The moral darkness of our day may not be clothed in the crude trappings of the Baptist era, but it causes the same spiritual paraly- sis. Thousands of our contemporaries have been the unconscious victims of a educational system which may be likened to a museum plunged into total darkness. The priceless treasures. contained theirin are useless because there is no light whereby they might Y l St. John the Evangelist ot St. John the Baptist nine- V7 l..J . be seen and studied. Here at St. John's our hearts go out in gratitude to our parents, our teachers, our associates, and to all who have been in any way responsible for our happy lot,-for we have been the fortunate beneficiaries of an educational system in which the treasures ot antiquity, the history of human affairs and the progress of modern though and science have been interpreted in the Light ot the Divine. 5 C 1 4 1 ia HIS HOLINESS, PIUS XII Bishop of Rome and Vicar of Jesus Christ, Successor of St. Peter, Prince of the Apostles Supreme Pontift of the Universal Church.

Cornelius Ryan, C.M., Eliot Berg, Matthew Vaccaro, Peter Brancato EQHSTQJE133? UL? 'Lt' Ei CLASS E' IICQQQP The Class of i949 entered Saint John's one month after V-J Day, This first postwar class, composed predominantly of veterans, doubled the enrollment at the college, only to be further increased to the four hundred mark by the February freshmen. Saint John's, still in the first stages of reorganization after the war years, found our class ready and willing to contribute to the revival of activities and school spirit. The traditional hazing period conducted by the Sophomores terminated on Thanksgiving Eve with the colorful Soph-Frosh l'-lop, at which the hatchet was buried by the soph president, Bill Fitzpatrick, and Ernie Theroux, who headed the freshman class. September, l946, saw the Class of '49, now sophomores, under the the moderatorship of the Rev. Cor- nelius Ryan, C.M. Father Ryan remained our class adviser for the following three years. Don Clancy was elected to the office of class president. The success of the Soph-Frosh l'-lop that year was due to the untiring efforts of both classes, under chairman John Mee. At the first assembly of our junior year, the Very Rev. John A, Flynn, C.M., new president of the university, was introduced to a record student body. Father Flynn succeeded to the post after the untimely death of the Rev. William J. Mahoney, C.M., a few months previously. Peter Brancato was installed as president of the junior class. Work was begun almost immediately on the Junior Prom, with Bill Fitzpatrick, just back from service in the Army, as General Chairman. Despite in- clement weather, the Prom, held at the Essex House in February of l948, was a manifest social success. The following May, eight members of the class were tapped for membership in Skull and Circle, the senior honor society. ln the senior elections held the same month, Matt Vaccaro was elected to lead the class during its last year at the Wigwam. Bill Fitzpatrick was the student body's choice for Student Council president in the general elections held at the beginning of our last academic year. One month later, twelve members of the class were selected for the national collegiate Who's Who , because of outstanding scholarship and interest in school activities. The Senior Dinner-Dance held in January, l9-49, was a fitting culmination to four years of activity at the college. This was the final affair to be sponsored by the Class of i949 before they received their diplo- mas at the Second Corps Artillery Armory on the twelfth of June. ' JOHN J. AEPPLI, B.S. American Chemical Society 3, 4, Pre-Med Society 4, Glee Club 4. An attypical Biology major, John evinced an equal interest in all his other studies, paramount among these being his avid delving into the realm of scholastic philosophy. His professors will always remember him for his pertinent questions, and his friends for carrying on this question after class time. DONALD G. ALDRIGE, B.A. Intramurals l, 2, 35 French Club 3. Rather a quiet and unassuming fellow while at St. John's, Don made sure he didn't put any- one out and managed to escape entanglements. He leaves many friends who will miss him sin- cerely. FRANK AQUILA, B.S. Roger Bacon 3, 45 Catholic War Veterans '2, 3, 4, American Chemical Society 3, 4, Pre-Med Society 4. Those of us who know Frank well realize that we have in our company a steady and depend- able friend. Having had many fine experiences with the U. S. Army intelligence Service in ltaly, Frank came home to settle down to the task of preparing himself to study medical science and in this, we might add, he has done rather well. HENRY W. ARACHTINGI, B.S. Glee Club l, 2, 3, Roger Bacon 2, 3, 4, Stamp Club 2, 3, 45 American Chemical Society 4g Hazing Com- mittee 2, French Club 4. Here on a scholarship, Hank has finished his academic work in three years and now looks forward to a career in science. While at St. John's, however, he didn't lose himself in his chem books, but could be found discussing anything from bonds to blondes. His biggest thrill here was topping the Dean's list in Fresh- man year. JOSEPH J. ARENA, B.S. Roger Bacon 2, 3, 4, French Club 3, American Chemi- cal Society 4. Joe is another ot the small class of boys who mash molecules . A Chemistry major, Joe ex- pects to follow his brother's foosteps into the Industrial Chemistry field. His quiet, industrious attitude and unassuming personality have helped him immeasurably in amassing a solid, substan- tial four years at St. John's. Orchestra l, French Club 3, Soph Frosh Dance Com mittee lg intramural Basketball l, 2. A happy combination of scholarly ability and social amenability has distinguished Mike as a fine Catholic College graduate. lt cannot be doubted that he will be a credit to whatever field he endeavors. JAMES P. ATTRIDGE, A.B. 'Intramural Basketball I. Another English major, Jim is expected to exhibit his wares as a teacher. The elder brother of the St. John's Attridge family, he possesses a keen mind and the necessary perseverance to insure success. One of his many accomplish- ments has been the gaining of a host of friends while at the Wigwam. JEREMIAH J. ATTRIDGE, B.A. Sigma Tau Alpha I, 2, 3, 4, Intramural Basketball I, 2, 3, 4, Intramural Softball I, 2, 3. Jerry is one fellow the Indian is proud to number among its sons. He exemplifies all that a St. John's man should be, both a good friend and a Christian gentleman. With his unmatched personality and fine singing voice he is a credit to his royal Celtic forefathers. Soph Frosh Hop Dance Committee 2 French Club 35 Glee Club, Secretary 3, Treasurer 4, Intramural Basketball 3, 4. X is one of the vast horde of St. John's Prep alumni roaming our sacred halls. Easily one of the best dressers in the school, he pre- sents a dashing Latin appearance which abso- lutely floors the lyou'll pardon the expressioni opposite sex. JOHN E. BANFIELD, B.A. Minute Men l, 2g Crusade Society 1, 25 Bronx- Manhattan Club 2, French Club 2, Intramural Basket- ball l, 2, Softball 1, 2, Football 2. Jack was a student at St. John's before the war. After a stay in the service he came back for his degree. One ot the main fixtures at all St. John's basketball games, Jack is a hard- working student, as well as an authority on lrish singers and dancers. DOMINICK R BARBARO, B.A. Philosophical Society 2, 3, 4, President 2. Take a daily diet of Arthur Murray, add a dash of philosophy, serve with a well worn dance floor and you have Dom. l-le loves to trip the light fantastic and it is his contention that dancing brings out your hidden personality traits. This self-styled terpsichorean-philosopher intends to enter the public relations field. May he glide through this with as much ease and skill as he does over the dance tloor. RICHARD J. BARNETT, B.A Intramural Basketball 3, 4, Softball 3, 4. Dick's boyish smile and sartorial elegance make him a standout personality about the school. His complacent, natural attitude en- deared him to many. As he goes through law school we know his amiable qualities will soon be acknowledged and will aid him towards his goal. Zl FRANCIS A. BASTA, B.A. Altar Society 3, President 4, Torch, Assistant Business Manager 45 Le Cercle Francais 3, Catholic War Veter- ans l, 2, 3, 4, Retreat Band 4, Chaplain 4, Vincentian Staff 4, Crusades 41 Student Relief Committee 4. Frank's middle name should be Sinceri'ry for the good service it did him and his col- league's in the activities in which he partici- pated.

The leaving behind him of an outstanding scholastic and an admirable extracurricular rec- ord was not the greatest contribution made by Tom to the college.

A A SS 9569 Not content to rest on the laurels garnered in its first two years at St. John's, the Class ot l95O has continued to set a fast scholastic and extra-curricula pace. Although limited in the scope ot his activities since he is preparing a thesis, the Rev. John V. Burns, C.M., again acted as moderator. Phil Curley, 'Editor-in-Chief of the Torch, succeeded Bob Adams as president. Marked as the group that put the College back again on pre-war standing in l946, the '50 men have attempted to complete a renaissance since their frosh year. Quickly taking part in school activities in the yearling period, the Juniors have now risen to many executive posts around 75 Lewis Avenue. Bill Goddard, Jack McKay, and Dave Haughey were elected vice presidents of Zeta, Tau and Pi Alpha, respectively. Besides these Owen Fitzgerald, Matt Sheridan and Bill Schuler hold editorial posts on The Torch. Art Schmitt succeeded another member ot the class of '50 as Commander ot the St. John's Catholic War Veteran's Post. The Poster Guild was or- ganized by Charlie Marino who served also as Art Editor of the Vlncentian and cover-designer tor Sequoya. The rundown ot Juniors who have stepped into leadership roles continues through the German Club, the Chapel Players, N. F. C. C. S., the De- bate Council and innumerable other activities. The class was well represented in the l.M. basketball program. Eight Junior l.M. cagers were named to play with the all star team in November. Three classmates-Dan Buckley, Jack Dalton and Joe Berraras competed with Coach Frank McGuire's Varsity. While their fellow Juniors were putting their best feet forward, another group of the third year men were silently and effectively making energetic plans for the social highlight of the year-the Junior Prom. Ted Shiebler assembled a host of fellow classmen to handle the seemingly endless list ot pre-prom details. He was well rewarded on the night of Feb. l8. Vincent Lopez's band put the tinal touch on the strictly high class attair. lt is possible that their contributions to the College merit the Juniors their sheepskins now, but only to meet the re- quirements of the state they'll be around at diploma time next year-continuing to give their best to St. J0hn's, it past per- formances mean anything.

The men whose pictures are on this page were the choice for the year I949. Who's Who first came into print in the school year 1934-35. Its purpose was to create one national basis of recognition for college students that would be both demo- cratic and devoid of dues. The number of participating colleges and universities now numbers approximately six hundred. Conrad L. Kellenberg Francis J. Peropat Nominating committees are requested to consider the student's scholarship, his leadership and cooperation in educational and extracurricular activities, his general citizenship and his promise cf future usefulness. Each institution participating is assigned a separate quota- large enough to give a well rounded representation of the student body and small enough to confine nominations to an exceptional group of students. 91 cate of recognition awarded by the organization and pre- sented at the school, and also recognition in the annual publication tor the year during which he was selected in the form of a writeup of his college and personal record.

T N F C C S means National Federation of Catholic College Students. lt is composed of students enrolled in most of the Catholic colleges in the United States. Its aim is to make campus activity Catholic activity. To facilitate the operation of this national organization member colleges group themselves according to locality and form administra- tive regions. These regions carry out their programs with the aid, ad- vice and directives supplied by the National Office and the episcopal moderator. The students of St. John's College have been members of the New York-New Jersey region for tive years. Two delegates are elected by the Student Council each year to represent the school. As representa- tives of the school the delegates help legislate programs, interpret student opinion, introduce plans of activity to school organizations and promote regional projects separately if coordination with ordinary college activity is impossible. The Federation acts in many fields of interest. ln this region schools are commissioned to sponsor study in Catholic Action, Labor-Manage- ment Relations, International Relations, Inter-American Relations, Interracial Justice, Liturgy, Family Life, Student Government, Mariology, Forensics, Press, Radio, Christian Doctrine, and Educa- tion. St. John's this year participated in all but three of the aforementioned commission works. This good record was attained by the hard work of many organization heads. In addition to commissions however the regional council had projects that could not be handled by any particular group or club. Such was the Student Relief Drive for which the St. John's committee raised in two years over S7,000.00, the D. P. Program instituted to secure scholarships in American Catholic colleges for D. P. students, and the annual Regional Congress where every school in the New York-New Jersey region, twenty- one in all, are invited in force to air their problems and discuss regional policy. Every student belongs to the N FCCS. Next year why not take some interest in your organization? Your delegates will welcome your opinions. They need your cooperation.

Q Q Q Q Q National Federation ol Catholic College Students RUS HBE GDS LilE.ll.l'Nl? During i948 the St. John's Crusade Society resumed membership in the Catholic Students' Mission Crusade after a lapse of seven years. With Rev. Cornelius Ryan, C.M. again as its moderator, the mission group partici- pated in the activities of the C. S. M. C. besides main- taining its own particular functions at the college. This year the Catholic Students Mission Crusade, aside from practicing its threefold program of prayer, study and sacrifice, set up as its most immediate aims the promo- tion of vocations in the service of the Church, particularly for the missions and the Christianization of America. These objectives were considered in terms of monthly outlines for meeting discussions. After officially beginning its calendar with a highly successful Mission Dance in October, the Crusade Society, while observing the C. S. M.C. objectives, also did its share in providing the college students with further op- portunities for religious activity. Thus were offered a varied supply of pamphlets, a Catholic book exhibit, fa- cilities for daily Mass and Communion, and the conven- ience of confession every day. The Crusade Society plans further movements in its attempt to foster mission work here and abroad. :ml lllllilllll iNlEtJCfISRuSIl2EKE Eqqm Dv, wi i X! : i . win Ni' 'RH' -Hit '7 A :' -X... l-Emil ,i 'lt'-l ll:ts.,.'

Under the guidance and direction of Father William Agnew, C.M., moderator, and Frank Basta, president, the society has afforded to the men of the college opportunities to learn how to serve at the holy sacrifice of the Mass and other services, that they may participate in a special and more complete way in the worship of God. Since it was founded in 1947 by the late Father T. Louis Dodd, C.M., the Altar Society has been active in performing its four-fold pur- pose. ln the realm of regular college religious functions it has provided servers for the 8:15 Mass which is offered daily in the church for the benefit of the students, secondly it has provided men to serve at the Miraculous Medal Novena devotion held each Monday in the church, and thirdly, it has appointed members to serve Benediction at each of the bi-weekly Sodality meetings. Finally it cooperated with all school societies which from time to time have required servers at various church functions. A special thanks for the Altar Society's suc- cessful year is extended to its former moderator, Father Joseph O'Connor, C.M., and to the spir- itual director of the college, Father Cornelius Ryan C M Q.. 5 A x V 'l, lf? el, , 43 , ll -,ag I .. f ,- Weefif Left to Right Joseph Catalano James Heaney, LeRoy Gartner and John Eden lead Father Ryan out of the sacristy for benediction services. 95 i. i .. 1 i Yivf. 3 ,,jg:.,, ,A ., .

SCDUZQALUTY . is .,, i gs' be X ' l f ' ' rl is Very Rev. John A. Flynn, Pres. of the University, opens the school year by addressing the student body at a solemn high mass on Sept. 15. The speech was aired over station WWRL. To study religion is to become conscious of the will of God, to practice it is to become a possessor of His paradise. In St. .lohn's the doctrine is amply supplied through a comprehensive course of apologetics, moral guidance, philosophy and ethics, while the prac- tice is augmented through the bi-weekly assembly. Father O'Connor's sermons formed the most impressing part of the devotions. Blessed with the mastery of the English language, and possessing a vivid imagination, this priest has, through sermons and counseling, transferred some of his personal sanctity to the men of the college. In return he has won their admiration and esteem. A fuller reward, however, will surely be meted to him by the Creator that he has served so long and so well. ln Lent a very wise and timely innovation was inserted into the Sodality schedule. By limiting the customary time for the sermon, sufficient time remained for a mass to be said. This enabled the entire student body to attend the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass without any inconvenience. The position and the need of religious devotions in the pan- orama of life goes without explanation. How much moreso are they necessary in the struggle of a good education! To amplify or explain such a need would be in vain-for, as the saying goes, To those who believe no explanation is necessary, to those who do not, no explanation will suffice. SSEM 's Wednesday 11:30. Down to assembly. William J Fitzpatrick Pres f the Student Council emcees at the bi weekly assemblies Rev. James Courneen, M.M., addressed the assembly of December lst and pointed out the need of missionary work both home and abroad. The jam-packed assembly program for this year was highlighted by many speakers other than those who pictures appear on this page. Miss Carol Jackson, a convert to Catholi- cism, a co-editor ot the magazine Integrity On April 13th the assembly was entertained by an amateur hour. Michael Catalanello, pictured above won and the guest speaker of October 6, dis- cussed the synthesis ot religion and lite-an objective ot the magazine. , The Executive Director ot the Occupa- tional Research Foundation, Mr. Leo V. Klanberg, accepted an invitation to appear on March 2. Reviewing the business per- sonnel situation today, he gave hints to the graduating seniors that would help them in procuring the positions for which they are most suited. Most distinguished of our guests was the Rt. Rev. Monsignor Bela Varga, former Speaker ot the Hungarian National Assem- bly.

Cards . . . pleasel ln every aspect of living there occasionally comes a need for taking stock of the situation at hand. Dad at the office regularly conducts an inventory of the business. Mom in her do- mestic chores undertakes a thorough house cleaning every spring and fall. ln our social sphere we stop every New Year's Eve to review the past and resolve for the future. Any enter- prise whatever requires a periodic observation of its rise or fall on the ladder of progress. A similar situation exists in spiritual matters. A natural lethargy permits the cobwebs of lax- ity to gather. Slight omissions here and there quickly fill the debit column of the ledger of personal behavior. But, as we have a system of judging our material advance or failure, so too, we have a meter of spiritual attainment. The spiritual measuring tape is called a retreat. A retreat is a threefold combination of in- ventory taking, house cleaning and resolution making. The first step is an examination of conscience-an inventory of the soul. Follow- ing this comes the house cleaning wherein old habits are abandoned and the way is prepared for beneficial innovations. With the closing sessions a period of recollection' gives rise to the resolutions that will insure the retreatant's ad- herence to the straight and narrow. These hours spent in examining the balance scale of the soul are very important. They fig- ure uniquely into the panoramic view of man's existence. They are the guide posts to his destiny. The St. John's College Retreat Band is an apostolate of students guided by an appointed Board of Directors of twelve. lts purpose is to practice and promulgate Catholic living through the media of the closed retreat and lectures and literature. This organization was voluntarily established last year through the initia- tive of several enterprising students of the college. A Faculty Co-ordinator was appointed and since then the influence of the Band has been felt through- out the college. At its first annual retreat 84.4 percent of the band were at- tending a closed retreat for the first time. Guest speakers, sponsored by the band, were heard during the past year and literature concerning the retreat movement was made available to the student body. All students matriculating in the college are considered members of the band, but, unfortunately, only a limited number may attend the closed retreat due to the lack of facilities at the retreat house. Therefore, a registration is held for those seriously considering the Annual Closed Retreat at the Bishop Molloy Retreat House in Jamaica Estates. At the second annual retreat, this past Easter Week, the response was overwhelming and an invitation to return the following year was again enthusiastically extended, such was the impres- sion St. John's retreatants left behind them. The Rretreat Band is planning to hold a series of lectures in the Fall of this coming year. lt is their hope that some day in the near future it shall be possible to see all alumni of the college at the retreat house-catalogued as The St. John's College Alumni Retreat Band . Father John A. Flynn, C.M., President of the University, and Father Cyril F. Meyer, C.M., Dean of the College, expressed the desire to see such a spir- itual activity flourish and grow in the future. With the cooperation they have given and the bountiful history of the band there is no doubt as to the success of this most worthwhile organization. ,,E:f-g.- in X D D A.

The concern of the Poster Guild is serving all organizations and functions at 75 Lewis Avenue, that is to provide, as much as pos- sible, the necessary advertising and publicity on eye-catching posters to keep the student body constantly aware of the events taking place-be they dances, lectures, meetings, religious exer- cises or some other event. The members may also be said to profit by their labors in that they are able to familiarize themselves with various techniques and mediums, otherwise foreign to them, under Father Lonergan's instruction. This can be said to have brought about a better qual- ity of work displayed on the walls here at St. John's and tended to make more congruous the style and taste of the designs. To those who take pleasure in daubing paint, the Poster Guild offers an opportunity to have their work seen, criticized and ap- preciated. Here the Sunday Artist can emote five more days a week. EIR A LTJLIJLLJ A The pronounced need for a poster designing group introduced a new organization into the sphere of St. John's activities. The Poster Guild took form under the moderatorship of the Rev. Lawrence A. Lonergan, C.M., whose willingness, artistic talent and practical suggestions served the group inspiringly. Twenty-one enthusiastic pen and brush wielders signed for membership.

EDWAR D J 1 KE 1 c'M This past year saw many innovations in the field of journalistic endeavor in St. John's College. The weekly outlet for most of the aspiring men of the fourth estate was the college publication THE TORCH. Rev. Edward J. Burke, C.M., serving as moderator to the editorial staff initiated a new policy in news coverage for THE TORCH, early in the year. The policy called for news stories, both sports and straight news, to deal only with future events with past events to be used only as background material. Another change was in the size of the paper. ln other years six or eight pages were employed. This past year's TORCH consisted of four page issues. For the first time since pre-war days, the editorial staff was chosen from the junior class with no seniors being able to act in editorial capacities. The reigns of newspaper bandwagon fell into the capable hands of talented Marine Corps veteran Phil Curley who as Editor-in-Chief spread the brunt of the actual editing to his staff of assistants. Front page news coverage was the plaything of industrious Matthew Sheridan b 'd with who worked long and hard to evaluate the leading stories. Side y SI e ' A ' t Editor Bob Adams who acted as Curley's aide-de-camp and Sheridan was ssocia e general liaison man between the paper and the offices of the administration of the University. Getting the stories is one thing but setting them up in the right type and with the proper headlines so as to present an attractive layout is quite another, Another war vet Bill Schuler stepped into the gap for the third straight year as Make-up Editor and did a creditable job. Turning over to page two we are big Bill Goddard who in his post as Feature Editor was aided no little by Tom Greene and Ed Forshay, Bill lnce, Jim Maher, Joe Kelleher and others. The Over The Coffee Cups column was the work of the entire staff with Ray d' address! Kavanagh leading the tattle tales. Kavanagh left no forwar ing confronted with the slants of the humorous ' Editorials were handled by Dick Hawkey '49, Nick Silletti 'Sl and Phil Curley '50, Over to page three and we find the most widely-read section,--sports. Head man Dave Haughey handled the column At A Glance with Owen Fitzgerald, As- sistant Sports Ed. writing lead stories and helping Haughey with the make-up.

On the back page could be found many various advertisements which were huckstered by Business Manager Mike McGee and that quietly efficient chap Frank Basta. And before we forget it we must mention lanky John Laino who saw to that the college weekly reached the campuses of the other colleges and universities ofthe nation in his role as Circulation Manager.

Cha' This, the fifteenth year of publication of the St. John's College literary quarterly SEQUOYA, was distinguished by the editorship of Conrad Kellenberg. Connie was in- valuably assisted in his work by the former editor, Eliot Berg, who served this year in the capacity of Student Adviser, and by Associate Editors Archie Oldham and Arthur Andersen. Rounding out a staff which was remarkably well-balanced from the point of view of ability and temperament were Matt Clarke, Rocco Donatelli, Bill Curtin John Price and Gerard Cannon. John Smith, Charles Marino, and Ted Shiebler were the staff arti sts, and Andrew King filled the post of Business Manager. Under Dr. Ketrick's capable moderation and the combined efforts of the staff, the usual beginning-of-year organizational embroglio, heightened this year by the necessity f . o moving to new quarters, was quickly overcome. The fifteenth anniversary year, highlighted by Paul O'Brien's Shakespearian com- mentaries, the short stories of Ed Forshay and Ray Midwinter and the poetry of John Laino, gave evidence of being a notable one in SEQUOYA's history.

About seventy of the volunteers were chosen to com- prise the group under the capable direction of Father Robert J. Rivard, C.M. The officers elected for the year were: John Engargiola, '49 president, Joseph Puglisi, '50, vice president, Xavier Aufiero, '49, treasurer, Michael Matis, '50, secretary, and Fred l-laller, '52, librarian. The first appearance of the Glee Club was at the opening Mass of the scholastic year. On Armistice Day they sang the Requiem Mass for the Catholic War Veterans, and shortly thereafter the Anniversary Mass for Prof, George F. Murray. During the Retreat the group sang at the Masses and other spiritual exercises. On November lZ they gave a formal concert at Notre Dame College, Staten Island. The Fall term was climaxed by a return engagement for four Sundays during December on the nation- ally broadcast Catholic Hour , which brought them recogni- tion from all over the country. The Spring term was marked by two joint concerts and two full concerts. On February ll in DeGray the group played host to the Glee Club of Notre Dame College of Staten Island. On March ll they traveled to Mineola where they presented a formal concert for the Mineola Teachers' Association. May 6 marked the second annual concert in DeGray, and on May l3 the singers journeyed to New Haven, Conn., where they pre- sented a joint concert with the Glee Club of Albertus Magnus College. Thus terminated a very successful year for the honor and glory of St. John's College. omg, QW mf 5v.JoMss f 2.Fr1.'K '+I 23 f' ' ' KJ N' -'I Y' ' 1' -ff H Q 9 A! wi. .mgzg K E. pf: W5 R ,V A' J.

The St. John's Debate Council is a rather unique organization here at St. John's: it is the only group on the campus to actively engage in both varsity and Jay-vee intercollegiate competition on a purely academic level. Since its organization by Professor Nicholas E. Westhof in l946 it has mushroomed into one of the most active groups on the Lewis Avenue scene. The response to the coach's call for those interested in debating was, indeed, gratifying for approximately 70 men were enrolled in the society at the first meeting. The largest program ever attempted here at St. John's was then drawn up with more than 60 debates and ZO public forums scheduled with all of the major colleges and universities from Boston to Washington, D. C. Under the guidance of its officers, the Council planned its new season with increased vision, initiating almost at once a comprehensive and far reaching program of instruction for the new members in the techniques of thorough research, construction and presentation of a case. The Knights of Columbus clubhouse on Bushwick Avenue and Hart Street was procured for meetings, affording all the pleasure of a comfortable atmosphere. The subjects of the Council's verbal sortees this year ranged from the outlawing of the Communist party to the influence exerted by the Catholic press. And of course, the biggest political headaches of the day were sure to be on Society's proscription lists: the compulsory arbitration of labor disputes and very contraversial Taft-Hartley law. But the biggest interest of the group was in the year long discussion of the national debating topic: Resolved that the federal government should adopt a policy of equalizing educational opportunties in tax supported schools by means of annual grants. Literally hun- dreds of man hours were spent in very thorough research with mountains of Congressional Subcommittee Reports and government documents of all sorts being the main' stays. As a result of this preparation and of the countless hours of briefing by the coach, the teams were fully able to cope with any argument advanced by any of Metropolitan Colleges: Brooklyn, Col- lege of the City of New York, Columbia, Fordham, Manhattan, both Washington Square and University Heights branches of New York University, St. Peter's, Good Council and Mount Saint Michael-all long time, traditional engagements wit hthe Council. Encouraged by early Winter successes the team launched into a full time schedule in February with a record average of three varsity debates a week, with the climax coming the week of February l9 when three teams travelled up to West Point Saturday and returned to meet Princeton the next day. Tuesday found the Council taking on Georgetown, followed by Uptown and Downtown N. Y. U. successively. On Friday morning West Point came down to DeGray for a return match and that same afternoon two teams entrained South for four more llO 'QDU DEE? T13 OFFICERS Duncan A. Fraser, President Nicholas C.

Traveling late in February to the nation's capitol to met Georgetown and Catholic Universities and to Philadelphia to engage Villanova College and the University of Pennsylvania, two teams ably defended and opposed the national topic. lt was not until early in April that the teams went North this time stopping at Albertus Magnus Col- lege in New Haven and Boston University, while another team went on to Holy Cross in Worcester and Boston College. The College Forum, the Speakers' Association and Radio Forums also took on a heavy program of speech activities. The Forum discussed such things as the honor system and the Taft-Hartley Law, under the able direction of John F. Regan. The Speaker's Association under the guidance of Frank Durgin and John J. Walsh, furthered the cause of Catholic Action throughout the Metropolitan area by giving lectures on Communism, labor and capital, and Universal Military Training, before frequent meetings of such organizations as the Ancient Order of Hibernians, Knights of Columbus, Holy Name Society etc. Under the guidance of Duncan Fraser the Radio Forum made important contributions on the Catholic philosophy of life to the lnter-Collegiate Forum of the Air on station WWRL, and also played important roles in a television dramatization on WABD-TV for the Diocesan Confraternity of Christian Doctrine. All these activities came to a successful conclusion at the annual banquet held late in May at which Coach Westhof awarded the gold debate keys to those members of the St. John's Debate Council who had rendered exceptional and outstanding faithful service to the Society over a period of three years. ET SH QU What Price Glory! ,il 4 49 C f s G9 2 it s' K CY infill- Although Zeta Sigma Pi had been priding itself on being the only branch of a national fraternity at St. .lohn's, all contact had been lost with other chapters during the war years. ln order to keep its distinctive position in the college, Zeta undertook the somewhat arduous job of reviving the frat's nationwide ties. Bill Goddard and Joe McNamara handled the job, and it now appears as though Zeta will be able to resume national activities next year. During the course of the Fall term, Zeta's Executive Board spent a good deal of its time revising the chap- ter's constitution. The previous document, which no longer supplied the coverage necessary for the frat's ex- panding activities, was completely revised. The work ,took some months, but in the end the membership, by unanimously accepting the new constitution, agreed that the final product was worth the effort expended. The large number of pledgees taken in during Octo- ber and April again broke fraternity records. The mem- bership is thoroughly convinced that the sate and sane ll2 hazing introduced two years ago is here to stay. The zany antics of the pledgees, it has been proven, is better for both the morale and the longer life of the lowly pledge. The day of the paddle has passed! On December l7, two days before The Big Snow of '48 , the frat men and their friends turned out in force for Zeta's annual dance, held again in the Grill Room of the Hotel Taft. Another Zeta first was scored that night with the distribution of souvenirs to every one present. An additional innovation was the cover of the Dance Journal-instead of the conventional designs, the Zeta frat pin was reproduced in black and gold on the face of the booklet. Wally Rhodes and his orchestra, who are so often chosen to play at St. John's functions, supplied the music. The Spring Banquet, at which the annual award of the George F. Murray Memorial Medal for proficiency in the Social Sciences was made to Conrad Kellenberg, marked the end of the year's activities.

Under the aegis of John F. Donohue, Tau, dedicated to a genuine appreciation of good literature, practical Catholicity and good fellowship among the brothers, began the scholastic year with immediate attention to the last aim. Surrounded by an able executive staff of Thomas Boegel, vice president, John Regan, treasurer, David McCann, secretary, Owen Fitzgerald, historian and Lawrence Becht, sergeant-at-arms, President Donohue laid plans for the Fall hazing period. After two weeks of humiliation, nineteen pledgees were accepted into Tau at a dinner served in the Park-Vanderbilt Restaurant. Prof. Joseph Holland's speech and the entertainment program produced by the brothers were the highlights of the evening. The good fellowship angle was well accomplished in November and December. Brother Tom Costigan's house-party proved to be an enormous success, socially and numerically. Following this, eighteen fraternity members, accepting the invitation extended by Alpha Sigma Ro of Hunter College, attended a dinner-dance with the so- rority at the Roosevelt House. On the heels of this, Brother Frank Durgin welcomed the fraternity to a New Year's Eve party at his home. The outfit's hegira to Philadelphia for the St. Joseph's game concluded the Winter term social program. The second hazing period of the year, arising from the fraternity's amended constitution, enabled the Fall newcomers to develop quickly their surlier side. Twelve new members were received at the Spring Banquet. Prof. George Starrs gave a sparkling address on the appli- cation of morality and ethics to literature. Tau Night, April 22, again was the climax of the fraternity's literary endeavors. The McCole Memoral One-Act Play Contest and the O'Halloran Short Story Contest had been conducted earlier in the Spring Semester and the prize winning entries were acknowledged on this occasion. Raymond E. Kavanaugh took first prize in the One-Act Play Contest while Edward J. Forshay won the Short Story Contest. Mr. George E. Sokolsky, renowned as a lecturer and columnist, was received as an honorary member. The year was culminated with an outdoor festival held at the home of Brother Jim Stewart. ii5 I5 ll 3932.23 A S H . Pi Alpha Sigma Fraternity was organized in l94l un- der Professor Joseph Cardinale to serve as a cultural cen- ter for the students of our college who are interested in fostering the doctrine of Pan Americanism. The fraternity was quickly recognized as a rising dyna- mic organization and was received as a member of the lnter-American Federation of Catholic Seminars, which concerns itself with the exchange of scholarships and fel- lowships between the Americas. Under the able leadership of Father Frederick J. Easter- ly, C.M., Pi Alpha Sigma was the only active fraternity at St. John's during the war. Also under his guidance the fraternity gained by leaps and bounds in its activities and outstanding work. Each year the fraternity has held a Pan American Celebration, with an extensive display of culture of our neighbors to the south. During this festival a gold medal is presented to the person who in the opinion of fraternity has done outstanding work in fostering Pan-Americanism. Recipients of this medal have been such prominent men as Dr. Richard Pattee, Rev. Dr. James A. Magner, Catholic Universityg and Father Wheeler, editor of the America magazine. ln an effort to enliven interest in Pan-Americanism, the fraternity sponsors an essay contest among high school students of New York City schools. Medals are awarded to the authors of the three most excellent compositions. The work of Pi Alpha Sigma is known in most colleges of South America with whom the fraternity keeps an active correspondence.

In the near future the fraternity hopes to establish an inter-change of student scholarship with a Latin American Urfiversity. Pi Alpha Sigma is an ever growing fraternity, its members have been students sincerely earnest in futhering the cause of Paz, Amistad y Sinceridad with our Neighbors. The work of the fraternity has been facilitated in its years by the great work and interest contributed by students as Nicholas Sallese, Ted Barbiere, Bill McKenna, Bill Kurtz, Bill Cassidy, Conrad Kellen- berg, Nicholas Maletta, Tom McKee and James Seymour. Pi Alpha Sigma is moving forward with its work in the full confidence that it is following the right means to a much-sought end, that of establish- ing a true Good neighbor in Christ policy among all American countries. . f .f - 1,,,,,,f 5' i, s. , , if ,. 5 zfwfzifj 'V 1 L-Z'-V:-' YZ '. im' 41: ': Honorary member, Father Flynn addresses annual banquet. ig 'Q ' -ri' N , .ye , I f z 5 A ' Q -1 I Ns .. k V f X f 5 we 59 -up :lun - :wi .M 5 X , F- ,gg 3 :N -as 'g1,eif,, . ,fx x 13232 1 151 xSw,:E:,- :X X fi, 553 6 xxx Q 5 experiment with sfahc electnclty 3 .hx The chapter of the student affiliate of the American Chemical Society was formed to stimulate the interest of students who intend to enter either the chemical or a closely allied field. This end is accom- plished by means of lectures, movies and student discussions on chemical topics, which will provoke interested questions from the student-members. ln addition, one or two field trips are planned during the year, usually to some nearby research or analytical laboratory. That membership in this society is im- portant for the chemical student intending to enter the chemical field, is a fact easy to prove. In the classes the student learns of the classical interpretations of natural phenomena and receives the fundamental principles of chemistry. But such knowl- edge hardly makes-up the true scientist or even the scientific technician. The student must develop confidence and the ability to explain intelligently what he has learned. For these reasons all members are heartily encouraged to pick a chemical topic and with the help of a faculty member, to pre- pare a discussion which will be understood and appreciated by his fellow students. Ex- cellent experience along this Iine was re- ceived through the Atomic Energy Exhibit that was held in DeGray Hall on March 5, 6, and 7. At this demonstration of the de- composition of the atom and the benefits therefrom the members of the A. C. S. and Roger Bacon Scientific Society served as lec- turers and demonstrators. American Chenucal Society I'PE3E -QMEZID S0 ' l.lLfil'Ll'Nl? 9 l l l i Under the able leadership of its president, Paul Buchbauer, the Pre- Medical Society has had a very successful initial year of existence. Organized in the early part of i948 under the guidance of its moder- ator, Professor Edward J. Keegan, the society sent delegates to the Metro- politan Pre-Medical Association and obtained membership therein. The officers elected to assist Mr. Buchbauer in this new experiment were: LeRoy Gardner, vice president, William Mahoney, secretary, and Allan Young, treasurer. Membership swelled to over seventy-five students, one of the highest organizational memberships in the college. An instructional open forum on medical education was held in the fall with professors of the Biology, Chemistry and Physics departments attend- ing and answering questions, At meetings scientific films were shown and lectures given by well known scientists. A complete file on medical re- quirements was made available to members and others desiring such information. The enthusiasm of all the members is assuring the success of the col- lege's newest society which aims to extend pre-medical knowledge and assistance to pre-medical and pre-dental students. l2O l l i i .., J N J' EL i l i, mi 'li l l'i ll ii! l li w ,, i, l.

Lawrence Lonergan, C.M., who received his master of fine arts from Catholic University last year. His qualifications were immediately evidenced through a lecture on methods of staging which he delivered before the members of the society. With the coming of the new term the society became affiliated with the Catholic Theatre Conference. At the Christmas assembly the Rev. Moderator's adaptation of the Second Shepherd's play was presented. ln the Zone, a one-act play by Eugene O'Neil, was produced during the month of February and a few weeks later the society sponsored a demonstration in the art of theatre make-up. May brought the Chapel Players' major pro- duction to DeGray Hall. The play was Richard Brinsley Sheridan's famous comedy The Rivals. lt was well received for its splendid portrayals, fine direction and original settings. Raymond E. Kavanagh headed the society as president with Ted Shiebler, Cosmo Saporito, Robert Adams and David McCann filling the re- maining executive posts.

The organization, known to the members of the College as those crazy guys who lick little pieces of paper was started in September of l948 by a group of students who thought that St. John's had everything, that is, everything except a Stamp Club. Since every club is supposed to have certain aims, we too have considered this problem. The aims of the paper paste-rs are the aims of any club. First the increase of the individuaI's collection, second, to facilitate the exchanging ot stamps among members, third, to Contact with those students in other countries who are interested in stamp collecting. Every organization has some treasured memory of something which has or has not hap- pened to it. Ours happened in one issue ot the Torch which was posting a notice of a meeting for us. The following appeared: Attention those interested in Stamp Collecting. The Stamp l Club is holding a saliva drill today in the fourth floor broom closet.

With an aim at profitably satisfying that yen, the Society is . . . dedicated to the pleasurable and intellectual dis- cussion of the principles of philosophy put forth by the An- gelic Doctor, St. Thomas Aquinas, as they pertain to current problems. The small but interested group who constituted the society in its early days were looking to do something constructive with the many philosophical bull sessions going on from time to time in the cafeteria. Why not form a discussion group that argues topics philosophically? they asked. The Philosophical Society was the result and under the eager, knowing eye of Dr. Czajkowski, the moderator, the society has increased in popularity among members and non- members alike. Taking much good-natured ribbing in their early days, the initial group stuck at it, and now, after three years of pleas- urable arguing, the Philosophical Society is really here to stay. With a substantial list of active members the society looks to future years with high hopes and with happiness at being able to pass on to future classes another fruitful and pleasur- able activity.

WALTER McLAUGHLlN Moderator of Athletics Director of Athletics Ybor BILL WARD DUSTY DeSTEFANO ' TITO BALESTRIERI Track 'Coach Frosh Basketball Coach Rifle Coach Frosh Baseball Coach FRANK McGUIRE Varsity Coach Basketball and Baseball THE 0NE SPORT BUGABO0, R. l. P. The sports year i948-49 saw the death blow admin- istered to the pseudo-tradition long prevalent at Lewis Avenue that St. John's is a one sport school. Basket- ball, perennial kingpin of St. John's athletics, was out- stripped by Varsity Baseball and Frosh Track, in the matter of trophy gathering. On the diamond, Coach Frank McGuire guided his nine to its first Metropolitan championship, went on to win the NCAA District Two diadem, defeated Boston College for the Eastern Regional title and a place in the College World Series, the NCAA finals at Wichita, Kansas. Likeable Bill Ward, in his second year as Track coach at the Wigwam, gave evidence of the sound foundation he is building for the sport at St. John's by piloting his yearlings to the best year ever enjoyed by a St. John's Frosh team. The fabulous lads accumulated accolades on a year-round basis, starting with the Metropolitan and NCAA cross-country titles in the fall, ending with a resounding victory in the Met. Championships in May. Rev. Joseph Browne, C.M. found time from his press- ing duties as Moderator of Athletics to double as Soccer coach, and firmly entrench that sport on the Vincentian athletic agenda. Under Father Browne's capable leader- ship, Soccer was given a new birth of popularity at St. John's and great hopes for its future are held. Tito Balestrieri, '48, who acted as student coach of Rifle during his undergraduate days, carried on as men- tor of the fusileers while pursuing graduate studies in Teachers College. Last but by no means least, Al Dusty DeStefano, Frank McGuire's right hand man, enjoyed his second straight banner year as coach of the St. John's Frosh hoopsters, besides assisting Frank in Varsity Basketball and coaching Freshman Baseball. 125 iff.. 11,011 iv e uf mm. , 14 ,, . ,mu v Ns l ' :T JACK LILLIS A V Director of..

The yearling cagers garn- ered the mythical city championship for the second year in succession by defeating such con- tenders as St. Francis, City, N. Y. U., and Man- hattan. The three quintets which marred an otherwise perfect slate for the Frosh were the Intramural All-Stars, who, under the tutelage of lM Sarno and Jack Foerst, eked out a de- serving 64-59 win, Cathedral College, which halted the Little Redmen 53-52 with three foul shots caged in the final minute of play, and a Fordham club which jolted the yearlings by a 7 l -67 count. ln there trying for Varsity berths next year will be a number of talented members of the 48-49 Frosh. Jack McMahon, Ray Tully, and Bob Zawoluk showed sufficient court prowess to earmark them for the Varsity. McMahon has been rated as a possible successor to Dick McGuire. Tully and Zawoluk are both big men, Ray Tully towers of strength under the boards and pro- ficient scorers. .loe Hughes and Jack Lamarca are two other operatives who will bear watching come next season. Both are excellent floor men, both possess deadly set shots.

R LESLIE' I The i948-49 Varsity Rifle team, under the coaching eye of Tito of seven wins, two losses in second-place tie with Columbia in the Balestrieri, turned in a commendable record league competition, thereby earning a Metropolitan Intercollegiate Rifle League standings. The fusileers prepared for their league schedule by engaging the Equite able Life nimrods in two warmup matches. The first of these, staged on ' ' l' i334-l332 mar- October 29, saw the Redmen emerge victorious by a s im gin. The second, staged November l2, was won by St. John's with exactly the same score, l334, to l329 for the insurance combine. Soph Bob Murphy was high for the Redmen in both matches, with 28l in the first and 278 in the second. ln the Metropolitan Intercollegiate Rifle League invitation tournament, the St. John's sharpshooters placed third behind NYU and Kings Point. Vin Vella, a newcomer to St. Jonn's rifle competition, placed second in individual scoring in the MIRL with a 275.62 average. At the Varsity S-J Dinner on May 25, major awards went to John ' P l DiBasi, who captained the team, Dick Sempowich, Bob Murphy, and au Al Avallone, Bob Buchbauer, manager. Freshman letters were awarded to Bou, Pat Connelly, Dan Fitzgerald, Ma rio Gambino, Harry Lea, Henry Merriman, and Vin Vella. l37 ,f ,,.,.,,, ,.,A.,,,,i if ,lzr I !,-V Rifle 1-carnal-I imgnff . r f Nlifipnrgj' Rifle Association of America Sf.lJ6hn's'Universit I 'f ' ment lCascone' Me!rnoll'lgla'lll::pIT: M- SICQC R ln a return match with Pratt, the booters managed to squeeze out a l-l tie. Goalie Ray Boffardi scored his only shutout of the season in the final game against Queens College, 2-O. As coach of the team, Rev. Joseph Browne, C.M. did a standout job. l-le was handicapped by a lack of experienced personnel, and met A an the situation by molding a tight defensive club. Fullbacks Jack Kaiser .exi ' and Jim Szabo along with halfback Deery gave Boffardi plenty of pro- Q , tection in the nets. Bernie Tansey and Jack Reddy, both lacking pre- h ' , vious experience, were a great help to the team along with rough and hard-fighting Dan Finn. With eight members of the starting lineup and some of the re- serves due back next fall, Father Browne should have a sound team. Plenty of defense and very little offense characterized the soccer club this year. Lacking experience and a scoring punch, the booters compiled a record of two wins, five losses and one tie. They scored only seven times in their eight games, being held goalless on four occasions. Three men did all the scoring, Captain John Deery and Forward Claude Dragten each scored three times while freshman Bernie Keegan dented the twines for the other goal. However, the opposition 'tallied only eleven times. The team opened the season with a win over Brooklyn College, 2-l, but then dropped their next contest to Pratt in the final ten seconds of an overtime by a 3-2 Count. ln their next four games, the Redmen failed to score, losing to Columbia, Panzer, Queens College and City College.

Redmen Capture Their First Metropolitan Crown With Coach Frank McGuire at the helm the Indian Nine copped the Metropolitan Collegiate Crown for the first time in SJU history. This win by the Redmen ends the long, long domination of the league by NYU who had won the Trophy for the last six consecutive years. St. John's had a league record of l2 wins and 2 losses for a percentage of .857. Tied in the second spot were NYU and CCNY with 9 victories and 5 defeats each. The Indians' season record for all games played was l6 wins with 3 losses, ,842 ball. Reading from left to right in the outfield the Indians had Tony Garin, Johnny Kaiser, Capt. of the nine, and Tommy Tolan. Garin belted the ball at a .284 clip while Capt. Kaiser earned the honor of the fourth highest Redman batting average, 338. Going deep into the hole at shortstop for the start of many double plays was Herb Rossman, slugging shortstop, who flipped to Artie West, the right half of the keystone combination, with West relaying the ball to first base where Jimmy Felton completed the DP. Third base duties were capably handled by Dick Bohner. The Redmen infield had a combined BA of .3l8. Peanuts Miller did the bulk of the catching while Jack Gimmler handled the rest of the work behind the bat. fsP3122Qwziffafffwzqrmyf. , , ,. . ., 55x2'1i2btfl'1V 5'7H'E'I3QZ2S.X y ' 3C:712 f'f1:23ff '11',1'E, 5f2 'WM Km, - .,., -I wmfw-vi.-Azz.. f1',,:fw.:',.- 1 if- ,. . :ww - 1- ff, ..

Rossman had the highest BA, 385, garnered the most hits, rapped out the most doubles and accounted for the greatest amount of total bases. He also tied Kaiser in the Home Run Dept. Tony Garin and Dick Bohner each headed two departments. Garin clouted the most triples and batted in the most runs while Racing Richard stole the most bases and was the Redman who crossed the plate to tally the most runs. Gerry Brown, who had an unsullied loop slate of five consecutive triumphs, was the only unbeaten twirler in the league. Brown was chosen for the Metropolitan Collegiate Baseball Conference All- Star team for the second straight year. ln I947 he was awarded the John McGraw Trophy as the outstanding pitcher of the Con- ference. Brown pitched 43 innings, allowing 33 hits while giving up 30 walks and striking out 3O for an Earned Run Average of 2.93. Dom Novak, leading hurler of '48 won 5 and dropped l this season, hurling 57V3 innings of ball while giving up 50 hits, l7 free passes, striking out 40 and had the best ERA, 2.20. while being touched for 60 hits.

Redmen Down Fordham Nine in 131-h Inning, 2-1 It took St. John's 13 innings to down Fordham at Dexter Park, 2-1 on May 14, 1949 with a big assist going to the Rams' left fielder Joe Hargraves, whose three-base error in the 13th allowed the winning run to score. Veteran Gerry Brown pitched the entire 13 innings to gain his fifth Met Conference victory. Almost continually in trouble after the first two frames, because of ten walks and two miscues by his team mates, Brown had the stuff to get himself out of tight fixes. He threw a six-hitter and whiffed seven. A walk, Tony Camera's single, and a double steal put the Rams in front in the fourth. St. John's equalled it in the sixth when Tony Garin's triple to left hammered home Dick Bohner, who had singled. 143 In the 13th, sub Don MacKenzie opened the stanza with a long drive to straight away left. Hargrave went after it, got his glove on the ball but it bounced out of his mitt, MacKenzie going to third. Herb Rossman followed with a single to end the game. Brown had his closest shave in the top of the 13th, when Ford- ham loaded the bases on an error, a single and a walk with one out. Brown then retired the side on a force play at the plate and curved a third strike past Quinn. St. John's Conquers City College, 7-6 First baseman Jim Felton's single to center scored Artie West from second in the tenth inning to give St. John's 7-6 triumph over City College in a Met.

The Redmen had fashioned a five run lead for Dom Novak going into the top of the eighth but City broke loose for six runs in the final two innings for a 6-5 lead. However, St. John's evened matters in the bottom of the ninth. Jerry Weinstein's er- ror on Rossman's grounder plus two infield outs and Tony Garin's one baser to center produced the tying tally. Tom Toian, in.his third year on the diamond varsity, shifted from his first base position to cover the right- field pasture for this year's nine. 559k .,dreW+sfaitih 1:55 , ts in fu3wii?1?e?he 'Y 'Lii2msl!HQ!KStnp1'dvxhesvivifhg Irv vMillerg'f. , .flu an 3. 5 4' Joe Pereira of the Beavers who came in as a relief hurler in the ninth was the victim of another miscue by Weinstein in the tenth.

The Redmen belted 4 maroon hurlers for fifteen hits, with Capt. Kaiser showing the way. Kaiser had a perfect day at bat, five for five, including a 340 foot home run. Tied 2-2 in the second inning, the ln- dians scored four in the third and continued pounding away with 2 more runs in the 4th, 6 in the 6th, and 4 more in the 7th, Jack Gordon pitched the entire game and hit his stride after the Flatbush flurry in the second and had the Brooks swinging futiley until the eighth. 145 EIU HM GETS UL? TEM! C2325 Fl YGHJFFS At the time of this writing the Redmen nine had advanced to the NCAA Finals Wichita, Kansas, where they were scheduled to meet Texas in the opening contest. St. John's earned the honor of competing in the finals by de- feating Rutgers and Penn State to emerge victors of the District ll playoffs. Next the McGuire Men sunk Boston College in two straight games. 146 ST. JOHN'S I4-RUTGERS 8 In the opening round of the N CAA district 2 playoffs, held on June 6th at Dexter Park, St. John's met Rutgers. Gerry Brown was Frank McGuire's choice on the mound and he successfully weathered a pair of Scarlet uprisings to notch a i4-8 victory, in a loosely played, free- scoring affair. ST. JOHN'S 3-PENN STATE 0 The second game saw the Redmen pitted against highly-regarded Penn State. ln this one Dom Novak turned in a superlative 3-O, five hit, one walk performance. His mates scored one run in the opening inning added one in the 4th and one in the 5th, with Tony Garin's powerful bat ac- counting for two runs batted in. ST. JOHN'S 4-PENN STATE ll The next day St. John's met Penn State again with the District 2 crown riding on the outcome. A St. John's win would give the Redmen the title, while a Penn State victory would necessitate a rubber game to decide the winner. The Nittany Lions came back strong after their initial loss and handed the Redmen a l l-4 loss. Jack Gordon was the loser. ST. JOHN'S 7-PENN STATE 5 ln the second game of the double- header Dom Novak tried to perform an iron man stunt and came close enough to succeeding to notch a 7-5 win, his second over Penn State in twenty-four hours. The slick right-hander ran his string of scoreless innings to fifteen before being touched for three Lion tallies in the seventh. ln the mean- time, however, his mates had piled up a five-run cushion. Novak was nicked for an additional run in the eighth, and had to be removed in favor of Gerry Brown, who nailed it down. St. John's scored two in the eighth, to offset a final Penn State marker in the ninth. Artie West, Valley Stream, L. I. operative who stepped into the starting second base slot in mid-season. ST. JOHN'S I0-BOSTON COLLEGE 5 On June l3, the Redmen met Boston College in a day-night double header to determine the Eastern Re- gional representative. ln the opener Novak again started, and coasted into the ninth inning with a IO-l margin. But with two down in the ninth, the Eagles finally solved Dom's offerings and he was touched for four runs. Jerry Brown came on and registered a strikeout to end the threat, and give St. John's a lO-5 win. ST. JOHN'S 7-BOSTON COLLEGE 2 ln the second contest Brown twirled a neat seven- hitter to humble the Eagles by a 7-Z count, aided con- siderably by seven B. C. miscues. This contest clinched the Regional title for the Redmen. l47 LT umuuea so 'j 57 I S All The St. John's Freshman baseball team opened its season somewhat disastrously on Saturday, April 9, at Dexter Park, and dropped a I2-3 loss to the talented N. Y. U. frosh. After this initial loss they recovered to score wins over Fordham, Hofstra, Queens, City, and a revenge victory over N. Y. U., while dropping two more games, one to Hofstra, and one to Manhattan. Tops in the batting for the frosh was Ray Tully of basketball fame, who batted a cool .389 for the season while doubling as a catcher and outfielder. Close behind Ray was Larry DiPippo, hard-hitting first baseman, who batted .318 in the cleanup spot. Three Jacks, Curran Gordon, and Lang, and George Fort were the mound mainstays. The latter teamed with Lang to turn in the best hurling per- formance of the campaign, a masterful two hit, 4-O shutout of Queens. Each gave up one hit, Fort struck out nine while Lang retired five via the l u lll lUHfl',5'l' . t l . , Q 1 .. IQ a a 'K JMS? ff 6' 9 ...Vx I .

Another standout job was turned in by Marty Wilson, who shut out the Violets in the return affair, 4-O. Wilson went the route, spread five hits nicely and struck out five while issuing two free passes. The little Redmen had to come from behind twice to notch two of their victories. Against Ford- ham on April l3, they overcame a 4-3 deficit with a three run uprising in the sixth inning, on singles by DiPippo, Tully, Bob Duckett, and Pat Vecchio. Against Hofstra on April 26, DiPippo spoiled Hof- stra hurler Ken Cloud's bid for a shutout, by blast- ing a grand slam homer in the eighth to give ST.

Chief point-getter for the trackmen was the mile relay team, composed of John Bell, Doug Martin, Jim Kelly, and Al McGuire. This quartet opened the season with a fourth place in the Seton Hall relays, and followed that by gaining third plaC6 honors in the Penn relays one week later. The Redmen were also strong in the field events, where Carl Ferrari, John Cirellif Frank DiPiIlo, Joe McCarthy, Mike DePalo, and Dave Wassmer turned in creditable performances. Hofstra Meet Best SJU Performance ln dual meets, the spiked shoe lads scored victories over St. Francis and Hofstra, while losing to Brooklyn College. ln the Hofstra meet, run at Hempstead, L. l., the Redmen scored their most decisive victory, a 6l V2-l7V1 count. Al McGuire starred in this one, winning the mile in 42455, and the half-mile in 2:O4.5. St. Johns supremacy was apparent in the distance events. ln the mile, John Archbold and Doug Martin placed second and third to give St. John's a sweep. ln the quarter-rnlle run, the Redmen again gained a sweep, with Jim Kelly, John Bell, and Ray CQBSSICJY finishing in that order. The time was O:52.9. ln field events at Hofstra, Carl Ferrari was another double winner, winning the sixteen pound shot with a throw of 35 feet, 7 inches, and the discus with a heave of lO5 feet. Ferrari also placed third in the Hammer throw, which was won by Frank D'0rBZi at ll5 feet, 5 inches. Only a winning polevault of 9 feet, 6 inches by DON Ogilore of Hofstra, prevented the Redmen attaining a clean sweep in the field events, as Joe McCarthy took the high jump at 6 feet, l inch, and Bob Poggenberg leaped 20 feet, 6 inches to cop the broad jump. ln the larger meets the Redmen were hard pressed to place among the. Polnf' getters, as the N. Y. U. and Manhattan powerhouses dominated the field. With tl'1IS year's crop of amazing freshmen coming up, however the varsity should be able to alter this situation next year. l' On Wednesday, May l l, the St. John's Fresh- man track team scored a resounding victory in the Met Intercollegiate meet at Randalls Island. Far ahead of all competitors with a point total of 88, the yearlings thereby climaxed the most successful season ever turned in by a freshman team in St. John's history. The talented youngsters had given all com- petitors fair warning that they were loaded for bear as far back as the crosscountry season when they walked off with the lC4A title over a field of opponents representing all sectors of the country. Then to prove that win was no fluke, they breezed through an indoor season in fine style. A consistent winner was the mile relay com- bine, composed of Mike Rosterling, Al Rickey, Hal Kichbien, and Tex Pascarela. Pat Daley turned in noteworthy performances in his spec- ialty, the 600 , and also stayed with the field in the l,OOO yard run, where teammate Hugh Campbell excelled. ln the Mile Run, Bill Pates carried the Red and White banner. Another steady 600 man was Al Rickey of the relay quartet. Jack McDonough and Bill Widmaier piled up points for the little Redmen in the two- mile run. ln the field events, the yearlings were also well stocked with point-getters. Charlie DiOrio was a consistent scorer in the broad jump. Shot putters Hal Scully and Sal Sopinwere among the leaders of Met contenders, while Bob Guidera and Ray Haurita more than held their own in the 35 pound weight throw. George Gates soared over the high jump bar in fine style to add to the St. John's total, while Gerry Daly proved a steady scorer in the pole vault. All things considered Bill Ward can look for- ward to his third year as Track coach at the Wigwam with high hopes for the prestige of St. John's on the boards and on the Cinder paths, when these talented youngsters come of age next season.

The St. John's tennis team under the tutelage of Coach George Seewagen fin- ished out its third post-war season last week with a five wins six losses record. Highlighting the season's play was the fine form exhibited by Captain Ed McGrath, regular number one man, in trimming all eleven of his opponents in the singles and also not tasting defeat in any of his eleven doubles matches. McGrath, three-time Eastern lndoor champion, never lost more than three games while winning all his matches in straight sets. Competing with various partners the Brooklyn ace turned in an l l -O slate. Joe Cascio, Woodhaven sophomore, playing number two singles in the nine matches in which he appeared, took eight of the decisions, losing only to Joe Hag- gerty of Fordham. Ray Young, starting off the season as number three man and later being re- placed by Archie Oldham, had a four and five record while Oldham had a six and three slate. Fifth position was regularly held down by Warren Carlson who turned in a five and five season while Pat Frasca playing six in the Redman line-up won five and lost six. Wins were posted over Arnold College of Milford, Conn., Pratt, Manhattan, St. Peter's and Hofstra. Losses were inflicted by CCNY, Seton Hall, Queens, Fordham, Wagner and St. Joseph's of Philadelphia. Four ofthe six losses were 5 to 4 affairs with the Others going 6 to 3. 1 Smashing Ed McGrath nf Aix? FE The idea of reforming a fencing team was conceived by Christian Raffalli.
