Clemente, CO ' 3:ditor The appointment of Brother Pascal as Dean of the College represents the rec¬ ognition of a personality and talent deeply cherished by the students of Saint Francis for many years. The Deanship offers a wider stage for the exercise of the erudition and kind¬ ness of a man who happily combines intellectual attainment with the sim¬ plicity of the patron of his Order. ■ ;ri‘ N ' - ' v ' - ' i ' , ' ,- ' ■ ' .‘■■ ' ‘■j ' .

The Jersey Painter BKHNIE VENEY President As Brother Pascal has said so often this semester, college life is not purely curricular, but by necessity also extra-curricular. The junior class has not only done noteworthy curricular work, but has also participated largely in extra¬ curricular activities. We realize that these programs are as important a part of college life as are texts, tests, and courses, and therefore we look upon active participation in extra-curricular activities as a vital element in the education of the whole man. As sophomores we were able to hold our heads up as true Franciscans, and now in our junior year we feel we have gone on in the same spirit. Our administrative hub is comprised of Bernard Veney, president; Bob Minion, vice president; and Ed Quigley, class treasurer. Quigley is the editor of the school newspaper, and his staff is rich in juniors: Bob Minion, associate editor; Bernard Veney, news editor; Tom h ' oman, business manager; Tony Puglisi, feature editor; John Dunn, art editor; and Dom Firriolo, news staff. An annual job, that of securing the class rings, is in the capable hands of Bernard Veney and Ed Quigley. Tom Vroman is the treasurer of the Student Council and Ed Quigley is the secretary, while our class representatives, Joe Lategano, Bob Minion, Tom Vroman, Tom Lynch, and Guy Brooks, worked to make the Pi Alpha dance the success that it was. Carl Papaleo and Dom Firriolo did the same to make the Science Dance a success. Jack Walsh, Hank Daubenschmidt, George Searing and Jerry McMurrer, in the Basketball Department, Bob Furey and Jack Dunn of the Yearbook staff, and the men who are members of Phi Rho Pi and Pi Alpha, all ser e to illustrate how we are working to leave the Class of ’54 well impressed in the memory of St. Francis College. We thank God for His help in the past, and pray for His guidance in our future endeavors. 38 So that ' s the way it is, fellas, Print very carefully. HE! HE! Let’s fool the brothers JERRY BAXTER President It was a different group of men that returned to Saint Fran¬ cis in September as the Sophomore Class of 1952-53. True, the same familiar faces were to be found, but it was apparent that these were no longer freshmen. The look of bewilderment that was theirs a short year ago had been replaced by one of con¬ fidence and belonging. Yes, we knew we belonged at Saint Francis, and it was here that we were to spend another fruitful year. We realized, as we settled down to the usual routine of college life, that this was not to be just another year. Brother Pascal called upon the students for co-operation in his pro¬ gram of building from within. With the aid of many Sopho¬ mores, Terrier Hall took shape, and the dream of a student lounge was realized. Here many a ' ‘Hero” was downed during philosophical and esthetical discussions. Hazing week once again came up. But this time it was not with apprehension that we looked to it, but rather with a cer¬ tain amount of relish. Under Don Morrisey ' s leadership, we initiated the Frosh to the Terrier mode of college living. How¬ ever, on the final day it was somewhat difficult to discern just who was being hazed. At the Soph-Frosh Hop, a real success, all enmity was dissolved, and toleration gave way to genuine acceptance. When the Voice called for new members, there was a large turnout from our class, including Ray Cellure, Arthur Madda- loni, Pete Ferrar and Guy de Pascale. The Third Order was reorganized, with Marty Boyle assuming a leading role. John Bals became Senior Delegate to the N.F.C.C.S. We had a large group in the Vocation Club, including John Brennen, Tom Maloney, Frank and Joe Collins, and Bill Roos. Gerry Baxter was elected Class President; Bob Miniter and Ed O’Connell accepted Student Council positions. Bob Blauvelt lent his talents to the newly-organized Poster Club. In addi¬ tion, there were many who lent their efforts to the programs of the Mendel a nd Humanities clubs, the I.R.C., and the two fraternities. The above list of Sophomore contributions, by no means complete, shows that we possessed a well-balanced class; there was no aspect of college activities that was not entered by some members from our group. From September to June it was realized that we were true Terriers, with an obligation to sustain the Franciscan spirit inherent in the institution. Now at the half-way mark of our college careers, we have an oppor¬ tunity to look back over the achievements of the first two years. We can look back with a sense of satisfaction, for our class was always a dynamic part of the college. Of the past in retrospect, we can be proud; for the future before us, we can indeed be hopeful. a muscle I need some advice Valli surrounds the crowd Chesterfields instead of Baby Ruth Another Assembly??? Coke’s a natural y PETER IMPERATOR President We are no longer freshmen. Our apprenticeship is over. It was a good one. We were hazed. In beanies red and blue, rolled up pants legs, and stringy scarlet cravats, we scraped, mopped and painted a certain un¬ mentionable building for a week. The initiation culminated in the first college dance, the Soph-Frosh Hop. We adapted ourselves. Though it took a while, we eventually came to realize that the clicking in the library was not caused by the radiators, that delicate stomachs and fetal pigs are incompatible, and that basketball is the true ‘national pastime.” We joined the activities. After casting ballots and electing as class President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer, Messrs. Imperator, McLeer, Marino, and Letter! respectively, we proceeded individually to cast about and select the team or club with the most personal appeal. And in the intramurals we did great, especially at track where we just missed top honors by two points. Oh, yes! We also learned a few-things.

Action and results have been die criteria. Working closely with the New Administration, the Council established the new Student Lounge and Recreation Room in Terrier Hall. It also aided in securing volunteers from the student body to carry out the reconstruction nec¬ essary in Terrier Hall. Undoubtedly, the establishment of the cafeteria, and all the other facilities in the Hall will go on record as the greatest achievement of any Council. Once again the Council selected the men whom it regarded as deserving of membership in “Who’s Who in American Colleges and Universities,” “Franciscan Spirit Awards,” and the new “American Student Leaders.” These awards a re given on the basis of scholastic achievement, participation in extracurricular activities, leadership, and future service and credit to the College. This year’s Council also extended the influence and reputation of the College in such student intercollegiate organizations as “National Federation of Catholic College Students,” and “National Student Association.” Representatives of St. Francis once again participated in the Student Conference on Public Affairs held in Albany. Again, as has become the tradition, our delegates assumed a promi¬ nent position and garnered many honors. Working under adverse conditions caused by the diminished enrollment, the Social Calendar was successfully administered. The Council supervised the Soph-Frosh Hop and conducted a Smoker. Proceeds from these helped furnish the Lounge. This year’s Armory schedule was the toughest and largest any Terrier team has had to encounter. The Student Council devoted itself to encouraging the success of this program. Baseball and the large intramural program were also fostered by the Council; and great attempts were made to ‘ ' pep up” student support. All activities such as these depend on a large and enthusiastic response from the students. In view of the existing circumstances, the response had to border on universal cooperation. In all, the Council has faithfully represented the student body and made known its wishes to the Administration; and the results of our sharing of trust have been evident. We are indebted to our moderator, the College Administra¬ tion, and to the students for their interest, concern and cooperation. It has been a ‘good’ year. CHRISTOPHER OTOOLE VINCENT CLEMENTE JOSEPH A. GANNON PAUL L. KRUPA JOHN McDermott MICHAEL A. FITZPATRICK IChe Buns 3cotus i onor ocietg The Society has as its primary aim the encouragement among the students of a love and desire for excellence in scholar¬ ship and service to all the undergraduate activities of the College. The secondary aim is to give honor and recognition to those deserving students who, by out¬ standing attainment, have won the re¬ spect and esteem of their fellow-students and the members of the administration and the faculty. Only after completion of his sophomore year may a student seek membership, membership that does not cease at graduation. At Commence¬ ment each member will have the privi¬ lege of wearing a distinctive tassel on his cap as an emblem of his membership. • ntxmnm 47 fDho’8 Who THOMAS ANGLIM Among Students in American Universities and Colleges VINCENT CLEMENTE JOHN PETERMAN GEORGE SMITH THOMAS SMITH CHRISTOPHER O’TOOLE 48 JOSEPH WENGLER lElic International Tlelations Club One of the most popular clubs here at the College, serves to promote interest in the history and growth of civilization.

The primary aim of the Fraternity is to assist the member in his spiritual, moral, and social growth—for God, Country, and St. Francis College. Since 1951, Mr. Edward Byrne, fac¬ ulty member and head of the Biology Department, has served as Moderator. Pledgees are accepted into the Catholic brotherhood every semester after successfully completing a period of vigorous observance. At present thirty-five brothers proudly wear the Fraternity x in, a symbol of member¬ ship, membershixD that is life-time. t ranas ( oll Phi Rho pi 50 See here Arty Little boy “blew’ So few among so many The frogman’s serenade p 3llpha Since its founding in 1906, Pi Alpha Fraternity has become an integral part of the social life here at the College. It offers to the student that sense of brotherhood so important to a well rounded education. After graduation it becomes the source of those nostalgic feelings which come with memories—of the dances, beer parties, smokers and hazings—of ' ' good times at St. Francis. Some may still be wondering what happened to Ciezlewicz after he won the basket of cheer at the annual Pi Alpha Dance. Or how Marty Donahue ever got home from the Bronx last December. George Smith saying “Now listen you guys will remain with us for many years. How Big” Dan Walsh ever broke a table by sitting on it will always be a puzzler. These are only some of the incidents that we will think back upon in later years. But they take their place among those moments of laughter and friend¬ ship which go to make up Pi Alpha Fra¬ ternity. 52 From Texas to Wall Street, via Skid Row Fireman, spare that tree Ladder of success???

Here at St. Francis, the Troupers, the schoohs dramatic society, have been giving high caliber per¬ formances since the College was founded. Last years presen¬ tation of “Dear Ruth,” under the directorship of Arthur Hanson, was certainly in accordance with the professional level of the productions of the past. It will be up to Bill O’Berg, this years president, to select a play, get together a cast, and give us another hit. The pictures seen in this section take you behind the scenes and show you pictorially just how a production is put together. A dramatic society is a vital part of College life. The Troupers have served proudly and nobly in carrying on a rich tradition and bringing St. Francis College to the people.

At the very beginning we real¬ ized that there existed here at St. Francis a strong tradition of yearbooks. There was a great deal of work to be done, more than was ever anticipated, but the help was always there and the book went to press. The art work (some of the finest to appear in a publi¬ cation of this nature) was handled by John Dunn, the fac¬ ulty cartooning by Gene Tkachenko, a Junior. Bob Furey, also a Junior and one of the most active men at Butler Street, served as business manager and raised the needed money for the many, many bills.

JFranciscan and Tom McCarthy represented the Junior, Sophomore, and Freshman classes respectively. Bill Travers, Tom Pellegrino, and Ben Gould ' s number one son, Frank Silvestri, took care of all the sports copy. Charlie Bove was Senior Editor and Joe Rooney was always there with his camera. Joe Caccavo and Vince “Clayton” Clemente were Co-Editors-in-Chief, but the man behind the men, the man who gave that push when it was needed, was the moderator. Brother Roger. The ' 53 Franciscan is a good book, but is not unsur¬ passable. Our one hope is that it can serve as a challenge to future Franciscan staffs to produce better yearbooks, yearbooks that can help to enhance the reputation of our fine institution.

The aim of this year ' s oice was to stimulate student support of activities, present straight news accurately, and to create a balance between humor and scholarly feature in a manner proper to a college journal. The successful “professional look and tone throughout the paper was achieved by Editor Edward Quigley. His editorial policy uncovered many poignant items as he ripped the fancy covers from the various intercollegiate organizations and exposed them for judgment. His insight into the position of secular education as opposed to parochial brought home the value of our educational system. Bernie Veney cracked the whip in his capacity of News Editor. He assigned the stories, helped with the proofreading and layout. If ever there were a place when the term ‘indispensable ' can be applied, Bernie stands first on line. The feature work was capably directed by Tony Puglisi. Tony arranged that the ‘Viewpoint ' represent the various major fields here at the College. His music column and the ever popular ‘Digit ' were equally successful. The sports department, under the direction of Tom Pellegrino and Bob Chambers, worked hard to bring renewed interest in the intramural program, as well as report the successes and occasional failures of our teams in intercollegiate competition. The “Terrier Growls gave the student insight into the sport situa¬ tion in other colleges, as Tom Pellegrino, with his numerous contacts, scooped the scoops. Assistant Editor Bob Minion is deserving of many laurels. He worked ex¬ ceedingly hard to integrate all the departments, soothe the editor, and dispel the many fears of our Moderator, Mr. Anthony Mottola. Tom Vroman was very successful as Business Manager. Besides balancing the books and securing the ads, he also contributed his time and talents to the News Staff. Pat Esemplare arranged a workable ‘morgue ' and ‘cut ' file while he also sent the editions to the other colleges.

At the meetings all phases of contemporary philo¬ sophical thought in relation to scholastic philosophy were discussed. St. Francis College is represented in the National Federation of Catholic College Students by a group of student representatives elected at the beginning of every school year by the Student Council. The Feder¬ ation was formed to develop lay Catholic leadership among college students. Banonal federation of Catholic College Students i;iit tneinti The Society was founded in 1936.

Intramurals This year initiated a vast program of intramural sports unequalled in the history of St. Francis College. Under the excellent supervision of Brother Roger, Director of Athletics, the improved schedule vas put into effect on October 10. By scoring nineteen points the freshman harriers almost obtained an upset in the annual track and field events. The L R. C., doing its usual best, scored twenty-one points and won the meet. Pi Alpha was third with eighteen. Vern Stokes was big man in the I. R. C. attack, scoring ten points. He won the broad jump, sailing 19 feet, with McMurrer and Crofton right behind him. He also won the 880 yard run in 2 min. 32 seconds. Charles Bachi of the I. R. C. gal¬ loped to a 11,1 second finish in the 100 yard dash. Don Jones was leader for the Frosh, scoring five points in the 440 yard run and riming anchor man in the relay to blaze home in victory. The I. R. C. came through again and captured the swimming laurels at the K. of C. pool on October 25. Paced by Vern Stokes, Jack Prenderville and Jerry Baxter they romped over the Frosh and Phi Rho Pi teams. Stokes did 21.9 seconds in the 50 yard freestyle event and Jerry Baxter won the 50 yard backstroke in 30 seconds. The Frosh captured tlie breaststroke with Norman Oakes first in 31.2 seconds. Dave Campbell was only one second behind Ed Weis to finish third. The medley relay was won by the I. R. C. in 1.25. The winning I. R. C. rolled up 20 points to gain an easy vic¬ tory over their outclassed opponents. Ping pong tournament . . . Left to Right: Joe McGloin, Paul Knipa, Joe Wengler, Captain; Harry McLeer, Bill Travers, Ray Boehm. Led by Captain Joe “Skippy” Wengler, the Terrier Keglers entered the Eastern Inter¬ collegiate Bowling Conference. At the halfway mark, the Franciscans held down se ’enth place in the fifteen team circuit. From this squad, Wengler and Paul “Splits” Krupa will graduate and Bill Travers will leave for military service. Returning for next season will be two year¬ lings and one soph. Of the three, Ray “Spe- rando” Boehm is the best prospect and may blossom into one of the best in the league. Harry McLeer possesses the best strike ball on the team. Joe McGloin, intramural champ, rounds out the squad. With this trio and some fair replacements, the Terriers should do well in the future. jBotoling BILL TRAVERS 68 JOE WENGLER Captain HARRY McLEER RAY BOEHM PAUL KRUPA JOE McGLOIN 69 jBaseball Kneeling: Tony Tcrlato, Pete Ruvolo, Bill Travers, Capt.

The nucleus of the sciuad was made up of returning veterans, led by Capt. Joe Wengler. The pitching staff included such standouts as Jack Lenze, a fast but wild southpaw; Bob Cunningham, ex-Prep star; Pete Ru¬ volo, the able reliefer; and “Bex Barney” Isola. Tom Powers, ex-Prepster, and Bob Pascal worked behind the plate for the Terrier nine. The infielders numbered Plank Daubenschmidt, classy first sacker, with Tom Pellegrino and Jack Donovan the keystone combination, and Capt. Wengler along with Tony Ter- lato at the hot corner. Patroling the outer gardens were Gerry Lenze, hard hitting center fielder; Bob “Plumphrey” Grant and Damian Cristodero.
