Dean of the School of Engineering Moy 2,1884 — February 6, 1938 whose death during the past year was a loss to students, faculty and alumni; and who will always be remembered and appreciated for his mony years of splendid work at Villanova College. IN REVIEW WITH the graduation of the Class of 1938, the Very Rev. Edward V. Stanford, OS.A., will complete his sixth year as President of Villanova College. It seems fitting that we review the outstanding events of his term of office. After the Great Fire had swept through the halls of St. Thomas' Monastery, the year of Father Stan- ford's appointment, distinguishing landmarks planted themselves firmly in the soil of Villanova. Father Stanford's varied activities in the educational and clerical world, and his appointment to nation-wide committees have popularized the name of Villanova among influential circles. His able assistant, Rev. Bernard M. Albers, O.S.A., at the same time, has improved campus life for the student. New extra-curricular activities have taken root in the past six years, making the student's leisure hours interesting. A vast intra-mural league in all sports and entertainment was inaugurated to stim- ulate competition between the various halls German, Science, History, and Music Seminars have recently been added to the other cultural societies. A Symphonic Band joined the ranks of music to compete against swing Merit Awards are presented at the close of the year. At the climax of the social season, a Mother's Day is offered for the benefit of our parents. Nationally famous orchestras have supplied the rhythms for the outstanding social func- tions. While the gymnasium was quickly and conveniently converted to auditorium, ballroom or theatre. Those who have graduated have not forgotten Villanova. Local alumni clubs have been established in numerous cities. The Villanova Alumnus reaches the homes of the graduates. Homecoming Day is held each year. In the turn of the clock, Villanova has not failed to keep pace with the inventive and literary world. The Li- brary of Congress System has been installed in the college library. Teaching by motion pictures has been introduced Textbooks by our own teachers have been published and are in present use. Members of the faculty have been encour- aged to seek higher degrees in their spe- cialized fields. A Retirement Plan for the faculty has been adopted. To Carl T. Humphrey and Charles A. McGeehan, who have passed away while contributing their minds and bodies to the welfare of the College, we extend our per- sonal and spiritual gratitude. Seventeen PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD Very Rev.

Twenty-three Twenty The present high position of Villonovo College is due to the ability and fore- sight of her leaders. Prominent omong even these leaders arc the Deans of the four schools—Arts, Science, Engineering and Business. They not only keep pace them- selves with a swiftly chonging world, but keep us in step olso. They install the latest equpment, keep in touch with outstanding men in business and science, and acquaint us with their newest theories and discoveries. No musty unworldly philosophers in this learned group. Possessing an amazing fund of knowledge about each one of us, the Four Deans nurture that intimote personal relationsh'p between the faculty and student body, so typicol of the Catholic College. A polite summons to the Dean's office has rescued more than one failure-bound student. We leave and are forgotten with the rest, but they ore remembered and their efforts appreciated. Rev. Bernard M.

EXECUTIVES OF THE FUTURE THE C Cr F , Villanovo's Business School, stands alone at one end of the campus. Entering it through the basement door, we find several students around two long tables noisily preparing homework for the next class. Over by the window, the game last Saturday is being reviewed in detail by two freshmen, while an intentionally unnoticed sophomore inquires about a cigarette. Shouting back and forth ond slamming locker doors add to the confusion. In the auditorium, cut off from these disturbances, a student is vigorously defending his political views before a hostile majority in the Public Speaking class. Passing by, we catch a fleeting glimpse of music stands behind him, a piano in the corner, and a moving picture screen on the front wall.

SEMINARIANS THE six schools of Villonovo College, we believe that the one most intimately connected with its maintenance and success is the school conducted in St. Mary's Hall. In this proud grey pile of bottlcmentcd architecture ore housed the Professed Clerics of the Order of St. Augustine, who are pursuing the philosophical and collegiate courses preparatory to the Holy Priesthood. Here the young men, junior members of the Order, are trained over a period of four years in the fundamentals, both spiritual and scholastic, which will serve them as active workers in the ministry of the clerical religious priesthood. These young scholastics have come apart from the world and its manifold dis- tractions in order to devote their entire efforts towards the acquisition of virtue and learning. Answering the vocation of God, they enter upon a life of service and sacrifice, after having made profession of the vows of Poverty, Chastity, and Obedience. Forty four The life of the Professed Cleric is marked by routine and order. They live together in com- munity, following the Rule written by St. Augustine for the Friars whom he founded. The domin- ating spirit of this rule is charity and love of God and fellow man. Its guiding principle is to give the sons of St. Augustine an objective norm to enable them to live their lives in unity and har- mony as they strive to become worthy ambassadors of Christ: to be of one mind and one heart in God. Silence, prayer and recollection form a large part of the Professed Cleric's every day life. The spiritual exercises serve to nourish his soul and render closer his union with Almighty God. The daily recitation of the Divine Office enriches mind and heart with a knowledge and spirit of the beauties of Church Liturgy. These divine praises he daily chants for the spiritual and temporal needs of the Church Universal. Again, in the spiritual conferences which are given weekly to the Professed by their Father Master they receive instruction and guidance in the spiritual life. But the life of the Augustinian scholastic is not one of religious training only. As Augustin- ian priests they will have to combine the active with the contemplative life in the performance of their duties as teachers, and parish and missionary priests. They arc subject, therefore, to a course of studies calculated to enable them to fill these offices well. In general, all the Semin- arians receive the classical Bachelor of Arts course, with the greatest emphasis laid on Philosophy —Philosophy is best suited to train the mind and prepare it for the study of Theology whose hand- maid it is. Opportunities are also offered the scholastics to acquire additional credits in speciol fields; as for instance, in Science, Mathematics, Modern Languages, Sociology, and Education. After their classical education at Villanovo the scholastics will study Theology either at the Augustinian College at Washington, D. C., affiliated with the Cotholic University of Americo, or abroad at the Augustinian International College in Rome. Many of the alumni of St. Marys Hall ore among those picked by the religious superiors of the Province of St. Thomas of Villonova for foreign study and specialization. Re� . Jomcs S.

DURING the post twenty years, through its Part-Time Schools, Villa nova College has extended to the citizens of Philadelphia and vicinity all the facilities of its regular daily curriculum. Many thousands, unable to ottend the College because of their occupa- tions, hove taken advantage of the Summer School, the Saturday Morning Extension School, and the Monday Evening School. The faculties of these schools are composed of the some professors who teach at Villanova. The summer classes are conducted on the Villanova campus, beginning the last week in June and extending to the first week of August. The curriculum offered lost summer included one hundred courses embracing Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Latin, French, Germon, Spanish, Education, Economics and Philosophy. Slightly over eleven hundred students attended the Summer School during 1937. This enrollment is an appreciable increase over former years, but it is nevertheless only in keeping with the steady growth of the three part-time schools. This growth is particularly true of the past six years, during which the enrollment has in- creased five hundred per cent to the present year's total of twenty-three hundred students. Among those attending Summer School, there were one hun- dred and forty college graduates, who pursued majors in Science, French, Latin, English, Education and Social Science, leading to the degree of Master of Arts. The Saturday Morning Extension School is conducted at the John W. Hallahcn Catholic Girls' High School in Philadelphia and at Villanova from nine o'clock until noon. This year, well over seven hundred students registered in the ninety-seven courses given. Courses offered were: Science, English, Education, Philoso- phy, Latin, Modern Languages and Social Science. The Science subjects ore conducted in Villanova's extensive laboratories located on the campus. In the Education Department two separate curri- cula are offered, one for elementary and the other for secondary teaching. Youngest of the part-time schools is the Monday Evening session established in 1934. This school, whose sessions are held at the Hallohon High School, was instituted for the benefit of those who, desiring to ottend either the Summer School or Saturday Morn- ing Extension, were prevented from doing so by their daily occupa- tions. The wisdom of this new venture has been demonstrated by the number who register every session. During the post year, four hundred and fifty students enrolled in the twenty courses offered.

With the comple- tion of the first quarter mony of us realized tfiat the important thing at Villonova was to obtain an education. It was not long, however, before we learned to properly apportion our time, so that we could get the most out of studies and extra-curricular activities. Field Day came and passed, and with it, the regs and the tyronny of the Sophs whom we defeated in a series of events, climaxed by the tug-of-wor in the college pond. With this victory our period of probation was ended and we were formally accepted as another class of Villonova men. Our last official act as a freshman class was to choose our officers to guide us through the Sophomore year. Early in spring, we met and elected Jordan Olivari, President; Joseph Weber, Vice-President; William Durkin, Treas- urer; and Harvey Davis, Secretory. Another undefeated squad. As Sophomores Orientation Committee — oids to hapless freshmen. f UR first year of college life hod passed; we were returning from vacation with only dim memories of that faltering, self-conscious Freshman year. The first year was, at times, difficult; there were many days when doubts of our own abilities ossoiled us, when self-confi- dence was ot a low ebb. For most of us, far from our families for the first time, there was the homesickness, silly now but very important then, that had to be submerged through new friends, new activities. When the second year classes had begun, we found thot a few of our classmates had dropped out because of financial and scholastic difficul- ties. Saddened by the loss of our friends, we returned to our work, sincere and set in our pur- pose of making the most of our opportunities to gain the culture and training offered by Villanovo. Instilled with the Villanovo spirit, aware now of our ability to further the glory and honor of our school, we were no longer, as a class, faltering or unorganized. The Class of 1938 was now a compact body, ably headed by Presi- dent Jordon Olivari, as a fine scholar, athlete and leader as one can find anywhere. Remem- bering our own difficulties as Freshmen, one of our first duties was to organize the traditional Orientation Committee, which took to task the inexperienced Freshmen and taught them the songs, cheers, and rules and regulations which they must know perfectly. The Sophomore Cotillion was our first social function. Harvey Dovis was appointed chair- man of the dance committee, and, with the whole-hearted cooperation which was to char- acterize this class through our remaining three years, the Cotillion was a grand success. It attracted one of the largest crowds for a dance of this type in Villanova's history. Athletically, the Class of 1938 contained probably the greatest collection of stars ever assembled together at Villanovo. These men were representatives of all fields of sporting endeavor. With the coming of fall we found Olivari, Stopper, Stoviak, Raimo, Rogers, Sher- lock, Belli, Earle, Nye, Melius, Missar, Rizzo, Hanna, McKenna, Volpe and Marquette repre- senting the doss on the gridiron. The wooden way borrowed Brennan and McNally, while Mc- Laughlin, Escott, Sheftic, Stoviak and Garbark were on the diamond. Fifty Few of us will forget that sparkling sixty- eight yord touchdown run by Rabbit Raimo or those long blasts from the baseball bats of Roy Stoviak and Mike Garbark, nor will we forget that muddy battle between the Sophomores and the Freshmen. In the extra-curricular activ- ities of the college the Class of '38 also showed the way. Debating, the various clubs, intra- murals, and all the publications at Villanova owe much to the ability and earnestness of the members of the class. These things are history and will remain with other memories of a Sophomore year in which the Class of '38 found recognition scho- lastically as well as in the fields of religion and social life. Much of the progress achieved by cur class is due in no little measure to Father Vrano who became moderator at the close of the Freshman year. Late in April the Sophomore Class elected its officers for the coming Junior year. John Simons, of the Engineering school, wos elected President; John McKenna, Arts school, Vice- President; William Durkin, Engineering school. Treasurer; and Henry Guckenberger, Education department. Secretary. Jordan Olivari, President Joseph Weber, Vice-President William Durkin, Treasurer Harvey Dovis, Secretory. ‘asoa je Survivors of three ycors. As Juniors UNDER the presidency of John L. Simons the Closs of 1938 enjoyed one of the most successful junior yeors ever experienced ot Villanova. He was assisted in his duties by Vice-President John McKcnno, Treasurer Williom Durkin and Secretary Henry Gucken- berger. Early in the year President Simons appointed the ring and blazer committees which were headed by Louis Biester and Joseph Weber, respectively. The satisfaction expressed by the members of the class concerning the quality of the blazers and rings shows how well they handled their difficult assignments. The first week of May was chosen os Junior Week, the high point of social activity in the life of o Villanova student. John W. Stahmann was appointed Chairman of the week, which opened on Monday morning, May 3rd, with Mass and the Flag Raising. Following these was the planting of the class ivy near the west wing of Austin Hall by Father McKee and the dedication of the closs tree in back of the Commerce building by Father Bartley. Monday and Tuesday of the week were given over to a general Open House. All the lab- oratories of the Science School and the En- gineering School were opened to the visitors for whom many elaborate and interesting dis plays were provided. Monday was Mothers' Day and in the afternoon the mothers of the students were conducted through the exhibits and then given a luncheon in the college dining hall. Lcfr to Right: John Simons, President; John McKenna, Vice-President; Henry Guckenbergcr, Secretary; Williom Durkin, Treasurer. Fifty- 0“' Patrick Kelly was Chairman of Open House, and William Corkhill took care of the arrange- ments for Mothers' Day. Daniel O'Connor had been appointed Chairman of the Junior Prom; Leonard Connelly was chosen to preside over the Blazer Ball Committee; and Paul Skelly wos selected to head the Dinner Dance Committee. The most eventful social function of the year, the Junior Prom, was held in the beauti- fully decorated Field House on Wednesday evening with Tommy Dorsey and his newly famous orchestra supplying the dance music. It was easily the most colorful affair in the history of the class. On Friday night the tra- ditional Blazer Ball, with the seniors as guests tock place in the gymnasium, while the Dinner Dance in the Hotel Philadelphia served as a fitting climax to the year's activities.

Scholastically it was one of hard yet interesting work; athletically Villa- novo rode the crest of o victory wave; ond so- cially it wos a triumphant eight months. It was fitting that we should hove finished our collegiate days in such a way for it was a period that we shall always look back upon as one of the best of our lives and whose memorable events wc shall always cherish. A brilliant squad of senior footballers, headed by Co-Captains Jordan Olivari and John Melius, led Clipper Smith's eleven through the most successful season a Villanova team has ever had. Instrumental in all the Wildcat victories were the seniors. Veterans of two campaigns, their experience served them in good stead as they bowled over the stiffest of competition. Most glorious of all was the 33 to 0 rout of the arch- foe, Temple. Seniors Andy Stopper, Jack Earle, Bill Rogers, and Alex Belli scored touchdowns to wind up their participation in this traditional rivalry in the best manner possible. Soon after the close of the gridiron season plans for the gala senior week-end were formu- lated. President Joseph Weber announced the appointment of Louis J. Biester as Chairman of the Belle Air Ball and Andrew Conte os head of the Dinner Dance Committee. Through the ef- forts of these men the seniors enjoyed two of the grandest and most memorable social functions of our college days. The Belle Air Ball, held on Friday, February 25, was the highlight of the year. At this affair Fiftr the class presented Leith Stevens and his CBS Swing Club Orchestra in his initial appearance at any college dance. The smooth swingy rhythms dispensed by this aggregation pleased the many couples who attended the affoir. The feature of the evening's dancing was Mr. Steven's beautiful rendition of Villanova's own Belle Air Waltz. Once again the committee effected a mogical transformation by turning the Field House into the gorgeous dance palace that it wos. The decorations, in the form of the new false ceiling and a fountain, surpassed in beauty even those of last year's Junior Prom. The final social activity of the Senior Class wos the annual Dinner Dance which took place at the Arcadia International Restaurant in Philadelphia. The dinner was excellent, the music furnished by Bunny Bcrigan and his lads was pleasing, and our social season as a class ended with the greatest of successes. Lest it seem os if too much emphasis has been placed on sports and social functions, we need only recall the scholastic feats of such men os Bob Connolly, Jake Simons, Jordan Oli- vari, Vince Ciacci, Lou Curtis and a host of others and of the Senior Class as a whole. And so, having lived with and shared in the joys and sorrows of our fellow men here at Vil- lanova, we have come to a fuller appreciation of the meaning of the term friendship ; on appreciation that can only be gotten by living in close communion with our fellow beings and applying those rules of life which we have gleaned from our books and experiences.

WE HAD completed our sophomore year ot Villanova and we looked forward towards a rather active year os members of the Junior Closs. Only one who has achieved the honor can appreciate the student's feeling of exhil- aration when he reaches his junior year in college. Ahead lay dances, balls, blozers, rings and Junior Week—in short, a big social year. We had elected our officers ot the end of the sophomore year—Donald Mackowski, Pres- ident; James Quigley, Vice-President; Robert Howe, Treasurer; and James O'Brien, Secretary. Frank Mozzi, William Word and Robert Barrett represented the class on the Student Council. Within o very short time a committee, headed by William Leahy, was chosen to handle our first function, the purchasing of class rings. Fittings were taken, patterns agreed upon, kinds of gold ond types of stone selected—all in such a satisfactory manner that the members of the class were wearing their rings by Christmas. A few weeks loter the Blazer Committee, under the direction of Martin Kossell, was an- nounced by President Mackowski. The commit- tee soon got to work and selected a tailoring house to supply us with our blazers. The class was given a choice of three different styles in a sport back or a plain back. The usual measurements and individual fittings were One Hundred Eight CLASS HISTORY made, and shortly after Easter the blue and white blazers were delivered. Now bring on Junior Week! The long anticipated week of May 2nd finally arrived, and Thomas Carbine, who had been appointed Chairman of Junior Week, soon got things running smoothly. The celebration of o Solemn High Moss and the raising of the flag formally opened the ceremonies. The festivities started with a Mothers' Day program conducted by Al Holl. Parents were taken on a tour through the buildings and around the campus, and this was followed by a buffet luncheon in the college dining hall. On Wednesday evening the Villanovans under the baton of Bert Passanante supplied the dance melodies for the Blazer Ball. This dance was under the direction of John D'lppolito. At this function the seniors, guests of the evening, were given a formal farewell by the Junior Closs. But the high spot of the week, as olwoys, was the Junior Prom. The Field House, changed into a marvelously decorated boll room, with a huge sound-proof curtain hanging from ceiling to floor, was a perfect setting for the music of Hal Kemp and his orchestra. Vocal renditions were made by Maxine Grey, Bob Allen and Saxey Dowell. Tom Furcy and his committee worked feverishly to moke the dance the success that it was. Junior Week ended the following night with our Junior Dinner Dance which was held at an outstanding country club. This affair was directed by Rene Cailliet and his committee. In the field of athletics we were well rep- resented. On the gridiron we had All-Amer- ican Johnny Wysocki, Matty Kuber, Bob Buckley and Bill Cochrane. Art Vigilante, Jim Montgomery, Lou Dubino, Johnny Krutulis and Lou Wannamacher were representatives of the Junior Class on the basketball court. To the baseball team we gave Lenny Merullo, Frank Crawley, Joe Desmond, Jim Schclle and Harry Matsingcr. So socially, athletically and scholastically it was a big year for the Class of 1939. Our whole-hearted thanks end appreciation are ex- tended to Father Lunney, our moderator. Much of the success of the whole year was due to his efforts. Our constant friend and counsellor, we cannot fail to remember him throughout the years. Nine Snow white ond the seven dwarfs . . . oops my dear . . . gridiron g . . . Gentleman Joe Rossi . . .

Moderator Left to Right: Eugene Ertle, Vice-President; Wil- liam Leon, President; Bernard Bcllev, Treawrer; Chorlet Cavanaugh, Secretary. TWO years have now passed since the ambitious students, known as the Class of 1940, entered the portals of Villanova to seek a liberal education. Returning to school in the fall os sophomores brought with it the pleasant experiences of joyful greetings and the renewal of old friendships. Toward the end of our freshman year we had elected five members of the class to act as officers. Due consideration was given the personal char- acteristics of the men chosen in order that the destinies of our class would be captained by the best we had available. Elected as President was William Leon of the Science School; as Vice- President, Eugene Ertle of the Arts School; as Secretary, Charles Cavanaugh, Jr., of the School of Commerce and Finance; as Treasurer, Bernard Bellew of the Science School; and as Student Coun- cil representative, Edwin Hanlon of the Science School. Our newly organized Orientation Committee soon became engrossed in its program of good- natured retaliation by introducing the new crop of freshmen to the college that was to be their home for the next four years. While the white caps put the Frosh through the traditional ordeals, the Sophomore Cotillion Committee was making plans for the first social One Hundred Tw«l� e CLASS HISTORY function of the year. The Cotillion was held in the Field House on the night of October 8 with the Villanovans supplying their distinctive music. So- cially, the affair was an appropriately gala wel- come to the Freshman Class. Financially, the net returns were exactly double the former high record. The money was used to establish a scholarship fund to perpetuate the memory of the Class of '40. There was a fly in the pie when the annual Freshman-Sophomore Field Day arrived. We seem inclined to set up not only commendable precedents but also precedents of indifference. The compara- tively small number of us that did turn out that drenching day were soundly plastered—with mud, of course. In all the fields of extra-curricular activities our men assumed positions of prominence. The debat- ing society and the Belle Masque are two of the organizations that achieved greater success be- cause of their sophomore representation. In athletics we can well offord to boast of our record. Few will deny that the sophomores do not deserve a lorge share of the laurels heaped upon the varsity football team. Such men as DiFilippo, Nowak, Howlett, Cook, Chisick, Bukofski, Monaco and Mazzei played prominent parts in putting Villanova on the map of the football world. Duke Duzminski, Mike Lazorchak and Bill Sinnot in basketball; and Bill Guiteras, Barney Bcllcw and Whitey Urbellis in track were olso outstanding. Another noteworthy achievement was in intra-mural basketball. The Austin Hall team, winner of the championship, was composed entirely of sopho- mores. Approximately fifty per cent of the men in varsity basketball, track, swimming, baseball, and on the 150 lb. team were men of our class. With the year drawing to a close, we feel that we successfully maintained the high standards set by preceding classes, and in some instances sur- passed it. As the curtain on the second act of the drama falls, we are looking forward and wondering what the junior year holds in store for us. From present indications the class should succeed in all its undertakings, especially if the cooperation ex- perienced this year is carried into the future. Hundred Fourteen FRESHMAN Rev. John R. Dunne, O.S.A. Moderator QEPTEMBER once again found a new crowd of hopeful youths awaiting the beginning of the semester at Villanova College, this time the future class of 1941. We hod heard numerous talcs about the treatment of new students— tales that left us somewhat uncertain os to whot to expect, but hoping for the best. We were totally unprepared, however, for the storm which descended upon us. Immediately following our matriculation and religious regis- tration, the Orientotion Committee took us in hand. The members of this group equipped us with the traditional Regs and gave us quite a friendly welcome. They were our first tutors; they were the first to teach us the wisdom of obeying Frosh rules and regulations. These very same fellows helped us to acquire the hello habit. Long before our first class began, we hod mastered the songs and cheers of our new Alma Moter. Cheer rallies found us yelling our heads off in support of the Wildcats . Our efforts must hove been successful, for the varsity teams enjoyed their best seasons in many a year. Soon, all too soon, class schedules were made up, and we were launched into a smoothly flowing routine before we quite realized it. The first classes were the most difficult, but, like the wearer of the memorable seven league boots, we took everything in stride, and it was no time before we were able to recite without that un- easiness common to most new students. Realizing that class work alone does not make for a well rounded development, and yet not minimizing studies, the members of our class were soon active in the sphere of extra- curricular activities, establishing our teams among the best. The unblemished record of the Frosh football squad is happily consistent with the mightiest varsity ever produced at One Hundred CLASS HISTORY Villonovo. The staffs and rosters of the various campus publications and organizations are studded with the names of fellow classmen. Socially, we made our debut at the Sophomore Cotillion, and feel that we did better than hold our own with the upperclassmen. For a long time those merciless sophomores had been reminding us of the annual Field Day which was soon to come around. Finally the eventful day in November arrived. It was a gloomy, damp morning, but our spirits were far from depressed os we swept onto the field and jarred the sophomore class from its lofty perch. How we delighted in our revenge as we pushed them time and again into the muck and mire of the pool. As a reward for our winning the classic, the wearing of the distinctive Regs was abandoned. We were ot lost recognized as an integral part of Villanova College. Soon after this came Thanksgiving and finally the long awaited Christmas holidays. Words would fail to describe this most welcome vacotion. The new year found us back again, confident now that we could see it through. Mid-year exams came and went, leaving a few of us by the woysidc, but we soon forgot these trials in the excitement of our mid-winter activities. Winter and its indoor sports govc way to spring. Green landscapes and blossoming trees reminded us that June was fast approaching. Final exams, so long a distant dream, at last became a reality. With the completion of our first year, we ore looking forward with anticipation to our next three years at Villanova. 0«e Hundred Seventeen Posed by a professional model . . . black and white ... a load of bag- gage . . . closs informality . . . ever thus to tyrants . . . bottoms up . . . all dressed up ... a prize winner . . . down but not out . . . bugle call rag . . . looking down on life . . . the Mendel sextette . . . bared teeth and chest . . . pillars of humanity ... at the ball game ... the first football lineup.

At the start of the first quarter, the Blue team pounced upon their hosts and succeeded in pushing over a six-pointer. The score was made possible by the kick-blocking twins, Wysocki ond Melius, who stopped a Detroit punt, Raimo recovering the ball on the Detroit nineteen yard line. The touchdown came five plays later on a pass from Stopper to Roimo. Wysocki added the seventh point. In the second half, the fighting Detroiters put on a blazing forward poss attack, and only the stout-hearted defensive ploy of the Main Liners pulled the game out of the fire. In the last quarter, Detroit made a first down on the Villanova five yard line. After three plays failed, Larson took the ball on an end-around, but he was tackled so viciously by Howlctt ond Roimo that he fumbled. Melius recovering on the one yard line.

From this point until about the middle of the third quorter, the teams were evenly matched, with punting featuring the play on both sides. The Villa- novans started rolling, however, ond it was only a matter of time until they scored. Stoviak faded back to the Boston forty yard mark and threw a poss to Wysocki, who made o brilliant catch on the 'Terrier goal. Two serious threats by Boston were turned back when Nechtem and Blazynski were tackled after thrilling runs. When in their own territory, the defensive supremacy of the Cats showed itself.

When the days returns were in, that loss was completely forgotton in o 33 to 0 Wildcat victory. Five touchdowns, accounted for by Wysocki, Belli, Stopper, Earle and Rogers, and three conversions told the tale. The first of the five tallies came on a quick pass from Stopper to Wysocki in the Temple end zone. A little later, Stopper threw another poss, this time to Belli who was waiting in touchdown territory. Stopper took part in the third tally by receiving a forward pass from Stoviak and dashing thirty yards to score. Howlett passed to Earle in the final quarter to add another six points.

The unheralded aggregation got off to a fast start when it shellacked Rider College in the Villanova Field House to the tune of 68 to 39. Led by Duke Duzminski, who established a new scoring record for the gym when he split the cords for twenty-one points, the boys in Blue gave fair warning to all future opponents that they were not to be trifled with. To prove that they were really in earnest the cord swishers met and defeated Baltimore University, Albright and Moravian in thot order. The attack in each game was sparked by Montgomery, Vigilante and Lazorchak. St. John of Annapolis fared no better thon the previous four adversaries os the fifth straight victory was chalked up for the Main Liners. Sinnott's long reach uted to advantage. Having proved their ability at home, Villanova took to the road to display its wares to the New England fans. Avenging the defeat of the previous year, the Villanova five took the measure of the Springfield team by a score of 47 to 36. Two nights later, Duz- minski led the ball-hawks to a victory over Assumption College. The third and final game of this trip found the Cats battling it out on the wooden way with Boston University. Despite a half-time disadvantage, Villanova put on the pressure in the last four minutes and added o 41 to 35 victory to its string. On the first Saturday after the Christmas vacation, the team journeyed to Bethlehem to play Lehigh. Trailing throughout three- quarters of the game, the Villanovans put on a belated rally to nose out the Engineers, 31 to 27. Dickinson, Catholic University and Western Maryland were the next three victims to be flattened by the Villanova steam-roller. Again, Montgomery and Duzminski furnished the scoring punch.

Gcnevo College went down before the Wi dcat attack to the tune of 43 to 32, but the next night the 'Cats lost for the first time in fourteen starts. The Westminster aggregation came from behind in the last five minutes to register the initial setback of our quintet by a score of 44 to 38. Not discouraged by this de- feat, the Villanovo team overcame a 19 to 11 half-time disadvan- tage to nose out Duqucsnc 33 to 32 on the latter's floor in Pittsburg. Going to Chester for their fourth game of the week, the Main Liners had an easy time of it in trouncing P. M. C. by the one-sided score of 56 to 38. Before twelve thousand cheering fons, the Cats plucked a feather from the Temple Owl , later rated national champion, when, paced by the inimitable Duzminski, Villonova scored eight points in the lost six minutes to Temple's none to cinch the game. This was the victory of the season. Although Krutulis scored thirteen points, the fast-moving Fordham Rams became the second team to interrupt the Wildcats winning streak. It was a hard fought gome, but at the end of forty minutes the score-boord ot the Philadelphia Arena read Fordhom 40, Villonova 37. Ursinus, Muhlen- berg, P. M. C. and Dickinson were taken into camp in that order. Montgomery and Duzminski agoin proved to be the big guns of the Villonova attack. When the smoke of these four encounters had passed away. Coach Al Severance found that his team had an enviable record of twenty wins and two defeats. Not since the gymnasium at New York University had been built in 1932 had its basketball team lost a home game, running up a string of forty-seven consecutive victories on that floor. It was generally thought that Villonova would be another victim, but the New Yorkers' had not expected such opposition as they received that night. The Violets went down 30 to 27 as the Cots clearly out fought and out played the great N. Y. U. quintet. C. C. N. Y., however, upheld the reputation of the Metropolitan area by taking the measure of the Blue by a score of 46 to 27. But the team was in no way as badly outclassed as the score might indicate. St. Francis College of Brooklyn placed the fourth defeat on the Wildcats card by a 43 to 37 score. Rutgers ond Providence College proved to be victims Nos. 23 and 24 for the Villanovo game bag. Montgomery tied the record for the Villonova Field House when he swished twenty-one points through the hoop in the latter game. The Cats suffered their fifth and final defeat at the hands of St. John's of Brooklyn when they lost 31 to 28. It wasn't until the last two minutes thot the Brooklyn team forged ahead to victory. The final game of the season found Al Severance's boys breezing through Albright by a score of 49 to 35 at the latter's gym in Reading. The final check-up revealed that the Villanovo quintet had gained twenty-five victories against five defeats for a very success- ful season. Through this enviable performance, the Wildcats have placed the name of Villanovo among the leading basketball teams in the East. All the members of the squad are deserving of much praise, but Montgomery and Duzminski should especially be complimented on their splendid leadership throughout the season. Both men broke the previous scoring record for the district, Duz- minski getting 296 points and Montgomery, 268. Since all of the men on this year's squad arc undergraduates.

George Jacobs Coach CACED with a strong schedule comprising such collegiate baseball powers as Fordhom, Holy Cross, Princeton, Colgate, Penn State and Temple, Coach Doc Jacobs found himself well fortified with material capable of meeting any opposition. One man was lost by graduation, Leo Schoppmcycr, infielder, being the only senior on last year's squod. To replace this loss, Jacobs had at his call the veteran Fronds Cowboy Crowley, who saw much action at the second base post in his sophomore year. Other infielders report- ing at the first practice were Lcn Mcrullo, regular shortstop, Bobby Bond, first baseman, and Bobby Pash, Buzz Howlett and Walter Front Row (Left to Right’: Nowck, Howlett, Escoft, Mcrullo, Crowley, Bond, Sxcwcxyk, Matsingcr Standing ’Left to Right ’: Bobrowiki 'Mgr Vigilante, Gorbork, Sisco, Rice, Desmond, Mcloughlin ocncllc, Wonncmochcr, Choquctfc, Jocobs 'Coach . One Hundred Forty-two Nowak. The latter two gained fame as gridiron stars, and, as the diamond season opened, were making determined bids to crash the first string lineup in the third base position. Howlett's superior hitting gave him the nod over the other two in the opening contest, but Posh and Nowok were still definitely in the picture. As to outfielders. Captain Ray Stoviak, Lou Wannemacher and Walt Sheftic, veterans all, returned to duty, with Lloyd Rice, a sophomore, representing the newcomers in the outfield. Durable Mike Garbark returned to take up the cotching duties, with Art Vigilante, basketball star, his understudy. In the pitching depart- ment, hurlers galore met the eye with Frank Quack Escott, Will McLaughlin, Joe Desmond and Jim Schelle all returning, and Wee Cliff Choquctte and Andy Sisco coming up from the undefeoted 1937 freshman team. Desmond and Schelle curved them in with the right arm, while the others were southpaws. With this wealth of material at hand, the Blue nine traveled to the lair of the Princeton 'Tiger fully determined to avenge the past season's 7 to 2 defeat served at the hands of Dick Bell and his mates. This ambition was thwarted, however, when a sixth- inning lapse resulted in a ten run scoring spree by the home team to spoil a close 3 to 1 game and make it an 11 to 3 rout. After Villanova scored a run in the third inning and Princeton had tied it up in the following frame. Captain Stoviak and his cohorts took the lead in the fifth, with Stoviak's triple to deep left field scoring Mcrullo for the Wildcats' second run of the game.

The following day saw a fully determined band of players travel tc Franklin Field for the annual tilt with Pennsylvania's Red ond Blue forces. The day was rainy but that did not affect the Wild- cats for they rallied in the ninth inning to score four runs and take the contest by a 10 to 7 score. Choquctte started the fray but was relieved by Schelle in the eighth, the latter receiving credit for the victory. Wannemacher and Stoviak led the hitting for the winners, the former getting two home runs and the latter con- tributing a homer and a double to figure prominently in the scor- ing. Captain Stoviak's double set the stage for Wannemacher's second homer in the ninth. In all, thirteen hits were gathered by the winning nine, Wannemacher, Shcftic, Mcrullo, Stoviak and Bond each getting two binglcs, while Crowley, Vigilante and Howlett con- nected for one apiece.

Old Man Weather then took a hand in the Villonovo baseboll activities by causing the Ursinus and St. John's games to be can- celled. Cold, biting winds made it impossible to play the Bears at Collegeville, while rain and fog marred the day of the scheduled St. John's encounter. This left the minions of Doc Jacobs with a ten day rest to prepare for the oncoming of Western Maryland's Green Terrors and the City College of New York nine, two new- comers on the strong Main Liners schedule, the successful com- pletion of which will label the Villonovo aggregation one of the outstanding collegiate teams in the East. 1938 SCHEDULE Villonovo Opponents 3 Princeton .............................

The track squad has shown up well in the indoor meets this winter and will be greatly aided by the new material coming up from lost year's freshmen. Elliott entered the tcom in the Penn A. C. meet at Convention Hall in February. This gave the new members a chance for seasoning. The mile relay squad, composed of Barney Bellew, Tony Petril, Bill Dobbins and Bill Guiteras, gave George- town a grueling duel on the boards. They lost out to Georgetown but had the consolation of beating Temple. Harvey Buek, succeeding Tom Cook as captain, ran in the 50 yard high hurdles along with Bill Meehan. They were shut out, how- ever, by such runners as Spec Towns and Allan Tolmich, both world record holders. Art Murphy was eliminated from the high jump when he failed to clear 6 ft. 3 in. Johnny Maher, a freshman, placed second in the 50 yard dash. He defeated such runners as Peacock and Marty Glickman. Urbellis wos eliminated in the quarterfinals. Tom McCabe ran in the 880, but was not in shape and made only a fair showing. Elliott took a relay squad to Nework for the Seton Hall indoor meet. Barney Bellew led off against Temple, Seton Hall and St. Peter's. Mc- Cabe ran second, handing the baton to Dobbins.

So the Wildcats had to be content with taking second. Traveling down to Washington, the squad com- peted in the Catholic University indoor meet. Tony Petril, regaining his old stamina, outclassed the whole field in the 50 yard Invitation. He won the Abbey Trophy outright for this event. Johnny Maher, freshman sensation, could not enter the Invitation but ran in the open 50 yord Handicap. He easily won this while equalling the old record. Harvey Buek lost out in the high hurdles when he tripped on the second borrier. Bill Meehan was eliminated in the same event. Tom McCabe was up against stiff competition in the 1000 yord Invitation and placed fourth. The relay team ran second to Georgetown in its heat, but lost out on time and failed to bring home ony medals. 1938 SCHEDULE Penn A. C.

One Hundred Forty-seven gOXING Coach Ray Gadsby found himself con- fronted with the task of replacing two sterling boxers when the first call for ringmen was issued. The two absentees were Tony Sola and Jack Jaro- sik. The outlook was bright, however, for Captain Bill Duffy, Bob Mcntzinger and Eddie Kirk, cham- pions all, had returned, and it was around these three that the mentor built his team. On February 9, Miami University invaded Vil- lanova to open the season. When the final bout was over, the Blue was on the winning end of a 6 to 2 score. Mulroy met defeat at the hands of Lovett in a very close 115 lb. battle in the opening fight of the evening. Ariano then evened up the score by winning a decisive victory in the 125 lb. class.

The following Saturday, the boxers traveled to Washington to meet the strong Catholic University team, ond when the totals were received Villanova had lost by a 6 to 2 count. Mulroy fought a losing fight, and the Catholic U. boxers took a three to nothing lead by virtue of Ariano's loss and a for- feit in the 135 lb. class. Captain Duffy continued his win streak by defeating Captain Mix. Ment- zinger dropped the 155 lb. bout ond Nojunas made the score 4 to 2 when he overcame Stant. Morkum, a newcomer, lost to Catholic's Turner in the 165 lb. tussle, and Killian lost to Kotalinas in the final of the evening. City College of New York came to the Villanova campus and tied the local lads at 4 to 4. Mulroy won over Lubansky, Ariano dropped his second straight, and Hincy, in the 135 lb. class, lost to Klein. Captain Duffy won again and Mcntzingcr defeated Grojenski. Nojunas won his bout, but Pis- cione ond Killian were defeated. Columbus University visited the Wildcat lair and went home nursing a 6 to 2 defeat. Mulroy lost o close fight to Marker, but Ariano got the point back by trouncing Morse.

VV ITH the return of six lettermen, Villanova's rac- W queteers are anticipating a banner campaign on the cloy courts. Despite loss of Lloyd Rice, Maryland interscholastic champion, who went to the baseball squad, the team, under the guidance of Saul Wallach, captain-manager, has come a long way from the raw and inexperienced aggregation which carried Villanova's colors through last season's wars. In 1937, after losing the first five contests, the team came back to triumph in the last three frays. Last year's lettermen, Saul Wallach, Leonard Weinfield, Bert Wallenbach, Dennis Dunn, Fred Rapplcyca and Bert Cousart, together with John Leary, will be used in singles matches the greater port of the season. Other varsity members are Edgar Gibson, Witold Kryzwicki and Beatty Schermerhorn. A schedule has also been arranged to enable the junior varsity to engage in outside competition. One Hundred Fifty 1937 SCHEDULE DURING 1937 the Villanova golf team enjoyed a very successful season. Of the eight matches the Wildcats won five, tied one, and lost two. The ma- jority of the members were seniors so the prospects for this year were not overly encouraging. However, in Captain Jim Dwyer and Lou Dubino, they had two experienced men around whom to build for the present campaign. The outlook was brightened by the appear- ance of very good material in the freshman and sopho- more classes. There is at present a wide open fight among Morse, Randolph, Cullan, Merko, Roche and McManus for the remaining positions on the team. From the appearances of these men we can look forward to another successful season this year. In the first match of the present campaign the boys, playing without the services of Jim Dwyer, lost to St. Joseph's, 5 to 4. Considering the handicap, this show- ing was very good and we can expect better things in the future. A formidable schedule has been arranged for this season, including Hoverford, Temple, Fordham, Rider and N. Y. U., the lotter being the only newcomer. The growth of the golf team in the last few years is indeed gratifying. Having no coach and no home course its showing has been excellent. The linksmen have met the best and their standing gives Villanova just cause to be proud. The interest that has been evidenced by the student body in the past few years instills great hope for the future of Villanova golfing.

WITH Ruggio Flocco at the helm, the Villanova natators embarked on one of the toughest swimming schedules in the history of the sport at the college. The higher caliber of the teams engaged and the keener competition faced was evidenced by the lowering of no less than six pool records during the course of the campaign. Meeting the University of Pennsylvania the Villanova tankmen were defeated by a strong Red and Blue team. In- spired by Coach Flocco's debut upon the campus the boys in blue traveled to New York to down a strong Fordham squad for their initial victory of the season. Returning to the Metropolitan area two days later, the Villanovans were sent down to defeat by St. Francis College of Brooklyn. On the following day, the Cots submerged the Swarthmore College natators for their second victory. In the meet with Rider College at the Villanova pool, the Wildcats were barely beaten out by the Trenton team. The final meet of the season found the Villanovans being nosed out by Penn Stote. With the score tied going into the final event, the Penn Staters established a new pool record in the four hundred yard rcloy to win the meet.

Playing against experienced teams, the courageous 150 lb. team lost to Lafayette 6 to 0, Rutgers 25 to 0, and Prince- ton 13 to 0, in three hard fought battles. Strengthened by the experience gained in these games, the team lost o heart rending 20 to 13 decision to Yale. Villanova's representatives were the first to score on the Elis all season. The climax of the season wos a smashing 20 to 0 victory over Pennsylvania. Too much credit cannot be given the boys for these lotter accomplishments. Riddled by injuries, they were not at full strength for cither skirmish, but the courage and fighting spirit that is characteristic of Villonova carried them on. They presented a stonewall defense and a whirlwind attack that could not be denied. Donold Bongert Cooch ■i --.-. Front Row i Left to Right': Domcnick, J. Murphy, Quinn, Timmins, Widmonn, Brown, H.

Despite early seoson injuries, he went on undaunted and his flaming spirit kept up the morole of the teom. He was o tower of strength on the defense and the spark of the offense.

Teams representing Dickinson Seminary, Du Pont Y. M. C. A. ond Temple were met and conquered. Dickinson Seminary, furnished the opposition in the first Villanova Frosh game in five years, and was easily defeated by a 27 to 0 score. Basca, the outstanding yearling footballer of the year, led the conquest by throwing passes to Kolenda and Yankauskas for two of the four touchdowns scored against the Seminarians . He proved his versatility by running around end for twenty-five yards and a score, and converting three points after the tallies. Shader, conny field general, sneaked over the Dickinson goal line for the final score after a blocked kick set the stage. Rainy weather welcomed the boys when they faced the strong Du Pont Y. M. C. A. In a field reduced to a quagmire, the Blue team splashed through a 13 to 0 score. Again Basca dominated the play, tallying all thirteen points, and generally making himself useful. He counted the first touchdown on a fifty yard run through the mire, aided materially by the blocking of Ryan. Later he plunged over from the one yard line after lead- ing a sustained drive from deep in Kitten terri- tory. To conclude his efforts for the game, he converted the extra point. Due mainly to Basca's fine passing, running and kicking, Temple's Owlets were defeated under the arc lights by a score of 16 to 7. This wos the first defeat in twenty-three games for the Broad Streeters . Passes to Kolenda and Yankauskas, ond a field goal, all by Basca, helped wind up a most successful season. From the fine group of freshman gridders, Clipper Smith will find many good men to replace the departing seniors. SCHEDULE V.C. Opp. Dickinson Seminary 27 0 Du Pont Y. M. C.

Working together as if they were veterans the frosh quintet early in the campaign turned back the Naval Hospital, Philadelphia Business School and Norristown Y. M. C. A. The Naval Hospital lost by a 36 to 15 score; the Business School wos sent back with a 26 to 21 defeat; and the Y. M. C. A. was downed to the tunc of 37 to 19. For the next four games the Kittens enter- tained three squads from New Jersey and the intra- mural basketball champions of last year. Roeb ling A. C. was the first of the New Jersey quintets to taste defeat at the hands of the yearlings, losing 37 to 24. Then the Mendel Day Hops were set back by a score of 36 to 26. Following these, Springfield A. C. and Audubon Catholic Club, both from Jersey, were defeated by decisive scores. Norristown Y. M. C. A. again tasted defeat, this time on its own floor. Setting a fast pace for their big brothers in the preliminary at Ursinus, the first year men gained a 34 to 21 decision over the Ursinus freshmen. Like the Vorsity the Frosh showed Temple their heels and ran up a 34 to 28 victory. Winding up the season by defeating the Cosmos Club, the freshman quintet had a total of 648 points to the opponents' 393 points. If the ability shown by Morris, Yund, Nugent and Murphy on the offensive ond Vcnci and Col- bert on defense work is retained next year.

A S USUAL, Doc Jacobs was faced with the task of molding a new freshman nine to uphold the name of Villanova in baseball circles. To insure success, the mentor appointed Johnny Krutulis, star varsity basketecr, to take charge of the freshman aggregation while he handled the varsity. Krutulis found at his disposal o group of willing and able workers who promised to con- tinue the success of the previous year's unde- feated freshman team, which included in its list of victims such outstanding nines as Peirce School, Temple Frosh and the perennial strong Northeast Catholic High School. Outstanding in the pitching department report- ing for work were two Connies, O'Lcory ond Nich- olas. Nicholas tossed curves from the left side of the pitching mound, while O'Lcory threw the horschide in the orthodox manner. It was around these two thot the coach built his hurling staff. In the other half of the battery were two able can- didates, Jack Murphy and Johnny McKee. The latter was late in reporting due to spring football training, but when he came around for duty, the battle between the two wos carried to the end of the short but strenuous season. In the outfield, three sterling gordeners patrolled the outer pas- tures. All of them hailed from Massachusetts, and were, from left field to right field, John Dono- ghue, Chick Morris, and George Belmore. Morris won his spurs on the basketball court, and showed himself to be a good baseballer also. Belmore ond Donoghue demonstrated an ability to take care of themselves in any company. It wos in the infield that the greatest problem faced the freshman mentor, for at the first call only one candidate presented himself for action. A first baseman by occupation John Thomo repre- sented the inner defense of the yearling aggrega- tion. However, with subsequent calls for material, a representative group came forth, and by the time the first game wos to be played a team worthy of wearing the Blue trotted out on the field. Due to the fact that the freshman teams of Villanova had in the past shown such strength— the yearlings have been undefeated through the lost four years—Coach Krutulis found it difficult to schedule opponents for the Kitten nine, but the boscballers of the Class of '41 did not grow stale for want of action, for they played the Vor- sity in daily workouts shortly after they reported for duty at the conclusion of the Easter vacation. One Hundred FiHy-w Intra - Murals Rev. Edward B. McKee, O.S.A. Director IN THIS, the sixth year of its short life, the intra- mural program reached a new high. The six teams which represent each of the dormitories and the two day student groups showed added interest in the activities, and, as a result, the events were more closely contested than in previous years. Due to the premature cold weather, the fall tennis tournament had to be postponed, so that the intra-mural card was opened by the most popular of all the sports on the program—basketball. Villanova's Hank Luisetti's started the season when the defending champions, the Mendel Day Hops, defeated the C. F. Day Hops 48 to 23. In this game the Mendel Commuters stamped themselves as important contenders for the cham- pionship which they had won the last two years. In the second gome of the evening a powerful Fedigan team defeated Austin 31 to 18, thus giving notice that they were also out for the cham- Lcft to Right: Abbott, Dolino, Rosenberg, Hoff- mann, O'Connor, Thorn, Keating, Murphy, Bcittcnmillcr. MENDEL DAY HORS One Hundred Fifty-seven COMMERCE AND FINANCE DAY HOPS pionship. These two outfits bottled on even terms until the lost gome of the holf when Fedigon de- feated the Day Hops 27 to 25. This win gave them the first holf crown. The drama found its way into the intra-mural program on Wednesday evening, December 15, and those who attended went away convinced that our amateurs were beyond reproach. After much debating, the judges decided that Ed Cogon's Alumni production deserved top honors with Austin Hall's Robert Taylors a close second. The next event to gleam in the spot-light was swimming. Out of the splatter, splash and mist the Mendel Day Hops come out the victors, with Fother McKee's Austinites following close on their heels. The Intra-Mural Boxing Show was given much advance publicity by the newspapers but none of them predicted so fine a showing as was seen by the capacity crowd that packed the Field House that night. Among the celebrities to attend the festivities were Gerry Nugent of the Phillies; Connie Mack of the Athletics; Marty McLaughlin, Director of the Deportment of Public Works; and Tommy Loughran, one of the outstanding boxers of all time. Tommy refereed one of the bouts. The first bout found All Holl of the Mendel Day Hops matched with Dick Archer of the Light- house Boy's Club. The fight was very even but Hall was given the decision because of his aggres- siveness. Opening the intra-mural fights, Bill Dobbins, Austin's dark horse, vanquished Frank Hiney, of the Mendel Day Hops, in a fight in which each man was good although they both tired in the last round. In another interesting battle, Frank Mclagrana of Austin lost to Frank Bourus of Fcd- igan, much to Father McKee's chagrin. This bout was marked by good punching and clever in- fighting. At the end of the program it was found that Alumni's warriors, besides winning a few black eyes and sore noses, had won the boxing crown. After the Christmas vacation, the second half One Hundred Fifty-eight AUSTIN HALL of the basketball league began, and it proved to be even more closely contested than the first half. The race soon turned out to be a three club affair among Fedigan, Austin and the Mendel Doy Hops. The latter faded in the last stages and the two former teams ended the half in a tie. This neces- sitated a play-off which was won by Austin 25 to 23. The game for the championship brought to- gether the same two teams which had just met for fhe second half title. These contests were even more interesting than the first one. The opening game was on exciting affair that ended in a tie. The extra period was a free scoring one in which two field goals and a foul by Bradshaw cinched the game for Austin, 41 to 38. The second en- counter resulted in a win for Fedigan, 29 to 28. This game was marked by close guarding and cau- tious offensive tactics. Totin was outstanding for the West Enders with sixteen points. The final game of this hectic play-off was won by Austin, 33 to 27.

One Hundred Fifty-nine MENDEL RESIDENTS deserves mention, but two players, Joe Bochetto, Austin center, and Mike Totin, Fcdigan guard, deserve special recognition for their fine all around play. Following the custom started last year, the man- agers of the various teams competing in the league selected an All Intra-Mural Team. The men chosen for this honor were Dan Keating, Mendel Day Hops; Mike Totin, Fedigan; Joe Bochetto, Austin; Jim Dc Luca, Alumni; and Al Wood, Fedigan. Keating was the offensive star of the league, finishing second in scoring in the first half and winning first honors in the second half. Totin was the playmaker of the Fedigan team. When he was not scoring, he was busy feeding the other players. Bochetto, the only man on last year's All Intra-Mural team to repeat, wos the mainstay of the Austinmen, being a fine defensisve player and ball handler as well as a good shooter. De Luca was the spark plug of Alumni; he could always be counted on for a few impossible shots in every ball game. He was fast, aggressive and very hard to stop. The spring soon came with baseball, golf and tennis to occupy the time of the students. In baseball, the Fedigan team is all set to defend its laurels. It lost two good pitchers from last year's team, but from all reports it will have another fine group of hurlers. In the softball class, the Mendel Residents will have to go some to repeat their victory of last yeor. Later on in the year there will be two tennis tournaments, the first to take the place of the postponed fall one, and the other a regularly scheduled affair. The progress made by the intra-mural program in the lost two years has been extraordinary, and this is due in no end to the work of Rev. Edward B. McKee, O.S.A. He succeeded in arousing the interest of the student body and in successfully organizing each and every event.

T I O N S Rev. Daniel P. Folvcy, O.S.A. Moderator THE 1938 THE purpose of the Villanova Belle Air is to serve as a record of each graduating class and of the activities, scholastic, athletic and social, connected with that closs. The Villanovo annual has met with distinct success in the past. Fifteen volumes have gone before this one and all have been worthy of the great amount of praise given them. The 1937 edition of the Belle Air has been given All-American rating by the Nationo! Scholastic Press Association, the highest award which that association con bestow. It has been the task of the present editorial staff to record the history of the Closs of 1938. The job was not an easy one. Each page, eoch picture, each photograph called for definite planning and hard work by some member of the staff. But if the book serves as a reminder in loter life of the days spent at Villanova we will consider our labor well worth while. One important change has been incorporated in the present edition of the Belle Air. It is our belief that the various phases of college life con best be illustrated by means of pictures rather than by written words. So, in keeping with the modern trend, much more space has been devoted to pictures than in former years with a consequent cut in descriptive writing. The editor and his associates wish to express their appreciation ond thanks to the moderator of the Belle Air, Rev. Daniel P. Folvey, O.S.A, and to Rev. John J. Vrano, O.S.A., for their invaluable assistance. Junior members of the staff. One Hundred Siify- i 1 BELLE AIR John L. Simons College Editor John H. Wct cr Andre� N.

In that year the paper was under the editorship of Edmund J. Reilly. Since then the 1 publication was twice the recipient I of the coveted honor. Following the example set by his predecessor I John J. DiJoseph, editor-in-chief for the year 1935-1936, won the award during his term of office. The Villanovan continued to add to its prestige the following year when J. Benedict Maloney guided the newspaper to its third straight achievement in the jour- nalistic field.

Vol. 1—No. 1 JOURNAL HEADED BY CO-EDITORS For the first time in the history of the paper, the Villanovan will be under the direction of Co-edi- tors. So evenly matched in abil- ity and willingness to work were James P. Tofani and Robert G. Howe that it was deemed advis- able to select them both as lead- ers and directors of the weekly. Until this year, the paper had only one as Editor-in-chief, the most recent of which was Joseph Tol- and, recently retired. Previous to their appointment as leaders, the two chiefs had served three years as staff members of the journal, Howe holding the position of Copy Editor in his junior year, and Tofani performing the duties of College Editor at the same time. Under these two capable men, the paper should continue the success of the past few years.

Sanborn Business Monoger..........................Emil Mothios Faculty Moderator................John J. Vrana, O.S.A. UNDER the capable editorship of Joseph B. Sanborn, the Villanova Engineer retained its high place among the best Engineering College magazines in the country. Changes in the makeup and in the content of the magazine did much to improve its quality. Numerous articles of popular technical interest were presented in addition to news of various campus activities. In the first issue, 'The Modern Living Room in- augurated a series of articles based upon a new policy of reporting. The data in this and the ensuing stories was first-hand information gleaned from leading architects, industrialists and engineers in this vicinity. This group of articles was of great interest.

Dougherty, O.S.A.....Faculty Moderator FOLLOWING the policy adopted by lost year's editorial staff, the 1938 volume of the science magazine was pub- lished quarterly, thus giving more time to the students for scientific research and study. The present staff, under the direction of Vincent W. Ciacci, Chairman, has produced a magazine that has by far surpassed all previous volumes. The Mendel Bulletin last year won All-American roting in national competition, ond the object of the stoff has been to outdo its predeces- sor. The Bulletin has been in existence for ten years and is one of the outstanding accomplishments of the School of Science. It is bosed entirely on research and represents the findings of Villanova students in the realm of the bi- ologically related sciences. The magazine has, since its very beginning, been directed by Rev. Joseph M. Dougherty, O.S.A., Dcon of the School of Science. It has been through his efforts that the publication has grown to its present stature. Editing theses for the med- icol students' quarterly. One Hundred Seventy-one THE CHRISTIAN FRONT The Chrisrion Front broin trust—Bosil Dobrowolski, Richord Devcroll, ond Charles Cooke. THE Christian Front is distinctly a product of Villanova College even though it is not an official college publication. It first appeared in December, 1935, under the editorship of Dick Devcrall, its founder. A monthly magazine, it is dedicated to the dissemination of the principles enunciated by Popes Leo XIII and Pius XI and to a solution of social problems through Christian social justice. Today, the publication has a national circulation of five thousand copies monthly, as compared to the two hundred and fifty subscribers to the first issue. Three hundred additional copies go to Canada, Europe and other parts of the world. The Christian Front has been commended by Pope Pius through Car- dinal Pacelli, and is the sponsor of a peace movement personally endorsed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It has had such eminent contributors os: Governor Frank Murphy, Monsignor John A. Ryan, Senator Joseph O'Mahoney, Secretary of the Interior Harold lekes, Senator Lewis Schwel- lenbach. Rev.

C I A L BELLE AIR BALL Congratulationi to the Chairmon from on appreciative friend. Sweet melody—the Almo Motor. THE SENIOR FROLIC Interspacing gems of swing with soft melodies, the Swing Club Orchestra provided a striking con- trast to the garden-like decorations of the Field House. Fountains of silver spraying crystal-clear water over flowers of all descriptions, and dancing interpretations of melodic interludes transformed the surroundings into on entirely different atmos- phere. This, together with the gaiety of three hundred couples, effected one of the most socially successful Belle Air Balls. The stage, separated from the main ballroom and clothed in draperies of blue, deep maroon carpets, many lounges, and bathed with the frag- rance of roses, was the starting point of the tra- ditional march of the seniors. Licth Stevens raised his baton and with a dreamy rendition of the Belle Air Woltx the seniors and their partners were the center of attention as they paraded the length of the ballroom and assembled in front of the orchestro. Following the singing of the Alma Mater the group was honored by having the floor cleared for their dance. When finally the clock reached two, Lou Bicster and his committee were engulfed by enthusiastic compliments and after lingering moments and donning of coats and hats, the Belle Air Ball come to an end, Lieth Stevens and his boys returned to New York, and another Senior Boll went down into history.

THE JUNIOR PROM FOLLOWING the precedent set by 1 the seniors in their Junior Prom lost year, the Class of 1939 changed the traditional Friday night date to Satur- day in order that a more noted orches- tra could be procured. The result of this policy wos the music of Hal Kemp and his orchestra in a tastefully dec- orated Villanova Field House on Sat- urday, May 7. Amid the atmosphere of soft lights and sweet rhythms, the happy couples formed a pleasing pat- tern as they danced. The vocal refrains of the currently popular ballads, ren- dered by Bob Allen, Judy Storr and Soxie Dowell, found great favor with the assembled throng, and served to highlight this gala social affair. After the intermission, the Grand March— the event to which all juniors look for- ward throughout their college career— took place, ond to the accompaniment of the hearty applause of the other guests, the juniors paraded the length of the ballroom, concluding the march with the singing of the Alma Mater in front of the bandstand. Shortly ofter the strains of When the Summer Is Gone sounded throughout the hall marking the end of the highlight of the year's social activities.

Again the Villanovans held the musical spotlight and an enjoyable time was had by the large number of students and their friends who attended this affair sponsored by the engineers. Joseph Beittenmiller was chairman. Another hop was scheduled for the socially-minded Villanovans in the Lambda Kappa Delta Dance, but a disastrous fire, which completely destroyed the folse ceiling, compelled the college authorities to cancel the affair.

THE 1937-1938 school yeor brought in another regime to fill the vacated positions on the Student Council. The new members, together with those serving second terms, made this organization a governmental unit representative of oil upper classes and of all major Villanova societies and organizations. Progressive from the very start, the Council, under the direction of Edward Shovlin, efficiently discharged its prescribed duties and inaugurated certain functions enlarging its previous scope of activities. The traditional rally on the eve of the annual Villanova-Tcmple football classic, the pet venture of the Student Council, was a more sparkling success than any of the memorable rallies of post years. Other tasks of this body were those of super- vising the annual Freshman-Sophomore Field Day and the various class elections. The ease and precision which marked these customary proceedings deservedly won the praise of everyone concerned. To extend the welcome arm of sympathy to those who were so unfortunate as to lose some one dear to them, the Student Council put into operation a system whereby the entire student body jointly and individually expressed its condolences in the form of Spiritual Bouquets. Unwilling to rest on these achievements, the members of the Council submitted proposals to the authorities that would more closely link the students and the college administration, provide a better system of orientation, and broaden the Student Council's own functional powers.

Secretary Al Loun keeps tob of all business proceed- ings, makes appointments ond publishes the lists of servers. The organization has the Rev. Charles P. Brown, O.S.A., os its efficient and ever-helpful moderator. An innovation this year was the monthly quiz on questions pertinent to the society. This brought about o keen competitive spirit among the mony members for the prize to be aworded ot the end of the scholastic ycor. Questions for the tests were taken from the monthly talks given by the moderator. This society is one of the most active on the campus and hos done much to make the religious program successful ot Villanova.

President THIS society has for its aims the teaching and practice of respect for the Holy Name of Jesus and cleanness of speech in Catholic men. Every second Sunday of the month the large number of students enrolled in the organization assembles at Mass. After Mass, at which the members receive Holy Communion in a body and recite the Prayer Before the Crucifix, the society meets to discuss various pertinent matters. At the conclusion of the meeting, the Holy Name men adjourn to the dining hall where the Communion breakfast is held. Noted speakers are presented at each breakfast. This year the society numbered among its guests Coach Clipper Smith; the Very Rev. Joseph A. Hickey, O.S.A.; the Very Rev. Dunstan Dobbins, O.F.C.; Gerry Nugent, owner of the Philadelphia National League Baseball Club; Tommy Lovett, Evening Ledger sports writer; and Tommy Loughran. Under the leadership of William Bowker, President; George Bishop, Vice-Presi- dent, and Claude Van Hook, Secretary, and with the spiritual guidance of Rev. Charles P. Brown, O.S.A., the society prospered throughout the year. It is seriously considering the idea of joining the Philadelphia Holy Name Union. This would be a great step forward in the society's activities, since it is the first time that any such outside contacts were contemplated. It is hoped and expected that this move, if undertaken, will do much for the furtherance of the Holy Name Society at Villanova. One Hundred Eighty-six T HE Catholic Press Apostolate is a small group of students who carry on their ■ work very unobtrusively, and therefore its activities are not very well known to the general student body. Still this organization, the smallest on the campus, per- forms each year a duty which is very closely identified with the spirit of Villanova life. Its work is the work of Catholic Action and consists chiefly in the distribution of Catholic periodicals, newspapers and pamphlets. The limited membership of the Catholic Press Apostolotc includes Joseph J. Toland, M. Ward Scanlon, John L. Simons, James Donovan and John Rhoads. Under the direction of a new moderator. Rev. Edward B. McKee, O.S.A., Villa- nova's Catholic Press during the post year performed in its usually capable fashion. The posting of clippings of current religious topics on the various bulletin boards of the campus took on a new lease of life. The regular distribution of The Christian Front, America, Commonweal, ond the Brooklyn Tablet, the sending of many cur- rent Catholic publications to missions here in the United States, and the core of the pamphlet rack in the reor of the chapel were other duties undertaken by the group. The pamphlet rack this year was ougmented by many of the lotest up-to-date treat- ments of popular topics. Father McKee's seemingly inexhaustible store of excerpts from Cotholic and secular publications wos also of great assistance to the religious welfare of the students. CATHOLIC PRESS APOSTOLATE One Hundred Eighty teven THE Orientation Committee is one of Villanovo's oldest institutions. Its members are the outstanding men of the Sophomore Class chosen by the faculty from a list compiled by the moderator of the class. The primary purpose of the Committee is to introduce the members of the Freshman Class to their chosen Alma Mater; to help them become acclimated to their new surroundings; and to induce them to co- operate heartily in oil college interests and activities. Each member of the Committee gladly sacrificed three days before the formal opening of the college to assist the Frosh in getting an early start. Within a short period of time and without the customary hazing, the Frosh had learned to wear their regulation attire, to shout out the cheers and to sing the songs of Villanova. The success of the Committee is largely due to a new plan of organization introduced this year. Each white cop was assigned approximately ten freshmen for whose instruction and behavior he was responsible. To this plan is due the credit for the more personal and friendly functioning of the Committee. The Orientation Committee performed its duties well and cheerfully. Although they were at times unpopular with the freshmen, the members gave invaluable aid to the faculty in the first few days of registration. Eoch committeeman's white cap marked him as a distinguished sophomore upon whom Villanova had bestowed one cf its most prized honors.

GUIDED by J. Stanley Morehouse, moderator, and Emil Mathias, chairman, the Villanova student chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers enjoyed on active, successful and entertaining year. At the bi-weekly meetings, members of the group gave prepared talks and discussed topics dealing with mech- anical engineering. A few outside speakers were invited and some interesting moving pictures were shown. Aside from these meetings, the mechanicals made a number of trips to local industrial plants, including the Frankford Arsenal, the Baldwin Loco- motive Works in Chester, the Westinghousc steam turbine plant at Lester, the S. K. F. Ball Bearing Company, and the Philadelphia Gear Works. The chief social activity of the chapter wos the annual smoker at which there were games, refreshments and entertainment. This affair is an annual get- together to which student members of the A. S. M. E. from Swarthmorc, Penn- sylvania, Drexcl and other local colleges arc invited. On April 25 and 26, about twenty-five of Villanovo's budding mechanical engineers attended the Eostern Group conference ot the University of Pennsylvania. At this meeting the members were served luncheons, visited many plants in and around Philadelphia, and listened to some excellent papers prepared by the student engineers. Four cosh awards were made to those who govc the most interest- ing talks. Through the A. S. M. E. the undergraduates receive The Mcchonical Engineer , the official publication of the organization. The A. S. M. E. olso keeps the student engineers in close contact with the senior members of the society. One Hundred Eiahty nine A. S. C . E.

Joseph O'Brien President THROUGH the medium of trips to various engineering projects and through in- structivc papers presented at the bi-weekly meetings, Villonova's branch of the American Society of Civil Engineers did much to keep the civil engineering student up with the very latest in his field. M. Joseph O'Brien, President; Professor Thomas J. McCormick, Faculty Advisor; and Cyril Doly, Chairman of the Trip Committee, were the driving force behind the organization, and most of the success of the year's program is due to their efforts. The most important places visited by the Villanova civil engineers were the Baldwin Locomotive Works at Eddystone, Pennsylvania, the new Lincoln Tunnel in New York, and the Bethlehem Steel Company. The trip to the Baldwin Works, which inaugurated the scries, was one of the most interesting ever taken by the Society. The number in the group was the largest in the history of the chapter to make such o tour. The opportunity of inspecting the recently completed Lincoln Tunnel under the Hudson River was welcomed by the members, since it gave them an insight of a comparatively new type of construction job. Through the co-operation of Word Scanlon, Paul Kichinko, Paul Skelly and Joseph Gallagher the other important part of the chapter's activities, the bi-weekly meetings, turned out very successfully. These men presented some of the best papers read at the meetings during the post year. One Hundred Ninety THIS year the Villonovo branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers ■ added another achievement to its already long list. The organization was repre- sented at both the fall and spring conventions of the A. I. E. E. At the former the engineers were the guests of the University of Akron at Akron, Ohio, while Lehigh University played host during the spring meeting. On both of these trips moving pictures of o technical noture were token which were loter shown ond discussed ot the society's meetings. This wos not the full extent of the group's activities, however. The regular bi-weekly gatherings were held ot which student members read papers dealing with current topics in their own particular fields. Prominent men in the industrial world also addressed the group. Many of these talks were illustrated by moving pictures. During the year many tours of inspection were made through plants in this section of the country. All this, coupled with the training received at Villonovo, helped in giving the electricol engineers a fine foundation for the future. The success of the society was in no end due to the leadership of its chairman, John Courtin. He wos assisted by Vice-Chairman Furey, Treasurer Burns and Secretary Strong. These men planned and supervised all the activities of the society in such a way as to moke the year interesting ond entertaining as well as highly profitable to all members of this group.

One Hundred Ninety-one THE need for such on organization as the Villonova Chemical Society was long recognized, but it was not until the advent of Dr. Haensich upon the campus that definite steps were taken toward its formation. It was in the fall of 1936 that the Society held its initial meeting, culminating years of effort on the part of the chemical engineers to establish this vital link between the theoretical and the industrial sides of chemistry. In the short space of two years, the Society has risen to the ranks of the more active organizations on the campus. Although still in its embryonic stage, the Society, under the direction of Dr. Haensich and its president, Joseph Beittenmiller, has made rapid strides during the past year. Activities included bi-monthly meetings, where demonstrations and discussions by both students ond faculty occupied the spotlight. Unique industrial problems as well as simple applications of well-known chemical processes were presented and studied. Very frequently motion pictures were employed to illustrate and clarify the matter under discussion. Monthly trips to the various plants and laboratories in and around Philadelphia were made. The direct contact with actual production and research during these trips offered excellent opportunities for obtaining valuable information. It is expected that within the next few years the Society will become affiliated with the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, a national organization.

Villanova hos long ago solved this problem by the organization of a Doy Students Club which is mode up of students from each school on the campus. Any time during the day a casual visitor to Mendel Hall will be certain to notice a cheerful well-lighted room set oside for the day students. Here, in free periods, those who live off the campus gather to discuss the various topics thot arise in the group. Intra-mural activities have become an integral port of life at Villanova making it imperative that each student participate to the full extent of his abilities. Each othletic event that takes place on the campus finds an increasing number of trolley and troin students taking a more active port. The dreom of Rev. Edward B. McKee, O.S.A., is now being realized os lines of disagreement between those who live on and those who live off the campus arc being settled by mutual co-operation. Social activities have assumed new proportions during th:s ycor, and much of this impetus may be explained by the whole-hearted support given the Glee Club, the Belle Masque and the newly formed Symphony Orchestra by the members who compose the organization. Extra-curricular activities arc as important to a well- rounded college education os factual clossroom material, ond this point has been recognized by the Doy Students Club. One Hundred Ninety three Q ETA GAMMA, the Villanova debating society and one of the most active organiza- tions on the campus, again enjoyed an exceptional season in its long series of debates with some of the leading colleges in the East and Middle West. Among the more important of these were Dartmouth, Marquette, Detroit, Pennsylvania, Georgian Court and Mt. St. Vincent's. In all of these debates as well as in those conducted over radio station WIP the varsity performed in a highly creditable fashion. Several trips were taken, including one through New Jersey when the team met Rutgers, Upsala, and Georgian Court. There was also an extensive tour southward os for as Virginia, during which the outstanding schools of that district played hosts to the Villanova debaters. All in all the schedule was one of the most extensive ever attempted by Beta Gamma. This year saw the last of the famous senior team of William Corkill, John Simons and John Stahmann. Ordinarily, the loss of such men would seriously affect the team, but fortunately the society has the experienced junior duo of Thomas Delate and John Quigley to fall back upon, as well as the services of the highly promising sophomores, John Harrington, Robert Wilderotter and Robert O'Brien. Although Beta Gamma elected no officers during the past year, the society moved along smoothly under the direction of Mr. Anthony Frayne. Joseph McNamara was appointed Manager of Debate and it is to him that the society owes much of the success of lost season.

RESPITE the handicaps of o very small membership and a late stort, Villonovo's Freshman Debating Society accomplished a goodly share of work in the post few months. During the debating season, in the course of which the club met teams from Princeton, Pennsylvania, Haverford, St. Peter's ond others, the freshmen ac- quitted themselves nobly. Since the new system of no-decision contests was adopted, their success could not be measured in terms of actual victory and defeat, but the interest with which the debates themselves were received clearly showed the excel- lent way in which the members prepared and delivered their talks. Early in the year a meeting was held for the purpose of electing officers. Murray Zealor prominent freshman in the School of Commerce and Finonce, was named president and Jomes Donovon, secretary. For quite some time there was difficulty about the appointment of a moderator, but this wos finally cleared up in Fcbruory, when Rev. Edward B. McKee, O.S.A., was selected for the office. Murroy P. Zcolor President The season got under way at Villanovo on March 4, when the Princeton de- baters were met in Mendel Hall. Zealor, Donovan ond Flannery made up Villonovo's team on this occasion. These three men, together with Thomas Haynes, William Stay and Stanley Winowicz, represented the college all through the yeor, and are to be heartily commended for their work. The subjects discussed in the various debates were: The position of the C. I. 0., the international shipments of arms and munitions, the National Labor Relations Board, and unicameral legislatures. One Hundred Ninc� y-«i� « The roll of drum —the crosh of cymbols—the backbone of Villonovo spirit. BAND V c j SIDE from the daily grind of classes and studies, one of the prime factors of campus life is extra-curricular activities. One of the most important of these activities is the Band. This year the achievements of this organization have written a mem- orable page in the musical annals of Villanova. Before the football games and between the halves the Band always provides o colorful show for the spectators. Not only along the Main Line, but wherever this musical unit travels, it is received with enthusiasm. But the music and the maneuvers gone through to form the various college letters at the games are the result of long and hard work upon the part of both the band members ond its organizers. Because of the graduation of Pio Goggi, the drum major dur- ing the three previous years, a new man was needed for that position. John Eldracher and Melvyn Bricker were selected to alternate at each game, ond they filled the position remarkably well. To Rev. Joseph Boyle, O.S.A., we extend our congratulations for his wonderful work as faculty advisor to the Band. Mr. Paul Teel deserves much commendation for his energetic directorship, while Ward Scanlan and Joseph Cirelli, the two business managers, also come in for their share of the glory. To these men and to the musicians themselves highest praise is due for their fervor in plac- ing Villanova's Band among the leading collegiate musical organi- zations in the country. One Hundred Ninety-six THE 1938 edition of the Villanovans was more of o Villanovo organization than it has been for the past several years. Led by Bert Possanante, this orchestra played at all of the school donees with the exception of the Belle Air Ball and the Junior Prom. In addition to these engagements the Villanovans were hired for numerous outside dances and all who were present at those affairs have commented on the versatility of the muscians representing our campus. The talent that makes up the orchestra is recruited from the college band and it represents all four classes at the college. This year's freshman class contributed an excellent musician in Pancherri who plays the saxophone. From the sophomore class came Lodowski at trombone and McCary on the reeds. Leader Bert Possanante has one more year to handle the orchestra, and, though he does not ploy an instrument, he has been a very important factor in the Villa- novans' success. In addition to Possanante the Junior Class is represented by White and Hobson on the trumpets and Daly on the bass. The graduating class contrib- uted Wade who handled the drums and Bowen who completed the reed section. Even though two of its members are in the senior class, the orchestra's pros- pects for the coming yeor are unusually bright. No successful dance band is pro duccd within a short period of time, so we look forward to even greater success for this organization in the future. Bartholomeo Pasjcnantc Director A Villanovo addition to the n,u«col .orld-the college dance orcheitro. One Hundred Ninety-seven VILLANOVANS [ TURING the past year Villanova's newly organized symphonic band made its debut in the concert field. Its several recitals were enthusiastically received by audiences at Immaculata, Rosemont and other neighboring colleges. In the first year of its existence this group did much to enhance the cultural reputation of the college. In the post a symphony orchestra has been a campus feature, but this year marked a departure from the established precedent. String instruments were dropped and the Villanova Symphonic Band was born. After the usual confusion which ac- companies the rise of a new organization, Director Teel and the student managers got the bi-weekly rehearsals going steadily. Through diligent work at these prac- tice sessions the members made rapid progress and were well prepared when the concert season began. At the opening concerts at Villanova and Immaculata, the band featured a medley of the favorite tunes of the composer, Victor Herbert; the overture, Princess of India ; American Patrol in march time; and the novelty number, Coming 'Round the Mountain . Rev. Joseph Boyle, O.S.A., moderator, was the spirit behind the organization plans and the band owes its very existence to his enthusiastic backing. The student managers. Ward Scanlan and Joseph Cirelli, were of invaluable assistance in arrang- ing the rehearsals and recitals. Credit is also due Paul Teel, the Villanova music master, for his capable leading, and all the members for their faithful and efficient service.

THE Villanova Glee Club, in the fourth year of its existence and the third year of ■ its concert activity, hod its most successful season during the post months. From the inaugural recital ot the onnual football banquet at the Bcllcvuc-Stratford to the closing performance of the yeor the choristers displayed splendid artistry and interpretation. The yearly engagement on St. Patrick's Day at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in South Philadelphia and the concert given at Immaculata College were the highlights of the season. It wos at Mount Cormel Parish two ycors ago that the Glee Club entertained for the very first time, and this St. Patrick's Day dote is fast becoming a traditional one. Climaxing the latter part of the choral season was the organization's return engagement at Immaculata College. The program of last year was so warmly received that the club was asked to make another appearance, and it turned out to be the peak performance of its concert activity. Once again the popular Poul Teel, Villanova's versatile musical director, took over the baton ond he is to be complimented on his fine conducting ond excellent selection of songs. The success of the Glee Club is undoubtedly due to his efforts. Numbers featured by the group were The Rosary by Rogers ond Nevin, Jericho by Harvey Gaul, Vincent Youman's Without o Song , and the present day popular ditty, The Song of the Marines . One Hundred Ninety-mne PHI KAPPA PI Th busy engineers find time to pose for o group picture. J. Paul Skelly President IN THE year 1907, the nucleus of Villanovo's first froternity wos formed by a small group of engineering students. Since then. Phi Kappa Pi has developed with so greot a rapidity that it now outnumbers every organization on the compus. Singularly distinctive, Phi Kappa P.'s meetings are the most comprehensive get- togethers in the Engineering school. Bi-weekly, the Mendel Hall amphitheater re- verberates with spirited discussions of all things engineering and all things frotcrnal. During the past year the meetings were presided over by J. Paul Skelly, a senior civil engineering student. Coincident with the three school seasons, the fraternity holds three major sccial affairs. Fall is the occasion for the time-honored Owl Hop. Always a grand event and always a financial success, this donee is the only social presented exclu- sively by the engineers. February has usually been a high spot on the frat's calendar, for this month marks the annual initiation of the neophytes and the ensuing banquet where favorite speakers of the doy offer toasts to the new members. The group's only spring function takes place in mid-April when the annual dinner-dance is held. Throughout the year all athletically inclined members of the froternity keep in trim by engaging in the several sports tournaments sponsored by the organization. The most popular of all, if measured by the number participating, is the basketball tournament which finds freshman, sophomore, junior and senior members of the organization striving for the various awards. Two Hundred Alon F Dowling Resident I AMBDA KAPPA DELTA, the campus fraternity made up entirely of students of the School of Science, enjoyed one of its most successful and interesting years under the guidance of President Alan F. Dowling. Distinctive among this year's innovations was the policy of holding meetings every other Thursday evening. This enabled the fraternity to spend much more time in the discussion of its affairs and also, in keeping with the scientific purposes of the group, allowed time for ad- dresses by outstanding doctors and scientists. Included among these speakers were many teachers, doctors and dentists prominent in local medical and biological circles. Due to the unfortunate destruction of the gymnosium's false ceiling only five days before its proposed Fall Social, the Lambda Kappa Delta was forced to abandon plans for a public dance. Only the regular Spring Dinner Dance graced the social calendar of the pre-medical group. Recognizing also thot fraternal feeling is heightened by athletic contests, the L. K. D. supported a basketball, a softball and a tennis teom. These teams met such formidable aggregations as the Villanovan staff, the North Jersey Club, the Wilkes-Barre Club, the Connecticut Club and the Bryn Mawr Hospital internes. Serving as officers for the year 1937-38 were Alan F. Dowling, President; Italo de Bartholomcis, Vice President; Horry Toylor, Secretary; Williom J. Word, Treasurer; Leonard Battafarono, Student Council representative; ond joseph J. Toland, Sergcant-ot-arms. c .

LAMBDA KAPPA DELTA Two Hundred One ANOTHER successful year was enjoyed by the International Relations Society. The Rev. William J. Lunncy, O.S.A., and his ambitious group of diplomats marched upon the international powers behind closed doors, stripped them of their banners in stirring orations and heated arguments, and revealed them and their policies in their true colors. The International Relations Society underwent many revisions. Though the society still continued as a separate body, it was united with the Study Club be- cause of their relation and the interest members showed in both organizations. It was also agreed upon that the meetings should be held each Wednesday evening, every other week being devoted entirely to the discussions on international relations. Another previous practice that was abolished was the election of permanent officers. This rule was put in force so that every member could share equally in assignments and duties. Many interesting and current topics of world wide concern were discussed in this miniature League of Nations. Nationalism, the Ludlow Resolution, Neutrality, the Sino-Japanese conflict were put under the scrutiny of critical eyes, and were slowly torn apart until the truth wos known and a solution reached. As the curtain of another year falls, anxious but wiser members of the Society pack their bags, collect their information and travel to Washington to take active part in the national meeting of the Catholic Student Peace Federation of which they are proud members.

Guest speakers also addressed the group throughout the yeor, many discussing the historical and religious aspects of the Spanish Civil War. Two Hundred Three MUSIC SEMINAR (Left to Right': Horrington, Goussuin, Arnodc, Zicler, Fother Vrono, Simons, Bowen, Higgins, Gendron. THE Music Seminar hos completed its second year of existence under the guidance of its moderator, Rev. John J. Vrono, O.S.A. In this short time the club has acquired a membership of about twenty-five musically inclined students. The pur- pose of the Music Seminar is to develop in these men a taste for the higher types of music and to acquaint them with the great classics and their composers. The club meets once a week in the Day Students' Room in Mendel Hall. Notices arc put up before each meeting describing the mus:c to be played. The seminar is open to any students who may be interested in the organization or to any one who would enjoy the selections. At the meetings mimeographed notes concerning the music and interesting anecdotes from the lives of the composers of the pieces arc passed out to those present. The study of the classics is made by means of phonograph recordings. Some of the records are donated by those interested in the seminar and others are borrowed from the faculty and the student body. The Music Seminar is an amplification of the Art Appreciation course. It wos started at the request of the students which olone shows the growing tendency among college men to take an interest in culturol subjects. Within a short period of time Villanova has fostered an organization that has enjoyed an immense amount of success and which could be compared with the best music clubs anywhere. Two Hundred Four ni 9 E- Uram Chairman of the new clubs formed at Villanova College this year is the Science Seminor. Founded by Rev. James A. Donnellon, O.S.A., its chief purpose is to stimulate student interest in laboratory work. This is accomplished by having readings of the latest ond most pertinent papers published on research in the various branches of science. The members in turn prepare and give reports on these papers at the regular weekly gatherings of the society. While the Science Seminar is a great aid to all the students it is especially beneficial to the senior in the Science School for it gives him an insight of the mony aspects of research. At the meetings he may not only seize upon a suitable subject for his thesis but he moy also be able to correlate the information gained with his various branches of study. The ultimate end of the organization is to moke the students of science more technically minded. One of the main features of the Seminar wos the showing of motion pictures. Perhaps the most interesting of these was the one on the effect made by different substances on the heort of o chicken embryo. There were about forty members that attended the weekly meetings of the seminar during the post year. Presiding over these meetings wos Father Donnellon, while directing the proceedings wos President Irving Uram who has done much to carry on the interest and the work in research. Chairmen Irving Urom oddreite the bi-monthly meeting of the Science SCIENCE SEMINAR Two Hundred Five IN THE fall of 1937 there appeared on the campus an organization that was unique in its aims and in its methods of obtaining those aims. This organization, the History Seminar, has rapidly taken shape and now holds an honored position among the numerous societies at Villanova. The Seminar is one of the most select and profitable ones yet placed at the disposal of the students. Its membership is confined to those who hove shown evidence that they possess a profound interest in historical matters. It does not contend that it is capable of settling the trials and tribulations of the world, but merely attempts to show things in their true light. The discussions which are held bi-monthly do not follow any definite procedure,, but are conducted by the director in such a way that the entire group participates and the greatest benefits are ob- tained by the members. The motive for forming this Seminar was to provide occasion for and practice in original historical research. Wth the collaboraton of Rev. John Dunne, O.S.A., Dr. Hartman formulated plans for investigating whether or not Catholic political philosophy had any influence on the American Constitution. In its attempt to study the question purely objectively, the Seminar had passed over previous studies and has attacked the problem from original sources such as the political theories of Aristotle and Plato and the books of St. Thomas, John Locke and Thomas Jefferson.

Fart,,, VfAM RGANIZED only last year, the Study Club hos already become on integral port of Villonovo extra-curricular life. Conducted under the direction of Rev. John J. Vrano, O.S.A., meetings were held every other week during the school year. interrupted only by the longer vacation periods. At each meeting it wos customary to have one of the members deliver a ten minute paper on a particular topic of social significance Thus the modern housing problem, the sit-down strike, the advantages of living in rural communities, and other current day subjects were discussed at various times. The usual procedure at the meetings was to hove the paper reod first and then hold a round-table discussion. These so-called discussions, however, often broke into spirited forensic free-for-alls. The intense interest evidenced at the meetings soon necessitated bringing in an alarm ot the stort of the offair and setting it to close all activity at nine o'clock sharp. Even this procedure would hove foiled in its purpose many an evening were it not for the persistence of Father Vrano. Occasionally one of the professors who was an authority on the particular subject being discussed was invited to speak. During the course of the year. Rev. William J. Lunney, O.S.A., and Doctor Harold F. Hartman obliged in this respect. No officers were selected by the club. Father Vrono presiding at all the meetings. Two Hundred Seven T HE completion of the 1938 scholastic session found the Connecticut Club ending another successful ycor. Paced by its very energetic officers, Harry Luzzie, Frank Pimpinella, Andrew Amaturdo and Anthony Aleo, the club has become one of the leading organizations on the campus. Weekly meetings knit a closer bond among its twenty-five members, the outcome of which was directly reflected in the success of the Easter dance which is held annually by the group. The support given by the olumni has become all but indispensable, and with such co-operation between the two os was prevalent the past year, the club has before it a very successful future. Within the association's membership are several men who are enjoying a great deal of success on the various athletic teams. Matt Phelan, a member of last yeor's varsity football team, who has a very promising future, claims Connecticut as his home state as does Pete Noimo, another candidate for next year's football squad. Bill Duffy, captain of the boxing team and one of its more consistent win- ners, is also a member of the club. Those of the group who are not playing any varsity sports ore active in the intra-murals. The club is very fortunate in having such an energetic moderator as Father O'Donnell. Much of the success of the organization is due to his guidance and his untiring efforts in its behalf. Two Hundred Eight I N THE fall of 1936, thirty-seven broad A boys met in Mendel Hall and selected 1 Ed Moose Donovan as president of a club that was to be called The Massa- chusetts Club . Today, it is composed of forty-five loyal Bay-Staters and com- poses the largest and one of the most active organizations on the campus. Its his- tory, though relatively short, is marked with success. The purpose of this fraternal organization is to promote and foster the true Villanova spirit among its members at home and on the campus. Under the en- thusiastic guidance of Rev. Stephen Lanen, O.S.A., its moderator, this aim has been carried out without exception. The Massachusetts Club numbers among the men on its roster some of the most outstanding individuals of the entire student body. Athletically, scholastically and socially, the boys from New England have demonstrated their versatility and worthiness to be placed among the finest at Villanova. Along with its regular meetings and campus activities, the Massachusetts Club plans and carries out re-unions and dances during the school vacation, and is now considering a program of year around activities that will continue through the summer months, thus binding together grads and students in an unending chain of good fellowship. The president of the club is John McKenna. He is ably assisted with his duties by Vice-President Len Merullo, Secretary Doc Donicllo and Treasurer Oliver V. Volpe. THE North Jersey Club, one of the lorgest and most active organizations of its kind on the Villanova campus, hos for years brought together the resident students whose homes are in the northern section of New Jersey. All students who live in towns and cities north of New Brunswick ore eligible for membership. The Jerseyites indulge in many social activities during the year, the two most important being the dinner dances which ore held during the Christmas and Easter vacations. This past year saw the Skeeters visit New York's Hotel Commodore, where the Palm Room was the scene of a very successful social affair. Tommy Dorsey and his famous orchestra supplied the rhythms to the dances. Ray Monahan, of Duncl- len, and Joseph Calandricllo, of Fair Haven, were the co-chairmen of the dance. During the Easter vacation the club members visited another important night spot in the metropolitan area for their convention, and there they officially closed the social season for the 1937-1938 scholastic year. Throughout the year the club meetings were conducted by President Louis Dubino of Linden. John Dunigan, of Woodbridge, was vice-president and William Bowkcr, of Upper Montclair took care of the secretarial duties. Gene Ertle, of Jer- sey City handled the financial end of matters, while Art Vigilante, of Morristown, was sergeant-at-arms at the meetings. A supporting hand was lent by Rev. Charles P. Brown, O.S.A., faculty moderator.

The purpose of the club is to enable the students who reside in those oreas to become better acquainted. In order to carry out this plan two sociol affairs ore held ycorly, one during the Christmas holidays and the other during the Eoster vocation. This post year the Christmas dance wos held in the Hotel Sterling in Wilkes-Borrc. Co- Chairmen William Devers and Gilbert Noll acquired the services of Jerry McHale and his orchestro, and selected the Mirror Room os the scene of the festivities. During the Easter holidays a dinner dance for club members only wos held, with Robert Bonner and William Romanowski acting as co-chairmen. The Omor Room of the Hotel Jermyn in Scranton found a large crowd assembled to dance to the music of Jack Bogash's orchestra. CLUB WILKES-BARRE Throughout the year periodic meetings were held under the direction of Witold Krzywicki, the president of the club ond a resident of Wilkes-Barre. Others assisting in the executive duties were Albert Zogby, of Hazelton, Vice-President; William Devers, of Freeland, Treasurer; and Gilbert Noll, of Wilkes Borre. Co- Chairmen Bonner and Romanowski have their homes in Wilkes-Borrc ond Avoco, respectively. The Rev. Francis Ludwig, O.S.A., acted os faculty moderator. Two Hundred Eleven Masque rOLLOWING in the path of last year's excellent presentation of Journey's End , the Belle Mosque Dramatic Society this year rose to even greater heights in its rendition of Maxwell Ander- son's renowned Winterset . In previous Belle Masque productions all female characters had been portrayed by Villanova students. This year the Jest and Jesture Club of Rosemont College lent its assistance in this respect by holding try- outs for the ploy. Anita Argentieri, a senior of Rosemont, was selected to play the part of Miriamne, a role made famous on the stage and screen by Margo. This did not constitute the entire scope of the Belle Masque's activities, however. Earlier in the year the Furtherance Committee, created by President John M. Donahue for the promotion of interest and activity in the dramatic society, de- cided to present a group of four one-act plays for the purpose of discovering new dramatic talent omong the candidates for the annual spring pro- duction. The members of the club were divided into four sections, each coached by a member of lost year's cast, and shortly before the Thanks- giving recess On the Other Side , Four on a Heath , and Fair Enough were presented. The somber Message from Khufu wos rehearsed but net produced. The Belle Mosque has, since its revival, been under the direction of Mr. Anthony J. Frayne, de- bating and dramatics coach. Due chiefly to his efforts, dramatics at Villanova is fast regaining the prestige it once enjoyed. We ore two lovers here in the night, and wc wish to live. CAST Trock ..............

It is something attained by ight and act.” Excellence in Annuals is attained. There is some thing a book has, or does 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. When a Staff places their Annual in our hands, they immediately have at their dis- posal a service that is truly exceptional and complete. We look beyond the dotted line of the contract to broader horizons. Your problem becomes ours. Our resources of experience and facilities become yours. Our cumulative knowledge of years in this line of work is applied understanding and sympathetically to your specific aims. Cost is held to a figure in sensible proportion to the result to be accomplished. PUMUNANGWET (He Who Shoots the StarsJ . . . who dares to attempt even the unattainable with the conscious pride of an unconquerable spirit. Back of our organization is the spirit of “He Who Shoots the Stars”— vision — ambi- tion — confidence strength — and with the Staff catching this spirit along with us, the result will be an Annual which can be passed on to your Classmates with pride.
