But it is not the simple white headstone which is the true monument to this great Augustinian's life; his memorial is found in the buildings, in the hearts of men, and among the countless:friends;he made for Vil- lanova. For almost the last three decades, he was intimately associated with and in good part responsible for the great growth of this University. We dedicate the 1955 Belle Air to the memory of a great Prior Provincial and a great friend of this University. ADMINISTRATION The vexing job of guiding a university re- quires a firm but patient hand. Father James Donneilon, the soft-spoken, resolute president, is a man equal to the exacting task. The Father President combines his admin- istrative duties with classroom teaching. For one thing, he is an accomplished scholar; for another, he finds it an excellent way of keeping in touch with the students. the steadfast... dedicated... resourceful... MEN OF VILLANOVA . . . 10 ... guiding Villanova's Board of Trustees constitutes the University's governing body, formulating policy, directing investments and development programs. Current members include John Kelly, serving in an advisory capacity, Rev. John J. Curran, Rev. James A. Don- nellon, Rev. Joseph C. Bartley, Rev. Henry E. Greenlee, and Rev. Patrick J. Dundon. In upper inset is William Simpson, in lower inset, Cyril J. Burke. 12 the preservation of an idea With Father Donnellon is the Very Rev. Henry E. Greenlee, O.S.A., S.T.D., who succeeded the beloved Father Dougherty as rector provincial of the Augustinian Province of St. Thomas of Villanova in October, 1954. As provincial, Father Greenlee administers the affairs of the Eastern Province and wields large influence in the decisions of the Board of Trustees. Like the great majority of administrators, he is a Villanova graduate. roving grounds The need for bridging the gap between students and administration three years ago prompted the formation of a Joint Student-Faculty committee. Since then this group has made important strides in the solution of mutual problems. The younger members of the Joint Committee, chosen by the Student Council, are William Ford, Edwin Daly and Richard Winfield. Rev. George McLaughlin. O.S.A., is moderator; faculty representatives include Mr. John Gailen, Rev. Robert Sullivan, O.S.A., and Rev. Thomas Burke, O.S.A. 14 for Fellowsh Men like the Dean, Rev. Edward M. Dwyer, O.S.A., shown speaking with Junior Bob Cassidy, and the Vice-President, Rev. Edward B. McKee, O.S.A., above, are constantly called upon to help students through the Sturm und Drang of college life. Be- tween student and administrator, then, there springs an essential, but close bond. Fellowship exists at many levels: among students, between students and faculty, among the faculty itself (see left). 15 R s Not only the college playboy's rationalization of his an- tics, but also a sound educational doctrine is Villanova's claim that there are more than three R's. And whatever the activity—relaxation, recreation, reading—chances are that it will revolve around one of the campus structures, the grounds and buildings become the hub of life; dormi- tories, classrooms, the library, the chapel are centers of the sometimes frenetic (see Ryan, Rallies), sometimes placid, but always friendly life of the Villanova man. Here then, are the habitats—and the habits—of that engaging breed. Rallies. College songs, yells, confetti, contagious enthusiasm, the football team, and the chance that some Rosemont girls might slip in—these are the factors which cause hundreds to swarm into the Field House. 18 Ryan. Ebullient Athletic Secretary Bill Ryan picked up the nickname Go-Go, electrified a few rallies, became a Villanova institution overnight. and then some more Ift It ill fl III Residence. The moon-like glow of a street lamp on the chapel side of Austin Hall lends an unreal look to the undergraduate dormitory. A redecorated lounge on the far wing has been turned over to nursing students. Relaxing. Consolations and congratulations aro all part of the typical discussions after a surprise quiz. Notwithstanding the test, it's an excuse to stretch out on Mendel Field in the spring sunshine to work up energy for the next class. Reading. Mon like Pete Peterson and Bob Brown have been known to walk into trees on the way back from the Post Office while reading the day's mail. DIVERSIONS The run comes across as a grimacing sem- inarian catcher puts a (late) tag on a sliding seminarian baserunner. Tense moment at the Rosomont Tea House finds Bill Westhead, right, and Nick Mazzoni in an afternoon-long bridge game. Bell ringing, siren howling, Dalmatian bark- ing, the indispensable Radnor fire truck drew residents to the pre-game pep rallies. Playing the role of nattily-dressed Christian gentlemen to the hilt, two Commerce and Finance fraternity pledges exchange greet- ings. 20 Traditionally a senior dormitory, Fedigan Hall stands as one of the finest structures on campus. It is named after Rev. John J. Fedigan, O.S.A., Villanova president from 1878 to 1890. Senior Don Mulcahy lofts a high return in a Mendel Field volleyball game. Ed Goisz's bustling intra- mural program has introduced tournaments in foul- shooting, chess, golf, swimming, football, basketball, softball, water polo, cross-country, ping-pong, ten- nis, and track. LIGHTS go out.♦. Serving an early Mass ... a lab roport due . . . a bull session held past hours ... all factors that may send the dorm inhabitant sprinting to his room. At lights out, Sullivan Hall, dubbed The Pentagon, presents a startling contrast to its normal night-time brilliance. The prayers of residents of Simp- son Hall and their moderator, Rev. Robert E. Regan, O.S.A., S.T.D., are offered to the Blessed Mother for world peace. Once a private home, Simpson Hall now offers the relatively few undergraduates who live there a place of comfort and quiet. 22 Sometimes it's impossible to study assign- ments, write that letter home, call the girl, all before II P. M. So—we sneak a shower or shave after curfew. And then there are the no-credit, no text- book Seminars in Conversation, conducted nightly wherever you look. Although there may be professors present, students never take notes. BULL SESSIONS go on ♦ ♦ 23 the well-worn CAMPUS PATHS 24 And when he gets back to his room, his roommate will check him for lipstick smears on the shirt collar, baked goods, and high school or college rings. This outsized papier-mache Texan brought Simpson Hall the Basca Award for the second consecutive year. The hall decoration competition preceded the Houston game. Still Lifo in the Pic Shop: A pair of chess fanatics concentrate on their game despito a noisy background of juke box mambos and rattling dishes. Chess has caught on at Villanova; players number in the hundreds. The Commerce and Finance building contains, along with classrooms and editorial offices of The Villanovan, business school department offices, and a theater auditorium seating about 600. OF HABITS For th© first time in recent history, seminarians from St. Rita's and St. Mary's halls have been enlisted to become prefects in the student dormitories. Here a hall prefect checks a sign-out list. Where shoppers rush to department stores before Christmas, most college men, like Jim Borden of the chattoring teeth, strike out for the post office to deliver mail during the rush. Although it has its drawbacks—the cold, the walking, the weighty mail-bags—letter-carrying can be lucrative. St. Rita's Hall, built on the site of the Rudolph Mansion which was destroyed by fire in 1912, now serves as a home for professed to the Augustinian Order during their stay at Villanova. Offices of the Augustinian Seminary Guild aro in the basement. AND HABITATS St. Mary's Hall Is one of the campus bastions of religion, both in appearance and purpose. Home of all Augustinian priests during their seminarian days at Villanova, the building is self-sufficient, with its own classes, living quarters, kitchen facilities and chapel. Two students pause on the steps of Mendel Hall. University administrative center. The Gothic arch blends with the fortress-typo fieldstone construction marking it as the most imposing building on campus. the printed word is housed within our SPLENDID LIBRARY... Built in 1949, the Library has become the center of intellectual activity in this area. The modern facilities pro- vides students with every opportunity for research, study, or even, relaxation. It is equipped to hold up to 400,000 volumes. The high-ceilinged functional reference room accommodates a wealth of in- formation and lends a subdued air to students in search of material. The library is also the temporary home of the two-year old law school. 28 Tolle lege. Tolle lege. The words said to St. Augustine are given fresh meaning daily as students apply themselves to the library's modern facilities in increasing numbers. Not yet two years old, the law library alone has over 31,000 volumes. In addition to a spacious reference room, students find intellectual havens in the endless book shelves, seminars, a music room, and an extensive library for periodicals. 29 the RELIGIOUS TRAINING of the Villcmovan Chapel attendance triples the one night each year that the Rosemont Glee Club, 65 voices angelic, sings Christmas hymns. University President Father Donnellon blesses the newly-erected statue of Our Mother of Good Counsel at dedication ceremonies last spring. The statue was a gift of the class of 1954. In a most typical pose, University Chaplain Rev. Joseph W. Kemme, O.S.A., an energetic friend and spiritual adviser to every student, reads his office while kneeling at the rear of the chapel in front of his confessional. 30 Mass—to the Catholic, the highest form of praise to God—is celebrated in the University chapel. Now unable to accommodate the growing student body, the chapel will be enlarged as part of the development program. FOOD FOR THE SOUL The seminarian mounts the spiral stairway in the chapel, grasps the rope and tolls the De Profundis. This ritual honoring the memory of deceased Villanovans is enacted each night during the year. The Palm Sunday De Profundis is especially significant; one half-hour later the annual spring retreat commences with benediction and a sermon by the retreat master. Then follows three days of recollection during Holy Week. Priests observe that early morning mass attendance increases mark- edly during Advent, Lent, prior to, and during examinations. Villa- novans, likewise, flock to mass during the two annual retreats. Here the chaplain, Father Kemme, elevates the chalico during a Holy Week mass before a congregation of Villanova men. Father President Donnellon delivers the closing message of the three-day retreat after cele- brating Solemn High Mass before the entire student body. Attendance at all the exercises of the retreat is compulsory. The student body must attend the conferences, Holy hours, and masses of the three day spiritual exercise. Students are urged, but of course not compelled, to receive Holy Communion at the concluding mass. Yet almost 95% of the students receive. The one-day retreat, held in late September, helps prepare students for the rigors of the school year ahead. Rev. John F. Hardy, C.M., here admonishes a receptive audience. 33 When we first gathered at Villanova in Sep- tember, 1951, we were more than 500 strong, the largest Freshman class in the college's his- tory. We felt dazed and lost among hordes of fellow Villanovans. To the upperclassmen, particularly the sophomores charged with en- forcing the wearing of regs, we submitted patiently, although our victory in the Muff Day competition brought an early end to orienta- , tion. After this, we rapidly assumed our place in campus life, and at the end of the year | elected Frank Licopoli, Class President; Tom Ulrich. Vice-President; Tom McCarthy, Secre- tary; Don McGahan, Treasurer, and sent Jim Ennis, Bill Kohler and John Loggi to the Student Council. In September we returned as sophomores, wise in the ways of Villanova life and privileged to direct the orientation of another crop of be- wildered freshmen. Our first dance, the Soph | Cotillion, under the leadership of Bud Ford, drew a banner crowd of 600 couples. WHO’S WHO? These gentlomon received the honor of being selected by their fellow students end the administration as the members of the class of 1955 to represent Villanova University in the National Collegiate Who's Who. Because of their excellence in the academic field, superiority in extra-curricular leadership and high regard for Catholic ideals. Ihey have earned the right to this position of respect. Seated on floor: John U. Potors, Francis X. Killmond, Francis A. Gunther, Michael S. Polgar, Patrick J. Buttar- azzi and Joseph M. Blimm. Seated: Mark McCormick, George M. Kuhn, William E. Kohler, William S. Ford, Francis L. Licopoli, Thomas R. Ulrich and Edward J. Clarkson. Standing: Edwin K. Daly, Hugh C. Humphreys. H. Rees James, Donald R. McGahan, Jasper J. Collura, James P. Wrzesinski, George V. Gorham, Thomas J. Mentzer, Bernard A. Coyne, William J. Quinn and Richard N. Winfield. As the year drewto a close, we elected a slate of officers to direct us during the event-crowded Junior year. Those selected were: President, Bernie Finan; Vice-President, Ted Clarkson; Sec- retary, Bud Ford; Treasurer, Frank Baker, and Student Council, Don McGahan, Jack Devine, and Joe Welsh. Once back at Villanova in the fall we began work on the numerous activities of our Junior year. The annual outing and Charity Ball, held for the benefit of the St. John's orphans under the co-chairmanship of Don McGahan and Lou Fournier, met with enthusiastic support. In the meantime, an event of the greatest importance to all of us took place. On Novem- ber 18, 1954, Villanova became a University. Our school rings, secured for us by Ring Chair- man Bill Kohler, were the first to bear the new title. Filled with increased pride in our school, we went on to an unforgettable Junior Week. Be- ginning with Mother's Day, some 300 of us brought our mothers to enjoy the activities scheduled by Chairman Ted Clarkson. Clad in the blazers obtained through the efforts of Blazer Chairman Tom Ulrich, we danced at the Blazer Ball to the music of Charlie Gresh, who had been obtained for us by Chair- man Bob Meyers. Then followed a memorable Junior Weekend. More than 300 couples enjoyed the Junior Prom on Friday night, when Johnny Long's excellent music brought to a climax months of long,patient work by Chairman Bud Ford. Bringing the week to a thoroughly successful close was the Junior Dinner Dance on Saturday night. Tony Desmond played to over 250 couples brought together at the Penn-Sherwood 36 Hotel through the efforts of Chairman Frank Gunther. Once again election time came, and we elected a new set of class officers. Bud Ford was elected President; Frank Baker, Vice-Presi- dent; Frank Gunther, Secretary; Pat Buttarrazzi, Treasurer; Jim Borden, Alumni Representative, and Dick Winfield. Frank Licopoli, George Kuhn, Bill Quinn, Henry Greenholgh and Ted Clarkson were sent to the Student Council. Back from our last summer vacation, we be- gan our senior year. The final class dances of our Villanova career came in November with Senior Weekend. The Belle Air Ball, held under the co-chairmanship of Bernie Finan and Hugh Humphreys, was one of the most enjoyable in history. The following evening, we donned our tuxedos again to attend the Senior Dinner Dance, held at the Walt Whitman under the direction of Ted Clarkson. After the end of the Weekend, time flew rapidly by, and we soon realized with a shock that our days at Villanova were numbered. Rev. Edwin T. Grimes, O.S.A., Moderator of the Class of 1955 is a man who needs no introduction. We have known him as Professor of History, Collogo Chaplain, and Prefect of Simpson Hall, but above all as a real friend who's sincere and constant interest in every indi- vidual student has endeared him to all of us. Bernie Finan—president of the class in Jun- ior year, and Frank Licopoli—president in Sophomore year were responsible for the success of the Seniors in the past. Father Grimes and one of his students chat over a minor problem. In fact, no problem is ever too small for him because he makes the problems of his boys his own. 37 Bud Ford's ploasant personality and active in- terest in class affairs plus his capable chairman- ship of the Sophomore Cotillion and Junior Prom won for him sufficient votes to be elected Presi- dent of the Senior Class. The Senior Steering Committee is a select group of outstanding men who make decisions and form policies for the class as representatives of the majority. BY THE PEOPLE Frank Baker, a successful politician from Brooklyn, advanced from Treasurer of the Junior Class to Vice-President of the Senior Class. Frank Gunther, Editor of the Belle Air and Chairman of the highly successful Junior Dinner Dance, was elected Class Secretary. A newcomer to the field of politics, Pat Buttarazzi, biology major from Rochester, was voted into the office of Treasurer. 39 It has not been all work and no play during our four years at Villanova. We have enjoyed countless wonderful moments which will often be re- called to us during the coming years. Our proms, dinner dances, informal gatherings. Mother's Day. and other various social functions have brought us closer to each other and have imprinted lasting memories of our happy times together on our now well-educated minds. JUNIOR WEEK The most outstanding social function of our four years was of course Junior Week. The week got off to a memorable start with a very successful Mother’s Day under the chairmanship of Ted Clarkson. The day officially began with the offering of the Holy Sacrifice of tho Mass by Father Grimes. The events following Mass were tho annual tree planting ceremony, luncheon, band concert and Diaper Dan contest followed by Benediction at the outdoor altar. The day concluded with a banquet in the Field House. On Wednesday night we joined Chairman Bob Meyer in danc- ing to the music of Charlie Gresh at the Blazer Ball. Before Mass we gave Mom a corsage and affer it we were both entertained by the Special Junior Week Villanovan. That’s my boy. Two mothers pick up baby pictures of their sons which they entered in the Diaper Dan Contest. Then we watched Father Grimes, Bernie Finan and his mother plant the tree for our class in back of the Chapel. We all enjoyed the light informal air of the Blazer Ball. How could it have been otherwise with such pleasant company? 42 Over the years Junior Week at Villanova has received more and more notice as an outstanding college social event. Here Miss Npel Ricca of Baldwin, Long Island, chats with Junior Class President Bernard Finan. 43 The Princesses of the Puecn's Court looked on as Miss Mary Inez Connell became Queen of Junior Week when band leader Johnny Long placed a floral crown on her head the evening of the Junior Prom. JUNIOR PROM The night of nights finally arrived. On Friday evening we treated our best girls to an Evening on the Riviera, featuring the soft and melodious music of Johnny Long. Decorations Co-Chairmen Hugh Humphreys and Rees James,working together with Prom Chairman Bud Ford,did a tremendous job in transforming the Field House into a large boulevard in one of the resort towns along the Riviera with the moonlit Mediterranean behind the band and subtle lighting adding the final illusion. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of Mickey Connell as Queen of Junior Week by band- leader Johnny Long. Queen Mickey and her escort Hank Smith dance the Royal Waltz as part of the festive ceremony attached to her title. Her reign was one short week of merriment and joy. Beautiful ladies in delightful gowns decorated with multi-colored flowers whirling to soft melodies with Villanova men made the Junior Prom really seem like an Evening on the Riviera. The French street scene motif with its shops and outdoor cafes created an unusual atmosphere of abandon. 45 Father Burke, Registrar of the University, took after dinner honors with a joke which amused the entire crowd of Juniors and their dates enjoying them- selves at the Penn Sherwood. Not the Gourmets Club ... Yet the excellent serv- ice and fine food at the Junior Dinner Dance would have satisfied the discriminating taste of any Epi- curean. All the men of the Class of 1955 agree that the Junior Dinner Dance was the outstanding social event during their four years at Villanova. The dinner arranged at the Penn Sherwood by Chairman Frank Gunther, plus Tony Des- mond's interpretation of the music they wanted to hear brought an unforgettable week to a close. DINE AND DANCE If I could get attention like this from my girl, I'd wrap hor up in cellophane and keep her that way. Really? Why, honey chile, I had no idea that you felt so friendly toward little ol' me. Do go on. There is nothing like roast turkey, pleasant conversation, and music in the background to bring pleasure to a man's heart and fill him with cheer. SENIOR PROM formal or not it’s a memorable night Amidst the atmosphere of a gay Carnival spirit, members of the class of 1955 began their last social function—Senior Weekend —at the Belle Air Ball on Friday evening, November 19. Co-Chairmen Hugh Hum- phreys and Bernie Finan came up with a real find in-the very danceable and uninterrupted music of Lester Lanin, while decorations co-chairman Jack Pettit and Duke Micone did a tremendous job in transforming the Field House into a place filled with love and laughter, a real live carnival. And we danced, danced, danced! Friend Jim looks as if he'd enjoy sifting the next one out. Not his vivacious partner! She's ready for a Charleston! The theme for the Senior Prom was Carnival, and here one of the fairer guests inspects part of the decorations, a huge ferris wheel erected in the Field House. But dearie, you should have heard the next thing she said! Our salute to the men who watch and wait! urn mite M •! ihH:' • rt um ii � � ' • ARTS Father Robert M. Sullivan, O.S.A., is per- haps as well-known on the campus for his fine Irish tenor as he is for his interest in Shakespearean writings. To the members of the Arts and Science School, Father is the guiding hand behind their quest for knowledge. His office in Mendel Hall is open during the day to all students who wish to discuss how they may best acquire a knowledge of the Arts. Amidst the present clamor for specialization in purely practical fields we find the Arts and Science School. It is dedicated primarily to producing the well-rounded gentiemen, the scientists and scholars of tomorrow. SCIENCE ANTHONY B.

After dinner, Chairman Ted Clarkson introduced our beloved moderator, Father Grimes, who expressed his sincere grati- tude to all those who had helped to make the class of 1955 one he was proud of and he wished everyone future suc- cess and happiness. After the main ballroom had been cleared of tables we enjoyed a very relaxing evening of dancing to the music of the Rhythmaires. Thus, four wonderful years of social life came to an end. Eavesdropping, though socially incorrect, might make us a part of an interesting conversation between Father Grimes and his dinner com panion. We stop for a slight pause in the foyer, amidst the excitement proceeding an anticipated suc- cess of this happy occasion! Fine food and delightful con- versation highlighted an eve- ning, the memory of which will long be shared by the Seniors and their lovely ladies. ANTHONY B.

Villanova Un iversity 67 DELTA PI MU The membership of the Delta Pi Mu Fra- ternity is composed of students of the Arts and Education schools and Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Social Study majors. The purpose of the fraternity is twofold: to bind members culturally and socially, and to supple- ment their cultural background. First founded in 1902, the Delta Pi Mu has become an integral part of life at Villanova. At the present time it numbers close to ninety active members and the membership is growing rapidly. The fraternity meets at least once a month. Members of Delta Pi Mu gather around Chairman Owen Hickey to sec a sneak preview of their new Frat pins. Delta Pi Mu senior members: Frederick Astore, Joseph Blimm, James Borden, Robert Brown. Patrick Buttarazzi, Daniel Cahalane, Bernard Coyne, Edwin Daly, John De- Remigis, Bernard Finan, Theodore Forhocz. Frank Gun- ther. Joseph Hagan, Andrew Higgins, Hugh Humphreys, Edward Jaccoma, Edward Karkut, Patrick Kean, John Kilker, William Linthurst, Steve Lyons, Donald McGahan, Thomas Mentzer, Patrick Nolan, John O’Neill, John Pettit, Keneth Pyle, William Quinn, Richard Segrave Daly, Nicholas Schiarappa, Basil Sullivan, James Sulli- van, Peter Tulli and Richard Winfield. OFFICERS (From left to right) Tom Mcntzer, Student Council Rep- resentative; Harry Nash, Vice-President: John DcRcmi- gis, President; Joe Blimm, Treasurer; and Frank Adams, Secretary. Now in its second year of existence at Vil- lanova, the campus chapter of Delta Epsilon Sigma lends recognition to the outstanding seniors in the Arts and Science school. A na- tional scholastic honor society for students and graduates of Catholic colleges and universities, it was constituted to give encouragement to scholarship among students. The Mathematics Club, in existence since 1938, is under the able direction of Mr. Emil Amelotti. The purpose of the club is to study all forms of higher mathematics, particularly those phases generally outside the realm of the classroom. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Members of the class of 1955 who were nominated for Delta Epsilon Sigma by a faculty committee on the bases of scholarship and a critical evaluation project arc: Seated: Gae- tano Gumina, Mark McCormick, Josoph Blimm. Standing: Robert Chmielowski, John McGrath, Jack Gilligan, James Sullivan, Jasper Collura, Edwin Daly, Patrick Nolan, Patrick Buttarazi, Rich- ard Winfield, Thomas Mentzor, and Kenneth Pyle. Nominated but not pictured are: John Lee, Joseph Mc- Laughlin, and Donald McGahan. MATH CLUB President Frank Orlando and Vice- President Bill Oberle successfully guided the club through a very inter- esting and active year. PHYSICS CLUB OFFICERS President ...... David Vachon Secretary . Charles Schwcrdtfegcr Treasurer Edward Lynch Freshman Representative, David Dalva Senior members—P. David Vachon, Edward Zahorslcy. Underclass mem- bers—Daniel Bartolini, John Chabay, Francis Ciafrani, John Craine, David Dalva, Thomas Decker, Edward Lizut, Edward Lynch, William Meenahan, Ed- ward Meyer, Raymond Muench, An- golo Pastore, Karl Scheetz, Richard Schleicher, C. F. Schwerdtfeger, James Shea, Francis Sickleton, Jack Solarski, Frank Thornton, Walter Winoski. This year found the Physics Club of Villa- nova being rewarded with a seat on the Student Council. This step came as full recognition of the fact that the Physics Club is one of the fastest growing and more energetic groups on campus. The club is designed as a medium through which students of physics and related fields may aid each other in development of their knowledge of and ability in physics. Secondarily, the club is designed for social activities. 71 KAPPA PHI KAPPA Kappa Phi Kappa is a national professional fraternity in Education. Its purpose is to dis- cover and bring into fraternal association, early in their professional training, those who will pre- pare for and accept the responsibilities of leadership in the great task of educating the youth of America. The fraternity's progress revolves around dis- cussions of the latest teaching methods and techniques. Outstanding men in the field of education arc invited to speak at its meetings and much is gained by the prospective teacher. Officers of the Kappa Phi Kappa and their moderator Dr. Leo F. Brown, Ph.D., gather around their President Edward Torrance. Senior members of the Kappa Phi Kappa: W. Boll. J. Curry, J. Faz- zini, J. Hagan, R. Hepburn, F. Ke- hoe, and E. Torrance. 72 Officers of the Lambda Kappa Delta are: Tom Gumina, President; Dom Ro- sato, Vice-President; Floyd Nasuti, Sec- retary; Harry Sweeney, Treasurer; Charles Gibley, Student Council Rep- resentative. Mr. Joseph J. Gilligan is moderator of the fraternity. Senior Members of the Lambda Kappa Delta: F. Altomare, K. Blanc. P. Buttar- azzi, R. Chmiclewski, R. Emery, N. Filannino, G. Gumina, L. Hagan, A. LoBianco, J. Peters, J. Shallow, W. Sig- alove, J. Sullivan, H. Sweeney. LAMBDA KAPPA DELTA Although membership is open to all members of the school of Science, most of the present 95 members of the Lambda Kappa Delta are pre- medical students. The fraternity has a threefold purpose: first—to create a bond of fraternity among those students aspiring to a medical career or to careers in allied medical sciences: secondly—to sustain and promote the highest ideals and traditions of the medical arts and sciences, and finally to be an active instrument for the promotion of the best interests of its members. In the way of activities, the fraternity sponsored a communion breakfast on December 5 and a dinner dance in the spring. Prominent physicians in various fields of medicine spoke at the monthly meetings. 73 FACT AND Editor-in-chief Bob Chmielewski holds an informal discussion with the Editorial staff which is composed of Harry Sweeney, Jim Sullivan, and Gaetano Gumina. THE MENDEL BULLETIN The first issue of the Mendel Bulletin was pub- lished twenty-five years ago. The intention of the publication, appropriately titled in commemora- tion of the Father of Heredity, Gregor Johann Men- del, O.S.A., is to present for general scrutiny, mod- ern developments in the scientific fields and by thus considering them, stimulate interest in general sci- entific knowledge. Dr. John A. McClain is the moderator. Senior members of the Mendel Bulletin: F. Altomare, K. Blanc, R. Chmielewski, G. Gumina, J. Hagan, A. Lobianco, J. Peters, J. Shal- low, W. Sigalove, J. Sullivan, H. Sweeney, P. Vachon. | FICTION Now just where did I put that file? ponders the hardworking Editor of the Lynx, Roes James, who is worried about the approaching deadline. Ed Karkut, John Cassidy, Associate Editor, and John De- Remigis seem to be well pleased with the way things are going. THE LYNX The Lynx, Villanova's literary quarterly, is the outlet for the cre- ative talents of the University students in the fields of poetry, the essay and the short story. Editor Rees James has utilized the wealth of talented writers developed in the many excellent English courses offered at the University to publish a magazine which adheres to the high literary goals of the moderators, Mr. Mitchell and Dr. Phillipson. Members of the staff give their strict, though somewhat amused attention to Copy Editor, Joe Blimm, as he points out a few last minute changes he made before the last issue of the Lynx went to press. The year 1918 saw the University Engineering School, already twelve years old, take on its present form. At that time chemical engineering was added to the curriculum of mechanical and electrical engineering. It was the first school of its kind to be founded at an eastern Catholic institution. Since that time the Engineering School has grown to its present status as one of the leaders in its field. Under the able guidance of Dean J. Stanley Morehouse, the school has been expanded in both equipment and enrollment. More than anything else, the student engineer needs modern, intricate ma- chinery with which to work, experiment and learn. Tho University's outstanding En- gineering School is well cquippod to permit its undergraduates the widest latitude in their research projects.

Chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers conductsbi-monthly meetings and on such occa- sions plans tours to plants, building projects, and dis- cusses recent advances in constructional and operational methods. Quite frequently outstanding laymen are in- vited to address the group. These activities give the student civil engineer a chance to look over the specialized field in which he is interested and the problems and benefits which are connected with it. A. S. C. E.

The objectives of the Villanova Chem- ical Society are to present to the stu- dent chemists an opportunity to discuss current problems among themselves and to further their knowledge in the fields of Chemical Science today. The men who make the society click are from left to right: John Gilligan, President; Dr. Koob, Moderator, and Bob Fredericks, Vice-President. The Student Chapter for the American Chemical Society which is open to all students interested in chemistry, was guided through a successful year by Dr. Robert P. Koob. Originally associated with the campus branch of the Ameri- can Institute of Chemical Engineers, the group became independent in 1951 and since then has undertaken its own program. The main purpose for doing this was to allow the formation of a more closely-knit group which would better serve the interests of the students interested in the non-engineering branches of the chemical sci- ences. Field trips to the industrial companies in this area, lectures, demonstrations, and the presen- tation of technical films on chemical subjects are the main activities of the group. 88 Although membership is reserved to the upper three classes, the student chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers is one of the largest professional engineering groups on campus. Guest speakers often ap- pear at the bi-monthly meetings of the society to discuss current problems in the fields of industry pertaining to the mechanical engineer. Besides these speakers, round-table discussions and informative motion pictures are often fea- tured at these meetings. The group also spon- sors several field trips which take the members right to the scene of activity where they can get a close-up view of what is in store for them. The Villanova chapter is always well represented in the activities of the parent society. A.S.M.E. Under the guidance of moderator, Mr. Joseph C. Greyson, the Society had a very busy and profitable year. From left to right are Stan Rodkin, Treasurer of the Society; Bob Erskine, President, and George Minser, Vice-President. A.S.M.E. R.

The Student Chapter of the American Insti- tute of Chemical Engineers at Villanova carries on an extensive program the year round. The purpose of the program is to acquaint Chemical Engineering students with the various divisions and the branches of Chemical Engineering open to them as a career. Among the many activities undertaken are the viewing of a series of movies coinciding with and supplementing the courses of study being given to the students at the time, and frequent lectures by guest speakers, who are familiar with the various branches of Chemical Engineering open to the prospective graduate. Similar to the other Engineering groups, the Society makes several field trips during the year to the many nearby plants. Their trips are planned to educate the students as well as entertain them. A.I.Ch.E. Senior members: James A. Boyle, Ed- win J. Bonner, Charles K. Claunch, Leon Kazmicrczak, Ignatius bo, Thomas J. Malinoski, Thomas H. McGrath, Thomas F. O'Brien. The joint Student Chapter of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and Institute of Radio Engineers represents one of the smallest but definitely one of the most active profes- sional engineering organizations on campus. The objectives of the organization are the advancement of the theory and practice of elec- trical engineering, the maintenance of profes- sional standards, and the development of the individual engineer both socially and academ- ically. The Society accomplishes these objectives through frequent meetings featuring guest speakers from industry, field trips, and active participation in the Philadelphia parent group's functions. The A.I.E.E.-I.R.E. is under the guidance of Mr. John B. Clothier and the Rev. John A. Klckotka. The Society has flourished success- fully under their auspices for several years, and has just completed one of its most active years. A.I.E.E.-I.R.E. Officers of the combined group of the American Institute of Electrical En- gineers and the Institute of Radio En- gineers pause for a few minutes of fresh air in front of Mendel Hall.

Originally instituted as a work of the Phi Kappa Pi engineering fraternity, the magazine is now the literary outlet for the students of the entire School of Engineering. Capably edited by Dick Spangenberg and mod- erated by Rev. John J. Vrana, O.S.A., the Villanova Engineer has carried the name of the University and the talent of its undergraduates to many sec- tions of the country. A familiar namo to engineering students, and to all those who have been associated with the magazine in the past four years, is that of Richard J. Spangenberg, Editor-in- Chief. Tho Chief in any publication always has the last word even though staff members may argue a point ad infinitum. In the picture below, Dick Spangenburg indicates a must to his editors. Richard J. Spangenberg Editor Jake Clancy Managing Editor John R. Essig Richard J. Schleicher John E. Gerrard Hugh A. Barnwell John J. Vrana, O.S.A. Theodore J. Kuliogowski Associate Editor Copy Editor Photography Editor Assistant Editor Circulation Manager Moderator Members of the staff congregate around Dick Schleicher, photography editor, to examine a few of his latest achievements. Activities such as the Engineer open a variety of fields for the under- graduate. The secret behind success in meet- ing deadlines seems to be a few people doing a lot of work in a little time. Pictured above are five engineers fulfilling these requi- sites. The entire staff of the Villanova Engineer is here seen in its office in the basement of Mendel Hall. PHI KAPPA PI Villanova's Engineering fraternity enjoyed its most successful year in history under the guidance of its moderator Rev. John A. Klekotka. Strictly a social fraternity, the Phi Kappa held several smokers and conducted its own bowling league under the supervision of Jim Wrzesenski. Its bi-monthly meet- ings were always well attended. The annual Owl Hop, sponsored by the fraternity and under the chairmanship of Jack Joyce drew a record-breaking 700 couples into the Field House. Membership in the fraternity is open to all the students in the Engineering School. Senior Members of Phi Kappa Pi: R. Becker, A. Brennan, A. Calzadilla, J. Crowley, D. Damiano, G. Donato, J.

As usual the in- formal dance was a tremendous success. We’ve been told that this isn't half so bad as it may look. This picture was taken during the fraternity's annual initiation ceremony and it shows one of the young pledges learning some sort of Physics law the hard way. 95 COMMERCE Rev. Joseph C. Bartley, O.S.A., has guided the administration of the Commerce and Finance School with impressive results. Father Bartley (below and left) has held the office of Dean since the school accepted its first class in 1922. Miss Katherine Kelly is probably the person most familiar to the students of the Commerce and Finance School. She is the guiding factor in their guest for business knowledge and acumen. She is shown here (right) in a moment of relaxation in her office in the Commerce and Finance building. The school is located at the eastern end of ttie campus. It has consistently registered the largest enrollment of all the schools of the University. It has achieved national recognition in its courses of Accounting, Finance, Marketing and Pre-Law and is one of Villanova's outstanding assets. FINANCE Class of 1955 ALBERT P.

Class of 1955 DELTA PI EPSILON Senior members of the Delta Pi Epsilon Fraternity: Frank Baker, James Carmody, Richard Confoy, Joseph Coggins, Bill Cunningham, James Campbell, John Fitzpatrick, Lou Fournier, Emilio Guida, Tom Keller, Leon Kraft, Eugene McDonald, Larry McGrath, Jack Malloy, Robert McDougal, Jim Mink, Bruce Stark, Tony Skorupski. Moderator of the Delta Pi Epsilon is Mr. Charles J. Vogan, an instructor in Business Administra- tion who has been teaching at Villanova since 1952. Officers of the Delta Pi Epsilon: Bruce Stark, Presi- dent; John Fitzpatrick, Social Treasurer; Tony Skorupski, Vice-President; and Jim Carmody, Sec- retary. The Commerce and Finance fraternity, Delta Pi Epsilon, dates back to the year 1922 when it was organized under the supervision of the pres- ent Dean of the School, Rev. Joseph Bartley, O.S.A. The purpose of the fraternity is to create a teeling of companionship among the members of the Commerce and Finance School by en- couraging them to take part in the various social and religious activities which it sponsors. Big Nick is making sure that his private entrance to Sullivan Hall is being given a thorough cleaning by his personal pledges. Members of the D.P.E. Pledge Committee get a free ride from a trio of their aspiring pledges. First organized in 1948, the Accounting So- ciety of Villanova has as its purpose the ac- quainting of Accounting majors with the problems and their solutions existing in the field today and also the opportunities open to them. A highlight of the monthly meetings are the addresses given by guest speakers from the leading accounting firms and large industrial concerns in this area. The Society's activities have helped the reputation Villanova enjoys as having a well-organized Accounting Depart- ment. A traditional event of the Society is the an- nual banquet at which a professor of the Com- merce and Finance school is honored. The So- ciety is moderated by Mr. George D. Chorba, an instructor in Business Administration. ACCOUNTING SOCIETY President Joseph Dorris pauses outside of the Library for a few words with Mr. George C. Chorba, Moderator of the Society. Senior members of the Accounting Society: F. Baker, F. Beigler, F. Bishop, S. Brzenk, J. Coggins, T. Conway, J. Cooney, F. Crimi, R. Crimi, J. Cur- van, J. Demaioribus, A. Dempsey, J.

MARKETING CLUB The Villanova Chapter of the American Marketing As- sociation was founded in 1951. Working in close harmony with the Philadelphia Chapter, the club aids the Marketing majors of the School of Commerce and Finance in keeping abreast of the latest developments in their prospective field. At the Club's monthly meetings, guest speakers give members a running account of the advances being made in the field and the prospects open to them. Technical films are sometimes presented which deal with their pres- ent academic studies. Many of the members subscribe to the Marketing Journal which is the primary source of information for their field. The Club moderator is Mr. Fredrick M. Burgess. Tom Keller, a Senior from Larchmont, N. Y., was elected President of the Marketing Club this year, and succeeded in bringing the organization to a new high in membership. The Senior members of the Marketing Club: R. Bealer, D. Cook, G. Le Laguardia, E. De Sipio, J. Doherty, T. Farragher, N. Feldpush, J. Funk, R. Gard'll, G. Gothier, W. Hart, T. Keller, President, E.

Nursing education is not an innovation on the campus. As early as 1932, tho University was helping nurses earn a baccalaureate degree by offering courses which would meet their specific needs as well as the academic and cultural subjects required for graduation. In 1951, two qualified registered nurses, one from each of the two communities of sisterhoods who maintain the five Catholic hospitals with schools of nursing in Philadelphia, came to Villanova with the express purpose of instituting a program for high school graduates desirous of gaining a nursing edu- cation. As a result of their efforts, in the fall of 1953 Villanova welcomed its first class of nurses. Tho Faculty Coordinator of the Nursing Division, Father John A. Klekotka, O.S.A. Precision, skill and timing are es- sential to the world of nursing. Here two sophomore nursing stu- dents have those points illustrated as they compile laboratory data. 126 Intent on her work, Lucille Bell, freshman nursing student from Nutley, New Jersey, learns the fine art of filling a hypodermic needle. Actual hospital work is integrated in the nursing educa- tion at Villanova. Sister Mary Alma, S.M., R.N.M.A., Dean, Nursing. Sister Mary Margarella, O.S.F., R.N.M.S., As- sistant to the Dean, Nursing. A group of the Nursing students take ad- vantage of their student lounge in Austin Hall for relaxation between classes.

Sophomore hostesses from the Division of Nursing welcome the ladies of the Class of 1958 to their new life as Villanova Uni- versity coeds. 129 Doan Harold Gill Reuschlein is as noted for his doop interest in every phase of Villanova life as he is for his excellence in Law. He is here shown in his office in the library. LAW SCHOOL In its second year, Villanova University Law School has already made its impression in the area. With a freshman class of seventy last year the Law School became active in the library and its moot court team gained second place in competition this year. At present the offices and classes of the school are housed in the library building. A separate law library is maintained within the building. The plans displayed at the Develop- ment Fund banquet disclosed that plans have already been sketched for the construction of a separate building for the Law School. It is the only full-time law school on a Catho- lic campus in Pennsylvania. 130 James Garland, sophomore Law student from Baltimore, Maryland, makes a point during a Moot Court competition on campus. A law student delves into additional research work in the Law library. Housed in the Uni- versity library, the Law School, under present development plans, will eventually have a separate building on campus. Arthur Flores speaks as James Garland and Robert Gabarino compare notes as they rep- resent the Law School in a four-way Moot Court competition with Pittsburgh, Penn and Temple. 131 After securing this picture, our photographer turned in his used flash bulbs and attempted to sign up for the course. As they go to their classes, three studonts of the night school discuss their impending final exams. The night school draws students from all points in the metropolitan area. NIGHT SCHOOL Miss Patricia Gallagher, secretary to the Dean, helps Bernie Dunne solve some of his academic problems in the office in Mendel Hall. Lights can be seen late at night in the campus class rooms as a result of the work done in the evening school. Classes are conducted during the week for those people desiring increased knowledge in a variety of fields. The students comprising the evening school ore from many walks of life; housewives, school teachers, and graduate students are included in its enrollment. Some attend to learn specified skills and others merely because of that unquenchable thirst for knowledge. The faculty is comprised primarily of under- graduate-school professors at the University. Some students of the undergraduate school also enroll in evening courses to augment their col- lege careers. The evening school is now an in- tegral part of the University. 132 Mr. Powers, Dean of the rapidly-expanding evening school, has shown himself to be a congenial and capable adminis- trator. The Dean is a familiar figure in Mendel Hall cor- ridors since his duties usually demand that his office be used exclusively for appointments. Dr. Klein, Mr. Fischer and Mr. Houde dis- cuss their evening school schedules in the Dean's office. A number of University in- structors teach also in the evening school. 133 Relaxed both in a cool, cord summer suit and in posture, an instructor in the extension school tor summer students attempts to relieve the heat with a humorous anecdote. Small classes such as this enhance the value of the sum- mer school courses a great deal. SUMMER SCHOOL Yet another aspect of the University is her extension school for summer and part-time stu- dents. The program was begun in 1919, and it now conducts classes at Hallahan High School in Philadelphia as v ell as on the Main Line campus. In recent years the summer school has been greatly expanded to fulfill the needs of its growing enrollment. In addition to offering courses desired by the regular University under- graduates for supplementary work, the summer school conducts graduate work in certain sub- jects. Nuns from all parts of the metro- politan area of Philadelphia at- tend classes at Villanova during the summer. Part of the atten- dance here is made up of students who wish to supplement their reg- ular curricular with added courses, while these nuns here shown board- ing a bus are seeking further degrees. Father Joseph I. Boyle takes a pensive break from his office work in Mendel Hall. Dean of the Summer School, Father Boyle's administrative duties keep him busy the year round. Just as it is during the winter months, the library is the center of campus activity during the warm, sunny days of summer. Summer School enrollment is comprised princi- pally of clerical students, but the secular enrollment has been growing steadily from year to year. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Captain Martin Gillan (second from the left), director of the Research and Develop- ment Division of the University, and Joseph Greyson, a Villanova professor who assists him (extreme right), arc here seen in one of the fundamentals of their work. The other men are representatives of an industrial concern, typical of the many who come to Villanova to discuss their production problems with the board. They seek better methods as a result of work done in Villanova laboratories. One of the least-known institutions which go to make up the University is the Research and Development Division. Galberry Hall, the building which houses its offices, is seldom visited by the undergraduate student. A fairly recent addition to the campus, the division was inaugurated by the Rev. Francis X. N. McGuire, O.S.A. Most of the work was done in the University buildings proper until in 1952 the offices were moved to Galberry Hall located on the extreme eastern end of the campus. The specific work of the division is kept secret, hence the ordinary student’s lack of familiarity with its operation. Since its inception six years ago, the divison has completed over 75 projects for the Federal Government and for private industry. The results of such work arc concerned with government secrets and private patents, and for security reasons the accomplishments of the men of Galberry Hall must remain unknown to the student. Students participate in the investigatory work only in a few instances. The bulk of the experiments are conducted by the professors in the University laboratories. Their success carries the name of Villanova to all sections of the country and helps to create for her undergraduates a warm reception in the business world. 136 The work of the Research and Development program entails many hours of blue print study. The composition of this is done by University professors aided at times by undergraduates. Depicted above studying some recent drawings are Father John J. Vrana. O.S.A., Professor of Mechanical Engineering; Martin J. Gillan, Jr.. Pro- fessor of Electrical Engineering, and Joseph C. Greyson, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering. Father Vrana and a University student work on suggested plans in Galberry Hall, the building which houses the Research and Development program. Much of the tech- nical work of the program is conducted in the campus laboratories, and the final blue- prints and recommendations are stored in the file cabinets of Galberry Hall. 137 Balance is the distinctive attribute of the well educated man. Every aspoct of Villanova life is channeled to give the university student the opportunity to attain this balance. His religious, academic and social maturation are an integral part of every day from the time he matriculates. In addition to all this he may accept the challenge of extra-curricular activities in any one of the many fields open to him at Villanova. O the MEDIATORS The Student Council is the University’s sole student government body, serving as a coor- dinating and advisory body for the classes, ex- tra-curricular organizations, and publications on campus. It also functions as a sounding board for student opinion and reflects this opinion to the proper University administrators through its delegates on the Student-Faculty Committee. In this light the Council is the liaison between the student and the University officials. This year the Council supervised the Septem- ber Freshman Orientation Program, sponsored a most successful blood donation drive with the Red Cross, and won increased powers to assign social probation to minor violators of University regulations. Responsible for the achievements of the Council is the quality of the men whom the student body elected to represent it. Almost half of the seniors on the Council were listed in the 1955 Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. And three rep- resentatives regularly attain perfect academic averages. Full-vote class representatives include: Frank Adams, John Downing, John Salvo, Robert Fredericks, seated; Harry Nash, Richard Peer, Henry Martin, Robert Ford, Henry Greenhalgh, Robert Kuhn, first row; Edward Clarkson, Henry Whelan, John O'Rourke, Frank Licopoli, William Quinn, Richard Hepburn, and Joseph Welsh, second row.

Now comprising the old Schola Cantorum and the Glee Club, the Villanova Singers perform weekly at evening Chapel Service. The man most responsible for the formation and success of the Villanova Singers is their moderator, Dr. Harold G. Reuschlein, Dean of the Law School. Senior Members: Michael Barry, Joseph M. Blimm, Robert M. Brown, Patrick Buttarazzi, Daniel Ca- halane, Louis A. Cassella, John J. DeRemigis, Ber- nard Pinan, Edward Jaccoma, Edmund Karkut, Fran- cis X. Killmond, Paul Landau, Matthew Leib. The Villanova Singers raise their voicos in song un- der the direction of Dean Reuschlein at a concert held for the students of Immaculata College. Officers: Librarian, John Janucci; Secretary, Robert Ford; Student Council Representative, Paul Landau; President, Conrad Urban. VILLANOVA SINGERS Success means hard work and here we see the Singers doing just that, under the criti- cal eye of Dean Reuschlein. The organization was formed this past year by merging the functions of the defunct Glee Club (secular music), with those of the Schola Cantorum (sacred music). The purpose is to afford undergraduates the opportunity of participation in choral singing. Its activities include choir for chapel, once weekly; music for special masses during Junior Week and Holy Week; repertoire of secular music for various public appearances throughout the year.

Even Price (Drew Higgins), the real traitor, is in the dark. The Belle Masque Drama Society enjoyed one of its most successful seasons this past year. Stalag 17, the biggest comedy hit in the history of the Villanova theatre played to a packed house. This was followed in the fall with another excel- lent all male drama Command Decision. Rev. William Krupa, O.S.A., now has Harvey, another award winning comedy, in rehearsal for production this spring. With Father Krupa as director that means another artistic and financial success. A bafh scene without glamor and yet one of the funniest bits of business ever done on a Belle Masque stage. Mike Clark is the butt of his com- rades taunts.

Although the first line of type was set only last January, it might be said that the 1955 Belle Air began its slow development back in September 1951 when that curious organ- ism, the class of 1955, was born. Since then, everything that the class has done and eve- rything that has happened at Villanova has helped shape this annual. It remained for a group of Seniors, led by Frank Gunther (in shirtsleeves on page 156) to compile, photo- graph, write, edit and present this story in the form of this publication.

This, combined with the well-known occupa- tional disease of all journalists, procrastination, made the hours before publisher's deadlines hectic ones. Here Bernie Coyne discusses late copy assignments with Bill Surrett, Bill Hansbury, Pete Loos, and Bob Strayton. Some 2600 copies of this annual went to the Villa- nova student body, advertisers, colleges on the ex- change list, and friends of the University. Bob Rock, second from right, and his circulation staff of Jim Ennis, Lou Kahl, and Jack Kelly arc responsible for distribution. Work continuos even when the chief, Frank Gunther, isn't around to supervise. Scene in the multi-purpose Belle Air office finds Pete Loos, Bernie Coyne, Arlone Ehlor, Dick Winfield, John DeRemigis, and Joanne In September, the Belle Air drew over two Lappin performing the mystic pre-publication rites. thousand to its High School Press Conference. The Belle Air office also serves as headquarters for Ted Clarkson, seated in foreground, and his corps of advertising space-sellers. They are Ed Fletcher, Dave Dalva, Jim Sexton, George Gorham, and Ed Klingcs. Advertising income defrays photography expense and pays for the annual staff get-together. Members of the Belle Air photography staff double in brass as press photographers for the Villanovan, the Engineer and the Lynx. Don Rabenda, seated left, is photography editor and is assisted by Dick Bclvoar, seated right, and Dick Schleicher, Sigmund Holtz, Steve Lyons, and Jack Monahan. The editorial we is a hackneyed by- word of journalism, often meaningless, and more often abused as a camouflage for virulent and highly personal opinions. But when a Belle Air journalist refers to our advertisers or writes we believe, he is paying more than obeisance to an old cus- tom; he is paying tribute to a fine bond of fellowship and devotion to work that has characterized the performances of the an- nual's editors and staffers. We hope that it has resulted in a superior publication. The Program Director, Don Alton, assists the Station Manager in the coordination of the various departments to keep oper- ation smooth and professional. Ed Shea and his staff tape a basketball game at the Palestra. These disc jockeys are the backbone of WVIL because the majority of program time is devoted to recorded music.

These are the men responsible for the excellent timing and balanced reception of the programs broadcast to the campus. The WVIL News and Sports Departments emphasize the Villanova angle when they broadcast and cover only material and international items of interest to the University student. Ray Muench, Jim McEowen, Bob Barth and Mike Polgar, Technical Engineers, keep WVIL on the air. Their big accomplishment this year was the installa- tion of the new coaxial cable system to the dorms. Businoss Manager Nick Mazzoni presents the first of the Dream Date transcriptions to Fred Onorato, Record Librarian under the new plan for maintaining operational costs through commercialization and sponsorship by national advertisers. 1955 was a year of progress for WVIL. It started with reorganization of the entire station into departments on the level of a professional radio station. Then came the expansion of air time from 16 hours, 5 days a week to 35 hours, 6 days a week. A new coaxial cable system was installed to guar- antee uniform reception in every dorm. For the first time in its history. WVIL went com- mercial and obtained advertisers through their national representative, College Radio Corporation. The staff was three times as large as it had ever been in the past. Free record deals were negotiated with almost all the large distributors: stationery and membership cards were bought. Then a new turntable, a new tape recorder and a mike were purchased. Arrangements have been made to obtain an AP teletype next year. Most important, WVIL has been guar- anteed excellent facilities for a new radio station in Dougherty Hall. THE STUDENT PRINTS Case studies of two college journalists: Edwin K. Daly, Jr., leaving the library with a smaller-than-average armload of books, is a brilliant student, a dedicated history scholar and one of Villanova's most loyal sons. He is the persuasive and conscientious editor-in-chief of the Villanovan. Harry C. Nash, III, is a mellow-voiced Southerner and a never-tiring devotee of extra-curricular activities. As President of the class of 1956, he led the Juniors to an eventful year. As managing editor of the Villanovan, he was Daly's right-hand man, handling technical details of publishing an exemplary college weekly.

Louis A. Rongione, O.S.A. At his right is Nick Pedano, circulation manager. The Villanovan has over 15,000 readers. About fifty undergraduates each week contrib- ute from one to fifty hours of work in publishing the Villanovan. There are no tangible rewards what- soever. What makes them lose sleep, meals, and study time to write copy, take pictures, paste mailing labels? For many it is the self satisfaction of seeing their names and outpourings in print. For others it is the association with what the Associated Collegiate Press judged last year to be one of the oustanding college newspapers in the country. But for all it is an instinctive desire to serve the college community through their creative talents which evokes such sacrifices. 164 News Editor Tom Smith, a sophomore, oversees news which appears weekly. Here he gives assignments to reporters Al Ciardi, Ed Shea, Pete Selensky and Jack Decker. Journalism, at best, is an unglamorous, shirtsleeves-and-ulcer pro- fession.

Bob Schiller and his band provided music for dancing and singing. N.F.C.C.S. The Villanova branch of the National Federa- tion of Catholic College Students enjoyed its biggest and most successful year on record. One of the chief aims of the organization is to aid less fortunate students by conduct- ing clothing drives and by raising money through a series of dances for foreign relief. Frequent joint meetings are held to discuss cam- pus problems as well as national topics. On Friday January 14, the Villanova group sponsored the tremendously successful Mardi Gras Ball. Much credit is due to Paul Donahue, the Chairman of the undertaking. BETA GAMMA DEBATING SOCIETY The Beta Gamma Debating Society has com- pleted its most successful of 27 seasons. Under the capable leadership of Joe Roddy, the soci- ety participated in seven tournaments. Several trips were made to visit colleges in the Baltimore, Washington, and New York areas. A full pro- gram of debates with local schools was success- fully incorporated into the remaining time. This year also saw them initiate a series of Radio Shows on WVIL. Left to right: Mr. Joseph T. Jonas, Moderator; Joe Roddy, President; George Minser, Vice-President; Jim Wrzesenski, Corresponding Secretary; Bill Eckenrode. Recording Secretary, and Mark McCormick, Treasurer. Members of the Society: Regina Troy, Rita Shigo, Nor- man Joseph Roddy, George Minser, Jim Welsh, Dan McCurley, Mark McCormick, Thomas Tuso, James Wrzesinski, George Sinnott, Bill Eckenrode, Dave Ogle, James Grady, Edward Russo, and Joseph Morris. Rev. Lorenzo Lozano, Moderator of the Spanish Club, is pictured with Vice-President Carlos Toro, Treasurer Peter Alberse, and Secretary Manuel Carvajal. SPANISH CLUB The Spanish Club has the distinction of being the largest organization on campus. Its activities, both social and cultural, aid the members in gaining a more meaningful appreciation of the Spanish language. Throughout the year the Club sponsors a series of colorful gatherings at which time music, movies, refreshments, and sometimes guest speakers are provided. A Junior in the school of Com- merce and Finance, Carlos Condc is serving his second straight year as president of the Spanish Club. Seniors members of the Spanish Club: E. D'Alesio, G. deLa Guar- dia, J. Dipasquale. T. Farragher, R. Gardill, C. Hoffner, P.'Kean, J. McGrath, J. Naughton, J. Nerelli, D. Passarelli, R. Rivera, J. Saldutti, D. Sansone, R. Savarese, C. Sbar- boro, J. Thompson, and W. Wing- ertzahn. SANCTUARY SOCIETY The Society is composed of approximately eighty members. About sixty of these members are active. By active is meant they know how to serve and they participate in the many acivities of the Society. The Society is probably the only one of its type on campus. The members get no glory or campus recognition, but donate their time solely for their own good and God's glory. They are most in evidence to the eyes of the student body during the annual Retreat days, when a select corps of members is extremely busy helping the Chaplain in the smooth conduct of carrying out the Retreat schedule. Activities of the Society include serving Mass and Bene- diction, distributing Chapel cards, assisting at the opening Mass, and assisting at the Pall and Spring retreats. Senior members of the Society are: Aiden Hatton, President; George Gorham, Vice-President; Thomas Ulrich, Secretary; James Wrzosenski, Edward Klein, Frank Licopoli, George Kuhn, Gerald Donnelly, William Cunningham, Steve Lyons, Ignatius Lo, Edward Zahorsky, and Donald Loos. President Aiden Hatton prepares for Chapel service which is only one of the many religious exercises at which the Sanc- tuary Society assists. Rev. Joseph Kemmc, University Chaplain, is moderator of the Sanctuary Society. One of the most active organizations on campus, the International Relations Society, has had speakers on cam- pus at every one of its monthly meetings. The guests have ranged from member of the British Parliament to Philadelphia barristers, speaking on a wide range of subjects of international interest from Anglo- American relations to the implications of the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials. In addition to this, the Society has sent delegates to numerous regional conferences in Philadelphia, a confer- ence at St. Peter's College in New Jersey and another at Notre Dame of Maryland in Baltimore. Field trips have also been run in conjunction with neighboring colleges to such places as the United Nations in New York and the State Department building in Washington, D. C. INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS SOCIETY Standing around Donald McGahan, Vice- President and William Quinn, President, are Edwin Daly, Activities Director; Francis Adams, Secretary-Treasurer; Richard Se- grave-Daly, Council Representative; and Patrick Kean, Publicity Director. Mr. Rofinot, faculty moderator, clari- fies a point with one of the members of the International Relations Society. Senior members of the society include J. Borden, R. Brown, J. Capellini, R. Casey, J. Collura. B. Coyne, E. Daly. G. de LaGuardia, J. Fazzini, B. Finan, T. Forhecz, F. Gunther. A. Higgins, H. Humphreys, P. Kean, F. Kehoe. D. Mc- Gahan (Vice-President), J. McLaughlin, T.

The moderator and the President of the Industrial Relations Club are Dr. Walter Klein and James Curry, a Senior from Cresson, Pennsylvania. Senior members include: Frank Baker, Bob Casey, Lou Casella, Treasurer; Joe Coggins, Joe Fazzine, Anthony Grega, Francis Kehoe, Jim Mink, Tom O'Donnell, Ken Pyle, Tom Quinlan, and Joe Roddy. I.R.C. Open to all members of the student body who are interested in the field of labor-management relations, the Industrial Relations Club was founded at Villanova in 1948. The group dis- cusses and attempts to solve the problems which arise in labor management relations in accord- ance v ith the teachings and rules laid down by the labor encyclicals. Experts in the field of labor often appear as guest speakers. I.C.G. One of the youngest, yet one of the fastest growing and more active programs on campus is the Intercollegiate Conference on Govern- ment. Founded as late as 1953 this group works hand in hand with the Regional Conference in carrying out a program intended to afford tho student an opportunity to gain a practical knowl- edge of government. The group attempts to combine education with social activity. Don Seaton, a Commerce and Finance student who hails from Florida, is Chairman of the I.C.G. Senior mem- bers of the Conference are Jim Bor- den, Pat Kean, Joe McLaughlin, Tom Mentzer, Treasurer; John O'Neill, Dan Passarelli, Ken Pyle, Vice-President, and Basil Sullivan. Dr. Fred J. Khouri is the Moderator. 171 MONOGRAM CLUB First established in 1953 the Monogram Club is restricted to those Varsity Athletes who have rightfully earned varsity letters. The officers of the club are Jack DeVine, President; Bill McGarry, Vice-President; Jack Peters, Sec- retary, and John Sullivan, Treas- urer. Rev. Edward B. McKee is the moderator. Senior members are John Giordano, Jack Helm, Dan Hurley, Joe Leitchtweis, Mike Mayock, Don Muchetti, Mike Potenza, Bob Schaefer, Dick Scott, Joe Vincento, Bill Rock, and Bill Pearson. the drums go bang!...

Burns, O.S.A., again in his role of moderator, the fifty-piece marching band appeared at only one football game in a limited home sched- ule. At the close of the football season, sophomore Bob Schiller succeeded Senior Frank Licopoli as student conductor. In De- cember the Concert Band went into re- hearsal for a series of programs in and around Philadelphia. Bobby Schiller, a sophomore from Malverne, L.I., is probably one of the best-known names on campus for his ability as a conductor as well as for his re- markable skill with a trumpet. Here he conducts the Concert Band. The Concert Band (below, right) equipped with fresh, new music played a schedule of eleven weekly concerts. Although predominantly a young group, this already fine aggregation shows promise of a bright future. Wait 'til next year! has been as common to the Belle Air of the past few years as it has been to the residents of Flatbush. We are not crying that old refrain this year because we can see little reason for playing down the achievements of the 1954-55 athletic program. We are proud of the contests lost and won and of the men who represented us in them. 174 Athletics Ambrose Bud Dudley, Athletic Director, surveys the fruits of his labors: 90,000 people see a Villanova football game. FOOTBALL Amidst much speculation, the Blue and White of Villanova opened their 61st season of football against the traditional Orange of Syracuse. Forti- fied by an entirely new coaching staff headed by former Penn star and Eagle backfield coach Frank Reagan, the Wildcats gave an indication of the things to come by jumping off to a 6 to 0 lead in the first half, only to end up on the wrong end of a 28 to 6 score. The lone score for the Cats came when Nelson Marshall recovered a fumble on the Syracuse 35- yard line and two plays later Al Ciarrochi sped twenty yards for the touchdown. After the half- time intermission, the Syracuse running attack got into high gear and completely outclassed the spir- ited but under-manned Villanova squad. Captain Mike Mayock leads the Villanova Wildcats onto the field to face Old Miss. John Giordano evades a tack ler and gains yardage for th Mainliners. A blank stare, a heartening shout, and a calm surveyance of the situation. These are the emotions on the Wildcat bench during a catastrophic moment of the Old Miss. game. The razzlc dazzle of the southern attack was too much for our charges and we suffered the humiliation of a 52-0 defeat. The sorrowful witnesses on the Villanova bench are John Giordano, Stan Brzenk and Jack Helm, all members of the Senior class. Rohach races for a gain of yards against Old Miss. Villanova Senior John Giordano about to return a punt. In a game which saw the Villanova team greatly improved, Nelson Marshall brings down a Houston back early in the contest. Despite the fact that we played well, we once again took the short end of a 28-7 count. The following week, Villanova encountered mighty Mississippi in a game that attracted national interest. Be- fore a capacity crowd, the sophomore dominated Wild- cats were buried under a 52 to 0 score. The 1954 season saw the Blue and White initiate a revised huddle formation. Here the team is seen rehearsing their big V. The object of this unusual formation is to givo the offensive team a chance to survoy the opposition's defense as the quarterback calls the play. John Griner and Al Makowlecki, of Florida State, attempt to bring John Giordano to the turf after returning the opening kickoff for 20 yards. Al Ciarrochi and Mike Potenza bear down on Billy Odom, of Florida State, as he nears the Villanova 3-yard line. Following the pattern set in its opening games, Villanova started strong against air-minded Florida State and found itself trailing by only six points (I 3 to 7) at halftime.thanks to the six points racked up by Dick Scott. However, the second half was a different story as the Seminoles took to the air and rang the bell for an even half dozen six-pointers while holding the Wildcats to a lone tally on a pass from Scott to McComb. The final score was 52 to 13. On a rain-soaked field in the great motor city of Detroit the Blue and White dropped their fourth straight game to the Titians of Detroit Uni- versity. Aided by three spectacular punt returns, the Titians splashed their way to a 20 to 0 triumph. 178 Eleven members of the 1954 Villanova football squad ended their collegiate football careers against Fordham University. They will long be remembered as one of the most determined and spirited teams in Villanova history. Villanova is proud of them.

Before a record-breaking crowd of 95,607, the much her- alded McCool, led Mississippi to her third win of the season. Before a Homecoming crowd of 57,000 at Municipal Stadium, the ever determined Reagan men took on the Houston Cougars. Displaying a much improved defense and a well functioning offense which gained over 300 yards, the Cats marched 83 yards in five plays early in the first quarter to score. The tally came as Captain Mike Mayock made a diving catch of a 3 I-yard aerial from Dick Scott. Jack Helm kicked the extra point. As fate would have it, the Cougars returned the ensuing kickoff for 92 yards and the tying touchdown and went on from there for a 28 to 7 victory. While the Boston University gridders watched their punt roll to a slow stop, Giordano dealt them a nasty blow. He picked the ball off the muddy field and broke away from his own three-yard lino to carry for a gain of thirty-seven yards. Larry Fcnnessoy, of the Wildcats' eleven, charges through a hole in the Boston line to score for the Mainliners. The score came in the closing minutes of the first quarter. •21. 180 Sweat, blood and tear is the message carried by this photo. The quote typifies the season, and the man typifies the team. Captain Mike Mayock, sidelined after scoring the first touchdown of the game, watches his out-manned team battle a power house from the south, Houston University. Michael Mayock—gentleman, ath- lete, and exemplar of Villanova competition. 181 • Even though they found a new way to score, the Wildcats extended their losing streak to seven straight by dropping con- tests to Kentucky and Boston University. In the first encounter the Blue and White of Villanova marched 92 yards early in the second quarter to take a 3 to 0 lead as Jack Helm climaxed the drive by kicking a nine-yard field goal. From that point on it was all Ken- tucky as they capitalized on several Wildcat miscues to hand Villanova a 28 to 3 setback. A couple of promising sophomores took over the scoring chores for Villanova in their game with Boston University. Quarterback John Ferruolo threw a 12-yard pass to Larry Fennessy to give the Blue and White a 6 to 0 lead. The Terrier's took a one-point lead at the end of the first quarter and then added three more touch- downs and a safety to sew up a 28 to 6 win.

Nichols look on with intense anxiety as the Wildcates tangle with Houston in a nocturnal engagement at Municipal Stadium. Ah! Victory. Before a crowd of 9,699, enthusiastic followers of the Blue and White of Villanova had their day. When the final whistle sounded we had emerged with our first victory of the year. The score was 41-0. A Fordham player is just about to hit the dirt. A fine combination of team play aided in earning this decisive vic- tory at the Polo Grounds. 183 Who has the ball??? Dick Scott (number 15), vis- ible right over the 5-yard line, seems to be the figure of interest as he heads for paydirt. Scott's tremendous passing was a bright fcautre in a rather dismal season. Traveling down to the sunny South, the Villanova Wild- cats were sadly disappointed in their quest for their first victory of the season. That famous southern hospitality was laid aside long enough for Mississippi Southern and Vanderbilt to tag defeats number eight and nine on the Reaganmen. Once again it was the same old story of an abundance of fight and spirit against speed, depth, and experience with the latter coming out on top. Against Mississippi Southern the Wildcats just couldn't get moving and were blanked by a 27 to 0 count. With Dick Scott hitting ends Mike Mayock and Don McComb with scoring tosses, and John Giordano hitting pay-dirt via the ground route, the Blue and White put on their best scoring display thus far, only to have Vanderbilt put on a bigger display for a 34 to 19 conquest of the Wildcats. Jack Holm brings down hard-running Sam Pino, of Boston, for no gain in our fray with B. U. Jack seems to be on the receiving end of a left to the jaw, delivered by the Terriers' great backfield star. 184 The 1954 Wildcats of Villanova . . .

The Blue and White simply outplayed the Fordham Rams from start to finish to record their first win of the season. It took exactly eight minutes for the Wildcats to hit the scoring column as Dick Scott, who com- pleted 15 out of 20 passing attempts for a total of 161 yards, climaxed a 52-yard drive by con- necting with Don McComb in the end zone with a fifteen-yard aerial. Recovery of two blocked punts, two long passes and a seven-yard sprint by Ed Ortelli completed the scoring and gave Villanova a much longed for and well deserved 41-0 victory.

After playing the role of tackling dummies and workmates for the Varsity for the past few years, the Freshmen footballers finally came into their own this past season and surprised everyone with their versatility and adeptness. Playing a rugged six-game schedule, the Kittens lost only one contest, and that was at the hands of Wyoming Seminary by a 7-0 score. FROSH FOOTBALL Staffed with a powerful line and a speedy backfield, the Frosh had little trouble with most of its opposition. Bill McGee was outstanding in his job of signal-calling in the Freshmen offense. The able running of Americo Sapi- enza, Dave Intrabartolo. Dave Parr and Pas Pasquerallo aided in Villanova's successful yard-gaining endeavors. On the line, the consistently hard performances of Ed Michaels. Ralph Chaverino, Charlie Bastian, Jack VanHorn and Jim Costigan stalled any competitive attacks. Villanova's talont-gcttor and fundamen- tals instructor Joe Rogers has done a highly creditable job since assuming tho position of Freshman football coach. 186 Bud Dudley and Joe Rogers exhibit the trophy which Villanova's Frosh team won in the Silver Bowl game played against Bullis Prep. Bill McGee, the Frosh quarterback, was selected as the outstanding player of the game. All eyes face skyward to watch the ball as West Chester attempts a conversion after their initial score of the day. The partially blocked placement was no good. Villanova's offensive machine is seen in action as Americo Sapienza slants off tackle for a sizable gain during a home contest. A pleased and partisan home crowd looks on at- tentively as the Freshmen win easily against West Chester in a game played at Goodrcau Stadium. 187 Villanova Kitten moves in for the kill on a Penn halfback during the November 5 clash with the University of Pennsylvania lightweights. Quarterback Ralph De Cicco, from Rahway, New Jersey, is about to be hauled to the ground by the Rutgers line. Despite the blocking efforts of his fellow teammates, a blue end white halfback is snowed undor by the hard charging Rutgers line after a five-yard gain. 150 lb. FOOTBALL Shortly after the close of a very disappointing season it was announced by the Board of Ath- letic Control that until the necessary and proper facilities are available for proper and safe playing of the sport, Villanova will not be rep- resented by a 150-pound football team. This disheartening announcement came at the close of a season which saw the Kittens go down to five straight defeats. Under the coach- ing reins of Lou Cassella and Steve Smolzinski, the lightweights never ceased to give a good account of themselves even though they dropped contests to Cornell 27-6, Princeton 24-0, Navy 52-0, Penn 12-0 and Rutgers 33-0 in that order. 188 Co-captain Dan Murphy breaks for the sideline in a vain attempt to shake off a couple of determined Rutgers' tacklers.

BASKETBALL Leaning on his man, Bob Schafer drives almost parallel to the floor in the Duquesnc game played at the Palestra. Villanova's team captain, Jack Devine, strides like a man with a pair of soven-leaguc boots as he cuts around his North Carolina State opponent. No two players on Villanova's basketball team last season deserve more credit than do Jack Devine and Bobby Schafer. The only two regular seniors on the club, they led the Wildcats through the season's competition. In every game, their one- two scoring punch and all-around courtsmanship helped account for the club's fine showing. N It's a puzzled Jack Weissman who ponders what to do with the ball as he is closely guarded by Seton Hall's Marty Farrell and Dick Gaines in a Villanova victory.

Bobby Schafer, Jack Devine, and a bewildered Ron Shavlik, State's All-Amer- ican center, watch the proceedings. Villanova went on to win the game, played at the Palestra on New Year's Day. Quiet, affable Andy Devine has completed his second year as team captain for the Wild- cats. Throughout both campaigns, he was a major factor in all Villanova ball games. His ability to score when it was necessary, rebound when it counted, and keep the team in the best functioning order were merely a few of the indispensable chore-master's attributes. Play- ing their perennially rugged schedule again this season, the Wildcats were able to attain a fine 16-9 record in regular season play. Outstanding victories were recorded over North Carolina State, whom the Cats defeated twice, St. Fran- cis. Xavier, Fordham, and Seton Hall. Blocked out of the play by hit Lomoyne opponent, Cap- tain Jack Dovine stares longingly at the ball as it bounds out of reach. Villanova's high-scoring ace, Bobby Schafer, goes up through two St. Francis players for a basket. The Frankies All-American, Maurice Stokes (26), couldn't stop Dutch. Pirouetting Bob Schafor is caught by the camera in what could be a graceful ballet step in action against the Dukes. Dangerous as a rebounder as well, Schafer already has the ball and prepares to pass down-court, leav- ing two B. C. men grappling in mid-air. By far the most outstanding and publicized ball-player on Villanova’s basketball team, Bobby Schafer was a four- year member of the varsity. He holds the distinction of being a member of that elite group of ten ball-players ever to attain 2000 points during their college careers. He holds practically every Villanova scoring record, and numerous other marks. During the E.C.A.C.'s Holiday Festival, and again in the N.C.A.A. play-offs, both held in New York, Bobby was the talk of metropolitan sportswriters and announcers with his long, snap set shots, a Schafer trade-mark. Along with his roommate, and team captain, Jack Devine, Schafer was the spark and life-blood in Villanova's scoring punch. 193 Jack Weissman, an agile shot-maker, lofts a difficult hook from behind the backboard. Versatile Jimmy Smith manuevers clear of de- fenders and lays up an easy basket for the Wildcats. Despite the vain attempts of an opponent to deflect his shot, Al Griffith pumps in a two- pointer. The three ball-players pictured on this page are the work-horse members of the team. Jimmy Smith, a first-semester Junior, joined the Varsity during the latter part of the 1954 season, and has made himself a necessity to the Wildcats. As a playmaker, ball- hawk, and all around competitor, Smitty has earned himself an excellent name. Al Griffith and Jack Weissman started as green sophomores this year, but as chasers in Al Severance's effective zone defense, they performed outstandingly. Both boys are gifted with exceptional shooting ability, and should prove indis- pensable in Villanova basketball teams of the future. 194 All join hands and circle to the rightl Jimmy Smith is the center of attention in the Lemoyne game as he balances on one leg and holds the ball over his head. Jumping-jack center John Cirino draws a foul from Dick Ricketts of Duquesne as he comes down with a rebound. Suffering the entire season from a common bas- ketball malady, erratic seizure, the Wildcats lost a few games which they might have won, had they been at full strength. The loss of Bob Schafer who was ill during some of the mid-season games, also left a telling mark on the club. Again, the sophomore-dominated squad also ran up against the big-time jitters on several occa- sions. As a result of these causes, the Wildcats lost a number of disappointing contests, notably the St. John's, Richmond, Canisius, Dayton, and Georgetown games.

FRESH MAN BASKETBALL Facing some of the best teams in the East this season in its 17-game schedule, Villanova's potent Freshmen basketball team ran up a creditable skein of victories. Included among its vanquished foes are such teams as Penn. Fort Dix, Drexel, St. John's, and Loyola of Baltimore. Jack Kelly, an adroit six-foot, five-inch center was unquestionably the most proficient performer for this year's team. His consistent point-production, coupled with rebounding skill and general court know-how, made Kelly an invalu- able asset to the club. The team's playmaker. Frank Singheim, also excelled for the Frosh. Other outstanding competitors were Tom Brennan, Connie Newman, Johnny Severance and Ralph Di Fronzo. 198 In a game won by Villanova, Henry Nichols drives in for a lay-up, while Brennan and Singheim look on as the closely guarded Freshman attempts his shot. Although the record doesn't indicate it, this year's Freshman team was one of the best ever to play at Villa- nova. For the first time in a long while, the team was staffed with some tall men, which is always advantageous. The high field goal percentage for the season is also a sign that the team was capable of accumulating points. The menacing schedule was of no assistance in helping the team compile a more impressive slate either. Vying against the best from the Philadelphia area, the local Armed Forces bases, and others, Maje McDonnell's squad has done an excellent job. Six-six center Tom Brennan, surrounded by four Camden Catholic players, leaps high in the air to tap in a shot during a home game played in the Field House. Jack Kelly stretches his lanky frame to full height as he snares a rebound during the St. Joseph's game played in the Field House. Jimmy Hunt stands in the background. 199 Left-fielder Bill McGarry crosses home plate in win over LaSalle. McGarry swings in victory over Penn at Franklin Field. Southpaw Dick Scott covers first base in play against St. Jo- seph’s. PLAY BALL A three-man pitching nucleus and power hit- ting on the part of four athletes who also play football tells the story of the 1954 Villanova baseball season. Under the direction of Coach Art Mahan, the Wildcats compiled a creditable 14-5 record against sound opposition. The opening weeks of the season resulted in won-loss streaks that included victories over Vermont, Dartmouth, and Seton Hall and de- feats at the hands of Princeton, Navy. West Chester, and Delaware. Righting themselves after the early inconsistency, the Main Liners went on from that 3-4 mark to lose only one more—to Penn State—and end up with a 14-5 seasonal record. They lost No. 6 to Lafayette in the regional play-offs. The pitching staff was bulwarked almost en- tirely by two left-handers, Don Sommers and Dick Scott, and a right-hander, Dan Severino. Sommers, regaining the form he had displayed in his sophomore year, notched five wins, most of them in crucial contests. Scott, depending on control and breaking stuff, won three games and lost two. Severino. with a good slider and speed, pitched six victories and lost only twice. 200 Left-handed first-baseman Tom Casey, holding down that post for the early part of the season, stretches to make the put out on St. Joseph's runner in win over the visitors on the Villanova field. The Wild- cats, under Art Mahan, were very successful at home. Center-fielder Chuck McGuckin slides home safely in 15-0 rout of St. Joseph's here at Villanova, with Dick Scott the winner.

McGarry, valuable in the field in hampering base runners, was consistent most of the way and instrumental in many important rallies. McGuckin, hitting the long ball occasionally, was a steadying influence in center field. Helm, who caught on late in the season, broke out ex- plosively against Catholic U. and Loyola, and was per- haps the most dangerous hitter at the end of the year. Cecere, heady and decisive in the field, often came through in the clutch. Second-basoman Bob Ricciani, now in the farm system of the Cin- cinnati Rods, slides safely into third base in win over LaSalle. For- merly a pitcher, Ricciani improved his hitting greatly last year. The 1954 Wildcat Varsity: Standing: Adrian Kilkor, Mgr.; Dick Scott, Bill McGarry, Jack Helm, Ralph Cecorc, Tom Casey, Dave Hinnegan, Bill Pearson, John Nagy, Coach Art Mahan. Kneeling: Bob Ric- ciani, Doc Dougherty, Bill Martini, Bill McCaffrey, Don Severino, Jack Peters, Don Sommers, Don Mouchetti, Ray Rigney, Bruce Martin. Left-fielder Bill McGarry, one of Villanova's most versatile athletes, is nipped by a step at first base in game against Penn State on the Stadium Field. 202 Right-fielder Jack Peters stands out against the empty stands of Franklin Field in win over Penn. Jack was one of the more improved Wildcats in his junior year. 203 Bill McCaffrey, a left-handed hitter, took advan- tage of the stadium-shortened right field to crack out several ground-rule doubles. He was steady behind the plate, alternating occasionally with Bill Pearson. Bob Ricciani, formerly a pitcher, switched to second base and proved a smart, timely-hitting batsman throughout the season. His fielding was more than adequate. Jack Peters, a good fielder in right, provided some left-handed clutch hitting and bunted well. Don Muchetti was adequate at third, though a bit weak at the plate. Jack Helm, whose long-ball hitting was a great aid later in the season, swings against Penn State in a losing cause. Chuck McGuckin is congratulated by teammates at home plate after smashing a home run against Penn State. Catcher Bill Pearson, alternating with Bill Mc- Caffery, shows good form as he slides safely into third base in the Wildcats' win over La- Salle. Jack Peters singles sharply against LaSalle in Villanova win. Left-hander Don Sommers, now a professional, pitched this win over LaSalle. Shortstop Ralph Cocere, who also starred on the Villanova football club in his senior year, is beaten out at first in Penn State loss. 205 Joe Gaffney easily wins the 1000-yard run, despite the lunge of his Hawk foe. Joe was the bulwark of the '54 outdoor season. It's Ray Wheiler this time, breezing home easily on the cinders in the Philadelphia Championship meet last Spring. GO! GO! Boasting one of the top track teams in the country. Villanova’s 1954 outdoor squad was successful in winning four out of five meets. Led by Joe Gaffney, team captain and mid- dle distance star, and the mile relay team of Al Ligorelli, Jim Moran, Warren Heitman and Ray Wheiler, the Wildcats dominated the Eastern competition. No photo timer necdedl Bill Rock, Villanova's long distance man, breaks the tape in winning form.

Agostini, W. Rock, T. Gorham, G. Spencer. Losing only in dual competition to undefeated West Chester, the trackmen posted important wins over LaSalle, Seton Hall, and Ford- ham. With only five seniors graduating, these men will form the nucleus of the Mainliners 1955 harrier edition. With a fine indoor season already behind them, the 1954-55 Blue and White cindermen are looking forward to a banner season out- doors. Benefited by the experience of the past year, our thinclads should turn in record smash- ing performances in fresh air competition. With the steady improvement of his veterans coach Jim Elliot is optimistic about the coming cam- paign, as are all the Villanova track enthusiasts. Sensational Sophomore Don Bragg is up and over with graceful ease as he performs his specialty in an indoor meet. Great things are predicted for Bragg in the future as he ex- hibits his ability to astound the experts with his amazing feats of vaulting. Don, who has not yet reached his peak, already holds the Fresh- man collegiate record. Members of the crack mile relay team pose proudly with the trophy that they won at the Inquirer Games. They are: E. Maliff, J. Moran, C. Jenkins, and A. Peterson. The milers also won in Boston, Washington, and New York. Jenkins, running anchor man, ran a 48-second quarter in the Philadelphia meet. He will re- turn with Maliff and Peterson for two more seasons. Ron Delaney, Villanova’s Fighting Irishman, lunges forward in his start of the 1000 yard run at Con- vention Hall. Charlie Jenkins sweeping his fav- orite .. . 600 yards. .. time: 1:10. This year, with a host of equally capable per- formers, including Charlie Jenkins, Ron Delaney, John Kopil, George Brown, and Alex Breckenridgc, the precedents set by last year's varsity are being preserved with equal honors. Jenkins, during the winter’s indoor season, became quite well-known for his performances in the 600-yard dash and os an anchor man for the mile relayers. Delaney achieved fame in the 1000-yard run, and Don Bragg excelled in the indoor pole-vaulting compe- tition. The Freshman club of George Snydor, Phil Reavis, Bill Haines and Delaney, also abetted Villa- nova's track ability. All eyes are on the freshman star, Phil Rcavis, as he clears the bar in the Inquirer Games. Reavis turned in remark- able jobs all year as one of the stars of the squad. This is the start of the greatest quarter mile ever seen in the Quaker City. Charlie Jenkins turned in a blistering per- formance, a 48 second jaunt, to awe the experts. Wally Ullrich, Wildcat diver, goes high into the air as ho competes in his specialty at the Villanova Natatorium.

Matt is one of two seniors on the 1955 squad. In their second year of competition since the team's revival in 1953. Villanova's mermen this year recorded a season's total of six victories, five defeats, and one tie. Don Couig was easily the most outstanding performer for the Wildcats this year. Aside from breaking four Villanova pool records, Couig also broke two marks during away, meets. Pat Kean, the team captain, per- formed creditably on several occasions for coach Ed Geisz. Bob Duffy, Dan Rinkacs, George Sinnott, Tony Tomasulo, Paul Donohue, and Dick Harris comprised the bulk of the tank team, while Walt Ullrich handled the diving chores for Villa- nova.

THE DUFFERS CLUB Billy Albertus, Wildcat Captain, demonstrates professional form off the tee. Villanova's re-organized golf team returned to the links last year and performed quite creditably throughout a rugged ten-match schedule. Bill Albertus, Villanova's team captain, played an instrumental role in the team’s four victories. The talented Senior, who was a consistent low 70’s performer, lost only one match during the entire season. This year a host of veterans, including Charley Stone, Lou Blanchet, Fred Morris, Jack Kelly, and Red Thornton, comprise the Wildcat squad. Fore! Lou Blanchet lines up a wood shot on the fairway.

This picture exemplifies the keen interest and enthusiasm in sports which the Intramural program has created at Villanova. But Fatherl Seems to be the cry of the moment as Father Dunne, moderator of Intramural sports, settles an argument dur- ing the first playoff game of the softball tournament. A record 54 teams took part in the tourney. SOFTBALL Bob Kaiser is out by a step in a very close play at first base in the playoff game bo- tween the Austin Erfs and Simpson Ani- mals. Ready and willing but not quite good enough was the story of this game as the Cast-offs went down to defeat by the score of 12-0. In order not to disappoint the photogra- pher, John Giordano slides across home- plate in a cloud of dust even though the ball is nowhere in sight. Champions of the 1954 intramural softball tournament were the Austin Erfs. Behind the superb pitching of their Captain Jack Car- clla, the Erfs won the Austin Field Crown and then defeated both the Simpson Animals and the Marauders, champions of the Simpson and Mendel Leagues respectively, in the championship playoffs. • — A A V ' w S, • I' Vv • .. There seems to be no doubt at all as to how umpire Jack Helm called the last pitch. Runner ups in the annual softball tourney were the Maurauders who reached the finals by winning the Mendel Field crown. 215 Pete Loos begins to drive toward basket from the foul circle in an Intramural clash on the Alumni gym boards. John Henry is the defender on the extreme left. A two-pointer about to drop through the net as three intramural hoopsters are caught in some early season action by the Belle Air camera. Ed Mugford takes off from the foul line in an attempt to garner two for his club. Action is once again on the alumni court, site of most intramural basketball games. Time out is taken to rest the :harges and to plot more strategy n a recent contest between intra- mural clubs. The champions of the intramural basketball tourna- ment were the Hot Trotters of Sulli- van Hall. The referee backs away from a tap in a recent game as the cen- ters vie for possession of the ball Tap was won by the skin team The Villanova all-star team shown from left to right, kneoling: Jim Brady, Dave Sansone. Frank Perna, Sene MacDonald. Standing: Eddie Zipf, Tom Meany, Frank Power, Dick Power. The team was coached by seniors Red Thornton and Dave Crowley. FOOTBALL Action was fast and furious as 580 students took part in the football tournament. Due to the large number participating, three different leagues were set up. Altogether there were 28 teams battling it out and when the dust had cleared the Wonders, Sham- rocks, and Galloping Girls were crowned League champs. Throughout the entire season, the Shamrocks (below) were sparked by the running and the pass- ing of Dave Crowley and the pass catching of Eddie Zipf. With Captain Tod Forhecz leading the way, they went on to win the playoffs. VT Thanks to expert handling of the games by the referees, sportsmanship and fair play were stressed throughout the season, and although it was the largest Intramural football program ever undertaken, not one serious injury resulted. INTRAMURAL ATHLETIC COUNCIL Rev. John R. Dunne is the moderator and Ed Geisz is the Pete Murphy, Student Director, and James Moran, Corn- director of the Intramural program. The officials of the missioner for the Basketball Leagues. Intramural Athletic Council are Robert Casey, President; WATER BASKETBALL Yet another facet of the rapidly-expanding program for in- tramurals under Mr. Geisi is that of water polo. Here a student dunks a ball in the University pool. Sharing the spring sportslight with softball and horseshoes was the ever popular game of volleyball. The court was located on Mendel Field and from the early part of April until June it was in constant use. The winners in the volley- ball tournament were the Shadracks. VOLLEYBALL Scenes like this became quite common as more and more students took an interest in the chess program sponsored by the Intra- mural Department. We don't quite know how Mark McCor- mick made out on this particular toss but he seems to be getting full approval from his many onlookers. TENNIS HORSESHOES Duo to the growing popularity of horseshoes, arrangements had to bo made to increase the playing facilities. The competition in the tournament won by Walter Punke ran very high. A little glamor was added to the Spring and Fall tennis tournaments when Joanne Stucky became the first girl to take part in the tennis competition. Rather than err by not doing justice to the basic reason of why we are attending college, we have here depicted a typical academic semester cycle. On the left a student leaves a dormitory to prepare for that pic- tured above. He is on his way to the library, a lecture, or perhaps a mid- semester quiz. Above we have the final task, semester exams on the floor of the Field House. Class room work and final exams constitute the fundamental core of our stay at Villanova. Qtff MEN OF LETTERS THOMAS A.

Introducing Father Thomas Calpin, O.S.A., Moderator of the Junior Class—the man who has guided them to success in every enterprise. {Juniors 1956 In the fall of 1952, the present Junior Class first made its appearance on the Villanova campus. Its first opportunity to unite in a common cause came during the annual Muff Day goings-on, in competi- tion with the then sophomores, the class lost, but showed an enthusiasm and sense of co-operation which was to make itself known so prominently in the future. Late in October of that first semester of college life, the class elected its first representatives—Phil Taddeo and John Salvo, a day hop and a resident, respectively, who reflected their fellows' interests in the Student Council. In the Spring of 1953, the group elected its first class officers and general administration. Bernic Steinfelt, of York, Pa., was chosen president; he was assisted by vice-president Roy Zimmerman, secretary Jules Wettlaufer, and treasurer Mario DiVincenzo. The energetic Rev. Thomas F. Calpin, O.S.A., was appointed class moderator. Upon arrival at school for the fall term in 1953, the class immediately set about its task of plans and preparations for the Sophomore Cotillion. Headed by chairman Dick Fitzpatrick, the dance committee put over a definite success, drawing some 800 couples to the Field House. 241 Through the high calibre leadership of has resulted in success upon success in these Committee Chairmen, the Juniors every function sponsored by the Class of have attained a level of class unity which 1956. In May of 1954, Bernie turned over the class reigns of leadership to Harry Nash, of Portsmouth, Va.. who, with vice-president David Burns, secretary Bob McCaffery, and treasurer Jerry Guerrisi, went about forming plans for the maze of Junior year activities that lay ahead. The rings and blazers, the major personal concern of all, were fitted in May so that delivery could be effected as early as possible, and all committee heads and steering committee groups were to be set up. Bob Ford and Tom McEnerny were named blazer co-chairmen. Some 350 Juniors, by far a record number, re- ceived their blazers from Rogers Peet late in Sep- tember and wore them to a very successful Blazer Ball, held as a closed dance in October rather than an open affair during Junior Week, under the chair- manship of Paul Porreca. 242 FIRST ROW: J.

Juniors 1956 ■ — j ..—m Those happy, smiling youngsters are the John- nies, the boys of St. John's Orphanage who had a merrier Christmas because of Villanovans and their gifts. Officers of the Class of 1956 (from left to right): Bob McCaffcry, Secretary: Harry Nash, President: Dave Burns, Vice-President, and Jerry Guerrisi, Treasurer. The various orphans' benefits were next and the party and outing were immense successes, as was the Charity Ball. Our class rings came in just prior to the Christmas holidays and were very favorably received. Junior Week got underway with Mother's Day under the direction of Frank Hartmann, and was very gratifying. A new idea, a Jazz Concert featuring Eddie Condon, under the chairmanship of Jack Kelly, occupied Wednesday, and Thurs- day afternoon of Junior Week at the Field House. Buddy Williams topped off a Harbor Lights theme at the Junior Prom, which brought some 600 couples into the Field House. Greg Gehring did an excellent job as prom chairman with the help of the other chairmen, Nick Mazzoni, Phil Butler, Mario DiVincenzo, Henry Guerrisi, Pete Quinn, Roy Zim- merman and Jim Bambury. A very enjoyable Dinner Dance directed by Dick Fitzpatrick was held in Philadelphia at Palumbo's on the last night of an unforgettable week of an unforgettable year for the class of 1956. 245 FIRST ROW: J.

May I share your date with you you tor a few minutes? Mine is doing the Mambo with a mutual friend from across the tracks. This is not a mob scene from a Hollywood extravaganza, but merely part of the crowd of 750 couples which attended the Sopho- more Cotillion. Sophomores 1957 We are the first coed class and will be the first to complete all four years in Villanova University. The class of '57 began with the largest enrollment since the immediate postwar years, consisting of eight hundred and seventy-one young men and eight full time nurses. We labored through Orientation and found out what it was going to take to become a true Villa- novan. Our first display of school spirit as a body was our joyous victory over the sophomores in Muff Day. The class got its first representation to stu- dent government with the election of Joe Martin and Don Kelly to the Student Council. In May, we gained political recognition when, after a close elec- tion. Jack O'Rourke, Art Odabash, Tom Hooker, Bob Powers, John Esposito, and Neil Cronin were established as president, vice-president, treasurer, secretary, and student council representatives, re- spectively, for the coming sophomore year. Seven hundred and twelve of us returned last September to begin our second year. 247 Ho may be big, but Joe Valenti still has the upper hand because a White Hat always gets his man. The man behind the scene who makes things click in the Sophomore class is their moderator, the Rev- erend Dante L. Gerolami. Under the supervision of the Student Council we took on the task of orienting the incoming freshmen. When it came time to again display their school spirit as a body, the class joined together to crush the attempt of the frosh to show us up. by winning Muff Day for the second time, a fete which had only been accomplished once before. The first social function of the class of 1957, the Sophomore Cotillion, was one of the biggest and best dances ever held in the Field House. Chairman Ed McCall and the various committees did a won- derful job but the real credit goes to the class for its all out support which is evidenced by the fact that seven hundred and fifty couples attended. This put our treasury well in the black and assures us of promising events ahead. 248 FIRST ROW: J. Feeney. J. Boyle. F. Murray. B. Curran. M. Rcir. F. Coady. H. Daly, R. Shigo. Silior Theolinda. D.

President, and Art Odabash, Vice- President. (Seated) Tom Hooker, Treasurer, and Bob Powers, Secretary. Step right up and get your Regs! Dinks, ties, and l-D badges to fit every freshman. Just put your money in the pot, boy. We became the first class to get our blazers in our Sophomore year, and the idea was well received and a lot of credit must be given to the Blazer Com- mittee. A Spring Dance was held in the Field House by the Sophomores which was until this year an unpre- cedented event. The class again cooperated and supported the affair wholeheartedly. The new expansion program was christened in our first year on campus and we have already wit- nessed the start and completion of Sullivan Hall and the near completion of Dougherty Hall. We were, of course, saddened by being the last group of frosh to reside in the beloved barracks. We arc looking forward to continued success in all of our undertakings in the next two years and un- der the able guidance of Rev. Dante Girolami we hope to prove worthy of the title of Villanova Men. 251 FIRST ROW; J. Vargo. R. Schirling, J. Guidt. F. MeHugK, P. Rcilly. M. Stewart, J. Hunt, 8. Randzio. J. McDonald, A. Tucci, J.

Jrcskmm 1958 Here's one freshman who didn't in- tend to let his studies interfere with his golfing career. Boy, was he sur- prised! Through Father Burke’s fine coordina- tion of Professors, Secretaries, and the Student Registration Committee, tho Class of 1958 was registered with a minimum of confusion. The class of 1958 sef a record their first day at Villanova—a precedent they seem destined to continue. On registration day in September, 962 individuals from all points of the compass became members of the largest Freshman Class in the history of Villanova. The class of 1958 was formed. Even on the first day these new University men had to make a decision, what course of studies to follow? The Commerce and Finance Division was the choice of 461. The Engineering Division followed with 284. The Arts and Science Division accepted only 190. Twenty-seven young ladies became members of the Division of Nursing. Orientation was the next step. Guided by the Administration and the Student Council Orientation Committee, the Freshmen were introduced to Uni- versity life. First came humility in the form of Dinks, identification badges, blue and white bow ties, and rolled trousers. Then indoctrination. Under the watchful eyes of white hats. the class of '58 was routed from building to building to learn from the Administrators and Student Leaders what Villa- nova University stands for. They learned that it is not the physical make-up of granite buildings or a beautiful campus which make a University, but men living together harmoniously in an atmosphere which stimulates united action toward common goals. 253 It was a tough fight, Mom, but I won. I fin- ally got my books. Long lines and late hours arc familiar characteristics of the bookstore around registration time when new books arc required by all. Well, this is it, son. From now on you are on your own. Be sure to study hard and make us proud of you. From the white hats came knowledge of the Villa- nova songs and cheers and. slightly less tangible but just as real, spirit of the Wildcats. They learned their lesson well because the Frosh were the back- bone of every rally and the best represented at every sports event. Next came the first weeks of classes and the problem of adapting to an entirely new way of life. Every minute became scheduled. A more difficult type of education, longer hours in class, longer hours of studying, living away from home with strangers, becoming accustomed to cafe- teria food, and 12:30 permissions. But the class of 1958 became acclimated to all these things in record time. Unfortunately, they lost Muff Day to the Sophs, so the dinks and ties remained for a while. By Thanksgiving, however, every Frosh was a full- fledged member of the University body. 254 FIRST ROW: C. Byrone. J. Barrett. R. Horn, J. Flick. J. Irvine, P. Muller, A. Macri. M. Diorio. J. Maurer.

Mr. Bill Ryan, the personifi- cation of Villanova spirit, and the Freshmen at one of their first meetings. The Freshmen lost. freshmen 1958 Days, weeks and months passed by swiftly. Strangers became friends. The Frosh became ab- sorbed in the daily routine of Villanova life. The Commerce and Finance students wondered how an accounting problem could prove so difficult. College chemistry is a bit different from high school chemistry, as the fledgling engineer learned. As for Latin and the Arts students—well.sometimes it might as well be Greek. It all wasn't work. Freshmen joined all the many fine activities, notably, WVIL and the Turf and Tinsel. They played intramural football, basketball and softball, and won more than they lost. The 150-pound football team had a roster which was full of Freshman names. Nor was the social life neglected. The nurses were never without a date. As for the men, they kept the phones buzzing at Rosemont, Chestnut Hill and Immaculata. Every open dance at Villanova and the neighboring girls' colleges had freshmen doing the mambo. 2 57 They are off and running on Muff Day. And leading in the 100-yard dash is Bob Burgess, fleetfootcd Sophomore White Hat. With Spring come the elections, the first official function of the Frosh as a class. A record turn-out at the polls put two new men in the Student Council. In May. a whole slate of officers were elected to make the class of 1958 politically equal to all the other classes. The victors announced their inten- tion to make their Sophomore year the greatest in the history of Villanova. If the tremendous spirit of the Freshmen continues at its present pitch, this seemingly rash promise may very well become a reality. A challenge remains; three years of ever more difficult problems—both individual and class. If they continue the record-breaking pace they set as Freshmen, the Class of 1958 will easily overcome every obstacle the future can present. 258 FIRST ROW: R. Raftovich, L. Ceccoli, R. Coffey. J.

To the receipients, it signifies four years of companionship work, achievement and failures overcome. To the faculty the commencement exercises mark the departure of another group of young men that they have helped to mold. The following September will find them tutoring another class toward their goal. To the University itself it is yet another stone in place in the edifice of Catholic education; it is another rank added to the one hundred and twelve that have already been sent out from her halls. the Villanova University Senior Class 1955 Graduation—and an unforgettable part of the graduates' lives has come to an end. The Villanova man leaves the Field House with his diploma, fully prepared to meet the rigors of the world. What- ever lies before him, he will look back on his collegiate experiences, smile wistfully, and proceed confidently. Wherever he goes, the spirit of Villanova goes with him.

For without their help and moral support the 1955 Belle Air would have never gone to press. No words could express my gratitude to our moderators, Rev. Daniel P. Falvey, O.S.A., and Rev. Robert M. Sullivan, O.S.A., for all the aid and kindness they have bestowed upon me. Nor could I possibly thank Dan Solari of the Cooke Publishing Company or Anne McCarthy of Zamsky Studios enough for their splendid cooperation and assistance. To the members of the staff all I can say is thanks very much for everything, it has been wonderful working with you. Finally, I want to thank all my friends who gave me and the entire staff encouragement when we needed it most and in particular I want to thank my parents and almighty God for sticking by me when the going got rough.

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 important factor in bringing Zamsky Studios to the position of LEADERSHIP in the school annual field. MAYBE that’s why Villanova College turned to us for their photography in 1955.
