r i t i£ust Wiatmhnp REV. JOHN P. O ' CONNELL, S. J. Vice-President FACULTY REV. WILLIAM CGI AN ERA, S.J. Dean of the Faculties REV. JAMES H. STREHL, S.J Superintendent of Grounds and Buildings GEORGE L. SULLIVAN Dean of the College of REV. JAMES J. DEASY, S.J. Dean of Men Foreword I HE spirit and accomplishments of the students of the University of Santa Clara during the year I 94 1 - 1 942 will never be recorded in the form of the traditional yearbook, The Redwood. The conditions of uncertainty and the necessity for frugality, arising from the demands of the nation ' s war effort, made the publication of the 1942 edition an Inadvisable ven- ture. In compliance with the greater interests of our country, Santa Clara students have sacrificed most willingly one of their most treasured pos- sessions, realizing at the same time that no adequate substitute could be found for the university yearbook. As a pictorial representation of the achievements of every class and organization, The Redwood served to recall to the graduate the years of scholastic life and to assist him to live again the days on this campus. The loss of the 1942 Redwood was felt most by the graduating class for it is to the seniors that the yearbook holds its greatest appeal. To prevent their singular contribution to Santa Clara life from going un- recorded, the Class of 1942 united In the common purpose of publishing a senior book. Devoted entirely to the graduates, the Last Roundup is neither intended to replace The Redwood nor to imitate it on a smaller scale. The yearbook, alone, can capture the spirit of Santa Clara men. The Redwood is not dead; it will live again to record In Its pages achieve- ments of future successful years. In rounding up the Broncos of I 942 for the last time, the editors of the senior book have endeavored to preserve, In a small measure, their signal success in spiritual, academic, and athletic pursuits. It Is to the graduating class of 1942 and its outstanding contribution to the honor and prestige of the University of Santa Clara that The Last Roundup is respectfully dedicated. EDITORIAL BOARD: D.

McDERMID PUNCOCHAR MANDLER RUFF MICHAEL SHEEHAN Men of ' 42 Answer Call to Duty When the graduates of the Class of 1942 are awarded their degrees on Commencement Day, they will be justly proud for they will have completed four years of academic endeavor. That pride, however, will not be unmixed with regret for the entire senior class will not be the recipients of diplomas. Ten members, who during their final collegiate year offered their services to the fighting forces of the United States, will not appear at the commencement exercises. Answering without complaint their call to duty as patriotic Americans, these men were unable to complete their college course which was only a few short months from its termination. Santa Clara is proud of the Class of 1942, but probably she is more proud of these ten men who were among the first to enter the service of the country. Outstanding members of an illustrious class, they made a contribution to the honor of the university at the greatest personal sacrifice. On commence- ment day, their names will not be forgotten for their unselfish patriotism and courage will be a living example and consolation to their classmates. BEGSS CARDWELL PETERSEN POPPiN CASANESA STANFEL DEWING THORNTON BRONCOS 1938-1942 During their years of intercollegiate -football eligibility, the gridders of the Class of ' 42 have done much to maintain the prestige and honor of Santa Clara football gained by the Sugar Bowl conquests of 1936 and 1937. During their varsity careers, the boys, pictured above, have participated in 26 intercollegiate grid contests. The record book shows 17 wins, 5 losses, and 3 ties for Santa Clara in that period. As Freshmen, they started their football career at Santa Clara in an au- spicious manner by going through a five game schedule unbeaten, untied, and unscored upon. They were heralded by Bay Region sport critics as the greatest Colt eleven ever produced in the prune valley, after handing the St. Mary ' s Yearlings a 44 to trouncing in their final game. Most notable of the achievements of these men in varsity football is the fact that the men of ' 42 are the only class In Santa Clara ' s history to hold an un- broken string of victories over the Broncos traditional rivals, the St. Mary ' s Gaels. The first year of their varsity competition saw the Broncs score a 7 to decision. The next season, the Broncs again proved victorious 19 to 7. And last Fall they completely humiliated the Gael by handing him a record smashing 35 to I 3 defeat. Against Santa Clara ' s other traditional grid foes, the three year record of the footballers of ' 42 is equally n ' mpressive. They hold two wins and one tie with the University of San Francisco, U.C.L.A. and Michigan State. The only rival to hold an edge on these men Is Stanford who has captured two out of the three contests. In Intersectional competition, the gridders of ' 42 have chalked up five wins and two ties as against two losses. These men, also, figured prominently In Santa Clara ' s smashing triumph over California last Fall In the renewal of that rivalry. Individual honors on the team went to Ken Casanega and Rupe Thornton who were picked by the Shrine Committee as members of the West Eleven which gave the Eastern All Stars their annual beating last January In New Orleans. Picked as team captain at the conclusion of last season was Bill Beggs, a three year letter winner, who was named on most all coast selections last Fall. Others of the class of ' 42 who received the coveted white sweater as a token of earning three varsity football letters are Ken Casanega, Rupe Thornton, George Poppin, and Frank Petersen. v ' % y i MANGAN BASKETBALL BASEBALL The period of the Class of ' 42 ' s slay on the Mission campus saw Santa Clara basketball gain nation-wide fame. In this period, the Broncs made their first appearance on the Eastern seaboard where they established themselves as a favorite with the fans by the sensational brand of play which they displayed. They played twice in the world- famed, Madison Square Garden, and proved vic- torious both times. Santa Clara ' s record in the 1939-40 season of 18 wins and 3 losses gained for them a place among the nation ' s leading quintets. Again in the 1940-41 season the Broncos record of 18 victories and 7 defeats placed the name of Santa Clara high in the national basketball ratings. Graduation in 1941 took the major portion of Santa Clara ' s basketball talent. Consequently, the 1941-42 team was somewhat hampered by the lack of experienced players. hHowever, in spite of this fact, the 1941-42 group ended the season with the commendable record of 10 wins and 9 defeats. Dur- ing the past season, the Broncs captured both the St. Mary ' s and U.S.F. series, and are one of the two teams in the nation to hold a victory over the Na- tional Intercollegiate Champions, Stanford. The boys pictured above, Dick Mangan and Leo Murphy, were the only experienced men on last season ' s five, and received the honor of being elected co-captains of the team. Mangan and Murphy made both barnstorming trips to the At- lantic seaboard, and each earned three letters dur- ing his varsity basketball career. Baseball has been on the continual upgrade at Santa Clara since the matriculation of the Class of ' 42 at the Mission University. After a decade in the second division of the California Intercollegiate Baseball League, Santa Clara rose to the position of a definite title contender this Spring. V ' Ith a record of 10 wins and 5 defeats in Lea- gue competition, the Bronco batsmen finished the season in third place, a scant one game behind California and two behind the winners, the Univer- sity of Southern California. The Spring season saw Santa Clara take three straight contests from their arch rivals, St. Mary ' s. The Broncos also made a clean sweep in the Stanford and U.C.L.A. series. The 1942 team broke the California jinx by taking one of the three games from the Bears. A slump on the southern trip, when they lost three straight to the Trojans, kept the Broncs from capturing the title. The two members of the Class of ' 42, pictured above, played a major role in Santa Clara ' s rise to the first division this season. Matula and Graham held down regular positions in the outfield. Graham ' s chief contribution was his superb fielding ability, while Matula proved himself the long range hitter of the nine. Both Matula and Graham held first string positions for two years during their college careers, and each received two block awards for his efforts.
