THE SCIENCE CLUB The Science Club was organized early last October by students who were in- terested in scientific research and also to further their knowledge of the subject. 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.

FOOTBALL The Oratory football team suffered one of the poorest seasons in years this last campaign with six setbacks and no victories. 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.
