J « , rx . ■ ■ | F I l: Vr ' ’ In the lives of the early Fathers , where there is much goodly matter , tee are told this tale, A certain minstrel came and went for so long in divers places that at last, weary of the world, he withdrew into a holy order. Now, though the youth was of much worship and fair and well- made and goodly, he yet knew no craft of which the folk there stood in any need. For he had lived only by juggling and leaping and dancing for no other lesson had he ever learned; nor knew he either Pater Noster or chant or Credo. “Alas,” said he, “shall I serve neither by word nor by deed? By the Mother of God, I will serve by my own trade; the others serve by singing and praying and I will serve by juggling.” Therefore turning to the statue of the Lady, he laid aside his habit and donned the motley. Then he began to leap and to spring; to dance and to juggle. And then he went down on his knees before the image and bowed before it saying: “Most Sweet Queen, of your grace and of your mercy, despise not my service. Farewell, most Sweet Friend, I will serve you the best I can.” And he continued long in this way of life, returning again and again to offer his service and his homage. But at length he was thrown into much trouble. For a monk took note of him and blamed him much in his heart in that he came not to matins. He went to the abbot and told the whole story as you have heard it and the abbot arose and said to the monk: “We shall follow this brother and see what he does.” Then they went to the crypt and hid themselves in a nook in such wise that the juggler saw them not. And the abbot and the monk watched all his divers tricks and his leaping and dancing. So worn and spent was he that the sweat ran out of his body down upon the floor of the crypt. But presently and in a little space his Most Sweet Lady came to succor him. And the abbot watched and straightway saw the Lady come down to him from the vault and tenderly she wiped his forehead with her mantle and most gently she placed the Child in his arms. And many years later the juggler fell grievously ill and at his deathbed those who were there saw a wondrous miracle. For even as the soul left the body and before it had time to fall, it was received by the Mother of God. The holy Fathers tell us that thus it befell this minstrel. And now, let us pray to God, Who is above all, that He grant us to serve Him so well that we may deserve His love. Here ends the story of the Juggler of Our Lady, MiMWCTlA • ..

ST. MICHAEL’S HIGH SCHOOL Sodality Humanities Club 54 €lasses Three years have passed and the class of 1955 is en¬ tering its final stage before the great exodus. The year 1954, however, will go down in the college history as a most active one for the Junior class. Leo Keegan, Elliot Press, Frank Dentico and Jack Fitzgerald were mainstays on the best Varsity five the College has produced since the sport was initiated. Pat Esemplare, Leo Keegan, James Driscoll and Dan Walsh were elected to the Duns Scotus Honor Society. The Business Club, under the direction of Joe McGloin, had a prosperous first year. The Voice staff was well stocked with members of the Junior class—John DeRiso did a creditable job as News Editor; Dan Walsh covered the Sport’s scene with a professional touch. For the Juniors only one year lies ahead, but 1954 will remain in our memories as a most enjoyable and pros¬ perous experience. CLASS OFFICERS President.LEO KEEGAN Vice President . . .

How can he eat with all that work around him??? With the close of the academic year of 1953- 1954 we, the sophomore class, have completed two years of our stay at St. Francis College. Since our first year indoctrination, we have branched out in our chosen fields. Some of us have chosen Science although a majority of us found our main interest in the Arts and Business Administration. We have found that the sophomore year de¬ manded more study and in the same proportion, more social activity. We have been well repre¬ sented in the numerous educational and social func¬ tions at the College. Our classmen are members of the Student Council, International Relations Club, Humanities Club, Troupers, and the newly formed Business Club. We also had an editorial hand in the publication of the VOICE and FRANCISCAN. Pi Alpha and Phi Rho Pi fraternities offered social advantages to the group chosen as “dogs” last year. We also had the good fortune to have several members of the class make the varsity squads in both basketball and baseball. As in past years the sophomore class was behind each activity that took place in the school. 58 Two bumps on a log???

In addition to becoming acquainted with the loca¬ tion of classrooms, library, labs, Terrier Hall, and the Chapel, we were introduced to our instructors and made familiar with the traditions at St. Francis. The friendly rivalry with our big brothers, the Sophs, culminated in the traditional hazing cere¬ monies. Meanwhile, we Freshmen became aware of the formation of new friendships within our group. As students from many high schools in the Metropolitan area, or as ex-service men, we soon learned that we were expected to develop a spirit of loyalty and devotion to Alma Mater. In addition to winning the Intramural Track Meet, the Freshman Class showed early aptitude for Franciscan Spirit by active participation in all the college functions. The following class officers were elected shortly after the opening of the school year: President, John Whiffen; Vice President, Theodore Cooke; Secre¬ tary, John Dunleavy; Treasurer, George Kehm.

What did Byrnes say? To act as a coordinating agency, to foster a closer relationship between faculty and students in the sense that such is necessary, to regulate and supervise such activities as are placed within its scope and to fost er student action in the best interest and ideals of the College .. PREAMBLE -W J Ini Operating within this framework, the Student Council has labored with varying degrees of success; in some aspects the results have been gratifying; in others, negligible. The Armory schedule was the toughest and largest any “Terrier” team has had to encounter; in line with this, the Student Council instituted a class and club “sponsorship” program resulting in the best armory financial success in our Basketball history. It was a year that saw the institution of a Senior lounge and recreation room; in making up the so¬ cial calendar the Council supervised a “Franciscan Dance” for the financial benefit of the Yearbook; further, it conducted a highly successful Japanese War Relief drive. The crowning achievement of this years’ Council was the establishment of a scholarship fund to aid deserving students in attaining a Franciscan edu¬ cation. In furtherance of this theme, a Student Counseling Service was also administered, aiding those underclassmen who found difficulty in adjust¬ ing to particular courses in the curriculum. In all, the Student Council has faithfully repre¬ sented the student body and made known its wishes to the Administration; and the results of our sharing of trust have been evident. We are genuinely in¬ debted to our Moderator, to the College Administra¬ tion and the Faculty for their interest and concern and especially to those students who contributed their active support. Whatever small degree of suc¬ cess we have achieved is due, in no small part, to them. It is our fervent hope that such support will increase in volume and intensity, thus assuring the next Council a greater degree of success. )uns catus The Duns Scotus Honor Society was established at the college in 1935 with a two-fold aim. The first aim is the encouragement, among the students, of a love and desire for excellence in scholarship and service to all the undergraduate activities of the college. The second aim is to give honor and recog¬ nition to those worthy students, who have won the esteem of their fellow-students, the members of the faculty, and the administration. A student is eligible to seek membership only after completion of his sophomore year. Member¬ ship does not cease with graduation, Alumni or other distinguished persons, who have rendered out¬ standing service to the college, may be elected as honorary members.

Brother Finbarr, consists of History, Sociology and Economics majors. The varied activities of the club are religious, social intellectual and athletic. Each year, the I.R.C. spon¬ sors a Communion Breakfast, a dance, and forums on contempo rary events and the role of the Church in our socio-economic world. The members of this club are found engaged in all phases of extra-cur¬ ricular life in and around the College. It has been our policy to promote the pre-eminence of St. Fran¬ cis College by our interest in civil and national affairs and by participating fully in collegiate life. 67 In the year 1906 two important events occurred on the American scene, Theodore Teddy’ Roosevelt received the Nobel Peace Prize, and Pi Alpha Fraternity of St. Francis College was formed. In that year, Father Owen J. Smith and eight students formed Pi Alpha. Since then, it has gained a reputation for loyalty and friendship, has become the traditional mainstay of college spirit and the bulwark of Franciscanism. Some anonymous historian once wrote, concerning his frat brothers . . the Pi Alpha man is a good student, a faithful Catholic, and ‘one of the boys,’ ... he drinks beer, goes out with working girls, spends his days in class, his nights out, and his money on weekends ... he is proud of his fraternity and prouder of St. Francis College.” 68 0 Stan the pitchman, Metaphysical basis for fraternal existence ■■■■■■ Four part disharmony. Ballet dancer by a nose. A drink from the wishing well??? P tYf Bl O pi At the invitation of the Alpha Chapter of Phi Rho Pi at Man¬ hattan College, a group of St. Francis College men pledged them¬ selves to this society and received the charter for its Beta Chapter. Immediately after its inception, Phi Rho Pi began to stimu¬ late school spirit and social activity at Saint Francis College. Within a year the frat had begun a newspaper which was in¬ tended to be strictly fraternal; but then perceiving the demand for a student newspaper, it relinquished title to The Voice, and turned it over to the student body in general. In the selection of their members the men of Phi Rho Pi have looked for qualities of fellowship, sportsmanship, and coopera¬ tion in a candidate rather than high scholastic rating or athletic prowess; but Phi Rho Pi is proud of the fact that it numbers among its members nn ny outstanding scholars and athletes. 70 Dance of the Comedians.

In September, 1952, the Humanities Club was founded for the purpose of “develop¬ ing and stimulating an appreciation and evaluation of the literary and cultural contributions of the civilized nations of the world.” The club offered the individual student the opportunity to develop, through informal gatherings at the College and visits to the cinema, opera and museums of the city, his knowl¬ edge of the arts and sciences which have engrossed and inspired the lives of men. The activities of the Club are designed to meet the tastes of all the members. Last year’s program included lectures on French and Grecian Architecture,.Modern Art, Spanish Painting, and Shakespearean England, each presentation being illustrated by excellent color slides. In a somewhat lighter vein was the French-German-Italian musical soiree, which fea¬ tured group singing of the national folk songs. The Humanities Club is currently offering a program which promises its members even more in the way of enlightenment and enter¬ tainment. The past year saw the organization of a new club to foster the interest and aims of stu¬ dents enrolled in the School of Business Administration. Owing to the enthusiasm of Mr. Riley, the club moderator, and several conscientious students, the club enjoyed an active year. Visits by influential business men and government agents provided a needed supplement to classroom activity. Joe McGloin, who worked diligently with the Army-bound Gene Alphonsin to found the club, was elected president, Bob Burns, secretary; Dan Walsh, treasurer; Leo Keegan, Student Council representative; and newcomer Ralph Infantino, historian. The members of them¬ selves initiated a sound policy and tradition which will be the basis for the continual prosperity of the club. 72 The Mendel Club, the oldest extra-curricular organization of the college, has as its pri¬ mary aim the stimulation of interest in the biological field. By its program of lectures, tours, and demonstrations, the club hopes to inspire biology majors with a constructive interest in the field. We feel that the club can render the best service to its members by encouraging the formation of contracts with industry and familiarizing them with the practical methods of prominent organizations. The Indicator Club consists of all science majors in the field of Chemistry. The club has participated in field trips to local chemical plants where lecture room matter became indus¬ trial reality. Aside from the field trips, the Indicator Club holds bi-monthly meetings during which a lecture is given or a documentary film shown. The Club is a member of the National American Chemical Society. 73 OOfie (Olden The Third Order is a laymen’s order founded by St. Francis of Assisi in order that people in the world may lead a more spir¬ itual life. The members do not take vows, but participate in the numerous graces and bene¬ fits accorded by the Church to the Franciscans. The Vocation Club at St. Francis College has a two-fold function: one, to serve as a medium of religious activities for the members; and two, to supervise all religious activities of the college with the approval of the Spiritual Director. 74 The National Students Asso¬ ciation is composed of dele¬ gates from over 250 colleges throughout the nation. Work¬ ing through campus commit¬ tees, regional assemblies and commissions, the organization provides an authoritative voice for responsible student opinion. It offers services in social, eco¬ nomic and cultural endeavors as well as educational opportu¬ nities and international study programs. a I m IbdadUBS 3JJ R n □ ml 1 HliKA : m Lm L lm - - A me, The Federation was formed to develope lay Catholic leader¬ ship.

The play was written by William McCleary. Pulled together by Moderator Brother Celestine and President Anthony Puglisi, and with the aid of several personable young ladies from various colleges, this year’s production was one of the finest in the long line of plays presented by the College.

For the second straight year, The Voice was edited by Edward Quigley who restored the paper to a bi-weekly basis. Associate Editor Bernard Veney, besides contribut¬ ing many controversial and timely columns, gathered the flock of reporters and in general assured and reassured the editor that It’s allright Ed, take it easy! In Thomas McCarthy and John DeRiso, Managing Editor and News Editor respectively, The Voice had two excellent men. Tom worked exceedingly hard to integrate all departments and handled the newer staff members. John cracked a professional whip that would do justice to the best City-Editor fashion. Both were invaluable assistants. The Feature Department, was again under the capa¬ ble supervision of Anthony Puglisi. Tony provided col¬ umns brimming with satire, humor and insight. The Sports Department, headed by peppy Dan Walsh gave profes¬ sional coverage to the successes and occasional failures of the various St. Francis intercollegiate teams, as well as to the intramural program.

Denotes Knickerbocker Intercollegiate Baseball Conference game For the second straight year, the Terrier Baseball squad entered the new Knickerbocker Baseball Confer¬ ence. The nucleus of the squad was comprised of hard¬ hitting centerfielder Gerry Lenze, and his dependable brother Jack on the first base sack. Pitching was depend¬ ent on Tom Loughery, a sophomore who proved his metal as a varsity man last year, and on veteran Jack Lenze. Many underclassmen reported to tryouts and the prospects were for a ‘green’ team with pitching, as usual, the questionable factor. Two sophs, Ralph D’Amato and Tom Powers, were also on the starting team occupying the left field and catching posts respectively. Out at the plate. ' y ' V The flash of the outfield, Gerry Lenze.
