Keeping guard at Perpetual Exposition: Tom Health and Frank Sweeney. HE Senior Class of ' 49, having established many precedents already, started the first closed Retreat for the graduating class at Bishop Molloy Retreat during inter-term week. Thirty-five men withdrew themselves from the troubles of the world, in order that they might better themselves spiritually. Father Cosmas and Father Alfred of the Passionist Fathers conducted the Retreat. The day began with Mass and Communion at 7 and ended with prayer in the evening at 10. During the day seniors served as honor guard at the Perpetual Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament; took part in outdoor Stations of the Cross; and in the retirement of their rooms meditated on spiritual reading. At the close of the Retreat, the Seniors had not only a deeper appreciation of their Faith, but also the conviction that by living their Catholic religion they could help others as well as themselves. 49 cCr � «...

The Third Order I IKE all approved religious orders of the Church, the Third Order of St. Francis is a specific way of life, a Rule based upon the Gospel life of Christ. Flowing from the essence of the Gospel translated into terms of every day life for the lay person, the spirit of this society functions as a hidden agent in¬ fluencing its members to lead a thoroughly Catholic life. Inspiring all in its fold to Catholic Action in every other society to which they belong, the Third Order affords to all a model of true Franciscan activity. 104 The Sodality NXIOUS to see the religious functions of the College grow both in number and in participation on the part of the student, the Sodality during the past year directed its every effort in bringing to the fore the spiritual aspects of college life. Invoking the aid of the Blessed Virgin Mary, its patron, this group with the assistance of its moderator, Fr. Fleming, undertook a program highlighted by First Friday Mass, Communion and Holy Hour, and October devotions to Our Lady. Through the Sodalist , a monthly bulletin edited by Andy Castagliola, the Sodality fostered an intelligent and active interest in the doctrines and practice of the Catholic faith. .

As media¬ tor between students and the Administration the Council governed all student non-athletic activities in an efficient and orderly manner. Though keeping in mind at all times the interests of the body which they were representing, this group went all out in its efforts to merit the wide range of thought granted by the Administration. Under the presidency of Rog Egan and Ed Fountaine freedom of debate was always guaranteed, and they supplied the restraint as needed. Proud of the College which they as a group were representing, the Coun¬ cil strove to offer to the College something in which it might find satisfaction. This desire was satisfied for the Council afforded to the Student true repre¬ sentation; to the Administration—cooperation; to those outside our institu¬ tion a shining example of earnest and constructive activity.

TRIVING for the intellectual develop¬ ment of its individual members and stressing complete understanding of problems as prerequisite for their solu¬ tion, the St. Bonaventure Philosophical Society during the past year presented a series of lectures and discussions which rivalled the exceptional quality of the previous year ' s accomplishment. With the aid of its patron so renowned in wisdom and sanctity, the Society hopes to give to the world the Christian Philoso¬ phy so essential to life in the sphere of reality which philosophy studies.

N ow in its seventeenth year of existence, Le Cercle Francois, although technically a departmental club, is open to all members of the Student Body who like their extra-curricular activities seasoned with a touch of I ' esprit Gaulois and the inimitable joie de vivre of Professor Fiorenza. Le Cercle, certainly one of the most prominent and best liked Clubs in the College, works all through the school year to live up to its aim—a social atmosphere in which a true appreciation of French culture can flourish. 109 Front Row: Patrizzi, Treasurer; Palminteri, President; Poch-Nicholich, Vice President; McCormack, Secretary.

The high-point of the year was the granting of the Inter-American Action Commission by the New York Region of the N.F.C.C.S. In connection with the Commission work, there was a book drive in which 2000 text books were collected. At the Regional Congress the Com¬ mission had a brilliant display. The main idea of the Club is to install a deeper understanding of the Spanish language and literature, and to study the many valuable contributions made by the Spanish people. Spanish.

The Mendel Society INCE embarking in October upon a program highlighted by the founding of a scholarship for some worthy biology major, the Mendel Club has proven to be one of the live-wires among the societies at the College. To gain the practical element of biology, the Mendelians enlisted guest speakers experienced in the field of medicine and biological research. Through the Mendel Notes , the society kept in touch with all biology, pre-medical and pre-dental students. At Seminars the research of individuals was offered for the benefit of all. While membership in the Mendel Society demanded activity on the part of the biology major, it also acquainted him with the unknowns of medicine and imbues him with the conviction of the sacredness of life. 112 Indicator Club pOR the students who like to tinker with bottles, burners, and tubes outside of class hours, the Indicator Club is a natural. Originally founded to co¬ ordinate the theoretical chemistry of the classroom with the worlds of industry and science, the Club utilizes field trips, experiments, and discussion by top men in the field of science to achieve its aim.

J HE Press Relations department is perhaps the one single force at St. Francis more responsible for making everybody, everywhere Terrier Conscious . To help the Public Relations Department, Mr. Wielert, its Director founded the Press Club in October of ' 48. With its many and varied duties the Press Club has been a beehive of activity. Evolving mainly from the 14th Regiment Armory, these tasks include setting up and selling programs, aiding visiting newsmen, radio and television announcers, and in general, seeing that the needs of all those at the games are satisfied. The Press Club has figured prominently in winning for St. Francis a small but definite place in the sun . 115 The Math Cluh Front Row: W. Schroeder, J. Moran, J. Balogh, A. Zalud, T. Gallagher, T.

T HE Math Club offers to the student of Euclid, Pythagoras, and others, the chance to view the science of math as it exists outside the classroom and textbook. Continuing business with pleasure, the members of this society postulate the theorem that a man can enjoy math with a slide rule in one hand and some refreshment in the other, if careful calculation is made on the former, and moderation is used with the latter ' 116 Vocation Club Front Row: Alfred Markiewicz, George Bettex, Joseph Rinaldi, Francis Kaiven, Francis Hunt, Alfred Pergola.

T HE Vocation Club, fostering and guarding vocations to the priesthood and Religious state, aids its members in their decisions for life ' s work through prayer and spiritual direction. Under the direction of Father Hassett, its spiritual director, the Club sponsors a monthly Day of Recollection. The retreat attempts to keep the high aim of the members in proper focus, to strengthen the vocations, and to aid those members who are undecided. For one group, the Club provides the necessary knowledge of the will of God; for the other group, it provides the spiritual strength to carry on. For all, the Vocation Club tries to vivify the words of Our Lord, Come, follow 117 N. P. C. C. S Charles Kenny, Chairman, International Relations Committee; John McGuire, Alternate Delegate; Gerard McGrath, Senior Delegate; Frank Palminteri, Chairman, Inter-American Action Committee. ORKING with a zeal and energy indicative of Catholicism in action, the members of the National Federation of Catholic College Students at St. Francis College have played active roles in all N.F.C.C.S. undertakings. Though leaders in the fields of Inter-American Action and International Re¬ lations, these individuals were not content to allow their industry and initia¬ tive to be confined to these two spheres of interest and activity. Work and research on the Radio and Literature Acceptance Polls, Catholic Resettlement, and Student Exchange, was started last October and carried forward with true Franciscan effort. The activity which these men have displayed is assurance enough that the N.F.C.C.S. will always find a welcoming and helpful hand in the College and on the campus of St. Francis. 118 To Kalon K’ Ag’athon Front Row: Claude Terpening, President; Joseph Rinaldi, Stephen Jozwicki, James McPadden.

PRIMARILY a cultural group, the Classics Club has imbued St. Francis College with the glorious heritage of the past—something essential to every institution of learning. Endeavoring to create a sincere interest in the classics, the society sponsored a series of lectures in which the customs, tradi¬ tions, and aesthetic qualities of the antiquities were discussed. Dedicating themselves to the appreciation and to the diffusion of the classics, the mem¬ bers of this society have shown amazing enterprise and energy in their search for the good and the beautiful. 119 HONOR SOCIETY AND FRATERNITIES Duns Scotus Honor Society Joseph Casalaina Joseph Colabella William Fitzpatrick Gilbert Gingold Gerard Curtis Gerard Fiorenza Alfred Hammer Stephen Jozwicki Harold Keit Francis Kerins James LaBorne Elia LaRocca Alfred Markiewicz AMED after Blessed Duns Scotus, Franciscan scholar and defender of the Immaculate Conception, the Duns Scotus Honor Society bestows honor and recognition upon those who, by their scholarship and activity in collegiate endeavors, have gained the resp ect and esteem of the administration, the faculty, and their fellow students. While membership in this society is the token of praise from the College for a job well done , each member entails the obligation of maintaining previous standards and the duty of complying to the Franciscan ideals of a Catholic College gentleman. 122 John Lynch President John McGuire Vice President Jack McGuire receiving his red and blue Duns Scotus tassle.

HILE celebrating its twenty-fifth year here at St. Francis, the Beta Chapter of Phi Rho Pi added much to its already overflowing storehouse of pleas¬ ant memories and outstanding traditions. The Silver Anniversary Dance, dogging with its hell and paddle night , the frequent meetings at which the bonds of friendship were renewed and strengthened—all these and more have made this year a memorable one. Although it has established and encouraged an active fraternal social life among its members, Phi Rho Pi also has fostered in its brothers a keen pride in their frat and a spirit of love and loyalty to their school. 124 Whooping it up for initiation “pHIS school year has been well marked with Pi Alpha activities. While spon¬ soring such undertakings as a memorial Mass, dogging sessions, dances and smokers, Pi Alpha displayed a spirit of brotherhood which identified each member as a standout collegian and regular fellow. As some anonymous historian wrote concerning his frat brothers . . . the Pi Alpha man is a good student, faithful Catholic, and still one of the boys . . . drinks beer, goes out with a working girl, spends his days in class, his nights out and his money on weekends ... is proud of his Frat and prouder of St. Francis ' Front Row: Gene Kelly, Gil Gingold, Matt Hanley, Frank Sweeney, Ed Parry.

The Franciscan now lying in your hands is the achievement of a year ' s work, begun in the summer months of 1948. Whether or not it is satisfactory to all may be difficult to as¬ certain; but at any rate, the hard effort put into this book is now turned into contentment, and perhaps a little pride, for its editors and all those connected with it. Here is a pictorial reminder of the 49ers ' years spent at St. Francis. The graduating class, united as it now is, will not always remain so. The Franciscan, however, shall always keep us bound together; and in the years to come when we open this book once more, we shall recall happy memories. Remember the Ninetieth Anniversary Ball, the Pontifical Mass at St. Paul ' s? The dedica¬ tion of the Statue of Our Lady of Fatima? The I. R. C. ' s smokers? And who will forget the first sight he had of the 14th Regiment Ar¬ mory, where St. Francis opened up its home court for basketball. Remember those Senior Class meetings when The Franciscan continu¬ ally was pleading for money? Remember the Senior Retreat? And who can forget the Senior Week exercises? None will forget the Senior Ball . . . The memories linger forever.

Tony Canzoni, Pete Hlinka, George Jackson, Pat Amendola, Paul VanWagner. J HE Troupers have been in existence almost as long as the College an d have been giving performances every year, with the exception of the World War I and II periods, since the late 1 800 ' s. Reactivated in 1 946 through the com¬ bined efforts of some faculty members and a few interested students, they gave their first post-war performance, Skin of Our Teeth in 1946. Since then they have done Shadow and Substance and the Second Sheperds Play and as this yearbook goes to press, are in re¬ hearsal with The Late George Apley. 134 FATHER MURRAY Director of The Troupers SECOND SHEPHERD’S PLAY” Members of The Troupers in Christmas Play directed by Father Murray.

For one brief, fleeting instant, the light of independent thought flickers in George when he decides to let his son and daughter marry their respective lovers, overcoming the solid bulwark of his own unhappy youth when his father prevented his marriage to a certain young lady. But the lid quickly snaps shut on this radical turn of events, and George re¬ verts to his narrow type, dragging John, his son, with him, and marrying him off to Cousin Agnes. Daughter Eleanor is the sole Apley to gain freedom, and the playgoer is left to decide the better life. 138 SPORTS ATHLETICS WILLIAM McGUIRE Athletic Director DANIEL LYNCH Basketball Coach PATRICK GLEASON Freshman Basketball Coach 140 JACK BROWN Track Coach WPIX I I I I hi--PRESENTS- mm BASKETBALL FROM THE 14th REG-T. ARMORY THE EYES AND EARS OF TELEVISION Bring ST. FRANCIS Home To Thousands CTRIKING out once again to new and greater vistas, the pioneering 49 ' ers flashed their way across the television screens by being first to have their home court games tele¬ casted. Paving the video-way in the Metropolitan area, the 49 ' ers be¬ came the first to strike this un¬ limited vein of sports coverage. TELEVISION GAMES St. Francis 69, Seton Hall 58. Rack¬ ing up 26 points in the final eight minutes, the St. Francis quintet upended Seton Hall in what the Herald Tribune termed an offen¬ sive showing the like of which has seldom been witnessed on a basket¬ ball court anywhere 7 With Tom Gallagher, who tallied the 800th point of his College career, Paul Labanowski, Steve Ellsworth and Tom O ' Connor all scoring in double figures, the Red and Blue overcame a nine point deficit at the twelve minute mark of the second half to register an eleven point win in what was truly a team victory.- Loyola (Baltimore) 66, St. Francis 64. Taking the lead early in the game, the Loyola quintet from Bal¬ timore warded off a late Terrier rally to register a two-point victory at the 14th Regiment Armory. Holding a three-point margin throughout most of the first half, the Baltimoreans opened up a seven point advantage midway through the second half. The Red and Blue rallied but the Loyola five was able to put on a suc¬ cessful freeze in the last few min¬ utes to break a seven game Francis¬ can winning streak.- Cincinnati 91, St. Francis 62. Led by Ralph Richter, who scored 38 points to shatter Tom Gallagher ' s Armory record of 31, the fast-break¬ ing Cincinnati Bearcats roared to a 29-point rout over the Lynch- coached Terrier cagers. Behind by nine points at half-time, 36-27, the Red and Blue pulled up to within six points after six minutes of the sec¬ ond half had elapsed. Then the roof caved in on the Franciscans as the Ohioans broke through the home team ' s defenses consistently for easy two pointers. Tom O ' Connor, who led the Terrier attack, handled the ball brilliantly to emerge from the debacle as the only shining spot on an otherwise dark and gloomy eve¬ ning. — Manhattan 56, St. Francis 52. Before the largest turnout for a basketball game in Brooklyn in 20 years, Man¬ hattan eked out a closely-fought vic¬ tory over St. Francis. Paced by 6 ' 7 7 Mike Joyce, the Jaspers broke a 50- all deadlock in the last two minutes, after the Terriers had earlier wiped out a 30-21 half-time deficit. Paul Labanowski and Tom Gallagher, with 17 and 16 points respectively, led the St. Francis scoring as the Red and Blue suffered its second straight setback at the hands of a major op¬ ponent. - - - St. Francis 66, Geneva 51. Tom Gal¬ lagher notched 31 points to break his own previous Armory scoring record of 22, in leading the Terriers to their fifth victory of the season. Breaking a 32-all half-time tie, the Red and Blue swept ahead in the second half as Gallagher and Roy Reardon, who tallied 19 points, con¬ tinually found the range. Gallagher ' s record-shattering performance also topped by four points his former high mark of 27 points for one game by a terrier eager.- St. Francis 73, Providence 56. Lead¬ ing all the way, the St. Francis quin¬ tet outscored the Providence Friars in a loosely-played game to register their eleventh intercollegiate victory of the year. Co-captain Tom Gal¬ lagher with 22 points paced the Butler Street five to their one-sided win which was marred by much whistle-blowing. The Red and Blue ran up a 32-23 intermission lead and kept pouring it on in the second twenty minutes to completely over¬ power the outclassed Rhode Is¬ landers. - - - St. John ' s 57, St. Francis 43. Jump¬ ing off to a 21 -4 lead in the first ten minutes, the Indians overwhelmed the Terriers 57-43, to win their twenty-fifth victory in thirty-three recorded contests with the Red and Blue. Paced by Ivy Summer and Captain Dick McGuire, who netted 19 and 14 points respectively, the St. John ' s quintet pulled away in the last ten minutes after the Francis¬ cans had come within one point of tying the score. With Steve Ells¬ worth and Bill Paterno leading the way, the Terriers trailed by 32-31 when McGuire and Buckley broke the game wide open. Steve Ellsworth and Tom Gallagher with 10 markers apiece, led the Red and Blue scoring. 142 k l Tom Gallagher jumps against Ma nhattan ' s Joyce and Schwartz —Manhattan 56, St. Francis 52 .

PAUL VAN WAGNER LJIDING his unlimited talent behind a typewriter in the Athletic Office for the greater part of his four years at St. Francis, Paul Van Wagner has been busily engaged in making the less glamorous side of the basketball team function at its greatest effi¬ ciency. As one of the two Senior Managers of the Varsity five, after serving his apprenticeship as assistant manager for two years, Paul has been greatly responsible for the smooth operation of the press table at the Armory this season. Though Paul is a Philosophy major, there ' s nothing abstract about his ability to get things done in the shortest possible time without the least bit of fanfare. EDMUND WHELAN XX HATEVER adjectives were used to narrate Paul ' s ability and v service to the College can be equally applied to Ed Whelan, which is a compliment to both for their quiet but efficient method of handling the unpublicized but important positions of Senior basketball Managers. Being in the right place at the right time has always been a by-word with Ed, who can be seen in the Athletic Office long before the rest of the student body has arrived at the College and long after the halls are empty in the evening. Quiet but thorough in everything he has done, Ed is usually the first one called upon when there ' s a Committee to be formed. PADDY GLEASON pOLLOWING his fellow teammate across the campus, Paddy Gleason took command of the Freshman basketball squad for the 1 948-49 season. Patiently trying out many combinations, Coach Gleason, who steered the Preparatory quintet during part of the war years, finally hit upon a starting five which fulfilled his fondest expectations by scoring ten consecutive victories before the cage season ended. With his eye on filling several vital openings on next year ' s Varsity quintet, Coach Gleason slowly brought his yearlings along. His results should prove to be of inestimable value when it comes to assembling the 1 949-50 Varsity five. DANNY LYNCH ■ TAKING up the reins of the St. Francis College Varsity last spring after four successful seasons as head coach of the Preparatory quintet, Danny Lynch whipped a young, inexperienced squad into a cohesive unit. A former Franciscan court star himself, Coach Lynch put his every effort into whipping the Red and Blue into a team worthy to challenge the more highly-publicized quintets of the Metropolitan area. That he has had more than average success in his initial year as head basketball coach is attested by the record of the Terriers who, although handicapped in most games by a real lack of height, ended their season with twice as many victories as defeats. His affable personality combined with his deep urge to make St. Francis a national court power augurs well for the future of basketball at the College. the Court Representing St. Francis on VARSITY Front Row: Roy Reardon, Dick Joyce, Tom Gallagher, Co-Captain; Frankie Alini, Mascot; Paul Labanowski, Co-Captain; Tom Gargiulo and J im Luisi.

The Season St. Francis 99 — The Alumni 34. Starting out on their fifty-third season of intercollegiate basketball, the Red and Blue swamped their Alumni in a wild scoring parade. Tom Gallagher and Jim Luisi poured in 24 and 19 points respectively to lead the Terriers in their attempt to hit the century mark.- St. Francis 66 — American U. 47. Danny Lynch took the wraps off his first St. Francis Col¬ lege quintet as the Terriers racked up their initial 1948- 49 intercollegiate victory. With Tom Gallagher hitting for 22 points, the Red and Blue routed the D.C. five be¬ neath a flurry of second-half baskets.- St. Francis 69 — John Marshall 53. The St. Francis Varsity made it three in a row as they overwhelmed the outplayed John Marshall squad on the losers ' home court. Coach Lynch used all of his men in notching the one-sided victory.- Villanova 64 — St. Francis 48. Traveling to Philly, the Lynchmen tasted defeat for the first time, losing to the taller, more experienced Villanova Wildcats. Behind by nine points at half-time, the Terriers fell further back after Tom Gallagher left the game on fouls early in the second half. - - - St. Francis 75 — Paterson State 59. Turning a close 32 to 25 half-time lead into a second- half rout, the Terriers rang up their third intercollegiate win on the Jerseyites ' court. Tom Gallagher again took scoring honors with 25 points.- St. Francis 43 — Siena 33. Despite the tight zone defense of the visitors and a large rooting section of Siena students, the Red and Blue scored a ten-point victory over the Albany quintet. Mak¬ ing every shot count, the Terriers took a 24-15 half¬ time lead which they maintained for the rest of the low- scoring game. - - - St. Francis 62 — Iona 57. Staving off a late second half scoring thrust by the Iona five, the St. Francis basketballers edged the Gaels for their seventh victory in nine starts. The Toms, Gallagher and O ' Connor, scored in double figures for the Red and Blue who held an 1 1 point advantage at intermission. - - - N. Y. A. C. 65 — St. Francis 62. The N. Y. A. C. five broke a 62-all tie in the last two minutes to down the Franciscans dur¬ ing the Christmas recess. Paced by the Gale brothers, the Clubmen maintained a slight lead through most of the hard fought contest. Paul Labanowski hit for 14 points to lead the Terriers who thus dropped their third game. - - - St. Francis 55 — Brooklyn College 45. Rally¬ ing in the final eight minutes of the game, the Terriers ripped through the Kingsmen in a game in which the lead continually kept changing hands. The B.C. cagers were held scoreless in the last six minutes as the Franciscan five notched twelve straight points to bring their season ' s mark up to 8 victories as against 3 defeats. - - - St. Francis 63 — Boston College 52. The Terriers returned to the 14th Regiment Armory after an absence of three weeks to top the Eagles of Boston College. Following a close first twenty minutes, at which point the Red and Blue held a 25-23 lead, the Butler Street quintet, led by Tom Gallagher and Tom O ' Connor, pulled away from the taller but slower New Englanders. - - - Duquesne 75 — St. Francis 62. Taking the advice of Horace Greeley, the Terrier basketball squad traveled West to engage the Dukes from Pittsburgh. However, it proved to be bad advice as the superior reserve strength of the home club told in the second half, after the Lynchmen had pulled to within two points at half-time. - - - Cincinnati 65 — St. Francis 48. The Red and Blue concluded its brief two- game Western trip by dropping their fifth game of the season to the unbeaten Cincinnati Bearcats. The height advantage of the home team plus the raised platform court proved too much for the outplayed St. Francis five. - St. Francis 78 — Adelphi 57. Behind by three points at half-time, the Varsity, paced by driving Roy Titus ' s 21 points, blasted the Black and Gold of Adelphi under an avalanche of second-half baskets. Titus, who came into the game late in the first half, hit on all nine shots to break wide open the hitherto close game.- St. Francis 66 — Fairfield 42. Slowed down in the first half by a tight zone defense, the Terriers picked up speed following the intermission to swamp a game but outclassed Fairfield squad. Five Franciscans scored in double figures as they romped to their eleventh victory of the 1948-49 season. St. Francis 61 — Brooklyn Poly 48. Held to a two-point, 25-23 half-time lead, the Red and Blue of St. Francis broke away to an easy second-half victory over the Brook¬ lyn Poly Engineers. With Tom Gallagher scoring 19 points, eight of the first ten Terrier markers, the Lynch¬ men used the fast break effectively after the intermission to turn the game into a rout.- St. Francis 66 — Queens College 51. Surpassing his 1947-48 Terrier scoring record, Co-captain Tom Gallagher racked up 25 points against the Queens cagers to bring his season ' s ' total to a new high of 308. Looking ahead to the big tilt with Seton Hall, the Butler Street basketeers hit with ten straight points in the last four minutes to break up a close 55-51 game. - - - St. Francis 56—Fordham 39. Turning a closely-fought but poorly-played first half lead of 24-20 into a second half runaway, the Lynchmen out- scored their Interborough rival to avenge last year ' s set¬ back at the hands of the Rams. The Red and Blue scored ten and then nine consecutive points in the second stanza to win going away. - - - St. Francis 55—Newark Col¬ lege 53. Coming up against the inspired playing of the Newark branch of Rutgers University, the Terriers just lasted to win in what was supposed to be merely a breather. Paul Labanowski caged the tie-breaking goal in the last minute to give the Brooklynites a hard-fought victory over lightly-held Jerseyites.- St. Francis 66 — Iona 62. Scoring seven straight points in the overtime, the Franciscan quintet held off the smaller but aggressive Iona Gaels to win their first overtime contest of the sea¬ son. With Paul Labanowski and Tom O ' Connor notching two-pointers in the extra five-minute period, the Terriers recorded their eighteenth intercollegiate win of the cur¬ rent cage campaign.- St. Bonaventure 53 — St. Francis 34. Invading upstate New York for three games in five days, the Red and Blue fell before the smooth court play of the Brown Indians of St. Bonaventure. Stressing pos¬ session of the ball, the Bonnies kept the Terrier scorers in check for most of the game, as only high-scoring Tom Gallagher, with 14 points, managed to break through the tight defenses of the Upstaters. - - - Canisius 51—St. Francis 46. Following their one-sided loss to St. Bona¬ venture, the Varsity stopped off at Buffalo where the Golden Griffins eked out a five point win over the under¬ dog Terrier quintet. With Paul Labanowski holding Cani- sius ' s top scorer, Tom Mueller effectively in check, the Red and Blue behind by a 46-32 score, staged a whirl¬ wind rally which just fell short of tying the score as the game ended. - - - Niagara 66—St. Francis 56. Con¬ cluding their three game upstate trek, the Coach Lynch ' s cagers dropped a heartbreaking ten-point contest to the Purple Eagles. Ahead by one point, 50-49, with less than five minutes to play, the Red and Blue collapsed before Taps Gallagher ' s hard-charging quin¬ tet, which registered 17 con¬ secutive points to pull the game out of the fire. Roy Reardon, with 19 points, paced the Ter¬ riers who dropped their tenth game o the season. - - St. Francis 50—Creighton 43. Trailing by one point, 21 -20, at half-time, the Franciscans overcame a tight zone defense in the second half to down the Creighton Blue Jays, 50-43. Tom O ' Connor with 1 3 and Tom Gallagher with 1 1 points led the Red and Blue attack which was slowed down by the poor foul shooting of the Terriers, who converted only 18 out of 39 foul attempts.

The score, 57-43, scarcely in¬ dicates the excitement and tension of the game which saw the inspired Terriers overcome an almost unsurmountable lead only to finally fall beneath the phenomenal shooting average of the Red and White of St. John ' s. After the pre-game festivities, in which the St. Francis cheer leaders chased an Indian, in the person of Matt Dooner, around the court more times than affable Matt cares to remem¬ ber, the two squads took the floor for their final contest of the 1 948-49 season. With Co¬ captains Tom Gallagher and Paul Labanowski of St. Francis and Captain Dick McGuire play¬ ing their final collegiate game, both teams made ready to win the game which would make the season a successful one. With stunning suddenness, the McGuire- men swept to an 8-0 lead in the first two min¬ utes before the overflow crowd had scarcely settled back in their seats. It was 21-4 inside of eight minutes as the Redmen led by McGuire and Ivy Summer continued to pour it on the Butler Street quintet. However, led by little Steve Ellsworth, who scored seven of the first eight Terrier markers, the Lynchmen ral¬ lied back in the waning minutes of the first half until they had pulled up to within eight points of the smooth ball-handling Indians. The Red and Blue of St. Francis was definitely back in the ball game when the intermission buzzer sounded and the tired quintets left the court with the St. John ' s five ahead by a 27-19 count. Carried along by their late first half surge, the Franciscans continued to close the gap un¬ til, after six minutes of the second half, the score read St. John ' s 32, St. Francis 31. Here, however, Dick McGuire and Tommy Tolan of the Redmen took command. Breaking through the Red and Blue defenses, they tallied seven markers inside of one minute for an eight point margin. From then on the Terriers were unable to catch up, as repeated Indian shots found their mark with unerring accuracy. At the end, despite the never-say-die spirit of the Lynch-coached five, the St. John ' s quintet had amassed a fourteen point lead. It was a well- earned 57-43 victory which the Williamsburgh squad had won, but for the Franciscan quintet it was a heart-breaking loss. The post-game ceremonies, officiated over by Guy Lebow, telecaster of the St. Francis Armory games, were highlighted by the pre¬ Roy Reardon drives past Tommy Tolan of St. John ' s. sentation to St. John ' s of the Buckley Trophy by Mr. Edward Buckley. The trophy, which had been won last year by the Terriers, was permanently awarded to the Indians who won the third leg necessary for retiring the Memo¬ rial trophy. For his splendid teamwork and outstanding individual performance, Dick McGuire of St. John ' s received the Brooklyn CYO Trophy for the second straight year. This trophy, awarded by the sports writers, is an¬ nually given to the player who is selected as the outstanding performer in the St. Francis- St. John ' s game. This game ended a long but fairly successful season for the Terriers, which saw them win 1 9 games, including the Alumni contest, while dropping 1 1 decisions. For Danny, who took over the position as head coach following the retirement of Joe Brennan, it was the initiation into collegiate basketball. His first-year rec¬ ord proved that Danny will undoubtedly be around for a very long time. Further, in retro¬ spect, this year saw Tommy Gallagher break his own all-time individual scoring record of 303 points. His 436 points, amassed in 29 contests, will probably remain on the books for a long time to come. For Tom, as well as for Paul Labanowski and Tom McNiff, the St. John ' s game was the final one of their col¬ legiate career. But the rest of the team will be back next year seeking to avenge the 57-43 defeat inflicted upon them by the Redmen. 151 Statistics VARSITY RECORD SFC Opp. 99 Alumni. 34 66 American U. 47 69 John Marshall. 53 48 Villanova . 64 52 Manhattan . 56 75 Paterson St. 59 43 Siena . 33 66 Geneva . 51 62 Iona . 57 62 N.

The idea which Brother Richard, former Athletic Director, came up with a few years previous had reached its realization under his successor Bill McGuire. Actually it is the work of more than Brother Richard, who had the idea or Joe Brennan, former coach, who suggested the site, or Bill McGuire, who worked unbelievably hard on it ... it is the sum total of many men ' s labors . . . fast talking Joe Wielert and his Press Club . . . Dan Lynch and Paddy Gleason and their respec¬ tive teams . . . the Alumni and the Administration who sup¬ ported the venture . . . the students who attended the games . . . why, even Ned Irish helped to make it a success by stirring up the spirit when he closed the Garden to the Terriers. Overall, it was the biggest event in this College year, St. Francis was launched successfully into big time ball. Classes instead of ball games.

FRANCIS - MANHATTAN GAME 158 Bill Weir 4 m gill VM h llllllliMKII Jack McGuire BEGINNING his second year as track coach of the Terriers, Jack Brown had enough material on hand for the hill and dale campaign to form both a Varsity and Junior Varsity team. Practice was started early in September with an optimistic view toward the fall campaign. The first test for the young team was against the Redmen of St. John ' s on Oct. 16th, Led by sophomore Bill Welsh over the grueling five mile course at Van Cortlandt Park, the Terriers scored a near shutout triumph. Follow¬ ing Welsh were Ed Kennedy (2nd), Arch Attarian (3), Capt, Walt Murphy (5th), and Jack McGuire (6th). Our first seven men ran under 30 min. with Welsh traversing the course in 28:00. Four days later, a strange and muddy course at Seton Half proved too much for the Terriers as they went down to their only defeat. The meet was highlighted by Phil Stillwell of Seton Hall breaking the course record. Bill Welsh was the Red and Blue ' s first finisher (4th), followed by Kennedy (6th), Jack McCarthy (7th), Jack Pirkl (8th), and McGuire (9th). Season Record St. John ' s , Seton Hall Iona ___ Fordham „ Metropolitan Intercollegiate Championships —- 3rd place, Archie Attarian It ' s a long grind! McGuire at the end of five. A GAINST Iona the team showed terrific strength as it V brought 1 1 men home before the fifth man of Iona was able to cross the chalked finish line. Nine of these St. Francis runners came in under 30 min. with Welsh, Ke nnedy, McGuire, and McCarthy being clocked under 29 min. for a tremendous exhibition of power. The 22nd annual running of the Metropolitan Inter¬ collegiate Cross Country Championships was run on Nov. 2nd and had six colleges entering 46 men. The men of St. Francis finished 3rd behind Manhattan and NYU with Welsh doing it again—finishing a strong fifth in his best season ' s time of 27:14. Following Welsh and earning team place medals were Kennedy, Weir, McGuire and Attarian. The Varsity ' s last meet of the season saw the Rams of Fordham led by Bob Curran encountering the Francis¬ cans. The result was an old but pleasant formula, Welsh showing the way in first place with Weir and Attarian tied for 3rd, Kennedy in 5th and Andersen in 9th. With the team almost intact for the 1949 season, the team is looking forward to another great season of cross country running, perhaps even better than that of 1948. There must be an easier sport.

THE Junior Varsity with a 2 won, 2 lost record were impressive. In the meet against Man¬ hattan, Weir, McCarthy, Andersen, and Murphy finished among the first ten. Against Seton Hall Weir, Andersen, and Henry McVeety took 1-2-3. The foursome of Andersen, McVeety, Jack Munnelly, and Frank Dowd broke into the limelight in the Kings Point meet by copping the first four places. The Metropolitan Championships saw the team place third with Andersen (9th), McVeety (1 1th), Munnelly (13th), Dowd (15th), and Duer (17th), in a field of 26 runners. Jack Munnelly and Bill Brooks finished 3rd and 4th in the NYU contest. Bill Weir ran the fastest J.V. time of the season, a 29:09 showing. The team was so good at times Coach Jack Brown had difficult moments in deciding who were to be his A and B teams in evaluat¬ ing his resources for the opposition.

THE Frosh were the only sore spot on the squad ' s X-Country record showing a dismal 0-6 season. Nevertheless there were a few bright spots regarding the team. First, there was Sebastian Brancato who came along fast in the latter stages of the season. Also in big, powerful Don Griffith who should post some good races in Varsity competition. Then there is Gerry Nolan who may be a dark-horse and Johnny Cunningham who could be a tough competitor. Griffith and Brancato hold the fastest 3 mile clockings of the season for the yearlings. They both did 17:28 which Griffith showed against Iona and Brancato against NYU. Indoor Season Bill Weir receiving the trophy for the Daniel F. Memorial 1,000 yd.

Be¬ cause of their determination, the fast-moving harriers had a very successful and rewarding season. Track fans saw sophomore Bill Weir crowned the Metropolitan Intercollegiate 1000 yard champion, and then on the following night, his winning of the James F. Nolan Trophy in an¬ other 1000 yard race. Steve Dillon proceeded to break the Metropolitan Freshman record for the 35 lb. weight throw, and Cyril Tyson made eyes pop with forty-nine second quarter- miles The varsity mile relay won their specialty in the Philadelphia Inquirer Meet, took second in the Millrose Games, and thirds in the Seniors Mets, and N. Y. A. C. Meets. The two mile relay of Munnelly, McCarthy, Attarian, and Weir took second in the Long Island Chapter, K. of C. Meet, and third in the Metropolitan Championships. Such men as Weir, Captain Attarian, Mun¬ nelly, McCarthy, Duer, and Andersen to name a few, were iron men because they could run their specialties and then come back later in the meet to run on relays which required sta¬ mina and the taking of punishment on the part of the runner. Don Clancy, George Rouillard, Frank Franov, Sebastian Brancato, Bill Welsh and others were valuable point-getters and never knew the word, quit . The team as a whole garnered over sixty assorted awards and can look for¬ ward to even higher honors and better results, next year as they will be able to field a veteran team which will be well poised, possess almost uniform strength and will have the spirit and energy to take on all challengers.

BOWLING XA HEN opening day rolled around for the Bowling Team, St. Francis had an all veteran team returning in Bill Tursellino, Bill Fitzgerald, Joe Dunn, Judd Costarino, and Joe Denike. The first opponent St. Francis rolled against was Long Island Uni¬ versity, last year ' s metropolitan intercollegiate champs. St. Francis came out on top at the end of the day with a 2 to 1 count, with Fitzgerald rolling a 213 game. The week fol¬ lowing St. Francis fell victims to St. John ' s University, 2 to 1. Then followed two weeks in which the College team won 5 out of 6 games against Hunter and Queens Colleges. When St. Francis met Pace College it suffered its first major set-back by dropping three out of three. Bill Tursellino was high man for St. Francis with a 545 series. After a two weeks lay off for , .. , Christmas vacation. St. Francis met Brother Edmund, Moderator Fordham, and lost one to two. In this game a new Metropolitan Intercollegiate record was set with Fordham rolling a 1007 game against the College. Tursellino and Fitzgerald were high men for St. Francis with a 561 and 567 series respectively. The following week St. Francis defeated Cooper Union three games to none. It was at this time that the American Bowling Congress tried to dominate the Metropolitan Inter¬ collegiate Bowling League. Three men were lost by St. Francis, but they were replaced by Bill Brooks, George Rouillard, and Ed Weinberg. With this new team St. Francis then went on to win eleven out of its next twelve games, and moved into undisputed possession of third place and within six points of first place. Manager John Bertone ED PARRY Pitcher ' L BILL PATERNO Infield back in 1947 when the Forty-Niners 7 were merely sophomores Baseball once again returned to St. Francis College as a major sport. This resurrection was accomplished primarily through the efforts of Roger Egan who was, as we all are, prospecting for new fields in which the Terriers might seek their fortunes. Hal Grady and Bill Reilly were the only Forty-niners on that first squad which was managed by the Typical Franciscan himself Rog Egan. Last year another Forty- niner, Tom McNiff, joined the squad and the team showed much improvement over the previous season reaching their peak in the game with C.C.N.Y. In this contest the Terriers played heads-up ball and behind Bill Reilly ' s five-hitter beat the Lavenders, who wound up the season in second place in the Metropolitan Intercollegiate Baseball Conference, 2-1. All through the season it was Bill Paterno ' s consistent hitting which stood out and in the fourteen games that were played he ended up with 26 runs batted in and a batting average of well over .400. BILL REILLY Pitcher It had been hoped that 1949 might find the Diamond Terriers as members of the Metropolitan League but the Con¬ ference ' s decision was not to accept the new applicants for admission until such time as it would be practical to divide the league into two sections and this has not yet been done. This is the season toward which the fellows on the team have been pointing because they all have either one or two years ' experience and they now feel that they can make their presence known to other teams more than they ever have in the past. To help them prove their point a very imposing schedule has been woven together and they will have to be in tip-top shape to accomplish their aims. Lettermen who are playing again this year include Bill Paterno, hard-hitting first baseman; Tom McNiff, hustling second baseman and double play pivot man extraordinary; Frank Hand, shortstop, and Roy Titus, rifle-armed third sacker, in the infield. Veterans in the outfield are left-fielder Leo Walsh, who has plenty of speed and baseball savvy; Herb Wood, strong-armed reserve center-fielder; Paul McWilliams, ponderous, long-ball hitting right fielder, and Roy Reardon, who with a year ' s experience should come into his own at any one of the spots in the outer gardens. Receivers returning are Tony Constantino, small but possessing plenty of hustle; hulk¬ ing Ed Gerber, and stocky George O ' Rourke. An ample supply of pitching strength is also on the scene once more in the per¬ sons of Bill Reilly, three game winner last year; Bob Webb, who also won last year; Ed Parry and Jack Dougherty, sterling relief artists now ready to win on their own; Big Jack O ' Connor, speed-ball specialist, and newcomer Bob Johnson, a fast left¬ hander. ED GERBER Catcher FRANK HAND Infield 169 LEO WALSH Outfield ROY REARDON Outfield JACK DOUGHERTY Pitcher Ed Parry, Bill Reilly, Al Zalud, Jack O ' Connor. TONY CONSTANTINO Catcher This year the Baseball team is also under the tutelage of Danny Lynch. He takes over the reins from Lew Malone, one¬ time Brooklyn Dodger second baseman, who gave the team two years of solid groundwork in the game ' s fundamentals. Aid¬ ing Coach Lynch is the Senior Manager, who steps into the number one manager ' s spot this season after two years as assistant to Roger Egan. And so it comes to pass that with this season the Forty- Niners who are playing on the team will be finishing up their college athletic careers. When the last play ball has been called they will be packing their gloves, along with their books and prospecting gear, into their knapsacks as they leave St. Francis for the last time and head off toward the bright lights and fabulous fortunes awaiting them in this brave new world . 170 GEORGE O ' ROURKE Catcher BASEBALL SCH April 1 -—Equitable Life Assurance Soc--Home April 9—Hofstra College_Away April 1 Sf|j—Manhattan College_J.-,_ —Home April 16—Adelphi College_Away April 18—Seton Hall College_Away April 21—Pratt Institute_ Away April 23—John Marshall College_ Home April 25—Queens College___Home April 28—John Marshall College_.._-_Away April 30 —Iona College_Away May 3 — City Col lege 4 . _j _Away May 6—New Yor.k Maritime Academy._Home May 7—Adelphi College_Home May 9 —Drew University_Away May 12—Seton Hail College_AJ uLL . ....Home May 14—New York Maritime Academy _Away May 1 6—Queens Colle _ JmgJL. _Away May 17—St. Peter ' s College__Away YEEER OUUUT!

' PantttenA Of course, our job wasn ' t as tough as the trip out West back in the days of the ' 49 ' ers, but we did have partners in our task who gave us a helping hand when the wagon got stuck in the mud . We take our ten gallon hats off to soft spoken, easy going Joe Mahoney, our Moderator, who was always willing to point out the trail but refused to ride herd on us at any time. The New City Printing Company Office will probably be a saner, more quiet office now that we are finished. To Frank and Fred and Dan and the whole gang our thanks for all their work and ideas. Bill Welter of the Lorstan Studios did a mighty fine job in rounding up the Senior Class and the Underclassmen and branding us, photographically speaking. Al Sfayer ' s office was always a good meeting place for the gang to map our plans out, and of course he took care of our saddle bags full of gold. Our sincerest thanks goes to the boys in the basement , for when it came to swapping tall tales or a little rustling on the side of supplies, the Athletic Office came in mighty handy. It took a good cow-poke to beat Joe Wielert, Bill McGuire, Danny Lynch and Co. at anything from coffee to addresses. Our last but hardly the least of our thanks goes to the families of the staff for the numerous cold dinners they were forced to eat because of us, for the high phone bills we ran up, and for their patience of listening while we con¬ vinced ourselves over and over that the book would be a success. . . . tyou wsi cutytcme. 191 A Complete College and School Annual Service Cooperation ... between the Printer and the Yearbook Staff is the spirit that makes possible the production of annuals of high standards.
