' P U AINT MARY'S COLLEGE,CAL FCDREWCDRD Long has Saint Mary's kept faith with the Euro- pean Tradition of Culture, a tradition which is good and worthy. Through the decades, however, another tradition has gathered strength and grown as the school grew until it, too, has become an integral part of the heritage of the Saint lVlary's student. lt is the tradition that Saint Mary's is the Mother of Men. Few of great fame have come from her portals, though she has contributed her share of brilliant figures to the fields of literature, economics, and scienceg but men, in the fullest sense of the word, have come. Long lines of them had their beginning in the middle of the past century and men have con- tinued to march forth even to the present day. They have fostered the spirit which all who come here have learned to respect and in which they have sought to mold themselves. The tradition is not a thing that is written to be studied, it is a spirit, some- thing felt inthe quiet patio, the busy corridor, and on the playing field. Herein are presented but a few of the men of the past and all of the Class of l94O, a part of the innu- merable host who will some day be the old gradu- ates to a newer generation growing to manhood in the same tradition.

Tim Murphyj Victor Mc1rtineIIi CREDCD I believe that the world has an Idea behind it and that my life is more than a merely animal life. I believe that my biggest and unending business is, according to my ability and my opportunity, to champion the cause of Goodness, Beauty and Truth. I believe that the things of the spirit are more impor- tant than material things and that the man who ignores spiritual values ignores the deepest and truest things in life. ' I believe in honesty, not because it is the best policy, but because it is the will of God which ordains that I shall be fair and square with all my fellow creatures. A Ibelieve in art, literature, music, science, philosophy, and all the other forms wherein the human mind has expressed its aspirations and recorded its achievements. I believe in the European tradition of culture whereof I am the heir, and I pledge myself to live as best I may in harmony with its spirit and its aims. I believe in the sacredness of my duties as an Ameri- can citizen and honor the flag of my country as the symbol of political liberty. I believe in whatsoever things are -good, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest. Ibelieve in Saint Mary's College, Mother of Men, cmd cherish the years I have been privileged to spend in her fostering care. -Brother Leo DEDICATICN Noi organization can long endure Without loyalty and unselfishness, and Saint Maryfs is no exception. There is a group of men who have long and freely given of their time and labor that Saint Mary's might benefit. None of them has ever attended the school Which they have so long supported, but all are fa- miliar With the aims and policies of the college and eager to assist in any Way possible. They have not onlty endeavored but actually such ceededi in their attempts to foster the life and activities of the college. The scholastic functions of the school have been aided by their financial support of the Moraga Quarterly and the Brickpile. They have as- sisted the Saint Mary's College Band. They have made contributions to the library fund as Well as the scholarshipifund, and purchased equipment for the athletic department. These activities are but a few of the multitude that this organization has carried on for the betterment of the student and the college. Therefore we seek to repay in some small part the immeasurable debt which We owe to their generosity and unswerving loyalty by dedicating this, the l94O Gael, to the Saint lVlary's Club. , , . ,-,.-,7- .

To the casual reader, this outgrowth of stu- dent talent and activity may be just another journal, but to those who have edited it the history of its growth must be something quite different. Nourish- ing any seed to fruitage in the face of favorable cir- cumstances is a work that needs delicate handling, but when the seed is an idea, and the circumstances are adverse, the miracle of growth becomes doubly astounding. The good soil has again produced the good fruit: our splendid student administration, in cooperation with the-Iunior Class editorial staff, has given just another account of its many virtues. The Gael is an outgrowth, not only of individual effort, but an outgrowth of the nature of the cur- ricula to which Saint Mary's College submits all its students. The courses here, while allowing wide room for the increase of individual initiative, have as their chief and paramount function the develop- ment of informed, alert men of character. My heartiest congratulations to the student ad- ministration and to the lunior Class on the appear- ance of our year book. lts contents will prove, l believe, that men of character are already in our midst.

'40 STUDENTS ASSCCIATED STUDENTS gram of the Associated Students under the capable leadership of Thomas E. Feeney and other officers. Sales of Student Body cards reached a new high when 9570 of the Student Body purchased them. The coffers of the Student Body Were further increased by raffling four tickets to the Saint Mary's-California game. Albert Lingua, senior member of the Executive Council acted as chairman of this affair. During the football season the Student Body got behind the very successful California-Crael Bally and Dance which Was under the chairmanship of Robert Smith, senior, and Feeney. For this event, l-lelen Crlenlcovich, national women's diving cham- pion, and other aquatic stars were procured for entertainment. An innovation in regard to the University of San Francisco game was begun when the first Saint lVlary's'U. S. F. Bally in the history of the College was given. Many supper dances, were offered the Student Body. Social relations with San Francisco College for Women were established when a Supper Dance was given on the Moraga campus in November.

An idea, unprecedented in local collegiate circles, was pre- sented by Thomas Feeney to the presidents of five other Bay Region Catholic colleges-Santa Clara University, University of San Francisco, San Francisco College for Women, ,Holy Names College, and Dominican College-at a joint meeting in Novem- ber. The idea for united activity in sponsoring a joint dance re- sulted in the First Intercollegiate Catholic Formal which was held on March 30th at the Lakeside Country Club in San Francisco. Three hundred couples attended the affair. A testimonial dinner on behalf of the students was given 'to the newly appointed head coach of football, Norman Red Strader, in April. GAEI. '40 EXECUTIVE COUNCIL Engaging in many a spirited debate, the members of the Execu- tive Council for the year l939-40 displayed intense interest in governing student finances and projecting successful student affairs. This particular group may go down in the annals of Saint Mary's as an aggregation of tightfisted red hots , but it can be truly stated that every fiery argument, every earnest filibuster, every Wholehearted plea which took place in the meetings of the Council Was born out of a desire to serve their fellow students efficiently. ln accordance with the Constitution, William Spehar, Vice- President of the A.S.S.M.C., presided at the meetings and main- tained excellent parliamentary order, though at times the task was difficult. Members of the body were Arthur Williams, Albert Lingua and Alexander Latuda, seniors 5 Iohn Ryan, Walter Weber and Leo Haggerty, juniors, Horway Witteman, William Keating and Richard Herman, sophomores 5 and Iohn Wecker, lames Boock and William Craig, freshmen.

SENICR CLASS WILLIAM CUNNINGHAM President Q Reminiscing over the past fruitful year We find that the Class of 1940 played a prominent part in the social, athletic, educational and scholastic events of the year. Socially the Seniors have sponsored the successful Santa Clara Rally Dance, the Senior Sport Dance held late in the Spring, and the many activities of Senior Week. In the cultural and educational activities, the Seniors have par- ticipated whole-heartedly. Iohn Praney was appointed debate manager, and Iames Butler, Herschel Smyth, Thomas Feeney, and Lavine Bettencourt formed the nucleus of the forensic team. One of the high spots of individual achievement was attained by Peter LoBianco in the editorship of the l939 Gael. ln the field of athletics the Class contributed many outstanding names to the first string roster of football, basketball, and baseball. Gfficers for the Senior Class are William Cunningham, presi- dent, Edward McLaughlin, vice-president, Clifton Rose, secretary: Tony Lucas, treasurerg Al Lingua, Alexander Latuda, and Art Wil- liams, executive council.

Activities were directed by Nicholas Seminoff, presidentp Clifford Russell, vice- president, lames Lankas, treasurer, and Harry McLaughlin, sec- retary. Upholding the honor of the second-year men at the forensic rostrum were 1-lorway Witteman and Nicholas Seminoff. Witte- man was one of the two men chosen to represent Saint Mary's in the annual F och debate classic against the University of San Francisco. lt was also Witteman who heaped additional honors on the Class of '42 by winning the 37th annual Cottle Oratorical Contest. 1-lorway was unanimously elected Gael editor for the 1940-1941 year book. ' Able representatives of the class on the Collegian Staff were George Farnham, sports editorp Iohn Beck, news editorg and ad- vertising manager Raymond l-lenwood. Others were Garret Fox, assistant news editor, and loseph Troy, assistant circulation manager. The Sophs also contributed their share of heroes to the Gael sports world. Outstanding as casaba cavorters were Iackie Tobin, Frank Miller, and Frank Boyle. Tobin was the highest scorer on the Gael five for the seasong Miller, San Francisco boy, was acclaimed by many sports writers as the best sophomore 'guard among the bay region colleges. Cn the diamond, outstanding Sophomore Phoenix were Lee Mohr, one of the best second basemen college baseball has seen in a long time, pitcher Charles Mori, Bud Sheely, a very promising young catcher, and outfielder 1-larry McLaughlin. Gridiron lettermen were A1 Ward, Iames McPartland, and Nick Seminoff. Bouquets are especially due Ward, who lay on his back in Providence l-lospital for nearly five months with a broken leg. The injury was suffered during the game with U.S.F. on the eve of the annual Fordham football junket to New York City.

What greater Work is there, one of the early Fathers asked himself, than training the minds and forming the habits of the young? And the centuries have been slow in making answer Still, the teacher is not a great deal unlike any other Workman or artisan. His material, the minds and hearts of youth, might be of a finer stuff than the potter's clay or the builder's lumber The form he imposes, the Christ-mind, might derive from a bluer empyrean than do the thoughts and ideals of the banker or msur ance salesman. His motives might also transcend the seli-regard ing calculations of some proiiteering merchantman. But in the crux the act oi the Worker, Creator, and Christian, is the same throughout.

The Gaels held Gonzaga to minus seven yards from scrimmage and no first downs. Early in the third quarter the Gaels resorted to combined trickery and magic. From Gonzaga's six-yard line Smith charged the line, handing the ball to Guthrie who Wheeled and flipped a nifty lateral to Sims for a touchdown. A fourth quarter drive culminated in a four- yard drive to score by Heffernan. Later on a light- ning-like strike from the air, Freitas contacted Sanders for the final tally. Marefos converted.

The Gaels trotted onto Memorial field favorites the first time in three years after a hectic battle lived up to expectations. Temporarily checked on the 12-yard line in the second quarter the Bears called on Rosso who booted a placekick through the upright for 3 digits. ln the second quarter Heffernan dropped back into punt formation and flipped a pass to Ma-gnani, in the position of the vacated safety man, and gar- nered 17 yards. Whitey Smith smashed through for four. Heffer- nan rambled over left guard for nine, falling on the 12-yard stripe. The Gaels were hot.

When the play was called back for clipping all Gael hopes faded. Some say the Gaels Were overconfident, Well, anyhow, another year, another classic. PORTLAND LAVINE BETTENCOUHT.

Portland scored first on a pass from Maloney to Blount. Enzler converted. Saint Mary's raged back and scored on three plays.

The Gaels easily accounted for 344 yards to 98, and l6 first downs to l, but it Wasn't enough. Dayton scored first, it was the only chance they needed. Padley was the Flyer's hero running 57 yards and scoring soon after. Magnani repeated his kickoff returning tactics at the second half and ran the ball back 51 yards.

They gained 245 yards to the Dons 9l, lout continued to show goal line shyness once inside the twenty. The Gaels threatened five times in the first half, by air and ground. Heffernan looomed over the goal in the second quarter only to have his ex- pected score nullified. U.S.F. scored in the second quarter on a pass from Fisk to Mosconi, who rambled five yards to score.

Heffernan passed successfully 5 times out of 7 to Magnani. They were on the 22-yard line when a backfield- in-motion penalty cost them 5 yards.

Loyola scored first on what looked like a repe- tition, lout then the Gaels unleashed their fury. To enumerate: Magnani scored first and Katzmeyer converted. Bettencourt rambled 77 yards to score on an in- tercepted pass. Smith scored from 30 yards out. Magnani took a pass from Heffernan to score. Aguirre converted.

CARL KAISER Santa Clara, one of the greatest teams in the country, handed Saint Mary's two straight defeats in their series, 54-25, and 54-39. The first game was played in Kezar before 2,000 fans and the second contest was held at San lose. The first game saw the Gaels completely hapless, unable to hit or make a shot. ln the second contest Tobin managed to keep the Gaels within shouting distance of the Broncos by bagging 10 points. With a record of two losses for the season the Broncos were no doubt the better team, although in the final game they were unable to cope with Tobin or in any way check his shooting ability. CALIFGRNIA Oak Miller Snubs u Determined Bear. THOMAS FEENEY Saint lVIary's met the California cagers in a series of two games and managed to split. The first game was held before a capacity crowd at Sacramento and the Gaels passed and darted their Way to a 4l to 27 triumph. The second game was played in Berke- ley and looked to be a repetition of the first until the final ten minutes when California captured the affair 54-4l. Again diminutive Tobin managed to steal the show, getting 19 points in the last game. The first garne showed the Gaels an excellent team once their fast break began clickin-g. Feeney's pivot play was a remarkable factor as was the floor play of Boyle, Miller, Noonan, and Smith. The final contest saw the Gaels slowed by injuries. Unable to compete were Feeney, and MacPhail because of injuries. GAEL 40 U SF. PRINDIVILLE TOBIN SPEHAR The Dons met the Gaels with a strong attack and defeated them in the annual casaba series by a two-to-one margin. The first game the Gaels won by a liberal 45 to 38 score. Iinxing the Gaels in the next two contests the Dons took both, the first 39 to 43, and the second, coincidentally, 39 to 43. The final game was played in a doubleheader at Kezar gym. Stanford played Santa Clara, and Saint Mary's the Dons, before one of the largest crowds drawn in San Francisco for a basketball contest. Tobin, Miller, Noonan, and Feeney managed to keep the Gaels well represented in all the contests, especially the first game. The final games were close throughout but the consistency of the Dons once they garnered a basket was a little too strong for the Gaels. OTHER GAMES SMITH MILLER CAPTAIN NOON AN One of the highlights of the season was the Gaels 33-30 defeat of Stanford. Tobin, Feeney, and Miller working to advantage, managed to edge ahead after a 10 to 10 halftime score to win the game. Kaiser and Noonan managed to get the three winning digits seconds before the final whistle. Other games saw the Gaels go on tour, the scores: Saint lVlary's 45, Olympic Club 517 Saint 1Vlary's 32, U.O.L.A. 33, Saint Mary's 31, Utah U. 53, two games with Nevada, Saint Mary's was beaten 47-42, and 44-387 Saint lVlary's 32, Utah Agricultural 41. After the trip they played San Francisco State twice and in two close games won 48-44, and 51-50. Then in the series with Loyola, the Gaels again took two games, 39-37, and 35-30. ln the final game with the Olympic Club they were beaten 46 to 33.

By virtue of the hitting of Peterson, Tran, Mohr, and Sinnott the Phoenix won the game 4 to 3. The final game, played after two postponements, saw Maderas elce out a nonetheless convincing win 2 to l. Not until an overthrow at first base in the ninth inning did the Phoenix win. ln the series the hitting of Sinnott, Cardoza, Tran, Lingua, and Butler was excellent. ln the two close encounters the defen- sive ability of the Phoenix was the deciding factor. SANTA CLARA .- ., Y . , X Butler getting ready for the kill! SANDERS Much to the surprise of the entire C.l.B.A. this year was the rise of Santa Clara for it Was they that defeated all the league leaders. The Broncos decisively manhandled the Phoenix twice. The first game was under the Phoenix control until the seventh inning when the Broncos pressed five men across the plate. Maderas and Creech handled the pitching and allowed only nine hits but yielded 8 runs. The Phoenix on the other hand smashed out eleven hits only to lose the game, 8 to 3. The second game was almost a repetition with Santa Clara gathering l3 hits and l4 runs to the Phoenix's lil hits and 7 runs. Phoenix pitchers were Creech, Maderas, and Mori, but all were unable to quell the run-crazed Broncos. The final game saw the Phoenix win easily 4 to l behind the pitching oi Emmett O'Neill.

They could do nothing to stop the pennant- bound Gaels and dropped all three games of the series. Allowing only six hits in the first game, Maderas was supported by his team- mates who gathered l4 hits to win the game, 9 to 3. The second game was a thriller, Stanford pitched their ace Quentin Cottie Thompson against Saint lVlary's flawless Emmett O'Neill. Thomp- son allowed 5 hits, G'Neill 4, and loy virtue of the base running and hitting of Lingua, who scored both runs, the Phoenix tri- umphed 2 to U. The final game saw O'Neill hurl the league lead- ing Phoenix to a 4 to 2 win. l-fitting heroes of the Stanford series were Tran, Lingua, Sinnott, and Mohr. Catching chores for the entire series were performed by Cardoza, the most improved player of the Phoenix champions this year. GTI-IER GAMES SINNOTT CARDOZA SIMS Meeting with varied success in non-conference games the Gaels have won five and lost two. The Phoenix opened the season against the powerful Keneally Seals, a semi-pro team, using two batteries composed of Mori and Sheely, Maderas and Gardoza, the Phoenix won the game, 6 to 3. The Keneally Seals slapped out 8 hits to the Gaels lO. ' ln a non-conference game with the University of San Fran- cisco, the Phoenix had a field day by hitting safely 20 times and bringing 16 runs across the plate. U.S.l:'. hit l4 times but the excellent defense set up by the Gaels only allowed them to get 5 runs, thus the Phoenix took the game l6 to 5. Mori and Sheely were the batteries. San lose State proved to be a dogged team allowing the Phoenix only 7 hits, while they managed to get 3. However, the Saint Mary's nine passed home plate for 6 runs to win, 6 to 2. The pitching was handled by Wright, Williams, and Boyle with Cardoza and Sheely catching. GAEI. 0 CTI-IER GAMES TRAN MOHR BUTLER CREIECH San Francisco State proved to be extremely potent at the bat and what is more amazing, they hit successfully 21 times to bring in 2l runs. The Phoenix hit l3 times and brought across seven runs, making the final score look more like a football tally, 21 to 7. Williams, Boyle, Mori and Sheely and Cardoza were the batteries. The Athens Club forced the Phoenix to the limit to Win, 3 to 2. lncidentally, Norman Strader, Saint lVfary's new football coach and bush league baseballer caught for the Club. Saint Mary's gathered l5 hits to the Flying C's 9. Creech pitched to both Cardoza and Sheely during the contest. The Phoenix had another close scoring game with the Pacific Greyhound nine and only managed to win in the last inning, 4 to 3. O'Neill hurled with Cardoza and Sheely catching. Tl-lE SEASON VOGHSANG GONHLA ONEHL MNGUA Considered the best baseball team in the league by the ardent collegiate baseball fan, the Phoeni.x, as the Gael goes to press, are leading the league by a healthy margin. lt will be the second time that the Phoenix have taken the title in two years. Pre-season choice, the Pied and Blue nine fielded a team with a clocklike infield and all-around support from the outfield and pitchers. The hitting this year was superb with Glenn Sinnott leading the conference in extra bases. Lee Mohr and Al Lingua proved to be the fastest men in the C.l.B.A. and stole more bases than their opponents. Starting the season without Earl Iohnson, who advanced into the big leagues, the Phoenix were left with one first class pitcher, Emmett O'Neill, who more than lived up to expectations by not losing a game. Close behind him followed Frank Maderas, no mean footballer in his right, who carried on pitching chores with warranted success: Excellent in relief were Lynn Creech and Charley Mori, two Sophomores with great promise. GAEL 40 Tl-lE SEASCDN The great defensive infield saw Ken Sanders and Bill Wright alternate at first base, Lee Mohr, the ,sprite-like gazelle, played second base, and Captain Al Lingua covered third. Bay Tran, the dynamiter, played the best game of shortstop in the league. Bob Cardoza, the marvel, and Bud Sheely, handled the catching chores. ln the outfield vvere Charley Peterson and lack Sims at left field, Ken Butler in center field, and Glenn Sinnott in right field. Excellent substitutes were Darrell Reynolds, Harry Mc- Laughlin, Al Gonella, Ted Brandon, and Frank Boyle. At present Lee Mohr is leading the hitters With a .500 average, getting 10 hits out of 20 trips to the plate. Sinnott is second with .360, Tran 348, Cardoza .300, and Lingua .300. These averages will, Without a doubt, be much fatter before the end of the season. Too much cannot be said about this year's Phoenix team and their excellent coach, Earl Sheely. Not a team in the conference could compare with them in defense and rarely could one com- pete With their hitting prowess.

'40 FROSH FGCDTBALL This season's Freshmen are next year's varsity, and by that token, the Gaels will have a fine ball club, were the words spoken by Mal Fiese at the conclusion of the Gaelet's season. Fielding one of the best Freshman teams since l936, the Freshmen mentor has a positive reason to be proud. The Gaelets lost only two games this season, one by four points and the other by two. Playing a harder schedule then usual, an extremely active Freshman team showed ability that bids well to be heard from in the near future. They played seven games in nine weeks and scrimrnaged with the varsity throughout the season. The Gaelets opened their season against the Alhambra All- Stars in Martinez. F iese's team proved to be far superior in scor- ing 22 points to none. The following week the Gaelets traveled to Sacramento to encounter the Sacramento All-Stars which they handily defeated l3-O. The game with the University of San Francisco ended in a U-O deadlock. Both teams were hampered all evening by a sea of mud which made everything but straight power useless. Somewhat irked by their inability to defeat U.S.F. the Fresh- men traveled to San lose and vent their wrath on them 13-O. No Freshman itinerary would be complete without the trip to Los Angeles to meet Loyola in a night game. Loyola proved to be too much for the Gaelets on the score board and won l-4-l2. The statistics were far less discouraging as the Freshmen piled up nearly twice the total number of yards and first downs than their opponents. FRGSH PQGTBALL For many years the Santa Clara Colts have managed to dump the Gaelets and this year was no exception. lt was a night game and a tough one for the Gaelets to drop. The final score Was 6-O. Again the Saint Marys Freshmen had piled up a double amount of yardage and almost an egual amount of first downs. The season was concluded with Marysville lunior College, Who proved to be no match for the elusive Freshmen on a dry, fast field, and the final score was 20-U. lt is interesting to note that the Gaelets outgained and out- downed every team they encountered by a Wide margin. They outpointed every team they met with the exception of Santa Clara and lost this plaudit by virtue of one poor kick. The Frosh scored 82 points to their opponents 26, which, furthering statistics, shows that they had an average of better than ll points to their oppo- nents 4. Every back on the team had an average of two yards or better, and their passing was slightly over fifty per cent.

GAEL 40 FBCSH BASKETBALL Although this year's l:'rosh basketball team did not play as many games as those teams of other years, they did measure up to their standard. Under the able coaching of Carl Kaiser, varsity forward, they developed remarkably and produced several indi- vidual stars. Coming into their first game they were unsteady, but never- theless managed to press the excellent U.S.l:'. Frosh team. U.S.F. won the game 45 to 28. Next team to play and defeat them was the San Francisco State Freshman, this time to the score of 48 to 38. Garnering their first victory in three starts they defeated the Olympic Club B team. Diminutive Shove Noonan banged in a shot as the game ended to give the Craelets a 29 to 28 win. An- other thriller was the game the l:'rosh took from U.S.1:'. 15' rosh by the score of 32 to 31. Loomis and Parker proved to be the heroes of the game. The Gaelets swarmed over Tomales High School 50 to 9g They then proceeded to take their last three games with comparative ease, defeating Holy Bedeemer 38-35, Santa Clara Frosh 41-34, and Sacred Heart 49-28. Numeral awards were given to Loomis, Keating, Noonan, Parker, Herold, Woodhouse, and VV'hitty. Loomis led the scoring with 108 points in ten games, he was closely followed by Noonan with 80 points. These men will prove to be excellent material and reserve power for next year's varsity team. FROST-l BASEBALL Saint Mary's this season were blessed with a better than aver- age club. Under the able coaching of William Yost, senior student and ex-Phoenix star, the Gaelets have Won eight -games and dropped four. The future Phoenix started the season by playing Commerce l-ligh School. Allowing only seven scattered hits, they Won the game from Commerce 6 to 4. Wes Bailley handled the pitching chores. ln a close game with Sacred l-leart the Gaelets, behind the two-hit pitching of Keating, took the contest 5 to 4. Another game was played with Albany l-ligh School, who were disposed of easily l4 to 3, Bender pitching. McClymond's crack l-ligh School team dumped the Gaelets 3 to O, Bender again chucking. Castle- mont was disposed of by the Freshmen 4 to l With Keating pitching. A close scoring contest was played with the Santa Clara Freshmen. Bailley and Keating were forced to the limit to Win the contest 10 to 8 in the ninth inning. In a two-game series with California the Gaelets split. The first game was considered their triumph of the season. Behind the 4-hit pitching of Wes Bailley, Who struck out thirteen men, the Gaelets won a great 10 to 2 victory. The second game was played at California and they Won the game 6 to l. In the 'remaining games the Cfaelets defeated San Francisco lunior College 7 to 4, Bailley pitchingg Chico State 7 to l, Keating pitching, and they dropped contests to Oakland Tech 3 to 77 Bich- mond High 2 to 7. There are excellent prospects for the 1941 team. Most notable are Wes Bailley, an excellent hurlerg Everett Ioseph who caught every game 5 Bud Pierovich, shortstop and captain 5 and Val Quin- tana, regular outfielder. The regular sguad was composed of Mel Sattui, Ioe Paulsen, EV Ioseph, Bud Pierovich, Val Quintana, Buck Bender, Bob F outs, Ed Loomis, Noonan, and substitutes were Kipp, Scanlon, F eneran and Donnely. Pitchers were Bailley, Keating, Clancy, and Bender. I GAEI. 40 INTRAMURAL Under the able guidance of Tim Dempsey, Intramural sports manager, the participation in interclass sports this year reached an all time high in keen competition and campus interest. Tim arranged a program of football, baseball, and basketball, that claimed the active attention and aggressive nature of every class. True to the tradition that experience makes excellence, the Iunior class walked off with two championships-baseball and football. The Iunior nine waltzed through the softball campaign without a defeat. ln football it was another story, they met strong competition throughout and were pitted against an undefeated Senior team for the title. The game undoubtedly will go down in the annals as one of the greatest of all time. Trailing throughout the contest the Iuniors went into the final quarter six points in the lee. ln the fourth stanza they executed two perfect reverse passes to score and then on a baffling pass from place-kick formation they garnered the winning point. Basketball was composed of two divisions, the Bed and the Blue. The Freshman Blue team won their division and the right to meet the Senior team, Bed division champions, in the playoff. ln a two out of three series the excellent Senior team made it two straight, although the first game went into an overtime and six points separated the teams in the final contest. lnauguration of night games brought an unprecedented turnout for basketball. As the Gael goes to press plans are being made by Dempsey and Mal Fiese for the greatest track meet yet held in which last year's champions, the Iuniors, are favored. Intramural awards were given to members of the winning teams. BUCK III 1 JAMES M. SMITH, 'IO GARRETT McEN ERN EY, 'Bl HON. THOMAS E. CAMPBELL, CLIFFORD C. ANGLIM, '27 'fe SOCIAL SEASON Social activities reached a new peak in the school year of l939-40 with an all-time high of fourteen dances, the first of which was held on September 2 and was sponsored by the YMI. A sport dance, the music was ably provided by Bob Hansen and his orchestra The traditional F rosh Welcome was sponsored as usual by the Sophomore Class, with music by lack Kelly and his orchestra on September 8. The ASSMC played host to San Francisco College for Women on September 22, when a dinner-dance was sponsored in the student refectory. A Next on the program was the Gael-Gonzaga rally-dance. First rally-dance of the season, it was sponsored by the Associated Stu- dents. The date was September 29. Greatest success in the rally-dance group was the Cal rally- dance, held October 5, with Bob Smith as chairman. This was followed by the post-Cal dance, a traditional affair which was sponsored this year by the lunior Class on October 7. The Santa Clara rally-dance was sponsored by the Senior Class on October 20 with music by Bob Hansen. ln the Terrace Boom of the Hotel Fairmont, the Santa Clara post-game dance was given by the lunior Class on October 22. First formal affair of the year was the lunior Prom, held on February 3 in the Empire Room of the Hotel Sir Francis Drake. Co-chairmen of the Prom were loseph Englert and Murray Bran- nan. Featuring the music of Frankie Wells and his orchestra, the dance was one of the most successful in recent years. This was followed by the Catholic intercollegiate formal dance, first of its kind to be held in this area. lt was held at the swanky San Francisco Country Club on March 30. On April 5 the Gaels were hosts to the College of the Holy Names. Closing event of the season was the Block SM dance on April 27. A barn dance, it bids fair to become a traditional event at Saint Mary's. GAEL '40 SOCIAL SCDCIAL RRICKPILE WILLIAM MCMANUS Editor Publication of The Brickpile, a literary outlet for student thought, was resumed this semester, bringing to completion its fourth year of existence. The magazine, published monthly, was sponsored by the Fourth Estate Club and edited by William McManus. Mc- Manus, appointed by the club, was allowed to select his own staff. Members of the staff were Tim Dempsey, associate editor, Robert Iohnson, business managerg Gordon Simon, Iohn Ryan, and William Ryken, circulation managers. Financial difficulties which in former years plagued the publi- cation were solved by Robert lohnson and the magazine became a chief source of revenue for activities sponsored by the press club. Circulation spread far beyond the campus by virtue of sub- scriptions received monthly by the Saint Marys Club and the Saint Mary's Guild. The contents of the student literary venture were varied, up to the minute, and interesting. Essays on current topics, satires, poetry, short stories, and the regular feature, The Brickpile Poll of student opinion, constituted the matter of the magazine. Besides contributions by members of the staff, the columns of The Brick- pile were enlightened by the wisdom of such students as Pete LoBianco, loseph McGrath, lack Sims, Cliff Naughton, Edward McLaughlin, and Herschel Smyth. BRICKPILE The Winchell of The Brickpile, and a very competent one, was Tim Dempsey. A staunch crusader against pernicious politics in student body government as Well as a believer in credit where credit is due, Dempsey Wrote a successful and intriguing article, N othin' But. l-lis sketches on Kampus Karakters were especially enlightening as Well as humorous. McLaughlin's sketches of faculty members, Naughton's satires, short stories of Spehar, LoBianco, and McGrath, and poetical efforts of Smyth made up most of the contributions by students outside the staff. McManus, himself, Wrote the Editor's Forum article, besides several articles on life on the campus. Top Row: Iohnson, Brennan, Hetdenreich, Spehar, Gunz, Llewellyn, Smyth, Ryan, Englert. Bottom Row: Dempsey, Farnham, Naughton, McManus, Wecker, Murphy, Egan. GAEL '40 GAEL Reaching the end of a long and winding trail, the 1940 Gael stands as a monument of a full year's constant work by a staff who labored enthusiastically and faithfully under adverse cir- cumstances. lt is a culmination of a work which saw a staff settle down during the early Summer months and prepare page for page a yearbook, and diligently carry on a scheduled program throughout the year. The work was hard, it is true, and many a sleepless night was spent to meet the unavoidable difficulties which seem to be part of the experience of every yearbook, but the co-operation and interest manifested by the student body and staff dissolved the difficulties and made the work pleasant. Whatever success the Gael may have, should be attributed to the 1940 staff and the student body. ln the role of associate editor, lack Kelly proved to be an asset to the staff, finding time to lend his creative and artistic talents in between orchestra practices. Working under adverse conditions, financial success of the Gael may be attributed to Frank 1-foward, who relieved the staff of an important worry. ln his unassuming manner, Frank carried on an advertising campaign which reaped the largest financial returns of any yearbook in the past. To Tim Dempsey goes the honor of arranging a sports section which had life, variety, and color. Working under the influence of Cut it in half and make it twice as good, Tim in his inimitable manner prepared a sports section which can be surpassed by few. Credit goes to Thomas 1-leidenreich, literary editor, who always came around at the right time to lend a hand in any phase of the book. Merit must go in no small measure to Stephen Miller, photog- raphy editor. We do not hesitate to say that he did a masterful work in photography for the Gael. Steve relieved the staff of a burden by taking action and individual pictures of the athletic section, faculty, and subdivision pictures, and campus scenes. To Robert Brennan, who assumed responsibility for the in- formal photo section, and to Victor Martinelli and lim Murphy, we extend our sincere thanks for their invaluable assistance. So it is that the Gael extends its appreciation to lack, Frank, Tom, Tim, Steve, Bob, lim, and Vic for their enthusiasm and aid in makin-g the 1940 Gael a reality. GAEL WALTER CALCAGNO ..........

The Collegian weathered the usual storms under the editorial guidance of Lionel Holmes, a conservative who refers to himself as radical. Holmes was instrumental in changing the paper from six columns to eight, a notable achievement. Supplying the readers with information along the sports lines was Leo Haggerty as sports editor, with William Spehar, assistant. Until the first quarter of the year, Roger Heidenreich occupied the news editor's desk: however, demands of studies forced him to relinquish his job to George Farnham, who completed the year. Also contributing to the paper's excellence were Raymond Henwood as advertising manager, lames Murphy and loseph Troy as circulation managers, and Frank Howard and Kevin Wall, staff artists. Columnar expressions were offered by Brother Leo's Outlooks and lnsights, Thomas Heidenreich's l3ystander, Tim D'empsey's Shadowing the Gaels, and William Feneran's Collegiana. Chief campus maligner was the Moraga Muser, supposedly written by Yehudi. COLLEGIAN LIONEL HOLMES ....... LEO I-IAGGERTY ....... GEORGE FARNHAM ..... WILLIAM SPEHAR ..........

Davis, it is establishing a veritable tradition through its mainte- nance of the highest standards in its expression of Catholic thought and letters. Saint Mary's College is justified in the pride she takes in the Moraga Quarterly as the recognized outlet for the best critical thought being published in the West, and her alumni and discerning friends commend the wisdom of the administration in supporting the magazine 7 at Saint Mary's first things do come first. The articles published this year have treated a great variety of subjects, and the contributors, besides the members of the fac- ulty, have included a number of our students as well as prominent leaders in professional life. The Autumn number opened with a critical study of Peter llich Tchaikovsky by Raymond T. McGlynn, and l-larold B. Mcliinnon contributed a paper on Catholic Action and the Lawyer which has since been reprinted and distributed widely through the country. Brother Angelus, a newcomer to our faculty, was revealed as a writer of verse of delicacy and distinc- tion, and joined Brother V. Leo and Brother Victor Lucius in con- tributing poems to several numbers. Brother Iames contributed a paper on Some Thoughts on Work and William Spehar not only published an interesting article on Christian Democracy but a lightsome poem, My First Glimpse. Brother S. Edward added to the variety of the Winter number with several brief and pointed essays on Catholic Action in rhythmic prose. The faculty contributed its usual fine quality and variety to the several numbers already published this year. Brother Cyprian wrote on Blessed Robert Southwell, Professor Le Fevre con- tributed a paper on the historical background of Catholic Action, Brother Cornelius wrote on the enfant terrible of architecture, F rank Lloyd Wright. RADIG Under the guidance of Thomas Feeney and Herschel Smyth, Saint Mary's Radio Commission was revived this year. Beginning March ninth station KBOW carried a weekly series of programs on news, sports, and informal discussions by faculty members of Saint Mary's. The majority of the script writing burden fell to the capable pens of William Spehar on news and interviews, Robert Bazza- nella and Tim Dempsey on sports and sport reviews. Broadcasting news events was August Zipse, while the job of sportcasting was handled in the staccato style of lack Wecker. Clifford Naughton handled the post of MC. with the experience of a veteran. Beginning the series of interviews was Brother Alfred, followed by Brother Leo, Earl Sheely, Brother Albert, Professors Davis, Leljevre, Silva, Hagerty, Brother Angelus, and Bed Strader.

Simon. Debates on the campus, at outside colleges and universities, over the air, in the state penitentiary at San Quentin, all of them formed part and parcel of the seventy-seventh season. The varsity carried out reciprocal agreements with Cali- fornia, Stanford, Santa Clara, San lose State, College of the Pa- cific, University of San Francisco, California's Newman l-lall, the University of Washington's women's team, and San Franicsco Iunior College. And the frosh met yearling squads from the same schools. Over some twelve programs of the University Badio Debate Series, sponsored by the Columbia Broadcasting System in San Francisco, varsity speakers were presented, including Walter Calcagno, Iohn Beck, lrlorway Witteman, William Egan, Iames Butler, Thomas Feeney, and lohn F raney, in debate discussions varying from compulsory military service and a third term for Roosevelt, to the migrant labor problem in California. Likewise, the Freshman forensic squad of Iarnes Boock, Edward Crunz, lohn Wecker, William Feneran, Bobert F outs, and August Zipse broad- cast from Oakland radio station KBOW. Early features of the second semester included: a debate in favor of American economic and military isolation, against St. Thomas College of Minnesota, by Walter Calcagno and William Egan, polemics with San Quentin on the third term tradition, by lohn Franey, Lavine Bettencourt, and William Egan, an encounter with Loyola about America's position in world war and neutrality, by I-lorway Witteman and lohn F raney. Soon following was the thirty-seventh annual Cottle Oratorical Contest, in which Sophomore l-lorway Witteman, speaking on the plight of the wandering laborer, won first place from a field of contestants including Thomas Feeney, Edward Gunz, Iohn Wecker, and Iames Boock. DEBATING Mid-March saw lunior William Egan rapping the gavel in the third annual l-ligh School Debate Congress, arranged by joint efforts of the Debate Society and the A.P'.G.U. and entered by schools from all parts of California. . ' Next, lohn Franey, Charles Sill, and William Egan launched their fifteen-day, 3,500-mile debate jaunt through the Pacific North- West. About isolation, about the third term and about subsidization of athletes they argued informally with teams of the divers col- leges in Oregon and Washington, ldaho and British Columbia- ten engagements in all. Climaxing the year, moreover, is to be the forthcoming Fifth Annual Foch Medal Debate, sponsored by the Alliance Francaise in San Francisco, at which Saint lVlary's team of Weclcer and Witteman will meet the University of San Francisco.

GAEL '40 PRESS CLUB Organized by William Bettencourt, '39, after a three-year lapse the Press Club was brought back into existence this year under the name of The Fourth Estate. The organization sponsored only one campus event during the scholastic year 1939-40. This Was the highly successful California Catholic l-ligh School Press Convention. Originated by the Press Club eight years ago, the convention had been sponsored by the journalism department of the college for the last three years. The reorganized and revitalized club succeeded in procuring such Well known speakers as Albion Ross, foreign editor of the San Francisco, Evelyn Wells, author of a biography of Fremont Older, Champagne Days in San Francisco and other well known books, and Brother Leo, professor of literature at Saint Mary's, all on one program.

Continuing with their an-- nual initiation which lasted for three days, they took in a large group of new members. The Block Society handled the Catho- lic High School Championship Basketball games which areian annual feature of Saint Mary's College.
