As years pass and we look back upon our college career, perhaps if may occur to us that some- thing more than studies made its impression upon our memory. We will recall personalities —friends and associates, pleasant occurrences and events, haunts we frequented. That these memories may be preserved; that at some future time we may relive these happy hours, we, the editors of the 1934 Belle Air, present this memorial to you. May it serve its purpose alwaysl Contents COLLEGE Campus Administration CLASSES Seniors Juniors Sophomores Freshmen ACTIVITIES Religious Athletics Publications Social ORGANIZATIONS Clubs Fraternities Drama Music RETROSPECTION Dedicat To him, who has been our guardian and director . . . .

A glowing picture which arrests the eye and stirs the feeling to an appreciative enthusiasm. We sense the weight of tradition that surrounds the halls—the calm seren- ity of the old and sparkling vitality of the new. As we note the contrast an urge is prompted within us—a curious desire to learn of the past that must truly have lived, to have left Villanova the rich heritage which it is now so proud to possess. Traditionally known as the Belle Air, this volume commemorates the historical day when the title of the famous Belle Air estate passed into the hands of the Augustinian Fathers, and became known as Villanova College. For thirty-eight years after the turn of the eighteenth century, these lands formed the estate of John Rudolph, a Philadelphia merchant. Named after the ancestral home of his father, Belle Air in Maryland, the estate became famed as one of the finest in east- ern Pennsylvania. Shortly after the death of Mr. Randolph in 1838, Belle Air was offered at public sale. The Augustinian Order was at that time seeking a suitable site in the vicinity of Philadelphia for the establishment of a mother house, and consequently was quick to grasp the splendid opportunity of acquiring the desirable property. Negotiations were begun, and the tract of Belle Air was purchased on the day previous to that announced for the public sale, the title being granted to the Brothers of the Order of Hermits of St. Augustine for the sum of $18,000. On the memorable feast of St. Augustine, August 28, 1843, Father O’Dwyer, O.S.A., cele- brated Holy Mass in the oratory of the mansion, dedicating the new monastery, and formally placing it under the patronage of St. Thomas of Villanova, be- loved for his saintly character and kindliness toward the poor. With such an inspiring begin- ning. Villanova took up the work of the higher education of Catholic youth. On September 18. 1843, classes opened with an attend- ance of six students, which THE ORIGINAL BUILDINGS TKirtoon swelled to forty-five within two years. The faculty consisted of three priests and four laymen, who taught on the first floor of the Belle Air mansion. Early in the year 1844 the first new college building was completed, classes being transferred to it immediately. Shortly after, the first prospectus of the college was issued. In the summer of the same year, a new chapel was erected and blessed on Sep- tember I. At this time the Know-Nothing uprising was at its height in Philadelphia during which St. Augustine's Church was burned. Its reconstruction involved such an expense to the Order that classes were ordered suspended until the following year. Reopened in 1846, the first public commencement was held on July of the next year. At this time, Reverend J. A. O'Dwyer O.S.A. was president, having as his asso- ciates Frs. Ashe O.S.A., Kyle O.S.A. and Hartnett O.S.A.. and Messers Gibney and Ainsley, who were lay professors. In 1848, An Act to Incorporate the Augustinian Col- lege of Villanova in the County of Delaware and State of Pennsylvania. was enacted by the Legislature and signed by the Governor, Francis A. Shunk, giving the college a charter by which it was empowered to grant degrees. In the same year the present college seal was adopted and the Ecclesiastical School inaugurated. The oldest building on the campus at present, Alumni Hall, was completed by the half century mark, a year after which Fr. O'Dwyer O.S.A., Villanova's first president, succumbed to a long illness. Fr. Hartnett O.S.A. was elected to succeed to the office. In the year 1855, the degree of Bachelor of Arts was conferred for the first time. A second financial storm swept Villanova in 1857, as a result of which classes were sus- pended for a period of eight years. In September, 1865, after the close of the Civil War, Villanova was reopened by the Fathers as a result of success in the missionary fields. Frs. Middleton, Fedigan and Coleman O.S.A. were successively appointed to the presidency, to be followed by Frs. Sheeran and McEvoy O.S.A. Following the celebration of the Golden Jubilee of the College in June. 1893, the Monastery and College Hall were erected, into which latter the Arts, Engineering and Pre-Medical Schools were incorporated. This great work was accomplished during the fifteen years of Father Delurey's presidency. Fr. Dohan O.S.A. succeeded him in 1910, to be followed by Frs. Dean. Driscoll, Hickey and Sullivan O.S.A., all of whom strove to further the now fast pace of Villanova’s progress. The present St. Rita's Hall stands as but another testimony to the determination and undying courage of the Augustinian Fathers to achieve their aims. Its construction was occasioned by the destruction of its predecessor by fire in 1912. In the same year Corr Hall, which now houses the Seminarians, was begun. The long simmering fires of war broke out shortly, scorching practically every nation with its flames. With the entrance of our country into the strug- gle. Villanova became the site of one of the many training quarters which were established throughout the East. The decision rendered, peace returned to the world and once more the college resumed its normal atmosphere. VILLANOVA IN IMS Fourteen A school of Commerce and Fi- nance was inaugurated in 1922 to meet the demand for training in the business field. An increase in enroll- ment necessitated the erection of a new dormitory, Austin Hall, in 1925. A library containing over 30,000 vol- umes was incorporated in its east wing. An intensive program of devel- opment was initiated in 1926, when the Rev. James H. Griffin O.S.A. was elected president, a plan which has favorably progressed in spite of a series of disheartening disasters which have struck Villanova within the past few years. A ruinous fire leveled College Hall in January, 1928, destroy- ing student living quarters, classrooms and nearly all of the offices and records. Within an amazingly short time, however, the stately walls of modern Mendel Hall arose from the ashes, another tribute to the dauntless spirit of our educators and advisors. At the same time, to accommodate the ever-increasing numbers of new students, Fedigan Hall, our latest dormitory, was constructed. A strongly felt need for roomier quarters for the School of Commerce and Fi- nance, and adequate facilities for the proper physical development and recreational enjoyment of the college students, culminated in the opening of two magnificent struc- tures that more than satisfy those demands. The splendid new business building furnishes every convenience conducive to learning, while the gigantic field house has become the envy of many of the larger colleges in the East. Directly connected to the gym- nasium is a regulation type, tiled swimming pool. During the summer of 1932, the election of Rev. Edward V. Stanford O.S.A. as President marked the advent of a new administration. Hardly had the new officers en- tered upon their duties than they were called upon to cope with one of the most heart- rending misfortunes that had ever struck the campus. In August, the Monastery, home of the Augustinian Fathers for over half a century, was totally destroyed by another fire. Temporarily dispossessed of practically every belonging, the Fathers with charac- teristic patience and fortitude, took up temporary quarters in other parts of the col- lege grounds. Immediately work was begun on the erection of the new Monastery so recently completed. A beautiful Gothic structure, it is indicative of the spirit and deter- mination of the Augustinian Fathers. Truly does it offer the abode so deservedly theirs. Villanova has told its tale. Its story in time has been found to have been a truly full one: the more absorbing by reason of the manifold struggles from which Villanova has emerged the victor. The efforts of our beloved Fathers nave not been in vain, for Villanova is now on the threshold that holds every promise of a glowing future. May we hope and pray that we may ever share in aiding our Alma Mater in her every undertaking, in order that succeeding generations of Catholic youth may be served in the interests of Him to Whom we owe all success.

Having as a nucleus for development the lawns and gardens of the Belle Air estate of John Randolph, years of carefully planned landscaping have made it the acme of natural grandeur, and architectural splendor. The following pages will offer to the reader a pictorial panorama of our Alma Mater. A poor attempt to reproduce the magnifi- cence that is so clearly portrayed when one beholds our Villanova in its natural vista. Monastery...

Chaplain REV. CHARLES J. P. BROWN. O.S.A.. A.M. HOW often does the debt of gratitude and apprecia- tion we owe to our professors crystallize into words of thanks and praise? For four years have they la- bored in acquainting us with that knowledge so necessary for success in the world today. For four years have they labored, instilling in us those ideals of Catholic education which are analogous with training at Villanova. It is therefore with an immense appreciation of the gratitude due to our professors that we leave our Alma Mater. If we but strive to carry out the principles which they have endeavored to imbue in us, and profit by their example to the best of our ability, we feel that we shall repay, in some small measure, the debt we owe to them and Villanova.

A COLLEGE, like any other large corporation, requires, if it is to be successful, that there be within its organization a group of indi- viduals to act as advisors in financial matters. The Board of Trus- tees was installed at Villanova to fulfill this most important duty. The administration early realized that for such a board to function efficiently, it was necessary that there be among its members men associ- ated with the outer world. Therefore we find two members of worldly experience, together with five leaders of the Augustinian Order constitut- ing this body. These men have labored faithfully and untiringly in discharging the all important financial duties of the college, and it is due in large measure to their efforts, that Villanova is able to provide us with that training so necessary for the success of the Catholic layman. It is our fond hope that in future years this page will enkindle within us that feeling of appreciation which is so undeservedly theirs. Thirty- til REV. BERNARD M. ALBERS. O.S.A.. A.M.

Fifty The Student Council THE student council consists of two elected members from the sophomore class, three from the junior class, the president of each campus fraternity, the oditors of tho Bollc Air, the Villa- novan, the Villanova Engineer and the Mendel Bulletin; the pres' dent of the senior class, and two elected seniors. The last two hold the offices of chairman and vice-chairman, and a secretary is elected by the members. Though the outstanding function of the student council is to act as intermediary botween the student body and the faculty, it has many other duties equally important. Perhaps we can best understand the nature and duties of the student council if we men- tion some of its problems and accomplishments of the past year. Soon after the opening of school, the student council had an important decision to make. For some time there had been a mis- understanding about the distribution of complimentary tickets to campus affairs. The group decided this mattor to tho satisfaction of all and the correction of abuses. Then, when thoro was a change in schedule on the Philadelphia and Western, making it impossible to arrive at Villanova at the required time, it was by the efforts of this body that the time was advanced. And it was the student council also which held the great rally in the Auditorium, and burned the bonfire before the Temple game. Perhaps, however, the best illustration of the co-operation effected by the student council with the faculty was demonstrated in the poll conducted concerning the Thanksgiving recess. Many students were in favor of a curtailed Thanksgiving vacation and a prolonged Christmas period. When the stu- dent council was informed of this condition, permission to hold a vote on the question was secured, and after the result of the poll was announced. Father Stanford made the necessary change, lengthening the Christmas vacation. Though often criticized, being the recipient of much unfavorable comment, when the circum- stances surroundinq any particular decision or problem are known and examined, such criticism is un- warranted and undeserving. The student council is an organization of which every Villanovan should be proud. This year especially has it done much in harkening to the pie is of the students and Joing all in its power to satisfy them. To the members who composed that body we offer our sincere appreciation. 8anmlll f. Ow Su«. M«6r«(h Staf+d—Htrltr, Hurl y, Pr � .; W«!� h, K«lly Fifty-ono School of Arts and Letters ON SEPTEMBER 18. 1843. the inception of Villanova Col- lege with a faculty of three priests and four lay pro- fessors. and a student body of six. marked, thus humbly, ♦he beginning of the School of Arts. Philosophy and Letters. By 1845. the number of this small group of students had in- creased to forty-five: and it needed but the recognition embraced in the awardal of a State Charter on March 10. 1848. to fully raise this School to the rank of a College, and enable it to confer degrees. The first honored recipients of the Bachelor of Arts degree were James T. Dooley and Henry C. Alexander, who were graduated in 1855. «v. eusene a. mauch, O.S.A.. a.m. But Ijfffo ;s known of tho curriculum during this time except that some of the boys read Cicero's Orations, and Virgil: there was a Greek class, and Master James P. Barr followed an advanced course in the Classics. It is in- teresting to noto that classes wore held partly in the study hall, and partly in the parlor of the building which is now known as Alumni Hall. In 1857 the College was forced to close because of a depression. However, it re-opened in 1865, having sixty-five students. At this time French. German. History and Politics were added to the cur- riculum. From this time on. the rise of the School was both rapid and successful. The only other change in the course of study came in 1905. which date saw the addition of Economics. Sociology and Pedagogy. Today, the Arts Department stands as the oldest and most revered school on the campus. Stead- fast in its adherence to Classical Standards, and secure in the results of its adherence, this School en- dures. a lasting monument to those principles which are the guide and mainstay of all culture and civilization. The Arts School deals not with tho narrowness of specialization, nor with the vagueness of mero generalization. Rather is it concerned with the instillation of those principles, from which may flow all that is necessary for Truth. Beauty and Goodness. In a society which is continually changing, it is only the possession of these principles which can definitely insure the flexibility of mind so essential for the adjustment of the individual to his particular environment. Also, the education provided and imparted by the Arts Course is so universally funda- mental as to form a sound basis for any of the professions. For the past four years Reverend Eugene A. Mauch. O.S.A., has been Dean of the Arts School. Under his supervision and kindly guidance, it has risen to new heights of pedagogical excellence. It is our proud boast that the sound training afforded by our Arts School is second to none: and for the unremitting labors of Father Mauch in our behalf, we have much for which to be thankful. Thus do we turn another page in the history of the School of Arts. Through the long years, whether encountering the storms of depression or the ravages of fire, it has prevailed. All that is rich in the traditions of humanity, and all that is emblazoned in the checkered course of history, will always find a ready entrance into the hearts of men through the medium of this School. And the austere hand of Classicism, reaching unfalteringly across the ages, will continue ever to guide succeeding gener- ations to a better and fuller understanding of the meaning of Life. School of Technology WITH the Inauguration of the School of Technology In 1905. the honor of being the first Catholic college in the East to offer Catholic students courses in Engineering was be- stowed upon Villanova. The Administration of that period felt the need of such a course, in order that they might afford Catholic students the opportunity of training in that field which was then coming Into prominence. And when the college opened in the fall of 1905. courses in Civil Engineering were offered. Under the direction of Rev. Dr. Lawrence A. Delaurey. O.S.A.. assisted by Prof. A. B. Carpenter. E.E., C E. (Lehigh), and Rev. J. J. Dean, O.S.A., the venture was successful from the outset. Encouraged by the manner in which the civil courses were received, ond the rapid progress being made in the field of Elec- tricity. the following year saw the inclusion of courses in Electrical Engineering. This course met with the same success as the first and the permanency of the School of Technology was assured. The year 1908 saw the inception of the Mechanical Engineering Department. Under the direction of Prof. Frederick B. Seely. M.E. (Worcester Tech.), this department progressed rapidly and soon had reachod the admirable position of its precedossors. It was this year also that marked the advent of Carl T. Humphrey M.S., Sc.D.. as Dean of the School of Technology. His vast experience In the world of engineering, being associated with several construction companies—and his teaching ability, hav- ing held positions at Harvard and M. I. T.. ably fit.led him for the dischargement of his new duties. Under his guidance advancement was rapid, and In 1918 the addition of a course in Chemical Engineering definitely established Villanova s as one of the leading schools of Technology in the country. So rapid has been its rise that in some circles the nemo Villanova is synonymous with engineering. Though its progress has been phenomenal, it must not be thought that the splendid achievement was brought about by ordinary effort. It is a well known fact that the expense of an engineering edu- cation. if borne by the student alone, would be practically prohibitive. Therefore, the Inauguration of the School of Technology, and constant addition of new equipment for the laboratories, called for prodigious monetary expense on the part of the Augustinian Fathers. However, manifesting that spirit of determination which characterizes thoir every effort, thoy have carrlod on. surmounting all obstacles: and at tho present, tuition rates compare with those of the other schools on the campus. Today, the School of Technology looms as the brightest star in the halo surrounding Villanova's scholastic glory. Its courses comoare with those given in any College or University in the country. Although specialization is the keynote of its success, the recent inclusion of religious and cultural sub- jects has done much in elevating its status and affording the students a well rounded education. The highest of praise Is due to Carl T. Humphrey. M.S.. Sc.D., who has been Dean for the past sixteen years. Under his guidance the School has made its greatest advances, and the scholastic standing of the School has received due recognition in every quarter. Villanova is Indeed fortunate in having a man of such ability at the head of its technical school. Such leadership, supported by the dauntless spirit and courageous determination manifested by the Fathers in the history of this school, should continue ever to reta’n for it the enviable position it now holds, and foster it in attaining even greater heights. CAKl T. HUMrMWr. s.� .. M.S.. D.Sc. 0««n Fifiy-three School of Science m THE School of Science, of which we mey justly be proud, is one of the youngest schools on the campus. Up to 1912 students who entered medical schools re- quired but a general college education. However, in this year. tne Council on Medical Education of the American Medical As- sociation deomed it necessary to increase the entrance require- ments. in an endeavor to curb the dangers that were gradually endangering the profession. With this enactment, requiring a minimum of two years study in scientific subjects, students at Villanova found themselves unprepared for pursuing a medical careor. However, the Auqustinian Fathers, displaying the same spirit of progression which has ever permeated their actions, made plans to cope with the new difficulty. Accordingly, in the fall of 1914. the Rev. C. P. O'Neil, O.S.A., Prefect of Studies, made provi- sions for those students in the School of Arts who desired to enter the field of medicine. With the addition of scientific subjects, the course was approved by the Board of Regents of the State of New York, and also met with the requirements of the various agencies recognized by the American Association of Medical Colleges, and the Federal Federation of the State Boards of Medi- cal Licensure, so that the students were fully prepared to enter the chief medical schools in the country. With the acquisition of such recognition, the enrollment increased rapidly, and in 1916, the pre-medical course severed connections with the School of Arts. Rev. Ruellan P. Fink was appointed Dean of the new department, and under his able and excellent leadership the school was successful from the outset. Laboratories were constructed and modernly equipped, and more advanced and thorough technical courses were added to the curriculum. REV. JOSEPH M. DOUGHERTY. O.S.A.. Pk.D.. S.T.L. 0««n Realizing tho nocossity also of complementing such technical study with courses that would irs of tne in..... anguages Ethics was also provided so that Catholic students might have a better understanding of the prin- develop the moral and esthetic powers of tne individual, the following years saw the inclusion of courses in Literature. Modern Languages and Philosophy in the curriculum. A very complete course in ciples of Catholic morality, so essential in the life of the physician. Father Finlc continued as head of the School of Science for ton years and under his direction the embryo school gradually developed to become one of the leading schools on the campus and one of the foremost pre-medical schools in the United States. When Father Fink was elected to the office of Vice-President in 1926. he relinquished his charge to the Reverend Joseph M. Dougherty. O.S.A.. Ph.D.. the present Dean. Having the betterment of the interests of the students always at heart, the school has continued to flourish under his direction. The addition of courses seldom found in pre-medical schools, such as Human Anatomy, Immun- ology and Food Chemistry have greatly aided in increasing the recogni- tion and prestige of this school. To Dean Doughorty and his school we extend our sincerest good wishes and hope that it will continue ever to retain the high position it now holds. Fifty-four School of Commerce and Finance CONDITIONS after the war found it necessary to have men trained and experienced in the workings of a highly devel- oped financial world. Villanova, mindful of this need, in- augurated for the first time in September. 1920. courses in the commercial science affiliated with the Arts School. Reverend George O'Mera. then Vice-President of the college, took charge of the newly formed school. Two years later, when the increase in students necessitated the addition of new facilities, the school was moved to Alumni Hall, severing connections with the Arts REV- JOSERH c- a tley. O.S.A.. School and thus was formed the School of Commerce and Finance. Om 1'1 With the formation of the new department, the Rev. Joseph C. Bartley, who a short time previous had completed his studies at the Catholic University in Wash- ington. receiving the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, was appointed Dean. In 1928 mid term students were first admitted, and although the other schools joined in trying this policy, it was considered impracticable. The inauguration of the Evening School in 1929. and tne inclu- sion of business courses in summer session, proved new means to men and women wishing to receive their baccalaureate degree in business administration. A state accredited teaching course was incorporated in the school's curriculum in 1930 for those students wishing to teach business subjects. This new department has been received with such en- thusiasm and fervor that it has promises of expanding into a school of its own. A constant increase in the enrollment made evident to the authorities the necessity to provide more ample and suitable facilities. So in 1930 plans were drawn and the construction of the Commerce and Finance Building was begun. May. 1931, found the new building completed with all the modern convenience of a perfect school. The Commerce and Finance Building was the first unit of a proposed quadrangle comprising Library. School of Commerce and Finance, and Refectory, with an Engineering Annex, but these efforts were used to build a new Monastery to replace the building destroyed by the disastrous fire of 1932. At the present time eleven professors teach 58 separate courses in the School, and major studies may be pursued in: Accounting. Economics. Education. English. Finance. Insurance. Law, Philosophy and Transportation. A prescribed schedule is prepared for the Freshman, but in the second year the stu- dent selects the subject in which he expects to major. This year in September, the Commerce and Finance School will celebrate its thirteenth anniversary. It is duo entirely to the untiring efforts and the genius of Father Bartley that the school has grown to be the largest in numbers of all the schools on the campus, and has gained national recognition as one of the country's leading Business Administration Schools. To Father Bartloy and his school we wish the greatest succoss. Fifty-fivo The Theological School WITH the founding of an Ecclesiastical School at Villanova in 1848, all who wished to study for the priesthood could now do so without going abroad. The Theological School thus became the second school in Villanova's history si years after the founding of the Arts School. The first professor or the Theo- logical School was Father Harnett. O.S.A.. who was also Vice- President of the College. He taught Theology and Moral Philoso- phy. Mr. Charlos Egan, a native of Cork, Ireland, was the first cleric at this school. He was received into the novitiate on May 18. 1848. Close on the entering of Mr. Charles Egan came that of Michael F. Gallagher on the 15th of August in the year follow- EV. PAUL M. JUDSON. O.S.A.. A.M. - , P4q M.U.r ' 9- 1 However, even though the Seminary was not established until 1848. a Historical Sketch of St. Augustine's Church. Philadelphia. by Reverend F. X. McGowan, clearly shows that Mr. Patrick A. Stanton was a theological student at Villanova in 1847. It is also related that botween the years of 1857 and 1865 twenty-seven young men were taught at Villanova for the priestly calling. The first ordination to be held at Villanova took place on All Saints day. 1857. when Brother Peter Crane received this distinction. From the records compiled by Father Middleton in his Histori- cal Sketch of Villanova College, it is learned that five hundred and thirty-one students were enrolled between the opening of the school and 1893. In 1865 the curriculum of the school included courses in Logic. Metaphysics. Ethics. Natural Religion. Moral and Dogmatic Theology. Canon Law. Church History. Sacred Scriptures and Liturgy. The re- gents in charge of the school from that time on were: Father Neno. O.S.A.. who was succeeded by Father Middleton. O.S.A.. followed by the Augustinian Fathers Locke. Tourschor. Hickey, who is now Assistant General of the Order. Kovanaugh. and the present regent Father Diehl. To a great extent the success of Villanova Colloge depends upon the efforts of the Theological School. Almost the entire faculty of the college is drawn from the graduates of this Seminary. And to the present, the Theological School has not failed in producing the best of professors and in- structors. In the noble work to which this school is dedicated, we feol sure that with the continued blessing of God it will further increase both in circumstance and effect: which latter can only be measured in that final reckoning which deals with the worth and virtue of civilizations. Fifty- ! [ Summer and Extension Schools OVER o period of more than seventeen years, Villanova has offored her facilities and faculty for collegiate instruction to the hundreds of Sisters of many religious communities in Pennsylvania and adjoining States. This has been accomplished mainly through the agencies of the Summer and Extension Schools. Those Schools aim to provide a general college education and a professional training for the Sisters who intend to teach in the parochial school system. In order that the teachers in the secondary schools would be better fitted for the teaching profession, the Legislature of the State of Pennsylvania, in 1918. passed a bill demanding that High School teachers possess a collegiate degree from some recognized college or university. Sensing the enactment of such legislation, the Fathors of the Augustinian Order, in 1916. inaug- urated an Extension School under the able guidance of three of its members. Frs. Hickey. Kehoe. and Kavanaugh, O.S.A.. who were acting under the supervision of Father Dohan, O.S.A.. then holding the presidential chair. The first students were the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, who took courses in Philos- ophy at Villanova on Saturday mornings. Since 19 18. this work has boon regularly carried on at the John W. Hallahan Catholic Girl's High School in Philadelphia. With the final passage of the bill by the Legislature, we find the institution of a Summer school at Villanova in the year 1918. With the Summer and Extension Schools now in operation, it soon be- came quite easy for the Sisters to fulfill the necessary State requirements. In 1920. Father Rafter. O.S.A., was appointed as the first Dean of the Summer and Extension Schools under Father Driscoll as president, and ?3rved in this capacity until 1924. Father Sparrow. O.S.A., acted as Doan from 1924 to 1931. when he was succeeded by the present Dean. Father Bartley. O.S.A. Although the Summer School is particularly adapted to the educational needs of the Sisters, who make up over ninety per cent, of the entire enrollment, the school sessions are also open to those lay students who desire to further their educational development. The major part of the curriculum consists of courses in English. Education. Philosophy. Sciences. Modern Languages and Latin. We also find a limited number of subjects in the curricula of Engineer- ing, Pre-Medical and Commerce for those students enrolled at Villanova or other institutions, who wish to take advanced work or are required to make up deficiencies. The courses are of collegiate or gradu- ate grade, carrying credit accordingly, while the entrance requirements are the same as those neces- sary for the fall sessions. To Father Bartley, present Dean of the Summer and Extension Schools, belongs the credit of bringing this educational institution to now heights, which had not beon previously reached: to new honors which have been attained as a result of his untiring efforts, his exceptional ability and per- severance. To you. Father Bartley, and your Schools, we. the Class of 1934. wish unlimited success in carrying forward the work so nobly begun by the Augustinian Fathers. REV. JOSEPH C. BARTLEY, O.S.A.. P� .D..

NIYLON Trt«tur«r Class Message THE time of graduation should be a happy one for it marks the culmination, for many of us, of our educational careers. However, even for those who intend to pursue advanced studies, it marks the end of pleasant days spent at Villanova—and yet, happy though we should be upon the reaching of one of the most important periods in our lives, we are sure a feeling of sorrow pervades each and every one of us. It seems but such a short yesterday that we entered these portals, but for four long years have we been striving to attain the ideals which Villanova implants in the hearts of its students. As we leave, we sense our responsibility. We are Villanova graduates, and as such we shall be looked upon as examples of Villanova training. Therefore, it is our duty to always live in conformity with those princ:p!es which the Augustinian Fathers have taught us. and truly will success be ours. To our Alma Mater, may she continue ever to prosper and flourish in the cause to which she is so nobly dedicated. Siitylwo SENIOR HISTORY ON THE day that we first entered Vilianova, to be numbered among the ranks of the Seniors seemed to be a bright vision which would bo an age in becoming an actuality. But looking back upon those first days as Freshmen seems to be retrospecting only into the last few weeks. Tho years have flown by on wings, and there is not one among us who would not call them back if he could. The long years to which we eagerly looked forward havo shortened miraculously, and have thrust us onto the threshold of a new life with hardly a warning. If we could relive those magic days when we first walked the campus in our dinks and sported very chic squares of cardboard for our better identification! The upperclassmen, from the Sophomores to the Seniors, seemed to be men upon a higher plane, to which it was to bo our main endeavor to lift ourselves. And if we forgot for a moment that they were, for any length of time, a race apart from the ignoble frosh.'' we were soon reminded of it by a very vigilant Vigilance Committee, assisted by the entire upper class body, and the largest class of Freshmen that Vilianova ever had was very effectively kept in the place of Freshmen at any properly vigilanteed college. We had been frightened by hoarse threats of being made to wear our regs until the end of May. but. intoxicated by the smashing finish of the football season, the upperclasses softened, admitted us to full fellowship, and a lock of regs a short time after the close of the season. Our one day athletic meet with the sophomores proved to bo a groat succoss for everyone, including us, until the fatal tug-of war. It is still a mystery to us how a mere handful of Sophomores were able to drag over a hundred and fifty frosh through the muddiest pond within gun-shot of Villa- nova. Some of the less responsible spirits in our class have, for the last three years, persistently circulated the story that a pair of Fords had been tied to the other end of the line which had been hidden by the crowd of spectators who had come to see some of us take a ducking. However, we scout the notion; but if there is ever a class reunion, and someone from the preceding class admits that he was the one who tied those cars to the end of the line, at that reunion, the college pond is going to receive a customer who should have been dragged through years before. After the mid-year recess we assumed the dignity of a duly organized class. O'Connell. Scanlon. McGraw and McGee were elected President, Vice-President. Secretary and Treasurer respectively: and the class began to plan to enter the formal social field at Vilianova. In the late spring we held the Frosh Hop, the last of those time hallowed affairs to be given by a Freshman class at Vilianova. Those who know sneaked up to us weeks later, after all the fuss had died down, and told us for our private ears that it was the best of the frosh hops, by at least two arguments. When we returned to college after an anticipatory summer we could hardly be distinguished from the seniors, we were so imbued with our own knowledge and importance. The frosh of that year hadn't a chance. They were put in regs. and kept there meek as mice until we pleased to let them off. which was immeaiately after they had beaten us rather badly in the annual Soph-Frosh games. We had looked forward to treating the Frosh to an initiation which would surpass ours of the preceding year. We had been liberally treated to fur coats of molasses and feathers, beaten up a bit, and then marched in our pajamas to Bryn Mawr. stopping more traffic than a president's funeral. Upon our arrival we per- formed in a dozen ways for the amusement of the college, the town, and a few girls from Bryn Mawr. Who could forget the Riley-Zaff match? The Shakesperean soliloquy of Rourke? The hundred other inanities which made the night a success from all angles but ours? And with such experience to support us we intended to give the frosh something to remember us by. We did. A tea party! The party was a great success, especially the thoft of most of the ice-cream with which the Frosh woro stuffed! The following day tho scandal was stopped upon the discovery of the missing ice-cream in the college S!xty-thr«« refractory's Ice-box. where it had been placed by mistake. Anyway, we all had some for lunch the next day. The athletes of the class had by this time proved themselves Varsity material, and among them Tom O’Donnell, Toby Cavanaugh, and Whitey Randour had pre-empted posts on the team, and held them for their throe seasons of Varsity play. The Baskotbell team had three of our class in the lineup, and we didn't slight the baseball team either. Several of us made the squad, and developed into good men on the field, especially the same Toby Cavanaugh, who cinched nis berth at short for the next three years. Our second venture into the social world at Villanova was during the spring Sports Dance hold jointly with the Frosh. It was a success, but everyone looked bock to the first dance of our college career as dance givers with regret. Our third year rolled around with surprising speed, and we found ourselves able to look upon the incoming Frosh os mere children when compared with us lordly Juniors. The sport of baiting the Frosh was. to us. only for the more immature minds of the Sophomores, for whom we had a good natured tolerance as the Frosh of last year. Our superiority complex was quickly stripped from us. however, when we hit our first exams, and awoke to the realization that only a year separated us from tnat status which we had so coveted when we wero Freshmen. It was our Junior year that saw us begin to have an active insight into the outside world which was being whirled nearer at a startling rate oy every turn of the earth which saw another day pass. The class officers elected for tho Junior year had been Bill O’Prey. President. Ed McBride. Vice- President, Frank Ditchey, Secretary, and Jim Crowley as Treasurer. Elections saw bitter strife for the few days preceding the casting of the ballots, and the year had ended before the smoke cleared away. Junior woek rolled around, and Al Gagliardi was appointed as Chairman of activities. Under his enterprising direction, the week, which we had all looked forward to from our freshmen days, was a great event. The Traditional Blazer Ball which preceded the Prom was a colorful one. and the Prom itself, with music by the famous band of Phil Emerton. was a Junior Promenade which the entire class will remem- - ber as long as they think of college Proms. The blazers seemed to push us right into our Senior year, and to us for throe years the wearers of blazers were Soniors. and to have blazers ourselves was to be almost one of the elect. Tho first day of registration for upperclassmen saw the class gathered for thoir last year together. We had been friends and classmates for three yeors. and the sudden realization that the last short year of our four years of comradeship was beginning sobered us all. and seemed to mako tho Seniors gather together as if they had no other friends in the world. In a few days the feeling that the precious hours of friendship must be savored to the full began to woar off. as we realized that we had settled into merely another year of work, even though it was our last. Officers had been elected before we left at tho end of Junior year, and a complete change SJxtyfour had taken place. Tom McFeeloy was president, Bill Sirica was vice-presidont, Joe Morrison was secretary, and Joe Neylon was treasurer. Under their guidance we emerged from our four years of organized life with a credit in our treasury and a long list of activities upon which to look back. The football team of our senior year promised to be just about the best of them during our college days, and the mainstays of it were from among us. Whitey Randour was Captain, and one of the best halfbacks in the country. He was picked by several of the All-America boards, and was unanimously picked as the best in the East. His scoring led the backs of the major Eastern colleges for the 1933 season. Toby Cavanaugh was quarter, and all of us who saw him play this season, and cheered our throats raw at the Temple game, will always remember him as the coolest man on the field: and the headiest field-general that any college ever had the luck to have running their ball-club. Vinco Zizac, the Grizzly Bear of Fedigan, stood as a medium sized rock wall for opposing backs to wear themselves down on. and Tom O'Donnell and several others played the season's string out as members of our last team. Next year there will be not one of us left, and we like to remembor all who put thoir courage and brains to the service of Villanova. The year turned the corner of midyear exams, and we found ourselves, much to our surprise, looking graduation in the face and wishing that it were just a few more weeks away so that we might spond that pitifully small fraction of the years to come with our friends who had become almost necessary to us after four years of pleasant companionship: for work shared, and of fun shared: of trouble and laughter, so mixed as to make almost a kaleidoscope of our emotions. Wo had scrapped and playod and studied with each other, and to bo almost torn apart by the end of our college life was a tragedy. The Senior Ball was a salve, for a time, to our unrest and regret, and under the guiding hand of Don Rodington was a wonderful finish to four years of social activity. We enjoyed every minute of it. and hope that in the future we can a I meet again to dance at a continuation of our Senior Ball. Examinations came arouno w.m p.enty of starch in them, but our four years of work srood up tor us. and we were able to pass them to the satisfaction of everyone. For us. college had ended. We have spent four years at Villanova. and have seen wonderful improvements. The Monastery, the Gymnasium, and the Commerce and Finance school have all been erected during our years. We have a feeling of kinship with the college, since we have watched a remarkable development during our stay, which makes the parting more difficult. To the incoming Seniors we extend our greeting, and only regret that it is not wo who are the class which is going up another rung in the ladder of college years. Our college has given us a training which has been imbuod with Catholic principles, and she has given us friends who are what men should be. There is no more to ask of her: we can only say good-by.

Serious in work or ploy, ho pursues his daily tasks without murmur or criticism. It is well to know a fellow like him, for he is an exempJory similitude of one who does things well. Being a natural leader, he was first to lead the ten-minute boys in retreat from irksome tutorage. Nevertheless he was successful in study, and holds on enviable position in the class standing. Hail a student—forewell to a staunch friond. Ninety-two LEONARDO MICHAEL DI BERARDINO 8«ch«lor of Sc'onco in Economic! GEORGETOWN PREP. SCHOOL WASHINGTON. 0. C.

NICHOLAS Dl MARIA Bechelor of Science in Biology BROOKLYN ACADEMY BROOKLYN. N. Y. W E ARE aware that Brooklyn has sent forth many notables some to the world of the cinema, others to the the- atrical world, and her Indians in the financial world have proven their versatility. Nick also hails from the Manhattan suburb, and has done well to bring fame to that island. We acknowledge his seriousness of purpose, and con- gratulate him on his diligent application to the work he has chosen as his profession. He has spent more than a normal amount of time and effort in preparing for medical study. Such sincerity can not go unrewarded. May his efforts be compensated by the fruits of success.

AN ATTEMPT at an analysis of Frank's character and per- sonality provokos a most difficult problem. Ever since our Freshman year he has distinguished himself by his ver- satility. Possessing a keen intellect, he was always among the class leaders. Socially his record was an enviable one. In nearly every branch of campus activities he contributed greatly of his time and efforts, and all have benefited by his participation. His willingness to lend assistance, coupled with his ability to form many and lasting friendships have made him one of the most popular men of our class. Though we know his success is assured in the medical profession, we hope that he enjoys that which is deservedly his. the best. JOHN FARRELL DOUGHERTY B«cH«lor of AH� LA SALLE INSTITUTE ALBANY. N. Y.

Oft Ku« Jrod {©f?y-nine JUNIORS Junior Class History President John Hoey Vico-Pfojiden! George C. htalhame Secretary John Mahaffey Treasurer William H. Grimberg OUR first year at Villanova lives yet vivid in our memory. Immediately upon our arrival, we hastened up the path that led to the Administration Building. Here we brightly parroted an- swers to the various questions and at last were led forth College Freshmen, complete in every sense of the word. We were then given a rousing welcome by the Vigilantes, and, after being properly outfitted in the customary Freshman manner, there began three merry months of hectic chase: and the old Mon- astery fairly creaked under our efforts to conceal ourselves, and avoid harkening to the howls of the Vigilantes. Initiation night, however, finally put an end to our troubles, for the regal feasting on cookies and ice cream, which climaxod the activities of the evening, formally announced our acceptance by the student body of the college. Came the Christmas recess and with it much joy at returning home once more. However, we were soon back again aDplying ourselves industriously to our studies, as there loomed on the horizon the ominous shadow of the mid-year examinations. With the advent of the second semester we elected the following class officers: President. John Brown: Vice-President. William H. Grimberg: Secretary. Walter E. Allesandroni; Treasurer. Joseph B. Weisenbeugh. Under their skillful management things progressed very smoothly. At last wo were organized and formally recognized as a class. We began to take a new interest in things and gave our whole hearted support to all activities in the col ege program. Our Freshman year culminated in a blaze of g'ory with the combined Sophomore-Freshman Spring Dance. This was the first time in the history of the school that the Sophomore and Freshman classes had ever held a joint social function. It was necessitated by the lateness of the dates set for the Junior and Senior dances. However, even though we were thus denied the privilege of having a dis- tinct Freshman activity, the dance proved most enjoyable and was indeed a happy ending to a happy year. After the summer recess, the fall of 1932 saw us back again at Villanova: this time not as lowly Freshmen, but as exalted Sophomores. It was now our turn to impress upon the Freshmen a sense of their unworthiness and general inferiority. However, due to a change in the rules concerning Freshmen conduct, much of what was origin- ally planned had to be regretfully cancelled. After one or two gulps at the unaccustomed sight of Freshmen walking erect, without the enforced stoop demanded by the hobble-gobble. we soon ad- justed ourselves to this anomaly. So passed the greeter part of the first semester. We now began to assume important roles in the affairs of the campus. Our men were achieving many distinctions in the various extra-curricular activities. The Pie Shoppe buzzed with talk of our wits. The many social functions glittered the more, because of the presence of our many young bucks. The furtive step of the Freshmen had given way to the leisured troed of the upper classmen. Our officers for this year were: President. John L. Brown: Vice-President. George C. Malhame; Secretary. Walter E. Alessandroni; Treasurer. Joseph D. Weisenbeugh. % On hundred fifty-two The Sophomore Cotillion under the direction of Paul Loughlin successfully brought an eventful second year to a close. Swaying to the enchanting melodies of the Villanovans, who. with Ray Barrata wielding the baton, never played better, a laughing throng gaily testified that this danc was ore of th9 most enjoyable of the season. And thus, by a happy combination of work and play, we made sure that this year at Villanova marked a step further in our advance to the ideals of education. Again in our third year we were busily engaged in both carrying out and making tradition. Under the leadership of John Hoey. our class president, we enjoyed a most delightful Junior Week. Blazers, Class Rings. Blazer Ball and Junior Promenade, all merged into the scintillating glory of a never to be forgotten week. Also, in effecting a new design for the School Ring, we have established a precedent which we hope will forever endure. On the athletic field we were well represented.We boast of such stars on the football team as Lee. Walsh, Cook, Grimberg, Blanchard, Nowe. Wetzler and Weisenbaugh. The basketball team relies chiefly on the sharp-shooting of Travers. Torpey, Shevlin and Barry: whilo the feats of Skaff. Murphy and Lenzi upon the diamond have well merited the praise showered upon them. Also, by no means are we forgetting our classwork. By zealous study and diligent co-operation with our teachers, we are well preparing ourselves for that eventful day when we shall have to make our own way in life: and when that time comes we know that we shall be prepared. Lastly, no history of this year would be complete without a word of thanks to our Moderator, Rev. Bernard McConville. O.S.A., for his kindly cr.ticism and prudent counsel. In aiding and guiding us to financially right ourselves. Father McConville has accomplished a task which called for no little sacrifice, both in time and labor. As our Junior year draws rapidly to a close, we cannot help but contemplate the joys of these three fleeting years: years in which deep bonds of friendship have been firmly cemented: years whose tolling brings too quickly an end to youth's blossom. The halcyon days of college are waning to that lingering sweetness which marks the end.. . . We eagerly await our Senior Year. On hundred fifty-tKr Aeque. Peter 150 lb. Football. I. 2. 3.

Lawrence $kea ANOTHER year in our march to collegiate distinction has quickly passed and we shall return next fall to be the representatives of Villanova’s Junior class. Oh! then. Juniors, and one step further in tbo attainment of our goal. Also the splendor of Junior Week. Blazers. Rings and the tradi- tional Prom. But you want to hear of our past accomplishments and history. Yes. Well, first impressions they say are lasting ones, and how woll we romember our first day at Villanova. All summer long we had been preparing for our advent to Alma Mater, and now that the long awaited day had arrived, we were not only impressed but overawed at the sight which con- fronted us. Wo had heard of Villanova’s beautiful campus, that it was one of the most beautiful in the East, but now the reality oxcoeded our fondest expectations. While lost in such pleasant meditation, we were suddenly aroused from our lethargy by a sym- pathetic voice inquiring. Are you a Frosh? Do you wish to register? Answering in the affirmative we wore led to the Administration building, from which we emerged Freshmen in every sense of the word. It was after leaving the registrar that we again met the gentleman who had escorted us to Men- del Hall. Now his attitude had changed, his voice becoming very gruff and authoritative. He ushered us into a room where we noticed a large number of white hatted men. Immediately talk of that dreaded Vigilance Committee we had heard so much of came to mind, and we sensed, with warranted fear, our helpless condition. What’s your name, you dumb looking Frosh? Take that tie off! Roll up those pants! were com- mands hurled at us from all sides. After a most humiliating ordeal, we were attired in the Freshmen regulations, accessories which we were told the wel dressed freshman would wear. For the next few woeks we lived in constant fear of those Vigilantes, and did all in our power to evade them. Perhaps it would be well to add here that this is the answer to a question which is often asked concerning college freshmen, the fact that they are conspicuous by their absence on the campus dur- ing Ihe first few weeks of school. Those of us who were either darinq enough to venture on the campus during tho day. or un- fortunate enough to incur the dislike of these monsters, ware usually assigned to trunk carrying, or were the recipients of good, hard paddlings. Often too. like the Christians of old. we were obliged to supply the entertainment during the halves of the football games by displaying the antics and initia- tion ceremonies of the Ancient Order of Hobble-Gobble. For a long time those merciless Sophomores had been reminding us of the initiation which was soon to take place. A short time before the scheduled ignominy, the administration announced .he elimination of the traditional ceremony. It was indeed with feelings of relief and joy that we received such information. Meanwhile we were gradually acclimating ourselves and assuming a definite place in the college ranks. The ideas we had formed during our high and prop school days had been shattered, and we assumed an attitude more befitting a college student. As football season drew to a close, regulations became a thing of the past, though their memories linger still. Days passed: weeks passed: Thanksgiviig and Christmas recesses afforded a much needed respite. But with our return from the Christmas ho’idays loomed the ominous shadcw of mid-term examinations. Much burninq of the midnight oil. and after a hectic, nerve wracking week, successful completion of tho first half of our freshman year. By this time we were thoroughly established in the college program, and beginning to take an active interest in the various activities. Our littera i were giving their services for the betterment of the campus publications as well as the dramatic and debating organizations. With the coming of Spring sports, baseball, tennis and golf, all saw f-osh participating. One hundred ufy It was in the spring, April, that we elected our class officers, men who were to guide us along the straight and narrow path. John T. Brown was our President: Walter E. Allesandroni. Secretary; and Joseph B. Weisenbaugh. Treasurer. Shortly afterwards, time ended our eventful first year and after a fleeting summer we roturnod this year as Sophomores. How different was our entry to our Alma Mater's portals this fall from that of the previous year. The knowledge of just what to do, and the renewing of the friendships made, filed us with pride and joy. especially when we viewed the bewildered trosh. Our Orientation Committee, for they had acquired a new title, had returned a few days early and the frosh were well taken care of. After a fow busy days, arranging classes, see'ng old friends, definite plans were made for our Cotillion which was to be the first social activity of the year. Hold in tho gym on the night of October 20. with the Villanovan's supplying their enchanting melodies, it was one of the most success- ful occasions of the year. In all fields of campus activities our men are assuming positions of prominence. On the various athletic toams wo boast of such men as Kotys. Mahan, Collins, Robinson. Goraghty. Farris, Ryan. Michaels, Johnson. McGovern. Wrona. Searight, Vidnovic and Murphy, all prominently associated with athletics at Villanova. As this, our second year draws to a close, we feel that we are successfully maintaining the stand- ard set by preceding classes, if not surpassing it. Standing on the threshold of our junior year, though unable to penetrate into the future, we think our prognosticians warranted, based on past accomplish- ments, when we say that next year will establish our class as one of the best to ever enter the portals of dear old Villanova. One hundred ji«ty-one Orientation Committee THE Vigilance Committee, one of Villanova’s oldest traditions, has as its purpose the initiation of the Freshmen into the ways and customs of their newly acquired Alma Mater. This year's com- mittee. called the Orientators. was forced to function under circumstances which were radically different from those to which other committees were accustomed. The new administration was not in favor of some of the policies which, through common usage, had become part and parcel of the daily existence of the Vigilance men. As a consequence, the modified and saner behaviour of this year's edition of the time-honored group was not graciojsly received by the general student body. However, thoy discharged their duties efficiently and well. They placed upon the incoming Frosh the blue dinlcs. white socks and oversized identification buttons of other years. But the force- ful methods of persuasion were lacking: such as hair-cutting, trunk-carrying, coal shoveling, gridiron marking, stadium cleaning, molasses and feathers, and paddling. In their place were .toted better and more friendly relations between the two lower classe� . A new function was substituted for the o'd and obsolete Frosh Hazing methods by the holding of a Field Day between the Frosh and Sophs. This Field Day was originated by Harry A. Stuhldrehcr. Athle ic Director, and its object wos to hold contests be- tween the two classes to decide whether the Frosh should cease to wear their regs if victorious, or continue to wear them if they were vanquished by the Sophomore class. Some of the events listed were tug-of-war. catching a greased pig and foot races. As was prophesied the Sophs won the Field Day contests. The Orientation Committee was headed by E. Lahey who was assisted by R. McGunnigle. A. Mahan, D. Murphy, J. Robinson. J. Malcolm. W. Monroe. J. Braheney. S. Miller, J. O'Hara. D. Craig, G. Martyak. R. Fitzgerald. H. Buzenski. W. Sweeney. R.

JOSEPH KANE S r tory..........................................................FRANCIS WILLIAMS SEPTEMBER 20, 1933. will ever be borne in mind as the day when some one hundred and sixty aspiring students launched their collegiate careers under the banner of Villanova. With the won- doring gaze and gullible aspect so intrinsic to the nature of first year men. we presented a ludicrous spectaclo. In awe did we glance at the imposing buildings dotting the campus, the fore- boding appearance of the laboratories and the forms of upper classmen sauntering through the halls and across the grounds. The realization that we were starting a new life seomed to characterize our every action. We cast furtive glances at the smiling black-robed men passing by us. Some of us endeavored to appear sophisticated: others apathetic: others audacious, but down deep in the heart of every one was that feeling of diffidence. Who can forget those first few days of room assigning, course planning, and friendship making? Hurrying, worrying, chattering freshmen, trying to do a hundred things and accomplishing nothing. However, with that characteristic element of friendliness so inexplicably bound up with the tradi- tions of Villanova. a light began to pierce the fog. We soon began to mingle with the upper-class- men and soon felt as much a part of the instituiion as the college chapel. The spirit of Villanova seomed to have permeated our hearts from the first day. Here, men from as many as fifteen to twenty States met and lived in friendly relations. The hello habit. so sadly lacking in most colleges, was especially predominant. Imperceptibly this heterogeneous mass was shortly amalgamated into one jovial fraternal body. A series of discourses was a distinct foature—the halcyon feature—of our orientation program. Faculty officials and student leaders collaborated in presenting to us various phases of college life. Giving hints horo. adding warnings there, the speakers delivered to us the salient factors necessary for adherence if the student be successful. But alas, storm clouds appear! The Vigilance Committee takes charae. With the appearance of the big bad wolves and their white hats—the dreaded sceptre of Sophomore authority—came our Waterloo.” How well those of us who were unfortunate to incur their ill favor remember the penalties meted out! How well do wo remomber the cigarette giving, the match carrying, the letter delivering and the other eccentricities handed out to harassed yearlings by unsympathetic Sophs. Yes. pity those unfortunate Frosh urged on by their dominating masters. Woe betide him who displeases! But vengeanco is sweet. All the pent up fire of our indignation exploded at the annual Frosh-Soph field day on November in the stadium. With the abolition of regs at stake, we fought tooth and nail, vieing with the tormentors in contests of football kicking, pushball, greased pig capture, tug-of-war and touch football. The greased pig contest proved the natural of the day. A squealing porker was released from the barrel and the chase was on. Hither and yon about the stadium raced the squealing porkie with a crowd of eaqer combatants hot on his heels—or should I say hoofs? Finally an intreoid '37 man leaped—and made it! He had the pig! Sure. But he had about fifty screaming, fighting. Ono hundred ii«ty-four aroused warriors on fop of him. The peals of the pig inter-mixed with hoarse shouts of consternation and dismay emanated at frequent intervals from the heap. Finally Mr. Stuhdreher. in his official capacity as referee, dived in and rose up to shout. The Sophs win! Was it a popular verdict? Yes. about as popular as the snow in Cuba. Not a whit discouraged, we fought on and entered the last event enjoying a comfortable 'oad. However, the last event of the day. the football game had to be won before those much hated regs could be discarded. After much end-running, argument, passing and kicking, the Sophomores won the game and the meet with it. About 99% of us still think that the Sophomores won because they were the only ones having charge of the score book. However, as the autumn days wore on into winter we began to branch out. and soon the names of members of our class graced regular school activities lists. Our basketball team dealt the Temple freshman their only setback in sixteen encounters. Freshmen were also prominent in basketball and intra- mural activities. A word here about the latter sports. After a disastrous start, the representatives of Mendel Hall reversed their form and soon gained the respect of their intra-mural league by their bull dog determination and aggressiveness. Nor were their efforts confined to athletics alone. In various clubs and organizations, on the staffs of the college publications Freshmen participated and excelled. Towards the end of February the annual elections were held. After spirited balloting, the follow- ing men were elected to office: President. John Burke: Vice-President. Joseph Kane: and Secretary. Francis Williams. With such capable men in charge, coupled with the assistance of every member of the class, the year could not have been other than the success it was. On hundred tixfy-fiv UNITAS RELIGIOUS PROGRAM Religious Program at Villanova F! OUNDATIONS of character and life ideals are formed in the collegiate environment. The necessity of a good religious background in the formation of moral character is self-evident. It is the aim of the Augus- tinian Fathers at Villanova to produce graduates who are representative Catholic gentlemen. Certainly, no education is complete which is lax in regard to religious training. Religious education at Villanova is the result of many years of observation and experience in teach- ing and the course is as thorough as possible. In order to acquaint the student with the real reason why Villanova exists, a book- let entitled The Best Thing Villanova Can Offer You is forwarded to all those making application for admission to the College. The booklet is designed with the purpose of familiarizing the candidate with the value of a Catholic education. The ideal of a true Villanovan, religious opportunities, and advice on college life itself are all presented in a straightforward discourse. REV. CHARLES r. MOWN. O.S.A.. A.M. Cktplih A personal interview of each student with the chaplain is required upon register- ing. The extent of the Catholic education of each individual is determined, and a reli- gious course suitable to his needs is prescribed. A well balanced course of religious instruction is the outstanding factor of the religious program. A special course, held one hour a week, is obligatory upon all who for some reason or other show a lack of knowledge of fundamentals. On hundred «eventy In the first year's work, the student is instructed in the true Catholic Ideal of Life. Religion as a guiding factor in good citizenship, in sociolog- ical endeavor, and in the problems of every day life is stressed. The motives and means of Catholic life com- prise the material which is covered in the second- year course. The great dogmas of Catholic Faith are reviewed as an initiative to live up to the Catholic ideal. The necessity of prayer and frequent attendance at the Sacra- ments is stressed as a means to attain the Catholic Ideal. The Catholic Church, in the light of reason, comprises the subject matter for the third-year course. The student learns to give reasons for the faith which is in him. and is taught to handle questions which may be asked by disbelievers; thus retaining his posi- tion as a truly educated man. In his senior year the student is made aware of the problems which the Catholic layman will frequently encounter in his every-day life. Marriage, divorce, birth control and other problems of the day are discussed in the light of Catholic teaching. Religious training, presented in this manner, makes the Catholic college man a practical Catholic in every sense of the word. With such an education he is fitted to be a leader of men. and there is no better connecting link between the Church and those outside the Church than the educated Catholic man. It is to him that they must look if their questions are to be answered. In addition to instruction in the Catholic Faith, there are certain prescribed reli- gious services which every resident student must attend. Every evening of the week. Saturdays and Sundays excepted, the student body assembles in the college chapel at six thirty. A short devotion takes place accordingly as is designed for that particular day. On Monday and Thursday evenings, the Holy Rosary is said. On Tuesday eve- ning, the Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary is followed by benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament. On Wednesday evening, familiar prayers are said aloud and in unison by the student body. On Friday evening, the Litany of the Holy Name is followed by benediction. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass must be attended by the student body on one other day of the week besides Sunday. This Mass is generally held on Thursday except when a Holy Day or first Friday intervenes. Two retreats are held annually to give each individual the opportunity to consult with himself and adjust his life as he deems it necessary. A day of retreat is observed on the Thursday before the first Friday of October. Another, lasting for a period of three days, is held immediately after the mid-term examinations. Both are conducted On® hund'ed t«venfy-ono by prominent members of the Augustinian Mis- sion Band. Book and pamphlet racks are to be found in places of easy access for the student. Many social and religious questions are explained and an- swered in these works. The Catholic Press Apos- tolate. an organization composed of members of the student body, has charge of the mainte- nance of these racks. They also distribute Catholic periodicals to which the student may subscribe through the chaplain. SANCTUARY SOCIETY Ceyl . Cook Piektll, CUa'y, D«'by. CowIRuld.

The members serve mass and assist at benediction, not only at the prescribed chapel devotions, bui they are busy daily, assisting at mass every morning for the various priests. This year, greater interest has been manifest by the various organizations con- nected with the religious program than ever. New duties have been assumed and all have been discharged in a most successful manner. Much credit for this new interest must be attributed to the Rev. Charles Brown O.S.A., who was appointed chaplain at the start of the second semester, succeeding Father O'Malley who was transferred. Under his guidance, and encouraged by his untiring efforts, much co-operation has been shown by the student body in carrying out this most important program. In the short time that he has held this office the establishment of an active Holy Name So- ciety has been one of his many accomplishments. From all indications, Villanova's reli- gious training, The Best Thing That Villanova Can Offer You. will continue to attain new importance under his guidance. On hundred t v nty-two Lu i«n Po'trat. Edward McCuH ,. J«m«i McKulUr, la� r nc« Gurrity, John Gilman Loo lurko. Edmund Swoonoy, Ralph Mandron, Joioph Shannon, Lawronc Connoon The Scholasticate ONE of the most important aims of the Augustinian Order is the training of young men according to the Catholic ideals of education. In order to do this it educates its priests to as high a degree as possible, turning out men wise both in the ways of God and man. This year's graduating class began its long period of study at the Augustinian Preparatory School in 1925. When they had completed this portion of their education after four years, they were sent to the Novitiate School at New Hamburg-on-the- Hudson in New York state. Here they temporarily discontinued their classical studies. ;n order that they might pursue the aims and ideals of the religious life, as laid down in the Rule of St. Augustine, with more avidity, and with greater leisure. The following year these worthy young men. after taking simple vows, were transferred to Villanova. where they were housed in St. Rita’s Hall, and the larger and beautiful Corr Hall, given to the Augustinians by Mr. Bernard Corr of Philadelphia in 1910. During their four years here at Villanova. they have received thorough courses in philosophy, arts, science, and pedagogy. Upon their graduation this June, the Scho- Iasticates will receive the degree of Bachelor of Arts. In September they will leave for the Augustinian College at Catholic University, in Washington, where they will study Sacred Theology in addition to their profane subjects. Upon the completion of their course there, they will receive Holy Orders, and the goal of their life will have become an actuality. The young priests will then be sent to the various colleges, preparatory schools and parishes of the Augustinian Order where they will teach or carry on the duties of parish work. It is these young men who will carry on in the future the high ideals, and ancient traditions of their Order. They have offered up their lives to God and Holy Mother the Church, in order that Catholic education might continue to flourish, and that their Holy Patron's rule of life might be handed down to future generations.

Football Coachei FRANK SKAFF J. V. Football Coach ONLY a few short years ago the name of Villanova was little knovyn in the athletic world. It was represented in tho various fields of sport, but had acquired little recognition. This is history, however. Consider its teams today. Known and respected everywhere, feared by all opponents. Of course there is a reason and such credit must be directly attributed to the Athletic Council. It was with the advent of the late Charles A. McGeehan in 1910 that this body was actively organ- ized. At the outset, the confronting task, the emblazoning of the name of Villanova in the world of sports, was a difficult one. Gradually, however, with the acquisition of nationally known and splendid coaches, Villanova be- gan to take its place among the major teams of the country. With the building up of its teams. Villanova acquired a large number of supporters, necessitating the erection of a stadium: and only recently the new gymnasium was constructed at a large cost. So we can see the splendid results directly attributable to the efforts of the Athletic Council. With the death of Mr. McGeehan. his assistant. Mr. Alexander G. Severance, was appointed to fill the vacancy, and he has successfully discharged these important duties. To Mr. Severance and tho members of the Council, the Belle Air extends its congratulations, with the hope that th:s body will continue with the spl ndid work it has accomplished.

O'0one ll THE SEASON THE 1934 season at Villanova has come to a close, and the team has distinguished itself. The por- contage rating for the soason. a ton game schedule, was .777. The captain of the team was picked by most selectors as an All-American half back, and sevoral of the others wore mentioned on various sectional teams. The success of .‘.he team was not in any way due to luck. It was all good, hard work. Coach Harry Stuhldreher held classes every morning of a day on which thore would be practice. Every day for a full three months, and more, from late August to the second of December, the sauad attended classes at eight in the morning, and they applied what they had learned in the hours ot classes for two or more hours every afternoon, sometimes until sunset cut the practice short. The classes held by Coach Stuhldreher are a feature of the Villanova system. He holds a regular class, during which he lectures and quizzes the players in every department of the game. Reverses. spinners, laterals and bucks: what the half back mu'.t do agamst a pass from a wing-back formation, and from a kick-formation: where the guard goes when the play is a fake spinner to the weak side with a balanced line, and all the thousand and one other data whicn the heady ball-player must have at his JOHN HUGHES Manager tmger tips. I he coacn is recoqmzed by all of his fellow coachos as one of the cleverest men in the game, and all his players will bet money, marbles or chalk, that there isn't a better training to be found anywhere than that under Harry. Assisted by coaches Bob Rogan and Doc Jacobs. Head Coach Stuldrohcr started at the end of August to get his players into shape. The line from the previous season had been sadly depleted by graduation, and the problem of filling the vacant places was a hard one. Three first string men were left, and around this nucleus the remaining first string positions had to be built, and a good set of substitutes had to be found. As the practice sessions bogan to got under way the new material looked very promising, and the line began to take shape. Tom O'Donnell and Bill Grimberg took command of the end posts, and Bus Nowe cinched his call to the center position. Zizak and Michaels outstripped any competition for tho tackle posts, and Blanchard held his previous guard posi- tion without ony trouble. Tho only position left open in the lino On hundred eighty was that of the other guard, and be- tween Cox and Lee it was well taken care of throughout the season. Substitutes from the freshmen and from the younger men of the previous year were plentiful, and Johnny John- son, Walter Korchinski and Charley McGoo took the brunt of the work after the first team ends. Sullivan and Vid- novic hod the second tackle calls, and the guards were backed by Fran Foster, the watch-charm football player. Sea- right was the man who gave Nowe his relief at center. In the backfield the only first string men were Whitey Rondour at half and Toby Cavanaugh at quarter. There was, however, a wealth of material to choose from, and the coaches anticipated no difficulty in that department. The full-backs were Carrol Cook, Dominic Marion and, for the first part of the season, Harry Patszch. Half-backs wore plentiful, with Frank Wetzler. Jim Walsh and Joe Wiesenbaugh plus Wrona and Patszch available. Higgins substituted for Cavanaugh, as did Harry Patszch, the all-position man, and Murphy. By the end of September the men had all rounded into fine condition, and the coaching staff felt well satisfied with their work as the squad trotted out on the field for the opener.

Everyone waiting to see what the boys are going to do this year, and hoping that they'll win the National Championship, but doubting it. The kickoff opens the game—first kickoff of the year, too: and the teams go in to action. Vince Zizak scores the first points of the season. A safety in the first four minutes of the game. After a little experimentation, the quarter- back, our Mr. Cavanaugh, throws the machine into high gear and all the boys score touchdowns just to get their hands in after a year’s layoff. Whitey Randour. Carl Cook. Frank Wetzler. Joe Wiesonbaugh, Tom O'Oonnel and John Higgins all took their turns at lugging the ball, and all had fine luck in scoring touchdowns. Whitey. always gilding A u tho lily of endeavor, put across two more points after touchdowns with very good kickinq. and Barney Lee and Frank Wetzler each booted one across. The game could nave been faster, although the team looked pretty good for the first game of the season, and gave everyone, even the coaches, reason enough to point with prido and hope that when the season's results woro read out the Wildcats would be up at the top somewhere. Precision showed in all the work. The weeks of practice before the game, during the previous spring and the couple of weeks immediately preceding the game were well evidenced in the condition of the players and of the plays. CAVANAUGH URSINUS Tho Ursinus toam scored a well earned tie. when thoy held the Villanova team to a 7 all score. The 'Cats were ineffectual, and although they gained 250 yards from scrimmage to 50 for Ursinus, and made fourteen first downs to four, they were unable to eke out even a one point victory. The first score of the game was a touchdown by Nick Kotys on a short end run and it came after an extended march up the field. Barnoy Lee kicked the extra point and the Wildcats settled back to hold their lead, but it was taken away in the next period. The Bear's tally was the result of a pass. Sam Levin, right tackle for the Bears. COOK SCORING TOUCHDOWN IN WEST CHESTER FKAV On hundred ightytwo WEISINIAU6H recovered a Vlllanova fumble on his own 43 yard line. On the next play Calvert threw a pass to Price for an I I yard gain. The next pass was incomplete, but the third pass gave the Bears a first down on the Villanova 25 yard line. At this point Villanova made an illegal sub- stitution. which moved the ball back to the 20 yard line. Calvert dropped back once more and heaved a long pass to Seiple, who was lounging around the end-zone waiting for it. Schuman tied the score with a kick. The game brought with it the first in- jury of tho season. Nick Kotys had his ankle fractured badly enough to put him out of the running for the rest of the season. The injury was the result of a tackle which stopped what looked like a sure score for the Wildcats. SOUTH CAROLINA CAPTAIN-ELECT GRIMIERG The Gamecocks from tho south had been tho first team of the 1932 season to beat the Wildcats, and as the game rolled 'round we all wondered if they were going to be able to do it again. They weren't, for the final score was 15 to 6 in favor of the Wildcats. The game was played before the biggest crowd ever to see the 'Cocks play at their home field, everyone of them hoping to see the Northerners licked. The South Carolina team was good enough to make things look plenty tough at times, but the best they had couldn't beat the Villanova men. The first score was by Randour on a 20 yard pass early in the second period. His kick for the extra point was too low. Randour followed this with another score in the third period, scoring on a short end run standing up. Toby Cavanaugh triod tho kick this time, and made it. which put the score at 13-0. It was the Southerner's turn next, and Epps scored after a sixty yard march down the field. They failed to make the extra point. Ed Michaels broke through the line to force a safety in the same period, and added two more points to tho Wildcats scoro. Ono hundred eighty-three PATZSCH RIPPING OFF FIRST DOWN IN URSINUS GAME GETTYSBURG The Bullets from'Gettysburg must have gotten their powder wet before they met the Wild- cats in the last game at the 'Cat's stadium. Tho Villanovans ran rough-shod over Gettys- burg. and behind almost per- fect interference their backs had little trouble in pushing over six touchdowns. Joe Weisenbaugh was the high scorer of the afternoon, scoring half of the touchdowns. Whitoy Randour, Harry Patszch and Jimmy Walsh were each responsible for one of the others. At no timo wore the 'Cats pushed; they had the game in the bag all the way from the starting whistle. Weisenbaugh was the shining star of the day. His small size accentuated the appearance of dare-deviltry with which he ran through and over tho big men of the Gettysburg team who were knocked by the swell interference with which the Cats led every play. He was started out into the open by his intorfcrors. who left him to his own dovices while they looked after a few of the Bullets who were in the way. and Little Joe made tho most of his timo. Speed and deception were spilled all over the field as he romped through the Bullets secondary time aftor time, ending up. as we havo said, with 18 points. Whitey Randour played a fine game, and his blocking was a featuro of the contest. He also stepped up and booted two of the points after touchdown. Barney Lee took care of ono and Charlie McGoe looked after the other. The game was rather a dull one from the point of view of those who like their competitive sports competitive, for while the Bullets triod hard they just didn't have enough skill and brawn to make the game even close. They played a sporty game, and they have the good wishes of the Wildcats for slightly better luck next season, but not too good, because we understand that they're on the schedule again. ACTION DU ING GETTYSIUHG GAME Oi « •'9t� tyfouf BUCKNELL Vinco Zizac oponed tho game by blocking Sitarsky's punt after the first exchange of kicks, and the official ball-hawk, Don Blanchard, fell on the ball. Threo tries at the Bucknell line gained very little, so Cavanaugh opened the scoring with a long field goal. The remainder of the half was taken up with routine work, with neither team being able to punch out two first downs in a row. The third quarter opened quite casually, and no one was prepared for the display of fire- works which made it tho best fifteen minutes of football that we ever remember having seen. The Bisons kicked off and sent the ball sailing ovor the goal line, from where It was brought out to the 20 yard line. After one fruitless plunge at the line. Whitey Randour tucked the ball under his arm and threaded his way around end and down the field for a touchdown. Lee kicked the extra point and the team settled down to holding a ten point lead. On the third play after the kick off Bean scored on a pass for the Bisons. and a couple of minutes later they took the lead when Endler intercepted a pass and scored. Carroll Cook evened things with a score from the 42 yard line and put the 'Cats in the lead again. The game looked like ours until the last minute of play, when the Bisons blocked a kick and fell on the ball over the goal line for another score. MANHATTAN Chick Meehan's Jaspers loomed as quite a tough team to beat, even though the Wildcats were given much better than an even chance to beat them. But with a clevor coach like Meehan, and with tho Cat's Manhattan jinx which spoiled them every time they came to New York, the outlook was for a fairly stiff game. On hundred «ighty-fiv WETZLER OFF FOR LONG GAIN IN BUCKNEU BATTLE To the surprise of everyone, including themselves, the 'Cats not only trounced the Jaspers, but gave them the worst trim- ming ever suffered by a Mee- han coached team. The final score was 47 to 0. and tho Jas- pers never even came close to scoring. Harry Patszch and Joe Weisenbaugh were the spec- tacular men of the afternoon, being given the ball time after time to reel off tremendous yardage in back of the best in- terference of the year. The whole team functioned as if the game was an exhibition for a sports shot of how football snould be played. Every block Michaels taken put a man out of the play and there were no guards out too slowly to get the play going, and no secondary men missed, so that all the ball carriors had to do for the first fifteen yards was to catch the ball and run leisurely after the men in front of them. The most successful play of the afternoon was a fake spinner, on which Patszch usually carried the ball for long gains. His work and that of his backfiold mates gained 408 yards for the 'Cats to 28 for the Jaspers, almost sixteen times the yardage tho Manhattanitos wero able to make. ALBRIGHT The next game on the schedule was that with Albright, and it was regarded as a breather. To the surprise of everyone except the Albriqht team, which didn't seem to realize how easy they wore sup- posed to be. the 'Cats had to inhale deeply to take a 21 to 0 win back from Reading. Whitey Randour was the first man across the goal line, and he was followed shortly by Joe Wiesen- ACTION DURING AllRIGHT GAME On hundred iqh� y-� « baugh. who squirmed his way over the goal from the I I yard line. Barney Lee tallied all three points after touchdown with place- ment kicks. Randour having scored again in the third period. The second half of the game was the most unusual of the season from the officials' point of view. The time keeper's watch skipped ahead in both quarters, and the actual playing time of the half was Cut to about fifteen minutes. It seemed as if the spectators had no sooner seated them- selves than the half was over. One of the prettiest plays of the season occurred on the runback of a punt by Joe Weisenbauqh. The receiver started to the left side of the field from his own 2 yard line, ond then cut back in a wide sweep to- wards the right. His interference formed quickly and he swept down the field almost cook without trouble, as the Wildcat interfer- ence strewed the Albright team in a long curve almost to the goal line with clock-like regularity. He was finally stopped by the safety man of the Albright club, who made a ragged tackle to bring him down from behind. BOSTON COLLEGE Boston College was looked upon as an even money bet in the next game with the Villanovans, and the final score of the game showed the wise money to be on the Boston side of the fence. The Eagles won. 9 to 0. the first victory of a Boston football team over the Wildcats since 1926. Ed Kelly was sent into the game in the first quarter and kicked a perfect placement from the 20 yard line right through the center of the goal posts for three points and the first score of the game. The second Boston score was the result of a series of fine passes, the last of which, from the 20 yard line, dropped into the arms of John Freitas over the goal line. Whitey Randour was smothered by a concentration of the Boston team, the line of which seemed able to sift through and nail him before the play could start. He was held to a mere 63 yards for the gome, and took all kinds of punishment to make them. On Kgndf d elghty-t v«n RANDOUR.

TEMPLE PATZSCH The game with Pop Werner's Owls was looked forward to by all the fans of the district. The con- test between Harry Stuhldreher’s Notre Dame system and the Warner system promised a great deal of good football. The papers were full of arguments for both systems and a areat deal of ink was slung in predicting a victory for the Old Fox or tor Harry. The ‘Cats had a free Saturday before the Temple game, and with two full weeks in which to pre- pare for tho game, they looked forward to giving the Owl a taste of ’Cat's claws. Nor were they dis- appointed. Under the leadership of Whitoy Randour, and quarter backed beautifully by Toby Cava- naugh. the 'Cats ran up a 24 to 0 score before the whistle blow, and were on the way to another when ♦he game ended. The scoring honors of the day went to Whitey. who scored fifteen points in his lost Temple game. Two touchdowns that were sweethearts, one on a psss from Cavanaugh and the other on an end run netted him 12 points, and he kicked three points after touchdown to bring his total up to fifteen. A feature of the game was the opening score, a dropkick by Toby Cavanaugh. After line bucks had made no impression on the Temple line, he dropped back and booted the leather with great non- chalance over the goal posts, which were so far away that they looked like croquet hoops. Having brought the fans to their feet. Toby decided to keep them there, and uncorked the whole beq of tricks. For the first time in his three years of Varsity ball he took everything out and dusted it off to lay the Owls lower than they had been in a dozen years by a Wildcat club. PATZSCH MING DOWNED DURING TEMPLE GAME One hundred eiqhty-eighf RUTGERS The Rutgers game came as some- what of an anticlimax to a long ten- game season. The team had been banged up a bit during the year, and to play the game was a hard row to hoe atfer the Temple game. The game was played at Neilson Field in Now Brunswick, and the day was a perfect one for football. For the first three quarters, the 'Cats held without any trouble a three touchdown lead, having missed every Icicle for the point after touchdown. The whole team played hard ball and rlanchard nowe the Rutqers men had not a chance against the superior power of the Wild- cat's attack. x The last quarter changed the aspect of the game a great deal. The Rutgers men put on the pressure and scored two touchdowns to bring the score up to 18 to 13. as they kicked a point after the last touch- down. Both teams seemed very evenly matched during the closing minutes of the game, and a great climax to the season came on a kick, when the Rutgers team had put the Villanovans back almost to their own goal line on the fourth down. Whitey Randour dropped back to kick from the goal line, and the stadium held its breath. If the Rutgers line could push through and block the kick, they might win ♦he ball game, for a touchdown would put them in the lead, and there wasn't time enough left for the Wildcats to score again exCopt on a freak play. But Whitey pulled the game out of the fire with a beautiful kick which rolled -almost to the other end of the field. The season has been long ended, and Randour. Cavanaugh. O Donnell. Zizak, Brodnicki, McGee and others have played their last game for Villanova. We hope that Villanova has more like them. Their last season has ended and Ve look back with regret to the tense moments of past games. We wish that thoy could stay with us. but they have played out their string and have to go. It was a great year, a swell team, and we hate to see them go. WEISENSAUSH SCORING TOUCHDOWN IN RUTGERS GAME On hundred oiqMy-mne JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL Jayvees 0 Penn 31 Jayvees 0 Rutgers 6 Jayvees 14 Lafayette 24 JUNIOR Varsity football is another phase of the athletic pro- gram inaugurated at Villanova to afford athletic activity for the entire student body. Though begun only a few years ago. J. V. football has assumed an important position in this program. This year the team was coached by Frank Skaff who was work- ing under adverse conditions from the outset. With only a few weeks to prepare for the opening game, the call for candidates was issued. Only a small squad reported for the initial practice, and prospects for the season looked very discouraging. However, though small in number, the squad displayed a great amount of spirit and Coach Skaff began immediately to drill his men for the opening game with Penn. On Nov. 3 the squad journeyed to Franklin field and were victims of a much more experienced and larger team, losing to the tune of 31-0. Though the team was outplayed in every department of the game, nevertheless they gave a creditable showing in spirit and courage. Lack of practice, more than anything else was the deciding factor in this contest. This was demonstrated one week later when the team ontortained the highly touted Rutgers aggregation. With an enviable record behind them, not having lost a game in three years, the boys from the banks of the Raritan were furnished with furious competition before they were able to exe out a victory. Only a three game schedule was to be played and the boys diligently set to work to prepare for the final game with Lafayette, which they wanted so much to win. On Nov. 17. the Eastonians invaded the stadium, and for the first two periods it looked like a Villanova victory. Due to some brilliant open field running by Captain Novelline and Henry Buzenski, two touchdowns were scored in the first quarter. Just when a victory seemed assured, dame fortune intervened, and decided to cast all kinds of breaks in favor of the Lafayette team. Penalties and fumbles, assisted by some ragged tackling on the part of the 'Cats aided the Panthers in pushing across four touchdowns in the last half, and winning the game. 24-14.

American colleges have placed an increasing I emphasis on the development of an athletic program which will afford every student an opportunity to participate in as many sports as possible, to the limit of his physical ability. It was for this reason solely that Head Coach Harry Stuhldreher inaugurated 150 lb. foot- ball at Villanova. On Oct. 27. after three hard weeks of preliminary training under Coaches Lenzi and Wronski, a squad of twenty-five men journeyed to New York City to meet a well tutored Manhattan team. After four periods of good hard football, the Wildcats came out in tho short ond of a 7-0 score. Manhattan scoring the only touchdown of the game in tho last period. The following weok end. the lightweights encountered stiff opposi- tion in the powerful Yale eleven, being defeated 12-0. Although defeated, the team gave one of their best performances of the sea- son. On Nov. 11. the squad played host to a fast and powerful Pennsylvania team. This game was played in zero weather and after four periods of hard fighting, both teams had to remain content with a scoreless tie. The next encounter was with Lafayette. The team traveled to Easton only to drop an exciting contest by the close score of 6-0. The final game of the season was played on Thanksgiving Day in New Brunswick, against an undofeated Rutgers team. A large crowd turned out to witness this contest and were handed a turkey day treat by witnessing a fast and furious battle for four periods. Rutgers scored a touchdown in the second and fourth periods to send the 'Cats home with a 12-0 defeat, closing the season for both teams. ASSISTANT WRONSKI Acqee, SinUnitllo. Carroll, Coyle, O-vof.

The Frosh ineugureted end termineted their schedule by engeging e powerful eggregetion of Penn Steto ycerlings. The confidence which Doc Jecobs expressed In his sgued wes not mis-directed. for olthough they come home on the short end of the score, they were not to be surpessed in fighting spirit and tenacity. This defeat can be directly attributed to tho lack of yearling reserves, in many in- stances the frosh found themselves facing a now man on almost ovory play, the supply of State re- serves seemed to be endloss. Defeat under such conditions cannot be looked upon with scorn, but rather with admiration. Our chances to observe the individuals making up this team were very few but even a cursory glance on some of hese men caused us to list them as future Villanova immortals. Among the in- dividuals most likoiy to see action on future Wildcat teams, we cannot overlook Cy McFadden, the scoring threat c the Fresh backfield. This man. by reason of his deceptive running, crossed more chalk lines than any other member of the backfield aspirants. The kicking of McFadden was almost phenom- enal and this particular gift should find a high regard in the eyes of the coachos. Of the numerous linemen who graced the freshman squad, one John Fox. an end. eclipsed the splendid work of his comrades and ranked himself among the gridmen most likely to succeed in varsity com petition.

Shevll . terry VARSITY BASKETBALL THE basketball team for the season of 1933-1934 started with bright prospects of a great season. The combination of Barry and Shevlin from the previous year had returned, and several members of the previous year's freshmen team were coming up with fine reputations. ''Jocko Hurley, the captain of the team had one of the guard positions taken care of. and John Shevlin had the other. Tho contor was in the capablo hands of Jack Torpey. and Ben Geraghty. a fresh- man, had one of the forward positions, the other taken care of by Johnny Barry, the flashing sopho- more forward of the 1932-33 season. Doc Jacobs discovered that this combination was good enouoh to resist any efforts to dislodge it from the position of the first team, and turned his attention to developing the wonderful combina- tion which luck had sent him. His roserves showed that thoy had plenty of speed, and could be depended upon in a pinch, but were not quite good enough to warrant his removing any of the first string men. Pop Travers and Tom Ryan were the second string forwards: the guards were Robinson and O'Meara, and Bill Farris and Bill Sweeney alternated at guard and center for both the varsity and the second team. These men comprised the entire squad, which in mid-season was composed of eleven men. Just enough to make up two teams and one to hold the whistle. A twolve game season had been scheduled for the team, and they managed to mako it a good one. The final winning per- centage was .750. St. Johns College of Brooklyn, one of the best teams in the East, was the first to level the Wildcats, and the deed was done in New York, a famous jinx town for Wildcat teams. The second loss was to the great Duquesne outfit, and the last was a surprise by Albright. In the Captain of his team. Coach Jacobs had a guard who had speod to burn and was able to sink shots from almost any part of the court. His sensational shot in the last game of the season, when La Sallo was leadinq by one point with thirty seconds to ploy, will long be remembered by every basketball fan who saw CONWAY. MANASIR On hundred niiwty-four the game. It was the longest shot ever seen on the Villenove court, end was a fitting end to a fine basketball career. John Torpey was the main reason for the Wildcats being able to work a pivot play so consistently, and his work all season under the basket was unsurpassed by any man against whom he played. Ben Geraghty and John Shevlin ployed a most consistent game, with Goraghty only three points short of high scoring honors in the Eastern court ranks. John Barry was one of the best forwards of the season, and to see the slim New Englander flash down the floor was tantamount to seeing a goal scored. Tom Ryan. Jack Robinson and Pop Travers, all Brooklyn boys, together with Bill Ferris, a Westerner. Sweeney and O'Meara formed the second string, and were liable at any time to step in and take the spotlight from the first five. It was they who gave the first team competition sufficient to keep them in winning condition. The first game to be played, opening the season, was with West Chester, and tho Wildcats had little difficulty in winning by a large score. Every man on the squad played and gave an exhibition of plain and fancy passing and shooting that not only proved interesting to the spectators, but was a joy to Coach Jacoos. Ursinus, in the second gamo. was handled in the same efficient manner. The final tally was 47 to 19. and throughout the gamo the Bears had not a chance to even the score. The Penn A. C. was the first club team on tho schodulo. and the lost, luckily for the clubs. The Villanovans had things all their own way for the ovening. Intricate double and triple passes from the pivot kept the Penn men on their toes and the spectators on their feet, but the Penn team never got closer than ten points to evenning the score. The final score was 47 to 27, the same score by which the Bucknell Bisons were beaten a week later. The first tough game of the season loomed up in the shape of St. John's College of Brooklyn. Always one of tho top teams in the metropolitan district, the Saints looked to be a tough row to hoe. They were. The final score was 31 to 29. and was in the Brooklyner's favor. Temple was the next foe to be faced, and besides having the best team in several years, the traditional rivalry made them a hard combina- tion to beat. The game was another thrilling one for those who like their baskotball in hard doses. The final score was 19 to 20, and Rod Rosan's shot, which would have meant victory for the Temple team, just missed going in as the gun ended the game. It bounced off the rim of the basket while every heart in the gym changed pace a beat. The Ursinus Bears were again faced on their home court, and were soundly trimmed 39 to 27. Duquesne, like Lochinvar, came out of the West, and took the Villanova scalp back there. Although Villanova scored more field goals, the Duquesne team had a wide enough margin of foul shots to their credit to win. At the half they led by one point, and in spite of the Wildcats creeping up again to almost tie the score, the end of the second half saw the men from Duquesne slowly increasing their lead. The final score was 36 to 25. Albright was expected to be another breather for the 'Cats, but they lost their breath and came home from Reading one night with a 39-37 defeat trailing them. The 'Cats had fought to within one goal of victory when the whistle ended the game. Temple was again to be faced, and was polished off with more dispatch than on the previous occasion: the score was 27-22. and was followed three days later by a 38-34 win over Dickinson. The Explorers from La Salle ended the season in grand style. Until Jocko Hurley sank a tremendously long shot to put Villanova into a travers one point lead just before the game ended, the winner was in doubt. Om hundred ninety-fivo HURLEY It was a fast, hard game from start to finish, and was a fitting end to a great season. The final score was increased by another point when Pop Travers made it 25-23 with a foul shot as the game ended. The year is over. Doc and the boys have finished a fine season, and have held their own with the rest of the Villanova teams in the winning column. Jocko Hurley, the captain, and only graduating member of the squad, performed brilliantly throughout the season, played a note- worthy season, and finished it in Frank Merriwell style. We hope that his feat will go down in the annals of sport at Villanova in the place that it deserves. The other ten men of the squad still have one or two more seasons of play. Geraghty. Barry. Shevlin (next season's captain). Ryan and Robinson, Pop Travers. O'Meara. Farris and Sweeney will all be back on the court again, with good material from the freshman squad to make them jump to hold their places. We are sure that they will be as good next year as they were last, even though one of the main plugs of the machine will be gone in the person of Jocko. The. season has endod. and can never be re-played. We wish that it could be. for the best bits of play and the tighest finishes in years were packed In it. But there will be othor years and other teams. Some just as good. We hope so. and wish them luck. VARSITY SCHEDULE Place V. C.

BASKETBALL IN SPITE of the comparative youth of the Junior Varsity Basketball team, it has become a tradition that it, like the other minor teams on the campus, shall be coached by underclassmen. The Junior Varsity is a team entirely separated from the varsity, and its squad is composed of those who for some reason or another prefer not to play with the varsity squad. For tho season of 1933-34 Frank McFeeley was coach, and he was able to build a .good team from the material which answered his first call for candidates. His team was built around Captain Bob Feehery, and the remainder of the first string was made up of Mooney. Lee. Taylor and Totin. The squad spent a couple of weeks in practice, and then were ready for their first test, a prac- tice session with tho varsity. The varsity players had no trouble in winning, but tho J. V. mon kept them on their toes in order to put the game away. Athough the teams scrimmaged several times after this, the J. V. was never able to improve over their first showing, and take the varsity scalp. The first game of the season for the J. V.'s with competition outside was with the J. V.'s of the University of Pennsylvania at the Palestra in Philadelphia. The qame was a hard-fought one. and neither team seemed to be able to collect more shots than the opposition, but the Kittens were unable to find the range and sank very few baskets. The Penn men were in better shape and sank 33 points in the form of goals and foul-shots, while the Kittens were limited by their inaccuracy to 18 points. The Penn A. C.'s J. V. team was next on the schedule, and the game was played as a preliminary to the Varsity game. The kittens were again on the short end of the score, but for the first half of tho game held the Penn Clubmen even. The second half spelled their doom though, and the final score was 24 to 17. The U. of P. men were played in a return game, and the Kittens showed improved form, although the Penn men took their measure again 38 to 26. as did the Haverford Aces, another club team, a week later by the heart breaking score of 31-29. The final gome of the season was tho best playod of tho yoor. and the boys hustled through in the last minutes of play against Banks College to win by six points. The final score was 32-26.

Calrambona, Clark FROSH BASKETBALL THE freshman basketball team had an average of .500 for the season of 1933-1934. They played six games and won from three teams: Temple. Ursinus, and West Chester, and lost later to the same three freshman teams. It has been traditional that an upperclassman take charge of the coaching of the freshman and J. V. sports, as well as the 150 pound team. The man who this year guided the frosh was Art Lynch, a Senior business man. and he did such a nice job that Doc Jacob's Varsity men had to extend them- selves to win whenever the teams scrimmaged, which was quite often, as they used the same floor. The first win of the season for the Frosh broke and was a preliminary to the Varsity game between most exciting ever witnessed in the gym and ended when the two teams met again, another interesting Temple freshmen were victorious by a close score. up a long winning stroak of the Temple Freshmen. Temple and Villanova. This game was one of the in a one point victory for the Kittens.

Galazin, Shoppmeyer and Maximovich were included in the starting line-up in most cases, and the team play resulting from their combined efforts in- dicated the thoroughness of the training they had received. The long hours of diligent practice under the watchful eye of an experienced player-coach were not spent in vain. It is quite evident that many of the Freshmen shall be aspiring contenders for berths on the Varsity 8asketball team if their style of play remains on a par with that displayed in the past season. In his first year as Coach. Art Lynch turned out a well coached team and to him is due much credit for the success he enjoyed in his first coaching assignment. Merptry. Kopch . ScbopfM� V ', lylKk.

Murphy BASEBALL A LARGE squod responded to coach Doc Jacob's call for baseball candidates late in February. With them was most of tho team from the previous yoar, with the exception of the first base- man. Only one pitcher was left from the previous pitching staff, which proved to be the main problem. The weather kept the squad indoors until three days before the opening game, on the second of April at Princoton, and they had little opportunity for real fielding and batting practice. In spite of the weather. Doc managed to put in plenty of real work in developing his battery candidates. Only one pitcher and a catcher were left from the previous year's team, and it was a r.ost difficult problem to solvo. About ten men reported for the pitching staff, and they spent most of their time under the per- sonal supervision of “Doc. Every afternoon the candidates lined up in the gym and worked out tho kinks, and developed their curves and control in an endeavor to show Doc that they were just the mon to pitch his outfit to an undefeated season. Tom O'Donnel was the varsitv pitcher left from the previous year, and a pre-season injury to nis arm seemed to be keeping him from getting into real pitching form for the first couple of weeks, but after plenty of easy work-outs, the arm developed so well that he was able to step on the mound in the oponer. Of the newcomers, the most promising candidate was Vaughn, who stood out in this early season showing as a hurler with lots of speed, and that more important and rarer thing in collegiate ranks, control. The infield was in good condition. Mahan showed himself to be a hard hitter and brainy fielder, and took care of the first sack in fine style. Next to him at second was Stan Wronski. captain of the 1934 team, and at short-stop. Toby Cayanaugh. The third sack was in doubt, for Frank Skaff's undisputed possession of the sack in the previous season was challenged by another new man, Bon Gereghty. the flashy forward of the basketball quintet. Both men hit well, and fielded well, but because of his speed. Frank was Two hundred moved out to left field to start the season and try out the new infield combination. With him in the outfield were Murphy and Hurlburt. The Squad journeyed to Princeton to play the first game of the season during the Easter recess, and were downed to the tune of eight to one. Villanova found that a total of seven errors was too big a margin to spot the Princeton club, for several of them were directly responsible for runs. Princeton's first score was the result of a fluke single by Brown. He was sacrificed to second by Perry and scored on a hit by Myers. The second inning put the game on ice for the Princetonians. They were able to score four runs on one real hit. Follansbee. first man up. was safe on a poor throw to first, and moved to second on French's sacrifice. Gerhardt was safe on another bad throw to the first sack, and McCormack was hit by a pitched ball to fill the bases. Gosnell pushed a run across on a poor throw to first, and Brown singled to score McCormack. Perry made the bag on balls and Gosnell scored on another bad throw. Myers made tho second out, but Wegener was walked to fill tho basos aga:n. but Staff retired the side by forcing Perry out at third on Follansbee's hit. Tho 'Cats scored their only run in the first half of the fifth. Charley Hurlburt doubled to left field. Hurley singled, and was put out on O'Donnel’s hit on a fielders choice at second, giving Hurlburt a chance to score. Lenzi drove a liner to McCormack, who doubled the out with O'Donnell at first to retire the side. In the sixth inning Jacobs decided to give a new man a try in the box. and sent Vaughn, a sopho- more. in to relieve O'Donnell, but aside from giving Doc a chance to look over his new pitcher, the change produced little results. The lack of practice, evidenced by seven errors, was too much for the Villanova outfit, and the game ended with the score 8 to I. The University of Pennsylvania was the second club on the schedule, and the 'Cats traveled In town to Franklin field on April twelfth to try to make up for tho loss of the first game of the season. The game was tied at two-all from the third inning to the eighth, and the Villanovan's hopes for a win looked pretty well assured when Frank Skaff blasted out a home run in the eighth to break the deadlock. But Bob Freeman promptly blasted those hopes with a homer in the same inning with two men on the bases, and the game ended with the score at the same figures: 5 to 3. Frank Skaff was the big gun of the Villanova attack, getting a homer and two singles in four trips to the plate, and was followed closely for hitting honors by Bill Shanahan of Penn, who batted out a double and two singles in four times at bat. Eddie Vaughn carried the pitching for the 'Cats until the eighth when he was relieved by Tom O’Donnell. Vaughn allowed ten hits, and Villanova collected six from the two Penn hurlers, Barton and Harrington. Tom O'Donnell was able to blank the home team for the remainder of the two innings. Villanova scored in the second with Barton on the mound. Mahan led off with a hard double, and O'DONNELL ACTION DURING PENN A. C. GAME SKAFF Two hundred ono wont to third on a scratch hit by Skaff. Hurlburt walked, and advanced to second as Mahan scored on a sacrifice by Geraghty. No more hits were forthcoming, and the ’Cats were forced to wait until the third inning to score again when Skaff pushed Wronski home with a long hit. The last Villanova run was scored by the same Skaff who hit his homer in the eighth. The Penn A. C. game was the first home game of the season, and the 'Cats had hopes of break- ing into the win column, but luck was again against them and the final score of the game was four to three. Villanova's first score came in the third inning. With Murphy. Cavanaugh and Lenzi on the bags. Murphy stole home on an attempt to put Mahan out when he stole first. The second run was scored by Krasja, and the third by Murphy, both on Toby Cavanaugh’s single. Both men had gotten on the bags by good hits, and it looked as if the Villanova ns might be able to pull the game from the fire, but Frank Skaff poled a long fly to the outfield wh'ch ended the inning and the ball game. The next two games of the season were played within a day or so of each other, and both put the 'Cats in the win column. The first was with Lehigh, and the 'Cats scored six runs to win by a three run margin: the second was with Ursinus, and the Villa novans again won by a good score, five to one. The game with the West Chester State Teacher’s College was the first shut-out of the season for Villanova. and was pitched for the ’Cats by Collins, another new man. The final score was six to nothing, and. in spite of the bitter wind which made the day seem like mid-December, the game was a good one. CLOSE.

McCaba, Pickal, O'Hara, Murphy FRESHMAN BASEBALL TEAM HAVING distinguished himself by training a unit which made a fine showing on the basketball court. Art Lynch was assigned the difficult task of moulding a Freshman baseball team. He willingly accepted the assignment and selected Bill Sirica to assist him. With the first sign of clement weather the coaches gathered the yearlings about them for initial workouts. The enthusiasm displayed by these young hopefuls was encouraging indeed. After several days of limbering up. the group was organized into a team, which gave a remarkable performance con- sidering the short time they had played together. Every afternoon round the Freshmen out on the field behind Mendol Hall busily engaged in improving thoir batting oyes. and strengthening their throw- ing arms. Ursinus Frosh was the first team to face the Lynch coached aggregation, in a contest staged at the stadium. Although the Kittens played a fine game, they fell victims to the Cubs attack, losing by a score of 8 to 4. This was tho only gamo played up to the time this article was written so that further data on gamos played is not available. Among the players who form the nucleus of tho team wo find Maximovich in the role of prin- cipal pitcher. Donovan served admirably behind the bat. while Shoppmeyer, the Captain-elect, suc- cessfully filled the position of shortstop. Giermak. Morin. McCabe. Cavaliere, McAuliffe and Mulli- gan also earned permanent berths on the squad. Coaches Art Lynch and Bill Sirica should be congratulated for the fino way they supervised and organized the players into a trained team, and the players themselves deserve commendation for their part in carrying on the prestige of Villanove in the realm of Freshman Sports.

Connell TRACK WITH the passing of the class of 1934 the track team will lose some of its best men, hard workers and enthusiastic supporters. One or two of these men are sure to go down in the annals of track at Villanova as stars in their field, and the others will be remembered for their spirit, and the fine work which they did in their four seasons of track. Although the team is losing the men who formed the nucleus of the squad, those who leave are happy in the thought that there are others able to carry their standard forward with credit. During the past in-door season the team made two appearances in collegiate meets. Although the weather prevented steady work-outs on the board track, the team, in spite of this handicap, was able to account for itself very creditably. A four man team was sent down to Morgantown as Villanova’s representatives in the University of West Virginia meet on February the tenth. Between them, these four iron men garnered eight medals, and finished second in the team championship within a few points of winning the meet, and that among teams with two and three times their num- ber of competitors. Captain Joe Fenstemacher. in his favorite sprint, the 70-yard dash, beat a fine field to win in the record time of 7.3 seconds. Carl Hickey won the broad jump, placed second in the pole vault, and was one of the relay team that finished third to Michigan and Pitt. Jim Elliott took second place in the half mile, adding another point to the team's score. • Two weeks later, in Washington, the team made another fine showing with the same men in the Catholic University meet. Jim Elliott, in the Ryan 1000 yard run, a feature of the games, placed second, an exceptionally good show- ing. as it was his first race at that distance. Joey Fenste- macher equaled Jumbo's feat by placing second in the Abbey Club invitation dash against a very classy IOIERT7. MANAGER field. Two hundrod � i Carl Hickey took the broad jump, in spite of an injured hand, with a jump of 21 feet I inch. Second and third places went to Villanova men, Di Bernadino and Piszcek finishing in that order. In the 220, Joe Fenste- macher again took the lead and won in the good time of 23.3. The shot-put was another clean sweep for the Vill- anovans. Ed Sullivan won the event and was followed in order by Wetzler and Blanchard. In the pole-vault, Bill Grimberg took the first honors at over nine feet, where Alex Kramer, against a handicapped field, placed third in the 440. against one of the biggest entries of the evening. Jim Downey, entered in the mile against a group of the best milers in collegiate ranks, was unable to place, but his performance earned him many praises from the team’s followers. Frank Connell and Art Mahan, in their first appear- ance against top-notch competition, were not able to place, but showed plenty of grit, and seem to be fine material for next year, lacking only experience. The mile relay team of Bobertz, Kramer. Wrona and Elliott registered a hard fought win in one of the best races on the program. The outdoor season opened in the middle of March, and a large squad reported after the call for candidates was issued. The coach. Bob Regan was prevented from devoting all his time to the track men by the spring foot- ball sessions, but the more experienced members of the team helped the newer men. and good results were obtained. The first dual meet of the outdoor season was that with Rider College and the Wildcats had little trouble winning by a good score. The final tally was overwhelm- ingly in favor of Villanova—100 to 27. The 'Cats were able to take eleven of the first posi- tions, against four for the Ridermen. The first win of the meet was Rider’s in the high hurdles, and was immediately equaled in the next event by Captain Joe Fenstemacher. who led the field to the tape in the 100 yard dash in the good time of 10 seconds. The mile was one of the best races of the meet, and the pack was led by Jim Downey to the last stretch, where Dipple of Rider came up from behind to nip him at the tape, Jim not having enough kick to fight him off in the stretch. The time was 4.49, fairly good for the condition of the track. hickcy VI •URT Two hundred toven the last Rider competitor dropped out. The two mile run seemed like a marathon race, as none of the men seemed in any great hurry to get around the track. Jenkins, a Rider man. was the winner. In the famous Penn Relay Carnival the Villanova team of Fenstemacher, Wrona. Kramer and Elliot won the mile relay for their only first place in the two day college carnival. In the 880 yard relay, the Wildcats, run- ning against time, failed by a tenth of a second to make the final heat. Carl Hickey, 1933 Hop. Skip and Jump champion, was unable to get better than third place, and in the Broad Jump, after having made 22 feet and 4 inches, was forced to drop out because of an injury to his hand in his last jump, which was discovered to be a broken bone. The second dual meet of the season was with the West Chester Teachers team, and the 'Cats lost by twenty points. The final score was 73 to 53. The Villanovans showed superiority in the running events, winning four of the six, but lost out in the field events. Joe Fenstemacher and Jumbo Jim Elliott won two events a piece. Joe's wins were in the 100, which was run in 10 seconds, and in the 220, which he ran in 23 seconds. This was the only event in which the 'Cats won a clean sweep. Jim Elliot won the 440 in 52 seconds, and the 880 in 2 minutes, 2.2 seconds. The only double winner was Johnny Geib, who took first places in the low and high hurdles. Smarting under the defeat suffered at the hands of West Chester, the Villanova harriers came back the following week and completely outclassed the strong track and field aggregation from La Salle College. The outstanding feature of the meet was the establishment of a new pole-vault record by that diminutive star, Carl Hickey, who surpassed his former mark by clearing the bar at thirteen feet. Hickey was also victorious in the broad and high jumps, thereby setting the pace for the rest of the 'Cats performers. Captain Fenstemacher and ''Jumbo Elliott were the only other performers for the ‘Cats who repeated first place performances, the former winning the 100 and 220, while the latter was victorious in both the 440 and 880 runs. Villanova made three clean sweeps during the meet, in the 440 yard dash, the broad jump and in the high jump. Their total of first places was eight as compared with six for the visitors, and the final count showed Villanova had accumulated 78 points, while La Salle had 48. At the time this article is being written, only one more meet remains, but the most MILE RELAY TEAM Kr«™ r, Wrc «. Elliott Two hundred eight important one on the schedule, that with our arch-rivals. Temple. We hope the 'Cats can show enough to win. They have all worked hard and deserve the satisfaction of beating the arch- rivals. Joe Fenstemacher, Henry Bobertz. Jocko Hurley, Bill Burt, Jim Downey and Mike Tomasso have been putting their best out for the team for four years, and we hope that the team will be able to replace them, a dif- cu!t task indeed. Captain Joe Fenstemacher has been the outstanding sprint man in the college during his four years on the team, and his captaincy is a recognition of his worth, both as a point winner and stimulator during that time. We hope for another to fill his place in the short events, but we fear that he'll be a long time coming. Jocko Hurley has been one of the most active athletes in the class of '34, and on the track was second only to Fensty in the dashes: and was even able to push him hard all the time to keep his lead as number one dash man. Henry Bobertz, Bill Burt, Jim Downey and Mike Tomasso are at the end of four years of hard work for the team, and their efforts have not gone unappreciated, nor have they been unfruitful. In Burt and Tomasso the team has had two pole vaulters who were almost sure point winners in the dual meets, and good competition in the bigger ones. Bill has also specialized in the hurdles, and turned in a fine job. Bobertz and Jim Downey have been pulling iron man stuff during their four years on the team. Both are long distance men, and the mile in their hands was a safe bet in almost every dual meet in the past two years. As cross country runners they have few, if any, equals in the school. Their loss will be greatly felt when the outdoor season opens again in September. Even though most of the team seems to be graduating there are a few left to carry on the Blue and White. Jumbo Elliot and Steve Kramer, juniors, are sure to be the basis of next year’s team. They were both on the national championship freshman team of 1932, and they have improved immensely since, so that with them and the others who are coming up. the team should have as good a record or better than this year.

Tho team has no coach for this season, but is ably managed by Lou Marechal. who has arranged a long schedule of fourteen matches. The men who started the season were chosen from the best scorers in the tournament, which was held early in the spring on the St. David s course. Tho first match of the season was that with the Boston College golfers. The Villanovans won in a clean sweep, all of the matches being decided on tho last hole, except Jim McNerney's. Jim won his match three up and two to go. Elliott. Duffy, and Cragg holed out their winning scores on the eighteenth green.

Copt.: M r cH l. lurk BOXING AND WRESTLING THE boxing and wrestlinq teams were an innovation at Villanova. Due to a late start there were no inter-collegiate matches scheduled for the wrestling team, and only one for the boxing team, with Temple. Joe Foley, former coach at Penn State, was the man who guided the leather-pushers in their quest for blows and bruises. The squad showed great promise for next year, as all the candidates but Mike Tomasso were under-classmen, and with the experience which they gained during the past season should form the nucleus of a winning team in the inter-collegiate matches. The only bout of the season, that with Temple, was won by the Owls, with a five to two margin, Mike Tomasso having won by a knockout for Villanova and Joe Pilconis defaulting to Charley Cox. Temple won the other five scraps by three decisions and two knock-outs. At the intra-mural boxing and wrestling show the members of the teams were given a chance at their first actual competition. The nine bouts of the evening gave almost all the men an opportunity to exchange bloody noses, and provided some fine boxing and slugging which kept the audience in an uproar. The wrestling was confined to a fixed bout between Don Blanchard and Ed. Sul- livan. It lasted for about twenty minutes, and during this time the boys gave a profes- sional looking exhibition with lots of speed and grunt. The training of Coach Zizak showed a great deal of effectiveness, and with those two as a nucleus the groan and grunters should have a good team in the coming season.

Wraarti Two hundrad twplwo SWIMMING THE swimming team is in its first year at the college, and at the end of its season of five meets found itself on the long end of the score, having won three and lost two. It lost its first two meets to Osteopathy College of Philadel- phia. and won the succeeding meets from West Chester and Hahnemann Medical College, giving them a percentage of .600, which ranks about halfway down the scale of all the teams of the school. Mr. Martin Gill was kind enough to take upon himself the task of training the swimmers and of arranging meets for them, and did a very good job with the inexperienced material with which he started. After a few weeks of practice under the skillful eye of Mr. Gill, the team met the first of its five scheduled opponents in the representatives of the Philadelphia Col- lege of Osteopathy. Competing against a much more experienced team the Villanova natators were defeated, only after a close and interesting swimfest however. Though the boys only had a few weeks' preparation they gave a creditable show- ing. and it was apparent, that with a little more experience, they would develop into a strong outfit. This observation was affirmed a week later, when the team again met Osteopathy, and though defeated, the score was much closer than in the previous meeting. Practicing diligently, the team improved rapidly and won their next two engage- ments from West Chester and Hahnemann Medical College. In their last two engagements the members turned in fine performances, and all indications point to a promising future for this branch of athletics at Villanova. The squad was composed of two seniors. Jim Downey and Bill Hines, and the rest underclassmen. At the other end of the scale were McGee, Hosey, and O'Hara, all freshman: and the largest group of all topped off the squad, the sophomores and juniors. They were Walt Coyle. Barrel'' Foley, John Strong, John La Rosa and Paul Laughlin. At the end of the season. John Strong, one of the mainstays of this year's team, was elected to lead next year's natators, and all indications point to the rapid development of a representative team in this new undertaking.

KELLY O'NEIL COYLE KENNEDY PETINGA DUNIGAN KIEFFER SCERCA Two Hundred fourteen INTRA-MURAL ORGANIZED intra-mural athletics are in their second year at Villanova. Fathers McKee and Vrana, O.S.A., took charge of the organization of the league and succeeded very well, assisted by Johnny Hughes, who, for the past two ears has done yeoman service in every possible capacity in the league management. The league was organized due to a somewhat belated recognition of the fact that the greater part of the student body was practically barred from Varsity competition by lack of ability or physical equipment, and that they were undoubtedly the ones who most needed the athletics. To give everyone a chance at some sport with which they are familiar games and meets have been arranged in almost all sports. While there have been actually a series of games in basketball, volleyball, indoor baseball and football, meets in swimming, boxing, wrestling, tennis and golf have also given the halls in the league a chance to get every man into some sport, which is the primary purpose of the movement. At the end of the basketball season this year an innovation was introduced in the shape of an ''All-League team. The team was chosen by vote of all the players in the league and the result was a placing of two Austin men, two Fedigan men, and one from Alumni on the first team. Harry White and Joe McGovern were the Austin representatives, Bill Levis and Steve Kramer the Fedigan men, and Frank Skaff the lone Alumni player on the team. Alumni Hall seems to have an unbreakable grip on the basketball championship, for they won it again this year, which gives them two wins since the league was organized. The league games are played twice a week on both floors, the old and new gyms, with alternation, so that no team suffers any disadvantage from the difference in courts. The football season showed Alumni still in the lead. All varsity players are barred WILLIS, HARTNETT, HAMEL HUGHES. REV. E. B. McKEE. O.S.A.. FACULTY ADVISER.

The other halls had begun to despair of ever winning the league title from Alumni when Mendel waded through the boxing bouts to collect an easy first, which gave the other teams the hope that they might cut down the lead somewhat in the other sports. The Day-Hops were the winners of the swimming meet, and won, you might say, in a walk, although they had the smallest team in the meet. Not that they were born with gold-fish in their teeth; they're just good hard swimmers, and they certainly redeemed themselves for the celler position which they occupied during the basketball season. Two hundred � ! � ••« The baseball teams play both the in-door and out-door variety of the game, and even though it seems odd, the in-door as well as the out-door is played outdoors. In the first year of the league's life, in-door baseball was not very well organized due to a lack of interest, but this year the game has attracted fans, so that we play all kinds of baseball in the intra-murals. The volleyball games found an enthusiastic welcome once the players had learned that the game was as much fun and as much a man's game as any other. At the present writing, the winners of the baseball and volleyball leagues have not been determined, and du9 to the closeness of the standings of the teams it would be folly to offer any predictions as to the outcomes. An innovation in this year's program was in the form of a golf tournament held in the spring at the St. David’s Course. As was manifest in all intra-mural activities this year, much interest was shown in this tournament, and a large number of representa- tives from the various student groups participated. After a most enjoyable and inter- esting afternoon, the day-hop club emerged the victors, closely followed by Fedigan and Austin Halls. At the present writing plans are being made for the conducting of a tennis tour- nament, to be held eariy in May. Already a large number of students have entered the contest, and all indications point to a very interesting battle. Based on their show- ing last year, and the fact that many of last year's veterans are competing, the day- hops are favored to repeat again. To Frs. McKee and Vrana, O.S.A., is due much credit for their interest and untir- ing efforts to put this movement on an efficiently organized level. Under such leader- ship it should be only a short time until the aims of the administration are realized. MENDEL HALL BASKETBALL Quinn, ftaeiaa, Murphy, (rune. Walth Savilla.

Moderator BELLE AIR I AST fall, when pians were being made for the completion of this, the 1934 edition — of the Belle Air, it was decided to follow a theme of foreign or unusual character. However, with the announcement by the Administration that each student was to receive a copy of this year’s volume, plans were altered. It was the opinion of the staff, that since this was to be the first all-Villanova year book, a theme woven around Villanova itself would be most appropriate. Accordingly work was begun in this direction. Further, the current year, 1934, marks the second year of the presidency of Rev. Edward V. Stanford, O.S.A., to whom this volume is dedicated. Previously holding the office of college Chaplain, Fr. Stanford has for many years been prominently associated with Villanova, and since his ascendancy to the presidency has been doing all in his power to not only raise its position in the scholastic world but also to assist the stu- dents in whatever way possible. So to a man who has always had the interest of Villanova and her students close to his heart, we humbly dedicated our volume. At the outset, numerous difficulties confronted the staff. The office, formerly serving as quarters for the Belle Air had been usurped by the Villanovan and work had to progress in the dorms. Soon after the start of the second semester the staff petitioned the Rev. Bernard M. Albers, O.S.A., vice-president, for quarters and he very obligingly equipped the now famous 51 Mendel Hall. The staff wishes to take this opportunity to thank Father Albers for his kindness in providing this most important requisite. With these new accommodations, work was greatly facilitated but it was a late beginning. Suddenly it dawned upon us that in a few short weeks commencement would be at hand, and our volume was still in an embryonic stage. It was then that, with a few words of encouragement and counsel from the moderator and editor, the staff got down to hard work, and after a few all night vigils, the volume was completed. Upon examination of this edition you will find views which have been a part and parcel of the life of the students for the past four years. For our frontispiece, we have selected an embossment of the beautiful new Monastery completed this year. Our selection was warranted not only by the beauty of the edifice, but also be- cause it is symbolic of the spirit of determination and progress which has char- Two hundred twonty-ono JOHN T. CORKIIL Editor-in-Chiof EDWARD V. OCELUS Buiincji Manager acterized the action of the Augustinian Fathers since time immemorial. For our major and minor dividers the same plan was followed. We attempted to select views which would connote as nearly as possible the spirit of the general theme. In fine, our ambitions were to make this book as Villanovan as possible. A word of congratulation is due to the efficient organization of the Business Staff which made possible the financial success of this volume. Also to the able Editor-in-chief and his industrious assist- ants, much praise is due for a book in whose covers will be kept forever bright the happy glow of college days. FRANCIS J.

Two hundred fwonty-thre Villanovan WiTH the reeling drums of the press stamping out the last issue of its sixth volume, the Villanovan attained an astral peak in its thus-far young career. A year of enerqetic and consistent work has established this weekly publication more firmly as a marked suc- cess in the realm of news. When the Villanovan put its first step forward as a weekly newspaper in 1928. the staff at its helm met with many diversified and discouraging obstacles. Undaunted courage and determined effort were demanded of every member of the small staff. Each staff in turn willingly gave its unselfish and untiring best in an effort to lay an unshakable foundation. With this firm back- ground and ever increasing popularity, the Villa- novan was destined to pusn on. overcome ad- versity and qain a dominant position in the journalistic field. If a higher standard wore to be reached, and the strides of progress were not to be hindered, the paper must cope with the de- mands of advancement. Consequently, last year the Villanovan underwent a thorough remodeling. The newspaper was converted into a pattern of modern editorial and news standards. It now em- bodied stylo and convenience, prevalent both in handling and reading. This was a preference to the heretofore unconventional and unwieldy sheet. In consequence of this radical change and determined enerqy in behalf of advancement, the Villanovan has this year progressed to a still higher peak. A staff new in title but well seasoned in the elements of newspaper demands, came forth not only to maintain all previous accomplishments but to further the paper in its content and intercollegiate relations. Porhaps one of the foremost steps toward national recognition was effected during this year. The Villanovan applied for membership and was admitted to both the National Scholastic Press Association and the Catholic School Press Association. Affiliation with thoso associations has led to much worth-while advice and criticism. Another item that has demonstrated advancement is the increase in subscription. This year there were twenty-five hundred copies of the Villanovan printed weekly in contrast to fourteen hundred copies weekly last year. The success of this paper can. to a large degroe. bo attributed to the unselfish labors expended by the senior editors. Raymond J. Harter, editor-in-chief merits a most generous portion or credit in recompense for the arduous and unlimited hours of work that he so willingly gave in his endeavor to reach the goal he had set for the paper. After fulfilling the office of college editor in his third year with the paper, he proved his ability in guiding the Villanovan through a successful year as editor-in-chief. Robert A. Geist. managing editor, also manifested a generous portion of ability and material aid in directing the journal and lending to its editorial elevation. Charles P. Goggi. college editor, proved a capable and consistent worker in fulfilling his none too easy task. The Villa- novan also ewes much to William F. Zeil. William H. Holmes. Joseph H. Lily. Edward F. Kilbane and Joseph W. Fenstemacher. the other senior editors. Undivided credit is due to the moderator. Rev. Edward B. McKee. O.S.A., for his keen interest and active co-operation at all times.

The book was received with well-founded praise by the student body, for it truly outranked previous volumes in style, quantity and workmanship. The content of the Mendel Bulletin is a compila- tion of the best theses presented by Seniors in the School of Science during the year. Theso theses are of a scientific nature and require many hours of research in the laboratories. In many instances special slides had to be made on which specimens could be placed for study under the microscope. Although tho book is edited for students interested in the scientific field, it is read by the ontire student body. As in previous issues, an high-light of this current number is an article written by this year's winner of the Mendel Modal. This medal is awarded an- nually to a Catholic priest or layman who has made a valuable contribution to science. The Mendel Bulletin is published as a tribute to the momory of the great Augustinian scientist, Johann Gregor Mondol. It is to him that the world william r. McCarthy.

O.S.A., Dean of the School of Science, is moderator of the Mendel Bulletin. It was due to his constant encouragement and guidanco that this present volume succeeded in surpassing previous editions. Words of thanks must be offered Father Dougherty for the faithful devo- tion he has shown to the staff. William P. McCarthy was Editor-In-Chief of the book. He was assisted by Edward V.

Guided by Rev. John J. Vrana. O.S.A.. the faculty moderator, the staff under the leadership of Paetrus F. Banmiller, editor-in-chief, began a detailed study of magazine publications. Weeks were spent in pursuing the technique of standard journals until finally the initial issue came into circulation as the finest bit of work- manship in its field that the engineers have ever offered, which is a credit to the ability of the staff. As an assistant to the editor. Josopn P. Costigan proved his ability with timely advice, serving none the less as contributor with his popular Colleqiate World column. And it was in the hands of W. Rogers Hamel to solve the necessary businoss activi- ties as Businoss Manager. Campus and fraternity news, an all-important item for the various fraterni- ties, wore prepared by Frank J.

The past year has featured interviews with some leading engineers and industrial leaders in the East; among whom were Carl T. Humphrey. D.Sc. These were flanked by an interesting Alumni Column, a column featuring exchanges with publications from Engineering schools all over the country, faculty biographies, organization reviews, outlines of the many courses offered by the Technology school, and bits of humor to balance the content-matter. The ENGINEER has been recognized by national technical associations for college publications and it is hoped that it will prosper next year like it has this year.

Villanova has not overlooked this element in its collegiate program; hence there exists upon the campus various organizations, which very capably offer such opportunities to each member of the student body in par- ticular. It has been the policy of Villanova to band students together who are residents of a particular State or locality; thus there is given a proper impetus to fellowship which will be instrumental in creating life-long friendships. Villanova creates and holds credence in fellowship; inculcating this ideal, its organi- zations have become exemplary in their pur- pose, and unexcelled in action.

Biqley V ULANOVA College can well be proud of the Lambda Kappa Delta Fraternity. Incorporated within its constitution is the statement that one of the ideals of the fraternity is to foster a spirit of common fellowship among its members and among the other students of the School of Science. It is a distinct tribute to the fraternity that there does exist in the School of Science a comaraderie unrivaled by any of the other branches of the college. Since its inception, the fraternity has been the only organization on the campus that has a definitely limited membership. Students, who in the Freshman year have a scholastic standing above the general class average, and who are deemed possessed of the necessary qualities whicn go to malte up a gentlemanly spirit, are considered for membership. A Board of Admissions con- ducts a personal interview with each prospective member and passes on the candidate's qualifications. In the past year, the fraternity innovated a plan of student tutoring that gained the heartiest praise of the administration. Lectures were given to freshmen members of the society by seniors throughout the year. By this plan, the freshmen gained added knowledge, and a keener interest was stimulated in those scientific subjects which formed the basis of the senior's tutoring. In addition, the club yearly sponsors a social program, which functions are among the season's highlights. Foremost among these was the annual Spring Hop held in the gymnasium that proved so successful. The annual dinner dance held in Philadelphia for the members late in the spring was another event that will long be remembered by those who attended. The Lambda Kappa Delta stands as a fitting tribute to those men of vision who were first to see the need of a common fellowship among the students of the School of Science. Yearly it has flourished, until today it holds an astral place among campus organizations. And the work done this year speaks well for its continued advancement. To Rev. Joseph M. Dougherty. O.S.A., Moderator, and the officers is due the highest praise for their efforts in continuing the club's enviable record. FRANCIS J. DITCHEY President Two hundred thirty-two PHI KAPPA PI THE Phi Kappa Pi fraternity of the School of Technology has the illustrious distinction of being the oldest organization on the campus. In the month of October. 1908. twenty members of the engineering school banded together and established plans for a society which would have for its purpose. (I) to increase the practical knowledge of engineering principles for its members, and (2) to bring about a fraternal friendship which would later be of much profit to industrial members, and to the society itself. From its very inception the society has lived up to the principles for which it was founded, by means of weekly forums, industrial inspection tours, and the traditional victory dance, the Owl Hop.” Ever abiding by the ideals of the founders who choose the motto Phrata Kai Prokope as a guiding spirit, the fraternity continued their noteworthy achievements this year. At the wcokly meet- ings various members of the club delivered lectures or papers on topics of especial interest to engineers. Covering a wide range of subjects, they added to the general knowledge of each mem- ber new facts and thoughts which they might never have encountered. In this way the fraternal spirit of all working together toward a common course is exemplified. Several illustrated lectures were delivered, and films of great engineering projects were also shown at the various weekly meetings. One of the most outstanding social events of the year, although not too social for the pledgees, was the initiation of the evening of March 15. Woe to the man who couldn't withstand the electrical onslaughts of connivinq engineers. Forty new pledgees successfully passed the ordeal, and were rewarded amply immediately after the proceedings at a deliqhtful banquet held in the students’ dining hall. The gathering was addressed by Dean Humphrey of the School of Technology, who stressed the ideals of fraternal organization. The traditional Owl Hop of '33 justified in every extent its position in a rank with the success- ful hops of former years. It was a true victory dance, climaxing a day of much importance to all students, the day of Villanova’s glorious football victory over Temple University. The gym was taste- fully decorated in the engineer's own unique fashion. Tc Joseph P. Callaghan and his committee the club cannot extend enough credit for this outstanding social success. C.

The purpose of the society is to bring to- gether Mechanical, and Chemical Engineers, and to acquaint I hem with the practical side of the field which they will pursue in later life. The student engineer is also given the opportunity to express himself on engineering topics at the bi-monthly meet- ing when instructive lectures are given by the members. To complement the theoretical classroom studies, practical field trips were sponsored by the Chapter to give the potential engineer the opportunity to see the operations of large industrial and manufacturing plants. Among those inspected were Adam Scheldt's Brewery, at Norristown. Pa.. Lee Tire Corporation, and the Summerville Tubing Company of Consho- hocken. Pa. The Grand Chapter meeting of the Eastern Division of the Society was held at Drexel Institute on April 9 and 10. Here education was furthered through contact with the older, experienced, practic- ing enqincer, who is always ready to give a helping hand to the student when he becomes involved in a bewildering situation. To Professor J. Stanley Morehouse and the officers of the organization, is due considerable credit for the manner in which they have conducted the affairs of the society, and for elevating it among the leaders of the national society. victor t.

Patterned after the senior society, its fundamental purpose is to increase the students' knowledge by various inspection tours to foster friendship among the members and to acquaint them with the advancements and achievements being made in the pro- fession of their choice. Meetings are held bi-monthly, and durinq the past year the senior members, numbering eleven, delivered illustrated lectures on technical subjects, both interest- ing and important because of their relation to that branch of engineering which the members intend to pursue. Another means of furthering tho students' knowledge is the making of various inspection tours. This year the group visited the Budd Manufacturing Co., the 8rill Car Works and also inspected the under-pinnings of City Hall, in Philadelphia. The parent organization yearly conducts a contest for the senior members. The graduating students from all the student chapters are requested to submit a paper on some technical subject, either pertaining to his thesis, hobby, or course of study. These papers are read before the senior society, and after being examined by a judging committee, the best paper is selected. Last year. Russel Hurst, a member of Villanova's chapter, won first prize, bringing renown to himself and the society. This organization has made noteworthy progress, and much praise is deservedly theirs. To Pro- fessor Thomas J. McCormick and the officers is due considerable credit for the manner in which they performed the duties of the society, and also for their unselfish efforts in not only retaining for it the esteemed position it now holds, but in achieving even greater heights.

Heretofore the students had been without any organization or representation. It was with the advent of Harry S. Bueche as professor of electrical engineering that definite plans were mado for tho in- stitution of a representative club. On October 13. Professor Bueche with a number of his students visited the Engineers' Club in Philadelphia. After con- sultation with officials of the national society, the necessary recognition for the establishment of a student chapter was received. At the initial meeting officers for the ensuing year were elected, and it was proposed that in order to acquaint the potential electrical engineers with the practical side of their study, a series of lectures would be given by the various mcmbors. It was also agreed that to further increase their practical knowledge, inspection tours would be made of various companies whose work was in their field. During the year the club members wore most enthusiastic in carrying out the purposes for which they had united. The group visited the Richmond Station of the Philadelphia Electric Company, one of the most modernly equipped plants of its kind in the world. On Navy Day they journoyed to the Philadelphia Navy Yard, whcro they made a complete inspection of the U. S. S. New Mexico. The electrical equipment was of course of primary interest. Much credit is due to Prof. Bueche. for his initiative and interest as faculty advisor; also to the officers for the interest they have shown in forming the club and thereby bringing recognition to the electrical group of engineers.

In keeping with the purpose of the society, bi-monthly meet- ings are held which are devoted entirely to aeronautical discus- sions. Aside from these regular meetings, the group has. during the past year, been addressed once a month by Mr. John Rogers, who is affiliated with the Somerton Aviation Co., of Philadelphia. His practical, illustrated talks have been of great interest and aid to the members. In addition to his lectures he also conducted an open forum on the subject of aero-dynamics. WILLIAM F.

In addition to the activities of these meetings, the members make interesting tours. Among the various excursions taken were those to the Patxo Field at Norristown, the Franklin Museum Aero- nautical Display, and tho Naval Aircraft Factory, in Philadelphia. At present, attempts are being made to affiliate with some national society, and if the enthusi- asm displayed by the members so far is any criterion, this society should bring added fame to itself and Villanova.

BASILIO FRESNO. O.SA. PRESENTING Villanova's youngest organization, and judging from the enthusiasm of the members it is destined to become one of the most active societies on the campus. Through the efforts of Rev. Basilio Fresno. O.S.A., professor of Spanish in the Arts School, the first formal meeting of the organization was held at the beginning of the second semester. Following election of the officers to serve for the remainder of the school year. Fr. Fresno outlined the aims and the principles for which the organization was founded. The chief aim of the club is to acquire a greater knowledge of not only the Spanish language, its form and presentation, but also to acquaint the members with the mannerisms and customs of the Spanish people. In order to accomplish this, various members, from timo to time, spoke at the meetings on topics dealing with the romanticism, literature and customs of Spain and Spanish Amerca. An interesting sidelight of the organization is that the English language is forbidden while a meeting is in progress. All business and discussion is conducted in the Spanish tongue. In order to furlher increase the practicability of the organization a definite program has been outlined for the coming year. This includes a series of debates in Spanish with other Spanish clubs in this vicinity. A number of Spanish plays are planned to be held in the college auditorium. The social aspect of the club is also to be brought to the fore. A yearly dinner-dance is planned, to be held ex- clusively in a Spanish restaurant. Membership of the club is open to those students who are native-born, or who have a working knowledge of the Spanish language. Three meetings are held each month. All the organizations on the campus unite in extending to Fr. Fresno and the Spanish Club their best wishes for the success of all the undertakings of this group. May it grow and grow until the Spanish club at Villanova will be a tradition, and attain an exalted position among the other campus organizations. REV. BASILIO FRESNO. O.S.A. Two hundred thlrty-oi ht INTERNATIONAL RELATION SOCIETY WITH a small but actively interested membership, the Inter- national Relations Society enjoyed the second successful year of its existence. The group was organized in September of last year by Karel F. Ficek. former professor of economics. With the resignation of Mr. Ficek from the faculty board, however, the organization was faced with the problem of selecting a new moderator. The vacancy was filled by Rev. Joseph C. Bartley. O.S.A.. dean of the School of Commerce and Finance. Good fortune was with the society, for both Fr. Bartley’s interest in current events, and his knowledge of international affairs acted as capable and efficient guides for these enterprising young ambassadors. In the beginning of the yoar problems of general inter- national concern formed the topics of discussion and informal debate. Such matters as Hitlerism in Germany, the recognition of Soviet Russia by the United States and disarmament were thor- oughly argued, and definite stands were taken upon them. The major event upon the society's calendar, however, was the Intercollegiate Model League of Nations Assembly, which was held at Bucknell University. This year’s convention was attended by twenty-four different colleges and universities, each representing the views of a member nation of the League of Nations. Villanova was chosen to represent Canada. The representative diplomats were: Raymond J. Harter, head of the delegation, Charles P. Goggi. Robert A. Geist, Joseph Arthur and Rafael Martinez-Alvarez. Once definite notification had been received of this assignment, the functions of the society were turned over completely to studying Canada's position in world affairs, and acquiring a genuine Canadian viewpoint. In particular, the problems which were thrashed out were the recognition of the new state of Manchuokuo by the nations of the world, the establishment of a permanent minorities commission by the League of Nations and the revision of present international treaties. A representa- tive Canadian attitude on each of these problems had to be conformed with in all the discussions of the model league assembly. Throughout the two years of its existence the organization certainly has made remarkable progress. Its continued growth should be the concern of every student interested in the welfare of the college. RATMONO J. HARTER PNiMmI Two hundred fhirty-nino VARSITY V CLUB President........

STUHLOREHER FOR the wearers of her covetec emblem Villanova has formed an organization to bring her deserving athletes into closer con- tact with each other. This club is composed of those who have carried the brunt of Villanova's burden on the field of sport, those who havo givon their untiring efforts to raise Villanova to a height that previously had not been reached in the realm of her collegiate sport history. During the year, this club has undergone an extensive reorganization. Among its new activities, it was proposed to hold a dance, which in later years was to be known as the Varsity V Club Dance.—but due to the arrange- ment of the social calendar by the school authorities at the commencement of the year, it was declared impossible to hold the dance this year. The wearers of the wedge, as they had done last year, joined with the Spiked Shoe Club to form the Turf and Tinsel Club, producing the clever musical comedy, Let's Go Places. Today the club is composed of our great athletes, those who have carried the burden of Villa- nova's battles on the athletic field, and is a strong factor in a strong and united Villanova. The mem- bers of this organization, alone, are indeed aware of what Villanova should mean to her students, for it is they who have battled and defended her against those who would contend with her tor athletic fame. To those who havo so ardently striven for Villanova on the field of sport we devote this page, and may they everlastingly display the color of their Alma Mater. H. HURLEY T. O OONNELL I UIIAUCt hrih.

DONALD REDINGTON Vi e-Pr tid«nt.......................FRANCIS BERGER Secretary.........................WILLIAM McGRAW Trttiu't'. • ■ JAMES J. GALLAGHER ONE of the oldest active clubs on the campus is the Wilices- Barro organization from up-state Pennsylvania. In its twelve years of existence the popularity of this association has been wide-spread, and today within its membership aro numbered a representative body of men famous in campus circles. Begun as a fraternal organization to promote mutual good will and friendship among students from the environs of Wilkes Barre, the scope of its purpose has been extended until the social functions of this popular group are eagerly looked forward to. not only on the campus, but all over the coal region district. Annually it has been the custom of this body to sponsor a dance following the traditional Villa- nova-Bucknell gridiron clash. Because of a change in schedule, necessitating the playing at Viilanova. the dance was not held this year. However, both from a social and financial viewpoint the loss was more than atoned for at the annual Christmas danco. On December 25. in the luxurious Mirror Ballroom of the Sterling Hotel at Wilkes-Barre, the association held its eleventh annual yuletide function. Much favorable commont was voiced over the melodies rendered by Will Kearney and his society orchestra. The climax of the society's social season was reached on the occasion of the fifth annual Easter dance at the Hotel Redington. on Saturday. March 31. Once again Will Kearney furnished the music and. as usual, he met the demand for the unusual in music and entertainment by his inimitable style of rendering modern tunes. The dance was preceded by a dinner which was open only to club members and their partners. During the course of the dinner gold keys were given to the senior members of the organization as mementos of the club's appreciation for their loyal services in the past. A short speech was delivered by the Rev. James Donneilon. O.S.A.. in the absence of Rev. Bernard McConville. O.S.A.. tho club's moderator. The following senior members were the recipients of keys: Donald Redington. president; Franc's Kelly. James O'Connell. William McGraw. James Gallagher and Francis Berger. 0 ON AID F.

EUGENE HARTNETT VIc -Pr� i d nt..................................................JOSEPH BASTI AN Secretary............................ . DOMINIC MAURO TfMiurer.................................................... JOSEPH A. HOENIG COMPRISED of students living in the vicinity of the capital of the Empire State, this organization, since its inception in 1931. has increased rapidly both in numbers and campus prestige. Carrying out the purpose of its organization—to promote social activity for its members, and to make the name of Villanova better known around the capital district of New York—social functions are conducted during the Christmas and Easter recesses. This year due to financial conditions, plans for an Easter affair were dropped but the dance which was held during the Christmas holidays proved to be the most successful since the club's inauguration. Combined with the Albany Clubs of Fordnam University and Manhattan College, a formal dinner dance was held on the Twenty-eighth of December in the Crystal Ballroom of the Hotel Governor Clinton in Albany. Over two hundred couples danced to the melodious syncopations of Emerson Gill and his well-known broadcasting orchestra and made the affair one of the most successful held in this district during the holiday season. To Eugene A. Hartnett, who guided the destinies of the organization this year, is due much of the credit for making it one of the most successful in the club's history. Joseph A. Hoenig also must be commended for nis initiative and untiring labors expended as Chairman of the Christmas Dance, as well as each individual member without whose support this year's program could not have met with such wonderful success.

O.S.A. THE club continued with its third year of great activity. On December 2nd. it held the Rutgers Victory Dance at tho Winfield Scott Hotel. Elizabeth. N. J. A goneral spirit of gay rejoicing filled the main ballroom of the hotel as both students and alumni celebrated the thrilling 18-13 victory over Rutgers at the second annual Thanksgiving Dance. Many couples from all parts of tho East attended the function. All left the dance proclaiming it to be easily the greatest social success of the club thus far. and also ranking it among the best dances held off the campus in recent years. The committee in charge of the dance was composed of Raymond J. Harter. Chairman: Harold 6. McGrath, Joseph Carroll. Joseph McKenna. John Butler. Robert Burke, Joseph Arthur and Arthur Hart. Music for the occasion was rendered by Den Fat Waters, whose harmonious renditions and original adaptations immediately met with the warm approval of the revelers. The second annual Easter Dance climaxed the club's outside activities. It was held in the ballroom of the Elkton Hotel, formerly the Newark Elks Club, on the evening of April 2. This ballroom was centrally located and it was easily the best location the dub has had tor any of its dances. The music was furnished by the popular Bob Iven's Ambassadors. The committee in charge of this affair con- sisted of Thomas Delaney. Chairman: Raymond J. Harter, John Butler. John Erbeck, Daniel Harkins. Frank Connell. Jemos Migliore. John Scelore. Josoph McCabe and John Torpey. Through the club's commendable outside activities, the untiring efforts of Fr. Brown. O.S.A., moderator, and of the retiring president, Thomas F.

BEHOLD the representatives of the Nutmeg State matriculating at Villanova. Organized two years ago. when the number of students coming from this section greatly increased and tho advantages of organizing were realized, it has progressed rapidly in talcing its place among the leading campus groups. Retaining the enviable position attained by last year's members provoked a weighty problem for this year's organization but they met the challenge and recorded perhaps the most successful year in the club's young history. Continuing the social program inaugurated last year, a dinner dance was held during the Christ- mas recess which met with unexpected success and surpassed all previous functions both socially and financially. To the members of this year's group belongs the highest of praise. Especially commendable was the work of William Sirica, president. His inspiring leadership and initiative aided greatly in gaining the co-operation which marked the successful completion of this year's program. LAWRENCE CLUB President.....................................................JOHN DERBY Vice-President.......................................................LOUIS DANGELO Secretary..........................................................RICHARD MORRISSEY Treasurer...................... ...........................JAMES MURPHY Moderator.....................................REV. JOHN T. McCALL. O.SA. COMPOSED of students hailing from Lawrence and surrounding small towns, this club has completed the thirteenth year of its enviable history. Under the leadership of John Derby, President. Ihe social program inaugurated a few years ago was successfully continued. It was during the Christmas holidays that the club conducted its annual dance. Though the boys spoke of it as one of the most stormy evenings ever experienced in the world's largest small city, nevertheless this affair was a brilliant social success. Mr. James Murphy, the Chair- man and his assisting committeemen, were highly commended for their untiring efforts and novel man- ner in which they conducted this affair. Though handicapped by financial deficiencies, the members have endeavored with great success to continue the high standard set by this club and often with much personal sacrifice. Thoy were groatly aided in all their undertakings by the Rev. John T. McCall. O.S.A., moderator, and to him and the officers is due much credit for their efforts in carrying on the splendid work for which this club has always beon noted, in the interest of Villanova. DAY HOP CLUB I N FORMER years It was difficult to persuade the Day-Hops to take part in any campus activities. I In order to stimulate their interost in those affairs, it was decided by the members of the athletic board to institute them into a society, the members of which would take part in the intra-mural games. Accordingly Rev. Edward B. McKee. O.S.A., was appointed as Moderator. He selected two members from each school on the campus. It was their duty to circulate among the day students and stimulate interest in campus functions. They ware also to see that these men were represented by a team in all intra-mural activities. As a result the teams representing the Day-Hops have shown a remarkable improvement and more interost in all activities has been displayed. Father McKee and his prefects are to be congratu- lated for their fine work. Two hundred forty-three DRAMA AMD MUSK VILLANOVA LITERARY SOCIETY THIS outstanding society was formed five years ago when the Belle Masque Players and the Beta Gamma Debaters merged for mutual benefit. Since that time both chapters have dona ex- ceptionally clever and laudatory work under the capable direction of Professor Joseph T. Jonas, the club’s moderator. During this past year the enrollment has increased to the extent that it is now one of the largest organizations on the campus. The society has joined the Intercollegiate Debating League and the Inter- collegiate Dramatic Alliance, and has admirably acquitted itself in all the contests sponsored by these organizations. On April fifth, the society held its first annual dinner dance at the Hotel Pierre with unusual success. The committee in charge of the affair consisted of William Doyle, Chairman: Edward Manlon. and Peter Paul Kerr, all of whom did commendable work and were given a vote of thanks by the organization. BELLE MASQUE CHAPTER The activities of this chapter have been unusually interesting this year. The policy of giving a group of sketches or one act plays after their regular fortnignriy busi- ness meeting was introduced with exceptional success. These plays created opportunities for new members to gain experience in the art of acting and expression. Several original pieces by various older members were also presented with much favor. During the year several lectures were delivered by Professor Joseph T. Jonas on stage construction, lighting, make-up and costuming. A representative of the Gaelic Arts Club also addressed the society on tho world-famous Abbey Players. Toward the close of the year a group of one-act plays was given both on the campus and at several other places in Philadelphia with considerable artistic and financial success. The main event of the club was its presentation of The Glorious Martyr in the Inter-collegiate Dramatic Alliance contest. The play dealt with the incident in the life of Lord Byron, the famous English poet, when he was confronted by Count Guiccioli. the husband of the woman he loved. The leading role, that of the Count, was capably handled by William F. J. Zeil, whose ability to interpret character parts is too well- known to need mention here. George Malhame gave the role of Lord Byron a finish and polish that left little to be desired. Peter Paul Kerr, playing the role of Giusseppe, and Joseph Carroll, that of Fletcher, performed their parts with great credit. It was produced at St. Joseph’s College on May 4. WILLIAM f.

It was a great tribute to Professor Jonas, since it was solely by his efforts and capable direction that such success was possible. BETA GAMMA CHAPTER During the latter part of last year the Beta Gamma chapter joined the Intercollegiate Debating League, an organization formed by the various colleges in and about Philadelphia, for the purpose of arousing a greater interest in forensic encounter. In addition to the sories of debates sponsored by this leaguo. the society met twelve other opponents during the winter season. An exhibition debate was given in Trenton before an audience of several hundred with brilliant success and indicated that a return engagement would be given next year. Several Freshman debates wore arrangod and conducted under the management of Gerard Racine, freshmen debate manager. Unfortunately, the organization was somewhat handicapped this year by a lack of material due to the graduation of several of its foremost mon last Juno, but as the season advanced, many of the members gave evidence of talent and forensic skill, and seemed lacking only in experience. The varsity team, especially, did fine work: its members wore Robert Bouson, Frank Bigley, Peter Kerr. Charles Goggi. Harold McGrath, and John Lyons. It is certain that next year these men will be more successful than ever, since they will have the great advantage of experience. In conclusion, the society as a whole wishes to take this opportunity to thank Professor Jonas for his splendid co-operation and help, without which the organization could do little. HOF. JOSEPH I.

The success of their first production, Look Who's Here brought forth such acclaim and praise from all quarters, that it was decided a musical show should be retained as an annual feature of this group. Again, under the able guidance of Rev. Bernard T. McConville O.S.A., moderator of the organization, and itv. •ERHARo M. MtcoNviiLE. their sponsor, Harry A. Stuhledreher. plans were set forth Mod � to make this musical comedy a better production from both comedy and financial viewpoints. The services of Edward A. Keough, a skillful director and leader, who was formerly affiliated with George M. Cohan, and Miss Helen B. Pfaff, were engaged. Under their direction, the members of the cast were selected and sent through many long rehearsals, which was quite evident from the manner in which the performance was presented. This year’s enactment, featured the rumpus of pirates, the roar of politics, and the turmoil of a revolution, presented against a background of a palmy tropical island. Again this show, as its predecessor, brought forth the highest of praise. The presenta- tion of such a number as the Scarletina Rash Ballet, featuring Villanova's athletes clad as chorus mols in pink neglige, swaying to the melodies of such tunes as Glow Worm, My Tropical Baby. fairly broughtthe audiences into the aisles from laughter. This enthusiastic reception of the audience made it a certainty that productions of such a type will be an annual feature. This year the musical accompaniments were supplied by the Villanovans. under the Two hundred forty-oight direction of Paul D. Teel, and were exceptionally well adminis- tered. The production glim- mered with many of the out- standing tunes of the day. The entire cast was com- posed of members of the Ver- ity Club and among its stars appeared the deaf and dumb drummer of the Military band of the Republic of Ovaltine. impersonated by Whitey Ran- dour, star halfback and captain of the football team. The spe- cialty dances featured Joseph Bastian and Charles Miller. The witty humor and comedy was supplied by Charles McGee and Joseph Fitzhenry in the roles of the Minister of War and Secretary of State respectively. Acting honors in both the roles of males and females were taken by Arthur Noble, James Carr, Anthony de Cicco, John Chap- pel, George Gartland, William O'Prey and Edward Manion. The vocals were excep- tionally well rendered and the featured parts were sung by George Kennedy, Daniel Jarvis, Lawrence Reilly, and Arthur Noble. The most entertaining and humorous part of the show was the fine piece of work done by the fastidious chorines, featuring Carroll Cook, William Farris, William Grimberg. Frank Foster, William Mulligan. Bernard Lee, Nick Kotys, Carl Hickey, Arthur Hart, Leon Bienkowski, William Fath, Henry Morin. Gerald Kunz, Joseph Cavaliere, Richard Foote, Abe Ulitsky, Glen Robin- son, Paul Williams. Fred Myers, William McDonald, Charles Decker, Joseph McCabe, Theodore Oshbahr, Robert Guinee. and John Buke. The achievements of this young organization have written a bright page in the annals of dramatic endeavor in the college. To them and their entire staff is due the highest praise for their zeal and untiring efforts in placing the name of Villanova high in the dramatic collegiate world. Two hundred forty-nine THE BAND BLENDED with the seriousness of important duties is a spirit of gayety and color which makes college life so happy and memorable. From the daily grind of studies, the college student finds many outlets which leave happy memories of pleasant years of Villanova. Perhaps the most colorful of these extra-curricular bodies is the college band. What is more colorful, what is more gay than to watch the grand march down the field between the halves of a thrilling football game? Flags waving in the soft breezes, the fifty brilliantly uniformed young men wheeling about the chalked gridiron with mili- tary precision, the blare of horns and the mightly roll of the drums resounding in your ear—surely this is a spectacle which thrills the hearts of everyone in the solid walls of humanity lining the banked tiers of the stadium. However, playing in the band meant work. Several times a week the musicians had to sacrifice hours of their spare time in order to practice the drills and songs. More- over, at the games, while the general fan could devote all his attention to enjoying the spectacle, it was the duty of these young men to supply a great deal of the gayety and color. To those who devoted so much of their time for the success of this organization, full credit is due. Especially does Mr. Paul D. Tell, the energetic director, deserve full praise. For much of the ability of the college band is he responsible. To him, and to every man who played in the band, Villanova extends its tribute. Top Row—lop t. Murphy. Chepple, Sleett, Breeoen.

Adding to their glories of former years in an impressive fashion, this group has surpassed all previous combinations in the excellence of their musical products. Under the direction of Paul J. Teel. Musical Director of the College, the band got down to brass instruments early in the first semester. Joseph Mele, an outstand- ing musician of the Science School, was chosen as the leader. Joe plays a violin as well as handling the vocal situations of the musical scores. As a leader, Joe ranks on a par with the former great leaders that this organization has had. His special arrangements of various novelty numbers, and of Villanova songs, will long be remembered by all who were fortunate enough to be present at any of the numerous functions at which the Villanovans held sway. Their captivating melodies enlivened and assured the success in a musical manner of many a campus affair.. Among the various dances at which the Villanovans poured forth their musical gifts were: The L. K. D. Spring Hop; The Owl Hop; Blue Blazer Ball; Sophomore Co- tillion; Alumni Dance; and the Augustinian Guild Card Party and Dance. The annual Turf and Tinsel musical comedy, Let's Go Places, presented the Villanovans as mu- sical accompanists. The success of the various campus functions held throughout the year speaks well for the ability of Villanova's own musicians. To Mr. Paul J. Teel and Joseph Mele the committees of the dances owe a debt of gratitude for their splendid work. SOCIAL SENIOR BALL DONALD f M3INGION Chairman CHANGES have come over me. Hands of eager students have covered my nakedness with gala dress. A cloak of many colors hangs about me. covering what some call my ugly framowork. I am beautiful. I am awake. I feel that I am fit to entertain the guests who will soon visit me. Need I be told that it is February ninth, the night of the Belle Air Ball? The night is cold, the wind howls o'erhead and a blanket of snow enshrouds the ground. As the cold breezes beat against my sides, a sudden fear grips me. Will this weather keep those who are to be my guests away? Eight o’clock the clock chimes, two more hours of waiting for the verdict. Time slowly but certainly passes as it always does. It draws near the appointed hour; is it the musicians who are approaching? It is. for I hear the name of Enoch Light mentioned. And there is one to rival my beauty, it seems her name is Mary Danis—she sings with the orchestra. My aides havo come down to help me make a success of my most important party of the year. I see them stationed at the doors at their appointed tasks. And now there are several couples arriving together, the vanguard of many more to come. As these couples arrive, the member of the fairer sex is handed a favor so that they'll never forget mv party. More and more come until the floor is crowded with dancers. The rainbow of colors of the guests contrast admirably with the formal black of the college students. The music lends its enchentment to an already colorful scene. The time passes almost too soon for it is nearly time for Tom McFoeley. Senior Class president, and Don Redington. Chairman, who did yooman ork in completing the arrangements, to call a halt to the festivities. The couples are claiming their wraps and wending their way homeward. I feel that my dance was a distinctive success. I'm sure that I'l never forget, nor will those who attended it forget, the 1934 Belle Air Ball. Hina G«ll«gS� r. Kmn . Derby. Cerroll S«V d—C'tig.

A week of never-to-be-forgotten activities for the members of the Junior class. Solemn high mass in the college chapel on Monday morning marked the opening of the festivities, which were climaxed on Friday evening, in a blaze of glory, by the annual promenade. Immediately following the mass a special communion breakfast was enjoyed by all the members of the class. The traditional flag raising and tree planting exercises, held in front of the new monastery building, climaxed the activities of the morning. Monday afternoon was dedicated to the mothers of the members of the class, and appropriately named Mother's Day. A tour of the campus, and of the labora- tories in Mendel Hall, followed by the observation of some scientific experiments performed by members of the Science school, comprised the first part of the program. Later, when the entourage visited the qymnasium, they were entertained by members of the cast of the Turf and Tinsel Club's annual play produced the week previous. Lawrence Reilly and Arthur Noble entertained the group with some popular songs and old Irish ballads. Immediately following, two of the novelty dances from the play, featuring our athletes clad as dainty chorines, were presented. Both the songs and the dances were greatly appreciated by the audience, as was manifest by the applause that followed. After this form of entertainment, the group witnessed an exhibition swimming meet in the college pool, which was conducted under the direction of Martin Gill, coach of swimming and professor of English. The mothers and the dads assembled in the amphitheatre where they witnessed the picture. Life at Villanova. Following the picture they were addressed by the Rev. Fr. Stanford, O.S.A., president of the college. At the conclusion of the address all retired to the priest's dining hall where a delightfully prepared repast was enjoyed. The committee for the mother’s day program is to be congratulated for their fine tribute, which will undoubtedly be remembered forever by all the parents of the members of the class. The remaining afternoons of Junior week were devoted entirely to sporting events. On Tuesday and Friday there were varsity baseball games with Albright college and Temple University respectively; Wednesday afternoon, a track meet with Rider Col- lege; Thursday a baseball game between the Seniors and the Juniors, and the intra- mural tennis tournaments were held. The traditional Blazer ball on Thursday evening and the Junior Prom on Friday brought the week's activities to a close. The memories of the week's events will long remain in the minds of all the Juniors, and cherished as the happiest ones of their college lives. The committee in charge of the events, under John Butler, deserve the highest commendation for their fine work in making Junior week of '34 the most suc- cessful ever. Two hundred fifty-fiv JUNIOR PROMENADE THE man in the moon struck up a rollicking tune, and all the planets joined in. Venus smiled at Vulcan, who whistled such notes, as. warbled to the string, drew a smile from Pluto instead of iron tears. Prom night on the campus, and the vernal season put forth its best in keeping with the spirit of that long awaited, never-to-be-forgotten, event. The social event of the season at Villanova. the traditional Junior prom, far surpassed any of its predecessors both in the elaborateness and in the novelty of its presentation. The night club atmosphore with the air of New York's swankiest. even to the canvas canopy at the entrance, provided the setting for the ovening's entertainment of the devotees of the light fantastic. Clustered around tables amidst beautiful palms and flowers, sumptuously gowned women and jauntily dressed men listened to delightful, ethereal melodies of one of the foremost radio orchestras. Jagues Renard's. His soft music and arrangements of Villanova's own songs will long remain a delight- ful memory. Each young lady was the recipient of a souvenir of this memorable occasion, unlike ony other previously given. It consisted of a combination travelling and desk set eversharp pencil mounted on a marble base enscribed with the words Villanova Junior Prom 1934. A scotty dog sat opposite the pen holder and between the two was inserted the favor program of dances and entertainment for the evening.

CowHIold Two hundrod fifty-ui BLAZER BALL THE Juniors step out, might well be the sentiment attached to this riot of color. Novelty, the keynote of Junior week, was exemplified by the very uniqueness and colorfulness of the opening dance. The Blazer Ball, according to tradition, annually marks the first official appearance of the Junior blazers on the campus. The colors of our Alma Mater, blue and white, intermingled with the various colored gowns of the young ladies presented a bazaar attraction never equalled heretofore on the campus. The music for the evening was presented by Joe Mele and his famous Villa- novans” at their best. Their strains of hauntinq melod:e$ sent many a couple into en- raptured bliss as they glided over the glazed floor. Many entertaining novelties and songs added an extra note of keen enjoyment to the affair. The decorations of our palace of athletics were an innovation of the class of thirty-five. In place of the customary flat ceiling there rose a peaked effect, tastefully decorated with college and class colors. Palms and ferns added to the general beauty of the scene. The Blazer ball provided a fitting overture to the Junior prom to take place on the following night. Proud were all the Juniors now officially so. Their blue and white blazers provided them with a note of recoonition among the underaraduates as the men ready to move into the exalted position of the members of the Senior class, when they so reluctantly must leave us. The members of the blazer committee, and the members of the ball committee are to be congratu'ated for their fine work in making this affair such an outstanding success.

VioUlM THE SOPHOMORE FROLIC THE annual Sophomore Class Dance was given on Friday evening, October 20, 1933, at the new Villanova College Gym. Dim lights, and gracoful figures, softly gliding to a me!low strain with a purr of glee and genuine enjoyment created the absorbing atmosphere offered to any onlooker. Dan Fat Waters, with his eight rhythmical Danceonians, reviewed the latest dance tunes with more than satifactory results. Intermissions were short, and dancing was plentiful from 9 till I P. M. In spite of the fact that the Sophomore Frolic was put on almost spontaneously, the reward for the vigorous and enthusiastic efforts expended in its behalf by the committeemen, and the class as a whole, was heartily gratifying and successful. More than 200 couples were gathered at the affair as a result of nine days of industrious management. In a great part, the success of the frolic was due to the genuine co-operation received from the Freshman Class. Over half the students of the newly-enrolled group exhibited a praiseworthy amount of spirit by their attendance. Daniel J. Harkins and Joseph Clay, president of the Sophomore Class and chair- man of the frolic respectively, manifested unusual ability in undertaking a task of such responsibility, and carrying it to the end. efficient in every detail. The members and committees of the dance were: Dance Committee. J. Clay, chairman; Arthur Noble, W. Vaughn, J. Malcolm. D. Cragg, J. Downs. T. Kucker, A. Welsh, F. Alfano. A. Zanni, and H. Kornfield: Arrangements and Decorations Committee. J. Braheney. chairman; J. Hallahan, E. Carlin, R. McGrory. and William Monroe: adver- tising committee, J. C. Di Joseph, chairman; H. Poudal and A. Catrombone. Two Hurvdrod fifty-oJgkt OWL HOP VULANOVA'S greatest football victory over Temple University provided the incentive for tho greatest victory dance ever staged on the campus. Sponsored by the Phi Kappa Pi Fraternity, this year's annual Owl Hop reached a new zenith in enthusiastic success. In keeping with the gaiety of the occasion the spacious gymnasium was decorated in a blaze of color. The red and white false ceiling was set off by a galaxy of ferns and flowers placed around the dance floor. An additional note was the distribution of balloons to every couple. Soon broken by the merry-makers, who could not restrain their enthusiasm over the victory, they provided a riot of color while they lasted. To add to the day's surprises was the unusually good music offered by the Villanovans. Sweet dance rhythms intermingled with various numbers brought a round of applause at the conclusion of each dance. Each couple was presented with unique favors and other novelties, which were well received. A white cover on which was embossed the Phi Kappa Pi insignia, adorned the dance program. Although the Temple Owl and the name of the dance are synonymous, they are in no way related to each other. Back in 1919. before Temple and Villanova met on the gridiron, the Villanova engineering fraternity held its annual colorful affa r. Joseph P. Callaghan and his committee doscrve the highest commondation for making this affair the greatest success in the history of the fraternity. L. K. D. SPRING DANCE GAIETY prevailed on the night of April 20, 1934. The first real spring weather of tho yoar sorvcd as an appropriate setting for the annual Spring Hop given by the Lambda Kappa Delta Fraternity. Attracted by the enchantment of a wonderful spring-like night, many couples swayed to the delightful strains of the Villanovons. The orchestra provided the best tunes ever. Their diversified arrangements included many novelties as well as special presentations of Villanova's own songs. Playing from the left side of the gymnasium, instead of from the stage, as is the custom, improved immeas- urably the acoustics. The music could be heard equally well from all sections of the floor. The decorations were distinctive of the L. K. D. Fraternity. The walls were decorated with the banners of the various camDus organizations. A large skull tinted with phosphorous paint, presented a unique and ohastly appearance. It served as a symbol of the fraternity, and was in accordance with the idea that the dance was being sponsored by a Pre-Medical society. Each couple was tho recipient of an attractive souvenir program. It was bound in black suede and bore the fraternity's title in gold printing. Although the dance was not as successful from a financial point of view as was expected, its success socially cannot be denied. Enough praise cannot be extended to Mr. Robert A. Goist and his committee for their splendid co-operation and fine work in making this dance successful. Two hundred fifty-nino RETROSPECTION ILLANOVA opened its ninety - first scholastic year on the feast day of St. Thomas of Villa- nova. September 22, with the cele- bration of Solemn High Mass. The Mass was sung with Rev. Edward V. Stanford, O.S.A., president of the college as cele- brant and Rev. Bernard M. Albers. O.S.A., vice-president, as deacon. In an interest- ing and inspirational talk to the students. Fr. Stanford stated that the motto for the students in the oncoming year should be one similar to the slogan adopted by the National Recovery Administration, We Do Our Part. It was on the same day that the majority of the students learned with the deepest regret of the death of Charles A. McGeehan, one of the most prominent alumni of the college and coach of the college baseball team. Changes in the ar- rangement of the pie shoppe and the abolishment of the traditional Vigilance committee were the most outstanding im- provements noted by the returning stu- dents. Work had progressed rapidly on the construction of the new Monastery end there also had been renovations made on the campus itself. With the Buck- nell-Villanova foot- ball game, there was held the annual homecoming day for the Alumni. The day was fine, the crowd was large, the team in tip-top shape, but the final score showed the Wildcats to be on the short end. A new club. The Day Hops Club, was organized under the leadership of Rev. Edward B. McKee, O.S.A., to unite the commuters into some sort of an organized group. The cornerstone for the new monastery was laid on October 19, with Very Rev. Joseph A. Hickey, D.D., O.S.A., officiat- ing, and with Very Rev. Mortimer Sullivan, O.S.A., assisting. It was at this time that it was disclosed that there were students from 16 different states in the college. The annual Sophomore Frolic was held on October 22, in the college gym. the open- ing event of the year's social season. Armistice day, November I I, was a day of rejoicing to most of the world, but to the Frosh it was a day of ignominious de- feat, for it was on that day that the annual SOLEMN HIGH MASS OPENING SCHOOL TERM Two hundred ti«� y-thr«o SOPH-FROSH TUG-O-WAR Soph-Frosh field day was held. The feature event of the contest was the pig-chasing contest between the two classes, an event long to be remembered by those who witnessed it. The Junior class, displaying a fine spirit, conducted a campaign to insure the success of Junior week. The results of this campaign were far above expectations. A large number of students made the trip to Boston for the annual Boston College football game, a game which saw Villa- nova defeated 9-0. The next im- portant football game was the season's highlight, the one in which Villanova defeated Temple 24-0. Among the students at the College, it was discovered that one, Carmen Giordano, was a composer of no mean merit. He wrote two songs about the col- lege, one a march and the other a waltz, both of which were given national publicity by being broadcast over nation- wide radio hookups. On the evening of December 14, the Philadelphia club of the Villanova Alumni Association gave the members of the gridiron team a banquet in Philadelphia. An event of wide interest was the concert of the Vienna Choir Boys given in the auditorium of the Commerce and Finance building December 16. With the close of the football season it was shown that the team had managed to garner seven wins and several surprise defeats. The tie score Ursinus turned in proved to be the real upset of the season. With the annual Christmas vacation the student body migrated to their respective homes for a three-week vacation. During the vacation several of the college clubs held dances in their home cities, dances which were well attended by both present and past students of the college. It was during the Christmas recess that our chap- lain, Rev. Joseph F. O'Malley, O.S.A.. was transferred, the Rev. Charles E. Brown succeeding him. The award for distinguished service to the College during the past year was given to J. Stanley Smith, '93, at a banquet of the Philadel- phia Alumni. The Mendel medal, awarded annually by the College to a Catholic for distinguished service to science, was given to Abbe George Lemaitre. eminent Bel- gian priest-scientist, for his work on the theory of relativity. The board of Governors of the Villa- nova Alumni Association an- nounced a series of three lectures to be delivered by Frs. Dough- erty, Bartley, and Sparrow. O.S.A., in the Commerce and Finance Auditorium. Dancing following the spring basketball games was an innovation that was received with warmth by the student body. The annual mid-year retreat was conducted by Frs. McLeod and Ronan. O.S.A., end- ing with communion and breakfast on February I. The traditional Senior Ball was held in the gymnasium February 9, with Enoch Light and his Orchestra furnishing the melodies. The Lenten season opened with services in the College chapel and a sermon by Fr. Coan, O.S.A. On the morning of February 27, the first Villanova Merit Awards were pre- sented to ninety students who, in the opin- ion of the administration, had distin- guished themselves in campus activities. The first boxing match held in the new gymnasium saw Temple defeat the Cat boxers in the first win of the season for Temple. A swimming team was formed to engage in intercollegiate competition. The Holy Name Society, after a three year period of inactivity, was reorganized by Fr. Brown with weekly meetings and a T o kundrod � iity-fo«ir monthly Communion breakfast to be held in the College refectory. Student employment relief work was begun at Villanova April I under the sponsorship of the Civil Works Administration. Approximately 65 stu- dents were aided by this plan in reducing their col- lege bills. Throughout the entire year various intra- mural sports were en- gaged in by a large num- ber of students, the vari- ous halls and groups each having representative teams. College debaters enjoyed a fruitful season, with trips to other col- leges for competition as well as home contests to engage their attention. The retiring members of the staff of the Villanovan were tendered a banquet by the College at which time keys were awarded to the Seniors. The card party and dance held by the Augustinian Guild attracted over 1200 people. The dance of the Alumni Association, featuring Joe Mele and his midshipmen, was well at- tended. Formal occupation of the new Monastery, built at a cost of $250,000. took place on April 23. The annual Turf and Tinsel Club show, Let's Go Places, was given in the gym, three nights, April 26, 27, 28, to crowded houses, and the Little Glo - Worm number proved the real mirth- maker of the evening. Junior Week opened on April 29 with the flag raising and ivy planting formalities and an after- noon devoted to the mothers of the college students. Following a va- ried program, a buffet luncheon was served in the dining hall. Extensive activities went to make up the remainder of the week, including dances, athletic events, and other class activities. The college year of 1933-34 was one of the best in the 91 years of a college that has always had a multitude of activities. Those students in Villanova during the year, particularly the Seniors, will hold it and cherish it in their memories for years to come. What the future holds in store, time alone will tell.

It is something attained by thought and act. Excellence in Annual is attained. There is something a book has, or docs not have—and the “ability to know what to do to make a book different and distinctive is something you cannot buy indiscriminately at any price.
