OPYRlGHT Thomas f Kennedy, jr. mk . • THOMAS i FLAHERTY, Business Manager 1937 BELLE F 10 M I UD I y 3 ODR YEARS AGO, craving knowledge and truth, we turned our steps to- ward the hallowed grounds and large stone structures of Villanova. Here we crammed our minds with facts until our eyes and heads ached. We exper- ienced the pain of uncertainty, the chill of despair, the tinge of self-disgust at the completion of a day which leaves nothing accomplished, the desperateness of a tidal- wave of knowledge. But the scales have been balanced with moments of joy in a task well done, of happiness with companions, and of peace in the solitude of our own minds. Resumes, highlights and glimpses of these four years spent under the guidance of those wiser than us are presented here in the hope that they will, in the future, call back to us scenes which now are so vivid. DHE DEDICATION of a book involves the mutual exchange of honors. The author offers his best to the one he esteems. The dedicatee adds to the prestige of the volume bg reason of his position, his name and personality. With a deep sense of justice and gratitude we, the Class of 1937, dedicate this fifteenth volume of the Belle Air as a tribute to Reverend Joseph C. Bartleg, O.S.A., Ph.D., on the occasion of the fifteenth anniversarg of his Deanship, in recognition of his tireless industry, great logaltg and enduring devotion to Villanova College. E DI C RTIO N Bock of successful in- dustries stand execu- tives, self-reliant ond prepared. IJEVEREND JOSEPH C. BARTLEY, O.S.A., Ph.D., wos born in Lawrence, Massa- chusetts, May 23, 1893. He was received into the Augustinion Order June 20, 1912, ond was ordained priest June 8, 1919. He received his A.B. from Villanova in 1916 and his M.A. in 1919; and his Ph.D. from Catholic University of America in 1922. At the present Father Bartley is Faculty Co-ordinator of the Library, Dean of the Summer and Part-time school and Dean of the Commerce and Finance school. This building was erected in 1931 and houses the executive office and classrooms of the School of Com- merce and Finance. Within the same walls is the auditorium where we attended recitals, lectures, rallies, debates and movies. A COMMUNITY free from the din and clatter of industry... a community of grey stone Gothic buildinys blended with quietness and dignity ... a place where intellectual achievement may flourish ... a place where one thousand men live under the same sky, the same flag... a community where recreation recharges exhausted body and brain cells for the coming day's work.

It is simply a suburban community, settled in one of the mellow- est and most beautiful countrysides in America, only twelve miles west of Philadelphia. There is, however, the College, a community of its own spread upon the hills along Lancaster Pike. Situated 465 feet above tidewater in the midst of a quiet residential area, Villanova is a beehive of activity where more than ten hundred men participate in the many and varied events of I j college life, and yet retain the seclusion so necessary to concentration and study. It is in this suburban . f area that all the restraints of city life may be cast j u aside and where the pursuit of knowldge becomes = a pleasure. Transportation has lavished its facilities upon ! 2 Villanova The Pennsylvania Railroad station is . located on the north side of the campus while the I Philadelphia and Western, a high-speed trolley line, £ pierces the south side. The Lincoln Highway, the | main artery of motor car travel between the J Atlantic and Pacific, traverses the campus, forming ’ ■ a dividing line which separates the campus proper from the section given over to parking space for students' cars and those of spectators at the various athletic contests. St. Auguitinc—(ound«f of the Augwtinian Order. Vtllonovo in 1W2. Villanovo College was founded by the Augustin- ian Fathers in 1842, to offer to young men an opportunity of receiving a thorough, liberal educa- tion— an education which would develop all the faculties of soul as well as of body, and would find its expression in a clear-thinking, right-acting Christian gentleman. In accordance with this principle, Villanova's progress and success in the educational world has been attained through the co-operation between the Board of Trustees and the Administrative Council The Board of Trustees consisting of five clergy and two laymen, supervise the management, direction and government of the College. They appoint a president and faculty. The Administrative Council is composed of the President, Vice-President, Proc- urator, Chaplain, Librarian, Registrar and the Dean of each school. This Council directs the educa- tional, religious and social policies of the institution With the up-swing in business, college enroll- ments have taken a sudden increase. This year Villanova had her enrollment raised 15 percent, over that of last year's, and the faculty enrollment touched a new high with an increase of 33 1 3 percent, bringing the total to sixty members. However, the policy of personal and intimate relationship between students and professors, is not altered by this sudden increase. The famous twin towers of the College Chcpcl.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt entered into the costliest legislation ever written into the annals of this country . . . that my attention was focused sharply upon the need of more educa- tion. With the economic and social conditions so stringent in America, I could see only one remedy —a college education. How well I can recall the gleams and glooms that dart across the schoolboy's brain when his ideals send him into a whirlwind to select a college with high scholastic rating, historic buildings and shaded walks, top ranking athletic teams, and a social program of gaiety to blend recreation with study. What matters it if I can't enjoy fraternity life, or go tea dancing with Betty Coed ... so long as I can rub shoulder to shoulder with real Leo f. Brown, Ph.O.

With pen in hand my correspondence began to flood offices of college registrars in the East I had to have a catalogue and trace historical back- ground . . . location . . . courses given . . . campus, buildings and equipment. After a few weeks the morning moil brought replies bound in all colors ond packed full of information . . becoming acquainted with o new world. It was late one Friday evening in Autumn, while I was scanning the poges of various cata- logues, that my attention was drawn to the radio. The ether waves were vibrating with a group of mole voices singing Softly at Nightfall When Moonlight Comes Stealing —ah, that stole my heart away, and The World Is Waiting For the Sunrise was positively chill-provoking . . . then a sudden pause . . .

I just examined their catalogue . that is the institution located in a residential area twelve miles west of Philadelphia . . . conducted by the Augustinian Fathers . . . with a campus of one hundred and sixty acres . . . buildings stretched upon a hill ... a small college with ideal conditions. With such compelling forces my intellectual powers began to compare the qualities of this insti- tution with the standards I had established for a selection. Point by point the scale seemed to bal- ance in favor of the Main Line institution, but still I must not make rash decisions. Let's see, there's Joe Kelly over on Lincoln Drive, he's a former ViNanovo man. I'll see him and see what he thinks of the place. More sidelights and real facts blended with personal experiences brought a new light to this numbskull of mine. Months rolled by like the blue clouds above, before I realized I was entering th doors of Villa- nova No sooner did I arrive at this scene of learn- ing, kissed Mother and Dad goodbye, than I was led into the miscellaneous group of flesh and blood, walked through an interminable number of offices until my legs ached, sent into the complexity of regisration and payline subsequent to a rigorous physical examination.

Driteoll, B.S. in C.E. Instructor, Mothematict and Physics Toke more readings Isle, I walked into several traps during the day and was obliged to carry trunks, chairs, bureaus and lamps for upperclassmen. Slowly the smoke cleared away and I turned my steps toward the Yearlings quarters in Mendel Hall. Fatigued, of course, but I guess Freshmen are not supposed to tire, and so with the few ounces of energy left I climbed the wooden stairway to the top floor. Here I saw men from all sections of the country unpacking trunks, arranging rooms, plan- ning schedules and sending a few notes to the folks back home. No sooner had I opened the door to my room when I found myself guilty of the same prac- tice. Before I knew it, lunch hour was in full swing . . . doors banging . . . trays crashing . . . aroma from delicacies sweeping the building ... a cafe- teria style . . . but not in the Freshmen's favor . . . upperclassmen retarding Yearling's progress to the coffee counter. After following the doctor's instructions to rest after meals, I decided to tour the campus and get the realistic sketch of Villanova. Prior to my de- parture from the dormitory, I thought it best to inform Reverend Charles P. Brown, OS.A., college chaplain and prefect of our hall, where I would be in case any of the college reporters might be seek- ing an interview. During a conversation I learned Looking for hidden focf . Anthony J. Froync, A.M. Instructor, English “Who volunteers? that the grounds upon which Villanova is situated was formerly the Belle Air estate of John Rudolph, a Philadelphia merchant. The Augustinian Fathers purchased this tract of land in 1842, and the fol- lowing September classes were started in the School of Arts and Philosophy. Little did I know that on March 10, 1848, Governor Francis R. Shunk, of Penn- sylvania, signed the Act of Legislature incorporat- ing The Augustinian College of Villanova in the State of Pennsylvania for the education of persons in the various branches of Science, Literature and Ancient and Modern Languages. The theory that every depression is followed by a period of prosperity greater than before is surely true in the case of Villanova ... as owing to a financial depression, and conditions later re- sultant upon the Civil War, the doors of the college were closed from June, 1857, until September, 1865. However, after re-opening in 1865, the curriculum and faculty were enlarged, and new buildings erected In 1905, a School of Engineering was founded, with courses in Civil, Electrical, and Me- chanical Engineering In 1915, the Pre-Medical School was established. Chemical Engineering was added in 1918, followed in 1922 by a School of Rev. Thomos F. Gilligon, O.S.A., A.M.

With this added knowl- edge tucked away in a corner of my brain, I pro- ceeded on my tour. Mendel Hall, built at the cost of three-quar- ters of a million dollars, was the first grey gothic building to attract my attention. This edifice was destroyed by fire in January, 1928, and rebuilt in 1929. On the first floor there is always a beehive of activity with faculty members visiting the exec- utive offices of the Arts, Science and Engineering departments, students purchasing supplies at the Horold F.

Laboratories for the Schools of Arts, Engineering and Science are on the second, third, and fourth floors. In one section of the basement are workshops for the slide- rule clan, while another section is enlivened by students dropping in for a snack at Louie's Pie- Shop. Strolling along in a carefree attitude, I took a quick glance of the upperclassmen's dormitory stretched along Spring Mill Road, Fedigan Hall, which was built in 1930 ... a few steps and I was perched in the center of a triangle of buildings . . . the Monastery was to the right. I remember read- ing about this building, erected in 1902 only to have the principle of combustion as manifested in iight and heat melt it into ruin in 1932 . . . across the way the oldest building on the campus, Alumni Rev.

On the east side of this building is a gymnasium . . . the spot where Villanova court teams made history, students en- gaged in many social functions, and attended cam- pus rallies. Today students frequent this gymnasium when Reverend Edward 8. McKee, O S.A., or Rev- erend Francis Ludwig, O.S.A, are conducting intra- mural basketball games Completing the rest of the triangle is Saint Rita's Hall, which was built in Thirty-four Chemicol experiment in proce� . 1912. At present this edifice is used by the sem- inarians. Just a few short paces, about the size of one of Reverend John Vrana's, O.S.A., is Austin Hall. Reverend Bernard McConville, O.S.A., coun- sellor in this upperclassmen's abode, gave me the historical background in several minutes when he unveiled clippings showing the erection of the build- ing in 1924. In the east wing of the same building is the college library . . book shelves enclosed with a black iron fence, long tobies in the center of the reading room . . . periodicals on distant shelves . . . desire to haunt the spot vital in the conquest of knowledge really chilled. Hardly had I deported from this location when my eyes focused upon the ivy-covered towers of Saint Mary's Hall. There it was stretched upon a hill bound by the Pennsylvania Railroad on the north side, and Austin Hall on the west side, housing the Administration, dormitory and classrooms, facilities for the young men engaged in the study for the priesthood in the Augustmian Order. Sometimes referred to as Corr Hall, this building was built in 1921. Drifting on to the Commerce and Finance School, the last building on the campus, my ears began to tingle to the tuneful strains of collegiate songs. When I investigated the scene, I found a few students gathered around a Baby Grand in Rev. Edword l Jenkins, O.S.A., PhD.

It was from one of these knowledge chambers that I saw for miles around the beautiful residential section. However, one spot that attracted my immediate interest was the gymnasium and stadium. Soon I was viewing the high, red brick structure, entrances, driveways, windows on all sides, built in 1931, a spacious basketball court . . . balcony having a capacity of eighteen hundred per- manent seats . . . main floor well adapted as an auditorium ... a large stage ... off to the side pool rooms . . . bowling alleys . . . reception rooms . . . locker rooms ... a final glance I see the offices of the athletic department on the balcony.

On my way back to the Dining Hall, I paid a visit to the College Chapel. Its twin towers, visible for miles around, dom- inate the college buildings. With an exterior of seven white marble altars, numerous pews, a circular organ gallery, high ceilings, beautiful statues and historic paintings, it offers an ideal atmosphere for fostering religious welfare.

Soon the giddy preliminary whirl was over and with a faintly perceptible thud, the dull duty of starting to classes began. Themes and assignments began to come due just as regular as the box rent down at the post office. Slowly, my thoughts began to center around the timely subject of grades, for, as Dad points out in his letters, grades are an im- portant part of college life. Five weeks' grades were abysmclly low, but I contented myself with the sus- picion that professors were trying to scare me, but after nine weeks I found out the faculty wasn't jok- ing, after all, and made out an ambitious study schedule and proceeded to dust off the pages and secure sufficient knowledge to place in the first half of my class. The social life of the campus was ushered into full bloom when the Sophomore Cotillon was held in the gymnasium. How well I can recall this event! Three evenings away no prospects of a date . . . preparing for a hard evening of study ... a rap on the door . . . husky voices demanding entrance. Thirty-eight Arthur Cortos-Felicc Mothicu, A.8.

Professor, Religion Let's hove on outline n 1 s i The time has come to dust off textbooks, so forlorn and forgotten, and prepare my mind with the vital information needed to pass the finals. Yesterday and today have taken their way in fun, worry and study, but now—packing, handshak- ing, paying old debts, purchasing a seal or two, returning keys and blankets, a hamburger and coffee at Louie's ' finale, bearding the 1:15. One of the most disheartening aspects of the collegiate scene is the sudden realization that it feels no different to be a Sophomore than it did to be a Freshman, a Freshman of only a summer ago wending his way back to the process of learning. No sooner did I enlist in the fold of upperclassmen than I felt a skein of sophistication following me step by step . . . thinking of the character I would some day be. I was very much elated over the changes that had taken place around the campus. St. Thomas of Villanova Monastery was rebuilt . . . new shrub- bery was spotting the spaces between Mendel and The School of Science w-os established in 1915 to meet the growing demand for a short, spcoolized preparation for Medi- cal and Dentol Schools.

Dcon of th School of Commerce ond ftranee Austin Halls . . . dormitories painted ... the old football field plowed . . . and the library thoroughly remodeled and renovated. The iron bars, stuffed quarters, dusty shelves, dull paint, and antiquated cataloguing systems are but memories. Booking- up to meet today's pent-up demand for quality and tomorrow's promise of wider and more active medium of higher scholarship, a new library plan was incorporated. With this plan came the instal- lation of the Library of Congress System, catalogues, files, reading tables and chairs, reference sections, magazine shelves, and numerous volumes of books. I will have little fear of research work after I am able to operate this congressional system and ram- ble about locating various channels of information It is through Sister M. Borromeo, S.M., Special Librarian, who supervised the installation of this system, that I became efficient in tracing the sources of knowledge. A few exam marks have been recorded in the books before definite plans have been made for the Sophomore Cotillon. Several of the lads in Austin Hall are selected as members of the dance commit- tee, but the best I could do is to join a few asso- ciates in conducting rat-a-tat-tat sessions for the Yearlings. During the w'eek, Freshmen from Alumni and Mendel Halls spend their afternoons clicking their heels and sliding through fox-trot and waltzes in order that they might appear grace- ful in their first nighter. One of the most noteworthy developments dur- ing the year is the members of the Sophomore Class branching out into the numerous extra-curricula activities There is Joe and Harry the white coat- ers writing for the Mendel Bulletin, while Bill and Art divide their free periods studying various prob- lems in controlling and utilizing direct and alter- nating currents for feature articles in the Villanova Engineer. Since Ted and I are pursuing the Art course, the best we can do in the publication line is to gather the latest gossip and sport slants for the Villanovan. Frank, Charlie, Jack and Sid formed R«v.

Forty-four It is obviously impossible in the short spoce of four years to moke the student a specialist in any chosen field of busi- ness endeavor. There exist, therefore, a need for men in the business world who have such o comprehensive point of view os will enoble them to perceive and evalu- ate the forces and factors behind business activities. With this aim in view. The School of Commerce and Finance lays stress on courses in Economics, Money and Bonking, Business Law, ond Account- ing The cultural content of the curricula is sufficient to prepare the student for entrance to Law School. The desire of most students to acquire special training in chosen fields is not denied, however, ond the curriculum pro- vides for limited specialization in: Ac- counting, Brokerage, Insurance, Transpor- tation, Merchandising, ond Journalism. To be numbered among those with whom time has always dealt kindly is, in itself, highly significant, for time alone establishes the true measure of esteem and respect. It seems almost impossible to believe I have progressed to the third year in Villanova College. Little did I realize when I first crossed the threshold of Mendel Hall, I would be able to master Ontology and Cosmology . . . have a reading knowledge of Horace and Juvenal . . . or even be able to mount a platform and address an audience. After the cold winds of March had blown by . . . birds began singing . . . flowers and shrubbery blossomed . . . and the students, especially the Jun- iors began to focus their attention on the period of freedom from the strict scholastic life of college— Junior Week. Clothed in tradition . . . backed by common sense . . . men worked hand in hand to formulate plans for the traditional season.

Jersey Bill formed a ban of campus tailors who v alked the dormitories night offer night to fit the third year men for their tradi- tional collegiate blazers, while committees of five to twenty-five members held numerous meetings to make final arrangements. My financial status was completely unbalanced when I paid for my class ring, assessments, and white blazer. With seventy-five cents remaining, I decided to wire home. However, this was not necessary, as the class had exended an invitation to Mother to be their guest on Mother's Day.

Not much activity until Thursday night when the Juniors and Seniors danced to the melodious strains of the Villanovans at the Blazer Ball. A few winks of sleep and I was preparing for the big event of the week—Junior Prom. A quick shave, shower, walking the hall to locate someone who could bow a tie, phone call, and I was drifitng over the wax boards. Beautiful girls, neatly garbed men, pic- tures, intermissions and another dance makes his- tory.

This is not, of course, because it itself is very old—it is really quite recent—but because it is the latest link in a long chain of connected events in the Augustinion Order's life in America. Indeed it might be soid quite truthfully thot the seminary tradition of Villanova is not merely of the age of America, but that its roots go even deeper, being sunk far down into the monostic soil of Europe and Africo The life of the young friars at Villanova is almost exactly the life of their brethren in Germany, Italy, Ireland and Spoin. It is, too, in all essentials the life lived by their brethren at Pavia in the nineteenth century, ot Munich in the eighteenth century, at Oxford, Paris, Rome in the Middle Ages. Like the Church itself, then, St. Mary's might be said to bear in itself the marks of universality ond perennity. When the Fathers of St. Augustine's Church come to Belle Air in 1842, they had been in Philadelphia for more thon fifty years. During that time they were forced to depend upon Ireland chiefly for a supply of recruits to carry on their work. They realized, however, that their labors would never be crowned with an Vety Key. John ). Farrell, O.S.A.. M S. Prior THE SCHOOL enduring success until they hod made provision for a constant supply of well-trained notive priests. When the Rudolph form-house became a monastery, therefore, accommodations were provided for the reception and training of candidates for the priesthood. In 1902 a permanent monastery building wos erected and quarters were pro- vided in it for the seminarians. The original monastery wos then given over to the housing of the younger candidates for the priesthood and re-dedicated as St. Rita's Hall. The present St. Rito's Holl is the successor to the original Villanova Mon- astery, replacing the latter which was destroyed by fire in 1912. Of late years the preparatory department hos been transferred to the Augustinion Academy at Staten Island, N. Y., where the younger candidates for the Order now receive their high school training At present St. Rita's is used to house those seminarians who cannot be accommodated in St. Mary's Hall. Meanwhile vocations to the Augustinion Order increased and quorters in the Monastery were proving inadequate to house both priests and students. In 1912 work was begun on St. Mary's Hall and the present building was dedicated on May 4, 1914. In the beginning St. Mary's provided ample room for Novices and Pro- fessed students both for those pursuing their college courses and those engaged in theological studies. As time went on, however, St. Mary's proved unequal to the tosk of adjusting itself to the increased number of seminarians. In 1925 the Novices were transferred to the newly established novitiate house at New Hamburg, N. Y. In 1930 St. Augustine's College was erected in Washington, D. C, to provide for those pursuing their four-year Theology Course immediately preparatory to the reception of priestly Orders. At present St. Mary's Hall houses only those Professed students who are pursuing their college course which is essentially that of the Art's School, with chief emphasis being placed on Philosophy and the Clossics. Since 1920 St. Mary's has been a distinct priory, the present Prior being the Very Rev. John J. Farrell, O.S.A. Rev. Thomas F. Gilligan, O.S.A., is the Prefect of Studies.

Boitlcy, O.S A , Th O Deoa SUMMER AM) PART-TIME WO ACCOUNT of Villonovo's occomplishments and progress con be complete without mention of its Summer ond Port-Time Schools. Since the Summer School is conducted ot a time when the average student is on vacation ond Part- Time Schools ore conducted off the compus, few students have knowledge of the extent or the workings of these schools. Yet taken as a unit these schools this year comprise a total registration of two thousand three hundred and seventeen students Of these only two hundred and eighty-six ore counted twice in Summer, Saturday Morning and Evening sessions, leaving a total of two thousand and thirty-one single registrations The geographical area covered by students who attend these courses is bounded on the North by Albany, on the South by Baltimore and on the West by Chicago The student enrollment of these schools compr.ses Sisters who teach Grommar Schools, High Schools and Colleges, representing twenty- five religious communities, representatives of several teaching orders of Brothers, both men ond women lay teochers, and many others who desire specialized training to fit them for certain positions. The growth of these schools hos increased over five times during the past five years The principle underlying the management of these schools is partly responsible for the growth It is the principle of Christian service, ever seeking new oppor- tunities to extend its influence The second factor in the growth of these schools is the efficient management of their Deon, Father Bartley A brief mention of these schools follows: The Summer Session wos established in 1918 In 1920 Rev Walter Rafter was oppomted the first Dean, who was followed by Rev. John Sparrow, and since 1931 Father Bartley hos occupied that position. The curriculum included lost Summer about one hundred courses in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Latin, French, German, Spanish, Education, Economics, and Philosophy. The Groduote School enrolled one hundred and ninety-five students, many of whom attend Summer and Soturdoy Morning sessions. The curriculum of this school includes mojors in Science, French, Lotin, English, Education and Social Science, leading to the degree Master of Arts. During the past year twenty-two students completed their requirements ond received the Master's degree Fifty schools The Saturday Morning Extension School conducted at Hallahan Catholic Girls' High School each Saturdoy morning, from nine until noon, listed during the current session sixty-five courses in Science, English, Education, Philosophy, Latin, Modern Languages and Social Science. About one-half of the courses are on the groduate level. The courses in Science are conducted each Saturday morning at Villonovo. The registration for the combined Extension Schools was seven hundred and seventy-six students. About one-half of the students registered are pursuing courses leading to the degree of B.S. in Educa- tion. Two seporote curricula are offered: one for ele- mentary ond the other for secondary teaching. In February, 1934, an Evening session was begun ot the Hallahan Cotholic Girls' High School. This year eighteen courses were given by the regular faculty to four hundred and eighty-five young men and women. The courses are conducted eoch Monday evening from early October until early June. The Evening session courses are of particular advantage to those who wish to pursue special fields of knowledge, and who are prevented from doing so by their daily occupation. Since 1918 four hundred and twenty-five students hove received degrees by meons of Summer and Part- Time courses. Of this number one hundred and forty- five have received the Moster's degree.

Rev. front ei Lu4� ig. O.S.A. Moderator SENIOR CLASS HISTORY IV- CAN oil recall plonning our college careers while the notion wos passing through YY 0 0f the greatest economic depressions in its history. Yes, it wos on September I� . 1933, that one hundred ond sixty students were storting a new life. Who con forget that registration procedure? Joining the line olreody formed in Mendel Hall, we slowly but surely mode our way into the Bursor's Office. Upper class- men were prancing in and out of the various offices greeting old friends, ond commenting on the group soon to be know os the closs of '37. After filling enough blonks to qualify one for o Congressman's position, we were escorted to the second floor to foce thot dreaded sceptre of Sophomore authority. Com- manding us to stand erect, questions were hurled at us one after the other. The hello habit, corrying of matches, and the letter delivering, were customs handed out to harossed yeorlmgs. Remember those first few days of room assigning, course plonning, and friendship making5 Hurryina, worrying,, chattering Freshmen, trying to do a hundred things ond accomplishing nothing Soon we were sountering the campus in green dinks and block Windsor ties However, the spirit of Villonova seemed to hove permeated our hearts the first day. Here, men from as many as twenty stotes met and lived in friendly relations. Faculty officials and student leoders collaborated in presenting to us various phases of college life during our orientation progrom. Giving hints here, oddmg warning there, the speokers delivered to us the solient foctors necessary for adherence if the student be successful. All the pent up fire of our indignation exploded at the annual Frosh-Soph field day held m November in the stodium With the abolition of regs at stoke, we fought tooth and nail, vying with the tormentors m contests of football kicking, pushball, greosed-pig canture, tug-of-war, and touch football The squealing porkie wos released and coptured by one of cur clossmates, but Mr Stuhldreher, the official referee, called this one for the Sophs This decision later proved victory, although we pulled the entire Sophomore closs through the college pond to win the tug-of-war. As time passed we soon noticed clossmates participating in the various social func- tions, publications, athletics, and scholostic endeovors. Our bosketboll team dealt the Temple Freshmen their only setbock in sixteen encounters However, Temple avenged this defeat when they handed the first boxing team ever to represent Villonova in the Inter- collegiate ranks, a 5-2 toeing. Fifty four Our first pclit'col compoign wos held. After spirited balloting, the following were elected: President, John Burke; Vice-President, Joseph Kone, and Secretory, Francis Willioms. One of the most disheartening ospects of our collegiate scene wos the sudden realiza- tion that it felt no different to be a Sophomore than it d:d to be a Freshmen ... os Fresh- men of only a Summer ogo we made our joyous way back to the process of delving into the pages of history, the teachings of philosophy, or into the secrets of the natural sciences ... we were immersed in the some ignominy that obscured us in our yearling stage . . . only the crescendo of confidence thot wells stronger in our souls tells us that we are entering that somnambulistic chrysallis stage of educational development ... a worm no more, whispers the Inner Voice, and as we spin the skein of sophistication about our grubby self, we can settle down to Sophomore sleep with bright visions of the butterfly we will some day be . . . After a few busy days, arranging and seeing old friends, definite plans were made to stage the first social event of the year cn October 26th the Sophomore Cotillion. When the news finally made the rounds that the Villanovans were to supply the melodic background and that late permission would be granted . . the lods were seen checking in at the Greeks for a few hours in the ofternoon to brush up on the latest fox trots ond waltz steps Genial Jaber Burke, Class President, proved the man of the hour when he conducted o dating bureau for the Freshmen Bids were extended to Rosemont, Immaculata and Mount St. Joseph's to solve the problem of securing partners for the Yearlings. Slowly the hour bond of the clock moved around and tolled the time to turn the floodlights on and start the rofters vibroting with melodies In twos ond fours they arrived. Soon they were swaying to the graceful strains of the waltz and twirling to the !■« � ' )• � !: Offold Kunz, Prtt.dtnf, Arthw Corktoo, Vice- President, (doord Fitter. Trcosuref.

More music, more dancing till the clock struck twelve signal for the collegiate Cinderellas to call it a night ... o few more dances after the intermission and so ended a hop worthy of repeating. The most outstanding individual feat of the year accomplished by a member of our class Tony Salo when he journeyed to Penn State and defeated Bernie Keplan of Western Maryland, Eostern Intercollegiate champion for the Light Heavyweight crown This was the first time in the history of Villanova that o student hod won such on honor. A few months later we polished the patent leather, pressed the tux and shook the dust off the top hat in preparation for the Belle Air Ball. Who could miss this! a little iiggmg with the Dorsey Brothers and o little swaying to the melodious tunes of Kay Weber and Bob Crosby, vocolists. The annual class election held in May saw Major Cleary, of Wilkes-Barre, become President, Mono Trcncelliti, Vice-President, Charlie Stahlecker, Secretary and Larry Steod, Treasurer. The splendor of becoming a member of the Junior Closs in ony collegiote institution, with its histone Junior Week, its blazers, rings ond dances morks but one thing—a step from the goal. Hock Dcnovon storted the ball a rolling when he combed the campus and took the finger measurements of all the members of the Jun;or Closs for their class rings Fifty-six Roy Murphy, (the big boy from Austin Hall), became o custom tailor when he set up a temporary shop in Mendel Hall to supply the third year men with their traditional blue and white collegiate blozers Then came a period of freedom from the strict scholostic life of college-- Junior Week. Solemn High Moss in the College Chopel officially opened the week and was followed by the patriotic flag raising by Closs President William B. Cleary. The first afternoon of the week was dedicated to our mothers, and Tom Kennedy, Chairmon for the day, conducted a very appropriate program. Gerry Kunz, Chairman of Open House, displayed the scientific wonders in Mendel Holl on Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday evening, Chairman Eddie McDevitt, and the Juniors with their white flannels and blue and white blazers danced to the tuneful strains of the Villanovans. The members of the Senior Closs were also present os guests of the third year men to enjoy the informal. This even afforded the Junior Closs an opportunity to formally bid forewell to their upperclossmen. John Chopple and Aloysius Fitzpatrick, Co-Chairmen of the Junior Promenade, placed the final touches on the decorations in the gym about seven o'clock Friday evening in time to permit Junior Week Chairmon, Jaber Burke to give his O K. to allow the show to go on. Jan Garber, the idol of the air lanes, harmonized with melodies of sophisticated and novelty diversion to fashion his style popular and enjoyable for dancing. The fol- lowing night the Junior Dinner Dance held in the Adelphia Hotel in Philadelphia, was the scene of gaiety.

With the last notes of the haunting strains from the orchestra's concluding piece, floating across the Mirror Room, the traditional Junior Week was climoxed and the college social season terminated. After a few weeks of closses, one of the hottest political campaigns was staged. With three distinct factions becking their favorites we held our breaths until the last ballot wos counted The Engineering students employed their slide rules and meosured the elasticity of the doss's voting power to ploce three men in office. Gerry Kunz became President, Arthur Carletcn. Vice-President and Edward Fister, Treasurer. Charles Stohlecker, a member of the School of Education, was elected Secretary. Alos' it's here our Senior Year. Four years ogo when we were os green as the sod in front of Mendel Hall, little did we think that the time would poss when we would find ourselves members of the fold to be graduated from the American Collegiate population. We can always return to the scenes of our college days, but never to the days when we shored in the joys of our fellowmen, when our roommate borrowed our soap, socks, and shirts when we searched the hall for a loan to finance a date . . when we attended chapel services together our only recourse will be in memories of the many incidents, personalities, rendezvous ond escapades which mode up the non-scholastic side of our college career. Our last year ran similar to the other three in the way of class octivity. Eddie McDevitt conducted a fine Belle Air Ball. George Collins took core of our nutritious Fifty-eight JUNIOR PROM COMMITTEE Scored (Left fo Right� : Donovon, Poden. Co-chairman; Choppte, Fitxpotrick, Clcory, Doug loti.

It's the smallest closs in years and takes the fewest Seniors from the field of athletics. Bill Christopher, Tony Solo, Bunny Galazin and George Fox ore the first Villanovo men to terminate their collegiote foot- ball careers under Clipper Smith. Don Brennen end Horry McNally are the only losses to Al Severance's quintet. Doc Jacobs will lose the services of Colonel Leo Schoppmeyer, while Tom Cook. Fritz Monahan and Pop Shealey will weaken the speed and power of the track team.

Moderator .MMOIK CLASS HISTORY IMAGINE the awe that was ours as we approached Villanova ■ College for the first time Imagine the feelings that were ours as we entered its portals and took our ploce in line with several other young men who were waiting their turn to place their names on the rolls of our chosen institution. How big we felt as we sheepishly chatted with our neighbor cr wotched some self-sufficient upper classman strolling down the hall. How small we felt, however, when we were occosted by several burly chaps in natty white hats who took us to a little room, shattered our illusions os to our importance, gave us the dink, tie and bodge which we were to wear for the next few months. 38 it soid on the caps, and 38 it reod on the badges. How far off it seemed. Day of ter doy we sat in a group and were gradually molded into a unit and imbued with the traditions of Villanova by the eager young members of the closs ahead of us With this knowledge came the carrying of trunks and the good-notured hozing that is part of every freshman's life. Soon the long-awaited field doy rolled around and the opportunity for which we had long awaited had finally come. With childish glee we tore into the yeorling class and defeated them in rugby, touch football and in the traditional tug-of-war. With this defeat ended the tyrannical reign of the Sophs and we were formally recognized os o closs. The class of 38 thus took its place with every other group of ambitious youths who have ever enrolled at Villanova. Towards the end of the year we held cur first election, when we chose Jordan Olivari of the Business School, President; Joseph Weber of the Science School os Vice-President, William Durkin and John Simons of the Engineering Deportment as Treasurer and Student Council representative, respectively, and elected Harvey Davis of the Business school to the position of Secretory Returning from the summer vacation we found ourselves Sophomores and no longer the underdogs of the co'lege Inflated with this new spirit of our own importance we set about our task of teoching the new Freshmon closs the tricks of the trade, and initiated them into Villanova traditions os the men before us had done for our closs Soon prepara- tions for the Sophomore Cotillion were begun and Harvey Davis was chosen os chairman. Supported by a good committee the dance proved a success. Late in April we hod our second class meeting ond John L Simons of the School of Technology wos elected President Chosen to assist him were: John McKenna Arts student Vice-President, Williom Durkin, Engineering student. Treasurer; Harry Guckenberger of the School of Education, Secretary W77 One Hundred Twcnty-lix With the coming of the next foil we find Olivari, Stopper, Stoviack, Roimo, Rodgers, Sherlock, Eorle, Nye, Melius, Rizzo, Hanno, McKenna, Volpe and Marquette representing the class on the gridiron. To the court squad we contributed Hopkins and Totin, while Escott, Stopper, Stoviack, McLaughlin and Garbark were on the baseball team. Finally the greatest event of the year, the annual Junior Week, came with oil its traditional splendor. John Stahman was appointed os head of oil Junior Week, while Charles O'Connor received the post as Chairman of the Prom. Patrick Kelly was Chair- man of Open House and handled this difficult assignment very well. Equolly industrious and successful were the managers of the Blozer Ball- Leonard Connelly and Chairman of the Dinner Dance, Paul Skelly. Credit for the success of Mother's Day goes to Chair- man William Corkhill, while the purchase of the blazers and class rings was the duty of Joseph Weber ond Louis Biester who performed these tasks to the greatest possible satis- faction of the class. Thanks for the success of the class in all its activities must be given to Reverend John Vrana, O.S.A., who was chosen moderator immediately after elections in the Freshman year.

Moderate sopiiomoici: '■'HE Class of 1939 become a part of the student body of Villanova College. Accepting the traditional regs which marked our novice, wearing the dark blue Heidelberg hats which were tc be known as dinks, and sporting a small block bow tie ond an identification badge, we subjected ourselves to the guidonce of our big brothers, the members of the Orientation Committee. Much did we tremble, when, tempted toward transgression from duty, we were reprimanded by Chairman William McLaughlin and his committee Yes, we respected the men in white cops, who seemed so concerned in our behalf, and we wholly co-operated with them Our training period lasted but a few months, in which time we hod mastered the songs and cheers of our Alma Moter, and regarded our presence ot scholastic functions involuable. We prided ourselves in the spirit in which we cheered, ond our hearts swelled when our voices echoed ond re-echoed in the stands ot an athletic encounter. Our greatest joy came at the Sophomore Cotillion It was a dance presented os a welcome to us- and we were truly welcomed No longer did we regard the Sophomore class as cool, speculative, and arrogant, they were truly our brothers The friendships awakened at this of fair will live with us for more than the few years which we will spend at Villonova Speeding rapidly, our Freshmon year drew near the end. Summer was quickly approach- ing In May we elected our closs officers who were destined to lead us through one of the most successful Sophomore years of any class ot Villonova In on overwhelming election, Richard J Walsh, Arts student, was chosen President of our closs. Robert G Howe and James E Kutz. both of the School of Science, were elected Vice-President and Treasurer, respectively. Our Secretary wos James A. O'Brien of the Commerce and Finance School Our first social function as a class proved to be one of the most successful achievements ot tamed by any class in the history of Villanovo College. Not only was the Sophomore Cotillion o success socially, but under the capable leadership of Huqh F Ferguson ond his committee, the dance proved exceptionally prosperous financially It is the financial success of this Sophomore social that mokes the Closs of 1939 outstanding for ours is the honor of being the first class to begin its contribution toword a scholarship fund before the termination of its Sophomore year. K One Hundred Twenty-cigh� At lost corne thot inevitable day, when the worriors of our closs were to defend their laurels against the invoders of the Freshman class This Field Day encounter proved one of the most robust ond joyful occasions thot we hove ever experienced. Bottling to a scoreless tie in a swift moving touch-footboll game, and stcging o rollicking fray in the tug-of-war which ended in o happy mud-slinging contest, the two classes relied on the pig-chasing contest to decide the outcome of the offair The Freshmen proved their supremacy of numbers when they placed the bewildered swine safely in its basket to win the deciding contest and merit the permission to discard their regs With every indication of being unshaken in our spirit of determination, ambition, ond confidence, we co-operoted whole-heartedly in extro-curricular activities, forming an essential embodiment in societies, froternities, ond intro-mural activities. Tempis fugit, and in our case ever so rapidly Our two short years at Villanovo lapse into mere memories; memories that are to remain long cherished and endeared We ore now approoching nearer the pinnocle, and only hope that our remaining time at Villa- nova will be marked by thot same fired ombition ond determination, so predominate in our Freshman and Sophomore years.

Hardly had we crossed the thresholdof Mendel Hall when we were led through numerous offices to sign papers, pay registration fees, answer various questions, receive a handbook, ond finally to be escorted to the second floor. Here the members of the Orientation Com- mittee gave us minute instructions os to the campus conduct, unending courtesy to the upperclassmen, and climoxed the meeting by giving us our dinks, black ties and badges. Orders were also given to show quick and responsive attention to the least desires of our superiors Our duties were plentiful and the commands of our mosters were nearly too numerous to fulfill. The first few days of our residence on the Belle Air estate brought much experience in trunk-carrying, toble-shifting, room-changing, shoe-shining, and unques- tioning mute deference in all things. After we had a chance to become acclimated to the surroundings a series of impromptu meetings were held in the amphitheatre with the white coppers scolding yearlings . . bellowing instructions to wear the regs . . . omit smoking cigarettes . . learn the college cheers and songs carry matches for the upperclossmen . get the hello hobit . . keep coots buttoned and hands out of pockets . . . and above oil stond erect while in the presence of upperclossmen. Soon the giddy preliminary whirl was over and with a faintly perceptible thud, the dull duty of starting to dosses began. Themes and assignment began to come due just as the organization heods nosed around for the talented boys. With a stilted air of cordiality, the representatives of the cryptic clans began to sow the seeds of an ensuing rush seoson A little impressed by the lofty sentiments and warm grins of these prototypes of collegiate perfection. Freshmen began to gather in little sessions to discuss the merits of the Villa- novan against the Belle Air, managerial duties against free afternoons to dance to the rhythms in the Greeks. With incredible pokiness, the calendor rolled around to the date when we were permitted to enter the various extra curricular activities. Day by day, we could see the members of our class trocing the latest sport slonts for the Villanovan, drag- ging a string of helmets for o practice session, and others morching to the tuneful strains of the New Colonial Morch with the College band. Early in October the Villanovan released the news that the social season would be christened with the stoging of the Sophomore Cotillion. Lads from all sections of the country poked their heads into the pages ond became more confused than ever. However, the Orientation Committee solved all problems in a splendid fashion and the Yearlings en- joyed their first taste of social life in college Finally the annual field doy orrived We combined our efforts to completely white- wash the Sophomores from their lofty perch. The most glorious victory of the day was in the final event when the lordly Sophs were pulled by the Yearlings through the College pond. Our doy has come. We are at last recognized os a part of Villanova College, the class of 1940 We console ourselves thot this is all part of the jerky process of education which every Freshman must encounter to develop the mind, body and spirit.

Smith. This solid, sun-tanned gentleman with a crisp style of speaking similar to Knute Rockne, was nicknamed Clipper back in 1917 at Notre Dame where he first broke into football With nineteen years of experience on the gridiron and as head man at three colleges, he was one of Rockne's favorite pupils and today he is pointed out as the coach whose style comes closest to that of the old master. Clipper was the first coach to take a Villanova team outside the states And in carrying on, he will always have the memory of a close friend — Class of 37.

We saw the Wildcats appearing like champions for five weeks only to falter into a lethargy the next Villanova's eag- erly awaited new football era, under Coach Maurice J. Clipper Smith, blossomed into success in the Goodreau stadium, when Pennsylvania Mil- itary College was defeated 32-7. The Chester cadets put over their touch- down in the first five minutes when Christopher fumbled McFadden's punt on his own thirty yard line and Sobeck recovered for PMC After five plays Sprang hit off left tackle for eleven yards and a touchdown Mc- Fadden kicked the placement. This surprise sortie served to make Smith's huskies awaken. Villanova's initial tally came at the start of the second period, with Andy Stopper hurling a thirteen yard flat pass to Ray Stoviak after an advance of forty-six yards. Buek, making his varsity debut, sprinted 13 yards around right end behind splendid interference for the second touchdown. 'In the third period Earle and Stopper ripped through the Cadet line for big gains, and Earle sliced right tackle for three yards to score. In the closing minutes of this period Stevens fumbled on the Ccdets' 27-yard line and Galazin recovered. Earle, Stoviak, and Stopper carried the ball right down to the 5-yard line Here Raimo relieved Earle and swept right end for the fourth touchdown. Raimo's 27-yard run early in the last period, longest of the game, led up to the final touch- down, which Buek scored on a 5-yard dash around right end. P. M. c. 7 Villonovo 32 0 N. Y.

Davis Wilson, Mayor of Philadelphia, was o member of the crowd of 18,000 that saw Villanova turn a predicted defeat into a well merited victory. After ten minutes of play, Stoviak intercepted a Detroit pass; Raimo teamed with Christopher to make a first down on the Titans' 45-yard line. The Cats advanced to the six- yard line with a series of reverses, spinners and off-tackle thrusts, mingled with a pass from Stopper to Christopher, that produced 20 yards. Just at the end of the quarter Raimo drove through tackle to the one-foot line. The second period opened with Raimo diving through center, to score the first touchdown Christopher's place-kick failed. Joe Missar broke up Detroit's first threat in the third quarter by intercepting one of Piper's passes Stopper and Christopher carried the ball into Titan territory with run- ning plays Then the Cats shifted to aerials.

Kindradki missed the extra point and the score was 13h5, the final; but more thrills were to come.

Beneath the ancient brow of old Nittony mountain, Villanova's rampag- ing Wildcats passed and plunged their way to their third successive victory when they vanquished Penn Stote 13-0. Earle started the assault when he sliced through right tackle for a first down on State's 42. Stopper tossed two succeeding passes to Stoviak and Salo, bringing the spheriod to the four-yard line On the following thrust Stopper skirted right end for the first touchdown. Christopher's try for the extra point failed As the teams resumed play in the fourth quarter, Raimo crashed through center for a first down. Then Stopper circled right end and stepped out of bounds Rabbit Roima in a six paint landing.

This game marked the first time in the history of the series, started in 1905 with State triumphing 29-0, that the Wiidcats ever came through with a victory. Villanova dominated the play throughout the game, with Stote able to flash only in spots for short gams Still undefeated and untied, Vi I lanova's football team achieved its fourth successive victory when it adjusted the skid chains to the previously unbeaten Green Terrors of Western Maryland, the final score reading 13-0. The first score was made in the second period, when the Wildcats unleashed an irresistible drive of 53 yards, with the punctuating mark provided as Buek's twenty-yard pass nestled in Nye's arms behind the goal. Olivar missed the extra point. In the final session, Rabbitt Raimo raced 31-yards through the entire Western Maryland team for the final score.

Our blocking was sad and untimely errors in this department resulted in costly penalties. Recovering from the debacle that took place at Bucknell, Villanova went tropical and invaded the lair of the South Carolina Gamecocks and plucked their tail feathers to the tune of 14-0. Christopher generated his team in a smart fashion when he mixed reverses, spinners, and then took to the air. With a first on his own ten. Stopper fired a bullet-like pass to Sola, who crossed standing up. Christopher converted the extra point. Turning into the fourth quarter, Christopher took Clary's punt 15 yards to the Gamecocks' 40. the next ploy Chris sent Stoviak crashing through center on a spinner for 7 yards. Suddenly Ray flipped a neat lateral to Rizzo who promptly fled the remaining distance for the final score. Christopher's right shoe again lifted the ball over the uprights. Fox and Sala played well at the ends, but Galazin's and Missar's granite-like resistance in the center line was largely responsible for the victory.

One Hundred Forty-five 18 Temple defeated Villanova in their ninth annual battle by a score of 6-0 when Pappas plunged through left guard from the two-yard line in the fourth period. The first three periods saw each team playing a strictly defensive game Not until Temple had scored did Villanova come to life Again the 'Cats were victims of a third bad break of their own making—Christo- pher's fumble of Docherty's ensuing kickoff. With only 25 seconds left to play, they secured their first taste of good luck when the officials ruled that Davidson and Smith interfered with Wysocki's attempt to catch a forward pass on the 14-yard line. It was our ball on the Owl's 14-yard line and only 25 seconds left to play. The Wildcats went into the air — Buckley, who had re- placed Christopher, faded back; Nye was all alone in the end zone A pass to him would have meant a possible victory, but Buckley did not see him, and his toss to Wysocki was batted down.

Thus ended the ninth annual game of the series — a desperately waged, but beautifully clean battle. Displaying an overwhelming and dazzling attack, Villanova ran rough- shod over the Kelly Green clan from Manhattan in the last game of the regular schedule The final score, 12-0, inadequately showed the differ- ence between the two teams. The Cats put on crushing drives of 75 and 53 yards for touchdowns in the first period. Rabbit Ramio crossed the Jasper's goal for the first score; Andy Stopper plunged over for the second. Captain Tony Sola featured the first drive with a 38-yard gain on an end play. The play of the four seniors stood out. Bunny Galazin played the entire game, one of his best in backing up the line George Fox came through with a nice goin on the end around play, and Bill Chris- topher handled punts superbly, Jordan Olivar had a field day in there His smashing tackle on Wheeler, after the latter intercepted one of our passes and dashed 65-yards, was the highlight of the game. Rizzo's touchdown play provided the comedy; our lads claimed Roimo was the ball carrier until Chick Meehan informed the officials otherwise Ray Stoviak's left handed passes had the Jaspers confused With Buek, Earle, Rogers, Missar, Melius, Wysocki, and Hanna all blending their talents, the Wildcats handed the Manhattan Jaspers a sound shellacking. Because of this impressive victory, Villanova was invited to participate in the mammoth Cuban sports carnival to be staged during New Year's week, in Havana. We accepted this bid, and Alabama Polytechnic Institute of Auburn, Georgia, was the team chosen os our rival.

The initial period was only a few minutes old when Billy Hitchock, Auburn's great left halfbock stabbed the Wilcats with his electrifying touchdown run. Jimmy Fen- ton added the subsequent counter with a perfect placement kick. It was no! until the third period that Villonova came to life. After downing Fen- ton's punt on their 21 -yard line, the 'Cats opened a 67-yard march to Auburn's 18. Here the Plainsmen broced and a couple of futile passes ended with Auburn taking possession on the 20-yard line. A kicking duel in the early moments of the final period found Auburn back in the shadows of its goal posts. Then came the dramotic moment of the game. Fenton kicked and there was a dull thud, the ball rebounding from the blocker, Rizzo, and Wysccki hod leaped on Fenton and buried him. but Kuber dove over the goal line to collar the bounding pigskin. Christopher was never calmer than when he pulled back his foot and let fly with the kick that tied the festival of sports' football gome. We cannot close this resume of the season without paying tribute to the gallant men One Hundred Forly-cight 1 ! who composed the personnel of this great football team. Their keen competitive spirit ond the will to win hod much to do with the successful record they mode.

The Wildcat ball-hawks got off to a flying start when they bowled over a strong Seton Hall quintet, 23-21. The new mentor, Al Severance, '29, and former Villanova Court luminary, used several combinations before a scoring five was produced. The men from South Orange were far behind the Wildcats during the first half of the game, and in on effort to win, put on a belated rally that just fell short of its mark by a field goal. Western Maryland displayed a weak brond of basketball, and gave the Main Liners little trouble in gaining their second victory. With Villanova holding the lead at half-time, 17-13 there was little indication of what was to follow.

With their clows sharpened, the Wildcats took o strenuous rood trip through the New England States ploying three games in as many days. The first foe to be conquered was St. Anselms to the tune of 37-32. The Saints gained an eorlv lecd, but relinquished it when the Villanovo forces began to bombard the hoops. Coptain Don Brennan collected scoring honors for the evening with eight points. Driving tc Providence, the Severance clan eked out a 40-39 decision for their fourth win. Villanovo started like world beaters but the Rhode Islonders rebounded to tie the score in the latter part of the second conto. With the lead see-sawing back and forth, Harry McNally sent the ball spinning through the hoop a few minutes prior to the final whistle and thus kept the Main Liner's in the undefeoted ranks. Weak and fatigued, the roaming Wildcats stopped off ot Springfield where they hod their ephemeral streak of four wins shattered. The gome was ployed on a collapsible floor placed over on ice rink. The Springfield combine accustomed to the frigid field house buried their shivering rivals under an 18-4 barrage at intermission. Villanovo outplayed the homesters in the second holf, but it wos no enough tc overtake the tremendous lead, and they succumbed—32-22. The weary 'Cats arrived home in time to obsorb their second defeat of the season at the hands of the Big Ten co-chompions, Indiana, by the score of 43-28. The first half ended in the Hoosiers ' favor, 18-16 Krutulis tied the count on the first ploy of the second half, but it was futile, for Indiana omossed a large margin to win easily. Bob Gunning, All-Americon fonvard, was held in check throughout by the diminutive guard, Vigilante. Rebounding from their two setbacks, Villanovo outplayed and upset o highly-favored and previously unbeoten Duquesne five, 32-20. The bewildered Dukes, ghastly surprised by their opponents actions, could not muster enough fight to get started Even the great Kweller was dis- gusted as he was held scoreless by Dubino Dickinson become the next 'Cot victim falling under a 44-28 tally.

Villanova took the lead on Krutulis's basket, but Howie Black came back to put the Owls in front with his three baskets. Temple went still further ahead after Krutulis was banned on fouls. George Washington journeyed north to hand the Wildcats their fourth reversal of the year. After a slow start, both teams commenced their scoring abilities. The lead finally lodged in the visitors' laps as a result of Schonfeld's goal late in the opening conto. Villanova fought savagely to gain on their fleeing opponents, but it was to no avail, for George Washington came out on top, 33-23 Swinging back into a winning stride after two setbacks, Villanova passed and tossed its way round Providence College, winning its seventh game by a 33-27 score. The team that was held to nine field goals by Temple and George Washington seemed to find itself on its own floor. Harry McNally paced the attack with 13 points, ond Jim Montgomery followed up with 10. Villanova came to life after a slow first half stort and went galloping post Ursinus, 39-14. The Wildcats dropped twelve points through the hoops in the closing period, meanwhile holding the Bears to three. Foilure to convert fouls cost the Villanova quintet their game with Generva. Taking an early lead via field goals, the Severance men fell down on the charity line, and the Goventers caught them at half time, the score being 16-all. The 'Cats again surged ahead and remained there until the visitors came from behind to win the affair in the waning moments. Villanova missed no less thon eight free throws enough to covet victory. Dickinson turned the tables to spank the ' Cats 27-26, on o last minute field toss by Bill Kintzing. The old spark ond fire wos missing in the Villanovo attack. Wild passes and wide shots were fluent. Six foul shots were ogain wasted In the wildest and roughest contest of the season, Villonovo submerged Bucknell, 37-14. The Bisons were no match for the far superior 'Cat outfit. The regulars saw very' little oction as their replacements performed commendably. Westminster resembled o second rate aggregation when they were upset by the Wildcats, 27-10. The losers used a zone defense that was completely riddled by the victorious shorpshooters. Westminster never hod o chance, for at one time they trailed 20-6. The ' Cots gained their third straight decision in downing Lafayette, 40-33.

Albright and Lehigh become consecutive victims five and six for Villanova, to the scores of 39-20 and 35-23. Both clubs were far inferior to the Severance cooched machine.

Crossing the river the Wildcats put up their greatest fight of the seoson to gain the nod on the highly favored St. John's squad, 31 -35. In the final game of the season, the Main Liners journeyed to the Nation's capitol and suffered defeot ot the hands of George Washington University quintet, .19-17. The Colonials, ploying an all-Senior combination for the major portion of the game, went into the half-time holding a 15-7 lead over the Wildcats. Handicapped by a slippery floor and their inability to make good their shots, Villanovo fought desperotely to overcome the large lead. The game was one of the roughest of the current seoson, with both teams drawing numerous fouls Montgomery put on a real exhibition of floor work and handling of the ball.

IK a s I� a 11 ■DISPLAYING concentrated power at the plate and snapping out of their belated start, Doe Jacob's Wildcat nine developed into one of the leading baseball aggregations in the eastern collegiate circles. Traveling to Princeton for their opening game, the Main Liners fell victims to a 7-2 defeat when Dick Bell, veteran right-hander, displayed an effective change of poce to set the first fifteen visitors down in order and allow the Cots five scattered hits. Fiddler Sheftic and Bobby Bond collected two each with relief twirler Joe Desmond collecting one in the eight. Two singles, a base on balls, and fielder's choice gave the Wildcats a brace of runs in the sixth canto. In their next game, the Blue and White fell victims to a 15-2 shellacing at the hands of Jimmy Wilson's Nationol Leaguers before a record crowd of 40CQ fans at Roosevelt Field, in Norristown. Claude Passeau twirled the first five innings for the Phils, yielding but one hit, a double by Bobby Bond in the fourth. He wos succeeded by Orville Jorgens, who was to the Cats' liking. Villanova's scoring was accomplished when McKenna opened the eighth with a double, moved to third on Sheftic's hit and scored when Jorgens tossed wildly to first on the play. Stoviak's long double to center tallied Sheftic. No tonic wos needed by the Villanovo lads in winning their first victory from the University of Pennsylvania. They slammed out eight hits, ran wild on the bases and played flawless ball behind Frank Escott's brilliant four-hit pitching exhibition to give Villonova its third straight victory over Penn in os many years. The Main Liners picked up a run in the fourth when Garbark raced from second all the way home on Wannemacher's single. They scored again in the fifth when Escott came tearing home on Stoviak's hit to left. After a lull in the sixth, the Wildcats' bots began to bark in a sustained roar all through the seventh. When the Red and Blue fielders finally got them out, the Wildcats hod sewed up the ball game by adding four more runs, Escott, landing on first after Jeffers fumbled his liner, was sacrificed down to second by Sheftic After Francis Crowley, Second Bose; Lenny Mcrullo, Short Stop; Joe Desmond, Pitcher.

The Wildcats knocked Paul Ryan, startling Providence hurler, from the mound during o seven-run uprising in their first turn ot bat, ond this lead was sufficient to allow them to coost to victory.

Yes, the Mendel Bulletin was started in May, 1929, chairmon Dave Zion will tell you, but if you drop around ony weekday afternoon you can see how this th rty-two pGge bulletin is published. This yeor the policy was changed from the original system of on editor-in-chief ond business manager guiding the destinies to one chairman ossisted by on editorial board of eleven members. However, it you should leof through the pages of this blue-cover publication, you would find feoture articles on the Haloform Reaction, or The Effects of Various Salt Solutions on the Isolated Embryonic Chick Heart Prior to Nerve Entronce. Then to deol with the more practical side of scientific investigation mode in the industrial field an article on the manufacturing of artificial silk would be found. Pot Guorini, Villanova's ace cameraman, reveals to the students a brief exposition on the technique involved in photographing microscopic objects. Usually os a means of balancing the subject material an orticle edited by a member of the Science School faculty oppeors.

The minutes of the previous meeting are read by Secretary Larry Stead, not only to refresh the minds of the nine members on the lost meeting's doings, but also to moke additions or corrections as they deem necessary. Old business ranging from the enforcement of Freshmen regulations to the rectifying of student's com- plaints, are discussed pro and con before arriving ot a definite conclusion. When the various problems have been tested ond are certified by the council, the Chairman submits o report to the Dean of Men for his sanction. Closs elections send the entire council to the voting precincts to oct in the copacity of judges ond maintain general order during the voting hours After each election all the ballots are tabulated and the results are posted throughout the campus. During the year the council is kept busy sponsoring football rallies receptions for various athletic teams, and collecting funds for mony choritoble institutions. The councils' latest innovation in the last few months is a contact method of leorning just what student's wishes are. Each week a committee from the council meets with o committee from the faculty to consider the best method of correcting problems which are conflicting with student life. This democratic body strives to promote ond secure the coordination between students and faculty which will resu't in the best interest of all.

You guessed it- it's the Vigilance Committee to former Villanova men, but to us the Orientation Committee in action. Who's Who and What's What at Villanova, racks the mind of every Freshman because of the new environment. This is where the Orientation Committee comes to their rescue. A select group of Sophomores garbed in white hats, not only welcome the Frosh, but also give them their instructions regarding their conduct on and off the campus In the first few weeks of school the Orientation Committee teach the Freshmen the college songs, yells, traditions and the rules. They also drop tips here and there—get acquainted, be in bed by eleven except Saturday, observe study hours, sign out, watch your cuts, go to chapel, wear your blue caps and block ties, practice the hello habit, and try tc act like upperclassmen, os nearly os possible. Early in November the annual Sophomore ond Freshman Field Day is held It is during this episode thot the Frosh secure revenge on the upperclassmen. This year the yeorlings won the events of the day and as a climox gave the Sophomores a ducking in the college loke. Beneath all the pleasure ond pain, the Freshmen can alwoys recall the spirit of friendliness ond helpfulness of the White Cappers. One Hundred Ninety-two A. S. M. E. NY weekday afternoon when you are finished classes ond happen to be down at the Pennsylvania Railrcod station waiting for the Pocli Locol to take you to the city of Brotherly Love, you might see a cion of twenty students or so, coming ever from the Post Office reoding a newspaper or even a letter from home before boarding the train. These lads belong to the A S. M. E., a strictly engineering term, but to curious individuals the student chapter of the American Society of Mechonicol Engineers. Each week President Joe Delaney and his associates go off on an inspection four through some particular plant. This year they have seen many locol plonts as well os a few from out of town The most extensive tour of the season was made through the Pilgrim State Hospital in Brentwood, Long Islond. Like a crowd of Pinkerton's men these engineers made it their business to cover every possible clue for a successful investigation. They took periodic reodmgs at regulor intervals of boiler data, fuel consumption, feed water flow ond engine operation They also observed the amount of carbon dioxide contained in the flue gases. Such educational tours enabled the members of this organization to obtain a practical knowledge of the subject material inspected.

W HEN you reod over a list of Villonovo's student chopter of the Amer- ican Society of Civil Engineers, you almost go into a mental tailspin. There are so many that our Civils must be as restless as on ocean liner crossing the Atlantic. When classes are over these lads drop into Louie's Pie Shop for a snack while President Mario Menocal colls the roll before leaving to inspect some Philadelphia industrial plants. After each inspection cruise, meetings are held in Mendel Hall to discuss the latest developments and outstanding highlights in that field. In some of these weekly meetings, students ore selected to prepare papers on various problems dealing with mopping, development of water power, or even the construction of streets. After the papers are reod, the meeting turns into a free for all discussion where many times, constructive criticism results. Most of the members get a mental uplift from the speeches of the outstanding speechers the A. S C. E.'s bring to the campus. In May the Intercollegiate Student Chopter Convention was held at Villanova Every collegiate delegation present appointed o member to speak on some particular phose in the field. Prizes were awarded for the best diction, most practical selection of a topic and scientific value. When you need property lines determined or bridges constructed, we suggest you coll o Civil.

If he likes the sound of your voice, you may be made a member of the Varsity Debating Team. As President Anthony L. Differ says, 'The time has come to talk of many things —and to talk often, at the rate of fifty times o season. One engagement always tops another, so good are Professor Froyne's students. They talk on and on and on, but always about something and they do it so well you just have to stop and listen, even if you're on the way to the city' of Brotherly Love, and then you will hear them vibrating the ether waves of the Mutuol Broadcasting System with their oratory eloquence. Joseph Carroll, a silver tongued orator at heart, usually defends the affirmative side of the question with Tony Differ adding a few words to strengthen Villanova's viewpoints. John Hosey and John McManus, the pinochle sharks of the college, dust off a few excellent phrases to answer the call for the negative team.

Remember those proctice sessions during noon hour between the Frosh and Varsity when Robert O'Brien, Frank Pimpinella and Robert Wilderotter polished their discourses before entering competitive fields? A few months ago the Yearlings took a trip to Lokewood, New Jersey, to motch arguments with the coeds of Georgion Court College Just like the rest of the curious individuals gathered in the amphitheater, we were amazed, to say the least, when we listened to the Frosh tearing down constructive arguments and suggesting plans for remedy.

Every Saturday afternoon during the football seoson thousands are en- raptured with this setting. The football gomes are of course the important event of the afternoon, but the band supplies the necessary color with the stoccato-like playing of famous morches and school songs. Between the halves the show goes on. Drum Major, Pio Goggi, clad in a complete white uniform, directs the entire corps into unique letter formations, pinwheels, and other semi-military figures on the cleat-scarred gridiron. Director Paul Tiel pierces the air currents with the waving of his baton, accenting beats, emphasizing certain parts of the measures, and transforming melodies by means of harmonic and rhythmic changes. Turning from the football games, this musicol organization furnishes enjoyment for other important events. One of the most outstanding on this yeor's calendar wos the reception on the steps of city hall in New York when Mayor La Guordia and Moyor Rossi of San Francisco lauded the fine musical talents of our Bond. Yes, we can all recall the nights when we gathered round the radio ond listened for the strains of our Alma Mater or the March of the Wildcats to floot aver the ether waves or when we joined the ranks behind the Band, ond marched the campus before and after student rallies. Of course, it wos always the-melodic strains of this campus unit that raised our spirit and chosed old man gloom into the background.

With Walter Sheftic (the crooning tenor), raising his baton on the up beot, the musicians put their instruments into play and now the Villanovans are riding high on rhythmic strains of some familiar melody. Charlie Stotler who still insists that he and Benny Goodman are tops is kicking-out on his clarinet with a hot second chorus while Abe Hobson blends in the bcckground with the mellow notes of the trumpet Eddie Ladowski slides a few threads of the melody to balonce the bross end reed section os Poul Wade brushes lightly, and Cy Doly slops out the off beat to dominate the rhythmic trend. Between the aroma of tobacco and flowers, Georgie White strolls up to the mike, points his trumpet at a forty-five degree angle, ond melts the quarter and half notes into o sweet melody. Henry McCorry, featuring his tenor saxophone, soors into on unbridled improvisation, with third soxophone player Claude La Dow donating syncopated runs, phrases, and choruses. Charlie Besch whose nimble fingers crush black and white keys blending chords in the background, occasionally views the dancers, but chiefly rooms the keyboard to announce intermissions.

Slavin, '13, was tendered the first Phi Kappa Pi award for his interest ond development in furthering the cause of VilIonova Engineering students. Throughout the year tournaments in various sports were sponsored by the fraternity. An elaborate dinner-dance terminated the social season—to soy the least, it wos a great year for the Engineers.

CLIPPER'' SMITH Modcrotor 'JViE Wildcats of Villonovo are not related to the beost of the jungle os the name would lead you to believe, but on the contrary they are real red-blooded athletes who have earned the right in rigid varsity compe- tition to wear the white V against a dark blue background. Not unlike any other campus organization, they have a definite purpose for existing - but whether they keep this purpose in mind or tuck it away in the archives of the post we're not sure. However, os we ore going to tell you, the Varsity Club fosters the promotion of clean athletics and good friendship between its members and those of other colleges. These collegiate stars convene several times during the year to arrange for elections, or to raffle off tickets for trips and funds; they olso have their pictures taken sometime in April. As a heritage of stortling stories left by Villanova's heroes of the gridiron, diamond, cinderpath ond wooden- way, we may envision the tales of missed iockles, brilliant baseball cotches, heartbreaking runs ond deadly basket shots thot are conjured up about heroes past and present. Two Hundred Two HEN you hear the proverb orourtd Villonovo— All work ond no ploy mokes 'Jerry' a duli boy —it's true, for if Jerry Piserchio ond the rest of his odventuresome colleagues were to focus their naked eyes over o microscope daily without any relaxation, their minds would become inert. However, the Lambda Kappa Delta fraternity was established to guard against any such cotostrophes ond foster fellowship between its members and the entire student body' of the Pre-Medical School Before you can join this honorary organization, you must mointain a high scholastic standing and then pass the board of admissions After qualifying in this you receive the customary pledge for membership—then the initiation. Hew can we forget this? Remember last February when the Freshmen pledges were labelled amoebos for the evening receiving instructions to bend to a 90 degree angle . . . grasp the ankles . . then the soft impression of paddles . . . dust and groans mixing with the air currents . . . drinking the famous prescription that guarantees to remove scors, brush your teeth ond port you hair in ony style—some prescription we say, but we didn't have to somple it. The rays of the colored lights were divided when the future men in white attended the annual L. K. D. dance during Thanksgiving week-end. A few months later the L. K. D.'s flipped into formolity, consuming o few victuals between dances for a rollicking good time. GFRAID J.

Moderator II AVE you ever hod o membership in o club where you did not hove to poy dues, ottend the regulor meetings, or even suggest new members to carry on the trcditions of such on organization? Well, we will let you know that Villanova has such a club which answers oil these requirements —the Day Students Club. This campus organization was started through the efforts of Reverend Edward B McKee, O S A., to bring together the day students from the voricus schools into a closer spirit of friendship and representation in the various student activities. From all indications this bunch must be on ogreeable clan of intellec- tuals, for if you were to poss by the clubroom in Mendel Hall ony noon hour, you would find a beehive of activity. Your eyes would catch glimpses of Jock Hosey ond John McManus, the Pinochle sharks, stocking them ogainst Al Fitzpctrick and Frank Winterer, the Bridge specialists, while a group of Engineers or Science students are trying to concentrate on their books for the next class. After classes this club features athletic talent in the Intra-Mural gomes. They hove always proven strong opponents ond have coptured basketball and swimming titles on several occasions. Any day student is eligible for membership and may partake in the fun and activities of the club Two Hundred Four Left ro Right: O'Connell, Juergen� , Quigley, Tirrell, Bongiovonni Inf M nal ional IKHalions Sociclv J F VARIETY'S the spice of life, there's no reoson in the world why you shouldn't hove o sparkling adventure leisurely cruising with the Inter- national Relations Society. For no ship afloat is so well adopted to this particular voyage as the Emperor International with Captain James Quigley at the helm. Around the world this crew of international-minded individuals are traveling to see places and people. They intend to delve into affairs of all notions and study the most effective means of fostering international peace After hoisting anchor, they pointed their spy glasses to scon the briny deep for warning signals and harbor lights to safely navigate the Emperor's bow through European waters. They are quick to sense the strife between nations in their attempt to gain control of world power, but they remain unbiosed in their opinion and jot down their findings which later serves as material for discussion in their native port. They know an SOS, too, when they hear one and are quick to the rescue. While Spoin was passing through one of the most terrorizing civil wars in her history, several of the liner's occupants were caught in a whirlpool of home-sickness and others were found on the top deck exhousted from collecting data. Returning home, they hod their moments of joy tanning and ploying under ozure skies . . . versed with sound interpretation of Inter- national Peace.

Spanish 'Iuli CHARLES S. BRUNO Preiident f 7AMOS o hacer un viaje imaginario por Espanacon el club Espaftol. This is just what we would do if we were to attend the weekly meetings of Villanova's Spanish Club. Charlie Bruno, a linguist at heart, is President of the local clan, ond really conducts a lively meeting. After the minutes hove been read and the dues collected, genial Charlie narrates in his staccato style various legends and interesting facts about the land of romance. Usually os a feature for each meeting an important speaker is present to reveal to the club members the various facts about Spain. These narrations are olwoys in Spanish and afford the students studying the language opportunity to sharpen their accent, increase their vocabulary, and take a greater interest in the language ond country of Spain. If we were to enter the meeting during one of these narrations, we would think we were taking a Cook's tcur through Spain for we would hear stories about the bull fights, famous squares in Madrid, life in the various sections of the country and the latest developments in the civil war. During the year each member of the club had to carry on a cor- respondence with a native student in Spain. When he received his answer, he would read his letter to the club members and this in turn would stimu- late a general discussion. Reverend Lorenzo Lozano, OS A, Faculty Mod- erator, who, by the way, is a native of Spain, enters into the vorious discus- sions buH chiefly adjourns the meeting with the familiar odios—hosto la vista.

There wos President Jimmie Wheeler checking weather reports, Moose Donovan fingering a time table, Norman Cotter buzzing along on a fine- toothed comb, and Moe Dimon reading the schedule of events for the week. These include inspection tours through local aircraft plants, lectures on aviation developments and short cruises above the clouds. Between their conferences, they soared so high that they drew up a charter, adopted by-laws, determined club policies and elected delegates to attend the National Intercollegiote Convention of Aeronautical Societies held in Washington, D.

This clan is known as the Wilkes-Barre Club. Just as regular as the Sunday paper. President Cleary and his fellow clubmen gather for their weekly meeting and arrange a social colendar to be effective during the holiday seasons of Christmas and Easter. The news made the rounds through Kingston, and Pittston while o second edition traveled southward around Plymouth ond Nonticoke to inform all the Villanova men that the Hotel Sterling in Wilkes-Barre was the selected spot for the Christmos night melodic odventure. Jerry McHale wos chosen to guide the gallant dancers through threads of fomilior melodies. More music, more dancing - then suddenly another dance makes history. During the Eoster vocation the club members donned their dinner jackets, escorted a few of the local oelles to dine and dance thus terminating the social seoson for the onthrocite lads. Bill Cleary, Charles Betz, John Noll ond Edward Virusky were presented with keys by their Faculty Moderator, Reverend Bernard McConville, O S A. Another banner year for the oldest campus organization of its kind. WILLIAM B. CLIARY President Two Hundred Eight JOHN CRONIN President • •E North Jersey Club con boost of Accomplishing many feots this year, but the most outstanding wos to receive the distinction of having one of its members selected os Villanova's supreme sweepstoke winner. John Cronin neat and brainy as they come, captured this title by winning the trip to Havono to see Villonovo's football teom wage a great uphill battle against Auburn in Cuba's Notional Sports Festival. In his spare time John guides the destinies of the clan from the Garden State, Every Tuesday evening of ter Chopel, President Cronin calls the group together to discuss business ond orronge plons for the coming social events. Not unlike the rest of our cut-of-state clubs, this organization desires to produce unique jazz sessions. Along about Christmas the North Jersey- ites grow big-heorted, declore dividends and hold o dinner dance at the Brook's Club in Summit. A few months ago, Eoster to be exact, the entire organization dined and danced till the clock struck twelve—signol for the Cinderellos to call it a night . . . thus climaxing the club's social season. However, before the curfew. Reverend Charles P Brown, OS A, Foculty Moderator, presented keys to all the senior members.

Two Hundred Nine BENEDICT MALONEY Prctidcnt Connecticut tini� WERE puzzled, to soy the least, when we heard that the lads from the Nutmeg state were going to reorganize the Connecticut Club. From all indications this bunch meant business because not many moons hung over Villanovo, and there are some mellow ones in o seoson, before arrangements were well under way to feoture on extensive soc al session. Of course the charter, by-laws and policies were opproved before electioris took place. Then late one Thursday evening during November, the initial meeting wos held with Reverend Michael J. O'Donnell, O. S. A., Faculty Moderator, presiding Before the group had departed to crash the textbook pages for Friday's classes, J Bened ct Maloney of Villanovan fame, was elected President; Edward A. Wolff, Vice-President; Carl Pontaleo, Secre- tary, and Roymood H. Cutler was elected to guide the financial policies of the organization. However, in January old man trouble became a member and through clever canivering vacated the offices of Vice-President and Treasurer and checked the social calendar. Theodore J. Goumy and Harold J. Burns were selected to fill these vacancies. During the Easter vacation o brilliant dinner dance wos given at the Pavilion Royole featuring the music of Worthy Hills and his orchestra Undergraduates and alumni doncing till down tabbed this affair a success Several minor functions were included in the social calendar for the remainder of the year.
