i Q' ' 15 'k In the midst of this fruitful activity the community lost a valuable member and the Senior Class an excellent teacher and friend when Brother 'Arnold died. His loss was greatly lamented, his memory will always be with us. Our professors were not many in our Senior Year. Brother Jasper covered all the philosophy subjects. His favorite was about the four seniors and the fifty- four perspective seniors in the class. His frequent spasms of humor left us somewhat puzzled, we were uncertain whether we were slzarers in the humorisms or the victims thereof. What Brother Agatho's course in education taught us was the proper way to bring up the children. Many were the arguments in his class on just what a q f , fN i MANHATTANITEFN , ' nl X 1 . . iw f child would do in a certain situation. Murray Androvette usually solved all the problems along this line. Brother Gabriel introduced us into the art of good read- ing, and the culture to be found in the literary masterpieces. Prof. Costa was very popular with the engineers, while the commerce men feted Dean Fitzgerald with a banquet for his efforts in showing them the practical side of business through visits to industrial plants and banks. Four years have flown on the wings of time, bringing us to the final departure. The summer will pass but the class of '29 will be beyond the call of reconvening for the scholastic year. Twenty-niners will be separated seeking to advance themselves in a new school-LIFE. But whatever the world may have in store for us, the indelible impress which makes us Manhattan men will never be obliterated by its glamours, pitfalls or honors. Always as true sons of Alma Mater, we will try to bring credit to her glorious heritage The Maker of Men . As students within your halls, Alma Mater, we bid you a sorrowful and a happy farewell. As sons we shall forever stand beneath your banner ready to serve your need. You have given us our foundation on which to build our futureg we will erect ni N K, our edifices to your glory and honor. The future is before us. Our hope and will L are full of the conquering spirit. We salute you, Alma Mater. . KP f I Rh I K 1 f One Hundred Forty-eight 'B 'E , 'IN-ka Ng. . R.-A 5. -' 1 ,J 'fx 'At-,A

L- 'l at MANHATTAHITTEWF f- Basketball and baseball saw Hayes, VVhalen, Davis and Fiorenza all contribut- ing to the success of our teams. Track took a new spurt when an outdoor board track was built. The Juniors contributed one hundred dollars to help defray ex- penses. Louie Manz Tom Philbin, Ed Tangney and Frank Clarke brought home Vi ith the inau uration of boxing as a sport, the Juniors were the first to re- spond. loe Boylan as manager, did valiant work in establishing a team. Those who volunteered to stop some one elseis glove were: Frankie Lo Pinto, Dan Curtin, Johnny Schmidt Ray Murphy and Jim Kearney. In other fields we were just as active. Hugh Graham, as President of the Hayes Dramatic Club staged a successful show: VVhat Happened to Jonesf, and also a smoker. The Glee Club had its allotment of workers from our class, headed by Anthony T. Giordano Letter known as Manhattan's Tenor. As Juniors, the publication of the Quadrangle was given into our care at the beginning of the new year. lVith Frank Clarke as editor, the college paper was improved upon, and its business was put on a firm basis by Hugh Graham. VVe managed the paper until the end of the first half of the Senior year. VValter Caugh- lan's column, Manhattan Cocktails , was one of the high spots of the publication. He combined a keen sense of humor with clever satire. Joe Kearney, as Associate Editor, Jim Swift as Circulation Manager, Ed Scully as Managing Editor, and Ed Kelly, Pat Doherty, Mike Dwyer, Dan Curtin, Ed Reid and Greg Di Giovanni, occupants of the several positions on the staff, worked tirelessly for the welfare of the publication.

A Chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers was established during Junior Year with Dan O'Connell as President. Schoolroom life had its hits too. Brother Alphonsus, in logic and psychology, made us drink deep of Scholastic Philosophy, much to the annoyance of the radicals of the class. Oratory under Prof. Kanaley turned out to be a course in reading the New Yorker, the Mercury, and Jim Tully on the evils of prison life. And Hnally, but lastingly enshrined in our memory, we had Doctor Carey, who sang for us many a beautiful Irish ballad and told many 3 rip-roaring, bloodthirsty tale. The grand and dubious honor of being able to walk the Senior VValk came with- out much ado. Yvith the Oligarchy of O'Connor, Clarke, Scully, Cosgrove still holding the reins of government the class of '29 set out to do its work peacefully. As Seniors, of course, we were to be very dignified and studious. The class buckled down to writing theses and to bringing about the year book. Due to the untiring efforts of Editor Francis D. Kalosky, Associate Editor, Rudolph Amyot, and President O'Connor, we have this beautiful and valuable book, the most compre- hensive ever turned out by Manhattan. During Senior Year Mike Dwyer contributed his great energy to the leader- ship of the Student Council, Arthur Smith held forth as President of the Student Athletic Associationg and Bob Doherty formed a lively Smith for President Club among the voting membership of the college. Joe Kearney added to his many activities by becoming manager of the baseball team. Just before our notable victory over C. C. N. Y. the student council held a great pep meeting at which Manhattan's first band was introduced, also a new college song, The Big Green YVave,U composed by Griff McKiernan. ,.: One Hundzed foztg se cn E E - ' D -K , K '-5, fr-'w rxp-41 'J ,fx IXQJS1 J
