancestors. Please, O my dear 35 r The Blue and Gray Marcus, offer a supplication for me on the sands of the shore that is truly ours. I go now to Jupiter. He gasped once, writhed in his agony, and then-peace came to him. I could not speak. As he lay there I thought within my- self that this man, whom I was proud to call my friend, was a true Trojan, and it was his type that would find for Aeneas a great nation, a nation worthy of the lofty walls of Troy. I walked slowly from the room of my dead comrade. I must go to our leader, cell him of my friend's death. As 1 came to the palace of our fathers he was sitting in the shad- ows, a thoughtful look on his handsome face. His face, usually deeply bronzed and healthy, was sallow and deep rings showed under his eyes due to lack of rest. He looked up as I entered but did not seem to recognize me. I ad- dressed him: O my worthy father, I have come upon a mission of sadness. For it is my task to report to you another loss to our gallant band. Aeneas, hero of Troy, sighed and looked at me sadly. Who is the latest victim of the gods? he asked, almost plaintively. It is Qctavius, the son of Secundus, my faithful, noble friend, O my esteemed leader,', I answered. My poor Marcus , he said, That the gods should take one whom you loved so. Can Almighty Jove know the dire- ful things he brings upon my wretched comrades? These last words, spoken in all sincerity, give a better in- sight into my leader's character than any other words writ- ten by man. For this brief sentence shows clearly his line of thought. It is so typical of Aeneas, thinking always of 36 l'he Blue and Gray his friends, never of himself. A true and mighty son of Ilion! A worthy successor of the noble Priam! I left him sitting, staring at the wall of his room. What thoughts passed through that mighty mind, I have no ink- ling. But I am sure that they were thoughts, not of Aeneas, but of his companions and their fates. I could go on telling the heart-rendering scenes which were the result of that plague, telling of the tears and lamen- tations of the people as they saw their loved ones die in terrible anguish, telling of the piles of dead in the streets, telling of the eerie glare of the funeral pyres at night, illum- inating the whole city of Little Troy in a weird, reddish glow, telling of the agonies of our brave leader, telling of his courage in visiting his sick companions, exposing himself to the horror of the disease, but it would be useless and is better left unwritten, as the gods will. But I can assure you, there were reenacted in that little city, sights which I hope may never again strike on the worId. A few days after the death of Octavius, Aeneas summoned the survivors before him in the market-place. He did not delay, but in a mighty Voice, hopeful even after our horrible misfortunes, he addressed us: O brave companions, the gods and fates seem to be con- trary to Aeneas and his band. But be of stout heart, for last night the Penates, our household gods, favored my humble self with a dream. They, wonderful deities, ap- peared to me in the early morning and told me that we have come to this place and have believed it to be our father- land. But this is not true, O my allies, for we seek Italy. Therefore, on the morrow we will leave this place of plague 37 The Blue and Gray and sail over the blue seas in search of Italy, the land of our forefathers, the land of Dardanusln So saying, he stepped down from his platform and strode to his tent. Cheer upon cheer rang upon the death-laden air. We were at last to leave Pergama, no longer a place of beauty, but the torment of Hades. We were to sail again on the clear blue sea, under the serene sky, in search of new adventure. The day of departure dawned clear and bright, and wc were soon gliding over the placid waves, leaving Crete far in the distance. As I gazed back upon the fated land, I could hear the voice of Cctavius saying on his death-bed: You must follow the brave Aeneas until he finds our ancient mother, the city of our ancestors. O Octavius, if you were but here with me now, you too would become again one of our number, seeking the ances- tral land of Troy, hoping to find it one day. And you too would be standing, as I, wondering if at last the fates will smile upon us kindly. As I stood on the deck of the Pristis, I suddenly felt a hand upon my shoulder. I try to shake it off. Go away .... Aeneas .... Pristis .... Octavius .... All right. I am awake, Mister. The radio? Thanks for turning it off. Get to work? Yes. Certainly. I am going to study my Virgil .... Good stuff.

Another year has passed and it it now our turn to say, Farewell to Georgetown Preplv To the undergratuates and to the world in general, this is just the last word of another graduating class. But to the Class of 1935 it is a phrase filled with sorrow and regret at leaving the seat of so many hours of joy. Farewell, Georgetown Prep! We have seen you in many phases of your active life and we are proud to have been enrolled within your stately portals. We have contributed our meager share towards your great success and we hope it has brought you at least a small measure of the glory which is rightly yours. We have seen you lead the Maryland Province Examinations with flying colors. And we have seen an almost unending stream of boys obtaining 41 The Blue and Gray honor Cards from you. We have seen you in all your glory on the athletic fields-your imposing 22-20 triumph over Gonzaga, your unmerited defeat before thousands in Central Stadium. For four years we have followed your team to New York, there to carry on a glorious name. We have followed you in the Washington Post Basketball Tourna- ment, where cruel defeat stalked you in the finals, losing a hard-fought battle by one point. We have watched you strut ,way down in Virginia at the Washington and Lee Tournament. We have seen you lifted to new heights by our sterling golf players, winning the highest laurels ever to be gathered by a prep school. While enrolled in your roster we have witnessed the dedi- cation of our new tennis courts, of which we are rightly proud. And we have seen our wonderful Chapel rise before our eyes, a Shrine of Our Lady which will be used by our sons in the future. We have seen you triumphant in the debating hall, in the Elocution Contests. We have witnessed the solemn reception tendered the Apostolic Delegate by you. Ah, yes, Georgetown Prep, truly we have seen you, the 'light of victory shining from your cupola, the sad tones of defeat ringing in your portals, but we have seen you in all your glory-a real Prep School! We have seen three other Senior Classes depart from your doors, three separate groups of well educated, Catholic men. And it is our fervent hope that we too, may carry on, living up to the grave responsi- bility you have placed on us-living up to your good name! And so, Georgetown Prep, we must say good-bye after four happy years, never-to-be-forgotten years, four years of true championship, four years of true happiness! FAREWELL! GEORGETOWN PREP! 42 The Blue and Gray CATHOLIC ACTION ' When we leave Georgetown Prep we will embark upon new careers as well educated Catholic young men. We will 'enter into a world of confusion. Will we be able to remem- ber the sound principles of the Catholic Faith taught us by the Jesuit Fathers? Will we be able to practice and spread the Faith? Oh, yes, is the answer. But how can we spread the Faith and encourage its practice in our own homes and country today? The answer is found in Catholic Action by each and every Catholic today. There are two things which must be done by everyone in order to participate in Catholic Action. These are not op- tional but they are ordered by God Himself and therefore must be obeyed. The first is to love God. Before we can hope to become soldiers in the religious battle waged against Satan and his forces we must know and love our General. We must also be prepared personally to drive out the forces of sin with a strong will, a clear conscience and an ardent desire to do right. We must obey through moral necessity Gocl's first commandment- Love the Lord thy God . The second great Catholic Action is also a labor of love, the love of our neighbor. By this is meant we should love our spiritual brothers and aid them in time of need. How is this to be done? By refusing, for instance, to aid the gov- ernment of Mexico in its reign of hersyg by refusing to pour money into its treasury through an extensive tourist trade. We can aid our missionariesg we can avoid indecent movies. And in many other ways we can become active participants in this Action called Catholic. Surely today such action is most desirable to relieve the intellectual and moral confu- sion with which we are beset. 43 0039 - IGI-1 SCHOOL NOTES New Additions in Our Lady's Chapel The small altar for the Oratory, dedicated to St. Cather- ine of Siena, has lately been erected. The altar table is of tavernelle marble. The marble panel under the table and the supporting columns are of lareclo chiaro. The center 'medallion is framed with a crown of thorns of tavernelle, with bronze letters on alps green marble. The altar is the gift of a generous donor. We wish also to acknowledge the following gifts to the chapel: a Processional Cross of polished brass, celtic in form and ornamentation with a silver corpus and scroll on an oak staff, a Ciborium and Chalice of sterling silver, gold plated, with celtic ornamentationg a smaller chalice of solid silver, gold platedg a Lavabo cut glass cup with silver cover, gold plated, a Crucifix for the Oratory of statuary bronze, gilded, with carved corpus of lime wood lacquered with an ivory tone, also two small Candelabra of statuary bronze. It is with deep sense of gratitude that we pray for the kind donor who has made all these beautifui new additions possible. Ordinations at Woodstock Those of the graduating class of '35 who have spent four years at the Prep will ever remember their first year teacher of Latin and English, Mr. William E. Welch, SJ., and it is with the greatest pleasure that we learn of Mr. Welch's forth- 44 The Blue and Gray coming ordination to the Priesthood. That great dignity will be conferred on our former teacher on Sunday, June 23rd, in the Chapel of the Sacred Heart at Woodstock Col- lege, Woodstock, Md. The ordaining Prelate will be His Excellency, Most Reverend Michael Curley, D.D., Arch- bishop of Baltimore. Mr. Welch received his High School and College training at St. Joseph's in Philadelphia. He entered the Society of jesus September 7, 1923. He taught at the Prep from 1929 'to 1932, when he went to Woodstock to study Theology. He will say his first solemn mass in the church of the Blessed Sacrament at Trenton, N. J., Sunday, June Both, at 10:30 A. M. Through these columns we wish to extend to Father Welch our sincerest congratulations, and say that we hope he may enjoy many happy, fruitful years as a Priest of God! Annual Prize Debate The Annual Prize Debate was held this year on Friday afternoon, May 10th, in the School Auditorium. The room was fittingly decorated for the occasion with all the spring garlands that the Prep grounds abound in at this season of the year. A large map of the Great Lakes Region was used for illustrations during the debate which was on the subject of the immediate ratification of the St. Lawrence Waterways Treaty. We can give all four debaters no higher praise than that given by Father F. Fay Murphy who announced the judges decision at the end of the debate. Father Murphy, who for some time has had charge of the Freshman-Sopho- more Debating Society at the Hilltop, said that in his ex- perience in inter-collegiate Freshmen debates he had heard no better debaters than the four young men who spoke in 45 The Blue and Gray this yearis Georgetown Prep Prize Debate. The judges had much difficulty not only in picking the winning team, but also in selecting the best debater of the afternoon. In fact, so long did the Reverend Judges take to consider their deci- sion, that the audience became restless. The final decision was in favor of the affirmative. And the Naylon Medal for the best speaker was awarded to James A. Branch, of Atlanta, Ga. The Debate Resolved: That the United States Should Immediately Ratify the St. Lawrence Waterway Treaty. Affirmative: James A. Branch,,35, Robert R. Troutman,'36. Negative: John F. O'Conor,'35, James A. Foley,'35. Alternates: John F. Schroder, '36, Thomas F. Weldon, '35. Anthony F. Scaturochio, President of the Philalethic De- bating Society, presided. After a few introductory remarks he presented the speakers in turn. All of the speakers gave fine rebuttals, but those of the affirmative side were a bit more convincing and on that score the Judges made their final decision. The Judges were: Reverend F. Fay Murphy, S.-I., Rev- erend A. F. X. Devereux, S.-I., and Reverend James M. Murphy, SJ., all of Georgetown University. May Devotions Each day during this month that is set aside by the Church for special devotion to the Mother of God, a short devotion was held in our Chapel in her honor. After the singing of a Hymn to Mary a short paper was read by one of the boys. 46 The Blue and Gray This was followed by the recitation of her Litanies and the Memorare . A second hymn closed the devotion. The following were the titles and authors of the papers: May Holy Mother of God Mother of Christ D. Huges Spalding Edward Flanagan Mother of Divine Grace Anthony F. Scatuorchio Mother Most Pure Mother Undefiled James A. Branch Robert Murphy Mother Most Amiable James A. Foley Mother of Good Counsel Howard L.

Schroder New Prep Signs and Entrance Lights People driving to or from Washington by the way of the Rockville Pike will no longer need to say as they are passing the Prep, I wonder what that impressive building is? And such a beautiful Chapellv No, because we now have two neat, rich looking signs placed about three hundred yards above and below the entrance. They are of gold lettering on a black background. The signs are held in a rustic, cedar framework. There is a smaller one of the same design at the entrance drive. Two new lamps, on bronzed pillars also grace the entrance. The Golf shop T Due to the interest and generosity of the members of thc Golf Team, Mr. Emmet, Director and Coach of Golf, has been able to Ht up part of the gymnasium as a Golf Shop and dressing room. Part of the gym has been curtained off, tables, easy chairs and floor boards, painted in a light green and white motiff have been placed about the room, and through the courtesy of several sporting goods companies considerable literature on golf has been obtained. Cases have been installed and a fairly complete line of golf sup- plies are on sale. Mr. Emmet plans to use the shop to ad- vantage during the summer months, when the course will be opened to a limited membership of gentlemen who live in this section. At present, the visiting teams find it a pleasant 48 The Blue and Gray and convenient dressing and rest room. An added feature is the large scrap book, containing clippings of Georgetown victories, past and present. Our New Prospectus During the early part of May some three thousand copies of a fine, descriptive, illustrated folder of Georgetown Prep were mailed to alumni and friends of the school. This pros'- pectus has some of the latest and most beautiful pictures of the school and we hope that those who have received them will be able to place them in the hands of boys who may be interested in a school like the Prep. Condolences We offer our most sincere condolences to Father Nolan, Prefect of Discipline, on the recent death of his sister, Miss Anne Nolan. R. I. P. Lenten Talks During Lent the Rev. Robert S. Lloyd, SJ., Headmaster, gave an interesting series of Lenten Talks at the Baltimore Cathedral during the noon mass. The talks were very well received and published each week in the Baltimore Catholic Review. The final talk on Easter Sunday was broadcast at the ten-thirty mass and repeated without the microphone at the noon mass. The titles of these sermons were as follows: 1. The Modern Judas 4. The Modern Caiphas 2. The Modern Barabbas 5. The Modern Magdalene 3. The Modern Pilate 6.

It is with deep regret that THE BLUE AND GRAY chronicles the recent death of Major General Harry Lee, whose son, Harry, Jr., is a student at our school. General Lee at the time of his death was commandant of the Marine Base at Quantico, Va. In his last moments on Monday, May 13th, General Lee was attended by the Catholic Naval Chaplin and also by Rev. Father Rector. On Wednesday, May 15th, a solemn requiem mass was held in the Post Gymnasium at Quantico at which the entire Post was present, either under arms or at the religious service. Some of the students from the school and also the Fathers were present and Rev. Father Rector delivered a brief tribute to the Gen- eral. Burial services were later held at Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors. All the members of the Freshman Class were present on this occasion. General Lee had a long and illustrious career in the serv- ice of the U. S. M. C. He entered the Marine Corps during the war with Spain. In 1918 he commanded the Sixth Marines in France and saw seven major engagements in eight months. Later he served as military governor of Santo Domingo, the only marine oH'icer ever to hold such a post. His list of citations for allantr on the western front to- - .g 1 Y Q , ether with the decorations iven him b France and the g g Y U. S. A., is most impressive. The General is survived by Mrs. Lee and five children to whom we all offer our sym- pathy. R.I.P. 51 VJKQI - 'li EXCHANGES The Beacon, Fordham Prep, New York City. The first magazine that meets our editorial eyes is The Beacon. The Beacon worthily deserves the high praise the experts give it. Smart in make-up, concise in editorial thought, and widely imitated. Joseph T. Dean gives us an historical sketch of Napoleon, and we learn that where tact- ical genius is shown in the military field, blood is always spilt -innocent blood.

This past season saw the Prep once again building for future greatness. The call for candidates was issued on September 26th. Coach Joe Gardner takes up the reins for his fifth season of football with the Little Hoyas,'. He looks in vain for the Nees, Keatings and Leslies, boys who started their Prep career with Mr. Gardner's coaching career. They are no more to be seen on the fields of Garrett Park.. In their places are twenty ardent lads lighting to grasp the positions va- cated by these great football players. The first game at Loyola, Baltimore, found the Blue and Gray playing an experienced Loyola High team. The first half was a scoreless tie, but Loyola was pressing the Prep constantly throughout the half. The break came at the beginning of the second half, Loyola scoring three times to bring the total to 19. The kicking of Lloyd Rice, Ed Flanagan's fine running and passing were features of the Prep offense and brought the 'Little Hoyas' close to a score on more than one occasion. Captain Pennington and Berwin Morse were the main bulwarks of the defense. Previous to this game Hughes Spalding, the most experienced back of last season's squad was lost to Georgetown for the season with a broken collar bone sustained in a practice game. Diminutive Tony Scatuorchio, a fleet- footed back of whom great things were expected was also lost to the team before seeing any action. The season's next encounter found the team playing the football of its life. They seemed inspired as they outplayed a strong Gon- zaga team from start to finish. A snappy and well drilled Prep team passed to perfection. Ed Flanagan to Lloyd Rice,-the pass- 57 The Blue and Gray ing combination-proved too much for the Purple and White. The first quarter saw the Blue and Gray romping all over the field. Early in the second quarter came the first score. With the ball on the Prep's own 45-yard line, Ed Flanagan passed to Rice, who took the ball on the Gonzaga 45-yard stripe and ran to the 36-yard line. After a series of line plays failed, Flanagan again passed to Rice who raced 30 yards to score. The next tally came in the third period when the Little Hoyas started a drive from midfield, marching directly to the goal by way of another passing attack, Flanagan to Bob Murphy, Flanagan to Rice. Cletus Keating scored the extra point, taking a pass from Flanagan. Gonzaga's score came late in the fourth period as the result of a Georgetown fumble. Luebkert, veteran Gonzaga back passed to Curran for their lone score.. After this victory over Gonzaga the Prep was right in line for Prep schools honors. These were suddenly smashed by a surprising defeat at the hands of a hard lighting St. Alban's eleven. The game played on the Alban's Held proved to be their game from start to finish. In the second period the Saints scored twice and added a third touchdown in the fourth period. Carver and Soule, Alban's star backs, were the main feature in these offensive drives. Elkin Franklin played the greatest offensive game for the Prep-his run- ning and hard hitting was a feature. The defensive work of Jim Toomey, Morse and Pennington deserve high commendation. The game ended with the Prep on the short end of a 20-0 score. The last home game saw the Prep playing St. John's to a 7-7 tie. In the first period of this game the Little Hoyas staged one of the most concerted drives ever seen out at the Prep. Offensively the team reached its peak. After taking the ball on an exchange of kicks on its own 40-yard line the team drove to St. John's 15-yard stripe, where the cadets held temporarily. Lloyd Rice then skirted end for 15 yards and the touchdown. Ed Blackburn place-kicked the extra point. The next three periods saw the Prep playing far below the form of the opening period. St. John's drove into Prep terri- tory near the end of the third quarter. The Blue and Gray defen- sive tightened for a couple of downs and then came the break that brought the tying touchdown. A pass, Nugent to Avignone, was completed on the Prep's 40-yard line. Avignone ran the remaining 40 yards to the score. Schade, the Cadets' halfback, plunged for 58 'l'lze Blue and Gray the extra point. The remainder of the game saw the ball see-sawing back and forth with neither side able to score. I The annual intersectional game at New Rochelle, N. Y., on Thanksgiving Day saw Iona defeating the Prep 28-13. A crowd of 2,000 spectators watched Iona's heavier team score over the Garrett Parkers with a brace of touchdowns in the second and third periods. After a scoreless first period, Iona made its flrst touchdown with Johnny Lissner racing twenty yards for the tally. A few minutes later Joe Flannery crashed the line for the second touchdown. Be- fore the half ended Bob Murphy, Georgetown halfback, had the stands on their feet with the most spectacular run of the game. After intercepting an Iona pass Bob flew down the sidelines to the Prep's firsrt score. In the second half the Iona forward wall kept pushing back the small Georgetown line to touchdown territory and in the third period Iona scored two more touchdowns. In the clos- ing minutes of play although knowing themselves beaten the Little Hoyasv never faltered. Cletus Keating, after a neat catch of Ed Flanagan's pass, almost broke away for a score but slipped on the muddy field. But Flanagan's accurate arm again found its mark- this time with Rice at the receiving end-and Lloyd went over for the touchdown. The extra point was added a moment later when Flanagan threw a pass to John Schroder, who made a spectacular catch, falling full length in the mud. Then came the final whistle. In this game Elkin Franklin, Georgetown's star halfback, looked like the best man on the field defensively.. His backing up of the line was, as many spectators remarked, the greatest feature of the game. His great work was rewarded a few weeks after the close of the sea- son when he was elected to captain next year's eleven. May he guide the next season's Prep team to great football heights! A RESUME OF BASKETBALL The call for Basketball candidates found twenty anxious aspir- ants contending for positions on the squad. The prospects were very dark, there being only one letterman from last year's squad- Hughes Spalding, Captain. After a few days the squad was limited to the following: Forwards-Billy Dettweiler, Bob O'Shaughnessy, Ray Higgins, Austin Parksg Guards-Spalding, DeSales Powell, Tony 59 The Blue and Gray Scatuorchio, Elkin Franklin, and Bobby Troutmang at the center post were Lloyd Rice and Ken Cummings. Lack of experienced players proved a great handicap to the Prep in the early part of the season. Of the Hrst six games the Prep lost five. Rockville won 26-155 Central took the toll of the Prep 35-13 and again on the Garrett Park court 29-185 Chevy Chase won in the last minute of play 14-133 the Prep's top rivals, Gonzaga, defeat- ed the Blue and Gray 37-215 standing out amid these defeats was one victory scored against Landon School, 28-12. The St. Alban's victory, which came after this string of defeats, ushered in a series of eight straight victories for the Little Hoyas . In this Albans' game Rice scored 10 points and Billy Dettweiler 9. The final score was 25-24. Friends school was the next in line- Rice again stars with 13 points. Score 29-23. The third victory was chalked up against St. John's 28-25. St. John's led at half time 17-9. The third quarter saw the Prep making a line comeback, with Rice and Spalding dropping one basket after another.. At the end of the quarter the score stood Georgetown 18, St. Johrfs 17. St. John's had failed to score throughout the third quarter. St. John's never regained the lead. Lloyd Rice took away the scoring honors with nine points, Hughes Spalding just behind him with eight. This was the Prep's first victory in the private school series. The next game with Gonzaga saw the Little Hoyas defeating the favorites in this series. The score at half time was 10-6 in Gonzaga's favor. The third period ended with the purple still in the lead 18-13. The last quarter saw the little Hoyas steadily gaining on the Gonzaga quintet until the score stood 20-20 with seconds to go. At this point Billy Dettweiler came through with a quick basket to break the tie, and give the game to the Prep. Billy led the scoring with 4 Field goals. The next game against Landon School saw Rice leading the Prep to victory with 19 points all to himself. Score 36-17. Friends School was the next to fall before the Georgetown avalanche. Bob O'Shau- ghnessy led the way with 12 points., Once again the Blue and Gray overcame a heavy lead which St. Alban's built up, to defeat that team in a great second half 37-30. Rice was again in rare form, scoring 19 points. Kendall School was added to the string of vic- tories to the tune of 23-11, Rice scoring 13 points. 60 The Blue and Gray The string came to an abrupt end in an important game with St- John's. Another defeat was suffered at the hands of Chevy Chase. Loyola of N. Y. C. fell before the Prep in a closely contested inter- sectional game. The Prep took away the laurels 18-16. The second game with Rockville proved a victory for the Prep with Hughes Spalding and Lloyd Rice leading the way. The next game and final one on the schedule was one of the best games of the season although the Little Hoyas lost. Western, 345 Georgetown, 21. The score at half time stood 12-3 in favor of the Prep, this against one of the best teams in Wash- ington. In the second half a substitute forward on the Western quintet kept dropping them in from outside for a total of five twin pointers. This turned victory into defeat for the Prep. Score, West- ern 34g Georgetown, Z1.. In the Prep school league St. John's created a triple tie for first place by deafeating Gonzaga on March first. St. john's and Gon- zaga played off and St. Iohn's won, 27-21. The following day the Little Hoyasi' went to the George Washington Gym for the finals with St. John's. The score at half time was 10-10. But at the start of the second half the johnnies put on a spurt which placed them in the lead. They never relinquished this lead. Elkin Franklin turned in the best basketball for the Prep, playing from start to finish with dogged courage. Billy Dettweiler was high scorer with Counselman, of St. John's, each turning in a total of six points. So ended the season! After a poor start with the Prep losing five out of six, Coach Gardner brought his young proteges out of the rut of defeat to win ten of the next fourteen games. Eleven victories and nine defeats for the season is a record of which the team may well be proud. A RESUME OF THE BASEBALL SEASON In the middle of March, amid the blast of winter winds and oc- casional ilurries of snow, the sound that strikes a cord of happy memory in the heart of any old timer, was heard on the fields of Garrett Park. A ball! the crack of a bat! the stinging handl- the baseball season was under way amid circumstances a little more inconvenient than Biloxi. Georgetown Prep inaugurates the season here in Washington-the first nine out for baseball in the District 61 BASEBALL TEAM The Blue and Gray and vicinity. About twenty-Five candidates responded for Varsity and Junior ball., Prospects were not too good, inexperience again had to be overcome. At the pitching the leading contenders were Desales Powell, Lloyd Rice, by nature an outfielder, and Billy Deta- weiler. It looked as though Pennington would bear the brunt of all the catching. At first base Rice and Powell would alternate with Steve McMahon held in, reserve. Bob Murphy and Elkin Franklin were fighting it out for second base, with Austin Parks and Billy Dettweiler at shortstop. The hot corner saw Berwin Morse and Bobby Troutman vying with one another with Morse Hnally taking to the outfield. The remaining outfielders were Bob Renehan, Bobby O'Shaughnessy, John O'Conor and Francisco Zayas. Torn Nurrc and Johnny Reagan were later brought up from the junior squad, the former as a utility catcher, the latter as a utility infielder. The season opened on April 3rd with Bethesda-Chevy Chase. This ended in a 4-3 victory for the Prep, with Rice pitching steady ball for the Garrett Parkers. A three run rally in the last two innings gave the Blue and Gray the victory. It was intended to be a seven inning game by agreement but when the Prep knotted the score at the ending of the seventh, the game went an extra inning. Bob Murphy, pinch hitting for Pennington doubled at the start of the eighth inning, Morse sacrificed Byrd, running for Murphy, to third and Parks drove in the winning run with a clean single to center field.

Three Prep pitchers were used in the debacle. Errors, walks and a few timely hits accounted for the Western runs. H Rockville, 33 Georgetown Prep, 16 The next game with Rockville proved another runaway-this time with the Prep on the upper end of a 16-3 score. Berwin Morse's home run and triples by Bobby Troutman and Howard Pennington were features of a big day at the plate for the Little Hoyas . The Prep collected 13 hits from three Rockville pitchers. Powell and Dettweiler shared the pitching for Georgetown, Powell allowing two hits and three runs in three inningsg Billy Dettweiler four hits and no runs in four innings, striking out six of the opposing batters. Charlotte Hall, 8, Georgetown Prep, 6 Four defeats in a row was the dish for the Prep in its next four games. Though the Prep out hit Charlotte Hall, collecting seven hits to Charlotte Hall's live, the boys from southern Maryland cap- italized on six walks and the errors of the Garrett Parkers. Rice, Morse and Franklin starred at the bat for the Prep, collecting two hits apiece. Montgomery-Blair, 153 Georgetown Prep, 5 There was no doubt about this victory for the boys from upper Montgomery County. Clean hard hitting gave the victory to the visitors. Orrison, the third baseman for the visitors had a perfect day at the plate, getting five for five. For the Preppers Elkin Frank- lin and Lloyd Rice knocked out a double and a single apiece. Central High, 135 Georgetown Prep, 5 Central romped to an easy victory over the Prep with 13 hits and as many runs. W. Smith of Central hit safely for live successive 66 The Blue and Gray times at hat. Lloyd Rice fred better with the hat than he did in the pitcher's box. Lloyd had three hits in four trips to the plate., Loyola High fBaltimoreJ, 45 Georgetown Prep, 3 The Little Hoyas were nosed out hy Loyola of Baltimore on the latter's field by the score of 4-3. At the end of the seventh in- ning game the score was tied 3-3. An extra inning was required to settle the battle. The Prep in its turn at bat failed to put across a run and Loyola came up in the last half of the eighth and with one out and one on Sliplcer, Loyola's left fielder, hit his second double of the clay to score the winning run.

The Prep scored a great victory in its next game, winning over Roosevelt High, the second place team in the High School Series in Washington. Desales Powell pitched the Prep to its best vic- tory of the season. Three hits were all the rough riders obtained from the steady pitching of the Prep's great left-hander. Six men were struck out by Powell in the seven-inning game. Behind him the team played its greatest game of the season-errorless baseball in spite of plenty of hard chances. 68 Thr Blue and Gray Roosevelt High School, 0 AB R H PO A E Thompson, If ..... .... 1 0 0 0 0 0 Weber, If ,.,., ...,,,.,,,,..

The inexperience of the pitchers was a weak point in this gameg the youngsters didn't seem able to Find the plate., Billy Byrd, Frank Zayas and Johnny Reagan shared the assignment. Featuring the game was Byrd's triple and Bill Flan- aganls double. St. Alban's Juniors, 65 Georgetown Prep Juniors, 7 Two games with the St. Alban's Juniors completed the short sched- ule.

A great game! 74 The Blue and Gray GOLF Early in March plans for the Golf season of 1935 began to un- fold. Meetings were held in the City and at the School and officers elected and schedules formed so that by April first the Prep School Golf League had been organized for the sixth year, the District of Columbia Scholastic Golf Association had held its annual meeting and elected Billy Dettweiler of the Prep as President to succeed Maury Nee, now at Notre Dame, and the M'aryland Scholastic As- sociation had set their dates for their annual tournament. So the Prep schedule looked something like this: April 2 Devitt 4 Tech 7 Gonzaga 11 St. Jol'm's 13 Woodberry Forest of Orange, Va. 14 Roosevelt 15 Central 16 Gonzaga 17 Forest Park at Baltimore 30 Devitt 30 Baltimore Poly Tech May 2 St. John's 4 Thomas Jefferson of Richmond 5 Roosevelt 5 Gonzaga 7 Central 7 Calvert Hall of Baltimore 9 Tech 11 Maryland State Scholastic Qualifying rounds 18 First and Second rounds of Maryland State 19 Semi-finals and Finals of State Touranment 19 Catholic University Z1 Mt.

To these three he found material in DeSales Powell, Jack Dettweiler, Austin Parks, Joe Meseck, Dick Canning, Ross Muenzen, Berwin Morse and Tom Murray. A11 of these boys partic- ipated and won matches for the team and despite the rainy weather and the late Easter vacation the team managed to keep its scheduie and return victories in all but the Roosevelt High match. This team, however, was tied later in a return match. A tie match was also played with the Thomas Jefferson High team of Richmond, Virginia. The Prep School Championship was won without a defeat and the team finished second in the Maryland State Scholastic to the Forest Park High School of Baltimore. In this tournament it was the mis- fortune of three of the Prep players to witness a violent illness out on the course and there is no doubt but that the incident affected the play of the boys.. Billy Dettweiler paced the field in this event with a rather steady round of 74. Two poor tee shots and two sand traps accounted for the over par figures. Walter and Otto Greiner of Forest Park High were tied for second place with scores of 80. Four Prep boys qualified for the match play rounds held the follow- ing Saturday. Troutman met Walter Greinerg Parks met Tornabene of Polyg Spalding met Reilly of Poly and Dettweiler met Dowling of Forest Park. 77 The Blue and Gray Troutman, Parks and Spalding were all defeated in their first round matches. Dettweiler met and defeated Farrell of Calvert Hall in his second round after eliminating Dowling of Forest Park, 6 and 4, in the morning. In the semi-finals Billy put out Chuck Beeler of Loyola to meet Otto Greiner of Forest Park in the finals. The match was fairly even to the 13th hole when Billy tool: the lead never to be headed and won, 3 and l. Thus for the third consecutive year Georgetown has been the home of the Maryland Schoolboy Cham- pion. The best team match of the season was with the Virginia Cham- pions, Thomas Jefferson High of Richmond. This match was played here on a Saturday afternoon and quite a few of the boys remained home to see the visitors in action. Troutman and Billy Dettweiler produced unbeatable golf and sent Tommy Howell and his partner, Frank Sutton, home with glowing tales of how two golfers teamed up to produce an unbelievable score of 61 and to beat them 5 and 4. In the other match Captain Spalding and Parks were up against a pair who have never been beaten in a match in high school circles and they did not damage the record for they lost. 6 and 5 to Edla Donnan and Clark Lea. The Richmond team is perhaps the strongest in the East and would make an excellent match for Hill School, the Eastern Interscholastic Champions. Unfortunately, Thomas Jeffer- son High is not eligible to meet the Hill School at Greenwich but Georgetown Prep will and from all indications should furnish strong opposition. Other outstanding matches were the victories over St, John's at the Woodmont Country Club, Woodberry Forest here and the two Western matches. Considerable interest was created in golf during the season by the introduction of a ladder scheme of challenge matches. In this plan, all the boys out for golf were arranged into six ladders friom the best players down to the boys just beginning the game. It was the privi- lege of any boy on the ladder to challenge anyone above him on his ladder and if he won his match he was promoted a rung. Some fifty-five boys played in these matches with Tom Murray, Alonso Portuondo, Berwin Morse, Harry Lee, Kenneth Cummings and Joe Meseclc showing the greatest improvement. 78 The Blue and Gray Another innovation which attracted attention in District golf circles was a Father and Son Tournament played here on Saturday, April 27, with twenty-five teams participating. The winners, Mr. J. V. Brownell and Bobby returned a total score of 84-74 for a total of 158. In second place were Captain Ryden and his son with a score of 87-75-162 and in third place, Mr. A. S. Gardiner and his son Al, remembered for his football help here last Fall, with a score of 82-82--163. Other outstanding father-son combinations were Nlr. George Rutley and Tedg Mr. Luther Steward and Luther, Jr.g Com- mander Bogart and Ralphg Mr. John L. Barr and Jackg Mr. Forrest Thompson and Jimg Dr. Mundell and Joey Dr. Cummings and Edg Mr. Ralph Drain and Jimmy fNational Amateur Qualifier, 1934Jg Mr. John Meyer and Richard, Mr. 'William Rochelle and Billyg Mr. Bond Geddes and Gailg Mr. A.

Curtiss and Bryan, Mr. Edgar Heimer and Billy and Captain Hammerling and Hank. The day was ideal for golf and all voted the tournament a big success. Later in the year Gene Sarazen called the attention of the golfers to this tournament when on a visit to Washington he presented the Brownells with a dozen golf balls and said that Georgetown Prep was to be praised for encouraging such events. The twenty-fourth annual Chevy Chase Club Invitation attracted the usual strong field and once again a Prep boy baslced in the lime- light. As has been the custom several Prep golfers were invited to compete and Billy Dettweiler represented the School. He qualified easily with a 76 and passed through the first and second round matches with ease, defeating the veteran Jesse Baggett of Beaver Dam, Z and 1, and Beverly Mason of the host club by the same score. Mason is the player who put out our Maury Nee last year. The next morning Billy defeated Major Sutherland of the Army-Navy Club by a score of 4 and Z to reach the finals in the afternoon and play Hickman Greene, former Louisiana State College star. Greene had one of those miracle rounds where every shot is perfect and no mistake can be made. He armilated Dettweiler 7 and 6 and when the match was over on the twelfth green he was two under par. The committee asked him to play out the remaining holes to see if he 79 The Blue and Gray could break Maury Nee's course record of 67. Greene failed by four strokes. Dettweiler received as his prize a replica of the famous Vice-President Sherman Trophy and Greene received a replica of the equally famous President William Howard Taft Trophy. The next event on the calendar was the Metropolitan Schoolboy Championship played at the Indian Spring course on Friday, May 24. The First and second rounds of the match play were held at the Kenwood Club on Saturday and the semi-finals and finals played at the Congressional Club'on Sunday. Seventy-nine boys entered the qualifying rounds on Friday, This was the largest field of school- boys ever attracted to such an event in this section of the country. Buddy Sharkey of Gonzaga, Bobby Brownell, of Roosevelt, Billy Dett- weiler of Georgetown and Jim Brownell of Roosevelt tied for low score with 8O's. In order to determine the sixteen qualifiers it was necessary to hold a play-off late in the evening and the five boys tied at 87 played until all but Bobby Troutman of the Prep and Ernie Garlem of Central were eliminated. These sixteen began match play on Saturday morning at Kenwood. In the team championship Roosevelt High took the honors with a four man total of 333. Western was second with 336 and George- town third with 353. The Georgetown second team was sixth with 3 score of 378. Favorites advanced in the first and second rounds of match play and Bobby Brownell of Rooseveltg Billy Dettweiler, Billy Shea of Western and Buddy Sharkey of Gonzaga were the semi-finalists. Dettweiler took Brownell 6 and 5 and Shea eased out Sharkey, 3 and 1 to bring Dettweiler and Shea together on Sunday afternoon at Congressional in the finals. Dettweiler was three up at the sixth but Shea's birdie on the eighth and fine par three on the ninth brought the contestants to the turn with Dettweiler one up. Shea evened the match on the twelfth, went one up on the fourteenth with another perfectly played short hole but saw his lead wiped out on the sixteenth where Dettweiler played a perfect iron shot to the pin. Shea made a gallant recovery from the rough on the seventeenth to get his four and they reached the home hole all even. Dettweiler had the honor and skied his drive out some one hundred and fifty yards. Shea was up the middle. Dettweiler studied his shot care- fully and dropped his ball twelve feet from the cup. There was a 80 The Blue and Gray ripple of applause from the crowd around the green and club house. Shea was outside of Dettweiler's ball by ten feet on the green but here he produced the precious shot and holed out for a birdie. This left our Billy on the spot with a curling twelve footer staring him in the face. Surely a dramatic golf set-up. Could he do it? Hund- reds of eyes were glued on that ball as it rolled up, up and then took the down slope toward the cup. It was going in. But no, it slipped past and Willie Shea of Western was the 1935 Metropoli- tan Schoolboy Champion. Participation in the Eastern Interscholastics at Greenwich, Con- necticut late in June will bring to a close the high school golfing days of several outstanding Prep players. Namely, Captain Hughes Spalding, Austin Parks, Tom Murray and Billy Dettweiler. It is with a feeling of deep sadness that we see Spalding and Dettweiler move on up. They have participated here in the most glorious of the Prep golfing years. They have assisted in compiling a record which will perhaps never be equaled in local schoolboy golf. To Dettweiler belong the greenest laurels. From 1932 to 1935 he has brought to Georgetown Prep all possible recognition on the links. In order that the younger members of the School may have a handy record, we will repeat a few of Billyis outstanding achievements: National Amateur Qualifier at Baltimore in 1932 and again in 1934 at Brookline, Massachusetts. He has held the District of Columbia Junior Championshipg twice State of Maryland Junior Championg Maryland State Schoolboy Championg Georgetown Prep Junior and Senior Championg finalist in the District Amateur Cham- pionship and Chevy Chase Invitation and semi-finalist in any number of invitation tournaments., Along with Maury Nee and Frank Allan he formed the strongest schoolboy golf triumvirate of these times.

And so Jack Crosby, our playing manager, scheduled six matches for the First half of April, But the best laid schemes o' mice an' men gang aft a-gley , as the poet said, and inclement weath- er made the playing of five of these matches impossible. The only match before the holidays saw three of last year's Prep- sters back on the court. Ed Flanagan, Captain and No. 2 man, Jack Crosby and Gordon Kiser were fighting it out for No. 3 position. Lloyd Rice, who seems to be a star in just about every sport, played No. 1. Richard Canning has been playing in the No. Z doubles team and will perhaps get a chance at the No. 3 singles position before the season draws to a close. These five make up the backbone of the team. Other candidates who have participated in several of the matches are: Tony Scatuorchio, Jim Foley, Ed Blackburn, Gus Clem- ens, Tommy Weldon, John Schroder and Bill Flanagan. ROOSEVELT HIGH SCHOOL: The Prep won this opener 3-1. Rice had no trouble defeating Thompson, 6-2, 6-4. Captain Flana- gan did not Gnd Johnson so easy, especially in the second set, but he won, 6-2, 10-8. Crosby was the only one Prep player to lose, be- ing defeated by Royal, 3-6, 4-6. In the doubles Kiser and Canning took Greenburg and Finckel, 6-4, 9-7. Rice and Flanagan won the first set against Royal and Johnson but time to finish the match was lacking. ST.. ALBAN'S: The first match after the Easter Vacations was against the strongest team in The Prep School League. St. Al- ban's has since won the League Title for this year. This gives them permanent possession of the Trophy. No No. 1 high school player need consider it a disgrace to lose to such a player as Zan Carver, the Saints top ranking player. To date Carver has suffered no de- feats. He defeated Rice 6-Z, '6-3. The second and third singles and first doubles were also taken by St. Alban's. Our only chance for a victory was rained out-the second doubles match. We sincerely congratulate St. Alban's on winning permanent possession of the League Trophy. 83 The Blue and Gray CHEVY CHASE HIGH: On May 2nd the Prep defeated Chevy Chase, 4-1. Rice, playing No. 1, won his first set, 6-4, but became a bit erratic and dropped the next two, 4-6, 5-7. His opponent was Turner. Flanagan defeated Hall, 6-3, 6-15 Kiser won over Smith, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4,. In the doubles Rice and Flanagan defeated Turner and Holt, 6-1, 6-3. Kiser and Canning defeated Smith and Hall 6-4, 6-3. FRIENDS SCHOOL: After a couple of matches were rained out we finally were blessed with a stretch of fair weather and succeeded in downing Friends School, 4-1. The scores: Rice IG. P., defeated Newmyer 1F.l 6-3, 6-3. Speare fF.j defeated Flanagan IG. PJ 2-6, 6-4, 6-4. Kiser KG. PJ defeated Mackay KF., 6-4, 6-1. Rice and Flanagan defeated Newmyer and Speare, 6-1, 6-4. Kiser and Canning defeated McBride and Mackay, 1-6, 6-1, 6-3. GONZAGA: On Saturday, May llth, Gonzaga brought an ah- breviated team of two men to the Prep. We easily won the two singles and one double match. Scores: Rice KG.. PJ defeated Biamon QGJ 6-0, 6-1. Kiser KG. PJ defeated Laut IGJ 6-0, 6-1. K Kiser and Scatuorchio defeated Biamon and Laut, 6-1, 6-1. MCKINLEY HIGH SCHOOL: The Tech team arrived late, so we were unable to complete more than four matches. This resulted in a 2-2 tie. Rice again starred for the Prep, winning his singles match, and with Flanagan as a teammate, their doubles match. Flanagan and Kiser lost in hard fought singles which went three sets. WESTERN HIGH SCHOOL: Western had the best Public High team in the District this season, winning over such teams as George- town Freshmen, Episcopal High, and St. Alban's. The Prepsters proved no match for these seasoned players and were defeated 6-1. The scores, however, show that our netmen put up a good fight. SINGLES: E. Owens defeated Rice, 3-6, 6-4, 6-1. J. Hatch defeated Flanagan, 12-10, 6-3. L. Owens defeated Kiser, 7-5, 6-8, 6-3. Lynham defeated Canning, 3-6, 6-0, 12-10,, Baer defeated Murray, 1-6, 6-0, 6-3. 84 The Blue and Gray DOUBLES: Rice and Flanagan defeated J. Hatch and M. Hatch, 8-10, 6-3, 6-3. E. Owens and Baer defeated Murray and J. Foley, 6-1, 6-0. ST. JOHN'S: On May 26th we had little difficulty defeating St. John's team, 4-O. Rice, Flanagan and Kiser won their matches in fine form. And in the doubles Flanagan and Rice showed much im- provement, and won in straight sets. TOURNAMENTS: As we go to press three tournaments are un- der way. In the Prep School league Tourament Lloyd Rice is the only Prep representative we have left. He has gotten to the quarter- finals and we hope to see him in the finals against the star of the league, Carver of St. Albans. Kiser also reached the quarter-finals, but suffered defeate at the hands of St. Alban's number two man, Freligh. In our School Touranment not much progress has been made in the Senior Division, but Rice is again favored to win. The Junior Division has reached the semi-final round in which Bob O'Shaughnes- sy will meet Bill Heimbaugh, and Ken Cummings will cross rac- quets with Raphael Cuellar. ROCKVILLE HIGH: On Monday May 27th, the Prep closed its tennis season with a 5-0 victory over Rockville High. Everything went our way in the singles matches, but the doubles were a bit more difficult, both matches going to three sets. The scores: Flanagan defeated E. Ochsenreiter, 6-1, 6-1. Kiser defeated C. Nicewarner, 6-2, 6-0. Clemens defeated S. Nicewarner, 6-3, 6-3. Flanagan and Kiser defeated E. Oschenreiter and C. Nicewarner, 8-6, 3-6, 6-4. Crosby and Clemens defeated Jones and Baker, 6-3, 5-7, 6-4. 85 The Nurre Companies, Inc. Pr0a'ucer.r gf Hzgfz Quafity Mirrors Plate Glass Window Glass and Structural Glass Genera!
