HERE is a saying to the effect that those who live on a mountain top enjoy a longer day than the inhabitants of the valley below. That is to say, their vision is wider and extends over larger vista. The Class of ’3 3 is now, so to speak on the mountain top, the crest of their collegiate training. Looking back along the winding path that leads up the mountain from the valley, we remember that there were many sharp rocks of disappointment and failure which blocked our path. But for the most part our four-year trail was carpeted by the soft green moss of learning, friendship and pleasant experiences. Back in 1929 when the soft September sunshine was glorifying the Seton Hall campus and the silver hair of the waning year was beginning to show here and there, we came to Seton Hall as humble freshmen. We looked ahead at the mountainous path with no lit tle timidity. Our teachers, however, took us under their care and acted as guides along the trail. It was not long before we had welded ourselves into an organized society working towards the same end, as Father Guterl would say. We elected Thomas Gilhooley, an enterprising young orator, to the Presidency of our class. Assisting him were Joseph Fleming, Thomas Barry, and Joseph McGraw. Under the expert guidance of the able parliamentarian, Gilhooley, we made fine progress. A casual observer who might have chanced to stroll across the Seton Hall campus at about this time would have seen a group of nonchalant (nonchalance having been adopted as a safe-guard against Senior exploitation) young gentlemen exhibiting head- gear of a slightly communistic trend. In short, we were controlling our chagrin and were wearing the red caps prescribed by the Seniors who were playing the heavy role in the little campus drama. When the varsity basketball squad began its season our class had two representa- tives playing regularly — Marty” Byrne and Shorty” Zdanewicz. Later when the crack of the bat interrupted the chirping of the early Spring birds in the rear of Alumni Hall, Zdanewicz patrolled an outfield post on the varsity baseball nine.
