Text from Pages 1 - 212 of the 1960 volume:

WAYNE J. WISDOM Editor-in-Chief the senior class presents JOSEPH WALKER Associate Editor SALVATORE ALLOCCO Associate Editor 4 Jfnmcts (E allege 35 BUTLER STREET BROOKLYN 31. NEW YORK OFFICE OF PRESIDENT Dear Graduates: The opportunity presented you to achieve the objectives and goals of St. Francis College underlies the theme of the 1960 FRANCISCAN. This evaluation in terms of each area of collegiate activity probes the depths of educational philosophy. You have observed that the intellectual, spiritual, social, cultural and vocational aims of the college have been translated into practical terms by the faculty and you have stated the manner in which St. Francis approaches basic educational problems. In the dedication of the Yearbook, you have singled out two of the most distinguished educators that it has been my pleasure to know. St. Francis College is indeed fortunate and honored that they have devoted themselves to promoting her objectives. These men represent the wide scope of the faculty— the depth of intellectual research and Christian social living. Professor Clement Jedrzejewski, the intent scholar, the wise adviser, the inspiring teacher, receives his greatest reward when one of his students enters the teaching profession. Professor “Clement” envisions the teaching profession as the salvation of a confused and divided world. Professor Nicholas Fiorenza, the dynamic teacher, the gifted artist, the respected activity moderator, has exemplified to thousands of St. Francis students the happy combination of intellectual competence and social graciousness. He receives a profound satisfaction when his former students combine successful careers with cultural refinement. Important in the evaluation of a college is its faculty who provide the inspiration which includes the excitement of intellectual challenge, insatiable thirst for knowledge, earnest search for truth, and humble appreciation of the true meaning of life. By honoring Professor Jedrzejewski and Professor Fiorenza, you ha ve honored the entire faculty. The faculty of St. Francis College is dedicated to encouraging undergraduate students to live well in the City of Man that they might eventually be worthy of the City of God. You have recognized the fact that the manner in which each member of the Class of 1960 approaches the realization of the objectives of St. Francis College determines the success or failure of his Franciscan education. You are to be complimented on accepting the challenge of such a difficult theme for your Yearbook and particularly on arriving at such an honest conclusion. The prayers of all St. Francis College go with you in your efforts to realize Alma Maters high objectives. The Board of Trustees, Administration, Faculty, Alumni and the undergraduate student body congratulate you on your graduation and on your hopes for the future. Sincerely yours in St. Francis Brother Urban, O.S.F. President Reverend Brother Urban, O.S.F., Ph.D. 5 PRESIDENT DEDICATION OF THE Doctor LL.D., Ph.D. Clement “The intent scholar, the wise adviser, the inspiring teacher . . ” “Today I feel good; tomorrow will be worse!” This philosophy of life has helped Doctor Clement Jedrzejewski enjoy the good in each day to the fullest because it is unexpected. The students know this profound yet humble scholar s imply as “Doctor Clement.” And it is Doctor Clement who very simply inspires the students toward the completion of the final portion of the measure of the whole man. He has found the secret treasure; he is a whole man. He is the true idea of the Franciscan gentleman. This Professor of Social Studies carries Franciscan ideals outside the college as he and some of his students work with the Downtown Area Renewal Effort, in his connection with other campuses in New York and in numerous educational circles. Doctor Clement is not only a symbol of the whole man; he is the whole man! To this model for the students we humbly dedicate the 1960 Franciscan. Gesturing in his inimitable manner, Doctor Clement stresses a vital point during his Anthropology class. V 1 6 Doctor Clement enjoys a brief chat with a colleague and several of his sociology students. I960 FRANCISCAN Professor Nicholas A. Fiorenza, M.A. “The dynamic teacher , the gifted artist , the respected activity moderator . . .” The man who is to be a whole man must develop himself culturally. No matter what climate of life he is in, winds from the other climates blow in and intermingle. In these phrases, we capture the aspect Professor Nicholas A. Fiorenza aims for in the completion of the student. He is called the student’s teacher” in that he works with the student on the course material rather than just with the subject. The tools of Professor Fiorenza’s contribution—experi¬ ence, and more specifically the aesthetic experience. In class and in his relationship to the student as teacher and friend, he stands out as instructor, adviser, companion and invaluable associate; for Professor Fiorenza is the faculty member who is closest in his relationships to the students. To this truly many-faceted whole man, we dedicate the 1960 Franciscan in the spirit which he dedicates his life to the students of St. Francis College. “Fortissimo,” urges Professor Fiorenza.

Page 190 IN MEMORIAM During the Summer of 1959, three of our most beloved and revered educators passed on to their eternal reward. Absent from the halls of St. Francis are Reverend Brother Jerome, O.S.F., Professor Francis A. Delaney and Professor Patrick J. DeTuro. It is only fitting and right that we dedicate a small portion of the 1960 Franciscan to their memory, and in so doing offer the homage that is their due. Certainly we in our insignificance cannot properly evaluate them; only God is their Judge. We can measure them in relation to the good that they have done for us, their pupils. They gave a full measure . . . Reverend Brother Jerome, O.S.F. Educator, Administrator, Franciscan Brother Jerome Roese, O.S.F., combined these qualities skillfully and magnificently in a superb blend called the man of God. In his twenty-five years at St. Francis College, Brother Jerome assumed the duties of Dean, President, member of the Third Order Regular’s Board of Consultors and Superior General of the Franciscan Brothers. In tribute to Brother Jerome’s devotion to his Order and his students, a memorial scholarship was inaugurated to provide a deserving Catholic youth with a four year Franciscan education. Professor Francis A. Delaney, M.A. “Though the trains he not on time, This class starts at nine ” Variations of this refrain were one of Professor Francis A. Delaneys trademarks in the college where he taught for twenty-five years. During this quarter of a century of dedicated service to the students, he was the competent instructor, the eager moderator, the reassuring friend. It is not difficult to measure this man’s worth to our college; indeed, he is greatly missed. For the first time in twenty-five years, the Dean’s Oratorical Contest was not presided over by its inaugurator, Professor Delaney. A unanimous Student Council suggestion pro¬ posed renaming the contest the Professor Francis A. Delaney Memorial Oratorical Contest. Professor Patrick J. DeTuro, M.B.A. The winning smile, the warm casual manner, the air of a truly excellent teacher: this is the magic St. Francis College lost in Patrick J. DeTuro. Professor DeTuro came to St. Francis in Sep¬ tember, 1957, after many years of teaching and a tenure as Senior Economist for the Office of Price Administration. Economics was his field, and the stock market his forte; he was a member of Pi Alpha Kappa, a financial Honor Society and was influential in establishing a chapter of Omicron Chi Epsilon, the Economic Fraternity, here at St. Francis. In his few years on the faculty, Professor DeTuro commanded respect and admiration in and out of the classroom. What is a more fitting tribute than to have a completed task perfectly accomplished. 13 Officers of Administration THE MOST REVEREND BRYAN J. McENTEGART, D.D., LL.D.

Me Entegart, D.D., LL.D. Bishop of Brooklyn 15 REVEREND BROTHER URBAN, O.S.F., Ph.D. President The President is the highest officer of Administration. To his office is assigned the task of coordinating all functions of college administration from day-to-day operations to the formulation and execution of long-range plans. Brother Urban has been the impetus behind the expansion and development program, which has included recent accreditation as a major achievement. Physical expansion of facilities and a continued drive toward scholastic excellence motivate his every effort. Brother Urban places last year’s Franciscan among previous annals of college history with the aid of his secretary, Mrs. Ann Tritini. 16 The title President Emeritus is be¬ stowed upon a man as an honor for his past accomplishments and his con¬ tinuing efforts in behalf of the college and her students. Few men have reached, or will ever reach, the stature of Brother Columba, a man whose very presence is felt by all around him. Dedicated to Francis¬ can ideals, Brother Columba has given to us a full measure of the man of God. His teaching, his guidance, his friend¬ ship and friendliness are more a part of St. Francis College, more a trade-mark of true Franciscanism, than mere words can convey. REVEREND BROTHER COLUMBA, O.S.F., LL.D. President Emeritus Brother Columba pauses while making Iris daily rounds of the campus. 17 REVEREND BROTHER BERNARD, O.S.F., M.A. Vice President in Charge of Development Brother Bernard, the Executive Vice President in Charge of Development, must formulate and administrate the changes and growth at St. Francis College. His office is concerned with both physical expansion and academic recog¬ nition. Programs are designed and executed for the acquisition of the means necessary to the realization of these goals. Typical of the advances made is the institution of another scholarship pro¬ gram through the inauguration of the Loyalty Fund Campaign. Mrs. Jeanette Levangie and Mrs. Frances Corrigan assist Brother Bernard in measuring the results of the Loyalty Fund Campaign. 18 The office of the Dean is a position unlike any other in the administrative hierarchy. From this office must emerge the policies which will most directly affect every student. It is from Brother Henry’s office that policies concerning such basic elements of academic life as curriculum, student scholastic standings, reg¬ istration and examination procedures and disci¬ pline originate, and through his office, these policies are executed. His office must constantly revise and modernize all administration pro¬ cedures. This enables St. Francis College to offer each student the fullest opportunity for intellectual, spiritual and social development. REVEREND BROTHER HENRY, O.S.F., Ph.D. Dean Brother Henry scales student achievement, measuring scholastic development and growth at St. Francis. 19 REVEREND BROTHER ROGER, O.S.F., Ph.D. Treasurer Miss Marie Trapp, Mr. James Mahon, Mrs. Rita Burke and Mrs. Lula Arancio are Brother Rogers assistants. REVEREND BROTHER ALEXANDER, O.S.F., B.S. Registrar Mrs. Patricia Seeley assists Mrs. Ruth Murphy rearrange one of the many file cabinets which keep the Registrar’s records. 20 REVEREND BROTHER TERENCE, O.S.F. Administrative Assistant JOSEPH CASTRONOVO, Nl.B.A. Director of Evening Sessions PAUL DOLAN, M.A. Assistant Director of Admissions Mr. Dolan considers the College Board scores as a part of the measure for admission. 21 REVEREND BROTHER PHILIP, O.S.F., Ph.D. Director of Student Personnel Services GEORGE LOUGHRAN, M.S. Guidance Counselor The aim of Student Personnel Services is to assist the student in his successful adjustment to St. Francis College. This division of administration attempts to guide and counsel the student in his educational, vocational, personal and spiritual development. These objectives are furthered through personal and group orientation, testing and counseling. The success of these programs is measured only by what the students of St. Francis have gained from them. Brother Philip measures the success of the Sopho¬ more Class with Miss Elizabeth Hallowell following the Sophomore Testing Program. REVEREND EDWARD SALERNO, O.F.M, Cap. REVEREND BROTHER AUGUSTINE, O.F.S., Chaplain M.S. Director of Placement PATRICK TUFANO, M.S.S. Psychiatric Social Worker It is the duty of the Library to make available to the student the books and periodicals necessary for research and information pertinent to his courses. Likewise, it must offer the student ample reading material for leisure enjoyment. Realizing the importance of its responsibility, the staff of the Library has constantly expanded its facilities. In the past several years, the Library has grown in size until it now occupies the entire second floor of the main building. More than thirty thousand volumes comprise its working nucleus, and it currently subscribes to over three hundred periodicals. Also accessible are stacks of bound and unbound pamphlets, periodicals, newspapers and government publications, as well as microfilms of the New York Times and a new record-lending service. Brother Anthelm discusses the merits of a novel with Miss Evelyn Cuff before placing it in the fiction section. Selection of appropriate material is one of the fun¬ damental tasks of Brother Anthelm and Miss Cufi. REVEREND BROTHER ANTHELM, O.S.F., M.L.S. Librarian ROBERT SCHWABACHER, M.L.S. Assistant Librarian REVEREND BROTHER JOSEPH, O.S.F., B.S. Assistant in Library REVEREND BROTHER DANIEL, O.S.F. Assistant in Library DANIEL J. LYNCH, M.A. Director of Athletics Brother Pascal addresses Phi Rho Pi Fraternity at its Communion Breakfast. REVEREND BROTHER PASCAL, O.S.F., Ph.D. Director of Student Activities St. Francis College offers a broad and varied program of extracurricular activities geared to the development of each student. It is the goal of the Director of Student Activities and his staff to coordinate the various clubs and activities of the college, and to keep the relations between these activities and the Administration on an even keel. The Student Activities Program is supervised by a Faculty Committee on Student Activities and the Student Council, and operates under the Office of the Director of Student Activities. The officers of each club are elected by members of the club and assisted in their duties by a qualified faculty moderator. REVEREND BROTHER ISIDORE O.S.F., M.A. Assistant Director of Student Activities The task of the Public Relations Office is to make St. Francis College more widely known. Dissemination of information about the college, its programs and accomplishments promotes wider public recognition and interest. Personal contacts with representatives in educational and industrial circles and a program designed to channel pertinent information to all media of communications insure a continuance of good public relations.

DRUM, B.A. Director of Public Relations EDWARD QUIGLEY, B.A. Publicity Director Public Relations Director, John Drum, pauses to approve a press release prepared by his secretary, Miss Jessie Valentino. 25 HUMANITIES Reverend Brother Camillus, O.S.F., Ph.D. Chairman Professor of Modern Lan¬ guages . . . chairman of the Humanities Division . . . moderator of the Senior Class, Humanities Club, and Semper Fi Club . . . earned B.S. at Saint John’s University, M.A. at Fordham Univer¬ sity, and Ph.D. at Colum¬ bia University. The Division of Humanities seeks to instill in the student an appreciation of the creative as¬ pect of man’s life and to develop his ability to interpret these creative acts as reflecting the infinite beauty and wisdom of God. This is best achieved by developing good taste through a knowledge of man’s thoughts and ideas as expressed in his language, literature, music and art. The Division has attempted to give greater opportunity for the creative expression of its students by allowing English majors to do an original project for graduation in place of the usual comprehensive examina¬ tion. Further, it can proudly boast of being the Division from which the two winners of the coveted National Woodrow Wilson Fellowships have come in the past few years.

The division has made a significant stride toward the achievement of its goals by the recent inauguration of an internship program that provides excellent practical experience in both private and public accounting for many graduating seniors.

McSHERRY B.B.A., Economics Most Holy Trinity High School SENIOR RETREAT After each meal th6 seniors on retreat joined in the Stations of the Most Blessed Sacrament, a devotion peculiar to the Fran¬ ciscan Order. Several hours were set aside each day for spiritual reading. John Sullivan, Ron Wasielew- ski and Wayne Wisdom browse through the well stocked library. 86 Father Joachim, O.F.M., retreat master, discussed many interesting topics during the three day period. Simple though comfortable quarters made pri¬ vate contemplation a rewarding experience during the retreat. Informal chats during the day enabled the seniors on‘retreat to discuss further many of the topics treated by Father Joachim. 87 Commencement is the culmination of the student ' s attempts to measure up to the ideals of Franciscan education. But a degree from St. Francis College should signify more than the successful com¬ pletion of four years of scholastic en¬ deavor. Studies alone will not produce the ‘whole man.” St. Francis is so organized as to afford the student ample outlets for the social as well as the contemplative, the physical as well as the spiritual, the athletic as well as the intellectual development. It is up to the student himself to combine these aspects of his education so as to strike a healthy balance between them. Total concentration on one can only be to the detriment of the others. The true Franciscan is the student who has combined all these aspects of his education to the best of his ability and in the proportion best suited to his in¬ dividual needs. The time he has spent at St. Francis will be paying dividends for the rest of his life. The rate of in¬ terest will depend in large measure upon the wisdom he has exercised in the utilization of that time. Ron Wasielewski and Jack Fitzgerald assist Wayne Wisdom in determining the size academic gown he will need for the Commencement exercises. COMMENCEMENT Doctor Clement leads the faculty members into the Academy of Music in academic procession. 88 Mr. Castronovo places the hood on the shoulders of a graduate just before he is presented with his degree. Most Reverend Brian J. McEntegart presents the degree and congratulates a graduate. A graduating Josephite is presented with her degree by Bishop McEntegart while Mr. Castronovo adjusts the hood of another Sister. The Bishop exhorts the graduates in his address to give God and Country the full measure of their potential after graduation. 89 JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS President ---Frank Ferguson V ice-President -William Walsh Secretary ...Martin O’Donnell Treasurer. ---Joseph Walker FRANK FERGUSON President Kneeling: Vincent J.

Brother Pascal worked intently in his new office as the primary link between the extracurricular programs and the administration. Freshman orientation week was a long, grueling period for the incoming students. Talks were given on all imaginable subjects designed to ease the “awkward” frosh into college life. Beanies, the mark of the “newcomer ’were dis¬ tributed by the student group leaders prior to hazing week. 100 The Glee Club was one of the most im¬ proved and most active of the student activities this year. Under the guiding hand of Professor Fiorenza, the Club practiced many hours each week and gave several renditions during the dedication of the Moran Courts, and the Christmas assembly. Practice sessions began for the Glee Club immediately upon school’s opening. Mr. Edward Quigley, the new Publicity Direc¬ tor, an alumnus of St. Francis, became the moderator of the Press Club. The club worked closely with Mr. Quigleys office in collecting, writing and distributing press releases. The Terrier Baseball season ended in October. On Octo¬ ber 3rd, because of the near-perfect pitching of Artie Beyer and the clutch hitting of Joe Toto, the Terriers defeated Siena and gained third place in the Iona Baseball Tournament. The decisive run in the 5-2 win was pushed across on a squeeze play in the eighth inning. Phi Rho dogging ran through the week of October 19th. Fourteen students completed the iQl rigors of the week’s activities and were welcomed as brothers of Phi Rho Pi. HIGHLIGHTS Continued Pi Alpha, the oldest fraternity at St. Francis, held its dogging festivities during the week of October 26th. One of the unforgettable routines was Dick Flynn’s imitations JP makeshift T.V. set. Flynn ran the gamut from Marilyn Monroe to Fidel Castro. Pi Alpha initiated nine men following “hell night. Ceremonies dedicating the Reverend Edward A. Moran Student Court were held on October 28th Following a short talk, Father Moran blessed a statue of St. Francis overlooking the Court area. Father Moran is an alumnus of St. Francis College and is pastor of St. Sebastians, Woodside. Unmoved by the nippy coolness of autumn, the students found time between classes to partici¬ pate in tlie basketball intramurals. Three-man teams vied for intramural honors. Bill Cahill displayed fine fonn during the tennis intramurals. Cahill was the outstand¬ ing participant during the program, playing in all scheduled events. The Annual I.R.C. Political Symposium dealt with management-labor relations and problems. Representing the National Association of Manufacturers was Mr. Edward Maher. Touch football became one of the most popular between-class activities during late October and November. Many students participated in the intramural program, others merely “chose sides” during free periods. pi alpha FRANCIS A COLLEGE FRATERNITY Pi Alpha obtained a frat house during the summer and, after renovation operations were completed, Archon John Meudt proudly hung the fraternity’s banner with the aid of Pat Calhoun and Fred Schneider. The new house soon became a center for relaxation and study during school hours, and an ideal locale for holding socials. The first student communion breakfast was sponsored by Phi Rho Pi on November 1st. Brother Pascal highlighted the 103 affair with a talk on authority. Following in Phi Rho’s footsteps, the Association of Evening Business Students, Pi Alpha and the Veterans Club held successful breakfasts in April. HIGHLIGHTS Continued lo help defray the costs to the seniors of their June Prom, the Senior Class sponsored a dance on November 6th. This dance, coupled with a successful co-op campaign, enabled the cost of prom bids to be reduced considerably. Realizing the necessity of having the students well informed concerning their future military obligations, permission was given to the various branches of the Armed Services to distribute information and recruit members for their Officer Training Programs. The Annual Thanksgiving Dance, sponsored by Pi Alpha Fraternity, was held on November 27th at the Hotel New Yorker’s Terrace Room. The dance was the social highlight of the year. doctor Carpino brought a new spirit to the Philoso¬ phy Club this year through his series of lectures on communism. The club also invited several disting¬ uished lecturers to talk to the students on currently popular topics. A group of students enjoy one of Doctor Carpino s anecdotes following a meeting. The Troupers opened their season in late November with a presenta tion of Bus Stop. Elaine Pentony, Bill McCormick and John O’Connoi were among the cast. The play was produced.by Jim Green and directed by Brother Giles, Trouper moderator. 104 Fred Schneider drives in for two points during the second game of the season. The Terriers ripped C. W. Post 75-50. After a strong start, the Terriers ended the season with a 13 and 8 record. Several students found the Lounge “off limits” on December 8th. The reason was the Red Cross Blood Drive. The annual blood drive netted the college blood bank an additional 105 pints of needed blood. A group of students go through a phase of the pre-donation check-up. The Marine Corps’ Platoon Leaders Course offers many advantages to the undergraduate. Several times during the year the Corps sent representatives to campus to inform the students of these benefits. 105 HIGHLIGHTS Continued December 16th was the final day of classes before the Christmas holidays. Highlighting the assembly was an address by Brother Urban, several popular Christmas numbers rendered by the Campus Tones and a selection of hymns sung by the Glee Club. A surprise came at the assembly’s close when Joe Murphy presented a gift from the student body to Mrs. McDermott for her wonderful work in the Lounge. Dr. George Westerman, Panamanian Ambassador to the United Nations, addressed the student body on December 9th. Dr. Westerman discussed the state of United States- Panama relations. The talk was sponsored by the I.R.C. The Veterans Club held several socials for members and alumni at the Baron DeKalb Knights of Columbus during November and December. The club also conducted a highly successful Toy Drive at Christmas time. Alumnus Les Bishop and his date share a table with the Finans and the Wisdoms. Richie Dryer hits for two points as the Terriers overcome a strong Siena team. The Frosh basketball team did not enjoy a winning season, losing several close games. Jim Raftrey sets for two points in a losing cause against St. John’s. 106 Phi Rho Pi held its 40th Annual Ball on January 23rd in the Colonial Room of the Sheraton-Atlantic Hotel. Two hundred couples attended the affair. Sal Messineo led a gay conga line as the dancers weaved among the guests tables. Members of the Senior Class made a dosed three day retreat between January 23rd and 27th. The class was divided into three groups, two going to Mount Alverno, the third to the Thud Order Villa. Devotions wer held out-of-doors by the seniors on retreat rwmmiH ' Pn. The closing day of the underclass retreat found most of the students at the communion rail, the perfect ending of a good retreat. In late January, a group of students met in the Lounge where plans for the Loyalty Fund Cam- paign were unfolded to them by Brother Urban. The drive, dedicated to the memory of Brother Jerome, began in February and ran until April 11th. A goal of 100% student participation was set. 107 HIGHLIGHTS Continued First Friday Masses were said in either St. Pauls Church or the college chapel. On February 5th, Mass was of¬ fered at St. Paul’s with a good portion of the student body in attendance. LeMoyne defeated St. Francis 77-66 ending the Terrier’s unbeaten hold on first place in the M.E.C.A.A. Conference. Hank O’Lee’s attempt was in vain as the Terriers closed to within two points of tieing the score in the second half. The traditional pep rally before the St. Francis-St. John’s game was the cleverest to hit the campus in many years. The rally included an ample portion of good hearted downgrading of the “Redmen” and the happy display of the “missing” St. John’s mat. The Terriers were edged by the N.I.T.-bound Redmen in their 49th meeting. 108 A job clinic was conducted by Mr. Stuart Campbell of the New York Life Insurance Company on February 19th. The clinic, under the direction of Brother Donald, aimed to acquaint the students with the type of interview they will receive after graduation. nuasci lISTIEff e “luck o’ the Irish” failed to sway the weatherman this St. Patrick’s Day. the stouthearted sons of Erin braved the snow and the cold to represent Francis College in the parade. The contingent was led by Tun Courtney ke Henning, Joe Murphy and Bill McCormick carrying the College colors. The Junior Class held its dance on February 26th at the Hotel New Yorker. Among the evenings festivities was a drawing for a basket of cheer. Frank Ferguson and Joe Walker eagerly await the lucky ticket. Commencement marked the termination of another year at St. Francis College, and the end of tour years of Franciscan education for the graduates. A one act play, Mirbeau’s The Epidemic, was presented by the Troupers on February 28th in the Lounge. The play, directed by John O’Connor and produced by Jim Green featured Sal Allocco, John Richetti, Robert Peyton and Dick Flynn. The Math Club enjoyed a successful year of activities. Meetings included group discussions, lectures by prominent men and practical ap¬ plication of learned principles. The club also conducted several field trips. LOYALTY FUND CAMPAIGN The Loyalty Fund Campaign was instituted this year to establish the Brother Jerome Memorial Scholarship Fund. Every four years, this scholarship will entitle a deserving Catholic youth to a full Franciscan education. But more than this, the success of the drive was to be a measure of the loyalty of St. Francis students to their college, and of their confidence and concern for its development and improvement. A goal was set, captains and stewards appointed to collect funds, and a six week period was set aside to measure up to the goal. With typical Franciscan en¬ thusiasm, the drive was held, the results were tallied and the goal was realized. REVEREND BROTHER BERNARD, O.S.F. Administration President of the Fund Brother Urban addressed the students during the initial stages of the drive to feel the measure of its popularity with the student body. Brothers Bernard and Camillus and leaders of the Senior Class, Bill McCormick, John Ferguson, Joseph Rand and Vincent Polito, plan the distribution of percentages to the Senior Class in order to evaluate their class percentage. Discussing ideas concerning the steward system which was finally adopted, Brother Bernard asks Wayne Wisdom for his reaction to John and Bill McCormick ' s suggestion. JOSEPH MURPHY Student President of the Loyalty Fund 110 The Junior Class representatives plan collection strategy. Bob Campatano, Dom Molignano, Joe Walker, Carmine Allocco (back to camera) Frank Ferguson, Ed Brophy and (standing) John McCormick attend the Loyalty Fund s organizational meeting in February. Sophomores discuss class reaction to the first announcement of the Loyalty Fund. Joe Lynch injects commentary into the conversa¬ tion on the opposite side of the table, in¬ cluding Brother Anthelm, Class Moderator, George Festa, Jim Hudson and Dave Lopez. The Freshmen rally behind Class Moderator Brother Simeon as progress is made toward the class percentage. Stewards and captains included Joseph Addiego, Joseph Faiello, Jo¬ seph Gargiulo, Vincent DiClemente and Mark Thomas. Ill STUDENT COUNCIL Members of the Franciscan Spirit Award Committee chose fourteen winners; Council members added two more. John Ferguson, Sal Allocco, Joe Murphy, Dick Flynn, Sal Messinco and John O’Connor composed the committee. JOSEPH MURPHY President The Student Council is constituted to coordinate and administrate the extracurricular activities of the college. It is a representative organization whose delegates are chosen by popular election from the individual clubs and classes. The Council is responsible for the formula¬ tion of the official scholastic social calendar, and handles the Student Activities, Franciscan Spirit and Who ' s Who awards as well as the Blood Drive, appointment of Stu¬ dent Group Leaders and the annual participation in the St. Patricks Day Parade. The Student Council was instrumental in obtaining needed improvements by intercession for the student body to the Administration. Likewise, the Council ob¬ tained student parking privileges, encouraged the addi¬ tion of a student lounge to the Court Street facilities, and initiated the Loyalty Fund Drive. Sunday stag dances were another Council innovation. The goal of the Student Council is adequate and effective representation for the clubs and the individual student. Diligent exercise of its representative powers is the measure of its success. 112 JOHN O’CONNOR Vice President WILLIAM McCORMICK Secretary Brother Urban addressed the Council members upon presentation of the Student Loyalty Fund idea to him. A break finds Joe Murphy explaining pro¬ cedure to Mike Rossiter; Bill McCormick and Dorn Molignano discuss the Court Street Lounge plans; John McCormick’s attention is diverted. i « JOHN FERGUSON Treasurer Frank Avenoso and Ed Brophy expound the Weight Lifting Club’s proposed constitution. SALVATORE ALLOCCO Parliamentarian STUDENT COUNCIL Continued President Murphy was elected by the student body on a simple ma¬ jority vote following an indecisive election. Thirteen seniors were elected to Who ' s Who Among Students ... by Council approval of the committee ' s selections. Members of the committee included Bill McCormick, John Fitzgerald, John O ' Connor, Sal Allocco and Joe Murphy. The report by Jim Hudson, Bill Walsh and Dom Molignano aided toward installment of lockers in the Court Street Lounge. t 1 Jim O’Connor and Frank Macchia- rola listen to Ed Brophy ' s argu¬ ment for student parking on the Moran Courts during the winter months. 114 Sal Allocco argues for the nominal donation to the Loyalty Fund, while Vinny Polito, Ed Brophy, Joe Lopez and Mike Henning debate the issue. The Blood Drive netted 105 pints due to the work and campaigning of committeemen George Festa, Bill Walsh, Joe Murphy (seated), Jerry Atkins, Joe Crowley, and Jim Hudson. Bill and John McCormick listen to Dick Flynns optimistic views concerning the social calendar; most weekends were filled by activities. Major action is taken by the Council to aid the clubs in the college. Representatives Buzinkai, Maguire and Ferguson (front row), and Fitzgerald, Walsh, Fallon, Allocco, Messineo and Molignano contributed to much discussion concerning slumping school spirit. SALVATORE ALLOCCO JOHN FERGUSON WHO’S WHO AMONG STUDENTS IN AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES JOHN FITZGERALD GERARD GANNON JAMES GREEN JAMES LEONARD 116 JOHN MEUDT JOSEPH MURPHY WILLIAM McCORMICK JOHN O’CONNOR Thirteen students have been chosen for inclusion in the 1959-1960 edition of Who ' s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. Selections were made on the basis of scholarship, participation and leadership in academic and extracurricular activities, citizenship, service to the school and promise of future achievements. The students recognized by this organization each year are nominated from approximately 750 colleges and universities throughout the United States. The task of selecting thirteen men from the entire senior class for this honor was not an easy one, and the Student Council Awards Committee spent many arduous hours of comparison, evaluation and contemplation before the students were chosen and their names submitted. More was required of the candidates than nominal membership in an impressive number of activities. Each applicant was carefully scrutinized with an eye to the actual contribution he made to the activities in which he professed participation. Nor was scholastic aptitude ignored, for an index of at least 2.00 was prerequisite for consideration. These thirteen men were selected by the committee, approved by the Student Council and accepted in toto for inclusion in the 1960 edition of Whos Who . . . Brieflly stated, they were measured . . . and they measured up. JOSEPH RAND GEORGE SZTABNIK WAYNE J. WISDOM 1 IT PATRICK TONRA President MATH CLUB It is the aim of the Math Club to provide a deepening of interest, enjoyment and appreciation of the world of mathematics, and to provide aid to those students who might encounter diffi¬ culties in measuring up to the requirements of their mathematics courses. Various trips were taken to companies whose work might be of interest; guest speakers addressed several club meetings; and, at the annual career night, successful alumni returned to discuss the opportunities available in their particular fields. Brother Leo, chairman of the Math Department, presents scholarship trophies to Frank Regan and James Addiego, winners of the 1959 Bishop McEntegart Scholarship sponsored by the Math Club. Gabe Regal tests an experiment in gravity as members Jim Crosby, v John Meudt, Bill Lawlor, and Pat Tonra look on. “Meudt! Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten your sliderule again.” 118 THIRD ORDER Alumni Tom Bligh, Jim Konkel, A1 Doumar and Martin Boyle measure the growth and success of the Third Order of St. Francis since their college days. HAROLD CLINES President Brother Alexander, Moderator, and Jim Green enjoy a cheerful note from an alumnus. The Third Order of Saint Francis is a layman’s order founded by Saint Francis of Assisi in order that people of the world may lead a more perfect life. Tertiaries take no vows. They participate in the numerous graces and benefits accorded by the Church to the Franciscan Order. The ultimate goal of the Third Order is the salvation of souls, and the members are afforded a special means through various prayers and religious exercises. Monthly meetings are held in order to gain the benefits of public worship, and to encourage new membership. Prayers and Benediction follow each monthly meeting. I HUMANITIES CLUB The purpose of the Humanities Club is to develop and stimulate an appreciation of the literary and cultural contributions of all peoples. Membership enables students to cultivate dis¬ cerning cultural taste and to develop valid standards by which to measure noteworthy efforts in the realms of music, literature and art. In addition to meetings and lectures, the group sponsored record concerts and excursions to museums, operas and ballets. JAMES GREEN President “Two films will be presented in the next two months, The Man of Aran and Michelangelo ” The latter participated in symposiums, panel discussions, literature lectures and exhibits. announced Jim Green to the student members. John O’Connor (center) reviews his outlines for the literature discussion with Jim Green (left) and John Richetti (right).

Those students who fulfill the require¬ ments will be commissioned second lieutenants in the Marine Corps upon graduation. Monthly meetings help to prepare the aspiring stu¬ dents by presenting informative lectures on many phases of Marine life. These lecture s, coupled with several sum¬ mer sessions at Marine training reservations, will eventu¬ ally enable the student to measure up to the rigid standards of the Marine Corps. weapon. Basic weapon handling is be¬ ing given to new members by John Ferguson as the Corps Liason Officer observes the demonstration. 121 PI ALPHA FRATERNITY Pi Alpha is the oldest fraternity at St. Francis. Dedicated to God, school and country, it operates under a code of Christian brotherhood rooted in the teachings of St. Francis himself. Its members strive to bring themselves closer to each other and to God through the various duties and activities of fraternal life. Bonds of friendship and loyalty formed during college years do not cease at graduation, but continue to enrich the lives of the brothers as long as they respect the sacred pledge of membership. The spiritual, intellectual and social development of every member is the direct concern of the fraternity. Parties, dances and socials strengthen the ties of brotherhood. A new fraternity house, financed and decorated entirely by the members, was effective proof of the industry and cooperation that traditionally characterize Pi Alpha. GERARD GANNON JOHN J. FERGUSON Vice Archon Secretary JOHN MEUDT Archon JOSEPH WALKER Treasurer Jim Leonard, Jerry Gannon, Lou Velotta and John Casey check the fraternity dance seating arrange¬ ments at the Hotel New Yorker with Tony Raimondi and Charlie Hueston. ROBERT HURLEY Secretary JAMES LEONARD Historian JOHN O’CONNOR Master of Ceremonies Frat brothers and their guests enjoy a pause during the night’s festivities. The fraternity s annual dance at the Hotel New Yorker was one of the social highlights of the year. Every number found the dance floor crowded; the band’s fine music kept everyone dancing. PI ALPHA Continued The new fraternity house offers a restful haven between classes. It also proves to be a means of bringing all the men of Pi Alpha closer together. Tony Krasnick leads Wayne Wisdom, John Meudt and Fred Schneider in a bit of practice for the Music Appreciation course. Underclassmen check the seating plan for the annual dance, while alumnus Jerry Gillia bargains with John Meudt for a choice table. 124 Dick Flynn proved to begone of the most entertaining “dogs” ever to pledge for Pi Alpha. Dicks antics packed the lounge whenever he appeared. John Meudt admonishes off-key “dogs.” Everyone seems happy as dogging week nears its end; only Hell Night remains for the wary “dogs.” 125 BUSINESS CLUB The Business Club is intended to arouse the interest of the student body in current business trends and opportunities. Membership is not confined to the Business Division. Any student may join who is interested in pursuing a career in the world of modern business, and wishes to prepare for that career by working closely with experienced businessmen qualified in advice and training. Regular meetings and practice sessions are highlighted by guest speakers and informal group discussions. PATRICK RUSSO President 2I3MAJR Professor Robert Rich addresses the club’s second meeting, discussing plans for proposed field trips to outstanding business firms. President Pat Russo explains the con¬ ditions necessary for a student to participate in the internship program to Tim Courtney, Don Grennon and Joe Shelley. A special meeting was called during which members of the club recounted their experiences during the internship rt ALAN WEATHERWAX President ST. BONAVENTURE PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY The St. Bonaventure Philosophical Society stimulates interest in the basic principles of contemporary philosoph¬ ical thought. Classical and medieval philosophers are also studied in the light of their application to modern problems and their influence on cur¬ rent thought. Weekly lectures by the moderator acquaint the members and interested students with the philosophical foundations of Communism, and serve to eradicate many misconceptions concerning its basic tenets. Carefully choosing his words, Doctor Carpino continues on a point made during one of his many lectures given on Communism. Al Weatherwax, Tom Russo and Frank Fallon smilingly listen as Doctor Carpino refutes an argument advanced by the club members. INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB JOSEPH MINGIONE President Joe Murphy and John Milewski obtain a further insight into the complexities of labor unions, their internal organization and their problems from Mr. David Wells. The International Relations Club was organized to stimulate interest in world affairs. Guest speakers from all over the world give informative talks to members. The annual political symposi¬ um in October dealt with the problems of the steel strike. Sev¬ eral weeks later Dr. George Westerman, Panamanian Ambas¬ sador to the U.N., addressed the entire student body. The I.R.C. also presented a series of informative films for the students at large, and spon¬ sored its second Annual Political Convention for high school sen¬ iors and guests of political and international importance in its efforts to fulfill its objective. Mr. George Westerman, Panaman¬ ian Ambassador to the United Nations, receives a prolonged ova¬ tion after his address on Canal Zone problems. 128 Mr. David Wells of the I.L.G.W.U. discussed the position taken by organized labor regarding the strike in the steel industry at the Political Symposium. Mr. Joseph Ellis, I.R.C. moderator, chats with the National Association of Manufacturers’ representative at the Political Symposium, Mr. Robert Maher, concerning management’s position during the long steel strike. Mike Zufolo and Joe Mingione wait for a pause in the conversation to express their views. One of the highlights of the I.R.C s activities was a lecture by a member of the Henry George School. Joe Murphy proved to be an invaluable editorial consultant as well as an all-around staff member for the paper. THE VOICE Salvatore Alloceo, Editor-in-Chief, attended the Catholic University Journalism Insti¬ tute. . He taught what he had learned about layout and editing to his hand- picked staff, who in turn imparted their knowledge to new members. To be proofread,” comments Mike Henning. As a writer on the sports staff, John Ward wrote mainly ath¬ letic feature articles, as well as straight feature stories. As News Editor, John A. Ferguson worked with his staff on the basic tenets of news writing. He wrote headlines for the news pages and marked copy for printing, as well as writing various stories. The Voice is the student newspaper which enables its staff to develop journal¬ istic skills through actual practice. The aim of the paper is to present news, feature articles, athletic stories and editorials to keep the student body informed concerning academic and extracurricular developments. Members of the staff are taught the rudiments of layout, news writing, page makeup and dummying, as well as proof¬ reading and feature writing. Students are free to express their opinions on any topic in a Letters to the Editor section on the feature page. William Walsh rose to the News Editorship from positions as typist and Student Council reporter. He prepared page assignments proof- read news copy and wrote headlines tor the news pages. 131 THE VOICE Continued ui ci uuuiuus pmaac. rv a iiewi writer, j Frank served under Bill Walsh and aided with dummy work. Sal Allocco is momentarily distracted while checking Joe Coppotellis layout for the news page. Writing poetry was only one of the duties of Feature Editor Richard Flynn. Presenting salient features and editing assignments were his tasks; he also proofread the galleys. Statistics, schedules and player profiles were main inter¬ ests in the work of Mike Henning, Sports Editor. Many times he was forced to work with skelton staffs and skimpy material. Between rewriting, checking records and interchanging articles with other colleges, the sports page was completed. It was the job of the Editor-in-Chief to set story dead¬ lines with the departmental editors. Here, Bill Walsh i checks the date and titles of copy material for a news i section. John J. Ferguson, Art Editor, prepared all drawings for the Voice this year. Immediately before copy is sent to the Printer for; type setting, Frank Avenoso (1.) dictates stories to Bill Walsh. Joe Murphy (r.) types headlines, and Joe Coppotelli pre¬ sents and explains the layout for the next issue to Sports Editor Henning. Dick Flynn marks galleys as Mike Henning matches each story with the dummy. The dummy is the printer s guide and must coincide with the copy printed on the galleys. Flexible, balanced and changing layouts were prune requisites of Layout Editor Joseph Coppotelli. He did this by floating the nameplate, rearnnging page plans and varying picture layouts. GAELIC SOCIETY MICHAEL REDMOND President The Gaelic Society consists of a group of students interested in the study and promulgation of Irish cul¬ ture and lore. The Society aims to inculcate an appreciation of the value of Irish contributions to our American culture, and to strengthen in the members a spirit of pride in their Gaelic heritage. Lectures and exhibits depicting various aspects of Irish life and history were presented during the year. The club marched as a unit in the St. Patrick ' s Day Parade. Mike Redmond and John McCormick thrash out a problem concerning the St. Patrick ' s Day Parade. Jim Murray and Danny O’Connor measure both proposals. A major point of interest to the society is the partition of Ireland. Brother Joseph, Moderator, discusses the implications of a welding of north and south. Mike Redmond seeks suggestions from the mem¬ bers on plans to invite a guest speaker to lecture the group. VETERANS CLUB Jim O’Donnell discusses plans for the annual Christmas Toy Drive with members of the committee. JAMES O’DONNELL President The Veterans Club has set two pri¬ mary goals: to assist returning service¬ men in re-orientating themselves to college life and keep them abreast of changing policy regarding veterans benefits, and to help the students prepare themselves for future military service. To realize these goals, the club main¬ tains contact with the Veterans Admin¬ istration and various branches of the Armed Services in order to obtain the latest information regarding changes in John Finan and Wayne Wisdom dance with their wives during one of the club’s socials at the Baron Dekalb Council, Knights of Columbus. Unable to depend solely upon do¬ nations of toys, the members made an appeal for finances to local merchants and the families of the students. Jim O’Donnell and Wayne Wisdom get the campaign underway by distributing donation cans. policies. The club calls upon the experience of its members to give the non-veterans a concise idea of the daily routines of military life. 135 OMICRON CHI EPSILON Omicron Chi Epsilon, Iota Chapter of the national honor society in Economics, has a three fold purpose: to stimulate interest in Economics; to help promising students; and to confer distinction for high scholastic achievement. Membership is confined to Juniors or Seniors with at least twelve semester hours of Economics courses.

SHELLY 137 ASSOCIATION OF EVENING BUSINESS STUDENTS The Association of Evening Business Students was formed in order to create a keener interest in business affairs and to promote a clearer understanding of the business world. The club also acted to integrate the students of the Evening Session into the social and extracurricular activities of the college. Monthly meetings dealt with current business trends and problems. These meetings provided a common meeting ground where the unique problems of night school students could be discussed. In addition to the serious work of monthly meetings, the Association spon¬ sored a Dinner Dance, a Communion Breakfast and a picnic as social outlets for the evening students. 138 Several evening students arrive early for a meeting. After a long day at the office, students still found energy to launch a vigorous program designed to further incorporate the evening session with its daytime counterpart. e Loyalty Fund Campaign and the April Communion Breakfast re among the many topics discussed between classes at Court Early arrivals find time to scan the da y’s head¬ lines or just chat before the heavily travelled corridors would fill again. For the senior members, order¬ ing their college ring was an important moment. 139 CAMPUS TONES Campus Tones vocalist Pat Calhoun sang at the Christmas Assembly. WILLIAM LAWLOR President The Campus Tones, the dance band of St. Francis College, attempts to pro¬ vide an outlet for those students who are musically inclined and interested in con¬ temporary music. The group’s goal was realized with a most rewarding year. Practice sessions are held regularly, during which the group prepares its own interpretations of currently popular tunes and revives many of the old standards. The group gave an added boost to the newly inaugurated stag dances and provided the basketball team with a musical cheering section. Their rendi¬ tions at the Christmas Assembly moved everyone into the happy mood of the season. The group lets loose with a lively jazz selection. 140 JOSEPH MURPHY STUDENT GROUP LEADERS The Student Group Leaders are outstanding students selected by the Student Council to assist in the various programs of the administration. This group is extremely active during orientation week giving incoming students a first-hand insight into all facets of college life. During the year they meet with selected groups of freshmen to conduct orientation lectures. Members of the group also serve as hosts during the career conferences held throughout the year.

As Pat Farley, Dick was a man made cynical by the suicide of his fiance. Ann Field, played by Judy, taught Pat the power of love. Dick’s cynicism and disgust for life was matched by that of Patricia Dawson as Lily Malone, an actress. 144 Another love theme concerned Nor¬ man Rose (John Richetti) and Alice (Marlene Piretti). Their story was divulged in Alices sleepwalking scene. John Glinane, guest alumnus, portrayed Stephen Field. In one transition of the many in the play, he became Tom Ames’ (John O’Connor) beloved Father Francis and heard Tom s confession. The Epidemic” “Down with Typhoid fever!” shout three mem¬ bers of the city council in The Epidemic. Bill McCormick played the Leader of the Opposi¬ tion; John Richetti, the Mayor; and Dick Flynn, Dr. Triceps. The city council convenes: John O’Connor (who also directed), Frank Avenoso Sal Allocco, Bill McCormick, John Richetti, Bob Peyton, Dick Flvnn. Tim O’Kelly and Don O’Connor. . t1 1 1 t 1 1 DUNS SCOTUS HONOR SOCIETY ARTHUR BEYER Duns Scotus is the scholastic honor society which bestows honor and recognition on deserving students. Candidates, who must be Juniors or Seniors with an index of at least 3.00 and an outstanding record in activities, are voted on by a committee of faculty and student members. Acceptance entitles the members to wear the key of the society and a distinctive red and blue tassel at graduation. A permanent plaque bearing the names of all present and past members occupies a position of prominence in the main hall of the school. JOHN RICHETTI JAMES GREEN President The Anthonian Club is an organization which exists for the expressed purpose of developing and strengthening voca¬ tions to the religious life. Its members are students who are seriously contem¬ plating taking vows, and seek encour¬ agement and direction in making their decisions. Monthly meetings are highlighted by conferences and discussion groups, and outings to various religious communities give members an accurate picture of what they may expect to encounter as servants of God. ANTHONIAN CLUB Dennis Maher and Frank Perillo discuss a forthcoming outing to a Franciscan seminary with Jim Green. The Glee Club was organized to provide an outlet for th e vocal talents of the students and to engender a finer appreciation of music in the members and the entire student body. Regular rehearsals prepare the group for appearances at various assemblies and school functions. Among the year’s achievements were an inspiring rendition of hymns at the Christmas Assembly, and a recital during the ceremonies dedicating the student recreation area. The group also appeared before many civic groups and clubs, where their presentations were warmly received. The Winters Song rings out in another excellent choral performance. Four part sing¬ ing without accompaniment is tlie specialty of the Glee Club. 148 V 0 GLEE CLUB Bass rehearsal finds Ron Wasielewsld Donal Kelleher and Ted Fletcher in the throes of learning the difficult Student s Chorus from Offenbach’s Les Contes d’Hoffman. “Pianissimo,” warns Professor Fiorenza, as Cherubinis Veni Jesu is intoned. The dedication of the Moran Student Courts saw the Glee Club singing the Alma Mater under the arbor. ■■I FRANCISCAN I960 JOSEPH WALKER Associate Editor WILLIAM McCORMICK Business Manager WAYNE J.

WILLIAM WALSH Layout Editor JOSEPH MURPHY Managing Editor JAMES BOYLE Literary Co-Editor The purpose of a yearbook is to record the the activities of a school year and to recall in words and pictures the events which have gone to make up two semesters of student activity. We have set a high goal in the publication of a yearbook that is truly representative of St. Francis College and worthy of her students. To this end, the Franciscan staff has labored many long hours writing copy, taking pictures, editing the collected material, laying it out and molding it around a theme. The measure of the success of the Franciscan cannot be judged subjectively by basing its suc¬ cess on coverage given to any one section or activity. Frequently unavoidable obstructions could not be hurdled. The true measure of the 1960 Franciscan can only be evaluated after the whole book has been read and reread in light of the whole school year. JAMES O’DONNELL Literary Co-Editor FRANCISCAN Continued FREDERICK SCHNEIDER Senior Co-Editor DERMOT FLYNN Senior Co-Editor THOMAS CONNELLY Sports Editor RICHARD MANNING Photography Editor Wayne Wisdom takes time out to help Lee Wittmann make one selection from several prints. 152 Sal Allocco, Wayne Wisdom, Bill McCormick and Dick Flynn make several last minute corrections. As time grew shorter, lunch became a lost leisure. Tim Courtney, Joe Walker, Dick Flynn and Wayne Wisdom work on the early stages of the Franciscan at their former office on Court Street. Hank Zaitz focuses on the Glee Club during the Christmas Assembly. PHI RHO PI FRATERNITV JOHN FITZGERALD Vice-Praetor Pro Deo, Patria et Sancto Francisco is a succinct statement of the goal of Phi Rho Pi Fraternity and the bond that unites its members in a spirit of Christian Brotherhood. The Beta Chapter of Phi Rho Pi, a national Catholic fraternity, was inaugu¬ rated at St. Francis in 1922, and has contributed unsparingly to the advancement of the ideals of St. Francis in the students ' social life. The dances and parties that comprise the bulk of any fraternity ' s activities are not Phi Rho ' s only contribution. Their sponsorship with the Veterans ' Club of the annual Christmas Toy Drive brings a smile to the face of many a lonely child and adds a true measure of Christian charity to the Fraternity’s accomplishments for the year. Members of Phi Rho Pi are pictured at their Annual Communion Breakfast. The Golden Eagle Restaurant provided the setting for the very successful breakfast.

WEIGHT LIFTING The Weightlifting Club seeks by a vigorous program of competitive and developmental training to promote physical health and a spirit of Franciscan competition. This year’s pro¬ gram consisted of intramural contests and team training prep¬ aratory to fielding an inter¬ scholastic weightlifting team in the future. Facilities within the school provide ample space and equipment for training, and all the rules of health and safety are rigorously adhered to. Adhering to the strictest rules of health and safety, several members of the Weight Lifting Club carefully place the weights in position. Pete Antioco holds the bar for Pete Cippoletti as he adds the necessary weights before a club workout. ■ST ' PRESS CLUB Jim O’Connor, Mike Gray and moderator Mr. Edward Quigley discuss the tenets of writing press releases. Connie Reitz, Frank Macchiarola and Bill Sullivan assist the Publicity Office by writing and proofreading releases. Mike Gray briefs the club on current newsbeats. MICHAEL GRAY President The Press Club is responsible for the collection and distribution of publicity and press releases concerning the col¬ lege. Its effectiveness is measured in terms of its ability to keep the name of St. Francis in the public eye. The club maintains a press clipping scrap book drawn from all the New York daily newspapers, and this year sponsored a Press Convention to ac¬ quaint high school seniors with the rudiments of journalism and with St. Francis College. 159 FRANCISCAN SPIRIT AWARD WILLIAM CAHILL JOHN A. FERGUSON JOHN FITZGERALD RICHARD FLYNN The Franciscan Spirit Award is given each year to a representative number of students who have exemplified the principles of Franciscanism in their attitude, be¬ havior and accomplishments. This honor is not limited to seniors, but may be bestowed on any student who has proven his adherence and dedication to the Franciscan ideal. The eleven seniors and five juniors named for this years award were selected on the basis of leadership, cooperation, industry and, above all, spirit. Franciscan Spirit is admittedly difficult to define. It is, however, readily discernible in action; it is observable in its ap¬ plication if not in its essence. It is by this application and incorporation of Franciscan Spirit into their lives that these sixteen men merited distinction.

THOMAS HALTON President The Science Club endeavors to provide students with the equipment and facilities for conducting individual scientific experi¬ mentation in conjunction with related courses. Projects and research work pre¬ pare the budding scientist for postgraduate work, and the club attempts to secure fel¬ lowships, scholarships and job opportunities for its members. Meetings and talks on topics of scientific interest complete the program. Films were part of the Science Clubs effort to explore and explain the wonders of botany to students. Richard Hoenig is congratulated by Tom Halton as he is presented with a science award. The Pfizer Company left many booklets concerning career op¬ portunities for science students through Mr. Allen. There was much discussion concerning the standard of academic prowess necessary for employment at Pfizer Company. 163 - «IwoVV« « .. • ‘ ‘ V r+ a ?
