Dean of the Faculties Foreword T, e A DIOS J3 represents something unique in the history ol the University of San Francisco. It is unique in that it establishes a precedent in the tradition of the AD I OS ... a precedent founded by this war class of 19 13-In previous days, the A1)I()S had always been something personal for the members of the Senior Class. It stood for all the spirit, the activities, the friendships formed by men united in four years of college life. But the war has wrought many changes in custom. This war class ol 19 13 may well represent the last upper division class to pass through the portals of our beloved Alma Mater. Hence, the Senior Class has extended an invitation to the members ol the Junior Class to join them in bidding adieu to college days. We soon shall take our leave to join in this light for freedom. There is a job to be done and it shall be done in the true spirit of the Fighting Dons. But wherever we may be, whatever the circumstances, we shall never forget our days here at the I lilltop and the men of the war class of 1943. A great writer once said that if a gift is worth anything it is never wholly appreciated upon reception. Only later, when its value shines through a mist of uncertainty does our gratitude exceed our attempts at description. So is it with us; looking hack now we see that these years of ours have been more than a mere college education—here was given us a way of life. Because our gratitude is a thing of the heart, our deeds, not our words will more adequately describe it. To our parents then who have given so much and ashed so little, whose self-sacrifice has made possible these golden years, we gratefully dedicate this record of achievement. John F.

GROUP WASMANN BIOLOGICAL SOCIETY The chief purpose of the Wasmann Society is to promote the biological sciences, particularly by fostering among its members a spirit of lively interest and active participation in the solution of the problems of biology. The society was established at the University of San Francisco in 1936 by the present moderator. Dr. E. L. kessel. in honor of the great Jesuit biologist. Fr. Felix Wasmann. Since that time it has taken on a national status, incorporating chapters at the University of Loyola in Chicago and the University of Loyola in Los Angeles. Bi-annually, the l S. F. chapter sponsors two scientific publications, the Wasmann Collec tor, which has an international circulation and is edited by the moderator and supported by contributions from the other chapters; and F,, whic h c irculates mainly among the Jesuit universities. The F, is edited solely by the U. S. F. chapter. Each of the other chapters have their respective publications. The Bio-Chcmical Club was founded in 1923 to provide for the organization of scientific pursuits outside of the classroom. The purpose of the Club is to promote scholarship and culture among those interested in scientific careers by offering opportunity for expression of individual achievement in selected fields of study. Candidates seeking admission must exhibit excellence in scientific studies and a willingness to cooperate with the members to forward common projects. The purpose of the Club is attained by activities which (enter around four types of meetings. I he student research conference meets fortnightly to hear the report of a member on a subject which he has developed in the laboratory or from the literature of chemistry. A general discussion and (jucstion period then follows. Two or three times a semester the Club presents a lecture by a member of the Faculty, not only from the Science departments, but also from the Arts. At other meetings, motion pictures distributed by government and private agencies are displayed. The fourth typeol meeting features lectures by prominent scientists from the various professional fields. Many of these lecturers are graduate members of the Club. BIO CHEMICAL CLUB A. S. N. GROUP PMemos of a Don Patroller By Thomas G. Com.ins THEY’RE almost over, Bill, almost over.” “Almost, fella, and you know the closer it comes to the end, the shorter our years here seem to have been.” Two Don Seniors spoke and pulled meditatively on cigarettes. They didn’t move from where they were sitting, these two Dons; but in their minds they were going on a journey into yesteryear, a yesteryear so vivid and full of happiness that it seemed like only yesterday. Back they went, back to a foggy day in 1940, when through the halls ranged a mob of freshmen who were one day destined to organize and weld themselves into the best ever on the Hilltop. Memories of those first few weeks are distressingly clear—bags of water spilling out of second story windows upon such unsuspecting heads as Bob Asselin and George Thomson. Yes, that’s the same Thomson who in a month or so is going to be throwing more than water bags at some little pinheads from the lofty cockpit of a Navy Corsair pursuit plane. The Brawl having been called off, the Sophs did their worst to make life miserable anyhow. Finally, ’44 had enough and under the leadership of such stalwarts as Leo Carew, now in the Army, Jack Blake and “Borgic” Borgonov literally laid the Sophs low in the mud of Mission San Jose at the first (and last) Brawl Picnic. After Nick Klunis and Howie Herning used their shovels to resurrect the Sophs from a watery grave, we went back to school for the Frosh Reception. Dix Kelly never has recovered the Frosh Hat he lost that night. There was a rumor that it turned up at the tail end of the Afrika Korps last month. The first ’44 class election came, and saw Bob Haag elected President, capably assisted by Bernie Higgins, George (“I Can l ake It”) Linchan, John Kearney, Jack Blake and a recruit from Massachusetts Tech—a kid named Frank McGinnis. Gee, ’44 sure learned about spirit the hard way that first football season. For the pigskin panorama that year was the most dismal in school history, but '44 didn’t let up even a little. From U. S. F. Day at the Fair, through U. S. F. Night at the Palace with Artie Shaw all the way to the last dreary ball game, they were still our Dons and we weren't letting them down. Ask Tom White and Fred Rodack; they'll tell you. That season there was born the secret of '44 spirit; built and thriving on hard knocks, ’44 was ready for whatever was to come. Whatever was to come and it did; ’44 backed the Winter Carnival at the Palace to the limit, and it was one of die finest financial successes in school history. We then turned the Midas touch toward our own Fandango. It was held at the Berkeley Country Club and it starred slender Dick English. The lamp of memory really kindles at the thought of that one. Remember the day Jeff Cravath took over as head football coach. Jeff sure made a hit with us and we were with him to a man. We believed in him and we did so, we later learned, rightfully. Things were looking way up on the Hilltop. Our first President’s Day came and went and though we lost, we showed creditably. 'The distant rumble of final exes’’ and the Frosh Picnic at Mountain View. This was Frank Clifford’s first starring vehicle. Our last day as Freshmen; we leave for the summer not only a little more worldly-wise than nine months before, but realizing now that you can have spirit in a school without ivy, and that six or seven hundred fighting hearts welded together for a common cause can get more results than 400 years of vine-clad tradition. In one short year —a lifetime of fun and fellowship. Then ’44 came back in the Fall to the dullest U. S. F. we had known. No prefootball fight—nothing. Things looked as dismal as the grey fog drifting through the arches of the church towers. George Albers really hit it: The place looks like the morning after the night before! Suddenly, like a delayed-action bomb, it hit—the Friday morning before the Bronco game. A group of dormant, listless Dons became a rollicking, defiant, snarling mob. Bring on your Prune Pickers! Well, we dropped that one and a couple more that year but for sheer fighting, driving heart that Don Varsity was tops. What a season—the Stanford touchdown tournament, the Dan Fisk Memorial at half-time of the Mississippi State game, the I.oyola trip; we came back from that one with a hangover, feathers and a conservative minimum of five empty quart bottles per man—milk, of course. No one can truthfully say that the Freshmen and Sophomores of this year competed in a formal and designated Brawl. Small skirmishes were staged, nevertheless, and in many instances the outnumbered Freshmen stood their ground and forced ’44 to take cover through the use of faintly odoriferous foodstuffs procured at a local bargain basement. Hazing was strictly taboo but one dull day a few really tough Sophs (led by Bill Antoni) captured a lowly Freshman. Divesting him of all save his red flannels, he was gaudily daubed with green and gold ’44’s. Hapless Raymond Phillips is said to be still recovering in an Army hospital from the total shock of the whole embarrassing tete-a-tete. Following the simulated brawl, class elections were held. Ed Cretnen, star Frosh football center, was chosen leader of the large class. Bill Barry, running second, was chosen Vice-President for the year. Fran Blackwell was elected Secretary-Treasurer, and Frank O’Connell and Mario Barsotti went to the post as Class Representatives. Meanwhile, in November, '44 was busily preparing for its Soph Drag. Under Bill Conroy’s leadership the dance was held at the Beresford Country Club on November 15th. Ernie Hecksher put everyone in a Hawaiian frame of mind with “Hawaiian War Chant. Hulas were reserved for the front lawn. Kanimaluna (“Bottoms Up!” was the password. Remember, gang, that fateful morning after the Mississippi State game—the morning of December 7th. The night before had been a large one, even as our heads that morning, so Dons were sleeping late. Awakening, we lazily switched on the radio, got a good band and sat down to read about the ball game. What’s this? The music stops. “We interrupt this broadcast to bring to you a special bulletin just received,” and so on. There it was—Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941. The tide in the affairs of Dons, of men everywhere, which was to change the course of so many lives. December 7th marked the farewell point to the peaceful tempo of college life—less snap courses, more looking ahead to a suddenly closer future. Symbolic of both U. S. F. and theater tradition, the Players went on in “Light-nin’,“ December 8th and outdrew Katherine Cornell, who was appearing at the Curran that night. 'File Winter Carnival made a bold and triumphant bid for restoration. It’s our last!” cried members of the student body. Every effort was expended and on February 14th, amid happy hearts and lacy valentines, the final Winter Carnival for the duration look place. Booths and concessions made the main floor of the Fairmont look like the Gayway. More than 500 couples danced to the lilting rhythms of Eddie Fitzpatrick and his orchestra. There’ll be dances in the U. S. F. of the future but it’s pretty generally agreed that the Frosh Fandango of 1942 holds the top spot. The California Country Club was crowded with Dons that night. Many Senior luminaries were present—Ed (“The Mad Russian”) Lucich, Milt Waters, now in the Army Air Corps, Tom Davidson, and many others. That dance introduced the female stag line into U. S. F.’s social life. All of this plus the “Buy a Jeep” campaign, solidly supported by ’44 and ’45, marked this as a year to remember. On April 10th, with the cadet regiment at attention, U. S. F.’s first financial contribution to the war bore fruit. Proudly we saw twenty jeeps christened (yeah, real champagne) and sent forth to battle bearing the seal of the university upon them. Caine Junior Prom Night at the Beresford Country Club. Some of us thought that swimming was in order, remember? It's still held to be a 44 man (probably Hugh McManus) who sneaked up behind some Junior and played lic-iac-toe on said Junior’s brand new white dinner jacket with a black crayon. The second Service Flag in the school’s history was dedicated on May 24th of that year. There, behind the high altar, it hangs—a stirring tribute to every I)on who even now is serving his country with the same ardor with which once he served Alma Mater. With thoughts on final “exes” and eyes on the summer before us, we learned to our dismay that there wasn’t going to be any vacation, that we were going to school for the first summer in most of our lives. We argued; the faculty listened, considered our arguments; so Monday morning we were back in class singing the proverbial “Good morning to you!” to teachers looking no less disgruntled than we. Two ’44 men found themselves in student body posts, Vice-President Frank McGinnis and Secretary John Kearney; posts that were a real problem now, for here was a new field, a pioneering attempt in student government. Actually, that summer term wasn't too bad: longer classes, thus more sleep. Frank Mahoney and Jack Taheny weren’t quite sure whether or not to attend. Then came the proclamation that this bachelor campus was to admit coeds into the sanctum sanctorum for the summer. Taheny and Mahoney ran one and two, respectively, in the race to the Registrar’s office. No sooner had some 540 students returned for this additional term than the Fog-horn once again started a campaign to buy War Bonds and Stamps. This time it was Avengers the Dons sought. Planes to take the place in formation where Don aviators once flew—Dons who had given their lives in the line of duty. Frank Fay, Una Merkel and Anne Nagel were present at the first Avenger Rally. Forty-five thousand dollars in war securities was expected by the leaders of the Foghorn. Money began flowing and rolling over the counter of the University Bookstore! Planes were being bought. Class officers once again had to be elected and Mr. Politicus began his annual tour of the campus. Dick English was given the post of President of the Junior Class. His first aide was Nello Agostini. Jim Walsh carried the trust of Secretary-Treasurer and Jack lahcny, along with Bob O’Malley, sat in at the Executive meetings as Class Representatives. Hazing was still frowned upon by the venerables of the university and yet a bit of that found its way onto the campus that summer term. The feminine element presented quite a problem in this respect. It’s a matter of record that Paul Harless had to be forcibly restrained from applying the paddle to a mysterious Miss K. Reliable rumor has it that Paul was willingly aided and abetted in this bit of frolic by two of the roughest and most hard-bitten personages ever to attend the Hill— Faz Fazackerley and Bix” Bickerdike, known to their countless admirers as the “'Touchdown Twins or the “Terrible Two. Well done, was the best description one could apply to the fine Foghorn that was put forth that summer. Among the prominent ’45 members on the staff were Dennis ( Ask Me to Sing”) Warded and Gene Murray. The warbler was also summer president of his class. Three hundred students signed up for first Red Cross Blood Plasma Drive started on the campus, on July 24th. The Avenger Drive, in its fourth week of activation, reached the sum of $2,500. Although the goal was placed at $45,000, authorities began to believe that students could, and at some time would, buy enough bonds to purchase three pursuit ships. “Boss (dll sent out on the boards of the summer playhouse one of his largest casts since he first took over Donville theatrics. The play was Broadway's smash hit, “The More the Merrier. The result was, as usual, an unqualified success, (dll is to be thanked for bringing forth the talents of a fine character actor and a grand ’44 man, Jim O’Laughlin, as well as utilizing to great advantage the “torrid torso” of a diminutive little fellow named Jim Raggio. It was in the third week of August that '45 held its Drag. The highlight of the summer social merry-go-round was augmented by the Fairmont Aquacade, starring Helen Crlenkovich. Everyone commented on the success of the affair played by Noel Thomas and his orchestra. Dons and their senoritas danced in both Ierrace and Plunge R x ms. Joe Kendrick’s bid for fame occurred with Joe playing the part of “The Mermaid Inebriate to perfection. Thus endeth the first Summer Term; a noble experiment well accomplished. After the mad round of pleasure that can come only with a three-day vacation, we were back at it again—back for our football finale grandiose. A great football season followed. 'Fhe boys missed one here and there but set a new scoring record of 221 points. Lots of ’44 men in there—men like Johnnie Sanchez, Doug Ashton and Bus Mcknight. Hilltoppers rode to the Red Cross Blood Procurement Center once again in the early part of the semester, to keep the blood of Dons flowing to service men. Two hundred of the only gang kept their dates with a needle and a pretty blonde nurse. Keeping one lesson ahead of his students, Professor Jimmy Layden began a Japanese seminar class for students interested in learning what Mr. To jo has to say concerning the price of Scotch in China. The Avenger Drive continued during this semester and Dons slapped each other on the back as we hit $28,000 on September 25th. Of course, we had to have a trip and it was a wow! This time we went to Fresno. Seen at 2:00 a.m. in front of a Fresno hostelry—Fritz Butler, now in the Army Air Corps, auctioning off pieces of the Fresno State goal posts. Holding off the weary Fres-nans who had energy enough to object were Bob Jerome and Jack (“The Wack”) Fcrregiaro. now holding down an Army guard house. A ’45’er, Julie Rice, took over editorship of the Foghorn and stuck to his guns with admirable tenacity and spirit. The Players’ vehicle that October was “The Bad Man. The cast was a natural and the show broke a leg with capacity houses all three nights. The first in-city Fandango really made the grade. Bob Riordan, Joe Kelly and Ed Hanna were among the ’45’ers chinning themselves in the vicinity of the Colonial Room that p.m. Jack McHugh, he of the wavy locks and ponderous pedal extremities, was sweeping across the floor in long, graceful strides that evening: also present (but not striding) was Walt Coyne. Lou Malvino threatened to sit in at sax with Art Rowley at the dance but was dissuaded by the more genteel Dons present (that’s right—Bob Smith.) Nick Morrisey, the down-and-going bandmaster of the St. Francis Yacht Club, played some not-so-new medleys at the Scabbard and Blade fiasco. The dance was a tremendous success, despite the dreary rain; this may be attributed directly to the fact that it was an indoor affair. The star of the December Junior Prom was Joaquin Gomez, whose interpretations of the rhumba are still the best our tired eyes have seen. He insists his partner wasn't Carmen Miranda. Class ’44 presented its Adios to the Seniors in mid-December. Professional entertainment plus a student show, narrated by Greg (“The Mouth”) Collins, formed the evening’s entertainment. A new class was welcomed into the university in the second week of February. Things began to get complicated. “Am I in the Class of ’46, ’46i £, ’47?” the new Freshmen asked themselves. In spite of the efforts of new student body President Frank McGinnis, their questions were never answered. Bill (“Live Wire”) Jennings is still said to be working on the answers. A Frosh Reception was tendered our novices on February 12th. Jack Petty and his band blew their initial U. S. F. engagement in the school auditorium. DeLorimier, Gene (“Hustler ) Whittle and Don Beechinor were mistaken for Freshmen and went temporarily insane. With the slogan, “The last wartime formal at U. S. F.,“ an ambitious committee sold out a week before the Military Ball. Location—Empire Room of the Drake; dancing and romanc ing under the baton of Conrad Peterson. Few Dons were missing from this one. Belle of the ball—home with the mumps. March 24th saw Don Blood Day No. 1 roll around. The university that knows how responded in true Don fashion. In Army trucks we went clown to where loss of blood means saving a life, not destroying it. March was a bad month in a certain sense, though, for many Dons left for the armed services, the Army and the Air Corps. Parting wasn’t such sweet sorrow when it meant goodbye to such a grand gang. Fellows like Kin Carmazzi, Dic k Dwyer, A1 Law-son, “Mush Silver, Lou Segale and A1 Dutil aren’t easily forgotten. Compulsory physical training, something strange to the curriculum of the university, was started about a week later. The problems of the average working Don were run through the mill and came out thrashed and ready solved. Muscles made their first appearance on some of the less athletically inclined of the university and cramps and stiffness were the order of the clay. Because it was seen that Juniors would not complete their Senior year, tradition was broken and for the first time in the university’s history they were allowed to purchase class rings. The Rose Room of the Palace Hotel was the scene of a highly successful Communion Breakfast on April 9th. The event brought together more than seventy Dons and their senoritas to receive Holy Communion at a Special Mass in St. Ignatius Church. Chaplain Riordan, U. S. M. C., was the guest speaker and held the rapt attention of his listeners throughout his descriptive talk of the Guadalcanal action. President’s Day was celebrated on May 7th and a small student body participated in a trac k and field day which equaled any such affair given by any size U. S. F. student body. Nothing was lacking, including a dance at the St. Francis Hotel that night, to make this day one to be remembered. The next day representatives of statewide high sc hools were present to participate in the third annual Debate and Oratory Tournament. The student judges, weary from the previous night’s festivities, managed to fend off irate parents and retreated in good order. A final Communion Breakfast was held on Mother’s Day, May 9th, sponsored by the Sodality of the university. Alfred Noyes, distinguished English poet, presented some of his poems. Academic keys were awarded to men who had proved outstanding during the past year for loyally and service to the university. Student speakers were Gerry O’Connor. Jack Blake and Greg Collins. Who will ever forget the last picnic at Rancho Hacienda? Not Larry Luchetti, who was chef for the day. He is still having frankfurter nightmares. Final exes,” as inevitable as the usual death and taxes, loomed ahead and the cram sessions were in order once again. To pass or not to pass—that was the question. Fortunately, we all answered it satisfactorily. The long-awaited Graduation Day of May 30th was at last at hand. Commencement was really the word to use, commencement of a new life and a new order to come. That night, for the last time, as Dons—orchids, soft lights and music—the Senior Exclusive. Why must nights like that end? On that night the spirit that was born three years ago, the Spirit of ’44, was reborn and rededicated to the task that lies ahead. How excitedly every man attempted to fill each wonderful moment with as much fun and reminiscence as he possibly could. And why not? For this was the last real thing left of his college life and even it would soon be another happy memory. A last three-day retreat together at El Retiro and the only gang was A. S. U. S. F. no longer. It was nice that it should end down there in the quiet hills; like a brief respite before a great task, a place for buckling on one's armor, for re-affirming one's courage and determination to face whatever lies ahead in the true tradition of a lighting Don. So Long, Gang—Good Luck! Adios, Alma Mater. NICK KLUNIS DICKS KELLY JACK FERROGIARO On the fields of friendly strife ore soivn the seeds that, upon other fields, on other days, will bear the fruits of victory. —Gen. Douglas MacArthur. “ ' 'is not always the victory gained or lost that counts, hut the comrades won in battle. The above quotation aptly describes the spirit of the San Francisco Don—a spirit inherent in every Hill topper and brought out by the close association and coinradcry of student athlete and coach, a spirit second to no other college's, a spirit that is typical of a small college yet different than any others. It is not a tangible thing but glimpses of it can be caught by looking back. The soul of the Don is seen pulsating in a wild student body surging down Market Street and committing mayhem, and in the same morning that same group turning to the Hilltop and trekking reverently to convocation and confession. It (an be seen in a surging sea of rooters’ caps rising in a tremendous tumult. It can be seen in a mud-spattered Green and Gold jersey, driving forward relentlessly. It can be seen on the bridge of a cruiser at the battle of Santa Cruz. And, yes, it can be seen on the desert of Africa in the tangled wreckage of a bomber that has accomplished its mission. I ’. S. F. victory, as was the Arizona State game, will always stand in the years to come not only as a great athletic feat but as an incentive to future Don teams. On November 11, backed by half the student body, the U. S. F. team traveled to Fresno to gain their most decisive victory of the season over a favored, undefeated (until then) Fresno State. Sheridan played the best game of his career, far overshadowing Fresno’s Jackie Fellows. Eris Jamison stood out at tackle, as did Sanchez, the Coast's best lineman. Dons will never forget lex Jucn striding to the goal with a deflected Fresno pass. It seemed he would never get there and that any moment he would be dragged down from behind. The whole rooting section strained with every stride he look. Also, remember when big Johnny Sanchez was knocked hcad-ovcr-lca-kettle by a vicious block. U. S. F. came back to Kezar to drub the Coast Guard and then hit the road on a visit to Blondy Black. The Dons heat the Kellys” in New Mexico but dropped a tough one to Mississippi Slate in a rain-swept bowl. Hill toppers will not soon forget the deeds of Willie Taylor, John Sanchez, Doug Ashton, Buster McKnight, Don Lyons, Ray Gennette, Lex Jucn, Neil Sheridan, Vic Ramus, Billy Russo, Harry Minis, Charley White, John Cavelero, Fred Shew, Hal Johnston, Eris Jamison, Eddy Cremen, Tommy Mulvihill, Tommy Canepa, Fred Rodack, Don Bower and those scintillating Freshmen—Marlin Grbovaz, Bob Madcl-lena, Hal Jensen and Fred Kleminock. Sports cMemories The present Senior Class can still remember the last of the George Malley teams, the 1940 outfit. This team consisted of the same bunch who had come in in 1936 as the greatest group of Freshmen ever to hit the Hilltop, and they were, but they were also a great disappointment. The blame for this cannot be placed at any one source but on a number of elements. The 1940 season was a dismal one but there were still flashes of brilliance and power in such standouts as the Fisk brothers, Tclesmanic, Breccda, Mosconi, Visentin, et al. Their season ended with a defeat suffered at the hands of the Red Raiders from Texas Tech by score of 22 to 21. This game saw a Don team in a futile effort to end their last season with a victory. They fought well, but when they had to call on their reserve energy and skill the answer was not enough to stem the tide of an onrushing Tech team. This final game marked the end of an era in football on the Hilltop. The following are glimpses of the next two years in U. S. F. athletic history, years which saw Cravath and Twogood come and go, which saw Needles take over the basketball team, Tassi take over the football team; which saw Fitzgerald hired as baseball mentor and a Don track team instituted under the most reputed track expert in the world, Lyman ( Dink”) Templeton. The tail end of these years also saw the departure of perhaps the greatest figure in athletic history of the university. Bob Kleckncr. Remember the first game of the ’4 1 season, the first game with Jeff Cravath as head coach? In the last quarter the Dons were trailing Santa Clara 37 to 0 when a pass, Russo to Kynoch. and a lateral to Bill Moore netted 7 points for U. S. F. Sure, this was too late and too little but it was a hint of what was to come. It was a sign that a team could score and that it had the guts to keep fighting to the final gun. Remember the very next game, against Nevada, at Seals Stadium, when Johnny Gallagher started to Hey! Hey! ? This chant has marked every U. S. F. contest since. In the third quarter of the Brigham Young game, Phil Kearney once again came in to replace Pete Franchesci and the Brigham Young guards glanced at each other with a look of dismay, as if to say: “Oh, oh, we re going to get pounded again! Remember big, sloppy Doc Haley playing the game of his life against St. Mary's? Remember that same game, when a Don rooting section stood and cheered their team to the final gun as if to say: We’re with you, gang ? And remember, after the game, when we went en masse to the locker room and screamed for Jeff, as if to say: “You’re still our ball club and we don't give a damn if you did lose. We’ll get Stanford next week ? One week later, in Stanford Stadium, the most vicious block ever thrown by a U. S. F. gridder, devastated a Stanford ball player. When a rooting section stood and applauded a badly injured Don Lyons, perhaps all were not aware exactly how Don had been hurt. It was on a Stanford kickoff. Instead of going back with the receiver and blocking for him, Lyons immediately drove forward into the Stanford team. With a ten-yard run he took off and hit Forbes of Stanford, who had been running for at least 20 yards. The following is absolute fact: Forbes went six feet into the air, came down hard to the ground, got up and ran five yards, fell, got up and ran 20 yards and fell again by the sidelines. Lyons got to his feet and stood bent over in pain until taken away in an ambulance. Those who saw that block will never forget it. Those in the Stanford rooting section will also long remember the tribute the U. S. F. students paid to that injured Don with their prolonged ovation. There were many highlights to that season—too numerous to mention—but Dons will never forget: The loquacious Mai McCarthy, the Loyola trip, Neil Sheridan’s passing in the San Jose State game, the Dan Fisk tribute in the same game and on December 6th the Mississippi State game featuring Blondy Black. An incident of that game must be told. It was after the game, in the U. S. F. locker room. The Mississippi coach was talking with Jeff Cravath. Phil Kearney walked by to the shower room and apprehended him, shook his hand and drawled in a deep voice: Boy, Ah don’t know your name but you sho’ can tote that leather. Phil smiled, mumbled “Thanks, and continued to the showers, still firm in the belief that he should have done better. Other occasions which Don athletes and students will not soon forget: “Twogie Twogood striding bac k and forth in front of the U. S. F. dugout, with bat on shoulder and a ready answer on his tongue for any heckler. V'W Ivan Marowich and John McCarthy, easy-going coaches of the rugby team. A rugby game at Cal in a quagmire of mud. “Red” McCafee, Don boxing instructor. Herman Zeiglcr’s 30-sccond knockout of a San Jose opponent. The final athletic event of last year took place on the lawn behind the handball courts when Juniors and Seniors had it out for the last time. Fall, 1942: The final year for the duration in IJ. S. F. athletic history started auspiciously with a tremendous 54-6 victory over hapless Arizona State. This marked the start of a season full of long runs, longer passes, sc intillating reverses, powerful plunges and, yes, once more heart-breaking defeats. It saw an overconfident Hilltop varsity take their worst beating at the hands of the Loyola Lions. This drubbing forced them to send a makeshift lineup into the all-important St. Mary's game on the following weekend; forced them to watch a larger, healthier Gael beat a dogged, patched-up Don in a game marked with fisticuffs and ejections of players. One week later, on Sunday afternoon, November 1, 1942, the University of San Francisco Dons gained a great victory. With but sixteen men, taped and bandaged, the Green and Gold ground the hated Prune Pickers into the turf of Kezar Stadium; they out-downed and out-fought a powerful Bronco eleven, as 30,000 people again and again roared encouragement to a fighting, charging bunch of kids. Those people will never forget Doug Ashton, his hand and arm in a nine-pound cast, driving Santa Clara linemen into their own backfield. They will never forget Neil Sheridan driving off right tackle for short gains, then passing sharply to Don Bower for five, then 10, then five again until finally he drove into the Santa Clara end zone 80 yards from his starting point. ented in the annals of Hilltop tennis history but it could be recorded as the now-hot-now-cold” squad of the decade.

Coach Jimmy Needles returned to the Hilltop this year with all the prowess lie exhibited as the Don mentor in the past. The former coach of the All-American basketball team that went to the Olympic games in Berlin, put Hilltoppers through their paces this season to emerge with the Dons’ most successful casaba endeavor in the past decade. A not yet smooth, but aggressive, Don (juintet took the season opener from the Mather Field five 25-36 and immediately the Bay area spoils scribes tagged them as the team to watch this season. Making their intercollegiate debut of the season, the Needles men dropped an exciting and hard-fouglu game to the San Jose Spartans and then caught the train for Los Angeles, where they lost two in a row to U. C. L. A. Due to a shifting in the lineups, because of the fact that the Bruins seemed like giants alongside of the diminutive Dons, taller but not so experienced men had to be used. Bay area.

An amazing University of San Francisco live upset the heavily favored California quintet to the tune of 43-36 and repeated the performance later in the season, holding the Bears to a scant 29 points. This was the first time in ten years that the Dons had put the Berkeley boys into submission twice in a row. Against the Oakland Naval Base, 145 pounds of lighting dynamite was unleashed in the person of little Mushy Silver, who throughout the entire season was the hardest Don to cover, a fact confirmed by his opponents. Bob Asselin, probably the most consistent man on the squad, captured 164 points in 21 games and got 18 of the 47 digits scored in the St. Mary's win. Never before have the basketball fans of the Bay area seen such a display of courage and fight as they did in the plucky little Don team when they played St. Mary’s Pre-Flight. Without the aid of A1 Wells, who had a knee injury, and Tiny Bussenius, with a bad leg, the Dons were behind by 12 points at half time and came back to win 42-47. In this game there were no standouts. Napalatano, Rodriquiz, Asselin, Silver. Sack, Dutil and Luchetti turned in a brilliant performance of team work and quiefc thinking when the chips were down. Silver, as game captain, really held his team together. This season there were only two teams that the U. S. F. men could not outpoint— U. C. L. A. and the Coast Guard. Both were a case of too much height for the little Dons. In the P. A. A. tournament, at the close of the season, the Hilltoppers reached the finals only to run up against the ('oast Guard again. The Green and Gold quintet entered the fracas without the services of Bussenius: Bob Asselin had a broken finger and A1 Wells had to protect his nose by wearing a football helmet. In this game the boys played like they never played before, because this was all that stood between them and Denver, to the national finals. However, the hard luck kids were overcome by height and loss of manpower and the Coast Guard won. not without Paul Napalatano outplaying All-American Jim Pollard to establish an all-time record in the P. A. A. tournaments with 22 points. All in all. with the hard luck, the armed services calling and the size of the men, the Dons fared the best they have in many years. They scored 825 points to their opponents’ 807 and won 12 and lost only 9 games. The Homage of Our Qrateful Hearts By T. G. Coi.mns STORIES first heard at a mother’s knees arc never wholly forgotten—a little spring that never quite dries up in our journey through the scorching years. 'This day when all men do special honor to their mothers and some men, such as we, arc fortunate enough to be able to present to our mothers that ineffable gift of reception of our Saviour in the Sacrament of His Love, is also appropriate for honoring that other mother of every wearer of the Green and Gold—Alma Mater. Yes, today is the day when it is fitting that we turn the homage of our grateful hearts, of which we sing in the school hymn, toward that mother who has played such a great part in bringing fullness to the lives of her sons in our years with her. Whence comes this notion of motherhood in a Don’s relation to his university? Is it, as in too many schools, reserved for football games and commencement day exercises and used primarily for building up gate receipts and increasing enrollment or is it something real, a cherished part of the life of every man who has attended the university? We who have attended know the answer. When we, as infants turning to a mother for nurture and sustenance, turned toward the Hill for intellectual nourishment and development, we received our reply. An answer which sought to set us on the road to maturity with a deep sense of moral responsibility, to strengthen that sense constantly with an intellectual conviction that would defy denial, d hus, does a Don’s Alma Mater plant within him the seeds of curiosity which lead to a seeking for the ultimate truths of life and by careful nourishment bring him to a realization of these truths as far as is humanly possible. Thus, does a Don’s Alma Mater play the role of mother to his full intellectual and moral development and becomes truly the mother of his maturity, the guiding force of every action of his manhood. How great a complementary factor is Alma Mater to a clearer understanding of and a greater love for our spiritual and natural mothers. She has shown us Mary as our protectoress. a protectoress to whom a Don may go at any time and seek and find the solace and comfort which only a mother can give. Indeed, is not this very gathering sponsored by a student organization dedicated to Our Lady and fostered by Alma Mater? loo, Alma Mater has brought anew to every son a stronger filial devotion to you, our guests, this morning. She has taught us that in all this cold and hollow world there •Speech given at all-organization mother-son breakfast. Sunday. May 9.1913 is no fount of deep, strong, deathless love save that which is enshrined within a mother’s heart. Cotdd any act be more motherly than this, more beautifully complement the spiritual and natural motherhoods? By the very fact that Alma Mater has nurtured us and moulded us to manhood, we, who must leave her soon, find our sorrow at departure, deep as it is, somewhat allayed. For, if she is truly our mother and we her sons, then we can never leave her, for we are a part of her and though we travel many miles and tread on many foreign soils, deep down inside there is a part of her that is always ours, always a part of us. This is a rejuvenating thought, a sparklet of hope in these dark days of seeming hopelessness. Wherever we arc, Alma Mater is with us, even as you, our mothers, filling our minds, our hearts, our very beings, with joyful thoughts of home amid the despair and chaos of war. A line from Milt McDowell’s letter, a simple line, testifies more than eloquence to this fact: “You, Mother, you have been with me every day; yet 1 really have not seen you. And yet, how deep our pangs of sorrow at leaving are. Gifts to Alma Mater on a specified day such as this arc impossible, for to her we cannot render the customary Mother's Day remembrances and words spoken are a poor substitute for deeds done. Rather is such a day a time for looking back to our past tributes to her and looking ahead to those of our future years. Past tributes arc easy to recall at such a gathering. So many of the contributors are here. A glance among the tables discloses them. I can see them all from where I stand, these givers, large and small, to Alma Mater’s tribute, this Mother’s Day of 1943. But even greater opportunities lie ahead for a gift to her. All of our lives can be a tribute if we live them as she has taught us to live. Yes, some of her sons have already thought that giving those lives for the things she taught were right and just, wasn’t too great a price to pay. We do not look with despairing sorrow upon their deaths. The homage of their grateful hearts has brought them unending glory in the Valhalla of eternity and everlasting memory in the great heart of their Alma Mater. Beside the magnitude of their deeds and the possibilities of future ones of our own, the little things of the past seem to pale into insignificance. But do not be deceived. her gratitude for the least of these things is as strong and all-embracing as for the greatest—for, remember always, she has a mother’s heart. The finest possible offering that we Dons can make to Alma Mater this day is to promise her that henceforth we are going to live her teachings, that we are going to accept the trials and heartbreaks that must come of this war as she would have us accept them—Thy will be done. Joyce Kilmer caught this spirit magnificently, I think, when he wrote: “Lord, Thou hast done more for me 'Than all the hosts of hind and sea; So, let me render hack again This millionth of Thy gift— AMEN. Yes, let them bomb our cities, shoot our planes out of the skies, and execute our fliers, but they cannot for their lives, these disciples of darkness, overcome that unquenchable spirit which you have given us, oh mother. This they cannot do with all of their gospels of hate, with all their weapons of war, for you have armed us with the impregnable armor of the counter-gospel of truth, which cannot and will not be denied. It is only at a mother’s knee that we could have learned these things; it is only that mother's poignant and enduring faith in us that will sec us through to truth's ultimate triumph. So, because we cannot fail, armed as we are with your love and your truth, we do not look with despair to the day of our leaving, but look ahead to the clay of our return, to that first morning of lasting peace when the sun and the dawn will light the road home to you, heralding us back into your welcoming arms, the living justifications of your teachings and faith, to live the rest of our lives in the shadow of your spires, in the blessed peace of the God whom you taught us to know, to love and to recognize as our only hope in all of this mad world. The homage of our grateful hearts, then, to you this day and all days. Stories first heard at a mother's knee are never wholly forgotten—a little spring that never quite dries up in our journey through the scorching years.

A voice from somewhere says: And don’t forget the apologies. We ignore it. Speaking for the Class of ’43, we apologize for nothing. After all. what's there to apologize for? Do we hurt somebody’s feelings? Or break a tradition? Forget it. brud. We can’t please everybody. But we just want to explain. You see, we didn’t want to make the literary part of this book a four-page meandering of memory: recalling, in a very unlit-erary way. when So-and-So did Such-and-Such and when This-or-That happened to some members of '43. We wanted to catch the spirit of 43 in this book, and we decided that we couldn’t do it that way. So we put down most of the important things that the men of '43 did. listed them by date and put them in a special section off all by itself. So don’t expect to see your name here. We feel something special for '43. If we had a class motto, wouldn’t it be something like: The old order changeth? Because that’s us. The old order. We re the last of a lot of things. In fact, we re the last of so many things that we glory in the name of the “Guinea Pig Class.” Yeah, we like it. It all started subtly enough. We didn’t realize it at first. Little things like changes in courses, experiments in the curriculum here and there that didn’t matter because we didn’t know any different or any better. Then they took the Brawl away from us. So we were the last class to have a real old-fashioned Brawl. That hurt. And it hurt more than us. Because there are men in ’43 who will tell you that their lives as Hilltoppers, as Dons, date from the afternoon of our Brawl, and that something went out of USF with the Brawls. What that something was is hard to say. because you couldn’t define it when it was here and now it isn’t here any more. Maybe there just isn’t a language to explain it. But talk about it to a Senior, and even though neither of you have the right words, he’ll know what you’re talking about. So. except for missing the Brawl, we were probably the last Sophomore class to lead a normal sophomoric existence. Looking back on it now. that appears STUDENT BODY OFFICERS How did McGinnis and Kearney ace in? FOGHORN And that was 30 for '43 ALPHA SIGMA NU The brains of the outfit as the most normal of all our time at USF. except if you want to call it the Year of Our Gridiron Disaster. Pretty bad. wasn’t it? Then our Junior Year went along great — until the war. It's funny, unless you make a conscious effort, as we did here, to recall things — it’s funny how much seems to date from December 7. There must have been a lot before that but — look back; see how long gone and done with it seems? But take the rest of our Junior year. We seem to be the last class to have a normal Junior Week in the normal time of year. We guinea-pigged again and had our smoker off the campus and gave ourselves something of a send-off and pat on the back right there, because just then we didn’t know how long we were going to be together. Well, we stuck together until now, and now it looks as if we were probably the last class even to have a smoker. It s little things like that that hurt, when you begin to think about them. In fact, this just hit us and it's a pretty awesome thought: We re the last class. Think that over for a minute. We re the last class. Until this war is over, and things return to a state where a place like USF can plan ahead for a little longer than a month, we ll be the last group to come out bearing any resemblance to the group that went in. the last group having any continuity to its university career, the last group of which you can say: Here are a hundred and twenty-five young men who have finished four years together at the University of San Francisco. They are graduating in normal and traditional ceremonies, with all the honor we can give them.’’ But in one big way are we the symbol, the living cenotaph, of the old order. We have felt it in this past year, ever since the war. We have felt—let’s face it, apologizing for nothing—out of step. We died hard. We knew or felt that there was more to be gained in college than a mere formal education, and we were determined to get it. war or no war. Not that we were slackers. You can’t look up the record of the ' Jeep Drive and the Days at the Blood Bank and our list of men in Service, and say anything like that. But that’s not what we meant. We represent a college generation that is dying or dies with us. Most of what we learned wasn't in books. After the war started we felt something different in the fellows who were coming up behind us. They mean business. They frighten us. We feel sorry for them, because of the things they missed, and then we see how they look askance at us because we BOARD OF STUDENT CONTROL Guns on the table, please SCABBARD AND BLADE I liyah. Corporal! PHILHISTOR1ANS All the time talk. talk. taik. insist on our laughing exit. They are after book learning that will help them when the chips are down, and the University is gearing itself to their needs. The frills are out. And we are the last class to realize the importance of those frills — stupid things like the Brawl, and our smoker, and standing up to yell at football games. Maybe what we represent is out for good, even after the war is over. Maybe we would be looked on as useless excrescences on the social body in the world to come. Maybe these kids are the new order. Let’s wait and see. and sigh for what they missed. Does this help to explain the guinea pigs? Well. So we go. and only this we fear. That what impress we made upon these walls Will be but too soon washed off by tides of war. For we have seen of late many of our works Pass away almost before we had begun them. We were not illustrious. We have no great. Our genius was distributed. We were a Class; We did things. We are afraid for those who follow. We are proud to think they cannot do as well. And humble to escape the odds that they must face. One gift we treasure. A sudden wealth was ours. Between the blast of war’s first trumpet call And this, our denouement, we grew to men. We had more time than those who last went out. We have resolved ourselves. They still had doubts. And we will not have too much time, as those Who will come after, with time to doubt again. In the twelve months given to us we have learned The issues, the cost and our own destiny. The first we have seen simply, in their essence. The second's set. and we’ve agreed to pay. The third’s a road that we must build To help mankind to climb another hill Over which lies — Well, that much will be yours. We have a road to build. And so we go. ST.

Senior Exclusive follows graduation. T 8 • � on to viGTom With the sounding of the final whistle, Forty-Three's Men of Sport make their trek to the showers and head for their last locker-room bull session. A retrospective glance at the record established by these men provides the observer with a glow of praise and a word of tribute. Our departing athletes are many, and their number includes not only versatility and skill, but also devotion and sacrifice rendered to the cause of Green and Gold. As is the case with all classes of the modern era, the roster of 43’s athletes finds football stars predominating. It is here that the greatest number of Hilltop gladiators have participated — have covered themselves with glory and fame. The Roll Call of senior gridders is indeed an imposing one, for it embraces such names as Vic Ramus. Billy Russo. Ray Gennette. Bus McKnight, Bill Taylor. John Cavalero. Harry Muns. Jim Tonge. Ben Petrini. Bill Moore. Clayton Coleman and Joe Connolly. These may look back upon a four-year period that saw them start their collegiate football career in the year climaxed by the Dons’ first win over the St. Mary’s Gaels; and wind it up with the highest scoring season in University of San Francisco pigskin history. The rooter will remember such highlights as Billy Russo's 83-yard scoring effort against the Santa Clara Colts in 1939; Vic Ramus’ twisting runs from the right half spot: Willie Taylor’s spectacular pass-catching accomplishments. It was Ramus who was the first member of the class to win his major block letter award; while Bill Moore netted the honor of being the only one to earn his Frosh numerals in two sports. Turning to the gymnasium, one finds the casaba contingent headed by Bill Bussenius. Tiny” led the varsity in scoring during his first two years: and this year, as captain, bids fair to turn the trick for the third time. If he does, it will be the first time that the same player has led the hoop squad for three successive seasons. Joining him on the outgoing list are A1 Wells. Don Schaer and Dick Kerwin. These have experienced the odd circumstance of playing under four separate coaches during their four years of competition. As Frosh, they performed under Bob Kleckner; their varsity campaigns came under the direction of Wally Cameron. Twogie Twogood and Jimmy Needles, respectively. Four years and four different systems of play! In the remaining bracket of sports, too, our graduating athletes have spread the fame of Green and Gold both near and far. Chic Chicourrat. Carl Mayer. Bill Moore. Bus McKnight. and Ken Tichenor. collaborated to form the nucleus of baseball clubs which were always a credit to the University. As Juniors, Keith Bridwell, Bus McKnight, and Ray Gennette. followed a brilliant season under the USF banner by being named to the Northern California All-Star rugby team. It was this crew that went on to beat all comers in their march to the national rugby crown. For the past four years, the tennis team has depended upon the Class of ’43 for its key men. Outstanding in this field were Carl “Cannonball” Mayer and Keith Bridwell. At the same time Johnny Gallagher, Bill Fahey. Joe Baumann and John Zaro were earning their circle awards in league play. The sphere of boxing finds its representatives in Bill Bussenius, Gerry O'Connor and Dave Mahoney. All showed a high degree of talent in the ring, and O'Connor and Bussenius found their way to the Intercollegiate Championships in Sacramento. Six seniors ended their soccer careers at the close of the recent season. Their teams always finished in the upper half of the conference. The most consistent performer for the shinkickers was Captain Frank Ryan who. after serving as goalie for two years, came into his own as a Senior at the center half position. His companions in the soccer swan song are Bob Griswold. Jim Gohman. Ron McLennan. Dale Cuniffe and Harry Aguirre. Bill Korn, who had been elected as co-captain for his senior year, was not able to play his last season, but his record as a Sophomore and a Junior was an impressive one. The sports picture finds its completion in a review of the work of Ray Helbig and Lyle Edson on the fairways as members of the golf team. Both played smooth, consistent games, which made them feared by their opponents. And there it is — the last round-up — the overall picture of the athletic performances of a grand bunch of athletes. Not all attained popular acclaim, but each and every one who has competed for his school has demonstrated that he has the love and admiration for his alma mater, which merits wholehearted acknowledgment and sincere appreciation. They go forth at this time to join Lacey Abbey. Dave Lavelle. Harry Mould and Paul Rivers, other athletes of 43 who have already answered the call to serve. And as they do go. all may know that their years at USF will provide them with that intangible power that makes men place their fight for a cause above all else. Their records shall be a great source of pride and glory to the institution which wishes them Godspeed in this, their toughest game!
