To those who left the peaceful wavs of books to take on the sterner lessons of war, who with the quiet heroism of those who love ideals have turned to defend thc nation we Iovct we, the 012153 of ,43, dedicate this volume in humble tribute to their courage and the high spirit of their resolve. jorsitan et tjqaec As we prepare this volume, a memorial to our days at Siena, our thoughts are with the men of our Class and our college who are engaged in the armed services of the nation. It cannot be otherwise Most of us shall soon join them. We are proud of the number and the worth of these men who have left behind their college days, to take on them- selves the duty of defense of their country. Youth and jesting proverbially go hand in hand. School days are care-free and, in a land where education is the privilege of the many, our pursuit of learning has not been marked too deeply by pain. Life and Wisdom will etch deeper, we know, with the mordant acid of Experience. But for all their joy, the days of these men at Siena gave them their preparation for life. In these haills they heard again and again that, while life is rich with promises, it is a privilege that bears with it the duty to uphold all those things which make life worth living. Here they, and we, have learned the lessons of the Love of God and of our 01mm Went inisse ya vahit fellowmen, the duty of love and sacrifice for country. And thus in an age that has scoHed at patriotism and belief, where the prevailing fashion has been a careless laugh for tradition, we come with ideals and beliefs. We are proud of them, and anxious to proclaim them. The line that separates youth from manhood is always difficult to dehne, and never more difficult than today, when the happenings of a few minutes may thrust us Closer to the realities of life-and cleath-than years of a peaceful era would sum up for us. We face the future seriously, but without fear. College men of another day may look on us as overly-sentimental here, and reveling in tenuous ideals. But to the history books of the, future we leave the arguments on the futility of the war which we under- take without the full awareness of the causes that later students will define. Let scholars of the future agree on the vast fullness of the battle, on the tactical errors of generals, and on the wasted lives expended to hold him a Huid battle line. In these pages we record a tribute to the few of the vast number of those engaged whom we have known. Nor can we be blamed, for the hands we grasped in casual goodbyes were the hands of our friends. They are the ones woven into the pattern of our living, the ones with whom we have laughed and played, the ones with whom, in unaccustomed solemnity, we have gathered in rooms almost dim with tobacco smoke to discuss all the problems of life that stretch from opin- ions on the worth of orchestra leaders to the questions of destiny and life7s fulhllment. The future reader who absently turns these pages we bid be not too harsh in his judgment on our clays. We have lived them happily, and looked forward hopefully. For inscribed in the saga of our lives we can End the pattern of a pr0phecy and a promise which is the assurance of Godls watching over us. In His Providence we abide and in His Promises we trust. APPROXIMATELY seven centuries ago, amid the turbulence 0f the warring fae- tions of Italy there was born to a noble family of Siena a Child who grew to man- hood and sainthood. This was he whom we know as St. Bernardine. He was born on the eighth of September in the year 1g80. ' i From earliest Childhood he had i111- pressed upon him the transitory nature of earthly values. At the tender age of six he had lost the loving care of fond par ents. Left an orphan he was reared in sympathetic kindness by pious aunts. At twenty-two years of age he disposed of his patrimony and entered the Franciscan Order, the better to obtain eternal treas- ure. To continue the missionary work he had begun, he refused three bishoPries at various times during his saintly life. OF SIENA Pa tron of the College Bernardine took as his shield the Holy Name of Jesus. With it he worked zealously to promote justice and peace among the contending Classes of his day. He urged men to replace the arms of warring parties with the insignia I H S. He advocated the pious and reverential use of the Holy Name as a powerful means of rekindling popular fervor and permanently establishing a peace based on the love of God and fellowman. Peace became his watehword as the Holy Name became his shield. Bernardines death occurred as he trava eled to a distant part of his native land to proclaim the message of peace that he had preached his life long. He died on the eve of the Ascension, the twentieth of May 1444. Six years later he was can- onized by P0pe Nicholas V. ST. BERNARDINE REV. CYPRIAN MENSING O.F.M., PhD. President of the C ollege 111 was in a large measure due to the foresight and initiative of Father Cyprian that Siena survived the first crucial period of establishment and growth. The constant development of the college from its early years is a tribute not only to his abilities as an educator but to his resolute leader- ship as the college President. The honor that Siena has won is a reHection of the great eHorts he has inspired. His quiet dignity, truly Franciscan, is symbolic of the achievement of the institution he heads.. As solicitous for the welfare of those who have left the college as he is diligent in securing for those still under him all that that a college can hope to give, F ather Cy rian typifies the sort of leader that the Church of Rome gives her Chifdren when a great work is to be done.

With typical fresh- man foolhardiness, however, many of 11s disregarded the rules . . . thus we have memories of community sings, 1which 1111' covered some outstanding material to be shunned by the Glee Club1, all 111al 1itterbug c011tests,swims and 2Mr 42, hung clehantly over the upperclassmens entrance. We can all forget his burial. Then came elections; the results were ana 1101111Ced at the smoker held 111 our honor at the K. of C. 111 Albany. The initial leaders of our class were Iames VVhalen, Dean Brackley, Ioseph Reilly, and Henry Gabriels . . . Remember the Erst open house at N ew111a11 Hall-many of us found dates there . . . We held our Erst dance 011 November 22, at the Hendrick Hudson with Gus Metro providing the music . . . Never shall we forget those basketball games played at LaSalle Institute gymna- sium . . . W 1th our loss of the Freshman Sophomore basketball game and the 00111 tinued Violation Of the Freshman Rules came the establishment of a court wherein misdemeanors and felonies among the freshmen were tried before a Sophomore 111dge and 111rV;3111131e punishment was provided. .VVe freshman were well represented 011 the All- Siena football team bV Donald Bulger and William Nolan .Many of 11s spent a glorious Christ- mas vacation in New York listening to the Song of Siena as composed and written for our school by Fred Waring . After the New Year was cheered 111, we were confronted by mid-year exams- who can forget those shaking knees, wor- ried frowns and fearful apprehensions. .But we weathered them somehow and began to e11101 0111 11e11 luxurywthe cafe- teria. Also during this Vear we saw our old recreation room 111 the left wing dis- appear, but not before Allan Clarke de- feated Robert Flanagan for the ChampiOIP ship of the ping-pong tournament . . . On April 1;, we held our second dance, also a sports hop, at the Aurania Club with rhythm provided by Paul Parker . . . With Iack Pennock, James Whalen, and Harry Coughlin leading the way, our frosh base ketball team won six and lost seven games against stilt competition . . .

And so 011 to 1940-41 . . . When the hunted became the hunter. This year, it was our grimly pleasant duty to haze the freshmen, which we did eHectively. Lead- ing us were our olhcers,Willian1 Nolan, W ill1an1 McDermott, Harry Coughlin: Thomas Pendergast, and 11111 Guthinger .Micl October saw the beginning of the construct1on of our gy11111as1un1, des- tined to be one of the most outstanding buildings of its kind 111 the Capital Dise trict . . . Couscription . . . Recall the lightness with which we took the new law? Little did we real1ze so many of us would be called before graduation . . . In this year, before the completion of our gynr nasium, Siena was still forced to hold its dances off the campus. Our class chose the Edison Club 111 Schenectady for our first sport dance of the year. The dance was a social and-wonder of wonders-a Enancial success. Later 011 in the term Wallace Clarke,bel1eving 111 variety, broke his hand The previous year it was his leg And suddenly mid semester examina- tions were upon us F ather Anselm Krieg- er stunned us 111 his American Civilization exan1111at1011,by giving us the answers and asking us for the questions-all of which received 110 small notoriety. The 1941 15 social season was ushered in by our Soph- omore Soiree 111 a panorama of color at the beautiful Club Ed g,ewoocl we danced to the famed music of Iohnhy Messner and his orchestra. This dance was not 0an a Emancial success tan oddity for forn1als1, but a huge success socially which will long live 111 our memories. With March,can1e a blizzard which cov- ered the campus 111 a blanket of white. Ioe Graziano got off the beam 011 his way to Siena Hall and turned into the school driveway 100 feet before he got to it, losing himself and his car 111 the snow That month also brought a most regret- atble accident, which saddened many Siena men. For 011 March 14, a favorite rendez- vous of ours, the Club Edgewood, where only a month before we had held our Soiree, was utterly destroyed by fire . . . Early 111 the spring the classes of Dr. Ale bert Uilenheimer, which had always conr bined the wisdom of a scholar of note, and the dignity of great simplicity, sud- denly terminated, for 011 April 2g, the be- loved Professor died . . . The athletic su- periority of our class was clearly evidenced when we captured the interclass track meet at Bleecker Stadium 011 May 14 . . . Cra111n1111g once again for exams, we somehow survived the Hpurge, and after a summer of work for some, ease for oth- ers, we entered our Junior year . . . 1941-42 . . . This year was one of the Good Morning! 3 7 14 darkest and most trying of our college career for it saw our country at war . . . Full of pride in being 111111013 we began this year with Kenneth Borden as our class presiydent We had the pleasure of presenting the first dance of the social season as well as the honor of being the first to hold a dance in the gymnasium. The dance, entitled liThe Harvest Ball, was held October 10, 1941, with Sammy Vincent providing the 111113ic.Over 200 0011 31es attended and evervone had a wonderful time . . The Siena Dramatic Society presented a highly successful c0111 edy entitled The Bishop Misbehaves Then December 7, 1941!

It was during this semester ltHooker Mc- Laughlin developed his famous tione- handerfy The rapidly progressing Dra- matic Society put forth its finest effort when it staged a striking and vivid pro- duction of Gregory Neville D0wsett7s passion play, The Betrayal? Our Junior Prom was probably the most successful dance held during the year. 111 the set ting of a ship is deck we danced to the music of T011Pm1y Reynolds For the Erst time a queen reigned over the Iunior Prom, St. Roses gramous and beautiful Pat Howley. Too much credit cannot be given to the chairman of the dance, Den- 1113 Brennan . Exams again were ape proaching, and that empty feeling 111 one s stomach again was experie11ced.H0wever again most of us survived, and after wit- nessing the Erst wartime commencement exercises of our school, we said goodby to our friends and returned to our homes. gun mm This group of Seniors is responsible for this edition. . timc 1. awn. .M.1awm.. 16 Many of our Class immediately left Siena to don the uniform of our country, Dennis Brennan, the presiclent-elect of our Class among them . . . 1942-43 . . . Those of us who returned for the senior year were eager to earn our degree in the shortest possible time, and welcomed the acceleration program. This year our oHicers were Dean Brackley, Thomas Devine, Theodore Nahow, Ecl- ward Ryan and Sam Raab . . . The uTen Dollar Plan was accepted by the college, climaxing the untiring efforts of Gerry Smith . . . The reserves were established at Siena as in most of the colleges of the country. Nearly every member of our class joined the Army, Navy or Marine Reserve. Remember those rumors con- cerning the calling up of the reserves? Early in the year we elected Ed Malone eclitor-inachief of our year book. Appoint- ing his staft, he began the very consider able task of planning and readying for publication this beautiful book . . . The Dramatic Society presented iiRoom Serv- icef, one of the best plays which the So Ciety has produced to date . . .

December exams over, we commenced our Enal semester, looking forward to be- ing called to active duty by our respective branches of the service, yet wishing to be present for graduation exercises. The last dance we held before this book was pub- lished was a sport dance. Most of the Class attended, coming either by foot, taxi or bus. In Spite of the many difhculties, the dance was a huge success. Realizing that after graduation the members of our Class would be sent to battle areas all over the world, and that many of us would never see one another again, we held seva eral informal get-to-gethers. These gatha erings made for great good fellowship, and helped to engrave in our memories the faces of those who walked with us through the varied scenes of the great drama that is college life. Now that we are about to graduate, we cannot help but feel sadness mingled with happiness. We realize that our undergraduate days at Siena have been the happiest and most constructive of our life. As we leave Siena we know that she will live on, in fact, and in our hearts, awaiting our return at some future date, for a reunion with the meme bers of our class. XVith pride we shall carry Sienals name into every part of the world. 17 18 1. DEAN BRACKLEY Cohoes, N. Y.

We have1ft quite figured out what Dons future is to be, but he has cer- tainly been doing more than lounging in the electricity lab. And to think that only a year ago we had him tabbed as an artist. Maybe his ambitious nature has led him to strive towards perfection in many fields. Seriously, we do know that his perseverance will make him successful in whatever line he Chooses.

For the first time, Siena had a full complement of Classes. We were very definitely at the bottom of the heap. Not for long, however. Following the Siena tradition that demands a Freshman class to revolt, we promptly began opera tions to overthrow the Sophomore rule. We do not Claim to have vanquished the present Seniorse that would constitute lese nrajesty-but we do insist that they were willing to forget all about Freshman hazing after a week of the uprising. Having successfully settled the Class problem at Siena, we picked our Erst set of Class oihcers. Bill VVolven was the president, Ed Anderson, the vice-presi- dent, the treasurers post went to Jack F lanigan, Frank Kelly was named secre- tary, and John Dingman was the His- torian. The big item on our social calendar the Erst year was the Frosh Sport Dance, which took place just before Lent in a local hotel, featuring the music of Paul Parker. The dance was scheduled for two or three diiterent dates, and the Changes brought the wrath of the Siena News down on the Senate for permitting so many Changes. Since the dance was Enally a success, no one minded too much. W hen we returned to Siena in Septem- ber of 1941, we were determined to put in a strict regime, and make the Frosh toe the line. Bill VVoiven had been re-elected for a second term, and he immediately ape pointed a strong hazing committee, which held the Frosh in subjugation. 'The traditional revolt of the Frosh came and went, leaving the Sophs still on top, albeit not so strongly as before. Fresh- men James MCGirr had the unusual dis- tinction of being the first to be dunked in the campus pond, when he refused to see the light. In November, we helped get the social season going with the Soph Sport Dance, with Bob Reid providing the music. The month was also highlighted by the per- formance of Sopho- mores Thomas Looe by, W illiam Walsh, Francis Koetzel, and Terence Tan- ney in the Dramatic Society,s produce tion of The Bishop Misbehaves. The Class of 1944 was ready and willing to serve when Dec. 7 hit the campus. Several members of the Class left school im- mediately for active duty, and the rest buckled down to some intensive study before actual military duty. Dec. 12 will also go down. in Siena history as the night when Sophs Vic Mastriani, Doug Childs, Bill VVolven, and Dick Bednarkiewicz sparked the Indians to a Close victory over the highly touted Villanova team. NVorries about the Seph Soiree began in February when it became evident that the dance could not be held before the Lenten season began. When graduation day was moved up to May 20, coechair- men Hugh and Robert Walsh really be gan to worry. i However, the Dramatic Society moved back into the spotlight to dim the Soiree troubles temporarily, this time with a Passion Play, uThe Betrayal. Members of the Class of ,44 had important parts. Those in the play included: William Walsh, Terence Tanney, Edward Smith, Patrick Angereme, Thomas Looby, Ioseph Testo, Joseph Zavisky, James Ryan, VVil- liam Pugliese, Robert Rehfuss, Robert Walsh, John Tinipane, Joseph Reynolds, and Ioseph Riley. The Soiree problem was Enally settled, when it was combined with the Com- inencenient Ball, and set for the night of May 20. The newly-graduated Seniors Fr. Edward McGuire Class Moderator 57 were our guests, and Mal Hallett provided the listenable and danceable music for the large crowd. We opened the current Junior Year with a new set of oihcers. Iohn Cenci was elected class president, Robert Walsh became vice-president, Frank DeRossi was voted treasurer, Robert Owens won the secretaryls job, and John Dingman was named historian when the original elec- tee, James Shields left school. Two members of the Class gained Stu- dent Senate positions when Joseph Testo was elected Treasurer, and Victor Mase triani was named Secretary. Another member of the class entered the Senate when John Dingman took the post of Press Representative after being named editor of the Siena News. Honor of having the first dance under the Social Cooperative, 0r llTen Dollar, Plan, went to the Class when we presented a sport dance in October. What the future will bring, we cannot know. The Junior Prom, traditionally the best dance of the year, is in the dim dis tance. We do no know how many IHCIH- bers of the class will be present when that date arrives. Many are already in the armed services; many more expect to leave soon, perhaps before this year book is published. Only one thing is clear before us. This is our fight, and we of ,44 are in it all the way. Officers: De Rossi, Walsh, Coyle, Cenci and Gerard Sophomore Class Class of? 1,5 ALTHOUGH last year the Sophomores were newcomers to Siena-mere Fresh- inen-their accomplishments, socially and scholastically, were many. On September 2, 1o42, they returned with resolves to make their second collegiate year superior to the first. As Sophomores they went on to new conquests, desirous of being re- membered among the outstanding Classes in Sienas history. Under the leadership of uKayo VVnop owski, Joseph Smith, and itMoe Gal- lagher, the year started with the Nhazing ot the Freshmen. Revenge for all the in- juries suffered when they were Frosh was sweet, and little mercy was granted in inflicting punishments on the yearlings. Every day at noon-time the Freshmen were gathered at the rear of Siena Hall to receive the orders of the Sophomores. Then there was that expedition to the campus of St. Rose. Some of the more rebellious Freshmen were commandeered and removed to the College of St. Rose where they were made to perform for the girls. Then it arrived, the night for which everyone waited, the night of the Sopho- more Soiree, undoubtedly one of the most important dances of Sienas social year. The deep glow of dimmed lamps tilled Gibbons Hall, highlighting the warm cola ors of the autumn-inspired decorations. Charles Triller could well be proud for his committee did a commendable piece of work in decorating the gymnasium. Johnny McGees muted trumpet and his Orchestra had the dancers swaying rhythmically in time with their music. The Soiree was the First formal dance held under the new social CO-operative plan, and it was a complete success. Much of the credit for the dances success can be attributed to the industriOuS eHorts 0f the various committees and particularly to the committee chairman, Casimir W norowa ski. At the Soiree a new feature was in- augurated; the patriotic touch was added to the dance by a unifornrcorsage of war stamps which was presented to each girl at the door. At the end of the evening no one could have complained of not eniov ing the dance. I Outstanding 0n the years social cala enclar was the SOPhomore Sport Dance. Because of the gasoline shortage, plans had to be arranged to hold the dance someplace which would be convenient to the majority of students. The Hendrick Hudson Hotel in Troy was selected as the most suitable spot, and on Saturday, February 19, the place was thronged with Siena students dancing to the music of Lou Cuornois superb band. Committee members in Charge of arrangements were: lames Gallagher, Ierry Gavin, Charles Triller, Francis Flood, James Hopkins, Don Connelly, Casimir VVnorowski, Thomas Connell, Peter Verdicchio, An- thony Passaretti, and Edward Couch. Smokers were in order, too. During the vear the Sophomores sponsored a Fresh- man Smoker, and held one of their own. The Soph Smoker was held in Albany; motion pictures, speeches, singing, re- freshments, and an all-rouncl good time were part of the program. Nor did the Sophomores confine their industry only to undertakings of the Class Of 74;. Active in the Dramatic Society, for example, were many Sophomores: Robert Sheehan, Conrad Gander, James Hopkins, Richard Callahan, Joseph Riley, loseph Hammer, Frank Touhey,-Ioseph Byron. At the basketball games, the Sopha omores were well represented, both on the court and in the bleachers. In athletics, the SOPhomore class ex- celled. Everyone will remember such out standing basketball stars as Frank Renzi, Cas Wnorowski, James Gallagher, James Pigott, Donald Connelly, and Tom Con- nell, all members of the Class of 74;. Many Sophomores were prominent, too, in the Intramural leagues, and on the lunior Varsity squad. And every day the weather permitted, Dave Sauter, Robert Sheehan, Gordon Hines, and a few of the other boys could always be seen out in back of the school playing football. The spiritual side, too, was not nega lected. Throughout the year Masses were said for the Siena students serving with the armed forces, providing them with spiritual ammunition, an essential complement needed to attain ultimate victory. DesPite the many happy incidents dur- ing the year, a shade of sadness was al- 59 ways present. The absence of many class- mates was heartfelt, and it seemed as if every week increased the numbers who entered the armed services. A closer kirr ship developed among the ones who were left. Perhaps everyone realized that this would more than probably be his last year before going to war, and, for this reason, they all wanted to make it a year to remember. Well, they did just that; a year so Elled with notable achievements cannot be forgotten very soon. N0 small part of the credit for the many successes of the Sophomore class goes to the Class Moderator, the Rev. Richard E. Molnar. His ever-present ase sistance in the organizing and carrying out of the years program proved welcome and necessary at all times. Now, in retrospect the cramming for examinations, the black list, the ex- hausting Commando course, the gradual shifting of the students into the armed forces, all fade into a composite, a many- faceted memory of a college year in war- time. Next year when the Class Of ,4; re turns, their numbers will be greatly les- sened, but in the hearts of all not pres ent, will be the memory of a full and a happy Sophomore year. Those who do return to Siena will cherish the thought of this year, and undoubtedly will main- tain a similar record during their Iunior Year. Officers: Connelly, Gallagher and Connell Freshman Class Class of 26 wHE opening of the 1942 Fall session witnessed great activity in Siena College. We of the Class of 1946 were obliged to test our wits against the aggression of the VVnorowski hazing committee on the very day we came. W ith a determination to show who was boss, the Sophomores ema ployed blitzkrieg methods to humble us, and crack our alleged conceit. Submit- ting to a temporary surrender of our shoes and walking comfort, we marched down a rough highway of crushed stone, through 3 held, to a murky morass which the Sophomores informed us was a swim- ming pool. Here, in order to pacify the aggressors, sonie half-willing Frosh jumpa ed in, only to be halted abruptly by an unyielding rock bottom, covered with a few inches of scarcelv translucent water. Then, unprepared and unwilling, we were compelled to trudge our way back to the campus on sore and achingr feet. Upon our return we discovered that each of our shoes had been tied with someone elseis. And all this happened to us on empty stomachs. After lunch all went home fatigued, but planning a way to overcome this upperclass tyranny. Last yeafs Frosh had steadfastly inailr tained that the hazing rules would really be enforced upon the next incoming class. But time would disprove that pre- diction; we Frosh prudently decided that oftensive measures would only prove dis- asterous, and adopted a strict policy of passive resistance. The results were most gratifying. Well before the date which was to mark the cessation of hazing, the Sophomores were no longer able to derive pleasure from their reign of terror, and halted their unsuccessful tactics. The initiates were free to walk the campus with neither dinks nor the overesized matches demanded by the rules. We were able to act without fear, and were allowed to follow our own plans. a The Reverend John Weaver, O.F.M., was appointed Moderator of our class and soon began to effect the consolidation of the Frosh. A Mass was celebrated for the entire class on Co tober 1 g. Shortly afa ter, elections were held which brought Harley Triller to the c l a s 5 Presidential seat, to be assisted by Royal Cibbo as Vice-president, James Shields, Sec- retary, and George Sokol, Treasurer. Our oHicerS, with Father Iolnfs coun- sel, at once drafted plans for the first Freshman social of the year, a smoker, which was held on the Tuesday follow- ing elections. At this very successful event the oHicers were installed, and members of the fac- ulty delivered talks on school spirit and kindred subjects. Of special importance was the advice given the Class of ,46 by the Very Reverend Cyprian Mensing, O.F.M., President of the college. The smoker aided considerably in acquainting the members of the class with each other, and with the varied aSpects of the college life they had just begun. Subsequently many of the class joined one or more of the numerous extracurricular activities, such as the Glee Club, the Debating So ciety, the History Club, and various ath- letic teams. The Class of 46 was represented in the Debating Society by George Lettko, Norbert MeManus and George Englert. Inst before the Christmas holidays Lettko and McManus represented the Junior di- vision of the Society at R.P.l., where they participated in a spirited discussion of the question of a Federal World Union after the war. A number of frosh won positions on the Iunior Varsity Basketball team. Amidst all these college interests and activities there pervaded one central theme, which brought the object of col- Fr. john Weaver Frosb Moderator 61 lege life directly before our sight, and tended to animate it and give it direction. The war and our relation to it is of such supreme importance and universal promi- nence that it shadowed our whole exis- tence. There was an ever increasing en- listment in the reserves on the part of the Freshmen, and a small percentage an- swered the Country7s call by direct en- listment. As time went on we who were still in college were confronted with the probability of induction into the armed forces. Facing the insecurity of the fu- ture, the Freshman class determined to make the most of the time yet remaining. The guidance and advice of our Reverend Fathers and lay Professors deserves no little credit for the development of this spirit. ' In our eHort to follow this practical resolution we still had time for the lighter side of college life. Not long after the smoker, our class sponsored a hay-ride. About the same time plans were being formulated for a Frosh dance to be held in the second semester. In conclusion the Class would like to point out that one of the most valuable lessons, aside from academic work, that is to be learned from the Erst year at Siena, is the lasting value of showing courtesy to all, cooperating in college ac tivities, showing respect for the Reverend and lay Professors, and diligence in all one undertakes.

The results were all one could ask for: music, gifts, humor, and a tree ablaze with colored lights; evidence for all that we of Siena fondly and de- votedly believe in the ancient chant of the angels: liPeace on Earth to Men of Good XVillfy With the opening of the second see mester the Owls decided to set a prece- dent for all those to follow. This was the purchasing of two Efty dollar U. S. War Bonds-one for the class of ,42 and one for the class of 743. The purpose was to start a fund for an Evening Student Memorial to be placed within the mon- astery when that building becomes a reality. And just about here the yearbook edi- tor began pressing us for this article, and so it is here that the account of Sigma Omega activities must close with sp ecial good wishes to the members of theP Evee ning Division who will go on moulding a tradition at Siena. 66 Student Senate: Bottom row, Vice-Presia'ent Lombardi, President Coughlin Secre- tary Mastriani, Senator Morrison.

Absent for photo, Triller. $ualent Senate GBNE of the most valuable student or- ganizations to every undergraduate is the Student Senate. Foremost among its serv- ices are its coordination of extracurricular activities, and its constant vigilance in safeguarding the privileges of the student body. The governing function of the Sen- ate secures Closer cooperation among the students and their various clubs and socie eties. It is this body which gives Enal expression to student requests for all social functions, assigns the time and place at which they are to be held, and limits the expenses involved. This year, with the adoption of the Social Cooperative Plan, added powers were given the Senate. It now regulates the allottment 0f the funds raised by the Plan. Under this system to each student the cost of all social functions is reduced about one half. Moreover the possibility of tinaiicial failure of any activities in- chided within the scope of the plan is entirely eliminated. Under the leadership of its present President, Harry Coughlin, the group has developed into a smoothly functioning body. The discretion they used in the EnanCial administration of the Social C0- Operative Plan is an outstanding example of the fairness that has been shown to all classes and student organizations. The Senate is an indispensable organization. Without it, Siena,s extracurricular activi- ties could not have achieved the success all have enjoyed. Dingman and Morrison Editor-in-Clyicf and Day Editor of NEWS jlze .Syiena WQWS EH13 Sieiia News was founded in 19g8 by Don Gilleii and Bill Tompkins with a total capital of slightly under $20. It ap peared first as a mimeographed paper, called the CHEVALIER. Later in the year, it was transformed into a printed paper, and assumed its present name, The Siena News. Since the first mimeographed edition, the Siena News has undergone several Changes, all of which were moves toward a respectable college newspaper. A year after its inception, the paper was increased to six pages; it was then published bia weekly. Using as its slogan, Newspaper of Americas Youngest College, the News was recognized in collegiate news- paper Circles and accepted into the Inter- collegiate Newspaper Association in iggg. The resignation of Cilleii and Tomp- kins gave the editorship to James Mur- ray. During Murrayk regime the edition underwent many Changes, his purpose be ing to produce a more streamlined paper. His policies were continued by the suc- ceeding editors, Philip Hollis and Edward Malone. To keep in cadence with the rapid growth of this college, Malone, Class of '43, revised the slogan to read, iiNews- paper of Americas Fastest Growing Cola lege. Malone resigned the position 6f News Editor in the fall of ,42 to head the stait of Saga. The vacancy was tilled by Iohn Dingnian who emphasized means which madet the weekly easier reading. Just be- fore the yearbook went to press, Dingman was inducted into service and James Mor- rison, Class of 74g, became the seventh editor. The paper is entirely student produce 1, though under the direction of a facultv moderator. At present, Prof. Ierome W ala ton is the moderator. He succeeds Frs. Paschal Kerwin and Terence I.Rey1101ds. The editorial staFt receives technical in- struction and advice from Mr. James Doran, 0f the Knickerbocker News, Al, bany, N. Y. The Sieiia News is graduallv becoming one of the better student newspapers in this area, and plans for post-war CXpalL sion are being made. NEWS Stall?t Checking Copy for Weekly Issue :g r.

Elections follow- ed three days later: Henry Friedman, President; William Dugan, Vice-Presi- dent; Iames MCLane, Corresponding Secretary; Monroe Rosenthal, Recording Secretary; George Feil, Treasurer and Fr. Fintan Crowley, Moderator. The members of the Club chose for its theme, iiVeritas Vincit, Truth Conquers? Under this slogan, the Club prepared it- self for immediate action. There followed for the 1941-42 program a varied series of educational and interesting meetings. This may be judged from the high-spots taken from the minutes Of the Club. October 22, 1941: Fr.

History Club and Moderator Debating Society sz'cers and Moderator: Morrison, Kerbelis, De Myer, and Fr. josepla Vzmn. $ebating Society a HE Siena Debating Society exists in the conviction that a college man, to make full use of his special training, must be articulate; that by debating he puts his education to the stern test of use, that, meeting his intercollegiate peers in the friendly contention of debate, he most Eneiy shapes and tempers his powers into , an effective and personalized instrument competent for the business of life, and essential for the working of democracy; that by debating he puts the finishingI touches to his education as a man and as a Citizen. In this belief the Society contemplates a schedule of intercollegiate debates this year despite the mounting and restrictive difhculties of war time. Fr. Joseph Vann is Moderator of the group; William De- Myer is President; Edward Manning, Vice-President; James Morrison, Secre- tary; Stanley Kerbehs, Treasurer. Since mbst of Sienais intercollegiate de- bates are held in the second semester, the early' date of publication of the yearbook precludes the possibility of describing this years record. However, if the achieve- ments of the past may be considered sig nificant, the future should see the steady growth and development of the Debating Society. For not only does it possess a commendable list of victories in intercol- legiate debate, but, beginning two years ago, it has been an important part of the Societyhs policy to prepare speakers, in- dividually, or in teams, to appear before fraternal, civic, and religious organizations and lecture upon one of a number of va rious cultural, political, or religious topics This emminently practical aspect of the Debating Society,s program provides an excellent training ground for the college student seriously interested in perfecting his own oratorical ability, and has proved a most valuable adjunct to the regular schedule of formal debates. These appearances on the program of the Speakefs Bureau, as well as participa tion in the regular intercollegiate debates are taken into consideration when deter mining the eligibility of members to re- ceive the key of the Society. The keys are awarded to members in their junior and senior years at the end of each debata ing season, and are the outward testimony of proven forensic ability. Group of Ium'Or Members with Moderator Cast of tlaix yearts production, Room Servicet, 72 ibramatics EH13 Siena College Dramatic Society gave its Erst performance on the new stage of Gibbons Hall in November, 1941. The production, The Bish0p Misbehaves, by Frederick Jackson, received high praise from local critics. From the beginning the Society has stressed communal actia Vity in dramatics. Students, under faculty direction, have equipped the stage, plan ned and built the scenery, arranged the details of production, and have under taken as well the acting parts in the plays. The results have shown the high value of such varied student activity. The second production was in Lent of 1942 when the Society produced The Betrayal, a Passion Play, by George Ne- . ville Dowsett, O.M.I. The enthusiasm with which the play was received resulted in the decision that the play be produced each Lenten season by the Society. The Passion Play was televised from Station VVRGB in Schenectady. This was the Erst time that a Passion Play had been televised. In the fall of 1942 the modern light comedy Room Service by Murray and Boretz was staged. As in previous produca tions members of Shadows from the Col- lege of St. Rose acted in the female roles. The Society repeated Dowsettis Pasa sion Play, The Betrayal, during Lent of 194;. The play was so graciously received that the Society decided to make it an annual production. Shadows again pro- vided the feminine parts in the play. In January, 1942, the Society took the name Coventry Players. The original Cov- entry Players was a medieval group who, under the direction of the Franciscan F riars, produced a cycle of religious plays in England. Since its inception the Society has been under the direction of Rev. Terence I. Reynolds, OFM. The Assistant Director is Rev. Thomas I. Giblin, O.F.M. The first production manager was Alfred Bou- chard. The present production manager and the Erst President of the Coventrv Players is Hugh Learnan. i Chemistry CluA EHE Berthold Schwartz Chemistry Club, named after the noted Franciscan Cheni- ist, affords an opportunity for the students of chemistry of Siena College to become better acquainted, to secure the intellectw al stimulation that arises from professional association, to secure experience in pre paring and presenting technical material before chemical audiences, to obtain a better understanding and appreciation of industrial chemistry by actually observing applications of theory to the same, to foster a professional spirit among the members, and to instill a professional pride in chemistry. The club was organized by the Rev. Benjamin Kuhn, O.F.M., in the fall of Chemistry Oficers: Pemriclz, Cleary, Mr. Humpbreys, Moderator; Le Loup and Davina. Chemistry Society 19g8, at which time he was a member of the chemistry department. A small amount of his class time, each week, was devoted to meetings in which the mem- bers presented papers on chemical topics. The following year the club expanded and made all chemistry students in good standing eligible for membership. Fr. Benjamin resigned the moderatorship be- cause of the increasing demands upon his teaching time by the mathematics de- partment. Mr. Glenn Humphreys then became moderator, which position he still holds. In the past, the clubs activities have included guest speakers, student speakers, motion pictures on various chemical sub- jects, and trips to many local industrial phnm. Probably the activity which is of the most value and most interest to the group is the annual six-hour tour through the General Electric Plant at Schenectady. A great store of chemical knowledge can be acquired there. 73 74 Music J46 tivities GDNE night last year during the Holy Season of Lent, a crowd of spectators sat in Gibbons Hall awaiting the hrst Cnrtain of a drama of the Passion Of Christ. As the house lights slowly dimmed, the nmr- mer Ofsthc audience was stilled by the music of a group of male voices, intoning a solemn Chant from the liturgy Of Passion Week. The voices were those of members of the Siena Glee Club, gathered before the microphone in the Music Room; from there this musical background was carried over the public address system to loud- Speakers placed over the stage. Thus did the Music Department lend its talents to the production of the Siena Passion Play. The Music Room, from which emin- atcd this effective setting, as well as the Fr. Raymond at fbe Hammond organ interludes and other musical fea- tures of events held in Gibbons Hall, is located in the north wing of that builcle ing. This large room is completely mod- em in its equipment, thoroughly sound- proof, and furnished with all the things necessary to fully augment the college music course. The Music Department is fortunate in possessing a Ene Hammond Organ, a recording machine, a large radio and phonograph combination, and an elaborate builtein public address system, in addition to the usual orchestral lllSlIrLI- ments found in most music departments. The asPirations of music students at Siena are more than encouraged not only by the presence of capable and willing professors, but also by the many mechan- ical and technical facilities made available to them.

The schedule of the In- dians has branched out in these four years from merely a local schedule to include the area covered by New York, New Eng- land and as far south as West Virginia. For a young team facing tremendous odds in an attempt to get its name in the inter, collegiate basketball world, the Siena Col- lege Indians have overcome these odds and are well on their way to making our college a name in the college basketball world. With Coach Hank Bunowski called to the colors, the Athletic Department se- cured the services of a capable new coach with a Ene record to take over the helm at Siena and guide our quintets to Victory. Coach Dan Cunha was a wise Choice to till the vacated post for he rounded out a team from local talent that was plenty hard to beat, even by the best. Coach Cunha worked hard and long with his charges for the tough schedule that lie ahead but after the first game, the student body could see that he had molded a ball club that was extremely worth displaying the colors of the Green and Gold to the intercollegiate world. The Indians Opened their campaign against the Oneonta State Teachers Cola lege Red Raiders and easily took their measure to the tune of 5937. Playing heads up ball and using a fast break the Indians icompletely bathed the visitors, starting with an early lead which was never lost. With Dick Bednarkiewicz lead- Vic Mastriani ' Kayott Wnorowski ing the way, Tucker, Mastriani, W olven arid Magin scored seva en held baskets and three foul shots to lead the Red Raiders 17-2 at the first quarter mark. The second team was sent in shortly thereafter and at half- time the Oneonta quintet had Closed the gap to 26-17. At the end of the third stanza, how- ever, the Indians had piled up 48 points and during the last quarter the second and third string teams drove the score to Sierras history and her followers were to see plenty of good base ketball . before the campaign was to draw to a Close. Fighting a hard fought C011- test against a strong Paterson Teachers quintet, the Siena eagers emerged from their sece 0nd encounter of the young sea- son with a close 41-g7 win. The teams were deadlocked Eve times during the contest and the score was never more than Eve points apart. The big game of the season arrived on Decem- the final gQ-g7. It was a great start for the best season in ber 12, 1941, against the highly Don Connelly eeckuckn Hurley, Captain Walt Pryzbylo A ., ,. t w regarded Villanova Wildcats and it turned out to be a contest that will long be re- membered. It not only was the hrst time that the Indians had tackled a name Club but it resulted in the prestige of Siena, as a basketball school, being doubled. From the standpoint of the spectator, this was the kind of a ball game to watch. The two clubs fought toe to toe for the entire ball game, the lead see-sawing back and forth, resulting in a thrilling victory for the In- dians, 37-34. Dick Bednarkiewicz con- tinued his leading ways by again being the bigr gun in the Siena attack, ringing up a total of 19 points. Hartwick College next fell before the onslaught of the high Hying Mohawks, 39-28, and the final game of 80 the year 1941 found the Indians taking their Efth straight win over the Davis- Elkins team from West Virginia, 34-21. The Friars of Providence College next emerged victorious over the Siena basket- ball team. Providence walked off the floor with the score in their favor, 43-30. The varsity quintet next went on the road to tackle the St. Francis Terriers of Brook- lyn but were forced to return with their second loss of the season, the score read- ing, 47-32. Siena dropped their third straight contest to a well balanced club from St. Anslenfs. The Hawks grabbed the lead early in the contest and held it throughout. The followers were not long in waiting for the Mohawks to get on the winning side for they next en- countered the Scranton Tomcats as the underdog, but turned the tables in a thrilling contest to defeat the Pennsyl- vania team, 33-34. The Siena cagers lost, however, to Paterson State Teachers 011 the New Jersey court. The Teachers took the visitors into town to the tune of 33- 30. Siena returned to Gibbons Hall court for its next contest against the formidable live from Buffalo, the Canisius Grifhns, considered one of the strongest teams in the East when they engaged the Indians. The Grifhns proved too strong for the Indians and returned to their home grounds with a 43-34 win tucked under their belts. The Siena team was within hve points of Canisius at the end of the third stanza but the visitors then sprang ahead to the lead they enjoyed at the final gun. The last home game of the sea- son followed the Hartwick tilt, the game being played against the St. Michaels Club of Vermont. Although the Ver- monters were not too strong, the Indians had a tough time Of it and Captain Howie Tucker plucked a loss out of the air with a beautiful set shot from the center of the court with only seconds remaining. Siena went on the road to complete its 1941-42 schedule, but were forced to drop another contest to St. Anslenfs followed by a loss in three overtimes to Lowell Tex- tile. They kept the trip from being a complete failure by taking the measure of . the Becker College quintet in the last game of the season, 36-34, this game also being a thrilling overtime contest. At the Enish of this season, the In- dians had the distinction of being the hrst team of Siena College to wind up the season with a better than Eve hundred average for the campaign. The Indians went into the 1942-43 campaign with the loss of two startin seniors plus their starting center, Bifl Wolven, and another big man, Guy Childs, both of whom went into the serv- ice. Buster McManus, starting forward of the preceding year7s team was also lost to the squad when he enlisted in the Navy during the early part of the present cam- paign. The loss of these big men left the Indians with a short team that was plenty fast. Their lack of height has not bothered them to date for they have won eight and lost four contests against some of the strongest teams in the East. Iona College was the opening contest of the 1942-43 campaign and they went down easily at the hands of the Mohawks, g6-4o. Hartwick, an old rival of Siena, came into town boasting the strongest quintet out of the Oneonta school in years and really gave the Siena cagers a light for their money. The Indians out- fought them, however, and came out on the long end of the score, 43-35. Paterson Teachers next came to Siena and were easily subdued, 48-33. Arnold and Fort Dix went down before the Indians to make it live straight when the Mohawks hit the road for a three game trip resulting in three straight losses. The Siena quintet couldnt seem to get started on the road and were forced to return home bearing the three defeats. On returning home the Indians took the measure of the Plattsburgh State Teachers quintet followed by an overtime loss to the strong St. Francis of Brooklyn team. Pratt Institute gave the Indians hard fought contest but were forced to leave the court on the short end of a 44-32 count. At the time that this book went to press, the Indians had knocked off one more opponent, Lawrence Tech, and were OH on the road again to try to repeat last yeafs upset over Villanova.

The Green and Gold Iayvee7s compiled a total of seven hundred and sixteen points for the season, scoring three hun- dred and three Eeld baskets and one hun- dred and ten foul shots. The Junior Var- sity quintet had an offensive average of 47.7, while the defensive average was gga, outscoring their opponents by 14.2 points per game. Basing their attack on a fast passing attack combined with fine bucket play and varying this with a fast breaking at- tack, the Green and Gold squad had lit- tle trouble with any of their opponents. The defense was mainly a man for man- but was also varied with a zone and switching defense on occasrons. The highest total of points yet to be rung up on the Gibbons Hall boards was achieved by the Junior Varsity quintet, when they compiled a total of 71 points against the Sacred Heart team of Troy. The team won eight out of ten games at home and dropped two out of Eve on the road. This record was established against the strongest competition of the area plus a few games in more distant points. The 1942-4g varsity squad is composed mainly of the members of this 1941-42 quintet and they are again doing a nice job as varsity mainstays. Things looked plenty dismal for the io4zv4g Iayvee squad when they appeared for practice at the early part of the season. The talented freshmen in school were moved to the varsity squad, leaving the junior quintet with very little talent. This squad worked hard together, however, and turned the tables on the skeptics by compiling a record of ten wins against one defeat to date for the present campaign. The team is mainly a cooperative quintet that plays very well together. The lone defeat at the hands of the State College Junior Varsity has been avenged, however, with the Siena Iayvees handing them a good trimming in the return game. T hings looked very pessimistic but are now noth- ing but promising for the best record of a Iayvee team at Siena. It looks as it last years Iayvee squad's record is going to be bettered.
