We now take our place in this lona line of St. lohn's men and We otier this book in token of our gratitude to the Faculty. By the Priests ot the Con- areqation of the Mission have we been trained, by them our ideals moulded. To them and to the lay- men who have Worked under their direction, we, the Seniors of l936, humble spokesmen for the Seniors of other years, owe a debt of immeasurable propor- tion, an obligation to be repaid only as it has been formed, by service to mankind. To express in some measure our appreciation, We men ot St. lohn's have elected to make this Year Book a tribute to our Faculty. And what is Writ, is writ. Would it were worthier.-- nd gladly teche he heir of C111 the ages Nr History of the Class of 1936 Freshman, 1932 HE Hrst trial to which the men of '36 were subjected, was administered by Vincent J. Little, '35, and his Sophomore Vigilance Committee. With many, innocent and unsuspecting, We Were ushered into Room 30l and promptly brought face to face with some of life's harsher realities. We left this traditional scene of initiation, decked out in red cap and tie, sadder and Wiser men, but with a class spirit rapidly being formed, In the days that followed H3Ol became indelibly engraved upon our memories for here the sanctions which are the lot of all Freshmen were imposed upon us by that inevitably strong arm of tradition, the Sophomore Class. Under the supervision of the latter, our first elections were held. Joseph X. Glynn was chosen president, William F, Byrnes, vice-president, Paul V. Buonaguro, secretary, Martin H. Foery, treasurer, and George O. Doran, representative of the Student Council Under the able chairmanship of Robert P. Henry, our primary social func- tion took place in De Gray Hall. . Nor was the more serious aspect of extra-curricula effort neglected as a rep- resentative percentage of the men of '36 assumed a place on the staffs of the Vin- centian, and the Torch, in the Glee Club, Orchestra, and Debating Society. Even in the Freshman year, the class manifested an interest in Dramatics that was indicative of the leading part it played in the stage efforts of St. John's during the next three years. In the serious anti-War vehicle, Journey's End , two Freshmen, namely John T. Avery, Jr., and Irving G. Williams, portrayed major roles. Page 4 0 l Sophomore, 1933 A magical reversal of position typical of college life occurred in September of 1933, when the class of '36, the underdogs of the preceding year, gained the upper hand over the incoming Freshman Class. Under the leadership of the blonde Viking, Frank A. Raugalas, the Chairman of the Vigilance Committee, the now domineering and overbearing Sophomores entered into the task of molding a class out of the Yearlings. At the annual class elections, Martin H. Foery, was made presidentg Robert P. Henry, vice-president, Julius E. Bigliani, secretary, and John A. Sullivan, treasurer. George O. Doran and Vincent R. Young were the selections for stu- dent council. Salvatore Di Giovanna was chosen to head the committee for the class dance. This year the class assumed a greater degree of responsibility in the literary world at St. John's. On the Torch, the majority of work on the News Board was accomplished by John T. Avery, Jr., Ferdinand F. Bachman, Joseph F. Trimble, Charles E. Graves, George O. Doran, John A. Hamilton, J. Russell Leghorn, and John A. Sullivan. The men of '36 on the Sports Staff included Henry J. Mohr, Michael J. Coviello, Constantine R. Vasilakas, Vincent R. Young and Joseph R. Norton. Frank J, Selinger assisted in the business depart- ment and Irving G. Williams on the circulation staff. - During our second year an incident occurred that was to have far reaching effects in the history of one of the minor extra-curricular activities at St. John's. The class felt honored when George O. Doran, one of its members was selected Page 41 Chairman of the Debating Society, but few realized at the time that it was to be mainly through the efforts of this man that the debating unit at St. John's was to become one of the major exponents of the forensic art among the institu- tions of higher education on the Atlantic seaboard. lt was in the realm of athletics, however, that the class of '36 made its outstanding impression in Sophomore year. Ernest C. Oeding won the position as regular center on the basketball team which he did not relinquish during the remainder of his career at St. John's. Another Soph, Frank J. Maguire, saw much service as the sixth man on the squad while William F. Byrnes, Philip J. Carey and Vincent J. Leary completed the roster of '36 names on the Varsity squad. , Vincent R. Young, Frank A. Raugalasi and Albert J. Testagrossa were the leaders on the Jay Vee team which ran through a successful season. . In track, Martin H. Foery, the class president, was one of the star per- formers while Charles T. O'Neill, Anson H. Lawrence, Anthony M. Nicolosi and Mathew A. Puppilla were found in the line-up of the fencing team. On Thanksgiving Eve, the class dance was conducted in conjunction with the now friendly Freshman Class in De Gray Hall. ln addition to marking the end of hostilities between the two classes, another tradition was established by the success of the affair. This dance has been followed by others produced under the combined efforts of the two lower classes. junior, 1934 With the advent of Junior year, the class of '36, entered into a new phase of collegiate life. The cap and gown, symbol of the upper classes was donned and definite positions of responsibility were taken. The first contact we had with these new duties was in the publication of the Torch, the weekly paper of the college, which is annually placed under the supervision of the Junior class. John A. Sullivan was selected by his predecessors as Editor-in-chief. The Observa- tion Tower was written by Charles Graves in his capacity of associate editor. Vincent R. Young fulfilled the duties of Managing Editor and Michael J. Coviello reviewed the athletic events of the year as Sports Editor. The student body was informed of the happenings on other campuses by Ferdinand F. Bach- man, Exchange Editor, and conductor of the column, The College Whirl. John A. Hamilton presided over the humorous aspect of the paper as the editor of Torchy. The class of '36 is marked as one which blazed the trail for new traditions and delved into the shadows of the irrevocable past to revive the old. The eve- ning of February ll found the third-year man engaged in the social event of his college days, the Junior Prom. Under the chairmanship of Robert P. Henry, the Hotel Towers became the scene of the renewal of this tradition. The members of the class who played active roles in the Speaker's Associa- tion were Ferdinand F. Bachman, as Secretary, George O. Doran, Francis J. Healy, Thomas R. Burns and John A. Sullivan. During this third year, the officers of the class were John A. Hamilton, presidentg Francis A. Raugalas, secretary: John A. Sullivan, treasurer: George Page 4 2 O. Doran, Vincent R. Young and Joseph X. Glynn, Student Council Repre- sentatives. When Harry J. Lee left St. John's to enter professional school, Vin- cent De Dominicis was elected vice-president. May 1, 1935, witnessed the traditional Tap Day ceremonies, when twelve Juniors, in recognition of the prominent roles they had played in extra-curric- ular activities during their three years at college, were admitted into Skull and Circle, Senior Honor Fraternity. John A. Sullivan was selected Skull Number One. The other members inducted into the Honor Fraternity were Vincent R. Young, Frank A. Raugalas, Frank J. Selinger, Irving G. Williams, George O. Doran, Ferdinand F. Bachman, Martin H. Foery, Anton W. Bondy, Michael J. Coviello, Charles E. Graves and Edmund G. O'Connor. Senior, l935-6 In Senior year, there is ever a mingled note of joy and sorrow in the com- plexion of a class for the future and the past seem to meet here, to blend into one forming a fusion of hope and expectation for the years to come and a regret that the days of the past, the carefree, pleasant days of college, are nearly over. As a fitting climax to an active career on the platform at St. John's, George O. Doran was elected Executive President of the Speaker's Association and Man- ager of the Debating Society. Ferdinand F. Bachman was again Secretary- Treasurer of the Speaker's and Francis J. Healy participated in several debates. In dramatics, John A. Hamilton was selected President of the Society and Irving G. Williams, Student Director of the Play. When the curtain rose on the Annual Minstrel, the Graduating Class again found itself represented in the persons of John T. Avery, the Student Director of the show, and Daniel A. Shay, who played a prominent part in presenting this performance. In the Held of athletics, Ernest C. Oeding, Frank J. McGuire, Vincent R, Young and Frank A. Raugalas, played a prominent part in the basketball vic- tories of the varsity squad while Albert J. Testagrossa was one of the mainstays of the Jay-Vee team. Martin H. Foery again was a luminary on the Track Team and Michael J. Carpinello assisted in many of the triumphs. Edmund G. O'Connor captained the Rifle Team, and Frank J. McGuire, the Baseball. Other fourth-year men who were active in the great American pastime were John J. Dixson, Francis X. Walsh, Philip J. Carey, Vincent J. Leary, Albert J. Testa- grossa, Melziale C. Fieramosca and Thomas O. Darrigan. In that ancient sport of the nobility, fencing, Charles T. O'Neill was captain of the squad. Anton W. Bondy was manager of both the baseball and basketball teams. Charles E. Graves was President of the Crusade Society assisted by Cleiinent D. Brown, Ferdinand F. Bachman and Joseph F. Trimble. The Senior Ball held in the Savoy Plaza in New York City proved to be one of the most distinctive social events of the year. Much credit for this splendid affair must be given to Vincent J. De Dominicis, Chairman. Thus, the record of another era in St. John's student history is written. May God grant that the future of these St. John's men will reflect their past. Page 4 3 JOHN T.

Page 99 nd sweet girl graduates in their golden hair JUNIQRS History of the Junior Class ONE the scarlet cap, the crimson cravat: gone the pseudo-sophistication of the sophomore: the men of '37 don the hall-mark of distinction . . . the cap and gown, J J Placing our heads together we soon selected, as was natural, Tom Grimes to pilot us on this adventuresome year. As first and second mates, Jim Hagan and Tom Costello. The purser duties we handed over to Tom Tallon. And so our Junior crew set under way. Launched upon a year of busy activity, the publication of the Torch, a paramount interest of the Junior Class, called a number of the third year men together to try their hand at managing a college weekly. Tom Grimes directed operations over the editor's desk. The picture of Tom endeavoring to make material for eight pages stretch into ten will never be forgotten. An editor does have his worries! In order to view the college campus more thoroughly Tom Bachman climbed into the Observation Tower while Bill McCauliife sprang into the collegiate vortex of the College Whirl . Under the guise of l'Torchy , Bob Gately gave us the inside of what constitutes college humor. He quipped and pranked nobly in spite of the censoring scissors, Al Smith vividly produced the 'AGallico Touch while giving us his sports slants in At a Glance , as Jack Haynes, Business Manager, was busy making both ends meet. Charlie Baudinet, George Dodd, Pete Napoli, and Tom Costello rounded out the journalistic corps. The pie. of collegiate activity we soon found to contain more than one slice. Cutting themselves a generous portion by means of sheer physical prowness, Page 102 Jack Shanley, Pat Joyce, Al Smith and others showed us just how athletic abil- ity is best expressed. Jack Shanley, chosen to lead next year's quintet, proved himself to be an extremely dexterous and versatile ball-handler. It was certainly a i'Junior year for the men of '37, Activity after activity floats through our minds in which we can see the members of the gang play- ing a vital part, Such pictures as that of Vinnie McCarthy washing down the Thespian boards for Dave Botte to stalk across them in dramatic glory . . . of Jack Flynn, editor of our literary magazine, Sequoya begging for the Ches- tertons, the Scotts and the Shelleys to reveal themselves . . . of Clem Driscoll holding forth on the Speaker's rostrum decrying the abuses of the government in Mexico in eloquent and philosophical oratory . . . of Jim Walsh forensically attacking the debaters from the University of Hawaii, all finally ending up in a mutual exchange of Alohas . All these mental imaes, however, blend into one kaleidoscopic panorama as our mind's eye reviews once again our Junior Prom. With the twinkling lights of Manhattan's skyscrapers as a scenic background, the men of '37 gath- ered together for that memorable event in the spacious Astor Gallery of the Waldorf Astoria. The night, clear, cold, and sharp, caused the music, the gay laughter, and the soft lights to appear all the more warming. The committee under the capable guidance of George Dodd assisted by Driscoll, McCarthy, Haynes, Sullivan, Duffy, Smith, Comaschia, McGrath, Tallon and Schaeffer was mainly responsible for making the Prom the success it was, Bill McCune and his Rhine Land Gardens orchestra supplied the music. His melodious strains and soft tunes added much to the pleasures of congenial company, To all the Juniors assembled in one happy group the remembrance of this Junior Prom will linger long. How softly mellow will it grow as the years roll on. Page 103 ucfrdicms of hallowed tradition SGPHCMGRES Sophomore Class History EPTEMBFR, l935, and once more the college corridors were thronged with sun-tanned, exuberant youth. One group, however, seemed to be enjoying themselves much more than the others. Collecting in little bands here and there throughout the school, they eyed those among their fellows who appeared most ill at ease, and alternately conferring among themselves and wielding imaginary paddles they, as little Audrey might have put it, laughed and laughed and laughed. Because they knew that in the afternoon they'd be swinging real paddles. And that's exactly what these husky Sophomores of '38 did do, The hapless Frosh can testify to that, ' But the daily noon-time shambles that marked the hazing period were gradually forgotten as the Sophomores, one hundred and fifty strong by virtue of last year's February Freshmen, sought other activities to which they could devote their restless talents. The Torch, Sequoya, and Vincentian all numbered recruits from the ranks of '38 as did debating, the various varsities, dramatics, and the fraternities-but each of these is a separate story. First of all came the class elections, and after a stormy session in De Gray the Torch announced to the world at large that Francis McNamara, he of the laconic tongue and quiet smile, was to rule the destinies of the blood-thirsty Sopohomoresg that Charlie Dowling, student par excellence and all'round good fellow, was to assist him in the capacity of vice-president: and that lanky Tom O'Connell and steadfast Jack Stephenson were to perform as secretary and treasurer respectively. Thanks- giving Eve will live forever in the annals of college history and the memories of those who were present as the date of the greatest SophHFrosh Dance ever. Page 106 No resume of Sophomore activities would be complete unless we put in a word about that rugged, blonde Adonis of the basketball courts-Jerry Bush. Your daily newspapers have already informed you of his court Wizardry: suffice it to say here that he brought to Buck Freeman's varsity the extra spark that placed it among the top-flight teams in the metropolitan area. CN.B. St. .lohn's had more feminine rooters this year than ever before.j Jimmy Keane, leading scorer on the J.V., also put in an appearance in several of the varsity games. We have a hunch he'll do more than that next year. Said J.V., incidentally, was composed entirely of sophomores-Billy Kohut, Carl Polzer, Demo Fragola, Jim'iCowley, and Jack Stephenson, furnishing most of the highlights. Hughie Toner, Henry Egal, Bob Lynch, and Sal Gulli lived up to the promises of Fresh- man year by their performances on the Track team. One of the outstanding events on the social schedule of the college each year is the Dramatic Society's annual production. This year they gave a performance of The Milky Way , the Broadway hit of 1934, and the Sophomores were well represented as four of their classmates took over roles. Harry Farrell and Archie Byrne, veterans of Three-Cornered Moon , repeated the successes of their Freshman year as May Sullivan and Wilbur Austin respectively. Dick Byrnes of the raucous voice and pleasant personality was perfectly at home in the role of Spider while John Mooney made his debut as a College Thespian as Eddie, a reporter.. The news board of the Torch was dotted with Sophomore names through- out both semesters. It bodes well for next year publication when the entire paper will be in the hands of '38. Sophomores also helped in the rejuvenation of Sequoya, the Literary magazine. Page 107 se every man after his desert, and who Should 'sccxpe whipping ..... History of the Class of 339 ITH the close of the summer vacation, St. John's again threw open her portals to welcome back her sons. Among the crowd of familiar faces that surged through her open doors were many new, slightly bewildered coun- tenances. The class of '39 had arrived, 165 strong. Eager for a taste of college life, the newcomers were delivered into the capa- ble hands of the Sophomore Vigilance Committee. Throughout the warm Indian summer the Sophs labored patiently and dilgently to make true Redmen of the Frosh. Again and again the cry, Rush 'em Froshl echoed across the broad expanse of the De Gray battlefield and each time the Freshmen struggled valiantly but vainly for freedom from tyrannical rule. Then came that glorious day when the Class of '39 beat the Class of '38 on the gridiron. There was no need now to wear the glaring red ties and the ridiculous little red hats. Peace was officially established at the traditional Soph-Frosh Dance on Thanksgiving Eve. The awe-inspiring paddle, symbolical of the eihcient teach- ing methods that transformed high school graduates into college men, was sol- emnly presented to Albert Abajian, Freshman co-chairman of the Dance Com- mittee. The Class of '39 had been received into the social life of St. Johnls. Now that the class had earned its freedom from Sophomore rule, elections were held for class officers. John Kane was elected President and George McMahon was the choice to represent the class on the Student Council. Joseph McGrade was elected Vice-President, Edgar Treacy, Treasurerg and Edwin Murphy, Secretary. Page 110 Meanwhile, the class had been taking its place in athletics. Freshman Field Day was excellently supported by the class. The victorious Frosh were led by William Ahearn, who won two gold and two silver medals, and Clifford Fusco, who won two gold medals. Gold medals were also earned by George McMahon and John Kump, The Frosh Basketball quintet played a banner season, winning twenty-two out of twenty-five games. Judging by the excellent performances of Captain Louis Amoroso, William Lloyd, George Palmer, James Gorman, and Philip Tuminello, we may expect much from our future varsities. The track team, too, has drawn valuable men from the Class of '39 in the persons of John Erhardt, Larry Riggio, Thomas Costello, and Justin Griffin. Intramural activities have been well supported by the Frosh. ln football, they defeated the Sophs but lost to the Seniors in a hard fought battle. In bas- ketball, the Frosh met with a severe streak of hard luck, often losing games by the slim margin of a single basket. Finally, the tide turned, but too late, and the Freshmen won four of the last six games. Boxing received the same eager support from the Frosh. February found the Class of '39 augmented by a new group of Freshmen. These young men also were entrusted to the gentle, conscientious Sophs for transformation into college men. Again there was the shuffle of rushing feet and the sharp, resounding whack of the paddle as the Vigilance Committee carried out its sacred duty. Once more, red caps and ties and white socks flashed in the corridors of St. John's. The Freshman Frolics marked the establishment of permanent peace be- tween the Class of '38 and the new members of the Class of '39. This eve of hilarious, comedy, excellent entertainment, and superb dancing was the first independent social undertaking of the Freshman Class. Page III ent hand in hand wiih Science The lote Rev. Andrew l. Dawson, C.M., Ph.D. The lute Francis I. Fuchs, Ph.D. Former Head of Biology Department Former Head of Chemistry Department O live in hearts we leave behind is not to die. We, Seniors of 1936, bow -in prayer before memory's shrine of tribute to twin scientists who have passed on to the Author of Science. Rev. Andrew I. Dawson, C.M., Ph.D., Vincentian scholar, was for many years head of the Department of Biology. Metropolitan New York looked to him as a profound contributor to modern science. He was an indefatigable re- search artist, a tireless lecturer, the author of original syntheses in Bacteriology and text books and treatises in the general biological field. ln the summer of l935, Almighty God summoned him. Francis J. Fuchs, Ph.D., molded his life and career in the jeweled cast of perfect culture, renowned scholarship, and sublime faith. We and our fellow students studied under this scholar as head of the Department of Chemistry. We enjoyed his friendship as founder and executive member of the Roger Bacon Scientific Society, the only organization of its kind in Catholic University circles. In the interim between our Freshmen and Junior years, Almighty God summoned him. Page II5 t is for the young to DO The Sodality ISDOM and goodness are not synonyms. It is one thing to teach a man to be good, another to teach him to be wise. A system of education, there- fore, that not only enriches mind and body but also strengthens and moulds the will to act in conformity with the holy will of God must necessarily be considered the ideal. The Catholic College insists on this complete education, the education that trains all the faculties of the soul equally and uniformly. The Sodality, in St. John's, is of the very libre, warp, Woof, and timbre of college life: it supplements the courses in Religion and Philosophyz it is not acci- dent or ornament: it is of the essence of St. John's life. As is true of any enterprise, the Sodality reflects the type of man who is the Director. Here at St. John's We have been especially fortunate in having men Page 118 at the head of the Sodality who have been outstanding in their work, men who have traveled widely, who have had much experience in their divinely appointed task of leading souls to the way of truth and light. Because of the added duties of his position, the Very Rev. Edward J. Walsh was forced to resign as Director of the Sodality, a place which he had held for nine years, when he became president of the university. Rev. Edward J. Sellman, who had come from the missionary field to the post of vice-president, was appointed to this ofhce, recently vacated by Father Walsh. One of the principal events in St. John's life each year is the Retreat held annually in the last week of October. Rev. Francis Beatty who has been actively engaged in missionary work in various parts of the United States for several years was the Retreat Master. Due to the practical aspects of his sermons and their treatment of many of the problems of the modern day which perplex the college man, the student body entered wholeheartedly into the spirit of the three days. A distinct innovation in the program of the Sodality during the past year was the distribution of a religious questionnaire. Its purpose was to ascertain the general spiritual tone of the students and to bring to light some of the difli- culties and questions of the sodalists in order that these might be discussed at the bi-monthly meetings. The results of these questionnaires were published in pamphlet form during each semester. During the past year, the Sodalities of the several Catholic institutions of higher education in the Metropolitan area conducted a Symposium at which the various phases of the Mexican situation were discussed by their representatives. The Colleges of New Rochelle, Good Counsel, Mt. St. Vincent, Fordham and St. John co-operated in this plan. The Symposium was held at each of these colleges in turn during the first five weeks of Lent. In June another band of young men will leave St. John's and enter the larger world of life with its manifold temptations and struggles. At graduation they will say farewell to St, John's but not to her teachings, not to the spirit of the men who have trained them for life, not to the devotion instilled into them by her program of blending the spiritual, the physical, and the intellectual. In this delevolpenmt the Sodality played a major part. The lessons learned here will follow them always. Page 119 Student Council NARRYING the theory of representative government into university life, the Student Council of St. John's College stands before the administration as the duly elected representatives of its student body. The Council gives to the undergraduates an active participation in and appreciation for the duties and obligations of university administration. Elected by an overwhelming majority, Vincent R. Young became the eighth president of Student Council. The remaining four of the allotted five Senior representatives were George O. Doran, Joseph X. Glynn, Michael J. Coviello, and Ferdinand T. Bachman. From the Junior Class the delegates were Clement V. Driscoll, Albert J. Smith and Charles A. Baudinet. The Sophomores sent Robert Grogan and James Lee. The voice of the Freshman Class was George McMahon Whose duty, according to the Constitution, is to act as Secretary of the organization. A development of the Council's precedent of requiring financial reports and budgets to be submitted to it was made. As a result of this progressive legisla- tion, the college has witnessed a series of social events which were financially successful. The traditions of Catholic education for exemplary citizenship admits of intelligent and inspired discussions of current collegiate problems. Collegians wandering past the Council Chamber on the alternate Tuesday of the month were reminded of the Halls of Congress during a flery debate, so heated were the arguments. l Page 120 Skull and Circle AP DAY-May l, l935-found the largest class of Juniors in the history of St. Johnls College arrayed in the De Gray Auditorium before an audience of five hundred faculty members and students. The retiring group of Skull and Circle Members, honoring the Juniors who had 'displayed the mostprominent qualities of leadership in scholastic, social, and athletic activities during the three years of their collegiate life, selected twelve men for membership in the Senior Honor Fraternity. Those chosen, in the order of their achievements, were John A. Sullivan, Vincent R. Young, Fkank J. Selinger, Francis A. Raugalas, Irving G. Williams, Anton Bondy, George O, Doran, Ferdinand F. Bachman, Michael J. Covi- ello, Charles E. Graves, Martin H. Foery, and Edmund G. O'Connor. The new members of Skull and Circle were tendered a banquet that evening at which the Very Reverend Edward J. Walsh, C.M., President of St. John's University, and Professors Francis X. Polo and Ernest G. Theroux were present. Father Walsh congratulated the group and urged the members as leaders to culti- vate moral and intellectual sanity, The men of '36 have accomplished much in promoting the interests of St. John's. These twelve members of Skull and Circle as the foremost leaders of their class, have been the guiding lights in all student activities during the last four years.

Composed of both graduate and undergraduate members, it has, since its inception, brought the principles of Catholic thought to more than one hundred and ten thousand people at approximately eight hundred gatherings. During the last year the association has entered new fields, namely the radio and lecture courses. John V. Newman, '35, former Executive President, made several addresses over the air waves on Nationalism and Catholic Educa- tion. ln the course of this year Clement V. Driscoll, '37, delivered a series of five speeches from one of lVlanhattan's broadcasting studios concerning the atti- tude of the Catholic college man toward many of the problems of the present day.

Throughout the year, lectures by missionaries were sponsored by the Society. To render assistance where need was felt, several committees sprang into being. John Haynes, '37, of the Finance Committee assumed the task of raising funds. Two committees for the collection of old magazines, newspapers and cancelled stamps were guided in their endeavours by Clement D. Brown, and John B. Flynn, '37, The annual Crusade Bridge and Dance, under the co-chairmanship of Joseph X. Glynn, '36, and Miss Rose O'Brien of the Auxiliary Committee, was a financial and social success. A Crusade Committee under the leadership of William Smith, '37, and George Dodd, '37, Was appointed to gather discarded clothing for distribution among the poor. The all-important light of publicity has been shed upon these various Crusade activities and kept before the student eye by Weekly issues of the Cru- sader which is edited by John C. Corbett, '36, and his Art Assistant, Earl Flynn, '36. The series of lectures by Dr. Arnold Lunn, the Rev. James M. Gillis, C.S.P., Carlton J. Hayes, Right Rev. Mons. Fulton J. Sheen and the Very Rev.

Page 123 Council of Debate S basketball has spread the fame of St. John's in the athletic world, so has the Council of Debate brought an international reputation to Alma Mater in forensic circles. The Varsity team composed of George O. Doran, '36, Francis Healy, '36, John J. Donovan, '36, James Walsh, '37g Thomas Grimes, '37, William Clare, '38, and Edwin Carin, '38, matched wits with such prominent colleges and universities as St. Thomas, Catholic Georgetown, Mount St. Vincent's. New York U., Rutgers, Canisius, Villanova, Dana, United 'States Military Academy, and Rhole Island State College. International debates were conducted with Cambridge University of England, Hawaii University, and Melbourne University of Australia. The international debates were held at De Gray Hall in conjunction with Sigma Tau Literary Fraternity. A College debating wasn't the only activity of the Council, for they sent many exhibition teams to various parishes throughout the city for discussions before Holy Name Societies. They also represented St. John's at the Tau Kappa Alpha Conference held at Rhode Island State College and made a trip south to Washington to engage Georgetown University in a debate. Much credit must be given to George O. Doran, '36, the President-Marv agerg Francis Healy, '36, the Vice-President, and John J. Donovan, '36, the Secretary and Treasurer, for their untiring interest in the advancement of this activity. Mr. Donovan also acted as Manager of the Research Department and Rev. Joseph V. O'Driscoll served as Moderator of Debate. Page 12 4 The Minute Men NTERING on its third year, the organization of the Minute Men realized almost immediately the long awaited results of untiring labor. Active membership was swelled to thirty-five, activities took on ar purposefulnair, and results were definite and conclusive., In upholding successfully in the press of the nation the Catholic viewpoint on controversial questions, the Minute Men at last have arrayed themselves in the front ranks of Catholic Action. 3 Two to three thousand signed petitions and scores of letters have been sent to our executive and legislative officers in the Federal, State and Municipal gov- ernments, stating the attitude of American Catholics on religious conditions in Mexico. Due to the inspired efforts of an organization committee entitled the 'Flying Squad , the attendance at our Symposium on the Mexican situation was greatly increased. E The Minute Men have also taken up the cudgel in behalf of Catholic liter- ature, Investigation has revealed a dearth of Catholic magazines and periodicals in our key public libraries, and campaign has been intiated whereby funds are provided to supply them with Catholic literature.

Page 125 Sigma Tau N conformity with its purpose, namely to stimulate interest and to foster endeavor in college literary activities in addition to encouraging fellowship and congeniality in the group engaged in these pursuits, Sigma Tau assumed a new place in the extra-curricula life of the college during the past year. By serv- ing as the sponsor of the international debates, Sigma Tau was a definite factor in increasing the attendance at these cultural discussions. These debates were conducted against Cambridge University of England and the University of Hawaii. Since its re-oranization in September of I934, the fraternity has pursued a policy of increasing its membership, a condition brought about by the rapid rise in the enrollment of the college. This year has found the fraternity with the largest membership since its inception in 1929. An aH'air which has grown to be a tradition in the last few years is the Sigma Tau Sport Dance held at the Marine and Field Club on graduation night. Here the Seniors who have received their diplomas that afternoon gather with the undergradutes in the last social function in which they will all meet as stu- dents of St. John's.

This year's performance witnessed a change in the presentation of the revue. A plot cleverly arranged around a courtroom setting brought out the qualities of the some fifty or more actors. Under the guidance of John T. Avery, '36, President of the Society, the show was produced. John Murphy, '38, directed and Daniel Shay, '36, was General Chairman, The diflicult setting was laid under the directions of Vincent De Dominicis, '36. An outstanding feature was the ensemble. Its members, unique in their rare and hilarious presentations, added greatly to the comedy. Clement Driscoll, '37, brought the court to order in the person of the Judge and tried desperately to keep it as such while Edwin Carine, '38, and Richard Byrnes, '38, as the two lawyers, sought to convince a willing audience as to the logic of their illogical arguments. Frank O'Connor, '38, was the plaintiff in the case of Jones vs. White and John Mooney, '38, was the de- fendant. Other black-faced witnesses were: Martin Poery, '36: Louis Baxter, '37g George Dodd, '37, and John Keating, '39. Hugh Toner, '38, and Vincent Rebak, '38, were cast in important roles.

These talks were intended to be of assistance to the members in their scientiiic studies. A On October 28, in the annual ceremony, the neyv pledges Were initiated into the society. From the list of proposed candidates, twenty-four were chosen for membership. The young scientists held a Christmas party in the gaily decorated De Gray Hall on December 28, playing host to their fellow students, the Faculty, and the Alumni of St. John's.

BAIRD Page 128 The Orchestra MONG the student achievements of the past year which are deserving of special commendation, the development of the school orchestra, officially known as The St. John's Redmenn, is worthy of note. Perhaps the most significant point in this rapid progress is the fact that it dates back to the advent of Joseph Caronia in the student body. Bringing with him a trained talent, the result of several years of experience as a professional musician, he provided the technical knowledge and inspiration necessary for building up a smooth functioning musical unit. The results of these efforts eH'ectively illustrate the calibre of the orchestra. In the past year the Redmen have broadcast over the radio on numerous occa- sions. They have assisted at many diocesan affairs in addition to playing at the majority of the school functions. An invaluable attribute of this organi- zation is its versatility. Although modern popular music is the specialty of the Redmen , this band possesses a variety of classical and semi-classical numbers in its repertoire, a fact thatienables it to furnish the music at affairs of a more formal nature. An example of this latter type of engagement was the Sodality Symposium conducted on the fourth Sunday of Lent. Q One of the major social functions of the first semester at which the l'Red- nien presided 'Was the annual Soph-Frosh dance held in De Gray Hall on Thanksgiving Eve. Other affairs at which the orchestra have appeared were the Minstrel, the Frosh Frolics and the Dramatic Society's Play. Page 129 The Glee Club N the development of the full man at St. John's, the spirit, if not the letter, of the old classical quotation, Alf a man have no music in his soul, shun him, has been followed, for the Glee Club has always been an integral part of the extra-curricular scheme. The first appearance of the C1lee Club as a complete unit occurred at the Christmas assembly. New arrangements of St. John's songs and a selection of carols and hymns symbolical of the Yuletide season were ren- dered. Alma Mater, l'Old St. John's'y and 'ACheer for the Red and White were the school songs arranged in the form of a medley by the Director, Rev. Francis J. McDonnell, C.M. The Glee Club continued its policy of broadcasting once during the course of the year over the Paulist Father's Radio Station, WLWL. Gerard Maguire, '38, was the soloist on this occasion. In accordance with an old tradition, a quartet selected from the society sang during the masses and services of the Annual Retreat. This quartet was com- posed of Daniel Shay, '36, Gerard Maguire, '38: John Murphy, '38, and John Haynes, '37.

Since that time this origi- nal ideal has been broadened to include activities of a social nature that have been a definite factor in the extra-curricular life of the institution. In the history of Alpha Iota Delta, the fraternity has sponsored several contests that have done much to encourage effort of a literary nature. Note- worthy among these were the poetry competition for the Felix de Andreis Medal and the Essay Contest conducted in conjunction with the Italian Consul to the United States. The activities of the fraternity will be brought to a close with the annual dance conducted on June 19 at the Half Moon Hotel. Joseph R. Roe, '36, who is chairman of this event, promises that it will equal those of former years. President .... .. SALvAToRE D1 GIOVANNA, '36 Vice-President ., ,...

Janeske, '33, the founder of the society, to keep the public informed concerning the events taking place within the institution. A new phase of activity was introduced into the organiZaton's program during the past year. Accounts of the Work of St. John's students, in scholastic, social, athletic and literary endeavors were dispatched to the school papers of the high schools or prep schools from which the men were graduated. As is consonant With every successful effort, the attainments of the Press Bureau have improved in each of its six years of existence. The amount of space obtained in the pages of the New York, Brooklyn and Long Island papers reached the highest total since the inception of the bureau. Prof. Francis X.

Doyle, '38 Page 133 Dramatic Society THE season of 1935-1936 saw the third straight time The Dramatic Society of St. John s presented a student directed play and it proved beyond a doubt that no matter how many thespians were lost by graduation each year that others could always be had to take their places. Faced at the beginning of the season with the loss of John Schlecter, Student Director for two years, and such stars of the past as Ed Fitzgerald, Web McCue, Joe Sexton, and Jack Newman, the Society rallied about their new director, Irving Williams, '36, and after selecting as their vehicle the Broadway hit, 'AThe Milky Way set to work to live up to the standard set by such successes as Three-Cornered Moon, Jour- ,ney's End, The Family Upstairs, and The Old Soak. Months went by While the play rounded into shape, and then on Friday evening, January l7, before a capacity audience that kept De Gray Hall echoing with their laughter, the thespians vindicated themselves completely with as great a hit as St. John's has ever produced. The rest of the cast included John Robinson, '391 Arthur Lambert, '39, Archie Byrne, '38, Harry Farrell, '38: Dick Byrnes, '38g Jack Avery, '36g John Mooney, '38. As a reward for the complete iinancial and social success of '4The Milky Way, the members of the cast and stage crew held a banquet at Tony's Restau- rant, West 57th St., New York. Between the dessert and the coffee, the Society presented Mr. William A. Gillard with a suitable token in appreciation of his help and advice in putting the show over. Page 134 At a recent special meeting of the Dramatic Society, John A. Hamilton, the President, and lrving G. Williams, the Direc- tor, were the grateful and sur- prised recipients of a pen and pencil set given by the Society in honor of their four years of acting and executive service. Wth a banner year behind them and a Willing nucleus to work with, the Society can face next year's activities with assur- ance. The officers of the Society for the past season were John A, Hamilton, '36, President: Georger Dodd, '37, Vice-Presi- dentg Daniel V. McCarthy, '37, Secretary, and Vincent De Dominicis, '36, Treasurer. Ed- ward Donovan, '38, Was Chair- man of the Business Committee. Page 135 The St. Iohn's University Ladies' Auxiliary HE genius of a universty lies in its multitudinous activities and organiza- tions. To the average St. John's man, the Ladies' Auxiliary is a society with which he has little acquaintance, but those who know its work are loud in their praise and appreciation for the splendid co-operation this organization has given to St. John's interests. Conceived in the home of Mrs. William H. Good dur- ing the Million Dollar Drive during the presidency of the late-beloved Rev. John W. Moore, GM., the idea of a society of this nature found a ready accep- tance. Today the Auxiliary numbers more than nine hundred members. This is indeed a splendid tribute to Father Moore and Rev, James F. Kennedy, GM., who served with the organization for many years. Mrs. Henry J. Vaughan is now acting as president of the society, assisted by Mrs. Walter Jeffreys Carlin, Mrs. Lawrence J. Charrot, Mrs. Frank L. Grace, Mrs, George R. Holahan, Jr., Mrs. George J. Kuss, and Mrs. Raymond McLeer, as Vice-Presidents. Miss Irene Mulcay fulfills the highly important duties of Corresponding Secretary, while Miss Josephine F. Lamond, as Treasurer, pro- vides for the Hnancial success of the Auxiliary. At the general meeting, held on October 14, the society discussed plans for a Dinner Dance, a sparkling event which took place on November 27. The newly formed Junior Auxiliary also attended this affair. Mindful of the injunction to 'Remember thy departed brethren , a mem- orial Mass was held November 16 at the Church of St. John the Baptist. The new year brought the semi-annual meeting and a calendar of pro- posed events-all successfully culminated-- a luncheon and bridge, and a Com- munion Breakfast. Is it any wonder then, that we, the undergraduate student body of St. John's University, hail this society as one of Brooklyn's outstand- ing Catholic. organizations and a boon to Alma Mater. At the annual meeting held for the election of officers on May 25, a new president will be chosen as it is customary to hold this office for one year only. The student body of St. John's extends its sincerest felicitations to this new ofiicer of the Ladies' Auxiliary and rests assured that she will fulfill her duties in the same illustrious manner that they have been fuiilled in the past. Page 136 Alumni Association VER, the St. John's graduate, active in every walk of life, reflects the spirit, ambitions and ideals of his Alma Mater. Ever, is the St. John's alumnus reminded of his duty as son of Alma Mater by the active energies and influence of the Alumni Association. A Following the precedent set in former years, the Alumni Association en- tered into the formal work of the year when on October l2, the Fourth Annual Alumni Day was held. A Solemn High Memorial Mass was celebrated for the deceased members of the society in the Church of St. John the Baptist. Follow- ing the services the class of '29 acted as host at a breakfast and reception held in De Gray Hall. Election of officers took place and Daniel Shea, '17, was elected President. Thomas Costello, '27, was made Vice-President: William Manz, '30, was chosen to serve in the capacity of Secretary, and Charles Ickrath, '19, received the position of Treasurer. The Alumni Glee Club, under the direction of Mrs. Fuchs, rendered musical selections appropriate to the occasion. The 55th Annual Alumni Banquet was held in the main ballroom of the Hotel Bossert on the evening of February 5. At this, one of the largest reunions, old grads gathered to renew acquaintances. The class of '26, as hosts, extended a warm welcome to both the recent grads and the Oldtimers . The Alumni Guild of the Holy Agony, a new activity of the association, was inaugurated on Sunday, February 23, in the priests' chapel of St. John's University when the Very Reverend Edward J, Walsh offered Mass for the suc- cess of the new movement. Twenty-live members of the Alumni Association were automatically made charter members of the organization as they received Holy Communion. The purpose of this new activity is to emphasize the real spiritual inspiration of the Catholic College laity in fostering Catholic Action as expressed by His Holiness Pope Pius XI. The oflicial voice of the St. John's grad, The Alumnus, continued to func- tion as a well-informed, interesting publication. Mr. Shea, 'l7, Editorg Mr. Hogarty, '34, Associate Editor, and Mr. Costello, '27, were chiefly responsible for the success of the Alumni quarterly. ' Page 137 The Vincentian JOHN A.

DUNN, QM., A , .... Moderator Page 138 I Deutches Monatsblatt VIGOROUS part in the literary life of St. John's is played by the oflicial organ of the students in the German department. The men chiefly respon- sible for this accomplishment were James R. McGowan, '38, Editor-in-Chief, and Moderator Emil P. Kloeckner, M.A., head of the German department. The paper is distributed every month to about one hundred students. As well as being written in German, it is filled for the most part with lively discus- sions of various phases of German national life. That nation is most noted, perhaps, for its scientific advances and discoveriesg wherefore several writers have devoted themselves to explanations of such inventions as that whereby wood rather than gasoline may be used as fuel in motor vehicles. Not to neglect the cultural achievements of Germany, a number of papers have had to do with Johann Wolfgang Goethe, Frederick von Hardenberg, and other illustrious poets, considered both from the biographical and the philosophical viewpoints. To round out the paper, a humor column was included in several of the issues. Those students who, because of their interest in German and their high schol- astic standing, have served on the editorial board are: Justin lVlacCarthy, '36: Leonard Sanchez, '363 George Hoffmann, '37: John O'Conner, '38, and Andrew Morvay, '38. Page 139 Sequoya HE restrospective glance Ends Sequoya a newcomer in literary endeavour. Less than three years ago, its founder-editor, Joseph Gleason, '35, submitted one issue to the highly dubious Sir Average St. John's Student. John Darby, '35, produced two more issues the succeeding year. The efforts of these two men, bound up with the managerial acumen of Anthony Stigliano, '35, had accomplished wonders in overcoming the inertia of sluggish undergraduate lit- erary activity. Editor Number Three, John Elynn, '37, has encountered suflicient budding genius to permit of expansion into the quarterly Held. Not insignificant was the award of a silver cup to Stephen Breen, '38, for his critical article on railroads in the January issue. Meanwhile, credit is due the other members of the present staff whose labors behind the scenes have contributed so much. The tasks of the Editorial Board were disposed of by A. J. Byrne, James McGowan, John Dowd, and George Doyle, all of the Sophomore Class. William Ahearn and J, Roger Corcoran shared the duties of Business Manager and in that capacity guided John McGrath, Francis McNamara, Edward Donovan, Joseph McGrane, and Edwin Kelly. As Art Editor, James Walsh, '37, was responsible for the illus- trations that so enlivened the book, As guardian and guide served Rev. Joseph V. O'Driscoll, C.M., Moder- ator, and Camille McCole, M.A., Literary Adviser. Page 140 L'Echo de St. lean T is common knowledge that familiarity with the cultural backgrounds of a people greatly enhances the value of studying its language. It was, there- fore, with the intention of offering students an opportunity to express them- selves creatively in French, that a French paper was started five years ago. The contributions called for entirely extra-curricular research by their respective authors. Ultimate approval of these articles comes from Rev. Henry Poirer, head of the Modern Languages Department and Moderator of the paper. The Editorial Board, composed of students well advanced in their French courses, comprised: J. Roe, '36 T. Bachmafi, '37 S. DiGregorio, '38 J. Conway, '38 C, Castellano, '38 v Cv, Doyle, '38 Their immediate assistants, who were concerned with printing and bind- ing the copies, were: E. Murphy, '38 F.

FREEMAN EAR after year Buck Freeman has consistently turned out successful athletic teams at St. John's. With a record of 177 victories in 9 years, Buck has attained national recognition as a basketball leader. Perhaps his main asset is an ability to study the weaknesses of his own players and then to make the necessary corrections. At the same time, Buck is famed as a scout of opposing teams. His keen foresight and psychological mind have gained more than one victory for St. John's. Page 146 Basketball Team JAMES A.

A vast crowd filed out of the spacious De Gray Hall. A deep feeling of satisfaction was in everyone's heart-another successful season for the Red and White. But behind the scenes, in the dress- ing-room, the feeling was different. Under a guise of exultation, the Redmen were slapping each others backs, joking amongst themselves as they auto- graphed the ball for Captain Rip Kaplinsky. But all this was merely an act, for one could easily detect the sad, melancholy touch of the ath- lete's eyes. Four years is a long time-four years r i of friendship, four years of winning, sometimes CAPT. IIRIPI, KAPLINSKY losing, but still-four years. And tonight has come the parting, the farewell. Perhaps these athletes shall meet again on the hardwood, but never again under the banner of the Red and White, beneath the supervision of that great basketball character-Buck Freeman. U Over in a corner, Ernie Oeding is talking to Jerry Bush. The two big men of St. John's are parting, Dutch to new iields, Jerry to re-conquer the old. Rip Kaplinsky, captain and playmaker par-excellence, is explaining something to Jim Keane. Vinny Young and Red McGuire are talking about that great game four years back when, as Freshmen the club defeated the P.S.A.L. champion, Thomas Jefferson, in two overtime periods. Beefy Byrnes is congratulating Java Gotkin. Beefy, a regular on the club at the season's opening, was robbed from the team by a hand injury which may never again allow him to play. Java Gotkin, passer and dribbler second to none calls on his pal, Rip, to hurry. One by one the players leave. Testagrossa and Raugalas are the last. The lights are out-up the staircase trudges a figure, the last to go. It is Buck Freeman. His job is done. Perhaps he wishes it weren't. On November 29 the Indian Basketball team opened its season against Seth Low. Buck Freeman started his Hrst live, Kaplinsky, Gotkin, Oeding, Byrnes and McGuire, Jerry Bush and Vinnie Young, soon after the opening whistle were sent into the fray. Seven experts were on hand to watch the team. The final score was 42 to 25. Second in appearance came the alumni squad, a grand collection of former stars: Hill, Marcliese, V McGuinness, Murtha, Smith, Brennan, Fred Testa- ERNIE QEDING Page 148 grossa, Neary and Diclie. The final score read 52 to 18. Following these two victims, quickly followed two more, Wagner and Savage. Jerry Bush, the Sophomore flash filled Beefy Byrne's shoes to per- fection. .Iack Shanley's presence also made itself felt on the enemy's defense, Red IVIcGuire scoring often also. Both Savage and Wagner fell before the Indians by unbalanced scores, 48 to 12: and 67 to 38, respectively. Westminster provided the Redmen with their first real test. The zone defense came into Madison Square Garden with one of the best records in the East. Wes Bennett, the scoring sensation was pre- dicted to score 20 points. Jack Shanley, however, changed the scribes' minds as he held the big Bennett U U to no field goals. Bush repeated the performance JAVA GOTKIN in the closing chapter. In the meantime, Rip Kap- linsky was finding it hard to break through and set up plays. At the half, St. .Iohn's trailed the Pennsylvanians 15 to ll. The second half told a different story. The Indians broke through the touted zone defense to hang up point after point. As the Redmen tied it up and then forged ahead, the stands went wild, The final gun found the Red and White on top, 35 to 26. Boasting of a string of 9 victories, Brooklyn College came against the Vincentians. A crowded De Gray Gym saw the Indians gradually forge ahead in the last half to take the Connorsmen into camp, 27 to 18. 1 In one of the most thrilling contests of the 1 year, St. .Iohn's nosed out her ancient rivals, C. C. N. Y., 25 to 22. Nat Ho1man's boys put up a game fight. Eighteen thousand fans cheered themselves hoarse as the Indians swept home to victory. January 9 saw our Indians soundly trouncing I a strong Georgetown five, 41 to 27. Trailing at the half, 17 to 16, the Vincentians romped home to victory in the second half, scoring 25 points to Georgetown's 10. Two days later, the intial defeat of the year was suffered at the hands of Niagara, 40 to 37. The Eagles caught our boys on an off- night and made the best of their advantage. McDon- ald of Niagara ran wild scoring 17 points. ea e V Manhattan and the Crescent Club fell next FRANK MC GUIRE before the Redmien, 34 to 127, 32 to 24 respectively. Page 149 The .Iaspers put up a rough battle but could not outrough the Indians. The Crescent game was an uneventful one, the Warriors winning easily. On January 25, L. I. U. soundly trounced the Red and White, 36 to 20. The Beemen had un- canny luck on their long shots as point after point was racked up. The Indians missed easy shots, Rip Kaplinsky, our big gun, not being able to get going. The blackbirds played excellent ball and were never in danger. La Salle from Philadelphia and St. Francis were the next opponents of the St. .Iohn's quint. Needless to say, both fell before the overwhelming scoring spree of the Indians, the scores reading 40 to 26: 41 to 18. New York University met St. John's on Feb- ruary 5 at Madison Square Garden. For forty min- utes, a packed house sat on the edge of the seats of this famed scene of athletic encounters as two of the best teams of the city played a thrill packed game. The Violet, held scoreless for l3 minutes of the last half finally spurted in the remaining time to win out, 28 to 23. VINNY YOUNG George Washington provided the Red and White followers with a thrill. At the half time the scoreboard read 17 to 8 in favor of the Colonels. Then, Rip Kaplinsky leading the way, the Redmen fell on the visitors from the Capitol city and nnally nosed them out 29 to 27. The St. Peter's College quint from Jersey City met our Indians on Febru- ary 21. .Iack Shanley flashed some of his Freshman form in dropping through some 17 points. The Hnal score read 50 to 28. AI. TESTAGROSSA FRANK RAUGALAS JERRY BUSH Page 150 l Freshman Basketball OMPILING one of the finest records in the history of Freshman basketball, the young Redmen won twenty-one games, losing only three. Their greatest accomplishment was the consecutive string of 17 victories before they were defeated by Long Island U. St. Francis Prep, Curtis High and St. Augustine's High were the first vic- tims of the Yearlingsg Savage Freshmen were soundly trounced but Manhattan College afforded the first real opposition, the Indians were successful, however, by a slight margin. Seton Hall, Manual, Bryant, Richmond Hill and St. Johns, all high schools, were conquered, the City College Junior Varsity almost de- feated the Warriors but an overtime game resulted in a single point Redmen victory. The Frosh overcame L. I. U. and N. Y. U. Freshmen handily and added four more triumphs to their long string before the ill-fated contest with the L. I. U. team, Whom they had previously vanquished. Manhattan was again subdued but the contest with Villanova resulted in another defeat for St. Johns: the Army plebes administered the final Indian defeat at West Point. There was no one player who could be considered an individual star. The high scorer except in a few occasions, never had a large majority. The most consistent point-makers were Jim Gorman, George Palmer, Bill Lloyd and Lou Amoroso, while sterling work was contributed by Joe Krajcovic, Phil Tumminello, Babe DeLuca, Bill Conlon and Jack Gerhardt. Page 151 unior Varsity Basketball TEPPING Stones to the Varsity -the 1935-36 Jay Vee prepared for next-season's varsity competition by winning 15 of 18 tilts. The squad was composed of practically the entire record breaking '34-35 Frosh team. Led by high scoring Jim Keane the Junior Varsity won five games in a row after bowing to the Madison Avenue Presbyterian five by a 36-33 score in the season opener. In taking the New York Stock Exchange, Kips Bay, Cathe- dral and Flatbush Boy's teams into camp the Redmen tallied 182 points. Nassau Collegiate Center and the Avenue A Boys Club accounted for the other defeats on the Indian record. Smarting from these setbacks the Warriors ran roughshod over St. Francis, 23 to 12, Central Y, M. C. A., 41 to 37, and Long Island U's Blackbirds, 38 to 31. V The climax of the successful season was the 49 to 44 victory New York University ,on the Violet's court. The losers were unable to cope with Kohut who split the cords for 14 markers. Keane entered the game in the second half and amassed 12 points before the iinal whistle. Statistics give the clue to the team's success. The hoopsters averaged 36 points per game. Keane led the individual scorers with 162 points. White with 106, Kohut's 101, and Po1zer's 99 helped to swell the grand total. McNamara, Fragola, O'Regan, Stevenson and Kehoe complete the roster. Due to the fact that seven Seniors are lost to the varsity basketball squad through graduation, replacements for next year's varsity must be sought in the J. V. ranks. Page 152 Fencing, 1935-36 OR six years St, John's foilsmen proved themselves worthy in intercollegiate circles, and for three years never felt the sting of defeat, Opening the season in February with the services of but a single veteran, the Indian team fell before the onslaught of such crack teams as Army, Princeton, Columbia, Yale and M. I. T. Comprised of nearly all inexperienced Sophomores, the team went onto the mat competing against great odds. One of g the greatest factors prevailing against the duellists was the loss of Captain Charles O'Neill, who had stood in line with the best in the east for the past three years. Graduation took its toll of four other men. With the loss of O'Neill shortly before the begining of What was to have been his last season, Vin Mclnerny was elected as acting captain. Under the direction of Coach Fiems, former Olympic coach, the team consisted of Dan Alagna, Ed Nied- zielski and Bob Grogan, Sophomore foilsmen. Two more Sophs, John O'Connor and Frank Kreamer, showed perhaps the best record of the three Weapons with several victories in epee. Completing the squad were Mclnerny, a Juniorg Anthony Nicolosi, a Se- nior, and Charles Kluber and Bill Ahern, Sophs, who scored in saber bouts. The team was managed l by George Dodd.

Track, 193536 HE Indian Track Team. with the largest squad in the history of the sport reporting for the outdoor campaign of '35, reached a high-water mark in Vincentian Track Annals. After a thorough conditioning program, the Indian couriers journeyed to Philadelphia to flash their spikes in the Annual Pennsylvania Relay Carnival. The formidable quartet of Zeitler, Smith, Egal and Shanahan hooked up in a blazing duel with the University of Maryland and the College of the City of New York over the mile route. The Red shirted trackmen gained runner-up honors in the Junior Metropolitan Inter-collegiate Championships at Ohio Field. Two major cham- pionships fell at the flying feet of the Brooklyn Braves when Al Smith and George de George romped away with the half and the two-mile con- tests respectively. New records were hung up in both tests. Two weeks later, Brooklyn College and Long Island University were smothered under an ava- lanche of points piled up by Jim Rosenberger's pro- teges in a Triangular Meet held at McCarren Park. For the first time in many years, the Indians amassed their point total from the field as well as from the MARTY FOERY track events. Sal Gulli started the fireworks when he captured the broad jump. Jerry Hyde soared over the Pole Vault at eleven feet to win that event. Rauga- i A Page 155 laus and 'Keane scoredrinthe shot-put and the javelin contests. A clean sweep was made in the two-mile when deGeorge, Egal and Toner crossed the finish line in that order. Smith took second in the mile and third in the half. Costello and Zeitler ran 'one-two' in the quarter. The return to school after the summer vacation found Tom Costello and Joe Shanahan honored with the co-captaincy for the coming year. y A mark for future Indian relays to shoot at was Written into the books when the Medley combination of Shanahan, Foery, Costelloand Zeitler broke the American record for 1000 meters in one of the heats at the National Cham- pionships held in Madison Square Garden. To climax the most successful indoor irecord in Vincentian history, the Redskins ran the greatest time race of their icareers only to be licked in a stretch duel by the phenomenal Eddie O'Brien, of 'QSyracuse, in the sparkling time of 3 :Z4. of the Seniors, Marty Foery, who captained the team in his Junior year, stood out above the others. MARTY GEORGE HENRY TOM JOE POERY ZEITLER EGAL COSTELLO SHANAHAN Page 156 Rifle HE 1936 St. John's University Rifle Team encountered many of the out- standing colleges in the east. Postal meets were scheduled with Bowdoin, Johns Hopkins, Georgetown, Iowa, Cornell, Penn State and Carnegie Tech. St. John's also entered the Metropolitan Intercollegiate Rifle League, sponsored by the National Rifle Association. Coach Joe Cascone built his squad around the veteran team of last year. Captain Edmund O'Connor, Mgr. Frank McNamara, Roger Corcoran, Paul Hamilton, Frank O'Connor, and John Haynes responded to the call for candi- dates. Several promising newcomers appeared in the persons of Pat McDonald, Frank Bosso, Ed Murphy, and Joe Flaherty. In the opening matches St. John's lost to Bowdoin and Johns Hopkins. Following a 1222 to 1186 victory over Georgetown, St. John's was defeated by the R. O. T. C. squads of Iowa and Cornell, then was nosed out by Penn State and Kansas State. In the Metropolitan League matches, St. John's beat Cooper Union 1311 to 1186. Shoulder to shoulder matches with City College and Poly Evening found St. John's on the low end of the score. The seventh annual St. John's Univer- sity Invitation Rifle Tournament was successfully conducted with seven teams participating. This shoot was won for the second successive year by Brooklyn Poly. The regular season was satisfactorily concluded with a 1289 to 1248 Win over Stevens Tech. As a post-season event St. John's sent a team to compete in the National Intercollegiate Team Championship Meet at New London, Conn., in which Captain Ed O'Connor compiled a score high enough to place in the upper section of a large field. Page 157 Baseball THE day after the bleachers had been folded up on the wall signifying the close of the basketball season, Johnny Dixson broke the first window in the Gymnasium, thus officially inaugurating the first day of indoor practice. Following the policy of We'll play anybody who has nine men and thinks they can beat us, the Athletic Office arranged a schedule which read like the Who's Who of collegiate baseball. Twenty-five games were booked for the season and not one of them can be looked upon as a set-up. The Redmen opened against Wagner on April 4 and averaged three games a week until June' 6 when they hung up their gloves after the annual tussle with Savage. A distinctive note of the schedule is the playingnof two games with eight colleges on a home and home basis. These teams are Long Island University, Providence, Villanova, Brooklyn College, New York University, Northeastern University, City College of New York, and Boston College. Of the twenty-five contests, only eleven were to be played at our home field, Dexter Park, and a twelfth, the Savage game, was played at Carey Field. Not satisfied with pitting its strength against the best that the Metropoli- tan area had to offer, the Red and White invited Duke University, acknowledged Page 158 baseball leader of the south, to Dexter Park, New A England sent Providence College, Boston College, and Northeastern University to Brooklyn to try our baseball mettle, and the Philadelphia sector was rep- resented by Villanova, both at Dexter Park and , again in the Quakertown. This St. John's team did more traveling than any other in recent years. The Indians saw Phila- delphia and the Villanova baseball team on April 18, and spent the first three days of May on the road. Boston College played host on May l and Northeastern was met in the same city on the fol- lowing day. May 3 saw our ball players in Provi- dence meeting the representatives of the college bear- ing the name of that city. The Redmen saw quite a bit of New York too, for they played Fordham at Murphy Field, N. Y. U. at Ohio Field, Manhattan on the Jasper Oval, C. C. N. Y. at Lewisohn Stadium, Wagner on Staten Island, and the New York Athletic Club, the only club team on the schedule, at Travers Island. CAPT. FRANK MCGUIRE New Jersey had two opportunities to watch the Red and White, once in East Orange against Upsala College, and in South Orange at the Seton Hall field. A third New Jersey team, Panzer College played our boys at Dexter Park. Having arranged this unusually heavy schedule: the next move was to find ball players who could worthily represent Alma Mater, and when the call for candidates was posted some ninety men reported for practice. However, since carrying all these men was an impossibility, Coach Buck Freeman cut his squad to sixteen good men and true. Of these sixteen, ten were veterans of last year's campaign. The pitching staff was composed of six right handers, four of whom seniors. Captain McGuire headed this list. Frank along with Johnny Dixson, Joe Coppo, Phil Carey and Vin Leary were real old timers having seen service through four hard cam- paigns. M Captain Mac has shown himself a true leader, with his enthusiastic, but sensible, ball playing. Frank depends more on control and his curveball than he does on his fast one and his pegging to the bases has caught more than one opponent off the sack. Johnny Dixson, the Hollis Delivery Boy, is PHIL CAREY the fast ball artist of the squad. Johnny is an all Page 159 around ball player, for when he isn't in there throw- ing his fast ball, he can play a lot of right field. Joe Coppo, another four-year man, rounds of the big three. His main asset is a smart change of pace with a Hne curve ball. Frank Walsh, '36, a newcomer to the squad, is the fourth senior hurler. Frank can be used as a relief pitcher and with Irv Prince and Jimmy Keane, both of whom were fresh from the Freshman team of last year, completes the hurling staff. Behind the plate, Paddy Joyce is a one-man catching department. Handicapped by the loss of Billy Byrnes, chief catcher of last year, due to an infected hand, the Redmen must depend on Paddy and Mel Fieramosca to do the receiving Mel is a c newcomer to the ranks of the nine and proved him- JOHNNY DIXSON self to be a needed relief man to the much over- worked Paddy Joyce. When it came to the infield, Buck Freeman had such a choice that it was difficult to find a permanent combination. Silvio Zenir, Sophomore lirst sacker, plays phenomenal ball at that position and is counted as one of the team's'best hitters. Karl Polzer, another Soph, is capable of a lot of second basing, but Joe Salerno, a veteran of the '35 season may fill in an equal number of games. At shortstop, Phil Carey played the same high quality ball that he did for the past three years. Polzer and Zenir, second and first sackers respectively, and Al Testagrossa with Tom Darrigan as alternate at the hot corner, rounded out a first class infield. The outfield berths were capably handled by the three veter- ans of last year in Vinny Leary, Tom Tallon, and Jim Hagen. ,N , , TOM DARRIGAN FRANK WALSH VINNY LEARY Page 160 lntramural Football FTER three futile years, the Seniors Hnally came into their own. The class of '36 copped the Intramural football title by eliminating the Juniors and then beating the Frosh by a 7-O score in a thrilling battle. The Frosh had eliminated the Sophs earlier by a 12-6 count. The Seniors bested the Juniors by a succession of line bucks and forward passes, expertly mixed by Captain Frank Selinger, who did the quarterbacking. The score was l9 to O. Mel Fieramosca, Senior halfback, tallied two touchdowns while Selinger accounted for one. The final game between the Frosh and Seniors was a classic. A huge crowd turned out to watch the elevens battle for the championship. During the first half the play was marked by the great defensive work of the Senior line. The second half finally saw the vaunted Senior attack function. The only touch- down of the game came when Frank Selinger went over the line on a pass from Fieramosca. There was still one thrill left however. With but three minutes to go Matty Shannon, of the Frosh backfield, faded back and hurled a long forward pass which Jack Manning snared. But one of the Frosh interferers, in his enthusiasm to block out all would-be tacklers, bowled into his own man to stop the play. Throughout the season, the Senior line played strongly and consistently to form the bulwark of the Senior attack. Linemen Lavin, Smith, Bondy, Looney, Trimble, McCune, O'Connor, Carpinello, Donovan, Harley, and Hagen performed well. Page 161 Intramural Basketball HE '35-36 Intramural basketball season found the Juniors, winners of the previous year's tournament, carrying off titular honors. This polished quin- tet, led by John Skarulis, the high scoring forward, and the vastly improved Dick Farrell, found the road to the school title a little more difficult to travel than it was last year. The race was clouded with doubt right up to the final wire as the powerful offensive unit representing the Sophomore class pressed the victors all the way. A two-point margin in the last game of the tourney between the Juniors and Sophs proved to be the meagre difference between first and second place. Again the erratic and, at times, brilliant Senior aggregation cropped up as the main trouble-maker for the leaders as they consistently knocked one or the other off when a win might have meant the sewing up of the championship. The Yearling quintet, a helpless assemblage of would-be courtsters in the early stage of the schedule, finally found themselves as they went on an extended but belated winning streak. Andy Bongiorno, the big gun of the Senior attack, was a ball player's ball player. Andy, the possessor of a good shot and an outstanding court finesse, was an invaluable asset on both offense and defense. Jack Hamilton was the long shot artist of the team. Frank Selinger, Tommy Murphy, Bill Smith, Anton Bondy, Joe Trimble and Eddie O'Connor were the cagers that Coach Vinny Young pressed into service as the situation on the court necessitated. Page 162 Site of the New St. Iohn's THE aeroplane photographer presents to us a splendid view of the magnificent site for the St. John's University of the future. This newly acquired prop- erty, the old Hillcrest Golf Club, a rolling and wooded tract, extending for one hundred acres, in the Jamaica Estates section of Jamaica, on the Grand Central Parkway, four blocks from the 168th Street station of the Independent Subway System, is the culmination of the dreams and the hopes that have sprung for years in the hearts of all lovers of old St. John's. Convocation T ATURDAY afternoon, April 25, marked the first convocation of a uni- versity faculty in the history of Brooklyn when all of the religious and lay professors of St. John's University assembled in De Gray Auditorium in honor of Most Reverend Amleto Giovanni Cicognani, Apostolic Delegate to the United States. The purpose of the convocation was the presentation of the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws to the Most Reverend Papal Delegate by Bishop Thomas E, Molloy, S.T.D., Chancellor of the University. The program of exercises included addresses by several men distinguished in the field of education. Very Rev. Edward J. Walsh, C.M., LL.D., Litt.D., President, was the first speaker of the occasion. The next address was that of Very Rev. Michael J. O'Connell, C.M., Ph.D., President of the DePaul Uni- versity in Chicago, and the concluding formal discourse was made by Frank P. Graves, LL.D., Commissioner of Education for the State of New York. On the opposite page are candid camera pictures of different parts of the academic procession. In the picture at the upper left are shown the Very Rev. Edward J. Walsh, C.M., the Most Rev. Amleto Giovanni Cicognani, and Mon- signor Enedio Vagnagio, Auditor of the Papal Delegation. At the upper right are Bishop Thomas E. Malloy, Chancellor of St. John's, and other members of the hierarchy who were the guests of honor at the affair.
