ST. FRAK St. Francis College as it COulege-Brookuvn, n.y oked in 1900 REFERENCE MATERIAL NOT TO BE REMOVED FROM LIBRARY The pain of loss is a frightening one. The individual who loses someone he loves—that person in whom and with whom he finds courage, satisfaction, and meaning — experiences fear, anxiety, and absurdity. There is a vast feeling of emptiness and of uselessness, a sense of time in which there is no future, and an awareness that things are not free, but fated. There is another kind of loss, also the loss of a love object, but a loss which completes itself not in pain and suffering, but in joy and hope. The loss of child¬ hood is such a loss. Surely, there is pain, and some¬ thing is gone forever, but this growth process prom¬ ises something greater than what is suffered or lost. At each stage of maturation, the individual develops in a positive icay, retaining ivhat he already has, and incorporating a new and hopefully a greater energy, outlook, understanding and spirit. The growing individual supplants despair with the promise and the hope of things to be. The destruction of the Butler Street Campus is a loss of the latter type. We have lost something, and not just the building, but that atmosphere, and that outlook, and that spirit which accompanied it and was some¬ how ' an inherent part of it. In a sense we have lost our childhood, our security from the immediacy and the energies of the daily world. W e are no longer “off the beaten path,” we are on it, physically; ive can no longer boast of a small-town, homey rhythm and environment, but of a cosmopolitan energy and cluster; we are no longer hidden from the dynamism of civil life, we are now a part of its center. And these physical changes which have taken place during the past few years—the moving into the Renisen Street Campus, the continuing construction of auxiliary buildings on Remsen Street, and the final destruction of the Butler Street Campus-have changed us deeper and more important¬ ly. We are now ' incorporating and living the responsibilities, the leadership, and the courage expected of a college in our modern world. We now go to make up part of this energy, this hope, these forces which shape our world. Our new location has committed us to participate, to challenge and to be challenged, to call out in ques¬ tion and to answer, to give as ivell as to demand, and always under all circumstances—to be there. To be there in the same way that Jesus teas there in Jerusalem during his public ministry, doing ivhat he must do because it had to be done. He was angry and used force against the money-changers in the temple; he was proud and self-assured when he preached the Sermon on the Mount; he was gentle and forgiv¬ ing with Magdalene; he suffered in his resignation in the Garden at Gethsemani. This is the Jesus we know and imitate, the public Jesus, the Jesus par¬ ticipating in his world and influencing it, the Jesus loving his world and sacrificing for it. To be here at Remsen Street is to be our public ministry. We must note begin to imitate the public Jesus, ice must now begin to act in the same way that Jesus acted, with force, with pride, and with unself¬ ishness. Butler Street was our youth and our time to prepare ourselves for the world. We are grown now, our preparation is complete, and we have ar¬ rived at the threshold of our maturity. We must enter our new world and en¬ gage ourselves as Christians, embracing our new matur¬ ity with the courage and fortitude expected of us as Franciscan men. Let what has been destroyed at Butler Street be a stim¬ ulus for what is and what will be constructed at Rem¬ sen Street—a present full of courage, energy, and hope, and a future heavy with promise and the joy of achievement.

DEDICATION Each year, since the founding of the Butler Street Campus, and the publishing of the Franciscan, the editors have endeavored to seek some person who strongly exemplifies the qualities of Christian char¬ ity, intelligence, and cultural sensitivity which the college attempts to instill in its students. On occasion we have dedicated yearbooks to individual faculty members, students, parents, places and things. The standards and motives behind the dedication have varied throughout the years. This year the Class of 1966 has decided to dedicate this yearbook to two persons who typify and are living reminders of that Franciscan spirit of charity, dedication and enthusiasm that was ever present at Butler Street. To single out any man from an outstanding faculty is a difficult task. Such a difficult decision we, the staff of the Franciscan , felt was beyond our powers to make. Therefore, the staff went among the students and inquired whom they would have us choose. The names of two men were repeatedly given in response to this question. They were Fr. Joachim and Bro. Blaise. These two men, through their interest, humor, devotion and sympathetic understanding, have endeared themselves to us. The refore it is with great honor, and pleasure, that we dedicate this volume to these two beloved Franciscans. St. Francis Remsen Street Brooklyn, N. Y. — 11201 College Office of the President May 1966 Dear Seniors: It gives me great pleasure to extend to each member of the Class of 1966 warm congratulations on the happy occasion of his graduation from St. Francis College. The Board of Trustees, the faculty and the administration join me in this message of good wishes. A special word of congratulations is due the editorial staff of the 1966 Franciscan. The theme of the Yearbook examines the recent physical transition of the college from Butler Street to Remsen Street. However, as you so well indicate, the fun¬ damental objective of the college has not changed - St. Francis College continues to offer the opportunity for an education that will fit the graduates to live well in the City of Man and eventually in the City of God. The Class of 1966 is unusual for it entered the Butler Street building in 1962, witnessed the conversion of the building to a science center in 1963, and the transfer of the latter to the Civic Center in 1965. This class is one of the few to know both the old St. Francis and the new St. Francis. It is my prayerful wish that each member of the class of 1966 will emulate all that is good in the traditions of the old St. Francis, and will create many more worthy traditions for the graduates of the new St. Francis who will pass through the portals of Remsen Street. Graduates, yours is a great challenge! I have every confidence that you will meet this challenge with much success. God bless each of you. Sincerely yours, Brother Urban Gonnoud, O. S. F.

With an increase in enrollment, the school has witnessed an increased diversity in students interests and opinions. Student activity, as an essential part of a school s intellectual life, must make provisions for this diversity, as a result, the school affords clubs for everyone from hawks to doves, from marksmen to philosophers, from ball players to bookworms, or the possible combination of all of these. During the activities hour, one can find a football game, a discussion on James, a film on Proust, and a dialogue on Catholic Action, or a private tutoring session in Italian. Besides the addition of new clubs, the longstanding organizations of the school have been modernizing their present structures and encouraging stu¬ dent participation. For example, the SILLION offered awards in prose and poetry in order to encourage students to try their hands at literary creativity. Artistic creativity was awarded by the Humanities Club in their Art Show and their plaque design contest. With the addition this year of the Student Activities Council, the clubs were now given the means to discuss their individual problems and strive for collective improvement. ' 4 COLLEGE BOWL WINS It all began on a clear, cold day in February when Jim Flynn called and asked if I were sitting down. The news was that we were to be on the College Bowl on June 6th. My first impulse was to deny any responsibility for the impending tragedy and make a clean get¬ away. But Jim and Brother Henry asked me to help out and second thoughts indicated it might be fun. The immediate job was to get a team and an elimination test seemed a good idea. Roughly ninety students tried out on such profundities as name the two moons of Mars and the college for which Hank Luisetti played basketball (I don’t think anyone got that last one right). Many good students tried for the team and helped us in ways they will probably never realize. The entire student body joined in a wide open quiz session which helped to shape and sharpen the team which was to represent St. Francis. On D-Day plus twenty-one years we faced Rhode Island and Ed MacDonald nailed the opening ques¬ tion. This was a feat he was to repeat next week against West Texas State. We won the Rhode Island game in the first half where we ran up a hundred point lead largely on the amazing speed and range of Mike O’Donnell’s answers. He would win the M.V.P. award for that show. In the second half some key answers by John Donovan, always steady and dependable, helped us hold on to our dwindling lead as Rhode Island, a good team of very fine people, closed fast. On June 13th it was Texas State and in our team pool I picked us for 400 points. At half-time we were ahead 95 to 90 and when they took the first question in the second half for a five point lead my pool pick seemed a bit hollow. Then Bill Black, the captain of the team, swung into action. His most notable con¬ tribution as captain in the previous week had been to change a correct answer and cost us a few points. He more than made up for it by taking toss-up after toss-up as we won going away. And, appropriately enough, he won the pool. After some dignified celebration the task of re- 12 ACCLAIM building for September remained. Ed MacDonald, Bill Black and Mike O ' Donnell graduated and only John Donovan would be returning. So, over the summer we built a team. Gene Westhoff was the new captain and John Rollino and Walter Godzich filled the other starting positions. Steve Dimino was for both teams a valuable and dependable back-up man. In September, after a tough summer of work, we met Dickinson College and lost. Our team was good and no apologies or second thoughts are necessary. We played well against Dickinson, especially in the second half, but they beat us, went on to win five straight, and retired undefeated. As I write this, Princeton is preparing to go on the show and is using our practice questions to get ready. It’s impossible to sum up all of the meanings for me or the team members of the chain of events that began on that cold February Friday. All in all, it was fun!

Bob Gaites introduces mayoralty can¬ didate Bill Buckley, Jr. to a wall to wall crowd. Exhibits New Acting as the political organization of the col¬ lege, the IRC attempted to follow in the finest traditions of the two previous years. Guided by the executive board, the club sought to arouse political interest and insight for students in all divisions of the college. This end was totally achieved by the select appearance of the Mayoral Candidates John Lindsay and William F. Buckley Jr. Representing Abraham Beame was Queens District Attorney Frank O’Con¬ nor. Overflowing and enthusiastic crowds were the order of the day for each of the above symposiums. To add to an already prosperous agenda of guests, was the arrival of Fr. Robert Graham, S.J., political expert on Vatican Diplomacy. It might be noted 14 Club... Spirit that Father Graham is the most learned man in this field. In mid-March, Robert Gaites, President of the IRC, and Gene Swanzey, the Vice-President, in¬ augurated a “China Seminar” for the interested high school students. In the previous years seminars delved in the area of Latin American Studies. As the 1966 FRANCISCAN goes to print, it is antici¬ pated that the Rev. Martin Luther King will address the student body in the college lounge. In all, the IRC hopes to continue next year with the same support and enthusiasm provided by this year’s underclass members. Many thanks are in store for Brother Theodore Campbell and Doctor James J. Flynn for their sup¬ port and guidance with club functions. 15 Br.

R. C. ST. FRANCIS 17 S. Dimino T. Egan Bro. Geoffrey a. Kleinberg D. Nolan P. Ferlazzo President of the Society The Duns Scotus Honor Society was founded in 1934 by the dean of the college, Rev. Dr. James A. Sullivan. Its first, and to this day, only moderator has been Brother Leo Quinn. As evident in its title, it has taken the name of the medieval Franciscan scholar-theologian, John Duns Scotus. It was the original intention of the society, and has remained so through the years, to lay stress on the well-rounded individual. The candidat e must show a love and desire for scholarship and have at least a 3.0 cumulative index. The candidate must also manifest in himself leadership and a concerned involvement in the activities of the college and of the world in which we live. Past members of the honor society have includ¬ ed men who are now prominent lawyers, doctors, college deans, and members of many other pro¬ fessions in which they have received positions of the highest merit and respect.

Brother Anthelm Drowne, O.S.F., Moderator of the Troupers and per¬ former in Room 706. The dramatic organization of Saint Francis College has completed another successful year. The activities were initiated at the Freshman Smoker with a presentation of Jean Kerr’s short play, John Browns Body. Though a major production was not scheduled for the Fall, the Troupers used that term for enlarging their repertory by undertaking a closed production of Eugene O’Neill’s lie. The Troupers also sponsored two “happenings” early in March. The evening began with a production of Mr. Michael Kirby’s happening titled Room 706 which, oddly enough, was staged in Room 706. For those who know not the term “happening,” Room 706 was a demonstration in this relatively new art form by the authority in the field. Consequently, it drew an audience of avant-garde artists from far away Manhattan as well as the usual culture-conscious group of students and friends of Saint Francis. For the second half of the program the audience was invited to stand in a misty rain in the parking lot to watch and take part in Fireworks, a first time effort in “happenings” by Paul Ferlazzo, president of the Troupers. Within a week of these productions, tryouts were held and the ground¬ work was laid for the major production in April of Sidney Kingsley’s Detective Story. Mr. John Clifford, in his second year with the Troupers, directed this starkly realistic play of powerful dramatic impact. Though the original plan of renting a theater for this production was never realized, the diligen t co¬ operation and combined efforts of moderator, director, actors, and stage technicians overcame the challenges of the lecture hall. 20 TO PLAY WELL Paul Ferlazzo, President of the Troup¬ ers and author of Fireworks.

John Donohue Parliamentarian Bill Walker President of Student Councils Tom Cuite Vice President John Lawless Senior Representative Student Council Another successful Carnival. Where was Joey Heatherton? With the dawning of the new academic year of 1965-66, the Student Council under the leadership of Bill Walker held, in their view, new horizons of real democratic government for the students of the college. The reason for the greater “democratic represen¬ tation” was due to the fact that only class representatives were seated, while the club representatives were seated on the newly formed Student Activities Council. However, as the council found out, the new machinery did not entirely settle all its old problems. There was just too much of the old council lurking in the college. There was a cry of “foul” and “power play” when the time came to give final approval of the ‘Who s Who Awards” late in October. It was probably at this time that the president, vice-president, and secretary had to meet their greatest internal crisis. Whether they came out of the crisis vic¬ toriously is questionable. Again in another thorny issue, the question of whether St. Francis should stay in the National Students’ Association or not was decided. The Council finally voted to keep affiliation with the national organization; and once more, the question of which side was victorious was clouded in smoke-filled oratory. But the Council did have its moments and it rose to the oc¬ casion as required. In January the Council met to hear several representatives involved in the Saint John’s Academic Crisis. The final conclusions were written and submitted by the Council to the parties involved. We expressed our “dissatis¬ faction with the manner of re¬ moval of the faculty members” due to the “problems and ob¬ stacles it placed on the stu¬ dents.” Another important action taken by the Council in Febru¬ ary added further intrigue to an already exciting year. The Council agreed to a re-evalua¬ tion of itself and of the entire “power structure” of the vari¬ ous classes. The meetings held on this matter were of vital importance for they were hon¬ est, forthright, and aimed at the achievement of specific goals. Whether this re-evalua¬ tion was successful remains to be seen in the future. Allan, Muchnicoff, Rodriguez, and Dukois listen while President Walker makes his point. 22 At the last meeting of the ’65 Student Council, the constitutional revisions which called for the creation of a Student Activities Council were passed overwhelmingly. S.A.C. would be composed of rep¬ resentatives from every recognized club and frater¬ nity in the school. The duties of the Student Activi¬ ties Council were to make rules and regulations for all of the student organizations, including dances, celebrations , student customs and, use their influ¬ ence in every possible way to further approved activities. At the very outset, it was soon discovered that the S.A.C. constitution left much to be desired. Chairman Daniel Clancy, and Vice-Chairman Paul DeBenedictis are to be congratulated for the work that they accomplished under such adverse con¬ ditions. S.A.C. successfully sponsored the Frosh Smoker, which was considered to be the highlight of Freshman Week. Also, S.A.C. is to be congratu¬ lated for the Activities Day, weekly calendar and the J.F.K. Carnival Dance, which they ran. Con¬ tinuous harassment from its big brother, The Student Council, made things extremely rough for S.A.C., but thanks to the work of Arthur Schwerdt, a new constitution for S.A.C. was written. The first year was a most difficult one for the organization, but its future can only be described as very optimistic. An unprecedented success. Members S. Mulligan, M. Walsh, W. Godzich, B.

Moderator 23 WHO’S WHO AMONG STUDENTS IN Each year, a specified number of students are selected by the Student Council and approved by the faculty committee for inclusion in the 1966 edition of Who ' s Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities. Selections are made on the basis of scholarship, participation and leader¬ ship in academic and extra-curricular activities, citizenship, service to the school and promise of future achievement. Award winners receive a certificate of recognition awarded by the organ¬ ization and presented at the school; recognition in the annual publication for the year during which he was selected in the form of a write-up of his college and personal record, and a listing in the Index under the college from which he was nominated. The organization also has a Student Placement Service which helps assist students in making employment contacts or by supplying letters of recommendation. The annual struggle of the Student Council to make its Who’s Who Awards was carried on at an extended meeting of that body. It took approxi¬ mately five hours for the Council to air its differences and get down to the actual voting. When the vote was finally taken by the Council, justice was served in the granting of the award to twenty seniors and one pseudo-senior.

FRANCIS COLLEGE PRESENTED TO HIS OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT IN EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITY AND LOYAL DEVOTION TO ST. FRANCIS COLLEGE LIFE. Chairman of btudent Activities -1S(o5- Every student at St. Francis College is expected to acquire and exhibit Franciscan Spirit. It is as much a part of his education as the technical training he receives in his particular field of concentration . But spirit is by definition an amorphous and intangible element. While admittedly difficult to isolate, Franciscan Spirit is readily discernible in action: it is observable in its application if not in its essence. By their attitude, behavior and accomplishments, by their leadership, cooperation and industry, these seven men have proved that they possess the extra measure of devotion that qualifies a student for this award. Some of the Award winners include Ed Jaworski, Daniel Clancy, Gene Swanzy, Paul De Benedictis, Paul Ferlazzo, Walter Godzich, Phil Titlo, Mike Currano, Jack Crispi, Arthur Schwerdt, Tom Cuite, John Pereira, John Lawless and Al Martorano. 27 Left Row: D.

Wagner! (} ( ' ? (dJjuk The Glee Club is one of St. Francis College’s oldest and most respected organizations. This is a known fact and one that cannot be disputed, although, at times, there are those do nothings,’ whose highly critical voices can be heard emanating from the depths of a dusty locker room or from the heights of a spotless penthouse. Successful is probably the best way to describe the organ¬ ization. This is due mostly to the continuous untiring efforts of Professor Nicholas A. Fiorenza, known better to the mem¬ bers as Nick. He is one of the few, who once having attained success and stature does not flaunt it in front of the student’s face from a precisely measured tower of faculty-student protocol. It is Nick who plays the piano and at whom every¬ one is cursing when he plays the same song to be practiced for the eighth time in a row. But, it is also Nick who puts the songs together and who, in reality, creates the applause. He works for the guys and they work for him. It’s a very simple formula, yet one that’s quite effective. All members rehearse about two and a half hours a week. One hour is spent in their individual rehearsal, either Bari¬ tone, Bass, 1st or 2nd Tenor, and the other time is put toward the general rehearsal every Monday night. There’s hard work of vocalizing, repeating the same song over and over, waiting, seemingly forever, till one section can get their part of the song, and sometimes just doing a song that you don’t like singing. There’s plenty of fun too, like practical jokes and trying to make one section laugh especially when they’re in the middle of some high note. Then it’s time to go home, but perhaps a short stop for a Coke in O’Keef’s. Aside from the actual music, there are a mass of business details to be attended to by the very capable officers. There’s wardrobe, renting of the acoustical shells (although they plan to buy them this year if all works out), transportation, concert dates, songs, advertising, and getting the tickets printed. The day before the Christmas vacation, they had their annual Christmas concert in the Grand Ball Room of the Hotel St. George. They sang religious, light contemporary, and Christmas carols. Santa Claus made his entrance, and the Glee Club had all it could do to restrain itself, especially when the rest of the student body and most of the faculty got to tell him what they wanted for Chri stmas. But, that’s show biz as they say. Actually it all worked out, for they got to see him later in one of the department stores. 28 The highlight of the season was the concert with Georgian Court. The long planning was well worth it for it allowed both groups to enjoy the day without being plagued by last minute details. Early on the twelfth of March, they set up the shells and lights as well as getting the lounge cleaned and dec¬ orated. At about noon, the buses ar¬ rived with the girls, all carrying suit¬ cases and makeup bags. Once they warmed up from the cold March day, they were shown to where they could change. Later, they had coffee and cake and then went into their individual rehearsals. After another break for coffee, they had their general rehear¬ sal. This completed, they went up to the seventh floor for a complete dinner, which was being served by the caterers. It was an atmosphere of combined nervous apprehension before a per¬ formance and a one of friendship. This was their first chance to rest since the early morning. After dinner, the con¬ cert was given to a packed house. Cheers of “Bravo” could be heard, al¬ though Jack McGreevey said it sounded more like, “Let’s go!” When the per¬ formance was ended, the chairs were pushed back and Glee Club A Go Go began. This was a dance for the com¬ bined clubs and for the audience. The evening broke up early the next morn¬ ing. It was a great success. There were other concerts, includ¬ ing the one in the Spring to commem¬ orate the Centennial Anniversary of Prospect Park. This was a particularly high honor since the invitation came from the Honorable Abe Stark, Bor¬ ough President of Brooklyn. Jack McGreevey, this year’s Presi¬ dent, said that this was the most suc¬ cessful year thus far. He continued to say that the Glee Club is more like the voice of the college speaking to the surrounding community. No amount of advertising or publicity can do the good that the Glee Club can through its personal contact with the public. It is here that others become aware of St. Francis and of what the men of St. Francis are like. We make friends. At the end of the year, there is a party at the Sky Room of the Hotel St. George for all the members. There’s a hot buffet and all one can drink. It is here that those who are soon to leave feel both happy and sad. They will never sing again with the S.F.C. once they leave. Professor Nicholas A. Fiorenza R. Tarpey, P. Le Gullio, J. Hill, L.

The Business Club of St. Francis College will close one of its most busiest years this June for both the Officers and the Membership. In April of 1965 the Members had elected Ray Curran, Bob .Snyder, Jeff Gould, Bill Hunt, and Sal Salibello as President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, and His¬ torian respectively. Club preparations for the 1965-1966 aca¬ demic year were begun in the summer of 1965. The result was lectures, articles, dances, discussions—and in great dos¬ ages as any business student will readily testify. The Club set up a series of six lectures covering the various phases of Accounting, Management, and Economics. There was also a lecture given primarily for seniors on “The Interview Technique” by Mr. James J. Dixon of the Guidance Depart¬ ment. Although it was difficult going at the beginning, stu¬ dent reaction to the Club’s first speakers was positive and the show, or rather, the lectures, was on the road. Club members were exposed not only to lectures but panels and discussions as well. An Accounting panel was scheduled for the New Year. It covered the public, private and govern¬ ment phases of Accounting, and even Mike Quill couldn’t stop us. A report on the Senior Accounting Internship was another informative feature. Ray Curran, President of the Business Club. Fluctuates When the Club was not meeting, it was reading—the arti¬ cles on business in the Voice. “Brooklyn Business—The Civic Center” was the title and it reported on—you guessed it . . . The articles showed how and why some of our leading banks, utilities, firms, and department stores settled and opened shop where they did. A S, Korvettes, the T.A., the friendly First National City, Merrill, Lynch, Pierce and so on all had their say. In early October the Club sponsored a Discotheque and although we didn’t cover the rental cost of the juke box those that were there enjoyed it. The first Friday in May is traditionally reserved for the annual Business Club dance. So it is again this year. This time the Business Club will move its shindig closer to a central location thus trying fo make it more accessible and again suc¬ cessful. Looking at the past year in quick review I would say it was hectic, trying at times, but satisfying. I would certainly welcome it again. Dr. Charles L. Savage, Moderator of Business Club. . . the outside world EAGERLY awaits you.” 31 SOCIOLOGISTS HOLD SEMINARS R. Lo Curto (Treasurer), Brother Shane (Vice-President), Sister Rose (President), Greg Dalton (Secretary), and Mr. James O’Kane (Moderator). 32 Mr. and Mrs. Wright, a happily married inter-racial couple are flanked by Brother Shane and Sister Rose at a recent Sociology Club meeting. The Sociology Club of the college is directed towards the goal of making known to the student body the factors which are behind some of the lead¬ ing social problems of our modern world. Highlights of this past year was a conference on drug addiction, in which two ex-addicts from Daytop Lodge spoke about their experiences with drugs and their lives as addicts, as well as a timely lecture dis¬ cussion on venereal disease. To bring into focus some of the problems of minority groups, a confer¬ ence was held on interracial marriage at which time Mr. and Mrs. Wright, an interracial couple, spoke and answered questions on the personal problems they faced as a result of their marriage. Also featured was a lecture and discussion on the Puerto Rican problem in our pluralistic society, and a film about hypnosis. The club was moderated by Dr. Clement and Mr. James O’Kane. Mr. James O’Kane Moderator Sister Rose President Brother Blaise, O.S.F. Brother Lectured on hypnosis. 33 Bill Quinlan leads one of the frequent informal discussion periods. St. Thomas More Law Society This year has proved to be exciting and informative for the members of the St. Thomas More Law Society. A tour of the New York State’s Supreme Court Building; and a provocative lecture by Judge-elect Francis X. Altimari helped provide in¬ valuable knowledge for those students interested in the legal profession. Under the astute guidance of Dr. James J. Flynn, the So¬ ciety’s moderator, and the leadership of Bill Quinlan, many of the misconceptions about law schools, the areas of law and admission policies were clarified. Me mbership in the Society does not necessitate a prior knowledge of the law or a pursuance of the legal profession. The Society’s aim is to further familiarize the interested stu¬ dent in the procedures and requirements needed for accept¬ ance in a reputable school of law. Regardless of what the Society accomplishes, whether or not a student will be accepted by a law school is solely based on the student’s qualifications. However, one’s desire to enter the legal profession, the proper academic qualifications, and the guidance of the St. Thomas More Law Society have proved, in the past, to be just the combination that has enabled many St. Francis students to embark on a full and exciting profes¬ sion.

Mr. Edward Fritzen and Mr. James Perrone have provided personal impetus for the Clubs origins. Psychology, being a new major in the college, shows many signs of becoming an integral part of the students scholastic life. With the develop¬ ment program proceeding at a rapid pace the psychology club will reap many benefits including a private section of the new building devoted to a modern psychology laboratory. The club under the auspices of the Psychology depart¬ ment has attempted some new a such as: a field trip, a student seminar. The club’s president M JAMES PERRONE Instructor in Psychology; Moderator of Psy¬ chology Club; B.A., Fordham University; M.A.; Ibid. nd original events during the academic year lecture, various films and a student-faculty . Gorske after having completed a successful lecture on Dr. Erich Fromm’s Theory of Personality has received many favor¬ able comments and new creative ideas for the future of the club. The value of any major, indeed, of any education lies in the interest of the student toward his particular discipline. Undaunted by the size of the original enrollment of Psychology majors but rather encouraged by the essential spirit behind those students the administra¬ tion intends to cooperate to the fullest in making the Psychology major in St. Francis College an outstanding major as St. Francis has done in the past with its other majors. With particular accent on experimental Psychology, the faculty will combine, in teaching, the best of theoretical and pragmatic approaches to the discipline. Benefitting by the ex¬ perience of well trained, experimentally orientated, pragmatically inclined facul¬ ty members the student will come to a fuller appreciation of the well estab¬ lished yet rapidly growing field. Due to the relatively small but grow¬ ing size of the department advice on and assistance in obtaining graduate status will be personally afforded to each student. Endowed with the capa¬ city of flexibility the psychological edu¬ cational complexion is enhanced with each valuable contemporary contribu¬ tion to the discipline. Thus Psychology with its roots based in historical didactic achievement via. Freud, Jung, Adler, etc. has provided us with an insatiable desire to understand and ponder any added knowledqe which might replen¬ ish the font of the abyssmal search into the behavioral sciences. Finally, man who lends himself to contemporary interpretation, which is vital to self knowledge marks Psychol¬ ogy as a crucial chapter in the definitive history of the significance of mankind. Mr. Fritzen and Mr. Perrone have served in the utmost importance to the publication of psychology. Bob Gorske, President of the Psychology Club. Matt Pullizzi, Nick Belfiore, Bob Gorske, and Mr. Perrone dis¬ cuss club’s plans for the up-coming semester. Al Kleinberg and Dave Nolan play Alphonse and Gaston at a Math club meeting. Math Club Numbers Successes Moderator Brother Leo, O.S.F. The Math Club, under the leadership of President David Nolan, Vice-President Albert Kleinberg, Secretary William Geigerrich, Treasurer Raymond Feeney and His¬ torian Denis Korchinski, produced a successful 1965-66 year. The club was divided into two sections with Prof. Joseph Lazzara moderating the Freshmen and Sophomore branch, and Brother Leo Quinn, O.S.F. Guiding the Up¬ perclassmen. The General Meetings on Friday were primarily for the Frosh and Soph members who were introduced to the world of Mathematics at the College level. During this meeting, film services were used to best illustrate the areas of Computer Programming, Memory Storage De¬ vices and Applied Mathematics. The Upperclassmen used their meetings to prepare for the Graduate Record Examinations, as well as to com¬ plete their necessary Comprehensive Problems under the guidance of Brother Leo. The semi-annual Forums with St. Joseph’s College for Women resulted in a well attended success. Ed McLaugh¬ lin, Gene Westhoff and John Hnath presented their ideas on topics ranging from the History of Math, to Magic. A trip to the I.B.M. Center in Pougheepsie, a second Forum with St. Joseph’s, and the Annual Career Night, highlighted the spring activities. 36 Sailing Club Luffs Boat 7 heaves to. I I Three SFC sailors ready for a race. Boat 10 returns home. The sailors of St. Francis College have taken o the water for a second year and have traveled far and wide to seek out their competition. Upon entering the Middle Atlantic Inter- :ollegiate Sailing Association, the team has matched its strength against such big name schools as Navy, Princeton, Georgetown, Cor¬ nell, Webb Maritime, Kings Point and Ford- ham. Practices for the meets have taken place in the waters near the Cresthaven Yacht Club at Whitestone, Queens. Under the able modera¬ tion of Brother Louis Cunningham, O.S.F., new members have been taught the basic sailing principles and techniques. The equipment used, a half dozen 8-foot sailing dinghies borrowed from the Franciscan boys club “Alvernia,” proved to be inadequate for producing actual meet conditions. In the majority of meets, SFC did not turn out the victor, nor did it come close to break¬ ing any records. But its fellow members of MAISA will agree that no other team possessed such a high spirit of eagerness and enthusiasm. As President and Vice-President, Joseph Mulhern and Brother Armel Dumas O.S.F. re¬ spectively. have done all in their power to estab¬ lish our sailing team as one willing to meet many obstacles in the fulfillment of its goals. The jolly members of the sailing team leave with hopes for another nautical victory. 37 Science Club Rejuvenated Kevin Reddin, Louis Juhasz, Robert Russo and Roger Rodriguez tread the reel in preparation for the showing of a film. The Science Club, in its attempt to eradicate its poor performances in the past few years, began the Fall term with a weak but ever-growing effort. The organization showed considerable ini¬ tial impetus arising from the success of their Brookhaven National Laboratory trip and the sale of lab coats and dis¬ secting kits to the General Biology stu¬ dents. The annual Christmas Party, held in conjunction with the Saint Joseph’s College Science Club, was the most successful gathering in the history of the organization and marked a prof¬ itable close to the Fall semester. The Spring semester brought with it increased interest from some of its dormant members and the welcomed participation of new members. The club began by initiating student research projects, sponsoring faculty and guest lecturers, and publishing its scholarly technical journal, The Phoeni x. Among the new activities added this year were interdepartmental seminars and tours of some major industrial plants and facilities outside the metropolitan area. Perhaps, the year’s most productive en¬ deavor lies in the club’s plans for a Science Fair for high school seniors. Work on these plans will continue throughout the summer with hopes of materializing during the 1966 Fall term. The year, as a whole, can be considered a success, if only for the fact that it has brought with it a reawakening of the former spirit of the organization. Hopefully this will be strengthened in the forth-coming semesters in order to enable the students, who shall enter the new Science Center, to have the op¬ portunity of belonging to a strong and active science oriented co-curricular organization. Paul De Benedict ' s President Dr. John Burke Moderator Alert club members display excitement over news that girls colleges are to be invited to the Science Club party. VO CE Lou’s copy sings while his pipe stinks—eh Bob? As John looks on. The Voice ambled through another year of peaks and valleys. The high-points were consistant pub¬ lication and plenty of features to tantalize the brain. The valleys came as harried editors button-holed their news sources in the halls looking for “hot” copy that was not always forthcoming. And, as every New York City publisher knows—printers al¬ ways leave much to be desired. The editorial staff learned what Burns meant when he wrote “the best laid plans of mice and men . . .” These memories, however, will only add to the store¬ house of four years at Saint Francis Colleqe.

Humanities Club Professor Paul Dolan gave a successful talk on James Bond. With no officers, no members and an uncertain budget, the Humanities Club started the year as little more than a tradition. Acting as President before his election, Ed Jaworski discussed a grand organizational plan with Brother Camillus and anyone who would listen. The plan turned out not to be a dream. A number of students became members at the Club’s first meeting. All of the activities turned out to be well organized successes. In the Fall, Professor Dolan gave an entertaining talk on James Bond; and the now demolished 162 building was the scene of the Club’s most successful Art Show. Whereas lack of student partici¬ pation characterized the Humanities Club in the past, lack of space to accommodate everyone interested characterized these activities. After rewriting the Club’s constitution, Steve Mulligan gave a talk on “Catcher in the Rye.” An interesting discussion on the novel was given by Dr. Bush of the English department. Among the anticipated successes planned for the Spring were further stu¬ dent and faculty talks, and a film-discussion. The showing of a recent, controversial, and of course, “arty” film was rescheduled for the Spring because of the transit strike. Such a film followed by a discussion conducted by a faculty member has been growing in popularity at many colleges. Brother Camillus, Moderator of the Humanities Club.

Professor Farley Moderator Attempting to awaken the slumbering reflective consciousness of the student body, if there be one, the Philosophy Club this year placed emphasis on its function as a co-curricular activity. Under the guidance of Prof. Farley, moderator, and Tom Riley, president, the club co-ordinated its events with the philosophy courses currently offered. In the light of the fluxuating evidence of things,” Mr. Edmund Egan of the Catholic Worker Movement spoke on Pacificism. Dr. John McDermott, Professor of Philosophy at Queens College and Graduate School of Fordham, aroused intellectual interest of both faculty and students with his Scotus Lecture on William James. Mr. Willard Hutcheon of the Philosophy Dept, of City University, lec¬ tured on the current interpretations of the “Young” Marx_a topic of value to philosophy majors and student body in general. The Club also had the advantage of a film and lecture on Proust by Prof. Farley. In addition to homebound activities, the Philosophy Club again engaged in discussions with the Philosophy Commission of Manhattanville College. The club plans to finish out the year with a series of films and lectures in philosophical perspective on contemporary art, Jackson Pollack, and the American Experience. 44 Third Order Terry Ellison, Conrad Leo Leikauf, Bill Vahaly, Vice Prefect Ronald Eidshaug and Prefect Ken Wheeler, Ronald Clamsen, Joseph Magno and Anthony Lavourino gather for one of their monthly discussion meetings. Brother Labre served as moderator for the Third Order. The Third Order has as its goal, the greater spiritual develop¬ ment of its members, by following the guidelines as set down by St. Francis himself. As a fraternity, it meets once a month, to perform such tasks as: discussing relevant topics of the day, in¬ structing novices, holding chapel meetings, and supervising social gatherings. This year has brought about some interesting discus¬ sions concerning the principles and functions of a Third Order in a college society. In the spring of this year, a retreat was organized by Martin Boyle, the Novical Instructor, and took place at the St. Francis Third Order Villa. Since last February, the Third Order has as its project, the physical therapy of Jamie Silverstein, who was disabled in a car accident. Groups of five (one holding the head and one on each limb) move the boy’s body FROM SIDE TO SIDE simulating a crawling motion. This process, called “patterning,” has brought back certain of the boys functions that were lost due to the accident. The Third Order hopes to develop more along the lines of helping others and it knows that the students of St. Francis College will follow its example. Phoenix Editors Bob Henderson, Paul De Benedicts and Nick Caccavo formed the backbone of the PHOENIX this year. We are all aware of the fact that the communication of ideas is essential for the mutual co-existence and development of all things—plants, animals, men. Specifically, for man, the interchange assumes the form of language, which may include words, pictures, signs, and symbols. Through the use of these tools of language, man is able to record, to study, to assimilate, and to use the discoveries of his fellow man. This, then, is the scheme of the Phoenix. The Phoenix, the science publication of the college, is a compilation of articles, written by students and faculty members, for the transmittance of scientifically related knowledge. The themes, centered in the fields of biology, chemistry, mathematics, or physics, are written on such topics as “The Bar¬ biturates—Theories of Their Mechanism,” “The Nuclear Rocket Engine,” and “Surface—Active Agents.” The Science Club, the editors, and the contributors extend to you an invitation to read (in order to explore other areas), to retain (in order to expand your general knowledge), and to use (in order to further investigate any theme), these discussions as a means to an end—The Exchange of Knowledge. 46 “Wait until next week!” says Paul De Benedictis, as another deadline goes by! FRANCISCAN ... RISES FROM LOWER DEPTHS The 1966 Franciscan is the end result of blood, sweat, tears, and just plain old luck. It took the utmost out of Editor Paul DeBene- dictis, Assistant Editor John Ferraioli and Mr. Clifford, our moder¬ ator to finally “realize” the Yearbook you are now holding. Beseiged by the Great Northeast Blackout, the Transit Strike and utter Chaos, the Franciscan broke more deadlines than ever be¬ fore. “Wait until next week” became an all too familiar cry. By mid-year, Room 500 looked like the San Francisco Cow Palace. Meetings of the Rally Committee, the Science Club, Humanities Club, Sillion, Phoenix, and the Evaluations Committee, etc., etc. all took place in our office. Ed Jaworski and Bob Jones provided the entertainment by reconverting Room 500 into a “Bat Cave” and ordering a 1966 Princess Rolls Royce for the staff. To complicate matters even further, Copy Editor Steve Mulligan decided it was time to get married. He did! Mike O’Toole who was always a “hi flyer” joined the Air Force. By January it suddenly dawned on the staff that a job had to be “started” and “finished.” A few hectic weeks and soon the shambles of what was once a yearbook began to piece themselves together. But problems still beset us. In February we were supplied with our own personal darkroom, yet it turned out to be a monster by haphazardly processing prints that left much to be desired. Once again, club and activities were called upon to submit their own ar¬ ticles and as expected, only a few responded. Suddenly, through the work of Joe Westfield, another scourge hit the office. Computer-Date hit the college and as usual found us. Now we were beset by hundreds of collegians interested solely in “mechanical romance” and “electronic love.” This again set back what little work had been accomplished. A whirlwind of activity in late March coupled with the sharp tongue of the Editor and the Moderator brought the book to com¬ pletion. As with any publication, we must thank “those people without whose help this would not have been possible. Our first note goes to several members of our staff; Dan Clancy, Nick Caccavo, James Palmer and Ted Timmins, who diligently performed well the tasks set before them. Finally, a vote of thanks to those students who, “without their queries as to the whereabouts of the book,” we might have forgotten the whole thing. Ultimately the problem lies with you the reader. As we have been critical of others in the past, we want you also to be discerning of us! Read the 1966 Franciscan and be critical of it, if it pleases you we have at least accomplished one fact; if not let us know why. It is our hope that when work begins on the 1967 Franciscan, the editor will not inherit the problems and attitudes which plagued this annual and its editor. 47 Some members in a pensive mood . . .

DeMao D. Johnson FLYING CLUB Flight, once a mystery, has become an accepted means of transportation for many and an enjoyable hobby for an in¬ creasing number of Saint Francis students. In only three years Brother Michael, a former “Hellcat” pilot, has guided over twenty nervous fledglings through ground school and well past their first flight. During the Spring and Fall months the members of the club are divided into nec¬ essarily small, three-man, groups so that their actual flight can be more closely ob¬ served by Brother Michael. After six flights, each member can start, taxi, take off, climb, glide, dive, turn, and make landing approaches with the aircraft. Deer Park Airport, the club’s home base, is the field they reluctantly head for at the end of a day’s flight. ' Which way is south” says Bro. Michael. A panorama of Guanajuato, a small, clean, modern city whose colonial architecture, crisp climate, and mountain scenery make it a tourist favorite and a Mexican national preservation area. Said to have once been the richest silver mining city in the world, Guanajuato was highly important to Mexico’s war for independence. Last Summer the University of Guanajuato was again the host for Saint Francis Latin American Studies Majors. Following up on arrangements begun by Dr. Joseph Ellis and continued by Dr. Richard Weather- head, Robert Allen, Thomas Downes, and John Lawless went to Mexico to take courses in Mexican and Latin American history, politics, art, and the Spanish lang¬ uage and literature. Besides the studies, the experience of the culture of our closest Latin neighbor was found to be vital and engrossing. Both this program and a combined study-social work summer project in South America are open to students of any major. John Lawless and Tom Downes standing in front of the “Atlantes” at Tula. The idols represent warriors of the great pre-Aztec Toltec civilization. Interest was added to the lecture-with-slides class¬ room teaching about Mexico’s heroic past by ex¬ cursions to the actual sites of old civilizations. Tourist attractions were also visited. Project M exico — T erners Abroad Studies were, of course, the uppermost concern. The three St. Francis men took all courses in Spanish and earned excellent grades. Classes were offered at a renovated colonial monastery overlooking the valley of Guanajuato. Intellectual life was also stimulated by free student admission to weekly concerts and plays. Here Bob Allen prepares for one of his exams. Plays were performed in the plazas using natural scenery for sets. Here we see Don Quixote being performed in the streets of Guanajuato. 53 Archon Frank Mielke $fi Alplja The brotherhood of Pi Alpha celebrated its six¬ tieth year of existence with various fraternal social functions of which the annual Pi Alpha Ball at the Hotel New Yorker was the largest. This year the emphasis of the Ball was to reunite as many of the old brothers as possible. Because of this the large turnout of alumni at the Ball was rewarding both to the alumni and the present brothers. The St. Francis College Blood drive this year was co-sponsored this year by the major fraternities in the college, and naturally the brothers of Pi Alpha made up a large percentage of the donors. The fraternity was enlarged in the Fall semester by the induction of nine new members and the fra¬ ternity looks forward, at printing time, to its Spring “Dogging” period. r 4 - Walker, Jay Professor Nicholas Fiorenza, Frank Mielke, Riddel, Andy O’Sullivan.

It has, in the past, and will con¬ tinue, in the future, to offer to each of its brothers both fra¬ ternal friendship and social life throughout their academic years. Perhaps the most significant example of what Omega offers its brothers can be seen when its Seniors come close to graduation. Social affairs become filled with the singing of the school song and fraternity songs. Each of the Seniors is remi¬ niscent of the happy days and joie de vivre characteristic of Omega during their last four academic years. Since Omega is an adjunct organization of Saint Francis, it has always strived to meet its obligations to the college. Never overextending its initial goal, Omega has continued to support the college’s functions, whether they be in the form of rallies, athletics, dances, drives, or the annual Carnival.

In line with the fraternity’s prime aim of scholastic excellence, Alpha Phi Delta sponsored the lecture Dante, one of the Scotus Lecture Series which featured the prominent Dante scholar, Dr. Robert J. Clements. In the same vein, a quick look at the list of those seniors with attendance privileges will show that four out of the fifteen are brothers of Alpha Phi Delta. The Dean’s List will also show the high scholastic achievement of the fraternity. The new flags which you see upon entering the lounge, the library and the main entrance of the school were donated by the fraternity. The display case in the McGarry Library contains a weekly cultural exhibit erected by Alpha Phi Delta. The brothers are also active in clubs and co-curricular organiza¬ tions. Alpha Phi Delta numbers among its members the president of the Duns Scotus Honor Society, two awards for Who’s Who in Amer¬ ican Colleges and Universities, the vice-president of the Humanities Club, the president of the Student Education Association, two mem¬ bers of the National Drama Honor Fraternity, an editor of the Sillion, and membership in the Troupers, Glee Club, Math Club, Voice, and an Editor of the Franciscan. Although not primarily social in nature, Alpha Phi Delta does sponsor an annual dance which was held this year on December third at the Cotillion Terrace in Bay Ridge. The event was a great success. Alpha Phi Delta is a national fraternity with over thirty chapters located at colleges and universities around the country. Beta Sigma chapter is an active participant in the national affairs of the fraternity. Four brothers attended the National Convention in Pennsylvania, and Beta Sigma chapter was instrumental in initiating needed changes in the national structure. Alpha Phi Delta has helped St. Francis College to grow and will continue to do so in the future. Santo Barbarino, Bob De Marinis, Mike Spinella, Bro.

Alpha Kappa Psi is the oldest professional fraternity in business. It is a com¬ plete, well integrated, and capably administered na¬ tional business fraternity, standing for the highest ideals of conduct and achievement in university and professional life. Although the fraternity emphasizes professional activities and the profession develop¬ ment of its members as its major purpose. Zeta lota has a fairly dynamic social calendar. During the past year a tour of Rheingold Brewery was held. Various luncheons were held with prom¬ inent speakers from the Port Authority of New York and from Abraham and Strauss. Zeta lota provided many services to the College throughout the year. Some of the brothers per¬ formed some duties for the Guidance, Development, and Alumni Offices. Professionally, this year will always be remem¬ bered for the National Convention held at the Den¬ ver Hilton in Colorado. Many of the brothers at¬ tended and two delegates were also sent. For those who went, all agreed it was well worth it. Looking at the social side, the chapter held a dance at the Hollywood Terrace. The result was both a social and financial success. Alpha Kappa Psi also obtained its own Fraternity House which is located near the school. The highlight of the social calendar was the for¬ mal dinner-dance held at the Regency Suite of the Americana Hotel.

It was founded in 1923 when the brothers of Kappa Gamma Fraternity of Saint Francis Col¬ lege decided to affiliate with Phi Rho Pi Fraternity, Alpha Chapter, of Manhattan College. This decision was made to receive the benefits of a national charter. For each of its forty-three years of existence the fraternity has sponsored its traditional pre-school blast. This year’s social highlight was held at the Cotillion Terrace on September 17. It was attended by well over 700 guests, and proved to be financially as well as so¬ cially successful. Phi Rho Pi faculty night was held on November 10, the day following the big blackout. This year’s turnout was not as fruitful as last year due to the fear of another power fail¬ ure. However, all those who did attend were richly rewarded for their efforts. Another No¬ vember event was the acceptance of three new brothers, increasing the total membership of the men of the “black and gold’’ to thirty eight. In keeping with the Franciscan Spirit of kindness and charity, the fraternity sponsored a toy drive, collecting old and new toys for the orphans of the Monserratte Mission of New York. Phi Rho Pi also led the intra-fraternity blood drive by contributing 22 pints of blood. For this it received a trophy at the Christmas assembly. The fraternity hopes it will continue with the success of the previous years, as it has this year under the leadership of Praetor Phil Titolo and new moderator Brother Theodore.

(Dmtmm !dta iEpsilnn The Eta chapter of Omicron Delta Epsilon, National Honor Society in Economics, has completed another successful year at St. Francis. Under the guidance of its moderator, Professor Joseph W. Ford, the society sponsored seminars in which guest speakers discussed topics pertinent to the American economic scene. These meetings were open to all students interested in attending, and not confined to members of the society. With the recent induction of six members from the Junior class, the society has doubled its membership. The new members were accepted on the basis of their academic achieve¬ ment in the field of economics, as well as by their overall scholastic record. In addition, a sincere interest in active par¬ ticipation within the society is cited as a primary requisite for membership. Such interest was truly generated by the several guests who spoke during the year on various subjects within the realm of economics. Due to the efforts of Professor Ford, the students were given an opportunity to meet and converse on an informal basis with these guests and departmental professors as well. Leading this year’s seminars were Mr. Edward J. Cor¬ rigan, Assistant Director, Institute of Urban Studies, Fordham University, who discussed the impact of recent monetary pol¬ icy; Professor Robert Gilbert, Department of Political Science, Boston College, who spoke on the effects of radio and tele¬ vision coverage of political campaigns; and Mr. William Wolff, Department of English, Fordham University, who discussed the economic factors in the development of the theater. 64 1965-66 Officers of Theta-Nu Chapter: Michael Canano, Pres.; Dr. James Flynn, Chapter Moderator; Stephen Dimino, Historian; Thomas Egan, Vice- Pres. The Theta-Nu Chapter of Phi Alpha Theta, National History Honor Society, has been in existence at Saint Francis Col¬ lege since 1962. Its moderator is Dr. James J. Flynn, Chairman of the Depart¬ ment of History. Current officers include Mr. Michael A. Carrano—President of Theta-Nu; Mr. Thomas M. Egan—Vice- President; and Mr. Stephen A. Dimino— Historian and Editor of the chapter’s Journal of History. Theta-Nu has grown greatly since its original initiation in 1962. This year saw the largest single initiation group in the Chapter’s history and all looks well for the future. In December of 1 965, nine Sisters and four laymen were initiated into the chapter. All initiations are presided over by the Moderator and Officers of the Chapter. This year’s Journal of History has been called “Perspective.” Its goal is the “seek¬ ing of truth” in all areas of Man’s past. This is also the theme of the Society. Theta-Nu plans for discussion groups in the near future. New members and officers of local chapter: Front Row: Sister Anne Cecilia, O.P.; Sr. M. Elaine, R.S.M.; Sr. Gilbert Mary, O.P.; Sr. Maria Luke, C.S.J. Second Row: J. Egan; Sr. Margaret Timothy, O.P.; Sr. Marie Elizabeth, O.P.; Sr. M.

Just as sports became for them a peaceful means of expressing one’s excellence in matters not essential to the preservation of life, so, too, do the athletes of today find time to perfect themselves in other ways, not just academically. The adage . . . “sound mind in a sound body,” is found to be more meaningful than ever before. Take a man trained in studies to the point of excellence but lacking in social or communal activities and you find yourself looking at half a man. St. Francis has realized this most important point of a young man’s education and has more than provided sufficient means of counter-balancing his mental challenges. We believe that nowhere else can you f ind such a diversity of activities developed with every man in mind. The determined charges of Coach Charlie Schaem again captured the Eastern Collegiate Water Polo Conference championship. Highlighted by an outstanding team effort, the Terriers compiled an excellent 18-5 record for the entire campaign. Their travels brought them to such places as Montreal for international competition in the North American Cup Championship, where they finished fifth, and West Point for the Academy’s intercollegiate tournament, where they copped second place laurels. Sparked by the fantastic scoring efforts of Dennis Christy, Bill Har¬ ris and Bill Flinter, stabilized by the bulldog defense of the amazing trio of Joe Svirida, Tom Murphy and Ed Haggerty, and topped off by the brilliant goaltending of Tom Walsh, the Terriers garnered an unblemished 8-0 slate in league play for the crown. Christy ripped the nets for 93 goals in 23 games to gain first team All Star recognition along with Harris, Walsh and Svirida. Ed Haggerty was placed on the second team. Stan Gasior, Pete Cresci, Dom Tricarico, Myles Kellaher and Bob Bombara provided ample reserve strength for Coach Schaem. 68 Yale University and West Point were threats to S.F.C. all year. The College faced the Elis and the Cadets in the last games of league en¬ counters and clinched two exciting triumphs. Yale fell first, 8-5. Bill Harris chipped in with three decisive goals to hold off the talented Ivy Leaguers. West Point was victimized by the Red and Blue scoring ma¬ chine, succumbing 1 0-8. Christy and Harris scored three times each while Co-captains Svirida and Flinter chipped in with two apiece. The Terriers are presently seeking to put successive titles together. Although hurt by the loss of Joe Svirida, an all-time great, Bill Flinter and Tom Murphy, the team has eight letter men returning. Among the return¬ ees are Christy, Harris, Walsh and Gasior. Newcomers Joe Vohs and Jim Thamm undoubtedly will add support. Coach Schaem poses with the high-scoring pair of Harris and Christy.

Get rid of that @ thing! 70 “Coach, I think I’ll sit this one out.” Returning to the swimming wars for the second year in a row the S.F.C. mermen compiled a mediocre 2-4 record. Three of the four defeats were suffered at the hands of powerful contingents, Queens, L.I.U., and Adel- phi. The other loss was inflicted by Hunter. The two victories were gained at the expense of Brooklyn Poly and Brooklyn College. Captain Dennis Christy was the top point getter on the squad, being defeated only once in his specialty, the 200 yard backstroke. Denny also captured first place points in the 50 yard freestyle in addition to being on victorious medley and freestyle relay teams. Tom Walsh proved his versatility by performing well in the 200 yard butterfly, 500 yard freestyle and 200 yard individual medley events. Bill Harris and Stan Gasior handled the bulk of the freestyle events in excellent fashion. Joe Vohs, individual medley, Jim Thamm, backstroke and John Jacques, free¬ style were consistent point scorers. Breaststrokers Bob Bombara and Frank Schneller handled the chores of their stroke.

The Terrier water poloists also will participate in two tournaments: The West Point Invitational on April 29th and the Garden State Swim Club on March 27th. St. Francis is defending champs at the Garden State Tourney and placed second to Army in the West Point Tourney last year. Coach Schaem anticipates the roughest season since the Terriers entered the league. “Every team gets better and Yale and West Point are always tough. ” “Who’s got the soap?” St. Francis College varsity water polo team will begin a 10-game schedule, nine games in the Eastern Collegiate Water Polo Conference, on Saturday night, March 12th at 7 P.M. when they meet Brooklyn Poly at the latter’s pool. The Terriers are defending champs in the league. They took their 4th league championship last Spring, in the ten years they have participated in the con¬ ference. Coach Charles Schaem, named Coach of the Year for the third time in a decade of coaching the Terriers, has seven returning lettermen to but¬ tress his title defense. 72 St. Francis goes for another big win.

They displayed great offensive potential, but stumbled midway in the season and ended up with a winning record of 8 wins and 6 losses. The season would have been more successful if errors had not caused the Terriers to lose games to C.W. Post and arc rival Saint John’s University. Both of the losses were by scores of 5 to 4. The Terriers bounced back in the Fall by defeating Pace 8-1 and 7-2, Kings College 12-5 and then losing to Iona 7-1. For the second straight year St. Francis played host to the M.E.C.C.A. Baseball Tournament. Although they played at home, the team placed third in a field of nine. With a reasonably sound mound staff made up of Paul DeLoca, Pete Roach and Pete Scarpati, who led the squad with a 0.90 ERA and a record of 3-0, Coach Fazio had sufficient pitching depth. When it was needed, Roach provided some excellent relief pitching. Aside from the pitching, the Terriers had good hitting from Bob Corsano, Tony Alvarez and Lou Mannerino. Alvarez led the hitting with a .340 average. 74 John Auditone backs up Mike Campbell for strike four. Coach Fazio watches intently s ■- ' ■ ' • V . - - v . ■, : w ' ' .

The St. Francis College Basketball Team rolled up such impressive offensive statistics as: averaging almost 80 points per game, set¬ ting a new school scoring record, and going over the 100 point mark three times. However, their unimpressive record of five wins and sev¬ enteen losses was due to the fact that they couldn’t produce a complimentary defense. The Terriers opened the ’65-’66 season at Bishop Ford High School with a 101-54 victory over Pace. John Raffery’s last second basket gave the Terriers their first century game in almost ten years. Three nights later, an impressive 102-83 win over Bridgeport seemed to indicate that the team was on its way to a truly successful season. But, traveling to King’s College in Pennsylvania they suffered a 57-54 defeat. This was the first time that the Monarchs had ever beaten S.F.C. Trips to Providence and Baltimore were dis- New look added to the team. 78 appointing as the team lost to the highly rated Friars 108-80 and Loyola 84-72. Back in Brooklyn again, the Terriers came up against a well-drilled squad from L.I.U. Shooting a high percentage, the Blackbirds flew away with the 92-65 win on a televised game. A game with Queen’s College was cancelled and the meeting with Hofstra’s Flying Dutch¬ men was postponed by the Subway strike. The Terriers resumed their schedule at Ford High School by beating Siena 1 18-78. This es¬ tablished a school scoring record as Mark Tur- enshine and Gil Radday excelled with 28 and 24 points respectively. The glory of this 100 point win was short lived as the Terriers went down to four straight defeats: Hofstra, 99-86; Fairleigh Dickinson, 86-71 ; St. John’s, 92-66; and Wagner, 92-78. The losing streak was briefly interrupted as Gil Radday and Al Fisher led the Terriers to a 98-68 triumph over Adelphi. At South Orange, New Jersey, the Terriers and Seton Hall played a thrilling game for thirty-nine and a half minutes. The Pirates picked up a 90-88 win in the closing seconds with two free throws. This frustrating loss seemed to be the beginning of a trend. In games with LeMoyne and Fordham, the Ter¬ riers held a sizable lead most of the way but dropped behind at the end, losing 75-71 and 65-62. In Albany, the team picked up a second win over Siena College 96-79. Al Fisher tied the individual school scoring record with 38 points. The Terriers closed out the season with six successive defeats. At Madison Square Gar¬ den, Manhattan’s N.l.T.-bound Jaspers took a 75-64 victory over St. Francis. Other losses were to Niagara, 81-78; C.C.N.Y., 68-53; Iona, 80-58; St. Peter’s 95-85; and, on television, 100-75 to N.Y.U. Looking forward to next season, the team hopes to put their height to better advantage in the newly formed Metropolitan Basketball Conference. The Terriers final record in this conference was 0 wins and 9 losses; in the MECAA Conference the team finished with one win and four losses. Radday adds two more for the Terriers. 79 • ■ Hfc Jack Crispi, in one of his final College games. 1 _ ■■ film 81 Turenshine taps in two! Radday takes a jump shot.

But with the loss of four of the top six runners the hopes of both the harriers and the coach were smashed. Returning lettermen Jim McGuire, Ron Vallar and Mike DeZego along with new men Ed Haywood, Van Cerutti, Frank Clinton and Bill Rooney tried their best, but could do no better than a four and seven record. The desire was great but the lack of experience prevented them from winning more. The main standout on the St. Francis Cross Country team was Jim McGuire. His long distance running ability enabled him to always come in with the first finishers in every race. With the end of the Cross Country season, the run¬ ners turned to sprints of the indoor and outdoor season. There were three development meets at the 168th St. Armory in Manhattan. With each successive race times were bettered and a great deal of improvement was seen. Ed Haywood from St. Leonard’s H.S. and Van Cerutti from Bishop Dubois have provided a good deal of sprint¬ ing experience. Danny Grisebach, Bill Rooney, Brian Clancy and Mike DeZego are the other sprinters. Jim McGuire runs the middle distance and distance races. Right now the team is preparing a quartet to run in the Penn Relays when the outdoor sprint season comes around. The four best runners for the quarter mile will form a mile relay to compete in that race. This year’s team, although small and inexperienced, has practiced and performed with this perseverence and desire—necessary item for a successful track team. Group talk—“. . . let’s get out there and show them!” Jim McGuire—mainstay of the Cross Country Track Team. This year’s rifle team seemed to have had a hazardous opening; but, by mid¬ semester, it came back into its own. The team was plagued with a changing of leagues as well as a revision of the type of targets used. After their already brief shooting time was cut, the team was left with a meager six hours a week practice to enhance their marksmenship. If the team manages to survive this year, it will be in good contention for future league honors. Some of the teams that our squad will face are: Pace, Iona, Pratt, Stevens, Fordham, and Cooper Union. Leading the team and club with a strong 155 average are Fred Paoline and Lou Juhasz. Through the contributions of such prominent shots as G. Benes, J. Donavan, R. Seeber, R. Dalesio, J. West- field, M. Vivas, L. Gaqliano, and the re¬ turn of one of the teams greatest shots, M. Taschdjian, the future looks great for the team. I’ll get that guy yet! 86 I • jffL. Are you serious, do we really have to shoot against that team? You hit my target and I’ll hit yours. Sitting: Larry Kelly and Bob Pagano. Standing: Pete Waters, John Gebhard, Mike Greed, Lou Juhasz, John Belina. KEGLERS SURGE After an opening day sweep of three points to none over Yeshiva, the St. Francis bowling team presently finds itself in tenth place in the seventeen team Eastern Inter¬ collegiate Bowling Conference. At this writing only nine points separate the Terriers from first place. The only other sweep the team had was over Fordham. A series of close losses has kept them from entering the first division. In the fall, the Keglers had a disappointing finish while defending the M.E.C.A.A. title. However, they did manage to salvage the high individual game of the tourney. John Kolb, who is no longer with the team, rolled a big 247 game. The Terriers have a record of twenty wins and twenty- two losses in regular weekly action. The team’s high game is 1013 and high three game set is 2869. Bob Pagano holds all of the individual team honors. The regular Keglers include: Juniors John Gebbhard and captain Lou Juhasz; Sophomores Charlie Parente, Bob Pagano and Mike Creed; and Freshman Larry Kelly. Kelly’s fine bowling earned him a place on the starting squad. With none of the bowlers graduating this June, the team feels that they may be a contender for next year’s league championship. 88 89 Underclassmen THE ‘ masses” is a word that has taken to itself unfortunate connotations. Nevertheless, the core of any society does in fact consist of the masses: in the community they make up the citizenry; they are paralleled in a college by the underclass¬ men. In one sense the masses are underlings in that they are subordinate to authority. And no doubt the unhappy aura about the word stems from this gradation of rank. Yet para¬ doxically, it is the well-being of the masses, their “underlings,” for which authority dedicates and sacrifices itself. (At least this should be the case in a right-ordered society). The masses then, in serving, are served. Thus a community continually finds itself catering to the divergent interests of its masses through agencies of justice, education, commerce, health, welfare. Similarly, from his position of temporary subordination, the underclassman in a right-ordered college finds himself recipient of spiritual, intellectual, physical, and social oppor¬ tunities—all designed to lead toward his fullest maturity.

State St. Francis College maintains the Guid¬ ance Center as a special service to its students. The primary function of the Center is to provide counseling and test¬ ing to SFC students concerning matters of educational or vocational choice, job placement, educational planning and per¬ sonal-social development. One of the few college counseling ser¬ vices to receive the approval of the Amer¬ ican Board on Counseling Services, the Guidance Center is staffed by professional counselors especially selected for their training and experience in working with collegians who are making the types of decisions concerning their future educa¬ tion and occupation called for in each phase of personal development in college.

Fordham University ff Design for Miss Laura Fazio Under this plan, the College is fully committed to a 20-million dollar, 10-year program for deliberate and controlled growth in every area. The plan calls for a $4.6 million science center; a $2.5 million student union and monastery; $1.5 million athletic center; $1,000,000 in debt reduction; $6 million in student aid and loan programs; $6 million faculty development and new academic pro¬ grams. The Development office has the responsibility to help raise the funds. This year was given mainly to a fund drive to raise $1,000,- 000 toward the science center. From December, when the site was prepared, to ground breaking on May 3rd, the entire program was centered on the great push forward. The Alumni, Clergy, Parents of Students and the Brooklyn Business Community joined ranks behind the drive which was under the chairmanship of our president Brother Urban and was organ¬ ized by Rev. Brother Jarlath Murphy, O.S.F., the Development Director. Informing the public was again continued in fine style by the Public Relations office by Mr. Edward Quigley, the Director. News of the College was disseminated to all the media, the Alumni and the business community. The Alumni Association also under Mr. Quigley’s aegis, held its annual gala dinner; the father-and-son outing; homecoming basketball game (which ran afoul of the transit strike) and con¬ cluded its annual Fund program.

Destroy a building and a school lives on. But build new buildings and a school may die. Just as the fall of the Butler St. plant did not mean the destruction of St. Francis College, so the construction of the new building does not necessarily mean that the college will grow in proportion. Academic modernization must accompany any such architectural modernization, or our school, any school, will be running the risk of committing academic suicide. To safeguard against such a disastrous demise, improve¬ ment in the calibre of faculty is a necessary task. Engaging new professors, and encouraging present faculty members to improve upon their qualifications have been methods used by our administration to preserve a working academic atmos¬ phere—an atmosphere recently characterized by greater inter¬ action among faculty and students. It is the graduates specifically who will feel the benefits of these improvements. The knowledge that his degree and diploma will be recognized as coming from an academically sound institution, gives the graduate a great deal more con¬ fidence when applying for a job or for entrance to graduate school. JAMES J. FLYNN Professor of History; Chairman, Social The Diuisbn of The Division of Social Studies aims to awaken in the student a clear realization of his true position in a Christian Democracy. The courses in the division are geared to develop a love of one’s fellow man so that the student may participate in and work for the betterment of society; to acquaint him with a knowledge of our social and economic heritage which a study of the past provides as an interpretation of the present; to see always the working of Divine Providence and the exercise of man’s free will in molding and shaping the destinies of men and nations; to understand the need of a clear sense of values in summing up the importance of the past in relation to current situations; to furnish him with a knowledge of the teachings of our heritage and their application to modern social and economic issues. Majors offered in the division; Economics, History, Latin American Studies, Sociology, Social Studies—Secondary School Teacher Training and Social Studies in the Evening on a six year schedule.

The student is required to supplement his area courses with intensive language study in Spanish and Portuguese. Organize d around the basic liberal arts curriculum, the Latin American Studies Program places strong emphasis on developing a sympathetic awareness and intelligent understanding of Latin America—its history, problems, culture, and institutions, the hopes and aspirations of its people. The student, through formal academic ties with the University of Guanajuato, Mexico, will spend the summer of the junior year abroad. Moreover, the College supports informal university projects in several Latin American countries so that the student may participate from his freshman year in these undertakings. The student is given a strong insight into the eco¬ nomic, historical, intellectual, linguistic, political, reli¬ gious, and sociological background of Latin America.

The Division of Humanities has for its pri¬ mary purpose to instill into the student a breadth and depth of sympathy and vision by interpreting what is ennobling in the civiliza¬ tion and culture of man. Its aim is therefore to develop good taste through a knowledge of man’s thoughts and ideas as expressed in his language, literature, music and art. Its concern is with such realities as life, death, love, and the problems of good and evil and how these influence man in his relationship to society, his physical environment, his inner self, and his God. The division consists of the departments of Classical Languages, English, Fine Arts, Modern Languages and Speech.

Professor of Philosophy; B.A., Fordham Uni¬ versity; M.A., Ibid., Ph.D., Ibid. Within the framework of the teachings of the Church and in the light of the personal reality of Christ, Christian Philosophy investigates the meanings, purposes, and values inherent in the natural world. Through its endeavor to cultivate the growth of a philosophizing mind rather than a mere conceptual directory, true Philosophy can be of real and vital assistance to the Catholic stu¬ dent and graduate by developing within him a unique faculty, organic to the intellect itself. Not having been memorized, sound principles of thought cannot be forgotten; they will inevitably assist the thinking Christian to achieve his natural and super¬ natural ends by providing for a flexible yet secure core to the life of the mind. It is the specific aim of the Department, therefore, to develop philosophically “thought-minded” Catholics, able to discern philosophical error but unafraid of any truth. The courses in Psychology are designed specifically to help prepare the student for graduate work in modern Psychology and to supplement the basic courses for students who are preparing to teach; more generally, they endeavor to provide some awareness of the concerns and contributions of contemporary Psychology proportionate to the intellectual needs of an educated man today. The purpose of the course in Theology is twofold. First, the aim of these courses is to impart a clear and comprehensive knowl¬ edge of Catholic dogmatic and moral teachings; and secondly, to stress the necessity of Christian living and Christian leadership in today’s society.

BURKE Professor of Chemistry; Chairman, Division of Natural Sciences and Mathematics; B.A., St. Francis Col¬ lege; M.S., New York University; Ph.D., St. John’s University. Division of Natural Science The Division of Natural Science and Mathematics consisting of the departments of Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics, seeks to com¬ plement the aims of the College by teaching the fundamental concepts and principles which govern physical reality. It endeavors to cultivate a knowledge of the orderliness of science and the relations existing among the various sci¬ ences and thus foster in the student an appreciation of the material world as a masterpiece of God ' s creation. The Division further aims to prepare the student for graduate or pro¬ fessional school, or to meet the needs of those students who are preparing for entrance into certain vocational fields upon graduation. By agreement with the Haskins Laboratories, New York City, students recommended by the Division and accepted by the Laboratories are permitted to engage in microbiological research at the Haskins Laboratories under the supervision of members of the Haskins staff. Such staff members hold formal appointment as Associate Professors and Research Advisors to the College It is recommended that such students will have had or are taking course work in microbiology, physiology, biochemistry, and organic chemistry. The facilities of the Haskins Laboratories include those necessary for investigation of micro¬ bial physiology, especially the cultivation of planktonic marine and fresh- water bacteria and protozoa. An objective of this work is the development of micro-organisms as tools for attacking problems in mammalian physiology. Haskins Laboratories is certified as a teaching and research institution at the university level by the New York State Board of Regents.

DIVISION Of BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION The Division of Business Administration composed of the departments of Accounting, Business Law and Business Man¬ agement, affords the student the opportunity to direct his education towards a career in business. While the aim of imparting professional purpose to the student receives due emphasis, the Division does not attach major importance to the development of specific skills but rather to the inculcation of analytical thought habits and a desire to achieve compe¬ tence. The courses offered by the Division are based on the cultural and philosophical core provided in the liberal arts and are oriented towards the attainment of a basic understand¬ ing of the American business economy and an appreciation of the role which can be performed therein by a graduate of a Catholic college. The faculty of the Division seek to discern and develop the particular qualities and abilities of the student and to direct him towards the optimum realization of his potentialities. The Division offers majors in Accounting and Business Management leading to the B.B.A. (Bachelor of Business Ad¬ ministration) degree. Emphasis in the Accounting curriculum is upon completion of the academic requirements for the permissible parts of the C.P A. Examination; but the student may. by registering under the Business Management major and by judicious selection of accounting courses, prepare himself for managerial account¬ CHARLES M.

The Business Management major is designed to impart a basic knowledge of the major areas of business activity pro¬ duction, distribution, and finance—with particular emphasis upon the management principles inherent therein. Internship programs designed to provide a guided practical experience in both industrial and public accounting are avail¬ able to selected students. JAMES H.

There is in any year mo¬ ments of humor, reflection, conviviality, decision, agony, competition and just plain silliness. Some of these have been captured in the following pages and the staff of the FRANCISCAN has added its reaction to what the camera has immortalized. That reaction may not be the same as the readers, but it should be remembered that no two people react exactly alike to any given moment. Pleasant viewing! The Year in Retrospect During the year, Al Lambert’s record sales rose . . . 1% Once again, St. Francis had a Freshman class. and the faculty reacted to it. 162 Senior Class officers make Senior Week plans. The Soph-Frosh hop proved another smashing success. St. Francis men prepare to usher for Pope Paul ' s Yankee Stadium Mass. Senior treasury grew as girls flocked to dances with hopes of meeting the guy who never came. 164 All the young men have gone to Vietnam. Other young men joined the Football Club. 165 Rally ’round the Football Club. Please! Then the latest in men’s fashions appeared. 166 The Ecumenical movement brought Folk Masses to St. Francis. As other folk massed. 167 Some guys even went to class. Seniors thought of the Prom—and how to pay for it. 168 One Senior, Richie Fusaiotti, tried to decide which girl to ask to the Prom. Marymount fielded a football team. 169 While St. Francis kept trying And then it was March. Sing for joy. The year is nearing its close - . ,Tm W 171 I Ask any scholar. Graduation finally came. 172 Patrons The staff of the FRANCISCAN here extends sincere thanks to those whose assistance made the printing of this book possible, in a year of particularly trying financial problems . . .

He may, and usually does reserve a page on which he leaves his own personal thoughts—thoughts of gratitude for those kind and talented people who built his yearbook with him; thoughts of frustration of not having fully realized the mental image of the book formu¬ lated during the previous summer’s months, and thoughts of pride in the 184 pages which some of his friends tell him “are nicely done.” This is one page of the FRANCISCAN which will never go through the copy department, re¬ vised, reworded, rehashed, and refused. And this is the editor’s great advantage, for even if he fears he has handled his page poorly, he can cleverly deceive himself by showing it to no one—save the linotypist at the printing house. But enough of this! With what space I have left I would like to “thank the many without whose cooperation, this venture would not have been possible.” Votes of thanks must go to . . . the Franciscan staff, who patiently bore the pain as the new editor learned his business; our moder¬ ator, Mr. Clifford, the man who had the answers to any problem. His answers will be missed; Dan Clancy, my good friend and cohort who labored diligently and lost more shoe leather trying to piece together the senior section; Steve Mulligan and Paul Ferlazzo—I hope good friends for their unending struggle against illiteracy; Ted Tim¬ mins, whose ability to perform under impossible circumstances saved many a day; Nick Caccavo, an extremely talented artist whose works adorn this book; James Palmer for his disposition after I redid all his layouts; Mrs. Burke who brightened our lives with her smile and filled our office with much needed supplies; John Ferriaoli, a talented associate and a good friend who now has the an¬ swer to his question—“what’s going on?”; our untiring printers—the New City people, Eddie Adams and Frank Ball, Jr. who listened patiently to a bumbling inconsistent editor ... as another deadline slowly drifted away; to our photog¬ raphers from Lorstan, Bill Welter and George Rubins, for their excellent pictures in our gradu¬ ate section and for the hard time I gave them over head sizes; Joseph Westfield and Ed Jawor- ski for their witty antics which kept us going when the times were rough. Peter Moore, a professional photographer who gave us the photos of the happening; Brother Urban, for his kind words and sympathetic under¬ standing ; and lastly to the students without whose queries as to the “whereabouts of the Book,” we might have forgotten the whole thing.
