Th learning, that it progresses on a river of yo Yes and more — a whole long string of trut to the university as we know it. But doesn ' t these things, of reading them in yearbooks, t torian platforms? Of course, for people ah to truth. And that is a failing of mankind. But traditions exist and the keepers of t reiterating what has been said a thousand 1 be said. Only the way, the means of saying i shell, look inside. A.S.U.S.C. — five letters which mean so to so few. But why go into that? Leave the Just watch the letters grow. Watch how big for Dick Benenato, for Frank McEnaney, for Bob McLAinough, for Ron Schenone, for others. The Associated Students of the University of Santa Clara, they breathe the sweet air of knowledge. They yearn to lead. They will lead some day. Now most must follow as the clear-headed lead the clear-eyed. Paul Baldacci, W. Haley, Joe Agnello, Livio Borra, R. Gaul, J. Benenato, Reid Cerney, R.

DICK BENENATO Vice-President The wheels of student government spin. Sometimes a little friction but that can be fixed with oil in the right places. Usually the hum of harmony can be heard at council meetings, usually. The wheels go around and around and minds meet and things are done. The gavel is raised and pounds silence into thinking minds. Mr. Cerney speaks soft words and loud accom- plishments. Mr. Benenato is on his feet. He speaks out for activi- ties. It is his job. Mr. Benenato is a vet and he stands firm. The pen scratches while the mind glides. Mr. Mc- Enaney sends letters, receives letters. Mr. McEnaney of the quill is invaluable. Money, nut always tne roc. or evil, is oil. The wheels go around and Mr. McCullough oils them. Ordered thought is re-born in order. Mr. Schenone thinks and keeps the peace. The engineers are in place and the throttle is thrown. Pour on the coal, keep up the steam. The intel- lectual iron horse that is Santa Clara chugs to a slow September st art. It clears the comfort of the sum- mer depot and blasts off on a straight stretch of autumn track. Lots of thinking and planning finally pays off to the gratification of the freshman. The student ad- vistory board finally seats itself, rolls up its sleeves, begins. The future calls for mingling in society. Let us, by all means, mingle. Yes, it is true, there is an- other sex after all. The gavel comes down and minds hum and a committee is begun to look into the social well-being of students. Unswerving Tom McDermott is given a flexible committee with which to work. The contrast fits and soon boy meets girl on and off campus under the pleasant atmosphere of the dance. But the giant, football, is upon the scene. His followers must be pacified. The committee of the red sweater leaps to the call. St. Joseph and St. Clare smile down as their namesakes hold hands across a city. Head rally man Ed Vranizan keeps the banners held high. So traditions are established. More dances are given in the name of pigskin, one before the U.S.F. game — a swank affair at the Hotel St. Claire. Cheers for the social committee. Old rivals are dead and new ones must be found. Tears are shed for the Little-Big game. A thousand voices yell goodbye to St. Mary ' s. Santa Clara donates a grand football trophy to the University of San Fran- cisco as cheers echo in Kezar. U.S.F. goes through an undefeated season and quits football. Tears are again shed for old rivals. But football must end as do all good things. S.C. waves so long to the season. Old S.C.U. ' s heart is in the right place. The gavel pounds. There is a three-day charity drive. And the boys, after fishing around, manage to net 700 clams. The sophs prove altruists by digging up the most. Long-neglected chores are taken on by a few spirited Santa Clarans. The Student Council gives one such to Joe Parker. A trophy case with re-vamped trophies is established with tentative headquarters in the Admin- FRANK McENANEY Secretary 28
