La Salle University - Explorer Yearbook (Philadelphia, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 40 of the 1943 volume:

THE EXPLDRFR PUBLISHED BY THE CLASS OF NINETEEN FORTY THREE LA SALLE COLLEGE DEDICATION Elsewhere in this commemorative booklet are pic- tured a few of the many classmates who have preceded us into the armed forces of the United States. The vagaries of dsaft boards have flung them into this tragic tid ' ebb of history while we remain briefly behind; they have already taken up arms and donned the garb of war. To those students of a new and grimmer regimen, our comrades of a lost college era and our companions of a happier day, and to all La Salle men under arms, we fondly dedicate this yearbook. PRESIDENT Brother Emilian James is serving his second year as administrative head of La Salle. He fills his many duties, made more burdensome by present conditions, with intelligence and foresight. ADMINISTRATION DEAN A veteran in dispensing the dis- ciplinary measures of the college is Brother George Lev is. This he does with a just and practiced hand. To all who know him he is both genial and humorous. J.00 Brother E. Alfred F.S.C., M.A., LL.D. President Emeritus Professor of Special Ethics Brother E. Felix F.S.C., Ph.D., D.F.A.

Lawrence Dondero m a Ci nce 3f 3f SsmioA ?(idJb u To say that the class of 1943 was any more than an average group of college men m so far as intellectual pursuits and extracurricular activities are concerned would be the product of maudlin sentimentality and the rose-tinted spectacles attitude. This being so, the fol- lowing lines have been vvrritten as a more or less factual account of the doings of the class during the past four years. It was in Septembe. .„J9 that some 150 befuddled, but eager, youths matriculated at La Salle. This hetero- geneous group was promptly molded into a unit by an enthusiastic Soph Vigilance committee. The Freshman Welcome Dance and the Spring Formal were successful affairs. The freshman baske tball team compiled a good record, while the footballers by dint of their scrimmages against the varsity led the latter to six victories. Perkins, destined to guide the class during the whole four years, served his first terra as president. Buggy was vice- president and Montero filled the dual role of secretary and treasurer. The second year, also relatively uneventlul in the light of future events, found returning a number much smaller than had started freshmen year. Led by Lion and Buggy, the Vigilantes initiated the- yearlings in capable fashion. The only social affair conducted solely by the class, the Cotillion, chairmanned by Adans, was held at the Old York Road Country Club with Frazer- sponsored Larry Press conducting his orchestra. The sophomores supplied the athletic teams with their share of talent with Hilf starring for the courtmen, Montero slashing the opposition from his tackle position for the gridiron aggregation, many playing for the newly inaugurated ice hockey team, and the tennis and track teams depending on others. In other activities, ai well, the sophs put forth their efforts, and when they dis- covered that the Dean ' s Honor List was worth achieving they placed many names on it. Perkins, president; Burke, vice-president; Rosania, secretary; Brown, treas- urer, was the lineup of class officers. The activities of the last two years were centered about that all important one, the draft. Selective Service did not start taking its toll until shortly after Christmas, 1941, when Jim Eigo heard the bugle call. After that departures were many until at the end of the junior year only two-fifths of the 150 that had matriculated remained. Despite the adverse conditions, the traditional ac- tivities of any junior year were carried out. Perkins emulated Roosevelt by serving his third term as presi- dent, Burke again filled the vice-presidency, while hard- to-spell Ignaszewski carrie d out secretarial chores and Dondero guarded the treasury. Kennedy guided the fortunes of the German club and Debating Society, Silverthorn was elected president of the Frat, Cronin led the French club, Coady was chairman of the Press Conference and Dondero became editor of the Collegian and president of the Economics club. The acme of achievements was Silverthorn-guided Junior Vi eek, tagged like all others the best ever. Five nights, set aside for the Barn Dance, Men ' s Night, Doggie Roast, Class Banguet and the Prom, were not enough and a second Bam Dance was held to satisfy the merrymakers. The Prom, which was held at Philmont Country Qub with Joey Keams supplying the rhythms, capped the funmaking activities. In the sports field, Hilf and Masterson gleamed for the court team with McCarthy occasionally occupying a starting role. Montero and McCarthy were leading gridders, aided and abetted by Hober, Scull, Nojunas, McCormick, Magarity, Kurdziel and Frazer. The ice hockey team, captained by Schott and managed by Marron, had McNulty, Lion, Ignaszewski, Eigo, and Breen on its roster. Perkins and Dondero were cinder- path representatives. Kennedy captained the swimming team in its first year. By a guirk of fate Montero and McCarthy were elected to guide the 1942 football team, but there was no team and the co-captains were in the army long before the season would have opened. In the same way, Perkins was to have led the trackmen. He is now with the Marine Corps. The advent of Summer 1942 saw an epoch making optional semester inserted into the school year. While about thirty took up the option, the other eighteen seniors whose visages are depicted in this volume did not. Consequently the class of ' 43 will have two gradua- tion ceremonies. The greater part will be graduated in January, while the others will wander through the hallowed halls like so many lost souls until May, unless their academic existence be terminated sooner. The added semester was unusual in that, despite weather more suitable for romancing, dips in the ocean and the like, students did accomplish much and scholastic grades suffered little. Class cuts were more frequent, however. When the regular semester started in September, Gradel, former sports editor, assumed the editorship of the Collegian, left vacant by the drafting of Dondero. McMahon became sports editor and Coady managing editor. All of this is recent and remains vivid in the minds of all and is recorded here merely to later satisfy memories that are prone to become hungry for a resume of college day events. The same ' old story concerning the senior class leaders — Perkins, class president; Burke, vice-president. Deems and Silverthorn were elected to fill the posts vacated on the departure of Dondero and Ignaszewski. Prime activity was seeking to enlist in the reserve corps of the army, navy or marines so that college careers would not end abruptly. Next was the furious prepara- tion for comprehensive exams substituted for the tradi- tional thesis. At this writing Burke as chairman is rush- ing to completion plans for the Blue and Gold Ball to be held at the Ben Franklin. Johnny Warrington supplies music. Athletically, Masterson and McCarthy, sole senior representatives, captain the basketball squad. Hilf is in the army. Kennedy again leads the swimmers. These are the only sporting teams active. Ice hockey went the way of football. All of this is the history in capsule form. Detail may be supplied by each and every member of the class who helped make it. l wnfiJUA l jamUdiL  ff ff U t f f 1 fj ' THE JUNIOR CLASS Last year ' s annual labeled them as probably the least active of all La Salle classes. Improve- ment has been noted, but the phrase still re- mains the same. Tradition has made it neces- sary that they supply a Collegian staff of edi- tors and presidents for clubs, various and sundry. Junior A leads the bond drive. Four juniors are on the basketball team — Hoerst, Leyden, Reichman and Bradley. Junioi class officers are: McMenamin, secretary; Kaiser, treasurer: Hanes, president; and Leyden, vice-president. wb H ft n o THE SOPHOMORE CLASS Earlier in the year the sophomores seemed to be following in the footsteps of their immediate predecessors. Lately, a decided acceleration has been noted. The Cotillion held at the Bar- clay was very successful. Thompson, Chilnick, Kwasny and Bernhardt are members of the varsity basketball team. The honor roll and extra-curricular activities number many of the class. Class officers are: McGettigan. tieas- urer; Comely, secretary; Hammill, presi- dent: and Webb, vice-president. t •% I s ft « t n. «Sk 1 ■ t r -f f f 1 1« I 1 ' t ■!? f f .t Si, THE FRESHMAN CLASS Although being distinguished or otherwise as the first class to enter La Salle during this war, the frosh brought in 120 students. Their reputation, has yet to be made, but from casual observation they have material to make a good one. After the rather neglectful hazing they col- laborated with their benefactors in producing the Cotillion. Steigerwalt and Skvoretz are on the varsity court team. Leading the freshman class are (inset) Hamburger, president; Carabasi, secretary; Altman, vice-president; and F. Cannon, treasurer. DRGANIZATIDNS EXPLORER COLLEGIAN Despite adverse conditions and war-time haste, the La Salle graduating class has managed to keep intact one of the youngest traditions, the publication of a year-book. This year, the Explorer was edited by George Gradel, who was assisted by a staff com- posed of the following seniors: Frank Mc- Mahon and Joe McFadden, Associate Edi- tors; Bob Adams, Business Manager; Roy Perkins, Photographic Editor; Harry Deems and Larry Rosania. The year of 1942 sow the Collegian staff experience an unprecedented change in ad- ministration , when the editor-in-chief, Larry Dondero, was ushered into the army. The new staff of seniors undertook their different posts, not too experienced, but willing. With Gradel at the helm as editor-in-chief, the Col- legian succeeded in publishing its abbrevi- ated schedule, upholding most of the tradi- tional qualities, of past journalistic endeavors at La Salle. ki m00 LE CERCLE FRANCAIS One of the less active organizations at La Salle, the French Club has, nevertheless, managed to maintain its position in extra- curricular activities. Capably moderated by Brother William, the club meets on frequent occasions to discuss French customs, litera- ture, and art. One of the Club ' s main func- tions is to acquaint its members with a speaking knowledge of French. Its members annually issue a publication, written en- tirely in French. DOERNENBERG LITERARY SOCIETY The German Club, by which this language group is more familiarly known, seems to have crystallized its activities into joint meet- ings with Chestnut Hill ' s corresponding club. The main purpose of the club is a supple- mentary study of the culture, customs, coun- try and literature of traditional Germany. Charles Hanes is president of the society with Albert Kraft vice-president. Brother Abdon is the moderator. f ® ' ' S ' %   M Jin I I ' : If 1 Y ¥ K ' , iiii ' - . -siw ?- ' -)f ' - ' mS ' - DEBATING SOCIETY ST. JOHN FISHER CLUB The foremost accomplishment of the de- baters was the winning of the Philadelphia Forensic League title in their first year of league competition. Hard hit by the loss of last year ' s regulars to the alumni and army, the society, under the earnest coaching of Mr. Joseph Flubacher, produced a team that defeated St. Joseph ' s to gain the champion- ship. Jim Kennedy occupied the presidency of the society. La Salle ' s most newly-formed organization is a composite one, combining the Social Sciences of Sociology, History, Economics, Education, and Political Science. The club was formed largely through the efforts of Brother Augustine. Senior, Bob Adams, was elected President of the society. At its weekly meetings, guest speakers ore invited to at- tend and discussions are held on current affairs relating to Catholic Action. ALPHA EPSILON SIGMA PHI LAMBDA From this year ' s class, eight students were selected for Alpha Epsilon, the senior honor society. One, Larry Dondero, established precedent when he was elected while in the army. The others are Owen Breen, George Gradel, Joseph McFadden, Frank McMahon, Sidney Orr, Raymond Perkins and Lawrence Rosania. Requisite qualities for election are leadership and balance between scholastic grades and extra-curricular activities. Sigma Phi Lambda, La Salle ' s lone social fraternity, is restricted, according to the by- laws, to those who display qualities of serv- ice, fidelity and leadership. The New Year ' s Eve party is the main function of the organi- zation, although meetings are held at irregu- lar times and places. Chuck Silverthorn v as president of the Frat during the past year. Mike Coady was vice-president. ATHLETICS fi ,T a.-nd ° ' ' latter ps o a on ci , r, eatn. qcYi. , « •l-ove ' d «  : o« ■ Tv. o ' ■has an ° „.caP ains. , ,,en. ' Wo s wilhCoac sor--. Members of the junior varsity team are, rear. Sharer, Donovan and Flan- nery; Iront, Captain Heavey, Shepper, Tracey, Clune and Peterson. TRACK SWIMMING The track team will return to the Spring wars minus the services of three oustanding men who were expected to report. Captain Perkins, Hunt and Dondero will not be on hand. Perkins was lost to the Marine Corps, Hunt transferred to another college and Dondero is doing his running in the army. Despite his losses. Coach O ' Brien believes he can build a representative squad around a nucleus of sophs and juniors. Tentative plans call for meets with Franklin and Marshall, Catholic U. and St. Joseph ' s, O.P.A. permitting. The swimming team is now in its second season after an initial year that was devoid of victory. However, Coach Jeff Kirk and Captain Kennedy expect to achieve a better record this year. Kennedy ' s graduation leaves the team without a capable diver, but the aggregation is fairly well fortified in the other departments. Brady, Manson, Amadio and Sweeney are veterans upon whom Coach Kirk bases his hopes. Several freshmen candidates may come through. Like the Phillies, the swimming team can only improve on its record.
