Villanova University - Belle Air Yearbook (Villanova, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 260 of the 1954 volume:

... We shall come to ALMA MATER In our dreams again With a prayer for Villanooa And ci sweet amen. When the twilight shadows gather Out upon the Campus green, When the blue and purple night Comes stealing on the scene ... Fth E IDEA “To open the mind, to correct it, to refine it, to enable it to know, and to digest, master, rule, and use its knowl- edge to give it power over its own fac- ulties is an object of Liberal Education.” Villanova although in its first year as a university has striven to maintain this standard through its 112 years as an educational institution. “It is a seat of wisdom, a light of the’ world, a minister of faith, an Alma Mater of the rising generation. John Henry Newman The Idea of a University V IL L ANOVA UNIVERSITY VILLANOVA PENNSYLVANIA Applying the Mea of A University by John Henry Cardinal Hewrnan A University has the object of training students to fill their respective posts in life better and making them more intelligent, capable, active members of society John Henry Newman The Idea of a University What Js Through the use of quotes on the opening pages and section dividers, we try to show how John Henry Cardinal Newman’s greatest work, “The Idea of a University, applies to Villanova , University. In the four sections of the 1954 Belle Air by means of text and pictures we illustrate the ap- plied principles. JOHN HENRY CARDINAL NEWMAN University? “It is the place to which a thousand schools make contributions; in which the intellect may safely range and speculate, sure to find its equal in some antagonist activity, and its judge in the tribunal of truth. It is a place where inquiry is pushed forward, and discoveries verified and perfected, and rashness rendered in- nocuous, and error exposed, by the col- lision of mind with mind, and knowledge with knowledge. It is the place where the professor becomes eloquent, and is a missionary and a preacher, displaying his science in its most complete and winning form, pouring it forth with the zeal of enthusiasm, and lighting up his own love of it in the breasts of his hearers John Henry Newman The Idea of a University Villanova's founders believed that o trained mind and a critical judgment are of little avail unless controlled by a strong will and directed by a keen moral sense. They have supplied an atmosphere favor- able to the development of a sense of re- sponsibility and upbuilding of character, laying due emphasis on moral and reli- gious agencies. Transmission and Vri USi ' Nl'iV mi no “Mutual education, in a large sense of the word, is one of the great and incessant occupations of human society, carried on partly with set purpose, and partly not. One generation forms another; and the existing generation is ever acting and reacting upon itself in the persons of its individual members. Now, in this process, books, I need scarcely say, are one special instru- ment. John Henry Newman The Idea of a University Throughout our college careers we have been con- nected spiritually with the Mother of God. In our fresh- man year His Holiness Pope Pius XII proclaimed the dogma of the Assumption, and consequently we ac- quired a portrait of Our Lady of Villanova” (at the right). We have also turned in our difficulties to the other Lady of our campus. Our Lady of Good Counsel, patroness of studies. Our devotion to Mary continued through our four years, and we did as Leo XIII advised—“Follow her counsel. We regarded it as significant that the procla- mation of the Marian Year should follow closely the official declaration of our status as a University. As we leave school for our new life, our devotion to Our Lady shall continue to strengthen us. From the Prayer To The Blessed Virgin Mary (Composed by Pope Pius XII—November 21, 1953) “Enraptured by the splendor of your heavenly beauty and impelled by the anxieties of the world, we cast our- selves into your arms, O Immaculate Mother of Jesus and our Mother, Mary, confident of finding in your most loving heart appeasement of our ardent desires and a safe harbor from the tempests which beset us on every side. “Though degraded by our faults and overwhelmed by infinite misery, we admire and praise the peerless rich- ness of the sublime gifts with which God has filled you above every other more creature from the first moment of your conception until the day whereon, after your assumption into Heaven, He crowned you Queen of the universe. “O crystal fountain of faith, bathe our minds with the eternal truths. “O conqueror of evil and death, inspire in us a deep horror of sin which makes the soul detestable to God and a slave of hell. “O well-beloved of God, hear the ardent cry which rises from every heart in this year Dedicated to You. “Receive, O sweet Mother, our humble supplications and, above all, obtain for us that one day, happy with you, we may repeat before your throne that hymn that today is sung on earth around your Altars: “You are all beautiful, O Mary. You are the glory, you are the joy, you are the honor of our people. Amen. MARIAN YEAR Our Cady of Villanova Site of a university “I see a flourishing University, which for a while had to struggle with fortune, but which when its first founders and servants were dead and gone, had successes far exceeding their anxieties.” John Henry Newman The Idea of a University AFTER 10 SUCCESSFUL YEARS as President, during which Villanova's enrollment more than doubled and the school was granted official recognition as a University, Rev. Francis X. N. McGuire, O.S.A., (inset) became head of the new $20,000,000 expansion program. 10 UNIVERSITY HALL is the first manifestation of the now program. It will foature a cafeteria and a dining hall as well as recreation facilities and lounges for Villanovans. University Mall Mendel Mall MENDEL HALL is the nucleus of the Villanova Uni- versity campus. It houses in the upper levels the groator part of the administrative offices, plus the departments of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. In its lower portions arc the Electrical, Civil, and Mechanical Engineering divisions. m THE SOURCE OF ALL INSPIRATION Zke Chapel Zke Monastery A certain softness, a peculiar repose reigns within . .

John Henry Newman The Idea of a University St. Mary's Mall BEARS AN HISTORICAL STAMP SAINT MARY'S HALL and the statue of Saint Augustine are almost as symbolic of the Cath- olic influence ever present on the Villanova Univer- sity campus as is the chapel. Both constantly remind the Villanovan that he is being educated as a Cath- olic gentleman. Saint Mary's Hall is the home of the seminarians during their stay at Villanova. It is a very large, ivy- covered building. The hall, which houses classrooms, a chapel, living quarters, kitchen facilities, and a din- ing room, is almost self-sufficient. After completing their studies here, the seminarians go to Washington, D. C., where they complete their education and are ordained. The statue of Saint Augustine which is located on the main path next to Alumni Hall keeps the Villa- novan ever aware that he is a member of a Catholic institution. At night the statue is illuminated by spot- lights so that it becomes more than just a sculptor’s creation; it becomes a beacon directing our minds and hearts toward God. FATHER DOUGHERTY shakes the hand of Gover- nor Fine of Pennsylvania after signing the bill legal- izing the change of title from College to Uni- versity. THE STUDENT representatives of the Student- Faculty Committee discuss current problems with Very Rev. James A. Donnellon, O.S.A., University President. m “The general principles of any study you may learn by books at home, but the detail, the color, the tone, the air, the life which makes it live in us, you must catch all these from those in which it lives already.” John Henry Newman The Idea of a University MEN WHO GUIDE THE UNIVERSITY Provincial “THE VERY REVEREND JOSEPH M. DOUGHERTY, I O.S.A., is Provincial of the Augustinian Province of Saint Thomas and head of the Hermits of Saint Augustine residing in the Eastern Province of the United States. Father Dougherty was elected to this office in 1950 and was re-elected in 1953. Before his election as Provincial, Father Dougherty was Prior of the Monastery and Professor of Biology. Hoard of Zr us tees THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, of Villanova University is the corporate body legally responsible for the Univer- sity's obligations. The members of the board exercise a general control over the establishment of broad general policies which the University follows, such as those of in- vestment of capital, the founding of scholarship trust funds, and budgetary policies. The Chairman of the Board is ex officio, the Father Provincial. The other members are the President of the University, the Father Prior of the Monastery, the Pro- curator, the Dean of the Commerce and Finance School, and two laymen. The board, unless there is a need for special sessions, holds regular meetings once a month. 22 Very Reverend Joseph M- Dougherty, O.S.J., Ph.D. Provincial......Board of trustees Chairman Top Row: Rev.

DONNELLON, O.S.A., was appointed to the Presidency of Villanova University on February 3, 1954. He succeeded the Very Rev. Francis X. N. McGuire, O.S.A., who had served as President for ten years, and who had the honor of being the first University President. Now in his twentieth year as a priest, Father Donnellon was, at the time of his appointment, Prior of the Monastery and Chairman of the Athletic Board. He also held the position of Biology Department Head, which he continued to hold during the academic year of 1953-1954. Father Donnellon brought to the office of President an excellent record of administrative, scholastic, and teaching successes. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Villanova in 1930. Continuing his advance- ment, he received his Master of Science in 1936 and his Doctor of Philosophy in 1938, from the University of Pennsylvania. His studies have also taken him to the Augustinian College and Catholic University in Washington, D. C., and the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Mass. Vilanova’s twenty-third President is a serious, earnest and congenial personality who has vowed to do all in his power to bring about a closer contact between the student body and University authorities. FR. DONNELLON, ably assisted by Fr. McGuire, breaks ground for the new $1,000,000 dormitory. 25 VICE-PRESIDENT THE DEMANDING ADMINISTRATIVE position of Vice- President of the University is in the capable hands of Rev. Edward B. McKee, O.S.A. Assisting the President in the formulation of school policy and providing strong con- nections between the administration, faculty, and students are the main responsibilities of this position. Father McKee is also Dean of Men and Moderator of Athletics. Prior to his appointment as Vice-President, he distinguished himself as a teacher, counselor, Moderator of the Villanovan, and Director of Intramural Athletics. Presently he deals with disciplinary problems as Dean of Men and with intercollegiate athletic relations as Mod- erator of Athletics. Reverend Sdward H. McKee, O.S.J. DEAN PERHAPS THE BUSIEST of all administra- tive offices is that of Dean of the Uni- versity. Since the office was established in 1944, Rev. Edward M. Dwyer, O.S.A., has filled the position. He is the final judge of most of the problems of both the faculty and students. Father Dwyer finished his undergraduate work at Villanova in 1928 and continued his studies at the University of Wurzburg and the University of Berlin, where he received his doctorate in 1933. He spent the next four years studying at the Institute Angeli- cum and the College of St. Monica in Rome, Italy. Since 1937 Father Dwyer has been Professor of Philosophy at Villanova, which department he now heads. Reverend Sdward M- 'Dwyer, O.S.A. ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICIALS JOSEPH I.

At the annual retreat it is no longer the cite of basketball games, swimming meets, or general horseplay; it is the House of Sod. EVER LOOKING down upon us while we are at Villanova and reminding u$ of our religious duties are the two golden crosses atop the lofty spires of the University Chapel. Located at the center of the campus, the chapel is the hub about which the life of every Catholic student here re- volves. The religious life at Villanova includes the annual one-day retreat in the fall, the three-day retreat in the spring, evening devotions, and daily Mass. FR. KEMME, the University Chap- lain, offers Benediction in the Chapel twice a week at evening devotions. FAMILIAR RETREAT SCENES: Fr. Coffey addrosses the student body at a conference; tho Som- inary Choir sings the Mass; Fr. Regan distributes Holy Commun- ion after the last Mass. ■ 40 VIEWS OF OUR SPIRITUAL WELFARE A VISIT to the Chapel ... A vital aspect in the develop- ment of the Christian Gentleman. SOUND MIND WHAT IS IT THAT SETS a Catholic university apart from its secular brethren? The answer is found in the meaning of catholic ; the intrinsically universal nature of Catholicism is Villanova's distinguishing factor. This universality is strongly evidenced by the care exercised by administrators not only for the students' temporal welfare, but also for their spiritual well-being. Pursuing the idea of a sound mind in a sound body, Villanova constantly stresses spiritual values in an age of misplaced secular emphasis. The point of view and the culture of Christianity is ever the object of Villanova training. Combined with this training peculiar to Cath- olic institutions, Villanova also places great importance upon the exterior man and his bodily health. A CERTAIN SOFTNESS and deep tranquility prevails where souls are nourished and minds healed. IN A SOUND BODY TO LOOK AFTER the students' physical well-being, Villanova has provided in Middleton Hall an infirmary, which almost every student has occasion to visit at some time during his four years here. The infir- mary, equipped for almost any emergency, is a small-scale hospital complete with wards on the second floor, modern medical equip- ment, a male nurse, Mr. Cliff Corde, the school physician, Dr. Edward Durkin, and Father Infirmarian, Rev. Francis Boyle, O.S.A. Middleton Hall is named after Rev. Thomas C. Middleton, O.S.A., a former President of Villanova. It is located among the shade trees at the quiet west end of the campus. CLIFF CORDE is on hand to care for the physical needs of the students. 43 ALL'S WELL with Chopper except for the haircut. MISS KATHERINE KELLY, secretary of the Commerce and Finance School.

THE SCHOOL COMMERCE 44 QINCE ITS INCEPTION in 1922 the School of Commerce and Finance has attracted more students than any other school on campus. Under the attentive direction of Rev. Joseph C. Bartley, O.S.A., the Business student has the choice of majoring in Accounting, Finance, Marketing, or Pre-Law. The School, housed in its own building at the eastern end of the campus, has achieved national rec- ognition. thus becoming a credit to itself and the administration of Villanova. REV. JOSEPH C. BARTLEY, O.S.A., has been Dean of the Commerce and Finance School since its inception in 1922.

FATHER GRIMES draws on his personal experi- ences gained while he was College Chaplain in order to provide added inter- est for his classes in Sen- 46 SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES 1 THE TASK OF COORDINATING the many diversified subjects of the School of Arts and Sciences into a well-balanced curriculum is in the hands of Rev. Robert M. Sullivan. O.S.A., Dean. Originally, the sole Arts major at Villanova was philosophy. With the inception of the School of Arts and Sciences in 1946, however, many major fields were opened. Bachelor of Arts degrees are granted in Eng- lish, history, philosophy, social science and science, and Bachelor of Science degrees are granted in education, biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics. Despite the increasing demands for specialization and the tremendous expansion that has come to Villanova through the years, the School of Arts and Sciences still maintains its importance and prestige in the Uni- versity.

INTENSIVE biology courses are important in the curriculum of the pre-med and nurs- ing student. Here Father Kropp is the cen- ter of attention as he performs an experi- ment in one of the biology labs. ated: C. Noel, Fr. McShea, Fr. Ilivan, E. Kennedy. Standing: Nolin, B. Moynahan, T.

GOOD METERS, accurate data, a helpful instructor, and alert students all make for a successful lab experiment. SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING THE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING, under the direction of Dean J. Stanley Morehouse, was the first such school on an eastern Catholic campus. It was started in 1905 with the initiation of a civil engineering course. Within thirteen years courses in electrical, mechanical, and chem- ical engineering were added, and the school was given its present form. After a year of a general course basic to all engineering, Sophomores begin to specialize in whichever of these branches interests them. In their last two years they enter into intense advanced study in their chosen fields. SPLINTERED WOOD and jheared steel bars are often the results obtained in materials testing lab. SCHOOL OF NURSING SOME OF THE NURSING students relax- ing between classes. Villanova offers a four-year training program for high school graduates and a two-year course leading to a Bachelor of Science degree for Reg- istered Nurses. STROLLING in front of Monde! Hall are four of the nuns enrolled in the nursing program. They are talcing nursing educa- tion. PERHAPS NOWHERE ELSE does the tenderness and compassion of Nursing find greater culmination than in the skill of a nurse's hands. Nowhere else do these two hands display such deftness and precision combined with sympathy and gentleness as they do at the bedside of the sick. While these hands are performing their varied duties— from the swift, sure performance of a complicated pro- cedure essential to the health of a critically ill mother to the relaxing, playful task of amusing a convalescent child —they must be constantly guided by sound knowledge based on scientific principles. Vitalize this knowledge and skill, as epitomized in these hands, with the spirit of Christ-like charity; give to these hands, instruments of God's mercy, the unction of a grace that will make them bearers of a love that knows no boun- dary in self-sacrifice; and one sees the whole purpose of the School of Nursing at Villanova University. 4(V DEPARTMENT OF NAVAL THE NAVY first came to Villanova in 1943 to obtain more officers for both the Navy and Marine Corps. During the school year, these future officers receive their training in Com- modore John Barry Hall, where they learn gun- nery, navigation, amphibious warfare, and the other subjects which are integral parts of an officer's education. But the Midshipman's training does not stop in June. During the summer, contract students go on a six-weeks cruise; the regulars, one of eights weeks, with tours to Europe and South America. On these cruises, the young men put to use that which they have learned in the class- room. Those men who decide to become Marines, spend six weeks at the Marine Corps Schools at Quantico, Virginia. SCIENCE THE FACULTY of tho Department of Naval Sci- ence. They are Lt. (j.g.) James Lacy: Lt. William Fitzwilson, Lt. JoscdH Hafner, Lt. Col. Elliot Wil- son, Captain Martin Drury, Lcdr.

A SPECIAL FEATURE of certain home football games is the parading of the entire Midshipman Battalion. Here we have frozen the marching figures as they have entered Connie Mack Stadium prior to the Villanova-Xavier game. For over a decade Wildcat gridiron spectators have been thrilled by this stirring sight. A SENIOR Naval Machinery class is commenced by Lt. Fitz- wilson with the distribution of the plan of the day. Goldie and Fu figure the day's num- ber. THE MIDSHIPMAN Battalion stands at rigid attention for the playing of the National An- them.

That the dean is a real university man may be seen by those ar- gyles he is wearing. ALMOST THE ENTIRE first class of the Law School casually pauses with Dean Reusch'.cin (cen- ter). SCHOOL OF LAW PROFESSOR STEPHENSON drive home his point a the class looks on with interest. Is that a pencil he is jamming into his hand? bulb, Arthur Pulling, law librarian and professor, looks up from his study of another book added to the rapidly growing Law Library. Despite the in- terruption the book was correctly cata- logued. THE VILLANOVA UNIVERSITY Law School, which is in its natal year, is the only full-time law school on a Catholic campus in Pennsylvania. Dr. Harold Gill Reuschlein, A.B., LL.B., J.S.D., is Dean of the school, which is temporarily lo- cated in the library. Plans for a law school building are now being drawn up. Six faculty members — Dean Reuschlein; Eugene F. Holahan, A.B., LL.B.; John T. Macart- ney. B.S., LL.B. Thomas J. O'Toole, A.B., M.A., LL.B.; Arthur C. Pulling, and John G. Stephenson, III, A.B., LL.B. — have proved them- selves capable of handling the fledgling problems of the seventy students enroled. Dean Reusch- lein has stated that the purpose of the school is not merely to produce lawyers, but lawyers who will be a credit to themselves, their pro- fession, their country, and their God. 57 STUDENT COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVES for the Senior class recall happy moments of their college careers. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ WE CAME TO VILLANOVA in September, 1950, a group of very bewildered Fresh- men, slightly dubious of what lay ahead. The novelty of college life made us feel a little lost. Soon, however, we shed our regs, which had too long been a source of amusement for the upperclassmen, and assumed a reasonably stable place at Villanova. At the end of the year we elected Bill Brown, President of the Sophomore year; Joe Kenney, Vice-President; Charles Pear- son, Secretary; Joe Bradley. Treasurer; and Charlie McGuckin, George Eberle, and Tom Kern to the Student Council. In 1951, after the summer vacation, we re- turned to school and immediately began to show Villanova that we were the class to watch. Joe Kenney assumed the presidency when Bill Brown did not return to school and led the way to a very successful Sophomore year. After lording it over the Freshmen during Orientation, Soph Cotillion Chairman Steve Berry began to plan our first class social function at Villanova. That we made the Cotillion the most successful the school had seen by shattering all previous atten- dance records was a clear demonstration that we would amount to something. At the end of the year elections came around again. This time we elected Art Quinn, Presi- dent; Dick Brady, Vice-President; Ted Sheehan, Secretary; Joe Bradley, Treasurer; and Joe Ken- ney, Art Knowlton, George Eberle, and Don Miller to the Student Council. Soon after our return for our Junior year, we initiated plans for the busiest year of our college careers. Of course, one of the first things to be planned was Operation Yule—that project which employs the help of the Juniors to make sure that the boys at St. John's Orphanage have a merry Christmas. Operation Yule Chairmen Frank Saul and Gene Filipski both put in many hours of hard work to make the traditional party and out- ing successful. And their work paid rich divi- OUR VILLANOVA EDUCATION THOROUGHLY DEVELOPED AND PREPARED US . . .

Fired by the slogan A man is never so tall as when he stoops to help a child, we pro- vided the orphans with one of the best Christ- mases they had ever seen. While these plans were in progress, so were those of Ring Chairman Dick Brady and Blazer Chairman Jack Birle. These two men had really tough jobs in that it had not yet been decided when Villanova would become a university. Con- sequently, the designs for both the rings and the blazer sea's had to be held up until the last pos- sible minute. Yes, many plans were laid during the first part of our third year, but none of them were as ex- tensive as those for the forthcoming festivities of Junior Week. The opening day of that week proved to be a memorable one as we brought our mothers to school to celebrate traditional Mother's Day, of which Ted Sheehan was chair- man. With Wednesday came the Blazer Ball, which was admirably planned by Chairman Jack Birle. This informal dance served to limber us up for the two nights of dancing yet to come. On Friday night Johnny Long played to a ca- pacity crowd at the Junior Prom, capably handled by Chairman Joe Zator. We brought The heated elections SUCH PLEASANT MEMORIES AS... The happy endings of well spent days The hilarious picnics The relaxing afternoons at Rosemont The spirited fun at the football games our Junior Week to a close at the Walt Whit- man Hotel in Camden with the Dinner Dance. Harry Anger was chairman. At the end of our third year we elected Ted Sheehan, President; Jack Birle, Vice-President; Gene Filipski, Secretary; Dick Kelly, Treasurer; and Bob Gold, Jack Kneafsey, Joe Zator, and John Gillman, Student Council representatives. After another summer vacation, we embarked on our senior year. Our final social function as a class came late in February—Senior Weekend. The Belle Air Ball, which was held on Friday in the Field House, was a great success, thanks to the efforts of Prom Chairman Ward Welsh. Satur- day night again saw us at the Walt Whitman Hotel, this time for the Senior Dinner Dance, of which George Eberle was chairman. As Senior Weekend drew to a close, we re- luctantly realized that all too soon our four years at Villanova were almost over.

WATCH OUT—the White Hats are after us!! As Frosh, we ran at the Duquesno game. 119 DICK BRADY, Ring Chairman, and Jack Birlo, Blazer Chairman, proudly display the results of their efforts. OUR JUNIOR WEEK THE OUTSTANDING ACTIVITY of our third year was, of course, Junior Week. On the initial day of that week, we invited our best girls to the traditional Mother's Day celebration. Their day commenced with Solemn High Mass, which was followed immediately by the tree-planting ceremony. After lunch, we showed our Moms around the campus and later escorted them to the Field House, where they were entertained by the Villanova Concert Band. A quiet banquet in the Field House at six o'clock ended a perfect day. MOTHER’S DAY MOTHER'S DAY activities were ended by a banquet . . . and a good time was had by all.

BLAZER BALL W ITH OUR MOTHERS safe at home, we turned our attention YY to the activities to follow. On Wednesday night Frank Teti, a former Villanovan, and his Blue Notes provided the music when nearly two hundred of us escorted our dates to the Blazer Ball. The dance, arranged by Chairman Jack Birie, started at nine o'clock and rolled along pleasantly until one. The last note still echoed in the Field House when Joe Mc- Garigle and his committee started working on the decorations for the Prom. The rest of us, not disposed to working, took advantage of the fine Spring weather on Thursday and found complete relaxation in the surrounding countryside. Our Junior Week came to an exhausting but enjoyable finish with the Prom on Friday and the Dinner Dance on Saturday. 121 JUNIOR PROM THE ROSE ROOM WILL BE WELL REMEMBERED • . LONG-AWAITED highlight of Junior Week was, 1 of course, our Junior Promenade. For three years we had waited for this dance, which was planned by Prom Chairman Joe Zator. Decorations Chairman Joe McGarigle and his hard- working committee did an outstanding job of transform- ing the Field House into the Rose Room. They strung hundreds of feet of roses on the balustrade that surrounded the dance floor, hung two gigantic chandeliers, and placed a fountain in the center of the floor. Johnny Long and his orchestra, playing beneath the Philadelphia skyline, provided the music for the capacity crowd that attended this unforgettable dance. THE RESULT of tho Prom Queen Contest shows tho good taste of the judges as Janet Murray receives her crown from Johnny Long. A SMALL remembrance of a big night. JOE McGARIGLE finally worked his way to the top as decorations chairman. VISITING DIGNITARIES. Ted Sheehan.

J.', for the Dinner Dance. The evening, which had been planned by Chairman Harry Anger, commenced at seven o'clock with a turkey banquet while a trio from Tony Desmond's orchestra supplied dinner music. After the meal and short talks by Class Mod- erator Rev. John R. Dunne, O.S.A., President Art Quinn, and Harry Anger, the tables were removed from the floor, and the rest of the orchestra mounted the bandstand. The hours of dancing seemed like minutes, and too soon the strains of I'll See You in My Dreams brought to a close the last dance of the year. FATHER DUNNE, Clast Moderator, has a few words to say at the Dinner Dance as Chairman Harry Anger and Father Eagan vie for position. AIN'T THERE NO JUSTICE? Those guys get all dressed up and rent a ballroom . . . But they still have to wait for chow like they do at school. HERE'S JUSTICE! Maybe all the waiting for chow, deciding which spoon to use, and keeping the napkins from falling on the floor were worth while. THE USUAL panoramic view dis- closes that all are enjoying the hospitality extended to them by the Senior Class and their Holi- day Inn. ART KNOWLTON buys a round at the refreshment booth pre- sided over by Jack Soley. CLASS PRESIDENT Ted Sheehan presents vocalist Ginger Lamarr with her very first orchid.

SENIOR WEEKEND ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26. the last social function of the Sen- ior class—Senior Weekend—com- menced with the Belle Air Ball, the chairman of which was Ward Welsh. Nearly four hundred couples danced to the music of Claude Thornhill in the Field House, which had been transformed for the occasion into the Holiday Inn, a ski resort, by Dec- orations Chairmen Joe McGarigle and Hal Pickett. Everything about the Senior Prom placed it among the best dances ever held at Villanova. The decorations and favors were espe- cially outstanding and unique. There was only one thing wrong with the dance; it was over too soon. DECORATIONS Co-chairman Joe McGar- igle and his date, Yvonne Dubois, step- ping out. JACK HAYES and date in the usual pre- dance ceremony. So it sets you back a few bucks, it was worth it, wasn't it, Jack?

DIG THAT CRAZY musicl An after-hours group enjoys itself at a party following the Senior Prom. SENIOR DINNER DANCE SATURDAY NIGHT, FEBRUARY 27. was the night of the Senior Dinner Dance. Chairman George Eberle made the arrangements, and again we journeyed to the Walt Whitman Hotel in Camden. After a turkey dinner, we were addressed by M. C. Eberle, Father McKee, Father McLaughlin, Father Dunne, and Ted Sheehan. Then the tables were cleared from the floor, and we danced to the music of Tony Desmond and his orchestra. But the pleasure of the evening could not last forever; it had to end. As the last dance played, we realized that our final class social function was over; and we regretted it deeply. CHAIRMAN George Eberle addresses his classmates after the Senior Dinner. George climaxed a very suc- cessful college caroer with a fine job on our final class social function. ROGER MORIARITY and Dick Naclerio sit one out with their datos. Watch that Roger—not too much on dancing but what a mean intermission. DANCING to the music of Tony Des- mond has just begun, as the seniors crowd tho Walt Whitman floor after the dinner-dance. EVERYONE has settled down for the entree with the possible exception of the aston- ished young lady at the second table. Whattsa matta, dearie, your garter snap? BUD DUDLEY thought up the idea of a fashion show to draw out the MEN to the Xavier game—and above we see the men in full swing. At right, Joe Kenney seems to really enjoy his role as escort while at the left . . . need we say more???? MANY FIRSTS PRINCETON swimming coach, Howie Canoune, gave one of the exceliont talks on phases of the aquatic sport. THE FIRST SWIMORAMA ever held by the University drew an overflow crowd to the swimming pool. Coach Ed Seisi and Swimstors put on an interesting and eye- filling performance and demonstrated that swimming is an art as well as a means of exercise. FR. McKEE, Gene Ruano, Bill Sau- ter, Ed Finnegan, and Fr. Mc- Laughlin ... all pleased with tho opening broadcast. BIG-TIME entertainment graced the campus early in October when Vaughn Monroe and the Sauter- Finnegan orchostra came to Villa- nova. Ovor 2000 students turned out to hear Villanova honored as the site for tho 1953 season's op- ening of the Camel Caravan show over a coast to coast network. GAME CAPTAINS Joe Faragalli (Varsity) and Bob Haner (Old-timers) with the honored guests. THE FIRST ANNUAL Blue-White Day was hold during Junior Week of May '53. Highlighting the Sports Car- nival was the football game in which the swifter varsity out-ran the Old-timers. Featured guests were Capt. Hank Christman, former Villanova grid great and Marine hero, and Jordan Oliver, former Wildcat coach now at Yale. JUNIORS Row I: T. Forhecz. J. Dirk, E. Kowcz, R. Scully, J. DeMaioribus, J. Colli, A.

IN THEIR FRESHMAN and Sophomore years the I Class of 1955 showed great promise of assuming a noteworthy place in the annals of Villanova his- tory. This year they demonstrated to the rest of us that this promise was not merely surface appear- ance; under the leadership of their Moderator, Rev. Edwin T. Grimes, O.S.A., and their President, Bernie Finan, they have lived up to the reputation that they established in their first two years. As soon as school opened this year, the Juniors began to lay plans for the now traditional Opera- tion Yule. Financed by funds received from the Charity Ball and general contributions, Chairmen Lou Fournier and Red McGahan saw to it that the Christmas party and the outing in Philadelphia for the boys at St. John's Orphanage were among the best the Johnnies have seen. Immediatey after the Christmas vacation the Class of 1955 began to polish up plans that had been in preliminary stages all year — plans for Byrne, J. Coggini, J. Capellini, T. O'Donnell, J. Beeler, C. Schreiber, P. Burgoyne, J. Sulliven, R. Rock. Row 4: J. Clerey, W. Peerson, A. Dempsey, G. Gorhem. G. Keppes, W. Kordek, F. Anton, J. Bredy, D. Dougherty, D. Fahey. J. Welunes, L.

Mother's Day, which traditionally starts Junior Week, and whose Chairman was Ted Clarkson, was a great success, as was the Blazer Ball under the chairmanship of Bob Myers. But these two successes were almost over- shadowed by the Junior Prom and Dinner Dance. On Prom night Chairman Bud Ford packed the Field House with more than six hundred couples. The following night Chairman Frank Gunther had every seat filled at the Penn Sheraton Hotel when Tony Desmond played at the Dinner Dance. The Juniors have more to be proud of than Junior Week, however. It was largely through the efforts of Red McGahan that the pep rallies during the football season were so successful. Too, the Class of 1955 is the first class to have University on their rings. If the Juniors retain the spirit they have shown in the past, next year should see one of the best Senior classes ever to graduate from Villanova. Row I: P. Vachon, E. Zahorsky, J. Ciccone, J.

Armed with dink, handbook, and slightly raised cuffs, the Frosh is now ready to take his place among the class ranks. THE CLASS OF 1956 have planted their feet solidly in the soil of Villanova. They first became aware of this when a select group of them was chosen for the Orientation Committee. Donning the traditional white hats, the members extended a brotherly welcome to the incoming Freshmen and guided them in the first phase of the new life before them.

SISTER MARGARELLA. one of the associate nursing directors, gives the low-down on things to a group of interested coeds in re- cently renovated Austin Lounge. THE CLASS OF I957 began to distinguish themselves from the day in September when they registered. In the first place, they are the first Freshman class to register at Villanova Uni- versity; secondly, it is the first time in the history of the institution that coeds have become full time students. The Frosh, after the ordeals of the orientation period, threw off their shackles by beating the Sophomores on traditional MUFF Day, and showing the rest of Villanova that they belong. Row I: J.

THE VARSITY CLUB 171 WVIL, THE RADIO VOICE of Villanova University, broadcasts five night a week this year under the direction of Station Manager Dave Petersen. Established in 1945 as a strictly student enterprise, WVIL has since obtained the support of the administration and has moved from its original quarters in Austin Hall to more spacious accommodations next to the pie shop. Since its initiation WVIL has constantly improved. The major step this year was the decision to transmit directly through the school's power lines rather than through the air. Clear reception in the more distant halls was achieved without stepping up the power to a force that would carry programs off campus. Too, this year saw the largest staff membership in the station's short history.

BELLE MASQUE 174 LORD LOAM (Bob Erskine) and Tweeny (Ethel Dagit) enjoying a laugh in an im- provised hut which tho little band had oc- cupied for two years. A FORMER BUTLER, who assumes leadership of the group on the island, Crichton (Bernie Coyne), confesses his lovo to Lady Mary Lasenby (Katherine Kelly). THE BELLE MASQUE SOCIETY, Villanova's dramatic group, was re- organized in 1946 (after a necessary wartime retirement) by its present Moderator, Rev. William J. Krupa, O.S.A. Since that time the society has enjoyed a well-deserved and ever-increasing popularity. In the past the Belle Masque, which is a member of the Alpha Psi Omega —a national dramatic honor fraternity—has shown that it is capable of handling large-scale productions in a professional manner. This year's presentations were not exceptions. Not discouraged when a ten-inch snowfall kept all but a handful of people away from its Winter production, The Admirable Crichton, the society started working on its Spring play, Stalag 17, which is bound to be one of the finest ever staged at Villanova. CAST of the Admirabl© Crichton celebrate the engagement of the butler to the lady of the house. 175 THE ADMIRABLE CRICHTON Crichion .................................Bernard Coyne Ernest Wooley ..............................Peter Quinn Ledy Agatha Lasenby ..............Sally Ann Daly Lady Catherine Lasenby ............Joan Thcurkauf Lady Mary Lasenby Katherine Kelly Mr. Troherne ................William Cunningham Lord Brocklohurst .................Walter Doyle Lord Loam .........................Robert Erskine Miss Fisher .......................Mario Potocki Naval Officer.......................William Brown The Countess of Brockelhurst .......

PRIOR TO the shuffling of social standings, Lady Lasenby (Katherine Kelly), discusses household prob- lems with the butler (Bernard Coyno). CRICHTON, the perfect butler, shows Twcony, the kitchen maid, how to cook ovor an open firo. AFTER BEING RESCUED and returned to normal life a slip of the tongue is made by Tweeny (Ethel Dagit), regarding life on the island. THROUGH THE KIND, patient, untiring efforts of director Rev. William Krupa, O.S.A., Belle Masque plays are always successful. As anyono who has worked with Fr. Krupa will gladly testify, the big men of Hollywood have nothing on him. STAGE MANAGERS George Minser and Joe Wynne discuss construction plans for the set of the Admirable Chrichton. The set was one of the finest ever seen in a Belle Masque production. THIS IS NO PLACE for tears Sir Maudlin (Tony Dela Rocca), look whore Little John (Barry Schmitt), was injured. FIVE MINUTES to curtain catches girls exposed. Bob Gold helps Owen Hickey get untangled. P.S. They all made it! THE TURF AND TINSEL CLUB was founded in 1933 by Martin Gill, a Villanova alumnus, and Harry Stuhldreher, then varsity football coach. The original plan of the club was to present a musical comedy each year with an all male cast comprised of varsity athletes. The enter- prise, however, lasted only two years. After the war, interest in the club was revived largely through the efforts of Robert Whelan, choreographer George Noake, and Moderator Rev. Michael J. O'Donnell, O.S.A. Rev. John P. Maher, O.S.A., relieved Fr. O'Donnell and has aided greatly in increasing the popularity of the club. FRIAR TUCK (Bobby Haner), takes ex- ception to Bloody Roger's (Hugh Fla- herty) accusation of his honesty. 178 TURF AND TINSEL BIS BERTHA (Jude O'Donnell) stumbles into Sherwood hideaway - and is claimed by Will Scarlet (Tom Green) who lets Robin Hood- wink (Gene Filipski) know things are under control, despite the Lady's opposition.

ANXIOUSLY AWAITED each Tuesday is the Villanovan. the weekly campus newspaper. Moderated by Rev. John A. Klekotka, O.S.A., and edited by Dick Winfield, the paper is one of the most vital extracurricular activities, for in the hands of its staff lies the responsibility of keeping its readers informed of the happenings at Villanova. To accomplish this end, the weekly publishes news articles, sports, features, letters, and editorials. 181 BUSINESS MANAGER Mike Maliniak explains the pyramid style of placing advertisements on page 8 to an interested junior. HOW DID YOU GET that double exposure? , asks Steve Lyons of his photography co-editor Don Rabenda, as the other photo takers look on with amusement.

Revolving our efforts around the noble work of Cardinal Newman— The Idea of a Univer- sity, the ideas slowly became realities and the pieces were placed in order. The book that you now read is the result of countless long, late, hard hours of concentration, tireless effort, and sacrifice. Our work is completed—we now await your verdict. Arthur L. Quinn Editor -in- Chief JWi A DILIGENT Joe Alvich wonders if he will ever work his way around the table. SOME OF the members of the copy staff—Frank Gunther, Bob Rcber, Jim Barker, and Ed Fletcher burn the midnight oil, a common procedure in Belle Air production. REV. DANIEL FALVEY, O.S.A.

Gorman Activities Editor 187 Francis J. Williman Robert A. Rcber Photography Editor Copy Editor WHAT IS THE BELLE AIR FOR? This year- book has a very specific purpose—to pro- vide for you a lasting and indelible record, both in pictures and in copy, of the year's events. The human mind is always working, but it is usually occupied with things that are happening in the present. The events of the past are pushed into the background. The longer they stay there, the vaguer and the harder to recall they become. The Belle Air staff realizes this and, believing that memories of college life will be important ones, publishes a book each year that will pre- serve them vividly and concretely for the future. FRANK WILLIMAN. photography editor, looks over the handiwork of his staff: Steve Lyons. Bill Burns, Dick Schleicher, and Dennis Kuwa- hara (standing), and Don Rabenda (seated). LATE IN SEPTEMBER each year the Belle Air is host to sevoral thousand high school students at its Annual Publications Confer- ence. The conference has as its purpose the enabling of high school students, interested in school publications, to learn how they may bettor their yearbooks, papers, and magazines, and gener- ally gain valuable knowledge from successful men in the journalistic field. At the right wo soe some of the principal figures at this year's conference: Rev. Daniel Falvey, O.S.A., Librarian and Belle Air moderator; Mr. Francis Mar- tinez; Sister Joanna Mary, I.H.M., and Mr. William Cooke, president of the Cooke Publishing Co., pub- lishers of the Belle Air. THE TRIPS to Zamsky Studios arc always a mixture of business and pleasure. Here Joe Zator talks over a photography problem with Miss Anne McCarthy and Mr. Joseph Korpalski of the Zamsky Staff. Thomas Knestout Raymond J. Lovell Harold W. Pickett Feature Editor Circulation Manager Art Editor MR. DANIEL SOLARI, of the William T. Cooke Publishing Co., is the man with whom the Belle Air deals directly. With- out his astute aid the Belle Air would have an oxtremely difficult time being produced.

FOOTBALL THE SEASON'S FOOTBALL OPENER was a 'Cat-'dog fight before 98,000 fans under the lights at Municipal Stadium. Villanova’s Wildcats jumped to 12 quick points in the first period as quarterback Joe McNicholas threw long to halfback Ralph Cecere for the first score, and fullback Jack Helm plunger for the second. Georgia's Bulldogs, led by Zeke” Bratkowski's pin-point passes to wingman Johnny Carson, roared back to a 13-12 halftime lead, however, then outscored the Mainliners three touchdowns to one in the second half for a 32-19 win. THE FOLLOWING week the Raimo-men met Texas' Longhorns at Dallas. The torrid (95°) temperature and enormous Texas bench (89 men, of whom 52 were used) combined to wear down the 'Cats' stamina. Cecere again scored two touchdowns but Texas won, 41-12, as the heat forced eight Villanovans from the game. TRAPPED while attempting to pass, Joe McNicholas runs for good yardage against Syracuse with the aid of some excellent Strongarm work by Tom Fitzpatrick. A CROWD of 98,000 saw hard-running Georgia half- back Jimmy Campagna drive up the middle in the season's opener. AFTER TAKING a handoff early in the Texas game, John Giordano is stopped by Texas' sophomore halfback, Ches- ter Simcik. 193 PETE CARRIERI JOE LEICHTWEIS ROY KERSHAW THESE ARE THE WILDCATS BOB BERG ART KNOWLTON TOM FITZPATRICK CAPT.

The first taste of victory came at the expense of Boston College. With Filipski and Cecere sparking the ground offense the Main Liners forged ahead 8-0 and were never stopped. The final score was Villanova 15, Boston College 7. Gene Filipski again showed himself as the best back on the field. The Webster, Mass., speedster picked up a total of 89 yards for his Sunday's work. Included in this was a 38-yard dash for the first Villanova score. The Blue and White had jumped off to an early lead when Ray Rigney and Bob Volonino trapped Eagle quarterback Bill Stuka in his own end zone. The safety made it 8-0 and it stood that way at halftime. In the third period Don McComb grabbed a partially deflected pass and raced 45 yards for the touchdown. Bob Volonino converted and Villanova had a fifteen-point lead. The Eagles threatened many times in the second half, but were turned back on all but effort. Tom Magnarelli got them the score with a six-yard jaunt around right end. The scoring thrust capped off a 60-yard drive.

That unfor- tunately was the case in the second home game of the season. The Wildcats were completely outplayed and shutout by Detroit, 27-0. The shutout, inci- dentally, was the first in Art Raimo's three year tenure of office. It took the Titans a total of only nine plays to get their first two scores. In the first period they went 35 yards in eight tries, and in the second quarter a 13-yard run by Bo Burgmeier gave them the second tally. Both of the opportunities had come from Villanova fumbles. The Motor City group turned the game into a compete rout after the half. Villanova had made its only penetration of Titan territory, but lost the ball on downs. Then the Red and White went 66 yards in I I plays for their third marker of the evening. The visitors finally wrapped up the evening with a fine 68-yard sprint, on a punt return, by Dave Kline. WITH DETROIT leading 27-0 in the third quarter Villanova still can't move. Here Ben Addiego is thrown for a loss. This was the case a!l evening as the Wildcats got across midfield only once, and never even threatened to score. 1 IN THEIR THIRD TRY the Wildcats finally won a I football game at home. Before the smallest crowd of the season Villanova edged Xavier, 21-14. The Musketeers had jumped off to a 7-0 lead in the early part of the second quarter, but the Mainliners got two scores just before halftime and were never headed. Both of the tallies were long distance strikes as Gene Filipski ran 33 yards for one, and John Gior- dano streaked 30 to give the 'Cats a lead. Giordano's was the result of a pass-lateral play. The 'Cats finished their scoring for the afternoon with another long shot. Jack Helm took a screen pass from Charlie McGuckin and dashed 50 yards for the touchdown. GENE FILIPSKI cuts by Xavier Co-Captain, Bobby Judd, for 12 yard early in the second poriod of the homecoming game. A LAST SECOND lunge by Kentucky's Bill Hardy breaks up a McGuckin to Cecere aerial under the lights at Lexington. A THIRD SOUTHERN trip provided the same result as on the previous trips as the Mainliners finished on the short end to Kentucky, 19-0. Villanova's scrapping 'Cats were behind by only 6-0 with five minutes to play when Ken- tucky's All-American Steve Meilinger returned an intercepted pass to Villanova's 28 and scored two plays later. A bad pass from center gave Kentucky the ball a few minutes later to set up the final tally. GENE FILIPSKI dodges Fordham tacklors on a 14 yard romp for a touchdown in the first quarter of the game at the Polo Grounds; as Jack Helm takes out Fordham’s Jack Hyatt. SEE YOU LATER GUYS! Pat Stark of Syracuse does some fancy stepping to avoid Villanova's Jack Helm and Joe Leichtwiess. AFTER TAKING IT on the chin from Georgia and Texas, the Wildcats had high hopes for a victory at the expense of Wake Forrest. The hopes were short-lived, however, as the Deacons became the third team in as many weeks to dump the Mainliners. A twelve-point third period gave the victors an 18-12 final margin. Both teams had come into the contest without a win, and the game was an evenly matched affair throughout the first half. Wake Forrest scored first in the second period on a one-yard sneak by quarterback Joe White. Raimo's charges got their only tally of the half just before intermission. Ralph Cecere galloped ten yards with a pitchout to knot the game at six-all. Gene Filipski got loose in the second half for 64 yards and Villanova's second score on a punt return. The Demon Deacons scored twice more though and picked up their first win of the new season. 199 AN UPSET THE SEASON’S BIGGEST WIN PLAYING for the first time as a University team, the club finally realized the potential antici- pated for it in pre-season ratings as they battled to a 14-13 win over the favored Syracuse Orange. It was a team victory throughout as the vicious blocking and tackling of the linemen and hard running of the backs reminded many of last year’s powerhouse. Ralph Cecere scampered for 88 yards (Villa- nova's longest, run of the season) and a touchdown behind the magnificent blocking of guard Tom Fitzpatrick, who excelled throughout the game; Joe McNicholas called’plays with professional poise; Jack Helm returned an intercepted pass for 54 yards to set up the second score and kicked the two vital extra points; the whole team played inspired ball. Kershaw, Rigney, McComb and Mayock sparkled at the ends; always invaluable Joe Faragalli, Joe Leichtweiss, Pete Carrieri, and Nelson Marshall came through with the crucial tackle whenever the Orangemen threatened, or the jarring block to shake a man loose. This was Villanova at its best. ALL AMERICAN end John Carsen leaps high to grab one of Bratkowski's aerials. Inability to break up this combination cost Villanova the ballgame. TOM FITZPATRICK clears the way as Vil- lanova's Ralph Cecere returns a Syracuse punt 88 yards for a touchdown. SENE FI LI PSKI attempts to run the Boston University left side. Roy Kershaw takes out Lou Pctroka, but Filipski is about to be stopped by Tom Gastall. THE BOSTON COLLEGE Eagles display some fine blocking as thoy open the hole through which Tom Magnarelli scored in the fourth quarter at Fenway Park. A QUICK FIRST PERIOD safety, followed by a touchdown, gave Boston University a head start and the Wildcats couldn't catch them. That was pretty much the entire story of the Mainliners' second visit to Boston. The Terriers were looking for revenge and they got it full measure. The chief trouble coming from halfback Don DeFeudis. The final score was 31-19 in favor of Boston University. A CRIPPLING ground attack — one that netted over 400 yards in all — and gen- erally sound line play propelled the Wildcats to a 20-13 win over the Fordham Rams in New York's Polo Grounds in the first meeting between these two rivals since 1921. The win was the final game of the year, and constituted the club's fourth win, against six losses. Gene Filipski, in gaining nearly 180 yards on the ground, and the other backs—Ralph Cecere, Joe McNicholas and Jack Helm were all demons when carrying the ball. ANDY ROMEO nears the end of a short two-yard gain at the Polo Grounds. Don McComb made the stop.

Basketball AN AGGREGATION that battled inexperi- ence and the loss of four starters from the past season and still came through with a re- markable 20-11 record—this is the nutshell ac- count of Villanova's l953-'54 basketball club. For here was a team that played some of the top-flight competition in the country, and man- aged, mainly through the efforts of its apparent teamwork and the pin-point firing of the na- tion's second highest scorer, Bob Schafer, to record only two less wins than did a '52-'53 outfit sparked by four seniors and the inimitable Larry Hennessy. There's no doubt about it — Coach Al Sever- ance and his students did an extremely com- mendable job, through the closing nine-game winning streak, and, yes, even through that tor- tuous six-game losing skein that was brought on by over-scheduling and consecutive tilts with the likes of N. C. State, Dayton, Siena, Seton Hall and Duquesne. This year's team worked together constantly—in that throbbing overtime win over Rio Grande and Bevo Francis, in the surprise win against a favored Fordham group that later went on to the NCAA quarterfinals, in those so very encouraging victories over Seton Hall in the sec- ond meeting, Princeton, St. Bonaventure. Captain Jack Devine was his usual noncha- lantly effective self throughout; he was a prime asset under the boards and found time to com- pile a inexpandable 15-point average. His floor- play was consistent and heady; his leadership WILDCAT CAPTAIN Jack Devine drives up tho middle to score against Seton Hail at the Palestra. DESPITE the fact that he's badly outnum- bered John Cirino cuts underneath to lay up a two pointer. SPARKING THE TEAM with his consistently fine play, Captain John Devine major factor in the compilation of Villanova's winning record. BOB SCHAFER cuts by his man and drives along the end line. Three Seton Hall playors move in, but the blond bomber scored. FIVE PIRATES were a little too much tor Marty Milligan and he couldn't get his shot away. THE 'CATS made it 58 straight in the Field House with this win over St. Peters. Cirino drives by Jakubowslci to score. and court calmness a decided factor all season long. He was a captain in its most intrinsic sense. And then there were the sophomores—Larry Tierney, Jim Smith, John Cirino, Marty Milligan, of whom proved indispensible for obvious reasons. Tierney, a New Yorker, was perhaps the team's finest defensive cog. His work was steady, his hustle outstanding, his style so in keeping with his all-out attitude that made him one of the best floor men in the area and an occasional double- figure scorer. And Smith—his name is synonymous with the nine-game winning batch. Having earlier led the Freshmen team through I I win, Smittie made his jump to the varsity at the advent of the second term and proceeded to pull his club from the six-game doldrums with his I 3 point average, his fight and drive, his tapping and rebounding, all of which were so obviously a tremendous boon to the team's morale and eventually, the team's record. BOB SCHAFER, one of the four players in history to score over 800 points in one season, adds two to his total with a straight-in layup. A COLORFUL YOUNG TEAM VlLL , HIGH-SCORING Bob Schafer eludes Si Green and gets off his shot during the Palestra contost in which Duquesne beat Villanova for the second time this season. Tall, valuable under the boards and a steady scoring factor was John Cirino. Here was a boy who, throughout the year, hauled in stray shots at random and contributed needed height to the VU machine. And, like Tierney and Milli- gan, Cirino had had only four games of even freshman experience. He wasn't flashy, granted, but he was consistent and hard-working . . . and that was his forte. Milligan, relegated to a top reserve role on Smith's arrival, was a pleasant surprise during the first half. He hit occasionally from the outside and played headily on defense and in the weave. He figures prominently in the future, as a scorer and floor man. And then there was Tom Foley, a big reserve man who, through an invaluable performance against Rio Grande, was named District Player of the week early in the season. He was also outstanding in the Fordham win in a defensive role. Frank Power, a very promising-sophomore, Bill Sigalove, Bill Burke were the other reservists. Of course, when the subject is Villanova bas- ketball in '53-'54, the subject must also be Bob Schafer. Only a junior, Schafer finished second in nation scoring, fifth in national per-game av- erage, broke a Palestra record with 46 points, and all season long was amazing in his shooting. He was lauded left and right by rival coaches as best set shot in the nation,” and best shot in the country. He still has another year to gain more of a monopoly on VU records, and he al- ready holds countless ones. He was throughout the season the scoring nucleus of the club, ended up the year with a 27 point average. JIM SMITH, moving fo his right, is about to put up a whirling underhand shot. The team's fine play against Bald- win-Wallace was overshadowed by Bob Schafer's brilliant 46 point performance. Captain Jack Devine ACTION at the Palestra.

MONUMENT DAY, Coach Art Mahan wa honored by his players for his outstanding service to baseball. He was presented with a traveling bag in the shape of second base. The award was given by player-owner Jim White. BASEBALL A SURPRISING pitching performance, sev- eral sparkling long-ball displays by vet- erans, and a 12-5 wind-up after a poor start highlighted Villanova's 1953 baseball season. Coach Art Mahan's aggregation, combining nicely offensive power and pitching prowess in the season’s later stages, was paced by a group of steady lettermen and a then sophomore hurler who took up the void when formerly reliable Don Lefty Sommers had trouble with his control; namely, one Dick Scott, a lefthander who set just about every opponent on his ear and finished the year with a 6-0 record. Meanwhile, outfielder Bill McGarry, second- baseman Bob Maurer and shortstop Ralph Ce- cere were hitting the long ball consistently enough to pull the club out of a case of early- season doldrums. McGarry, who also found time to show off quite a bit of rifle-armed left-fielding, almost carried the team offensively for the first few games, collecting three hits on the average for the opening trio of engagements; Maurer, who after graduation played for a time in the Class B Piedmont League, proved a defensive demon at second and managed to bat his way to the club's BA leadership, hitting over .400 most of the year. Cecere, the object of several major league PLENTY OF ACTION scouts' affections, came through with the long hit all season long, including a performance against Penn that featured two booming shots over the left-field fence on the Wildcat diamond. His play in the short field was more than ade- quate, as was that of Jack Helm at first base. Helm, who chipped in with a long home run against Penn also, assumed an effective clutch- hitting role and supplied a good bit of the club’s overall offensive power. Now graduated, Ken Lowe was perhaps the Wildcats' steadying factor behind the mask, in spite of an occasional sore arm. Defensively, he was a bulwark, although his hitting was short of spectacular. Third base duties were divided be- tween 1952’s stand-out Dick Shannon and Don Mouchetti, both of whom were adequate as glove men and fairly good hitters. Chuck Mc- Guckin, in centerfield, was his usual stellar self as a fly chaser, and, although he was less suc- cessful at the plate than the previous season, still maintained the stick talent that has him pegged as a big-league prospect. 213 BLUE-WHITE DAY . . .

VILLANOVA'S INDOOR TRACK season was highlighted with record-breaking performances by an outstanding freshman team, the consistency of middle-distance star Joe Gaffney, and the creditable showing of the mile relay team. Freshman Mike Agostini opened the season by establishing a new meet record for the 50-yard dash at the Boston K. of C. Games. Charlie Jenkins shared the spotlight with his selection as the outstanding performer of the meet. Agostini later eclipsed the world indoor mark for 100 yards by negotiating the century in 0:9.6 seconds A freshman mile relay combination of Eugene Maliff, Al Peter- son, John Connolly, and Jenkins completed an undefeated season. The addition of Alex Breckinridge resulted in a record-smashing triumph for the distance medley relay at the I.C.4A. champion- ships.

The record—including the pair of wins over PMC and St. Peter's—means little when analyzing the swimming team. For it was the first to represent this institution since 1942 and, after all, building a good tank squad takes time—a lot of it, materia!—a lot of it, and reputation— which can only be set up through many successful seasons. But the future is very bright, due to the potential displayed this year, and the freshman material that was so outstand- ing in the District Championships in mid-March. Captain Bill Quinn, Tom Donahue, Pat Kean, Jim Bor- den, Ben Addiego, Paul Donahue, Bob Gerstung and all the varsity members were consistent and some, at times, really outstanding especially Quinn and the former Dona- hue. The frosh talent list was headed by Co-Captains Don Devlin and Don Couig, who turned in stellar performances in the District meet.

With any sort of luck at all the Wild Kittens could have fin- ished with a 2-2 record. In the opener against Penn the Kittens apparently had the ball game but a heartbreaking turn of events gave the Red and Blue a 27-25 vic- tory in the last six seconds. The Mainliners outplayed Cornell for almost the entire contest, but they seemed to run out of gas in the final stanza. The Red came on strong at the finish and sneaked by with a 14-13 win. The Princeton game was snowed out, and then in the next two outings Villanova was snowed under. Rutgers handed the Blue and White defeat number three, 26-0.

Knowing How . . . is a fifty-fifty combination of ability and experience. WHEN it comes to photography, we’re particular about quality; we fuss with true rendition, we dote on the subjects of lighting, color harmony and rhythm of composition. Maybe that’s why we get along so well with particular editors and advisers. AN intelligent service endowed with a spirit of friendly co- operation has been the imporant factor in bringing Zamsky Studios to the position of LEADERSHIP in the school annual field. MAYBE that’s why Villanova University turned to us for their photography in 1954. We hope you will turn to us soon and we invite your inquiry. 4- ZAMSKY STUDIOS Photographers to Particular Schools for Over Twenty Years 248 HUTCHINSON, RIVINUS CO.
