f Edward J. Ennis Editor Charles B. Murphy Business Manager 1929 South Orange, 6 ATQUE VALE Four years — a little space to be remembered! How many of the men who went before Recall the scenes and memories we treasure! And after we have gone, how many more Will laugh and learn and play as we have done! There is an endless chain of little spaces That stretches down the years and out of mind; Each moving link breaks ties and brings new faces To live another link upon the chain And wear away the memory of those Who leave. Now we have spent our little space And is there even one of us who knows The names, or can recall one bright achievement Of those whose place we took at Seton Hall? Another four-year space — we’ll be forgotten, Our names and deeds and little triumphs — all. The scenes we leave are not the things to cherish, It is the years that, living, slipped away. We can come back to paths and walls. No man 8 10 DIOCESE OF NEWARK CHANCERY OFFICE THIRTY-ONE. MULBERRY STREET NEWARK. NEW JERSEY April 23, 1929, To The Class of 29, Seton Hall College, South Orange, N.J. My dear Students , It affords me great pleasure to extend my blessing and felicitations to the Class of 1929 of Seton Hall College on the occasion of the publication of their Year-Book, The White and Blue . li Ye who built the churches where we worship , Ye who framed the laws by which we move. . . No graduate of a Catholic college can be unmindful of the great part which the influence of the medieval uni- versity has played in his education. Our four years have given us a glimpse of the rich heritage handed down to us by those almost forgotten scholars who studied and taught centuries ago much of what is too generally considered to be the exclusive knowledge of our own times. As some small tribute to those founders of our educa- tional system we have attempted in the decorative theme of this volume to suggest, within the story of our own college years, the activities of the college students of the Middle Ages. 13 0 y e f(wnili ar scenes That once were mine and are no longer mine.

(£ T CKY” is the original, non-genuine without this signature, playboy. There is not an JL occasion from a flat tire to a good old-fashioned wake out of which he cannot get a laugh. Many of his pranks while enrolled at Seton Hall would bear recounting, but space does not permit. Alone, “Icky” is a great jester, but paired with Grif, as he usually is, the team seriously threatens the dignity of the gravest class. We can forgive “Icky” his inimitable foolishness, however, when we realize the service he has rendered the school in the capacity of Manager of the Varsity baseball team. After getting his training under the able tutelage of Joe Gavin during 1928, “Icky” assumed entire charge of arranging a schedule and performing the other managerial duties for the 1929 season. His efforts have been well rewarded and have resulted in one of the best balanced schedules a Setonian nine has faced in years. Although his early ambition was to own a soda fountain, he is at present undecided as to what line of endeavor shall be benefited by his ability. 40 ADDISON BENEDICT CLOHOSEY, A.B.

T HERE is one term which completely and perfectly describes Add — assurance. He is the personification of confidence. Whether reciting a too hastily prepared lesson, or awaiting the starter ' s gun at a track meet, this curly headed Adonis radiates that faith in his own ability to succeed which we predict will carry him far along life’s road to accomplishment. Add has serenely and successfully sailed through eight years at Seton Hall and has yet to lose his perfect poise. But do not imagine that Add’s aplomb is not grounded in ability. His is no empty assurance inanely persisting in the face of repeated failure. For example, when offered the position of Coach of track in the College, Add accepted calmly and confidently. In spite of numerous obstacles which would have discouraged a less determined individual, he turned out successful teams and aided in making the Annual Track Meet a credit to the school. Socially Add’s poise and suavity make him perfectly at home at every formal gathering. The difficulties of post-school life hold no terrors for Add, whose self-reliance should serve him well in his chosen profession. JOHN JOSEPH COAKLEY, A.B. Glee Club, 3, 4; Freshman Football; Freshman Baseball; Freshman Basketball. T O be the smallest man in a graduating class is, in a certain sense, a disadvantage. One has to become accustomed to the practical jokes of his more massive classmates. I o “Coke,” however, diminutiveness has never been a liability, since his fiery and dauntless courage always gave would-be practical jokers pause. And besides, the refectory high chair had been gathering dust before his arrival. “Coke’s” ambition has always been to travel. This desire he partially satisfied last sum- mer by making a trip to Europe, but the urge is still strong, and the good will ambassador of the future may be none other than “Shorty.” “Coke” will sleep soundly at almost any time or place. As a result he has been dubbed “sleeping beauty.” We feel sure that the first word is very apropos. This habit of “Coke’s” never seemed to lower his scholastic standard, and in fact, often encouraged the rest of us to try to snatch a few winks in class, but somehow or other the result was always disastrous. The answer is that “Coke” has an enviable ability to assimilate a lesson rapidly. “Coke’s” easy going manner and careless optimism make him a figure that the members of the class of ’29 will greatly miss. 42 JAMES PHILIP CUNNINGHAM, B.S. Freshman Basketball. J IM is a reserved chap, but possessed of very decided opinions upon a variety of subjects. These he defends emphatically on any and all occasions. Even the worthy faculty have not entirely escaped the darts of Jim’s controversy. He is also easily the class authority on betting odds, and will not only quote odds on anything from the outcome of a presidential race to what student is due for a phil recita- tion, but he will back his opinion with the long green. Jim spent the first year of his quest for a degree at New York University, but trans- ferred to Seton Hall at the beginning of his Sophomore year. This change has necessitated an irregular schedule of classes for Jim, and has given rise to that ever recurring excuse which his friends always offered for his absence from any class, “He’s taking French, (leave) Jim is a bridge fiend and also excels at basketball and soccer. He captained the latter sport in his Senior year at St. Benedict’s Prep. We‘ are not aware of Jim’s plans for his future, but believe he would make a success- ful politician. Witness the Admiration cigars with which he is invariably well supplied. JAMES ALOYSIUS DONNELLY, B.S. Baseball, 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club, 1, 2, 3; Freshman Baseball, Basketball, Football; Track, 2; Biology Club, 4. T HERE is an interesting story connected with the origin of Jim ' s Seton Hall nickname “Bucky. It seems that when he was a Freshman he heard the other newcomers singing the praises of their home town and, burning with a laudable spirit of civic pride, wished to advertise the advantages of Pittston, Pa. After racking his brain for a long time, he remembered that none other than the illustrious “Bucky Harris, Manager of the Senators, hailed from Jim ' s home town. Nay more, he lived only a stone ' s throw from Jim’s house, and in fact, the two were bosom friends. The story was a good one but the sophisticated Freshmen failed to be impressed. Thinking that constant repetition of the yarn, with due stress on the celebrity ' s name, might drive home its importance, Jim told the tale so often that he came to be called “Bucky Harris Donnelly. The years softened the epithet to just plain “Bucky. ‘‘Buckv ' s prowess on the diamond bids fair to gain him a reputation no less admirable than that of his eminent namesake, so Pittston will never have cause to be ashamed of her native son. THOMAS EDWARD DONNELLY, A.B. Glee Club, 4; Ring Committee, 4. T OM must have something which he wishes to conceal from us because he quietly but firmly refused to be drawn out by ye editor on the subject of his past. For this reason it is difficult to portray the silent and modest Thomas. But in so far as we have, after long persistance, been able to penetrate his reserve we have found him to be a very likable although a rather studious chan. He was originally a member of the Class of ’28 but lost a year after Junior because of poor health. The fact that he misses his former classmates we presume to be the reason for his pronounced reticence. Unlike the great majority of his polished classmates Tom shaves faithfully every day. In fact, we doubt whether he has ever been discovered sans sleek hair comb, sans me- ticulously knotted cravat, sans perfectly creased trousers, and sans well shined shoes. We do not know what Tom intends to do after Commencement, but w r e predict with- out much hesitation that his taciturnity will gain him the confidence of his business asso- ciates when they discover that it masks other sterling qualities. 45 JAMES MARTIN DOYLE, JR., A.B.

I P is entirely fitting and proper that Jersey City should have sent us our greatest politician. In Jim she has produced a man worthy to take his place among the successful political leaders of New Jersey. Always of a practical turn of mind, Jim has been indispensable in handling the business affairs of both the Dramatic Society and the Athletic Association. • The annual show will suffer a great loss when Jim graduates, for his tireless efforts in behalf of the financial department of the past Varsity shows have been greatly responsible for the prosperity which has accompanied each production. The same is true of hfs administra- tion of the affairs of the Athletic Association, and especially of the recent Track Meet It seems a bit incongruous that one so evidently gifted in commercial and political talents should study phi , but it was due to his realization of the importance of a thorough ground- lng in correct ethical principles necessary to guide him aright through the devious paths of life, that Jim matriculated at Seton Hall. p school ftCr graduation Jim intends 10 teac h high school, and at the same time attend law- 46 EDWARD JOHN ENNIS, B.S.

Mere words will not suffice to portray ’29’s best bet, and perhaps that observation sums up Ed and his character and his accomplishments as accurately as pen and paper permit. He is by far the ablest student in his class, he is the Editor-in-Chief of this issue of “The White and Blue,” he is a regular fellow in every sense of the word, and he is of such a sort that the absolute insistence of all the other members of the staff was necessary to over- rule his objection to these paragraphs. W T e would list the unsolving of practically unsolvable philosophical problems as Ed’s major ability if it were not for the fact that he writes, talks, plays tennis and drives a car equally well. In order to add a mortal touch we mention that his golf score runs into three figures, that his taste in neckties is bizarre, and that his handwriting is indecipherable. Ed is one of those fellows who “don’t want millions but an answer to their questions.” With his keen intellect and tremendous energy he is in a position to obtain both. 47 FREDERICK CHARLES ESSER.

His studies never ruffled him, but he always managed to make a satisfactory showing. Socially Heinie contributed his bit to the entertainment of his companions by his singing. Fred is a charter member of that famous group of Seniors who comprise the “Frigidaire Club,” and likewise an essential part of the “Frigidaire Trio.” How many times in the morning, before class, have the famous trio been cut off abruptly while rendering some close harmony in “My Blackbirds are Bluebirds Now,” by the sudden appearance of Father Sheerin. And what a discouraging thing it was to drop from the magic sphere of melody to the stern reality of phil. Probably the most admirable quality which Fred possesses is his refreshing friendliness. He is equally gracious with a lowly Freshman as with his own classmates. This is a characteristic which is often conspicuous by its absence in Seniors, and it should contribute much towards Fred ' s popularity and success in life after Commencement.

TACK is one of the charter members of the Wednesday Matinee Club, an organization I of brave souls whose passion for the drama often led them to incur faculty displeasure in the cultivation of this aesthetic side. Viewing the “legit” from the vantage point of a seat “way down in front” he considers one of the compensations of student life, and the minutes of the club credit him with a perfect attendance record. But it is not as a playgoer that we want to present Jack, nor as a student, although he is one of the best. Rather we wish to offer him as the prototype of genuine good-fellow- ship. Jack is one of those rare beings richly endowed with “each talent and each art to please.” Whether presiding over a meeting of the Debating Society, or boisterously in- dicating his preference for “roast pork on marble-cake” at a certain so-called tea room in the village, he displays the same engaging personality. In addition, he possesses a keen sense of humor and a polish that is not of the surface kind. For these we can forgive his addiction to the saxophone. Scholar, wit and gentleman. What need to wish him well? THOMAS JOSEPH FLANAGAN, A.B. Biolog}’ Club, 4; “White and Blue” Business Staff, 4; Debating, 3, 4. B EFORE writing these biographies we asked each Senior certain questions. Tom’s answers to some of these we consider too good to be lost to our readers, and so we are including them in this account: Q. Where have you travelled? A. To Niagara Falls, and not on a honeymoon, either. Q. Do you intend to marry? A. It might be used against me if I said no. Q. What do you consider the most beautiful thing in your experience? A. Do you want her name or only her phone number? From which is will be evident that Tom ' s talents included a spontaneous wit which has furnished us much quiet amusement. His sunny disposition and ever ready smile make him a welcome addition to every gathering. Although he never played arsity basketball, Tom was an ardent supporter of the team, and on numerous occasions drove more than a hundred miles to cheer them on to victory. It is of such stuff that real sons of Seton Hall are made, and in Tom our Alma Mater will ever have a staunch supporter. 50 LOUIS EDWARD GRECO, B.S. Dramatics, 1, 2, 3, 4; Debating, 4; Orchestra, 1, 2, 3 4; Glee Club, 1, 2, 3; Class Vice- President, 1 ; Biology Club 4. S T. Peter’s Prep has been the nursery where many an embryonic Setonian gained a knowledge of the fundamentals of the histrionic art, but in no case were her guiding efforts so successful as in that of M’sieu Greco. Coming to us with an imposing record of dramatic experience w ' hich included six years in the cast of the Passion Play, “Veronica’s Veil,” Lou immediately received an important role in the Varsity show. His talents proved so rare that each succeeding production numbered him among its cast. His truly professional skill in playing the banjo has been a source of enjoyment to his classmates during four years. Lou joined the college orchestra; later he played solos at entertainments and smokers at school; and finally his ability gained him the opportunity of playing over the radio, which he did every few ' weeks during his last two years in college. Although Lou claims he will enter the medical profession, it is our secret suspicion that such musical and dramatic talent will not long remain unsung, and perhaps in a few r years the glittering firmament of Broadway will boast another star. JOHN FRANCIS GRIFFIN, A.B. Varsity Basketball, 1, 2, 3, 4; Dramatics, 1, 2, 3, 4; Coach of Freshman Basketball, 3, 4; Glee Club, 2, 3; Class Treasurer, 2. RIF” is the biggest man in the class, being six feet two and a half inches tall and vJ weighing 195 pounds. This fact, however, did not prevent him from being a most irrepressible funmaker also. His fertile imagination was ever devising practical jokes which greatly amused his classmates. ‘‘Grit ' s” physique and alert mind make him a valuable member of the Varsity basket- ball team. Unfortunately, he played .the same position as that paragon of all centers, ‘‘Styx” Henaby. Thus it was that “Grif’s” true worth was frequently unappreciated. His work in coaching the yearling basketball team has produced some players w r ho should cause the Varsity men to look to their laurels next year. A reputation for being the class funster is not always something of which to be proud, but in the case of “Grif” it merely marks a sincere conviction that life contains so many unpleasant realities that the most sensible thing to do is to be happy and carefree while we may. This is his philosophy of life, school life at least, and we do not think that “Grif’s” spontaneous overflow of good spirits will ever interfere with his future success. 52 FRANCIS EDWARD HENABY, B.S. Varsity Basketball, 1, 2, 3, 4; Varsity Baseball, 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Secretary, 4; Captain Basketball, 4. A THLETICALLY speaking, “Styx” stands alone. His accomplishments both on the court and the diamond during his four-year stay at Seton Hall have added another brilliant chapter to the school’s athletic history. As captain and center of the 1928-29 varsity basketball team he climaxed his career by leading Frank Hill’s machine through to glorious success after a series of mid-season injuries that made the future seem dark indeed. In baseball his trusty right arm has been a mighty bulwark in the defense of Setonia ' s diamond prestige for the past four years. His lean and angular build make possible the blinding speed that is his greatest forte, and anyone who has seen opposing batters mowed down by that famous fast ball w ill testify to “Styx’s” greatness. But there is another side to “Frank.” His ever-present good nature and willingness to lend a hand in any enterprise, however small, have made him one of the most popular members of the Class of ’29. And, in spite of the adulation that goes hand in hand with athletic greatness, he has remained the same jovial, unassuming “Styx.” We are going to remember him. RICHARD VINCENT KEEGAN, A.B.

A LTHOUGH he did not come to Seton Hall until the beginning of his Junior year, “Kick” rapidly assumed a prominent place among the members of the class of ' 29. Never a publicity seeker, yet, in his own quiet w r ay, he became extremely active in extracurricular interests, track and dramatics occupying the major part of his spare time and attention. Before entering Seton Hall “Kick’s” college days w T ere spent at Fordham. It remained, however, for Seton Hall to uncover “Kick ' s” ukelele playing talent, and his desire to sleep late in the morning. Always an ardent Kodak fan, “Kick” was pressed into service by the “White and Blue” Staff with the result that the snapshots which embellish this year-book are the result of his untiring energy. For the past few months we have seen him stalking various seniors, cornering them, and, after posing them in suitable attitudes, “snapping” them. As to his future plans, “Kick” is undecided, but it is a safe bet that life will hold no terrors for this blond, carefree youth, whose affable manner makes him an immediate favorite in every group. 54 Baseball, 1, 2, 3, 4; Track, 1, 2, 3, 4; Soccer, 4; Chairman, Ring Committee 4; Glee Club, 2 , 3; Junior Night Octette; Class Secretary 2; Freshman Football. W E have always greatly regretted the fact that Seton Hall has no Varsity football team representing the College, and when Harry arrived at Setonia that regret increased a hundredfold. He has the natural endowment of a perfect physique added to an un- usually keen football sense. Altho denied the opportunity of making a name for Seton Hall on the gridiron, as a member of a Varsity squad, Harry put his talent to work where it could be well used and was a star on the crack Frosh team of ’25. Football is not the only sport at which “Hans” excels. He has represented Seton Hall on every athletic team except basketball. Besides his athletic abilities, Harry boasts of being no mean auto mechanic and many an ailing car has responded to his diagnosis and treatment. Although “Harry’s” general appearance in no way resembles that of the traditionally anaemic professor, yet teaching is, at present, Harry’s chosen vocation. To this end he may be seen travelling to Kearney High School every Thursday in order to do practice teaching. Harry should make an efficient teacher. He has the necessary knowledge, can impart it clearly, and certainly will have no trouble disciplining his charges. 55 DANIEL JOSEPH LEAMY, B.S. Soccer, 4; Freshman Baseball. O NE of Harrison ' s most colorful products is Dan, more popularly known as “Beans.” His early schooling was obtained at Holy Cross Parochial School and at Kearny High. While attending these institutions Dan engaged in athletics of all kinds and starred in soccer. When in the fall of 1928 a Varsity soccer team was organized at Seton Hall the old urge to get out and kick a ball up and down a field caused Dan to go out for the team. His natural talent for the game immediately won him a place on the first team, and his brilliant playing throughout the season kept him in the limelight of undergraduate approval. Off the soccer field, Dan is a carefree sort of individual who does not take the world too seriously and believes that a smile is worth a hundred frowns in any market. This quality of cheerfulness has made his life and also those of his friends at Seton Hall a pleasant and light hearted period, the equal of which will be hard to find in after life. 56 JOHN MILTON MACDONALD, B.S. Biology Club, 4; Freshman Basketball. O NE of the most reserved fellows in the class of 1929 is ‘‘Mac, and until we got to know him better w r e were inclined to leave him to himself. One day that indefatigable golfer, Paul Raftery, having heard “Mac” admit that he played the game once in a while, challenged him to a round. We do not wish to detract from the fame of our estimable Setonian Editor but he should have known better than to match drivers with a Scotchman. After losing a few rounds of golf to “Mac” we all developed a greater respect for him, and true friendship grew out of a casual acquaintance. “Mac” has travelled over a large part of the United States and can spin some interesting yarns of his experiences in various states. The Biology Club had an extremely active member in the person of “Mac.” and was ably represented by him at the annual convention of the “Association of Biology Clubs of Catholic Colleges” at Holy Cross in the spring of 1929. His knowledge of chemistry and biology is wide and varied. He plans to enter the field of medicine, and his preparation for his chosen profession has certainly been a sound one. 57 PAUL VINCENT MAHONEY, A.B. Debating, 3, 4; Junior Night Entertainment; Dramatics, 2, 3; Biology Club, 4. A T last we have discovered how Paul keeps that school girl complexion. It is not by the use of any patented preparation. Paul will tell you that he keeps not only his com- plexion, but his superb physique, in the well known pink by regular exercise. You see it is all a question of one’s maxillary muscles. They are of the utmost importance to the pre- servation of health (not to mention life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness) and must be watched carefully. At the first suggestion of falling armpits, which is the inevitable symptom of the dread disease, metabolism of the maxillary muscles, Paul recommends a stringent course of calisthenics — or is it calculus? Our memory is becoming befogged. When not giving the old maxillaries a good workout, Paul is interested in Biology, and frequently may be seen laboring over his own theory of ‘ ' Halitosis as it occurs in Earthworms ’ In spite of the good natured kidding which we subject him to, all of us have a real affection for Paul and expect great things of him in the not far distant future. 58 JOHN PATRICK McGUINNESS, A.B. Baseball, 2, 3, 4; Captain of Baseball, 4. F OR four years “Mac” has daily wended his way from the tall timber of Bernardsville to that cosmopolitan center of commerce and education which is South Orange. And for four years we have fearfully watched for some evidence of the insidious influence of the Big City on the unsophisticated country boy. But on Mac the dread toxin of urban boredom has not taken effect and he is now, as he was in 1925, unaffected, straightforward, and sincere. We admire him for his steady imperviousness to the wine of student acclaim which has been his since his election to the captaincy of Varsity baseball. Johnny’s quiet modesty is a characteristic which has marked his conduct during his entire college course both in class and on the athletic field. Mac’s unassuming disposition might possibly mislead those who are unaware of his talents, but after watching his work on the diamond for a few minutes the most critical would be forced to admit his worth. And this, we predict, will be the course of events in whatever type of business Mac enters after Commencement. His modesty cannot long hide his real ability. 59 DANTE GEORGE MONACO, A.B. Dramatics, 1, 2; Debating, 4; Biology Club, 4. D ON’T let the classical name frighten you, for Dante is not in the least like his sombre namesake. On the contrary, he is a very jovial fellow, blessed with a genial, optimistic, and cheerful nature which asks nothing better than the friendship of his classmates to complete his satisfaction with life. In common with his inseparable side kick, Louie Greco, Dante is an accomplished actor and has a record of dramatic experiences extending back to his high school days at St. Peter’s Prep. Dante is a great admirer and imitator of the Prince of Wales. In fact, he so thoroughly approves of Eddie that he took up horseback riding some time ago. Imagine his joy when he succeeded in being thrown from his horse on two separate occasions. Together with many of the other members of that pride of Seton Hall, the Class of ’29, Dante intends to study law after Commencement. The Seniors must expect that another crime wave is about to break over the country. Seriously, though, we will miss Dante’s good natured smile, and in parting we wish him every success. 60 Biology Club, 4; Dramatics, 4; Debating Club, 3, 4; “White and Blue” Bus. Staff, 4. I F the Class of ’29 were to choose one of its members to be a delegate to a convention of college students, “Moon” would be one of the first considered. He has an air of assurance, sincerity, and energy, which immediately compels the respect and attention of his associates. In scholastic attainment “Moon” has an enviable record which is the result of his keen interest in improving himself and of his never failing application to study. The latter he does in a quiet way and avoids any scramble for honors. In short, “Moon’ 1 is a serious Student who would be a creditable addition to any class. From the foregoing eulogy one might think “Moon” a dull grind whose only diversion con- sisted in quizzing chance acquaintances on their opinion of the philosophy of Plato. This, however, is far from being true, for he is an accomplished dancer and a proficient per- former on the ukelele. Besides this, he has all the cops in Jersey City frantic over the way he pilots his Whippet through traffic. “Moon’s” ambition is to study law, and we predict that his chosen profession will one day list him among her leaders. 61 CHARLES BORROMEO MURPHY, A.B.

I N every class there is one outstanding figure to whom the rest look for leadership in all things. Such a person is Charlie who, as may be verified from the imposing list of activi- ties enumerated above, has been the most influential as well as the most respected man in the Class of J 29 for the past four years. Although always popular with his classmates, Charlie did not gain his enviable place in extra-curricular interests solely on that score. Responsibilities w r ere heaped upon his willing shoulders because we always knew, instinctively at first, and later as a result of experience, that he would be entirely capable of handling any task in an efficient manner. In spite of his prominent place in the Class of ’29, Charlie never adopted that big-man- on-the-campus attitude. He accomplished things in a quiet and matter of fact way which won him the admiration of his fellow students. In school spirit and devotion to his Alma Mater, he was an example to all of us. It is Charlie s intention to study medicine, and it is our prediction that the profession will gain that which Seton Hall is reluctant to relinquish — a sincere, capable, and altogether estimable gentleman. 62 JAMES EDWARD NAUGHTON, A. B. Baseball, 1, 2, 3, 4; Manager Basketball, 4; Freshman Football. A NOTHER high school football star who certainly would have made a berth on a varsity team, if we had one, is “Butch.” However, he did not let a little thing like the lack of a football team prevent him from shining athletically while at Seton Hall, for he has played right field on the Varsity baseball team since his Sophomore year. Butch’s greatest triumph in extra-curricular activities came this year when he managed basketball and arranged a splendid schedule which provided for games with some of the best college teams in the East. Jim is quiet and generally non-committal in any discussion, but he impresses his comrades as one upon whom they can call for real friendship and support at any time. In studies Jim has always believed ' that a passing grade with an untroubled brow is infinitely preferable to an honor gained at the expense of many an hour of boning and many a discouraged headache. His system has its merits, when it works, and in Butch’s case it did w r ith agreeable consistency. Jim does not aspire to a profession, but intends simply to enter business after he gets his degree. 63 JAMES PATRICK O BRIEN, A.B. Freshman Football; Freshman Baseball. O IL burners will never supplant coal furnaces if ‘‘Obie” has anything to say about it. Being a loyal son of Wilkes-Barre, in the heart of the hard coal region, he will, and does, argue for hours on end anent the supremacy of coal over oil for heating purposes. And the ever increasing popularity of oil burners is a continual source of pain to this cham- pion of anthracite. We have never held it against him though, because we realize the bane- ful influence his home town has had on him. In his spare time “Obie’ is something of a merman and has always bemoaned the fact that while at Seton Hall his aquatic feats have been restricted to splashing about under the showers. It is reported that when a verdant Freshman, “Obie” was led by some mendacious Sophomore to believe that the woods on the southern part of the campus contained a very at- tractive sylvan pool. Greatly excited, he donned his bathing suit and set out manfully for a swim. Imagine his surprise, etc., etc. Seriously, though, “Obie” is gifted with a very agreeable nature, and this trait should enable him to make and keep many friends. 64 THOMAS FRANCIS O ' CONNOR, B.S. Coach Seton Hall Prep Soccer Team, 3; Coach Seton Hall Varsity Soccer Team, 4. T HERE is something uncanny in the unfailing ability of Harrison, that much maligned hamlet which is sandwiched in between Newark and the Meadows, to instill in her repre- sentatives a surpassing skill in soccer. Three of our number claim allegiance to ‘‘The Bee Hive of Industry, and all are no mean performers at the sport. Tom, however, not only plays the game but can teach it as well, and so in his J unior year he was given the position of coach of the Prep in soccer. After a successful season, Tom received the commission to organize and coach a Varsity team in the College. This he did in his usual thorough-going fashion, and a highly efficient team was produced which ran through a very satisfactory season. The longer one knows Tom, the greater becomes one ' s admiration for his quiet de- termination, unfailing courage, and dry humor. In Tom each one of us has a friend in whom confidence will never be wasted. Just as his likeable personality has endeared him to his classmates, so it will, we feel sure, win him the respect of those with whom he will be as- sociated in after life. JOSEPH PATRICK PHILLIPS, A.B. Glee Club, 2, 3, 4. T HE beginning of Sophomore year brought several new-comers t o our class from various colleges, but one who has always earned our admiration and respect is Joe. Unlike many of his classmates, he is very quiet and reserved, but his reticence is not the result of indifference or a desire to be left to himself. “Luke” is never so contented as when he is in the company of his friends. We have always suspected “Luke” of being a bit tender-hearted and sensitive. It seems to be on account of this noble trait of his that he has never been known to have an enemy in school or to say an unkind word about anyone. In his studies “Luke” is always conscientious and earnest, though giving the impression of being a bit awed by the professors, and not a little nervous in recitation. He strikes the keynote of his character when he says that his most thrilling experience was his first day at college. “Luke’s” unsophisticated boyishness is his greatest charm. We hope that worldly contact will not take that quality from him, for it is the trait which will make us remember him long after we have forgotten his more boisterous companions. GERALD BRANSFIELD RAFTERY, A.B. “Setonian” Staff, 1, 2, 3, 4; “White and Blue” Editorial Staff, 4; Dramatics, 3; Debating, 4. J UST as every graduating class has its incipient doctors, politicians, and actors, so also each invariably includes a budding poet. Generally, though, the youth would more fittingly be described by the word poetaster. The Class of ’29, however, is honored to number among its members a young man whose poetic talent is not merely promising, but whose work has already passed from that intangible state, and is now recognized as some- thing really fine. Not only do his admiring classmates predict lasting fame and glory for “Jerry” but no less critical a mind than Franklin P. Adams, conductor of “The Conning Tower” in the “New York World,” has accepted and published his poems. We do not pretend to be able to judge poetry competently but the striking imagery and the vital force of “Jerry’s” verses make them stick in our memory. When not writing Jerry is talking, and he has knowledge and opinions on almost every subject imaginable. Few of us will ever forget how promptly and providentially he would rescue us from a floundering recitation in phil by one of his lengthy harangues with Father Sheerin. “Jerry’s” literary fruition is, we feel confident, but a matter of time. That the time be brief is the earnest wish of Gerald’s classmates. 67 Editor of “Setonian,” 4; “Setonian” Staff, 1, 2, 3; Debating, 4; ‘‘White and Blue” Editorial Staff, 4; Freshman Baseball. L IT ERARA talent must surely run in the family of these Raftery freres because Paul is gifted with practically the same ability to write as his brother. In addition to pro- ducing some extremely effective poetry, Paul excels at any sort of humorous writing. Paul’s literary skill was also responsible for the high degree of excellence which made the 1928-’29 “Setonian” widely acknowledged as the finest yet published. His contributions and those of his brother Gerald to this issue of “The White and Blue” are largely respon- sible for any literary excellence it may possess. When not engaged in some literary activity Paul plays tennis or golf — or does nothing. At all three he is equally proficient. He has a natural aptitude for sport, but thinks that it should always be kept sport and not allowed by too serious an application to fall into the class of work. Paul’s refined good taste in clothes and his general air of cosmopolitan assurance have made him the recognized class authority on correct dress and cultured manner. In formal class work he makes no definite effort to surpass but prefers to let his native talent carry him along. Paul’s success in any line of endeavor should be the logical outcome of his exceptional abilities and engaging personality. 68 MARTIN ALOYSIUS ROONEY, A.B. “White and Blue” Business Staff, 4; Freshman Baseball; Biology Club, 4; Freshman Football; Debating, 4. A LTHOUGH a chronic “ten o ' clock scholar,” Marty never lacked an excuse for his tardi- ness, and the loquacity which he thus gained in four years stood him in good stead when he began soli citing advertisements for the year-book. Marty could always give every prospective but timid or recalcitrant advertiser at least six good reasons for placing the ad. In his Freshman year Marty played on the baseball and football teams, but for the past three years he has confined his athletic endeavors to boxing, at which sport Marty is Aeiy proficient. On several occasions he and “Hans” Kennedy boxed at class smokers. Marty is the personification of good natured camaraderie. He always has a friendly word for his classmates and is w r ell liked by all. This quality should be of great value to Marty when he starts teaching. We cannot understand why it is that these big he-men al- ways seem to go in for pedagogy, but it is a fact. Marty expects to take up the work im- mediately after graduation, and the proficiency in teaching which we feel sure he will exhibit should reflect glory on Seton Hall. 69 Baseball, 1, 2, 3, 4; Business Manager Setonian,” 4; Track, 1, 2, 3, 4; Assistant Business Manager “Setonian,” 3; President Biology Club, 4; “White and Blue” Editorial Staff, 4; Glee Club, 2, 3, 4. N EIL s a man of many and varied accomplishments. He is a capable student, and, when the spirit to study moves him, a brilliant one. He is an athlete whose abilities in- clude practically every sport. At Seton Hall his particular sphere has been the diamond on which he excelled for four years. His artistic skill evidences itself in his cartoons which enliven the “Setonian.” As a busi- ness man Neil proved his worth in the position of manager of the College paper. Neil can also play the piano with great facility. One would think that Nature, having endowed her favorite thus munificently, might well feel she had completed a good job. This was not the case, however, and her crowning gift was the inimitable sense of humor with which she supplied Neil. His ready wit, droll anecdotes, and screamingly funny imitations of well known figures about the College, have kept us laughing for four years. Neil, we owe you a vote of thanks for making our college days enjoyable beyond our greatest expectations. To “Doc” Shay we cannot apply the term “typical college man,” for this would be to suppose an ideal college. Rather we shall call him the “perfect college man.’ ' JOHN FRANCIS TYNAN, A.B. Glee Club, 1, 2, 3; Class Treasurer, 4; Dramatics, 4. tOHN has been at Seton Hall so long it is rumored that he helped to lay the cornerstone I the morning he arrived to matriculate. Four years in the College were preceded by tour J in the Prep. At that early date there was also a grammar school connected with beton Hall. There John first started to gain the culture which today marks him as a perfect ex- ample of what higher education is supposed, in the ideal state, to make of a man. John has gained for himself quite an enviable reputation as a prophet. Not that he ever picks a winner, but his favorites are so consistently defeated that many of the wise boys have made considerable monev by always backing those whom John declares will surely lose. When John graduates Setonia will lose one of her really fine sons, for he is one to whom she could always point with pride as to an earnest student, a capable and resourceful scholar and a Christian gentleman. These qualities we feel sure will animate John s entire life and make his every action reflect glory r on his Alma Mater. rfie V 71 JOHN JOSEPH WILSON, JR., A.B.

I N both Prep and College, John has been extremely active in debating and elocution. He is a fine orator and, when he chooses, can be very convincing. But somehow we feel that his real talents have been only lightly sketched in the record he has made at Seton Hall There seems to be a quite general opinion that John has the makings of a brilliant speaker, and it is expected that in the fie ld of law, which he intends to enter after graduation, he will have the opportunity to develop to their fuller extent those oratorical talents which appear to be latent in him. John admits that, in common with most adolescents, he formerly cherished beautiful illusions concerning man s willingness to aid his fellows from purely altruistic motives. Rude experi- ence has dispelled these illusions but John refuses to become pessimistic. We surmise that he still entertains a few unshattered ideals which help him to maintain his cheerful outlook. His companions will remember him as a fiery, quick-tempered, but withal, likeable chap who might rail at the restrictions enforced by Seton Hall but was always the first to offer his services to help put over any school affair. 72 PAUL CYRIL GUTERL “White and Blue” Staff, 3; Business Manage r “White and Blue,” 4. P AUL transferred from Fordham to Seton Hall in the middle of his Fieshman eai. During his three years at Setonia the suave and dapper Paul was a geneial favorite. We found elements of boyishness and manliness admirably joined in his character. Not studious in the sense of one devoted to the task of slavishly mastering a quantity of mattei Paul maintained an excellent record of scholarship and exhibited his possession of a laie talent which enabled him to extract a vital knowledge colored with his own personality from any subject that interested him. His sense of responsibility and his unusual business acumen prompted his fellows to elect him Business Manager of “The W hite and Blue. The efficient manner in which he performed his duties while he held that office did much to assure the financial success of this annual. In the middle of his Senior year Paul left college to join the Society of Jesus. Lacking all sanctimony and capable of serious application and a relieving humor Paul is admirably suited to the pursuit of his sacred vocation and we feel that time will prove that a great religious order has gained another illustrious member. 73 cT Tt s Hot Dogs Me AND MY SHADOW Come on fight, you— !

A great event had occurred but life went on — placid — oblivious. Newspapers were printed. The clamor of the stock market ceased for not an instant. The world buzzed on its way. But a great moment had come — the Class of ’29 had entered Seton Hall. The world was heedless. Even we of ’29 failed to note the promise of that day. Realization came when we first started to hope that possibly we would be able to sign our names as John Doe ’29, and not John Doe ’30 or ’31, or even ex-’29. For those first few years more than decimated our ranks. Out of that little band of seventy-five back in the first September, less than half remain. Of the fellows who used to gather in the quadrangle on Fridays to sing the Alma Mater, three out of every five are gone. But we were all together in Freshman. What a happy, carefree year that was! Strange, isn’t it, what a glamour we cast about that first year? Things were bright and new, then. Every experience was an adventure. We laughed and wondered at every- thing we learned. We joked youthfully about cotangents and aorist infinitives and the Carmen Saeculare. You remember Jack Fish’s gym periods with those tall tales of the good old days and prophetic peeps into the rosy future — that inside baseball’’ strategy with signals from an imaginary bench — those volunteer backfields rehearsing the Notre Dame shift in preparation for the aforesaid rosy future. And you can’t forget Doc Marquier’s Chem lectures, The sulphides (let’s stop, dancing on the chairs, fellows) and the sulphates.” Then you recall that afternoon when the rumor started that someone had at last discovered a trot” for the Latin — how joyful groups hurried down to Newark, only to return glum and disappointed. Over it all hung the shadow of vigilant sophomore justice. Keen eyes observed everything that happened under a freshman cap. Regularly each Friday we were rounded up to sing in the quadrangle and the second-year men blossomed forth as exact- ing musical critics with bizarre tastes in song. Then we won the track championship on field-day and our deflated ego grew again to normal size — perhaps even a trifle larger. We organized a football team and played among others those demon sophs. The score, it seems, was 33 — 0, but of course that was an off day; you know, breaks of the game — nQw if — . But then we had a cross-country team that was undefeated in intercollegiate com- petition. We had a corking basketball team. Our classmates formed the major part of the varsity track team that year. And speaking of track, do you remember how Harry Coates spoke in the gym several times and tried vainly to instil a little of his spirit into us? And we — stupid freshmen — laughed delightedly ancf imitated him for weeks after. How did it go? I don’t care if you have a wooden leg, a cork leg or a wickerwork leg” and You ain’t got the guts of a wouse”; others, unrepeatable. 77 and Griffin’s wonderful coaching from the bench; how we chased the other half of the team all over Morristown in Frank Fischer’s car to collect our share of the guar- antee. What a game! Oh, yes, I think we lost; but what a game! So many things happened that year, these pages would not hold them all. But we remember. In spite of Sophomores, it was good to be a Freshman. SOPHOMORE YEAR And then quite suddenly, we were Sophomores ourselves. Another of those swift, careless years. Class at ten-thirty, and three afternoons free every week (with the ex- ception of the diligent scientific students). We began at once to work out on the Freshmen. Then we took a day off and won the track meet on field-day. Classes were jovial and everybody sneered at Guggenberger. We picked up bits of knowledge about the Diet of Worms and someone named or titled Winterking.” The question still persists, was there a Summerking? Gym classes were not quite the same with never a word about Big Dick” Mc- Donough and Joe Peplowski. But we played basketball and tried to forget. And then, after gym we played basketball. And sometimes in free periods when time hung heavy on our hands, we played basketball. There was an elocution class along about that time when the Orotund Tone was involved somehow with the fable of The Silly Goose Behind the Curtain. There were English classes in which were planted the seeds of a deep scepticism con- cerning the Laws of Gravitation. Perhaps there are some among us even now who be- lieve that somewhere on the earth is a stone which will not fall back when it is thrown at the sky. And, you know, really, it doesn’t seem so very improbable. And there were periods when we learned what to do If a man should meet you on a trolley-car and he should ask you — ” any one of a dozen things. It seemed that if we should fail to know the answer to the hypothetical question of the equally hypo- thetical man on the ditto trolley-car, we would not be able to sleep that night. In fact, we would never rest until we had enlightened ourselves on the subject. It was well for our peace of mind that the emergency never arrived and the ques- tion remained unasked. We never slept more soundly than we did in that sophomore year. Our troubles, it seems, were all ahead of us. Everyone said so, and whispered darkly of Phil Orals and half the class due to be dropped. But we were, literally, sophomores, so we laughed and went on our joyous way to discover Wednesday matinees and the fifty-cent splendor of seats “ ’way down in front.” That happy year slipped almost imperceptibly into the summer vacation. 79 When we came back to Junior year we found that all the advance information had been correct. They hadn’t been merely trying to scare us. It was true. Phil -was tough! We walked around in a daze for some time. That little black book haunted all our waking hours. What a helpless, hopeless feeling! We hardly noticed that we had no afternoons off. Well, come to think of it, we did notice that. Of course, we gradually recovered; at least most of us did. We found that we were expected to recite only three or four times a term, and that helped. Still a feeling of awe, and a vague terror, persisted. Those Phil Orals in the dis- tance kept us all worrying and studying — sometimes both. Eventually we became hardened enough to joke about the stuff and the dignified Scholium: Equipollentia est reductio in propositionum — was recklessly chanted to the tune of Valencia. But the process was long and hard. Then we had other worries. Who would have ever thought that the speed of fall- ing objects was 3 2 feet per second per second! Thirty-two feet per second was believable. But thirty-two feet per second per second l Ah, no, you 11 have to show us. Well, we’ll skip that. We won the field-day meet in our stride; it was getting to be a habit. We studied Socialism and attended our beloved matinees almost simultaneously. The Iron Law of Wages, and two on the aisle! We scribbled feverish notes in Father Zolzer’s pedagogy classes and learned to be careful about striking the sides” in gym. We argued heatedly about the etiquette of the Phil Orals. Was it proper to stride with alacrity into The Presence and ejaculate a cheery Good Morning”? Or should one enter unobtrusively, sit down, and reel off wisdom? As the exams approached, however, we sort of forgot about the niceties, and con- centrated on the wisdom that was to be reeled off. And when the big moment actu- ally arrived, some of us even forgot that wisdom — forgot everything! Well, it s all over now and it’s rather pleasant to think about. Of course, we weren t f lightened very much — and anyway it’s all over. The next outstanding event was Junior Night with buskins and helmets and tents — all the paraphernalia of a Night of the Trojan War. It is quite probable that on March 19, 1928, certain parts of Asia Minoi suffered severe terrestrial disturbances as ancient Ilian heroes turned over in their graves. Is this the race that launched a thousand ships — ?” Spring arrived shortly after that. From the window of our Phil class one could get a beautiful view of the Orange mountains — we were studying Essence and Ex- istence at the time. The hills had been a deep purple all winter, and now they paled to a smoky blue that changed imperceptibly to gray. Then by the time we started to take up Cosmology the gray mist disappeared and we could see the upland fields as they slowly changed from tawny yellow to a timorous spring-like green. When we began the dusty abstractions of the Laws of Nature the campus in front of Bayley Hall was deep with tangled grass in which dandelions were scattered like hiding butterflies. Shortly thereafter we began studying time-tables. But I don’t think any of us really wanted that year to end. It was so pleasant to sit up there by an open window and listen to the lulling hum of bees and philosophers. But the year ended and we departed for vacation — our last vacation. SENIOR YEAR It was really a bit pleasant to come back and be seniors. Of course we won the field-day meet. It was a close score and all that but the best rpen won, as ever. Classes were not easy but we consoled ourselves with the oft-repeated encourage- ment that they can’t flunk a Senior.” That bit of tradition was echoed again and again through the first term, confidently in the beginning and with a bit of self- satisfaction. Later, as exams approached, it was muttered doggedly from behind a Phil book. That first, satisfied feeling of being a Senior gradually wore off. Economics monopolized our matinee-days and the time-honored illlustration of the dollar bill lying down on the front path was replaced by the no less time-honored one of the shipload of lumber in South America. The most generous railroad in the world (the one that passes around the Oranges) provided a diversion. We examined aortic arches morbidly and traced veins and muscles with carefully assumed interest. When it came to dissection, our own cut system was rather crude, too. The year-book early cast its shadow over the classmeetings and the clarion call to get ads and patrons rang in our ears until we actually did go out and get a few. The photographer repeated his annual miracle of turning out a gallery of collar-ads from the usual poor material. And received the inevitable crop of complaints from those who had been insufficiently retouched. Exams came and went, causing no more than a ripple. We were getting old and indifferent. One can get used to Phil Orals in time — about ten years. Fellows began to talk over what they intended to do after graduation; and the con- viction struck home that June was the end despite the jovial optimism of Commence- ment.” Catalogues of Schools of Law and Medicine cluttered up desks and tables everywhere. Jobs were talked of — permanent jobs, not just something to do for three months. Spring came and classes settled into a drowsy round. It was rather terrifying to think that this placid, easygoing life would be all over in a couple of months. Baseball season opened and we baked happily in the bleachers, but not without a disturbing thought of what we would be doing next spring. It was hard to keep our minds off the inevitable denouement. Graduation was just around the corner — the consummation of the whole four years — and it wasn’t so welcome. The exams are just ahead — the last hurdle. Then it will all be over — four years out of our life and there won’t be a whole lot of it to remember. What will we have to show at the end of the next four years! We’ll come back some day — to one of the games, perhaps. In the crowd of faces we may recognize two or three. It will seem strange to feel old and talk of other years, other teams — Remember the time — .” — V o 83 S HE class of ’29 is passing into history. We have packed our diploma in the bag and looked at our picture in the year-book for the last time. With a queer lost feeling in back of our upper left vest pocket we shake hands all around and go home — college graduates. But what of the fellows who didn’t finish — fellows we grubbed butts ! l from and worried over exams with — perhaps we even cribbed from them (or vice versa). They dropped out and we went on. For a dozen reasons they left. Some phrase-maker explained that they just grew up all of a sudden.” But no; suffice it to say they have gone and we remember them. Fine fellows, all Paul Carew, first pilot of our class’s destinies, football man, orator Larry Gilligan, who never moved fast except when playing basketball Nelson, I’m not prepared today, I was at a wake last night” Diney Adamitis, who got 100 in Evidences and walked around in a daze for weeks after he went to Georgetown for track and threatened to quit if he couldn’t play football too Jack Sepple, who whistled his s’s” assiduously and wore carpet-slippers everywhere Jack Walsh, who hailed from Elizabeth and smoked Lucky Strikes ... he called them dopesticks his pal, Devan who moved to Florida ... a fact of which the profs were reminded ad multos annos Joe Clark, who could never seem to find a text-book to bring to class and always had a different reason for not having one Lester Kehoe, Ukelele Ike’s only rival . Tommy Wilkinson ballad singer and treasurer of the lamented Freshman Prom coach of the quartet that danced and sang How Do You Do” with inter- minable and racy verses He’s up at West Point now . . . Al Pinard of the Utah Aggies Ace Murphy, another s-whistler, violinist, basketball star ... he ran the last thirty yards of the cross-country meet with the N. Y. U. Frosh while out on his feet and fainted across the finish-line ... he has his own orchestra up at Holy Cross now Red Jacobs, the demon back of our frosh eleven, Ace’s sidekick Strack, Don Juan of Georgian Court, It was at a week-end party” ... he finally gave law-school the break Lou Tonero, who ate tremendous lunches and drove a 1916 Oldsmobile Flannery, the Canuck cross-country man Harry Murphy, the Old Owl and his Buick Frank Sauer, Prep ’23 . sauve and dignified his pal Chick Whipple, good old Chick Joe Reilly, tall and red-haired and humorous. One short year we knew them. Too bad it wasn’t longer. Fine fellows, all of them ! Sophomore year, and still they drifted away. Jim Duffy was the first to go. His was a real loss to the class. Jim was every- thing a gentleman should be. 84 Next, Gus Murray quit, gradually. He came to class, you remember, for three days in September, two in October, and one in November. Then he showed up un- expectedly in January and tried to sell somebody a Durant. He had paid five dollars for it, he swore. Take it easy, Gus, may you always have a full pack of cigarettes. Harry Walsh left after that, and there was a big hole at shortstop on the varsity nine. Harry was one of the tiny band of bachelors-of-science-to-be. Ask them what a fine fellow he was. Jim Ryan came and went with Sophomore year. You remember his deep voice and battered Ford. How he knew that Plato (he’d had it before) ! He’s at Mt. St. Mary’s now, you know. The opening of Junior year showed other regrettable gaps in our ranks. Frank Fischer had gone. His quiet smile was a land-mark. And that inimitable duo, Dan’n Charlie, had departed. There will never be another pair like that. One can’t think of the campus without picturing them in characteristic poses somewhere. Charlie would be slumped behind the wheel of that Dodge, busily engaged in tearing a piece of paper into tiny shreds and giving Italian-dialect explanations of most anything; while Dan Woodhouse would be leaning in a window and happily razzing anything that happened to attract his attention. Can you forget that day in history class when Dan recited for forty-five minutes on the early life of Mohammed and said nothing that couldn’t be applied to Napoleon or Abraham Lincoln or Jack Dempsey. Do you remember Charlie’s books, studiously inscribed with scores of Charles Durkin” signatures? What a treasure they would be for an autograph collector! There are so many things to recall about that pair — Charlie’s interminable rip- ping of paper — Dan declaiming Lucky Day while he banged time with a book on his desk — Charlie’s interminable tearing of paper — Dan attributing to himself the strength of a lion and the speed of a greyhound” while Charlie muttered pungent allegations which had to do with an elephant and interminably ripped paper to shreds. Dan went to Georgetown, but threw them over after a few weeks and returned to the dizzy social whirl of suburban New Jersey. Charlie now keeps his finger on the pulse of the nation from the vantage point of a stock-broker’s office. And so we started Junior year with more friends on the absent list. Still they slipped away. Joe Kuczenski left at mid-year. Joe was another one of the old guard, seven years a Setonian. He had starred as the captain of our Freshman five, and made Frank Hill’s varsity in the following year. His broad-jumping had contributed to 29’s three- year tenure as interclass track champions. He’s selling automobiles now. Success, Joe! Junior year passed, and when we came back to the dignity of Seniors we found Jerome Green absent, Jerry whose quiet smile had adorned Old Setonia for seven years. He will come back, probably, so we leave to some other book the pleasant task of sounding his praises. That’s the list of them. Some of the finest fellows we ever knew. They were classmates of ours for months, and we may never meet them again. Who was that fellow back in Freshman who used to say, on any and all occasions, More power to them?” 85 EX ’29 ROSTER Joseph E. Adamaitis Raymond E. Miller Conrad H. Blank Harry A.

This is indeed a consummation to be wished, a triumph garlanding the brows of the select who have successfully completed half the allotted course. It was, however, with a rather quavering dignity that we entered upon the year that made us men and philosophers. But this sensa- tion soon wore off and a feeling of capability replaced it as our grappling with philosophy and science began to show our powers. What, after all, would those embryonic powers have availed us without the kindly eduction of our Reverend Professors. None of us will ever forget the painstaking efforts of Father Walsh to clarify the in tricacies of philosophy. What man would envy him his task as he stood before us that first day and sought to bring into our minds some conception of the science that has claimed for itself the astutest minds of all time. That hour, and its successors, made Father Walsh one of our most admired teachers and there was no prouder class in Seton Hall than ours on that day at the end of the first term when he commended us and thanked us for our cooperation. Undoubtedly, the Shepherd knows his flock and its needs and so it was that Father Zolzer was taken from Seton Hall just before the mid-year examinations. In saying that we regretted his departure we really give expression to the thought of every under- graduate of Seton Hall. We take this opportunity, however, to thank him for his efforts in our behalf and we wish him in his new duties the complete success that he so richly deserves. His successor, Father Buchmann, aided us very efficiently to com- plete our course in Education. To him we are indebted for much excellent and invalu- able advice. From Father Maine we received a thorough understanding of the principles of modern physics. Under his tutelage that subject became one of the most enjoyable of our whole college course. Among our professors Doctor Dauenhauer and Father Duffy will long remain in memory; the latter for the concern he evinced in our command of English and the former for the many enjoyable Wednesday afternoons we spent with him in the ab- sorbing study of Political Economy. The undiminishing efforts of Professor Brooks to make us capable public speakers are worthy of highest praise. With such an array of professorial talent the reason for any degree of success we may have attained is quite evident. Thus it is with heartfelt gratitude that we thank our professors and pray for their continued health and strength for without such men Seton Hall would not be Seton Hall. The friendships formed, the accomplishments achieved, the varied extracurricular activities of a class at Seton Hall cannot be related here. Let it suffice to say that we were not laggard in preparing ourselves for the responsibility that was soon to be ours as Seniors. On the athletic fields, both court and diamond, our representatives form the nucleus of coming stellar teams. In all the College organizations our members show an ability that presages well for our Senior success. While we speak so confidently of our abilities, there is, down in our hearts, a wonder if we are really fit and worthy to receive the legacy that the Class of 1929 bestows upon us. That their successes in these beloved halls follow them beyond the gates of our Alma Mater is our earnest wish. That we, their successors, may worthily fill their place is our strongest hope as we say, Farewell ’29! N the evening of Friday, March 22, 1929, the class of 1930 took its tradi- tional part in perpetuating the venerable custom of Junior Night. The presentation of each succeeding class is annually hailed as the best and in every way the finest ever produced. It would be fatuous to repeat this customary tribute were it not for the fact that members of the Senior Class were heard to express the opinion that the entertainment actually surpassed their own presentation. Such an encomium leaves no doubt that the entertainment was, unreservedly, the ultimate in Junior Nights. This achievement of producing a program that eclipses all predecessors is, of course, quite in accordance with 193 0’s motto of Vestigia Nulla Retrorsum,” No backward steps.” The guest of honor for the evening was the Right Reverend Thomas J. Walsh, D. D., Bishop of Newark. His presence was indeed a source of great pleasure not only to the Junior Class, but to the entire student body. A feature of the program was the appearance of Glauco D’Attili, an Italian child-pianist, whose splendid rendition of the masters did much to enhance the evening’s entertainment. The outstanding event of the program was the staging of a one-act play The King’s Men,” written by John J. Dougherty, a member of the class. Mr. Dougherty has been a participant in dramatic activities throughout his college course, but this was his first venture into the field of authorship. The evening was opened with the singing of the Alma Mater song by the entire class. This was followed by the traditional Address of Welcome, delivered by the President of the class, Bernard M. Sweeney. The Junior Class double quartet next rendered a selection of the Largo movement from the New World Symphony of Dvorak. Following this, Master D’Attili gave the first part of his recital. It was composed of a number of selections taken from the classical authors and included a suite from Longo made up of an aria and toccata; an adagio and rondo from Beethoven, thirteenth opus; and two dances, a gavotta from Sgambati and a minuet of Paderewski. An oration on The Catholic Church end Literature” was given by John J. Feeley. The delivery of Mr. Feeley was most impressive. John G. Imhoff offered a violin solo from Accolay that was most effective. He was accompanied on the piano by H. W. Senerchia. The second part of the program was opened by another series of selections by Master D’Attili. It comprised a toccata of Scarlatta, an extract from Schubert, the Thirteenth Inventio of Bach, and a valse, a notturno and a polonaise from Chopin. 93 Mr. Dougherty’s play was then presented. It depicted an incident of the Re- formation in England when clerics were being hunted down by order of the king. The plot was gripping and well-developed. The delineation of character was excellent and the movement of the play was smooth and sustained interest throughout the entire presentation. Michael F. Reilly, as Nickolas, played the leading role and took full advantage of the dramatic and pathetic possibilities of the part. His performance was excellent. Edward J. Scura, as Friar Francesco, acquitted himself admirably; and John J. Dougherty, the author, gave a competent interpretation of the role of Captain Bruland. Others taking part in the production were J. J. Coyle, T. M. Reardon, G. A. Rumrill and Peter S. Rush. A selection by the double quartet, Pale Moon,” completed the program. The double quartet was composed of John Dougherty, John Imhoff, Anthony Kurzynowski, James Looney, Thomas Reardon, Michael Reilly, George Rumrill, and Joseph Stockhammer. The evening was enjoyed by a large crowd of students and friends of Seton Hall. The class of 193 0 wishes to thank all those who assisted in the production of Junior Night, and all who by their attendance helped to make the occasion successful and gratifying to the participants. 94 SOPHOMORES SOPHOMORE CLASS ROSTER Ahr, Wilbur Gleason, William Baldwin, John Heimbold, Arthur Bauderman, Gerard Hoffman, Charles Beltrani, Louis Hughes, Gerald Bennett, James Jaremczuk, Joseph Besson, Franklin Jialdini, Joseph Bilitsky, Walter Jordan, Francis Boland, Francis Kaiser, Martin Bradley, Joseph Karolewski, Bernard Brady, Martin Keane, William Burke, Adrian Kearney, John Byrne, George Kerns, Patrick Callaghan, Lawrence Kervick, James Casserly, Charles Kielty, Edmund Corridon, John Konzelman, Louis Costello, John Kramer, Joseph Cronin, Timothy Lamb, Robert Cunningham, Thomas Liddy, Thomas Davis, Eugene Luby, Joseph Dobson, Philip Lynch, William Donovan, Vincent MacGowan, Walter Dougherty, Thomas Madjeski, Edward Doyle, James Maher, Joseph D.

Nearly all the class of ’3 1 returned to Seton Hall as Sophomores with the resolutions vaguely formed and reunion covered the span of one brief, joyous day. The few newcomers that entered our midst were strangers for only a short while. Under the spur of insistent classes the vague resolutions mentioned above took the more solid form of a determination that nothing would prevent us from becoming Juniors. Thus it is that in retrospect we exclaim with pardonable satisfaction, Well done! As is the custom in all newly-formed organizations we convened to elect class of- ficers. James O’Connell, our Freshman Vice-President, called the meeting in the ab- sence of our Freshman President, Bernard McCafferty. After the ballots were cast and counted it was found that Joseph Bradley was elected President; James O’Connell for the second successive year received the Vice-Presidency; Denis Whelan, also for the second time, attained the position of Treasurer; and Frank Jordan was chosen Secretary. Then came the Annual Retreat. For one solid week we listened to the spiritual counsels of the Jesuit Fathers. Simultaneously we were planning the rout of the Fresh- men in that annual event of blood and battle, the Sophomore-Freshman Class Rush. Our hopes were blasted and our plans so cunningly formed were rendered useless when we were informed by the authorities that a new policy of kindness to Freshmen” was to be inaugurated. Thus faded our hope for sweet revenge, the thought of which had sustained us through a bitter ordeal in the previous year. After the retreat we settled down to work. We found to our complete satisfaction that Father Zolzer who had taught us history as Freshmen would again guide our stumbling feet down the centuries. Father Sheerin introduced us to the delightful Euripides in the Iphigenia.” Under the kindly direction of Father Walsh we found in Tacitus’ Agricola” and the Duo Captivi” of Plautus a Latin style that, the gods be praised!, was simple and in some cases even understandable. Father McNulty taught us a deeper appreciation of our faith and, on the side, prepared us for a trip to Paris. Professor Joyce taught us English and when Father Zolzer left the Professorship of History at mid-year Mr. Joyce ably substituted. Professor Brooks attempted to dis- cover a number of Websters and O’Connells among us and to him we owe any proficiency in public speaking we may have attained- Mr. Scavone, our physical instructor, strug- gled manfully to overcome our mulish unwillingness to live intensively for the space of one hour every Saturday morning the axiom concerning a sound mind in a sound body. To all our teachers our best wishes and our hearty thanks. Sophomore life at Seton Hall was not all study. The pursuit of athletics was, no doubt, our chief avocation. And when not engaged in athletics or forced by circum- stances to study we might be found indulging in the ever popular game of bridge. Looking back over a very busy Sophomore year we may truthfully say that we con- tributed our full share to the many activities of Seton Hall during 1928-1929. The class of ’31 bids the class of ’29 good-by. Another step in the progress of Seton Hall has been made and as ’31 awaits its turn to mark yet another step in that progress its members wish the outgoing Sons of Setonia every happiness. 99 •AND SHE SAID- Sprig HAS CUB. „ K A I T M Bugs ' 1929 W 100 FRESHMEN 101 Adams, W.

And memory, a hazy palimpsest doublewrit with study and extra- curricular activity, would fail in any chronicle of the year’s events. Still, the confused document yields a few distinct items of interest to the imperious eye of The White and Blue.” Just how happy the past year has been will become clearer as others follow. Chief among our recollections will be that first day. Even the old grads” of the prep were one with the new men in a feeling of strangeness. There was rain, rain — enough water to float the bark of our new career. The beauties of the chapel were lost to the newcomer in the too-dim religious light. It did not matter for all were intent in absorbing t he inspiring words of the Rector. For the rest of that absorbing day we sponged up rules, routine and more rain. New friends and acquaintances having been made (sophomores and even a junior or two among them) and exams being too far removed for Livy and Plato to cause any qualms — that freshman feeling gave way to complacency which the sophs, under- taking to lick the cub into shape, soon jolted. They supervised our election of Frank Mulquin as President, Vin Liddy his understudy to which office Bill Kearney later succeeded, Edgar Verhoest, Secretary, and Kyran Egan, Treasurer. Then came the an os non excedamus. White sox may still grace the ankles of a boarder, but the corn-cob pipes have long since burnt out, and the green caps — St. Patrick’s Day resurrected not a single one! October brought the annual retreat. More closely joined to God at its end, our burdens lighter, hearts freer, we were tasting of the more abundant life.” With strict application to our classics, the microscopes, and tables of logarithms, interspersed with vacations and sports, 1928 ebbed away untroubled to the last. Came a trying period, however, while its lusty successor was still very young. But the exams in themselves were low hurdles which we cleared with average form; it was their shadows that appalled. But a real grief we did experience in the transfer of Father Zolzer, popular guide of our studies of the Christian Era. Certain harbingers of spring appeared ... poems for English themes the pool-dark mountains under the white-ribbed sky . you’ve had the feeling. Then the last portent appeared; the class picture was taken for the year-book. Posing for it displaced a physical culture period in name only. Happily, no such acro- batics were ever required in the gym. We would like to point with pride to the class luminaries, even as our predecessors have done. And why not? Have not our classics unceasingly hurled the polyglot as- sertion that human nature never changes?” That was the litany of the Latin class! But the short space that remains allows only the merest mention of our Varsity men, basketeers who always gave as good as received, the ball club of equal merit, gleemen, debaters, Thespians, trackmen. On the whole this is a versatile, well-balanced class — one that modestly means to fill the gap left by the departing class of ’29, and some years hence to leave as large a one behind. The Seniors have left us a list of achievements not so easy to surpass. In the short time given us to know them, we have acquired a deep respect for them and a belief that as they go out into the world the honor of Seton Hall will be as their own honor. As we have already acquired something of a contempt for material goods as a prime end in life, so much the more have the Seniors. The Freshmen, then, wish them not the best that the world can give, but the realization of their ideals and a real contentment. 105 Who ' da Short Cheer Aiah thunk it.

It is presented every spring under the combined auspices of the Athletic Associa- tion and the College Dramatic Society and the proceeds are devoted to the outfitting and maintenance of the various athletic teams. But the show,” as it is colloquially referred to, rises far above this merely utilitarian purpose. It provides the big moment and the high-water mark of the college social season. From the dress-suited ushers down to the smallest prep youngster — every Setonian adorns the occasion with his presence. For one dazzling evening, all cares are forgotten; and only the stage manager worries. The production is presented on two successive evenings. In years past, the itinerary has varied but for the last few seasons it has been customary to confine the troupeing to Jersey City and Newark. The piay is presented at St. Patrick’s Theatre in the former city, and at Proctor’s Lyceum in the latter. This year’s production was Three Live Ghosts,” a comedy in three acts by Frederick Isham, and will be remembered as a Broadway success of several seasons ago. William J. McKenna was the dramatic coach, and much of the excellence of the performance was due to his splendid direction. The plot of the piece concerns a trio of British ex-soldiers who return from captivity in a German prison-camp to find that they are officially dead” and, in fact, are three live ghosts.” One of their number is suffering from shell-shock and is the victim of kleptomania. His naive attempts to acquire possession of any and all portable objects which he can discover and the unflagging efforts of his comrades to frustrate this mania, provide the main source of the humorous relief. The trio’s unfortunate position is complicated by the fact that another of their number is sought by the police who offer a reward of a thousand pounds for his capture. The third member of the party is handicapped by the fact that his step- mother has already collected a large portion of his life insurance, and is anxious that he stay dead” until the remainder has been paid. This tangled situation was capably unravelled by a cast of students chosen from all four classes. John J. Wilson, Jr., ’29, as Mrs. Gubbins, handled a difficult role with ease and assurance. The three extremely-alive ghosts were impersonated by Edward Neary, ’32, Charles B. Murphy, ’29, and Louis E. Greco, ’29. Mr. Greco, as Spoofy,” the shell- shocked kleptomaniac, gave a restrained and competent performance in a part that might have been spoiled by a less skilled actor. Outstanding among the other players were James O’Connell, ’31, as Briggs of Scotland Yard, Peter D. Rush, ’30 as an American detective, Raymond Doll, ’32 as Tommy Woofers, and John K. Tynan, ’29 as Bob Gordon. Other members of the cast were John Mullen, ’29, John Griffin, ’29, Frederick Esser, ’29 and J. J. Doyle, ’31. The orchestra provided music between the acts. It consisted of John Feeney, Adrian Burke, John Imhoff, George Walker, Joseph Jaremczuk, Henry Seeler and Henry Short. 109 HE College Glee Club was founded in 1926, and since that time has taken an active part in the fostering of local musical talent. From its institution it has been under the capable direction of the Rev. A. A. Maine, a member of the faculty of Seton Hall, and largely through his efforts has improved steadily year by year. The organization has figured in almost all the social activities that flourish at Seton Hall — the Athletic Association show, the Christmas entertainment, Junior Night, smokers and musicals. And during the past year it made its appearance in an extramural presentation. The first outstanding appearance of the Glee Club during the past season was made upon the occasion of the Christmas entertainment. The program consisted of several Christmas hymns rendered by the ensemble and by the quartet of the club in turn. Junior Night gave the organization its second opportunity for a public appearance, when a double quartet composed of members of the Class of 1930 sang a group of semiclassical and popular numbers. Their performance was well received. The extramural presentation mentioned above was a sacred concert presented at St. Teresa’s Church in Summit, New Jersey, on the evening of March 24th. The pro- gram included the Brewer and Nevin’s musical presentation of Sidney Lanier’s ever- popular poem The Ballad of the Trees and the Master”; Fiorentini’s score to the Psalm of David,” and other selections of the same type as the two mentioned. This outside appearance of the Glee Club was greeted with such enthusiasm that others will be more frequent in the future. Their success is assured by this auspicious beginning. The place of the Glee Club in the life of the college cannot be filled by any other agency and its popularity is constantly on the increase. As a cultural factor and an educative device it cannot be too highly praised, while as a form of recreation it ap- peals to all students, regardless of whether or not they actually participate in its productions. The organization is very fortunate in having a director who possesses the talent of Father Maine, and his personal interest in the members is a constant source of en- couragement. It was by his efforts that the club was formed, and the present suc- cess of its presentations is due to the continuation of those efforts. The group draws its members from every class in the college and thus has always a number of experienced men, regardless of the number who may graduate. If the society continues to progress in numbers and proficiency at the same rate it has ad- vanced, it will soon rank in size and ability with similar organizations of the best colleges in the country.

An indication of the interest aroused by this form of extra-curricular ac- tivity during the present year may be found in the fact that the Society boasts an enrollment enjoyed by no ether organization of the College with the possible exception of the Glee Club. The first meeting of the Society this year was called by the Moderator, Father James F. Kelley, a member of the faculty. At this initial meeting the usual preliminary business was transacted and elections were held. The balloting resulted in the choice of Alfred Moran, ’31, for President; Edward Cahill, 30, for Vice-President; and James Carey, ’30, for Secretary. Before many meetings were held it was evident that several circumstances would necessitate a departure from the usual form of the Society. With members of all classes in the College enrolled in the club it was found impossible because of con- flicting schedules to arrange a time for the weekly meeting which would permit the attendance of all who desired to be present. Another consideration which prompted a change was the fact that in a debating club meeting only weekly and having over fifty members each member would have the opportunity to debate once or twice at the most. The result would be that one of the aims of the Society, which is the perfecting of the ability of all the members to speak convincingly before an audience would be, in some measure, defeated. Father Kelley advanced a happy solution of the difficulties. He proposed that the Society be separated into two divisions. This plan received the unanimous approval of all the members. The officers elected at the first meeting resigned in order to facilitate the reorganization. According to the new plan the Upperclass Division and the Lowerclass Division were formed. Each division under the moderation of Father Kelley functions in- dependently. Seniors and Juniors are eligible for membership in the Upperclass Division and Sophomores and Freshmen form the Lowerclass Division. The two divisions op- erate according to a constitution drawn up by a joint committee composed of three members of each division and ratified by the vote of all of the members of the Society. At the first meeting of the Upperclass Division officers were elected. John W. Feeney, ’29, was elected President; John Wilson, 29, secured the office of Vice-Presi- dent; and John Dougherty, ’29, was chosen Secretary. Regular meetings were held on each Tuesday afternoon for the remainder of the year. The Lowerclass Division elected Alfred Moran, ’31, to the Presidency; and James O’Connell, ’31, to the Vice-Presidency. The regular weekly meeting of this division was held every Friday afternoon. 113 DEBATING SOCIETY LOWERCLASS DIVISION Rev. James F.

Among the questions discussed were such current topics as the respective merits of sectarian and non-sectarian education, the Baumes Law, con- trol of water power, and numerous others. For the last few years the members of the Society at Seton Hall, proceeding on the principle that the major aim of such a club is to give the greatest possible number of students an opportunity to debate, have preferred numerous interclass debates to a relatively few intercollegiate debates. The debating activities at some colleges take an opposite course. Often the motive of the club is to place in the field of inter- collegiate debating a representative team of the highest calibre that the material permits. Such procedure has many advantages. The general public is given the opportunity to see directly the benefits of collegiate education. Affiliations of the various colleges are promoted and friendliness and understanding are strengthened. And, of course, a few members of the student body of a college having such a team gain great proficiency in debate. Realizing this situation the Society this year has followed a procedure which utilizes the best features of both interclass and intercollegiate debating. During the fall and winter months the members of each division carried on debates among them- selves exclusively. In this way all members, even the totally inexperienced, were given a chance to discover and develop any latent ability. In the early spring several of the more proficient members of each division were chosen to carry on a number of interdivision debates. These were attended by all the members of the Society and provided some very spirited sessions. With the intention of promoting the extramural phase of debating the Presi- dent of the Upperclass Division, John W. Feeney, is at present, as this publication goes to press, negotiating with Fordham University, Manhattan College, and St. John’s College in order to arrange a few intercollegiate debates for the latter part of the present scholastic year. Basing our opinion on the quality of the intramural debates of the last few months we predict that the representatives of Seton Hall will prove worthy opponents for the members of any college debating team. Looking back over a year of commendable activity we may say that the Society has been so successful that the plan of division will be maintained in future years. There is no reason whatever that should prevent the progress made this year from serving as the foundation for a debating team that will rank with the best in col- legiate circles. All the members of the Society may view with justifiable pride the efforts which, assisted by the energetic moderatio n of Father Kelley, have produced that progress in debating at Seton Hall. 115 BIOLOGY CLUB Rev. Charles E. Lillis, A. M., Moderator Neil Shay, President Charles Sauer, Vice-President Paul Mahoney, Secretary Louis Greco, Treasurer James Donnelly Thomas Flanagan Richard Keegan John MacDonald Dante Monaco John Mullen Charles Murphy Martin Rooney OST people receive the term biology” with a shudder and immediately con- jure up a laboratory of lifeless animals stretched out on dissecting boards. They picture rather queer and perhaps bored students making painless in- cisions with dull scalpels. In short, the name biology in itself fails to bring forth ideas in terms of purple sunsets or sparkling blue waters. The subject is considered merely en passant and consequently the romance and beauty of its wonders are lost to the unfortunate average person. Biology aside from being a very practical subject — for what is more practical than the study of life itself — has a background embodying real adventure and drama. In the field of bacteriology alone there is enough blood and thunder action to satisfy the most enterprising investigator. The lives, the searchings, the findings of the great biological explorers from Anthony Leeuwenhoek, who peeped for the first time through a carefully-constructed microscope into the sub-visible world of micro-or- ganisms, down to the obscure searchers of today, present a field of investigation that has no limits in thrills and lively interest. To introduce the student to those phases of biology not found in texts the Biology Club, under the direction of Father Charles E. Lillis, a member of the faculty, has been founded at Seton Hall. In the course of two years it has flourished and aroused such an interest in the College that it may now be considered as one of the most popular forms of extracurricular activity. The organization is officially represented by Neil Shay, President; Charles Sauer, Vice-President; Paul Mahoney, Secretary; and Louis Greco, Treasurer. Membership in the Club is extended to all classes and members from every class have been quick to grasp the privilege and join the organization. Last year an important step was taken toward effecting an intercollegiate biological society to stimulate interest in the science in Catholic colleges. Seton Hall was prompt in joining the movement. Rev. Joseph Assmuth, Professor of Biology in Fordham University, occasioned the bringing into being of the Associated Biology Clubs of Catholic Colleges.” Father Assmuth is one of the greatest living authorities in the science and under his skillful management the society has matured rapidly. Father Lillis, head of the department of biology at Seton Hall, is a member of the executive board of the national organization. Every spring the society completes a year of scholastic activity with an Annual Convention. During the Easter Recess of this year the Convention was held at Holy Cross College. Representatives from all the Catholic seats of learning in the East at- tended and out of the West came delegates from Notre Dame, Marquette, and the University of Detroit. Seton Hall sent Neil Shay, John MacDonald, Paul Mahoney, Frank Guidera, Robert Ryan, and Ernest Bugg to the Convention. The program was composed of papers dealing with the lives and findings of Catholic biologists. Neil Shay, officially representing the Club, read a paper on Louis Pasteur and his Relation to Bacteriology.” Although the Club has been established at Seton Hall for only two years its progress has been remarkable. The interest displayed in its activities and its ever in- creasing membership will undoubtedly retain for it a position as one of the foremost clubs of its kind in college circles. 117 WHITE ntf BLUE- 1 THE VARSITY SHOP James Carey William Gleason Thomas McHugh Raymond O’Neill Leo Schnell Neil Shay Sl 118 THE VARSITY SHOP LL roads lead to Rome” and when the distance between the walls of the stom- ach assumes microscopic dimensions — usually in the midst of the ten o’clock class or after night prayers — the student body as one man dashes for the Varsity Shop. All the students heed this tendency to join in the rush for the one true publicity agent, Mother Nature, has a manner of advertising the Shop that is superior to the great Broadway itself. Like a London bookstall the Varsity Shop makes up for its lack of space with a great variety of wares. One finds nearly everything there from confections to real tasty sandwiches.” Above all one visits the Shop to absorb some of that Virginian sunshine that gleams in the smile of the manager, Ray O’Neill — when things are selling well. Recollection of the storming of the Bastille gives one a fair idea of the Cheap Store at its high noon — with less blood please and more action. Instead of revolution- mad peasants with pitchforks, axes, and divers other tools in their hands we have anxious collegians armed with legitimate coinage of the realm and crying out in im- patient demand that they be served. In the background but ever foremost stands the Virginian, tall, dark and handsome. Cool and determined he directs the repulse from the business side of the counter. Never forgetting the psychological moment, when the demand for chocolate bars is overwhelming he rushes into service that carton which has been on the shelf ever since the great race of 1896 when the blue tipped oars flashed to victory over Cornell, Harvard, Yale, and Cooper Union. History has it that due to the unexpected victory of ’96, for you will remember that four men were unseated on the eve of the race for playing chess after lights and the coxswain came down with measles, the Varsity Shop stacked up to the ceiling with chocolate bars unwisely for a double holiday was declared and everybody went home. (If you can follow that you’re clever). The storming of our Bastille takes place daily but it has yet to fall. Each year it turns in a profitable report and strengthens the good cause of Athletics. The man- ager and his cohorts deserve the greatest praise for keeping the shop advancing along the road to bigger and better profits. This year the store has made a decided leap forward and no trouble has been spared in an effort to please the student body. 119 THE ORCHESTRA S the scholastic year of 1928 and 1929 passes into history the College or- chestra may well view with pride the many successful appearances which has made this, the sixth year of activity, a creditable one. Under the able direction of the venerable and highly-gifted Mr. Schreiner, instructor of music in both the College and the Prep, the work of the or- chestra, which, in common with all other scholastic activities, had ceased for the summer vacation, was renewed vigorously in September. For the first few weeks inquisitive classmates had to be content with listening to the strains of melody that reached their ears from the musicians’ practice sessions which took place every Tuesday afternoon. The first public appearance of the orchestra occurred in conjunction with the College Christmas Entertainment given just previous to the Yuletide holidays. The several very pleasing selections which were rendered on that occasion were greatly appreciated. Later in the winter the orchestra assisted at the celebration of the Feast of St. Joseph, the traditional occasion for the Junior Night Entertainment. Again the ef- forts of the musicians were applauded with complete approval. Following in close succession, the festivities which marked the Alumni Banquet, the Alumni Communion Breakfast, the Annual Show, the Oratorical Contest, and Class Day were enlivened by appropriate numbers played with remarkable skill by the mem- bers of the orchestra. Not only were the usual classical selections played with a satisfy- ing proficiency but also a specially selected group whose talents were of a more synco- pated nature offered many of the popular dance tunes of the day. Fronv this outline of the activities of the orchestra it is at once evident that, in spite of a comparatively small student body from which to draw material, Seton Hall has its share of musically gifted undergraduates. During the past year these students gave unstintingly of their time and energy to create a symphonic society which should be a credit to the skill of Mr. Schreiner and should reflect considerable glory upon the College. The results have more than justified the efforts expended to procure them. Our present-day American colleges have frequently been accused of placing undue stress upon the practical side of education to the unwarranted exclusion of the aesthetic. Since music is perhaps the quintessence of aestheticism this criticism certainly does not apply to Seton Hall. After so worthy a record of six years of successful musical endeavor it is almost a foregone conclusion that the future will bring even greater achievements to the or- chestras that will represent Seton Hall in the years to come. But we venture to say that none will be more deserving of the hearty congratulations which we, the Class of 1929, wish to extend to the present College orchestra in sincere appreciation of the efforts which they have so cheerfully expended to brighten every social function which the College has sponsored.

From its inception the publication has carried out its twofold purpose successfully. Each Senior Class has thrown into the task considerable effort and the results have been uniformly gratifying. In September the Class of ’29 began their addition to the series. Every Senior resolved to interest himself in the project and as the months slipped by results began to appear, slowly at first, and later, when necessity exerted its inexorable pressure, more quickly. Naturally, contributions of the members of the Class to the pub- lication have been varied. Some, possessed of literary or business abilities, have served on the editorial or business staffs. All in varying degrees have expended time and energy to procure advertisements, patrons, and subscriptions. We started this project with a well-formed ideal of what a year-book should be and within the limits of our finances we have striven to realize that ideal. We have, humanly, fallen short of our goal — how far only we can know. The work must now stand or fall on any evident merit it may possess. • As we consider the final result of all our work and planning one fact strikes us very forcibly. How little all that work and planning show in the final result. How little the finished volume manifests the vexatious details, the petty disappointments, the anxiety about finances and the efforts to allay that anxiety, the entire mass of in- numerable little things that formed the burden of our task and are lost in the com- pact result. But, after all, this was merely the business that a project of this kind entails and we feel sure that the experience gained will later prove invaluable. Our only regret is that we are not now beginning to produce our book with the foundation of the experience that we have acquired; our only hope that our annual does not show too patently the work of our unskillful hands. One of our purposes, to recount the events of the year at Seton Hall, we feel that we have accomplished satisfactorily. To accomplish our more personal purpose, the portrayal of our four years at college, we have found cold type inadequate. Not in matter-of-fact account are those little pleasures, those few and easily dismissed troubles, the firm friendships, and the hearty fellowship of a congenial college group recounted. In more lasting and more faithful records, in the memory of every member of the Class of ’29 will those little things, in themselves mere nothings, in the aggregate the four happiest years of our lives, be kept alive. If these pages serve only to assist the record of memory our efforts will be amply rewarded. 123 THE SETONIAN Rev. John J. Sheerin, A.

Besides providing a medium of expression for aspiring writers, it records scholastic, social, and athletic activities both in and outside the college and serves as a binding tie between the Alumni and their Alma Mater. The paper was established in 1924, coming into being with The White and Blue as the natural outcome of scholastic progress, and rounded out the fifth year of its existence last March. During this time it has grown steadily, not only in respect to size and scope but also in the quality of its content and in the manner of its presenta- ation. The succession of editors who have guided its destinies must receive a fair portion of credit for this prosperous evolution. Rev. John J. O’Brien, who laid the lasting foundation, Henry J. Mott, who perpetuated an ideal, and Francis Porter, Leo Martin, Fred M. Edwards, and Paul Raftery have all played notable parts in the moulding of the publication to its present form. But the work of developing the Setonian fell not alone upon editorial shoulders. The contributors who evinced the faith and interest that served as an incentive to further progress, the staffs to whom fell the task of direction and preparation, and the business managers by whose efforts the paper was made self supporting, share equally in the fruits of its success. Lastly, the students and alumni, whose representative the Setonian is, must be remembered for their loyal support. Without any one of these the end must inevitably have failed of achievement. Their united endeavors brought success. From a consideration of the past it is not difficult to predict what future years hold in store for the paper. One may readily visualize it as a bi-monthly publication or even a weekly, for with a continuance of effort and support both are within the bounds of easy possibility. But one thing is certain. Progressing steadily, as there is every reason to believe it will, the Setonian should speedily take its place with the representative college publications of the day. During the scholastic year 1928-29 the paper was directed by Paul Raftery, Editor- in-Chief, and Neil Edward Shay, Business Manager. Editorial associates included Charles B. Murphy, John W. Feeney and Gerald B. Raftery, of the class of ’29, and John J. Dougherty of the class of ’30. The staff comprised Addison B. Clohosey, ’29, sports; Thomas J. Molloy, ’30, literary; Neil Shay, ’29, and Don Lynch, Prep., ’31, art; James Kervick, ’31, news; and William J. Shea, ’32, notes. Bernard M. Sweeney of the class of ’3 0 acted as Assistant Business Manager. 125 I i Money bags No pull?

This is perfectly natural since Coach Hill is the dean of our coaching staff and thoroughly a veteran at his game. In the fourteen years that he has spent on the court at South Orange, basketball has been a winning sport. Year after year it has been taken pretty much for granted that he would turn out a smart and well-drilled team no matter what sort of material was placed in his hands. During the past five years only one season has seen the varsity go down in defeat as many as six times. And during that five-year period the material for the team was not always seasoned and experienced. Almost all the men who have composed Coach Hill’s teams have been developed by him, and have been carefully and expertly drilled until they reached a position where they would be stars on any college team in the country. It would be superfluous, to enumerate the men whom Hill has developed. Every follower of the great indoor game can name a dozen, offhand. And further, his teams have the happy faculty of rising above the handicaps of injuries and unlucky set-backs. The past season is an example. A great team, thor- oughly a Hill product, was crippled by sickness in mid-season. And yet, it came back to turn what threatened to be a bad year into one that may be classed as splendid. While Coach Hill remains at Seton Hall we may feel certain that every season he will produce a basketball machine that can match wits and brawn with the best in its class. And as Frank Hill is to the court, so is Milt Feller to the diamond. Milt is no veteran, in fact he seems almost one of us, but his grasp of the great American game more than makes up for his lack of years. Since the spring of 1921, when Milt donned a Setonian uniform for the first time, his baseball ability and his famous smile have been well-known on the campus. His college athletic career, culminating in the captaincy of the great team of 192 5, is history at Seton Hall. In his one year of coaching he has demonstrated that he has the happy faculty of communicating his skill and spirit to others. This season should be an outstanding one for Milt Feller and Seton Hall. The roll of varsity coaches at Seton Hall also includes two student mentors. Ad- dison Clohosey and Tom O’Connor, both members of the Senior Class, are the instruc- tors in track and soccer, respectively. Considering the material at his command, Coach Clohosey has completed a good season. The capture of the State Crosscountry crown and the commendable showing of Seton Hall’s first college relay team, are the high-lights of the year. The departure of Capt. Mel Dalton and Bernie McCafferty was a hard blow to the team and taking into account such a handicap Coach Clohosey ’s charges did remarkably well. Under Coach O’Connor, the first varsity soccer team closed a season that should mark an epoch in local athletics. The new sport promises to add laurels to Seton Hall’s fame and much of the credit must be attributed to the taciturn mentor. His knowl- edge of the game and his popularity with the members of the team combined to make him an excellent coach. This opening season has been auspicious, and heralds a new field of endeavour for future Setonians. 129 ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION James Doyle, President James Carey, Vice-President Francis Jordan, Vice-President Joseph McCauley, Secretary Charles Casserly Eugene Finnegan Richard Kee gan William Louis 130 ONE of the various societies and clubs that feed the flame of student activity at Seton Hall is so important as the College Athletic Association. The or- ganization undertakes the responsibility of financing athletics at Seton Hall and the present prosperous condition of all the teams is in a large measure due to the Association. Composed of students chosen from all of the four classes it is a student organization under the guidance of a faculty director. To those re- sponsible for its unqualified success during the scholastic year of 1928-29 the entire student body owes considerable thanks. For the last two years and until February of this year the Rev. Eugene Gallagher acted as Director of the Association. Possessed of a real liking for his work Father Gallagher overcame obstacles which might have discouraged one less zealous, and his capable and businesslike administration elevated athletics to the position of unprecedented prosperity that it now enjoys. The student body regret the necessity that has called Father Gallagher to other fields of activity and, mindful of the debt they owe him, all wish him complete success in his new work. The regular organization consisted this year of James M. Doyle ’29, President; James Carey ’30, Vice-President; Francis Jordan ’31, Second Vice-President; and Jos- eph McCauley ’31, and Edgar Verhost ’32, Secretaries. Jim Doyle has served in an executive capacity in the organization for four years and for that entire period he has performed his duties with an unfailing efficiency. His associates are to be commended for their invaluable assistance in all the activities of the Association. During the course of the year besides the numerous details connected with direct- ing the athletic teams the Association undertakes two major projects, the Annual Track Meet and in cooperation with the Dramatic Society, The Annual Show. These events are conducted primarily for the desirable activity and entertainment they af- ford and secondarily to assist the Association to carry out its athletic program. This year the complete success of both events is a tangible evidence of the accomplishments of the members of the Association. At the close of the basketball season Father Lillis succeeded Father Gallagher as Director of the Association. His interest in Seton Hall’s athletics even before his ac- ceptance of the position in which he may guide them serves as the basis for the predic- tion that he will continue the progressive policy of his predecessor and keep the Athletic Association the foremost student organization in the College.

Starting without three of last year’s regulars, Captain Ray Nelligan and Cy Pruzinsky, who were lost through graduation, and Steve Mickewich, who transferred to the University of St. Louis, Coach Hill was forced to fall back on his re- serve material, which rose nobly to a trying occasion. Sal Basile, Mike Torpey, and Eddie Madjeski, the latter a freshman team product, tried on the varsity shoes and proved them perfect fits. Captain Styx Henaby and Harry Singleton, vet- erans, completed the regulars, and Mulquin, Coughlin and Johnny Griffin did yeoman work in relief roles when the team ran afoul of an injury jinx that threatened to render the season a total loss. The Blue and White squad got under way on the night of December 8, meeting C. C. N. Y. and sending the visitors back to Brooklyn on the short side of a 41-17 score after a slow start. Henaby and Griffin, who took Torpey ’s place when Mike was singled out for the first attentions of the aforementioned hoodoo, led in the point-mak- ing with nine apiece. Four days later Cooper Union, another New York team, felt the power of the varsity attack and went weakly under, 47-19. Styx went off on a riotous scoring spree and accounted for twenty points to outscore the entire visiting cast. In addi- tion, the Hill defensive system functioned beautifully. After this promising start a lot of high hopes were dashed when Columbia proved unexpectedly powerful and got away with a 37-17 victory at New York. Making their first appearance off the home floor, the varsity never got going; and by the same token it was in this game that the Lions really found themselves, sweeping on to an eventual third place in the Intercollegiate League. Gregory, their crack colored center, was largely responsible for this first defeat. After the holidays the Blue and White convalesced at the expense of a feeble Long Island U. team in the first game at Shanley Gym. The score was 66-20 and Sal Basile duplicated the Henaby feat of single-handed slaughter by piling up twenty- five points. Styx and Singleton accounted for eleven each. Joe” Jinx stepped in at this point and called four paralyzing personals on Cap- tain Henaby. Styx went on the shelf and the varsity went into a prolonged slump, but not before managing a 3 2-31 victory over Bucknell in a game that would have made an ideal serial thriller. With Henaby and Mike Torpey out, the latter nursing his trick knee, Coach Hill was compelled to call on the reserves, who staggered through with the one-point verdict after both Basile and Griffin had been banished on personals. The losing streak lasted two weeks and the team dropped four tough games, all on the road. At Rutgers the score was 28-2 5, and although minus the steadying in- fluence of Styx the bearers of the Blue and White put up a desperate last-ditch battle that just failed of tumbling the Scarlet. Next Lafayette took a 21-18 decision at Easton. The varsity held a slender lead at half time but weakened and lost it at the end when someone was needed to tell them what to do with the ball. The third straight loss was suffered at Scranton, where St. Thomas’ took a 27-21 punch at the groggy travelers. Again the varsity fought to a slight half-time lead only to lose out in the last vital minutes. 135 During the course of a nine-point beating sustained at the hands of St. Joseph’s, a team that had previously forced Fordham to overtime, the Blue and White ’ ' fall guys” got the last of the bad basketball out of their systems. The score was 3 5-26. Styx got in the game for a few tentative minutes and the whole squad came back from Philly” grimly determined to make up for lost time. The first installment of the come-back was staged at Shanley Gym on February 16, when an always capable Mt. St. Mary’s team came up from Emmitsburg and en- countered decisive defeat by 44-34. Henaby and Singleton shared twenty-eight points and Basile chipped in nine. The varsity was on the mend. Manager Jim Naughton’s schedule calling for two New England appearances, the men of Hill first descended on the Newport Naval Station team. The Rhode Islanders were disposed to be scrappy and put up a staunch fight but the Blue had no time to waste in drawn-out games. The score was 47-3 5. The following night what Worcester papers later labelled the best team that has appeared against the Cross this season” descended on St. John’s High gym and shot it up in true Western style.” Singleton and Madjeski collaborated in tossing thirty- three points through the hoops, which constituted the basketball manner of making hoopee. Seton Hall — 48, Holy Cross — 32. Back in town after a one day rest, the varsity paid a flying visit to South Orange for their third and last game of the year in Setonia Gym, incidentally finding it hard to get the range after an absence of eight weeks. Loyola fought them to a stand- still at the start but their winning ways had gained too much momentum and eventually prevailed. Sal Basile sank the goal that settled the issue, 3 8 — 37. There was no stopping the Blue and White now and Shanley Gym witnessed their blazing finish. St. Thomas’ and St. Joseph’s, both holding victories over the varsity gained in the lean days of the slump, bowed to the inevitable, the Tommies by eleven points and St. Joe’s by nineteen. In the first game, on February 28, the score was 33 — 22, and the Blue and White was forced to put down a stubborn resistance on the part of the Scranton team before going on to win with a capable finish. Basile, Cap- tain Henaby and Madjeski did most of the successful shooting and ran the visiting guards ragged in the latter stages of the game. Two days later the Hillmen rang down the curtain in a one-sided return engagement with St. Joseph’s, bombarding the Phila- delphians’ basket with everything but the referee. A fair idea of the slaughter may be gained from the first-half score, which was 23 — 4. Styx, Basile, and Harry Singleton played leading parts in the ear-splitting swan song. And that’s that. The season ended on a high note and, looking back at it all, the thought occurs that the 1928-29 varsity might never have attained the heights it did if it had not been for an unfortunate series of injuries, a circumstance that brought out the real fighting qualities of a great captain and a great team. Much of the credit for the year’s success, of course, must go to Coach Frank Hill, whose insistence on team play rather than individual effort was largely responsible for the moulding of a comparatively green team into a formidable, winning combina- tion. No single player stood out, and it was this merging of separate capabilities that offset certain particular weakness. finished whole. Styx’s floor direction kept the team functioning smoothly at all times and in addition his under-the-basket worn was a constant threat. Sal Basile’s speed in getting down the floor and sharp eye from a thousand angles added dash to the attack and valuable points to the Blue and White score sheets. Eddie Madjeski’s uncanny faculty of sensing and intercepting or breaking up enemy passes was a powerful pro- tective bulwark and together with Mike Torpey’s steady and dependable guarding made the varsity’s defense, at its best, well nigh impregnable. Harry Singleton’s splendid floor-work rounded off the machine and provided the necessary balance. Also, the sub- stitutes, notably Johnny Griffin, come in for their share of merit. Griffin, Mulquin, Coughlin and Maher all did their bit in the important relief work that assumed size- able proportions at more than one stage of the campaign. Seton Hall can feel pardonably proud of Frank Hill and his latest product.

The squad, capably coached by Johnny Griffin of the varsity, accounted for seven triumphs out of twelve starts. Like the varsity, the yearlings were beset with difficulties at almost every stage of the cam- paign and the manner in which they rose above them to more than break even in the record does credit to themselves and their coach. The season may unhesitatingly be stamped successful. The Frosh opened their season immediately after the Christmas recess by defeating the Edison Electric outfit of West Orange, the victims being champions of the State Industrial League. Joe Kinney played a whale of a game and took the scoring lead that was never to be relinquished. The second game at Jersey City saw the yearlings yield a stubbornly fought battle to St. Peter’s Prep by the margin of a single point. De- spite the fine playing of Bill Outwater and Joe Kinney the Freshmen were unable to overtake the victors in the last few minutes when their chances looked exceedingly bright. The score was 26 — 2 5. In their third start the Frosh traveled to New York and lost to a strong Fordham Freshman team by 30 — 18. Here they were without the services of Kinney and Lennon, who were unable to make the trip because of sickness. Bayley High of Mor- ristown was the next opponent and with Bill Outwater and Liddy joining Kinney and Lennon on the sick-list the decidedly patchy line-up lost out by four points, 20 — 16. Two days later the Frosh got back on the straight and narrow at Kearny, where they downed the high school representatives of that town in a circus finish. At half-time the score stood 10 — 7 in favor of the home team but the yearlings came back after the intermission and buried their opponents under a 3 8 -point tally. The final score was 45 — 13. Demarest High of Hoboken, Hudson County champions, nosed out the Freshmen by two points in their sixth start. A long shot by Vin Liddy that would have tied the score was just beaten out by the whistle that ended the game. The score was 2 5 — 23, with Coughlin and Tom Lennon accounting for most of the Frosh points. Joe Dempsey and Kinney ran wild in the next game against Dickinson at Jersey City and defeated the home team almost unassisted. The margin of victory was 47 — 19. The Frosh lost their next two games to St. Benedict’s Prep and Lincoln High, both away from home. The scores were 45 — 27 and 25 — 21. A comeback was im- mediately started at the expense of the Collegiate Institute team in a game that re- sulted in a 29 — 21 win. The season was officially closed at Newark against Newark Tech, the Engineers being nosed out by four points after gaining a twelve-point lead at half-time. Outwater led the late attack that brought victory by 26 — 22. In a post-season game the yearlings defeated the crack Rockaway H. N. S. team at Rockaway, largely on the strength of Joe Kinney’s sixteen points. Previous to meet- ing the Frosh the home team had won fourteen straight. The final score was 3 3 — 29. 138 BASEBALL John P. McGuinness Captain 139 VARSITY BASEBALL William Cahalan, Manager.

This sizeable turn-out augurs well for a successful sea- son, especially in view of the fact that it includes no less than twelve veterans, of whom seven saw regular service last year. The group of old- timers comprises pitchers, catchers, infielders and outfielders and will form a strong nucleus about which to build a formidable team. At a meeting of the letter-men just prior to the first practice session Johnny McGuinness, of the Senior Class, was unanimously elected to the captaincy and will lead the Blue and White during the coming campaign. Prominent among the available veterans are Styx” Henaby, Jack Gallagher, and Darby” Powers, pitchers; Eddie Madjeski and Harry Kennedy, catchers; Bud Sweeney, Sal Basile and Mike Torpey, infielders; and Johnny McGuinness, Neil Shay, Jimmie Naughton and Jack Madden, outfielders. In addition there is a wealth of new material which should materially lighten Milt Feller’s task of moulding a winning combination for Seton Hall. The newcomers include Gasparini, second-string catcher for Rutgers last year; Bill Outwater, pitcher, and Jack Murphy and Bill Kearney, infielders, of last year’s state championship Prep team; Jim Donnelly and Ed Mooney, pitcher and infielder, both of whom have had varsity experience; Bill Gallagher, catcher, Ray O’Neil, Harry Singleton, Ed Stockhammer and E. J. Carney, infielders, and Frank McCarthy, Johnnie Murphy and Joe Jaldini, outfielders. All these have survived the preliminary cuts. In some instances it is difficult to predict just who will occupy varsity berths. Styx” Henaby and Jack Gallagher, of course, are fixtures in the box, and will share most of the pitching burden between them, with Darby” Powers and Bill Outwater performing in relief roles. Eddie Madjeski will do the backstopping, but if Gasparini comes through as expected Eddie will probably move out into the infield where he per- forms equally well and where his big bat will add punch to the attack. Neil Shay, Jack Murphy, Ray O’Neil and Sal Basile are all candidates for first-base, a position left vacant by the graduation of Cy” Pruzinsky. At second the choice lies between Harry Singleton, Mike Torpey, and Ed Carney, with a possibility that Bud Sweeney may be shifted over to cover the bag if Eddie Madjeski is fitted in at short, a location in which Bud is accustomed to hold forth. Third will probably be handed over uncon- ditionally to Bill Kearney, who comes up from the Prep with everything in his favor. Bill played that position with the Prep title-holders of last year and his fine hitting and fielding earned him the hot corner on the All-State team. He will make a valuable addition to the varsity. 141 The outfield patrol will consist of Captain Johnny McGuinness in left, Jim Naughton in center, and Jack Madden in right. Hans” Kennedy will move out from behind the plate to back them up and Frank McCarthy, Johnnie Murphy, and Joe Jaldini will roam around in the background. Manager Bill Cahalan has compiled an imposing schedule of fifteen games, start- ing with St. Francis at South Orange on Saturday, April 14, and closing with Cornell University at Ithaca early in June. St. John’s College, old rivals of the Blue and White, will be met twice, both at home and away. Fordham finds a place on the schedule for the first time in nine years, the clash with the Maroon being booked for New York on April 24. Boston College and the Newport Naval Training Station should provide plenty of trouble on a brief New England trip in May, and the Blue will have to step to get over Columbia when the Lions are encountered at Baker Field on April 21. Brooklyn City College will be in South Orange on April 20. The varsity goes to Montclair on May 11 to take on the Montclair A. C. and down to Newark three days later to cross bats with Rutgers in a game that will probably be played at Davids’ Stadium. The Scarlet has already beaten Princeton, which is an indication of troublesome strength. Amherst, Bucknell and Cathedral round out the list, the first named being a newcomer to Seton Hall schedules. Bucknell got away with a victory last year and will be out to repeat — naturally. Cathedral should be easy. The old grads” will be met in the regular Alumni Day homecoming and will be harder than ever to hurdle, judging from the advance reports. Joe Peplowski, Stretch” Meehan, the Shannon brothers, Big Dick” McDonough and all the other fabled figures who capered around the Seton Hall diamond in the good old days will be back to don the invariably ill-fitting uniforms and have a go at their youthful successors.

Ad Clohosey worked well at the coaching job and deserves more than passing mention in any review of the team’s activities. The squad made its only cross-country start, and that a winning one, in the New Jersey A. A. U. championships held at Branch Brook Park last No- vember. Ad Clohosey, Johnny Mulvihill, Jim Ryall and John Imholf carried the Blue and White colors to the team title by defeating the Bloomfield Lyceum, always a strong contender, St. Joseph’s, Jersey Harriers and the Prudential A. A. The victory was particularly noteworthy in view of the absence of Dalton, holder of the individual championship. On indoor tracks Seton Hall was represented for the first time in its history by a college relay team, Fred Esser, Neil Shay, Johnny Mulvihill, Frank Besson, Frank Reilly and Ad Clohosey alternating at the one and two-mile distances. The two-mile team, composed of Esser, Clohosev, Shay and Mulvihill, finished third to Fordham and N. Y. U. at the Norwegian Games in Brooklyn, fourth to Manhattan, Fordham and N. Y. U. at the Seton Hall meet, and third to Georgetown and N. Y. U. at the classic Knights of Columbus meet in Madison Square Garden. The one-mile team finished third to St. John’s and Panzer Normal at the Seton Hall meet with Mulvihill, Besson, Reilly and Esser carrying the baton, and third to the Fordham and St. John’s entries at the 14th Regiment Games in Brooklyn, where Clohosey replaced Reilly. Fred Esser and Johnny Mulvihill, the two most consistent relay performers, and Hans Kennedy were the only men to take part in individual competition indoors. Esser placed third in the 1,000-yard event at the Warinanco Games in Elizabeth, coming up fast on the last lap from a position far in the rear, and fourth in the State 1,000-yard championship at Newark. At the Warinanco meet Hans Kennedy took a fifth place in the pentathlon. Johnny Mulvihill placed second in the State 1,000-yard championship at Newark and finished third to Phil Edwards, of N. Y. U., and Frank Bailey, of the New York A. C., in the 1,000-yard event at the Newark A. C. Games. The outdoor season is now underway with the squad pointing especially for the an- nual Penn Relays to be held at Philadelphia early in April. A team will probably com- pete there in the four-mile Relay Championship of America. Other meets definitely on the outdoor schedule are those of the Bloomfield Lyceum and the Orange Knights of Columbus. In addition, Villanova and St. John’s will probably be engaged in dual meets. Looking at the season from a point more or less mid-way in its course, at least at the time of writing, it may be said that the varsity track accomplishments during the year were at least as notable as might be reasonably expected under the circumstances. No team could suffer the loss of two such sterling performers as Dalton and McCafferty and remain champions. And this observation in no way detracts from the credit due the present members of the varsity squad. Rather, in the light of the results of their efforts, such credit is enhanced.

FRANK BESSON 220 YDS. 1928 146 I I T the annual Field Day games held on October 1, 1928, the class of 1929 con- clusively established its claim to intramural track and field supremacy at Seton Hall for the fourth successive year. The outgoing Seniors, however, were extended to the limit to prove their superiority and barely nosed out the troublesome Sophs by a single point, the final summary reading 32-31. The Freshmen finished third with fifteen points and the Juniors fourth and last with five. Individual honors of the day went to Red” Mulvihill, Freshman track find, who accounted for most of his class’s total by two surprising victories in the mile and half-mile events and later anchored his class team into second place in the mile relay. Frank Besson, Sophomore track man, captured firsts in the 220-yard dash and the broad jump and finished second to Liddy of the Sophs in the high jump. The big Senior point-getters were Hans” Kennedy, Fred Esser, Ad Clohosey and Neil Shay, while Ernie DeVincentis saved the Juniors from a shutout by winning the shot-put. The 440-yard dash went to the Seniors when Shay breezed home ahead of Liddy, Sophomore, and his Freshman name-sake in the fast time of 0:51 3-5. The Yankee ran along a path of roses as far as competition was concerned and took the race handily. The high jump took the form of a strictly Sophomore event when Liddy, Besson and Maher made the best leaps in that order 1 , the first named doing 5 feet 2 inches to capture the medal. The broad jump went to Besson, Sophomore. Suchon, a team- mate, finished second and Kennedy, Senior, third. The winning distance was 19 feet, 6 inches. The shot-put gave the Juniors their sole victory when Ernie DeVincentis threw the heavy ball 37 feet, 6 inches. Hans Kennedy and Mike” Torpey, Senior and Soph respectively, finished second and third. The 100-yard dash found Kennedy, Senior, breaking the tape just ahead of Reilly, Sophomore, and Vin Liddy, Freshman, in the time of 0:10 1-5. Red” Mulvihill took the mile over Clohosey and Esser, Seniors, m 4:31, and the half-mile over the same two men in 2.0 1-5, both races showing the big yearling to splendid advantage. Besson, Sophomore, came through with a burning finish to take the 220-yard dash away from Shay and Charlie Murphy, both Seniors. The winning time was 0:25 1-2. The Senior relay team, composed of Kennedy, Esser, Clohosey and Shay, running in the order named, galloped off with the mile relay, feature event of the day. The victorious quartet made a show of the rest of the field and left no room for argument as to the justice of the result. Kennedy ran to a short lead on the first leg and Esser stepped away fast to lengthen it out to sixty yards on the second. Clohosey added over thirty yards to the advantage and Shay broke the tape more than a hundred ahead. Ryall, Hession, McLaughlin and Mulvihill carried the baton for the second-place Freshmen. All in all, the 1929 Field Day was a success, both in regard to the numbers taking part and in the quality of competition that resulted. It marked, in addition, the first time in the history of the games that any one class maintained an unbroken string of victories throughout four years. 1929 Doc Mac Bored? Bucky Harrb” ” ,IHad The Wrong Page! LBt)ucr! START OF 1928 OLYMPIC STEEPLECHASE AT AMSTERDAM MEL DALTON T is difficult to find the words with which to pen a tribute to Mel Dalton. Mel’s personality and accomplishments are such that any written encomium must necessarily fall lamentably short. Nevertheless, The White and Blue of 1929 would be incomplete without a parting salute to Seton Hall’s former track captain, Uncle Sam’s sturdy athletic defender, and ’29’s classmate and friend. Mel flashed meteor-like across the athletic firmament on a sleepy Sunday afternoon in June, at Travers Island, where the sectional tryouts for the 192 8 Olympic Team were being held. An American steeplechasing record of long standing went tumbling into the discard and a world’s record wobbled crazily on the verge under the assault of the twenty-year old distance star who was running his third competitive steeplechase. Things happened fast then — Cambridge, the Atlantic, and the Olympic Stadium at Amsterdam. In the fastest heat of the event Mel finished second to champion Ritola and carried America’s hopes into the final with the veteran Spencer of Chicago, the two facing a brilliant array of international talent. Victory in that classic race was denied Mel, but the sting of defeat was softened by the knowledge that, as always, he had done his best. We of ’29, knowing him, shared the knowledge. It was his last race and a fitting climax to the career of a gallant athlete. Now, before going our separate ways, we unite in bidding Mel Dalton farewell and wishing him the best of luck. 149 VARSITY SOCCER Thomas O’Connor, Coach Harry Kennedy Daniel Leamy Edward Madjeski Joseph Maher William MacDonald Frank Reilly John Wilson, Captain Edward Carney William Fitzpatrick William Heimbold Norman Joyce Martin Kaiser William Kearney 150 AST September saw the inauguration of intercollegiate soccer at Seton Hall when the first eleven ever to represent the College in this sport was placed in the field. The ancient Irish game was at once pursued with a vengeance. Tom O’Connor, a member of the Senior Class, was placed in complete charge of the coaching end and after a few trial sessions Johnny Wilson was elected Captain. Eugene F. Sullivan was appointed Manager, with James Martine as assistant, and the two set about the task of arranging a suitable schedule while practice was begun in earnest. After losing the first game to Panzer Normal the inaugural outfit came back and kicked its way to a double victory over the Stevens Tech representatives. The first meeting was at Hoboken and resulted in a Seton Hall triumph by a score of 2-0. A week later Stevens invaded South Orange in a vain effort to wipe out the stigma of defeat. This time the final score was 5-0. In the two games Barber, brilliant inside right of the Blue and White, tallied six of his team’s seven points. A return game with Panzer followed in which the varsity succumbed after lead- ing practically all the way on a goal by Captain Wilson, the Normal team scoring twice near the end. Next Pratt Institute visited South Orange and went away humbled by 2-0. Here the famous varsity basketball combination of Singleton and Madjeski was very much in evidence, the two defending the Setonian net in airtight fashion. Rutgers got away with a heart-breaking 2-1 decision at New Brunswick after the Pratt victory when the Scarlet eleven broke a 1-1 deadlock in the last minute of play, and in the final game the Blue and White held the crack Prudential team, con- querors of Princeton, to a surprising 1-1 tie. During this first season the Setonians won three games, lost three, and tied one, a remarkable record considering the team’s lack of competitive experience. They scored sixteen goals to their opponents’ ten, Barber accounting for seven, Carney and Joyce three apiece, and Captain Wilson, Kearney and Leamy one each. To date Manager Frank Jordan’s 1929-30 schedule includes games with the U. of P., Rutgers, Swarth- more, Temple, St. John’s and Stevens Tech, and this array should be given plenty of trouble by a bigger and better Seton Hall soccer team.

Keegan of 418 Kane Street, this city. Patrolman Griffin made the identification after reading yesterday’s account of the oc- currence in which it was stated that the man continually reiterated the phrase McCafferty can beat ’em all.” It was at first believed that the victim’s name was McCafferty but Griffin explained that to be the name of an old track star greatly admired by Keegan. Wilson Completes Successful Campaign New York, June 12. — John J. Wilson, Jr., foreign advertising agent for Happy Hit cigarettes, returned today on the Nautilus” of the Brook Tour Lines from a three-months testimonial campaign in Darkest Africa, where he has been carry- ing the doctrine of smoke pleasure to the cannibalistic natives in the interior, a section never before penetrated by the white man. Wilson’s slogan, Reach for a Happy instead of a Tom-tom,” took the natives by storm. Penniless Contest Winner Sails on Tour New York, June 12. — A penniless poet, winner of the News Limerick Contest award of $100, sails today in a first-class cabin of the Berengaria for a tour of Europe. Gerald Raftery, whose life reads like a story book, is the lucky winner. Raftery intends to travel extensively in foreign lands, returning next spring and probably going into the banking game with what remains of the $100. If I have enough left I intend to get a good comfortable seat on the Stock Ex- change,” he said, just before sailing. Donnelly Won’t Consider Alliance Proposals New York, June 12. — The Pittston Post will say tomorrow that James A. Donnelly, anthracite magnate in the Scranton district, has refused to consent to the merger proposals of the soft coal operators. Donnelly considers their coal entirely too soft for practical uses. Let them harden their coal and then come to me,” he says. Flanagan Sets New Road Record Newark, June 12. — Daredevil Tom” Flanagan, stunt driver for the Lodge Motors, completed a record-breaking en- durance test here today. For forty days and forty nights Flanagan, blindfolded, has been driving through the streets of this city handcuffed to the wheel of his Victory Six. I did it for the wife and kiddies,” he said simply as he stumbled from the car at the conclusion of the long run. Flanagan refused to be interviewed and left hurriedly to take his little family out for a ride. Seer Puzzled by Perversity of Planets West Orange, June 12. — Three hun-. dred followers of John Houdini” Tynan, local soothsayer, who stood bareheaded on Eagle Rock a little after midnight today waiting for a collision of the earth and Mars as per prediction, went back to their homes after an hour’s wait when the scheduled phenomenon failed to occur. Many of them had come from distant points and not a few demanded the money which they had committed to the seer’s care. Tynan professed himself mystified at the failure of the Planets to collide at the appointed hour. Possibly I’m a little fast,” he said, looking at his watch. 161 162 New York, June 12 — The recital of Louis E. Greco, mandolin artist, at Aeolian Hall yesterday afternoon was somewhat marred near the end of the program by an entirely unforeseen in- cident. A man who later told reporters he was James P. Cunningham rose in the rear of the hall and began to hurl pennies at Greco as the musician strug- gled with the Moonlight Sonata.” The infuriated musician was restrained with difficulty from climbing down into the audience and gave up the idea only when Cunningham began using nickels and dimes for ammunition. A good time was had by all. Class Reunion Disrupts Paris Quarter Paris, June 12. — A chance class re- union at number 4 Rue de Chevreuse in the students’ quarter of Paris late last night assumed such boisterous propor- tions that it necessitated the calling out of reserve gendarmes to restore order. Daniel J. Beans” Leamy, an American art student, Francis Styx” Henaby, a sailor attached to a U. S. gunboat, Joseph Phillips, prominent American film star, and Neil Edward Shay, foreign corres- pondent of the South Orange Bulletin, collaborated in the celebration after their chance meeting on the twentieth anniversary of their graduation. Immediately after the first greetings Shay and Henaby came to blows over a philosophical problem disputed by them in their junior year at college. Phillips and Leamy took sides and the disagree- ment was patched up only after consider- able injury had been done the building. The combatants agreed to submit the question to a philosopher whom they de- cided to interview the first thing in the morning. at Times Square New York, June 12. — Albert’s famous flea circus at Times Square was the scene of an amusing incident early yesterday afternoon when Professor Paul V. Ma- honey, an itinerant biologist, resorted to a clever ruse in an attempt to get away with several of the specimens. Ma- honey entered the establishment with a small terrier concealed beneath his coat, intending to use the animal as a decoy to attract the tiny creatures, which he desired to u se for his laboratory work. When intercepted by the excitable Al- bert the rascally professor explained that he had mistaken the building for Madison Square Garden where he understood there was a dog show in progress. A good laugh was enjoyed by all and the lov- able old scoundrel departed, ostensibly for Madison Square Garden with his mangy exhibit. Doyle Retires to Brush and Palette Jersey City, June 12. — James M. Doyle, mayor of Jersey City and director of Democratic destinies in his state for the past fifteen years, retires from active service today after a long and honorable political career. According to D. G. Monaco, State Inspector of Motor Ve- hicles, who is perhaps closest to the sturdy old war-horse, Doyle is going to devote his future to the painting of decorative greeting cards, an art that has yielded him a vast private fortune during his years of public service. The opportunities in painting greet- ing cards are amazing,” said Monaco. A man in Council Bluffs, Iowa, made $348.16 in two weeks and has more or- ders on hand than he can fill. Write for particulars today.” 163 164 Rustics Buy Grant’s Tomb for Song New York, June 12. — The days of gold bricks have not passed and James O’Brien and James Naughton are today trying vainly to establish their title to Grant’s Tomb and the Bronx Zoo, which they insist were purchased by them yes- terday from John McGuinness, taxicab driver and metropolitan confidence man. O’Brien and Naughton came to New York several days ago from rural New England intending to see the sights of the town. Yesterday they hailed Mc- Guinness and had him drive them to Grant s Tomb. McGuinness represented himself as the owner of the memorial and offered to sell it outright for $2 5 in cash. O Brien and Naughton agreed and after some brief parley McGuinness threw in the Bronx Zoo for an additional fifteen dollars. Show Obstructs Traffic, Proprietor Fined Racine, Wis., June 12. — Charles B. Murphy, proprietor of Murphy’s Mam- moth Medicine Show, was summoned into court here today on charges of ob- structing traffic, resisting an officer, and fraud. Murphy’s assistants, who gave their names as John Coakley and John Moon” Mullen, were also taken into custody. According to Sheriff Quick, who made the arrests, Murphy refused to stop selling rattlesnake oil on Main Street when requested to do so and incited the man Mullen to attack him with a ukelele. Coakley, the show’s Wild Man of Borneo, bit him severely on the ankle, the sheriff charged. The trio were fined and ordered to leave town. British Likely to Meet Donnelly’s Terms London, June 12. — Latest advices from Bombay seem to indicate that Donnelly of Arabia” will make no concessions to the British Government in its attempts to come to a bloodless agreement on the Delhi question and it is believed at the Foreign Office that the rebel’s demands will be met. Late last night Donnelly led a savage horde of Arabs, whirling dervishes, and desert rabble to the very gates of Calcutta and defied the com- mandant of the garrison to give battle. After riding furiously about the walls of the city for two hours the motley band galloped off in the direction of Bay- onne. O’Connor to Render Fraud Decision Newark, June 12. — A friendship of twenty years standing will come to an official end in the Court of Common Pleas next week when Judge O’Connor renders his decision in the case of Esser vs. Clohosey. Esser, an Arlington bar- ber, and Clohosey, East Orange real estate dealer, have been inseparable since both were graduated from Seton Hall College in the class of ’29. Two weeks ago Clohosey summoned his one-time friend into court, charging that Esser had been selling him vinegar, and very poor vinegar at that, under the guise of hair tonic. In counter charges Esser accused the realtor of selling him a plot of ground twenty feet under Park ave- nue. Both have made Judge O’Connor attractive offers and the magistrate has reserved decision. 165 Philanthropist Precipitates Riot in Wall Street New York, June 12. — William J. Cahalan, 348 Avon Ave., Kingston, Pa., is being held for observation in the psychopathic ward of Bellevue Hospital as the result of an incident which yes- terday resulted in serious injury to 16 persons and the paralyzing of traffic at William and Wall Streets during the height of the noon-day rush. The dis- turbance began when Cahalan suddenly appeared at the intersection with a satchel full of bills of large denomination, which he distributed laughingly to passers-by. Crowds rushed the philanthropist and reserves from the Old Slip station were called out to restore order. Cahalan refused to give any explana- tion for his strange action other than to say that he thought he might possibly have had an obligation of charity to- wards someone in the financial district. It is unlikely that Rooney will be able to catch up with his old rival as Kennedy intends to quit the ring within a year at most and take up painting, be- ginning with houses and working up gradually to whatever is to be worked up to gradually. Seek Ban for Mad Golfers East Orange, June 12. — The golf course of the Fairview Country Club in East Orange is to be used for just that and nothing more, according to officials of the club who are seeking to have Jack Feeney, Edward J. Ennis, John McDonald and Paul Raftery restrained from playing the game at any and all courses in the United States and Canada. The case will be brought to the attention of the International Golfing Association and it is hoped that the ban will be later extended to include Europe. Kennedy and Rooney Finish Hard Work Chicago, June 12. — Hans Kennedy and Marty Rooney begin the business of tapering off tomorrow for their ten- round bout at the Chicago Stadium next Thursday night. Rooney breezed through his last hard work-out this afternoon, doing several hundred yards on the road and punching a time-clock for three rounds. Kennedy skipped rope for five rounds and spent the remainder of the afternoon playing hop-scotch. This will be the ninety-second meet- ing between the two men. Kennedy has emerged the victor from 48 of these bouts while Rooney has been a winner 3 8 times. Six of the battles resulted in draws. For the past six months the four have been using the Fairview course as a bat- tleground for the settlement of private grudges. The climax was reached yes- terday when Feeney brought a second- hand saxophone onto the links and per- sisted in blowing shrill blasts on the in- strument whenever one of the other three attempted to play a ball. McDonald, senior member of the firm of McDonald Sons, pharmacists, retaliated by knock- ing Feeney down and trying to force a solution of deadly poisons down his throat while Raftery and Ennis beat at the prostrate body with driving irons. Other players who sought to interfere were forced to retreat under a shower of golf balls. The president of the club has asked police protection. 166 SI R jai 0 A MAP OF 1 § OLD SETONIA r i i 1 1 IN 1950 £ 3 By That Long Lean Yankee r 1 f c .H One.

So when we say that we insure the quality of our ice cream we are giving you every assurance of goodness, flavor, delicious- ness, smoothness and creamy richness. We can insure quality because our ice cream is made of the purest and best materials and because it is Heathized, made by a method which scientifically protects the purity of our ice cream. Heathization removes the air from the freezers and replaces it with an atmosphere that is absolutely sterile and infinitely purer than air. This insures purity. It also intensifies the flavors of ice cream made this way. So you are insured a much more delicious and better-tasting ice cream. J. T. CASTLES ICE CREAM CO. IRVINGTON, N.
