AS VILLANOVA GREW In the Catholic Herald. the diocesan paper of Phila- delphia in years ago, there appeared in 1841. a small article recording the purchase of a tract of land in Radnor Township by the Rev. Patrick E. Moriarity. O.S.A.. from the estate of John Rudolph, a former local Catholic merchant and Revolutionary War officer. Unob- trusive as this brief report may have made the transac- tion appear, this purchase to us is important, because the land in question was what Rudolph called Belle Air. and it was there that Villanovo College received its start one hundred and six years ago. Belle Air was merely a family estate in those days, but as you look about the campus todoy. you con see that it has pro- gressively multiplied itself, not only in the facilities, in concrete and mortar, but in the friendliness, the tradi- tion. tho spirit that help make up the Augustinion Col- lege of Villanovo. The first day of class at the new college in September of 1843. brought forth a student body of thirteen under the direction of a faculty of ten, led by the president of the college, the Rev. John P. O'Dwyer. O.S.A. This acorn from which the mighty oak of Villanovo has grown, was indeed small. Villanovo was founded for the purpose of giving young men a liberal education according to the Catholic prin- ciples. The first Prospectus, issued during the second year of the life of the college, clarified this by stating. ... a classical and scientific, or purely mercantile education will be given the students, or the one so blended with the other os to qualify the pupil to embrace any of the learned professions, or to apply himself in business. This purpose of Villanovo is double in effect, in that it prepares candidates for the world, while preserving for them the ideal of their destiny in Eternity. The formal opening of Villanovo took place under the sanction of Pope Gregory XVI, in 1843, when the first Mass was said on the campus on the feast of St. Augustine in that year. At that service, the original building was blessed and placed under the patronage of Atr fftt fl •« f 'ttirtf tti � ftr t r.-t rt .■ stt,r . f t ttr '- ft rrr f . � i v f it.rsi V rt J . «♦ trftt y tf % ,S r ,■ ■' - — -- — --- ---� ( (TZ V f « . .-.V W Z fzj i z r sAtttf '••• ' ?,•!

Since that day. the college and the surrounding countryside has been popularly colled Villanovo. Advancing along the academic pathway. Villanovo soon received formal recognition and legal acceptance from Governor Francis R. Shunk of Pennsylvania, who in 1848 granted to the Augustinion College of Villanovo in the County of Deloware and the State of Pennsylvania. a charter to teach and grant degrees that would be recognized by other colleges and universities in the United States. It wos not until seven years after the charter had been granted that the new college exercised its prerogative and oworded the first Bachelor of Arts degree bearing the name of Villanovo. Until the turn of the century, Villanovo had been strictly an arts college. The curriculum, not unlike that of the Arts School today, included the study of English. Greek, Latin. History, Mathematics. Logic. Rhetoric. Phi- losophy. and modern languages. The students in the early days were governed by strict rules, forbidding snuff, tobacco, liquor, bad conduct and misbehavior. All led regular lives, arising ot 5:30 in the morning, and get- ting to bed by 9 in the evening. The entire college, priests and resident students, was housed and taught in the monastery until the new college building was com- pleted in 1848. This new building was the first in a long series of expansions throughout the history of Villanova. The story of our college is not entirely one of suc- cesses. but rather one of overcoming the difficulties that have stood in its path. Hazards to its existence arose twice within the first few years of its lifo and forced it to close its doors, even if temporarily. In 1848. the reper- cussions of the wave of anti-Catholicism prevalent in the country forced the college to suspend operations. Again in 1857. the doors were shut os a result of the pressing need for the few priests to work in the missionary fields. But these set-backs, as serious as they were, could not discourage tho tenacity and spirit, nor douse the fire in the hearts of the true Villanovans. Villanova determinedly reopened in 1865. and since then has stood steadfast through wars, depressions and panics, through fires and crises, and has survived, not unscathed, but yet indomitable. Two devastating fires plagued the college in 1928 and again in 1932. The first destroyed the College Hall and the second razed the Monastery, both of which were new buildings at the time, having been built but a generation before in 1902. From the small beginnings on the Rudolph farm. Villa- nova has oxponded into a 166 acre campus containing Thi wo a typical Latin clan in 1894.

In comparing men' attire today with that of the late 19th century, only minor deviation are obviout. The low collar of the tuit twenty-eight buildings. The lotest, the Naval Science Building, the Library, and the Chemical Engineering Building ore adjudged to be the most modern structures of their type in this section of the country. The initial impetus to the expansion program was given by Father O’Dwyer, who os president in 1848 had the first school building constructed. Since his time there have been few years when some sort of construction has not been taking place on the campus. The College Build- ing wos completed in 1874. the Chapel, in 1886. the Monastery and the College Hall in 1902. Mendel Hall was constructed on the ruins of College Hall after the fire, and a few years later, in 1932. the burned Monas- tery was rebuilt. A modern Stadium and Field House appeared on the campus thot same year, and just last year, the Naval Science and Chemicol Engineering Build- ings were completed. The new Library opened soon after the last two, and added much to both the beouty and culture of the campus. This is something of the past. You see the present. As for the future of our college we can see nothing but con- tinued success and expansion. But no matter how great it becomes, it will remain forever to us, the simple, warm and friendly Augustinion College of Villanova. coot and horter tloeve enabling french cuff to eitend one half inch beyond fhe jleeve ore port of the pre-requitite for a well dretted man today. The bow tie and windtor knot ore a popular today at they were in 1894. CHAPEL The twin spires of the College Chopel dominate and tower over the other buildings and justly so, for Christ should be the center of every student's college educa- tion. The chopel is centrally located in o place of con- venience where the residents can easily make daily Mass and evening chapel and the day-hops con stop for a visit. The chapel was completed ond the corner stone was laid in 1883, and. by the grace of God. was spared from serious damage in the Monastery fire in July. 1932. From the opening day of the Freshman year to the Baccalaureate Mass on Graduation day. the chapel is the center of the student's spiritual life. Early in the year, there is a day of spiritual recollection, and later, at the semester break in January, there is a three day retreat to enable the students to stop ond analyze their spiritual position. These ore the special aids and are im- portant but not more so than the Daily Masses and eve- ning chapels which help to keep the students alert ond spiritually on their guard. In the semi-darkness of the cold winter mornings and in the warm bright twilight of the spring evenings, men of Villonova can be seen walking to and from their chopel. The College Chapel it the focol point of all religiout activity in o Villanovan't life. His hours spent in meditation or participating at Matt. Bonediction. ond other religious rituals constitute on inte- gral port of tho two-fold effect of his coreor. a Christian gentle- man and a scholar. Completely redecorated at the turn of the century, the Chapel's interior lends to the solitude and peace of mind a student experiences during his periodic visits. Eoch year several alumni return for an occasional visit or to pro- nounce their nuptiol vows. Throughout hit four yeors os o Villonovo student. tho undergraduote sees hit colleagues assembled more frequently in the chapel than in the other places visited by the student. Here is the physical and spiritual heart of the campus thot reminds him of the essence of a Catholic edu cation. It is the hub about which all the spokes of leorning center. The home of the teaching triors it located between Mendel Holl and the Chapel. Thit location it ideal for the foculty tince their pretence it conttantly necettory in both of the above mentioned buildingt. The contervotive gothic ttyle familiar to us as Tudor is rep- resentative of the serene but dignified surroundings of the College. VILLANOVA MONASTERY One of the largest single structures on the campus, the Monastery is on imposing building. Its situation in the center of the campus, between the Chapel and Mendel Hall emphasizes its importance here at Villa- nova. The motherhouse of the Augustinian Province of St. Thomas of Villonova. it is the residence of the Prior Provincial and his associates and the headquarters of the Augustinian Order in the East. The building itself serves os the home of most of the clerical faculty mem- bers. Here are found the community refectory and com- mon room as well as individual rooms. During the past year, extensive work has been done to renovate the fourth floor of the building to provide additional living quarters for the priests of the order. Several times in the history of Villonova, the Monas- tery has been destroyed by fire. The present stone build- ing was erected after the last conflagration in 1932. and is completely fire-proof. Many conveniences were incorporated into its construction to make it one of the most modern buildings on the campus. To most students, the Monastery will remain the symbol of the continuing existence of the communal life. The life of the Hermits of Saint Augustine is still governed by the rule that their illustrious founder laid down thirteen centuries ago. The nerve center of the orgonizotion of Villonovo is Mendel Hall. Here, in this gray-stone building ore lo- cated the many offices and centers needed to keep the collegiote mochinery running smoothly. Even during the present period of de-centralization. Mendel Holl has been the focal point for oil administrative matters of the college. However, the top three floors, os well as the basement ore devoted to classrooms, laboratories, and shops. On the second floor, one may hear a lecture on the works of Cicero. The third floor would find an eager group hard ot work examining micro-organisms. Above them all. on the fourth floor, the chemists and physicists may be seen delving into the laws of noture ond their applications to the physical world about us. While, down in the basement, still other students ore unfathom- ing the mysteries of electronics or learning engineering fundamentals among the whines and whirrings of various power tools ond motors. To many students of Arts. Sciences, and Engineering. Mendel Hall is Villanova. MENDEL HALL Information concerning the College ond the immediate whereabouts of the faculty, administrators and students is obtained ot the information center which is locoted inside the main entrance of Mendel Hall. Mendel Holl. named ofter the famed Augustinion scientist, plays a most important role in o Villonovon's life, becouse it is the center of all administrative activity on the cam- pus ond houses the most important room of oil, the cafeteria, os well os the mony labor- atories and other classrooms. cum vi fiii:i: aviu fiviavice The Commerce ond Finonce building was erected in 1930, the first of several buildings completed after the second great fire. Facing Lancaster Pike, this modern edifice includes executive offices and classrooms for the Commerce and Finance curriculum and is up to date in every aspect. The building has a seating copacity in excess of fifteen hundred. Located in the east wing is o modern theoter-oudi- torium. seating seven hundred, which is used extensively for recitals, debates, and lectures. On the basement floor ore offices of the campus weekly newspaper and the band. Lockers for day stu- dents. and other smaller and less important rooms, ore olso located there. Second largest school on the compos is the School of Commerce and Finance, having an enrollment which comprises about one third of the student body. The courses offered in the Commerce and Finonce School are characterised by short hours in class and many more hours of outside work in research in various projects which constitute part of the regular assignments. Alumni Hall with ilt silvor dom it thn oldest unchanging land mark which remains on camput. At the college expanded thit building become a Preparatory School, and in 1924 wot converted ALUMNI HALL Silver-domed Alumni Hall, the original College and the oldest building on the campus, has been used as a dormitory since 1928. The east wing of this three story building houses Alumni gym. which was originally the scene of all home varsity basketball encounters. It is now the intromural basketball gym. which provides a place for the less skilled enthusiasts of basketball to show their stuff. into a resident dormitory. Alumni Hall mointoint thit ttatut today at futuro expansion intendt to proterv it ot the proud and mem- orable link to our patt. In the basement of the building ore the Maintenance office and storekeeper s domain, o port in the storm for the non-scholastic troubles of the campus residents. Over the course of a century, old Alumni Hall has soon the rovoges of war. fire, plague, and panic. It stands as a proud old soldier who knows he is loved and respected by all about him. and who says very little but knows a great deal. 15 CHEMICAL ENGINEERING BUILDING -f This edifico reveols itself to bo o modern construction which houses the Ijborotories eagerly owoited by the students of Chemi- col Engineering as well os the faculiy. During its construction. many Villanovans struggled through o lunch hour burdened with tho moral assistance givon the stone cutters os they prepored each stone to take its assigned place in the walls of this building. Compact and modern best describes the Chemical Engineering Building which the school year of 1948-49 sow added to the Villanova campus. The structure is part of the large scole building program launched by the college after the war. This new building contains three laboratories, two class rooms, a drafting room, and repair and supply shops. Designed for power plant studies, the main labo- ratory houses a gas-fired rotary drier, on absorption column, evaporators, filter presses, a dehumidifier and a fractionating column. The equipment in this unit opera- tions laboratory is on a semi-industrial scale. In addition Below it a view of one of the smaller modern laboratoriei uied by the Chemical Engineering Students in their new building. The highly specialized subject pursued, eliminates any necessity for large labs. This recent addition to the many buildings dotting the campus Is a realisation of a dream which had been in the minds of the de- partmentol heads and a blessing to the students preporing for this profession. The Chemical Engineering Building contains laboratories, class- room. drafting and seminar rooms, repair and supply shops, and numerous other conveniences for the learned and the learning in the field of education. to a seminar laboratory, there is a metallurgical labora- tory with an industrial type X-ray machine, a photo- micrograph. and various standard metallurgical ap- paratus. As part of the coaling system for certain pieces of equipment there is o circular sproy pond outside the building. With room for future expansion, the Chemical Engi- neering Building stands as a fine example of a progress- ive Villanova. Through its doors will pass many well- rounded men. who will be able to cope with the com- plexities of this machine age because they will hove had a Villanova education. The Chemicol Engineering Building houses the best scientific equipment and facilities ovailoble and, as a result, the student of chemical engineer- ing is afforded the opportunity of opplying his classroom or technical knowledge to the practical operation of the varied machinery. This is port of the complicated machinery that constitutes the in- terior of the Chemical Engineering Building. It is the latest in engineering mechanism and ol-hough considered a monstrosity by an outsider, nevertheless to the Chemical Engineer it is the result of years of study and experiments by the early pioneers in his pro- fession. CUMMDDORE BARRY BUILDING Since the middle of the Summer of 1943 Villonova has undergone o very definite metamorphosis. At that time the first contingent of sailor-students enrolled under the Novy's V-12 program. Since thot time, when the U. S. S. Villonova first came into being, through the war years and the transition to peace time status a certain nautical atmosphere attached itself to Villonova. Now we know that this transition is complete and thot the Navy is definitely a port of Villonova. For this year, with the opening of Commodore John Barry Hall, the U. S. S. Villonova. has not been de-commissioned. but rather revitalized and given a new berth for the training of future naval officers under the N. R. O. T. C. Colled by many, the most modern building of its kind in the country, Commodore Barry Hall, contains all the administrative offices, classrooms, and other drill rooms necessary to train the men in the Navy program assigned to Villanova. A masterpiece in functional architecture, it also blonds hormoniously with the rest of the campus. Inside everything is ship shape. From the light and airy classrooms, to the navigation bridge and fire con- trol center: in the small arms firing range and special classroom for submarine procedure, everything is de- signed to acquaint the Midshipmen with the latest in naval equipment and technique. LIBRARY With larger quarters and spacious facilities to house all reference books, the reading room is now extensively utilized by students. An efficient staff is olwoys available for consultation and help in procuring desired information. Complete sets of Encyclopedias, current biographies and foreign language dictionaries are part of the popularly used texts. The Library forms o third building of a proposed quadrangle. It commands an imposing position on one of the most travelled paths on the campus and excells all other campus edifices in both exterior and interior beauty. St. Augustine, in the foreground, stands watchfully over those who enter the building. REALIZATION OF A DREAM As yet un-nomed. the new Librory was, perhaps, the most eagerly awaited of all the buildings erected during the post two years. The college administration and faculty hod long recognized the need and importance of a good library facilify on the campus and had started preliminary work on the plans for such a building. Tho war years, however, with their restrictions on construc- tions curtailed the immediate plans for the building, but research continued. Hundreds of blueprints and plans of libraries throughout this country and Europe were studied ond an effort was made to incorporate the best features of eoch into a building that would properly serve the students at Villonovo. This year we witnessed the result of this long ond careful preparation. Standing os it does in the northern section of the campus, it is the first building seen when we enter from the railroad station. Like the other new structures erected during the past years, it is of hand hewn granite in the Gothic design traditional at Villonovo. Inside, however, there is a happy union of the traditional with the func- tional. From the conveniently located catalogue located in the main hall and the five half-floors of book stacks, to the large high-ceilinged reading room, everything is made comfortable for the student eager to pursue further research and learning. Special rooms set up to house collections pertaining to Villonovo ond the Augustinian Order provide space for mony voluable exhibits. There ore olso other rooms set oside to house rare and interesting collections of books heretofore kept from public display because of spatial limitations. All these, coupled with the newly established music room with facilities for phonographic reproductions and television, and the flexible seminar rooms make the library a center of all campus activities. The Browsing Room it designed to provido students with o place to smoke without disturbing those in the more populated sections of the library. Here they may glance at random through a variety of interesting books dealing with all phases of culture, politics, literature, science, ond history. Miss Henrich, Assistant Librarian, co-ordinates all library activity. One of mony duties brings her to the reference desk in the refer- ence and reading room os she solves o student's inquiry. The left background reveals a section of the card catalogue in the main lobby. AUSTIN HALL Austin Holl is on of the outstanding buildings in the motorists panoramic view of tho campus as he drives by the College on the Lincoln Highway. It is one of the larger dormitories and housed An attractive building of modified Gothic design, which blends well into the quiet beauty of the campus. Austin is a modern, comfortable residence hall. Located, as it is. near the C F building, its quarters are especially desired by the Commerce and Finance students. the College library in the east wing. The space available since the library was vacoted has been converted into a reception and gamo room for students. This holl. with a capacity for one-hundred and forty students, was built in 1924 and named after the founder of the Augustinion order. The College Library was formerly located in its east wing before removal to the new building. FEDIGAN HALL Located at the west end of the campus. Fedigan is the college's most recently constructed modern hall. An imposing stone structure, fireproofed throughout. Fedi- gon was built in 1930. during Father Griffin's term as president of the college. It was one of the units erected during a gigantic construction program initiated after College Hall was burned in 1928. Father Fedigan. in whose honor the building was named, was president of Villanova College in 1878 and for the two years follow- ing. This hall is fovored by its 128 upperclassmen because of its location on the campus. It is near the classrooms and the labs, yet far enough from the traveled part of the campus to give it the peace and quiet conducive to study and relaxation. The older Villanovons will recoil the site of (he tennis courts along Spring Mill Road, where, after the fire of ‘28. this upper clast dormitory that houses one hundred and twenty eight students, wot erected. The hall it named after Father Fedigan, who first envisioned the greater Villanova. « mo� oH� oc W« °n 1 , B.,„o.a c..' ''' 9 l9l2.

MARY’S HALL On the campus, but not of the campus may well be the best way to describe the Seminary Deportment of Villanovo. Actually, it is a college within a college. For here, the young men who are pursuing a course of study in preparation for the priesthood ore separated from the secular hub-bub of Villanovo College life. The center of the seminary is situated in St. Mary's Hall, one of Villanova's vine-covered halls. Adequate classrooms, re- fectory. common room, and individual quarters for the seminarians ore found in this building along with the seminary chapel. Originally known as Corr Hall, it wos buili- as a contribution of Mr. Henry Corr in 1914 to be used as a building for the education of young men for Holy Orders. Once on the outskirts of the campus, it now finds itself quite in the center of things. Even with the new librory on one side, Austin Hall on the other. Alumni Hall in front and the Pie Shoppe in bock. St. Mary's still maintains the air of withdrawal from the world and emphasis on the spiritual life that is demanded of the seminarians. ST. RITA’S HALL One of the smaller buildings at Villanovo, St. Rita's Hall serves as an annex to St. Mary's in the seminary department. Its location close by the main building allows free and easy access to the seminary classrooms and other facilities, and yet the private rooms provided for the seminarians allows the solitude and quiet neces- sary for study and contemplation. It is in the passage back and forth between St. Rita's and St. Mary's that the seminarians come into ot least visual contact with the student body of the college. An early rising student may see the block-habited seminarians on their way to daily Mass and Office at the chapel in St. Mary's Hall. During the war. St. Rita's wos pressed into service to house some of tho civilian students but in 1946 it was returned to its original use. The Daughters of the Most Holy Redeomer. a community of Sisters who have the core of the seminary kitchen are also quartered in St. Rita's. Thor it olwayt o moment of relaxation in the life of the neophyte Auguttinian. The above it olwayt. to the outtider, a typical scene. O'Dwyer Hall, along with its adjoining lot, was acquired in 1941 by Villanovo. The building was Formerly a private resi- dence located on Lancaster Pike. All the available space in the building, as in all the other residence halls on the campus, is being used to provide the most comfort- able accommodations possible for twenty- five students. This smaller group in O'Dwyer Hall permits a more homelike atmosphere than is possible in the larger buildings. A meeting room and place for limited free time recreation is provided by a parlor. During the year 1941 Villanovo acquired O'Dwyer Hall to meet it growing demandi. All the avail- able «pace in thi dormitory it utiliied to afford comfortable accommodation for the ttudent . SIMPSON HALL Mr. William Simpson, a trustee of the college, bestowed the property of Villa Manor Gables upon Villanovo in 1939. It consisted of a two-ond-o-half acre triangu- lar plot and a three-story, twenty-room residence. The school authorities originally equipped it for seminar purposes only, and many clubs and societies took advantage of its pleasant atmosphere. The Doyle collection of pointings, saved from the Villanovo fire of 1932, was used to adorn its rooms. But the changing economic conditions of the following years brought about the transformation of Simpson into a dormi- tory. exclusively, where 40 students live a rather comfortable club-like life. O’UWYER HALL Simp on Hall became an integral parf of the Villanovo Campus when Mr. William Simpson, o member of the Board of Trustees and on inval- uable friend of the College, presented it to the College. Middleton Holl hot the distinction of not being o dormitory. The infirmory for oil students is located in this building. It has the facilities of a small hospital, a mole nurse, doctor, ond resident priest Father Francis Boyle. O.S.A. MIllDLETDN HALL Middleton Holl, a combination stone and shingled wood building, is located on tho southwest corner of the campus. Since the completion of an extensive renovation program, the hall, once used os on infirm- ory for the naval students, is now a well- run. well-equipped small hospital. Middle- ton Hall is geared to serve all the medical needs of the students. It has a dispensary, diet kitchen, ond a twenty-three bed ca- pacity incuding an isolotion ward. The hall was nomed for Rev. Thomas J. Middleton, O.S.A.. one-time President of Villanova. former librarian as well as his- torical researcher of the College. DELUREY HALL Delurey Hall, located on the western edge of the compus across the field from Fedigon Holl. is one of the smaller dormi- tories. Formerly a private residence, it was bought by the college administration in 1943. It now houses 30 students, ond like its counterparts. O'Dwyor and Simpson Halls, furnishes its residents with a more restful and homelike atmosphere thon can be had in the larger formal dormitories. Like most buildings. Delurey Hall derives its name from on outstanding Augustinian priest. Father Laurence Delurey. who occu- pied a prominent position in the history of Villanova os president of the college from 1895 to 1910. Delurey Holl moy be one of the smoller dormi- torie� on the camput. but it offord� o more home- like ond restful atmosphere thon the larger holl� . Th Fi� ld House, completed in 1932 ot o cost of $350,000 with its auditorium, gymnasium hos be- come indispensable to college sport, social and religious life. Throughout the year the field house accommodates audiences whose prosence is brought about as a result of Belle Masque and Turf and Tinsel presentations and the highly spirited basketball games. FIELD HOUSE Much of the extra-curricular life of Villanova centers around the Field House, located ot the eastern end of the campus. Completed and opened in 1932. it houses the offices of the athletic deportment os well as the in- door facilities for all varsity sports. All home basketball gomes ore played on its spacious floor, and recent in- novations of gloss backboards and electric score board have been mode to give the spectators a clearer view of the action. In line with Villanovo’s sports for all program, there are provisions for those who indulge in other forms of relaxation. An excellent pool is available to all students as well as bowling alleys and pool and billiard tobies. Perhaps the Field House is best known as the center of social activities on the campus, for several times each year the auditorium floor becomes a ball room. The center of sports, dances, plays, concerts, the Field House is undoubtedly one of the best remembered buildings ot Villanova. GOOUHEAU STADIUM Villonova Stadium, standing tall and majestic close by the Field House, was named in momory of Leo Fronds Goodreau. one of Villonova's ablest scholars and gentlemen, who was fatally injured in varsity football practice in 1928. Built as port of the college expansion program of the I920's. its grassy field serves as a huge stoge for numerous athletic events, including the annual homecoming game, and os a practice ground for the 150 pound teom. In addition, the broad, cinder track which goes completely around the field is excellent for out- door track events as well as for the athletic limbering-up process. Constructed with smoothly finished concrete, ond re- enforced with steel, the south section of Goodreau Stadium, completed by 1927, together with the north section, finished in 1929. provides a seating capacity for over ten thousand people. The press box, located on Included In the extensive expansion program undertaken by the school during the nineteen twenties, the stadium serves not only os a place for contest of an athletic nature but also os a testi- monial to Leo Goodreau. top of the north side, has ample space for many news reporters. No man's college life would be complete at Villonova without the thrill of joining on excited throng of student rooters, cheering their team on to victory. Provision is duly made for this essential by such an athletic facility os Goodreau Stadium. That necessary feeling of com- petition among men. exercised during the footboll ond trock contests at this arena, gives a tremendous lift to school spirit, which stimulates Villonova men to higher ond greoter accomplishments, both in their scholastic ond in their physical encounters. During the spring and summer months, the baseball diamond, situated at the rear of Goodreau Stadium, serves as a rendezvous for Villonova students seeking a diversion from their studies and a place to release their excess, youthful energies. With the exception of contests between various high school teams from the main line ond the onnuol homecoming game. Goodreau stadium is used chiefly os a practice field for the Villonova foot- ball team. The never ending procession to and from the eastern end of the compus it due to the fact that Belle Air Holl it located there. Thit Hall wot erected in 1947 to accommodate the ever increat- ing number of ttudentt who found themtelvei without o teat in Commerce and Finance or the other respective tchool buildings. Regordlett of the far distant location of the Hall, the students ac- cept it since it benefits them in many respects. BELLE AIR HALL During the period of post-war expansion at Villanovo. there was a distinct need for some kind of emergency housing. To accommodate the record enrollments, four buildings procured from wartime surplus were erected at the eastern end of the campus between the Commerce ond Finance building and the Field House. Using the combined skills of tho architect ond the carpenter, a transformation ensued that bewildered most of the re- turning veterans. Large comfortable rooms were mode out of the erstwhile barracks ond Villanovo was able to accept two hundred more eager condidotes for knowl- edge. While the influx of veterans has begun to decline, the buildings ore now used to house the still large fresh- man class. The most recent addition to the campus in the current expansion program is the temporary building erected last summer behind the Commerce ond Finance building. After much musing on the part of the students os to whot its use would be, it was unveiled os the new quarters for the Barber Shop ond the home of our own radio station, WVIL. One quarter of the building is devoted to the tonsorial deportment with full facilities for a modern, three choir establishment. The remainder of the space is devoted to studios ond control room for the radio group. Morecsek, History professor opening the door J r' MeGralh. The foculty Belle Air Holi comtructed to accommodato tho largo number of freihmon who found themtolvet without adequate tooting tpaco in the Commerce ond Finance Building. Belle Air Hall's location is ideal for the resident freshmen since their residence is in the Barracks. However. Belle Air Hall is also utilized by the uppor clottmen and their appreciation is not as great at that of the freshmen. PIE SHOP While Villonova was building to house additional stu- dents during this boom period of education, it also be- come necessary to odd to the classroom space available. More ond larger classes demanded more clossrooms and the increased faculty required greater office space. To overcome these difficulties, the two-story building known os Belle Air Hall was erected. Then, too. let's not forget that the inner man of the enlarged student body must be attended to. Shortly after the war, it became obvious that the old site of the College Store, better known as the Pie Shop, would be totally inadequate. The situation was rapidly corrected by the erection of the new building which handles the wants and needs of the student population. B0AI1U DF THUSTEES The second Tuesdoy of every monlh Finds the above group of distinguished gentlemen gathored in Father McGuire's office talking over the many problems that ore attached to college administration. It is this group which docides the policies that Villanova will follow and roachos agreements on the motters of investing capital for improvements and other necessities. The Board of Trustees is the corporate body legally responsible for the operation of the College. It exercises a general control over the establishment of the policies that Villanova will follow os a collegiate institution. The influence of this group extends into the financial field wherein they decide on the copital investment, the founding of scholarships, and ultimate destiny of the College. Very Rev. Mortimer A. Sullivan as Provincial of the Augustinion Order in the East is ex-officio chairman of the Board. He is capably assisted by the carefully se- lected members of the group. They ore President of the College. Prior of the Monastery. Procurator. Dean of the Commerce and Finance ond two prominent Catholic laymen who have had yeors of experience in the business world. The Board of Trustees has o regular monthly meeting. unless motters of urgent importance necessitates their more frequent meetings. The loymen on the Board pos- sess invaluable experience in the business field ond the clerical members keop their fingers on the pulse of col- lege activities. The results of this well balanced adminis- tration is the great expansion of the Villanova we behold ♦odoy. In addition to the Board.of Trustees there is on advi- sory board the purpose of which is to advise the Presi- dent on the administration of financial matters. The proposals presented by the advisory board arc carefully discussed by the Trustees and their final decision whether it be affirmative or negative is always first ond foremost for the benefit of the institution. New members on the board are selected by the mem- bers themselves. No new members have been selected in the past year.

The fact that he hos served in this copacity for four terms of three years each attests Fother Sul- livan's capabilities and popularity. Eorlier in his career he was President of the College. 3: Very Rev. Francis X. N. McGuire. O.S.A.. is now in his filth year os President of Villanovo College, having been appointed to this position in 1944. During these yeors. he has witnessed what probably no other single president of Villanovo has heretofore seen. There have been trying war years, the influx of veterans, a continua- tion of large post-war enrollment, and expansion of fa- cilities to accommodate the growing student body. In Father McGuire s administration. Villanovo is ex- periencing its greatest expansion in history: academically os well os physically. In view of the trend toward larger enrollment. Father McGuire is competently disposing of the correlative problems. He is expending every meons ot his disposol to bring to Villanovo the necessary fac- tors for better education and to meet student needs in extro-curricular activities. Father McGuire has attained an enviable record from student to president. He was graduated from Villanovo in 1932 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. He then entered the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome receiving a Doctorate in Sacred Theology in 1939. Before his return to Villanovo os assistant professor in the Deportment of Religion in 1939, he attended Fordham University Gradu- ate School in Education. Prior to his appointment to the presidency. Father McGuire held several offices: student counsellor. Vice-President and Dean of Men. rapid ad- vancements such as this can reflect only extraordinary competence and versatility. We. of Villanovo. con look with pride to our president who is devoting so much of his time and energy in the field of education, not only at Villanovo but in other official capacities os well. Villanovo. under his leadership, shall continue to surge ahead. 14 VICE-PRESIDENT As Deon of Men ond Discipline, ond Moderotor of Athletics, the Rev. Edward B. McKee. O.S.A., is in charge of olmost oil non-academic activities of the students at Villonovo. Through his many ond varied duties, he is in very close contact with all. and all extra-curricular activities are fun- nelled through his office as well as other administrative matters incidental to the conduct of the 2,600 members of Villa- nova. To such a position of importance ond variegated tasks. Father McKee brings the experience of on oducator. coupled with years as a counsellor ond prefect, ond a firm appreciation for the volue of sports moulding young men. UEAN Since the creation of the position in 1944, the Rev. Edward M. Dwyer. O.S.A., has been Dean of the College. Through his office pass all decisions concerning curric- ulum. schedules, ond the ocodemic stand- ards of the college. He is faced with the task of co-ordinoting the classes of oil the different schools within the college from the standpoint of both student and faculty. To arrange odequote classes with facilities greatly overtaxed by post-war expansion wos o problem in itself, but to do so with- out lowering Villonovo's standord of teach- ing seemed nigh on impossible. However. Father Dwyer performed this administra- tive function, while still maintaining his position as on educator. 35 Sooted. Left to Right: Fr. Kemmc. Austin Hall: Fr. Burke. Alumni Hall; Fr.

From some of the world's.greatest educational institutions has been drawn a group of men upon which rests the reputation and future standing of the college. The importance of careful selection cannot be over em- phasized. for it is upon the success of these men that the individual success of our graduotes in later years de- pends. Truly, whatever greatness a college moy achieve, it is to the members of the faculty that a great deal of credit must go. Pictured below: Father Paquette and Jim Rooney, discuss a Moth problem. Thi� pictute is typical of the informality and friendliness which exists between fac- ulty and student here at Villanovo.

ALSH. OS ofe 0 63 Divisiuiv or ARTS AJVD SCIENCES The Division of Liberol Arts ond Science is on out- growth of the Liberol Arts School which traces its history to the foundation of the College. Through the years the School hos been expanded and modified to conform with the necessities and demands of a changing world, so thot it now includes departments of Science and Edu- cation ond contains an enrollment which is-approximate- ly one third of the student body. The Arts curriculum with its foundation deep in the bedrock of Scholastic Philosophy, endeavors, through- on appreciation of Catholic culture and ideals and a realization of man's accomplishments in all fields throughout the ages, to present a well rounded education of the whole man. intellectual and spiritual in order that ho might properly evaluate the intrinsic worth of all that he may encounter throughout life. With this ideal, a Villonovo Education, the student is better prepared to cope with the problems and dangers presented by ma- terialism and other modern false ideologies. During the first two years all Arts men are given the some basic course consisting of Religion, Philosophy, English, Ancient and Modern Languages, History. Physical Science, and Mathematics, while in the Junior ond Senior yeors they concentrate upon their Major studies. Majors may be selected from Philosophy. English. History, or General Arts. The Bachelor of Arts degree equips the graduate for collegiate teaching or entrance to Low or other Graduate Schools, or for various businesses which re- quire a diversified background. In the Science Deportment the student is offered a choice of majors from among Ciology. Physics. Chemistry ond Mathematics. The Biological Science curriculum is designod primarily for Pre-Medical ond Pre-Dental stu- dents, though it also serves as on excellent bosis for graduate research work. The Pro-Medical course includes not only oil the requisites for entrance into professional school, but also the added odvontages of several Arts subjects. Sociology. Medical Jurisprudence ond Public Speaking. In Villanova’s adequately eqipped and ef- ficiently staffed laboratories, the science students find ample opportunity to become fomilior with the practical aspects of their field through supervised experiments. In The Chemistry laboratory is the scene of several interesting ex- periments both during scheduled laboratory periods ond ot the students leisure in his spare time. Faculty members and laboratory assistants are always on hand to caution and enlighten the stu- dent as he progresses with his porticulor experiment. keeping with the increased demands of government and industrial research for the services of graduate Chemists. Physicists and Mathematicians, the curricula in those sciences ore constantly kept abreast of the many new discoveries and changes in technique which occur fre- quently. The Education Deportment has the primary purpose of training teochers for secondary schools. The course of study is so organized that upon graduation the Edu- cation student is qualified to receive a teacher s certifi cate from the Stotc. The Freshman and Sophomore curricula offord a cultural and scientific background so that the advanced students can concentrate on their major courses and on the history, principles and psychol- ogy of Education. In accordance with recognized theories of Education the final semester in the department of Education con- sists of supervised practice teaching at o nearby second- ary school. This practical experience is invaluable in accustoming the future teachers to octuol classroom pro- cedures and conditions. The office of Dean of the Division of liberol Arts and Science is copobly administered by Rev. Edward J. Mc- Carthy. O.S.A.. Ph.D.. who has the difficult tosk of co- ordinating such o diversified group of studies. The Mendel Amphitheater it olwoyt crowded with freshmen for the lecture given by Dr. Haenitch on the principle� of goneral chemis- try, which I� a botic curricula that each and every engineering stu- dent must take in their freshmen yeor. A complete and understanding knowledge in this course it essentiol if the froth engineer intends to complete a college career. Father Dwyer it in oil probability informing the boyt that the one hour they spend in clots de- mands six hours of study, if they hope to under- stood the science of correct thinking. Also, to aid the student in his study of philosophy Father Dwyer holds a discussion class once a week in oddition to the three hours of scheduled clottet o week. Registration Day to the upper classman is a doy thot will always be remembered by any student entering his college career. Hit college hondbook is presented to him with the intention that reference to it by him will be made quite often when in doubt about the college rules. .SCIIIIIII. •ml W UF ENGINEEHIIVG AM� .a � « � ' “ ‘p— 75S. � . - •«• p'°bUm .mp� °t«a- , rt„9 a.port� ' Th °; 1W. a m-.co «' K A, K uonvUr • � «;?• «« - • p7„r. • b; r cL’- «� «....... «• � � ° h Actuol work and practice in addition to the theory to be ocquirod by the student in the classroom is provided for the student of Engineering. The purpose of the engi- neering school curriculum is to send the student with his degree right into the field of his profession rather than to a graduate school. Consequently the student must get at Villonova os much experience and professional training as is possible to be given. What mokes the en- gineering curriculum so absorbing of the student's time is the extensive field and laboratory work which must be done to supplement the normal number of classroom hours where the mere theory is imported. This practical aspect of engineering education begins with the very elements of manual troining in the Fresh- man year in the shop courses which teach wood shaping ond metol shaping techniques, where the recent high school graduote finds out that he still has a lot to learn. In his upper class years he goes on spending endless afternoon hours wrestling with output machines which grow ever more complicated and present myriads of switches, valves, dials, gauges, indicators, exhausts, and sofety godgots. The non engineering student at Villonova is not so familiar with this side of the engineers life for most of the laboratories ore deep in the recesses of Mondel Hall. What all Villanovans are familiar with is the elementary surveying training demands of all engineering candi- dates. for the campus ond its environs in the spring and fa.I are dotted with little groups of engineering sopho- mores learning the first principles of land measurement.

SCHOOL OF « COMMERCE AND FINANCE Elementary Accounting is a pre-requisite for sub- sequent odvonced courses in ony major field of study pursued in the Commerce ond Finance School. Soles Administration is essentiolly interesting to all Morketing Majors. Classroom demonstrations give the students necessary experience and al- low informal discussion periods on Modern methods. Originally Villonova wos founded to offer a thorough liberal education. To that end. the first dosses held in 1842 were primarily in the liberal arts. However, with the possoge of time the great importance of the busi- ness field, ond the need for men with speciol training olong the lines of commerce become apparent. In 1922 the School of Commerce ond Finance was established to give the specialized training in business fields while keep- ing within the over oil objectives of a rounded, liberal education. With the growing demands for college troined busi- ness men. the enrollment in this deportment grew until now it is the second largest group on the campus. In 1931 the present building housing the businessmen was erected. However, in recent years even these spocious facilities have proved inadequate, and additional class- rooms in Belle Air Hall have been pressed into service to handle the record number of students. All courses in the School of Commerce and Finonco lead to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Economics. This is the fundamental course upon which the curriculum is built. Major fields of study in Accounting. Marketing. Finonco. ond Preparation for Low ore offered to those interested in these particular fields. Other courses in the A clow in Business Ethics ot times involves o detailed outline as the students analyze the problem under discussion. Father Mc- Nally provides an interesting course offered to all Commorce and Finance students. related fields of Advertising. Insurance, and Bonking are provided, along with those in English. History. Language, and Philosophy. In the technical courses, every effort is mode to inte- grate the classroom theory with its actual application to business offairs. Many of the members of the faculty have had long ond varied experience in their respective fields os well as considerable teaching experience. This tends to make the classes particularly helpful in lotcr life. As for os possible, the actual workings of o business are studied through field trips ond guest speakers rep- resenting the different phoses of commerce under con- sideration. In this regard, much of the activity is token over by the study groups ond clubs which hove been organized in such particular fields as accounting, indus- trial relations, ond international relations. The culturol subjects ore definitely included in the prescribed course of study, with greot emphosis on the knowledge of government and contemporary affairs, os well os the ethics and philosophy necessary to the Catho- lic man in business. The course does not presume to equip every student for an immediate position as o fin- ancial tycoon, nor does it guarantee that the graduates will be experts in any particular field. It does provide a thorough, sound bosis of the fundamentals of business practice, economics, accounting, low. and related sub- jects. upon which the groduote can build his subsequent detailed ond specific knowledge. Here we seo the Assistant Professor of History Mr. Manley. ex- plaining the many viewpoints thot hove been expressed concern- ing the historical background of. shall we soy. the drafting of the Constitution. Mr. Manley is greotly appreciated by the students for one particular likable quality which is; the humorous element thot he con extract from historico! doto and theroby turn a bor- ing hour into one of enjoyment. Ten minutes to the hour findi the student either finishing his lost class for the day. dashing over to the pie shop for a cup of coffee or merely transferring from one room to the next for another closs. When in doubt seek odvice from the head of your deport- ment and thereby be assured of certoin and secure informa- tion. This is eioctly what Joseph Hennesy is doing and Mr. Schoeffer os olwoys willingly obliges. The odjocent picture proves the old saying thot you con please some of the people some of the time but not all of the people all the time. Thot is the situation confronting Fother Dunne who we are sure will do his best to bring about unanimous approvol on his suggestion. EXTENSION AND 76 SUMMER SCHUULS Since 1918. in oddition to its regular college curricu- lum. Villonovo has conducted on extension school during the summer. The original purpose of the school wos to enable nuns to do graduate work during their summer vocations and assist themselves in meeting the require- ments of the state board of education for primary and secondary school teachers. The plan proved to be a great success. At its outset, the school was under the supervision of the Prefect of Studies. It is now conducted os a distinct function of the college with the Reverend Joseph C. Bartley. O.S.A., Ph.D.. Dean of the Commerce ond Finance School, os director. The summer school of- fers both graduate ond undergraduate work with courses leading to M.A.. M.S., A.B.. or B.S. degrees in arts, edu- cation, nursing, ond library science. The term runs from late June until the middle of August. The courses ore de- signed to meet the needs of not only Cotholic teaching sisterhoods and brotherhoods, but olso. of regular stu- dents of Villonovo College ond other institutions who wish to moke up possible deficiencies or to take ad- vanced courses. The serious ottitude which the Sisters hove for their Summer course is reflected in the picture below. They ore well oware thot in order to justify their presence here at Villonovo every minute must be utilized in un- interrupted study. The primory purpose of the Summer Course is to provide well equipped teachers for the diocesan ond community sponsored schools at the grammar and high school levels. li 1VAVN SCIENCE Designed to teach the fundamentals of locating ond destroying submarines, the Sangamo Troiner simulates actual conditions on the bridge of a destroyer hunting on enemy undersea raider.

Any practicol volues of speed ond course can be supplied to either croft by the trainer. A member of the successful NROTC rifle teom practices shooting in prone position. Competition is corried on through the mail with the other colleges in the progrom with both rifle ond pistol teams. Emerging from the wortime V-12 program, the Noval Reserve Officer's Training Corps hos been designed to provide the Navy with well-informed, experienced, re- serve officers. The NROTC consists of two types of stu- dents. regular and contract. Regular midshipmen are chosen by notion-wide examinations, physical examina- tions, and character interviews. Their tuition and books ore paid for by the Navy and they ore paid o yearly subsistence allowance. Three summer cruises ore re- quired for regulars aid two years active service after graduation. Controct students are selected from the students of the fifty-two NROTC colleges in the coun- try. They must pass physical and character requirements but receive no financial aid from the Navy. Controcts. however, ore not required to participate in cruises or serve in any active capacity after they receive their commissions. Villonovo is fortunate in having one of the finest Naval Science buildings in the country. Recently com- pleted Commodore John Barry Hall contains a valuoble omount of ordnance, radar, navigation and other Novel equipment with which future ensigns ore given thorough training. Naval Science classes are supplemented by two hours of laboratory a week. The warmer weeks of the year will find the midshipman engaged in the intric- acies of infantry drill while the cooler weather brings about practical demonstrations and drills with the equip- ment in the armory. The Villonovo unit is under the command of a Cap- tain. Novol officers instruct the various classes in Naval Science, and regulor Navy personel! assist in the opera- tion of the Novel Science Deportment. Under the Holloway Plon. the NROTC is a long range program which odds not only to the Novy but to the schools sponsoring the program by drowing capable and intelligent men into it.

Fresh from high-schools come still others with the spirit and vitality of the traditional college freshmon on his first big adventure. Not that the veterans were a bunch of prc-mature greybeards, nor were they cynical neurotics. But. anyone who had faced von Runstead in the Ardennes, or manned an LST ot Okinawa, or flew high over Ploesti. were less interested in the usual college pranks, ond more interested in knowing whot wos happening in the world ond how could a further repetition of world conflict be avoided.

FLAS3 DF 1943 But. the two major groups met and worked together ond had a salutary effect on each other. The vets helped the younger fellows to realize that what was happening in the world was more important than schoolboy pranks. And the younger fellows in their turn, helped to restore some of the happy informal atmosphere that has olwoys made college days memorable. Actually the class was in a more or less chootic state until the second semester of 1946. Till then many addi- tions were mode to it and the process of settling down was still in progress. However, under the guidance of our moderator. Pother Thomas A. Burke. O.S.A.. Presi- dent Joseph D Aurio. Gerald O Connor. and other active members, the sociol affairs of the class were begun with the Sophomore Cotillion. This was one of the first attempts at re-estoblishing the pre-war social calendar at Villonovo. and the success of this offoir raised interest in the activities to follow. In fact, so great wos the interest of the class, thot in the Spring of 1947. Villonovo sow its first real political campaign fo' class office. Instead of the usual hap- hazard. individualistic nominations for offices, two complete slates of candidates were proposed for offices in the Junior Class. The United party had James Plun- kett os its standard bearer, while the Progressives were led by the indefatigable John Kucha. Then, followed a hectic two weeks of real honest to goodness election- eering, complete with posters, handbills, rallies, ond parades. After the last ballot hod been counted it was a decisive victory for the entire Progressive Party. And while the name seems to have been an unfortunate choice in the light of later national developments, the men of the Progressive Party were to lead the class through the all important Junior year, and particularly through Junior Week. And so it was. From the very first ceremony, the Mother's Day Moss, on May 3rd. even the weather wos according to plan. In rapid succession the Blazer Ball, Junior Prom, and Junior Dinner Dance, all achieved the success of all such well planned ventures. One third year at Villanovb. found a relatively stable Junior class attending to the matters at hand. Plans were laid early to insure the smooth execution of Junior Week and oil that went with it. After the first semester George Guido ascended to the presidency of the class and continued to carry through the preparations already made under his predecessor. Many months before the scheduled time General Chairman Roy Kelm, met with his various committee heads: Frank McBride. Joe Hen- nessy. Bob Stoelker. Jim Plunkett. Charley Whitaker, and Kevin McChesney. Careful planning was the keynote of the entire affair. Every detail of the many events were gone over to guarantee a perfect Junior Week. Now, in the Senior year this curious admixture that found itself thrown together three or four years ago has become a friendly well integrated organization. The final items on the social agenda, the Senior Prom and Dinner Dance, were handled with the efficiency and precision that has become the hallmark of the Class of '49. For most it marked the beginning of the tapering off period of college in February, while others were busily contemplating and arranging for their futures in businoss. or professions, or graduate study. And while looking ahead, they were also looking back on their collegiate years. Looking back with a combination of wistfulness and pride. Wistfulness at the good time and happy friendships they had made during the years just past. And pride at being numbered among the Alumni of Villanova College, and particularly at being members of the Class of 1949. Howord Lanin's music climated Junior Week festivities os he helped moke our prom a memorable one. A Parisian Street Scene decoration theme served to enhance the evening's merriment.

FRESHMEN— ELASS UF 1952 Once more the bright-eyed, fuzzy-cheeked freshman is seen back on the campus. After the wortime. and post-war interlude the appearance of recent high school graduates in large numbers is a gratifying and reassur- ing sight. As yet a relatively unknown quantity in student affairs, the spirit shown by the Frosh during their period of orientation should be a fair indication of what con be expected of this class.

In another open-oir gathering, Orienta- tion members submit to an avalanche of questions os the Freshmen anticipate formal opening of the academic year. The written questions were answered at this meeting for the benfit of all con- cerned to clarify mony previous indi- vidual doubts. The volume of activity incident to registr rinth of Mendel Hall emanates from the building. There one can find Rev. Georg O.S.A., Deon of Student Activities and ordinator simplifying the enrollment proc A group of Frosh Volunteers os they are escorted to the Field House to pol- ish band instruments. Similar contin- gents are called upon daily to help in minor tasks which stimulate a fraternal feeling amongst the students. i 141 Student Council members and Orientation Committee in a joint session during a Frosh work-out. Since the two are in liaison with the administration for the task of expediting registration and ad- justment. both groups function as dependents on each other. The Student Council members are being addressed by their Vice-Chair- man, Edward Quinn, also Choirmon of the Orientation Committee, os he issues instruction pertinent to the program at bond. STUDENT COUNCIL Incumbent on this group is the task of supervising and co-ordinoting student activities which ore of direct con- cern to oil Villanovans. The send-offs given the Varsity Football team were prefaced by rallies originated from the council. Proposed administrative items of diverse forms were relayed to the proper authorities after de- tailed discussions at bi-monthly meetings. In a reciprocal manner, the College Administration colled upon the council to disseminate their periodic directives amongst the student body. Concurrent with the vacating of the library from Austin Hall to its new quarters, the council hos met the need for a reception room in Austin by en- couroging its construction at the library's former locale. Having conducted two dances they purchased a tele- vision set for this room available for the use of day-hops and residents. 142 The Orientation Committee is comprised of Sopho- mores, Juniors, and Student Council members. This com- mittee is charged with the onerous task of adopting the Frosh to their new environment and is responsible to the Student Council in upholding rules and regulations established by tradition. During the early part of the first semester. Orientation generated the appropriate school spirit which prevailed throughout the year. In con- junction with the administration, the committee is further utilized during the registration period by directing all traffic on campus to its proper residential or academic destination. As a co-ordinotor of assemblies and rallies, the members ore on hand to render any services re- quired. They expedited the reservation of a Frosh cheering section at football games this season and con- ducted a successful orientotion which ended prior to the lost home game. Frosh regs consist of blue cops and identification buttons: the orientotion members are dis- tinguished by their white hats. A grouping of both not only represents the school colors, but manifests a symbol of fraternity united and working in close harmony for the honor and glory of Alma Mater. The Student Council in a joint open-air union with the Orientotion member� at plant are ditcutted for a Froth Cheering tection at the first home football game. FRESHMEN ORIENTATION TViomot SulUvon.

Within a relatively short period of time, the new student realizes that the development of the faculties of his soul is of paramount concern to those under whose charge he hos been ploced. His religious activities form the focal point from which all else emanates. While Villonova mokes no distinction of creed in her requirements for odmission. she exists primarily for the training of Cotholic youth and follows Catholic princi- ples in her educational policy. The majority of her stu- dent body is naturally Catholic. The college chopel and chaplain's office are the cen- ter of the religious activities of the College. These activi- ties commence with a Mass on the opening day of class, a fitting reminder that God is the source of all knowl- edge and that without Him education loses all its mean- ing. The Holy Sacrifice of the Moss is celobroted several times a day throughout the year, and every Fridoy is designated as the students weekly Moss day. A special noon day Mass was begun at the beginning of this scho- lastic year to afford all students, including day hops an opportunity to attend doily Mass. Evening devotions, which correspond to the liturgical season ore held twice weekly for both lower and upper Th formal opening of the school yoar it on event begun by o mott in the Field Houto celobrated by the college administratori.

It is most edifying to see the number of students in odorotion. A day of retreat is held on the Thursday before the first Fridoy of October. Of the greatest importance is the annual student retreat conducted for four doys fol- lowing the completion of the first semester. All scholostic activities are suspended during these doys of spiritual recollection and contemplation. The retreat is concluded with a Solemn Moss and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. This year Villonovo initiated o Loy Faculty Rctreot— � he first in the history of the college—os well os the Cono Conference, which was held in the Spring. This conference afforded oil married Villanovons ond their wives o wonderful opportunity to come closer to God ond to renew their marital vows. Confessions ore heard daily preceding each Moss. Requiem Mosses ore celebrated for the deceased stu- dents. deceased mombers of student families, and their deceased friends. The Chaplain s Office also co-ordinates the activities of the religious organizations, such os the Sanctuary So- ciety. the Catholic Press Apostolote, ond the Young Christian Student organization, which is engaged in specialized Catholic Action and whose purpose is the dissemination of Christian ottitcdes in the Student com- munity. In addition to the religious organizations mentioned above, a student may seek admission into other religious associations of a purely devotional character. The Arch- confraternity of Sts.

LAMBDA KAPPA DELTA Triol ond error is the greotost time con- sumer of the medicol student. The end- less number of hours spent by him in the loborotory ore sometimes fruitless while ogoin he may be very fortunate, hoving completed his assignment ond free to reloi in the manner to which he is accustomed to studying. Villanovo's honorary pre-medical fraternity is under the careful guidance of its Moderator, the Rev. James Donnellon. O.S.A. The fraternity has been in existence for two years ond holds the respect of the other fraterni- ties because the Lambda Kappa Delta is one of the more octive student societies on the campus. Membership is limited to biology majors ond students aspired to bio- logical ond medicol research. Anticipating future ex- pansion. on entirely new constitution was drafted ond adopted. The activities for the year 1948 were highlighted by addresses by prominent authorities on medicol and bio- logical subjects, smokers, reactivation of the Mendel Bulletin, a scientific quarterly designed for students of the biological sciences ond participation in the Inter- Fraternity Boll. A clear reflection of the sincere interest of the students in the organization's activities was the response to the original membership drive, participation being pledged by over 51% of the men enrolled in the School of Science. The consistently high attendance at all meetings demonstrated the earnest desire of its mem- bers to uphold the ideals and purposes of Lambda Kappa Delta. Father James A. Donnellon is enlightening the boys on the bio- logical structure of the various organs of the human body. The informal otmosphere that prevails ond the smoll group which is allotted to each discussion is beneficial to the students in thot such conditions facilitate their comprehension of each lecture.

This group chooses its members from the school of Engineering. The Phi Kappa Pi began its career on the campus bock in 1907- 1908. and since then, it continues to promote an ener- getic influence for its members. The current president of this fraternity is John Link, and the moderator is the Rev. John S. O'Leary, O.S.A.. both of whom have done much to odvance on engineer- ing interest on the school grounds. Initiation night is held in the spring for the Freshmen of the engineering closs, and also for the upperclassmen who wish to join this organization. Numerous smokers are held in the winter, and an Inter-Fraternity Ball in the Spring, os port of the club’s social life at College. The Phi Kappa Pi also features the presentation at the conclusion of each year of the Humphries award, given to the most promising Fresh- man from the school of engineering. The Phi Kappa Pi creates many happy hours for the engineering student, who spends a great part of his day working in the laboratory. Officers of the Phi Koppa Pi often hold informal meetings in Mendel Hall to distri- bute ideas and promote new plans. The Rev. John P O'Leary. O.S.A.. moderator of the Phi Kappa Pi hot endeovored to fill the objectives of this fra- ternity which it to promote Engineering interest on the campus.

Greetings to you from the Spanish Club, one of the youngest yet among the most active of the campus or- ganizations. The purpose of this club is two-fold in effect, cultural ond social. As its name implies, it culturally helps to develop in the students of Spanish an appreciation of the tongue through conversational use. With this end in view, all meetings are conducted in the native longuage of the Club. So that members may also realize the beauty in the written form of this language an annual literary contest is held with the topic the life of thot great Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes. In the social way. the Club features a program of fes- tivity ond fiesta, highlighted by the two celebrations. Noche Espanola, and Cervantes Doy. The former, a presentation of Spanish songs, lectures, ond movies, is held in the fall, and the latter, a spring dinner-dance, marks the awarding of prizes for the litorory contest and the culmination of the year's activity. In the few years of its reactivation since the war. it might be sofely said that this group has attracted more members than any other campus group.

Under the direction of Father Dunne, the International Relations Club has become one of the best organized and most active groups on campus. The club performs a very important function since it has os its primary pur- pose the discussion of topics of on international nature. During these days of in ense misunderstanding bctweecn nations throughout the world, the necessity of using every means of enlightenment can be readily appreci- ated. The group is striving therefore, through discussions, to stimulate interest ond increase the average student's knowledge of world-wide offoirs. The organization has joined in a plan of cooperation with many other col- legiote international clubs and has taken port in several radio programs as well as in student forums concerned with the vital problems focing the world todoy.

The Industrial Relations Club was organized last year coincidental with o popular demand for additional knowledge and analysis of industrial management and labor problems. As each student will eventually concern himself with a phase of labor or management, the club boasts an ac- tive membership and diversified schedule of activities. The monthly meetings are supplemented by guest speokors, usually a prominent authority in the lobor management field. Th major event of Intor-rociol Wook was a presentation of Iho fraternity medal by Geoger Guida to Herb Me- Kinnley. The presentation wo� mad during half-tim at the Georgetown basketball gome. The objective of the Inter-racial Club is to attain the Peoce of Christ and the reign of Christ in the hearts and minds of all men. through the recognition of the Brotherhood of Man under the Fatherhood of God. and to strive to bring about the establishment of a truly Christian Democracy in which the God given dignity and destiny of every human being is fully recognized in lows, government, institutions and human conduct. Fr. Lunney. O.S.A.. has been the moderator of this impor- tant activity for a number of years. In their bi-weekly meetings, but especially during Inter-racial Week, this Club endeovors to study and put into practice its principles. This year a sizoble sum was realized for Catholic Scholarships for Negroes. Inc.” and the annual award, termed the Excellence Award, was bestowed upon Harrison Dillard. Cleveland athlete, for his outstanding performances both on and off the track.

PHYSICS CLUB Primarily on organization for those students majoring in Physics, the Physics Club of Villonovo enables those who are following this curriculum to get together on monthly occasions for semi-formol lectures on various topics connected with almost any of the various Sciences. This group is about as active os the extremely heavy schedules of its members permits ond in the post its members have made trips to various nearby research laboratories, organized several scientific projects, given lectures on severol occasions both at Villonovo and at other colleges, and held dinners for its members on one or two. occasions. While its membership is rather lim- ited due to the small number of students who usually major in physics, the club has shown itself to be as ac- tive for its size as any other group on the Campus, and to be even more active in the future. Among the variout activities of the Physici club is the showing of movios Unt to the group by the A necessity to oil students studying U. S.

Sovetal years have transpired since the origin of the Turf and Tinsel Club by Martin L. Gill, then a student, now a faculty member, and Horry Stuhldreher. present Director of Athletics at the University of Wisconsin. Turf and Tinsel originclly provided on opportunity for all othletos to indulge in an annual musical comedy de- void of any professional requirements except a flair for song and dance. Script and lyrics were compiled by Edward A. Keotgh and Robert M. Whelan. After a temporary moratorium there wos a formal revival of tho club last year. Annual productions ore planned and all students may participate. Originol lyrics and dances are impressively executed under the dirertion of Robert M. Whelan ond George W. Noake. Last year's production was a satire on the life of John Smith and Pocahontas, while this seoson wit- nessed a modern treatment of Cleopatra's era in Cleo wos a Lady. The hcorty response and increasing membership each year seem to assure this club continued success and pop- ularity. Richard Lauman storred in the principal role in CUo wot a Lady 01 CUopotro. This wot the second annual production of the club since its revivol in 1947. In contrast with last year's production, which satirixed the life of John Smith and Pocahontas, Cleo wos a Lady offered a twentieth century treatment of Cleopatra's life as influenced by More Antony and Julius Caesar. 167 W-V-I-L VILLANUVA Stotion manager, Thomas Sullivan, gets together with Skip Keenley of tho production stoff and Edward Conavon, one of the station's engineers to discuss future plans and improvements in the station's management.

Despite the physical infirmaties suffered by the station in its in- fancy. its programs were of such good quality the ad- ministration generously supplied the staff with space ond material with which to build a bigger and better studio. The present studio has three rooms, two broadcasting studios ond a main control room. The audio-technician in the main control room has a clear view of both studios through spacious double-lighted windows. Mod- ern soundproofing material covers the walls and ceilings of the studio. The transmitting unit of the station was built entirely Tho audio-technician gives tho cast of a radio show tho OK sign, signifying that everything is running according to schedule. Each audio-technician is familiar with a complete sign language which is essential to the smooth running of tho station. An audio-technician in the control plays the records while the disc jockey in Studio B gives the potter that introduced each plotter.

A new monitoring console has recently been built, which gives a greater scope of programs to the station. Two sixteen- inch turntables, five microphones with various stands, inter-studio phones and other equipment complete the technical end of the station. Programming has been done with an eye to the sta- tion s selected audience, the students of Villanova Col- lege. Recorded popular music has been the type of program thot takes up most of the air time. Quiz shows, dramas, forums, and student talent have also been fea- tured every week. It is believed that the station has finally grown up and will next year go on to the top in college radio. Sportcoster Chuck Rafetto gives the lot.tt icoop on a Villanova victory to WVIL listeners.

MARCHING HAND Villanovo's crock seventy piece Marching Bond mem- bers were among the very first students to return to campus in September, arriving one full week early to practice for the football opener with Texas A M. Under the tutelage of Drill Master Paul Teel and the twirling batons of Drum Majors Boyle and Hovens. the bondsters officially ushered in the season and set out to cheer the Wildcats in our 1948 victory parade. Boosted to record size by a strong Freshman contin- gent. the band took to the road twice to offer a few of the bright spots in our two losses to West Point and Boston College. The group mastered a set of intricate maneuvers to celebrate every home game. and. in addi- tion to the Army and B. C. struggles, entertained local fans at the Duquense.

Rev. Ralph E. Handran. O.S.A. The forty-five piece group, aided by three of our Immaculata neigh- bors. began practice early in 1948 to prepare for on extensive schedule of Winter and Spring appearances. The Band's new arrangements featured o well balanced program of classics, marches, and popular numbers. Discording last year's selections, the twenty-one voice Glee Club added a group of new songs to their reper- toire. Their voices were blended into a medley of college songs, current hits, and old favorites, joining the band in some of the best of Victor Herbert. The Bond and Glee Club were well received in their debut ot Malvern Prep and went on to entertain ot Mater Misericordia. Immaculata. Chestnut Hill, and Holy Child, with side trips to orphanages, high schools, and hospitals in the Philadelphia areo. Late in May the combined group climaxed a most successful season by playing for many of our Alumni at the annual entertain- ment of the Catholic University Club in Pittsburgh. BAND ROSTER J.

Ac- tually. it is a long tedious, but eminently rewarding job to turn out a successful yearbook. Work begins on the next yearbook before the current issue is actually com- plete. Before the summer vacation begins preliminary plans must be completed for the issue of next year. While the tentative college staff is resting up for the coming months of work, the publisher's staff is already busy changing the outlined plans into a working model. Then with the start of the new school year, the work starts in earnest. For instance, this year, a full stoff had to be recruited to supplement the trained men who worked on last year's book. Assignments were handed out and soon the flow of copy was coming into Copy Editor Frank Wilkisson for correction and revision. As- sistant Editor Paul York took over then, with his staff of typists to get the approved copy into the form necessary for publication. While this work was proceeding, the photography stoff under Don Robinson was busy arranging for the complete photographic coverage of all campus events, organiza- tions and activities. The very important item of financ- ing through advertisements was copably handled through the leg work of Business Manager Bob Powers. And with the help of such old reliables as Frank Pitocchelli. Paul McMenamin. Stan Jonik. and Jim Gallagher help- ing to clean up the inevitable lost minute details the book finally goes to press and the twenty-seventh annual Belle Air proudly takes its place in Villanova's history. Each year the presentation of the Annual is long owoited by the students. To all. it is a reminder of events of the past year and recalls to mind the im- portant happenings that have occurred. To the gradu- ates it is an invaluable memento of their final days of college, a pictorial reminder of their classmates and their alma mater. But such an eagerly sought souvenir of college days does not just happen. It is the result of long series of planning, arranging, and hard work. Perhaps the stoff work necessary to produce the Belle Th« photographic staff undor the supervision of Dan Robinson mokes a final decision on pictures for the yearbook. They ore shown indeiing finished prints for the inactive files. Robert Powers. Business Manager, performs most of the log work involved in a yearbook publication.

Once o week during the school year there is o greot rush to the strategic points where the Villonovon is placed for student distribution. There the students of Villanovo grab the campus weekly ond go off into some quiet corner to digest the contents. The task of putting out a weekly poper is for from simple. Talent, time and teamwork are required if the issue is going to be a success. From Thursday night when the paper is mode up. until Monday night when it goes into the presses, there is nothing but hurried activity. Proof-reading, copy changes, lote bulletins, oil go to- wards giving white hoir to harried editors. The finished product, however, gives them a sense of satisfaction. On the first page is found all the latest campus news, dances, dub news, dramatic production, religious exer- cises and all other items of student interest along with pictures of current projects. In the feature deportment which takes up pages two and three, the reader has a variety of reading matter. A column of well written editorials on subjects of current interest is found on page two along with the widely read column. Neath the Spires' which brings religious notes ond ideas to the reader. Various columnists try their hands at being funny or informative in these pages. The sports pages follow; and here the fates and for- tunes of Villanovo's athletic organizations ore chorted by experienced sports writers. Football, track, bosketboll. baseball, golf and all intramural sports ore given com- plete and accurate coverage. The sports editor pens on optimistic column every week.

LYNX The year 1948 brought about several changes to Villanova. One of these set a new goal toward literary achievement as the quarterly. Lynx, became a reality. The need for an outlet of student literary expression, though felt through the war years, did not materialize during those troubled times. It was a result of meticulous planning and inspiring support which urged Rev. John J. McShea. O.S.A.. faculty member of the English Depart- ment. to undertake the sponsorship of such a venture. Father McShea is one of the teachers in the field of English literature and contemporary writers. His humor, subtle analogies, and criticisms have been so effective that he has helped produce a magazine which has al- ready attained inter-collegiate fame in its brief period of existence. The first editor, Paul O'Brien, was no per- functory image in his important position. He helped build the foundation of a quarterly which shall survive any impediments it may encounter. The present editor, John Murphy, has carried on the endeavor toward liter- ary perfection os evidenced by his ability to keep this publication up with the best of writing standards. The authoritive expositions on Evelyn Waugh by John Stanley, feature articles by George Guido, and capti- vating poetry of the Poetry group, with the aid of the assistant editors Joseph Daley. George Fieo and Frank Pitocchelli. have established for Lynx its niche in the literory life of Villanova. Ed Krieg business manager of the Lynx and president of the Junior clou discusses one of the articles with Editor John Murphy prior to publication. Standing in the rear are Fother McShea, Lynx moderator, John Stanley, and Frank Pitocchelli, assistant editors. Seoted on the arm of the chair, Joseph Daley, assistant editor appears to be in complete agreement with the editor. Not in the above picture but invaluable to the quarterly in hit capacity as art editor is Eamon Walsh. 178 THE VILLA NOVA ENGINEER Staff of the Villanovo Engineer from Uft looted: Frank MeGee- hon, Joieph 0.

In 1935 it was accepted into the Association of Engineering College Magazines. This affiliation was ended in 1944 when difficulties en- countered during the accelerated scholastic programs prevented continued publication. Last year the war- shelved Villanovo Engineer wos revived to conform with a post-war collegiate readjustment. This edition repre- sented an initial attempt by a novice staff to propagate its heritage. The articles included in the revived edition were presented under two distinct classifications. The j first dealt with articles of a semi-technical nature and included items of mutual interest to students of the four major fields of engineering at Villanovo. The second classification balanced the content with feature articles on Campus Activities. Collegiate World, and Faculty personalities of the Engineering Department. Coopera- tion of the faculty and large engineering concerns pooled with student endeavor, helped make the revival issue a success. m 1ILLI.L lll HALL Above it the donling tcene which would hove greeted o latecomer ot the Belle Air Boll. The large and jolly snowman welcomes all with open arms as the couples glide gracefully olong to the strains of the orchestra's smooth rendition of My Darling, My Darling . Since it it the last dance sponsored by the graduating class, the Ball it traditionally the principal social event of the year. It always provides many pleasant memories for the young mon about to embork on his career and a challenge to the ingenuity of the undergraduate to duplicate its success. The tempo increases and the happy couples show their dexterity with the latest dance steps.

INFORMAL RANCES Numerous informol dances brightened the college's social calendar during the post year, besides the tradi- tionally famous Sophomore Cotillion, the Interfrat Boll, and the Blazer Ball. Probably the most novel of the new fixtures on the dance calendar was the Sunday afternoon tea dance, sponsored by the Turf and Tinsel Club, the fun loving, socially ambitious Thespian Society on the campus. All the notion’s top dance bonds, by recordings, provided music for this social whirl. This affair was a dateless one and attracted a large gathering of co-eds of nearby colleges, synthetic and genuine. The informol spirit also prevailed during the holidays of the year as dances, sponsored by the Student Coun- cil. were held on George Washington’s birthday and Saint Patrick's day. Music ot all these informal affairs, except the Sunday afternoon tea dances, was provided by the fine Villa- nova College dance band under the leadership of Red Murphy. The trend at Villonova in recent years has been to have more and better informal dances, and this year the trend certainly justified itself.

The majority of the footboll team reside� here but they fail to place a close second even though their coach is one of the judges. The presentation of the William M. Connelly oword was resumed in 1947 following a lapse of eight years. The primary purpose of this award is to arouse competi- tion among the residence halls prior to the final Villa- nova clash with Georgetown University. The Connelly Award has become a traditional annual presentation. The impartial manner in which a winning holl is chosen is accomplished by having judges who are in no way connected with the dormitories review them on the night preceding the game. Careful observation and just consideration are given each decorated edifice which must adhere to the specified requirements in order that no ill feelings will arise. The 1946 award was shored by Fedigan Holl and De- lurey and this past year Delurey Hall came in first with Fedigan Hall judged to be the alternate Holl displaying the most worthy pre-game decorations. Fedigan Holl employed the Grinding Machine theme which placed this hall in second ploce. These picturos con b« taken as a criterion of the competitive spirit now existing here at Yillonovo and no doubt will tend to become keener next year. One item is certain and that is Fedigan Holl will not accept anything but the nomination of the best dec- Good Counsel Holl.

FOOTBALL- THE VILLANUVA ELEVEN COMES THROUGH AGAIN With the toughest schedule ever to face a Villanova football squad in sight, Coach Jordan Olivar gathered his 28 veterans from the 1947 season with a contingent of Freshman and pointed for a victorious 1948 cam- paign. The previous year the Wildcats hod captured 6 victories, gained a tie os against two losses in the regu- lor season: were outfought in the inaugural Great Lakes Bowl gome at Cleveland by a strong Kentucky eleven. All eyes had their sights set on an undefeated season for '48. A well balanced team with an overabundance of re- serve strength gave reason for the optimism which gripped the campus. The forward wall would be braced by a pair of the finest ends in the country. Ed Berrang and Dan Brown. The tackle slots seemed certain to pro- vide much of the forward wall’s strength as did the guard positions. At center, Milt Ko'marnicki. Syl Yanelli and Johnny Witch could be counted upon. In the backfield there were seasoned men, capable of performing superbly on the turf. Coach Oliver, busily prepared his charges for the stern tests which were to be faced, capably assisted by Jerry Neri. chief scout and backfield coach. John McKenna, line coach, and Art Roimo the other backfield coach. The Cats climaxed a successful campaign by being invited to participate in the third onnuol Harbor Bowl tilt against a great Nevada team. Aside from the hon- ors bestowed upon the team, several individuals received nation wide acclaim. Berrang was chosen on numerous All East teams and Bob Polidor and Lou Ferry wore honorably mentioned on All American teams. At the close of the season Coach Olivar accepted a lucrative offer from Loyola University of Los Angeles and along with assistant coach Neri. left the Main Line campus and an envious record.

The 1948 log was 7 wins. 2 defeots and a tie. with the two losses being suffered at the hands of Army and Bos- ton College with Kentucky coming from behind to earn a tie with the Wildcats. TEXAS A. M. Before 40.000 fans, the Villanova football team opened its 54th consecutive season against a strong Texas A. M. squad, and successfully defeated the Aggies. 34-14. Paced by diminutive quarterback Bill Doherty, and hard charging Ralph Pasquariello. 225 pound fullback, the minions of Coach Jordon Olivor were forced to come from behind. The visitors had scored on a sensational pass interception by end Ray Whitaker in the opening minutes of play. In the unfamiliar background of tho University of Pennsylvania's Franklin Field, the 1948 odition of the Villanova football team trot from the locker room onto tbe field for the opening game of the most successful teaton in over a decade. The curtain-raiser, played against a strong Texas A. M. eleven, gove notice of things to come os the Wildcats trounced the Aggies, 34-13. Shown here ore Following the score, the Mainliners came back strong with a sustained drive only to be halted on the Aggies 13 yard line. With 3 minutes remaining in the second period the tide turned. Tackle Vince O'Sullivan re- covered a Texas fumble on the Aggie 20. From this point Bob Polidor scampered 13 yards, and two tries later Pas- quariello tallied the first touchdown for the 1948 edition of the Wildcats. In the second half the Cats came back with a real scoring barrage. Following Doherty's punt return to the Aggie 40. Polidor and Joe Rogers shored ball toting assignments to bring the pigskin to the 5. From this point Pasquariello plunged over for his second score. Tom Clovin's second conversion was as good as his first and the Cats led 14-7. The next Villonova score came when Doherty, working masterfully from the T. handed the ball to Pasquari- ello who scampered 25 yards to score standing up. In the final stanza. Andy Gordon took over the the men who ployed stondout roles during the campaign: Georg Pavolko (68), John Sandusky (78), Mik Dzomko (55). Ed Ber- rang (81), Ed Lonigan (64), Jo Rog r« (20).

John Bogan snared a pair of Gordon aeriols in succession for another six pointer. In the waning moments of the fray. Gordon tossed a screen pass to Rogers on the Aggie 20. The play, which had considerable success throughout the campaign, accounted for the final Villanova score of the afternoon. ARMY AND DUQUESNE In the next two weeks of the still young seoson, the Wildcats were to suffer o bitter defeat and enjoy the taste of victory. The setback come at- the hands of a sur- prisingly strong U. S. Military Academy eleven by a 28-0 score. The following Saturday the Cats bounced back and ran roughshod over Duquesne University 46-0. The Blue-White, confident of overcoming the Cadets, traveled up the Hudson for the last time of the current series only to be outclassed by the men of Coach Earl Red Blaik. The Black Knights, storting their 25th season in Michie Stadium, passed, skirted the ends, and crushed the Villa- nova line to gain the victory over the Cats. Smooth working Arnold Galiffo. proved masterful os the field general of the Cadets from his quarterback position. Winfield Scott. Bobby Jack Stuart, and Jim Cain, all swiveled hipped halfbacks, gained valuable yardage for the Army, and Don Foldberg proved himself to be another of the famous pass-catching Foldbergs. The Cats showed promise on only two occasions, when in the shadow of their own goal line they held the onrushing Cadets from scoring. Offensively, however, the Mainliners were stymied all afternoon. In the Duquesne game the victory was never in doubt. The contest played before 10.000 sweltering fans, was the only one played on the campus stadium all season. The scoring parade which started late in the first period, was led by Joe Rogers and Olympic runner George Guide, who each tallied twice, and Bill Doherty, Ralph Posquariello, and Pete D'Alonzo, with one six pointer apiece. The hapless Dukes showed some promise in the early Defensively, Billy Doherty (13) had no peer and he demonstrate! it here by knocking Army's Bobby Stuart (45) out of bounds in the early moments of the West Point—Villanova game. The Cots lost to the Black Knights of the Hudson for the 5th straight year, 2B-0. Anyone who would like to know how it feels to be caught in a human scissors should ask this Cadet runner. After being hit from one side by mammoth Johnny Sandusky. 260 lb. tackle, and from the opposite side by 210 lb. Ed Berrang (81). he could well supply the answer. With more than 45.000 shirt sleeved fans watching the Mainliners in their 1948 debut, the Aggie team gave account of themselves oil afternoon.

Doherty ran a Duquesne punt 49 yards for the first score of the afternoon. From then on it was easy. The Cats rallied almost at will, and ot the end of the day the Main Liners hod chalked up their second win in three outings. MIAMI AND BOSTON COLLEGE In their next two engagements the Villanova eleven again found both victory and defeat. Success was found in the teams first trip to the South when they defeated Miami University 19-10, before a record breaking crowd of 42.827 in Miami’s famed Orange Bowl. How- ever their journey to the great Northeast ended on a sad note as the Eagles of Boston College defeoted the Wildcats, 20-13, in one of the most spirited battles ever waged in Beantown. Getting off to a poor start ot Miami, the Cots were held scoreless for 44 minutes by Andy Gustaffson's eleven. During this time the Hurricanes jumped to a 10-0 lead by virtue of a recovered Villanova fumble which turned into a Miami touchdown, and a field goal by Harry Ghoul. The turning point in the battle came late in the third stanza when Al Schmid intercepted a Miami pass and returned it to the Villanova 40. Bill Doherty passed and Pete D'Alonzo ran the ball to the Miami 30. Then Doherty flipped a pitchout to Bob Polidor who outran the defenders for the first Cat scoro. Ralph Posquoriello then culminated a 60 yard sustained drive by crushing his way into the end zone from 2 yards out. Posquoriello was the main figure in setting up the final Villanova score. Big Ralph brought the boll within the shadows of the Miami goal posts with a brilliant 45 yard run and two plays later D'Alonzo went over for the tolly. In the fierce encounter ot Boston the Wildcats were outscored but never outfought. For the more than 30.000 onlookers the thrills were provided by the sen- sational ploy of little Billy Doherty.

The Eagles came back strong after the intermission and scored once in the third. DETROIT From Boston, the Wildcats” headed westward where they met and defeated a strong Detroit Univer- sity eleven by a 27-6 score. As they had on two previous occasions, the Villanova squad came from behind to secure the victory. Hustling throughout, the much traveled Main Liners surprised the capacity crowd of almost 25,000 in gaining this upset win over the highly touted Motor City footballers. Bob Polidor, Pete D'Alonzo, Johnny Geppi and Tom Clavin were the point makers in the fray ond after the Titans' Wally Gruber raced 97 yards from scrimmage to score for the homesters, the parade of Villanova touchdowns began. The first 'Cats tally came in the second period as the result of some fine quarterbacking on the part of Andy Gordon. With fourth down and five on the Detroit 33, Gordon flipped a screen pass to Polidor who went all the way with a neat bit of running. The ploy completely befuddled the Titan line which hod rushed through to stop the passer. Two minutes later, Steve Romanik, the defensive demon, intercepted a Detroit pass and ran it back to the Titan 20. Three ploys later Bill Doherty handed the ball to D'Alonzo who crushed his way into the end zone. Clavin made his second conversion and the 'Cots led 14-6. Geppi aided the Villanova cause when he sprinted 42 yards to climax an 83 yard sustained drive. Early in the fourth period Clavin put the finishing touches to the victory by scoring on an II yard jaunt through the center of the Detroit line. KENTUCKY Deep in the heart of the blue grass country the Wildcats” met a strong Kentucky eleven, ond with the aid of a football oddity and a do-or-die disposition the Kentuckians were able to tie the Mainliners, 13-13. In the waning moments of the gome, Villanova gambled when they tried a rushing play with fourth down ond 2 yards to gain. Following the play, which seemed to have picked up the necessary yardage, the officials called for a measurement. But by picking up the ball and carrying it to the sticks, instead of using the orthodox manner of bringing in the sticks, footboll PASQUAHIELLO HUNS WILII IN GAME III 'I'III!iEII IIIIU I!

The southerners come back strong in the third period ond Bill Boiler scored from the I foot line on a handoff from Blonda. Although the 'Cats dominated most of the play from then on. the stick-moving episode be- came the deciding factor of the day. GEORGETOWN In the annual Game of the Year against George- town University, aided by the pre-game pep rallies and student spirit, the Villanova eleven emerged victorious 36-7. Nearly 17.000 fans watched big Ralph Posqua- riello score three six pointers for the second time of the season. The 225 pound fullback, who had been hampered by injuries received in the Army game, crossed the double line once in the first period and twice in the second. On his final thrust Pasky thrilled the gathering with a 50 yard masterpiece. Between his final two scores, the Wildcats tollied a safety when Elmer Rabo, G'town tailback, fumbled in the end zone and guard Paul Winermeyer fell on the pigskin. Tom Clavin surprised the onlookers by heaving a 21 yard pass to Ed Berrang for the fourth Cot T. D. Andy Gordon scored the final marker on a I yard plunge after Pasquariello had crushed his way from the visitors' 13.

Definitely outclassed in the firs! 30 minutes by the Dons, the Cats, paced by game captain Andy Gordon, threw passes all over the field in the third period to tie the score 13-all. Coach Jordan Oliver's boys then gave the visitors and the spectators a taste of the never-say- die type of gome which had earned them a 21-19 de- cision against this some San Francisco team the year before out on the Coast. Before the ruins had settled, big Ralph Posquoriello had crossed the goal line twice, while Pete D'Alonzo, Mickey Frinzi, and John Sheehan each invaded the end zone once. NORTH CAROLINA STATE One week later the Wildcats ended their most suc- cessful season in the history of the school by trouncing the fiery Wolfpock of North Carolina State, 21-7 at Raleigh, N. C. When the final whistle hod sounded, the Cats had amassed the greatest offensive totals ever recorded by a Wildcat football aggregation. It took the Moinliners only six minutes of the first per- iod to tally their initial six pointer as Ralph Posquoriello crashed the center of the State line from six yards out. The Southerners, one of the top ranking defensive teams in the nation, holted the Cat chargers throughout the remainder of the stanza, and early in the second period began to drive into Villanova territory. A sustained drive enabled the Pack to tie the count by virtue of a pass from Jim Mooney to Bill Thompson, and Ralph Fie- ler's conversion. The third period saw the Olivormen come back with another counter which was enough to sew up the bitterly fought contest. This tally was scored through the efforts of Bob Polidor, playing his last regular season game along with eleven other seniors, who scampered 50 yards on a brilliant exhibition of broken field running. Johnny Geppi and Joe Rogers set up the final score with runs of 15 and 18 yards. At the half-woy mark in this frame. Polidor registered his second score of the afternoon and Tom Clavin coverted his third successive extra point to earn for the Cats their eighth victory in ten starts. NEVADA With the conclusion of the regular season, all eyes watched the tabloids for news of Villanova receiving a bid to one of the many bowl games on New Year's day. At long lost, word came that the Wildcats were to meet the great University of Nevada Wolfpack. in the third annual Harbor Bowl qame at San Dieqo, Calif. The Cots, who had been impressive on their last trip to the coast a year ago when they had defeated San Francisco, did themselves justice by defeating the Pack, 27-7. The team, however, ran into more trouble when they encountered a severe snowstorm, than they had from Joe Sheeketeski's men. Along with numerous other students who were also returning to their various schools, the Cots were snowbound in Green River, Wyoming and did not return until the 10th of January. Prior to the game, there was much doubt os to whether the Moinliners would bo able to stop the pass- ing attack of All American Stan Heath. At the end of the first period, all doubt was removed as the hard charging Villanova line continually smothered the oce Nevada aeriolist who had set a new all time collegiate passing mark. In the victory, every member of the Villanova travel- ing squad ployed, but for eleven graduating seniors, it was the lost time they would play while wearing the Blue-White. As we found out some time later, it was to be the last time Coach Jordan Oliver would be at the helm of the Villanova football proceedings.

It was this team spirit and team ploy which Coach Severance had instilled into his players that brought the Villonovo Wildcats to New York for the N. C. A. A. Eastern regional playoffs. The usually slow starting Wildcats got off to a fast stort this season with on impressive 71-54 win over Loy- ola of Baltimore.

The first week of the New Year was a busy one for the Wildcats. Storting 1949 off on the right foot. Villa- nova romped over previously unbeaten Rutgers Univer- sity 78-61; at one point in the gome with Joe Hannan scoring 5 consecutive set shots, the Wildcats ran up a 23 point string before Rutgers could finally score.

Another 1,000 spectators were turned away at the door due to space conditions. No sooner had the Cots edged N.C.S. than they were named to the 8th spot in the country by the Associated Press' weekly poll.

Over 5000 fans turned out for the gome which set a new field house attendance record. Starting in place of the injured Joe Hannan, Shy Raikon (12) played brilliantly against Georgetown. Here the chunky guard gets off an underhand drive-in shot typical of the aggressive game which Raiken ploys. Princeton could offer nothing to stop the fading one- handed jump hot of Paul Arizin. Despite the foct that he fouled out eorly in the second half, Villanovo's All American center scored 19 points. The most dependable of Villanovo's scanty reserve strength, this season was Shy Roiken. Here the chunky Junior scores after taking a pass from Joe Hannan who is just behind North Carolina State's Jim Cartier (83).

On the following night, the Wildcats barely managed to stave off a desperate last minute rally by Manhattan before a partisan crowd of 8.000 spectators at the 169 Regiment Armory in New York. A missed foul by Bryne in the lost throe seconds spelled the difference. Georgetown fell next. 64-49 as the Cats rode their winning streak to 13 straight games. Only Hamline, Western Kentucky and Minnesota were left among the major unbeaten teams in the notion. The following week, both Western Kentucky and Minnesota lost, and as the Cots entrained for Pittsburgh, they had one of the two unblemished records in the country and were ranked 7th nationally. But disaster struck in the mid-west. A 65-49 shellack- ing by Duquesne, followed by a 75-43 trimming at the hands of towering Loyola of Chicago, wrecked hopes the Cots hod for an unbeaten season.

After a month of indoor and outdoor conditioning, the Wildcats opened the season on a cold blustery after- noon against the visiting Princeton Tigers. Games with Dartmouth and Harvard had already been rained out. The Cats got off to a quick 6-0 lead in the first inning against Princeton and were never headed as they won 15-6. Shy Raiken had the honor of blasting the first Villanovo home run of the season, a 375 ft. 8th inning smash that cleared the left centerfield fence. Villanovo then met Georgetown. Navy, and Maryland on a 4 day southern swing. Stan Chojnacki started against the Hoyas but because of a sore arm had to bo relieved in the 1st inning by Jigger Donahue.

Without the services of Donohue in the early weeks of the seoson. the Wild- cats pitching staff would have been in a sod plight. When Stan Chojnacki was forced to the sidelines with a sore arm. Donohue assumed the extra duties and pitched 5 of the first eight games ployed. Before a crowd of 3.000. the Philadelphia Phillios tagged the Cots with a 5-3 setback for the 3rd loss of the seoson. Both Bobby Green and Al Litwa drew roves from the Phillies cooching staff. Green for his pitching, ond Litwa for his fine defensive work in centerfield. Green might easily hove pitched a one run game if his mates, especially the infield, hod held up behind him. but three costly errors at cruciol moments gave the Phils the boll game. Ploying in a near gale ot West Point. Army scored a 6-4 upset victory over Villonova as the Cadets blasted 5 extra base blows—the real story of the gome was in the fact that the Wildcats left 13 men stranded. Return- ing home the Cats bounced back from their A -my loss, to down both Pennsylvania and Seton Hall before losing to Fordham by an 8-3 count. Welcome news was in store for the Wildcats os they engaged Lehigh. For the first time in over a month. Stan Chojnacki returned to the mound to hurl a 5 hit. 8-1 victory over Lehigh. Bobby Green turned in a stellar per- formance on the following afternoon as he limited Penn State to 2 scratch singles in winning 3-1. Following the Penn State win, the Cats began a seven game road trip that took them north to Boston ond south to Baltimore. The northern trip got off to a dis- appointing start as the Wildcats lost to both Rutgers and Boston College. The long awaited contest with Holy Cross was rained out. The Wienertmen then went on to close the season with 4 straight wins beating Siena. Wil- liams, Loyola, and Penn. As expected. Al Litwa led the Cats in the hitting de- partment with 6 home runs and an astronomical .496 average at the plate. Larry Aigledinger proved to be the biggest surprise of tho year os he boosted his aver- age from mediocre .250 in 1947 to a healthy .387. Although the record for the season was a commend- able 12 and 7, the seoson os a whole was a little dis- appointing in face of the expectations. On o beautifully executed pick-off play, Charley Comerford, lanky l� t bosemon, waits to tag out Penn's Jerry McCarthy who begins to start his slide. Pitchor Jigger Donahue, who started the play looks on from the mound. Even with his great speed, Larry Aigledinger couldn't beat out this infield grounder. Aigledinger had a banner season lost year hitting a brisk .396. an improvement of over 100 points over his previous best mark. ™........rtrr£ ,■ - -■ — —6 c..,. J. Holm , ■ «'� “• '• ,. Furling '. T.

TRACK- VILL INUVA PLACES GUIU l, BOSS IN OLYMPICS As the 1948 outdoor season come to o close, the eyes of the track world shifted from the cinder paths of the United States to the XIV Olympiad at London. England. And os the track enthusiast glanced through the Olym- pic program he sow the name of Villonova's two contri- butions to the United 'States Olympic Team. Browing Ross and George Guido. Before either runner could be on the Olympic team it wos necessary that he qualify in the National Collegiate Meet, the Notional A. A. U. and finally the Olympic tryouts. Both boys came through the tryouts with the proverbial flying colors and when the Olympic team was formed. George Guido was running the 400 meter and Browning Ross was on the 3000 meter steeplechase squad. In the Olympic gomes at Empire Stadium in Wembly. London, competing against the greatest runners in the world. George placed sixth and Brownie seventh. After the games. Ross and Guida made a tour of Europe and ran in several post-Olympic meets in which they both took more than their share of medals. The fine sportsmanship and performances of both Guida and Ross in the Olympic tryouts, in the games themselves, and in the post-Olympic contests are a shining tribute to themselves, their school, their country and their coach, Jim Elliot. The cross-country season couldeasily be summed up in a few words, namely; Ross wins, Thompson right be- hind, team loses.

MEDLEY TITLE In the Olympic games at Empire Stadium in Wembly, London, competing against the greatest runners in the world, George placed sixth and Brownie seventh. After the gomes. Ross and Guido made a tour of Europe and ran in several post-Olympic meets in which they both took more than their share of medals. The fine sportsmanship and performances of both Guido and Ross in the Olympic tryouts, in the games themselves, and in the post-Olympic contests are a shining tribute to themselves, their school, their country and their coach, Jim Elliot. The cross-country season couldeosily be summed up in a few words, namely: Ross wins, Thompson right be- hind. team loses. As far os a summary gees, the Cots lost duol meets to N. Y. U.. Seton Hall, Army: placed second in o tri- angular meet with Notre Dame and Navy, with Brown- ing Ross winning every meet and with George Thompson tying or close behind. In the IC-4A championships at Van Cortlandt Park. Ross placed third behind Bob Block of Rhode Island and Horace Ashenfelter of Penn Stote. Besides Ross and Thompson, the team wos composed of Charlie McKee. Jim McGehrin. Tom Conboy. Jim Mc- Kenna, ond Jock Steele. The 1949 indoor season was marked by two outstand- ing races by Wildcat runners: George Guido's record breaking 56.9 for the Buermeyer 500 in the NYAC meet and the sprint medley's 1:55.5 clocking in the Notional A. A. U. meet. In breaking the world's record for the 500, Guido ran different from his usuual form and went all-out oil the way. This race and George's four other wins placed him as the leading middle-distance runner in the country. The A. A. U. sprint medley was another beautiful race with the team of Jim McKenna. Tom Irish, Joe Mc- Creary. and Jack Holmes taking the title from the New York Pioneer Club in just four seconds short of the world's record. McKenna hit a blistering 49.5 for the quarter, passed the stick to Tom Irish who increased the lead in the 100. From there Jock Holmes took the baton and ran a tremendous 220. Anchor mon for the team was Joe McCreary who hit the tope 12 yards ahead of the Pioneer Club. , «h ' U0 .(offno .a � h rd G«o 9 600 Gord ----------------------------- « � lor V.Honovo. ,up th'0� ah h, V'°r °9oinit 0° , th, 0;, McO t� dd,d r, ' 'onovo’t Him 9 for th, on,o ond proe� ''e.

For the student body as a whole, it presents football at its truest—simple and pure, just os the founders of the game had intended it. For the opportunities it offers to college men. physic- ally unable to meet the requirements of varsity football, it is without parallel os a means of fostering intercol- legiate competition. For the spectator, it offers a pleasant compromise be- tween the wide open intramural touch football gome and the automatic perfection of vorsity competition. Because 150 lb. football is looked upon so highly at Villonova. it was with no small remorse that the students followed the Kittens through their unvictorious five game schedule. For a team which had occupied second place in the Eastern Intercollegiate Lightweight League lost seoson. the fall to tho League's cellar was disheartening. The reasons for the astonishing change in perform- ance wero many. The Kittens were under the hands of a new coach this season. James L. Miller. Under Coach Miller. Villonova abandoned the smooth functioning T formation which they had used tho previous season and in its stead, had adopted the single wing. This was a wise move even in the face of the results when you con- sider the difficulties of orientating the newcomers—and there were many—to the intricacies of the T formation. Although graduation losses were few. several key men were missed. Probably the most discouraging loss was that of Captain Bob Fitzmeyer. all league center for two consecutive seasons ond the team's most valuable ployer. Fitzmeyer had been the backbone of the squad, especially on defense and with him out of the lineup with injuries, the Kittens s.eemed hopelessly lost. In the seasons opener against Princeton. Villonova was definitely outclassed as they lost 42-0 on the Tiger's home field. Except for one drive that penetrated to the Princeton 20 yard line, the Blue ond White never threatened. It was in this game that Fitzmeyer was injurod. Two weeks later, playing their first game of the season at home against Navy, the Kittens were trounced again, this time by a 40-0 count. Except for two untimely fum- bles. the outcome of the game might hove been very different. Twice in the opening moments, the Kittens fumbled inside Navy's 5 yard line. Following the defeat at tho hands of Navy, Villonova journeyed to New Brunswick in hopes of gaining their first win of the season, but again they were denied as the Rutger's I50's rolled to a 39-0 victory. Although the Cots didn't win against Cornell when the two teams met at Goodreau Stadium, they gained some solace in the fact that they scored their first touchdown of the seoson. Cornell in winning. 34-7. cinched second place in the 150 league. November 19th was both a happy and sad day for the Kittens for that day marked the end of their most dismal season. They had reason to be happy in that at last the season was over. They also had cause to be sad because they closed out the season that day on the short end of a 52-0 count, their worst defeat of the sea- son . . . and from Penn. Halfback Bill Leighton manages to get off a pass over the out- stretched arms of a Rutgers University lineman. Leighton, a junior, because of the absence of the freshmen rule, has been a starting holfbaek for the past three seasons. Captain Bob Fitzmeyer pulls down a Navy ballcarrier from bohind shortly bofore he was injured. The moinstoy of the Wildcat de- fense. Fitzmeyer’s loss was sorely felt by the team. ...... u- c-« o . fZ ______hem. court.. pedals do'W GOLF- RETURNS TO VILLANOVA With this orfoy of fin. golfers representing Villonovo. the Wildcots could compete on on even basis with the best in collegiate golf. Sidelined during the wor, the ancient sport underwent a strong revival lost year mainly due to the impetus afforded it by Bob Powers, ploying manager of the team.

AFTER SIX YEARS Last spring, golf returned to Villanova on an inter- collegiate scole after being shelved for six years. After starting slow, the linksmen found themselves in mid- season and wound up their campaign with three straight wins after dropping their first four matches. The early losses con bo attributed to a lack of experience which means so much in golf. Since no coach could be obtained, a student member of the team. Boot Powers, took over the reigns of Mana- ger-Coach and handled them very capably. The Main Line Course in Radnor, less than a mile from the school was selected as the home course. Standing out head and shoulders above the other members of the team was Don Weiland. .a sophomore engineer. Weiland. champion of the Phoenixville Coun- try Club, demonstrated his ability for the first time in the opening meet with Georgetown. Shooting a 70 which is por for the course, he garnered Villonovos only points as the Hoyos won 7 to 2. At the time, it was the sixth match for the Hoyas while only Weiland for Villo- nova had any real experience. The performance of the Wildcats ploying on their home course was creditable considering th$ir inexperience. In the second match, the Lynx linksmen traveled down the line to the Merion C. C. West Course whfere they met a Haverford College six. The motchos were close all the way. but the final tabulations showed the Fords out front. 5 to 4. Next. Villanova met a really tough Seton Hall sextet and lost 9-0. The Setonians. playing on their home course in South Orange, were very hot thot day with four of their six team members breaking 80. Little Rider College of Trenton provided Villanova with their next competition. They met the ‘Cots on the Main Line Course and trounced them 6 to 3. Villonovo s points were accounted for by Weiland and Powers, the lotter winning 5 and 4 and the former I up. Then come the upset of the seoson. The linksmen met Loyola of Baltimore, winners of the Moson-Dixon Confer- ence title who had o string of five straight. The Wildcats severely beat them by the score of 8' 2 to • 2- John Troyer was low man for Villanova with a 74.. All mem- bers of the team won their matches except Weiland who ended up tied with his man at the end of 18 holes. Bill Huber won 3 and 2 and Gus Murry took his match 3 and I. It was the turning point of the season and a great victory for the ’Cats. An old rivalry was renewed when Villanova met La- Salle of Philadelphia at the Whitemarsh C. C. Again the Wildcat linksmen went into the match os underdogs but come out on top 5 2 to 3 2. Weiland shot on 81 but lost 2 and I. Johnny Troyer won his match 2 and I. while Gus Murry shot an even 80 and won 3 ond 2. In the final match of the seoson. the ’Cats won hand- ily over Drexel Tech by the score of 7 to 2. This spring o bigger ond better schedule was ar- ranged‘due to the meritorious efforts of these pioneers who brought golf back to Villanova. Congratulations ore in order to the members of the team: Don Weiland. Bill Huber. John Troyer. Joe Hohenlightner. Gus Murry. Boot Powers, and George Becker. Next seoson should find the ’Cats with a championship teom. 21; FBESHMAN BASKETBALL Freshmon Bosketboll presents os interesting on evolu- tion os con be found anywhere. It gives the fan on op- portunity to witness the metamorphosis of o group of high school stars from a highly individualistic squad into a closely knit team. That sentence sums up the story of the Villonova frosh team. Under the capable direction of former Villa- nova great. Robert Major McDonnell, a row bunch of high school specialists were transformed into a team that Villonova was proud to coll her own. Coach McDonnell hod more than his shore of set shot artists, dribbling forwards and crowd pleasing scorers upon which to experiment, and as the seoson's record of 10 wins against 2 losses shows, McDonnell's experiments proved fruitful. Opening with o lopsided 86-38 win over Loyolo. the Villonova yearlings went on to swoop their next seven games defeating Temple Prep. 77-40. Brown Prep. 60-56. Rutgers Frosh. 64-58. Columbia Institute. 57-40. Intra- mural All Stars. 63-43. Naval Air Material Center. 65- 23. and the Fort Dix Reserves. 100-57, before succumb- ing to Princeton by a 65-54 count. The Wildcats bounced right back from their first defeat of the season humbling the Muhlenberg Freshmen. 93-51. The following week at South Orange, the Wildcats lost their second game of the year as they were trounced by Seton Hall 58-45. But the Cats avenged that defeat when the two teams met again at Villonova. downing the Setonians for their 10th win of the campaign. Th Ff � hman Botkofboll Squad: left to right: J. Grigg . B.

If � For several years, it has been the ambition of many Villanova students to bring back intercollegiate swim- ming to Villanova College. In the past few years, much has been said but little has been done in the way of re- viving the pre-wor aquotic sport. Finally, a group of students formed a swmming club in hopes that this would serve as on incentive for the return of a varsity team. With well over 100 members participating in its activi- ties. the swimming club seems well on the way towards accomplishing its purpose. Swimming meets with various halls and non-resident students participating, were scheduled weekly .along with Water Polo matches for those with brawn and endurance. Constructively, swimming, diving, ond sonior life sav- ing courses were conducted by members of the club. After Father Thomas Burke was named moderator of the club, elections were held. Ed Connolly was chosen Presi- dent. Joe O'Brien, treasurer., and Bill Ellrich. secretary. At the end of the season, a club-wide swimming meet was held with the winner of each individual event re- ceiving o medal. Medals were also distributed to those members who had compiled the highest number of com- posite points in all the meets held throughout the yeor. It seems evident that Villonova's first swimming club is only a stepping stone to greater years of intercollegiate competition ahead. d 'on,trol h J found.,, of . ,w m!ng e o £C‘0l,y- bock,„el yon;tot!on of e '■« WhoriL '! 9'V!n9 ' � . fo ‘P0 ‘®'“ c°u„.,. o giv. jun!or be°inn°' . d ‘•' ‘or ;, AfUrnoon � -m� '- 9 «• W ' V I n-ly « — — was OHO -.r hatioM or� comp� � - polo eompotHfo MENDEL HALL FIRST ROW Fr.

Intramural Basketball has always been the most popular and most actively participated in sport on campus. Since the end of the war. the intromural basketball season has been stretching longer and longer until this season. Fr. John Dunne. Moderator of Intramural Activities, issued o schedule which started in October and ended in April. Each hall is represented in the league; Fedigan. Aus- tin, Alumni. Barracks I and 4. Barracks 2 and 3. Dorns, Good Counsel and Mendel. Until the post-war era. teams representing the doy hops olso competed, but with the complexity of the schedules, afternoon games were ruled out except on a very limited basis and the league gomes were confined to teams of resident students. The league has always been noted for its well matched, fast moving games and this season proved no exception. Fr. McLaughlin's Alumni club composed of 3 league All Stars (Billy Barry, Hoi Diot, and Francis Buckets ’ Buckley) were picked as the favorites to cop the league os the season started in October. The backers of Alumni had plenty to cheer about as their team swept through the First half competition winning 8 straight games. Austin Hall, whom Alumni had beaten in the Hal Diot and Bob Oelx of Alumni, in light jerseys, bottle for possession of a rebound with Fedigon'� Brennan (9).

The two Barracks teams wound up in a tie for the third position both with identical records. Barracks 2 and 3 led by Joe Seaman, whose 96 points put him second in the scoring parade, lost only to Alumni. Austin and the Dorns, while Borrocks I and 4 proved to be the dork horse of the league. After dropping their first threo gomes to Austin. Barracks 2 and 3. and Alumni. Fr. Gal- lagher's fast breoking quintet went on to win the re- mainder of their games mainly through the efforts of the league's leading scorer. Tom Flynn, whose even 100 points enables him to grab the league s individual scoring honor. The rest of the teams in the league all finished far off the pace, each with less than a .500 average. Fedigon. the tallest team in the league, won 3 while losing 4. Father Dunne’s Dorns who had won the first half crown the previous season, paced by League All Star Al O’Brien, also had the some 3-4 record. With the start of the Spring semester, the second half got under way again with a bang. The explosion came in the form of on upset, with Father Kemme's Aus- tin team shattering Alumni’s dream of an undefeated season. The gome was a thriller throughout with Austin All bonds foody for lk( mod scromble when the ball eomci down in a league gome between the Dormitory team and Mendel Hall.

The seosons best feature was the improved scheduling introduced by the Intramural committee of Bill Klucsarits.
