the founding brothers; and Ji)e CampaneUa drew the sub-dividers for the sports section. John B. Walsh, now famous for an analy- sis of non-linear functions, copy-edited the material as it arrived from unnamed scribes writing for campus societies. Assisting in copy editing, which means tackling all the arduous tasks connected with a yearbook, were Frank Reynolds, Bill Dickson, and Bill Schulz. Assuming most of the responsibility, and standing ready to shoulder the blame, is the editor, Walter Ruddy, sometimes to be found in the Manhattanite office wearing a slide rule and a worried look. These are the men who did it. 207

Manhattanite rHE preparation of a ciassbook is always a difficult task, and the 1948 Manhat- tanite was no exception. Most important, and time-consuming, was the gathering of indi- vidual senior portraits. Some, doubting the imminence of graduation, shied away from the photographer. Finally confidence over- came medieval fear and the pictures were taken, deli ered, and readied for the en- graver. All told, there are 89 Business, 99 Arts and Science, and 114 Engineers in the book, representing the labors of photo editor, Bill Shanney.

The architectural vignettes accompanying The Centenary Years, are the work of James Bangert; Howie Everngam sketched 206

Q uadrangle CONFRONTED with the problem of in- terpreting Manhattan ' s news in relation to the ever-changing world scene, the Quad- rangle, under the direction of Editor-in- Chief James P. Quinn, this year turned in an excellent job in both the reportorial and editorial fields. Following the policy set in the previous year, the Quad again featured a modern and readable format on regular newspaper. Fanning the flames of controversy with Joe McCartliy ' s biting editorials and his own ex- clusive and sometimes explosive Young Man of Manhattan column. Editor Quinn made the Quad a potent influence and a constant conversation topic about the campus. Walt Ruddy ' s caustic and at times satirical com- ments on world e ents and the shape of things to come kept the student body well informed of the conservative Catholic view- point on national and international topics. Through the Asides column. Bob McLough- lin and Jim Sweeney brought the highlights of each week ' s social gatherings to those not fortunate enough to ha e participated in 208
