Personal in that it deals only with the Senior Class and the personalities therein, exclusive in that it is not the University yearbook in its scope but purely Senior in its activity. Here at the University of San Francisco it has become a tradition for the Senior Class to publish its own book, for it is realized that the intimacy and informality that can be carried out through such a publication will be far more appreciated in years to come than will a great yearbook that deals with material and functions holding no interest for the graduate. It is small and informal, but we are proud of these characteristics. We, the editors, hope that in the years to come this book will prove the source of renewing fond friendships, recalling happy instances that crowded the short spell of our last collegiate year. If we succeed in these aims we are grateful. Dedication REV. JOHN GIAMBASTIANI, S.J. DEAN OF MEN AGOSTI, RAYMOND E.

At orientation they heard from the stage of the University Auditorium the simple, well directed words of likeable, curly headed Bill Muller, 1937 Student Body President, who said, You get out of college what you put into it. Muller's momentous words still echo in the ears of the students who sat in the Auditorium that day. How true they were. That class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty-One of the University of San Francisco numbered 185 students. Of that original number, only 116 Forty-Oners remain in the fold to receive their sheepskins after a long, hard pull through four years of tedious learning. What happened to the rest? It's the usual story. A few left to tackle the business world, some took a matrimonial step, a few transferred toother institutions, some to medical school, one left for Greece to study medicine, and not a few suffered t.k.o.'s via the report card. That's college. It is hoped that these paragraphs will serve as a chronicle of events to commemorate our past four worthy years on the fog crowned Hilltop of our campus, high above the Queen city of the West — San Francisco. The Class of Forty-One's initiation into USF activities came with the memorable brawl with the Men of Forty. Forty-Oners elected brunette and handsome Ed Dullea, from St. Ignatius, and the rugged Jan Blumquist, out of Lowell, to lead them in battle. With the score deadlocked, the Forty-Oners lost the Flag Rush, and consequently the brawl, when they knocked down the flag pole and were disqualified. Forty-One pleaded ignorance of the rules, but it still stands in the record book as a victory for the Class of Forty. The Forty-Oners did very well in the athletic column. The Frosh football team was undefeated and unscored on, the greatest ever at the Don institution. Monk Mosconi, Cliff and Dan Fisk, Fred Haley, Walt Pudoff, Sam Johnstone, Trude Spearman, Grant Hill, Bill Teles-manic, Pete and Gene Visentin carried the boys through a tough five game schedule. A tackle, Robert Taylor, was labeled another Jim Barber, but he forgot about football and school because of a badly banged up leg. Came the Spring semester of '38, and we were still Frosh, thank you. An obscure lad, named Art Zief, collected two bits from every student in the University and turned over a tidy sum to Father Rossi who wanted to start some new campus gardens, but lacked a watering system. Forty-One got it for him, and Zief was happy. Undergrads perked up at the enthusiasm of this Zief fellow. They said, That kid has spirit. Ed Dullea, class prexy, and his able committee put on the Frosh Fandango at the California Country Club. The dance chalked up a sizeable profit for the Forty-One treasury, and a good time was had by all. Nothing more of note occurred during the first year of the Forty-One Men. They were more content to feel their way around in their new experience—college. August, 1938, rolled around, and the Forty-One Men embarked on their sophomore year. Abetted by a year's experience at USF, the class was now full of vim and vigor, and bent on doing big things for this school they had grown to love. Once again the brawl, this time on the offensive however. But once again defeat — ouch! Tarantino got hit in the eye with an odorous egg, and it put him out for the count. Zief was minus a tooth after a brilliant display of open field running with a fifty pound sack in hand. Bob Rossi of the Class of '42 scaled the flag pole to grab the coveted hat, but not until he had receipted to an avalanche of eggs, melons, squash, tomatoes, grapefruit, and other common and slightly overripe and used produce. Politically, the Forty-Oners elected the shy and reticent Tony Tarantino to the office of soph president. Art Zief and Harry Katz also ran. Bill Figari, erstwhile Balboan, gave evidence to his rising popularity by easily winning the vice-prexy spot. The Forty-Oners feted the Forty-Twoers to the Frosh Reception. Trude Spearman, popular gridder from Los Angeles, chairmanned the affair, a barn dance. All said, it was the best ever frosh dance, and had the Fiesta theme in keeping with the opening of the Bay Bridge which celebration was in full swing at the time. On the gridiron, the boys developed winning ways which prompted promoter Zief to stage a Beat Hardin-Simmons Night Parade in down-town San Francisco. In dead seriousness, Zief asked Father President William Dunn to lead the parade perched on a fire engine. Zief's request has already gone down in Jesuit History. Feeling extra social minded. Boss Tarantino lead his class down to Mountain View Ranch in the Santa Cruz Mountains to partake in an all-day picnic and dinner. The weather was beautiful, so were the girls, the steaks were delicious, and a team composed of Porter, Bur-man, Dummell, and Burke won the relay swimming race. Among the notables of Forty-One, Dick Fenton and Jack O'Brien were beginning to show great potentialities in forensics; Dick Blake was doing better than alright as Foghorn Sports Editor; Rigolfi became the campus clown and the class' top gag artist; runner-up was Whitey Partmann. Thence came the famous Soph Drag of 1938. Don dances hadn't previously made too much money. Tarantino and committee smashed tradition by putting on a great social success and turned in a profitable financial statement. This, plus the already bulging treasury of the previous year, made Forty-One financial successes, and the richest class in the University. It was also at this time that black, curly headed Tom Duff, whose future is coffee, became known as the financial wizard. He could balance any set of books, and handled class finances to a tee. By this time the Class of '41 was a well knit organization, capable of promoting or doing big things for USF. Of course it had its cliques. What school hasn't? Tarantino and company numbered many adherents in the econ division; Joey Lopez and the boys from Lowell did things together; MacDonnell and Butler bossed a goodly number of chemists; Blake headed a strong independent faction that numbered many Foghorn boys; Burman and Dummel led the lads from San Francisco's famous South of Market Territory; and Stoppel, Monroe, and Diebels had a three way hold on another opposition group. But despite the cliques and countercliques, the Class of '41 pulled together. When there was work to be done, personal prejudices and friendships were forgotten, and every man stroked in unison. And that's why it was and is a great class! Came the student body elections, and to say our class did not figure prominently was an understatement. Trudie Spearman, successful chairman of President's Day nosed out Zief to take the Secretary's post. Tarantino stepped into the job of ASUSF Treasurer. The sophomore year came to a close, which meant the end of two years of R.O.T.C., and ejaculations of joy came from not a few. Little did they know that the world would turn topsy turvy, and military education would be of extreme value, a few years hence. The Fall of 1939 arrived and Forty-Oners now possessed an intangible thing called a Junior Certificate. Class elections produced likeable and capable Bill Figari as president. Also ran were that Katz fellow, and Francis De Valera” Courtney. Bill Partmann, the tow headed one, fell heir to the class veepee job. First order of business was another picnic, now an annual affair. This time at a haven near Napa called Lokoya Lodge. It was Bob and Bertha's first date, but not their last. Seventy-five Forty-Oners and their lovelies were present, as well as seven stags delivered by the Mazzera Station Wagon. There was chicken dinner that night, a round of speeches, and dancing under the stars. Around this time, there occurred a famous class meeting. Zief proposed a controversial bill which would turn the Class funds over to Father Rossi, campus garden superintendent, for a proposed Class of '41 Lawn. A bitterly contested debate followed, and invectives were thrown back and forth by the opposing factions. The bill lost by one vote, and thus '41 held on to its finances. The high junior year rolled around in due time, but not until the Dons registered their first victory over their traditional rivals from St. Mary's, 7-0. Forty-One had a definite hand in the win — a pass from Cliff Fisk to Marv Mosconi enabling the Dons to break a fourteen year drought. An earlier season tie, 13-13, with Sugar Bowl champs Santa Clara, gave the University and Forty-One its greatest gridiron year. In the spring the stage was set for Forty-One's greatest contribution to the University of San Francisco—Junior Week. The idea originated in the mind of one Joseph Rock, S.J., a professor fresh out of Boston College's faculty. He passed his idea along to Figari. He liked it, so did the class officers, and thus USF began its new tradition. On Friday night, April 12, Junior Week was inaugurated. James J. Gill was presenting the stupendous play, Cyrano de Bergerac,” and Forty-One went en masse to see the production. From the stage. Bill Ferdon, Cyrano, congratulated the Class on their newest achievement and wished them complete success. Next on the Week” was the class picnic. For the third spot, Forty-One selected Castle-wood Country Club at Pleasanton. A minor hurricane hit the spot on the day, and one of the co-eds was blown from the diving board by the elements and suffered minor injuries. In a baseball game, featured by Esposto's, Flore's, and Pete Visentin's errors, the married men (those who go steady, to you) defeated the free-lancers. LaBoyteaux, Kimbark, and Veuve bided their time on the tennis court, while Foley, Lopez, Nessier, Dullea, Clifford, and Hayden partook in the indoor sports of ping-pong and drinking cokes. On Monday night of Junior Week, Forty-One went intellectual and presented an intercollegiate debate with Stanford University. As usual, O'Brien and Fenton upheld the honor of the Jesuit education system and everyone enjoyed the debate. Tuesday evening saw a stag smoker in the University Auditorium. Joe Clerou, the Bakersfield wit, mastered the show, and Freddy Apostoli and Art Rosenbaum appeared as part of the guest program. Wednesday of Junior Week saw the celebration of USF's traditional President's Day program. In the Inter-class competition, the Class finished in fourth place. Spirit was willing, but flesh and man-power was weak. Came Saturday night, and the climax of the new tradition, the Junior Prom at Lake Merced Country Club. The dance was a terrific success from all angles, and during an intermission Pete Breceda was awarded a gold trophy, emblematic of his winning the Pacific Coast's Inter-collegiate boxing title, and for being the outstanding athlete of Forty-One. And thus a brand new tradition found its way into the chronicles of the University of San Francisco. Every Junior Class from now until memoriam will celebrate Junior Week. Forty-One can always be proud of the fact that they were the pioneers of the movement at USF. Our Junior year was nearing termination, which meant the always interesting political question was at hand — elections to Associated Students posts. Once again Forty-One did alright for itself, with a monopoly on the positions. Dick Blake, Trudie Spearman, and Tony Tarantino vied for the top spot. All three had distinguished themselves in valor and service to the University. Each one of the trio possessed the appearance, the verve, and the personality to make a worthy chief executive of the school. USFers went to the polls with the feeling, what can I lose, all three are good men. Tarantino won the coveted spot, but only after a close re-vote with Dick Blake to achieve a majority. Sports Editor Katz defeated Courtney for v.p., and Bob Burman, varsity eager, sneaked into the secretary position, whipping '42's Jack Kennedy. Forty-Oners now entered the home stretch in their race for education—their senior year. Here we noticed a bad slump in the class roster. Many had found the three years too much and dropped out to try their luck in other lines. Still others went on to a higher educational program. Favorite sons Dullea, Clifford, Zief, and Walsh moved their campus quarters to the Law School. In Senior Class elections, a platinum blonde, and future printing tycoon, Bill Partmann, moved into the president's seat, defeating Bill Figari. Kimbark was presented with the vice-president's throne and Dunleavy took over financial control. The two important posts of representatives to the Student Exec Council went to Tom Duff and Dick Blake. Senior Year was not a year for activities in the manner and speed of the previous three. Most senior attention was directed in the way of books, a worthy insurance against the possibility of failing to take a diploma on graduation day. But Forty-One did not rest on its laurels. Many of their members were instrumental in the starting of another campus tradition, the University of San Francisco Winter Festival. Trude Spearman, Bill Figari, and Ray Cicerone headed this new and startlingly different undertaking. The Grill Room and Palm Court of the Palace Hotel were transferred into a miniature circus grounds, and the Carnival and Dance so caught on with the public of San Francisco that patrons clamored for an annual Winter Festival. We could go on and on with our last year of activity, but you all know the story, and besides the pictures found in other pages will tell you a more vivid picture than we can put in mere words. During the Spring seniors turned their attention to comprehensive exams, senior thesis, oral philosophy exams, and finals, among many other things that made a perpetual cycle of worry. In many respects the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty-One is the same as the normal class in any university. They like to dance, like the competitive spirit of inter-collegiates, like to romance, like to mix with others in their clime, and love to sling the bull , talking for hours on subjects they know little about. However, this class also had its individual qualities. Blessed with an unusual amount of leaders who had imagination and initiative, the class progressed in leaps and bounds. Prime among its qualities was the mucilage-like tendency to stick together. This characteristic will not die when Forty-One is an alumnus and not an undergraduate. The Class has pledged itself, wholeheartedly, to meet once a year, if humanly possible, for a get together of reminiscing. So long, Forty-Oner. We've been great pals and fond friendships have been made over our years. But wipe that tear out of your eye. We're all going to see each other again! e Picture Story of t.
