in ia . L. H-- W are Then came those two informal affairs at which we all enjoyed ourselves- Manhattanite Night at the Colony, saw Tony Giordano sing Alma Mater' and Jim Riordan, If I Had a Girl Like You. And the Torch Bearers presented by the Hayes Dramatic. Recall those pseudo-femmes, our jovial Hugh Graham, Alphonse Le May and Vialter Caughlan? The talk after the show was that re- quests were sent to each to become the Prom girl for that Vear. VVhen our class was registered the upper classmen argued hotly on the contri- bution we would make to the athletic teams. But there was nothing to worry about, as freshmen were on every team. In football Mike Hayes wrote football history. He certainly could carry the pigskin and grab passes! Tllen there were Jack Flynn and Byrnes Bently. Basketball saw Mike Hayes and Tom VVhalen make the Varsity. VVith Fiorenza on the mound, Davis at the plate and Hayes in the A V C F 'N 'T ':'t'!,T'i' ew e J x A ' .r is garden our baseball team had nothing to worry about. And those fast steppers, Louie Manz, Frank Clarke, Tom Philbin and Joe Blasi brought home trophies in track. 'iff Still, those are not the only choice morsels of reminiscences. The professors on registration day told us how good we were and then a week later each and every one of them began to tell us how dumb we were. How they bemoaned the fact that they had made a great mistake! Every Friday, Professor Sweeney, in his effort to get across something about the Cro-Magnon Man and the Nebula Hypothesis, would prolong his lectures for at least a half-hour. Finally deciding to bear it no longer we resolved to remind him that the hour was up. Accordingly, three alarm clocks were set under his stand, five minutes apart. An apple and some field flowers were left on his desk to appease an expected wrath. After thanking the class for the gifts he settled into his lecture. Brrrr-ing went the first clock. Everybody was all attention but Prof. Sweeney never deviated a jot from his talk. Brrrr-ing went the other two in succession-and at five o'clock a wilted freshman class closed its books, beaten at its own game. Prof. Hawn, the southern gentleman, who did his best to make us speak cor- rectly. always provided something interesting. If he hadnit a new story he would fall back on the Soul of Everything . No one ever missed his class,-much. The engineers were taken under guidance by two splendid teachers. Brother Felix, who remained as their prefect until Senior year, and the late Brother Noel, of revered memory, who was ever constant in his watch over them, trying to direct their explosive energies into useful channels. But it was not long before we found ourselves in a new situation--as Sophomores we had new responsibilitiesathe chastisement of the Freshmen. No Freshmen was ever right, no matter what he did. VVe were to enjoy ourselves at their expense. Jim Cuddy, as President, selected Hughie Graham to lead our forces of righteousness against iniquity. Although the Tug-of-War decision was awarded to the Frosh, their meekness was secured. Due to our supremacy the year was quiet along that line. Our social ,activities were limited to a dance held after the final examinations. The night was too hot for it to have been much of a success, but we did the best under the circumstances. The Glee Club Concert in Town Hall, and the Hayes Club Production In the Next Room provided an outlet for our energies.

K r igs' 4- Continuing our splendid contributions to athletics at Manhattan we find the same men who reported to the coaches in the Freshmen year holding down first places on all the teams. If Sophomore year, extra-curricula activities found us very quiet, classroom memories will linger on. Spanish under Professor Fernandez offered many thrills. Spanish jokes and Spanish stories were his favorites. Physics under Brother Azarias Joseph will never be forgotten. Laboratory day, Thursday, generally found us in until six or seven o'clock plotting some graph or trying to find measures of displacement or some other trick, much to the Brother's amusement. He generally showed us how to do it after he had suppered. And we won't soon forget Brother Luke, the Nemesis of ,29, who, as professor of Religion and English, handed out many a condition. Nevertheless, both of his courses were appreciated and highly profitable to all taking them. In order to perpetuate the memory of Brother Noel, who had died during the summer, the Engineers inaugurated the Noel Chapter of The Knights of the Divine Child, with Brother Felix as Moderator. The Junior year opened with a bang! In convention assembled, the party headed by Jerry O'Connor swept everything before it, sending the reigning dynasty down to defeat. Any of the great conventions of the major political parties could have gleaned some pointers from that meeting. When the smoke of battle cleared away ur fr sy: -N,-v ' Afrvtif' F.
