Bayley Hall B a L I £ !) j) NINETEEN-THIRTY NINE PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS SETON HALL COLLEGE, S. ORANGE, N. J. r r The Class of 59 proudly offers this, the first edition of the Seton Hall Galleon , as tangible evidence of the love and interest which it holds for its alma mater. It is only fitting that the class dedicate this, the first edition, to one who typifies in the concrete, what in the abstract is known as ' school Spirit. A man who as a student, lived, loved and preached Seton Hall to his fellow students and to all with whom he came in contact, and when as a priest of God, stationed at the College, continues to spread its fair name. For his real service, and all inclusive love of Seton Hall, and as our idea and ideal of what the true Setonian should he, we the Class of 39, dedicate this the first edition of the “Galleon ' ' to the Rev. James A. Carey. We pledge allegiance io the flag of the United States and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible with liberty and justice for all l-l-l T 1 lh publication of the Galleon represents one ol the last acts of the ( lass of 59 as undergraduates, for soon we will assume our position in society ... a society lacking in ideals, both Catholic and American. If we the Class of 39 do in any small way contribute to the furtherance of these ideals, we have hut Seton Hall to thank. Our minds have been imbued with the principles for which our fore- fathers willingly and unselfishly sacrificed, and which is our duty and task to uphold and defend. If any one man deserves credit for in- culcating into our minds, the spirit of Catholic Americanism it is our President, the Rev. Dr. James F. Kelly. His keen mind realizes fully the necessity of training in basic American and Catholic principles and it has been reflected in the thorough courses of studies, which we have pursued under his direction.

Kelly, A.B., A.M., Ph.D. President and Treasurer O N behalf of the faculty, alumni, ancl friends of Seton Hall, 1 wish to convey a personal message of gratitude to you, the Class of 39 . The publication of the Galleon’ is hut a climax to your achievements as undergraduates. A college is only as good as the student body makes it, and you have spared yourselves no little in making Seton Hall the college that it is. May the same zeal and spirit which characterized your endeavors as undergraduates, awaken to its fullest intensity and carry you forth to a most successful existence in life. May God bless you in all your undertakings, and when it comes time to face your all just and merciful Judge, may His words he a source of eternal joy and comfort:— Well done good and faithful servants. 22 Rev: James A. Hamilton, A.M., S.T.B. Vice-President and Dean “THE presentation of a Year Boole, after a lapse of many years, is an indication of the spirit that has characterized your class since your advent to Seton Hall. After hurdling the Alps with Blannihal and with a brief rest at the Bandusian spring with Horace, you felt equal to any task imposed upon you, either by the inconsiderate vagaries of professorial dictators or by the traditions of your Alma Mater. The traditions of a college are a composite picture of the life of its student- body. As students you have been faithful custodians of the traditions of the past and you have contributed your part to that continuous and unending chain which molds the life of Seton Hall. We cherish the memory of your days among us and pray a kindly Providence to illumine the days that stretch before you. Farewell! 23 Rev. Joseph H. Brady, Ph.D., S.T.D.

VIC1MUS,” we came, we saw, we conquered.” That ” sums up in a few words the history of the Class of 39. Perhaps the expression may sound a hit trite but if it was good enough for Caesar it certainly is good enough for us. But as old Confucius says, ' Actions speak louder than words.” So as not to doubt the words of one so noble as Confucius — Lights, Camera, Action. Before starting on a review of our past deeds it is only fitting that we pay tribute to the first thing which made a deep impression on our minds as Freshmen, and will continue we hope, to impress the minds of future Freshmen, that is, the friendly and cooperative spirit shown by the upper-classmen to the incoming Frosh — may it ever be so. September, 1935 . Our first treat as Freshmen was a welcome dance sponsored by the Alumni in the Gym. It was a social success in which old grad met undergrad, Senior met Freshman, and Joe met the blonde”. (Oops pardon me.) Who will ever forget that famous Freshman Football team? Why it was not invited to the Rose Bowl is beyond us politics that s all. It made its debut on a Saturday morning against the Prep, and it might be added that the season nearly ended on the same Saturday morning. The infirmary looked like Times Square at Rush Flour. Then came the softball league from which we emerged champs. Not bad considering we did not have any ringers . So as not to appear unsociable we thought it would be nice to throw a dance — ■ a summer formal at the Essex House. Well, the dance was thrown and so w r as the Class to the extent of sixty-five dollars. 31 SEPTEMBER, 1936 . Well we dropped in again a year older and wiser. Our deeds summed up in a few words saw us drub tbe Frosb in a mattress rush, in which the Marquis de Hoboken rules prevailed. (They’re still looking for a few of the hoys.) We took the softball title for the second straight year. (Brooklyn must he in this league). However the most important event, was the ascendancy of Dr. James F. Kelly to the Presidency. He promised a new deal for Seton Hall and he carried out his promises to the letter. September, 1937 . Today we are men. Well darn near anyway. Twenty of us shave now. Probably the two greatest events of any Junior year are the “Prom’’ and “Junior Day . Both were rip-roaring successes. The Prom was held at the Canoe Brook Country Club and the old jitterbugs jittered and hopped to the strains of Ray Keating and his orchestra. This represented one of the first appearances of a “name” hand at any Setonia social. Without appearing as braggarts the Class of 39 probably gave the best Junior night entertainment ever presented at the College. The First Legion ”, a play dealing with the lives of a few Jesuit priests was received with the greatest approval of faculty, parents and students. Each indi- vidual member of the cast deserves the high- est commendation for his splendid work. No we did not win the softball title; we were afraid we would he penalized by the Gov- ernment for creating a monopoly. A senior fare-well dance mixed with all the gayety and frivolity which usually accompanies such affairs, brought the year to a successful close. 32 September, 1958. At tbe beginning of tbe end of our school days a word of advice may be offered to those coming after us, — there’s no truth to the statement “you can’t flunk a Senior Paging Doc . . . never mind. To continue, we held one of the first social events of the year, a dance in the gym and to which might be pleasingly added was a financial and social success. Probably the greatest thing the Class of ’39 accomplished in its stay at the Hall was to revive the yearbook. The College hadn’t had a year- book in six years and in order to show the love and esteem which it holds for its alma mater, the Class of ’39 decided to publish one. To insure the financial success of the yearbook a Galleon Ball was held at the Robert Treat Hotel by the Seniors in con- junction with the lower classes. Andy Kress and his orchestra supplied the music and as per usual a good time was ha d by all. In order to keep alive its name as an or- , ganizer, the class, with the approval of the faculty, set aside the week previous to grad- uation as Senior Week, d he events of the week were carefully planned and scheduled. Well the only thing now left to talk about is the receiving of the dear old sheepskin. However, since at this writing graduation is still but a dream, all descriptions will have to be omitted. Looking back over our four years we can truly say we had a grand time. However we cannot but feel sorry on leaving. It is not easy for friends of four years standing to part. And so it is with a heavy heart that we bid old Setonia “adieu.’’ 33 Rocco J. Bonelli, B.S. Garfield, New Jersey “Rock” W hat should a man do but be merry? ’ Shakespeare.

Simons Vice-President Secretary JUNIOR CLASS one year is left for us, the Juniors, to bask in the warming friendship of the Purple Hills; one year in which we have to reach our goal— that of a college graduate. This penultimate annum just completed has been a most joyous one, which will linger in our memories until we meet our Creator. Starting hack in September, to put it in chronological order, we quickly elected officers of the class, to the Student Council, and to the Executive Council of the Athletic Association. James C. Canniff got the nod as President of our little group, Dominick Passante, Vice-President; Thomas J. Simons, Secretary; and Peter A. Leone, Treasurer. Joseph L. Connolly was our Council nominee, while William M. Thomas, John J. Meade. I a trick J. Scally, and Bernard J. Connell were the A. A. representatives. A large number of our men held exalted positions in the various extra-curricular activities, notably John Meade as Editor of the Setonian and President of Phi Kappa Pi; Joseph W. Hanley, Business Manager of the Setonian ; John J. Smith, Vice-President of the Knights of Setonia; and Harry Purcell, Vice-President of the Bayley Society. On the court, diamond and track, our prowess and attainments have emblazoned the folds of the White and Blue, and our contribution of class members to the Glee Club, Schola Cantorum, and the Orchestra has been acknowledged as a definite asset to our Alma Mater. i 60 Our social events were really successful. Joe Connolly was chairman of the 1 hanks- giving Frolic, a unique dance full of novelties and surprises; Bert Kenah and John Smith gave us one of the most profitable Junior Proms in the history of the College, and Harry Purcell put on a Junior Night show that was nothing short of the famous Goldwyn quotation — Collossal.” In closing, it might he well to wish the successors of our lofty positions equal success and profitable careers. We look forward to an equally successful Junior Prom with all its trimmings, just as we look forward to bigger and better things for ourselves in the year to come. To the Class of 39 , who have gone and left us their places, we sincerely wish the best of luck, each and every one; and we hope to accomplish well the duties they are now turning over to us. W e realize fully well our responsibilities and we evoke the Divine Guidance to aid us in this our final undertaking. It seems as though we are taking one deep breath before plunging into our tasks as Seniors, but our zeal, our strength, our faith will pull us through to our goal. As we prepare for the final lap, the last plunge, we think only of our college motto, the tremendous meaning and hope which it carries . . . Hazard Zit Forward’ . . . Onward despite obstacles.

Judge Editor Faculty Advisor Business Manager 1939 GALLEON H AZARD ZIT FORWARD — or to those less informed — onward despite tacles.’ This my friends, happens to he the school motto, and we of the ear Book have adopted it as our very own. But to begin at the beginning. Since 1953 Setonia has been existing without a Year Book. Various classes in the past few years had given thought to publishing a book, but thought never materialized into fact. V ith the arrival of the Class of 59 to the position of Seniors, thought became a reality, a ear Book was to be had, despite all obstacles. It so happens that on a springlike day in late autumn Messrs. Edward McNally and Charles Judge were appointed Editor-in- Chief and Business Manager respectively. Mr. bred Cassidy was appointed by the Rev. James F. Kelly as Faculty Advisor. Immediately they set out to the task of finding a publisher, engraver and photographer to whom this stupendous undertaking could be entrusted. After weeks of diligent searching they selected The Robert W. Kelly Publish- ing Co., Horan Engraving Co. and the White Photographic Establishment, whom they believe are tops in their respective fields. An editorial staff consisting of Paul Jordan, Walter Caulfield, Louis Zimmer, Albert Kolarsick, Gilbert Ronca and John Hill was selected. However, all was not serene as thought. ear Books cost money, and money does not grow on trees. With many possible avenues closed to them, it w T as decided to publish the “ Galleon chiefly on money raised through subscriptions. 73 Returns in patrons ancl advertising were slight. However, through the painstaking and diligent efforts of the Business Manager, Charles Judge, a sufficient amount of money was raised, and the ear Book after careful planning and arranging went to press. It is the wish of the Faculty Advisor, Editor, Business Manager and the entire staff to thank all who cooperated in any way to make this hook a success. We have hoped that our work, though not outstanding, will he a stepping stone to greater and finer hooks, and we feel thrilled at the thought of having attempted to add glory to the already illustrious name of old Setonia.

Father Jarvais, so ahly defined it. The Setonian is nothing more ' ' or less than the current history of Seton Hall, written hy those who are living it.” The Setonian throughout the year has covered all campus activities, social, athletic, and scholastic. Particularly highlighted were the annual track meet, and basketball, fencing, baseball, soccer and swimming events. The Junior Prom and Galleon Ball, two of the year’s most important social functions were extensively publicized. Following the custom of previous years, the changes in the Setonian staff were announced at the annual banquet tendered hy the College. John J. Meade was retained as Editor-in-Chief, while Joseph W. Hanley succeeded John Sharkey, as Business Manager. James Swift and Simon Murray were elevated to the posts of Managing Editor and Associate Editor respectively. Granville Peach received the position, formerly held hy S wift, of News Editor. The Setonian for the first time in its existence is entirely self-sustaining. 1 his goal has been achieved mainly through the contributions of the Alumni Association whose column appears every two weeks, representing a novel departure for the paper. 75 Left to Right: Maurice Scully, President; Thomas Higgins, Secretary; Dominic Passante, Vice-President. THE DRAMATIC SOCIETY President . Vice-President Secretary . Moderators . . Maurice Scully . . Dominic Passante Thomas Higgins Rev. Charles E. Lillis Rev. James A. Carey rl IE Dramatic Society is composed of some fifty members. The aim of the society is to afford each member with that part of play presentation or preparation which particularly appeals to him, whether it be acting, or mecbanical work, such as the care of sets, properties and lighting effects. One of the popular events is the program held before the Christmas holidays. Such offerings as “Rising of the Moon”, “If Shakespeare Lived Today”, and “Submerged” always received student and parent approbation. Most popular and dramatically promising, however is the annual “big” play held in the Spring. Attracting enthusiastic audiences in and about Newark the performances Tommy”, “Jonesy” and the “Perfect Alibi have simultaneously supplied the opportunity for histrionic force and ability. In any appraisal of the society however, the ability and selfless labors of our director, Mr. James A. O Connell, are the keynotes. His continued guidance cannot but be the augury of a more representative and worthwhile Dramatic Society. 76 STUDENT COUNCIL NE of the principles of education is to give students as much power as they can intelligently handle ”. With this philosophy behind it, the student council was organized under the authorization of Dr. James F. Kelley. Now in its third year of functioning as an active body, the Council represents one of the most important student organizations on the campus. The Council Officers are elected by the entire student body in a campaign which is usually full of T.N.T. At the outcome of this year’s fiercely contested election in which a regular voting machine, secured through the efforts of Dr. Howard E. Merity, Faculty Advisor, was used to record votes, Robert V. Sharkey, ’59 was elected President, Joseph Connolly, ’ 40 , Vice-President, John Synan, ’ 41 , Secretary and Frank McCormack, ’ 42 , Treasurer. Each class and recognized club, however, either elects or appoints its own representative without much rivalry. Meetings were held regularly and conducted according to strict Parliamentary Procedure under the capable supervision of Dr. Merity. First Row: J. Reynolds. J. Wallace. J. Synan, J. Connolly, R..

PRE-MEDICAL SEMINAR President Louis Zimmer Vice-President James Canniff Secretary Michael Collito Treasurer John Kavanach THE Pre-Medical Seminar was organized three years ago as an honorary organization, devoted particularly to the interests of the Pre-Medical students. Its purpose is to create and foster in its members a spirit of research and appreciation for subjects which are of predominant interest to the medical profession. In its three years of existence, the Seminar has attained for itself the distinction of being one of the outstanding honorary societies on the campus. It has witnessed its growth from infancy, when its only activity was the presentation of student papers by the members, to its present status as a full fledged Seminar which not only presents students’ papers for its members but also sponsors lectures and motion pictures on various medical topics for the public. 78 PSYCHOLOGY CLUB T HE addition of Rev. Dr. Gregory C. Schramm, O.S.B. to the faculty of Seton Hall, saw the formation of a Psychology Club. The organization, composed chiefly of Seniors, holds monthly meetings in which current psychological problems are discussed. These discussions deal with psychological cases wh ich are encountered on the field trips of the club to the various county and state insane asylums. Here the student has an opportunity to examine first hand, the different types of pathological cases. Books on various phases of psychology are also reported upon and discussed. Experiments are carried on in the laboratory with rats and mice. The primary purpose of the club is to give those students, interested in practical psychological problems, a more intense and extended study than limited class hours permit. First Row: J. Wallace. V.

Smith 41 Secretary Edward Shanahan 4 1 Treasurer John S nax 41 T HE Brownson Debating Society, founded some four years ago and named in honor of Orestes Augustes Brownson, an American Philosopher, and at one time teacher at Seton Hall, has enjoyed an exceedingly successful season. The first debate of the year was with the representatives of the l niversities of London and Wales from which Seton Hall emerged victoriously. Since that intelligent controversy the Varsity has met many of the country’s outstanding Colleges and Uni- versities, bowing but twice in defeat. Among the contests scheduled were, Rutgers, Holy Cross, Fordham, Villanova, City College of New York. St. John’s, Columbia. Manhattan, Newark, John Marshall. Drew, Mulrey Council of Debate, and Georgian Court. Front Row: J. Farley, T. Smith, J. Synan. D. Flanagan. E. Shanahan, H. Fuerslman. S. Murray. Back Row: R. Intermont. J. Leslie, W. Currall, T.

Vincent Gilligan ’39 John Smith ’40 ■ Joseph Gallo ’42 George Dillon ’41 W HEN to all outward appearances the student body of Seton Hall seemed to be Catholic merely in name, rather than in fact, the Knights of Setonia were organized by the Rev. James A. Carey, to instill into the minds of the students a truer and sincerer appreciation of the Catholic Religion. Membership was open to all; the only requirement being, that each individual member attend Mass and receive Holy Communion on a specified day each week. To say that the student body responded nobly, is putting it mildly. So great was the response, that when one of its members, Nicholas Parpan, was at death’s door, the Masses, Communions, and prayers offered in his behalf must have certainly influenced the Almighty to grant their request. Pins were distributed to all active members, and weekly Bulletins were printed and circulated to praise, encourage and reprimand the students. 82 ORCHESTRA l l OOD Evening Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Bill Bedell and his Seton Hall J Collegians serenading you from the new Setonian Casino located in the Purple Hill. Perhaps this may sound a hit on the imaginative side, hut if we investigate the lives of many of the hig time orchestras, we will be surprised to find that they got the first taste of their life’s work, right in College. The orchestra has been in existence for three years, and at present ranks high among the Collegiate hands of the East. It is slowly hut surely gathering a following in and about the Metropolitan area. They say practice makes perfect, and the orchestra certainly gets plenty of that. Also every afternoon the hoys may he found in the gym heating it out . The orchestra supplies the music for most of the college dances, and the student body, always a severe critic, thinks they re tops . Besides dances on the campus they have played at the Georgian Court Concert, Alumni Dance, Montclair Immaculate Prom, the Aloysian Tea Dance, and various church socials. Wouldn’t it be great to have a “Junior Prom” with an orchestra, composed exclu- sively of Setonians. Maybe some day we II see it and we hope that day isn t far away. W. Bedell. A. Casbin, J. Cassidy.

Finnerty Treasurer William Thomas Moderator Rev. Charles E. Lillis |N unity there is strength . And with this spirit the Hi-S Cluh of Seton Hall College was organized. Its membership is made up of the players and managers of the Varsity Basketball team. The purpose of the club is to foster a closer spirit of cooperation, both on and off the basketball court, between the individual and collective members; to give each member an organization through which he may make his wants and neces- sities known to the athletic association, and to provide an open forum for the players to discuss problems among themselves. With all the diversified unions being formed in this day and age, it is a good thing to see one with such a splendid purpose. It is a healthy thing, and helps to prevent those undercurrents of criticism and dissention which do so much to kill the spirit of a team. Our congratulations to the team for their energy, enthusiasm and foresight. 84 CHEMISTRY CLUB President Gilbert E. Ronca ’39 Vice-President John J. Kavanagh 40 Secretary Nathan I. Handelman ’41 Treasurer Joseph A. O’Connor ’42 A T the instigation of Nathan I. Handelman, 41 of Newark, the Chemical Honorary Society was organized on Friday, February 10, 1959. Frederick A. Cassidy, Pro- fessor of Chemistry, accepted the Moderatorship. Meetings were held in the Science Building twice a month on Thursday evenings. Membership in the Society is of two kinds, active and associate. Those upperclass- men who maintain an average of 80% or over in Chemistry are eligible for active member- ship. Active members may participate in the business of the group and may read papers before the Society. Freshman with an average of at least ninety in Chemistry as well as those students, while not taking Chemistry show a sincere interest in the science, may become associate members. Associate members may attend meetings hut can neither take part in the business nor read papers before the organization. First Row: N. Handelman, G. Ronca, Mr. F. Cassidy, Faculty Advisor J.

A HH the hope of increasing their knowledge not only of the language, hut also of the hahits and customs of the Spanish speaking people, a group of Sophomores, early in the first semester, founded a Spanish Cluh, “El Centro Hispanico.” At the first meeting, a constitution was drafted and officers were elected. Re . John J. McNulty, head of the Department of Modern Languages, appointed Mr. L. Louis Lahiaux as Moderator of the club. Mr. Labiaux, having spent considerable time in Latin America, is well versed in the manners of Spanish life. Meetings were held semi-monthly at which members prepared papers and dis- cussed topics of interest. Trips to the Spanish section of New York City were also taken by the club. . . . John A. Byrne .

McNulty, bead of tbe department of modern languages. Under bis most able direction tbe club became an active organization. Several French plays were presented and received witb wide acclaim for tbeir dramatic ability, as well as tbe fluent manner with which the actors spoke the French tongue. Th is year, Mr. Labiaux, a new addition to the Faculty, has acted as moderator. Membership was open to all students of the French language. The purpose of the club is to bring to tbe student’s attention points of interest which could hardly be gathered from a purely formal study of the language. Regular meetings were held and conducted in an informal manner as possible. The official business having been dispensed with, the remainder of the meeting was spent in a study of the customs, language and ideals of the French people. One particular event which proved entertaining as well as enlightening, was an illustrated talk on French Cathedrals and monuments. The meetings were usually con- cluded with the singing of French songs by the entire group. Earlier in the year the Club paid a visit to New York where they dined in a French Cafe, and later attended a French movie. First Row: H. Fuerstman, J. Cestaro, F. Miller. J.

What with concerts at the leading young ladies’ colleges of the East, the popular conception of this traditional College organization seems to he one of all play and no work. Little do most people realize the hard work entailed in the preparation for these concerts. Most of the credit for the excellent work of the Club must naturally go to Professor Nicola Montani. His knowledge of the finer points of music, and his skill in directing are very evident in the renditions of the Club. Rev. Harold J. Dilger, the moderator, must also take a how for his tireless efforts on behalf of the Glee Club. On March 28 th, The Glee Club presented their major endeavor of the Year, the Annual Concert, held at the Newark Art’s School, before a most appreciative audience which included his excellency the Most Reverend Thomas J. Walsh, Archbishop of Newark. Their other engagements included visits to Georgian Court; St. Elizabeth s; New Rochelle and Mt. St. Vincent’s; as well as two coast-to-coast programs over the Columbia and Mutual broadcasting systems. 89 Seated: J. Lyons, P. Leone, P. Finnerty, G. Meyer, Director, W. Naylor, P. Ferreri.

They are the minstrels of Seton Hall on their way to social gatherings of every description, to sing for their supper and a possible dance. Their favorite engagement is a Sodality dance with refreshments included. To Godfrey Meyer goes the glory and praise for his fine directing and arranging. Rev. Harold J. Dilger is the moderator. Three years ago a Double Sextette was formed hut today it has increased, until now, membership in it is the goal of every hoarder at Seton Hall. For the wandering minstrels the crowning event of each year is the annual Spring concert, when they return from their Journeys in foreign lands and sing to a home audience. 90 CHANCEL CHOIR I NCLUDED in any College program must be possibilities for student participation in athletic, cultural, social, and spiritual activities. The significance of the latter in a well rounded program is as obvious as its neglect in too many colleges. 1 he College Choir is hut another tangible and concrete evidence that Seton Hall can not he accused of laxity in its attention to this phase of student activities. The Choir is at the same time a proof of the universality of interests among students at Seton Hall. This is further illustrated and emphasized by the fact that the members of this organization have voluntarily offered their services to the Rev. Harold J. Dilger, moderator. A Choir is a necessary prerequisite to many of the more solemn services of the Catholic Liturgy. And equally essential in the preparation of a Choir in the liturgy is practice. Time and effort in no slight quantities are required to prepare the music and singing for a solemn religious ceremony. The many edifying and inspiring ceremonies for which the College Chapel has been the scene and site are mute and sufficient testimony to the energy and success of this organization. They could not have been produced without the unselfish devotion and efforts of the members. First Row: J. Quinn. J. Wallace. P. Leone, J. Lyons. G. Meyer, Director, W. Naylor, J. Carmody, E.

ALTAR SOCIETY A n HOUT a doubt tbe Altar Society is one of tbe truly unique organizations on the Campus. It is unique in its motto. Instead of tbe usual eidogic pbrases, the Altar Society [roasts of Cursed be he that doth the work of the Lord negligently. (Jeremias. 48 . 10 ). It is unique in purpose. Its membership entails unselfish giving rather than the customary privileges, immunities and benefits of other groups. It is unique in membership dri es. It has none. It woidd appear that membership in this organization would be shunned but this is not the case. Every year a gratifying number enlist in this most worthy cause — the cause of assisting at the religious services. One of the most imposing services in which the Society plays a part, is the Mid- Night Mass held on Christmas day. W ith the Chapel full of parents, and friends, ihe efforts of this society greatly augment the beauty and solemnity of the occasion. Another very impressive ceremony is the Forty Hour Devotion. Throughout the night groups of four, vested in cassocks and surplices, reverently keep vigil before the Most Blessed Sacrament. Membership is composed entirely of resident students, from Seniors to Freshmen. The hours are such that non-resident students could be present only with great inconven- ience. Rev. Harold J. Dilger is moderator of this group which strives to give personal meaning to the phrase “Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam.” 92 PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLUB President Sam Einhorn Vice-President Raymond Studwell Secretary and Treasurer Paul Devone I N order to foster a greater interest in all phases of physical education, a club was organized in January 1939 , under the direction of George E. Miele and Victor J. DiFilippo. Mr. Miele and Mr. DiFilippo are graduates of Panzer College, and Rutgers University respectively, and both have had considerable experience in the field. As the name implies, membership is limited to those students whose interests and ambitions he in physical education and whose scholastic standing warrant admission to the club. Since it is a relatively new department in the College curricula, the club is composed entirely of Sophomores and Freshmen, and at present the total membership numbers fifty. As an incentive to better work, three medals are being offered by the club; the first going to the student who attains the highest grade in the theory taught in the classroom, the second to the student whose work in the gym is of a superior nature, and the thiid to the student w ' ho achieves superiority in both theory and practice combined. Monthly meetings are held and conducted according to parliamentary procedure. A regular feature of these meetings are the showing of moving pictures, and talks by men prominent in the field of physical education. First Row: J. Norlc. A. Gallo. R. Pallette. P. Devone, R.

You have come in glory Setonia Under the White and Blue. QETON HALL has in this past year been officially accepted into the big-time athletic world. The success of her many teams and the completeness and color of her great track meet during the past three years has definitely stamped “Setonia as an athletic power. Lor the success of its athletic program Seton Hall and its student body owe a vote of thanks to Rev. Charles E. Lillis and Rev. James A. Carey, the Athletic Association moderators, and to those fellows who worked so hard as student representatives on the “A. A.’ hoard. It is to them, therefore, that we dedicate this athletic portion of our Galleon. p | Rev. Charles E. Lillis, M.S. Director of Athletics 97 MAJOR SPORTS BASKETBALL BASEBALL FENCING TRACK To Harry Coates our varsity track coach, on this his twenty-fifth anniversary in the coaching field, we, the Class of 39 , offer our congratulations and most sincere wishes for his con- tinued success. PjURING the school year just past Seton Hall teams continued their advance toward athletic supremacy. Our great fencing team achieved their goal hy winning the National Championship. 1 hey have gone through 33 matches during the past two years without meeting defeat. In late March, Doc Cetrulo and his hoys traveled to Chicago and ran rougRsRod over tRe best teams in tRe W est and came Rome witR tRat coveted National title as well as Raving placed one of tReir members, Diaz Cetrulo on tRe American Olympic Team for 1940 .

BASKETBALL THE basketball Pirates of ' Seton Hall swept tbe col- legiate seas tbis year, bringing borne tbe most precious booty tbe Sons of Setonia bave ever amassed, in tbe form of fifteen triumphs in twenty-two sallies. Even before tbe victorious campaign was launched, tbe fierce aspect of chief-officer Ed Sadowski and bis mates struck terror into tbe hearts of our Metroplitan brothers, for most of tbe name teams of tbe area steared clear of Seton Hall for very obvious reasons. Finally, however, a twenty- two game schedule was map- ped out and under commander Honey Russell, tbe swash- buckling sailors from South Orange sailed forth to meet Hudson College and after a fierce bancl-to-band engage- ment, scuttled tbe Knights to tbe tune of 59 to 54 . But here tbe Setonians ran into 100 rough waters, and after dropping a questionable decision to La Salle in the now-famous battle of Philadelphia, our weary cagers were easy targets for an unexpectedly strong barrage that boomed from the big guns of Brooklyn College the follow- ing night. Then followed the most amazing string of wins in the cage history of the Hall. Their pride ruffled by these early setbacks, the Pirates Galleon ranged through the East and North, sinking nine strong foes in succession. Having avenged the Brooklyn massacre to everyone s satisfaction, the men of Russell brushed off American University and Loyola at the Armory, stormed Ithaca, Colgate, Hobart and St. Bonaventure s where they left four victims in their wake in as many nights, routed Scranton in the Tommie s lair and ended up in the old fort beating off a Catholic University in- vasion. It was on this campaign of pillage and plunder that Sadowski, the boldest Buccaneer of all, proved himself the greatest center in these parts. Finally the Setonians ran into an off night at the Collins gymnasium where they lost a close tussle to Hudson College. The streak broken, Seton Hall settled down to a more leisurely pace and polished off the season with five more enemies walking the plank, including our meek little cousins from St. Peter’s on two occasions.

TRACK IN line with the new deal athletic program, the Seton Hall track team has advanced with rapid strides during the past two years. Under the tutelage of the veteran, Harry Coates, the mile relay team as well as several individual performers have turned in many victories over outstanding collegiate rivals. Starting in the fall of 1937-38 the team began turn- ing in victories over New Jersey rivals. Before the indoor season was over the one mile relay team had tra eled to New ' l ork and Boston as well as compet- ing at home, and had numbered among its victims such clubs as Yillanova, Colgate, St. John’s, Mont- clair State Teachers, St. Peter’s and Lafayette. The team made up of Send erak, Sancier, Duffy, Lukis and Sharkey, closed its indoor campaign by annexing the New Jersey State one mile A.A.U. champion- ship as well as the individual three mile champion- ship, won by George Sexton. At the Penn. Relays, a team composed of Tony Lukis, Boh Duffy, George Senderak, and Boh Sharkey, won their divisional championship in 3.24.3. In the The Victor and the Spoils ' Charles Macies KI 102 middle of May the team competed in the minor Metropolitan Championship and although they did not annex the team title they did bring home five individual titles. Duffy scored a double victory, win- ning the 110 hurdles and the 220 lows. Sharkey cracked the record in the quarter to gain this title, the time for the event being 50 seconds flat. Sexton came through with a victory in the 2 mile run and the mile relay of Sanderak, Sancier, Slack and Sharkey completed the day with a 3.25 victory. In June, Duffy won another title in the State A.A.U. 440 yd. hurdles. The 39 indoor season found Seton Hall a respected name in track circles. In every indoor meet, whether in N. Y., Boston, Rhode Island, or Jersey the Hall was pitted against the toughest teams in the country. Despite the competition the team of Duffy, Slack, Sancier and Sharkey downed such clubs as Lafayette, Northeastern U., St. John’s, St. Francis U., Mont- clair State Teachers, Newark Normal and Newark Tech. She was defeated by teams like Boston A. A., Boston College, and Fordham. VARSITY RELAY TEAM Seated: Robert Duffy, Henry Sancier, George Senderak and Robert Sbarkey.

BASEBALL I N the spring of 1937, Albert Mamaux, former major league pitching star and manager of the Newark Bears, was signed hy the Rev. Charles E. Lillis to coach the Setonia nine. It goes without saying that a more capable individual would have been difficult to find. During his short stay at the Hall, Mr. Mamaux has had amazing success es- pecially when the calibre of the opposition is taken into consideration, Manhattan, Long Island, Duke, Fordham, Lafayette, St. John’s and C.C.N.Y. aren t exactly pushovers. His teams have won nineteen while dropping thirteen, six hy the margin of one run. This year Seton Hall is expected to soar to the tops of the baseball world, which fact is readily recognized when one considers the diffi- culty the Athletic Directors are having to arrange a schedule. The big hoys just won’t play us. The team itself, will probably he one of the best ever to represent the Blue and White. Captain Frank Spatuzzi, a veteran of three years will cover the initial sack. The line-up which is expected to carry the brunt of the work for the coming season, includes Welaj, Booth, Davies, and Spatuzzi in the infield, with Gendron, Delaney and Brydon patrolling the outer gardens. The pitching staff will he a veteran one with Joe Connolly, Jack Erickson, Bernie Coyle, Steve Nagy, Buck Rogers and Kenny Pine forming the nucleus. Harry Rowett and John O Sullivan will divide the catching duties. This year’s schedule although not as studded with top-notch opponents as former years, never- theless is one not to he taken too lightly. During the ’39 season Setonia will face C.C.N.Y., Provi- dence, St. John’s, Wagner, St. Peter’s, Manhattan, West Chester Teachers, East Stroudsburg Teach- ers, Ithaca, Trenton Teachers, Brooklyn, Spring- field and N.Y.A.C. 104 FENCING T wo years ago the authorities introduced Fenc- ing to the student body. Within the short space of that two years. Fencing has come to he regarded as one of the major sports of the College. Dr. Gerald I. Cetrulo, former Olympic fencing star and former holder of the National Individual Crown was appointed as Coach. The team, which was composed of Diaz Cetrulo, George Boutsilcaris, Paul Riccardi, Pat Marzulli and Ed Piasecki took the measure of sixteen opponents, without once tasting defeat. It’s string included victories over Dartmouth, Lehigh, Purdue, Yale and Temple. At the close of the regular season the Eastern Intercollegiate Championship was annexed by the team. The start of the 1938-39 season saw the addi- tion of several new faces to the squad, included among whom were Larry Hedges, Ed Lansing, Paul Brienza, Pete Milone and Ed Girardot. The team picked up just where they had left off the previous season and mowed down seventeen straight opponents, running their victory string over a two year span to thirty-three straight. Numbered among its victims were Brown, North Carolina, Syracuse, Lafayette, Dartmouth and Harvard. The most difficult contest which they have en- countered, or perhaps will ever encounter, was the one with Harvard. The result was 14-13 and victory was gained mainly through the efforts of Diaz Cetrulo. In March the team traveled to Hanover to take part once more in the Eastern Fencing Con- ference Championship Meet. Duplicating their feat of the previous year, they swept through all competition, — foils, epee and saber alike. In doing Co-Captains Diaz Cetrulo Paul Riccardi 105 Left Row: P. Riccarcli. P. Milone, E. Lansing. L. Hedges, Coach Cetrulo. Riqht Row: D. Cetrulo, P. Brienza, R. Girardot. G. Boutsilcaris, E. Piasecki. this they amassed the grand total of 101 points and garnered three individual championships. Diaz Cetrulo successfully defend ed his “Class A saher title winning twelve houts and losing none. George Bousikaris won the individual “Class B” saber title, taking ten houts and dropping two. Pat Marzulli was victorious in the “Class C saher contest, winning eleven and losing one hout. As a climax to this most successful trip, George Santelli, coach of the Olympic saber team announced that Diaz Cetrulo was selected as a member of the 1940 Olympic squad. Following their triumph at Hanover, the team traveled to Columbus, Ohio, where the East-West Intercollegiate Fencing Tourney was held at Ohio State University. As usual Seton Hall w-on. It was indeed a notable achievement for the cream of the Midwest fencing crop appeared in the competition at Columbus, Paul Riccardi and Diaz Cetrulo led the Hall to an impressive 7-2 victory over Chicago U. in the foils. Illinois likewise was no match in the saber events and Setonia came through with another 7-2 triumph. Paul Brienza’s 5-4 win in this event not only increased the margin of victory but also supplied the Hall with its fourteenth point which clinched the Meet title. The epee event wound up in a tie between Seton Hall and North- western, and as the result had no bearing on the outcome of the Tournament, the officials decided to let it remain a draw. Diaz Cetrulo won the indi- vidual saber championship of the meet by defeat- ing an Illinois entry 10 - 4 , while Paul Riccardi annexed the foils championship by conquering a member of the Ohio State team 5-4. 106 SOCCER I OR the first time in a number of years, Seton ■ Hall was represented by a Soccer team. George Miele a recent appointee to the faculty, assumed tbe reins of Coach. In the early part of the fall, a call for candidates was issued and approximately twenty men responded; tbe majority of whom never bad played soccer before. With such a limited and inexperienced squad to work with, and handi- capped by tbe lack of a suitable practice site, Mr. Miele must be commended for the splendid manner in which be developed bis team. 1 be line- up for the opening game consisted of George Dil- lon, Steve Nagy, Stan Pisiak, Mike S tanish. Ed Piasecki, George Bonscber, Buck Jordan, lorn Finnegan, Y ito Kemezis, I om l abey, and Harry Rouett. Panzer College, always a power in soccer circles, was tbe first opponent with whom tbe White and Blue bad to contend. After a torrid battle, tbe heavier and more experienced Panzer- ites were held to a 0-0 score by a cocky Setonia crew. I be sparkling defensive play of George Dillon, Setonia goalie, was tbe highlight of the contest. A game with East Stroudsburgh followed, and that likewise ended in a draw, this time to the tune of 2-2. 1 be final encounter of tbe short sea- son, took place against Whst Chester State Teach- ers, with tbe local team bowing to their rivals 2-1. At tbe close of tbe season, three of the local hooters, George Bonscber, Stan Pisiak, and Mike Stanisb were selected on tbe all-opponent team of West Chester Teachers College. Although the play ol tbe past season was not outstanding, it is nevertheless worthy of commendation. What tbe team lacked in experience, it made up in spirit and team play. It is expected that this year s outfit will serve as a forerunner of great soccer teams. Next season Mr. Miele will have a nucleus of experienced men to work with, losing one vet- eran, Vito Kemezis, through graduation. Front Row: H. Rowett, G. Dillon, M. Stanish, J. Smith, B. Jordan, H.

SWIMMING A H1LE the swimming season was rather barren as far as team victories were concerned in- dividual performances did stand out. AI Gallo in his first year at the Hall was the outstanding per- former on the team. Victorious in all but two of the meets, Seton Hall can truly feel proud of this whirlwind of the springboard. George Mongon and Red Wallace, the Senior members of the squad, were members of the relay team which tasted victory frequently. 0 O L F I OR the first time in the school s history a golf team will represent Seton Hall in the athletic world. Mr. John Reitemeier, a former Purdue Uni- versity star, will coach the team. Weather per- mitting, Mr. Reitemeier held regtdar practice at the Valley View Country Club. The team is composed of Captain Jim McDede, Jim Liddy, Phil Madden, and George Harhen. The schedule includes tilts with Boston University, Lafayette University, St. Johns U. and West Chester Teachers College. First Row: J. Florio, R. Hildebrand, P. Madden, J. O’Neil, D. Doyle, G.

TENNIS A BOUT fifteen hopefuls answered Coach Henry Quinns’ call for candidates, with veterans Ed Piasecki, Jim Sullivan, Vic Peccarelli and Dick Dempsey returning from last year s squad. Coach Quinn, a graduate of Seton Hall Prep, is at present a professional at the River Club, in New York. Dur- ing the coming season the team will meet L.I.U., Essex Junior C., Villanova, Newark C. of Eng., Paterson State Teachers, St. Peter’s, Rhode Island State, Savage and Newark State Teachers. FRESHMAN BASKETBALL T HE season just passed produced one of the best Freshman teams that ever wore the school s colors, having notched fourteen out of a possible fifteen victories. Their lone defeat was suffered at the hands of Manhattan Frosh, which setback was avenged at a subsequent meeting. Their vic- tory list includes the Frosh teams of L.I.U., Rider, St. Peter’s, John Marshall and St. John s. Ray Studwell, Ken Pine, Boh Fisher, Bob Holm, and Bob Davies, represented the starting five.
