Villanova University - Belle Air Yearbook (Villanova, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 264 of the 1939 volume:

a hundred and fifty years we people in the United States have been the freest and happiest in the world. With the help of God we have met and solved our problems—where possible by the wisdom of our leaders, when necessary with the blood of our heroes. If there are defects in our form of government, no one knows them better than we do; no one can correct them better than we can, least of all a foreign power or its agents. Yet at present we are tolerating in the United States a movement instigated by the government of Soviet Russia, which ridicules our whole system as ineffective and is forcing on us the horror of Atheistic Communism. This movement is thoroughly opposed to the principles upon which this country was founded—principles in whose defense the First Patriots pledged our Lives, our For- tunes, and our sacred Honour.” It is the purpose of this 1939 Belle Air to contribute toward the preservation of this pledge. THE BELLE AIR 1333 Tat (fod of our most cherished American heritages, a natural right protected in the fundamental law of the land, is freedom of religious worship, freedom to serve God as conscience dictates. But Communism eliminates free worship, denies the very existence of God, and destroys completely the structure of natural rights. Catholic or not, we can all be thankful that we have kept God in our midst. For if natural rights come from God, as the Declaration of Independence so staunchly asserts, then the best way to keep them is to keep Him. Under our form of government the American state has prospered; the Catholic Church has flourished. And where the Church flourishes, democracy need never fear, for She is ever the guardian of equal rights among men. Always She has spread the Peace of Christ, His benevolent Char- ity, and His universal Justice for the wel- fare of mankind—and from the first She has condemned Atheistic Communism! The Vatican in Rome during the coronation of Pius XII, «he 267th Pope. A Head of the Church, he is the leader of millions of Catholics and the defender of the rights of all men in all nations. ? [ LSO treasured by every true Ameri- can citizen are those other principles of American government, so dearly won and jealously guarded—freedom of vote and assembly, freedom of press and of speech. Under these same principles Communism thrives here in our midst. With the protec- tion of our laws, its diabolical propaganda is being spread throughout the country, from lecture platforms, in papers and pamphlets, over the air and on the screen, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, Canada to Mexico. Yet, given the opportunity, it would ruthless destroy them all. Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness” becomes an inane slogan in a Communistic country. The menace of this catastrophe, opposed to everything American, every- thing democratic, is now everywhere about us. It must not overwhelm us. We cannot betray our God, our country, and ourselves. Communism is treason. Its agents are traitors. It must endure no longer! From the Capitol Building in Washington emanates legislation, passed by the freely elected representatives of the people, which protects the democratic principles of free government in the United States—government tinder the motto, In God we trust. Tat the The government in Russia has crushed all opposition, and abolished freedom with its mili tary might. Mass demonstra- tions, such as this in Moscow’s Red Square, cow the people into submission and typify Communism’s philosophy of fear and force. ftteletvatlon ofi IQeLiqion and TPemoctac p IBERTY is dead in Soviet Russia today. The people are ground into submission, cowed by the military might of a Communistic gov- ernment w'hose basic philosophy is fear. Their homes are wrecked. Their lives are broken. Communism has left only chaos and confu- sion. In America it could be no different. For those of us who practice any religion, it promises persecution and pillage; for its political op- ponents, it offers a quick death or a life of imprisonment. For all of us there is oppression. We must not sacrifice the peace and security of the United States for an unbridled reign of terror. We will not give up the worship of our God and the love of our neighbor for this mad- ness. And with Communism in America we must yield these rights. The peace and freedom of the United States is typified here at the Eucharistic Con- gress in New Orleans, where thousands of Catholics gathered to give public expression of their devotion to Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace. To A SON of SAINT AUGUSTINE Father Tourscher devoted forty years of faithful service to Villa- nova. He was content to spend his priestly lifetime in a single college because he loved his work, and could devote himself to teaching and the writing of authoritative books. As librarian and trustee of the college, he rendered invaluable service. He edited all material for the records of the American Catholic Historical Society, was censor of books for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, and the outstanding American authority on the works of St. Augustine, many of whose writings he translated and edited. A gentle, holy man, he never once in four decades failed to cele- brate his daily Mass and it was from this altar of sacrifice that he was carried to his eternal reward. In recognition of true greatness, we humbly dedicate the 1939 BELLE AIR to the memory of FATHER TOURSCHER VERY REVEREND FRANCIS E. TOURSCHER S.T.D., O.S.A. ?2e5olution5 OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE AUGUSTIN- IAN COLLEGE OF VILLANOVA, ON THE DEATH OF REV. FRANCIS E. TOURSCHER, O.S.A., SECRE- TARY OF THE BOARD • • • WHEREAS, in His infinite wisdom and mercy, our Divine Master called from this life, on the thirtieth day of January, in the Year of Our Lord, Nineteen Hundred Thirty-nine, His beloved servant. Rev. Francis E. Tourscher, of the Order of Saint Augustine, and WHEREAS, this same kindly gentleman, an outstanding authority on Saint Augustine, was an extraordinarily faithful mem- ber of the faculty at Villanova College during his whole priestly life of forty years, serving with equal fidelity in any capacity to which his religious superiors appointed him from time to time, and WHEREAS, in whatsoever capacity he served, whether that of professor, research scholar in history, librarian, archivist, or trustee, his unaffected humility made him shrink from public notice, be it RESOLVED that the Board of Trustees of Villanova College for whom he served so efficiently as Secretary during the past thir- teen years, hereby commend his unblemished and saintly priestly life as an example of the type of service that will insure the per- petuity of our revered and long established institution, and be it further RESOLVED that we direct that there be spread upon the records of our College these resolutions as an affectionate remem- brance of his many years of untiring and faithful service.

It is simply a suburban community, settled in one of the mellowest and most beautiful countrysides of America. Nestled within this pleasant atmosphere is the College, a community where one thousand men live under the same sky, the same flag. A veritable beehive of activity, yet retaining by virtue of its location the seclusion so necessary to concentration and study. St. Mary’s Hall was erected in 1912 and donated to Villanova by Mr. Bernard Corr. It provides living, administration, and class- room facilities for the Seminarians, who after sufficient prepara- tion are later admitted to the monastic Order of Saint Augustine. emlnaty J anotama The campus, a pleasant combination of natural grandeur and architectural splendor, is the hub and show place of a district that, without the benefit of any actual community, has become world renowned for its wonderful estates and beautiful scenery. (2Lai i ai Mendel Hall, an extensive building, completed in 1929, in which arc located the Administration offices, classrooms and lab- oratories for the Schools of Arts, Engineering and Science. It is the largest campus building and spacious enough to accommo- date hundreds of students. Strategically located about the campus are these three student dormitories. Each offers definite inducements to its resi- dents. Alumni, a central location and a handy gym; Austin, nearness to the Com- merce School, and Fedigan, accessibility to the science and engineering labora- tories. AUSTIN HALL ALUMNI FEDIGAN HALL Simpson Hall, named in honor of its donor, William Simp- son, is the latest addition to the Villanova campus. The property consists of a magnificent twenty-room resident building together with a two and one-half acre plot of ground. Its acquisition gives symmetry to the campus layout and provides the opportunity to remove those obstructions that have prevented a fully appreciative view of the beauty on the western end of the campus. q ml nat 5 The building’s quiet retreat from the humdrum of ordinary college activity, blended with its appropriate decorations and furnishings, lends to the students an inspiration, conducive to extraordinary thoughts and endeavors in their many extra-curricular activities. The gift of Simpson Hall was not only generous but it was also timely, in that its spa- cious lounge rooms, with open fire-places solved the urgent problem of providing ideal meeting rooms for the various seminars. A eiiute A retaining wall cloisters a quiet calm apart from the rumble and roar of the commercial struggle. A palisade of trees deflects the fire and thunder of industry, so that learning and intellectual achievements may live and be nourished. - ; On a small rise of ground at one end of the campus is the School of Commerce and Finance. It is the newest building on the campus and at present houses the largest student enrollment of any school on the campus. ecteatlon The Field House and Stadium provide facilities for varsity athletic contests and for student recrea- tion. Frequently as a colorful ballroom or a mod- ern playhouse, the Gymnasium vibrates to America’s best dance music and echoes to the presentation of fascinating drama. VERY REV. JOHN T. SHEEHAN, O.S.A., J.C.D., S.T.B. To rule, counsel and guide three hundred priests, engaged in teaching, preaching missions, and conducting parishes is the task of the Augustinian Provincial. The present incumbent of the office of the Provincial is the twelfth since the foundation of the Province in 1874. He entered the Novitiate at Villanova in 1898, and, as a Sub-deacon, was sent to Rome in 1902. While there, he attended the Appolinari College of Eccleciastical Law, and was awarded the degree of Doctor of Canon Law. Returning to America, he engaged in parochial duties until his election in June, 1938, to Provincial, and ex-officio, the Chairmanship of the Board of Trustees. (2k airman ofr the Soatd l ittanova 5 If a college is to be successful it requires, like any other large corporation, a group of indi' viduals within its organization to shape its policy and to act as advisors in matters of finance. At Villanova the Board of Trustees performs this function. It is made up of two laymen of practical business experience and five leaders of the Augustinian Order and consti' tutes the source of all collegiate activity. It is largely due to their efforts and interest that Villanova has achieved her present position of prestige. BOARD OF TRUSTEES Chairman of the Board Very Rev. John T. Sheehan, O.S.A., S.T.B., J.C.D.

He assumed the duties of the College Presidency in 1932 and is now completing his seventh year in that office. During these years he has held numerous executive positions in state, regional, and national educational associations. Renowned for his scholar- ship, Father Stanford is nevertheless an excellent tennis player and expert swimmer, which gives him a position of additional prestige in the eyes of college students.

CONNECTING LINK STUDENT COUNCIL Student government in the American college has become almost as well established as representative government throughout the country. There is no bet- ter method for developing leaders than by giving to the deserving an opportunity to assist in the adminis- tration of collegiate activities throughout their college courses. Self-government and leadership are the broad purposes behind the two important student organisa- tions. Student Council and the Orientation Committee. In the course of performing their immediate functions, both of these bodies act as a connecting link between the administration at Villanova and its students. The Board of Trustees and the Board of Administrators constitute the fountainhead of authority. The men who make up the student governing bodies case the flow of what might otherwise seem like strong author- itative guidance, and so produce a more responsive cooperation and greater satisfaction for all concerned The members of the Student Council are drawn from three sources: those elected from the upper classes, representatives of student organizations, and certain student officials. This board meets every two weeks under the rules of parliamentary procedure. Its more important duties arc to conduct and super- vise class elections, hear student complaints, and in general act as representatives of the student body. In 1958 the Council voted to combine itself with the Orientation Committee to lend more authority to that organization. This year the experiment was carried out most successfully and, without a doubt, will be' come a permanent institution at Villanova. Much of its success is due to its Chairman. Frank Mozzi, and the Vice-Chairman, Tom Carbine, who automatically heads the Orientation Committee by virtue of his position, and the splendid spirit of co-operation shown on the part of the Sophomores.

REJUVENATED WHIT EC APS Increased to almost double its former size, the Orientation Committee performed more efficiently than it had for years. Upon the shoulders of this group rests the highly important and much coveted task of welcoming incoming Freshmen, outfitting them in the traditional Regs, consisting of blue dink, large identification button, and black bow-tie, and acquaint- ing them with the rules and regulations of the college. The hazing of former years has given way to the friendly greeting which leaves no ill-will, but the Freshmen were duly impressed with the importance of upper classmen nevertheless. The finest accom- plishment of the White-Caps this year was the instill- ing of a feeling of pride on the part of the Frosh for their Regs, rather than embarrassment with which they used to be worn.

FARRELL, O.S.A. March 26th, 1939 REV. JOHN F. O’BRIEN, O.S.A. September 18th, 1938 This year Villanova College lost a man who had endeared himself to all with whom he came in contact. Although Father Farrell was not immediately associ' ated with the undergraduates, his import' ance and edifying holiness was felt by all. Absent for several years while engaged in parish work, he returned to Villanova in 1929 to become Prior of the Monastery. In 1935 he was made Prior of the Semin' arians and held this position until his death. Father O'Brien was one of the best known and most liked Augustinian Fathers on the campus. A fine student of litera' ture, author of his own text, “Philosophy of Composition,” he made all that he read and all that he discussed live. He will be missed by the students as a merry, chafing, lovable teacher. He will be missed by all as a true friend, a good priest. ItEQVIESCAT 1 PACE s C II o O L REMARKABLE GROWTH In 1914 the Department of Science was estab- lished within the Arts School to provide for students who wished to study medicine. This department increased with such rapidity that two years later it was made an independent school. It continued to expand until the great fire of 1928, which almost totally destroyed the laboratory equipment. This was a great blow, but Father Dougherty, the pres- ent Dean, plunged immediately into the work of reconstruction. A campaign for funds was begun. New equipment was bought or donated. He was the moving spirit behind this work and it was mainly through his efforts and sacrifice that the modern and well-equipped Science School of today was com- pleted. His guidance has brought it to the high position which it holds now among Pre-Medical Schools. By his students he is respected and re- vered. Among educators his accomplishments at Villanova have gained for him the acknowledgment of ability. Father Dougherty, besides being Dean of the Science School, is Vice-Chairman of the Athletic Board and newly-elected member of the Board of Trustees. He accomplished the splendid reconstruction and enlarge- ment of the Science School after the disastrous fire of 192S. He is an exceptional scholar and highly popular with the student body.

In the Chemistry laboratory, solution and precipitates are studied thoroughly. Here, held to the sunlight, one solution is being mixed with another to note its effect. BALANCED CURRICULA Modern medical schools, before granting to their students the degree of Medical Doctor, subject them to courses in the science of the human body which are startling in their comprehensiveness and detail. Thus, to mitigate the intensity of study after grad- uation from Villanova, our Science School lays stress on the subjects leading to the Bachelor of Science degree, rather than on the minimum re- quirements for entrance to a professional school. On the other hand, however, the life of the student after he has become a full-fledged doctor is not forgotten. Cultural subjects such as languages, philosophy, and others arc included in the course of study. Balance is the keynote, even though some concessions must be made to the most urgent re- quirements. SCIENCE 48 School ofi Science EXCELLENT LOCATION Villanova’s location is especially favorable to the study of several of the natural sciences. The tiny micro-organisms of pond and ditch, the larger growths of streams, together with the plants and trees of the Temperate zone are to be found in abundance in their natural habitat. They can be studied here or are easily taken to the laboratory for detailed examination. A peculiar evidence of all this is the popularity of Illick's Trees of Penn- sylvania” in the library. Prc-mcdical students do a considerable amount of drawing, must draw only what they sec through micro- scopes. When drawing is finished, they arc labelled, as shown here in the Embryology laboratory. OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES Directly related to the courses pursued are sev- eral activities which throw new light on the science man's studies. A weekly seminar is conducted and at each meeting some interesting natural scientist is invited to lecture. Outstanding among these lectures was the late Father Nieuwland, recipient of the Mendel Medal for 1936 and the discoverer of a synthetic rubber. Also, The Mendel Bulletin is issued quarterly and contains student articles on scientific subjects. One microscope is assigned to every student. He uses it every day for three years, becomes thoroughly familiar with it. Here is a small section of one of three microscope cabinets. of S 4 11 O O L PRIMARY EXPANSION The year 1905 marked Villanova's departure from the traditional arts education with the estab- lishment of the School of Technology. Civil engineering was the first course offered in the new school. After one year the addition of an electrical course was shown to be desirous and necessary. Two years later, in 1908, Professor Fredrick B. Seely was placed at the head of a new department —mechanical engineering. It was in this year also that Carl T. Humphrey was appointed Dean of the School of Technology. Under his untiring leadership Engineering at Villanova forged ahead. The United States became chemically minded dur- ing the War and with a view to the future demands for this type education a course in Chemical Engineering was added to those already offered. Dean Humphrey died in February, 1938. The present Acting Dean is Stanley J. Morehouse. He has made some rather extensive changes in the curriculum, has gained the confidence of the students, and has in every way carried the school onward and upward. J. Stanley Morehouse, temporary acting Dean of the En- gineering School since the death of the former dean, Carl T. Humphrey. During hi eighteen year at Villanova he ha instituted several new courses and designed text-books for them. Since he has been in office, several new improvement have been made, among which is the personnel placement service for graduates. The machine shop. Here student engineers use machin- ery, similar to that in the country's largest shops, to manufacture machine part . They are required to keep the lathes and presses they op- erate in excellent repair, quick- ly become expert mechanics. ENGINEERING 50 i: a i x i: e it i u From the start, engineers learn how to handle drawing instruments and use the draughting board. Later, when sufficiently advanced, they draw up designs from problem calculations and sometimes construct models or machines from these plans. MINIMUM OF LEISURE The Engineer on the Villanova campus is a busy one. Laboratory classes stretching far into the deep afternoon keep his leisure time down to a minimum. In these laboratories he sees near him the same people day after day. And with them he forms friendships which by their very nature are deeper than the ordinary college friendships. Engineers play together, walk together, and in general arc always together. Engineers must be more than co-students—they must be friends. Electrical engineers rig circuits, testing motors, gen- erators and other electrical equipment, also using trans- formers to step voltage up or down according to ex- periment. 51 VILLANOVA COLLEGE PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF THEORIES Civil engineer learn the u e of urveying instrument , make actual turvey� , take notes in the field, and plot them in the draught- ing room. Final assignment of the course i a complete survey of the Villanova cam- pus and buildings. A very vital part of an engineer s education is his frequent visits to the field of operations on a com' mercial scale. Here the drawings of the Electricity or the Chemical manual become something concrete and tangible. After his graduation the present student is going to work with the concrete and the tangible, his mathematical problems must be applied to stone, to steel, to textiles, to roads, to industrial machines. In the labs this is done in part but the working out of design on a large scale must be left to field trips. During the past year visits were made to the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining Company, the General Electric Switch Gear Company, the Edge Moor Iron Works, and to the Lincoln Tunnel when that engineering masterpiece was still under construction. Men in industry always web come these visits and take particular delight in explaining to the engineers the problems which they confront in their particular fields. Van Ryneveld’s Pat Dam was the subject of much discussion recently when the ve- locity of floodwaters was so great that it shot out horizontally from the first buttress. Dam was remarkable for the little amount of erosion which occurred and became an object of study in engineering circles. ENGINEERING 52 School £n jinea:tin j Power for all dynamoes, transformer� , motors and generators, and all electrical equipment is distributed throughout the laboratory by this switchboard, with which the student must become thoroughly familiar. NEW IMPROVEMENTS Keeping abreast of the times the Engineering School has recently made some substantial changes in its curricula and routine which are worthy of special comment. The Freshmen have profited by a decrease in the number of subjects to be carried. Upper classmen have their gains in the addition of new technical courses. Another outstanding advantage to be derived by the upperclassmen, especially the Seniors, is the elimination of theses and the substitution of a course in Engineering Problems. Two other features arc new. The first is the personnel placement service for the securing of positions for graduates. The second is the institu- tion of an Honor Society, Chi Epsilon Mu. which in time is to become part of the National Honor Society of Engineering Schools. Welding, now replacing riveting in construction, is done by students. Intense heat generated by electric arc, softens two pieces of metal to be joined and melts welding rod, in student’s hand which fuses metals into one piece. Biggest factor is the personal element. £ The Chemistry Laboratory is the home of Chemical Lngineers. In it they perform experiments with com- plicated apparatus, make tests and analyses of sub- stances, compounds, and the like, and put on a big show for the annual Open House exhibition. 53 VILLA NOV A COLLEGE SCHOOL COMM NEWEST SCHOOL In 1920 the Administration at Villanova recog' nized the desirability of presenting the choice of a business course to the students matriculating at the college. The increasing complexity of economic processes was demanding specialized training from those embarking on a business career. Accordingly in that year the School of Commerce and Finance was instituted and placed under the direction of the present Dean, Father Bartley. Concrete evb dence of the school's success was manifest when in 1930 increased enrollment made necessary the building of the spacious Commerce and Finance School. The curriculum has been planned with a threefold purpose. The first is to give its students a knowledge of the techniques of business. The second is to give its students a deeper understanding of the changes which mark the course of social, political, and economic life in this country. The third and most important is to inculcate in its students a knowledge and a love of truth, justice, and charity to the end that they may give rcsonable service to God and their fellowmcn. Father Bartley, founder and present Dean of the School of Commerce and Finance, ha increased the enrollment of his school from the smallest on the cam- pus in 1922 to its present size, which is the largest on the campus. He is constantly developing and improving courses and insists on frequent student use of the library. Father Dunne, who teaches Religion and History, turns in a list of absentees from his last class to Miss Kelly, secretary to the Dean. A notebook is the best textbook in this class in American Government. Instructors seldom follow exactly the material in course textbooks and students must keep up-to-date notes if they are to pass examinations. COMMERCE AND FINANCE 54 ER CE a ml FINANCE Commere students mti� t study one of several foreign languages taught. Above is a class in Spanish with Father Mahoney who spent many years in Spain. Father Bartley reads out grades from the third-quarter examinations to the seniors in a classroom. Grades are usually given out in his office, students entering one at a time. 55 VILLA NOV A COLLEGE School ofi BALANCED CURRICULA The School of Commerce and Finance would neglect an important phase of its work if it dcvcl- oped only business technicians. Because there is too much danger of narrowness in modern educa- tion, the curriculum has a good number of cultural subjects; chief among which arc religion, literature, history, and philosophy. The product of such an education should be a broad-visioned man, capable of making progress. In this day and age when progress is not only desirable but necessary, it is Villanova s hope that her graduates will be such as will shape economic reform along the lines of Christian principles. Always the object of most interest on the bulletin board is the cut list, giving the names of students absent from the previous day’s classes. In a semester, to allow for sickness or accidents, students are allowed to miss the equivalent of two weeks’s classes but this max- imum number is seldom used up. If over-cut the student auto- matically is dropped from the course. The mimeograph room. Stu- dents mimeograph examina- tions, keep the files in order, and learn general office pro- cedure. A book review for the religion course is being tran- scribed on the typewriter. COMMERCE AND FINANCE 56 ommetce an d 7; inance MAJOR COURSES Courses in Preparation for Law, Accounting, Finance, Marketing, and Business Administration arc taught. Each of these carry with them the supplementary work with which the student should he acquainted if he is to he qualified for a particular calling in the business world. In the Freshman year, general courses in Business, Foreign Languages, English, and Social Principles of Religion are prescribed. In the second, third, and fourth years more specialized courses arc pre- sented in which the techniques of hanks, exchanges, department and chain stores, insurance companies, and railroads arc thoroughly studied. Also, practical problems in Accounting, Finance, Business Law, and Business Administration arc included. Thus broadness of vision and intensity of analysis are concurrently maintained.

For with these he would seek knowledge knowledge not merely for the sake of gaining a livlihood but for the joy of knowing, of knowing self, world, and God. Knowing self through true humanism, world through science, God through Catholic culture. Intellectual discipline coupled with appreciation of truth should bring to bear upon the problems of our economic processes, of our political, social, and cultural maladjustments, precisely that type of mind which will best be able to present intelligent solutions. In this end an Arts school, and in parti- cular the Arts and Philosophy School of Villanova, finds full and overwhelming justification. Father Burns was made Dean of the School of Art and Philosophy four years ago. This position calls for a man of great learning and ho fills it admirably. He has written two passion plays, one of these. Vision,” at- tracting exceptional comment. Athletically inclined, he is an excellent golf player and hunting enthusiast. Miss Gaffney, secretary to the Dean, is one of the many efficicn office workers at Villanova. Besides attending to official duties these girls assist students, perform favors that are not requires! know every student in their respective schools. The course in Art Appreciation employs visual aids, among other innovations, to bring the beauties of an- cient architecture to the student. Image on the screen is an example of Egyptian architecture. ARTS AND PHILOSOPHY 58 i a ii il I� II ILOSOPHY During examinations students occupy every other seat in a room.

Just opposite the main entrance of the Administration Building, it is in the hub of campus activity. THE PARENT SCHOOL The history of the Arts and Philosophy School is the history of Villanova from its inception in 1905. The motto of the college . . . Veritas, Unitas, Caritas ... is essentially classical in character and the classical conception of education has been consistently maintained down through the ages by the school which begat this maxim. The Arts and Philosophy School is the parent of every other school on the campus and the same ideals inculcated within it have been extended in part to the various schools. The school has as Dean a man who commands the respect of every student; he is a scholar of note, an educator without a peer, and an unusually under standing personality. The present class bears the distinction of being the first to complete four years under and to be graduated by Father Burns. In leisure moments students browse through the library, roaming from stack to stack with no particular object in view, sometimes present unusual picture, as above. ARTS AND PHILOSOPHY £ch ool °h -(hti an d Phi Loiopky DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION The Department of Education at Villanova recognizes the fact that a teacher, above all others, must have a wide range of interests, refined tastes, deep sympathy and understanding, tact, and an education commonly described as liberal. It is for these reasons that the close relationship between the Arts and the Education school exists. For the past three years the Department of Education has functioned in organic union with the Arts School. Doctor William H. McHugh is the first to hold the office of Director of Education at Villanova. Under his guidance the Department is expanding in its production of tomorrow's teachers. TEACHING AN ART The aim of the Education Department is the cultivation of proper educational ideals, interests and attitudes; and the development of correct teaching habits and skills. Teaching is an art which can best be exercised only after full and weighty considera tions of the sciences which underlie it. Practice in the art of education is obtained by observation and actual direction of classes in local high schools. Daily around noon, our future teachers can be seen leaving the campus for the high schools to which they have been assigned. Evening witnesses their return, a bit haggard per haps, but benefitted by a wealth of experience. A large reading table in (he library contains many current periodical , which students read in order to keep in touch with the latest development in their fields. The more impor- tant daily newspaper are also kept on file along with the best of the magazines. 61 VILLANOVA COLLEGE THE Si. Mary’� Hall is (he home and chapel of fhc Seminarians. Modeled after a castle in Ireland, it is without doubt the most beautiful building on the campus and is among the oldest. Father Anderson it Master of the Professed Seminarians. His duties correspond to those of the Prefect of Discipline in the College. Father Farrell, who died this year, was Prior of St. Mary’s Hall. On him rested responsibility for the conduct of the entire house, including priests and seminarians. PRAYER AND STUDY Behind the gray walls of St. Mary's Hall we have a remote, secluded, hut nevertheless highly inv portant school. For here is located the Seminary. In this building those young men who have dedi- cated their lives to the service of God study for the priesthood. Here they prepare themselves that they may one day stand out as spiritual and in- tellectual leaders of Catholic manhood. They re- ceive the spiritual aids required through prayer and reflection, and intellectual developments through a comprehensive curricula, for these young men must have a vast store of knowledge and strength at their disposal. WORK AND PLAY But their lives are not wholly devoted to mental labor, for Mother Church believes in a sound mind in a sound body. So they are often seen about the campus in groups participating in activities of an athletic nature. Upon the reception of an A.B. degree and with the completion of the course in Theology, the Seminarians are well prepared to go forth into the world to preach the Gospel of Christ. True Christian gentlemen, these followers of the Cross of Christ keep themselves apart from the rest of men until they are ready to advance the cause of the Saviour in the salvation of souls. Seminarians arc the greatest walkers on the campus. Winter or summer, they can be found starting out for their afternoon hike which often takes them miles from the campus.

ANOTHER ACCOMPLISHMENT To the average Villanova student the school's educational activities suggest only the regular nine month course from September to June. He is little aware that hundreds of others are given an oppor- tunity to partake in higher educational pursuits through the college’s Summer and Part-Time Schools, as this activity is conducted when the regular student is on vacation. An account of their history and importance is necessary to com- plete the record of Villanova s accomplishments and progress. LARGE ENROLLMENT Perhaps the most impressive information is the enrollment within these various schools. Taken as a unit, the Summer School, The Saturday Morning Extension School and the Evening School, this year had a registration of over twenty-one hundred stu- dents. Of these only four hundred and sixty-seven were duplicates, leaving a total of sixteen hundred and ninety single registrations. The Summer School alone had over one thousand students, a number that surpasses the regular college enrollment. It is in these schools that Sisters, representing twenty- five religious communities, secure the needed re- quirements and preparation to teach in varicus grammar, high schools and colleges. Also attending are women and men lay teachers and many others who desire specialised training to fit them for certain positions. The geographical area covered by stu- dents who attend these courses is bounded on the north by Albany, on the south by Baltimore and on the west by Chicago. Since their inception twenty years ago, the schools have enjoyed a remarkable growth, a quality which bespeaks of the need, appreciation, and management of these schools.

The main factor in the growth of these schools is the efficient manage- ment of their Dean, Father Bartley. The Summer Sessions were established in 1918. Its curriculum includes about one hundred courses in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Languages, Education, Economics and Philosophy. The Graduate School last year awarded twenty- four Master's degrees in Arts and in Sciences. The Saturday Morning Extension School is con- ducted at Hallahan Catholic Girls High School and at Villanova each Saturday morning. This year the registration was over seven hundred students. The Evening Session was established in 1934. This activity, also conducted at Hallahan High School, benefits those who are unable to attend either the Summer or Saturday Morning Extension School. The wisdom of this new venture has been demonstrated by the number who register every session and the increase in the evenings the School is conducted. The time is often used to get a breath of fresh air and take a short stroll in the shade of campus trees. In the Kolinrr Bacteriology Laboratory, nuns make blood tests, study serums, and often make original re- searches. Knowledge gathered here is put to excellent use in training young school children along hygienic lines. In the Histology Laboratory, slides and microscopes unveil the intricacies of all the tissues in the human body. Sisters show intense interest in science, make excellent students.

Yes, the dignified seniors were once hut lowly freshmen. The era began September 15, 1935. Hardly had we descended to the station platform, after the conductor's chant of “Villanova! or emerged from heavily-laden cars, when wc were herded into groups by what appeared to Iv white-capped policemen and escorted into Men- del Hall. After being thrust into the complexity of registration we emerged with assigned room numbers, blankets, bulbs, and keys, only to fall under the white cap influence again. Graciously accepting from them the traditional dink, black bow-tie, identi- fication button, a book of prohibitions, and a few crisp orders, we arrived within the assigned room. Strangers introduced themselves as roommates, luggage was un- packed. other strangers sauntered in and became acquainted, hours were spent on interior decorations, tall stories were told, many laughs provided, and friendships blossomed. Evening witnessed initial trips to neighboring towns, discover)' of their main attrac- tions, and perhaps the first weakening of home attach- ments and promises. WHITE CAPS DISTURBING The white-capped sophomores continued to hound us. As beasts of burden we carried trunks; as slaves we provided matches and wore regs ; as imitators wc learned the college songs and yells, its traditions and history; as prisoners we marched in file to the football games. In school, themes and assignments came due with unsettling regularity; quarterly grades were abysmally low; reformator)' resolutions were made and quickly broken. Regs were abolished after the usual “mud- fest in the college pond. Came our introduction to the college social whirl at the Sophomore Cotillion. Holidays and mid-years rose over the horizon and set in the chasm of the past, leaving behind varied mem- ories. After dancing to Glen Gray at the Belle Air Ball, Spring finally rolled around. Textbooks gath- ered dust on their shelves, forlorn and forgotten. Poli- ticians became active in class organization for the Sophomore year, with resulting election of Walsh, Howe, O'Brien and Kutz. Jan Garber climaxed the social season at the Junior Prom, and with final exam- inations over, wc bid a short adieu to Villanova. The first picture of the class of 1939 as a group. Here are men from all parts of the United States, ath- letes, scholars, leaders, ar.d just ordinary college men. whose personalities combined to produce one of the most outstanding classes at Villanova, bringing her even more prestige—athletic and scholastic. CLASS OF 1939 68 Dn RLuq “Pinkl FORECASTED BRILLIANT FUTURE The athletic members of the class of 1939 forecast a brilliant future for Villanova's teams. In football, although at that time engaging in no inter collegiate schedule, the “Kittens” were on the practice field daily from registration until the close of the varsity schedule, receiving a solid foundation in fundamentals and priming the varsity for its encounters. Buck, Kubcr, Cochrane, Buckley and Dymond proved their high calibre during the spring practice, and were to wind up their careers in two successive undefeated seasons, in both of which Wysocki was destined to gain All-American honors. GAVE AMPLE EVIDENCE As freshmen, present senior basketeers gave ample evidence of the exceptionally high class game to be expected from them in varsity competition. With eighteen victories against the best of opposition, they furnished Villanova's first undefeated court season. The Temple Owlets with a string of twenty-nine vic- tories were among the casualties. In 1938 they re- peated by giving the National Champions one of their two lacings. Tlve senior year still found Kru- tulis, Montgomery, Vigilante and Dubino “pegging them up in such style as to warrant Villanova an invitation to the National Championships. From this group come All-American Johnny Wy- socki, Harvey Buek, Bob Buckley, Val Rizzo, and many other stellar football players who were to give Villanova her greatest foot- ball prosperity, lose only four games in four years and go through two unde- feated seasons. An undefeated freshman squad which early showed promise of the fame they would bring to Villanova. Vigilante, Montgomery, Du- bino, Krutullis and others who combined to defeat the country’s national cham- pions in their third year and in their last year reach the semi-finals in the Na- tional Championship Tour- nament. 69 VILLANOVA COLLEGE ■@5 Jtfojahl ENSHROUDED BY SOPHISTICATION We were somewhat chagrined, upon our return, at the realization it felt no different to he a sophomore than a freshman. Upper classmen we certainly were, hut, nevertheless, found ourselves immersed in the same ignominy that obscured us in the yearling stage. Yet confidence welled stronger within us, and we were gradually hut surely being enshrouded by the veil of sophistication. A worm no more, we told ourselves, hut not others, and settled down to our sophomore sleep; a sleep filled with bright visions of the future; a year destined for slow and painful development. The quims and quams following the past year's election activities had been somewhat healed by summer sun- shine and political promises for the future. Sep- aratist tendencies were strongly in evidence as friend- ships were renewed and became more firmly en- trenched. In sports, in extra-curricular activity, and in scholastic ability the class came forth with that generous supply of energy so common to sophomores. 7 The claw of 19J9 in their second year, rank� slightly thinned but still going strong and ready to get into the swing of things. A FEW BROKEN BONES The freshmen came in as usual; some cocky, some suave, and some just plained scared ... all different. Their greenness was apparent, especially to us, their “unlegal guardians, and the regular corrections were in order. Greatly outnumbered, the governing few attempted to rule the masses and met with mediocre success, due to prevailing limitations. Class and mass consciousness aroused itself among the proletariat be- fore long, however, and in the end (Soph-Frosh Field Day) we took it all back with interest. Remember? Just a few broken bones, entirely too much mud, a squealing greased pig, bloody noses, tattered clothes, and a special ride back to the pond for the dude dousing by permission of ten very jubilant and de- termined Frosh. The freshmen, having proved them- selves not such a bad group and showing the bene- ficial results of our wise guidance, were judged com- petent to conduct themselves and given their freedom, while we turned to other fields of action. Our officers were already elected, our first dance lay just • head, and the Freshmen were awaiting their welcome. Sophomore upperclassmen now! I CLASS OF 1939 70 U n Whit a Our fi«t president, Dick Walsh, who later entered the seminary; Howe, future editor of the college paper; Kutz, who later withdrew from school; and Jim O'Brien who was the only one to be re-elected the following year. INITIAL VENTURE Upholding tradition, the Sophomore Cotillion, marked the initial social venture of the class. Super- vised by Chairman Hugh Furgerson, of afore-men- tioned “dude dousing fame, the affair was a roaring social event, and an exceptional financial success. In the meantime, we formulated plans and ideas for the events to come next year, as we danced to music in the Morgan manner at the Senior's Belle Air Ball and enjoyed the Junior Prom with Tommy Dorsey. EQUAL TO ANYTHING Ah, well . . . annus mirabilis, those were the days. Ambition, determination, and confidence overflowed within us. We didn't own the world, but we soon would, so we weren't especially interested in observing the proprietary rights of others. We were all demo- crats, in the sense that we were equal to anything and anybody. We weren’t overly educated, yet were impressed by our own knowledge. A really sanguine year; but, then, what sophomores aren't Indians. The Orientation Committee with Art Vigilanti a Chairman. Beside the Student Council, mem- bership to this committee is most coveted by college men because in their hands rests the very pleas- ant duty of acquainting Freshmen with Villanovan rules and regula- tions. 71 VILLA NOV A COLLEGE j (J. unioti SWASHBUCKLING POLITICIANS leaders for our most active year in college: Bob Howe, Treasurer; Jim Quigley, Vice-President; Jim O'Brien, Sec- retary, and Don Mackowski, President. To a chant now so familiar that reaction was automatic, we once again swing down to the train platform. The same place, the same train, but a dif- ferent personality, none the less. Two years of rub- bing shoulders in a varied world have knocked the corners off most of us. Neat, suave and smiling, we amble up the walk, pass the grotto and brace our- selves for a boringly familiar workout . . . endeav- oring to register. Neatest of the neat and wearing the broadest of smiles, came the finagling, blarneying, wire-pulling politicos for the junior elections. Still riding the crest a swashbuckling, thundering sophomore campaign they stride on to future wars and further triumphs with Donald Mackowski, henceforth to be known as junior class prexy: quiet Jim Quigley, vice-president; Doctor Bob Howe, treasurer; jovial Jim O'Brien, sec- retary. All in all they form a slate worthy of a great class and an active year. That smooth junior boredom proves anything but permanent, however. The preliminary skirmishes over, we drop quickly into a familiar, friendly groove . . • round upon round of bull-sessions, card crams, terpsi- chorean essays, athletic contests. Occasionally we crack that new text, as even the best of us must bow to academic demands and fulfill the “be prepared” slogan. The claw of 19J9 a Juniors, the biggest social year, with its class rings, blazers, and Junior Week. An intense political campaign had been fought for the class presidency. as always, because all committee chairmen and class speakers during Junior Week are appointed by him. The campaign over, class support was unanimous. CLASS OF 1939 72 CHOOSE ACCESSORIES JO n White flLayeti Tempus Fugit and under our capable class Proxy we start moving, too. Bill Leahy and Company un- dertakes the task of supplying several hundred indi- viduals with the customary class jewelry. Reams of paper, stacks of envelopes, numerous stamps are ex- pended. Replies, quotes, samples, a little haggling, some horse-trading technique and the selected repre- sentative finally appears to take our measures. A little waiting and we commence to carry the burden of heavy military rings worthy of the college they rep- resent. In much the same fashion, Martin Kassel! and his .doughty stalwarts cram our shoulders into natty blazers ... in preparation for junior activities. Climax . . . Maytime and Junior Week. For one whole week we're tops . . . and do we know it. Firm determination to imitate March is our attitude. Let's open our diaries to that section again. Ah. here it is . . . Tommy Carbine in charge.

Again we have remarks . . . this time by an erstwhile smoothie whose reputation for oil suf- fered somewhat on this occasion. Shovels are passed around. We give, each one of us, a merry heave-ho. The proficiency of some of us inspired serious discus- sion as to whether or not our true calling really lay in the professional fields. As the sun passes the meridian we spruce up and greet our mothers. A campus tour and luncheon follow. So ended the first day of a memorable Junior Week. Definitely, it was “our day.

From top to bottom: Calliet, Din- ner Dance Chairman; D’Ippolito, Blazer Ball Chairman; Furey, Junior Prom Chairman; Kassel, Bla cr Com- mittee Chairman; Holl. Mother’s Day Chairman, and Leahy, Ring Com- mittee Chairman. DER TAG” ARRIVES Anticipation of the main event caused the next few days to pass in a haze. We recall the Blazer Ball; D'Ippolito in charge. Tuxes appeared in rooms that were strangers to tuxes. The Bell Telephone Company reaps a harvest in nicklcs. The Day is approaching. Comes der tag. Junior Promenade with Hal Kemp assisting. A brilliant moon sailing through the clouds. Sleek, shining cars empty their happy, laughing burdens. Up the field house steps, through the bright foyer, we part the curtained portals into a shady paradise. Dreamy music; multi-lighted fountains. Hot music; clarinets, drums, pint size Judy Starr. Funny music; tricky brass, Saxey Dowell. Soft lights, drapes and flowers, sweet scents, lovely girls. Laughter, low voices whispering, a kiss in the dark. We stroll over the campus at intermission . . . nature's own para- dise ... a perfect, moonlit spring evening. We drop our sophistication for the moment as we recall one of our dearest memories, and then move onward, into reality again. H.il Kemp and his orchestra, winner in poll to select most popular band among Villanova students, provided music for what was generally acknowledged to be the best Junior Prom in years. Special hits were comical Saxie Dowell, songstress Judy Starr, and vocalist Bob Allen.

We witnessed and helped Villanova's stars ascend higher and brighter; scholastically, socially and athletically, than ever before. Unusual student achievements, some of national interest; brilliant affairs, climaxed by Will Osborne as the Belle Air Ball; triumphant victory marches ... in foot- ball, two undefeated teams, four lasses in four years; National Championship invitation in basketball; world's record in track; national champion in swimming; a strong baseball aggregation. Truly a successful year, a year of achievement . . . an inspira- tion, pattern, and goal for all our future endeavors. 19. McGladc 20. DeSimone 21. Rossi 22. Lawrence 23. Messer 24.

The realization is sudden; different from what we expected. Consciously we know we may return to Villanova, hut never again to those days when we walked the campus in a spirit of friendship. Our only recourse will be in memories of the many incidents, personalities, rendezvous and escapades that made those days enjoyable. An attempt to enumerate them is impractical, as each classmate in his own memories is his own best recorder. Suffice it to say that our life at Villanova has been enjoyable; our experience profitable; our education and friendships invaluable. 55. T. O'Brien 56. DeRosa 57. Schleicher 58. Hoi I 59. Moxti 60.

The collegiate episode is one of peculiar value. It sends young men back into the society from which they came, not as they were, but better trained in mind and body and equipped to become an important and useful part of that society. To the Jun- iors, Sophomores, and Freshmen, in turn, comes an added sense of value, added responsibility and pleas- ure, and increased ability to serve and to understand himself and the society in which he lives. The en- lightenment and progress of mankind are dependent on how well the individuals march in this procession. Thitd Ifeat den • • . ELECTIONS COMPLETED JUBILANT JUNIORS Work had been gotten under way at the close of the Sophomore year with the election of a fine set of officers. The class selected the following men: Presi- dent. William Sinnot; Vice-President, Timothy Waad: Secretary, Arthur Fanning; Treasurer, Bernard Bellcw. Entering the Junior year in college gives a student more of a thrill than entering college itself. The class of 1940 was no exception in experiencing this thrill and made plans to produce a year of success in all fields of endeavor, social, scholastic, and athletic. Father Falvcy, Junior Clui Moder- ator, who ha just completed hi busiest year guiding the class in the selection of rings and blazers, and helping in the production of an excellent Junior Week. 1.

Frank Pimpindla as chairman of the ring committee obtained what is generally considered the most beautiful specimen yet worn by Villanovans. Jerry Cassidy did an equally fine job with the distinc- tive Blue and White blazers, which brought forth much favorable comment at the Blazer Ball. Brad McManus, Chairman of Junior Week, worked like a trojan and brought forth real results. Charles Cavanaugh headed the Prom which featured a well- known orchestra and will be remembered in years to come as a fine affair. Frank Fitzpatrick did yeoman work on the Dinner Dance and obtained a Philadel- phia hotel for the location. Bob O'Brien and Ed Hanlon sponsored the remaining activities.

Elections for these offices are most closely contested of all class elections because of many appointments to be made for class functions during Junior Week. 133 VILLANOVA COLLEGE • • • Second IJeat Aien AMATEURS NO MORE INSTRUCT FRESHMEN Possessing a coat of tan, the Class of 1941 returned to Villanova after the brief Spring vacation. We had finished the well beaten path of the amateur and were prepared to assume the additional responsibilities and obligations of our advanced position. As Sophomores, it was our duty to see that the newly arrived Freshmen were adequately instructed in the ways and means of a College. Our supervision was extended to the full limit allowed in performing this traditional courtesy to the best of our ability. Moderator for the Sophomore Claw is Father Dunne. Most of hi duties consist in organizing the Orientation Committee to welcome incoming Frosh and advising them in the presentation of their first class dance, the Sophomore Cotillion. 1.

The Class of 1941 came under the guiding hand of Father Dunne, O.S.A. during the period of elections, the first visible sign of its existence since the field day demon- strations. The elections held, the class nominated and elected Murray Zealor president, William Deasy vice- president, Joseph Norton treasurer, and George Flannery secretary. Each man worked incessantly to make his class comparable to the finest. PLUNGE INTO SOCIAL WHIRL Two weeks after the opening of the school term on September 50th, the Sophomore Cotillion was pre- sented under the guidance of Chairman Edward Eichman. It was a brilliant success by its informality and plainness. Herewith was completed the social activities of the Class of 1941, a minor plunge into the social whirl; a successful one for bringing about association for the incoming freshmen to the fine society obtainable at Villanova. 141.

Many of the great undefeated team of last year have graduated and there is little hope of another undefeated season. Sports writers and football experts predict one, two, perhaps three defeats. Without that line of last year which yielded only one touchdown all season, indications are that the present Wildcat squad will he noticeably weaker on defense. And, unless a powerful passing attack can be produced, the offense should be equally weak. Coaches, trainers, and players arc determined to upset predictions as the practice grind begins. It is pre-season practice and weekday work that makes Saturday's score! «(('S' 4jow “They fttep te PRACTICE SESSIONS Lets go now! A September sun beats down on forty-five men in blue and white dotting a field of green. The old familiar “E-e-e-yh!” rings out as they dash from huddle to formation. The play, the pile-up, errors corrected, and the huddle. Substitutes work at the tackling dummy and the bucking machine. Later on, electric timers and huge mirrors will take the last flaw out of a precision machine. Summer-spoiled muscles lose their kinks; eager hands get back that pigskin touch. The Wildcat is sharpening his claws for a big year in Villanova football. The season is in! Racing, plunging, bruising Football is King! Villanova must prove itself to a nation of doubters The Wildcat eagerly awaits October first. Vinco McNally, genial assistant football coach, brought from the West Coast by Clipper Smith when he came to Villanova.

Down from Massachusetts have come the Aces of American International to test Villanova's grid machine in the only game of the season to be played at the Main Line Stadium. A cloudless blue sky brightens the spirit of a gala occasion. The blue of Villanova and the gold of American International are scattered in riotous profusion throughout the stands as the Fresh- men in their blue dinks, bow ties and knee-length trousers swing down Lancaster Pike behind the band, tie up traffic, and enter the stadium to a roaring cheer They are to get their first taste of Villanova football. RAZZLE-DAZZLE The shrill of the referee’s whistle opens the game and the Wildcat attack gets under way. Thrilling end runs, sensational passes and laterals, line bucks and quick kicks in lightning rapidity dazzle the oppo- sition. Before the final whistle it rolls up 59 points as a stubborn defense keeps the goal line uncrossed. Leaving the stands, Villanova rooters rejoice but Clipper Smith thinks of the polishing necessary before meeting Muhlenberg. Coach Clipper Smith prepare to tend in Neri, on knee, to left; Marrei, baby tank quarterback holding helmet, and Clem Andrew� , number 52, to stiffen the Villanova defense. 143 VILLANOVA COLLEGE Thitteenth Undefeated. ame VILLANOVA 25 MUHLENBERG 6 The Villanova football machine worked more smoothly in the second game, with im- provement in blocking and tackling. Here is Sabrinski about to be tackled after a long run. Nick Basca, Sophomore sensation, showed excellent form early in the season. He is an excellent broken field runner, kicker and passer. FRENZIED FANS On the eve of the Muhlenberg game, Mule followers have the entire city of Allentown agog over the pros- pect of a great upset in Eastern football circles. In the morning, hundreds of Wildcat fans, bound for Allentown, board special trains, motor, and “thumb their way in an eager desire to witness what promises to be the best football has to offer. Ten thousand fans gape when Clipper Smith, as always on his first appearance at a particular stadium, enters walking backwards and allows Muhlenberg to appear first on the field. CAPABLE ’CATS With the kick-off, Villanova's swing-time is in session. A blocked Muhlenberg kick, a forward pass and a lateral set up the first score and an interception and long run account for the second. Returning a punt sixty-five yards to the goal line puts Villanova farther ahead. Half-time, with its march of pajama- clad Muhlenberg freshmen, interrupts the scoring spec- tacle for a short time. But back in the game, a Wildcat pass and lateral count again. And Muhlen- berg's long run fixes the final score at 25 to 7. THE WILDCATS 144 A NECESSARY VICTORY Slowly now the Wildcats arc gaining a reputation as worthy successors to the undefeated team of last year. But, with Dixie danders up and win in their hearts, the Prayin' Colonels of Kentucky, Centre, storm into Philadelphia to yank Villanova from this pinnacle and regain their former national prestige. Defeat will mean shattered seasons for both. VILLANOVA 35 CENTRE 6 Philadelphia fan� got their first glimpse of the Wildcat team against Centre in Shibe Park. Here is Maz- zei being thrown after a short gain. Centre played cleanest game of any opponent, did not get penalized once. The most powerful weapon of the Villanova offense was its passing at- tack, which scored most of the touch- downs, counted for longest gains. Below, Stress about to gather in a long one. PHILADELPHIA DEBUT In the hope that Philadelphia fans, who have never supported a Wildcat team previously, will turn out in large numbers at Shibe Park, temporary stands have been erected along the sidelines to provide greater seating capacity and, incidentally, a more compact cheering section. The disappointing ten thousand onlookers are thrilled as the Wildcats score by every method except the field goal. Long sensational passe , recovered fumbles, the end-around and every trick in the hag are used as they score thirtyfive point . But Centre produces the most spectacular play of the day, a dazzling bit of football hocuspocus, when a pass, run, and two amazing laterals net a sixty-two yard advance and a touchdown on the next play. Certainly this exhibition will convince skeptical Philadelphia and pack the stands for next Sunday s game with the powerful Detroit. 145 VILLANOVA COLLEGE Detroit Pousne VILLANOVA 13 DETROIT 7 PHILADELPHIA TURNS OUT Forming long ticket lines three-deep, jamming traffic for blocks, and in general upsetting Philadelphia's usual Sunday tranquillity, twenty-five thousand fans jostle their way into Shibe Park to judge for themselves the calibre of Clipper Smith’s football team, hear the much talked of student cheering section, and watch the renowned Villanova band perform. So it is a tense, excited crowd that fidgets in the stands as the coin is tossed, the captains return to kneeling huddles of their team-mates who breathe a whispered prayer against injuries—and perhaps for victory—and then spread out in kick-off position. A DETROIT BARRAGE In the last ten minutes Detroit rains pass after pass downficld. With hoarse Villanovans yelling encour- agement and Clipper Smith nervously watching the big time clock, the Wildcats in a supreme effort hold them for eight downs inside the ten yard line. At last—the gun Limp fans stagger homeward. KICKING GAME It is a kittle of two stubborn lines who refuse to yield an inch and a question of which team can gain more in the exchange of kicks, until an off-tackle play with perfect blocking nets sixty yards and a Villanova score. After the conversion the kicking duel is re- sumed and a round of hearty applause follows when three Detroit kicks bounce out on the two yard line. Quickly, a blocked punt and a series of passes put Detroit only one point behind. Unable to open their powerful passing attack because of this slim lead, the Wildcats play a conservative game. Then an inter- ception and a goal-line dash sets the score at 13 to 6 in favor of Villanova. Now Detroit is aroused! Wysocki, all-American end, was criticised for hi� poor tackling throughout the game. Actually, he was in pain, tackling high to protect his note which had just been broken. Number 26, McMillan. Detroit negro end. was the best player on the field, con- tinually breaking up Wild- cat plays. Here a wide end run goes for a short gam. THE WILDCATS 146 GAMECOCKS PREPARED After the grind of the Detroit game the Wildcats, in need of a breather, journey to Orangeburg where their contest with the Gamecocks of South Carolina is the feature attraction of a mammoth county fair. The Gamecocks, pointing for this game, are prepared to throw in everything they have. PROBABLE WIN Little doubt of an easy victory is in the minds of students on the campus who are unable to make the long trip and arc gathered in the dormitories, where a radio voice, with the soft accent of the South, can be heard announcing starting line-ups of the teams. VILLANOVA 6 SOUTH CAROLINA 6 Clmick. on one knee, is the most likely candidate for all-American honors at Villanova next year. With back to camera are Howlett (33), DiFillipo (29), Kamen (21). Hard tackling and tight defense were features of the game. Chisick, left, and Wysocki gang up on the ball carrier as Ma rei comes in from the secondary. PLUCK PERSONIFIED But events do not shape themselves according to indications. The plucky Gamecocks throw back threat after threat of a Wildcat score. Although on the de- fensive practically the whole time, the half ends with- out either team scoring a point. Listencrs-in back home are a little surprised but not worried. Wait till the last quarter when the reserves begin to tell and that passing attack begins to work. Shortly after the game is resumed, the Wildcats do unleash a touch- down pass but miss the extra point. The Gamecocks respond immediately with a withering attack that matches the first touchdown. Missing the point also, the score is 6-6. As the game enters the closing min- utes, frantic students bank on one last passing threat. But it is of no avail. Courageous South Carolina ties mighty Villanova! The impossible! 147 VILLANOVA COLLEGE O' et -@u(nctn Ncri, right halfback, being hit on an off'tackle thrust. Throughout the season he broke loose for sensational runs, only to have them called back because of team mates' misplays. Shader, plunging fullback, follows DiFillipo through the line.

The alumni, out in great numbers for Homecoming Day from all parts of the country, are wondering if they can come back, if they can rise to even greater heights than before that disastrous tie. Undoubtedly, the most crucial game, it must not—ean not—be lost! POTENT PASSES The Wildcats start at the very beginning of the game to bring their passing attack into play. Their first touchdown comes on a short pass over the line But the second is more spectacular as it travels fifty- five yards in the air and bounces out of the receiver's hands twice and is finally caught, to end an eternity of suspense in the student section. Eleven minutes gone now and the score stands, 12-0. Better than a point a minute! Now the Plainsmen respond with a sustained drive, featuring spinners through guard and over tackle, which ends in a neat pass and six points. At that uncomfortable score, the half ends.

CONVINCING VICTORY A few minutes after the start of the second half, an Auburn fumble is recovered. A line buck, two passes and a fake reverse give the Wildcats a third touch- down. As soon as they get the ball again, a play inside tackle gains thirty-five yards. Another long pass and opportune lateral chalk up six more points. Finally converting a point, the score stands 25-6. But Auburn is not through and rips a team of substitutes to pieces in a sustained drive which results in the final score of 25-12. Now no one can deny the greatness of the Villanova team. They have regained lost pres- tige. Now for Temple. Tempte 'Ttimmed. Captain Palmer (28), of Temple, shake hands with Kuber, Captain of Villanova, just before the coin is tossed. Both arc Philadelphia boys, played against each other in high school. CONNELLY PLAQUE SUPERSTITIOUS TRADITION On the cvc of the traditional game with Temple, a monster pep rally ts held in the spacious gymnasium. The band and the cheerleaders keep up a constant patter of songs, yells, and cheers. The roar is long and deafening as Fcdigan Hall wins the coveted Con- nelly Plaque, awarded annually to the dormitory which, in the opinion of the Student Council, has the best outside decorations on the campus. Fedigan Hotel men go wild. This is the second consecutive year of their supremacy over all other dormitories. The tattered yellow sweater of Tommy Lovett is now displayed. When this sweater has been present at the game, Villanova has never lost to Temple. It is, therefore, the duty of the Student Council Chair man to bring this sweater to the Temple game and see that it is well-protected. A series of pep talks follow and when Clipper Smith concludes, a concerted rush is made from the gym to the field where a huge struc- ture of oil-soaked kindling bursts into flame. A snake dance concludes the rally. All is ready. Lukac of Temple being slopped by Basca and a lineman. The Wildcat had Temple offense bottled up completely, ran wild themselves and had two touchdowns called back. The band was in high spirits, played continually through- out the game; put on superb performances with the Temple band at half time. VILLANOVA 20 TEMPLE 7 In the first few seconds of the game, Nichols was hit hard by Di Fillipo. Vilianova guard, knocking ball in the air, as shown in picture. Right end Nowak, number 20, caught it, ran for a touchdown. WILDCAT FEAST Thirty-two thousand fans jam Temple stadium and just as they settle down after the opening kick off. an alert Wildcat snatches a fumble out of the air and runs it back thirty-five yards to the goal line. Quickly they convert, the game is resumed, and the Wildcats go back to work. A thirty-five yard pass adds an- other six points and, in the second quarter, a forty- yard zig-zag through the entire Temple eleven makes it 20-0. A Temple pass makes the half-time score 20-7. SEVEN TO THREE In splendid regalia, the Vilianova band, pride of every student, goes through a series of marches and countermarches and the twisted contortions of word- spelling that draws spontaneous ovations from both stands. The Temple band is also in fine fettle and the two put chi an exceptional performance. Now play is resumed, but with touchdowns called back and a team made up mostly of unseasoned reserves, the Wildcat is through scoring for the day. The game ends in a Villanovan victory, the seventh of ten. Along with the band the cheer leaden supplied plenty of collegiate football color. Weather, how- ever, was disappointingly warm. Basca being pulled down after a short gain. In the background in black jersey are Howlett (33) and McMahon (40). Holton Heaned VILLANOVA 39 BOSTON U. 6 MUCK AND MIRE The press box at Boston’s Fenway Park with Byron Saam broadcasting and motion picture cameras turning. Every Villanova game but the first was broadcast over the Atlantic hook-up. Jubilant over its Temple victory the mighty Villanova football team, supported by a host of students, arrives in Boston to engage their next foe. the scrappy Terriers of Boston U. Much to the detriment of Coach Clipper Smith’s complicated precision system, the game is played in a driving, treacherous New England rainstorm, rendering Fenway Park a wallowing mass of mud. Recognizing this as an advantage, and realizing the prestige to be gained by shat' tcring the two year record of the Wildcats, the Terriers fight a dogged, determined game. NINETEEN STRAIGHT Under the circumstances, the Wildcats could be pardoned for choosing to protect the record by playing it safe, using only line plunges, end runs, and hugging the ball to eke out a sane, narrow margin of victory. But they audaciously employ intricate spinners, reverses, and forward passes to score three touchdowns. The re- maining three are the results of slippery, sliding, breath-taking runs. Again Clipper Smith substitutes unseasoned reserves and Boston U is able to unloose a passing attack carrying sixty-two yards for their lone score, making it 39-6. Marching in ankle-deep mud, the band left right rows of distinct tracks a it came up the field, played swing numbers, drew several rounds of applause. Almost the entire game was played in a driving rain quickly soaked players to the skin, held down attendance to a minimum, and made photography difficult. THE WILDCATS 152 Snow, mixed with rain and sleet, hampered Wildcat preci- sion plays all afternoon. Here McMahon. Number 40, breaks through the line, picks up a few yards. Urbellis, on a slippery left end sweep, which netted a first down for Villanova at the Polo Grounds. Victory gave Wildcats' twentieth undefeated game. Between halves, shivering spectator swarmed to the refreshment stand, gulped half-cold hot dogs in an effort to get warm. Undefeated in Two Seasons VILLANOVA 20 MANHATTAN 0 LAST CHANCE Thanksgiving Day at New York's historic Polo Grounds and the undefeated Wildcats arc about to display their prowess before the critical eyes of the Big Town fans. The Manhattan Jaspers mindful of the opportunity of last crack at the Wildcats' imposing national record, await—a trifle grimly—the opening whistle. Bitter cold weather with the threat of heavy snows has kept down an other wise large crowd. Spectators stamp their feet, grumble at the cold, and pray the snow will hold off till they get home, as Villanova pre pares to kick off. UNDEFEATED As in many previous games, the Wildcats score in the first few minutes- a blocked kick followed by a pass. Then a driving rain pours down and before the second quarter the field is a quagmire. But Villanova makes another pass count and it looks like another Wildcat victory. Between halves the rain changes to sleet and the muddy field is turned into a skating pond. In the next quarter an' other pass accounts for the last touchdown and the final score stands at 20 to 0.

Coach A1 Severance had a squad of eight veterans sprinkled with the cream of the prc' vious freshman team, a group heralded by pre-season dopesters as one of the classiest of the East. The Cats were off to a flying start chalking up six straight wins bowling over Roanoke, Loyola (Baltimore), Rider, Albright, Western Maryland and Baltimore. This gave the Cats an opportunity to show their wares against top- flight opposition and on each occasion the Main Liners proved that they had power to spare. In these early games the Wildcats were sparked by Duzminski who was injured in the Baltimore fray and was not to see action again until the end of the season. MID-WEST JINX The basketeers tasted their first defeat when they lost to the high-scoring Illinois five on the Convention Hall boards. The Severance men curbed the prolific scoring of their Mid-Western foes but couldn't find the basket themselves. The game was close all the way, but the Illinois team took home a 28-22 decision. The Cats journeyed to Chicago and met the towering Loyola five and suffered their second consecutive defeat before a packed house in the Armory. Returning to their own Field House the Blue and White romped to easy wins over Dickinson and hapless St. John's of Maryland and added a 37-26 victory over Catholic U. in the nation's capitol before running afoul of DePaul and Bobby Neu. Unable to stop Neu who scored 24 points for a new Convention Hall record the Severance coached five lost 36-29—their third setback of the season. Montgomery drops one in during the St. Joe game.

EXCELLENT SEASON Led by Captain Montgomery and diminutive Mike Lazorchak the Wildcats crushed their arch-rivals, the Temple Owls 44-29 and then took over Geneva and St. Francis in close encounters. They added another when they again trounced Dickinson but fell prey to the Red Birds of St. John's. The New Yorkers were decidedly “on and were too much for the Cats. A close 37-31 conquest of P. M. C. was an additional feather in the Severance cap. A much wanted but surprisingly victory over St. Joseph's and a well de- served triymph over the N. Y. U. Violets completed Villanova's Convention Hall schedule. Lehigh lost a thriller in a Merriwell finish and Moravian was humbled before the Cats tix k themselves to New York's Garden to display their wares. With Johnny Krutulis leading the way the Blue and White finished up their regular season with a 37-30 victory over City College. This marked the close of the college careers of Captain Jim Montgomery, Johnny Krutulis. Lou Dubino and Art Vigilante. They contributed four years of good ball and will be sorely missed when the next season rolls around. Coach Al Severance ha� compiled an ex- cellent record in hi three year —winning 16 out of 23, 25 out of 30, and 19 out of 23, respectively. 157 VILLA NOV A COLLEGE RailetbaU NATIONAL TOURNAMENT As a fitting tribute to Coach Severance and the team's record of nineteen wins and four losses the Wildcats were tendered an invitation to the N.C.A.A. tournament to be held in Penn's Palestra where they competed with Brown. Ohio State, and Wake Forest in the Eastern division. It meant more hard practice but also a crack at the national championship.

ELIMINATED IN SEMI-FINALS Villanova drew Brown for the opening round of the N.C.A.A. tournament and subdued the New England' ere with only a minimum of difficulty 42-30. The next night was, however, a different story. Ohio State, which had defeated Wake Forest in the opening round started fast against the Cats who found themselves trailing 25-10 at halftime. They fought back strongly in the second half but the lead was too much and the Buckeyes won 53-36. After beating Brown in the preliminaries, Villanova lost to Ohio State, conqueror of Wake Forrest, and was elim- inated.

L B G LEAGUE INTEREST The past season saw Villanova with a baseball line' up that was the cause of great anxiety among the opposition and created a hubbub of interest among the big time scouts. The Villanova nine was studded with such Senior potential greats as Captain Ray Stoviak and Walt Szweczyk, outfielders: Mike Garbark. catcher; Frank Escott and Big Bill McLaughlin, pitchers. Coach Jacobs looked proudly on this squad that was stronger than any he had coached before at Villanova. SLUGGERS STRUT THEIR STUFF The opening game jinx prevailed as in previous years and Princeton took the first. 11 to 3. Soon, how- ever, the Cats crossed bats with the Penn team at Franklin Field. Lou Wannemachers home runs were the longest seen at that field in many years. Captain Stoviak also whacked out a homer and a double to contribute his share to 10 to 7 victory for the Main Line gang. Every game had its highlights and whether in victory or defeat the Wildcat nine had to hustle to be voted among the tops in college baseball. DOC CONTINUES TRADITION It was a pleasure to behold this 1938 team in action. The boys on the field and on the bench took part in every game when Villanova played. Is it any wonder that this club hung up the enviable record it did! Every game with these boys was a championship game, it was not often that they could meet the same team more than once in the same season. So let us give a well deserved word of praise to Coach George Jacobs for bringing his squad through in such fine style and for adding another great season to an already great baseball tradition.

SPRING WARM-UP Old Man Weather gave eager hall players an un- forscen break this year and the hoys were outdoors a few weeks earlier than usual loosening the kinks of the long winter lay-off. The opening day of practice this year brought forth a greater turnout of candidates than ever before. Each position is at least two deep and it will be a neck and neck race for starting line- up jobs. Coach “Doc Jacobs' major problem this year will be that of selecting the better men to fill the nine varsity positions. PROSPECTIVE STARTERS Looking over the prospects we can not help but see second baseman, Frank Crawley as lead-off man for his third and last year. Bob Bond, senior first sacker, the team's chatter man, will be seen driving home those much needed runs. Taking off the mask we find Art Vigilante, another senior. With Art Ix'hind the plate we have assurance of a great defense, and at the plate a hard hitter. Senior Joe Desmond, whose speed ball is cutting the corner closer than ever, promises many victories with that right arm this year. Lou Wannamacher, the remaining Senior, will better his record as number four hitter and as one of the best centcrficlders in college baseball. ACCENT ON SWAT It is fortunate that the Wildcat team is so well fortified with good material when such teams as Temple, Fordham, Providence, and Penn State give us an unusually stiff schedule. The accent is on hitting as never before. With our slugging seniors aided by such men as Donahue, Basca, Pash, and Howlett we are assured of proficiency in that department. And to make opponent batsmen I x k impotent we have Des- mond, Choquette, Sisco, O'Leary and Nicholas to serve them up. We look forward to a great season, and perhaps the greatest season in Villanova baseball history', for we know we have the men who can deliver the goods. 163 VILLANOVA COLLEGE TRACK Coach Jim Elliot, former star at Villanova, has brought track its former prominence here and produced two undefeated squads.

Games TWO UNDEFEATED SEASONS Villanova's track teams have been up and coming for last two years and this year's edition promises to be better than ever before. The 1938 fleet-footed Wildcat warriors raced to their second undefeated season when they overcame the runners of Juniata, Rider. West Chester, and Franklin and Marshall. This glorious finish of our last season has been carried into our indoor season of the past winner. Villanova sent its candidates to many of the East's major col- legiate meets. RECORD TIME The relay team of Bcllew, Yankauskas, Dobbins, and Guiteras raced to thrilling victories in three out of five meets, and finished second and third in the re- maining two meets. Johnny Maher, stellar Villanova sprintman, placed second in the bitterly contested fifty yard record sprint. Both runners finished in the record time of 5.1 with the decision given to Bcrnie Ewell of Penn State. It has been the sincere endeavor of Philadelphia fans and papers to see Johnny receive official recognition as co-holder of this record time. Coach Jumbo Elliot in his comments on future indoor meets predicts even better results from Maher, who promises to be among the great of intercollegiate racing stars. The loss of Bill Dobbins will seriously hamper the efforts of next year's relay team, but a host of new candidates brighten the horizon for that department. PROBABLE UNDEFEATED SEASON There is the expectation of another undefeated sea- son this spring. However, as the schedule shows, there is present some of the stiffest opposition in college circles. In the sprints Johnny Maher and Vytold Urbellis are expected to handle any and all competition effectively. In the middle distances Bcllew, Guiteras, Dobbins, and Yankauskas should show the speed that made for their fine performance as a relay team. In the mile and two mile, Tom Delate has a big job as he is the only distance man with any experience. Tim Waad, Art Murphy, Tom Haynes and Lcn Kolcnda have shown unusual prowess in field events and it is Coach Elliot's belief that these men will successfully master this division.

A. C. THE WILDCATS : 166 BOXING THE WINNAHS! Mid-winter workouts, the steady drum of punching bags, the slap of leather against flesh, all foretold that the boxing team was ready to swing into action. The Villanova mittmen first demonstrated their pugilistic capabilities in an exhibition meet with the Haverford Boys' Club of Philadelphia. Mike Ariano, Gerry Lynam, Bob Mentzinger, John Nojunas, Buzz Mowcn, and Co-captains Eddie Kirk and Bill Duffy, all whipped through their bouts in masterly manner, giving adequate evidence of becoming collegiate winners. BOXERS A TRAVELING TEAM The Blue battlers travelled down to Washington to inaugurate the season against the intrepid Catholic University team. Through a splendid display of ring- manship the Wildcats captured the meet with a 4l 2 to 3 2 score. Duffy, Kirk, Ariano and Mentzinger hung up victories while heavyweight Ed Killian was awarded a draw. The team next invaded New York and tangled with the renowned fisticuffers of City College. When the boys stopped throwing lefts and rights the officials announced the final score to be 4-4. For the third encounter the Wildcat warriors squared- off against the leather swingers of Rutgers at New Brunswick and again battled to a 4-4 draw. TAKING IT ON THE CHIN The itinerant Cats journeyed out to Madison, Wis- consin, for the final meet of the year, opposing the boxers of Wisconsin University. They returned home stung by the first defeat of the season, the score being 6-2. Nojunas collected the lone Villanova win of the meet, and Ariano and Kirk chalked up a half a point each by virtue of their draw's. Despite the defeat suffered at Wisconsin, Coach Ray Gadsby is confident that next year promises a great season, as all his proteges will return with the invaluable experience garnered in this year's campaign against the top- notchers in the collegiate ring.

BEST SQUAD Climaxing the year by winning their last three meets the Wildcat mermen ended the most successful .season since the adoption of the sport at Villanova. The squad this year was undoubtedly the best team ever to represent the Main Line institution. The Cats got off to a good start by defeating Delaware and Swarthmore in their first two meets before they fell prey to the strong Pennsylvania and Franklin and Marshall squads. Rebounding, Coach Flocco’s tank- men downed Fordham, St. Francis and Rider to wind up their season with five wins and two losses. The schedule, arranged by Manager John Lind, was the toughest ever attempted by a Wildcat team. SMASH RECORDS Leading the record smashing was sophomore Walt Kelly, who won the National Junior A.A.U. fifty yard freestyle championship at Washington, D. C. He smashed the pool records for the fifty and one hundred yard dashes, swimming them in 24 and 54 seconds, respectively. Charley Timmins set a new diving record when he scored 97.83 points in competi- tion. Timmins lost only one event, as against six first places. The four hundred yard freestyle relay team of Pholcric, Steiret, Barrett and Kelley set a new college record of 3:53.4 and in the Fordham meet Ed Leahy, Paul Fitzmaurice and Pholcric set a new college mark of 3:26.8 in the three hundred yard medley relay. ONLY CAPTAIN GRADUATING The outlook for next year is very bright. For with the single exception of Captain Bill Bailey the team will be intact, and with the addition of several out- standing freshmen should be one of the best squads in the East. Dr. Ruggcrio Flocco in his two years of coaching has made remarkable progress with the swim- mers. He was a former low-board diving champion and is now considered one the East’s leading coaches. The schedule for next year will be longer and tougher with the addition of many name teams. THE WILDCATS 168 Scaled. lower left: Moore, Martin, Farnsworth. Leahy. In back of them: Coach Flocco.

However, with the return of six lettermen, a successful season is antici- pated. The schedule arranged by playing manager Lou Dubino includes seven traditional matches plus the addition of St. John’s of Brooklyn and Hampden- Sydney, both of whom will be met at Radnor Golf Club, the home grounds of our linksmen. The feature attraction this year will again lie the Maroon of Fordham and the Temple Owls, the Cat's arch-rivals in this sport. Last year the par-chasers tied the Maroon but lost to the Owls. SIX VETERANS The team will be led by Jim Dwyer who was re- elected Captain. Along with Dubino he will lie playing his fourth year of college golf. Cliff Randolph, Dave Morse, Charley Roche, and Joe Pagano, all of whom have benefited from a year’s experience, are expected to cop the remaining four berths. However they will have to keep their games at peak for, while little is known of the new aspirants, it is certain that they will press the veterans and possibly displace them. A junior varsity squad will be formed for those who do not make the varsity grade. With such a prospec- tive we look for great results from our golfers. INCREASING POPULARITY Although it is a so-called minor sport, tennis at Villanova has become increasingly popular with the years. During the last several seasons the team has enjoyed more than mild success, and the prospects for the future are very encouraging. Though many of the team’s regulars have been replaced by newcomers, the squad looks potentially stronger than any of former years. Throughout last year’s campaign, the netmen won five and lost six of their eleven matches. This season's schedule shows a line-up of twelve opponents including a number of the sport's foremost college aggregations. St. John's, Temple and Manhattan ap- pear to present the major problems. St. Joe’s and LaSalle, the latter a newcomer to the Cat schedule, are local “must” matches that will inspire traditional interest and keen rivalry. PROMISING PROSPECTS A Jay Vee schedule, a new innovation, is being planned this year in order to give more players a chance to participate in active competition and for the purpose of developing future varsity netmen. It is hoped that some likely prospects will be discovered when the intramural matches arc in full swing. Sev- eral excellent members were added to the varsity squad as a result of this activity last year. With the im- proved facilities for practice, Saul Wallach, Captain and Manager, expects to better the 1958 season record and perhaps bring the team to an undefeated close for the current season. VETERAN SQUAD The bulk of the work for the 1959 campaign will fall to those dependablcs of last year's squad, Dunne, Rappleyea, Wallcnbach, Schermcrhorn, Banagan, and Wallach. Other players who are in line for varsity posts are Somers, McGinnis, and Connors. The Wildcat racquctccrs should be well prepared to wade through their long schedule successfully as the squad now shows that balance of power necessary to compete with the best of the scheduled opposition. The proven steady play of the veterans plus the promise of these newcomers have merited the confidence of the student body that Villanova may look forward to its best inter- collegiate tennis record.

In the last few years the “Dollar and a Half” hoys have risen from the bottom of the heap to become a major contestant for league leadership. Rallying to meet the challenge, a challenge which carried the alternative of pulling Villanova out of its lethargy and redeem- ing its prestige among the league schools, this year the team came through. With this year's record somewhat more enviable, incentive inspired, and enthusiasm running high, Villanova looks to the future with covetous eyes on the championship cup. Coach Ray Stoviak, star of Clipper Smith gridiron machine, graduated from Villanova last year. In his first year as coach, he brought the hundred and fifties their best season. BEST RECORD Until 1937 the Villanova lightweights were the league's most consistent team, consistent in their ability to lose unfailingly. The rude awakening that jolted the league in 1937, when the Wildcat squad, properly incensed, clawed out a victory, was hut a forerunner of the havoc they would wreak within the group in 1938. This year's squad wound up the season with a win over the Lafayette team from Easton; two scoreless ties, one with the strong Rutgers eleven, and one with the local rivals from Penn. Princeton, Yale, and a newcomer to the league, Cornell, each slapped a loss on the Villanova record in three close struggles that found little wanting in the Wildcat opposition. ALL-AMERICANS ON THE 150’S TOO Weight may make a difference between a varsity squad and a 150 pound team hut that is the only difference it makes. The light- weights too have the skill, the fight, the fitness and all that makes for success on the football field. Within their ranks, players of out- standing ability are due the recognition showered upon the heads of their bigger brothers. When the Rutgers newspaper. The Targum, published an All-American 150 pound team, the name of Don Me- Gurk led all the rest in the selection of wingmen. Others of his teammates, Domenick, Woods, Lombardo and McManus, who were placed on second and third All-American teams, likewise share the pride Villanova has in its little varsity.

CLIPPER’S PROTEGE COACHING The 150 grid tiers this year were twice blessed—with the appoint- ment of Ray Stoviak, one of last year's varsity star performers as coach, a coach well-versed in that brand of winning football taught by the Wildcat mentor “Clipper” Smith, and blessed also in receiv- ing a greater number of team aspirants in answer to Stoviak s call for men to perform on the 1958 gridiron. This combination proved its worth, the team, placing its trust in the apt guidance of their coach; the coach, imparting the knowledge of the game garnered through years of varsity competition to the team, together sharing the praise of the college in establishing a better record than any previous Villanova 150 eleven. IVY LEAGUE OPPOSITION The little varsity, Villanova s 150's, have for years enjoyed the distinction of being one of the chosen few to compete with similar teams in the finest example of idealized football in these days of big-time athletes. Like Villanova -Princeton, Yale, Rutgers, Lafay- ette, Penn and recently Cornell—have placed great emphasis on the lightweight eleven in order to develop and to mature the spirit motivating the organization of the league. In short, to open the game to all students, eliminating the weight handicap evidenced in varsity competition. These colleges now find the 150 pounders vying with their big brothers for prominence in the campus sportlight.

Lightweight games are governed by regular college rules and have the same number of officials. FUTURE PROSPECTS A thorn to all coaches is the toll graduation takes from the ranks of a successful team. Coach Stoviak has this problem to face already, as next year's team will be without the services of such dependable veterans as as Jerry Holland, Harold Murphy, Joe Pagano, Carl Pantclco and Italo DeBartholomeis who will be lost through gradua- tion. In spite of this heavy loss Ray is looking forward to next season, confident that there will be capable and willing aspirants to fulfill the vacated berths these men will leave. Confident too, that the 1939 team will better the present record and possibly carry off a championship trophy at the close of the season. FOLLOWERS INCREASE The successful season enjoyed by the lightweights was accom- panied by renewed interest in their games on the part of the student body. Until this season, the team was accustomed to display their prowess to vacant stands, but this year the students realised that real football was to be seen when the blue and white tackled their big name opponents. The one-fifties have also gained many rooters from the Main Line section, which is accustomed to good football. Although the attendance at the games failed to pack our stadium, Coach Ray Stoviak and his squad can be justly proud of the increased attendance.

UNDEFEATED SEASON The 1938 Yearlings upheld the established custom of the former freshman squads when they, like the var- sity, finished the season with an undefeated record. The usually tough Du Pont Y. M. C. A. team was the first to bow to the Kittens, suffering a 26-0 lacing. The next victim was the Temple squad which went down in defeat before Doc Jacobs boys and handed Villanova another 26-0 victory. In the two remaining games mud and rain stopped the Wildcat romps and the struggles ended in deadlock scores, the Frosh from St. Francis collaborating with the Kittens in a scoreless sixty minutes, and the Diplomats of Franklin and Mar- shall evening it up at 7-7. GOOD PICKINGS The fine performance of this year's Frosh gridders gives promise of excellent varsity material next year. As a climax to the successful season, the Frosh warriors placed three of their members on the All-Eastern Freshman team, chosen by the sports editors of several college newspapers. Korisky, dynamic pile-driving center was chosen on the first team, while Stenn, a tackle, and Be hot, half-back, were placed on the second and third teams, respectively. The Kittens were in no way outdone by the varsity performers for they to boast of a prolonged undefeated record, theirs now stretching to twenty-three consecutive games.

The Frosh played fourteen games, winning eleven and dropping three. In the opener, the Rocbling A. C. fell, but the Kittens tcx k a beating in their next start from a strong Conshocken outfit. Then the Blue and White began piling up their victories. In fact, seven in a row bowed before the mighty Kittens. Among these victims were the powerful Brown Prep and the Temple Frosh teams.

VAST SYSTEM Seven years ago Villanova began its first intramural program. In previous years intramural activities were lacking effective organization, and consequently suffered the need of popular interest and active partici- pation of students. In the Fall of 1932 Reverend Edward McKee and Reverend John J. Vrana should' cred the task of shaping this embryonic shell into the strong well-ordered organization that is today foremost among Villanova s campus activities. The league was formed because these men fully realized that the majority of the students were incapable of participat- ing in the so-called major sports yet needed the benefits that are derived from an active interest in one or another form of sport. At last this objective has been accomplished and the greater number of the student body now enjoy the healthy advantages of wholesome athletic competition. At the conclusion of its seventh year the intramural league commands even more popu- larity, ever drawing new recruits to its service, and ever tightening that bond that draws Villanova men together. To Father McKee, its founder and moder- ator, is due the credit and admiration of the college and its students. Intramural games are the most hotly contested of any college athletics. Enthusiasm is not limited to students only, for the priest residing in the various halls are vehement fan . Above, Father Dunne protests a decision on the baseball diamond as Father McKee, amused, agrees with the umpire. At the Officials’ Table during the final game in the basketball playoff for intramural champion- ship.

INTRAMURALS 178 M IT It A L S BASKETBALL INTRAMURAL GYM All games of the regular season are contested in the Alumni gym, the smaller of the two floors on the campus. When the season is over more than sixty games have been played on the Alumni fltx r, just thoroughly renovated. Each team is fully equipped, as Father McKee has outfits for over one hundred players, and each team has its own distinctive uniform. QUICK GROWTH When Father McKee founded the Intramural league in 1932 he probably little realized the interest it would create throughout the following years. The league, which operates with six teams—Austin, Fedigan, Alumni. Mendel and the two Day Hop quintets is the outstanding non-varsity organization on the cam- pus.

McKee threw up the first Kill. The Mendel commuters comple- ted the opening ceremonies with a 52-28 conquest of the C F businessmen. Fedigan, with a line-up studded with stars of last years championship Austin five, conquered Fr. McKee's charges in the second game. Completing the first night’s play was the battle be- tween the two freshmen halls. In a rough and tumble contest the Mendel Penthousers conquered Fr. Dunne's Greenics by the count of 55-28. Two nights later Austin broke into the winning column when they took the measure of the C F. This game was close all the way but three Austin field goals in the last minute clinched the verdict. Completing the first week’s play, Fedigan and the Mendel Day-Hops con- quered the freshmen quintets. GIGOLOES TAKE LEAD With the start of the second week of play the boys really settled down to work in earnest. Austin, with Fioretti leading the way, continued its winning ways, drubbing Alumni and Mendel. The Fedigan Redshirts moved into undisputed leadership when they trounchcd the C F, and then defeated the Mendel commuters in a close, low-scoring game. Alumni won their first game when they whipped the Businessmen, but that defeat seemed to wake up the C F Day Hops for they turned in two victories in their next two starts, one a surprise conquest of the highly-regarded Mendel Day Hops. In these games the C F presented a revamped line-up featuring height and a long-shot attack. The Mendel Day Hops let it be known that they were in the thick of the fight when they ran up 71 points against Alumni, for a new league record. Dan Keating led this assault with 22 counters. INTRAMURALS 180 EaikatbaLL FEDIGAN AGAIN The Gigoloes continued their winning way when they downed the Alumni five and their arch-rivals, the Austin Firemen. This loss, plus defeats by both Day Hop quintets, pushed Fr. McKee’s squad down into fourth place. Fedigan hung up their seventh straight when they trouched Mendel and then added another over the C F five. A fast-improving Alumni team turned in two more victories before dropping their last two games of the first half. The fading Austin team fell before Fr Dunne's proteges in another low-scoring encounter In an all-important clash, the Fedigan Maroon scored over their nearest rivals, the Mendel Day Hops, and clinched first-half honors with a record of ten victories and no defeats. The Day Hops took second honors, a game ahead of their C F rivals. Austin copped fourth place just ahead of the two freshmen teams. C F SURPRISES Fedigan walloped Austin to start the second half. The much improved C F outfit crushed the other Day Hop five under a barrage of field goals. Mendel won a close one from Alumni and the race for second half honors was on. The C ii F then pulled the major upset of the season when they downed Fedigan. Led by O'Connell and Schelle the Businessmen were in front all the way. They followed this up with a victory over Austin and went into the league leader- ship. At this point Fr. McKee picked up an entirely new team headed by Burlington and Cuskcy. In their first start the new Austin five reversed the tables on the C ti F. halting the latter's five game winning streak, and starting one of their own that was to continue through to the finish of the season. The Mendel Day Hops then dropped Fedigan into third place when they beat the Gigoloes 44-36. In the air for a jump ball arc Lattenza, in white, and LoBalbo. To the left Coupe, Day Hop, and Con- nor .

Substitutions are plentiful, allowing all members of a team to play in each game. A squad usually has ten to eleven men. Stack and Hart in air. Behind them is Referee Pash. Others are Sweeney, Sandor and Borhetto. THE WIND UP Fedigan started a drive to regain top honors when they beat the Mendel outfit, but it was stopped when they again succumbed to the red-hot C F five. This defeat definitely removed the Gigoloes as a second half threat. C F also took over Alumni, and virtually clinched the honors for the half. Austin took over Fr. Dunne’s charges and then swamped the hapless Mendel team to take sole possession of second place, but still a full game behind the flying C Si F basketteers. Fedigan subdued the Mendel Day Hops to move within a game of the latter and moved in still closer when they defeated the Alumni aggregation twice. With Walt Burlington leading the way, Austin twice downed the Mendel Day Hops. Burlington scored 29 points in the first game for a new league record and then added 27 more the next night. This mark stood for just one day. For in the final game Don McGurk tossed in 34 counters as the C F took second half honors by beating Mendel again. C F CHAMPIONS The first game of the play-offs was, surprisingly, a defensive game with close guarding the feature. Baskets were few and far between in the first half, when the Gigoloes stepped out to a four point lead. Striving to overcome this lead, the Day Hops fought valiantly to the end but could not catch up. Jerry Sweeney, C F substitute led both clubs with nine points. The Day Hops came back to win the second game, 27-22. They pulled away in the second half lx fore Fedigan, led by Bochctto and Sandor, began a rally that was still five points short at the gun. The third and deciding game was by far the best of the scries. The Day Hops were off to a fast start, but midway in the period the Fedigan attack caught fire and they began to move up. The second half was nip and tuck and it was not until, with twenty seconds left on the clock, that the game was decided. A long toss by McGurk was the deciding basket and gave the C F their first championship. INTRAMURALS 182 RaiketbaU THE ALL INTRAMURAL The ultimate goal of every intra-mural eager is to gain a coveted position on the annual All Intra mural team. The practice of picking this team was started in 1936 and has proved a great incentive to the players. The All-star quintet, a second team, and honorable mentions arc chosen by a selected board that includes the moderator and coach of each club. Making this year's selections were: Fr. McKee, Fr. Vrana, Fr. Dunne, Fr. Sullivan, Fr. McQuade, Clem Lavin, Jack Stack and Lou Dubino. The voting was so close this year that when the votes were tabulated a tic for fifth position was found and, rather than try to distinguish between the two men, it was decided to award six first team berths. Joe Bochetta, the Fedigan sparkplug was chosen for the third straight year. Dan Keating of the Mendel Day Hops and Bud O’Connell of the Businessmen were honored for the second time. Other players selected were Bcrnie Crumb, Mendel’s high scoring ace, and Don McGurk and Jim Schelle, important cogs in the C F championship quintet. Selected on the second team were Sandor and La Balbo of Fedigan, and Fioretti and Burlington of the Austin five. SELECTION OF OFFICIALS The intramural director has always taken minute care in the selection of officials for the games. Only students with a keen knowledge of the court are chosen to officiate. Varsity courtmcnt usually handle the games. When this is not possible other competent men are selected. Though the random selection of officials has been very good, Fr. McKee with an eye toward improvement is establishing a board of approximately ten men who will “work’’ all games. This should bring about a standardization and an improvement in the officiating. VARSITY COACHES The selection of coaches for these teams is similar to selecting officials. Where possible, varsity basket- teers handle the reins and in other instances the moderators themselves assume control. In the past Art Vigilante. Lou Dubino and Jim Montgomery have been active along these lines. Fr. McKee is the perennial despot of the Austin brigade while Fr. Sul- livan and Fr. McQuade have been handling the two Mendel quintets. These men have done very well with practically raw material and limited time. Bochctto, Captain of the FediRan five, who won the first half title, shake hand with Stack, whose C 8C F Day Hop team won the second half crown. Between them are Pa h and Cuskey, who officiated. 183 VILLA NOV A COLLEGE Galysh lands a long left to the face of I zowjiki. Both were from Alumni Hall. No decision was rendered.

BOXING LOUGHRAN REFEREES The great increase in popularity has put Villanova's intramural boxing program on a par with its basket- ball program. The battles have been waged each year for the past six years, but it was last year's show that topped all previous efforts and provided the reawak- ened surge of interest in this year's bouts. Last year such notables as Connie Mack, Jerry Nugent, Marty McLaughlin, and Philadelphia's own Tommy Loughran attended these matches. Tommy took enough interest and was kind enough to step into the ring and take over the refereeing for a while. CROWD OF TWO THOUSAND This year's card, featuring sixteen bouts, drew a crowd of two thousand to the Field House and they were treated to an evening of really good leather- throwing. To make the evening more entertaining, Fr. McKee arranged a series of no-decision bouts be- tween the varsity mittmen and the Haverford Athletic Club. A touch of humor was injected when two comic grunt-and-groan matches were run off. Alumni Hall, last year s victors, successfully defended their title, but the results were much closer than in the previous year and it was not until the last bout had been fought that a winner could be determined. Mendel was second, followed by Austin, Fcdigan, and the Day Hops. intramurals 184 oxinj PLENTY OF ACTION Referee Bryan Hayes called together Nat DiPetrillo and Ed Walsh, both of Mendel, gave them their instructions, and sent them to their corners and the 1939 intramural tournament was under way. Walsh was off to a fast start and piled up a slight lead in the initial round, but wilted in the third round and DiPetrillo was declared the winner. A1 Holl, Day Hop, met and defeated Ed Larkin, a fellow commuter, in the 135 pound class to chalk up the first points for the Day Hops. The winner of the third bout was Frank Melograna, who sported the Fedigan Maroon. He defeated Day Hop Ed Kaufman in one of the evening's best bouts. A terrific right landed in the first by Melograna unsteadied Kaufman and he never fully recovered during the rest of the fight. A REAL SLUGFEST Losowski and Gaylsh, 135 pounders from Alumni Hall fought to a draw'. There was very little difference between the two fighters and the decision was well received. Then came the feature bout of the evening. In this Bill Piscione of Austin tangled with John Bushek. No punches were pulled as the contestants appeared serious and the battle developed into a real slugfest. The crowd could not contain themselves letting loose a barrage of cheers and yells of encour- agement which Referee Hayes did not even attempt to stifle. The bout was rumored as a grudge fight and it showed every resemblance, for it provided more action than any other of the evening’s battles. The result was a draw much to the displeasure of many fans who wanted a decision one way or the other. Austin Hall’ Brennan bores into Schreck of Mendel Hall. Brennan won. Some typical intramural boxing is staged Alumni. Fight was called a draw, rumored by Piscione of Austin and Bushek of to be a grudge fight. 185 VILLA NOV A COLLEGE 'Touch 'Tootlra.U WILD FOOTBALL Touch football is one of the fastest games on the campus. Although adapted from the orthodox style of football, it is nevertheless different from it in many respects. Instead of the regulation size football, a smaller ball, about one-third the size is used, which makes for more case in handling: tackling has given way to a touch of the hands to stop the ball-carrier; and the center stands erect while passing the ball. Anyone on the team, whether on the line or in the hack field, is an eligible pass-receiver. For this reason and because of the difficulty in gaining ground when the ordinary running play is used, the game usually resolves itself into a passing duel exclusively. The game is wide open and touchdowns are plenti- ful. Hastily devised and improvised plays arc the rule rather than the exception. Razzle-dazzle laterals and spinners pass the ball all over the back- ficld. while the rest of the team, far downficld, are wildly gesticulating and shouting for the ball. It is football at its wildest and wooliest enough to cause any football coach endless nightmares. LUNCHTIME PASTIME The old football field in hick of Mendel Hall pro- vides a convenient and suitable place for the game. It is usually played during the noon lunch hour and this field is near the resident students dining hall and the day students lunch counter. Not restricted by a season of any particular length, nor by the time of the year or the condition of the weather, it is started in the early part of the fall and continues throughout the year until late in the spring. In cold weather or warm, snowy or clear, these frenzied athletes, mostly engineers in need of a bit of diversion, can be seen running helter-skelter, shouting and yelling at the top of their voices until a bell calls them to afternoon classes and long hours in the lab. Spectators are plentiful and enthusiasm runs high —so high that the watchers often join in, for there is no definite number of players to cither team. This sometimes results in a little confusion but it is all in the game, and who cares what side scored the touchdown as long as it was scored? Five men to a side, the flashy engineer kick off to the opposition to begin a short and snappy game of touch football during the lunch hour. Frank Carroll juggles the ball on his fingertips as Ed Gla s comes in fast to block it. Regulation uniforms usually include vest, as shown above. INTRAMURALS 186 S -V Toucli 'Tootlrall NO RECOGNITION Touch football has not yet been officially recog' nized by the college authorities as part of the intra- mural athletic program at Villanova. But such recog- nition can not be long forthcoming. For who can long deny these valiant fellows who go forth to brave the elements, their fellow-men and even the consequent misery of violent exercise too soon after lunchtime. There remains only the formation of a league to remove the last obstacle in the way of official sanction. BIG CHANGE For many years touch football has been played on the campus in an unchanging style. Succeeding gener- ations of Villanova men have removed their coats, rolled up their trouser-legs, and played it with a regular-sized football. But this year its greatest innovation was made. The small football, handled with the ease of a baseball, was substituted. The change was made with much deliberation for these men are serious men, instilled with tradition.

BASEBALL MOST POPULAR Baseball is undoubtedly the most popular of the Spring sports and each year attracts not only more than enough players, hut also large turnouts of inter- ested spectators. The intramural league is composed of teams representing the four resident halls only, since the games arc played on Sunday and this elimin- ates Day Hop participation. It has operated along these lines for the past four years, and each year the team standing has been closely contested. Lost year, Austin Hall, led by Frank Castles, walked off with top honors. Castles pitched five of the six games played and turned in five victories to run his streak to seven straight. This year, Frank transferred his pos- sessions and ability to Fedigan and Austin was forced to find a new twirler. MENDEL FIELD All games arc contested on Mendel Field directly opposite the college dining hall and all are played on Sunday. The field is a good one for the sport since it docs not necessitate any cramping in the out- field. It is situated along Spring Mill road and attracts the attention of many passers-by so that it is not unusual to find a hundred or more spectators interestedly watching these games. Every year the field is rolled and thoroughly conditioned before the season starts. This year Fr. McKee was able to furnish each of the four halls with uniforms, and so increased the interest and color of the sport. All uniforms have a gray background with colored stripes denoting the separate halls. Next year it is planned to complete the full uniform by adding caps, socks, and other equipment. When this is done the intramural league will have the system that now exists within the basket- ball league._________ INTRAMURALS 188 OFF WITH THE CRACK OF THE BAT aieltaLi A large crowd was on hand to witness the opening game of the '39 season, and although the diamond was swept by heavy winds, they were treated to a good close hall game. After trailing Austin for five innings, the Fedigan Gigolocs bunched three hits off Carl Panteleo, and, aided by two errors, pushed two runs across to take home a three to two victory. Frank Castles pitched the entire seven innings for the Maroon and held Austin to one hit and two runs, both of the unearned variety, to notch his first triumph of the year and his eighth consecutive win of his short career in the league. Forkin got the only fire-house hit and Macek led the Fedigan sluggers with two solid raps. In the second game Mendel, sparkled by Aisenbray, took over the Alumni Greenies 8 to 6 in another thriller. Aisenbray took over the pitchers mound in the third inning and proceeded to fan ten batters in the remaining five innings. Nicora, Alumni out- fielder, was the only man to get more than one hit in the game. FEDIGAN TO THE FRONT Austin humbled Alumni behind the fine pitching of Carl Panteleo. Malone, Green pitcher, struck out sixteen, but four errors by his team-mates gave the Fire- men their winning margin. Fedigan moved into first place when they conquered Mendel, 7 to 1. Castles allowed but five scattered hits. In the final games of the first half, Mendel trounced Austin to take second honors, moving the upperclassmen into the third spot. The Penthouscrs jumped on Pantelcos offerings early in the game and continued their onslaught throughout the seven innings. Eighteen hits of a wide variety rattled off the Mendel bats, while Aisenbrey was setting the Austinites down with little difficulty. Fedigan clinched first half honors by beating Alumni 6 to 0. Malone allowed Fedigan only three hits, but walks and errors were plentiful and six Fedigan runs crossed the plate. The second half leadership should also go to Fedigan if Castles can maintain his sensational pitching pace. Mooney of Alumni i� pm out at the plate after attempting to make home on a hit to the infield by Laskey. Catcher is Murphy of Fedigan, whose team went on to win. Thoma stretches wide to take throw from third baseman and put out runner to first base, which stopped Mendel rally. 189 VILLA NOV A COLLEGE Tc ennii an d (jolt GOLF The golf tournament is another annual affair in the Intra-mural sports program. From this tournament many have emerged who later starred on the varsity and it is hoped that this year's tourney will produce a few more good niblick-wiclders. This tourney, as in the past, will he an eighteen-hole medal test staged at the Radnor Golf Links, although if present arrange- ments materialize the tournament may he changed into match play with the eighteen holes of medal play as a qualifying round. It is hoped that this plan will he approved since it would provide a fairer test and also increase the play for the contestants. This tourna- ment has generally featured low scores. John Curran, last year’s champion, turned in a card of 80, an excel- lent score for a tournament of this kind. Clubs are being cleaned and practice sessions are being conducted over the campus course every day by those aspiring to win this year’s event. Villanova’s golf enthusiasts arc now eagerly awaiting the day when the new champion will be crowned. TENNIS The Spring tennis tournament always attracts a host of racqucteers from the student body. For, with- out this chance to put their prowess to test, these enthusiasts would consider any intramural program a total failure. It is, as in other intramural activities, a stepping stone to a varsity squad and has brought out many who have later filled varsity berths. Jim Dwyer and Lloyd Rice, former winners of the coveted bauble, both served time with the intramural group before they broke into the varsity ranks. Weinfeld, Dunne, and Rappleyca, present varsity members are also pro- ducts of the mural tournament. The courts have lven re-surfaced this year and arc in better condition than ever and now furnish ideal playing and practice courts. With none of the former winners eligible, a new champion will be crowned this year. Little is known of the Freshmen potentialities at present, but it can be ventured that they will provide their share of good players. If enough interest is shown and enough candidates report, Father McKee expects to form a league similar to those now operating in other Intra- mural sports, another expansion in the fast growing program.

INTRAMURALS = 190 Pool, Rousllncj and Wtestlincj BOWLING Though there was no official bowling tournament in the college this year, the two alleys in the left wing of the Field House have not been wanting for action Under the supervision of Dan Crossmire and Tom McKimmey the alleys have been in constant use throughout the two semesters. While the sport has attracted its share of followers in the past it never before drew the interest that it has in the last two years. Realizing that there are many benefits to be derived from this sporting pastime many newcomers have been bitten by the bowling bug and can be found knocking over the pins in daily practice. The score sheets have shown a gradual improvement by all those that have taken to the sport. We now have many Class A bowlers and a horde of lesser lights striving to enter the more select group. WRESTLING Wrestling generally consists of a few bouts spicing the intramural boxing program. This year there were two such bouts. In the first Joe Cruse and George Bourus battled to a draw. The second match was a comic affair staged by footballers Dave DiFilippo and Tony Anderson. The match and the wrestling pro- gram ended as the two bumped heads and knocked each other out. POOL Pool, like bowling has no official place in the new intramural program but it draws from the student body enough interested participants to keep the tables in constant use. Four standard tables are located in the rear left wing of the Field House, yet these tab es are hardly enough to accommodate the many cue-wield- ers that flood this recreation room. At the beginning of every school year, these tables are thoroughly renovated and re-surfaced so that they are always in Pc™Cct playing condition. Dan Crossmire and Tom Me Kim- mey also care for the pool tables and upon them tal s the burden of keeping the equipment in playing order and supervising the use of the tables. Pool prow es excellent entertainment and relaxation for the f u“®nts during the long winter months and it would ’ a valuable addition to the intramural program, now ever, it has been impossible to bring about this organ ■'ration as yet.

THE 193� BELLE AIR NATIONAL HONORS In the last four years, with Father Falvey as moderator, the Belle Air has made great forward strides. In keeping with the modern trend, the stilted tone of former years has given way to the present livelier hook which portrays more fully the life and activity of the college. Its excellence has been recognized in the reception of All-American honors from the National Scholastic Press Association and of All-Catholic honors from the Catholic School Press Association. These awards, the highest the associations bestow, were won against the most difficult kind of competition from colleges all over the United States. YEAR-ROUND JOB Almost every afternoon from the beginning of the schcx� l year to the last deadline, there is a busy hum of activity in the office of the Belle Air. Staff photographers run in and out gathering equipment and checking assignments; copy is written and rewritten then pounded out on a typewriter; heated discussions rage concerning the theme of the book and the type of artwork. All apparently is confusion. But from this noise and clatter emerges the ideal toward which all arc striving— a bigger, better, and more complete Belle Air. a yearbook which will add just a little bit more to the prestige of Villanova College.

Winner of many awards, outstanding being the attainment of All-American Rank- ing from 1935 to 1938, not the least worth- while was the meritorious certificate won in the world-wide contest in 1937 in the Vatican City. This high ranking was attained through the willingness to work on the part of the student staff and a fine newsgathering ma- chine. It is nothing unusual for late yester- day s news to appear in this morning's paper despite the printer’s twenty-four hour dead- line. X O V A STAFF IN ACTION Entering the Villanotun office on any Fri- day, one might suspect he had wandered into a nut-hatch. There is much noise, a good deal of talking and numerous “excursions. But if our adventurer stays, the situation takes on a different aspect. The noise faded as the visi- tor becomes conscious of a hard-working ma- chine. Individual voices project themselves from the miasma of sound and become askers of intelligent questions, givers of crisp an- swers. The rushing about resolves itself into purposeful traveling under the guidance of Moderator Fr. McKee, Co-Editors Tofani and Howe, Sports Editor Pagano, Circulation Manager McGladc, and Business Manager Maekin. At the file, Gallagher and McGladc; standing behind them, Howe; at the type- writers. Dunn.

Since its revival three years ago after a lapse of several years, the members of the Belle Masque Dramatic Society have felt these thrills in their exceptionally fine productions. Per- haps Broadway will later thrill to their performances. THREE FINE PLAYS Over a brief span of three years, the society has produced some of the finest plays ever to reach Broadway; Journey's End, “Wintersct, and Room Service. Each has been under the capable direction of Mr. Anthony Frayne, and all represent some form of advancement of technique in dramatic talent. Top Left: Ray Manahan, as the blustering Mr. Wagner, was the biggest hit of the show, drew rounds of applause after each exit. On the right is Bob O’Brien, who took the part of the effem- inate hotel manager. Bottom Left: A crucial moment occurs when the show-backer’s lawyer gets suspicious at the last minute, does not want to sign contract.

In the year's rendition, the society rose to even greater heights than in previous productions; assuring the stability of quality necessary to held the prestige it now enjoys. The female roles were excel lently portrayed by members of the Jest and Jesture Club of Rosemont College. Adequately supplying the comedy through the medium of Irish humor were the two rollicking O'Briens; Marion and Jimmy. For good measure an O Connor, Manahan, McCabe, Barrett and Rice were added and comedy, humor, enjoyment and success were naturally at their pinnacle.

Not too preponderant nor yet infinitely delicate, Catholic Action here is a practical, efficiently running institution. Normal stu- dent life, far from being encumbered with it, is facil- itated spiritually, mentally, and physically during the daily routine. It gives to students a supernatural motive in all they undertake and the strength to carry on in the face of difficulty. This Catholic training yields a spiritual exultation far superior to the normal satis' faction in the completion of a task well done. ORGANIZATIONS NEEDED Although Catholicity and the resultant Catholic Action program is a common denominator of life at Villanova, this fact does not deny the existence of undergraduate organizations which concern themselves with this work in a specialized sense. Although the procedure carried out by the faculty and general stu- dent body is all encompassing, it is necessary that there be student organizations to carry out supple- mentary work and particular concentration, if fruitful progress is to be made. So we have groups which take the initiative and lead this work on the campus. ORGANIZATIONS 216 CATHOLIC PRESS APOSTOLATE Grouped around Father McKee are Harrington, Donovan, and Crumb. THREE SOCIETIES Exceptionally active and successful within Villanova arc the Sanctuary Society, the Holy Name Society, and the Catholic Press Apostolate. All three are, of course, instrumental in effecting the general purpose of their existence—the application of the principles constituting the Catholic ideal of life to practical use in the affairs of every' day—but they also have par ticular ends to fulfill. They proceed hand-in-hand although concerned with different purposes. Each organization has determined for itself the single, fixed objective which seems particularly worth-while and necessary here on the campus and one in which its members can easily become enthusiastically interested. One of these societies, the Catholic Press Apostolate. is still in the process of complete development but the program it carried out during the past year warrants an optimistic prophecy for its future. PARTICULAR ACTIVITIES As its individual goal, the Holy Name Society has the instruction and practice of a fitting respect for the Holy Name of Jesus and a more conscientious cleanliness of speech among Catholic men. Monthly the group attends Mass in a body, receives Holy Communion, and then reassembles for the Communion breakfast and business meeting. The Sanctuary' So- ciety renders assistance in the conduction of all re- ligious services at Villanova. Through this action its members become more intimately familiar with and appreciative of the devotions practiced by Holy Mother Church. Foremost among these is the Mass, with all its ceremonial dignity and solemnity. Un- obtrusively the Catholic Press Apostolate promotes Catholic Action in a unique manner by its distribu- tion of Catholic periodicals, newspapers, and pamph- lets. Members of the Sanctuary Society don cassocks and sur- plices in the sacristy before serving morning Mass . . . The Holy Name Society receives Holy Communion once a month in a body in the Chapel ... a moment of somber meditation before the side altar where vigil lights cast flickering shadows, a favorite retreat of the students. '1 r ' C V Xlnjineetinj Jfocietlei PART OF FINE SYSTEM Villanova College has a fine system of societies and fraternities. Each division of engineers has its own socjety with purpose in view of stimulating inter- est by lectures, trips, movies and other conventional means. The societies are the nucleus of activity of the various groups, having as center of their social life the engineer’s fraternity, the Phi Kappa Pi. Upon the campus the American Society of Civil Engineers, American Institute of Electrical Engineers, and Ameri- can Society of Mechanical Engineers have representa- tives. A yearling group of two seasons. The Villanova Chemical Engineering Society has now entered association with the nation-wide societies. C. E. PREVIEWS WORLD'S FAIR The American Society of Civil Engineers witnessed a very successful year under the guidance of faculty- advisor John Oakey, and officers James Carroll, Presi- dent; Cyril Daly, Vice-President; and Joseph Gallagher. Secretary-Treasurer. Clement Dinon, Chairman of the Trip Committee arranged many entertaining and interesting trips and lectures. The New York World’s Fair was first among the outstanding trips made during the year. Within its grounds practically every type of building and sewage construction was inspected. New York’s Lincoln Tunnel was the scene of another expedition. Here members of the society were given permission to go THE CHEMICAL ENGINEERING SOCIETY Finl Row—Robrecht, Smith, Kunberger, Malaspina.

Sev- era! members of the society attended the annual student convention at Lehigh University. M.E. SEES PRESSURE WELDING One of the larger groups of the campus engineering societies is the American Society of Mechanical En- gineers. Raymond MacGregor has been Chairman with John Seelaus Vice-Chairman, and John Heck Secretary-Treasurer. Notable in trips of the society was the Edge Mtx r Iron Works where pressure welding was explained and demonstrated to the visitors. The experiment in pulverised coal was described at the tour of the Philadelphia Sugar Company. In Decem- ber the A.S.M.E. held the sectional convention with representatives from Pennsylvania and Delaware Uni- versities, Haverford College and other colleges attend- ing. After this came tours of Westinghouse Turbine Plant, Stellar's Machine Tool and Frankford Arsenal. Ch. E. SHOWS INDUSTRIAL MOVIES The Chemical Engineer's Society is one of the newest and most active. The purpose of the society is to promote fellowship among the students and to consider topics which arc not included in the academic curriculum. A unique feature of the bi-weekly meetings is to have faculty and students alternate in arranging and presenting programs. The topics for student speeches are taken from recent issues of the Chemical Engi- neering Journals. Whenever possible liberal use is made of industrial movies and illustrative material. Early elections placed John A. Malaspina as Presi- dent. Edward Cierkowski Vice-President, and George Huluzca Secretary-Treasurer. Doctor Hanicsh has been the guiding factor and chief contributor to the success of the organization. E. E. VIEWS BROADCASTING Leadership this year has been vested in Frank Mozzi President, George Wilson Vice-President, Thomas Maley Treasurer, and Thomas Schaedler Secretary. The bi-monthly meetings were varied, consumed by lectures, moving pictures and trips. Among the many trips the long lines of the Ameri- can Telephone and Telegraph Company, used in broadcasting, were viewed by the entire group at the A.T.T. building in Philadelphia. At the annual Eastern Section Convention held at Haverford College, John B. Gehen presented a paper that was awarded first prize. This was a worthy finale of an active organization of this type. A.

DOWN THE FIELD In solid ranks and rows, this kind of Villanova swings on to the gridiron with a snap and precision much akin to the actions of cadets. To the sharp cadence of the drums they march and countermarch never missing a turn. To the spectators, the flashing blue and white uniforms and the glint of the sun on the instruments is part and parcel of football s glory. In this, Villanova makes it doubly so. The hard and torn turf is their stage, and the plaudits of the crowd their reward. Perhaps the grandest sight of all is the V, herald' ing the approaching rendition of our “Alma Mater. No matter how cynical the mind or hard the heart, no one can fail to thrill within himself when the thunder- ing drums and blending brass play the introduction. To the men in our kind we owe a vote of thanks and appreciation for their superb drilling, not only for the V, but their formations of our opponent’s initials. The brain-children of the leader, Mr. Ticl, coupled with the infinite patience of the personnel, make a finished product that swells the pride of k«h student and alumni. Formations are as much a part of a band’s life and color as its uniforms. And when the members listen to admonitions of line-straightening, position and pos- ture, they know the appearance value: and the result is one that few collegiate bands can hope to equal. KEYNOTE—VERSATILITY Do the time-worn and hackneyed marches claim the kind’s attention? Emphatically no. Last season ushered in the swing influence. Much to the delight of its listeners, the Villanova band blew right into the autumn air the stiains of several popular tunes which caused many jitterbugs no end of embarrassment. For how could they evidence their prowess in the restricted areas of a football stadium? Nevertheless, this new policy created a furor up in dear old Boston. Encore after encore was demanded and very obligingly delivered. The staid Bostonians emerged from a rain-swept ball park with an ethereal glow in their eyes. Why? Because a precedent had been broken—a college band had swung! The motto seems to be: play anything, anywhere, any time. We can praise the band’s spirit, patience, and ac- complishments. but if the lifeblood of variety docs not flow through the instruments, the healthy originality is gone. Our band has all this and more —a sense of responsibility for the school they represent. Never missing step, Eldracher twirls the baton in back of him. starts it over the cross-bar of the goal posts . - - K .... ,i,„ wnv Hnwn . . . repeats as tne band forms the familiar V” ... and brinRs it under his knee as the band plays in the backRround. Crowd meanwhile holds breath, relaxes as he finishes. Musical Ot9ani3ationS EXPONENTS OF SWINGOPATION To swing high, wide and handsome on the reeds, to ride out of this world in the brass, and to beat out a pulsing rhythm- these arc the ultimate aims of every' good dance combination. Accordingly, our orchestra applied its talents to these ends, and emerged in the early fall of last year with all these characteristics, producing a distinctive dance style with a varied “book. Throughout the year at our various dances and social affairs, the Villanovans have proved their worth. In addition to providing melodies for the student's terpsi- chorean pleasures, they have even assumed the exacting work of a ''pit orchestra. Playing for the musical comedy They Never Learn,” the swingsters ably followed the various vocalists and helped inmeasurably in sending the audience home humming the original songs. By dint of hard work and inherent ability these ten men have woven ten instruments into a melodic whole, and by their presence any dance is assured of success. SYMPHONIC SATISFACTION The subdued thunder of the kettle drums, the touch of bows to strings, the swell of reeds and horns, and the symphonic orchestra is off to a crashing crescendo of harmonic sound. We are taken through the intricate maze of move- ments, treated to personification in brass, the woeful wail of clarinets. Then suddenly the band unleashes its power to rise to the heights and die away to a hushed finish. Well may its members rise to receive the acclaim of the audience, for what is more com- pelling than a symphonic movement played by able musicians? Founded but a short year ago, this organization is called upon to combine serious and light subjects and present them creditably. In their initial attempt this year, we heard the sweetness of monastery bells, followed by a selection of descriptive circus movements. This evidence of versatility we must admire; truly the symphonic band is an asset to our musical lives. V I L L A N O VA A the Symphonic Band and Glee Club looked at their annual concert, which packed the Field House. MAGIC MALE HARMONY Raising the voice in song is every man's prerogative, and when evidenced in a practiced group it usually makes tor sweetness and tone quality. These latter essentials have been the keynote of Villanova Glee Clubs, and the finished product is a joy to listen to and an accomplishment to admire. Realising the latent ability in students that is too often wasted in showers and locker rooms. Villanova has looked upon its male chorus as a cultural asset, and under the expert tutelage of Father Ralph Handran, this organization proves this faith. Not necessarily for show purposes but for the enjoyment of the student, the Glee Club is in demand for any number of social engagements. Believing in quality above quantity, its membership of thirty-two men endeavor to present an attractive program of harmony. EMBRYO STARS Perhaps in the future we shall hear of one Villanova vocalist who capitalized on his training. The ad- vantages offered the singing student are cultural and practical, and with this thought in mind, the Glee Club has forged to the front by steady application. In its presentation, the Club has included soloists and a quartet. In its choice of arrangements, the light classics have precedent. And in its finished program these elements make up the diversification so necessary to audience acceptance. Thus the chorus points with pride to its record of enjoyable concerts, and justfiably so. No one can deny that the hushed blend of male voices is part of college life, and more than this it is descriptive of a joyous release from academics.

Within this tenet, social and extra-curricular activities are immediately justified, and become an immediate neces- sity. Numbered in these activities at Villanova are the seminars. Here, the student finds opportunity to ex- pound his theories; opportunity to present facts and problems; assimilate practical knowledge or enjoy a special diversion; and opportunity to do this under competent guidance. THE AMERICAN DREAM Behind this vast investment is a tremendous faith in the benefits of higher education. This faith is a cornerstone of any democratic philosophy, the pit and kernel of what writers since Jefferson have called the American Dream. Villanova is turning out her annual product, two hundred members of the Class of 1939. These men. and others like them, will in a generation occupy seats of authority throughout this country, de- voting themselves to the advancement of civilization. Only then can the products of Villanova s seminars help to materialize the American Dream. True to the spirit behind the investment, membership is open to those who feel that they have anything to give, or anything to gain through participation. RELIGIOUS Klein, Fr.

EDUCATION CHANGING LEISURE TIME USED Learning is still the prime reason for the existence of college. In this era of mass, higher education, learning lives on, but the principles which govern it have undergone sweeping changes. Free thought and opinion in open discussion is becoming the character- istic peculiar to this age. And the seminar is leading this movement. The seminar is a place where students work and play. The undergraduate having leisure time has devised a distinct design for its use. Whether or not it makes him a good scholar is not precisely its prime consideration. But it will develop in him a taste for and keener appreciation of the finer things in life PHILOSOPHY First Row: Holl, Carbine, Fr. Dwyer. Second Row: Calabro, Bon- giovani, Harrington.

Caminati NO COMPULSION At the seminar meetings, one is welcome to listen to lectures by authorities: to witness demonstrations by specialists; to express his thoughts in flowing disserta- tion; or, as in the manner of former President Coolidge, to say only a few words or just listen. Enthusiasm in the discussion rather than compulsion is relied on to bring out opinion. NEW ACCOMMODATIONS The great need of seminars in the past has been an adequate assembly place. The acquisition of Simpson Hall, a twenty-room building, admirably fulfills this need. There, enveloped in pleasant surroundings, stimulated by fireside warmth, students convene and, by keeping culture alive, make man fit for the world and the world fit for men.

The 'Tlatetnitiel PROVIDE INCENTIVE Among Villanova's oldest and most traditional organizations are the Phi Kappa Pi fraternity of the school of Technology and the Lambda Kappa Delta fraternity of the Science School. Incorporated within their constitutions is a statement that one of the ideals of a fraternity is to foster a common fellowship among its members and other students of the school. This ideal is fulfilled in the Fraternity meetings, initiations, discussions and tours. Supplementing these activities arc the social functions of a dance and smokers. Another, and perhaps most important, phase of frater nal organizations is to instill in its members the values of their professions and to provide incentive for high scholastic endeavors. SOCIALLY ACTIVE The Phi Kappa Pi fraternity limits its membership to Engineering students who attain certain scholastic rating and fulfill ocher requirements. Under President Anthony Cirrito the fraternity maintained the prestige held by the organization since its foundation. High- lights during the year are its Owl Hop, Dinner dance and Smokers: and the initiation and banquet. The Lambda Kappa Delta is the Science fraternity including only those of proven scholastic ability. Its ideals were taken from those set as standards by three great Catholic doctors, Luke, Cosmos and Damien, from whose initials the organization draws its Greek name. With John C. Uric as President the organiza- tion conducted its usual dances and initiation with abundant success. PHI KAPPA PI First Row: Glass. Carroll, Burke, Brown, Schacdlcr, Cirrito, Cierkowdti.

The discussions were always animated, the audiences large. Technicalities being eliminated the participants were candid in their statements. Villanova, Saint Joseph’s and Rosemont acted in turn as hosts. ? RADIO DEBATES Varsity debating passed through a fair year; yet there were several high-lights which relieved the season of monotony. Campus debates were sparsely at- tended—the universal complaint of college debate organizations. Several new members of ability were obtained; Thomas Moore and Gerry Lynam, who had no previous debate experience, and James Donovan and Murray Zealor, members of last years Freshman team. Included in the schedule were all the traditional rivals. The usual trips to New York City, New Jer- sey, and Northern Pennsylvania, together with one to Washington, D. C., were completed successfully. The society did not sponsor any radio debates but did. however, engage in several at the invitation of New York University, over Station WHN, and Swarthmorc College over Station WIP.

Tom Delate, Chairman of the Debate Council, consults Aristotle in the library. Debaters must be accurate, so Tom Moore checks with Webster’s Unabridged. Main points of his argument are typed out by Brad McMan- us, along with a few quotations- TRIO BROKEN The society was under the direction of Rev. Robert M. Sullivan, O.S.A., Moderator, Professor Anthony J- Fraync, Coach, and Thomas E. Delate, chairman of the E ebate Council. The long standing team of Calabro, Quigley and Delate was broken by Quigley's retirement from the society because of pressure from studies. His loss was keenly felt. Pershing Calabro finished out his fourth year as did Fred Waters w� th several fine deliveries. Robert Wilderotter. Robert O'Brien, and Bradley McManus, the Juniors in the organisation, turned in creditable performances. To- gether with Thomas Moore and Gerry Lynam they should form the backbone of the club next year. The oratorical contest manifested the ability of Beta Gamma as three of the finalists were members of the society. Debate itself, however, is lacking in vitality and if it is to be animated with continued vigor some changes in the set-up must be made. Either student audiences must be enticed to come out or debates will have to be staged off the campus. ENTHUSIASTIC FRESHMEN Resembling the Freshmen squad of 1935-36 this season's yearlings showed much spirit and enthusiasm in their forensic activities. Although limited to a short season and one trip they showed the makings of some fine future varsity teams. Rev. Robert M. Sullivan, O.S.A., acted as coach and moderator for the club. Early in the year Patrick Kenny was elected President and Armand Salerno, Manager and Secretary-. These two men were re- sponsible for drawing up the schedule. Thomas Me- Kimmey, William Schubert and Gerard Bel: were outstanding during the season for fine performances. The Freshman Team, just as the varsity, met all its traditional rivals. Haverford, Pennsylvania Univer- sity, Temple, Saint Joseph's, Saint John's, Princeton, Boston College, Roscmont, and Immaculata were among the schools engaged. Despite the interesting qualities of really pointed debates there were not even moderate audiences to give car to the pleadings from the rostrum. In this respect the Freshmen fared no better and no worse than the varsity. FRESHMAN DEBATERS Seated at tabic: Belt, Shu- bert, Fullam, Salerno, and McKimmey standing at rostrum.

He does not live on the campus. He only attends classes with the resident students and after class he returns home. He docs not enjoy the real college life which exists on the campus outside the classroom. He is not in touch with class affairs. He participates in few activities. Certainly, he can hold no major class office. In a collegiate sense, the day-hop “jest ain't.” COCKY FELLOW Popular opinion, however, has been led far astray. For at Villanova the day-hop is a potent factor in class affairs. A cocky fellow, he edits all publications, sweeps class elections, practically runs Junior Week, selects class rings and blazers, supplies most of our dramatic talent, walks off with the intramural prize- the basketball championship, and in general has his hand in everything of any importance on the campus. He is a regular fellow, though, and a true Villanovan. ORGANIZATIONS POWERFUL CLUB CLASS OFFICES The resident student has not experienced the frenzied fixing of a flat half way to school in the morning, or ridden ten miles with two hundred pounds on his lap. Nor has he felt the utter helplessness of “thumbing. He has never written a paper on a jolting train, crammed for an exam on a crowded bus, or slept beyond his stop on the P. W. Moreover, he is denied mem- bership in the most unique organization on the campus - an organization which has no constitution, no officers, no moderator, and conducts no meetings. It is denied recognition by the college authorities and does not even rate a picture in our yearbook, yet it is the largest on the campus. Yes, the Day-Hop even forms a club! The following campus offices arc held by Senior Day Hops: Class Offices President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Publication Editors Bf.llf.

At Villanova the buses are almost empty but they quickly fill up; look like this before getting off. 3. The P. W.'s high speed line takes Day- Hops to 69th Street in ten minutes. 4. If you want to ride in somebody else’ car, you must pitch in when tires go flat, even though these four have not yet left the parking lot. 5. There is always a fair chance of getting a lift into the city by thumbing in front of the college. 6. Or you can drive home yourself—if you have a car like he has. 7. Circle.
