n LD H 3 M . S- IS THE BELLE AIR 1946 vi 1 War is an unnatural condition for mankind. Tho war spirit of the past years reached peaks of insane action, when man. wilfully straying from Christ, deliberately fell into chaos con- sequent on the denial of his own dignity. The peoples of the earth have witnessed the perfection of the sciences and art of destruction which has not only changed the physical map of the world, but has profoundly altered the spiritual countenance of humanity itself. The clash ol arms has ceased. The buzzinq drone ol motors overhead dumping their cargoes ol death, have laded into the horizon ol time. The thunderous roar ol cannon, the crash ol burslinq shells, the stealthy tread ol skulking soldiers leet. the dripping spill ol the blood ol wounded men. their an- quished cries oi pain and the gasps ol their struggle with death are now laint echoes in the valleys ol Time. But on the minds cl waning men and warring peoples an indelible im- print has been cliected. In every land the soul oi man has drawn back in horror Irom the violence and brutality inherent in the methods oi total wariare. violence and brutality con- demned by their own results: death, atrocity, (amine, despair, ruin, and chaos. But Man must not lie and will reluse to lie helpless in the abyss ol this desolation. THE 1946 BEILE UR VILLANUVA EULLEGE VILLANUVA PENNSYLVANIA The recently ended war is bound lo cause, and has already caused, men lo begin to reexamine the beliefs on which the civilization of the Western world is founded. It is the duty of the- schools to enable future citizens and returning soldiers to reappraise the worth of the world in which they live, to reap- praise life in terms of human responsibility. It is especially the duty of the Catholic school to reaffirm to her children, her sons, and to all others who will listen to her voice, her message of the Eternal Values, for she alone possesses the message of truth. She must continue to pro- pose to men for their study her message of Creation and Redemption, her message of the soul's value, her messago of man’s responsibility to man. as she has learned them from Christ. And (he truths which she proposes for belief and practice must ever be the essence of. the keystone of. all true education, and the point from which all the reexamination of iife's meaning and life's value must begin.

The old spirit lies there, untouched and undaunted. A far cry irom the BELLE AIR ostato oi yesteryear, the physical and traditional characteristics during the past cen- tury hare developed rapidly into the Villanova oi today. Bordering a hall mile along the historical Lancaster Pilce. the spacious and beautilully lanscaped grounds pulsate with the lUo and tradition oi over a thousand students and teachers that hare made it what it is today—a living tribute to the providence oi Cod and human endeavor. n THE DORMITORIES ALUMN! Almost outstanding because oi its antlquatod appearanco. Alumni Hall stands as a romindor ol early days oi college life at Villanova. No other building on tho campus can tell more oi the history oi Villanova than this largo stucco covered stone building. In the first years oi tho school's existono the east wing providod classroom iacilities.. Today, ninety-eight years alter its erection, it is still in use as a dormitory. A basketball court on the first floor also supplies recroatlonal iacilities for tho students. The past year has witnessed a completo remodoling oi tho interior of the building. Today, it remains antiquated in appearance. 12 1 AUSTIN HALL Necessary to a pleasant college life are comlortable sleeping quarters. Austin Hall supplios this need. A ploasant and boautl- lul appearance. In addition to the most modorn ol facilities, makes it an idoal dormitory capablo oi accommodating one hundred and forty students, it now finds uso as a stooping quarters for tho Naval and Marine trainees. Pending the eroctlon ol a separate Library Building, the east wing houses tho library, as woll as reading and music rooms. FEDIGAN HALL Facing tho west wing of Mondol Hall and bordering on Spring Mill Road. Fedlgan Hall is situated on tho west extreme of the campus. Eorocted in 1930 to accomodate the ever increasing en- rollment of studonts the building provides dormitory space for one hundrod and twonty-elght students. Along with Austin Hall it has housed Naval and Marino trainees during the past two years. MENDEL HALL The largest and most outstanding building on tho campus. Mondol Hall is tho contor of school actirlty. Hore aro located executive oHices. classrooms, laboratories for Liboral Arts, Science, and Engineering. Twelve hundred students can bo accomodated in its classrooms, and an equal num- ber In its laboratories. In it also are located the cafotoria and dining hall. Tho Pio Shop situated in the east wing of Mendel Hall is the favorite gathering placo for students during their lolsure hours. 14 Above Is a view of Iho flag on Iho main drive way as seen through the entranco to Mendel Hall. Along with the towering spires of the Chapel, tho flag symbolizes the two-fold aim of Catholic education. Those alms include not only the molding of men who are good citizens but also the molding of citizens who are good mon. The education which Villanova offers is indeed a priceless possession. How- ever oven more priceless than the train- ing recoivod are the many pleasant hours which one spends in the com- pany of his follow students. No moro fertile ground can be had for the culti- vation of life long friendships than the oxistenco of tho common aim to gradu- ate and the united offort to attain this aim. No more picturesquo sight may be had than a view oi tho Villanova campus at the arrival oi spring. Its winding pathways aro shaded by numerous trees and lined with flowered bushes oi many colors. Possessing both grace and beauty it adds dignity to a sector which is reputed as ono of the most picturesque areas in the county. DELUREY HALL A glimpse of Dslurey Hall during the days activities. The increased enroll- ment and the cessation of construction during the war prompted the purchase of a number of private residences to supplement the inadequate dormitory space. Acquired in 1943 tor this purpose. Delurey Hall accommodates thirty students. Although not as improssivo in appearances as the other dormitories, its limited quarters promito a friendlier relationship among the students and it tends to doparl from the regimented life oi the larger residence halls.

O.S.A., serving his third year as President of the College, however, his is not a new profile among those of Villa- nova's administrators. Among the various rungs on the ladder leading to his presidency, Father McGuire paused at times to serve as Moderator of Athletics. Dean of Men. and Vice- President of the College. , w _ , ,, Having received his A.B. degree from Villanova in 1932. Father McGuire, after spending several years in Rome at the Gregorian University, received the degree of Doctor of Divinity in 1939. The most recent of his academic achievements occurred in 1945 when he was awarded an L.L.D. from LaSalle College. Having showed his deep rooted understanding and appreciative nature in his previously held positions. Father McGuire is presently coming into his real glory by carrying the stand- ards and policies of Villanova forward with all the capability and personality needed to ac- complish the ends for which the Office of President was created. Along with his presidential duties Father McGuire acts as chairman of the Committee on Post-War Education, which in these days of rehabilitation and revision is one of the most vital committees on the campus. In carrying out his administrative and advisory duties, he comes into contact with the Faculty, the Military Personnel, the Alumni and the Student Body. Such contacts show extensive qual- ities of leadership, intelligence and. above all. ability to meet any situation with a keen determination to always achieve greater glory for Villanova College. 19 The offlco of Vice-President Is in many organizations an office in titlo only; however, not so at Vtllanova College for the off-.co has been given full animation in the personage of Father Edward B. McKee, O.S.A. Along with the office of Vice-Prosidont goes the tasks of the Moderator ol Athletics. Horoin lies the duty of keep- ing dates open or closed, as need be the case, on the athletic calondar. Through tho channels of his office. Father McKee meets with not only tho administrators and athlotos of Villanova but also those of all our opponents, honco the reputation and policies of the collogo rest to great extont in the hands of this competent of- ficial. Through his personal effort and contacts with tho athletic leaders of other schools he has boon able to maintain tho well established high standing of Vlllanova's athletic program. In 1928 Villanova awarded Father McKee his Bachelor of Arts Degroo and in 1932 tho Catholic University of Amorica awarded tho Master of Arts Degree. He has also studied at tho Augustin- ian College, University of Saint Louis and the University of Pennsylvania. REV. EDWARD M. DWYER, O.S.A..

In November, the much waited for NROTC program was inauguarated along with its sister officer training curricula, the V-5 Naval Avia- tion Training Program, making Villanova College rank with the leading Naval Institutions in the coun- try. Due to his hospitalization in October. Commander Edward Hannah, USNR, was relieved of his com- mand of the V-12 unit by Captain Thomas C. Tho- mas, USN. A graduate of the United States Naval Academy, class of 1925, Captain Thomas was com- manding a division of high speed destroyer trans- ports before his transfer to Villanova College as commanding officer of the V-12 unit and the newly organized NROTC and V-5 training units. To assist him in the operation of the evergrowing units. Com- mander lames W. Whaley, also a graduate of the United States Naval Academy, was appointed to the post of executive officer. Due to the rapid ex- pansion and the wide spread activities of the Naval COMMANDER JAMES W. WHALEY. USN. Executive Officer of the Naval Training Unit . Training Programs, many new faces had to be in- troduced to the trainees at Villanova College. Among these were Lt. Gg) Harry Abraham, USNR and Lt. Gg) Robert Hecht, USNR, both of whom were transferred to Villanova College from destroyer duty in the Pacific to instruct courses in navigation. In November along with Lts. Gg) Abraham and Hecht, Lt. Elmer D. West, USNR and Lt. Wm. D. Groff. USNR, were added to the staff of the Naval Station for the purpose of presenting the NROTC students the large number of courses required under the Navy Program. Lt. West was an instructor in Naval Science and Tactics at Middlebury College previous to his assignment to Villanova College. Pending as- signment as an NROTC instructor at Yale University, Lt. Groff saw action in the North Africa, Sicily, and Normandy invasions, later being assigned to the staff at Ursinus College and finally as an instruc- tor at Villanova College. In December, after duty as gunnery officer on an ammunition ship the Pacific, Lt. Gg) Wm. T. Robert- son, USNR received orders assigning him to Villa- CAPTAIN ROGER S.

Lorenz, USNR (M O both of whom assumed their duties at Villanova College in November, 1944. Captain Roger S. Tous- saint, USMC, who relieved Captain Robert L. Mor- gan in July, as head of the Marine detachment at the school, was also retained. Familiar faces to us all are those of Lt. Commander Vincent A. Miles, USNR and Lt. Newton Craig, USNR, who in Novem- ber hastened the progress of future candidates of the NROTC then in the V-12 Program by instruction courses in Naval Policy and Tactics. As the congressional legislature stands at present the trainees will remain on active duty until July, 1946. The trainees completing eight terms will be commissioned as ensigns in the United States Naval Reserve. The future disposition of the training pro- gram is very indefinite however both the administra- tion and the trainees look to the future with the usual optomistic Naval outlook. FIRST ROW.

It has alv ays been the aim of the administrators to secure the finest available material for her teaching staff. From the numer- ically few men of the first year, the faculty has been augmented with the addition of new schools, and the increase in the student enrollment, until at present it numbers eighty members. The Villanova spirit cannot be better emphasized than through the men on its faculty, many of whom were former Villanova students. Each instructor inserts into the minds of his students that distinct individuality which he has acquired, but the faculty taken as a whole produce the well developed stu- dent, worthy of the name Villanova Gentleman.” In order to make it possible for the student to obtain a well balanced cur- riculum, the college has endeavored to offer as wide a choice of subjects as is feasible within the students particular field of study. It is in this manner that the graduate engineer, for example, is a combination of the professor of religion, the instructor in psychology, the teacher of the sciences—just as he is a product of the various departments of engineering. Each instructor both lay and clerical is equipped with extensive training for use in his chosen field of teaching. The clerical body of the faculty with few exceptions have received their collegiate training at Villanova. Most of their graduate work is completed at Catholic University, although some of them have continued advanced studies, and received degrees from the University of Pennsylvania, Gregorian College in Rome. Wurtzburg in Germany, Oxford in England, George Washington University, Columbia, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Rennselaer Polytechnic, and Fordham University. These are but a few of the institutions in which the clerical members of the faculty have pursued their respective studies. The lay instructors also play a prominent role in the teaching life at Villanova. Graduate work was completed in such institutions as the University of Pennsylvania, Iowa State, the University of Illinois. Notre Dame. Northwestern, University of Chicago, Cornell, George- town, Harvard, Dartmouth, Wisconsin and others. LT. H. C. ABRAHAM Naval Science and Tactics EMIL AMELOTTI Mathematics and Physics GEORGE H.

Separated from the college proper, the Scholas- ticate, school for aspirants to the holy priesthood in the Order of Saint Augustine, is an integral part of Villanova. Here, young men consecrated to God by the vows of religion, devote themselves to prayer, Christian asceticism, and study, after the example of their Father and Founder, Saint Augustine. Bishop of Hippo and illustrious Doctor of the Church. Daily the Augustinian Professed carry out the sacred liturgy of the Church in its entirety, if not in all its external splendor. All the canonical Hours of the Divine Office, leading up to and following the Conventual Mass, are chanted in choir. And, in addition, choir service peculiarly Augustinian is ren- dered each day with unfailing regularity. The course of studies followed leads to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Scholastic Philosophy and al- lied subjects dominate the seminary's curriculum, with sufficient variety to allow for individual under- graduate work in subjects for which students mani- fest a special liking and ability. Manual labor, so essential to Saint Augustine's mode of monastic life, is performed daily by the stu- dents of Saint Mary's Hall. Recreation, an important element in religious com- munity life, is of daily obligation, and the Professed participate in games or enjoy a walk each after- noon. Extra-curricular activities also flourish in the house of studies. Members of study clubs keep actively interested in foreign and domestic mission work, or in some type of work more properly Augustinian, such as Augustinian devotions and sodalities. And groups frequently assemble in free time for a dis- play of dramatic, oratorical, or musical talent. The Seminary has its own governing body. All that pertains to the courses of studies pursued by the Professed is directed by the Father Regent of Studies. The spiritual training of the candidates is entrusted to the Father Master of Professed. And the Father Procurator provides for the material needs of the entire community. These Fathers work with and un- der the direction of the Father Prior who. as local Superior, has authority over all the members of the community, both Priests and Professed. All the Professed are loyal Villanovans. They are aware that much more in the way of endeavor and attainment is expected of them than of the ordinary student, and they are proudly conscious of the fact that from their ranks will come the future administra- tors and professors of Villanova College. V ILL AN II VA'S nONTHIBUTIDN TU THE WAR On December 7, 1941 the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, and the United States was plunged into the Second World Conflict. This meant that the even tenor of peacetime college activities had to be changed in order to undertake a program designed to cope with the emergency which presented itself at the time. The inroads of defense demands were not immediately felt at the college level until sometime after Pearl Harbor. Just when the civilian student enrollment steadily decreased, Villanova was fa- vored by being chosen to train V-12 condidates for the Navy and Marine Corps. This utilization of the college facilities by the armed services for the train- ing of enlisted personnel was not a development of the present conflict however, for the First World War in 1918 gave rise to a student training pro- gram at Villanova, designed to combine military and academic training. Villanova is proud to re- port that each program was highly successful for both the college and the student trainees. When the V-12 Units matriculated at Villanova an accelerated scholastic schedule was introduced. The accelerated program was adopted primarily to enable Naval and Marine personnel to be avail- able to the armed services in a shorter period of time, and to give the student who had recently graduated from high school an opportunity to obtain a portion of his college education before being in- ducted into the service of his country. The first class which felt the effects of the acceler- ated program was the graduating class of 1943. Fewer students were awarded degrees and the en- rollment had dwindled sharply. Undergraduates returned to their classes immediately thereafter and continued throughout the summer months. Students who entered Villanova at this time began their col- lege days with the prospect of graduating within a space of two years and nine months instead of the customary three years and ten months. The saving of time was achieved at the sacrifice of the summer months and holidays, and not by lessening in any manner the material to be covered in the prescribed courses or changing the objective of the course. As the first year of the accelerated schedule was completed, the normal extra-curricular activities at Villanova were reduced considerably because of the inability of the students both trainees and civil- ians alike to find the time necessary for the various college activities. The chief interests of the student were an intense curriculum, morning reveille and calisthenics, physical education, inspections, re- views, weekend liberty, and the Thursday night merit list. Some of the more important activities re- mained unchanged; sports, both intramural and in- tercollegiate, dances, fraternity activities and publi- cations all were operating on a lesser scale. The contents of the various student publications were sharply minimized and had it not been for the con- centrated efforts of a few individual students many of the publications would have become non-existent during the war years. Physical fitness was emphasized during the sum- mer term of 1942 and throughout the war years since it became increasingly evident that it was the job of every college to prepare its students for a war- time future not only mentally and spiritually, but physically as well. Two periods a week were re- quired of every civilian student while the Naval and Marine trainees were required to take two hours a day of physical training. Intercollegiate athletics at Villanova functioned on a modified scale. The major varsity sports were maintained such as football, basketball, track and baseball, but the less important sport programs had to be abandoned during this period due to the lack of time which the students had at their disposal for athletic activities. Since the student body was predominately Naval it was natural that the greater percentage of stu- dents were enrolled in the schools of engineering and medicine. The Naval Program stressed the importance of the Pre-Medical and Engineering courses as advanced studies, both of which were preceded by a two semester basic course, corre- sponding to any general Freshman course, embrac- ing Mathematics. English. History and Science. The schools of Arts and of Commerce were operating on a greatly reduced scale during the latter years of the war, but with the influx of veterans and civilian students they are again regaining their prominence on the campus. 40 WmsMi in oja The Church has always maintained and proclaimed the principle that war as a means of solving differences between men and nations is obsolete. Her educational agencies have always taught that in the very order of nature the world is one universal organic society divided into nations and states sever- ally independent yet mutually interdependent. She has al- ways taught in her Church fostered schools that to insure and safeguard peace, peoples must be bound by moral and legal bonds anchored on the solid rock of Natural Law and Divine Revelation, ruled by laws which, immune lrom selfish- ness and passion, protect unity, preserve independence and human dignity, and promote prosperity. She has always taught that any peace worthy of the name must be the peace of Christ, built and consolidated on justice, reality and truth, rejecting anti-Christian hatred and distrust, proclaiming the mutual rights of all men and their mutual obligation to love one another as Christ loved them.

THE CLASS OF 194B W© are a mixed group, we the class of 1946. V e possess an uncertain lineage; our history is -nlused. lev f ciny of us started in 1943. the year which according to a wartime accelerated schedule should have been our freshman year. Some of us started at Villcmova before the war. saw service, cmd have toturned to graduate in 1946. Others started in 1943 In the V 12 Unit and have continued successfully to Ihe presont. A remaining few started at Vtllanova a civilians and have pursued their courses interruptedly. Thus to say our history is confused, is an understatement, as a matter of fact, our record is virtually untraceable. However, everyone knows that the war exercised profound effects upon American college life. It stands to reason that if our country needed men of college age to stem the fanaticism of the Japanese on the Pacific borders and the inimical ideology of the terrifying Nazi war machine on our East, that student enrollment would dwindle. Fortunately the inroads of defonse demands were not felt until some time after P® ”1 Harbor. Finally, however, the enormous manpower appetite of the ever-growing American war industries drained the colleges of their civilian students. Villanova s loss was some- what mitigated when the V-12 Unit arrived on the campus. Of necessity the chronicle of our class, then, is a record of the few civilian students and those trainees who have remained to complete their studies. During July, 1943. despite the intense acceleration under the Navy program and the difficulty of phy- sical and mental effort, order began to make itself apparent. The student body soon became ac- customed to the Summer grind. The number of cuts allowed for a semester were drastically curtailed. We soon learned that college during the war had lost much of its glamour. During the first uneventful year the Navy boys relaxed into what little was left of Villanova's cam- pus life. Some of them joined the staffs of organiza- tions that were being held together only by the fortitude and patience of the civilians. The Villa- novan. under Paul Carmichael and the BELLE AIR, under John Fitzgibbons were aided by trainees, and several of the nearly defunct fraternities came to life with their enrollment, particularly the engineer- ing societies. All in all. the Navy boys felt it was pretty good to be a Villanovan. Late in the year a drum and bugle corps was FIRST HOW: S l!rtd j Gtanninl. V a rani Koornor. Contron . Dorr. FoUy.

The corps made no public appearance at first. In the early part of 1944 the band gave its first pub- lic concert at a Bond rally in the gym at Rosemont College. In the fall of 1944 the drum and bugle corps developed into a military band. The band played on Saturday for inspections. Later the col- lege authorities requested the band and the mem- bers of the Unit to play and march at all Villcmova's Shibe Park games. Consequently all the team's home games were brightened with the music and marching of the band and men. By some. Villa- nova's V-12 Unit was declared the best drilled unit in the Philadelphia area. At the beginning of the Fall semester in 1944 the Navy living in Alumni vacated their old home, some moved to Fedigan, others took up residence in Men- del and Austin. Even though Alumni was an old building, the boys were sorry to leave, for it was because of this very old age, her ancient halls, crazy stairways, that they came to love her. But she was preparing for the return of the good old days. A highlight of this same Fall semester was the appearance one Saturday night at the Field House of Les Brown and his orchestra on a nationwide hookup. This popular band and its one night of first class entertainment was sponsored by Coca- Cola. Everybody enjoyed a Saturday night of high- quality jive, dancing, specialties, and the added at- traction of watching and being a part of a national broadcast. At midsemester, in December 1944, we arrived at the most memorable year of our college careers and probably the greatest in history. This year was important in the history of the class of 1946 because it witnessed a narrowing down and subsequent fixa- tion of the limits of membership in the class. Fur- ther, the year was important to the school because it brought the return of the first veterans who were former Villanova students. And finally it was im- portant to the whole world because it marked the end of the war. The ending of the war. was to the class of 1946 at Villanova. one of the most glorious events in our brief and insignificant history. It signified that now surely the intense concentration and acceleration of war might be ended. No, we will never forget that day in August on which the end of the war was declared. We learned nothing in lectures; labora- tories were a waste of time. All we thought about was atomic energy and the possible end of the world SENIOR OFFICERS William Ko«m«r. Harold Varanl. Robert Conway. Harry Waters. conflict. Villanova never witnessed such a wild celebration as that occurlng on August 14. The eve- ning was spent in joyous revelry. Discipline was completely relaxed. Trainees and civilians both male and female were gleefully cavorting all over the Villanova campus. The Navy band appeared in full strength to herald the joyous news. To add to the happy insanity of the whole orgy, the Wayne Township auxiliary firetruck. an old model A Ford with a glaring red bell came clanging upon the scene. It was indeed late that night when most of us finally returned to our rooms. One of the immediate effects of the ending of the war was the release to inactive civilian status, all of the pre-medical students enrolled in Villanova's V-12 Unit. This event was important to the class inas- much as 14 of these students were members of the class of 1946. Of the 14 only a few returned to join the class ranks already thinned by Naval orders. As might be expected, with a cessation of hostili- ties, the late summer of 1945 inaugurated a more hearty college life than that experienced Jn 1944. Fraternities experienced large enrollments. Publica- tions enjoyed greater student support. The drama- tic society came out of the shadows which hid it in 1944. Also a greater part of the student body was becoming civilian. 45 Of all of this, perhaps the most widely ap- preciated was the return of the Belle Masque So- ciety. In Spring. I Want to be an Officer ' was presented for the enjoyment of the student body and friends. The three act comedy portrayed the life of a boot trainee and his introduction into the rigors of a V-12 “hitch, Sergeant Muir did an excellent job of directing and Sonner, Blough. and Cummings provided superb talent. Later in the Fall the society produced another comedy, Up in Charlie's Room”, written by and starring C. D. Cummings. Also in the matter of dances the year 1945 topped 1944. Of the dances, the Phi Kappa Pi Ball was one of the most popular. It was a colorful St. Valentine's dance. The student body showed its enthusiasm by an excellent turnout; everyone was grateful to the Phi Kappa Pi for its spirited contribution to the re- vival of activities at Villanova. The revival of the Belle Masque Society, and the Phi Kappa Pi dance were not the only landmarks on the memorable road back. The Senior Ball, the first and only formal dance staged at Villanova during the war. was the crowning achievement of an eventful 1945. The Senior Ball was a thorough and enjoyable success. 1945 was not finished however, for at the close of the Summer semester the Sophomore Cotillion with Chuck Gordon furnishing the music, became the most crashing success of the year. The crowd was sensational; the huge Field House was actually crowded. Hail 1945! 1945 was a great year that played a large and outstanding role in the story of the class of 1946. The year 1944 saw the faint beginnings of the class in the stress and acceleration of sober wartime col- lege life. Our friend 1945, however, made great strides toward the return to normalacy. Now as the BELLE AIR goes to press our year 1946 is mak- ing more progress. The Senior Ball promises to be a great success. It is the first formal dance at Vil- lanova since the conclusion of the war. May our class continue the pace toward reaching the com- plete peace time college activity schedule that 1945 began. May the class of 1946 capture once again, and carry onward the cherished Villanova tradition. Soon we must bid farewell to Villanova. Those were great days and the best of fellows. We shall never forget Dick Illgen and the insistent but gentle manner he had of making the fellows hit the deck —Chester Duncan always on report—Di Giacomo and his music and bridge game—Bill Halm slay- ing the women—Clyde Kirlin talking about Jean— John Selfridge editor par-excellent, and a consis- tently good student—Ed Fimble always asking who stole my new magazine? —Koerner and Varar.i's scandal column in the Villanovan—Hoffman scaring the Frosh—Knauss and Palley pondering over some stiff engineering problem—Bacsik as company com- mander—Baccino, the little man with the big laugh —Blough and Cummings rolling them in the aisles— Frey tag getting superman scores in the strength tests Riley defeating Father Boyle at tennis—Sexton get- ting the Villanovan out on time—Winner mimicking Johnny Mercer and doing very well too—Stllkey's excellent performance for the Belle Masque— Brandt's friendly greetings—Cox winning track events—dapper Maurice Labarrere—Luley's sea stories—Chen See running the infirmary, telephone booth, and Bacteriology lalooratory all at the same time—Dagit with the thespians—Mackey and O'Neill and their perfect understanding—Ungaro and his football—Sweeney at a cocktail party- - Caruso usually at Rosemont—the impeccable Waters—welcoming Meehan back to the fold— j Boyle and his set shots—Sonner, the boot —White on the yearbook staff—D'Albora and his women- - Conway and his Nancy with the laughing face- - and we pay a tribute to all loyal Villanova men— we will never forget the little things that lent dis- tinction to your personalities. The histories of previous classes glow with more of the glamour of college life. Their story is one of the thrills of football games and extravagant social events. Their chief happenings were college activ- ities. We boast of no such accomplishments. Our stay at Villanova was one marked with grim in- dustry imposed by that harsh taskmaster, the war. However, we the class of 1946 did not fail in our duties. We carried the torch of Villanova's school life through the difficult wartime period. We may not have added to Villanova's tradition, but we did preserve it to hand to you who follow us. Cherish and use well the peace time college life denied us. -Ve pass this torch to you. the class of 1947. We. who are about to graduate, thank Villanova or the education she has given us, and hope, God willing, that with our American heritage, and the ex- perience and knowledge gained during our college career, we may contribute in a large part to Amer- ican leadership toward the preservation of world Peace in a democratic.

The Catholic message to the world is a message which begins with indi- vidual responsibility, individual dignity, and develops into a message of social responsibility, social worth, stressing the fact that man cannot live alone and selfishly, but must regu- late his life in terms of other beings, eithor the Superior Being- God-Who created him. or his fellow creatures, other men. The hope of Catholic education is that if the individual man is sufficiently schooled in the responsibility of man to man. and of all men to God. inevitably the nations of the world will choose as leaders such men as are equipped to deal with other nations as men deal with other men. not rapaciously or arrogantly, but reasonably, amicably.

By dedication it honors the memory of Leo Goodreau, who died as a result of an injury sus- tained in football practice in 1929, and who, during his college days at Villanova was truly representa- tive of the ideal Catholic college student. By publication it affords a well directed medium for the journalistic tendencies of those of the stu- dents who are interested in this field. The Villa- novan also fosters the development of a unified stu- dent body through its chit-chat” columns, editorials, news stories, features and sports. Ranking among the first in the college’s extra- curricular activities, the Villanovan, by its diversity, presents to all students the open sesame to a full college life. hind To tie nter Hop V� � | � 1 I'kM 11 « � iff One of the lost glamourous positions on the Villanovan Is that of Circulation Manager.

Instruction in Catholic doctrine and philosophy in the Classroom, together with frequent religious exercises, furnish excellent media for the improvement of spiritual wel- fare. This task of arranging and supervising these activities, and of advising on matters pertaining to faith falls to the College Chaplain, Rev. Edwin T. Grimes. O.S.A. The main organization rounding out Villanova's religious program is the Sanctuary Society. The members of this organization assumes the privilege of serving Mass and Benediction, and in addition performs many helpful tasks about the Chapel. Each week from Monday to Thursday inclusive, Evening Prayers are held in the College Chapel at 6:15. These services are not intended to supply or replace private prayers or devotions, but they are the public acknowledgment on the part of Villanova College of the reverence, respect, and devotion due to God our Creator. According to a tradition of long standing the student body attends Mass on Thurs- day morning. And fully three-fourths of the students take advantage of the facilities offered at this weekly Mass to frequent the Communion rail. In this past semester Father Grimes has made it possible for the day students to attend Benediction on Wednesday afternoon at 1:15. Also at this time a number of priests are in the confessional for the students convenience. Entering the College Chapel for Benediction the «ludent� fill in attendance card� and receive hymnal� from Father Burke who directs the tinging. FIRST ROW: Edwards. Koornor. Varanl. Roller. HoHman.

THE DHIENTATIDN EDMMITTEE The Orientation Committee, adding zest to the at- mosphere of college life, is one of the oldest tradi- tions at Villanova College. The outstanding feature of this committee is to initiate and acquaint the in- coming Freshmen with the ways and customs of their newly acquired Alma Mater. The organizing and marshaling into line of the new arrivals is one of the most important functions that any organiza- tion has to discharge, and upon its successful com- pletion hangs a great deal of the success of college life. This duty was taken care of in a real and sincere fashion by Joe Hoffman's leadership along with that of his fellow committeemen. The familiar blue dinks and large identification • buttons made their appearance early in the Fall semester, while the members of the Orientation Committee distin- guished themselves by wearing white crew hats. In former years, the methods of initiation were rather stern and severe. The Frosh” were made tc respect their upperclassmen and partake In trunk- carrying, coal shoveling, gridiron marking, stadium cleaning and for any of these mentioned duties that were neglected by the lowly Frosh, they would, in a forceful manner of persuasion, be subject to punish- ment in the form of haircutting, molasses and feath- ers and paddling. However, the social trend in all institutions today have changed to a more construc- tive and sagacious method of guiding the Freshmen through the early stages of college life. The Ad- ministration of the college has found it a real neces- sity to comply with this modem thought and curb the duties and powers of the Orientation Commit- tee to mere book-carrying and egg-in-the-basket” punishment. Nevertheless, these modified and saner methods which governed the function of the committee did not prevent its members from guiding the new stu- dents through their first days at Villanova College. Many lasting friendships were formed and ideal traits of college men were fostered under the direc- tion of the upperclassmen. The spirit created be- tween the Freshmen and the Upperclassmen dis- played throughout the year proved that many loyal and sincere amities were brought about in a typical college fashion. In conclusion, the Orientation Committee is to be congratulated on the manner in which they perform Thde committee instilled a feeling of pride on the part of the Frosh for their Regs , rather than em- barrassment with which they formerly were worn. THE STUDENT CUU1VEIL The purpose of the Student Council is to unify the unorganized voices of the students; it represents the due process of law. In the past few years the Student Council has be- come almost wholly inactive. This was due to the effect of the war, when the problems of the students were of necessity suppressed. A recent editorial of the Villanovan outlined the benefits and purposes of this body. An organiza- tion of this type is the paramount activity of the school for it is not only the lone representation of all Villanovans, but also has a singular capacity for advancing their interests. The Council's elections are a subject of serious thought and broad publicity. The meetings are fre- quent, easily accessible and also publicized. The Council agenda is pertinent and widely known. The Council demeanor is formal, sober and interesting. Backed by active student participation, guided by Tho point ol rondozvous tor tho student . Navy and civilians alike.

L DELTA PI EPSILON with the start of a new school year in peace time the club has been revitalized. Men returning from serv- ice have swelled the ranks, and new students have been recruited to make the fraternity one of the larg- est on the campus. The fraternity has a new constitution, and has made plans for a reorganization of its charter. Frat pins have been obtained for the new members and most of the Commerce and Finance students can be seen displaying them about the campus. John Filzgibbons and Robert Conway can be credited with the excellent planning for the Delta Pi Epsilon. The fraternities first social function will be an inter-fraternity dance sponsored with the engineers.

The Financier's Frolic” and the fraternities other social activities have been things of the past. However, PHI KAPPA PI The Phi Kappa Pi Fraternity was organized to en- hance the brotherly feeling among Villanova's stu- dents who are preparing for the engineering profes- sion. Being one of the most active fraternities on the campus, it has maintained its prestige through the able leadership of its president Joseph Hoffman. Successful smokers, dances, meetings and a gala initiation held the spotlight at various times through- out the past year. Organized in 1907, it enjoys the reputation of being the most enthusiastic organiza- tion on the campus, being affectionately known as Phi Kap” Its success rests upon the earnest and fervent feeling shown by the engineers and their ability to produce leaders to direct its many and varied activities. With the close of the scholastic year, a glance backward reveals that the Fraternity has done its part to bring Villanova back to its pre-war standing. And as the Seniors leave Phi Kappa Pi, they can proudly feel that they have done their share in keeping it in first place socially, athletically, scho- lastically and above all, fraternally. Gone are tho day of pajama clad trip to Bryn Mawr and molatsos baths but wo who have rocontly endured tho Phi Kappa PI initiation fool it will bo Just as momorablo. PHI KAPPA PI FIRST ROW: Dick.

Directly related to the courses pursued the organizations endeavor to give their members a broader outlook on their particular field of engineering. The societies enable the engineer to keep abreast of new developments and improve- ments in engineering and the results of recent sci- entific research. At present four societies are active on the campus, The American Society of Chemical Engineers, The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, The American Institute of Electrical Engineers, and The American Society of Civil Engineers. To complement the theoretical classroom studies, practical field trips are sponsored by the societies to give the potential engineer the opportunity to see industrial and manufacturing plants in operation. Men in industry welcome these visits and furnish the students with information on the problems they will confront in later years. Whenever possible the societies obtain motion pic- tures for the engineers . . . Many of the students have found the technical subjects to be interesting as well as educative. The societies also stimulated interest by having graduate engineers give instruc- tive lectures on the campus. Since the beginning of the Twentieth Century up to the present time the destiny of the world has been patterned on the advances of science. Hand in hand with these advances has been the progress of the Engineering School at Villanova. In 1905 the School of Engineering consisted only of one course in Civil Engineering. Since that time the curriculum has been broadened until it now includes courses in Civil, Chemical, Electrical, and Mechanical En- gineering. Chemistry and Physics. Its expansion has been such that it is recognized as a leader among the Engineering Schools in the nation. Despite its remarkable accomplishments the En- gineering School has not become copiplacent with its successes. Technical training at Villanova will be enlarged by the erection of a much needed build- ing to house the Chemical Engineers. This two story structure when completed will include metallurgy and unit operation laboratories, a modern shop as well as storeroom and classroom facilities. With such a history to inspire and such mo- mentum of accomplishment to carry over obstacles, the story of the Engineering School of Villanova should continue to be written each successive year with ever increasing pride. To tho porson unfamiliar with tho mystical sanctum of the Elec- trical Laboratory, it appears forbidding and fearful. However, to the Electrical Engineer, handling the switchboards, dynamos, mo- tors and meters provides in the knowledge that is gained. Though lust a maxe of controls and wires at first glance, the Electrical En- gineer soon becomes familiar with the many forms of electrical equipment used in industry today. Hero in tho Internal Combustion Laboratory, tho mysteries of tho steam, gasolino and diesel engines are studied by the Mechanical Engineers. Being a theorist In the classroom Is only half of the mechanical s fob.

Being one of the youngest organizations on the campus at Villanova, the Spanish Club has become one of the most liked and most active societies at the college. This is undoubtedly due to the bub- bling , enthusiastic personality of its Moderator, Father Lorenzo Lozano, O.S.A., who through his ef- forts has revived the Spanish Club, bringing it to its prewar standard. Being inactive during the four years of war, the Spanish Club held its first meeting in September. Following the election of officers to serve for the present school year. Father Lozano outlined the aims and principles for which the or- ganization was founded. The chief aim of the club is to acquire not only a greater knowledge of the Spanish language, its forms and presentations, but also to acquaint its members with the many man- nerisms and customs of the Spanish people. To ac- complish this great undertaking, a program was ar- ranged wherein the members spoke at the meetings on subjects dealing with Spanish life and customs. There were also movies in Spanish, about the Span- ish people and their habits. To close the Fall semes- ter, a play in Spanish was given describing the his- tory of one of the early Spanish families in Cali- fornia. An interesting sidelight of this organization is that as much as possible, the use of the English language is forbidden. But the club does not only have plays and speeches to entertain its members. The social aspect is also brought out in the annual inner dance held exclusively at a Spanish restau- rant. All the organizations on the campus salute Father Lozano and his Spanish Club, who are doing their best to bring Villanova College back to its pre-war standing. May it grow until the Spanish Club at Ulanova will be a tradition and attain an exalted Position among other campus organizations.

For years men have had a love for the use of firearms, of the romance and adventure that goes with them. To satisfy this desire and to equal the feats of rimrods of days gone by, Villanova has once more reorganized her rifle team composed of the NROTC men of Fedigan Hall. Lacking a rifle range on which to practice, the newly organized team found it necessary to call on the 1943 Hearst Trophy Winners at the University of Pennsylvania. Here on their fine range equipped with Caswell Target Car- riers, the riflemen of Villanova spent many long hours learning under the able supervision of Lieu- tenant Abrahams, new techniques in the art of riflery. Requiring respiratory, muscular and visual coordination, it is fast becoming the sport of relax- ation of the nation. With the interest shown so far, the group should have no trouble in placing a team in future years in the Hearst Trophy Matches and the National Intercollegiate Matches held at the United States Naval Academy.

THE VETERANS ELHB With the war over, it is only natural that many ex-servicemen should now be taking advantage of the government's educational program. Villanova is very happy to be able to help in this most deserv- ing work, and, to better facilitate the difficult transi- tion from military to college life, the school has set up a Veteran's Guidance Bureau. This bureau, located at the college, and composed of experienced educators, is kept busy day and night advising the veterans on scholastic and financial problems. From one veteran during the summer term of nine- teen forty-four, the enrollment has increased until now there are nearly three hundred full time stu- dents wearing the Honorable Discharge Pin. From the way things look at this time, it seems as though this number may even be doubled before the end of the present year. In April of nineteen forty-five, when the number of these students, attending college under the same circumstances and with similar problems and in- terests, had considerably increased, the Veteran's Club was organized. Membership is restricted to men who have been honorably discharged from the armed forces of the United States or its allies. The principle aims of the organization are to help re- turning veterans adjust themselves to the college life, to promote good fellowship among the members, and to assist in advancing the interests of the vet- erans and of Villanova.

At the beginning of each of the last two terms the Veteran's Club has held a smoker to help the new students become acquainted with the older members of the organization and with each other. The enter- tainment at these affairs was provided by the older members and by films of highlights from the pre- vious football season. These were commented on by Coach Jerry Neri, with special emphasis on those players who are ex-servicemen and who were pres- ent at the time. After this, a buffet lunch was served and all decided it was a night well spent. The Veteran's Club has no football team, basket- ball team nor any other team; nor has it a desire FOURTH ROW—Varan!.

The purpose of the club has never been to consolidate its members into an exclusive group, but rather to encourage them to take an active part in all the regular college activities. How suc- cessful the club has been in this endeavor is easily seen by glancing at the other pictures in this book. The veterans have fared well in carrying the name of Villanova on the gridiron and the basketball court. At the same time, many of the most active members of the Villanovan. Phi Kappa Pi, Delta Pi Epsilon, the Spanish Club arid the Belle Air are ex-servicemen. THE BELLE FIRST ROW: Cummings. Richardson. Muir. Zuryblda. SECOND ROW: Muollor.

It was noticeably evident that thoughts of the long war years were forgotten that evening and youth was again returning to the business of being young. The rhythmic and exotic orchestrations of Elliott Lawrence gave ample reason for his being one of the nations top personalities in the orchestral field.

Cvr rigkt 1634 V ViUa o a THE WILDCATS DF 134E It is not very likely that Villanova's football fans will forget the Wildcats of 1945. Facing one of the most difficult schedules in the country the Blue and White completed the season with a record of four victories and four defeats. It was the task of Coach Iordan Olivar and his assistants to form a well de- veloped team composed mainly of young and inexperienced players. This was accomplished and though the record of victories is not too impressive, it can readily be seen that the squad was in competition with some of the strong- est elevens in the nation all of whom had the necessary reserve power and experience. From September until December the “Cats” played a superior game of ball when in competition with teams in their own class, and proved that with adequate experience they would surpass the records of former Villa- nova teams. .1 FIRST ROW: A l tant Coach lorry Nori.

Opening the 1945 season against a confident Bucknell team, the Wildcats gave a surprisingly early season showing as they sent the Bisons down to a 197 defeat. Scoring once through the air and twice on the ground the Wildcats ended Bucknell's record of having lost, but four times in Memorial Stadium since 1927. The Bisons drew first Blood, when McKay, a Naval Trainee, engineered a 53 yard running pass into the waiting arms of Paul Rutan, and the later sprinted 30 more yards for the score.

The Wildcats scored early in the second quarter when Romeo Capriotti was turned loose for a 24- yard jaunt across the Hilltoppers goal line. They then proceeded to protect their slender advantage for the remainder of the game. The touchdown was made possible when a Mar- quette fumble was recovered by a Villanova line- man on the Hilltoppers 24-yard stripe.

Eddie Lawless kicked the seventh point from placement. Unveiling an offensive which was a mixture of speed, power and trickery, supported with alertness the Mainliners from Villanova brought in their third victory of the season, when they subdued Detroit University's fighting Titan's 14-0. The better part of the game was played in Detroit's territory and only a stubborn Titan eleven that fought courageously until the end kept Villanova from turning the affair into a rout. A 46-yard excursion, culminated with Alvin Hunter's four yard plunge, set the stage for the first tally. An intercepted pass, a drive of 34- yards, and Capriotti's eight yard race around end for the double chalked line brought about the second touchdown. Eddie Lawless converted both extra points.

Although the score does not indicate it, the Cats” played an inspired brand of football throughout the first half, and in the third quarter came back with a real offensive scoring threat that carried from its own 13 yard line to the Vols six. Their however a last down pass was just out of reach of Don Sheahan and the Cats chance ended their. Determined to score, Villanova pinned the Vols back deep in their own territory, and finally suc- ceeded in obtaining a safety out of their showing. The Wildcats of Villanova went down to its worst defeat of the season before an Army team paced by FOOTBALL Doc. Blanchard and Glenn Davis, who displayed most effectively how smashing line-bucks, fast breaking off-tackle slants, and wide end sweeps should be executed. Although the two great Army backs remained in the game for only the first quarter, it was sufficient to give the Wildcats something they will not forget for quite a while to come. During their stay on the field the touchdown twins crossed the Villanova goal line four times to leave a fighting but bewild- ered Wildcat team laying in the dust 26-0. But with the exit of Davis and Blanchard, the Army second team took up the race for the goal line. Performing in a manner that was only slightly less amazing than their smashing 6-0 victory over Mar- quette University earlier in the season, the Wild- cats again rose to new heights to completely crush the Golden Eagles of Boston 41-0, on the rain soaked turf of Shibe Park. All of the touchdowns except one came in the second half, but the score actually does not reveal the tremendous superiority of the Cats over the Eagles. The most convincing triumph of the campaign it was also a decisive exhibition as the Wildcats hit their seasons high in scoring to finish their schedule with four victories and four losses.

Georgetown proved stronger than the Wildcats had estimated, but the final whistle leit the Cats with a close 40 to 37 decision. The basketball team for the season of 1945-46 started with bright prospects for a great season. The veteran combination of foe Lord and Major McDonald had returned from the '42 team, and several fresh- men were coming up with fine reputations. Joe Lord, the captain of the team had one of the guard positions filled, and Donald Robertson had the other. The center was in the capable hands of Ed Reybitz, Brehmer had one of the forward posi- tions, and the other was taken care of by Toad Hannon. An auspicious start was launched when the Main- liners took over the Georgetown Hoyas by a close margin of 40 to 37. Princeton, the next opponent, with its high scoring quintet, met the Villanova Wild- cats at the Field House and administered the first defeat to the Blue and White by a 47 to 40 count. This game was marked by a late spurt on the part of the visiting Tiger quintet that left the Villanova Basketeers with a stinging defeat.

At Lewisburg, Pa. the following week, the Sever- ance boys and the Bucknell Bisons mixed, and at the sound of the final gun the Bisons were on the long end of a 43 to 32 score. The Rams from Fordham University invaded the Villanova gymnasium and had to be satisfied with a humiliating 56 to 39 trouncing. The rams were no match for tthe Wildcats from the very start, and the tussle proved very uninteresting. The United States Merchant Marine Academy played host to the team at the Academy, and proved to be too strong for the Blue and White cohorts, as they subdued them 43 to 38. Continuing on the road, the team traveled to Yale and Rhode Island BASKETBALL State where these teams stretched the Cats loos- ing streak to three straight with 46-33; and 84-67 tallies, respectively. Back on their home court again, the Wildcats played a return engagement with Bucknell Univer- sity's representatives, and gained sweet revenge for an earlier setback received at the hands of the Bisons by inflicting them with a close 54 to 52 defeat. Toad Hannan was the gleaming star for the Cats in this game as he put the team into a never to be relin- quished lead in the last few minutes of play. Thus the Severance men pulled themselves out of a cur- rent three game loosing streak while on their road trip. Again taking to the road, the Mainliners journeyed to Boston where they won their second straight en- gagement by rolling over the Golden Eagles of Bos- ton College 38 to 34. Behind at half time 16 to 9 the rejuvenated Blue and White team started to run Boston College into defeat. After the first five minutes of the second half had started, the Eagles maintained a 24 to 15 ad- vantage, but the pace was beginning to tell on them. The Cats then shifted into high gear and rolled up seven consecutive points to cut the lead to 4 points going into the final ten minutes. Finally, with six minutes to play the Cats took the lead, and in the last two minutes of the game effectively froze the ball. Captain Joe Lord in this game scored 11 points with Bill Doherty a close second with eight points. The next team to face the Blue and White Hoop- sters on this road trip v as the strong United States Naval Academy. In this game the Middies, after the first ten minutes, ran up the score as the tired Blue and White team showed the effects of the long over- night trip to Boston and two previous hard fought games. And again the Cats tasted the bitter cup of defeat as the Middies humbled them 50 to 31.

With Bill Davis, ex-Notre Dame star, operating the pivot and his teammates alternating with a weave and fast break, the Army team poured it on in a free scoring game. Two days later, in the more en- couraging half of the weeks home stand of Basket- ball festivities, the Mainliners romped to a one-sided victory as they outplayed and outscored England General Hospital to the tune of 75 to 40. The visitors lacked the polish and confidence of a winning combi- nation and their loose defense, coupled with a hap- hazard attack, contributed little to the game. Captain Joe Lord and Bill Doherty in this game accounted for 46 points between them as they hit the cords for 24 and 21 points respectively. Another Metropolitan team was met in the persons of the Manhattan Irish, the game being played on the Manhattan court. The New Yorkers, with the deadeye shooting of center Jack Byrnes, gave Man- hattan College a 57 to 47 victory over Villanova. Scoring 12 points in the second half, Byrnes gave Manhattan the edge after an exciting first half in which the lead changed hands eight times. For the Wildcats Captain Joe Lord was again high man with 15 points to his credit. The Cats” gained revenge for another early sea- son loss, when they defeated the United States Mari- time Academy, 53-49 in the Field House. Outclassed throughout the first half the Cats left the floor trailing 34 to 27. Before four minutes of the second half had passed, however, the Blue and White, had taken a 37 to 36 lead on Robertson's one handed stab.

VARSITY TRACK The Wildcats raised the curtain of their 1945 track season in Mid-December, when in their initial ap- pearance, for the Inquirer Invitation Meet at the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania, the Blue and White man- aged to secure second place in the Mile and Distant Medley Relays. The Mile Relay team of Cox, Short, Harrington, and Schmitt, then started on their weekly journeys to Madison Square Garden where they triumphed over Rhode Island State, North Carolina, and Rochester to lead the field home in the Millrose Games. Two weeks later this same quartet dropped a hard fought first place to Holy Cross in the New York A. C. Games, the following Saturday night at the National A.A.U. Championships, the Mainliners drop- ped to a disappointing fifth place. At this meet, Bean replaced Schmitt in the relays so that the Wildcat captain could participate in thte mile event. In the final race of the indoor season, the Cats won the Knights of Columbus mile relay as Don Schmitt with a last desperate lunge broke the tape ahead of a Holy Cross man. In the first outdoor meet of the season. The Middle Atlantic Polar Bear Games at the University of Penn- sylvania, Franklin Field, Captain Don Schmitt placed second in the mile run with a time of 4.35.3. On March 17, the team journeyed to Camden for the Middle Atlantic A.A.U. Meet, where they placed second behind Penn; Bob Bean placed third in the 880; and Don Schmitt won the mile with lack Cock- roft taking fourth place. Back in Philadelphia the relay team of Harring- ton, Short, Bean, and Schmitt took a fast third be- hind Michigan and New York University in the Penn Relays. The Class B. mile relay team of Cox, Short, Bean and Schmitt faired equally well. Late in April the Cats went to West Point to parti- cipate in IC4A Outdoor Championships.

Two marks are to be carried by the Weinertmen this year: one is to better last season's record: num- ber two—defeat Army and Navy, who for the last two or three years have stepped over and around the dormant Wildcats.

SPRING WARM-UP Old Man Weather gave eager ball players an unforeseen break this year and the boys were out- doors a few weeks earlier than usual loosening the kinks of the long winter lay-off. The opening day of practice this year brought forth the greatest turnout of candidates since before the war. Each Concentration mark the feature of Left Fielder Dan Ca� ey. at Coach Woinert give him last minute instruction before going to the plate. position is at least two deep and it will be a neck and neck race for starting lineup jobs. Coach Lefty Weinert’s major problem this year will be that of selecting the better men to fill the nine var- sity positions. It is fortunate that the Wildcat team is so well fortified with good material when such teams as Valley Forge General Hospital, Georgetown, Penn State, and the Phillies give us an unusually stiff schedule. The accent is on hitting as never before. With such men as Dan Casey, Joe Lord, Catcher Joe Nunan and Tom McCarthy we are assured of proficiency in that department. We look forward to a great season and perhaps the greatest season in Villanova baseball history, for we know we have the material.

INTRAMURAL ATHLETICS Far removed from the fanfare of intercollegiate sport is Villanova’s intramural program, one of the most extensive in the nation. Comprising almost every sport from informal, unor- ganized. touch football sessions to a highly coordinated, professionally-run basketball league. Sole requirements for intramural participation is registration as a Villanova Student. This broadness of scope makes it possible for every student to take an active part in athletics with the result that almost every Villanova man is an athlete in some shape or form. INTHAMIIHAL BASKETBALL From early in December until March, basketball is the center of all intra-mural activities here on the campus. Since Christmas vacation intervenes, the schedule of this most spirited intra-mural activities is divided into two parts; the first extends until late in December, and the second begins immediately upon the return to classes in January. Under the direction of Fr. Girolami and Fr. Kemme, who have arned the praise of the class of '46 and the entire student body, the intramural basketball league was started out on a solid footing. Three nights a week they could be found at the Field House between six and eight seeing that the games were scored properly and played according to intra-mural regu- lations. This is quite an assignment during one of these hard fought inter-sectional games. The league was formed in early December. The sharp shooting Ausmen aggregation took the upper hand by a 24-17 verdict in a low scoring contest with their brother servicemen from Fedigan Hall. Ken Sonner and Bert Agnew took high scoring honors for the night. Following the opener the Dorns, won a thrilling battle from the Marine quintet. With the score evened up, and seconds remaining during the first overtime period Bill Boyle of the Dorns came through with a much needed field goal that led to the downfall of the Marines by a 34-32 count. The succeeding games found the basketeers from Fedi- gan loosing their second game of the season to the Marines and the high flying Ausmen with Sonner leading the attack with ten points, defeating the Alumni five by a 38-24 count. Bert Agnew again played a sterling defensive game for the Ausmen. The following week saw the Ausmen take undis- puted possession of first place. Captained by its high scoring aces. Sonner and Agnew, they dropped the hapless Marines and ran roughshod over the Dorns by 44-30 and 41-25 scores respectively. Later that week the hard fighting but undermanned Alumni team was set back twice when they were defeated by Fedigan and the rebounding Dorns. The Dorns, however, after being on the winning side of the ledger for a week bounded back into the loss col- umn as the up and coming Fedigan team handed them a 32-13 setback. Acquiring some extra manpower Alumni won their first game of the season 28-27 over the Marines. The Marines who seemed destined to finish in last place Mike GaHney slip another double docker In lor the Doms as an excited Fedigan Sailor tries to block the shot.

Fritchinger proved himself capable of handling the ball smoothly and also notched numerous double deckers. The Ausmen gave evidence of being strong con- tenders for first place by winning two more games. They defeated Alumni 42-28 and the Marines 42-35. These victories made it six straight for the boys in blue. Alumni scored a victory over the Dorns but in their following game they were defeated by the second place Fediganites. The Dorns were matched against a strong Austen team and were defeated 39-29. In this game Sonner scored twenty of his team's 39 points. Fedigan which was only one game behind the first place Ausmen received a much deserved break when Austin forfeited a game with them. This was the initial defeat for the Ausmen and it enabled Fedigan to tie for first place honors. The following week the Marines came up with their first victory of the season as they defeated Alumni in one of the hardest fought games of the campaign. Fedigan, led by Fritchinger continued to hold onto a tie for first place as they won out over Captain Ward ol the Dorns about to slip away from Fedi- gan player.

Fritchinger provided the thrills that evening, when with barely a minute left to play he dropped two field goals which proved to be the win- ning margin. The Marines dimmed all Fedigans hopes of winning the first half championship, as they upset them by a narrow 20-14 score. Infuriated by their defeat at the hands of Fedigan the Ausmen registered victories over the Alumni quintet and the Marines. With the fighting incentive of both teams above par the Alumni team once again outscored the Doms by a 21-18 score. With the championship at stake the Ausmen played their best game of the season and outscored Fedigan 61-32; this was the highest score of the intra-mural season. With this final game going to the Ausmen the first half came to a close with the Ausmen taking the Elongated Mike GaHncy. Dorn ' confer.

With Fedigan, Alumni, Doms and Marines following in their proper order. In the scoring department the two Ausmen aces, Sonner and Agnew, took top scoring honors with 119 and 103 points respectively. The other top scorer was Benny Moskal, who collected 63 points for the first half of the season. Every year it is the custom to select an All-Intra- mural team. This year, six men are picked, because of the outstanding merits of each and inability of the selectors to eliminate any one as inferior. Ken Sonner, high scorer for the season and his run- ning mate from the Ausmen team; Bert Agnew, are two of the men chosen. Jackman of the Marines, O'Brien, of Doms, Fritchinger. Fedigan, and Benny Moskal of Alumni, completed the list. FEDIGAN BASEBALL TEAM FIRST ROW: Marano. Horman. Wilson. Co� tsllo. Sulock. SECOND ROW: Klmblo. Naslund. Rotors Waverak, Hinkarnp.

Often with a minimum of science but always with a maximum of spirit, softball, probably the most spontaneous and certainly one of the most popular of the intra-mural sports, this year reached a new high in student participation. The scramble for the first half championship got un er way in early July, with six teams, Fedigan A. Fedigan B, Austin A. Austin B, Del Si, and Mendel participating. Throughout it was Fedigan B in first place with Austin A. and Austin B. fighting for the INTHAMURAL BASEBALL distinction of being runner up, while Mendel, Del Si, and Fedigan A, fought to stay out of the cellar posi- tion. In the second half race Fedigan B left little doubt WlUon ol Fedigan it pul oul at the plate aftor attempting to make homo on an infield hit. as to the outcome as they won seven out of their eight games.

KNOWING HOW is a fifty-fifty combination of ability and experience. WHEN it comes to photography, we're particular about quality; we fuss with true rendition, we dote on the subjects of lighting, color harmony and rhythm of composition. Maybe that's why we get along so well with particular editors and advisers. AN intelligent service endowed with a spirit of friendly cooperation has been the important factor in bringing Zamsky Studios to the position of LEAD- ERSHIP in the school annual field. MAYBE that's why Villanova College turned to us for their photography in 1946. We hope you will turn to us soon and we invite your inquiry. ZAMSKY STUDIOS Photographers to particular schools for over twenty years 136 is the product of the efforts of a capable editor plus the interested cooperation of a seasoned specialist. To an editor, who wishes to make a success of his first publishing venture, speciali- zation offers innumerable advantages that arc most helpful—in fact—indispensable. It is advisable to have a specialist handle your yearbook. Investigate the services of “Campus.” an organization whose entire business is college and school publications. 1420 Wulnut Street.
