AA.. .'f ,r rv ix. . , mv...- 'ro THE NORTH AMERICAN MARTYRS OLD France, heroic mother of heroic sons, sent to the New World of the seventeenth century some of her illustrious progeny. The fullness of the glory they won is written only on the eternal scroll of heaven. Yet we thank her for the gift, for the fleeting glimpse we have had of their lives of self-abnegation, hidden with Christ in God, we thank her for the inspiration of these mis- sionaries, of lsaac Jogues, John de Brebeuf, Anthony Daniel, Charles Garnier, Gabriel Lalemant, Noel Chaba- nel, Rene Goupil and John Lalande. To them had been appointed the supreme triumph of martyrdom. New France allured these disciples of Ignatius of Loyola to her wilderness, her impregnable fastnesses and her cruel, treacherous Indians. Patience in suffering was their daily lot, martyrdom their only hope. Yet they were men of deep culture, skilled in the arts and sciences--- men with brilliant careers just ahead of them, men from Paris, Orleans, Rouen and Moulins. But the virgin soil of North America drew them. lt was the chosen altar of their sacrifice. From it there arose the magnificent armies which would wage a tireless war in behalf of Catholic Faith through Jesuit education. That their lonely lives were not lived in vain, we know-forever do they reign with the God they served so well, happy with a joy which no man can take from them. For their intrepid spirit, their undaunted hope, their whole-hearted love of God, we pay these men homage. THE JESUIT INFLUENCE Mill the turbulence at the Retormation and the Renaissance, Jesuitry sprung into being with a system of education haying no parallel in history. Its origin was unique, the system being based on the stolid practicalities ot the soldier-saint Loyola. l-le and his associates drew only the best from antiquity and the scholastics. Thus did they organize the ratio studiorumf' During the sixteenth and seven- teenth centuries, the gradual aggrandizement ot Jesuit colleges and teachers reached its culminating point, lt was through the period ot these years that the domination ot Jesuit influence gained its zenith in Europe. While the student pursues the sciences and belies-lettres, they emphatically demonstrate to him, the proper relations ot man to God, to his fellow- man and to himself, as the lesson of prime impor- tance, l-lence, from the yery outset, their domina- tion has been absolute, not only oyer the minds, but also over the hearts of their students during tour com- pleted centuries. lair lvl l I i l i ITS GROWTH IN AMERICA ESUIT influence, since IGB4, has spread gradually from the Continent to America, I-lere was a new country, vast in its boundories and in dire need ot a SYSIGIWW Ol pedagogy. They hoped to dot this land with colleges and preporatory schools, so a few Jesuits, in Sltraitened circumstances, humbly began to lay the lvlans ot accomplishment, With undaunted courage and high hopes, they set out from Maryland to spread IIWGIV CJOSpel ot true learning from shore to shore.

FOREWORD N the compilation of this volume, we, the Senior Class, have attempted to digress gracefully from the cus- ' tomary procedure of confining these records solely to the Activities of the Senior Class. We have endeavored to recount every project that has been sponsored by each Class of the Student Body during the past year, in pref- erence to the traditional method of featuring each enter- prise of one Class, the Seniors, during their four years at St. Joseph's College. For our theme, we have chosen to demonstrate the growth of the Society of Jesus in Amer- ica. This will not be disclosed by a use of flowery rhetoric, but, rather, in accordance with Jesuit ideals, it will be done simply. Confucius said that one picture is worth a thousand words. Hence, we shall use pictures-pictures of present Jesuit insti- tutions of learning. By recalling their humble beginning, we can readily discern, through contrast, their valiant advance.

Renown-strong, firm and endur- ing-rises slowly from the labor of years, finds unwilling recognition in the eyes of men, and gains life as it strug- gles against a thousand bitter prejudices and conventions. To Father Clarence E. Shaffrey such a renown has come. A scholar, a scientist, a priest, whose worth is known beyond the classroom, whose repute has reached far beyond the pale of his personal influence, Father Shaffrey has labored for long years without thought of any earthly recompense. And, in that very act of labor- ing for the good of his countless pupils, in toiling for their success, and thereby that of humanity, he has unwittingly etched in the heart of each a tablet of glory that unfail- ingly reflects the magnificence of his unremitting toil and ultimate achievement By its humble dedication of this volume to him, by its unstinted words of gratitude, the Class of l934 sincerely hopes to thus add another stone to the imposing edifice of honor, renown and homage that has risen before our esteemed Father Shaffrey. h 'd al Under the guidance of your Alma SElNllORSZ All oroot achievenients have grown out ot hig i e ss.

Father Greaton's Residence First, the spark, then, the feeble flame that faltered though pressed by howling winds which sought to snuff its breath, that cowered before chilling rains which fell upon it, beat upon it, slashed it and made it sink back toward death. Then the winds died, the rains ceased. The flame took courage. Higher and higher it leaped, stronger and stronger reared its column, brighter and brighter shone its light. ln the end, a glowing, pulsating, breathing shaft of Goa-given light was fixed forever in the world. as it fought for life, that grew stronger So was born St. Joseph's College. Eighty-three years have passed since the day that Father Barbelin opened the doors of the first CGllWOllC COHGQG in Philadelphia, two hundred years have passed since the desire for that opening first came into the heart of a Jesuit priest. lt is given to one man to sow, another to reap -so also we may say that it is given to many men to first make ready the ground upon which the seed is to foll' The lliffml College slumbered in the hearts of many pioneer Jesuit Fathers, nursed with a con- tinual desire, strengthened with an unswerving trust, before it was brought to realization by a courage that would not be denied. Far back in l733, when Pennsylvania was but one of the English Colonies, still smarting under the latest of the Navigation Laws, the Rev. Joseph Greaton, S. J., the first Jesuit to be Philadelphia, founded his church, still standing today as the famed Old St. Joseph Street and Willings Alley. His was a vision and a hope-a vision that Catholic faith established in 's, at Fourth and Catholic education were to be initiated and sustained in Philadelphia, a hope that God would give him the means whereby to carry out his plans. The first was not long before realization, the time for the latter had not yet came. His was a battle against overwhelming odds. From the very start he was beset by religious prejudice and outspoken hatred, and he was forced to rest content with his one monumental work, Yet the ground was broken, and the first in a long line of toilers had done his work. ln the one hundred and eighteen years that followed before the actual founding of the College, rector succeeded rector, priest succeeded priest, and in the heart of each was the same thought-a Catholic College for Philadelphia, But theirs was to struggleland to die. Every passing day of the elQhteenth century uncovered new toils and hardships for the Jesuit priests stationed in Philadelphia. But with the close of the warfare, in the ODGNHQ of the old school where studies of a seed that was planted upon the scarred ground, Of future years. ' Carefully the seed was nurtured, carefully Thirteen very year of the Battle of Yorktown, we read of the very elementary character wee taught. This was the this was the spark from which was to come the light the spark was applied to the waiting, tinder, shielded THE GREATONIAN 1934 from the blasts of preiudice and the chilling rains of blind opposition. Strong, vigorous, courageous men, priests of God, Jesuits, gave their lives to the preservation of the tiny flame, pledged themselves to its furtherance, and God saw fit to accept their sacrifice. Even the violent hatreds engendered by the Nativist riots of i834 were not enough to stamp out the growing flame. Sometimes it would grow dim, waver, but always the new day brought new life. The seed had taken root, the flame had seized upon the fuel. The sun shone brightly upon the United States in the middle of the nineteenth century, the land was so busy seeking its share of new wealth that Catholic educational projects could go forward with- out the accustomed opposition. Father Felix Barbelin, S. J., then the rector, seized upon this welcome opportunity, and for over a year labored in the preparation for the great work. The climax of one hundred and eighteen years of endeavor came on the morning of September l5, l85l, when the doors of the College were opened to all who aspired to higher education. Forty students attended those first classes which were conducted on the ground floor of the edifice. By the end of the year that number had increased to ninety-seven, in four years there were one hun- dred and forty-nine students attending the college classes. Although the State Charter had been granted in l852, not until six years later, with the inauguration of the philosophy department, were any degrees awarded. During this time definite courses were established and a stipulated routine enforced. Comparison with the schedule of .today shows that the students of the pioneer days had much longer hours and a far longer term, Both the classical and commercial students were closeted in the school from eight-thirty in the morning until five in the afternoon, with a period of two and a half hours being allowed for lunch and recreation. Besides this, mass for the students was celebrated each day at eight. Grouped about Father Barbelin in his momentous undertaking were the Rev. Burch- ard Villiger, S.J., the Rev. Francis Vespre, S.J., Mr. Patritius A. Jordan, S.J., and lvlr. Frederick Lager, SJ, Those were the days of great hopes, great expectations. The College was caught up in the great tide of material prosperity that swept over the land, enveloped it, drugged it with its elusive power and swept it to newlheights never before attained, never dreamed of as possible attainments. Those were the days of great expansion, when the frontiers were pushed back in bold thrusts before the sweeping onrush of the new railroads, when space fell before the miracle of the telegraph, and the foundations of world-famous fortunes laid, Perhaps it was fortunate that the College should have come into being at lust those times and no other, for then it was enabled to strengthen itself against the greater trials that were to come, greater time was given the roots to strike deeper into the yielding soil. As the student body increased, the old building proved inadequate and it was finally decided to begin a program of expansion that started with the acquiring of a new site at Juniper and Filbert Streets where today stands the Evening Bulletin Building. This was in January, l856. The founder of the College, Father Barbelin, had been replaced by the Rev, James Ryder, S.J., who in turn was succeeded by the Rev. James A. Ward, S.J. ln i857 came a short, disastrous panic upon the country and all the material gains of the previous seven years were swept away. The College suffered. Just when the first proud fruits of expansion were beIng tasted and hopes for a more prosperous future were being indulged, it seemed that everything was to be lost, that the labor of years was to go before the choking grip of nation- wide financial ruin, Despite the seeming defeat in the move, despite the bitterness, disappointments and losses it involved, prudent leadership dictated that the College be moved back to the original home at Fourth Street and Willings Alley. ln this black moment Father Barbelin was again ap- pointed leader of the forces that courageously launched against the repulse. Undaunted by the loss of previous gains, by the appearance of failure just when success had seemed assured, and by the still more terrible war clouds that drew about the country as it plunged into a disastrous When the College was situated at Filbert and Juniper Streets Fourteen 1934 THE GREATONIAN Civil War, Father Barbelin marshclled his forces so well that the next two years brought a new high mark in attendance-one hundred and sixty-two-with all the former studies, save philosophy, having been resumed, Not only the attendance but all kinds of activity boomed. Ex- hibitions of all kinds, especially short plays and debates, were given to the assembled student body and their friends. lt was courageous advance like this, in the face of the most appalling difficulties, that was to bring success ultimately. Shortly alter the end of the War, the dream of ex- Lansion was once more brought to the fore, and, in l866, Father Barbelin purchased a spot three miles northwest of 'fOld .t. ' ' S Joseph s. ln this, the second move for a greater The Old College Building College that he had instigated, he saw the final realiza- wth and Stiles Streets tion of his labor of years, thought that he was at last to Now the Prep School behold the plans of decades take final shape in the form Of bricks and mortar, the permanent home of the new College. Death overtook him before his work was completed and it was Father Villiger, the former Vice-President to Father Barbelin, who laid the corner-stcne of the new church erected cn the site in June of l868. December saw the opening of the new edifice, and from then an, progress was rapid. Eighteen hundred and seventy-nine saw the opening of a parish school and ten years later b'0UQht the dream of dreams--the rebirth and reopening of St. Joseph's College. A long and heart- lefldlfisl struggle it had been, and a worthy one, and it had been waged by men of courage and clear v.s:on. The succeeding years brought long strides in a program of expansion that was placed before The leaders of the new College. At the turn of the century, the fiftieth anniversary of the College was Celebmledt Nine Vears later, the buildings grouped about the school were still further increased when The need of a faculty house was realized. ln l9l7, with the appointment of the Rev, Redmond J. Walsh, S. J., as President, the government WGS Once OQGJVW plunged into war. The College immediately volunteered assistance to the country both by utilizing its buildings as a Students' Army Corps base and by having seven hundred and twenty' four Of her students enrolled in all branches of service. Fourteen of these gave their lives to the cause. The VGOF following the War, the Rev. P. F. O'Gorman, S.J., was named President. His term lasted 3 WSOF when he was succeeded by the Rev. Albert G. Brown, SJ. During this time, a movement came Obcful lo Sellarate the College department from the l-ligh School, a movement that was actualized dUl UQ The term of Father Brown. A9091 eXDansion came to the fore when it was planned to erect new College buildings on a new plot Ol Qround. l-leretafore, St. Joseph's had offered one solid course of seven years, at the close of Which the Bachelor of Arts degree was awarded. The campaign was begun, generous donations poured 'nf SUCOUVGQIHQ the proposed expansion. The site at Fifty-fourth Street and City Line Avenue was Gcguired and developed, the breaking of ground for the initial buildings being held on September 27, l925. Since then, an additional building, the John E. Lonergan School of Mechanics, has been erected, the dedication taking place in April of l933. Thus, in outline, is the history of St. Joseph's College written. lt is the colorful story of a 5lVUQQlG'f'a struggle valiantly carried on by sincere, devoted men motivated by their all-inspiring DUfDOSe of God's greater glory. We, the Class of l934, acknowledge in no uncertain words, the lllU5TViOus battle which these men fought in establishing the College, and we pledge our unselfish SUPDOW and cooperation in any and all future expansion, which we trust, with God's help, will even Uulslflli the past. Greater and higher Catholic education is the end in view, and we, the products at that education, dedicate ourselves to the fulfillment of that end. Fifteen -X Qc' Fif?f?'

Collins Joseph P. Devine William J. Kane Vincent E. Flaherty Secretary President Treasurer Vice-President Class History EFORE proceeding into a lengthy recitation of the l-listory of the l93Al Class, we may as well reveal that it isn't to be a history. The title is a misnomer, used simply because it is the traditional title of the few paragraphs which are always placed before the handsome photo- graphs of the graduates. lYes, the adiective has been thoughtfully placed in the correct grammatical positionl This will not be a true history because history, in the usual sense of the term, means a story of the lives of great men, a recounting of great movements, of the evolution and advancement of civilization, and we, who are about to set forth into this cold world, have no Caesars nor Charle- magnes amongst us lor, if present, they are still a bit reticentl nor have we produced any Crusades or Revolutions. Neither can the change of some seventywfive adolescents from the blithe and irre- sponsible stage of chocolate sundae-loving youngsters to the grave and gray-beard status of college graduates be considered, even by one so biased as a class historian, as an important phase in the evolution and advancement of civilization. But to state our topic affirmatively: we shall just saunter along in a reflective, but not too serious, mood and reminisce about the four happiest years of our life, ln the good old days when we were Freshmen, lAhl what a thought'l we were naive enough to take the glowermg Sophomore: seriously, yet, at the some time, we were sufficiently inflated with our own self-importance to think that St, Joseph's College was built especially for us. Happily, by the time we were Sophomores, both of these amusing ideas had been lost' tat least, we' claim we lost' them, although we may have been freed from the latter rather gently with only a slight application of pressurel and we had awakened to the fact that we could have a grand time if we expended a little effort in our own behalf. As a result, the numerals '34 began to appear more and more frequently in the lineups of the varsity teams, on the masthead of the Hawk, on the editorial board of the Crimson and Gray, on the rolls of the Villiger Society and the Cap and Bells Club. Al' the same time, we never allowed that noble thought, to be educated and subsequently to attain a Degree, to slip completely from our minds. its reign was supreme. Of course, since we are only Thirty-five THE GREATONIAN 1934 human, the thought may have done its share of slipping. lt may have become slightly concealed for a short time, being buried beneath pressing social engagements of one kind or another. t lf your studies should seriously interfere with your social life, discontinue your scholastic pursuits accord- ingly. --Shakesbeeri But such slips on our part were hastily called to our attention by slips of another color fond kindi. They come from the Dean and are called fan mail. They are invitations to come to his office at your earliest convenience, i.e., the moment of recdlng. And so to the Dean's office you saunter in your most rapid strides. Old times are discussed fthe times you were doing so well scholastically and not sociallyl along with the future. Just a hint of the future, but, alas, how dismally it is painted! And then we suddenly see the light, we are dismissed. Seriously, upon graduation, we earnestly extend him our gratitude for those sincere, but at that time, not too pleas- ant, warnings, They have brought us successfully through many storms. During Junior, or the Vice-Presidential year, we looked at the Seniors and privately soliloquized lwhile not wondering how people ever coined phrases such as the beauty of philosophy, the simple truth, et cetera, et ceteral how we would run things next year. And then, all too soon, next year came and we discovered that, when we did try to run things, we were falling into ,the same mistakes. Not as easy as it had looked! And every once in a while we'd experience an odd, sinking feeling inside when we suddenly became aware of ourselves discussing what should be done next year. There would be no next year for us, not at St. Joseph's! To this strange internal sensation, add the feeling aroused by Psychology and you have a composite picture of the i934 Senior-and any other Senior studying Psychology anywhere. ln extra-curricular activities, l934, as we have intimated, was well represented. Many a scoop for the Hawk was dug up by an embryo reporter from the class tincidentally, we have a Win- chell in our midst, and while we're at it, a Bernie, tool and during our last year many a vigorous, yet simple, editorial demonstrated the sure touch of the clear thinking Senior. And it must be remembered that it was during our brief term upon the collegiate cosmos that the Hawk made its greatest strides. Much praise is due the ardent newspapermen amongst us who helped in this advancement, ln comparison tor is it cont'rast?l with the Hawk, the interest displayed in the Crimson and Gray, the literary publication of the College, was not so commendable. tOr was it?l l-lowever, several aspiring story-tellers, essayists and poets developed in our ranks and they made up, by the weight of their compositions, for the shyness of the rest of us, Our representation in the Cap and Bells was always large, and in Senior year, the popularity of The Tavern to play and one of George M. Cohon's finestl proved the true ability of these our actors. Hail to theml Villiger, too, must have its due, for there were some lmuch more than a fewl from this great class who liked to talk. The subject? That didn't matter. They were our oramrs, our linguistic matadors. l-lail to them! for the cynical way they always could say- Our Worthy Opponents. Of our athletes you will read much more, later in this book. ln the brief space that we have at our disposal, it suffices to say that we are proud of them. For, when the road is easily traversed, the other side is readily gained. But, when difficulties are met and overcome by a winning or losing team, when some of the games lost are really the brightest victories, we can do nought but honor them, b Socially speaking, the Class of l934 was truly collegiate, lt always thronged the affairs of the College land the affairslof several other colleges within reasonable cruising distancel. The Senior Boll was, for the thirty-fourth time, the ultimate. the Zenith, the Quintessence. We really thought it was quite nice, tWhat a let-down, eh, Edgar?l Likewise, Junior Week, the Junior Prom, the Thirty-six 1934 THE GREATONIAN Sophomore Sport Dance and the Freshman Tea Hop of the Class of l934 were the most brilliant successes of any class in the history of St. Joseph's College--until next year's class historian begins to spread his superlatives across the page, But, we shall see, we shall see. All of which may sound slightly cynical, lt isri't meant to be, for we simply refuse to take Q Class History seriously, Besides, this whole book is an illustrated history, so why should we attempt to compress it all into a few hundred words. lThe editor wouldn't let us use any picturesl But we could have been serious, although, if we had written seriously, we would necessarily have been either emotional, critical or banal, and, at twenty-one, one's emotionalism too easily becomes sentimentalism, which, in turn, would be ludicrous. Again, if we had written critically, we would still be twenty- ona, and at that age, criticism is more often caustic than critical. Our only serious alternative was banality, and at twenty-one, one strives to be different. iParcdoxical, Horace?l And so, gentle reader, we must close this History of the Class of I934, iOr did we agree to disagree on that word history ?l We must close, not because there is a lack of events and accomplishments to disclose to you, not because we lack the proper medium of expression, but because our editor has not allowed us sufficient space for a worthily extended narration. Ah! theres the rub. The editor! he's the rubiel. But human nature is that way. We must blame our troubles on somebody, so why not the editor? His shoulders are broad ihe'll be glad to hear thatl and he can take it. So adieu, gentle reader, adieu.

T' rr Seventy-two 1934 THE GREATONIAN The Ring Committee THERE are many reminders of the four short years spent in college-acquired knowledge is gratefully realized and lasting friendships are highly cherished. But, since athletic sweaters and Junior blazers lose their usefulness, photographs fade and social programs yel- low with time, all these soon become sentimentalities. The sole memento of college life, that is at once tangible and unchanging, is the ring. lt is a difficult task to choose a ring that is both appropriate to the occasion and pleasing to the student. l-lence, a Ring Committee is necessary, To each mem- ber and especially to the Chairman, Joseph A. Cornely, do we owe our thanks for their happy selection, This ring now becomes our mark of identification, whereby all alumni, present and future, will recognize us as their collegiate brothers. A sparkling stone, with its encircling band of letters, is set deeply in the face- of the ring, Each broad shank holds a picture of the tower with a monster hawk, wings spread wide, perched on the topmost spire. The class numerals and the col- lege seal appear to the right and left of each tower. Across the breast of each hawk, there flourishes a brilliantly lettered ribbon-1 ee-- mens agitat molem balancing the name of the particular school of individual graduation. Seventy-three THE GREATONIAN 1934 The Senior Ball USIC soft, music sweet, music softly sweet--fthe Senior Ball of l934! The Bellevue with age-old traditions! l-eo Reisman of world-wide recognition! Soft lights and sweet music! Memorable occasion! The Senior Ball, presented by the departing Class on Easter Monday evening, April the second, of this year, was one of the most entrancing affairs that the Col- lege ever offered. lt was preceded by months and weeks and days of intensive pub- licity with Thomas Galbally, as Chairman of an enthusiastic Committee that dared all and did all, conducting a campaign of appeal that resorted to every known device ranging from a torrent of posters to a miniature broadcasting station There were bill-boards and floaters, handbills and stickers, letters, speeches, and voices, all with the one keynote, Come to the Senior Ball l They came. Through the regal portals of the Belle- vue on that night poured a stream of immaculately dressed and stunningly gowned couples, lured from the gloom of the streets into the bewildering delights of a festooned ballroom. Soft, rhythmic notes! The lurer, Leo Reisman. The Freshmen were there, trying desperately to look blase but nervously fussing with ties that always seemed to be slipping anchor, worrying about unruly hair and exposed collar buttons. After the first half hour they ceased to care'-ethe night was too short, Came thg- Sophomores, listening with critical ear to the soft strains of the orchestras, smiling in commendaton and makina Leo Reisrnon mental notes for the future, Everyone spoke highly of Seventy- four 1934 THE GREATONIAN Reisman's music, the Sophomores added their praise of the green foliage that so generously bedecked the room. Green foliage, soothing melodies, blue eyes, and soft voices wonderful nightl One Junior so tar forgot him- self in the flood of music, the sound of laughter, the hum of voices, the exotic night and the fleeting hours as to stop aff in the middle of a melting waltz, look deep into the starry pools that met his gaze, and exclaim, lf this be life, my sweet, then let us live! For the Seniors it was the night of nights, the pin- nacle of things social. They came bearing upon their arms the most beautiful of the beautiful, as the Seniors are wont to do, and maintaining that envied calmness of exterior as they strolled about the long ballroom with the ease of past' experience, one hand resting lightly Clwirmaii upon the fair one tucked beneath their arms, their heads inclined at just the right pitch to carry on an intimate conversation in a crowded ballroom, There were laugh- ter and singing and dancing as the hours sped away, yet there were few Seniors who at least once during that evening, did not gaze about at the dancing couples and forget to laugh as the thought of never more flashed upon them.

Suffice to say they were there and waiting for that bell which was to precipitate them on their four year cascade into the hallowed waters of Alumni, Nor did they, sprawled carelessly on sward and sill, realize that they were to elect, as their President and leader, Jack Durkin, and re-elect him during the year to comeg he to be followed by Art Riordon in Junior year. l-low were these rude hopefuls to realize that, standing in their own sibilant gatherings and breathing that some air which they were breathing, were Campbell, McCusker, Bolger, McDevitt, Carney and Riley, each of whom was to achieve glory on the grid? Were these incipient philosophers ta suspect that the elongated form, stretched across a table and two chairs in the cafeteria, was that of Gooley, and those with whom he spoke, Kauffmann, Maher and Nash, who were to vie with their own sturdy limbs against those tapering ones on the cindered path of Track? Would faces tell that the swarthy and vociferous ones were Mandes and Costello, who were to assist their fellows, Lawlor, McCusker and McGonegal in subduing invading basketeers, and that the lazing Young and Mcllvaine would wield a racket for St. Joseph's with that same well-timed precision which marked the distant drives and accurate putts of Murphy and Crowley, the latter of whom was to captain that team while still a Junior? :gi iq: ig- 1:1 ,gt The Gothic ebauschoir was struck to good advantage by those Jesuits and lay professors under whom it has been the honor of these same scholars to study. Their material was ill-shaped and flint- hard, but time and care have slowly moulded remarkable ouvres that reflect the masters' glories. Among those who have been so affected predominate the McKees, the Lowerys, Carson, Bolger, Fitzpatrick and the two McFaddens, whose typing keys aided in successful editions of the school's two publications. Those who revealed this annexed culture as thespians included Rock, Bennington, Carr, McDevitt and Jones, while the debating halls reechoed the applause of the astute strategians, Carson and Connor. Nor was this trlennial era of learning a thing without its sun-bright side, for Mullen, Quinn, Pesce and their numerous cohorts were ever present to dispel any dark clouds that seemed to creep into the halls which all have loved so well, Seventy-seven THE GREATONIAN 1934 JUNIORS John J.

Spring is in swing when Bryn Mawr maidens gambol Morris dances, when the Junior President gives a loving pat to the sod around the new-planted ivy and tenderly sprinkles it so that the memory of the Junior Class may be kept green and this College ol ours may acquire old-world dignity, in a hundred years The Week begins tittingly with Mass. During the Week various sized young men go Olympic or Lupercalian and hurl discuses and jump hurdles and run miles and miles and smash handballs and toss javelins and where does it get them, you say, Well, it's a lot of fun and it's a tradition, And as every school boy knows, tradition ts always right. After these events are over, all first places having gone to Rice Krispie-eaters tAdvt l, prizes are awarded at the Dance. These consist' of gold! and silver-plated medals with a Della Robbian bas-relief of contorting athletes and the winners of them say Oh Boyl and the cxtroverts put them on watch chains and the introverts in drawers. Our entry for the Intercollegiate Play Contest is a one-acter Submerged and it is an undeviabie tradition that St. Joseph's win. This is really the best part of Junior Week- -if fun and thrills count' for anything. There are usually about six plays, providing Drama and Romance and Escape. Wm does not tighten his muscles when he hears the cool hero shout to the crool villoini You bought the Widow lvlcTaggart's property for a song, Squire Trevelyan, because you knew the railroad was angltn' for o slice o' itl What is regarded as the climax to the Week is the Blazer Ball, this year at the Philadelphifi Cricket Club There the boys, dressed in their blazers, are spotless Which is something, you will admit, There each lad hears the words l could dance with you forever and believes them, There between dances comes the scent of heather and cool grass and each Junior lad looks at the moon and says You remind me ol my mother. O Spring' O Youthl O Spring' O Yeahl And the Week passes and the Juniors pass to Exams and vacation and Seniorhood and they bicker about commerce and about free will and worry about marks and future jobs, if any, and they graduate and the cold world yawns and they forget the courts and the playing fields and the dances and-meanwhile the '35 lvy grows and sturdies, Eighty--nine THE GREATONIAN I934 The .lunior Prom. LJNIORS have two interests---their Philosophy and their Junior Prom, and they try to serve both, Indeed, it must be admitted that both have their good points. The Prom refreshes and gladclens the mind while Philosophy , . . I don't suppose, however, that it ever occurred to anyone to combine the two, I mean, to philosophize on Junior Promness would be as rare as finding a student in the library reading the Summa Theologicaf' l will not make any pretensions to undertake this some- John lvl- I-OWIOV ' what appalling work ll do not refer to the Summal. I leave that to broader minds and brains, Anyhow, it seems to me that such a dissertation would be excruciatingly and exquisitely boring, Analysis of a pleasure always kills that pleasure, in this case, the memory of it, And let me be the last to append a moral to the Junior Prom of l933. Chairman But then I cannot imagine anyone's being especially enraptured at the mere recounting of the facts that the music was George I-IalI's, the singing Loretta Lee's and the place the Bellevue-Stratford. lThere, I got that in.l So I suppose I shall have to do a little philosophizing, This, of course, is the cue to stop reading this article and immediately apply yourself to the very first thing that comes to mind. lYet, the second half of this article is better than the first, So read on, will you?l The reasons for a Junior Prom are obvious and many. So I shall have to be obvious if not many, For one thing, a dance such as the Junior Prom lets off steam, After all, the school Fathers do not all have beards nor do they expect us perpetually to be engaged in research and dilemma. For one night, one can imagine that there is nothing else in the world but gaiety and the smoke rings of dreams, Of course that isn't true, but it is one of the charms of a Prom about which one never seriously thinks. The greatest blessing of the Prom is that one never thinks there at all, And that, in itself, is a rare experience for us men of St. Joseph'sI For one night, one travels in a land of sweet ecstasy. In fact, the nar- rator becomes rhapsodic when he tries to tell it. Witness. Then, there's the girl. She must be taken out sometime, so why not have an extraordinary occasion to which to escort her. That's another reason for a Prom. I mean a girl must get rather tired of going to movies and basketball games and seeing you jump up and shout, l3oyI Did you see Koblinski make that goall Boyl I Boy, such things do not satisfy the feminine urge for Romance lspelled with a large capital Rl, I mention this aspect of it because this would be most likely to be passed over by us thoughtless males. I-lowever, do not think that when you took Clotilda to waltz you were giving her a break, The Prom was designed for her more than for you who do not need beauty lmuch less a husbandl. You probably stepped all over her silver ballroom sandals anyway, you . . . you . . . yokel, you.

FINLEY, President RALPH F, CULLINAN, Vice-President ROBERT J. WILLIAMSON, Treasurer FRANCIS J McDONALD, Secretary I-IE election of officers marked the beginning of the first year. Kent K, Finley, master of men, emerged from the mass of candidates, assumed control of the Class and established himself firmly with his rnasterly handling of the Freshman Tea Dance where his command and direction ably proved his worthiness. Again, in our second vear, Kent was placed before the Class and once more elected with an unanimous vote. We wish to express our thanks to him for all that he has done in unifying the efforts of the Class, in making possible the satisfying achievements that have come through its efforts in those affairs, small in the eyes of some, but mountainous in our own cosmos, and in giving of his time and patience unstintingly for the glories that fade not beneath the heartless scorn of the sun. With this, likewise, go our thanks to Ralph Cullinan, Robert Williamson and Francis McDonald, who shared in the labors of the President, and who must likewise share in the gratitude of the Class. ln a college that reaps the delights of high intellectual awards, the Class has done well its share in upholding tradition. It has given many men to whom are due esteem and praise for their splendid work in scholastic lines. Perhaps one, more than any other, does the Class single out for honor, a man great in his intellectual ability, Charles V. Kelly, who accomplished the seeming impossible by scoring a perfect mark in the Latin Province examination. We tender congratulations to Frank Sellinger, Charles Sibre and Francis Burke, leaders of their respective classes for the first semester of the year. Such things as these mark men. Extra-curricular activities were well represented. Dramatics took the lead with Ninety-four 1934 THE GREATONIAN the greatest numbers, Jack Durkin taking his cue as the most prominent Sophomore in the Cap and Bells Club. Besides having a leading role in the annual play, Jack was also treasurer ot the organization. Farley and Conway, though not in The Tavern, proved themselves worthy Thespians in the many one act plays throughout the year. The Vigilance Committee, more vulgarly known as Jim Scanlon's Fire Chiefs, clothed with red hats and angry determination, was the cause ot many muttered threats, many vows at vengeance, many laughs and many woes during the early part ot the year. To them was entrusted the onerous task at forming the unwieldy hearts and bodies- mostly the lattere oi the gregarious Freshmen. They applied themselves to the work with a vim and vigor that was Cro the Sophomoresl highly commendable. The Freshmen came as roaring lions, ready and willing to conquer the world and the College, The Vigilantes saw to it that they became meek as lambs, ready, and yet, unwilling to tollow the kind suggestions of the red-hatted ones. September and October found the Cat' more than popular. Possibly, the tree floor shows that were daily presented by some highly reluctant subiects had some intluence in creating this popularity, Five tat Freshmen singing Kiss Me Again -te-and no cover charge!

CROSSON, Secretary l-IE Freshman Class dates back to that memorable reception tendered it one October night by the Sophomore Class. lt was an occasion that will live long in the minds of the Class of '37. As guests of honor we were the center of attrac- tion, No details which would contribute to our fullest enjoyment of the evening was overlooked. We were sumptously fed---one cookie and a glass of grape-juice being provided for each and every one of us. Before the night drew to a close, we yearlings were given opportunities to display our talents in various forms of enter- tainment. Our singing, recitations, impromptu dancing and acrobatic feats were greeted with voluminous applause. The Sophomores became so attached to some of their younger brethren that they insisted on driving them home. Those so favored had interesting tales to relate. The activities of the Freshmen during the next few weeks were closely super- vised by the gentlemen of the red hats---the Vigilance Committee. Particular attention was evinced by this committee as to the condition of the Freshman's regalia. In a most fraternal fashion they pointed out unbecoming knots in tiesg occasionally they suggested that starching the ties would improve their appearance, Those given to forgetfulness in the matter of dinks and ties were given aids to their memories. During these days, however, the Class became more closely united. Secret meetings were held to discuss ways and means to freedom. We found strength in union, Regalia was discarded once, but donned again as the committee asserted Ninety-six 1934 THE GREATONIAN l itself, and the Class wavered. But once more, before a week had passed, we tried again. This time the regalia did not return. The growth of spirit in the Freshman Class was physically manifested in the traditional football game with the Sophomores. This was one of the outstanding events of the year from our viewpoint. After trailing for three quarters of a hard and cleanly fought game, we, the yearlings, surprised and defeated our foe with a drive that brought victory almost as the final whistle blew. lt is but a step from class-spirit to school-spirit. Many took this step by enlisting in the numerous extra-curricular activities, The literary-minded turned to The Crimson and Gray and The Hawk, some of our dramatists reached for The Cap and Bells, while still others of us sought the joys of debating in the Cireaton Society, that we might later be prepared to step into the Villiger Debating Society. But do not suppose that the Class was interested only in intellectual activi- ties. Varsity awards for football were made to a number of our men and basketball counted many Freshmen candidates. With the Easter holidays over and Spring making its debut, a call for candidates for the Freshman Baseball team was answered. From this vast wealth of hetero- geneously uniformed performers, a team was finally selected which we feel sure acquitted itself nobly in its schedule. Reminiscing over our 'first year as college men, we can find much that is pleasant. Friendships have been formed which we hope will continue through and after our college careers. lntellectually, we feel we have climbed some small notch, spiritually, we know we have not stood still. Looking ahead, we hope we may prove worthy to continue our journey into the realms of knowledge, into whose vestibule we have but entered. To the Seniors we extend our heartiest congratulations and best wishes. Ninetyvseven THE GREATONIAN 1934 Freshman Tea Dance HRISTMAS week again marked the advent at the Annual Freshman Tea Dance. This affair has long since become one of the outstanding functions of the Freshman Class, being the only recog- nized social activity sponsored by it. But aside from the social interest, the Dance fosters another aim-to render financial aid to the Jesuit Foreign Missions in the form of the whole profits realized, This year's dance proved no exception to the rule governing the success of the College affairs. The attendance, despite the inciemency of the weather-for it snowed--fulfilled all the hopes and expectations of the Committee, Phil I-lunter's Stag Club Orchestra proved amply capable of producing sweet music with the proper rhythmic breaks, The Committee must especially congratulate him on his extraordinary novelties, The decorations, due to superior management, were delightfully surprising, being designed and chosen with exceptional care and in spirit with the season. For this excellent work, the Class owes a vate ot thanks to Miss Grathan, our librarian, who acted as overseer and advisor to the decorations committee. The feature event of the afternoon was an informal spot dance contest. To Eugene Gillen and his companion, Miss Patricia Murray, go the honors. Miss Murray received a compact in recognition of her Terpsichorean proficiency while Mr. Gillen was rewarded with a tie clasp and belt buckle. The Chairman, l-larry Gerharclt, and his Committee, in the name of the Class, wish to extend their deepest gratitude to all who in any way have helped in the success of the Dance. The music, the decorations, the spot contest--all these have been individually cited as worthy of praise. But nothing has been said of those who have managed the refreshments, the publicity, the tickets. ln reparation, therefore, the Chairman would sincerely thank all. Ninety-eight 1934 THE GREATONIAN Greaton Debating Society O reason should exist that could argue against o brilliant season for Greaton. The possibilities of the Club are unlimited and its achievements are promising. Of the thirty candidates that applied for membership, the following have been retained for active debating work: Kraft, Halbeisen, Bowes, Crowley, Karl Gerhardt, Harry Gerhardt, Ferierty, Lynn, Kalbach, l-lemsley, Febrarro and Widua These men will be dealt with as groups and it is the intention of Mr. Dineen that all of them will be used in future debates. ln the only debate that has been held up to now, the Greaton team, composed of Crowley and Fenerty, dropped o close decision to the Villiger team. As to the future debates, St Joseph's Prep will be met on April seventeenth, Georgetown on the twenty-second, West Catholic and North Catholic will both be met on the twenty-third. On May the ninth occurs the Freshman prize debate, in which the four leading members of the Society will farm two teams to debate before the school. During the debating year there will be no regular team to be considered as such, three different men will be used against each l-ligh School, the purpose of the Club being that every member be given as much experience as possible. Mr. Dineen has already remarked that the material of this year is greater, both in number and in diversified talent, than that of any other. So, as we have said, the prospects are brilliant. Ninety-nine v I BROPI-lY COLLEGE PLACED in the health restoring climate of Phoenix, Arizona, staffed with Jesuit priests, Brophy College offers excellent educa- tional opportunities for those young men who would realize to the full the old ideal of a sound mind in a sound body. The College is ably supplemented by an affiliated High School supplying the majority of the students attending the higher institution. A C T I V I T E 1934 THE GREATONIAN The Academy l-IE United States has her Congressional Medal of l-lonor, Great Britain her Victoria Cross, France her Croix de Guerre and St. Joseph's College her Academy key. Each is the emblem of distinguished service anal loyalty, each the token of highest praise, each the insignia of the donor's deepest appreciation. St, Joseph's has alvvays unofficially honored those of her sons vvho have been chosen by their fellow stu- ioscpii P, pevine dents as the leaders in the various College organiza- Clt0l'mG't tions But it was her desire to recognize officially these representatives and for that reason the Academy was founded. The Academy differs from its associate organizations in that its membership is permanent and most selective, being composed only of those who are the leaders of their respective societies. Upon graduation, each member is presented with the gold key of the Society as a public aclanovvledgment of his personal qualities and in appreciation of his efforts expended in furthering the interests and prestige of his particular organization, and through that, the College as a whole. Their Alma Mater honors them because they have brought honor to her. One hunclrcfl one REVEREND JOSEPH F, X, HARRISON, SJ AB.

Devine Gerard C McEvoy Editor-in-Chief Business Manager The Hawk ONTINUING its function of reporting college current events, The Hawk, student bi-weekly, has made notable progress in the past year. The publication office was moved to more spacious quarters in the western end of the l-onergan Building. Additions made to the office equipment, and the establishment of a reference library have greatly aided the staff in preparing the paper for publication. Although still incomplete, the reference department is rapidly be- coming more comprehensive, thanks to the efforts of virtually the entire staff, The ultimate aim is to have a card-indexed system containng complete records of all extra-curricular activities, sketches of past and present members of the faculty, alumni and students. The practice of awarding by-lines for well-written stories, intro- duced by the new moderator, the Rev. Edward B, Rooney, S. J., en- couraged the staff members to do their best work. Several whose names are familiar to readers of The Hawk consistently won their by-lines. Under the direction of Mr. Leo T. Riordan, AB, '26, instructor in Journalism, the staff has been thoroughly organized and systematized With a view to future years, underclassmen have been gradually trained in the various branches of writing and editing. By this method it is hoped to avoid the inexperience often attendant upon changing the staff at the begznnsng of the school year. ln conclusion, the business staff is to be commended for its efforts, without which The Hawk could not continue its rapid advance.

Unfortunately the attitude ot students during the last tew years towards college literary magazines has not been kindly, and St, Joseph's was no exception. Let us hope that the budding authors who appeared amongst us this year continue their ettorts and that something ot a literary renaissance develops at St. Joseph's. Another happy event was the publication ot the magazine as a quarterly, instead ot six times a year as was the tormer custom, thereby giving more time tor the preparation ot contributions. A new cover was designed, the size increased, a new tormat adopted, all for the purpose at imparting a more modern appearance to the book, a need that has long existed. The new Crimson and Gray attracted much favorable comment, and it is hoped that succeeding editors will strive to further increase the vitality and influence ot the magazine, while at the same time continuing to maintain the high literary stand- ards traditional in all the previous thirty-three volumes ot the Crimson and Gray.

After all, the moment of glory on the field of play is but small compensation for the weeks of arduous labor and practice which have been spent in preparing for the contest and so, through the Varsity Club, St, Joseph's endeavors to some extent to repay those men who have so lovally added to her glory, Athough but a new organization, having been revived in l93O, the Club has already done much to consolidate and vitalize the athletic traditions of the College and through its co-operation with the Athletic Association has helped lay the firm foundations for the process of sports expansion which has already begun. Speed and Quick thinking are not the only requisites for athletic success, a feeling of good-fellowship and co-operation is also necessary, and it is in the development of this spirit, of this esprit de corps that the Varsity Club has done, and can do in the future, its best work for St, Josephs To John Kane, President of the Club, a special debt of gratitude is due for his successful manage- ment of the Club's affairs, as well as to Charlie Morris, Jim Dougherty, Joe Morrow ancl Bill l-lalpin, all of vvhorn have performed valiantly on both the field and court. May those who follow them, carry on in the same loyal and unselfish spirit.

Thus rings down the curtain on the year's finest performance, the i954 production of The Cap and Bells - George lvl. Cohan's superb vehicle of entertainment, The Tavern, St, Joseph's is proud of its Cap and Bells Club, proud of the work that they have done this year, of that which has attracted acclaim in the years gone by, of the sure success that awaits their future efforts. This year's performance has added notably to the praise that has been given the Club. Edwin Stanley, ex'O5, long a figure in College dramatics, has coached, in the years gone by, Edwin Slflflley an imposing array of talent gathered by the Cap and Bells, he Dlfffflof has directed one magnificent show after another, yet' never has he worked with greater zest, never has he produced a finer show than on the sub-zero night of February ninth, when before an astonished, laughing, applauding audience, he sent his troupe out upon the boards for the first nan-professional performance of Cohan's comedy. Before the flaring footlights lighting the interior of the inn, there waltzed four graceful Misses loaned by Mount Saint Joseph's Mask and Foil Club, there stamped a sulking Sheriff, mourning for his wife and twelve children, there walked a pompous Governor, there waddled a fat, suspicious tavern keeper, there stumbled a bellowing, hair scratching hired man, and last, and greatest of all, there stepped, and danced, and leaped, and sang, and laughed, and laughed, and laughed, the lovable, laughable, tragic, heart' stirring tool--the romantic Vagabond! l-lenry Jones, '35, was superb, to him must go the palm. Never for a moment, from the time of his entrance when he stood straight and still, ieering at death, until his dramatic exit, did he relinquish the sure, confident' touch of mastery. lt' was excellent. Yet to give credit to him alone would be to render an injustice to the supporting cast. Jones, great as he was, captivating as he was, could never on his snle merits, have made of The Tavern the tremendous success that it was. Each one played his part' well, played it with the touch of a master.

At St. Joseph's, this activity is carried on principally through the agency at the Villiger Debating Society, which besides being the oldest extra-curricular organization in the College, is always one at the most active, 'lhe season at i933-3-'l was, perhaps, the most enterprising in all Villiger's long history Six intercollegiate platform debates were held, three at home, with the University at Pennsylvania, Penn State College and Holy Crass, and three away, against Catholic University, Penn State and Canisius College. ln addition, eight intercollegiate debates were broadcast over Wl.lT, our opponents including La Salle, Swarthmore, Temple and other neighboring colleges and universities Besides the regular intercollegiate competition, Villiger presented thirty-six intra-society exhibition debates before various Knights at Columbus Councils, l-ioly Name Societies and American Legion Posts throughout the city and suburbs. As an additional means of providing public experience for the members ot the Society who are not yet of intercollegiate calibre, a debating tournament conducted on an elimination basis was inaugurated and sixteen doubles teams were entered. At this writing the victors have not yet been decided. Thomas A. Galbally President ln all, about twenty-five members of the Society were given practical experience in public speaking: nine ot the intercollegiate contests resulted in victory, one was a no-decision contest, and three were lost To Mr. Charles J. Denecke, S.J., who for the past three years has been the moderator ot the Society, we owe a debt of thanks. We take this opporutnity of expressing our sincere gratitude lar all the time and earnest etlort he has spent in sustaining and carrying on the tradition ot the Villiger Debating Society. 1 K One hundred eleven THE GREATONIAN 1934 . ,. .,,,,,... c . .. . D. Jones, J. C. Bennington, W, Kane, J. A. Belmont, N. Frignito The Sodality THE Sodality of the Blessed Virgin Mary is the great spiritual organization and the keynote of all other societies in any Jesuit College, and rightly so, for it was in a Jesuit College in Rome that this universal society, organized to spread devotion to our Lady, first came into being. The devotion of any group to the Mother of God is edifying, the devotion rendered by Catholic college men to Mary, the Queen Immaculate, is inspiring. Such an inspiration has been given the College ever since the first days of the school's existence when the pioneer students first banded together to render homage to Mary. ln l933-34, under the guidance of Father Thomas A. Fay, S. J., appointed Student Counsellor at the beginning of the school term, the Sodality at St. Joseph's attained new heights of spiritual vigor. Early in October, Father Fay called a meeting of the sodalists to elect officers for the coming year. The election resulted in William J. Kane, Jr., '34, being chosen Prefect and J. Clement Bennington, '35, First Assistant. David N. Jones, a member of the Freshman Sodality in the previous year, was appointed Second Assistant by Father Fay. This year the make-up of the sodality is somewhat different from previous years. l-leretofore, the Senior Sodality, comprising the Senior, Junior and Sophomore Classes, operated as a unit distinct from the Freshman Sodality. l-lowever, due to a conflict in class schedules, it was necessary to combine the two organizations. Meetings were held every Friday morning at 9 o'clocl4 in College l-lall, during which the members heard Mass and recited the office of the Blessed Virgin. Following Mass, a short talk on some appropriate subject was usually given by some member of the faculty or by a selected sodalist. One hundred twelve 1934 THE GREATONIAN Under the auspices of the sodality, a highly successful mite box drive was carried out during the Lenten Season in aid of Father Thomas Gallagher, a Jesuit Missionary in the Philippine Islands and an alumnus of the College. During the month of May devotions in honor of our Blessed Mother were held every day in the quadrangle. At these devotions different members of the sodality delivered short sermons, explaining some particular glory of Mary. ln the middle of May diplomas were awarded to the Senior Sodalists for faithful attendance during their four years of college life. The outstanding achievement of the Sodality during the past year was the founding and organizing of the Harvester Club. Too much credit for the founding of this organization cannot be given Father Fay, ln his zeal to carry out the wish of our Holy Father for Catholic Action, Father Fay conceived the idea of forming a club to teach religion to those who have had little or no opportunity for religious training. He applied to the Missionary Society of Philadelphia and offered the services of his club in the field of religious teaching. His offer was readily accepted and his newly organized club received the assignment of instructions at the Madonna and L'Assunta Houses to the boys who attend non-Catholic schools in the South Philadelphia district. From the outset Father Fay's plan met with success. Sodalists readily joined his organization and within a fortnight the members numbered more than thirty. From these, ten members were selected to teach at the Madonna House and fifteen more were assigned to L'Assunta House, while the remainder were listed as reserves to fill any emergency that would prevent a regular teacher from conducting his class, These classes were held every Sunday from lO A. M. to ll 1l5 A, M. After much deliberation it was finally agreed to name the newly organized society the Harvester Club. This name is particularly significant, for the instruc- tion of these young boys in the knowledge of their Maker is a gathering of God's Harvest. While the Harvester Club has been very successful during the past year, it is hoped particularly by the senior members of the club that the work will be carried on in the future years with the same zeal and fervor as it was during the past year, the year of its organization, and attain to a still greater success. lntroibo ad altare Dei One hundred thirteen I 4. . mm.: 3501 31 -'fra 4 as ' -,Mt:,:p'gm.gi.' .wi ' f L. .L--aff, 'ffm-'-i - H. . , A- 1 I, , ,V gh: ,Q K- ,- CAMPION COLLEGE PRAIRIE DU CI-IIEN, one of the oldest settlements in Wisconsin, is the home of Compion College.

KANE CAPTAIN THE GREATONIAN 1934 Football Review NE of the activities, to which St Joseph's points with pride, during the I933-3fl scholastic year, is the showing of the football team. Now, most colleges are apt to minimize a football squad, whose best efforts were two victories and a tie, as against' five defeats. The followers of the Hawks, however, remember the lean years in which only on triumph was scored ancl consider last fall a distinct advance, The eleven, students think, played fine ball at all times and showed a spirit which gives promise of better results next fall, Victims of the l-lawks were West Chester Teachers and Washington College. The deadlock was with Delaware, The losses were to Muhlenberg, Ursrnus, Susquehanna, Albright and P. M. C. Only by the latter pair were the l-lawks badly vanquished. ln the other games, the charges of Emid Thomas and Bill Morris gave a good account of themselves, bad breaks playing their part in the defeats. Particularly pleasing was the play of such newcomers as Frank McDevitt, '35 tplaying his first' college footballl, Bill l-lemsley, '37, Stan lvlancauskas, '37, Duncan Cheeseman, 37, Joe Welsh, '37, Ed Palmer, '37, Jim Auch, '37 and Al Zeldin, '37, These men, together with Cookie McCusker, '35, Johnny Pluck, 36, Frank Sellinger, '36, Nlomert' Oreszko, '36, Martie Riley, '35, Jack Bolger, '35, Jimmy Mcfuonegal, '35, Al Getson, '36 and Stu Campbell, '35, will form the nucleus of next' fall's Joe Morrow Ted Gross Cookie lVlcCuskQr End Nlanaoer End One hundred sixteen 1934 THE GREATONIAN eleven. Lost are Captain Johnny Kane, Victor Slivka, Gerry Becker, Jock Meyer, Jim Dougherty and Joe Morrow, all members of the Senior Class, Of those lost by graduation, only Kane and Slivka were regulars last season. With a few capable additions to the Freshman Class this fall, Thomas believes St. Joseph's will have a better than even break in its schedule next fall. The men listed above were awarded letters at the Greaton Club dinner to the squad. Franklin Connor, of the Senior Class, injured in the opening game of the i932 season and unable to play since, was also honored. The i933 season? St. Joseph's, O, Muhlenberg, l2. The Hawks gave signs of imminent success by their showing against the Mules. The backfield of Cameron Donato, Frank McDevitt, Jim McGonegal and Johnny- Kane performed notably before the largest crowd ever to witness a game at Muhlenberg's field. l-larrison, l-lawk center, suffered a slight skull-fracture in this game. St, Jaseph's, 7, West Chester State Teachers, 6 Jim McGonegal scored the touchdown and Cookie MCCusker converted with a drop-kick for the l-lawks' first victory.

McCusker scared. St, Joseph's, 7, Washington College, O. After a fifty-five yard march in the first period, Captain Kane scored the lone marker. He carried the ball on almost every play.

So close, you could scarcely find an advantage either way. However, the Hawks did have more chances to score, i.e., they advanced to within their foe's twenty-five yard line oftener.

From the time that Penn handed the Hawks a 38-26 defeat at the Palestra until the wind-up tilt with Baltimore, there were few highlights in the dull campaign. Games were lost by ex- ceedingly close scores to mediocre rivals because the Hawks just couldn't click at the proper moment. The best effort of Coach Fe-rguson's men came during the game with St. Francis, of Brooklyn, playing here. The New Yorkers, early season victors over St. John's, the conquerors of Villanova, were rated to beat St. Josephs by ten or more points. But the l-lawks, in that game at least, shook off their t lethargy and came out on top. The score of that tilt, 23-19, was the redeeming feature of the season. good, Bill Ferguson Discounting actual games, the highlight of the 1933-34 season was the opening of the Kenney Gymnasium at Seventeenth and Stiles Streets. Through the beneficence of a friend, the College at last was able to have a playing floor of its own. The new court is modern in every detail and has a seating capacity in excess of a thousand. Alumni of the College, witnessing the inaugural game, were startled to see such a vast change at Stiles Street, Gone is the old band-box gymnasium with its low ceiling and alcoved windows. l One hundred twenty-one THE GREATONIAN 1934 l.......W .7 - .,, , , ln its place there is a playing floor which is but six feet shorter than the Palestra, with a lighting system that is considered the best in Philadelphia. The gym has a novel score-board and an air cooling system which should prove a boon to the players during the early and late season periods, The College had already played half of its schedule when the new court was thrown open. Penn was winner in the first game of the season, the future Eastern Intercollegiate League Champions being too tall and experienced for St. Joseph's. St. Joseph's then surprised its supporters by holding a fine Catholic LJ team to a 24-2l count but toppled into very poor form against Pharmacy, although beating the Druggists, 35-26 Then followed three losses in a row, Among those defeats was another astounding reversal of form by the Hawks.

The past once gave to St. Joseph's followers all that could be asked, this year has been a time of preparation, the future will bring to the school all the glamorous victories, the great glories that once were hers. The disappointments, the discouragements, the defeats of the past will go into the limbo of forgotten things when the squad once more returns to the playing floor to plunge into the season's schedule. The men who remain from this past year, tested in the field of battle, will not be alone in the fight as, unfortunately, they have been before. New material will pour into the school to augment their efforts, a new gymnasium will bring the unmeasured benefits of playing upon o home floor, a new spirit will bring once more to St. Joseph's the long, flowing penant of proud victory where before there had been only the chilling, blinding winds of defeat. All these will come, One hundred twenty-three JOSEPH A.

For this schedule we must thank our tireless Manager, J. Ashton Belmont, through whose apt contacts these meets have been obtained. Coach Ken Smith seems worthy of the task of shaping men, of molding feet and legs, of building arms and making muscles strong. To him the men turn for advice and from him they have received it in years gone by. His is the lot of building a first rate team from virtually raw materials. But he has done it before. There are those upon whose strength the balance will depend Ken Slmlll 'W-those who have already made their names topics of corridor COC1Cll discussion with their feats of former years. Conspicuous among them are such bulwarks as Captain Joe Cornely, former Catholic I-ligh distance star who racked up no few points for his teammates during previous seasons Then, too, there are such men as Joe Gooley, George Nash, Jim Maher, Gerry Becker, and Jim Byrne, whose names have caused the lower classmen to marvel as they read in The l-lawk of prowess well displayed. Gooley has specialized in the 220 and flflO sprint events, having been rarely defeated and winning for himself unanimous approval as a pillar of the team. To him have clustered the medals of the fleet, with him the College has been able to produce several excellent relay teams, The more versatile Nash has proven his worth as a high iumper, broad jumper, pole vaulter angl hurdler extraordinary. l-le will again compete in all these events in a certainly fruitful endeavor to prove that iron men are still in existence.

He will attempt to tally many points against his future opponents with these three entries. He is earnestly hoping to make this, his last year of intercollegiate competition, one to which he may point with great pride. Byrne is a distance man, possibly the best the College has seen for some time, and he, like his colleague Becker, is planning to leave a path of glory behind him at graduation. Among the newer candidates we find Johnny Schwab, another Senior, who seems bent upon beating Byrne on the long, long trail. Considering his ability and condition it is not at all an impossibility. ln the iavelin throw, well suited to the task, is Ralph Cullinan. The Reilly brothers, Howard, the Sophomore, and Tommy, the Frosh, have promised their support in the shot and discus. A formidable array of sprinters is offered by a group of lower classmen-Sheedy, Mehan, Tucker and Raftery -some of whom have starred in past years for their high schools in this department. Bartilucci and Waldron, two Seniors, have volunteered their services during the absence of an 880 man, and, in between handball tournaments, have been seen on and around the track. Joe Noone, Basil Nichols on-:l Dougherty have strengthened Cornely's events. Farley is progressing rapidly under the dual tutelage of Coach Smith and Nash. Stryker, a high jumper, seems in- fected with Farley's malaria of loyalty and between the ,two much can be expected in the way of points. Jackie King is daily dogging Gooley in the 440. Stu Campbell and Tony Gotta are warming up for the 220 and the discus throw, Bill McLain and Tony Febbard have enlisted with Karl Gerhard for all around berths and Joe Kilgariff is once again to perform in the high and broad jumps. Smith feels certain his men will do well ond is eagerly looking forward to the opening meet, wherein he will pit his proteges against a foreign group. He is especially confident of the sprints but has also voiced prophetic hints of an undefeated season. i So much can be said about the promising material -so much and no more-nothing can be said definitely about the future. However, it is prudent that we do not underestimate our opponents. lt is true that we have stalwarts . . . but so have they . . . where we havelour Carnely or Gooley or Nash, they, too, have their dependables , . . those who must clash with our men to prove their mettle . . . those who will bow before the on- slaught of our invaders . . . and those who will return to their own school with the dangling scalps of the vanquished.

However, last year, l933, nine matches out of fourteen were won and this year, with twenty men vying for varsity positions, five of whom are veterans, the prospects are better than good. At this writing, the first match is 'still a week away. Swarthmore, Haverford, F. and M., Temple and a half dozen others are scheduled for matches during the next two months. Bob Crowley, '35, this year's captain, has always played a fine game, maintaining an average of 75. He will play the No. l position.
