The Story of Villanova ANY years ago, on October 31, 1841, to be exact, the story of Villanova began. This is indeed a red letter date in the history of the college, for on this day the Augustinian Fathers purchased the Belle Air estate, as it was then known, for the sum of eighteen thousand dollars. The ground upon which the college now stands was originally the property of John Rudolph, a prominent merchant of Philadelphia, and it was from him that the Augustinian Order purchased the present site of the college, together with the surrounding acreage. Ninety'three years ago a new college opened its doors to a limited number of students. It was the fulfillment of a dream that the Fathers had, one which concerned the higher education of Catholic men. The college, however, is non'sectarian in that it admits anyone of good moral character provided they present the proper credentials. The school being under Catholic auspices naturally follows that Church in its teaching principles and in the enrollment of its student body, but there is discrimination against no sect and fully fifteen per cent, of the student body is non-Catholic. On September 14, 1843 school was begun for those who wished to enjoy the benefits accruing from the pursuit of a higher education. The initial enrollment totaled six students. Two years later the enrollment had swelled to forty-five. The faculty consisted of three priests and four lay instructors. Classes were held in the Belle Air mansion which was located on the estate that had been purchased. The first floor was confined to classes, the second to the faculty, and the third to the students. Early in 1844 the first new college building was completed and the students commenced to make use of it immediately. The first prospectus of the college was issued about this time. In the summer of the same year a new chapel was erected and blessed on September 1. This was also used for classes on week-days. At this point in her advancement misfortune befell Villanova. The Know Nothing furor was at its height in Philadelphia and St. Augustine's Church in the city was burned. The expense incurred in the reconstruction of this edifice forced the college authorities to close the school. Consequently classes were dismissed and were not resumed until the following year. In 1846 the college was again opened, and the first public commencement was held in July, 1847. The Rev. J. A. O'Dwycr was president at this time. With him were associated Fathers Ashe, Kyle and Hartnett, also Messrs. Gibncy and Ainslcy, who were retained as lay professors. In the year 1848 a petition for a charter was made to the State Legislature and on March 10 of the same year the governor, Francis A. Shunk, signed “An Act to Incorporate the Augustinian College of Villanova in the County of Delaware and the State of Pennsylvania. By this charter the institution was empowered to grant degrees. At the same time the present College Seal was adopted and the Ecclesiastical School was inaugurated. The first of the present college buildings was completed in February, 1849, and Thirteen is known even today as Alumni Hall. It is the oldest building on the campus and houses the school of Commerce and Finance. In 1855 the Degree of Bachelor of Arts was conferred upon James F. Dooley and Henry C. Alexander, the first time that the college had exercised this power. Shortly after this date the college suffered its second financial crisis and was again forced to close its doors. On Commencement Day in 1857 the students were notified of this fact and bidden farewell. In September, 1865, classes were resumed under the presidency of the Rev. Wm. J. Mullen. The presidential chair was occupied during the succeeding years by Fathers Galbrey, Middleton and Coleman. The next development to be noted was the erection of a fitting chapel, the present beautiful Church of St. Thomas of Villa' nova. Father Coleman was succeeded by Father Sheeran and he in turn by Father McEvoy. Following the celebration of the Golden Jubilee of the College in June, 1893, the Monasterv and College Hall were erected. These buildings are now a part of the vest quadrangle of the college and house the Engineering Arts and Pre'Med. schools. The college developed rapidly from this point on. Under Fathers Dohan, Dean, Lriscoll, Hickey and Sullivan in successive order the work of improvement was carried on. St. Rita's Hall was rebuilt after having been destroyed by fire and the Academy building was completely renovated. In September, 1926, the Rev. James H. Griffin assumed the duties of President and he has held that important position ever since. In 1928 a disastrous fire swept the college and the institution has yet to recover from this misfortune. Two new buildings were constructed following the conflagration. The first of these was Fedigan Hall, a new dormitory; and the second, Mendel Hall, the present administration building. These two structures are modern in every detail and tend to create an ideal atmosphere for study. Having triumphed over disappointments of the past, Villanova is looking forward eagerly to the future. If its enrollment continues to increase but seven per cent, for the next ten years, Villanova will have nearly two thousand students. This year the increase was slightly more than seven per cent. Because of its organization into four individual schools, Villanova can double registration without sacrificing its “small college advantages. It is futile, however, to assume that Villanova can progress unless it receives outside assistance. If Villanova is to increase and develop the qualities t leadership in an increasing number of American youths, it must have assistance. Therefore, after a careful analysis of educational trends and Villanova's needs, the Augustinian Fathers prepared a program of development. The college is striving to reach a goal of two million three hundred thousand dollars to further its work. One of the most important items on the expansion program is the sponsoring of a revolving fund of five hundred thousand dollars for scholarship aid. Each year this W1 cnable many deserving youths, who otherwise could not get a college education, to attend Villanova. A new home is desired for the school of Commerce and Finance to replace the now crowded quarters in Alumni Hall. A library building is also p «mne to supplant the far too small library now quartered in the east end of Austin mm Fourteen Hall. A combined gymnasiunvauditorium is also imperative to remedy two deficiencies in the college 8 equipment. At the present time the college amphitheatre affords room for only two hundred students, it being impossible to assemble the entire student body for addresses. A dining hall to replace the present one is also planned, the building to be part of the proposed quadrangle. An endowment fund of eight hundred thousand dollars is part of the two million three hundred thousand dollar expansion campaign. A separate building will be constructed for use as a swimming pool for students of greater Villanova. The other building on the program is a dormitory. More than half the students live on the campus at the present time. Although Villanova is rich in tradition it lacks material endowment. It does have, however, a “living endowment which is embodied in the twentyTour clerical members of the teaching staff. This “living endowment constitutes only half of the faculty. The other professors and instructors are laymen of ability, conscientiously giving their best to their classes. It is planned, however, with the progress of the campaign to augument the teaching staff so that the number of students per instructor will be very low, thus affording a closer contact between professor and student, an advantage not found in the larger institutions. We feel sure that in a few years there will be a greater Villanova. It will be a larger college and, because of improved facilities, it will be a more efficient college. Not only will it be a college which is just as loyal as it is today and when it first opened its doors in 1843, but Villanova will be doing a great work for the advancement of Catholicism through the training of leaders.

The Trustees arc as follows: President Very Rev. Daniel A. Herron, O.S.A. Secretary Rev. Francis E. Tourscher, D.D., O.S.A. Treasurer Rev. John M. Fleming, A M., O.S.A. Procurator Rev. William J. McCormack, O.S.A. Rev. James H. Griffin, A M., L.L.D., O.S.A. Rev. James J. Hassen, O.S.A Mr. Philip A. Hart THE Board of Trustees of Villanova College is composed of six members of the clergy and one layman as mentioned above. This is in keeping with the policy of the college which was founded by the Augustinian Order and has been under their jurisdiction ever since. It was recently proposed to enlarge the membership in this body and the question is under consideration. Due to the rapid growth of the College in recent years it was thought advisable to admit a few outside individuals to this legislative body. These men will tend to help the College, for the ancient saying, “In numbers there is strength,” holds good here. Thiity-one —«HHB Greetings to 'the Class of 1930: My dear men, the time has come when your duties as students of Villanova draw to a close. You must leave her portals and embark upon the unknown sea of life. For four years you have been riding in harbor preparing for this voy' age. Now it is before you. It will be but a short time when you will be scattered and fading specks on the distant horizon, each drifting toward his goal. And your departure brings with it a comingled feeling of joy and sadness; Villanova is joyous because you have reached the goal for which you have been striving; sad because of the severing of cherished associations. Yet all things are passing. The moment of parting has come. Villanova bids you Farewell! She breathes it tenderly, earnestly, for it bears in its accent a blessing and a prayer—a blessing sought from God, to help you in your life voyage; a prayer that you shall ever be, as Catholic gentlemen, a credit to your parents and to your Alma Mater. Sincerely, Thirty-two President 'V Rev. Reullan Fink, O.S.A. Vice-President v- Rev. John J. Farrell, M.S., O.S.A. Prior t Rev. Howard Grelis, O.S.A. Prefect of Studies Rev. Wm. McCormick, O.S.A Burser Rev. Edw. V. Sanford, O.S.A Director of Religion Thirty'Seven School of Arts, Philosophy and Letters FOR the first fifty years of its existence, the name and history of the Classical School was synonymous with the history of the College itself. From the year 1843, at which time the College was founded, until the year 1905, which marked the inauguration of the School of Technology, the Arts School alone existed on the campus. From the meager enrollment of forty'five students in 1843 to the present date, the school has grown rapidly, until the enrollment for the year 1930 registers two hundred students. Under the guidance of Dean Howard A. Grelis, O.S.A., the school was brought to its highest perfection. The curriculum embraced additional subjects. The faculty was enlarged, and Villanova’s Art School began to gather prominence until it was held in enviable esteem throughout the country. The Art School has always been prominent in the various activities of the College. It has contributed men to the Belle Air Staff and to the Villanovan Staff, who have been a credit to these respective editorial staffs. The most representative deed of the Art School is the foundation and growth of the Epsilon Phi Theta fraternity. This is a brief dissertation on the history of the most prominent divi' sion of College, and it is certain that the School of Arts, Philosophy and Letters will remain preeminent in further development and growth of Villanova. During the present year Dean Grelis was forced to withdraw because of illness and the Rev. Eugene Mauch was appointed to serve as Prefect of Studies, and Dean of the School of Arts, Philosophy and Letters. Rev. Howard A. Grelis A.M., O.S.A. The School of Technology IN 1905, the inauguration of a School of Technology gave to Villanova the distinction of being the first Catholic college in the East to venture into the engineering field. The estab' lishment of this department has never since been regretted, for, in spite of its humble beginning, its growth was so rapid that at the present time, Villanova is recognized as one of the fore' most technical schools in the country. Since such recognition is not easily gained, the fact that Villanova possesses it, testifies to the high calibre of the men graduated from the engi' neering school, and to the value of the techni' cal training given them. Specialization in the various fields of the en' gineering profession has become more intensified during the past few years. The demand for men whose technical training has embraced all the parts of their chosen branch of engineering, is steadily increasing. The School of Technology at Villanova is well fitted for imparting such training to its students. To satisfy such demands and to keep pace with the everchanging requirements of the profession is the constant aim of the technical school. In order that this may be accomplished, however, it necessitates a wealth of equipment, in the form of modern machines, motors and mechanical appli- ances, together with other equipment for laboratories and drafting'rooms. Villanova is extremely fortunate in having as Dean of the technical school Carl T. Humphrey, a man honored for his ability as an engineer and teacher, and admired for his sterling character and pleasing personality. To him belongs the credit for the widespread recognition accorded to the scholastic standards of this school, since under his administration the re' quirements were made more rigid. With such a man remaining at the head of the department, the Villanova School of Technology must surely attain the success it so well deserves. Carl T. Humphrey S.B., M.S. DEAN Thirtyninc I School of Science T. Rev. Joseph M. Dougherty PH.D., O.S.A 'HE School of Science, although one of the youngest in the College, has grown so tre- mendously, that, today, it is the largest school on the campus. The school had its beginning in 1916, when some of the members of the School of Arts, anticipating a medical career, found them- selves not fully qualified in Pre-Medical require- ments. The authorities, at this juncture, recog- nized the need of scientific training, and formed the school of science, which has been recognized by the New York Board of Regents, the Amer- ican Association of Medical Colleges, and the State Board of Medical Licensers. Under the leadership of Father Fink, the first dean, the school grew and flourished until it became one of the leading schools on the campus. In 1926, when Father Fink assumed the duties of Vice-President, he was succeeded by Father Dougherty, Ph.D., under whose prudent guid- ance the School of Science has attained the lofty pinnacle which is con- ceded to it today. This is credited to the respect and and confidence of the entire student body, and the loyal co-operation of the entire faculty. The laboratories of Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Bacteriology, on the third and fourth floors of Mendel Hall, are second to none in the country. Besides all the essential facilities, the equipment for photo- micrography supplements the apparatus at the disposal of the science students. Among the recent innovations has been the establishment of Electro-Chemical, Mineralogical, and Psychological laboratories. The reputation of the School of Science is so widespread that, today, in almost all of the Medical Schools of the country, can be found gradu- ates of the Villanova School of Science. Forty School of Commerce and Finance V jM ; A LTHOUGH the youngest school on the campus the School of Commerce and Fi' nance boasts one of the largest enrollments in the college and bids fair to become more firmly established in future years. The year 1922 witnessed the inception of this school under the able direction of Rev. Joseph Bartley, O.S.A., who had been the recip' ient just a short time before of his doctor's degree from the Catholic University in Wash' ington. From a beginning, which promised nothing, Dr. Bartley has moulded, after eight years of sincere effort, an organization which compares favorably with the leading Catholic business schools of the country. Surrounding himself with a capable faculty and presenting a wide variety of courses, his keen insight and powerful intellect have been instrumental in securing for the School of Commerce and Finance the prestige that it now enjoys. Among the major courses now listed in the curricula of this school are those in Real Estate, Insurance, Brokerage, Foreign Trade, Transport tation and Accounting. This course also includes a thorough grounding in economic principles and business ethics. It has been the aim of Dr. Bartley to present to the student a list of courses that are conductive to specialization. He has labored incessantly to achieve such a goal and we know that it is but a question of time until this school will attain a stand' ing of national fame. Rev. J. C. Bartley, Ph D.. O.S.A. Dean Forty'onc Rev. Dennis Kavanaugh, S.T.R., O.S.A. Dean PREVIOUS to the year of 1848 those young men who had received the Divine Call and who wished to study for the priesthood found it necessary to go to foreign fields in order to pursue their life's calling. However, in the year 1848 there was founded an Ecclesiastical School at Villanova that these same young men might study at home. It was just six years after the Art School had been inaugurated that the Ecclesiastical School was established The founding of this Theological School was a necessary step if Villanova was to keep pace with the requirements of her students. From the time of its infancy the school has forged ahead with rapid strides although not without bitter struggles. The progress and development, the sacrifice and generosity, as well as the hardships encountered and always willingly en- dured by the Augustinian Fathers were only steps leading to a greater achievement. Today the school stands as a monument of glory for those who have made it possible. That our faith might be perpetuated was always the paramount cause of the founders. The first Professor of the Theological School was Father Hartnett, who at the time was also Vice-President of the College He taught Moral Philosophy and Theology. The first cleric at Villanova was Charles Egan, a native son of Cork, Ireland. Received into the novitiate on May 18, 1848, he was followed closely by Rev. Michael F. Gallagher on August 15th of the same year. Rev. F. X. McGowan's “Historical Sketch of St. Augustine's Church, Philadelphia,'' states that Patrick A. Stanton was a theological student at Villanova in 1847. Father Stanton was a native of Castlebar, Ireland. The first ordination to be held took place on All Saints' Day in 1857, Brother Crane being the one to receive this distinction.

Foley The Undergraduate Council THE Undergraduate Council is that judicial group of students who govern the activities of their fellow classmen. Although it has been in existence for several years never has the council functioned with the same degree of consistency and power as during the present term. Acting as the medium between faculty and student body it has been of the utmost benefit to both. Many Villanova men are ignorant of the numerous controversies that are settled before this tribunal. The council is composed of seventeen members and its purpose is to safeguard the traditions, customs and rcgU' lations of the college and to punish any violations of the same. Fifty-five EAf| ? O We release you but on this condition that you shall no longer be philosophers . . —Plato. Class Message THE time has come for another group of Viilanova men, the Class of 1930, to become members of her vast Alumni body. We should endeavor as we stand upon the threshold of life to appreciate what the college has done for us and to realize that we are indebted to Viilanova both as individuals and as members of the Class of 1930. Let us embark upon our various occupations with these thoughts constantly in mind. During our undergraduate days our world of activity has been restricted to the campus. Many lasting friendships have been made. Now we go forth to seek the success and honor that are synonymous with achievement. No longer can we have recourse to the things that have become very dear to us. As we gaze upon life's troubled sea may these associations which inspired us as undergraduates help us to perpetuate our spirit and loyalty so that Viilanova may ever be proud of our deeds. Fifty'eight f' SSBiSI Senior History IFE is short. And time is fleeting: FOUR brief years have elapsed since we, the Class of 1930, first entered the hallowed halls of Villanova. Four happy years they were for us. To most of the class this sojourn seems to embrace a rather limited period of our lives and we are prone to wonder concerning the passing of time. Most of us can readily recall the day that the class elected Allie Gallagher, President; Frank Kelly, Vice-President; Jim Henry, Treasurer, and Jack McAndrews, Secretary; the men chosen to guide our class through our Freshman year. Of course, some were prone to resist the impositions thrust upon them by a belligerent Sophomore Class, but it can be truly said that the most of us managed to survive the initiation plus the Hobble Gobble regime of our arch enemies (Class of '29). Although many of us still have a lingering remembrance of the now historic march to Bryn Mawr, not a few of our over-zealous opponents were made to feel our presence on the campus. At the beginning of our Sophomore year we chose as class officers James Henry, President; Walter Quinn, Vice-President; Frank Kelly, Secretary, and Edwin Lovatt, Treasurer. The traditional dink, tie and socks were discarded. Another first year group had advanced beyond the undignified period of “campus life. Crosby Coughlin was chosen as Chairman of the Vigilcnce Committee and to the incoming yearlings he proved a stern but fair task master. A close check-up on all Frosh movements was maintained and various disciplinary measures were meted out to unfortunate offenders. Needless to say our class was returned the victor in the annual tug-of-war with the Frosh. The foremost social activity of our second year was the Class Soiree, held in the Ball Room of the Benjamin Franklin in Philadelphia. Several members of the class also took part in the Villanova College Play, Vision. Joe Foley, member of the Class of '30, acted in the capacity of Business Manager of the play, which made an extended tour around New York and Phila- delphia. The men of thirty were active in all sports and proved themselves excellent varsity material. Sixty The initial part of our Junior year was devoted to class elections and when the smoke of political battle cleared away we found Henry, President; Kelly, Vice President; Crosby Coughlin, Secretary, and Edwin Lovatt, Treasurer. Our school year advanced rapidly and Junior Week came and went in a blaze of glory. The traditional blazers and canes made their customary appearance on the campus and incidentally they were on time for once, due no doubt to energetic work on the part of Walt Quinn and Rudy Zwigard. The Blue Blazer Ball, ably directed by John Kelly, was pronounced a huge success. The Junior Banquet will long be remembered for its unusual song hits and front row blushes. On Wednesday of Junior Week the third year men, escorting their fair ones, had the pleasure of seeing the Varsity baseball team defeat Albright College in an interesting game. The devotees of track and field were delighted to see the Blue and White track men triumph over St Joseph's College by a close score. About this time the Junior Courtier made its appearance on the campus and the success that it proved to be was due to the untiring efforts of “Bill Quinlan. Friday night witnessed the culmination of the week's activi' ties, the Junior Prom. Under the direction of John Breen and his capable committee, the affair was held in the main Ball Room of the Bellevue'Stratford Hotel, and Mai Hallet and his orchestra lent enchanting music for the occasion. The decorations were a thing to be marvelled and admired and made the whole setting one of splendor and enchantment. At this time, the Villanovan, a weekly newspaper, made its appearance on the grounds, supplanting the old magazine. Edwin Lovatt was chosen Editor, and was ably assisted in running the publication by Crosby Coughlin, Hugh McHugh, John Breen, Jim Henry, Joe Foley, Frank Mahan, Cy Hanlon, Joe Rinaldi and Joe Tackacs. In athletics the Junior Class was represented by Johnny Gillespie, Melanson, Birmingham, Cicero, Hillen, Henry, McGann, McAndrews, Andrewlevicz, Holland, Doyle, Mulvenna, DeLuca, Hensil, Flanigan, Lovatt, Mahan, Bill Kelly, Cy Hanlon and Joe Keliher.

Now that it is all over, everyone but his classmates and the girls are glad. “Tom” was seduced by the lure of Insurance and the call of business, hence he launched upon a Commerce course. In spite of his chosen profession, he has made rapid strides in social circles and one can always see him reading his fan mail, some of which by the way comes from the White House. He conducted the Interfraternity Ball in a manner that was above reproach and served quite capably as the Belle Air representative on the Undergraduate Council.

Even the most immune become infected with the “golf bug,” when “Bert paints in glowing terms the “wonders of the fairway.” He swings no mean club and whenever there are fair skies, Bert is sure to be found, driving the pill around with the avidity of “Bobby” Jones over his favorite course. However, golf is not this young man's only pastime. Another sport—this one indoors-—from which he derives much amusement, consists in coining witty but unflattering phrases in German, about certain engineers of his acquaintance; but of course, “everybody's happy when 'Bert's' happy,” so no damage is done. Considering “Bert” seriously, and looking at him as he really is, we find a great fellow, bound to succeed in all his undertakings. He has the ability and tenacity of purpose necessary to the attainment of success. Villanova can feel proud of “Hub” because he has always conducted himself as a gentleman; he has been a hard worker, eager to co-operate in every activity and has always brought his endeavors to a successful conclusion. “Bert,” if you obtain all that your classmates wish for you, every success and happiness will be yours.

For whether in the field of athletic attainment or educational endeavor, John is looked up to, and his opinion cherished as one of no mean weight. His scholastic undertakings and achievements have been marked by a singular quality of perseverance. The classics, literature, and history are his hobbies. A book' lover to the core, the printed page fascinates him and one must travel far to find one equally as welbread. John is a paradox, insofar as the hook-worm is believed to disdain the rough and tumble games of the field; for he excels in the major sports, and his ability to come through in a pinch has often saved the day from the enemy. Gifted with a sunny disposition, and light at heart, he can become serious as 0C' casion demands. He has a fine spirit of taking generously any banter of his friends.

Thus “Dan” announced his presence, and ah though he has been with us for but one short year, he has made his presence welcome, nay, necessary, due to his smile and his philosophic mind. His opinions on aesthetics and philosophy were always welcomed and indeed he has proven himself a master in this field. His love of things aesthetic can be best shown in his conquest of the realm of the fair sex. At first we were led to believe his leaning toward aesthetics was merely a show for his pursuits but his lectures on beauty and art have proven him a student in quest of knowledge pertaining to that particular side of life. “Dan” has found the royal road to learning. As a student, few have equaled him. We would search far to find another “Dan,” a scholar and a friend. “Dan's” chosen field is law.

The Belle Air is indeed indebted to Frank, who as business manager, left no stone unturned in order to make it a financial success. His untiring efforts in behalf of the Jersey Club resulted in his being unanimously chosen as president of that organization. That his other abilities did not escape notice is well evidenced by the fact that the Class saw fit to elect him to membership in the Undergraduate Council, the most important judicial body on the campus and they group in turn saw fit to elect him secretary. During his stay with us he has acquitted himself as a gentleman student and an all' around good fellow should. There is nothing more to be said.

He spent a lot of time helping Mulvenna to manipulate his Ford. In fact, it has been rumored that he was “Jerry’s” chief mechanic. Seriously speaking, “Tom” was an excellent student and a likeable chap as well. Although he did not take extracurricular activities too seriously, he was always ready to lend a helping hand when needed. He served capably as a member of the “8.15 Club” dance committee during his Freshman year. “Tom’s” future ambition is to roll around in a Rolls.

For instance, we have chosen him to lead us for three consecutive years through storm and strife to the ultimate end of all college men—graduation. Besides his great interest in extra-curricular activities of a social nature, he has participated in Athletics for four years. On the gridiron he has scintillated as Varsity end, his efforts reaping him honorable mention as an All-American end. In basketball many opponents have felt the effects of his clean hard playing.

Others who surpass the ordinary, are quite naturally above the general run, and consequently are considered superior personages. This claim, if it be true, certainly applies to “Phil.” Equally adept in all phases of modern college life, Phil has excelled in the field of Athletics. Who can forget his fierce tackling in those by-gone football games? No one, it seems, for the Board of Selection honored him by naming him on the All-American list.

Withal, a lover of the great outdoors, he participated in the various sports with a zeal akin to that which characterized his quest for knowledge. As editor-in-chief of the Monican, he proved how well-merited was the confidence placed in him in choosing him for this honor. Under his direction the same high liter' ary standard was maintained and the quarterly editions were somewhat improved in appearance. Bob is also an ardent lover of music, and possesses a rich baritone voice. He was a popular soloist at entertainments and has proved a valuable asset to the Scho- lastic Choir for four years.

His work was always prepared with the utmost diligence. Any research work was capably handled by his inquisitive mind. His greatest hobby is well known to be books, and never was he to be found without one. His reading was not confined to English, for he mastered French, Italian, Latin and Spanish. “Tony” was of a very retiring nature, except where class work was concerned; but perhaps we misjudge him. “Still water runs deep” and although he went to Wayne to practice teaching, he still made this journey frequently even after he had completed his teaching course.

His smile has become proverbial, as has his attachment for his bosonvfriend Veldorale. How' ever, Tony is not altogether handsome, in the sense that he is all handsome. He has always revealed himself to be both a true student and a sincere friend. Reserved to the point of prudence, genial, amicable, friendly and patient, these all are virtues to be met with in “Tony.” The class, perhaps, will never be able to eradicate the image of the smile that was constantly his, and incidentally his secret to happiness. His one motive, apart from being a good student, was to attain the reputation of being the neatest and most co legiate student at Villanova. His cravats prompted us to remonstrate with him with the words of the Bard: Costly thy habits as thy purse can buy.

Since his entrance in college Tony has been a sincere, scholarly student. Often have we found him late at night poring over texts in his quest for knowledge. He is a firm believer in preparedness. We must confess that socially we do not know as much as we should like to know about Tony. He is taciturn in this regard, believing no doubt that Silence is golden However, the modern version that “Gentlemen prefer blondes, contains a great deal of truth, for Tony” is a gentleman.

In his reasoning along economic lines, he therefore has a big start over the majority of us. His scholarly demeanor is corroborated by the records of his efforts.

The “Ball' room of the Bellevue'Stratford Hotel in Philadelphia was the scene of this brilliant function and Ben Ben nie's Orchestra furnished the music for this delightful affair. Needless to say, the night was an eventful one in the lives of the members of the Class of 1930. The decorations contributed in no small way to the success of this affair. The spacious “Main Ballroom of the Bellevue'Stratford represented a masterpiece of decorative art. Several huge Chinese lanterns of a futuristic design lent an oriental touch to the occasion, while the traditional Blue and White bunting which draped the boxes set off the lighting arrangement in elegant fashion. Before the dance speculation was rife as to just what the favors would be. Those attending were agreeably surprised when, at the door, each couple was presented with an attractive desk clock of blue encased leather upon which the seal of the college was traced in silver. The class numerals and the inscription, “The Belle Air Ball—dance supreme, were also inscribed upon it. An account of the dance would not be complete without a word of praise for the chairman of this important function and his capable committee.

Junior History IN THE fall of 1927 we, the present Junior Class, entered Villanova. But what a strange welcome awaited us. No sooner did we set foot upon Villanova soil than we were tagged and numbered and given brilliant orange caps to wear. The climax of this weird procedure was reached one rainy night in October when we were admitted into the ancient and honorable Order of the Hobble-Gobble. Fortunately football soon became the center of attraction and from then on we were comparatively unmolested. After the Christmas holidays we met and elected as officers: Irvan A. Boucher, president; Matthew DeLuca, vice'president; William C. Orcutt, secretary, and George D. McGrath, treasurer. Things went along very smoothly from then on. In May we contributed very creditably to the social calendar of the college with our “Hop and shortly after that we found ourselves at the end of our first year in college. Before the vacation we elected the following officers: Irvan A. Boucher, president; William Bradley, vice'president; Leo Goodreau, secretary; William C. Orcutt, treasurer. iiiJD|6I[3jQli! 0ig£sjEllil@l0l51 (di — Two hundred twenty'dght When we returned in September the Vigilance Committee already had the Freshmen well in hand. Great was our pride then when we could walk around the campus the envy of the tormented Frosh. Needless to say, we greeted them in much the same way as we ourselves had been greeted. But, soon tiring of this we assumed a dignity befitting a Sophomore. Time flew by and soon the second term was well under way. In the spring we followed up the brilliance of our previous social endeavor with a worthy successor, the Sophomore Soiree. Before we left for home and vacation an election was held. The following men received offices: William Bradley, presi- dent; Howard Garrity and Mark Ryan, vice-presidents; Thomas Garrett, secretary, and Carl Wagley, treasurer. How quickly those summer months flew. In no time it was September and we were back as Juniors. Upperclassmen! Now we could even look down upon the aspiring Sophs as they struggled with the Freshmen. All throughout the year we were in action. The committees organized last June were constantly at work and their efforts were not in vain for early in May we blossomed forth with our incomparable Junior Week. Little need be said as to its superbness. The festivities which we have so recently enjoyed will remain with us in memory long after we have gone forth from the portals of Villanova. Now, with vacation time ever growing nearer we are getting ready to return next fall as Seniors. While we look forward eagerly to the coming year we cannot refrain from casting a fond glance at the happy days gone by. Our college life is nearly over, only one short year and we, the Class of '31, will be alumni. The record of the Junior Class is finished. In closing we bid farewell to Villa- nova and extend our sincerest promises to return next year as Seniors to continue the sterling record we have thus far achieved.

Nature was kind to the third year men, favoring them with ideal Summer weather. Monday morning dawned bright and clear and the week was officially opened with a Solemn High Mass in the College Chapel. Following the Mass the Juniors appeared in the class parade attired in the full regalia of the day, namely, blazer and cane. Following a traditional cus- tom, a class Tree was planted and the Ivy ceremony was held. On Tuesday afternoon Villanova encountered the Brown and White of Lehigh on the diamond and a Howard Garrity thrilling battle ensued. The day was completed in an Chairman ideal manner by the Blue Blazer Ball. On Wednesday the baseball team again met an outside opponent, Lafayette. The day was topped'off by the Tea Dance. The Varsity Golf Team met Lafayette at the Whitemarsh Valley Country Club. On Monday evening the Class Banquet was held; of course, it was a huge sucess. Thursday afternoon witnessed the Track Team in action and once again the Golf Team went into action. This time they were matched against the strong Temple University Team. On Friday the biggest event of the week took place—The Junior Prom, at the Penn A. C. On Saturday Villanova played host to Providence in Baseball and the farewell dance restricted to Juniors and Seniors was held. Thus ran the program of Junior week. It was unfortunate indeed for those concerned that it could not last for a much longer space of time. Few of the third year men will soon forget the many pleasant hours that they enjoyed during its tenure. It was eagerly anticipated, enjoyed by all, and will always be fondly remembered. Two hundred fifty'one Blazer Ball the function Donald Gildea Chairman Tea Dansant THE Tea Dansant is perhaps the most unique of the many social functions of Junior Week. Delightfully informal in nature it presents a decided contrast to the strict formality of the Prom. It is the only function of its kind held on the Campus throughout the year and, as a consequence, the entire student body looks forward to it with much anticipation. This affair has always been a success. Being the sole Tea Dance held on the campus during the entire year, its attraction is made all the stronger by the added touch of novelty. Judging by the comments expressed since the affair took place we feel sure that the efforts of those who promoted it were not in vain.

Sophomore Class History I Harry Sincley President N THE latter part of September, 1928, the Penn' sylvania and Philadelphia and Western Railroads began transporting train loads of green looking Fresh' men to the stately portals of this noble institution. Of course, as we stepped off the train on our way to the Registrar's office, we were very cordially greeted by various members of the Vigilance Committee. These kindly gentlemen immediately became very much com cerned about our welfare. They very thoughtfully decided that the upperclassmen should refrain from carrying any more luggage up from the express office to their rooms. We, of course, being gentlemen of the first water, decided to assist these lordly persons in their perennial labors. We must say, of course, we were greatly harassed by this encroachment on our liberty, but who is there to say we did not fulfill our duties as Freshmen to the ninth degree? If we thought that carrying trunks and other royal paraphernalia stood out as a menace to our physical welbbeing, we did not look into the future to see what was ahead of us. The Sophs had a very orderly plan of the ordeals which we were to be subject to before being allowed to enjoy the benefits of true freedom. All those delightful little tricks which are always kept in store for unsuspecting Frosh, were to be brought to a grand finale by the Freshman Initiation. Who will ever forget the night we were summoned to the stadium to be smeared with molasses, paddled, and made thoroughly uncomfortable by our tormentors? After this treatment was finished, we were marched in ragged array to Bryn Mawr where we amused the populace of that thriving community, with song and dance. With a great deal of appreciation, we watched the effects of our versatility on our audience. After about an hour or so of this, we were permitted to run back to Villanova where every bar of soap and every drop of water was put into immediate use. As we look back on those days we cannot help but feel that the college as a whole was impressed by our reception of all these collegiate demonstrations. Our first class meeting was held on March 14, 1929, for the purpose of selecting our class officers. After a very spirited campaign the following men were chosen to lead us in our class activities: President, Harry Singley; vice'president, Frank Keenan; secretary, John J. McDermott; treasurer, Eric Storms. In view of the fact that the end of our Freshman year at Villanova was fast ap proaching, we quickly began to make plans for our Freshman Hop. President Singley chose a very capable and efficient group of men to serve on the Hop Committee. Martin L. Gill was selected chairman and was assisted by the following: Messrs. Barnes, Rosenweig, Dietz, McDermott, Russell, Egan, Driscoll, Dougherty, Berman, Haage, Hammond, Hjort and Marinaro. The Dance was held on the evening of May 24 in the Crystal Ballroom of the Elk's Hotel in Philadelphia. Anyone who attended this spec' Two hundred fifty-eight tacular affair will testify that it was quite the affair of the campus. Music was furnished by two headline orchestras—Roy Seagraves and his hand and our own Villanovans. The crowd was large, the music superb, the attractions excellent and everybody had a good time. What more could be said about any social function? At the termination of our Freshman year, nominations were proposed for the vari- ous class officers. The elections were held under the supervision of the Student Coun- cil. At the close of a tense campaign which lasted three days, the following men were installed into office: President, Harry Singley; vice-president, Jack J. McDermott; secretary, Joseph F. Dietz; treasurer, Eric Storms; Student Council, Harold E. Driscoll and James Garrity. Our Sophomore year opened with the appointment of the following men to serve on the Vigilance Committee: Jack Daly, chairman; assisted by Messrs. Driscoll, Dietz, McDermott, Singley, Storms, Sullivan, Marinaro, Reilly, Gaughan, Gill, Carr, Giblin, Tracy, Cotter, Russell, Garrity, Bain and Griffin. The function of the Vigilance Com- mittee as this year's Freshman certainly are aware of, is to foster the activities of the incoming Freshman Class until that class is deemed worthy (by the committee, of course) of self government. Without any manifestation of rowdyism whatsoever, the committee taught the Frosh just what Villanova expected of her students. It can well be said that, thanks to the industrious efforts of the aforementioned committee, the Frosh have had the true spirit of Villanova instilled in them. After the Vigilance Committee ceased its operations our time was taken up by the perennial industry of taking Mid-Semester exams. Immediately after this minor diffi- culty was overcome, President Singley called a meeting of the class to discuss plans for our Sophomore Cotillion. A committee was appointed and immediately began to function to make our yearly dance the great success it certainly was. In conclusion let us state that the spirit displayed by the Class of 1932 in all its activities, leads us to believe it has a splendid future ahead in its Junior and Senior years. Sophomore Class Two hundred fifty-nine The Sophomore Cotillion Harold Driscoli Chairman Two hundred sixty Sophomore Vigilance Harold Driscoll Chairman Two hundred sixtyonc 'T'HE annual Tug-O-War between the members of the Freshman and Sophomore Classes was held early in March with the second year men winning a hard-fought decision over the yearlings. This affair is supervised by members of the Under- graduate Council and has become more or less traditional. The ever-obliging members of “32 met the stalwarts of “33 on the edge of the ancient Duck Pond over beyond the Pond W. and a lively battle ensued. Reserved seats were gobbled up by enterprising and interested upperclassmen who proceeded to encourage the rival factions. The battle commenced and for a while no appreciable advantage was evidenced by either side. Experience and class will tell in the end, however, and before long the members of “33 found themselves up to their necks in mud and water while a triumphant crew of Sophs stood on the opposite bank and hurled sarcastic comments at the defeated group. Although coming out on the short end of the battle the first year men were by no means disgraced and it took the Class of “32 fully twenty-two minutes to secure the victory. The time limit for the affair was twenty-five minutes. With the showing of the present Freshman Class to encourage future groups it is remotely possible that some day the Freshmen may possibly come out victorious in this popular event. Two hundred sixty'two They thin they are something when they are worth nothing —Plato. SiBW: Freshman Class History TO MANY, Thursday, September the 19th, was an uneventful day. To those concerned, namely, the Freshmen and Sophmores, it was one of the great' est days in their lives. For the Frosh, it was the first day of their college lives; for the Sophs, the beginning of their college careers, holding for the first time the upper hand. Those first three days of registration were chock full of events for the new Class of 1933, four hundred in number. They humbled themselves before the haughty Sophs by obeying the regulations set down by the Sophomore Vigilance Committee. This included the wearing of the traditional Freshmen “regs, black dink, black bow ties, white socks and a large yellow tag. The proud bearing brought by these young men from high school days was being slowly broken. But the grim spirit of determination instilled into them was just made that much stronger, giving them the moral strength to carry on like men. For almost three weeks the Frosh were tormented and made to bend to the will of the upperclassmen. This was the beginning of the moulding program undertaken by the Sophs. The climax was to come on the night of October the 8th, when the Freshman initiation was held under the auspices of the obliging Class of “32. It took from seven o'clock to midnight for this time'honored ceremony. The Frosh, appropriately wearing pajamas as well as long faces, were assembled in front of the refectory in the preparation for the ancient rites. The many amusing incidents which occurred during the time that it took it to go from the refectory to the gymnasium and then to Bryn Mawr now brings back to the Freshmen, may I say, tender memories of their initiation as it does to each preceding class. The Freshman football team completed one of the hardest schedules in the his- tory of Villanova, winning five games and dropping one. They beat Malvern Prep, Franklin and Marshall Frosh, Beckley College, Perkiomen Prep, and Allentown Prep. The team lost its only game to the powerful Bellefonte Academy team. A total of eightyfour points was scored by the “Frosh against a total of thirty two points scored by their opponents. This Freshman team won the distinction of being the best ever to enter Villanova. The squad boasted of such stars as Metzger, Hickey, Rosen, Brice, Donohue, Geisler, MacFadden, Mulioli, Geezer, Carson, Tarter, Smith, Casey, Myers, Peterson, Trosky, Keough, Lynch, Delaney, Dooley, Sullivan, York and StC' venson. The team had two captains, Jerry Mulioli and Marty Geezer, both centers. The yearlings were under the capable tutelage of George “Doc Jacobs. When the basketball season rolled around. Freshman coach, A1 Severance, deveh oped a fast aggregation of basketeers out of the material that answered his call. Metro Weston captained the squad composed of Smith, Rosen, Semon, Horne, Short' all, Reitz, Goldberg and MacFadden. The team concluded a fairly successful season. Frank Smith President Two hundred sixty six A few days before Christmas recess, the Vigilance Committee assembled all the Frosh and announced to them that the time had come for the removal of Freshman regulations. The Frosh joyfully nailed dink and tie to the wall and then started to organize the class. On February the 12th, there was a Freshman nominating convem tion. Francis B. Smith, Ralph Ceravolo, William Walsh, and Robert Rothert were selected to run for the presidency. Candidates for the vice presidency were Robert Rosen and Joseph Hahn. Those nominated for secretary were James McGuinn, David Murphy and Francis Cooney. Candidates for treasurer were Vincent Marra, James Douglas, and William O'Brien. On the following day in an exciting election Francis B. Smith was elected presi' dent; Robert Rosen, vice'president; James McGuinn, secretary, and Vincent Marra, treasurer. The first two officers named are students in the School of Commerce and Finance, while the last two named are in the School of Science. When ice hockey was first organized here this year and a call for candidates was issued by Coach Levine, a number of Freshmen responded. Among the number were a few clever skaters. In the first game played, Kennedy, Delaney, O'Farrcll, and Faughnan all got their chance. They played in such a capable manner that Coach Levine used them frequently in the following games. Although the season was not a success in regards to winning games, it was successful in the formation of an excellent team for next year. By the time spring came once more to Villanova, and the baseball season opened, the Frosh had already been slowly organizing their club. In its first encounter with the varsity, the Freshmen displayed some very promising material. In the ninednning game played on the afternoon of March the 15 th, the varsity fell before the swinging bats of the Freshmen. Some of the men who showed some very remarkable ability were Brice, Smith, King, Finley, Reitz, Trosky, Lynch, O'Farrell, Shortall, Fcrko, York, Galia, Geisler, Weston, Conroy, Keough, Donahue, Gustafcrri, Schulz, G. Hughes, and Geezer. With such excellent material, the Freshmen ought to come through the season with a long string of victories. Fresh man Class IKiMfiXS asm Two hundred sixty'seven I BELUE AIR Freshman Hop THE Freshman Hop, held on the night of Friday, May 23, is to be the last under graduate social event of the season and should successfully climax one of the most successful social seasons that the local campus has ever enjoyed. Following closely the Junior Prom and Sophomore Soiree it is hoped that the first year men will enjoy the utmost success in this, the first social venture of their college careers. For the first time in the history of the college the dance will be held off the campus. The scene of the affair will be the main ballroom of the Benjamin Franklin Hotel in Philadelphia. A large number of students and numerous outsiders are expected to attend and a gala night is in prospect. Present indications tend to show that the affair will be a huge success due principally to the unusual amount of enthusiasm being evidenced throughout the Class of 1933. This class, the largest ever to enter Villanova, has shown unusual interest in their forthcoming social function and there seems to he little doubt but that it will rank among the best. The cver-popular Villanovans, under the capable direction of Jim Kettrick, will furnish the syncopation—eleven pieces in all. With their full strength on the floor there is little doubt but that the melody dispensed will be of the highest order. Jim has promised to have the latest assortment of song hits for this social event of the season. Taken as a whole, the present Freshman Class have proven themselves a truly representative Villanova group. They have supported their own activities and those of the upperclassmen in an unstinting manner. We sincerely hope that this, their last venture as a Freshman Class, will be eminently successful. The committee, consisting of Messrs. Farnsworth, Donohue, Cerevolo, Rothert, Murphy, La Fond, Winterberger, Walsh and Lenane, under the capable supervision of Chairman Ara A. Cambere, have worked hard for the success of the Hop and deserve the co-operation of each and every member of the class.

THE COUNCIL ON ATHLETICS Graduate Manager of Athletics Charles A. McGeehan Athletic Treasurer Rev. John H. Crawford, O.S.A Harry A. Stuhldreher George Jacobs James E. Meredith Edward Hunsinger Robert Reagan Assistant Graduate Manager of Athletics Alexander Severance Council on Athletics UPON the shoulders of the men behind the athletic vertebra of the college rests the forwarding, continuance and development in Villanova's sport realm. For the purpose of better unity and accomplishment the reins have been gathered into the hands of few men. Their capability is easily apparent in a review of their endeavors. At Villanova the Council is composed of the graduate managers, athletic treasurer, major sport coaches, together with the exefficio suggestions sometimes made by the college president. The duties of these men are manifold—every phase of the athletic system from the trivial technicalities to momentous decisions must be reviewed by them. Their responsibilities are never ceasing and it is in the management of them that the tremendous importance of the job presents itself to the uninitiated. These men hold the athletic future of Villanova in their hands; it is up to them to foresee the future with its possibilities and to discount them, to figure out the necessary procedure so that Villanova might go on as she has in the past, courageously, with a keen perception of circumstances and motives, always in harmony with Villa' nova's competitors on the field of sport. We salute the Council and may they continue in the graces and blessings so necessary to carry on. Two hundred seventy'two inners John Gillespie John Me Andrew- Theo.

Once again the shrill whistle of the referee will dash from mind those fellows whom we know and love so dearly, to make way for the new, but these pages will remain to keep enriched and mellow the memories that we alone desire to cherish. And in the future when we wish to relive those happy moments, then shall we thumb over these pages and imagine ourselves again back at Villanova and pass rapidly from scene to scene and reconstrue for the hundredth time the associations which alone link us to the past. With the coming of the fifth year of football under the tutelage of Harry Stuhl- dreher, the Class of 1930 entered upon its final lap. The Senior football men were the last to have the advantage of four years of varsity competition; the one-year rule, passed to begin operation in the fall of 1927, made it compulsory for a term's sojourn before being eligible to any varsity sport club. In 1928 Villanova waded through a nine-game schedule and emerged unde- feated, the first time in the college's annals. To start the 1929 season the coaches were confronted with several problems. Practically the whole '28 line had left, men who had been the backbone of the team for two, three and four years were gone, men who had been instrumental in the phenomenal rise of the Wildcats in the foot- ball world must be replaced. The fact that Villanova had remained unlicked the year before was another fac- tor to be considered. Other colleges were particularly waiting for the Blue and White, which necessitated a grim campaign that began with the first game and existed all the way through the schedule without letup until the last contest. A wealth of backfield material remained from '28; Captain Melanson, Gillespie, August, McAndrews, Highfield, Gardner and many more veterans were back. The new line was made up of the shock troop material together with Dixie Sheehan and Fred Donovan, the two regulars from '28. This forward wall that started so incon- spicuously was destined to become one of the strongest ever sported by a Wildcat machine. Many of the Freshmen, now second year men, came through grandly and once again the Feline marched forth to wage pigskin warfare with her opponents. The coaching staff was augmented with the addition of “Bob” Reagan, formed Notre Dame teammate of Stuhldreher’s and Hunsinger's'; and “Doc Jacobs, of the '26 Class, returned to handle the yearlings. Reagan was assistant to “Huns with the linemen. On the last Saturday of September the 1929 team tore off the lid with Lebanon Valley across the line of scrimmage. The contest showed no startling football and the Annville collegians” succeeded in scoring twice on the varsity while our men rolled up five touchdowns.

In the second fray Loyola of Baltimore brought a tough collection to the Stadium and the Felines had a fairly busy afternoon in taking the decision at 16 to 7. The Greyhounds tallied first on the shock troops but wilted considerably when the varsity took the field. The alertness of Villanova's linemen saved the day. Three times a Loyola kick was blocked and on each occasion the break worked in favor of Villanova. Gillespie and Morgan each made a touchdown and an automatic safety resulted when Henry stopped a boot and the ball rolled behind the Loyola end zone. Thus far the team had given no indication as to its strength and most everyone was in the dark as to the real merit of the eleven. The cloud was soon dispelled, how- ever, and it occurred up in Boston against Boston College, also undefeated in 1928. Anyone having the fortune to witness the B. C. fray will long remember it. For fifty'eight minutes Villanova played rings around the Eagles, in this interval scoring once on a pass from Gillespie to McAndrews, threatening to count on two other occa' sions and at the same time holding their opponents helpless. On that day Villanova played supremely and in the twinkling of an eye the aspect changed from a glorious victory to a tic that held the same status as a defeat. Two minutes remained of the last quarter when Boston College pulled her trump card, a long soaring pass from the hands of Colbert, far over the head of McLaughlin, our safety man, into the arms of Antos, who galloped some fifty yards for the touchr down. When Colbert arched his dropkick the contest had been knotted and it re- mained that way. The past must be dedicated to the past and the Felines moved on to the next step against Catholic University back in the stadium. Evidently our lads were still in the grip of the reaction following the B. C. fray, for the Capital City team proved rugged and stubborn. Villanova chalked up twelve points on scores by Gardner and Gillespie; Catholic U. was held without any damage and the conflict ebbed away 12 to 0. Fumbles by Villanova was one reason why the harvest remained so little. Before the season ended these miscues were to mount to large proportions; they appeared as the one weak spot in the Blue and White armament. Duke University made its northern bow at the stadium on the last Saturday in October. When the tide of battle settled the Wildcats had enjoyed one huge hey-day at their op- ponent's expense. Nine times a white-shirted Cat carried the pellet over the goal line and twice did a Durhamite emulate the same ges- ture. Melanson scored thrice and the other six- pointers were allotted between Gillespie, Gard- ner, Birmingham, Donovan, McCann and Morgan. Duke drew first blood on the shock troops and then folded up to await the calm that came only with the cessation of hostilities. Head Coach Harry A. Stuhldreher Two hundred seventy-seven Jim Henry. End Sky August. Halfback It cannot be said that the winners played great football; true, they showed plenty of power but the Blue Devils made but half- hearted efforts at resistance after the opening period. Villanova took the utmost advantage of the breaks and was considerably the speedier of the two clubs. Duke had a big outfit but an unwieldly one. Oglethorpe became the second team from the South to engage the Cats. The Stormy Petrels had lots of raw power and a certain amount of deception, but could not co-ordi- nate the two. Then Villanova was in her stride and the conflict ended one way; in her favor by 17 points to 7. At that we did not have the opportunity to accurately gauge the calibre of these men from Georgia; a heavy rain in the third period turned the field into a sea of mud and only under the most adverse conditions was the balance of the fray waged. Gardner and Birmingham accomplished the Villanova touchdowns in the first and sec- ond quarters. Appling, of the visitors, counted in this latter stanza. A safety in each of the final two stanzas gave the Wild- cats four more points. Jack McGann and Dixie Sheehan blocked Oglethorpe punts, the ball on each occasion rolling into the visitor's end zone. The annual trek to Scranton for the Bucknell fray this time was disastrous. After nineteen games in which the Wildcats had emerged victorious (seventeen wins and two ties), the Bisons turned the trick. Incidentally, it was the Lcwisburg bunch who had last ac- complishcd the feat. The score was 9 to 0. In the second period Clark Hinkle, Bucknell fullback, crashed through the Wildcat line for a touchdown after being stopped earlier in the game on the one-yard line, again in the last quarter the Bisons increased the count on Ellor's placement kick from the twenty-seven yard line. Villanova had one opportunity to score in the last period but a fumble blew the chance and the game snapped the no-defeat streak. Suffice to say, Bucknell was indeed the better club that day on Brooks field, her plays worked consistently and she outplayed the Cats. After defeating Davis-Elkins in '28 the Two hundred seventy-eight m 0ELLE Am ‘Phil” Hillen, Guard tables were turned on Franklin Field follow' ing the Bison battle. Villanova led at mid- time by a six'point margin but a second half rally by the “Scarlet Hurricane wiped out the advantage and sent us down for the second time in as many weeks. Neil Rengle, fullback of the redshirts, made all twelve points for D.'E. Tommy Morgan slipped over with our touchdown early in the second period. The game was quite a contrast. In the first half Villanova passed all over the field to the utter confusion of the visitors, while they plugged the line time after time, sticking to power football. In the end the plugging game prevailed and the Cats were further checked. In the penultimate encounter with North Carolina State on Franklin Field Villanova floundered about in the biting wind and scur rying snow before grabbing the nod in an emotionless gridiron display by 24 points to 6. “Jack McDermott and Highfield each made a touchdown while Clete Gardner got two; Wright snared the N. C. S. one. Stuhldreher kept a steady stream of substi- tutions running in and out of the game. Five quarterbacks saw service, Morgan, McLaughlin, Hammond, Eagan and Cicero directing the Cats in the return to win' ning form. The listless performance boded ill for the windup with Temple, up in the Owl stadium. The day of the Temple game arrived with a whistling wind and lots of cold. The field was frozen hard and the gale blew its length in a steady blast. For three periods the two teams battled without a score and then in the last period the Wildcats came to life and defeated the Owls in a short and furious out- burst. Gillespie threw a baseball pass to Jack McGann who slid over the line for our first of two touchdowns and “Johnny” himself made the second. Gardner booted the first extra point. An automatic safety following a blocked kick determined the final two points. It was a glorious ending to the season.

Another item of significance lay in the shoddy handling of the ball. The team aver- aged between three and five fumbles per con' test; on many occasions these slips were di' rectly attributable to the closeness of the re- suit and in at least one game played an important part in deciding the outcome. The team was well drilled in its plays and sported quite a repertoire, the entire squad showed an intensive knowledge of the funda' mentals and rules, and generally played heads up ball. Against Bucknell it was a case of never gaining headway, circumstances forcing the Felines to be on the defensive most the eiv counter.

He and Phil Hillen were given honorable mention on the All- American Football Board selections. McGann could nab passes from any posi- tion; it was he who scored on one in the Tem- ple game. Jack was a tough man to round on the defense but his chief forte lay in block- ing punts. The other ends were Joe Kelly and Mike Terry, of the shock troops, both fast and big fellows, Joe Czesick, Howard Driscoll, Vic- tor Delabrida and John Trainor. All these men saw action. Boucher, Harkins, Sheehan and Edwards led the tackles. Edwards came along fast towards the close of the year. Dietz and Conti worked in most of the games along with the others. Phil Hillen and Jim Milne “Jack” Birmingham. Halfback flanked the center on the varsity. Hillen also did the kicking off. Kobilis and Wit- kowski performed with the starting lineup in capable fashion; Garrett and De Luca were the remaining guards to get into the games. Fred Donovan again held the pivot job; Red Bradley passed them for the shock troop gang. Both these men played as roving cen- ters in nearly all the contests. Altomare and Welsh understudied the two Juniors. Quite a collection of ball carriers worked together on the offensive. Captain Melanson at fullback did the punting and place kicking. “Red was noted chiefly for his tackling and interference. Clete Gardner worked in with Melanson; the burly captain-elect played hard football all the time. Singley also got in sev- eral frays. Tom Connelly, our fourth full- back, was laid up with a broken leg the whole campaign. Jack McAndrews, Gillespie, August, Bir- mingham, Highfield, Nagle and Andrewlevich led the halfbacks. All but Highfield and Nagle graduate this year and have been the mainstays of the club since the 1926 season The other halves were Brady, Dragone, Me- “CAGLt” Andrulevicz, Halfback Dermott, Reilly, Bodine and Burnshaw Two hundred eighty'thrce Tommy Morgan led the quarterbacks. McLaughlin whipped the seconds along, and frequently drove the varsity. Cicero, Eagan and Hammond also ham died the reins on several occasions. Chick Scully was bothered again with his leg which never came around to treatment after it was broken the preceding year. Chick was the hardduck man of the club. Cicero and Scully were the only two sig- nabcallers lost by graduation. The coaches gave their best to the team, and the team, we believe, reciprocated. Stuhb dreher, Hunsingcr, Reagan and Jacobs con' scientiously strove with all their power and experience to make the club examplary of themselves; an aggregation with a victorious complex that played the sixtieth minute with as much spirit as the first. To them is due the gratitude of Villanova, and we leave these pages with only the highest regard and esteem tor them.

Two hundred eighty five isiHil Basketball rTW0 r0Sulars from ‘he 1928-29 season greeted Doc Jacobs when he called out the A candidates in the gym m the early November days. Captain Jack Birmingham and Tommy Morgan were the only men who had been on the first club the preceding campaign. Birmingham had won his letter since his Freshman year and Morgan was beginning his second year as a Varsity man. The prospects were not of the sort that might send a coach into ecstasies and on the other hand this circumstance might have reacted favorably. The new mentor had a majority of Sophomores to deal with, men who were not constrained to any one system, apt pupils for the drilling in his own style. Jacobs was starting with a free rein; in the three previous seasons the courtmen had played their way through the schedule in a more or less haphazard fashion, seldom winning and losing often. Thus with a background of so uninspiring a character the former Villanova player could have been easily excused for producing a faction of similar mediocre calibre to the foregoing clubs. But it was not to be. Jacobs, in his undergrad days had played alongside some of the greatest athletes who ever sported the Blue and White, alongside men to whom lose was an obsolete word, who had the superiority complex, and who went out to battle with an inward pity for the opposition. The first step lay in making the men believe in themselves, know they had the stuff and that they could and would produce it. Jake's psychology worked and the boys moved along to the opening encounter, gaining prestige among the student body as practice session after practice session found the club gaining power, smoothness and confidence. Student support is the greatest boon to any collegiate aggregation and the quintet certainly claimed its share. Fourteen men comprised the roster in beginning the season. After the first few contests the number dwindled to ten and these half score basketeers carried on. Seven- teen games were played and the team prevailed in all but six. Down in the gym Textile ventured for the curtain raiser. It was the test. Every available spot was crowded with students anxious to see at first hand the product of the new coach. Jack Birmingham, Mickey Holland and Tom Edwards settled the issue, the three Wildcats scoring one and a half times the Textile harvest, and the final whistle found the Felines far in front, 49 to 21. Pharmacy made its annual pilgrimage to the Main Line court a few nights later and as before Villanova jumped to an early lead and won, going away by the margin of 46-18. Birmingham led the assault with 18 points. The Osteopathy fray, the last of the home games, almost caught the boys unex- pectedly; as it was Villanova worked the entire forty minutes, gaining the lead at half time and clinging to it. The final tabulation read 32 to 23. A two-day trip to Washington resulted in running the streak of wins to five. George Washington provided the Pennsylvanians with No. 4, but only after a hard tussle. Birmingham, Czesick, and Morgan were the main figures in this conquest, the Two hundred eighty'Seven Coach Georgf. Jacobs Two hundred eighty'nine Red Sullivan, Center Mickey Holland. Forward Two hundred ninety «BMraa 1 “Tommy Doyle. Guard out path. Villanova had not been returned the victor over the Scrantonians for over a stretch of five years. As usual the engagement took place in Scranton, but there the similarity ended; the Wildcats without the injured Cap tain Birmingham who had not played since the second half of the Temple game, mauled the rather perplexed coal crackers to a 32 to 25 tune. Whitey Czesick and Matt Eagan with Tom Edwards capably stepped into the absent lead' ers' shoes, the diminutive Czesick throwing in twelve points to lead the tabulating. In a short resume of the season several points stand paramount. Jacobs did a good job of his first assignment, the team flashed spells of truly great workmanship, and no doubt would have compiled a better record had the players taken more care in their defensive tactics. In par' ticular Tom Edwards was the chief offender. We don't know the style of play prevalent in Oklahoma, but we imagine it must be much rougher than the Eastern officials sanction; in any event Tom's early demise in many of the important clashes considerably weakened our strength. Tracy and Morgan shared the guard berths. For the former it was his first year in Varsity intercollegiate competition, and he accredited himself like a veteran; perhaps he was the best rounded performer on the squad. His guarding, shooting, and intuitive ability to diagnose opposing tactics served him well. Morgan is an old campaigner and his aggressive work in the backcourt fitted in with the system. Captain Birmingham and Whitey Czesick need no further comment. The re- serve strength was frequently called upon to provide the change needed in a tight squeeze to cross up the opponents. Red Sullivan, giant tapoff man, saw lots of action; it was generally up to Red to relieve Edwards when the of- ficials waved Tom to the bench after his fourth foul. Matt Eagan and Mickey Holland got eyes for the iron hoop.

Seven veterans from which Coach Meredith was destined to fashion the greatest team of trackmen to ever represent Villanova, a collection of Mercury footed cinderpathers the like of which never before could be gathered together at one time within the portals of the Blue and White institution. Graduations saw the passing of Jimmy Woods, our peerless quarter miler and captain for two years, Dick Daley, member of the relay team for three years, and Bill Myretetus one of the greatest of all Villanova all around athletes in track and field. The loss of these three men who had born the brunt of the running and jumping burdens was considered as a great handicap. But when the first meeting of the candb dates brought out a squad of over forty men the aspects became somewhat brighter. From the upper three classes came a swarm of new faces to stand abreast of the few better men, to take their own places on the starting mark and to go out and score for Villanova. To stand aside Frank Mahan, the captain ranged Bud Kelly, Jack Highfield, Joe Kelly, Bill Kelly, Joe Costanzo and Red Martin, who came back after a year's sojurn on the west coast. These few, save “Red, were the only ones who had seen varsity competition in the preceding year. Mahan and the two Kellys were entering their fourth year of competition and were after their fourth letter in track. Highfield, Costanzo and Martin were Juniors. The new stalwarts included: Johnny Whalen, Art Ziegler, Carmen Salerno, Joe Smith, John Baker and Dan Brandt numeral men from the freshman squad of the pre' ceding spring. To bolster them a flock more rallied about the winged foot exponents. Sky August runnerup in the '30 class Septathlon, Bill Straub, Ramsey, Jim Milne, Don Gildea, Batterby, Barty Born, Bob Corrigan, Bain, Bucky Hammond, Korson, Jack Casey, Ted Pisciotti, Jean Clifford, Charley Moore and others warmed up in the late winter months for the spring handicap meets that were provided for the first time Coach Meredith ran three intra varsity'freshman meets in the Stadium during March. Over sixty yearlings and varsity trackers entered these meets. Meredith sifted the squad balancing the entrants and the team found itself for the first time in good shape by the first of April and with from four to eight entrants in every event. The abundancy of material enabled the veterans who had heretofore doubled up in three, four and five events to concentrate on one or two. The club lacked no confidence and the marks tallied in the handicap meets were consistently gratifying. Frank Mahan and Highfield gave startling performances in their respective fields, the former running within three'tenths of a second of the world's record for the 45-yard high hurdles in one meet while Hikey stepped through a century in 10 M seconds on a muddy track with the wind blowing against him in another. The only indoor work of the team occurred in the Meadowbrook meet, in the Arena at Philly, on Lincoln’s Birthday in February. The one mile relay team was forced to trail Temple and St. Joseph's over the finish line in one of the closest run' nings of the night. These three teams kept within hand's touch of one another throughout the twelve laps. Three hundred ninety'four Badf Row—Coach Meredith, Kelly, Petranio. Highficld.

A shuttle hurdle relay quartet has been entered together with a team in the One- Quarter Mile Relay Championship of Amer' ica. These boys will come up against most the crack sprinters east of the Alleghenies and many Middle and Far Western speed mer chants. In the century dash three men are hooked to start. Also in the 100'yard high hurdles, the 400'inetre hurdles, hop, step and jump, and high jump will be found Villanova athletes. Likely among the candidates for the mile relay team will be Captain Mahan and Cost' anzo, the only two who ran on the quartet last year, Johnny Whalen or Bain and Buck Ham' mond. The running order will be virtually the same as in the Meadowbrook meet; Bucky starting, with Whalen, Mahan and Costanzo following in order. In the quarter'mile relay Joe Costanzo is favored to lead off, August taking the second leg, passing to Gildca and he in turn handing the baton to Highfield. The shuttle hurdle relay members will include: Clifford, Martin, Batterby, Captain Mahan, Straub and Gildea, the first four probably running. The special events claim Frank Mahan in the 400'metre hurdles on Friday, this event always inaugurates the meet. Highfield, Gildea and August are slated to face a great field in the 100. August and Mahan are also in the hop, step and jump. Johnny Baker is the lone entry for the high jump; while Ma- han may compete in the 120-yard high hurdles. For the regular dual meets, Meredith is de' pending on Jack Highfield, Don Gildea, Ed August, Ramsey and Straub in the century. The first three arc capable of negotiating the distance in even figures; Ramsey should find himself this season, he has been running well in trial heats. Straub has deserted the hurdles to concentrate on the flat course. The furlong field also comprises Highfield and Gildea; Joe Costanzo and Ramsey com' plete the nominations. Costanzo in the past has done his best work on the one curve lay' out. Gildea has been impressive in his pre' season performances. For the 440 the selection is rather large; “Red Martin, Hurdles Bucky Hammond and Costanzo loom as the -L,,% Joe Kelley. Shot Put Two hundred ninety-seven “Bud Kelly, Sprints most likely entries. Bain and Moore will have to be considered, Bain has been burning up the oval in trial spins. Moore has only re' covered from an ailing leg that kept him out of competition in '29. Ted Pisciotti is the other possible quarter miler. The half field is a curtailed one. Johnny Whalen has things rather his own way, the up state boy is due to crack the school record for the route soon. Fazio, Casey and Korson seem to be the only other logical candidates in the double lap specialty. Carmen Salerno and Whalen lead the mile class, both these men run close to each other. Korson may also fit in. Salerno alone will trample the two mile grind and the added burden can be easily carried by the little sturdy legged Camden lad. Captain Mahan, of course, will be back in his own backyard with the high hurdles, he has dropped one tall stick heat in three years. Clifford, Baker, August, Martin, Batterby and possibly Straub are toss ups for the remaining places with the nod favoring Martin, Clifford and Batterby. In the low hurdles Mahan will also compete, along with Joe E. Kelly, Gildea, Clifford and Martin. The pole vault finds Marty Born leading the entrants with August, Bill Kelly and Mahan as the balance of strength. Baker and Corrigan are in front with the high jump. Bill Kelly, Martin and Mahan should be the other leaders. Costanzo, Joe E. Kelly, Hammond and Cor- rigan make up the broad jump field. Gildea may also double up in this event. The shot seems to be well taken care of. Joe Kelly and Ziegler are tossing the iron shell the further- est. Brandt is coming along well. The discus rests in the hands of J. J. Kelly, Brandt, Joe Smith, Jim Milne, A1 Ziegler and Bill Kelly. J. Kelly, Ziegler and Brandt are doing the best flipping at the present. Jim Milne heads the javelin men. J. J. Kelly, Smith, Brandt and Ziegler also fling the steel pointed projectile. The growth of track at Villanova bids fair to continue at an even more rapid pace than “Bill Kelly. Sprints Two hundred ninety-eight One Mile Relay Team—Hammond, Whalen, Costanzo, Mahan in the past. Over twenty years ago Villanova had good clubs on the cinderpath hut with the graduated scale of scoring that placed a premium upon numbers the ac tivity waned and for a time was excluded entirely from the sporting roster. The small size of Villanova worked a hardship on the schools chances to make a good showing in track. But with the marvelous growth that has taken place these last five years, with the resultant increase of possible material in the added man power, the track sport staged a comeback. Formerly it became almost impossible to muster a squad of twenty'five or thirty men, which is the minimum number a college team uses in a meet. With a student body of only about two hundred there were not as many as twenty fellows who had been adept in the various phases of the sport while in prep school; naturally then the ebb in interest. It is different today. The varsity squad boasts of over forty men, each event is capably filled with three, four, five and sometimes more athletes bidding for a chance to compete. The last five years has certainly seen many changes in the track team, and among the greatest of which might be mentioned the support of the student body and the unselfishness of the athletes themselves; to practice six or seven months for the privilege to represent the college in some event that might take less than a minute to run is to our mind the height of loyalty. It is not given to all the men to gain the laurels and this little epistle is to those fellows who have tried but just failed to grab the spotlight. Their work will always be an inspiration, many of them knew they had practically no chance to be among the victorious yet they stuck out day after day, perhaps for three or four years for the consolation of getting a chance to show their wares, however slight they might be.

Baseball VILLANOVA'S oldest sport, baseball, under the coaching of Charley McGeehan, faces a twcnty-seven game schedule this spring. The prestige gained by the diamond men at one time in the past was the basis for recognition on Villanova's part in the athletic world. Ever since the beginning of competition at the Blue and White institution the horsehide addicts have been among the foremost collegiate teams in the East. The fame of Villanova ball clubs gained respect wherever mentioned. This season a rather unique situation is in evidence. Most of the regulars are men who have been on the team for two and three years, many of them performed on the great club of 1928 which lost but three games out of twenty'two and these by the margin of one run. Last season injuries and sickness cut down the effectiveness of the nine and the result witnessed a powerful team wading through a tough campaign with but a mcdi' ocre record. But the light is showing through, the Prof at last has another combi' nation which bids to create another furore in the national pasttime sphere. The loss of Johnny Hensel naturally weakened the defensive punch some but this became some' what alleviated by the return of George Hanzik, husky speed ball hurler. Hensel had been a mainstay of the twirling corps over the three season stretch immediately preceding the current campaign; the victories Johnny figured in number some of the foremost colleges this side of the Appalachians. But the sport must go on and upon the capable shoulders of Johnny Gillespie, battery mate to Hensel, rests the burden of leading the bat and glove men. Gillespie has been varsity receiver since his Freshman year and this season rounds out his service to the Wildcat school. In '29 Coach McGeehan had to shift his players about considerably to find a cohesive outfit, in result, Red Melanson deserted his favorite hideout in centerfield to become custodian of the hot corner, Gillespie remained behind the plate and Joe Dc Luca roamed about the middle sack. These were the veterans now remaining who composed the infield. Jack Flanagan and Tommy Morgan with Jack McAndrews held the outposts. The showing of Whitey Czesick and George Gazella this spring again caused a re' arrangement that saw Melanson fade back into leftfield and left Gazella on third. Jack McAndrews traded his fielding mitt for a first baseman’s one and Joe De Luca re' mained on second. Tommy Morgan kept his job in the garden and for the fourth sue' cessive year Jack Flanagan reported to the rightfield berth. Gillespie assumed, once again, the catching role; Hillen and Hanzik to the veteran pitching posts. The new men to gain places were, beside Gazella on third, Czesick in the short field, Smokey Ed Knobilis and Jack Brady on the mound. Among the other peak men were: Jerry Mulvenna, a portsider, Jack Sassman, Johnny Metz and Art Harkins. The reserve cordon consisted of Larry Cicero behind the pentagon, Tom Edwards on first, Jimmy Donnelly at the keystone station, Bono Dalton in short and Pete Esclv mann on third.

The long season calls for the players to keep in the best of shape for the trips, changes in food and climate are sure to be felt by the fellows and these augumented by scholastic duties, impose a strain upon them. A let down is to be presumed and at some stage of the schedule the boys may be fighting more than the opposition, to give them a break is our duty. We know they are doing their best and if it is not just enough well then hand the other side a bouquet. Baseball at Villanova has kept apace with the marvelous growth in the leagues and else' where. The equipment and core of the men has always been of the best. The Athletic Council has in the past given its sanction to the sport and has done its utmost to put it upon a scale that compares favorably with any other college. Now in closing let us add a few lines in honor of Charley McGcehan who has held the reins of Villanova clubs during some hectic spells, who has seen the lean and fat seasons, who has sent some of his men up to the big time and who is always working for the furtherance of Villanova, not only in baseball but in every other way. The future of the national game at Villa- nova rests upon a continuance of the prin- ciples laid down and promulgated bv the “Prof.” For ten years he has produced winning teams at Villanova; teams that were noted throughout eastern collegiate baseball circles for their sterling and consistent play. During the past his teams have completed in a success- ful manner some of the most difficult schedules ever attempted by a college team. He har. met and vanquished such aggregations as Holy Cross, Fordham and Princeton among others. And still he turns out winners. Jack Flanagan.

Three hundred nine Tennis WHAT looks on paper as the strongest outfit to ever represent Villanova on the courts, since the inception of the sport, will wade through the toughest schedule ever attempted. A galaxy of veterans returned to gladden the hopes of Father Mauch, coach of the racket swingers. Captain “Pete Forve, “Sol Berman, “Charley Boyle, “Tom Dooling, “Charley Laveson, Paul Beaudine and “Johnny Sykes all competed the pre- vious campaign and upon the opening of the fall term worked out on the college courts till the early winter. One indoor match was played with Penn A. C. in which the clubmen grabbed every match. Villanova has not the facilities for indoor play and went into the em gagement “cold without any of the men having held a racket for months. However, though the final outcome overwhelmingly favored our opponents the individual tilts were hotly contested. Four singles and two doubles made up the team match. “Sol Berman played as No. 1; “Charley Laveson, No. 2; Captain Forve, No. 3; and Frank Mahan as No. 4 in the singles. The Suarez brothers, Manuel and “Pat” were our first doubles combination with “Charley Boyle and “Tom Edwards the other duo. Most of the matches slated outdoors are booked for foreign loam. The nine new courts constructed last spring will not be used much this year, however, Manager “Bill Kelly has arranged for several early season tilts at Villanova before the boys take the road. Should ex'Captain “Eddie Lovatt return to his form of two years ago the team will be considerably strengthened. Lovatt lost last year's play through an ailing arm that kept him on the sidelines the entire spring. For the outdoor season “Pete” Forve will have to depend upon a mixture of veterans and new men. “Sol Berman, “Charley Laveson, “Bill Orcutt and “Tom” Dooling form the experienced coterie. “Johnny” Sykes, the Suarez brothers, Beaudine, who played last year, and possibly “Tom Edwards are the uncertain ele ments. The present outlook favors the singles lineup with Sol Berman as No. 1, followed in order by Orcutt, Laveson and Captain Forve. The remaining two positions are a matter of conjecture. Beaudine may grab one, with the other possibly being divided between Skyes and Tom Dooling and perhaps Manuel Suarez. For the doubles, Berman and Forve, a veteran combination, should hold the No. 1 job. Orcutt and Laveson, or Beaudine and either of these two ought to be No. 2. The Suarez brothers may cause a shifting and at least rate the No. 3 berth. Manager Bill Kelly has arranged a sixteen match season. The Penn A. C. em agement formally opened the play but the first outdoor fray is scheduled with Lafay ette in Easton on the 25th of April. The next day Temple comes out to our courts. These two matches washes up the month. May 1, finds the boys on a three day trip. George Washington, Catholic University and Navy are met on consecutive days. St. Joe's are slated for the 8th, in Overbrook, Ursinus the next day at home as also is the Penn A.

In time no doubt it will be a major sport and rightly so. Golf is played by more people today than any other athletic activity. The schedule arranged by How Garrity lists most of the prominent country club teams besides a representative group of colleges about this sector. In the first match of the year the Haverford College team was laid low by the score of 15 to 12. The Nassau system of scoring engendered this result but in any case the decision would have favored us by 5 to 4. The roster goes on with Swarthmore being played at Rolling Green on April 14th; Ashbourne on the 24th at Elkins Park; Philmont is met on the 26th at Philmont followed by Bala C. C. at Bala on the 29th. Overbrook C. C. is played on May 1st. Osteopathy will open our home season on the Marble Hall course on the 2nd and then the boys trek down to Newark, Dela- ware, to stack up against the University of Delaware on the 3rd. Lafayette, Temple and Rutgers meet us in the following few days on the Marble Hall Course. Haverford comes back on the 10th at Marble Hall also. Phoenixville entertains us on the 15th and Delaware comes up on the 17th to Marble Hall. We travel to New Brunswick in a return engagement with Rutgers on the 20th. Gettysburg at the Battlefield and Franklin and Marshall in Lancaster mark a two-day trip on the 23rd and 24th. West Point at the Army's home grounds ends the season on the 31st. A cursory perusal of the schedule will readily show the calibre of the oppo- sition tackled by the golfers of Villanova. Every opponent is a worthy one and in the case of the clubs the Felines meet our boys are due to be competing against some of the outstanding amateurs of the Philadelphia district. Dick Murray leads the team. It is his second year on the varsity. The other probable members are Stan Prokop, Don Martin, Gerald Weinhart, Johnny Baker, Joe Ross, Charley Meter, and Hen Fox. The reserve material lists Tom Dooling, B. Burns, A1 Ziegler, Joe Ash, Bill Kelly and Louie Dart.

Mr. Levine, a former professional hockeyist, gratuitously gave this time and advice, and the Wildcat coach brought together a comparatively strong club. In the four-game schedule Villanova's lot was destitute of victories, but then a moral triumph has its points also. Coach Levine devoted most of the early season practices to trying out different combinations and in developing teamwork. Most of the men had not played before except in prep school and consequently were off the game for two or three years. The results show up splendidly, the background has been laid and the club is ready to go forward, we hope, at a rapid pace. Although the Blue and White did not turn in any wins they gave their opponents stiff arguments. Not one contest went over whelmingly against the Main Liners. Penn A. C. was met three times and Penn once. In the first engagement the Clubmen could do no more than tie Villanova at 3'3. Inasmuch as Penn A. C. went through its schedule undefeated till the final game the Feline accomplishment is meritorious. Penn triumphed over the Cats 7'3. Per' haps had the boys put up the brand of game displayed against the clubmen the result would have been different. A wild second period splurge by the Red and Blue put the contest in the sack. The Pennacs in a return setto eked out the decision after a hard sixty minutes of play. The score read 4'2. In the windup they again prevailed, this time at the Auditorium in Atlantic City and by an 8 to 5 margin. Villanova was the only college hockey team to be invited to perform at the shore rink. Villanova's starting lineup usually included Arthur “Eskimo Kennedy and “Jack Brady on the forward flanks with “Joe Delaney handling the toss in; “Bill Orcutt and “Johnny O'Neill roved the defense area while the cherubic “Bob O'Farrell squatted in the net. The spare outfit had “Joe Welch and “Joe Matera up front, “Johnny Masucci in the center, “Jack Flanagan and Captain “Phil Hillen behind the last blue line and “Fred Welsh draped about the cage. “Johnny Faughnan worked in at wing with the other front men. The club was managed by Julius Becza with “Red Martin in the assistant's capacity. Principally through the tirelessness of the managers the hockey team evolved and it is to them as much as any, that the honors should go. Over the season s play the ability of Kennedy, Delaney and O'Neill scintillated; these three are looked upon as the nucleus for the coming year's aggregation.

Of those who succumbed before the green'shirted yearlings, two were annual rivals who had heretofore put the punch on other yearling squads; Beckley Business College and Allentown Prep, failed for the first time to turn back the Frosh. Malvern Prep, Perkiomen Prep and Franklin 6? Marshall, ’33, provided the other Main Line wins. None of the contests brought out any sensational performances by the embryo Villanovans; evidently the daily scrimmaging with the Varsity took most of their stuff. This years bunch was the first to use the shift; other former collections dabbled in any and all styles of advancing the ball. We might conjecture that the schedule would have been entirely a victorious one if the lads had the advantage of working the shift against Bellefonte. Jacobs had a big squad, numerically and avoirdupoisly speaking. They scaled but a trifle under the Varsity by weight and that’s as far as the comparison may be carried. Bellefonte whitewashed the infants in the debut by 20 to 0. The Academy boys, or young men, could certainly certify to a profound pigskin knowledge, which they displayed promiscuously. Against the Allentown Preppers, '33 had little difficulty. When the whistle blew its last, the upstate gridders were out in the damp autumn evening with a mere six points as consolation to the opponent's 25. Beckley College followed and were taken through the hoops via three touchdowns to none. Malvern Prep, with Marshall Halpen, former Villanova man at the reins, came to the stadium for a friendly engagement but his lack of capable spares seriously hindered his chances of victory and as the result the Preppers dropped their only setto of the season. Franklin Marshall were downed 13-0 and Perkiomen was squeezed out 7-6 in a dreary, long drawn-out encounter to wind up the year. It wouldn't surprise us if Coach Stuhldreher used some of the men on his Varsity squad the coming fall; undoubtedly they are due to improve and may make real honest' to'goodness football players if they do the right thing and stay in at night, study their lessons hard and hit the line harder. Some of those who formed the battering ram for the Varsity last fall are Brickley, Rosen, Myers, Mulioli, Metzger, Hickey, Donahy, McFadden, Casey, Peter son, Megan, Trotsky, Cotter, Smith, Lynch, O'Connell, Gazelle, Brice, Gicke, Nova, Keough, Finley and Delaney. 1933 CHRONICLE Freshmen.................. 0 Freshmen................. 21 Freshmen................. 25 Freshmen................. 28 Freshmen................. 13 Freshmen.................. 7 Bellefonte ................ 20 Beckley Business College ... 0 Allentown Prep ............. 6 Malvern Prep ............... 6 Franklin Marshall ........ 0 Perkiomen .................. 6 KMMHNRIf Three hundred sixteen 1933 Basketball AL SEVERANCE'S first year quintet broke even in a ten-game schedule, scoring 317 points against 309. The squad after the preliminaries narrowed down to less than ten men, who carried the club through the short season's play. The starting lineup usually included Metro Weston and Sandy Semon at for wards, Smith or Rosen at center and Goldberg and McFadden in the backcourt. Reitz and Horne alternated at guard and forward. The Bergman A. C. opened the season for the freshmen and the decision went to the latter by the overwhelming score of 40 to 19. Severance kept up a steady stream of subs going in and out. Against Catholic High, of Philadelphia, the Frosh made it two in a row-, this time the figures read 34 to 25. '33 jumped into an early lead that proved too muefh for a late rally by the high school team. Lehigh fresh were toppled in the third encounter 41-27. The contest was played in the Bethlehem school's own gym before the varsity contest. Franklin and Marshall halted the streak in Lancaster by pasting a 41 to 31 count upon our lads. Temple freshmen in the first of two-game series duplicated the F. and M. trick, this time the tabulations going against us 36 to 29. With the St. Joe junior varsity, however, the Cubs got back into form and squeezed through after a tight skirmish 41 to 32. The following game was contested up the state against the Mining and Mechan- ical Institute and the decision favored the homesters in another hot battle 38 to 33. The Hun School ran away with the yearlings over in Princeton after the M. M. I. fray 27 to 11. In the final two games Ursinus first year men were stopped in Collegeville 36 to 26 and Temple repeated the pasting given at the former meeting by overrunning us 38 to 21. Weston, Smith and Goldberg were the best performers over the season stretch. Weston had a good eye for the basket, in fact, all the men could shoot; the one weak spot in the armor lay in a poor defensive system. Goldberg was the best team player.

Those wild looking, white-attired human dervishes who caper about tirelessly and are the morale custodians for the college. Whatever their habits off the job they are of necessity bound to preserve a cheerful, caustic, energetic, acrobatic personality on the move continually. A raucous voice, comparable only remotely to the bass braying of a super fog horn, a jauntiness of mien, a turtle shell back to let wise remarks slide off, are but a few of the requisites an ambitious novice requires to gain admittance to the fraternity. But more power to them, oft within their rhythmic swaying and calisthetic gyra tions rests the outcome of a combat on the sporting field. To them is entrusted the sometimes difficult feat of keeping the student body’s spirit and fervor up to the fever pitch.

Lambda Kappa Delta took the court crown by playing good ball consistently. The work of Zucko, McHugh, Sweeney, Mari' ano and the other men outshadowed the other fives. The winning frat displayed the best team' work and deserved to take the diadem. Cletc Gardner ably coached his charges to the cham- pionship. The Epsilon Phi Theta, and Pi Omega Phi club performed in just mediocre style, both had the material to do better but a general list' lessness pervaded their play. Delta Pi Epsilon were the poorest lot, in no two games did they present the same lineup, in fact, the team may be said to have suffered from an abundancy of men which did development of team work. Father Kenny had charge of the league play and capably discharged his duties, all the games were run off on schedule and the entire season was marked by the absence of dispute over either the officiating or the eligibility rules. Jim Henry and Joe De Luca refereed all the games and had the confidence of every team, these two men voluntarily gave up their time to insure the success of the project. Many thanks to them. Intramural sports have blossomed and waned at Villanova. In 1929 the present Senior Class donated a cup for a relay race between the frats, and at the same time sponsoring a track meet featuring an all-around championship track and field contest. All but the relay was run off. The all-around competition witnessed three of the '30 class taking the first three places. Frank Mahan, Ed August and Bud Kelly fin- ishing in that order. Several baseball games were played last spring but the exams brought a sudden climax to the continuance and no champion was decided.

The editors of the publication have attempted to list with as much accuracy as possible the activities of all four undergraduate classes at Villanova for the year 1929'1930—and the staff hopes that a careful review of this volume will elicit your commendation. Several new features have been introduced in this particular edition of the book. The use of the Grecian theme is, we think, a step in the right direction and places the book on a higher pedestal than ever before. Not a little accurate and detailed research work was necessary in order that the theme might be carried to a satisfactory conclusion. The result we feel is somewhat unique and fully compensates us for the time and effort expended. Again we feel that we have granted the underclassmen a long-necded concession by the addition of composite pages of Junior, Sophomore and Freshman snaps—a proof that this year book intends at all times to back up its slogan with definite accomplishment. The page devoted to Senior Selections is also a new addition to the 1930 book while a more elaborate sports section is embodied in this Belle Air than in any previous Villanova annual. For the first time since the book assumed major proportions the entire volume is printed on Old Ivory paper. The editorial and business boards are grateful to the many people who have cheer' fully co-operated with us during the year and who have helped us greatly in this undertaking. We are indebted to Alfred Panepinto, “,27, for the art motif that appears throughout this edition. Wc cannot help but feel a deep appreciation for his excellent brand of work which is much in evidence from beginning to end. We wish to thank in particular the Rev. John H. Crawford, O.S.A., for his valuable and instructive advice as faculty advisor of the book. With this brief explanation we place the contents of the 1930 Belle Air before you. This particular volume is dedicated to the Rev. James H. Griffin, O.S.A., presi' dent of Villanova College. The book, however, has been compiled with your interests at heart—it is your book and as such we place it in your hands. Three hundred thirty ««ai Matthew Leib Wm. Faulk Thomas Fitzgerald Richard Murray James Brady O'Neill Martin Joseph De Luca ITIE Three hundred thirtyone ani SIBIS! The Owl t: ,HE Owl. official journal of Villanova engineers, put forth its first edition in September, 1925, and since that time has continued to expand and improve. This publication serves as an important connect' ing link between the alumni and undergraduates of the School of Technology here at the college. It has made such an impression upon the alumni body in its five years of existence that many of them are regular contributors to its pages. One may say, without fear of contradiction, that it has brought into existence a better and closer connection between those who were once students at Villanova and those who are yet to be numbered among her Alumni Body. The Owl boasts a huge list of non-engineer sub- scribers and is circulated among engineering alumni not only in the United States but also in Cuba, the Philippines, South America and parts of Europe. The Rev. Edw. V. Stanford has served as Faculty Advisor of this publication since its inception and his kindly interest in the Owl has helped the journal on many occasions. During the present year the staff has been fortunate in securing Prof. Joseph T. Jonas to serve in the capacity of literary advisor and his valuable assistance in this position has certainly aided the publication. Edmund J. Reilly, '30, acted as Managing Engineer of the Owl during the present year and the official organ of Phi Kappa Phi enjoyed continued success during his regime. During the second semester of each year a new staff is chosen . Thus the Owl functions in an uninterrupted manner and is never without capable talent. ‘Ed Reilly, Editor Three hundred thirty-two The Owl Board Joseph Simpson, '30 John Slattery, '30 Richard Avil, '31 Thomas Brien, '31 John Hickey, '32 Thomas M.

Three hundred thirty'three mmmmmm The Monican IN fostering the various publications, Villanova presents numerous opportunities to students where they may inform all who read the periodicals of the practicability of ideas of their own conception. In this respect, the Scholasticate cannot be excepted; hence the existence of the Monican. It is very important that Villanova should have a publication such as the Monican. The necessity of having a magazine in the Seminary Department absolutely cannot be overemphasized. There must exist some means by which latent literary talent may be discovered and furthered to the fullest extent of its productive power. Many an amateur writer is developed by the constant training that he receives as a member of the staff of a college publication. In later life sermon writing will be an important item in the careers of those who are now prospective priests. Consequently any prop ect that insures advancement in this respect should be beneficial to the Professed who well know what benefits will accrue thereby. Another important feature of the Monican and one not readily overlooked is its use as a medium between the Clergy and the student body. As we have already men' tioned it serves as an important means of uncovering future literary talent. The capa' bilities of certain individuals along these lines are uncovered and the Clergy learn of the possibilities evinced by those who will in time be their successors in mission, school or parish. The Monican is strictly a local affair and this fact alone would tend to stamp it as an outstanding publication. Its success has been remarkable when one considers that every step in the process of its publication takes place within the Seminary walls. Although the Monican may rightfully be termed an amateur publication, yet it has about it an air of professional distinction and rivals many established periodicals for distinctive honors. To the members of the staff, who by their efforts have placed the Monican above all possible reproach, we extend our congratulations. The paper serves its purpose well and may with perfect assurance be permitted to profess a relation and connection with Villanova. Three hundred thirty'four The Junior Courtier Appearing in the middle of Junior Week, the Courtier added much to the success of the week. The book was complete in every detail and the volume showed that the editors had gone to great efforts to make the Courtier of 19JO greater than any of the preceding Junior publications. The new features that had been added made for a most interesting and well balanced volume. Although retaining some of the last years' features the novelty and original concept of the entire work showed the ability of the staff. It may as well be said that the Junior Courtier of 1930 was well done. Stanley Prokop, Business Manager Three hundred thirty-fivc Mendel Bulletin THE Mendel Bulletin, the official organ of Lambda Kappa Delta, made its appear ance on the campus several years ago. The title of this publication was chosen in honor of the Rev. Johann Mendel, O. S. A., whose minute investigations in the past have given to science some startling information concerning heredity. The Rev. Joseph M. Dougherty, Dean of the School of Science, supported this effort on the part of his men. The staff of the Mendel Bulletin is composed of particularly able members of the fraternity whose capabilities insure its success. This publication may be likened to the Owl, official journal of Villanova engi' neers, in that it is the product of a single department of the school. The Mendel Bulletin forms a striking contrast to the Villanovan and Belle Air in many respects, but compares favorably with both when one considers its size and purpose. Such a publication as this does much to establish a better understanding of the problems of the particular department with which it is concerned. It also aids materially in pro- moting a better understanding among the various students in the department and serves as an outlet for the expression of promising literary contributions. Religious Publications IT T HAS long been a custom at Villanova to circulate numerous religious papers and magazines throughout the student body. These are several reasons why such a practice is adhered to among which might be mentioned here the advantage of keeping the college man posted concerning matters of Faith and Morals and secondly, the benefit of having a means to combat religious arguments advanced against the Church. Prominent among the religious magazines and papers circulated throughout the student body for their spiritual welfare and education are the Brooklyn Tablet and the Catholic Standard and Times, two of the leading Catholic newspapers of the country. In practically all of the Religion classes these publications are circulated. The Com' monweal and America, two Catholic magazines, are also on file each week in the library for the use of the students. These papers and magazines make it possible for the men at school to secure the proper information concerning the questions and hap' penings of the day which are of special interest to Catholics. Three hundred thirty-six Qrowth of Publications THE present year was an eventful one in the histories of Villanova's Undergraduate publications. During the past eight months the Villanovan, official student news- paper of the college, has enjoyed a most prosperous and successful regime. Starting the second year of its existence in September, it has improved greatly in size and content over the Villanovan of 1928'29. The Mendel Bulletin, official organ of the Pre-Meds, has also concluded a banner year. This book dedicated to the memory of the Rev. Johann Mendel, O.S.A., has come to be recognized as one of the foremost medical books hereabouts. The Journal Courtier, publication of the third year men, during Junior Week was a pronounced success and enjoyed a large circulation. The Owl, engineering journal, maintained its usual high standards while the Belle Air continued to expand. One cannot help but feel optimistic concerning publications at Villanova if one only compares their condition in 1927 to that of the present day. When the present graduating class entered the college there was no newspaper, no Mendel Bulletin and no Junior Courtier. Of the 1927 publications the Belle Air and Owl alone remain. Succeeding years should witness a still larger expansion in these undergraduate organs. Nothing gains for a college, more publicity, than well established campus publications. The school, however, is still in need of a comic monthly, and also a literary magazine for the expression of student talent in these particular lines. No doubt with the increasing growth evidenced in the college during recent years, these publications will come in time. We sincerely hope that when they do make their appearance on the campus they will receive the support needed to make them established enterprises. The publications must keep pace with the growth of the college for they constitute an important factor in the continued success of any institu- tion. It is doubtful whether any other undergraduate activity is as beneficial as the publications with the possible exception of athletics. Many an undergraduate with a bent towards writing is given an opportunity to exert his talents in this direction. Not a few of these campus editorships lead to bigger things after college days are concluded. At any rate it is indeed a valuable experience for those concerned and certainly merits the support of the faculty and undergraduate body at large.

Symphony Orchestra THE season just ended by the Symphony Orchestra, falls with a rather indefinite thud into the just average classification. True, there were some brightlights but they were few, and yet the ones that did occur indicated a continuous trend towards new musical standards for Villanova. Judged solely from the standpoint of quantity this past season of the Orchestra may be recorded here as negligible; yet from the stand' point of quality, its creative musical successes imparted to the organization an even firmer stability. Always truly representative of its Alma Mater, the Orchestra has never failed, when the opportunity was presented, to add new laurels to its crown. During the semester just ended the Orchestra has been particularly active due to repeated calls to play at functions that have a connection with the drive. This body also furnishes the music for graduation—the final event in which they annually participate. The Orchestra also has somewhat of an reputation off the campus and is very well-known in Philadelphia. Besides playing for numerous outside functions it usually furnishes the music for the many Alumni affairs of the college. The success achieved by this body is due in no small measure to the untiring efforts of Father Fink, Vice-President of the college, who has labored unceasingly in order to insure its continued success. In 1927 the year that the present Senior Class entered Villanova, the Orchestra was entering upon the third year of its existence. Since that time it has grown much larger until at the present time it may be well said that it is a truly representative musical group. The organization, at present, numbers some thirty-five odd members and other aspirants for positions therein are numerous. It is with regret that the Orchestra bids farewell to its members who are numbered among the Class of 1930; men who have been faithful exponents of music. A word of thanks is also due Father Fink for the kindly interest that he manifested towards this organization. -E m mmmmrnm Three hundred forty Symphony Orchestra Members Kalna Gonzales O'Brien Antonnaccio Lartorsky Panzone D'Elia Zyamborsky Meuller Panzer Hackett Gianninni Hoffstien Marra Wilson Kettrick (Conductor) Three hundred forty'one College Band The Band THROUGH the efforts of Rev. Ruellan Fink, O.S.A., the college hand was organized in 1924. Starting out with but a few' players, it has grown steadily both in size and talent until it now compares favorably with any organization of similar size in the East.. During the present year the band was under the direction of James Kettrick, w'ho has devoted much time and energy to the expansion of this body. New uniforms and equipment purchased recently have tended to create a fine impression wherever the band appeared. They have accompanied the football team to Boston College, Bucknell and Temple and have rendered excellent music at all the games which have been played in the Stadium and at Franklin Field. They deserve a great deal of credit for their assistance in arousing the spirit of the student body and for their splendid showing on all occasions. Too much praise cannot be given to Father Fink for the kindly interest that he has manifested towards this organization. Three hundred forty'two V illanovans THE Villanovans have just completed their seventh year as a musical organization. This orchestra has shown wonderful advancement under the capable direction of Jimmie Kettrick, who, as leader of the group, spent not a little time and energy in order to insure their success. Probably no campus dance of any importance was quite complete without music furnished by this capable body of musicians. Their work has been consistently good; —it had to be, otherwise they would not have been retained around Villanova. Their ability has not been confined to the local campus by any means, but rather has spread to the nearby Quaker City, and even to New York. Not a few of the local hotels have engaged their services for an evening of entertainment. Local schools have also had the pleasure of dancing to the intriguing music that they were wont to dispense. It is but reasonable to suppose that in the years to come this organization should enjoy continued success. There is always a demand for competent musicians in any large city and we feel sure that the Villanovans will continue to help supply such a need. Villanovans, College Orchestra Three hundred fortythree ' xtiE tq 36 belle air Belle Masque Mr. Joseph T. Jonas. Faculty Adviser ATE in the spring of 1929 there sprung into exist' ence a dramatic club entitled “Belle Masque.” The word was taken for part from “Belle Air” and the theatrical term, “masque.” The name, a very fitting one, was suggested by one of the members. Although little progress was made in the late months of the school year the budding society bios' somed forth in early September of the 1929'1930 scho' lastic year. When the members returned in early fall, they immediately set about to make the society an active one. The first step was the choosing of officers. Mr. Joseph Tackacs was elected President; Walter Quinn, Vicc'President; Edward Hookey, Treasurer; and James Heron, Secretary. Mr. Joseph J. Jonas, A.M., had already been selected as Moderator and Dramatic Coach. The light comedy, “Toastmaster,” was chosen by the society to be produced as their first dramatic effort. However, after several weeks had been expended on this play it was abandoned that a play of a heavier dramatic vein, one more fitting for college dramatics, might be adopted. A committee was formed to select a play of this type. Finally, upon the vote of the committee and the suggestion of the Mod' erator, Bulwer's “Richelieu” was decided upon. Actual work on the performance did not begin until the mid'term examinations had become a matter of history. But once rehearsals commenced the play made rapid strides in development. Hugh McHugh was selected to play the part of the Cardinal; Tackacs as Baradas; Hookey portrayed Mauprat; John Boyer was chosen as Julie; Joe Foley enacted the role of the conniving DeBeringhen; William Papp played Marion; Joseph Gaynor as Joseph, the old Monk; Donald LaFond as Louis XIII; Frank Remy as Francois and others in the society took the remaining parts. The play opened at the Seville Theatre in Bryn Mawr on the 28th of April and was staged there for two days. From there the performance moved to the Little Theatre in Philadelphia, there meeting with great success. The production received much favorable comment from the Philadelphia papers and it is a direct reflection on Mr. Jonas that the play succeeded as it did. McHugh gave a finished performance as the Cardinal and Hookey portrayed the dashing Mauprat splendidly. John Boyer as Julie, the Cardinals ward, gave a splendid performance of the feminine lead. “Joe” Foley, as DeBeringhen, supplied the light element in the play and provoked frequent laughter. We feel sure that with such a beginning the Belle Masque Dramatic Society will advance far in the field of dramatic endeavor. Three hundred forty-four Belle Masque Members Hookey Bunsa F.

Secretary Treasurer rT 'HE Pre-Medics of Villanova are represented in US the fraternal world by Lambda Kappa Delta. This organization is a society of Catholic medical men that is national in scope. The local unit here on the campus, however, is not affiliated in any way with this major society which limits its membership to doctors alone. The present school year has witnessed a gradual reorganization of the fraternity. For many years past this organization has had a tendency to rise and fall with individual classes, depending entirely upon the James Lane. President merits of the individuals who composed them. This fact did not make for an overly stable organization but during the past two or three years conditions have improved to a marked extent. For one thing the membership has been greatly reduced, only those men showing a spirit of co-operation being considered. Scholastic standing is also a determining factor in the selection of members. The present membership numbers approximately ninety men, including, of course, those who are pledged. At the conclusion of the first semester all Freshmen not incurring more than one condition were pledged. After the mid-years those of the above group who maintained such a standing were admitted to active membership. The annual Pre-Med banquet is the high-light of this fraternity speaking from a social standpoint. This affair is characterized by a spirit of good-fellowship and serves to promote a better understanding between the men enrolled in this course and their professors. The aim of this fraternity is to improve upon the moral and social phase of a young man's college career, and, also to attempt to complete certain details of a cul- tural nature which are to be found in his make-up. It forms an ideal medium for those, who are not athletically inclined or who are otherwise hampered from participating in campus activities, to manifest their interest in the extra-curricular associations which are to be had on the campus. Members of the fraternity can be found in most of the medical schools throughout the East, and the organization should continue to be well represented in these schools in the future.

The Burr Club is an outgrowth but is in no way connected with the now defunct West Catholic Club of Villanova which was in existence until a short time ago. The reorganization was occasioned by the mutual demand of the fellows that some sort of a connecting link be established between their college and their former alma mater. That the purpose has been achieved is now reasonably assured. The activities of the club while not as yet being on the scope desired still arc indicative of the activity of various club members and a short while should find this coterie assuming its proper role in the college. During the month of January a dance was given by the club members, and it is expected that this affair will become an annual one and will be known under the title of the January Jamboree. The initial attendance at this dance was encouraging and augurs well for future Burr functions. That a closer bond of fellowship between West Catholic and Villanova was effected by the activities of this organization will be readily conceded. We trust that time will only tend to strengthen this bond of friendship. Francis Mahan.

Treasurer . . . .Joseph Winterer William Bradley ....J. Callahan ......J. Gaynor THIS club, now in the fourth year of its existence, is one of the most active on the campus. Its members have always been identified with all extra' curricular activities in and about Villanova and the club boasts as members several prominent campus per- sonages. During the present semester five new men have been admitted to the organization and the total enrollment at the present time exceeds thirty members. The club sponsored a dinner'dance during the Christmas holidays at Evergreen Farms and the affair was pronounced a huge success by those who attended. The Evergreen Farms Orchestra furnished the music for this delightful social function. The club is represented in athletics by Bradley and Dougherty in football and “Bill” Christy in freshman track. Joseph Winterer acted as president of the club while Dr. Joseph C. Bartley, O.S.A., was faculty advisor. Joseph Winterer. President Three hundred sixty'five ..Frank E.

Jr The Varsity Club is composed of the letter men of the college in both the major and minor sports. At the present time the four major sports at Villanova are football, basketball, baseball and track. The minor sports include tennis, golf and ice hockey. Any member of one or more of the above-mentioned teams, who wins his letter, automatically qualifies for membership in the Varsity Club. This club, a rather loose organization in many ways, is nevertheless a powerful factor in the extension of athletics at Villanova. Through the medium of this organi- zation the athletes receive the recognition that is rightfully theirs and the letter men of the school are grouped together in one body, a factor which makes for a better feeling among the men who represent Villanova in the athletic world. The Varsity Club takes this opportunity to express to the departing letter men sincere good wishes for every success in the years to come. fVlO-ANOVA.

Club, composed of graduates of the Roman Catholic High School in Philadelphia who have matriculated at Villanova, is an organization of eight years' standing. From a small beginning the club has grown steadily until the total membership now exceeds thirty-five men. One can truly say that it is one of the oldest clubs on the campus, a fact which lends it not a little distinction. That it has survived over so long a period is due no doubt to the fact that Catholic High men are noted for loyalty to their Alma Mater. A long list of achievements has been, and in fact still is, the proud boast of this club. This organization has long been active in intramural athletics and has also con- tributed some excellent material to varsity teams. The major social event is the annual Easter dance given during the second semester. Three hundred seventy ISSIM Laurence Club President . . . Vice-President Secretary . .. Treasurer ... .Edward J. Scannell .James P. Flynn, Jr. ...Edmund J. Burke Joseph A. Choquette THE City of Lawrence is indeed well represented on the Villanova campus, so well in fact that the Lawrence Club has long been a factor in local club circles. Since 1920 this organization has been an active one. The tenth annual Christmas dance was held in Lawrence during the holidays and was very well attended. New England has long been noted for its sterling band of Alumni and they need no second invitation in order to attend any undergraduate function sponsored by the Lawrence Club. We think that the club has done quite a bit towards spreading the name of Villanova throughout the New England states and take this opportunity to con' gratulate it upon the completion of a successful year. Three hundred seventy-one THIS group may rightfully be termed one of the largest of all campus organizations. Composed entirely of non-resident undergraduates, it numbers over three hundred men and represents not a few different localities. During the early years of its regime the 8.15 Club boasted a spacious club room in the Administration Building (now Mendel Hall) where the card-sharps of the organization engaged in many a lengthy and bitter battle. This room served also as a study and smoking room. The disastrous fire during our Sophomore year wiped out these quarters, however, and the club has found none to replace them as yet. How- ever, more spacious and up-to-date club rooms have been promised the 8.15 Club by the Administration and though the “’30” men will not be here to enjoy them, still the underclassmen should derive untold benefits from the same. Father Eugene Mauch served as Moderator and his work in this capacity cannot be praised too highly. James Lane, of Philadelphia, was president for 1929-30.

Conclusion OUR Freshman year marked a turning point in the history of the Belle Air. During that year it acquired the reputation of being one of the foremost annuals of its size in the country, and in the two succeeding years it has not deteriorated. This year we have attempted to better this record, and it is hoped, that by careful research among the year books of the past we, the editors, have not only equaled but have surpassed all others in general appearance and content. This Belle Air marks the fourth year book of major size edited by members of the Senior Class. Its approximate cost is $5,500 with a circulation of 550 copies. This shows a decrease over last year but the aim of the Business Board has been to purchase only so many copies as can be readily disposed of throughout the Undergraduate body. We feel that the Belle Air has a great value for our fellow students, carrying as it does the facts which are of vital interest to them and combining within its covers memories of college days— the happiest of all days. Again we take the opportunity to thank all those who have so cheerfully aided us in the publication of this eighth volume of the Belle Air and trust that its pages will serve to recall happy days and cherished associations.
