Kelly and Elizabeth Kin- ninger. Having received his early education at the University of Dayton, and having completed his seminary course at St. Viatorls College, Father Kelly was ordained priest at Chicago by Bishop Muldoon, June 21, 1902. After a short stay at Denver, Father Kelly was called to teach at Spalding Institute, Peoria, where for several years he had among his pupils one who was destined to be known the world over, Monsignor Fulton J, Sheen. In 1908, Archbishop Spalding named Father Kelly as his secretary, a position which Father Kelly was to keep for ten years. It was during this period that Father Kelly studied at the College of Music, in Cincinnati. By 1918 Father Kelly was ready for further studies in Europe. In Europe, Father studied at London, England, where he was named Fellow of the Royal College of Organists. Traveling to the continent, Father Kelly continued to study music under the renowned Xavier Schwarenka at Berlin, Germany. Academically Father merited his doctorate in musical studies, but his studies here must have given Father that musical touch of the master, which has held in charm any who have ever heard Father play at the piano. From Germany, Father went to Solemnes Abbey, France. Here the musician-priest studied Gregorian Chant under Dom Mocquereau, and was declared Doctor of 'Gregorian Chant. Father then journeyed to Italy, and after a period at Rome, returned to the United States. Here in this country, Father studied and taught at the Catholic University of America until 1920, Then he was requested to be professor of Gregorian Chant at the Sacred Heart Seminary of Detroit where he remained until 1925. For the next five years Father was principal of Holy Name Institute, Detroit. A year later he became headmaster of Oratory School, Summit, New jersey. Little has been said here of Father's accomplishments as controversialist and writer, as editor of Truth magazine, and as champion of the truly great traditions in Catholic education. Little has been said of Father as composer of pieces for organ, piano, and orchestra, of the fact that he is a member of the American College of Organists, and other organizations. But let it suffice to say that Father Kelly is listed in the latest edition of the American Catholic W'ho's Who. For us, he shall always be the priest. ' .

Joseph Kelly The Oratory School Summit, New jersey My dear Father Kelly: Word has just reached me from The Oratory School that The Oratorianu is fittingly to be dedicated to you. I cannot let this occasion pass without recording my own personal tribute and gratitude. It was through you in my boyhood that I was privileged to serve on the Altarg it was through you that at the age of nine, I was made advertising manager of the Cathedral Messengerg it was through your weekly visits to our home that I was encouraged in my vocation and it was through your en- couragement that I was given a scholarship to Spalding Institute. Whatever good I may have thus far done in my life, I lay at your feet in tribute and thanksgiving. May God be good to you for being so good to me. Witli deep affection, I remain, RT. REV. MSGR.

By these means, properly used, you will know and be drawn to your God. There has been a two-fold purpose to your education, namely: to enlighten you to observe the moral law clearly contained in the Ten Commandments and to prepare your intellect so that you may perform your mission in the natural order-whatever profession or vocation is to be your lot in life. Since you must be obedient to your God, you must likewise, in everyday life, be obedient to your superiors who receive their authority from God. The first of those to receive this authority are your parents, whose responsibility for your welfare you cannot adequately appreciate until you grow older. Nevertheless, your parents, unknown to you, suffer many anxieties and endure many sacrifices that you may be properly guided, with the help of God, throughout your life and education. This authority from the loving hand of God is also manifested in our democracy, which is the dignity of personal behavior, freely limited or extended in our society by a majority of its members. Then your Catholic education leads you to God by a recognition of the obligations to Him,.and your 'dependence upon Him. From this you are compelled as Catholics to recognize rightfully established civil authorities, for next to God, our duty is to our country, as patriotic and zealous citizens. Therefore, my dear Graduates, as often as you exemplify the strong religious character and fine moral training, which we have endeavored to give you, then shall we feel that our efforts have been rewarded, for we could not possibly contribute more to the well being of our modern society. Well thinking people everywhere lament the lawlessness, crime, and vice of our day. They are distressed by the wars and the ruins of wars that are so widespread everywhere. However, you, our graduates, are going forth with a realization that if man's passions are to be held in check, there must be a knowledge and observance of a moral law that is binding upon the hearts of men. Such an education then, as yours is, is our only hope in preventing the spread of vice and crime. It is truly the only means left at our command to secure domestic tranquillity and insure peace among the nations of the earth. Remember always, dear boys, that you represent in the world your Oratory School. Since we, your teachers, have our honor staked upon you, guard and protect it, and then our pride in you will know no bounds. Farewell now dear Graduates-forevermore be grateful to your parents and your teachers, and faithful to God and country. May the blessing of the Almighty God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost descend upon you and remain with you forever. Sincerely yours in Christ, VERY REVEREND JOHN J. BAIN, Preridefzz resen ta tion The Onztomzzz, just as the Oratory itself, has been conceived and brought to the light of day for the greater honor and glory of God. In so far as we at Oratory have labored sincerely and loyally - L'ZH7'Z fialelimfe -to further the divine mission of Cur Blessed Lord and His unending quest for souls, may we receive His blessing.

Algebra Afhfeliz' D,jl'L!L'f0I' ,gn terpretcz tion Since we, the Senior Class, during our school life at Oratory, have found that faithfulness to God includes loyalty to Church and country, we have chosen for our theme the motto on our school shield - Fidelimr. To this end we have been trained: to keep our faith and trust in God, to remain true to ourselves, to our Church as founded by Christ, and to our neighbor wherever we may meet him. Furthermore we wish to keep to an ideal our instructors have had in directing our educational progress, and which Cardinal Newman, priest of The Oratory, has expressed so eloquently. 4. One main portion of intellectual education, of the labors of both school and university, is to remove the original dimness of the mind's eye: to strengthen and perfect its vision, to enable it to look out into the world right forward, steadily and truly, to give the mind clearness, accuracy, precision, to enable it to use words aright, to understand what it says, to conceive justly what it thinks about, to compare, analyze, define and reason correctly. Thus, let our motto - Fidelifas - be our theme as symblematic of our intent to be both spiritually and intellectually faithful in all things. ,, The img C'!9i'i.r1ia12 pmdzzfl of Clariytianz edlfcafiozz it flue t1zpei'1zaztfmzl 1724212 who flames, judges' and arts mmlafrztly amd comiriefzlly 272 avcordanre willy righl reatofz illumifzed by lbe f11permzlm'al light of the example and teaching of Clarirtf' . . .

CLASS HISTORY FRESHMAN YEAR 1944 - 1945 On September 18, 1944, there arrived at Oratory Prep, Summit, New Jersey, a group of nervous and bewildered boys. Since the class of 1948 bears this look of bewilderment and a nervy man- ner, the above group mentioned and this class may be said to be the same. As freshmen we were at once astonished at the upperclassmen, especially the seniors. They, in turn, were puzzled by our microscopic group, which at best boasted a few individuals whose arms and legs exceeded the size of the rest of their bodies. We were introduced immediately to a very thorough and extremely painful initiation period which came to a merciful close the following September when we were officially recognized as sophomores. We soon grew accustomed to life at the school and the warm feeling of friendship be, stowed on us by the priests and faculty. We well remember the long hours we wrestled with algebra and Latin, either plugging with rad- icals or marching with Caesar to conquer the Gauls. The war was on then and HitIer's march was being halted. Many of our seniors graduated in january and went off to war. This was Oratory's contribution to the war effort. This year saw the introduction of our new laboratory which was generously donated by the Mothers' Club. The months rolled by and soon the warm breezes of spring were upon us. We departed happily in june, proud not only that we were no longer the fearful freshmen, but also that all of us had passed with flying colors. I9 SOPHOMORE YEAR 1945 - 1946 We returned in our sophomore year confident of success. A lot of this cockiness was knocked out of us when we were presented with our new schedule. Again we faced algebra but on a high- er plane. We switched from Caesar to Cicero to plod further into the exploits of the Roman Em- pire. Also Spanish was injected into our curricula. Therefore, we faced a stiff year but one that bore fruit. Our sports were limited to intramural athletics. A growing demand for sports was swelling among all the classes of the high school . We progressed onward in our studies, cram- ming for exams and striving bravely to decode the puzzling writings of the Romans. Once again winter turned to spring and another group of upperclassmen graduated. The war was now over and we looked forward to a new era throughout the country and at Oratory. JUNIOR YEAR 1946 - 1947 When we arrived back at Oratory we were greeted with the happy news of the resumption of sports. The spirit of the school increased hun- dredfold and the turnouts for each sport were large. We did not fare well in football and bask- etball. But on the diamond we looked good and showed promise. A large number of the class of '48 was well represented in all these sports. We saw a growing athletic program gradually becom- ing a reality, thanks to Father Bain and to Mr. Weber who volunteered his services as coach. We worked hard this year both at athletics and studies. The world was at peace and all was serene at Oratory-until the final exams. The traditional cramming was on and everyone breathed a sigh of relief when the week of t-he finals was over. As we watched the seniors receive their dip- lomas we couldn't help wondering what we'd look like only a year away. SENIOR YEAR 1947 - 1948 ' Our last year was upon us. Our studies were easier and fewer than the past years since we had worked off our necessary credits. But still we had 20 our class leaders as well as our sport leaders who set the pace. On the field of sport we were much better. Our football team still lacked a victory but our Court combination turned in a winning season. The class of '48 still formed the nucleus of these teams. The weeks passed too swiftly here at Oratory. The months slipped by unnoticed. No sooner were the mid-term exams over than we were pre- paring for june. We laughed when we looked at the freshmen. We didnlt look like that! Were we that small? It is hard to believe but some of us were even smaller. It isn't easy to leave Oratory. To most of us this was our second home. The years we have spent here will always be a pleasant part of our life. The fun we had to-gether from wobbly- kneedl' freshmen to college-minded seniors will al- ways be a memory that will draw a chuckle. The football and basketball games, the jug classes, the dances, all these will be vivid in our memory. Also we'll recall Father Kelly and Father Bain who were always helpful and kind to us. We'll remember Father Fox who straightened us out so many times with our problems. The friendship extended to us by the priests and faculty will al- ways l:e an inspiration to us. It's funny, we couldn't wait to graduate when we were juniors and sophomores when the grind was tough. Now, way down deep, many of us wish we were back there again even with old Julius Caesar and Cicero. We have made many friendships amongst us which are more than high school fancies. We'll miss our friends we leave here in the faculty and the student body, but most of all we'll miss the spirit of Oratory which guided us through these past years.

As a forward in basketball, the high scorer for 1948, and third baseman in baseball, he has won praise and recognition.

METAYER Chico Deslan, that is how he is known to his folks back home in Haiti, came to us last Sep- tember, speaking only French but with a smile that was American from ear to ear. He im-i pressed us with his genuine piety and deep culture - he reads Moliere and Racine -- and he has won himself a place in the hearts of all at Oratory. At Port-au-Prince, Chico,' has his own motor boat and motorcycle, and expects soon to be piloting his own plane, He says he wants to be an engineer, but if we are to judge from the number of his friends, his winning disposi- tion, and the numerous visits to the Embassy at Washington, Deslan is sure to be president of Haiti. Bon voyage! Chico. VICTOR G. ORMACHEA Vit The above picture is one of our South Ameri- can neighbors. Friendly and generous, he is well liked. Vic resides in La Paz, Bolivia. Our friendly neighbor came to Oratory in 1945 and since then has immediately made friends with everyone here. His easy-going disposition is admired by all. A hard worker in the class room, his marks are good. Vic plans to be an engineer and will spend the next four years in sunny California study- ing.

Without Paul, such an ardent follower of sports here at Oratory, not to forget his Pop'sl' pickup truck, we are sure many a person would have gotten to the games on foot. What's a fellow with such a record going to do? We have it first hand he is going to study to be a traffic manager. Best of luck to you, Paul, in the future and come back and see us.

YPope Pius XI SENIOR PROM AND DINNER A year ago this june Oratory held its first post-war prom at the Beechwood Hotel Ballroom in Summit. Since this occasion was to be one of our many firsts all the lirst nighters were there with their girls. The prom called for, of course, formal dress but the choice of jackets was optional. Most of the sophomores, juniors, and seniors arrived early and were treated to a handsome dinner. The Hoor was then cleared and we danced happily on into morning. This last january an Alumni Dance was held at which thejuniors and seniors re- newed old acquaintances with the grads of yesteryear. The music was swell thanks to another alumnus, Buddy Dillon, who provided his talents and his orchestra. We know that Father Bain and the faculty were pleased to see the representative spirit which was exhibited so well by High School and Alumni. We look to the future for more enjoyable times such as these. tkjgiti ALUMNI REUNION The old grads of our Alma Mater held a reunion recently, At this meeting a new Alumni Club was organized and its officers were elected for the coming year. Many new plans were discussed but the main question they all had was: What about our new athletic field? They are all ready and eager to help. This kind of spirit will never cease at Oratory. With the ground being broken in early summer it is ex- pected to be completed in time for the reopening of school in September. The Alumni and the other numerous school organizations are all pooling their resources for the betterment of the school they all love so well. None of the Alumni will ever forget the happy years spent here at The Oratoryf' We, the future alumni, hope we too someday have a chance to do something for our Alma Mater. We sincerely hope that we can keep up this organization which does so much for the spirit of the school. We also hope that the officers elected to their respective othces keep on doing the hne work which they started. The task ahead of them is a long and hard one, but with the help and grace of God the spirit of Oratory will live forever. Him fe..-J THE MOTHERS' CLUB To our mothers we owe many things, even life itself. They have cared for us when sick and rejoiced with us when good fortune came upon us. Not content with all the trials and tribulations connected with rearing us, they go a step further and help us with our schoolrwork. In order to get more acquainted with the school and help us the Mothers' Club was organized in 1940. Through this organization the mothers and the faculty are brought closer together for the ultimate benefit of the boy. Through the medium of card parties, funds have been raised for much additional equipment that has directly benefited the boys. The list is varied and the things bought for the boys expensive. A complete chemical and physics laboratory heads the list, followed by an organ for the chapel, a recreation room, and last but not least, their latest task and the most difficult one, the building of an athletic field. judging from the plans and the surveying they have made, at their own expense, the field is really going to be something of which to be proud. Not content with this and their past achievements, they look forward to even greater fields to conquer. They would like to build, by means of card parties and other activities, an auditorium-gymnasium and classrooms. We agree that this is quite an undertaking. It will not be done without headaches. But recalling the past achievements of the Club, we are sure that if they expend the same efforts and receive our cooperation success will be an easy goal. A xi-.-. THE FATHERS' CLUB On November li, 1947, a meeting of fathers of Oratory students was called by liather Bain to discuss plans for the improvement of the athletic field. It was a dinner meeting and the fathers, about thirty in number, were treated by Father Bain and the other school authorities to a fine meal. The discussion of business came after- wards and action was taken to determine the condition of the present site and how it might be modified in the most economical fashion and at the same time conform to future plans for buildings and grounds. Mr. A. Crummy, who has had considerable experience in such matters at Seton Hall College and elsewhere, kindly volunteered to enlist the service of an engineer and between them prepare some preliminary recom- mendations for consideration at a later date. The enthusiasm was so great at the first meeting of men-parents that the suggestion was made that the group be organized as a permanent association known as The Oratory Fathers' Club. Dr. C. Rubenstein was elected Presidentg Mr. Henry An- dreini, Vice Presidentg Mr. W. Smith, Treasurerg and Mr. W. Sweeney, Secretary. lt is hoped that strong attendance will be the rule at future meetings, that the club will accomplish things of value to both school and students, and that the fathers them- selves will get a great deal of pleasure and satisfactioa out of the endeavors and its associations. Ad Al'I'are Dei For+y Hours The Chapel of Our Lady of +he Angels 52 THE ORATCRIAN The Oratorian is the first year book that has been published by a graduating class at Gratory in several years, Due to the war and the shortages that prevailed, the materials for a worthy yearbook were not present. Now that we are living in the post-war era, we luve resumed publication with hope that this Oratorian will top all predecessors. As the years will pass we will cherish the memories that this book will recall to us. Although there have been many obstacles and discourageneents, ue hope that you will enjoy reading this book as much as we have enjoyed producing it.

Mr. Charles Baatz volunteered his services as moderator and director. Appointment of othcers was made with Robert McAuliffe presiding as presi- dent, Louis DeBiasse, secretary, and Williarn McAuliffe, treasurer. A definite date was set for the bi-monthlyq meeting of the club, and on these occasions discussions were to be held concerning recent scientific progress. Arrange- ments were made for subscriptions to scientific journals and magazines which would benefit the Club. Catalogs, which covered laboratory apparatus, were obtained and plans were made to acquire the necessary equipment. The members plan to compete for scientific scholarships which would not only help themselves but would also assist in spreading the school name. Although the Club is in its infancy, there are high hopes of its success. An extra-curricular activity such as this is a good meter to record the growing spirit here at the Oratory. 15: ,,,?49 I. f f .fl 'f f-1 Q , A 'Z T, ,ff1,, f' f WM A ,W f, , I 'M x 45 iq ft' gk 5- s M' xx W' f N, ww f - W 4 T5 , .X ,Z I 1 N, J' ffvg, M 6 f ,J i P f X5 X A VT .ix , LMI , I X lfgffl ' 2 N f x f H ? j xp y x 33? f R ' R y fi E-fn' ' X ,,:X,lXX- X b Qu.-m.

A comprehensive outlook cannot he obtained from the scores alone. We fielded a very light team with the backfield averaging around 150 pounds and the line a very light 157. The team also lacked experience but not fight. Coach Weber did well with the material he had on hand, On the first day of September practice six lettermen returned. They were Richard DePoortere, jim Cuddy, Henri Delan, Jim Farley, johnny Martin, and Vinny Grounard. These boys were to form the nucleus of the squad. Two weeks before the initial game the team held a scrimmage with Roselle Park's jayvees. Wife exhibited a good ground game but our passing left much to be ironed oit. ORATORY O f ST. BERNARTYS 25 When the preegame jitters had worn off, our scirlet clad opponents held a decided edge in the scoring column which could not be erased. Our formation, oi quick opening plays, worked well and we had many scoring opportunities but we lacked that extra punch. ORATORY 6 f HOLY TRINITY 21 This game provided our first touchdown through a line buck by halfback jack Denman late in the last period. But Trindell was lostflost on the opening kickoff when his ankle was injured. We came to life in the last half with johnny Martin and Clem Barbera tossing aerials to our ends Kirk, Cuddy, and Grounard. ORATORY O 4 DELBARTON 37 The Blue and Gold suffered an off day against our bitterest rival from Morristown. Bad passing and a poor ground offense plagued us. Our opponents frequently inter- cepted our aerials which led to many of the scores. ORATORY 6 - GOOD COUNSEL 26 We traveled to Newark's Schools Stadium next to meet the Gaels of 'Good Counsel. They exhibited too much power and experience and scored easily. johnny Martin scored for the Blue and Gold on the old quarterback sneak. Playing conditions were poor but we showed a hard fight throughout the fray. ORATORY 6 - PINGRY 39 Pingry had a field day scoring at will. Like the Good Counsel game we were outmatched. By this game our team was under attack of sprained ankles and broken noses. The Blue and Gold offered lots of fight to the Betseytowners and frequently caught them napping with tricky T formation plays. Our passing was good with Charlie Kirk and Grounard showing promise. jim Cuddy registered our only tally. ORATORY 6 - ST. LUIQES 38 Playing on a very sloppy field full of puddles and mud the Summit aggregation got off to a flying start but was hampered by the mud and a poor defense. Our backs were faster and shiftier than our opponents but could not get started. Our line turned in a good game. Frenchy Dejan, and john Lusardi were good along with Vic Paturzo, Leo Dougherty and others. jimmy Farley provided the best run of the season when he scored on a wide end sweep. On a dry field we are sure the score would have been in our favor. In summary our season we admit was poor, but at all times the team showed a fighting spirit which was overcome by our opponents depth and experience. The team is grateful to Coach Weber who spent so much time with them. Letters were presented to the following men: jim Farley, Charlie Kirk, johnny Martin, jim Cuddy, jack Denman, Henri Dejan, Vic Paturzo, john Lusardi, Leo Dougherty, Ed Velton, Ray Gadala, Clem Barbera and Bill McAuliffe. ' 19 s BASKETBALL The Oratory Basketball Squad, aided by Coach Welver and valuable experience, enjoyed a suc- cessful season this year compiling an 8 and 14 record for the campaign. Captained by Bud Trin- dell, the Blue and Gold got off to a poor start the first fe '.14' gamer, but suddenly found itself when it boasted a five-game winning streak at the expense of some very good quintets. Pingry of lilizabeth managed to snap this streak by the slim margin of three markers. We suffered three such defeats by less than three points. In spite of the bad luck the team looked good frequently, whether in defeat or victory. Donny Busch led in the scoring department compiling 250 points, counting tournament honors, and twice hit the twenties. Bud Trindell special- ized with his set shot, ranking as second in the scoring. Ray Gadala, the shortest man on the team, paralyzed many opponents with his deft dribbling and shooting. Jim Cuddy who worked off the pivot as center, added height under the boards and frequently scored on his over-the-head set shot. jim Farley, the only junior, rounded out the starting five. His rebound work proved valuable. Our reserves were equally dependable. Charlie Kirk looked good often, along with johnny Martin, jack Denman, and Frenchy Dejan, Due to limited space a complete review of the season would be impossible. But the high- lights of the season should be brought out. 58 Vifhen the regular season was completed everyone waited anxiously for news from the Catholic Schools Athletic Association officials Concerning tournament hopes. The good news arrived and we went into the quarterffinals of the class D section, skipping the first round be- cause of our superior record. We met St. Bon- aventure of Paterson at St. Benedicts Gymnasium in Newark. St. Bonaventure had previously knocked off Delbarton in the opening round. The Bons exhibited very good shooting eyes, es- pecially from the foul line, and won 51 to 40, despite the individual efforts of Busch and Gad- ala who netted 27 for their team. Despite this decisive defeat the Blue and Gold must have rendered a good account of itself to be invited to compete in the tourney. Everyone remembers the night we toppled Delbarton for our first win, We have enjoyed a friendly but heated rivalry with the lads from Morristown for quite a length of time, and this victory and the one that followed repaid a debt we owed from the gridiron season. Coach Weber was certainly proud and the team promised him more victories. The second fray with College High School provided a thriller which we lost in sudden death. Charlie Kirk was almost the hero on his crucial foul shot which put us in the lead with seconds to go. But the Ponies tied it up with their own free throw and eventually won. We lost the second Sacred Heart game in the last few seconds. Everyone remembers that, especially 'lim Cuddy, who was high scorer for his only time this year, and it had to be in a losing effort. He came close often but the time he was high scorer we had to lose. All recall how well Bud Trindell played in the first Bayley game when he led the team with 18 markers. That was a close loss also. But Don Busch and Ray Galada made up for it in winning efforts when Busch hit for 22 against Delbarton and 21 in a close defeat against ringry. Ray G,zdala's push shots netted him 21 against XVardlaw. There are many memories which every grad- uating member of the squad will never forget, The thrill it was to win and to know you played a good game-the happy nervousness you felt when you dribbled out onto the court for your school a--- the center jump and the game was on - Omfwry Ojvffmrfiffzz 28 .e..

The graduating Seniors wish him success next year and hope that that season will be better yet. Letters were presented to the following men: Captain Bud Trindell, Don Busch, Ray Gadala, jim Cuddy, jim Farley, Charlie Kirk, johnny Martin and jack Denman. Ommrj Opjmajfjfnz 53 ......

So far as one can tell the baseball team looks very promising since we have a lot of line material here this year which should round out one of the best teams in the history of the school. Last year the Oratory Prep team collected tour wins out of ten tries. This year the team will have more experienced players whom we know will make a good showing. Among the lettermen we have back this year will be Red Valestin, jim Farley, Don Busch, George Esposito, Leonard Schley, jack Denman and johnny Martin. VC'e also have a host of new entries on the roster and a lot of last year's second stringers. Coach Welvei' expects that we will win ten out of our thirteen games. Included in our thirteen game schedule will be Delbarton, our traditional rivals and St, Bernards of Gladstone whom we met twice last year, winning one game and dropping the other. Flash!

Hopelcssly behind at the three- quarter mark by a score of 36-12, the Wardlaw fivc suddenly came to life and poured on the coal to out- score their opponents by 12 points in the final stanza. The last five minutes really made the game worth, watching. Led by Brian Murray and Dick Vogel made the old college try and came up with a majority of those miraculous 19 points. Up to that time the game had been s. hapless half-hour for the entirely in the first three sftnnzas. with only the brilliant work of Brian Murray and Dick Vogel saving the team, the last period came as a complete surprise to spectators and players alike. Brian Mur1'ay's six field goals and one foul topfped the loser's scoring. Runner-up to Murray for the home side was Dick Vogel with five goals and one foul for 11 points. However. the evening's 'honors went to forward Busch of Oratory with a total of nine goals or 18 points.

THE PHILIPPIAN BOARD, THE ORATORY SCHOOL, SUMMIT, NEW JERSEY. just received your wire. What do I know about Oratory? Volume and endur- ance is all there is to itg ideas don't mean a thing. If you had ideas you wouldn't be an orator. Thatls what distinguishes them from other kinds of talkers. I had no idea they were teaching it 'but as they are, why go ahead and learn it for the time is coming what it will be very beneficial, This is a day of specialization and a good orator makes a good politician and a good politician make a good salary and thats what we are all after.
