Rev. John F. McIntosh, S.J. Published by The Associated Students of the University of San Francisco Jj e C(r 'f Wc UNIVERSITY 'OF SAN FRANCISCO fnfr- P P I ianv PROLOGUE ft was one of those typical San Francisco mornings in the early months of 1855. The fog crept slowly across what was then but the beginning of the modern city. Father Anthony Maraschi, S.J., destined to be known and revered as the Father of Jesuit Education in San Francisco, conversed with Archbishop Joseph Sadoc Alemany, O.P., appointed two years previously as the first Archbishop of San Francisco. Jesuit tradition has it that the conversation took place in the Archbishop's office and that it centered about a request on the part of Father Maraschi that the Archbishop designate a site for a planned Jesuit College and Church. Archbishop Alemany spread out a map of San Francisco upon his desk, pondered for some time and then indicated a location where now stands the modern Emporium on Market Street—but which was then known as St. Anne's Valley, marked by sand dunes—: Anyplace out there! said the Archbishop; with these words, the story of Jesuit Education in San Francisco begins. A few months later, in July 1855, a plain one room structure erected alongside of another undistinguished building (the latter was the first St. Ignatius Church), poked its head bravely through the sand out near what is today Fourth and Market Streets. A handful of students attended classes faithfully and it seemed that nothing could stop the growth of St. Ignatius College. But financial problems arose and the doors were temporarily closed. But the college wasn't through yet. In 1862, despite numerous obstacles, a new building was constructed a short distance from the original site. The new St. Ignatius College witnessed the growth of downtown San Francisco until soon it began to look a little out of place amid nineteenth century commercial activity. In 1878, Jesuit authorities in Rome approved the purchase of a plot of land at Hayes St. and Van Ness Ave., near the present City Hall. A large college was planned to fit the needs of a growing city. Construction of a beautiful new Church and College was completed by 1880 and, by the end of the century, this sturdy Jesuit school was outstanding among the educational institutions of the Far West. The outlook was even brighter until that April day in 1906 when first earthquake and then fire razed the entire institution and left both Church and College but devastated ruins. Temporary headquarters were acquired at Hayes and Shrader Sts., out near Golden Gate Park, and the Jesuit Fathers began the difficult task of reconstructing the former glory of both Church and College. A new St. Ignatius Church (the present) was dedicated on our Hilltop in 1914 but it was not until 1927 that, with the dedication of our present Liberal Arts Building, the College ascended Ignatian Heights and a new era began. Diamond Jubilee celebrations in 1930 saw the venerable institution changing its name to the University of San Francisco as it, quite appropriately, took the name of the city with which it had grown. A. M. D. G 1903 To the Reverend John Peter Mootz, S.J., who this year celebrates his Golden Jubilee as a member of the Society of Jesus and who, for the past twenty-three years, has rendered steady and unsung service as a member of the University’s faculty, we dedicate this issue of THE DON. Ad multos annos! 1953 The task of establishing a church and college in San Francisco in the early fifties called for maturity and judgment, since the selection of a site was of paramount importance. The man marked out to begin the work was Father Maraschi, S.J. A choice of location was made between Fourth and Filth Streets in i a narrow sand hill depression, dignified with the name of St. Ann's Valley. The First Hall Century Joseph W. Riordan, S.J. cA FR. WILLIAM J. DUNNE. S.J. PRESIDENT Gentlemen: A first casual glance at a student Year Book or Annual reveals a series of pictures—class groups, dances, rallies, student officers, military units, religious activities, fellow-classmen, faculty personnel, academic and social club groups. For the present, such a book is a conversation piece, the object of friendly criticism of pictures, laughing reminiscences of events recalled, and all the other normal reactions of young hearty men. But what is this Annual? It is a pictorial account of one year in an American Catholic University. It is a series of apparently un-related events which, when reviewed, become the record of a year. More important, however, will be your reaction ten years hence when you pause to glance through these pages and the once un-related events of a school year coalesce and give reason to your stature as a man. For these once-scattered events have, without your knowledge, made of you a whole man. All of these facets will have had a share in forming you as a lawyer, a teacher, a business man, a scientist, a doctor, a provident father, a devoted husband, a loyal citizen. These casual day-by day events all will have had a function in preparing you as a citizen for two worlds. This Annual, therefore, is more than a book of memories. It is a pictorial prophecy of the Alumni of tomorrow the men your Alma Mater has moulded and the years have matured. God bless the Class of '53. Very sincerely yours, William J. Diifme, S.J.

Counselling and Guidance COUNSELLING AND The Counselling and Guidance Center again this year provided invaluable aid to students in selecting their majors and planning their courses. This service, headed by Rev. Ralph Tichenor, S.J., is now in its fourth year and an integral part of the University's program. Help to students is not ended with registration, however, for each undergraduate is assigned an advisor with whom he must check periodically with regard to his studies, and whom he can turn to whenever he encounters any difficulty in his curriculum. Augustine P. Donoghuo. Director of Admissions GUIDANCE CENTER Besides actual academic planning, the Center provides a battery of tests, based on achievement, ability, personality and preference, which enable students to choose a vocation to which they are most suited. An interesting sidelight was the aptitude test given all Catholic high school Juniors and Seniors in the Bay Area, as a means of enabling them to plan for college and careers. It is indicative of the ever-widening services provided by USF's Counselling and Guidance Center. Fr. James Duffy. S.J.. Chaplain Fr. Richard J. Scannoll Head, Religion Dept. Lower right: Fr.

Thereafter, through the following two semesters, they did an outstanding job of governing the Associated Students through a successful year. Frank Riley was our Student Body President.

Recording Secretary Bob Ainslie Chairman of B.S.C. gave his personality to the student body and they loved it. Key figure behind each social activity was Dominic Tarantino. Lcok at the social activities—immense and numerous. They were organized by the capable, dynamic Don, Student Body Vice-President. •“Go see Al was the answer given if you wanted to appropriate funds for a student activity. And if you did, you had an excellent reason because Al Baggiani “double-entried and accounted for every cent released from the student treasury. Clubs and Organizations had grown lax in previous months. Jerry Desmond did an outstanding job in his dual role as Recording Secretary and Chairman of Clubs and Organizations by coordinating the Clubs and circulating their activity. Rick Arrelano as Corresponding Secretary provided us with mixers with every bay area girls' college and their overwhelming success was measured by the number of invitations that USF received from these schools in return. Bob Ainslie, husky B.S.C. Chairman, brought this organization to formerly unrealized heights. Chief among his contributions was the Courts and Boards, where students could appeal fines. The work of Bill Kern, N.F.C.C.S. representative, culminated as the ever-popular Senior gathered a representative throng for the Annual Mary's Hour. Finally, there was Joe Erlach, our athletic yell leader, who could outjump any other in the state. Joe had an eye open to spark school spirit at any function. Rick Arellano A.S.U.S.F.

Chairman Bob Ainslie. N.F.C.C.S. Representative Bill Kern, Foghorn Representative Dick Nachtsheim, Senior President Ted Demos and representatives Ed Hurley and Gene Bertorelli, Junior President Rich Holl and representatives Ed Antognoli and Phil O'Connor, Sophomore President John Castagnetto and representatives Paul Collins and Ray Healy and Freshman President Ray Perkins and representatives Angelo Devincenzi and Frank Noonan. The group had students from almost every department in the University provided legislation by which the student body was ruled. Besides all the serious discussions and motions, there were gay moments, such as the day that Student Body President Frank Riley was supposed to judge a beauty contest at a local college. With tongue in cheek” the council provided one of the longest filibusters in its history. But most of the time the Execs were concerned with serious problems, keeping in mind at all times the interests of even the most insignificant student or organization. Bob Ainslie Chairman, B.S.C. The prime function of the Board of Student Control is to enforce the Constitution of the Associated Students. It is the law-enforcement body of the University. During the past year, students got to know the BSC and its strict disciplinary measures. Whenever they had parked a car illegally, a pink slip notified them that a fine was due. At the monthly First Friday Convocations and at the student retreat, it was the BSC whose members stood at the doors of Saint Ignatius Church to check in the student body. And whenever a student missed one of these exercises, it was to the BSC that he paid his dollar fine. The Freshman class will remember the BSC, perhaps more than any other class. For during the first L. to R.. standing: Gary Altamirano, Dave Devinscenzi, Bill Appetini, Bob Ainslie. Maurice Beatty, Phil Lum, John Cavanagh; kneeling. Ed Hurley. two weeks of their life here oa the Hilltop, when strict regulations were vigorously enforced for them. Board members were seen at all times and places asking for recitals of the Victory Song or a yell. They made sure that each Freshman wore his dink while on the campus and were always willing to give him another if he lost it. The BSC consists of the President of the ASUSF and three members each from the Senior and Junior classes.- They hold their meetings once a week in the Loyola Lodge to discuss the enforcement of the school policies. Barney Blackmore began the year as Chairman. Bob Ainslie took over this position last December when Barney was drafted. Phil Lum served as Secretary-Treasurer. On Wednesday, April 18, 1906 at 5:12 a. m., San Francisco was visited by a terrible earthquake which lasted about forty-eight seconds. St. Ignatius, at that time, seemed safe. About 11:00 a. m., on that same morning, a woman living on the corner of Hayes and Gough Streets, not realizing the broken condition of her chimney, lighted a fire in her kitchen. —The Monitor, May 12, 1906. The flying embers first set fire to the outhouses in our unused lot on the West side of the Church ... It was impossible to stop the fire so we gave attention to carrying out the vestments. Father Henry Whittle, S.J. Father Minister's Diary. (0 3,HIB Phil O'Connor Editor While most of us were enjoying social activities or cramming for exams, Editor Phil O'Connor was thinking about the YEARBOOK. There were many problems to be solved and Phil was the man to solve them. Many think that an editor's job is all glory and fun, yet this is far from being true. Although others helped to produce this book, most of the work was done by Phil. He had to make the important decisions and finish the work of his assistants. All the responsibilities were on Phil's shoulders. It will be Phil that the critics, and there will be many, will either blame or praise-But realizing all the work he did, we would like to take this opportunity to congratulate and thank him. Phil surrounded himself with the ablest assistants he could find. Walt Bernard became the photo editor and was given the job of working with Pat and Tom Walt Bernard Photo Editor Phil Lum Sports Editor Ed Antognolli Layout Editor Mr. and Mr . Tom Collins Collins, who supplied the YEARBOOK with all its professional photography. From last year's staff he got Jerry Desmond to be Business Manager, Phil Lum repeated the excellent job he did on sports, and Bill Olmo again handled the clubs. The overall layout of the book was ably handled by Ed Antognoli. The administration and social sections are the product of the ingenuity of Jerry Dalton and John Cavanagh respectively. To Jack Connoly went the difficult task of collecting the Senior biographies and preparing the Senior section. Other class editors were Ray Fazzio, Paul Collins and Bob Linczer. The job of securing ads came under the managership of John Brauner. John was ably assisted by Bob Granucci and Mario Vedrich.

Altamirano Expansion was the theme of this year's Foghorn, which for the past twenty-seven years has served as the official voice of the Associated Students of the University of San Francisco. Under its F!ditor-in-Chief Dick Nachtsheim, the Foghorn saw itself grow from a mere four-page tabloid into an imposing six-page standard-sized newspaper. While Nachtsheim assumed the task of overall supervision of the Foghorn and its component departments, it was into the lap of Managing Editor Phil Lum that the problem of makeup fell. News Editor Bill Crawford and his staff of reporters were responsible for the extensive news coverage of the University's departments, organizations, and extracurricular functions. Foremost among the Foghorn's columnists was John Cavanagh, who, when not busy gathering items for his much discussed Hilltop Lowdown, also doubled as Feature Editor. The Sports Department, under the editorial scrutiny of first Paul Abbott, then Bart Lagomarsino, found itself often pressed for space in trying to bring to the students full coverage of the Hilltop's vast intramural as well as intercollegiate sports program. Paul Abbott's ‘ Under the Bench column presented the inside story of the USF sports picture. Copy Editor Matt Gaffney never saw a dull Wednesday afternoon as he and his staff of copy and rewrite men put the final touches on important news stories before deadline time. Editing, writing and makeup are but only one side of a newspaper's life. Competent and efficient hands are needed in the business management and circulation departments of a newspaper, and the Foghorn found such hands in the persons of Jack Cannon, Dave Silva, Bill Javorsky and A1 Burford. Cannon served as Foghorn Business Manager at the beginning of .the year but due to other commitments was forced to give over the reins to Dave Silva midway during the Fall Semester. It was in large measure due to the work of the advertising department that made the rapid growth of the Foghorn possible. Bill Javorsky took charge of the Foghorn s Circulation Department for the Fall term and was spelled by A1 Burford in the Spring. Over seven hundred copies of the Foghorn are sent through the mails each week to subscribers, alumni, and other colleges (as part of a vast exchange program). The 1952-53 school year was in reality a busy and prosperous one for the Foghorn and its staff. First Row: D. Stoessor, D. Newton, P. Cunneen Second Row: A. Theis. G. DeFount, P. Nelaon, J. Poxtello PUBLICITY In its second year of operation the Publicity Committee was chairmanned by Jack Portello. Under Jack's tutelage the “Pub.Com. expanded its activities tremendously. The committee was responsible for all the on-campus publicity for all school dances, smokers, sports, both intercollegiate and intramural, the BSC, the Mardi Gras, and work for all the clubs. The Publicity Committee has a small workroom under the barracks' recreation room. Here the members come at all hours of the day and night to turn out COMMITTEE their works of art. The recent addition of a heater greatly improved the working conditions. Senior Bert Theis will be well remembered for the excellent cartoons he did. Soph Don Stoesser was responsible for some of the most elaborate signs and posters USF has ever seen. Don also turned his talents to the YEARBOOK by sketching the pins and keys of several of the clubs; his work appears on the next few pages. Through the unselfish cooperation of all its members the Publicity Committee has made this year an outstanding one for the University.

CLUB PRESIDENTS COUNCIL To coordinate and integrate the activities of the clubs on the campus, the Executive Council created the Club Presidents Council. The chairmanship of this council has been delegated to the Recording Secretary. This year the job fell to Jerry Desmond. Jerry, together with his Committee for Clubs and Organizations, has carried on the program of advancement and achievement which has been going on for the past several years. This year saw the reactivation of four of the clubs which had fallen by the wayside and the organization of one club new to the University. On the other side of the ledger two clubs which had ceased to function were unchartered. Looking back we can call the year a successful one.

Lagomarsino SANCTUARY SOCIETY The Sanctuary Society, oldest student organization of the University, has continued its steady increase of the past three years and now boasts a membership of over fifty. The present officers are Paul Collins, president; Hugh O'Conner, vice-president; Dick Ferrando, secretary; and Mr. John Killeen, S.J., prefect. The members of the Sane, have upheld the 97-year-old tradition of serving daily and Sunday masses. In addition to the ordinary services which the members attend, they assist at the three solemn functions held in the church; the Mass of the Holy Ghost, the Mass for the deceased members of the University, and finally the ceremonies of graduation. Like the Church, the Sanctuary Society is open to all who wish to become members. The only gualifica-tions are an ability to serve mass and faithfulness in attendance. Mr. Killeen, the prefect, and Paul Collins, the president, conduct classes in the manner of serving both high and low mass during the 10 A.M. activity period on Thursdays. At the close of the semester those qualifying for membership are received in an elaborate ceremony in the Church. After this reception an all-day picnic is held in the traditional Los Gatos site in honor of the new members and as a reward for the activities of the older members.

Tassoni The USF Sodality, with the new University Chaplain, Father James Dully, S.J., as Director, began the year of 1952-53 with an election ol officers at their weekly 7:00 A.M. Wednesday meetinq. The almost entirely new group of twenty-five men elected Evans Maionchi as prefect, Maxwell Hull as assistant prefect, Edward Stocker as secretary, and Antonio Romualdez as treasurer. With the twofold aim of personal sanctification and an active apostolate both in the University and out, the Sodality scheduled a monthly Mass and Communion together, a daily Rosary, and a program of outside apostolic activity. A fund drive for Jesuit missions in the Far East and a Christmas food drive for needy San Francisco families were the high points of the program during the fall term. Food donated by the students and turkeys purchased by the Sodality made a happier Christmas for several local families. During the semester break, the Sodality sponsored twenty hours of instruction by the Sisters of the Holy Family on catechism teaching. Fifteen Sodalists and other interested students attended the daily classes. At the beginning of the new semester, the catechetical group lost no time in finding teaching positions in parishes throughout the city, in the San Francisco County Jail, and in the Youth Guidance Center. Weekly periods of instruction by the Holy Family Sisters provide opportunity for more and more student catechists to receive training in this work. During the spring semester, USF was host to the officers of the University of Santa Clara Sodality, who participated with officers of the USF Sodality in a University Sodality Officers' Conference, two days of recollection and discussion designed to produce better understanding and application of the Sodality way of life.

Osibogun ALPHA SIGMA NU NATIONAL JESUIT HONOR SOCIETY Membership in the Alpha Sigma Nu is based on scholarship, loyalty and service to the University. Its membership is limited to two students from each college, Science, Arts, and Business; a maximum of three additional appointments are made by the President of the University each year. The University of San Francisco chapter of this National Jesuit Honor Fraternity has had for its principal objectives the promoting of all school activities and the advancement of all school organizations and their various functions. Its chief aim has been to promote the University's Catholic teachings by actively participating in its numerous undertakings. Alpha Sigma Nu was led this year by President Dick Nachtsheim, Vice-President A1 Calvert, Secretary Jerry Dalton, and Treasurer Carl Re. The faculty representative is Father John McIntosh, S.J. Pat Gallagher. President, Fall Evelyn Wright. President. Sprin TRI GAMMA With the impending graduation of the Sophomore Class, Tri Gamma, the University's nursing sorority, faced its first big problem: how to remain active with a large percentage of the girls transferring to Saint Mary's. This difficulty was overcome by providing each Freshman nursing student with a big sister to indoctrinate her in the policy and customs of the organization. As is done each semester, a banquet was held in the Fall to install the new officers: Pat Gallagher, President; Jean De Rosa, Vice-President; and Margaret Frago, Secretary-Treasurer. Since the position of moderator was left vacant by the transfer of Father Brown to New York, this duty was taken over by Father McIntosh. Among the Club's activities during the past year have been the sponsoring of lectures by Father Mei on the nursing profession, and it also took an energetic part in the Winter Carnival. At the end of the Fall Semester new officers were elected for the coming Spring: Evelyn Wright was chosen as President, with Jean Neuman and Germaine La Combe assisting her in the offices of Vice-President and Secretary-Treasurer, respectively.

MARASCHI CLUB During the Fall Semester, 1952, the Maraschi Club was re-chartered after a brief period of inactivity due to war conditions. The organization, composed of students of the University of San Francisco of Italian-American descent, soon recaptured its previously held position as one of the leaders of constructive student activity. Officers of the Club include Lou Bartolini as President, Bill Zappettini as Vice-President, Dave Devin- cenzi as Secretary, Joe Sangiacomo as Treasurer, and Milt Gottardi as Sergeant-at-Arms. The purpose of the Club is twofold. It attempts to create an interest and appreciation for the cultural and religious heritage given Western Civilization by Italy and to promote constructive student activity on the part of its members. During the Fall Semester the Club held a clothing drive. Over five hundred pounds of clothing were sent to the destitute of the Milan-Genoa area of Italy and over two hundred pounds to the Woman's Club of St. Peter and Paul Church for shipment to Italy and Korea. In the Spring Semester the Club sponsored a drive for athletic equipment for the Bishop Hanna Center for Boys. Attempting to bring the members of the Club into closer contact and greater appreciation of their religion, the practice of attending First Friday Mass and Holy Communion was instituted. The Club, as a whole, attends this function and then enjoys a Communion breakfast. First Row: F. Ramos. R. Nachtsheim. R. Lucas. B. Churton. W. Sheehan. Fr. Callahan. S.J. Second Row: R. Arellano. G.

IVES' LAW CLUB The St. Ives' Lew Club is dedicated to the juridical ideals and principles of its patron. St. Ives, while living in the eleventh century, was noted for the charity and compassion with which he administered the church court in his jurisdiction. It is this spirit that the St. Ives' Law Club is trying to encourage in the legal profession. Officers for the 1952-53 school year were outstanding. Dick Lucas was Chancellor. Noted for his thoroughness, Dick revitalized the Club with the help of his fellow officers and an enthusiastic membership. Dick Nachtsheim was Recorder and Barry Churton was the Bursar. Dick Luca . Chancellor Committee chairmen were: Publicity, Jerry Dalton; Social, Ed MeFetridge; trip to Sacramento, Jack Connolly; and Bill Saake, law school information. Club membership rose to the constitutional limit of twenty. Two initiation ceremonies. Fall and Spring, marked the beginning of each semester. The University social season for the Spring Semester was initiated by the first annual ’’Barrister's Ball, sponsored by St. Ives' Club. Attended by over two hundred students and their dates, the dance was assured of many happy ’’Balls in the future. The alumni club of St. Ives' invited the undergrads to a spring dance in Marin County. Speakers during the year included Harold R. McKinnon, nationally recognized authority on the natural law, Francis R. Walsh of the University of San Francisco Law School, and Rev. Raymond T. Feely, S.J., Vice-President of USF. Plans for the Spring Semester included a two-day trip to the state capital at Sacramento and a full program of speakers outstanding in the legal profession. Rev. Francis J. Callaghan, S.J., served his first year as moderator. His counselling and guidance v ere appreciated by the officers and members of St. Ives'. BIO-CHEMICAL CLUB The Bio-Chem Club's activities for the 1952-53 year were organized under the able auspices of Vince Mamoni as president. The other officers were: Jack Fennell, vice-president; Ed Salinas, secretary; Joe Cummins, treasurer; and Tony Longo, sergeant-at-arms. Unfortunately Longo received his greetings from Uncle Sam at the beginning of the Fall Semester and Harlan Hamlow was appointed sergeant-at-arms by Mamoni. The main activities of the Fall Semester were preparations for the Hallowe'en dance. An over capacity crowd testified to the dance's success. Scientific talks and field trips filled out the semester's endeavors, while the after-meeting refreshments and melodious songs were the favorite non-academic activities. Vince Mamoni graduated in February and Jack Fennell took over the presidency. The Spring semester's meetings were marked by various movies on technical and related topics. Field trips were made throughout the bay area and scientific talks were given by several guest speakers. A picnic was planned and undertaken with the Wasmann Society which provided an entertaining day for all. In brief, the scientists enjoyed a successful year. Jack Fonnell, President First Row: R.

THE WASMANN BIOLOGICAL SOCIETY The Wasmann Biological Society was founded in 1936 by Dr. Edward L. Kessel in honor of the great Jesuit biologist, Father Felix Wasmann. It has for its purpose the promotion of 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. This organization is the University of San Francisco Chapter of a national society found only in Jesuit colleges and universities. It is composed of active, honorary, and alumni members. As the University has grown, so too has the Wasmann Society. Its membership has been expanded to include pre-medical students and student nurses as well as biology majors. In the year 1952-53, Mario Vedrich was president, with Dick Bonomi as vice-president, while Barbara Keller was secretary and Ed Hurley, treasurer. Dr. Harold A. Harper assisted the Society as moderator. The Society meets every two weeks and undertakes activities of both professional and social interests. Its forty members witness operations and autopsies; visit research laboratories and mental hospitals; listen to guest speakers; watch scientific movies; and contribute books to the biology library. These alternate with picnics, ski trips, a Christmas party, and the traditional Hallowe'en Dance which has become the gala event of on campus social activities. The highlight of the year is the annual Wasmann AlumniBan-guet at which new officers are installed. The Society's many members — active, alumni, and honorary — believe that the Society is more than a mere club but even more so an integral and essential part of the University of San Francisco. Their heritage is a long and proud one. Merio Vedrich. President THE THOMISTS One of the oldest and most traditional of all USF clubs is the Thomist organization. Reactivated this year, the Thomists are becoming an integral part of university life. The purpose of this organization is speculative insofar as it gives one a knowledge of the ultimate values of reality, and practical, since it gives an attitude of mind for reflecting upon and utilizing these values. This purpose is accomplished philosophically in two ways. First we will study the philosophical writings of St. Thomas Aquinas. Secondly we will objectively consider the other philosophers and evaluate them in the light of Thomistic principles. In this • ,u“ ',h ■“ - The Thomists have operated this year under the direction of President Jim Jacklich, Vice-President Don DeMartini, Secretary Bill Kern, and Moderator Fr. Daniel McGloin, S.J., head of the Philosophy Department. We certainly hope that we can fulfill the goal of the Thomists, namely, to give to the minds of the students the knowledge, appreciation, and utilization of the ultimate Christian values of the universe. If this is accomplished. Philosophy will achieve its speculative and practical goal, namely, the proper development of the human intellect and will. f Knurling: R. Ferrando. C. Prosos. D.

PERSHING RIFLES The USF unit of the Pershing Rifles, national ROTC society, is composed of lower division ROTC students with an interest in the finer points of drill and command. The Pershing Riflemen serve as minute men and are always on hand to represent the school whenever the services of a military unit are called for. The Pershing Rifles took an active part in the Military Mass, celebrated on November 12, 1952, in Saint Ignatius Church. They answered the call of Colonel Stubbs for an able-bodied military unit to march in the 1953 Saint Patrick's Day Parade. The blue and white fourragere of the Pershing Rifles stands for fidelity to the highest ideals of the military profession. Those who have worn it have proven themselves top rate soldiers and high quality leaders. Mindful of these noble standards, the USF unit has provided a good percentage of the cadet officers for the USF ROTC regiment who have later graduated into the ranks of the Army of the United States. Officers for the Fall semester were: John Burke, president; Dan McBrady, vice-president; Harlan Hamlow, secretary; Bob Goodfellow, treasurer; Bob DeFount, sergeant-at-arms; and Tom Haley, public information officer. For the Spring semester, the officers were: Dan McBrady, president; John Murphy, vice-president; Tom Haley, secretary; Bob Goodfellow, treasurer; Joe Balanesi, sergeant-at-arms; and Bill Sullivan, public information officer.

The officers this year were President Burk W. Jones, First Vice-President Ed Boscacci, Second Vice-President Jim Whitney, and Secretary-Treasurer James Coleman. The members of this Chapter, mindful of the vital importance of military transportation, have joined together to gain information and encourage improvements in the science of transportation in its relation to military requirements. The objects of this Chapter are, therefore, to collect and disseminate useful knowledge with respect to military transportation and related subjects and to foster a spirit of good will and cooperative endeavor among its members.

GAMMA OMICRON CHAPTER OF THE INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS FRATERNITY OF DELTA SIGMA PI Delta Sigma Pi has many objectives and many hopes, but it is mainly interested in promoting professional and social activities that prove interesting and enjoyable to its members and their fellow students at the University. The activities of the fraternity during the past year show that they have lived up to their objectives, both professionally and socially. The professional program was planned with the intention of giving the members of the organization a chance to observe various types of business organizations in action .These included field trips through the plants and offices of companies such as: Folger's Coffee of San Francisco, Wieland Brewery of San Jose, Western Union of Oakland, and the Christian Brothers Winery of St. Helena. The members of the fraternity also had the pleasure of listening to various business men and A1 Baggiani, President instructors of business courses at luncheons and meetings held over the course of the past year. Although there were a multitude of professional activities, as was just mentioned, the members found time to have their very enjoyable social functions also. Outstanding events of the year were the Rose of Delta Sig dance at the Hotel Mark Hopkins; the initiation banquet at Lucca's Restaurant; the Ski Trip to Tahoe Valley; the New Year's Eve Party; and the annual picnic in Napa. The officers that constitute the Chapter's administration are: President, A1 Baggiani; Senior Vice-President, Jim Bollier; Vice-President, Bob Caetano; Secretary, Ed Antognoli; Treasurer, Dick Knight; Historian, Gene Bertorelli; Efficiency Contest Chairman, Lou Bartolini; and Social Co-Chairmen, Bob Ainslie and Bill Zappettini. MATH CLUB The small but energetic group of Math Clubbers started the year by electing A1 Sassus president. Sassus was assisted by Bill Ferrero as vice-president-treasurer and Tony Mayta as secretary. Dr. Irving Sussman vitalized the club as moderator. Bill Ferrero left in the Spring and Harlan Hamlo was elected to take his place as vicepresident-treasurer. The monthly meetings, which were held jointly with the Math Club of the College of the Holy Names, featured such speakers as Commander Johnson of the Naval Research Laboratories at Hunters Point, Mr. Richard Roberts, director of the College of Business' Evening Division, and Dr. Peter Coad of the University's Chemistry department. The Math Club took an active part in the Mardi Gras by taking charge of the raffle under the direction of Bill Olmo and running one of the more popular booths. The year's activities were rounded out by the annual picnic held jointly with the Holy Names Math Club. A1 Saaaua, Prcaident C. LyncK K. Baab. B. SmWK Tt. T. Saundata. S.3. au..ma . B. Taxzxo. VJ.

BLOCK S F CLUB Dan Moriarty. President, Fall To launch the beginning of the Fall semester, elections were held for the Block S. F. Club. The officers were well chosen, with Dan Moriarty, of baseball fame, selected as president. Dan capably handled all affairs, assisted by basket-bailer K. C. Jones as vice-president and senior basketball manager Joe Troy as secretary-treasurer. Some of the many activities in v hich the Block Club participated were ushering at the annual retreat as well as at Mary's Hour and the many student convocations. New election of officers transpired at the beginning of the Spring semester which brough Joe Troy to the president's helm, ably assisted by “Back-stopper” Dick Bechelli as vice-president, and Sosserman Bill Cox as secretary-treasurer. The annual Block Club Banquet occurred in April. At this time the athletes were rewarded for their work throughout the year. The highlight of the Block Club's activity for the Spring semester was the gigantic smoker held in May. The event was well attended and was climaxed by the presentation of scrolls to all the letter-winners of this year. PI SIGMA ALPHA First Row: J. Van Do Pool. E. McFetridgo, F. Ramos. R. Lucas Second Row: W. Sheehan. W. Capuccioli, W. Saake. J. Harrington. O. A. Osibogun The Pi Sigma Alpha fraternity, founded at the University of Texas in 1920, is the national Political Science honor society. The Omega chapter, University of San Francisco, was chartered in 1935. The fraternity receives into its ranks upper division and graduate students majoring in government, political science, public administration and international relations. Members must attain high standards of scholarship both in political science and in other academic work. This organization's position among leading college honor societies was established in 1949 through admission to the National Association of College Honor Societies. Pi Sigma Alpha, while small in number, is one of the more active groups on campus. Its most important function is the operation of the Civil Service Information Bureau, which brings to the attention of the student body the more attractive government jobs open to them. Since its inception the Bureau has assisted some twenty-seven graduates in acquiring government positions. In conjunction with this service, the fraternity has presented speakers from the various levels of government in order that those interested may familiarize themselves with the Civil Service and what it has to offer. Among the Club's other activities are joint meetings with the International Relations Club and contributions to the Quarterly Magazine. Fermin Ramos. President First Row: C. Crotly, W. Sheehan. S.

The Clan is an organization composed of those students of strictly Irish descent. The goal is a close-knit group of the sons of Erin. Throughout the school year, the Clanna Erieanna conspicuously displayed the spirit and vigor that is typical of the Kellys and Maloneys and all the rest. Carrying on the fine Irish Catholic tradition, the members of the Clan were active in distributing literature concerning the tax exemption of secondary private schools in the hot November election of 1952. Commendable participation in the highly successful Winter Carnival and hard work in the drive for books for the Orient were notable activities engaged in by the Clanners. John McCarthy, Prosidont On the social scene, the Irishmen scheduled a banquet in late Spring at one of San Francisco's more fashionable restaurants. Twenty-two charter members of the Clan held an informal meeting on September 17, 1952, at which officers were elected. The Clansmen selected from among themselves John McCarthy as President. McCarthy was the man who was instrumental in revitalizing the Club, and is the one to whom all credit should go for the Clan's participation in campus affairs. Ken Frey was elected Vice-President; Timothy Treacy Treasurer; Bill Sheehan Secretary; and Chuck Crotty Sergeant-at-Arms. Fr. William Dunne, S.J., appointed the genial Fr. McMahon, S.J., Moderator at the request of the energetic Irishmen. The members of the Clanna Erieanna were pleased with the revivification of this organization and the results of their labors. At the year's end, the members expressed the hope that a year like this would only be the start of a new era in which the Clan will take its place as one of the leading and most proud clubs in the organizational fold of USF. PROPELLER CLUB i The Propeller Club, Port of the University of San Francisco, has been extremely active in the maritime field in the bay area. The aim of the Club is to acquaint its members with the various aspects of shipping and foreign trade, by means of lectures and visits to shipyards and naval bases, and by conducting experiments relative to the problems encountered in these fields. Among the organization's activities over the past year have been a visit to the Bethlehem Steamship Company's Yard, participation in Maritime Day festivities and Harbor Week, the scheduling of numerous guest speakers and the showing of a number of colorful travelogues. The officers for 1952-53 have been: Ray Gilmartin, President; Don Mitalo, Vice-President; A1 Kesen-heimer, Secretary; and Larry Zaro, Treasurer. The co-moderators for the Club were Dr. Sharkey and Mr. Hunt. Ray Gilmartin. President First Row: Kelly, Ford, Dowkie, Vistan, Haegney, Hcssonheimor, Mitolo. Second Row: Mr. Sullivan, Loose.

President The few stragglers who initiated this year's Glee Club had every reason, it seemed, to be dejected. But Dr. Camajani instilled a fighting spirit in them and by January the music-minded organization boasted of a one-hundred-percent increase. Why the change? The answer stands out in words like enthusiasm, dash, achievement, deeds-instead-of-delay — and leadership. Dr. Camajani and Dave Silva started the bonfire of eagerness and the Glee Club members kept it burning. The warming results were first evident in the concert for the USF Educator's Club. The songs like Amo Amas, a poke at ritualistic Latin classes, and the ever-popular Moonlight Bay, were hits. And although the singing for the USF alumni ban-guet was more in the rough-and-ready style, it too was a success. The Glee Club kept up its vigor and sang its way through negro spirituals, folk songs, old English ditties and Gregorian Chant, concluding a year which speaks for itself, a year of good fortune.

Westbrook PHILHISTO RIANS The Philhistorian Debating Society, oldest club on the campus, was this year the center for a highly intensified program of forensic activity among its own members and intercollegiately as well. Under the direction of President Ted Moore, Vice-President Bob Granucci, Secretary Ed Serres and Treasurer John Murphy, with Fr. Albert Zabala, S.J., as Moderator, Philhistorians participated in numerous speech events. University Platform, the weekly KCBS radio show, hosted USF speakers frequently. Round Table discussion groups at California, Stanford, San Jose State and St. Mary's College had able USF participants. Two model Student Congresses, one in the Fall and one in the Spring, concerned themselves with bills proposed by Philhistorian Delegates. In addition to these activities, debate teams were furnished for bi-weekly Round Robin Debates with other members of the Northern California Forensic Association. In February USF hosted a tournament of the Association on our campus. The speech tournament at Pepperdine in Los Angeles was attended by members of the Philhistorians. Moreover the Philhistorians acted as a center to provide student speakers for other intercollegiate activities in which they were required. All the above activities were in subordination and supplementation to the primary goals of the Club. The Philhistorians purpose was the promoting of efficiency in clear thought and persuasive expression along Christian principles among its members. In as far as these were achieved the Philhistorians could look with pride on a year of accomplishment. Tod Moots, Prosidcnt t First Row: A. Theis, J. Tallorico, T. Picrco Second Row: Mr. T. R.

Crawford INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB The International Relations Club of the University of San Francisco was chartered in 1933 as a vehicle of interest and expression for undergraduates having a concern for or an inclination toward the study of foreign affairs and international relations. Administered by the University’s Department of Political Science, the Club draws its membership from students enrolled in every school of the University. Following the influx of veterans to the University at the conclusion of World War II, the International Relations Club experienced a marked increase in membership and expansion of activities. Since 1951 the IRC has operated under a co-moderatorship of Mr. R. MacKenzie and Dr. A. Bouscaren. The present officers are President Frank Apecechea and Secretary Ricky Curotto. In the fall of 1948, the Club commenced the publication of The I. R. C. News, a quarterly paper concerned with matters of interest to members of the organization. This publication achieved a wide circulation beyond the campus, and in the Spring of 1952 appeared with a new format under the title The Internationa] Scene. Delegations of members from the USF IRC attend the various conferences and other student conclaves customarily held throughout the academic year, and the Club as a whole conducts joint meetings with other northern California college and university International Relations Clubs. In its regular program of campus gatherings, the IRC has presented to capacity crowds a variety of highly regarded speakers and panels on timely subjects. Outstanding among these have been such presentations as: Rev. Fionan Branni-gan, S.J., the Faculty panel of Professors Carl Uhr and William Leen, the two appearances of the Reverend Jerome D'Souza, Indian delegate to the United Nations, Captain John McMahon's memorable and prophetic lecture on Korea, the honorable Young Han Choo of Korea, the honorable Jean De Lagarde of France, and Mr. Matt Cvetic, former under-cover FBI agent who infiltrated the Communist Party in America. Frank Apecechea. President HISTORY CLUB John Delury. President The University of San Francisco History Club was born of a conviction shared by members of the History Department as well as by certain interested students of the Department that extra-curricular contacts should be of value in arousing interest in various aspects of the subject as well as in cementing friendly relations between faculty and students. The first meeting of the History Club was held on October 2, 1952 and elections were held. Duly elected officers for the various posts were, John F. Delury, President, Gerald Olson, Vice-President and Theodore J. Moore, Secretary-Treasurer. Since that time, the Club, under the Moderatorship of Father John B. McGloin, S.J., has sponsored two lectures and one field trip. October 30, 1952 saw Mr. Aubrey Drury, author of books on California history, lecturing on History as a Hobby. An overflow audience assembled to hear Doctor John D. Hicks, Chairman of the University of California History Department, in a completely enjoyable analysis of the recent presidential election, this lecture being delivered on November 20, 1952. This had been preceded by several weeks by a spirited discussion on the election issues on the part of the Club membership. The field trip was held on Sunday, October 19, 1952, when a caravan tour was made to Coloma, the site of the discovery of gold in 1848. First Row: T. Mooro, E. Antognoli, D. DeMartini, J. Dolury, G.

Sulit PHILIPPINE CLUB The Philippine Club of the University of San Francisco began its existence more than five years ago. After three years of continuous life, the Club was temporarily abandoned due primarily to the regular and constant graduation of its old members and aggravated by the lack of prospective members. However, during the Fall semester of 1952, several enthusiastic students of the University decided to activate the Club again. And so they took the matter to the attention of the Dean of Men. After a brief discussion, the Dean accepted the idea and it was finally approved by the . _ , _ , Executive Council. Its Charter was renewed and so Jim Del Rosario, President once again the Philippine Club took active part in the various problems and activities presented by the students. The aim and objective of the Philippine Club was to promote interest and appreciation of Philippine culture and to foster the relations between the Islands and the United States. The officers are President Jaime Del Rosario, Vice-President Alex Labrador, Treasurer Benjamin Ting, and Secretary Ralph Pardell. Rev. Thomas A. Reed, S.J., is the Club's moderator. Stu Bennett, Director Modern serious drama, farce comedy, and classic tragedy added up to an exciting and successful 1952-53 stage season for the College Players. When the Players added to their activity behind the USF footlights regular participation in a series of seven television shows it added up also to an extremely busy season. The University's theater year got off to an impressive start early in October with a sensitive and powerful interpretation of The Glass Menagerie, by Tennessee Williams. In their second production, staged in mid-November, the College Players effected a quick change of pace to frolic their way through the hilarious Kaufman and Hart hit, George Washington Slept Here. Still another transition of mood and the Players were ready to step forth in the tragedian's buskin for a production of Shakespeare's Macbeth. Produced late in April, Macbeth closed the University's stage season, but did not spell an end to the year’s activities for the little theater group. From February 15th until the end of the Spring semester the Players were busy reenacting famous jury trials on the biweekly KRON television series You Are The Jury. Responsible for the able direction of the three stage productions and of the TV series was Stuart G. Bennett, the University's instructor in speech and College Players' Director. College Player officers who guided the organization through one of its most active seasons were: Ed Hurley, president; Ted Moore, vice-president; Ed Antognoli, treasurer; and Dave Devincenzi, secretary. Always active and helpful in his role as Moderator was Father Paul J. Harney, S.J. In the season's opener, University playgoers got an unusual and penetrating insight into a basic family situation. The Glass Menagerie probes deeply into the undercurrent of conflict that charges family re- lationships with an electric tension hovering between the extreme poles of love and hate. Mr. Williams explores that tension through the story of the Wingfield family as recounted by young Tom Wingfield. Through Tom's eyes the audience sees the life he has fled. They see Tom's mother, Amanda, a protective, immature woman emotionally overburdened by the task of rearing her two children without their father; they see Laura, Tom's sensitive, crippled sister who withdraws from reality into her dream world of glass animals; and they see the gentleman caller who, as a prospective suitor for Laura, represents hope for all three of the Wingfields for an escape from the toils in which they find themselves enmeshed. The author builds Tom's recollections into a play surcharged with emotion that leaves the audience with a vivid memory of a profound experience in drama. All of the fine qualities which Mr. Williams gave The Glass Menagerie came to the fore in the interpretation staged by the College Players. A well balanced cast and unusually effective stage techniques were combined to achieve this happy result. Marge Werby showed fine dramatic range in her switch from comedy roles to the serious and important part of Amanda Wingfield. She demonstrated an excellent grasp of the finely shaded variations of emotion necessary to keep her long and talky role vibrantly alive. Tom Hamil, an addition to College Player ranks from Annapolis, came through with a fine portrayal of the extremes of emotion demanded by the part of Tom Wingfield. In the role of Laura Wingfield, Virginia Cox, a newcomer from San Francisco State, managed a restrained, sensitive performance ideally suited to the story. Frank Riley, USF student body president, was a natural as the exuberant young gentleman caller. In their switch from serious drama to rollicking farce the Players came up with a solid box office hit in George Washington Slept Here. The la ugh-packed comedy of the city slicker taken by country yokels opened its three-night run on ’November 19 and brought immediate acclaim to a new personality among USF comic character actors. In the midst of a highly competent cast headed by Betty Bennett and Dave Devincenzi, Joe Bellan stood out for his riotous performance as Mr. Kimber, the laconic country caretaker. Real artistry in the use of subtle changes of expression and gesture as well as a flair for rough and tumble slapstick made Joe's performance the big laugh hit of the show. It might have been a one-man show were it not for the competency of the entire cast. Betty and Dave turned in polished performances as the city couple trying to settle in the shambles of a country house in which George Washington was alleged to have slept. Ted Moore was delightfully droll as rich Uncle Stanley. Dorn Tarantino and Pat Barry brought a pleasant freshness to their roles as the juvenile leads, while Bob Johnson cavorted happily as the mischievous nephew. Delberta Little, Ken Letner, Marie Gannon. Chariot Gates, and Jerry Dalton were also among the many who turned in top-notch performances. Most ambitious of the season's undertakings was the staging of a lavish, full-length production of Shakespeare's “Macbeth. Script readings and casting for the play were started even while George Washington Slept Here was in production. Activity toward the presentation of the play was continuous from that time. That that activity paid off was evident in the fine job the Players did of meeting the demands of poetic drama, a form new to most of the members of the cast. It was also evident in the manner in which the organization coped with the great many technical problems of staging the Elizabethan tragedy. Bringing the leading roles to life in Shakespeare's treatment of a story from 11th century Scottish history were Ted Moore as Macbeth, Marge Werby as Lady Macbeth, Ed Hurley as Macduff, and Leo McCarthy as Banquo. Fine performances by the large supporting cast played a big part in making the stellar interpretations of the four leads come vividly alive. Behind those interpretations was Director Stuart Bennett, who molded the acting roles into their final form. USF's Shakespearian scholar, Dr. Hereward T. Price, also lent his assistance with valuable and authoritative interpretive advice. Full-fledged entrance into entertainment's newest medium simultaneously with production of Macbeth” was a big hurdle the College Players managed to take in stride. Early in February, just as full rehearsal schedules for Macbeth” were being mapped, the Players were asked to join their talents to those of the University’s Law School in producing a TV show based on famous trials. An experiment in educational television, You Are the Jury,” was a cooperative enterprise of the USF Law School and Station KRON-TV. Aimed at giving local audiences an insight into the workings of the law, the shows were based on actual cases famous in legal annals. USF law students handled the examination of witnesses and the arguments to the jury, while the College Players provided the dramatic background incidents for the shows and furnished the principal actors in the courtroom drama, other than the attorneys and the judge. As indicated by the show's title, the jury was made up of the television audience. Viewers were asked to mail in their verdicts at the close of each show and on the succeeding show the results of the audience poll were compared with the actual trial verdict. Produced by College Players' Director Stuart Bennett, the show was written by KRON staff members and narrated by Edward F. Dolan, Jr., USF evening division instructor and local TV personality. Members of the USF Law School faculty and v ell known Bay Area jurists sat as guest judges on the television courtroom bench. The initial show in the biweekly series of seven productions was aired on Sunday, February 15. Reviewing the year's activities and the scope they encompassed, it can easily be seen that the College Players lived up to their purpose, namely, to suit the function of the university by presenting a range of theatrical experience consistent with the purposes of the institution.” . . . Work has commenced on the new St. Ignatius Church and College to be erected on the corner of Fulton and Shrader Streets. —The Leader, October 22, 1910. Sunday, March 24, 1912, was set as the day on which the cornerstone would be laid. The day itself was not an auspicious one. A cold wind from low hanging clouds swept through the gaunt framework of black steel, chilling the five thousand people witnessing the celebration. —The Chronicle, March 24, 1912. Upon arrival at the partially finished Church, Archbishop Riordan blessed the ground upon which the new altar was soon to rest. He then blessed the cornerstone as workmen gently lowered it into place. The Monitor, March 30, 1912. Phil Woolpert Ross Giudice Frank Zanazzi Rev. Daniel Kclloher, S.J. Harvey Chriatenaon Joe Troy Joe Erlach. Cheerleader Bill Kern, Cheerleader SPORTS STAFF PHIL WOOLPERT, in his third year as head basketball coach of the Dons, successfully steered his team to the co-championship of the California Basketball Association. The season's overall record of 11 wins and 12 losses does not tell the whole story of Phil's worries and headaches. Ho is also Director of Athletics at USF. ROSS GIUDICE again made strong claims for the most successful yearling basketball coach in the Bay Area, as the Frosh posted an overall record of 19-4. The material he is building for future use on the varsity includes several very promising stars. FRANK ZANAZZI. tape man par excellence, can easily lay claim to another outstanding service to the Hilltop: track coach. During the basketball season, Frank is busy conditioning tho athletes for the hardwood sport. When winter begins to thaw, Frank busios himself rounding up fleet cinder men and husky fieldsters. FR. KELLEHER, in his first year as athletic moderator of the schoo . saw the success of a sound intramural program that became the envy of many colleges. Furthermore, the prospects of intercollegiate competition in track, basketball, soccer, tennis, etc., is slowly beginning to take on a healthy outlook. HARVEY CHRISTENSEN, Intramural Commissioner, stepped into one of the most ambitious programs ever laid down by any school. In the short course of a few months, a highly competitive football program became the foundation for intramural athletics of every type, and student participation becamo the watchwords around the campus. During the Spring Season, Harv guided the baseball nine as coach. JOE TROY, manager of the basketball team, has now finished four years of faithful service to the sport he likes so well. During that span, Joe witnessed the departure of USFs 1949-50 NIT team, suffered through the pains of rebuilding, but shared gloriously in many of the team's startling upsets over outstanding foes.

Jones Frank Evangelho CAPPY LAVIN—A mainstay on the team, Cappy first saw action back in Pete Newell's days, when USF boasted of its great National Invitation teams. His dribbling wizardry earned for him a wide band of fans, while his unorthodox floor work and shooting made him a terror against opponents who found him hard to defense against. He was absent from varsity competition for a year due to a back injury, but came back strong as ever when the season began. Cappy did not finish the season due to pressing personal matters. PHIL VUKICEVICH—Cool, methodical Phil was All-Northern California guard for two years in a row. His steady, heads up manner of playing made him the floor leader of the Dons; it was this spirit that held the squad together during moments when the opposition began to rally. This year he led all Don scorers with 296 points and a 12.8 average for 23 games. Phil's three years on the varsity has been an integral part of the teams he has played on, and in recognition of this fact he was chosen team captain at the beginning of this season. In addition to hisscoring prowess, Phil is one of the top defensive men on the squad. His left-handed jump-push shots from 15 feet out will be sorely missed next year. KEITH WALKER—Carrying on in the tradition of past defensive rebounders who have romped the floors for USF, Keith was an excellent ball snatcher, often racking up opponents in his eagerness to lay hands on a loose ball. The Healdsburg lad was hampered by injuries throughout the season, but never- theless got in his share of licks. His top games this year were against Pacific Coast Conference foes: In the California contest, Keith was the only player who scored with regularity that night; against the Oregon Ducks he entered the game as a replacement and promptly meshed the points that put the Dons ahead at half time. DICK JENSEN—Tall, angular Dick has been first-string center for the past three seasons. During that time his work on the backboards has been more than adequate. Offensively, Dick has had great nights: Particularly remembered are his tremendous scoring outburst against powerhouse Kansas State a year ago and his valiant but losing effort against Seattle University this season, in which game he tallied 17 points. His favorite shot was a wheeling hook from the center post, although he was just as effective with a set shot from outside. JACK CANNON The Omaha Kid was the leading scorer on the Frosh squad four years ago, but in his Sophomore and Junior years he was used sparingly. When he did get into the game, Jack's deadly two-handed set shots rocked the opposing teams time and again. Never one to let an opportunity for a quick bucket go by, he could score with either his aforementioned favorite or with a driving layin. This past season, the crew-cut Cannon saw considerable amount of action and was the most dependable replacement on Woolpert's bench. Jerry Mullen (14) holds tho casaba high and away from eager Cougar Van Burgess (4) and All-American Joe Richey (6). Frank Cvangelho (16), USF center, watches with wide-mouth eagerness in this BYU-USF contest. A heart-breaking loss to the Stanford Indians at the very outset of the season, 73-74 in overtime, got a potentially great USF five off to a slippery start. Despite Captain Phil Vukicevich's 28 points, the last quarter onslaught of the Indians on their home tepee was enough to overcome a 15-point half time deficit. Incidentally, Vukicevich's scoring output earned him Bay Area Player of the Week honors. The weather was wet and cold outside; inside, the Golden Bears were hot. The combination spelled a miserable night for the Green and-Gold team, as they went down 33-64. Attempts by Coach Woolpert to find a clicking combination failed, and the cold Dons rolled in their lowest output during the season. Less than 20 hours after leaving San Francisco, the Dons found themselves in the spacious Brigham Young University field house. A standing-room-only crowd of over 92C0 saw the visitors roll up a 27-22 half time lead. But the Cougars' Joe Ritchey and Dean Larsen, ball hawking and point making with regularity, quickly closed the gap. As the game ended, USF was ahead 52-51, but a foul awarded Larsen netted two quick and important points. Final score: 53-52, BYU. Vukicevich was high point man, with 16 tallies. Into Oklahoma City planed the weary team to do battle with Oklahoma City U. the next night. K. C. Jones' outstanding offensive and defensive production was not enough to hold a lead, as fatigue withered USF in the final minutes, 72-64. Kansas State was prepared to greet the team that had the year before defeated its national-ranking five in an upset: 11,500 partisan fans cheered the number three team of the nation on to a 81-60 victory. State's All-American center Dick Knostman pumped in points with regularity all evening to set a blistering 38 per- Clem Korto and K. C.

The Wichita Shockers, led by Cleo Littleton's 20 marks, pieced together a 17-point third quarter to overcome another USF half time lead. Despite Jerry Mullen's 21 point effort, the Dons dropped another contest that could have gone either way, 59-64. Back into Oklahoma territory trudged the hard luck five, this time to meet Tulsa U. The Golden Hurricanes, despite a national rating, barely managed a 33-33 half time tie. Dick Nunnelly's 20 points, however, led the Hurricanes to a 69-62 win. Frank Evan-gelho was leader for the Hilltoppers with 14. After the holidays, USF made a short trip to Fresno State for a contest with the Bulldogs. All school scoring records fell when the Dons pasted Fresno State 87-74 for their first victory of the season. Evangelho, Vukicevich and Jensen were the siege guns as they potted 21, 14 and 12 points respectively. The Hilltoppers were just warming up now. In their first California Basketball Association game, the Dons whipped a lethargic San Jose State Spartan quint, 67-47. Jones, Mullen and Jensen all scored in double figures, as the Dons were able to coast to victory after holding an intermission margin, 39-23. Santa Clara's Broncos provided the next competition and Woolpert’s charges immediately began to corral the opposition in their own stall down the Peninsula. Utilizing a pressing man-to-man defense, Santa Clara was completely stymied 59-48. Vukice-vich's 18, Jones' 13, and Mullen's 12 counters made up the bulk of USF's scoring. Despite a strong partisan crowd, the Broncs could not cope with the shorter Dons. Jim Young and Dick Soares tallied 12 and 10 points respectively for the Santa Clarans. High up go K. C. Jonos and BYU Dean Larsen for the spheroid. while Lawson and Cougar Burgess close up fast. Two Loyolans press Carl Lawson to the floor in their eagerness for a loose ball. Carl Lawson uses his head to bat tho ball to a waiting companion, in a bit of action during the first San Joso State gamo. The Gaels of St. Mary's hosted the Hilltoppers in Richmond's spacious Civic Auditorium three days later, but again the advantage of a home'' court failed to materialize. In a tight, evenly matched contest, USF pulled away late in the last quarter to nail down a 70-60 victory. Frank Evangelho and the Gael's Bill Bagley hooked up in a scoring duel; Evangelho came out on top 27-22. A revitalized Olympic Club, bolstered by All-American Frank Guisness and a band of sharp-shooting ex-collegians, tramped into Kezar Pavilion to give the Dons a rough time. At half, both squads were knotted at 26 points. A strong finish, capped by Vukicevich's 18 points and Mullen's 14, enabled the home team, USF, to pull away, 64-58. Another road trip, this time to the Pacific Northwest, busied the Green and Gold Squad during the semester holidays. At Eugene, Oregon, the Dons en gaged in a wild contest with the Webfoots. and found themselves exchanging leads 20 times. Oregon's substitute guard, Bob Hawes, potted 8 field goals to keep pressure on the visitors; at one point in the last quarter he led his flock to a seven-point bulge but the Dons refused to wilt. K. C. Jones and Vukicevich slowly melted the opposition, and it was the former's full-throttle lay-up and free throw that sent USF ahead for good. Jones’ 12 was high for the Dons' 61-57 victory. Seattle U's O'Brien twins were all that their press releases claimed, but the Chieftains had another secret weapon hustling Stan Glowaski. who meshed 16 points in the first two cantos. Johnny O'Brien slipped, slid and hooked in 31 tallies. The Dons nevertheless stubbornly hung in the game, mainly on Vukicevich's 18 and Jensen's 17 counters. In all, the Seattle team scored but one more field goal (29-28) A plummeting ball can cause a lot of trouble, but K. C. Jones Mullen (14) goes high to bat the ball away from an eager ignores any such consequence down on The Farm. Bronc. but their deadly accuracy from the gift line spelled the difference. The final buzzer found O'Brien U. ahead 87-76. Portland U's Pilots took a flying start against the visiting Dons and kept an even pace throughout the set-to to nose out their guests 61-60. Although USF was slightly cold from the floor, the Pilots were certainly no better; only the persistent efforts of Ed Hummel and Capt. Ken Strode kept PU from rattling when the Dons went ahead twice. Hummel's 17 and Vukice-vich's 14 topped each team's respective scoring. Back in their own bailiwick for the rest of the season, USF settled back to meet the Young Men's Institute of San Francisco, a strong amateur team composed of many former college stars. But the steady pointmaking of Gordon Cuneo and Mike O'Neill were too much for the Dons to cope with, as the YMI garnered a 68-59 win. Evangelho combed the nets for 16, while Jones garnered 13. Loyola of Los Angeles paid a brief visit to the Bay Area and was given a rude welcome. For a while, the Lions enjoyed a comfortable lead but Keith Walker, Jones, and Vukicevich began to whittle down the margin. A full court press also worked to advantage, and the Dons annexed their first win in the last four starts, 65-59. College of the Pacific was supposedly “easy game for the experienced Woolpertmen, but the Tigers threw a scare into the Hilltoppers before succumbing 40-46. Jerry Mullen’s control of both backboards and high point effort prevented a near upset at the hands of the CBA cellar-dwellers. St. Mary's entered Kezar Pavilion with one purpose in mind: defeat the league leaders. And for a while it looked as if the Gaels would do just that, as they piled up a 22-18 intermission bulge. In the final stanza, Jones, Mullen and Jensen put the host Dons ahead for Como and get it, challenges Vukicevich, and two Gaels pro-pare to take on his dare. An unsuspecting Gael looks the othor way as Dick Jensen sweeps the board. K. C. Jones barrols into Keith Walker as they go for a looso ball against Stanford. good, and USF remained on top of the CBA heap with no losses and 5 wins. McLaughlin tallied 22 digits for St. Mary's, while K. C. Jones pumped in 15. The team against which the Dons had set a new school scoring record earlier in the season—Fresno State—came into town to square matters. But again USF had little trouble v ith the Bulldogs as the Green and Gold squad found the Fresnans all bark and no bite, 84-62. Jerry Mulien's 24 points earned him Player of the Week honors. Again a supposedly toothless Tiger gave the USF squad a rough going, this time in Kezar. COP matched bucket for bucket, and doggedly trailed the Dons throughout the contest. Gene Sosnick, the Tigers' diminutive guard, combed in 19 points to take scoring honors, but his team fell 50-60 nevertheless. A jinx which has plagued Don teams for at least the past five years continued its merry way: Spartan Gym, home court of San Jose State, has never witnessed a Don win in the past college generation. And a team which USF had defeated by 20 points earlier in the season upset the CBA leaders 58-46. The Spartan win paved the way for a possible Santa Clara tie for CBA honors if the Dons were to lose their finale to the Broncos. With the scene set, the Broncs came galloping into Kezar for the coveted win which guaranteed a NCAA play-off bid to the victor. Although the Hilltoppers were behind most of the way, the point spread was never so great as to leave the issue decided. In fact. Santa Clara won in the last seconds of the game, 61-58. Vukicevich tallied 15 to lead the Dons, while Ken Sears and Jim Young scored 16 and 12 to pace the Broncs. For his steady, outstanding performance throughout the year, Phil Vukicevich earned a first-place berth on the All-Northern California five.

FROSH BASKETBALL The Don Freshman basketball team again notched an impressive won-loss record, as it annexed 19 wins while dropping but 4 in season play. The figures bring Coach Ross Giudice's three-year record to a 55-12 mark, and is indicative of the ability which the former NIT-great possesses. The most promising prospect on the Frosh five is skyscraping (6 ft. 8 in.) Bill Russell, former McCly-monds (Oakland) High star center. In 23 contests, Russell scored 188 field goals and 85 free tosses for a total of 461 points; his average hovers around the 20 point per game mark, give or take a decimal point. Forward Darol Smith combined with Russell to set a blistering one-two punch against their opponents. The Veloso twins, Mario and Fred, were always dependable for scores; and together with swift Hal Perry, the starting team gained impressive wins over frosh squads from California, San Jose State (2), Santa Clara (2), and St. Mary's (2).

CHAMPS Manny Ortiz A1 Rangel The 1952 Don soccer team, continuing in the tradition of its four illustrious predecessors, won the Northern California Intercollegiate Soccer Conference championship for the fifth straight year. As thirty-one men reported for the team last September, Coach Augustine (Gus) P. Donoghue began to formulate plans for fielding another championship contender. Gone were Ozigbu, Diaz, Lommori, Bi-garani, Goodwin, Fraher and Kilday. Donoghue knew he would have to fill the gaps left by these seven, and, more important, would need the reserves which have been the backbone of all Don championship elevens. Threatening Don supremacy were the Bears of California, the Gators of San Francisco State, and Stanford’s Big Red; all had grown more powerful since last season. The fall turnout yielded sixteen lettermen, among whom were 1951 All-Conference selections Jose Leon, Manny Ortiz, and Olufunmi Osibogun, the latter an All-American as well. Leon teamed with Al Rangel, another veteran, and newcomers Jorges Valdez, Brian Pike, Joe Ignoffo and Mashood Danmole, to form an offense which later proved second to none in the conference. Osibogun and Ortiz collaborated with the experienced Ralph Pardell, Armando Denys, Maurice Beattie, Bill Herup, Bill Cox, and the Philippines' Adrian Manzano, to form a formidable defense. Boasting a 37-game winning streak over league opponents, the Dons humbled, in order, SF State, Stanford, City College, Santa Clara and California, in first round play. The first five opponents scored only two goals against the Don defense, while the potent Hilltop attack countered twenty-four times. In the second round of conference play, the Green and Gold eleven overpowered all opposition, except an upset-minded Stanford Indian which handed the Dons a heart-breaking tie. At the end of ten league games, the Hilltop Horde had extended its unbeaten record to 46 contests. To make the season complete, the champions decisioned the Conference All Stars for the fifth consecutive year. USF was invited to participate in the Fourth Annual Soccer Bowl at St. Louis, Mo., December 28, but the contest was cancelled due to playing-site difficulties. Hence the Dons' bid for national recognition fell by the wayside. The Conference inaugurated a Junior Varsity program this season, and the Donlets posted a victory over California's Bearcubs, and broke even in two games each with SF State and Stanford. Rafael Pardell Adrian Manzano Mashood Danmolo Joe Ignoffo Chape Leon Front-liners AI Falconi, Ted Chun. Rudy Dangcil, Andrew and Charles Jezycki, Alex Labrador, Bernard McGinity and Paul Wedel. and backfielders Andy Conway, Ron Edgeman, Ray Gilmartin, Herbert Ho, Tom Klitgaard, Rouben Tchakalian, and Antonio Roumaldez comprised a squad which should supply the varsity with experienced talent in the seasons to come. Six Dons—Cox, Beattie, Pike. Leon, Ortiz and Osi-bogun—were named on the All-Conference first team. It was the second time around for Leon and Ortiz, and the third such honor for Osibogun. In addition. Danmole and Manzano were awarded Honorable Mention. By this year's performance, the booters have added another victorious chapter to the Hilltop’s Second Golden Era in soccer, an era which has already matched that of 1932-36 and which, indeed, may surpass it.

Donoghue, with a welcoming smile, directed him to take part in the practice. At first, the experienced members of the Hilltop eleven kidded the newcomer, because he wasn't wearing shoes. But their friendly snickering was soon replaced by gasps of amazement when, with his bare feet, he drove the ball into the corner of the net— from forty yards out! From that day on, Olufunmi Adekunle Osibogun distinguished himself as one of the truly fine soccer-men in USF history. He was one of the determining factors on that 1949 eleven which went on to annex the national co-championship. Osibogun continued his exceptional playing during the next three years. He didn't score a single goal during that time—but that wasn't the responsibility of a halfback in soccer. His job was one of warding off opponents’ scoring threats and initiating the Dons' offensive maneuvers, and the prince from Nigeria executed both tasks with superlative ability. Attesting to that ability were the honors bestowed upon him. Osibogun was chosen All-Conference in 1950, '51, and '52, and All-American in 1949, '51, and '52. With the 1952 season, the prince brought to a close his collegiate career—a career which entitles him to join the ranks of great USF soccermen of the past, such as Negoesco, Lee and Diaz.

Coach Harv Christensen's varsity nine this year faced its most ambitious schedule in years. Included on the list were California (twice), Stanford, Santa Clara, San Jose State, and a host of strong service teams. Paul Torrente started at first base, Lorin Scola handled second, John Olcese covered third, and George Zucca mopped up in shortstop territory. The outfielders included Dick Arnoldy in left field, the power swinging Joe Arenivar in the center yard, and Bob Castagnetto over in the right lot. Besides Arenivar, the other two outfielders are also in the slugger classification, and were counted upon during the season to bring in the vital runs on base. The pitching corps was made up of a formidable crew: Dick Lawless, Ed Olmo, Andy Conway, John Walsh, and Don Rebholtz. Dan Moriarty and Dick Bechelli were the backstops . The infielders were backed up by more than adequate replacements: Jerry Donovan, Len Heinz, Bob Vigo, and Pete Nossardi. Last year's coach, Bill Cunningham, acted as advisory coach this season.

The returning lettermen were Jim Graziani, Bud Flocchini, Gino Zepponi, Gardner Jacobs, Walt Lary, Len Puccinelli, Len Heinz, Mike Opalenik, Ed Crossetti, and Dave Davini. TEAM In addition to defending their San Francisco Rifle Association championships, the team was also invited back to El Paso, Texas, to shoot their way back to the top of the Southwest Invitational Rifle Tournament which they had done the season before. Captain Arthur Meranski, coach of the team, led the sharpshooters to 17 straight wins before accepting a bid to the Southwest Invitational. I IGNATIANS Backfield (loft to right): T. Wal h, Travorai, Sanchez, Otani. Line (left to right): Castagnetto. McCarthy, Rizzo, McCaffrey. Baggiani, Mackall, Storott. The Ignatians finished on top of the dog-eat-dog league only because their coach, Dick Huxley, demanded—and got—a tough all-around club. Dave Traversi, who could run as well as pass, was aided by end Bill Sterett and halfbacks Chuck Crotty and Tom Walsh, the latter an almost unanimous All-League selection. The forward behemoths were Larry McCaffrey, A1 Rizzo and Jack Mackall. Dale Bonnett gave outstanding service to his team until a broken ankle sidelined him for a good part of the season. The Ignatians played the Berchmans in the last game of the season which became a championship battle due to a tie in the standings. This game, however, ended in a deadlock, and the Ignatians became champions because of their early season victory over the Berchmans. BERCHMANS Coach Joe Scudero gave fastidious attention to his team and with a break somewhere along the line could have walked off with the championship crown. His team finished in an actual tie with the Ignatians, as far as records go, but it had to contend with a second-place post because it had lost to the champs at the outset of the season. The outstanding men on this team were Larry Del Santo, 210 lbs. of fullback, and Bill Ferrero, a 185 lb. guard built close to the ground. The talented and vicious line consisted of Jim Ruane, Ted Demos, Tony Mayta, Paul Collins, and Ed Walsh, among others. The backfield was the largest in the league and included Rick Arellano, Bill Dunne, Dick Walsten, and the aforementioned Del Santo. Coal miner Walt Roland, who hails from Pennsylvania, amazed the crowds with his tricky spread formation. His club, the Loyolans, started fast but soon crumbled because of the recurrent bugaboo, injuries. Their infirmary list made up an almost complete football squad: Guard Fred Meier, Quarterback Herb Haskins, Halfbacks John Cunningham. Tom Healy and John Becker, and End Jerry Lane. Those who did remain on the club gave above average performance on the grid; only superiority of numbers wore them down week after week. The Loyolans' star performer was Dick Zabriskie, triple threat halfback and unanimous selection to the All-Star twelve. George Schilling, Phil O'Connor and Bill Newsom were outstanding linemen.

Hal Sachs, center on USF's varsity grid team of 1951, handled the coaching duties of the Vigilantes. Hal initiated the V formation for his team, which had the fullback lining up behind the right guard on offense. Ace Quarterback Dick Bechelli sparked the team by taking advantage of skyscraping Dan Moriarty's pass receiving from a flanker position and of shifty Jay Lounibos at halfback. Ed Collins, Tom Thomasser, Lou Disanto, and Frank Riley opened the holes for the backs. Outstanding on defense were Len Heinz, Ed Crosetti, and Jim Fales. The Vigilantes started out as top team in the league but lost their rating about half way through the schedule mainly because of injuries. INTRAMURAL ALL-STAR FOOTBALL TEAM The following 12 men were chosen by a selection committee composed of the Intramural Football Commissioner, Lt. Col.

Looking forward fo thoir most successful season, the six men above represent ono of the school’s stronger teams in past years. (1-r): Smith. Conlan, Demas. Petersen. Dcbro, Raab. The cry “Anyone for tennis? was greeted with a resounding answer from six returning lettermen, who in early season formed one of the top collegiate tennis teams in the Bay Area. Last year USF netters ranked behind California and Stanford, and this time out hoped to gain the top position. Seth Petersen. Jim Demas, Julius Debro, Jerry Conlan and Ken Raab were the returnees, while Stan Smith, star of two years ago, came back after a serious back injury to bolster the starting quintet. Petersen is number one in the singles and, teaming with Jim Demas, is also defender of the doubles crown. Home and home games had been scheduled with Stanford, California, San Jose State, Modesto Junior College, and one game against San Francisco State. Traditional competition with College of the Pacific did not materialize when the Tigers failed to form a tennis aggregation on the intercollegiate level. THE GAMES COMMITTEE The Games Committee this year was ably led by head yell leader Joe Erlach. The crew was about the smallest in numbers since the past five years, but their energy-and output were still indicative of the task that had been entrusted them. They were present at all home basketball games, journeyed down the Peninsula to Stanford and to San Jose, carried out the Freshman Orientation Program smoothly, albeit painfully for the frosh. Their top performance of the year was seen at the final basketball game of the season. First Row (1-r); J. Castagnetto, G. Altamirano, R. Ainslie, R. Ferrando. Socond Row ( -r): R. Fazzio, }.

During both World Wars, many of the former students of the earlier St. Ignatius College, the later University of San Francisco, as well as St. Ignatius High School served in the Armed Forces. In such a time of trial it was fitting that special spiritual help be asked for those alumni fighting for their country. Tuesday evening, February 22, 1944, Washington's Birthday, a Religious Patriotic Service of Remembrance was held in St. Ignatius Church. A Solemn Military Mass followed, sung by virtue of war time privilege by Reverend James J. Lyons in his capacity of Chaplain of the local military unit being trained at the University of San Francisco. The President of the University, Father William Dunne, delivered the sermon.

Ehrmann Gaol Gibson Patricia Roller Margaret Frago Sharon Whicher Jeannette Caeton Joan Elliott Ophelia Quintara Tod Demos, Class President There is no one word or phrase that can adequately describe the many achievements duly accredited to the class of 1953. The men of 1953 have distinguished themselves, both as individuals and as a class through their major contributions to the academic, athletic, religious and social activities of the University. It was while we were going through the agonies of our first registration that we were welcomed as new babes” by being informed that, once again, dinks were a must for freshmen. The freshman athletic teams were providing the experience that would make the varsity stars of tomorrow. Our second and third years were marked by an increased tempo in school activities. The soccer team gained wide recognition as the national Co-Champion. Many of us followed what was to be our first and only undefeated, untied, football team to Stockton, Los Angeles, and even to Idaho. The giant car parade to the Oakland airport and the subsequent homecoming weekend will be difficult to forget. It was also during our third year that we witnessed the inauguration of the popular Schola Cantorum under the auspices of the University's Music Department. In the spring of the same year the majority of the men of '53 began to make preparations for a six weeks' stay in Texas or Virginia as guests of Uncle Sam. Frank Riley was elected Student Body President to climax a campaign which mirrored the enthusiasm which was to prevail in our last and big year on the Hilltop. It was only a short time after our return in September that Ted Demos was elected as the last of our class presidents. All-Coast Guard Phil Vukicevich with his fellow senior team mates was instrumental in leading the Dons to a co-championship in the newly formed California Basketball Association. The Senior Banquet was the first of our four major functions. The Senior Ball and Exclusive followed and our stay on the Hill was terminated by the Senior Retreat at El Retiro. May all the ideals and aims of Christian men which we have been striving to attain be with us always! Jack Connelly. Vice-President Carl Re'. Secretary-Treasurer Ed Hurley.

KALLNER Nursing Petu. Illinois Take a quick look at school activity and you're more than likely to find the roster studded with the names of members of the class of '54. Led by lanky class president Rich Holl, the Juniors have made their presence felt in all phases of University life. At the head of the Executive Council table, Dorn Tarantino served as vice-president, along with Recording Secretary Gerry Desmond, Corresponding Secretary Rick Arellano, and Head Yell Leader Joe Erlach. Other Juniors at the meetings of the school governing body were President Holl and Representatives Ed Antognoli and Phil O'Connor. Theater-goers were long on praise for Third-year men Ted Moore, Dom Tarantino, Joe Bellan, Ed Antognoli and John Collins who emoted for Stu Ben net's College Players. Junior John Cavanagh became well known in Bay Area college circles with his often controversial but always entertaining Hilltop Lowdown,'' and Editor Phil O'Connor drove assistants Walt Bernard and Ed Antognoli and his staff to meet the deadline for the Yearbook which you are now reading. Sportswise, the Juniors provided the soccer team with such luminaries as Bill Cox, Bill Herup, Maurie Beatty, Lenny Heinz and many others. Frank Evan-gelho, Clem Korte, Carl Lawson and Jerry Harrington cavorted for the basketball squad. Baseball season saw stellar performances by Dick Bechelli, Jerry Donovan, Don Rebholtz and Heinz. The track team benefited by the presence of Bob Cantwell, Tony Mayta, Jerry DeRyan, George Daskarolis and De Wood. In Intramural play, the class of '54 was too numerous to mention. Highlight of the Junior's social calendar was Junior Week climaxed by a very successful Prom held at the Sportsman's Lodge down Peninsula way. The three-year men were also very well represented in the various clubs on campus, from St. Ives to The Math Club. Besides participating in activities and carrying the omnipresent academic load, the men of '54 found time to follow the ball clubs to such distant places as Seattle, and to be seen at the more lavish affairs given by the girls' colleges in the vicinity. With such an enviable record behind '54 looks forward to the challenge offered by its coming Senior year.

Marked by a poor start, the Sophs pushed over a most successful class dance and also entered into many other ac-tivities. Led by the class officers, President John Castagnetto, Vice President Stan Buchanan, Secretary-Treasurer Tony Da vi, and Representatives Paul Collins and Ray Healy, the luture upperclassmen can be sure ol a successful senior year in celebrating USF's centennial anniver- sary.

This year’s Soph Drag was held in the Crystal Room of the beautiful Bellevue Hotel on the evening of November 14, 1952. The dance committee, headed by Class President John Castagnetto, worked diligently to make this dance one of the best of the year, both in the financial and social departments. Music was provided by the well known Jimmy Blass orchestra, which helped to make the dance the great success it was. No little difficulty faced the second year men in their preparations for this affair. Originally the Drag had been slated for the luxurious Meadow Club in Marin County, but at the last minute the management of the original dance setting terminated the contract, leaving the Sophs high and dry. Faced with the problem of obtaining another ballroom in less than the week that remained before the selected date, the committee displayed an ingenuity and taste that characterized all the activities of the Sophomore class and came up with the plush, chandeliered Crystal Room.

A great social and financial success, the affair owes much to the hard working committee headed by President Perkins. The incoming class of next September will do well to set their standards by those established this year by the men of '56. Ray Perkins William Boodle Angelo Dovincenzi Frank Noonan FROSH The class of 1956 bounced back from the initiation program imposed on them by the upper classes and went on to become one of the most active classes in the University. An energetic group of officers, led by genial president Ray Perkins, has guided the Frosh through the difficult first year with an impressive record. In every phase of student endeavor, the Freshmen were very much in evidence sports, dramatics, clubs, and student government.

SCHOLA CANTORUM Dr. Giovanni Camajani Director Rev. James J. Lyons. S.J. Moderator Adrian Sunshine Assistant to the Director I With the hearty approval of the leading patrons of music in San Francisco, the Schola Cantonum was founded in January 1952. Its personnel comprises students and teachers from the various Bay Area colleges together with singers and business executives of every race and creed. In its first season of activity, it has given five performances—two at the War Memorial Opera House-receiving unqualified praise from a skeptical public and critical press. Together with a spectacular choir of brass instruments and full symphonic ensemble, it has programmed music of the Baroque and Renaissance masters as well as items from the repertoire of contemporary composers. Press Comments: —A performance of well-nigh miraculous effectiveness... one of the things I ho local concert scene hos long noedad. —Plaudits to the University of San Francisco for the establishment of Its Schola Cantorum ... a cultural asset and line acquisition to the community musical life. —Uncommonly line choral diction . . . remarkable for Its precision of attack, gootf tonality and fine choral diction. Gathered up tho splendor and magnificence of Catholic worship. Tough Game But I don't like it black! Shocshine ®a® A Look Backwards — The year opened with a touch of hesitancy on most everyone's part, for there was no way of predicting the outcome of a Fall semester without a football season. But hesitant and unsure as everyone was, there was no choice but to plunge in and make the best oj this new situation. In the innumerable registration lines everyone joked self-consciously about the semester's outcome and there were as many predictions—mostly pessimistic —as there were students. As the year revealed, however, the pessimism was needless. Both fall and spring social seasons were as good, if not better, than any that had ever been produced by football. The ASUSF operated at a greater profit than had been realized for several years. And the number of students participating in sports nearly tripled due to a mammoth intramural set-up. Oddly enough, it was the pre-season pessimists who were the first to join in the chorus proclaiming the school year 1952-1953 to be one of the best ever. The machinery of this surprising year was put into gear on the eighth day of September with the rigid observance of Schola Brevis for the first two days of instruction. The highlight of those early weeks was the Frosh Initiation Program. It turned out to be the best in years. An energetic Games Committee put the muttering fledglings through a restrained but thorough hazing. And to top it off, a marvelous stunt, which will probably develop into a tradition at USF in the years to come, was carried off. As the annual Mass of the Holy Ghost let out, the Games Committee lined up all the dink wearers along the side of St. Ignatius Church, handed the musically inclined a couple of drums, and then marched the entire throng up to Lone Mountain where the Freshmen were made to kneel before the front door and serenade the delighted lasses. The Freshmen understandably played a large part in the success of the 52-53 year for the final registration figures showed they totaled a startling 315 —the largest Freshman enrollment in over four years. For the University those figures were a very good omen; they proved conclusively that a football team isn't necessary in order to attract students. A great year is undeniably the product of a smooth-functioning Executive Council. Its members are probably the best known students on the campus. Their names and pictures are in the Foghorn week after week and they seem never to leave the campus. The main Frosh personality was the class president, Ray Perkins, a soft-spoken, dark-haired, bespectacled Lowell High grad. His election was significant because it marked the first time in a decade that the post wasn't taken by a St. Ignatius alumnus. However, the same post for the Sophomores was grabbed off by an S.I. man— John Castagnetto, a smiling, good-natured, good-looking Irishman. Time to go? Family Portrait . . . And not a drop to drink Say, who's throwing this party? Back door to Lone Mountain Fort Eustis Country Club Smile, boyaf The Juniors produced a married man for class prexy. He was Rich Holl, a tall, pleasant spoken, business administration major. Under his direction the defunct Junior Week was put back on the calendar with a fast-paced, week-long schedule of events. A short, swarthy fellow won the Senior reins in an upset election victory. With more events to manage than the other class presidents, Ted Demos made a very creditable showing for his first appearance in public office. These four men along with the two representatives from each class composed the majority of the Council. The remaining members composed what is called the “Top Table, the Student Body officers. Reading from left to right as they appeared at the head of the table each Tuesday noon, they were: Dick Nachtsheim, Foghorn representative. The efficient, twenty-five year old, ex-Army officer, had a unique ability of bringing order out of the chaos of parliamentary business. Joe Erlach, head yell leader. A handsome Junior of German extraction, the spiritmaker of USF headed the bustling Games Committee. Rick Arellano, corresponding secretary. The smooth-talking Latin Junior kept a tight grip on inter-school relations between USF and the Bay Area's Catholic Women's Colleges. Dorn Tarantino, vice-president. A thoroughly capable politician and worker, the junior business administration student did an outstanding job as overall social chairman of the University. Frank Riley, president. Holder of the top post in the school, gavel-wielder Riley exuded personality and turned in a creditable performance in the ASUSF's toughest post. Jerry Desmond, recording secretary. The hard-working Junior headed up tha Club President's Council in addition to keeping the minutes of the Council. Al Baggiani, treasurer. The genial Senior had the pleasure of balancing the administration's books and showing a profit. Bill Kern, NFCCS Senior delegate. The big, smiling Irishman was vice-president of the NFCCS Northern California region and provided many of the laughs at the weekly meetings of the Execs. Bob Ainslie, chairman of the Board of Student Control. The man with th9 longest title on the Council took over the post in December when the original chairman, Barney Blackmore, was inducted into the Army. This was the Executive Council; these were the men that guided and arranged all the events and activities that were to add up to one of the greatest years that USF had ever seen. The social year opened with a real Hawaiian bang in the Whitcomb Hotel. Well over four hundred couples jammed into a large, hot room one September night for several hours of dancing and mingling. It was the ASUSF sponsored Aloha Dance in honor of the Freshman newcomers, and Hawaiian shirts and dresses were the order of the evening. Ray Fazzio, Chairman of the dance, had overlooked no means of insuring a great time for everyone and a 1 a.m. check room scramble was the only unpleasant note of the evening. Prince Charming Arrivos Position oi the Soldior at Attention The second week of October was a busy one. It was labeled Junior Week and was highlighted by three events. The first was the Junior Class Banquet at the Montclair Restaurant in North Beach. Though the site was far from being what you would call sumptious, the attending third-year men didn't let it faze them. The following three nights saw the College Players presenting their first production of the year, Tennessee William's tense drama. “The Glass Menagerie.” A newcomer to the campus, Tom Hamil, walked off with starring honors and Frank Riley, in a minor role, proved that there was still another side to his versatile nature. Bringing the week to a close on Saturday night v as the traditional Junior Prom. Two hundred couples filled the Peninsula's exclusive Sportsman’s Lodge for an evening of the forced gaiety invariably brought on by formal attire. The males drank, talked, and tugged at their stiff-fronted shirts; the females drank, gossiped, and tugged at their strapless formals. Everyone claims a good time was had. A Foghorn columnist claims that close to five thousand dollars was spent by the two hundred couples for one evening's entertainment. The following weekend, USF put the mixer shoe on the other foot and threw a return dance for the women's colleges in the school auditorium. As usually happens when USF throws a mixer there were more girls than boys, thereby producing a quantity of frustrated females and satiated males. In spite of the unequal ratio, the smoothest student dance band produced by USF in many years convinced all that the Dons should hold mixers more often. The band v as under the leadership of A1 Garrigues and provoked a large degree of its popularity by a heavy leaning towards Stan Kentonish dance arrangements. If anything, the boys were a little on the “bop” side. But October was more than just a time of dances and parties. It was the time of the annual student retreat and it marked the opening.of USF's first intramural football season. The retreat took place in the third week of October and ran for four days under the inspired direction of the retreat master, Fr. Andrew Boss, S.J. It enabled students new and old to get their values and aims set straight while the school year was still young. Following the concluding Mass of the retreat was the inaugural game of the intramural football league. Several hundred fans crowded around the side lines on the athletic field—renamed the “Don Bowl” by the Foghorn -and watched the Loyolans salvage a one touchdown victory from the Ignatians. It was a beautiful sunny day and Senior Dick Domeno amused the fans with his facetious play calling and half-time ceremonies over the p. a. system. Alter that, the games followed at the rate of two a week. October concluded with the science department's annual Halloween Dance in the USF auditorium. An informal affair, it was a whopping financial success. Over five hundred persons jammed into the small, inadequately-proportioned auditorium. This unusually crowded atmosphere hindered real enjoyment and a few outsiders found their way into the dance with trouble ensuing. As a result, it was this dance that brought a long standing, though latent, problem to a head. Something would have to be done to control the size of dances held on campus. Over-large crowds in such confined quarters could only lead to trouble. The Executive Council subsequently passed a motion limiting the Frogmen Who’s got a Ukc? Date Tonight? Whore’s the B.S.C.? Mount Yor Critters Look the Birdio attendance for all future on-campus dances to two hundred persons. And to eliminate the presence of crashers'' student body cards would henceforth be required for admission. Two weeks later found a group of Sophomores putting on their annual Soph Drag that, up to dance time, looked as if it were going to flop. But, as things turned out, the affair made expenses and even cleared several dollars profit. The Drag was staged at the old Bellevue Hotel located on the edge of the theater district. The Bellevue was a last minute substitute for the Meadow Club in Fairfax. The Marin establishment backed out on the original agreement after a Cal frat tore the place apart one night. But the Drag was reasonably enjoyable and tuxes and formals were given a good airing, so it wasn't a wasted night. The Foghorn began attracting a bit of attention along about November. The first six issues of the year had been tabloid size. Students and faculty alike protested loudly at such an unimpressive news sheet. Finally, the old size was restored with a bonus width of one extra column over the previous year. Then, in the Spring, the Foghorn went beyond everyone's expectations and expanded to a big six pages a week. November also saw the renaming of the barracks” for outstanding alumni-Up to then the student residences had only been numbered. The buildings were given the names of Benedetti Hall, Fisk Hall, Telesmanic Hall, and Gill Hall. To most students, however, the halls remained simply the barracks.” For that's what they had been, still were, and would always be. November's third week saw the College Players round out the semester drama schedule with a highly-humorous production of George Washington Slept Here. Old-timers Betty Bennett and Dave Devincenzi were the leads but it was a slightly-built, unknown Junior who drew the bravos at the end of the last act. Little Joe Bellan completely stole the play from the other principals with his sidesplitting interpretation of a slow-witted rustic. A week later the ROTC department broke down and let the cadets wear their uniforms for an evening at the Presidio Officer's Club. The occasion was the yearly Military Ball. Everyone had a good time, but the unaccustomed khaki added a sober, thought-provoking note to the night. Then, on the first day of December, the long-awaited basketball season got off to an inglorious start with a close decision to Stanford. But the loss didn't hinder enjoyment at the little” rally dance arranged by the ASUSF as a warmup for the California game. Thrown in the vast confines of Seaman's Union Hall, the dance didn't seem too crowded but there must have been a few people on hand for the receipts for the one evening totaled an amazing two thousand dollars. The next night the hoopsters tcok their romp over to Berkeley where they lost Number 2 in their ultimate seven game loss streak. Over that same weekend a well-intentioned, but anemic, Homecoming program limped through its pre-arranged paces and then quietly slinked off to a suitably dark corner to wait another year before venturing forth again. Everyone hoped it would regain its health by that time. The 1952 social season came to a close with the staging of the Rose of Deltasig Ball at the Mark Hopkins Hotel during Christmas vacation. This affair brought to the foreground the second of the school year's trio of queens. (The first was Snow Bunny All aboard Queon and Court I want a balloon, Daddy Only Ovomight? Tense moment at Eugeno Rip Van Winkle the Queen of the Military Ball.) The newest Rose was a lass by the name of Dee Hardy. She happened to be a student at San Francisco State College, but nobody held it against her. 1953 opened with the Senior Class Banquet the evening of the last day of final examinations. A large turn-out of students and faculty imbibed the proper spirit and succeeded in properly launching the schedule of graduating-senior events. A half-month inter-semester vacation then followed until Spring registration got under way the first week of February. As the semester opened the eager pre-legal students called themselves barristers for an evening and really had a ball. A five-piece band rocked the pile-supported floor of the bayside Ariel Club during the four-hour-long Barrister's Ball. It served as a perfect warm-up for the following weekend. Mardi Gras! It was big, it was colorful, and, above all, it was highly successful. The February weekend saw over 2000 people swarm through the five northern rooms of the Fairmont Hotel with 1500 of the total accounted for on Saturday night alone. Tv o big name orchestras provided the music; three thousand dollars worth of prizes were awarded during the two nights; and an enchanting Lone Mountainette, Mary Heidt, reigned over the affair as Queen of the Mardi Gras.” It was undeniably the high spot of the year. As February drew to a close, attention shifted to the Don basketballers who were wrapping up their season. In quick succession they suffered their first league loss at the hands of San Jose State, a week later lost the season finale to Santa Clara, and thereby settled for a tie with the Broncos as CBA champions and forfeited all chance for an NCAA bid. Things were rather quiet the next few weeks but the Frosh Fandango broke the Lenten solemnity in the middle of March. The site was the traditional Empire Room of the Sir Francis Drake Hotel. As has been happening for many years the Fandango was the most successful of the year's formal dances. But the year was rapidly nearing its end. The remainder of the social calendar, was in honor of the graduating Seniors with the exception of an ASUSF-expense-paid picnic for the entire student body at Adobe Creek on the 27th of April. That same month the gigantic Senior Ball exploded at the Corinthian Yacht Club over Marin County way. The largest formal turnout of the year was a fitting Bon Voyage” to the June graduates. And that's just about it. May was mostly a last minute rush to finish term papers get ready for exams, and make preparations for the summer. Sunday, June 7, was the formal close of the school year 1952-53. Two hundred Seniors in black gowns and mortarboards crossed the stage at the War Memorial Opera House to receive their diplomas before a full house of families and friends. For them college days were over. They would go their separate ways—some into the Army; others into business—a little wiser, a little more mature than when they had entered USF in the Fall of 1949. Regardless of what they had learned or how much they had learned, they were certain to carry with them a satisfying memory of a great four years in an even greater University. To them we say—ADIOS! “We answered the plea and donated our blood” For weeks the Scabbard and Blade Club of USF prepared to contribute their own blood and encouraged other students to sacrifice a few minutes and a few drops of blood for GI's fighting in Korea, many of whom are former Dons. Last year USF united in a combined effort that brought a representative showing of which we could certainly be proud. It was the first time that such an exhaustive effort had been carried out; it was an overwhelming success. This year. Colonel Guy Stubbs, commanding officer of the ROTC on the Hilltop, cooperated fully with the Donation committee as he did last year. On September 30th the Red Cross arrived. Students lined up in the lounge, shed their coats and began to roll up their sleeves. The line continued all day, keeping nurses busy taking blood and serving orange juice. Instructors winked at the unusual number of absences caused by students fulfilling their appointments. By noon, when most students are usually wending their way to downtown jobs, lines of students still existed. As the students lay on the couches, sipping orange juice, they gazed toward the ceiling, probably thinking of the day when they themselves could use a pint of blood.
