VILLANOVA UNIVERSITY VILLANOVA. PENNSYLVANIA THE SPIRIT OF VILLANOVA The student of Villanova is an individualist. He makes his own decisions, can stand up under tribulations, is firm in conviction, strong in character and body. He is a great oak tree on a windy hill Yet there is something that lies deep in the core of every Villanovan, that unknown which binds him to his classmate. To define this intangible, this spirit of Villanova, the Class of 1956 proudly presents the theme of the 1956 Belle Air: UNITAS. PERSISTANT AND ACTIVE The modernity of Dougherty Hall does not lack medieval religious significance. AND THE NEW Alumni Hall, a monument to the efforts of Villanova’s founders.

A crucifix on a wdll, the ensign of Christidnify held high on d gdbled roof, the ddmonitions of St. Augustine en- grdved in stone dbove the portdls of the library, and monuments, such as this shrine to the heavenly Mother, remind us of the religion that pervades life on the cam- pus. The Villanova student is not only taught the way of the Christian life through the example of his teachers, both lay and cleric, but he is also encouraged to live this rewarding existence. WE CELEBRATE THE FEAST OF OUR PATRON On September 22, 1955. Villanova dressed her- self in her best colors to receive a Prince and other high dignitaries of the Church, who came to honor our campus during the celebration of the 400th aniversary of the death of Saint Thomas of Villanova. The sprightly footsteps of Cardinal Spellman were preceded by a variegation of purple hued robes, scarlet skull caps ' and Augustinian cinc- tures walking in procession towards the Field House, where a Solemn High Mass was cele- brated. After the Mass the Cardinal gave a warm and informative speech on the life of the Spanish saint whose name honors our university, and im- parted his holy blessing to all the Juniors and Seniors attending the ceremony. It was a memorable day for Villanova when his Excellency laid the cornerstone on Dougherty Hall and broke ground for the Law School Build- ing. the newest addition to our ever-expanding campus. Time will keep its fast pace, but the celebration of the Centennial of Saint Thomas of Villanova has been imbedded in the gorious pages of the history of the University and will be remembered as one of the great events to have taken place on our campus. Dedicated to St ZkomaS of VILLANOVA Many of us came to Villanova with mixed emotions about Religion. By the example and wholehearted teaching which helpod to mold our characters, our minds bogan to be clarified and enlightened until we realized the importance of our faith and the necessity of a profound knowledge in that which we profess. We learned that in time of distress or uncertainty, we would always bo welcome to talk things over with God. Our fears and uncertain- ties soon disappeared, a calm, holy mood pacified our minds as we poured forth our hoarts to Him in the University Chapel. Saint Thomas of Villanova was born at Fuentellana, Spain, in the year 1488. He joined the Augustinians in 1516 and held many offices of trust in the Order. His whole life was replete with acts of practical charity. He spent his time chiefly in prayer, study, preaching and, by his example, strove to perfect the lives of his contemporaries. It is in your honor that we, men of Villanova, publish this, our annual book of memories; to you, Saint, educator and philanthropist, do we humbly dedicate our yearbook. By your deeds and saintly life you have left a plan for us to follow, a goal to reach, a life based on the best Catholic tradition. Our University is honored with your name and may it produce men of your caliber: educated Christian gentlemen well versed in their faith and staunch defenders of our Mother Church. THE WELFARE OF THE UNI- VERSITY BINDS STUDENTS AND ADMINSTRA- TION Very Reverend James A. Donnellon, O.S.A., President of the University . . . a calm demeanor, dominating physical appearance, and a magnetic sense of humor characterize this man of many energies. Father Donncllon's primary interests are with the students. When first assuming the office of president, he welcomed all of his students to come to him for coun- sel. In the autumn of 1955, he founded the . . . . . . President’s Committee for Students, whose purpose is to forge a closer bond between the administration and students of the University. THE INTANGIBLE MAY BE HERE Whatever the season, Nature pro vides the campus with an abund ance of her beauties. Villanova at night presents in- triguing patterns of light, shadows and dark. The communal interest and enthu- siasm of the seminarians are an inspiration to their fellow students. Very Reverend {Joseph J. Mickey, O.S.J.

Father Dunne and Snuffy, an Orphan's Outing, the Tea House, a retired general. Who will forget these things? Veritas Unitas ■••• persistant and active • • • ViWcmova... Now it came to pass that the king of a very great country, besieged by the many troubles of the world, decided to seek the guidance of the wisest man in his kingdom. And when he who was sought was brought forth, he was in the company of one who was much older. The king then said to the wise man, I shall need your help greatly, but who is he that is with you?” And the wise man answered, This is my teacher.” These are our teachers.

Here beneath old bending, blaclc- limbed trees our youth is learning . . . learning from a multitude of ever-turning facets to meet the requirements of the bustling, throbbing modern life and still to be true to the dictates of the soul . . . It is a difficult task in an era of doubt and increasing complexity, a task to be met only by greatness . . . and our universities are great. They are strong and old and ever-nurturing the growth of our awareness. This is the story of one of them . . . 32 The Division of Arts and Sciences Villanova University's Division of Arts and Sciences is the backbone of the entire institution. The Liberal Arts Division trains men in the classics, in modern language and literature, and in the most essential phase of a Catholic Arts education, Scholastic Philosophy. Students leave after four years as men who are well-educated and possess the basic tools for developing themselves to the complete man. True, the Science Departments prepare men for a particular phase of life. However, these men are hardly one-sided, since their curricula are designed to include as much of the Humanities as is possible in their course of study. Dean of the Division of Arts and Sciences, Rev. Robert M. Sullivan, O.S.A., is an eminent scholar in his own right, holding degrees from Villa- nova, Catholic University, and Oxford University. Father Sullivan main- tains a close student-teacher relationship with his Arts and Sciences division by continuing to teach classes in English and Religion. One of the proudest statements a Villanova man can make is that he has been taught by Father Sullivan. As can be seen by the picture below, D.P.M. is a rather large organization having approximately I 50 members. Only students of the School of Arts and Sciences who have reached the second semester of their Sopho- more year or higher may pledge for member- ship in D.P.M. This permits the fraternity to maintain an average intellectual level. During the 1955-56 academic year Delta Pi Mu under the capable administration of Presi- dent Owen Hickey, Vice-President Bruce Mar- tin, Recording Secretary Tom Smith. Treasurer Brenden Flynn, Corresponding Secretary Jim Judge, and Student Council Representative Joe Jackson, has enjoyed a most successful year in all respects. Above, Dr. McEnornoy and president, Owen Hickey formulate plans for the reception of new pledges into the fraternity. There are no fraternity housos at Villanova. nor are all the V.U. fraternities national ones. These facts, however, do not cause a lessening of fraternal spirit and comrade- ship. All tho fraternities are closely knit organizations that perform the same functions as any fraternity (dances, social meetings, smokers, etc.) Delta Pi Mu is a typical Villanova frat. This organization traces its history back to the early 1900's. Its purpose is a simple one: to provide a social, cultural, and spiritual environment for the men of the School of Arts and Sciences. This society was rovised only recently by a group of enthusiastic students and Dr. John I. McEnorney. The fraternity had been dormant eight years prior to its revival in 1953. Under the guidance of Father Sullivan, honorary president, and Dr. McEnerney, D.P.M., has reached now heights in fratornity spirit. DELTA PI MU 35 At loft are pictured tho Senior members of the fraternity. The Math Fraternity, though one of the smaller groups on campus, is regarded as both active and enlightening. Mr. Bonniwell succeeded the late Dr. Leo F. Brown as fratornity moderator. Mr. Bonniwell is a campus notable whose column, Rippled Reflections, ap- pears weekly in the Villa- novan, and provokes a groat amount of thought among students. KAPPA PHI KAPPA One of the few national fraternities at Villanova is the education fraternity, Kappa Phi Kappa, or- gnized and chartered through the efforts of the late, beloved Dr. Leo Brown. The present group is a small one, consisting of only ten members. Since it is mainly an honorary organization, there are few social or business meetings during the year. Present officers are: Richard Hepburn. President: Nicholas Rinaldi, Vice-President; Vincent Rachfalski, Treas- urer, and Wilfred Quinn, Secretary. MU ALPHA THETA After a three-year period of inactivity, the Math Fraternity. Mu Alpha Theta, was reorganized by Mr. Emil Amelotti of the Mathematics Department. The Fraternity exists primarily to provide oppor- tunity to continue the study of mathematics beyond the scope of college courses. The officers are: Jim Welsh, John Berg, and Fred Hueber. Mr. Amcloffi, Mu Alpha Theta Moderator, has devoted much of his time to the group. Classes in the Liberal Arts school are generally small in size and informal. At left, Charles W. Bernardin, Ph.D., con- ducts a class in Chaucerian poetry. Junior and Senior English majors are roquired to study courses which are more intense than tho average courses in English literature. These courses give the studont a thorough knowledge of a definite period of literature or a particular man’s work. The Liberal Arts program at Villanova is designed to introduce a man to the culture that has evolved through the centuries, since the light of civilization flickered for the first time in the Stone Age cave. Courses in Philosophy, Mathematics, and Science provide the basis for this program. The thinking man of the present day must be aware of the thought and culture of other ages before he can take up a study of his own. Man has always asked himself the two questions, viz.: Why am I here? Where am I going? The Liberal Arts man at Villanova is primarily interested in answering these questions by means of his own reasoning power under the guidance of the Catholic Faith. Delta Pi Mu, the Liboral Arts fraternity is not only an association that fosters good tollowship and brothorhood, but it also providos a stimulating intellectual environment for its members. At each of its monthly meetings a guest soeakor lectures upon subjects of varying interest. The privilege of being the first indivdual to address the fraternity is rosorvod for Dr. John I. McEnerney of tho classics Department, tho moderator of the fraternity. Dr. McEnernov's infectious humor, intellectual acumen, and scintillating wit enable him to hold his audionco interested and relaxed while listening to lectures upon ancient Greece and Rome, the nature and origins of languages, or tho home-spun philosophy of the McEnerney clan. I LAMBDA KAPPA DELTA Lambda Kappa Delta is the fraternity of the pre-medical, pre-dental, and Biology students of Villanova. This year, under the direction of Mr. Joseph J. Gilligan of the Biology department, LKD saw a period of unsurpassed success. The men responsible for this tremendous turnover were President Charles Gibley. Vice-President Floyd Nasutti, Secretary Leonard Varocalli, Student Council Representative Joseph De Gracia and Treasurer James Monlandro. One of the outstanding highlights of the past year was the annual Dinner Dance held at the Delmar Morris Club in Germantown. Along with its social successes, LKD sponsored a number of interesting films and lectures by men of science. The fraternity sponsored movies and lectures were widely received by both members and non-members. During the 1955-56 aca- demic year Lambda Kappa Delta enjoyed a period of unprecedented growth and social activity. In February LKD spon- sored a dance in collabor- ation with the various nurs- ing sororities on campus. At right, every one scorns to be having a gay old time of it all. LKD continued to grow during the past year, its membership exceeding 100. This fraternity is an unusual one, in that a great percentage of its members are day stu- dents. At left a segmont of the LKD fraternity. The Mendel Bulletin is not merely a publication for the enlightment of its on-campus readers; it is a scientific journal which is world-renowned. Copies of this publication are sent to the leading colleges and universi- ties in Western Europe and the Far East as well as to American schools and institutes. The Mendel Bulletin is a product of the Science Departments of Villa- nova University, and, as its name suggests, follows in the tradition of the famous Augustinian Monk who developed the laws of heredity. Articles covering every branch of Villanova's excellent Science Departments are included in this magazine, and each division is represented by a high- ranking senior, who carries out a specific experiment or research program and reports upon it. The co-ordinator of the magazine is Editor-in-Chief Robert Conner. Bob works closely with Dr. John J. McClain of the Biology Department, the moderator. In order to insuro tho wide scopo of tho magazino, men from each of the Science Departments serve as associato editors. Bob Fredericks heads the Chemistry section. Walt Wynoski tho Physics section. Fritz Miklos the Biology section; other members of the staff include Nick Pedano, Business Manager; Burt Bronman, Circulation; Low Jacobs, Photography; and Bob Weisenbaugh, Copy Editor. Bob Conner this year's editor, hails from Lancaster. Pa., and is the top man in tho Senior Pre-Med class. THE MENDEL BULLETIN PHILOSOPHY The Philosophy Club is one of the newest organizations on Campus. In the Spring of 1955 Dr. Edward J. Monahan founded the Club, pro- claiming it as a club which would stimulate interest in discussing the problems which arise in the study of Philosophy and at the same time increase proficiency in research and maturity of development. The Club has only one officer, its President. Wilfred J. Quinn, an Education-major, who leads his club of fifteen members to the realization of the principles set down by the moderator, Dr. Monahan. At least once a month the Philosophy Club sponsors a lecture by a member of the De- partment of Philosophy. These lectures are of interest to everyone and not merely club members. The opening lecture this year featured Dr. Monahan speaking on the Ontological Proof for the Existence of God. I The Governing Council and Father Jenkins work closely in forming Club policy. They are pictured here. 40 ASTRONOMY CLUB One of the most interesting, and certainly most ingenious, organizations on campus is the Astronomy Club. Father Edward Jenkins, the club moderator, has put much time and energy into the construction of the observatory and in the formation of the club itself. He built, almost single-handedly, the Villanova Astronomical Observatory atop Mendel Hall. The Club is open to all students interested in any phase of this fascinating science. PRE-LAW CLUB The need for such an organization as the Pre-Law Club has steadily increased since the establishment of the Villanova Law School. The new school has undoubtedly increased undergraduate interest in graduate law education and the legal profession. Through the society this interest will have an oppor- tunity to develop during the undergraduate years. The membors: J. Carton. L. Contrucci. J. Decker, L. Donatel.i, B. Dunne, H. Eckrich, L.

The Vil- lanova chapter, organized in 1953 is mado uo of those members of the graduating class of Arts and Science who by their scholarship have earned the right to be recog- nized by this organization. Nominees are selected by a faculty committee composed of Father Robert M. Sullivan, O.S.A., Dean of Arts, Fathor Edward F. Jenkins, O.S.A., and Dr. John I. McEnerney.

At right, a typical Club lecturo is being given by Mr. Sullivan. PHYSICS CLUB The Physics Club is designed as a medium through which the students of Physics and related fields may aid each other in developing their knowledge of. and ability in the study of physical principles. For the past ten years the Physics Club has been under the direction of Mr. Wil- liam G. Driscoll, the affable head of the Department of Physics. Mr. Driscoll has guided the Club through the rough first years of its existence to the smoothly operating organization of the present day. This year under the direction of its officers, Charles Schwerdtfeger, President; Secretary, James Shea, and Treasurer, Jack Solarski; the forty-one mem- bers of the club traveled to the Brookhaven Laboratories to study the facilities there. The Club also enjoyed a successful social year. The Physics Club usually meets In the laboratories on the fourth floor of Mendel Hall since these surroundings provide the proper environment for lectures, movies, and demonstrations. The Physics Laboratory is equipped with up-to-date materials and facilities which provide the essentials for the Club's technical demonstrations. Rev. Joseph C. Bartley, O.S.A., Dean Commerce and Finance DELTA PI EPSILON This is a social fraternity, the purpose of which is to bring its mem- bers ... into a closer bond of friendship so that they may truly look upon each other os brothers. This text from the Constitution thus describes the primary aim of the Commerce and Finance Fraternity. This year, under the leadership of President Lou Donatelli and the club officers, the members have ex- panded their organization in line with this goal and have provided a worthy outlet for the Business student. The brothers of D.P.E. stand on a tradition dating from the founding year 1922, and sponsor many func- tions in the scope of lectures, social activities and spiritual development, the latter reflected in their annual Communion Breakfasts.

ACCOUNTING SOCIETY The Accounting Society, a young organization of only eight years, is the uniting factor of the Accounting Majors in the Commerce and Finance School. It was formed originally for honor students, but since has been opened to all those majoring in Accounting. The Club's activities include the discussion of new concepts in the accounting field and lectures from professional men in both Industrial and Public Accounting. The text of the talks generally disclose the many varied opportunities open to young accountants. In addition to their regular activities, Villa- nova's Accounting Majors attended this year the Annual Philadelphia Accounting Forum that was held at Temple University. The highlight of the Society's yearly program is an annual dinner that honors one of the Commerce and Finance Professors. These functions of the Society supple- ment the classroom work accomplished by Villanova's well organized Accounting Department. The moderator of the Society is Mr. George Chorba, who, as an undergraduate at Villanova, was a charter mem- ber of the organization in 1948. The Accounting Society's President Joseph Mooney, and Moderator Mr. George Chorba, who together spearheaded the organization this year. 46 MARKETING The Marketing Club is Villanova's Chapter of the American Marketing Association. The Club’s pur- pose and goal is to keep the Marketing Majors abreast of the latest developments in the field through their various activities. These activities include monthly meetings which feature guest speakers, well versed in their field, who lecture on the various phases of Marketing. CLUB The surge of interest and growth of the Marketing Club can largely be attributed to President Charlio Stone. He is seen here with the Club's moderator, Mr. Frederick Burgess, who, since 1954, has always worked closely with the officers in the planning of monthly meetings and Club outings. This year, the Club extended its activities spon- soring several social functions. Culminating the organization's functions is the annual Spring lunch- eon and field trip. The members last year after the luncheon, visited some of the finest Marketing Research and Advertising Agencies in the Phila- delphia area. Tho ontiro Club is shown below. Kneeling in the front row are the Officers: Charlie Stone, President; Honry Whalen. Vice-President; Jack Kennedy, Treasurer; Tom Murphy, Sec- retary and Bill Ward, Student Council Representative.

The magazine, formed by several Commerce and Finance students, fulfills a definite need in the division to furnish an outlet of expression for the business student. High level articles on current business activity as well as research and pertinent campus news appear in the magazine. The first issue appeared last spring and the magazine is now on a semi- annual basis. In its role as the publication of the Commerce and Finance School, it is distributed to all business students. The motivating forces behind the magazine are its moderators, Mr. Frederick Burgess, Mr. Patrick Dougherty, Dr. Walter Klein and Mr. Jerome Fischer. Seated left to right: Bill Kelly. Typing Editor, Frank Scarpa (Slido Rule), Research Editor, Jim Groonlee and Paul Donohue, Circulation Editors. Engineering VILLANOVA ENGINEER Men of profession have long realized the neces- sity of pooling ideas and posing their personal find- ings before their group in the form of technical publications. The Electricals through the SME, the Civils through the SCE, and the Chemicals through the AlChE publish papers in the form of a magazine which is one of general interest to all groups. These magazines along with the technical papers, put up for recognition the outstanding men in their field, which serves to encourage and inspire those who aspire to leadership in their field. Checking over the galleys are Jack Gerrard, Jack Essig, Harry Fatkin, and Dick Schloichor. Jake Clancey extends his hand and the position of Edi- tor-in-Chief to Jack Essig. The VILLANOVA ENGINEER performs a function much the same as the publications of the practicing professional engineers, and is compiled solely through the efforts of the editing staff and any engineering students who present papers which meet the standards laid down to them. Such has been the policy of the magazine as far back as the early 20th Century, when it bore the title THE OWL. It was then that the service afforded by literature of this type was deemed Phi Kappa Pi which, at that time, fraternized for the express purpose of stimulating the interest of the student in engineering. The fraternity has long since thought better of providing for the definite social needs of the growing, young engineer and has left the technical paper to shift for itself. 50 At the desk: G.

Under the able leadership of Bob Fredericks, President, and Dr. Clarence Heininger, faculty advisor, the society has carried on a wide range of activities including a lecture by Charles C. Price, head of the department of chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania, on The Nature and Importance of Graduate Study. This year also saw the appear- ance of a society publication containing abstracts of the talks delivered throughout the year. Not all its functions were technical, however. A communion breakfast was held during the first semester, and the third annual dinner-dance was held at the Conestoga Mill on April fourteenth. ton, T. O'Dwyer, A. Pastore, L. Pijanowski, J. Purcell.

AMERICAN SOCIETY MECHANICAL ENGINEERS The student branch of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, under the capable leader- ship of Stan Rodkin, enjoyed a wide range of acti- vities this year. These activities included field trips, smokers and regular semi-monthly meetings, fea- turing speakers from such leading industries as Allis-Chalmers, Douglas Aircraft, the Philadelphia Navy Yard and others. The A.S.M.E. gives the student mechanical en- gineer an acquaintance with the practical side of his work. Students publish the monthly Mechanical Engineer magazine to which its members must sub- scribe. The group sponsors oral presentation of written essays, in order to develop the student's initiative and ability to speak in public. Members meet fellow students and graduate engineers at the regional and national conferences. Stan Rodkin, President, and Tom Meaney, Vice-Presi- dont, have taken over the M.E. office to draft the plans for the future of A.S.M.E. student chapter. PHI KAPPA PI Just rolling along as usual is Walt Gordon, one of tho frat's first bowlers. The most successful year in its history was enjoyed by the Engineering fraternity at Villanova. Rev. John A. Klekotka. moderator of the fra- ternity, guided the group, which saw a great expansion in the social activities of the past year. These activities were highlighted, of course, by the annually successful Owl Hop. Drawing a record-breaking crowd of over 700 couples, the dance, under the co-chairmanship of Tom Loth and Walt Kordek. proved once again to be one of the best of those offered at the Field House. The Phi Kappa Pi smokers, always well attended, offered feature length films and refreshments to members of the fraternity, while the bowling league, under the supervision of Frank Okenka, gave the boys a chance to display their skill in directing the black sphere toward the 1-3 slot. Any student in the Engineering School may join the fraternity and take advantage of the many strictly pleasureful activities. Enjoying himself as much as tho children is John Nottlcton during the Phi Kappa Pi orphan picnic at the Saint Vincent's Girls' orphanage. The officors of the Phi Kappa Pi are: George Gorham, president; Tom O'Rourke, vice-president; John Nettleton, secretary; Gerry Moran, treasurer; Paul Monz. student- council representative; and Bill Woscott. scargcant-at-arms.

President, John Salvo and Moderator, Doc Uhl exemplify student-moderator re- lationship as they discuss future society ac- tivities, among other things. The American Institute of Chemical Engineers is represented at Villa- nova by a student chapter which was started in 1936. The organization arranges technical films, professional lectures by speakers from local in- dustries, and discussions designed to broaden the students' theoretical knowledge and background in chemical engineering or related subjects of interest. Field trips to the various industrial plants in this area are provided to familiarize the student with the practical applications of the processes and theory studied in the classroom. Moderated by Dr. Vincent W. Uhl, the society is under the leadership of President John Salvo. Vice-President Ed Oschell, Secretary Gerry White and Treasurer Bob Sotak. Pictured below are the members of the Student Chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. The Senior members are: Hugh Barnwell, Kirk Brennan, Jake Clancy, Ed Fleck, Jack Gerrard, George Gorham, Jim Hippier, John Hohcnstein, Bill Murphy, Ed Oschell, John Salvo, Frank Smith, Tom Uhlrich, and Jack Essig.

The joint Student Chapter of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and Institute of Radio Engineers serves the purpose of devel- oping the engineer both socially and academically, maintaining the professional standards, and furthering the advancement of the theory and practice of electrical engineering. The society is under the guidance of Mr. John B. Clothier and the Rev. John A. Klekota. Through the efforts of these men and close association with the parent chapter of the organization in Philadelphia, the objectives of the Institute have been carried through in one of its most productive years. Through frequent and interesting meetings and field trips, the mem- bers of the society have taken steps in the difficult transition from college life to an active participation in industry. Society President John Downing, of Who's Who fame, has shown his ability as a leader and an or- ganizer by his efforts in A.I.E.E. A.S.C.E. Mr. John Gallen, moderator, and Charlie Catania, president, are pictured in one of their conferences planning future activities for the civil engineers. Under the able supervision of Mr. J. J. Gallen, the Stu- dent Chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers, which is part of a nationally recognized organization of professional men with common interests, attempts to famil- iarize aspiring young Civils with the operations of the field by conducting periodic meetings and on such occa- sions plans tours to plants, and construction projects, and at times featuring informative motion pictures. Quite frequently outstanding laymen are invited 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 connected with it. Opportunity for closer relations between the members is provided by the informal meetings and inter-class activi- ties. Membership at Villanova is restricted to the upper- classmen of the Civil Engineering School, providing the benefits of the parent organization to a Student Member of the American Society of Civil Engineers.

Its primary purpose is to combine such social and professional activities as are appropriate to the nursing profession. It has long been recognized that the development of the social side of every student's character is an important factor in the training of a well integrated member of society. Through such social activities as the annual Spiritual Christ- mas ceremony, debates, student-faculty teas and dances, this social development has been brought about. The professional development is fostered by lectures by leading members of the nursing profession. Through the integration of these activities one can see that the sorority truly lives up to its motto, Walk worthy of the vocation ye have chosen. Officers of Alphe Delta Chi chat briefly between classes. They are left to right: Joan McAllister, Vice-President; Helen Oiorowski, President; Betty Moore, Treasurer; and Anne Dolonte, Secretary. ALPHA DELTA CHI PI THETA CHI Officers of the Pi Theta Chi sorority discuss plans on the go. They aro left to right: Doris Miller, Corresponding Secretary; Betty Ann Curran, President; Dolores Cofield, Vice-President; and Susie Simmons, Secretary-Treasurer. Comforters of His afflicted is a fitting name for the sorority of undergraduate nurses now in its second year on the Villanova Campus, for one of the main purposes of the sorority is to produce graduate nurses who will recognize their patients as Temples of the Holy Ghost. In February, the sorority joined the graduate nurses of Alpha Delta Chi and the pre-meds of Lambda Kappa Delta in the staging of an informal party—a step toward uniting those organizations whose interests revolve around medi- cine. The religious activities of the student nurses include an annual Communion Breakfast, daily recitation of the Rosary at Our Lady's shrine during October and May and a Christmas ceremony which revives the old traditions of the Yule Season.

The student perfects this skill by applying theory, learned in the classroom, to actual practice. Professional subjects help the nurse treat the body of the patient while psychology courses set up rapport. A tempered social life is the final factor in molding the nurse. The knowledge gained from instruction is appliod in actual practico as the nurse accurately measures her drugs. One of the many rewards of the nurse is the grateful smile of the child she is helping to live again. The big day has arrived as our Angels of Mercy receive their hard earned caps.. A few moments of idle chit- chat come as a welcome break in the long hard day of learn- ing and practice. Naval Science At few times in history has the need for military power to maintain the peace been as great as at the present time. The Navy Reserve Officers Training Corps program at Villanova is helping to fill our country's need for young officers to be to- morrow's military leaders. V EYES RIGHT” The academic and physical training received by the N.R.O.T.C. Midshipmen at Villanova coupled with training cruises during the summer months pre- pares them for their future positions as commis- sioned officers in the Navy or Marine Corps. The N.R.O.T.C. program, formerly named the Holloway plan after Admiral William Holloway its originator, was instituted during the Second World War to supplement the number of young Naval officers graduated from the U. S. Naval Academy. Since the end of World War II the program has come to be viewed as a reliable source of future officers. Villanova is one of fifty-two Colleges and Uni- versities throughout the country that has an N.R.O.T.C. Unit. The Middies work toward Bach- elor degrees in the fields of Engineering, Arts, Sci- ence or Business. In addition to their regular cur- riculum, they are required to take eight semesters of Naval Science to prepare them for the day when they will receive their commissions. Battalion Commander Ed Ernst barks out his orders with dignity and decisiveness as ho orders Pass in Review. The N.R.O.T.C. Drill Team and color guard put on a mili- tary show during half time at the football game with North Carolina State. Captin Curtin proves to bo a true Skippor. His office is a wolcome placo for the Mid- shipman who is seeking counsel and advico. Lt. Col. Wilson, the Unit’s XO, pauses briefly in his busy day of administration. Tho Villanova Middy trades in his sea legs and proves that he can maintain command of the dance floor as well as the seven seas. Sink or Swim is the lesson displayed as the Mid- shipmen learn the A, B, C's of ship stability. Middios recall many happy mem- ories while leaving historic Havana Harbor. PERSHING RIFLES At the completion of the initiation of new mem- bers, the Captain speaks. The newly formed company of Pershing Rifles is just completing its first year as an organization competing on a national basis. The Drill Team as such is not a group new to the Villanova campus. Under the able direction of drill master Walt Gould, they have compiled an impressive record of vic- tories. The list of these victories is too great to mention but a few are worthy of note. The team remains undefeated as champions of the Fourth Naval District for five consecutive years, winners of all phases in the Greater Philadelphia Area Meet, and our heroes came home with first place in the Fancy Drill Competition at the Fifth Regimental Encampment held at Penn State. The company, designated as W-5, is the only all Navy unit in the country and as can be seen, upholds the interests of the Navy very well. While the drill master looks on. the company displays the form that has captured many honors, as it executes To the Winds during half time ceremonies of the Richmond game. RIFLE AND PISTOL TEAM Rifle team Captain Walter Gould discusses a few points with Pistol team Captain Bill Doyle, left. The NROTC Pistol team completed its second year of active competition in the Delaware Valley Pistol League. It ended the season with an impres- sive 4-7 record against these veteran shooters. It is not at the present a letter sport due to the lack of intercollegiate competition with the United States Naval Academy and Penn Military College the only teams stemming from these ranks. Our hats should be raised to this spunky little group. Members of the NROTC Rifle Team, loft to right. Stand- ing: Schleicher, Knepley, Lawler, Gould (Capt.), Ernst, Gordon.

Kneeling: Mc- Clellan, Doyle (Capt.), Wescott, Murray. The NROTC Rifle team, under the guidance of Midshipman Walter Gould, posed a threat to the ROTC Units in the surrounding area this past year. Comprised of members of the NROTC Unit prac- ticing on their own time, the team has beaten each of the ROTC teams even though the loss of several of the stellar shooters from the previous year was sorely felt. QUARTERDECK SOCIETY What'j the matter Pete? Didn't they explain in training what to do with the new accessories in the Pilot's Survival Kit? Seated around the long table are the officers of tho Society, formulating policy. They are left to right: John Stangle, Treasurer; Lt. V. Duronio, USN, Moderator; Bob McCaffery, President; and Dick Yenni, Secretary. Now in its second year as a recognized campus organization, the Quarterdeck Society has a mem- bership consisting of the twenty-five Midshipman officers of the NROTC Battalion. Despite its size this Society is one of the more active on campus, having sponsored several smokers and the highly successful and most unique Shipwreck Ball. Introducing the School of Law . . . the youngest, bright- est, and fastest rising star in Villanova's galaxy of educa- tion. The following pages briefly tell the story of the school and its activities as it races from infancy to maturity and to a role of leadership among Catholic Law Schools. The School of Law Dean Harold Sill Reuschlein (insert above) more than any other individual has been responsible for the tremendous advancomont of the School of Law in the first three years of it's existence. Arriving at Villanova with little more than a briefcase and a promise, the Dean has successfully steered tho Law School ovor many a hurdle and way-mark in its formative yoars. Those whose interests are connected with the school, whether as faculty member, student, or interested obsorvor, rocognizo not only the great efforts of our Doan, but tho quality and caliber of the man himself . . . the first dean of the Villanova Univorsity School of Law, Doctor Reuschlein. 6 The editorial board of the Villanova Law Review.

Representatives from the first and second year classes and officers from the third year class have the duty of managing the activities, as well as reoresenting the Student Bar Association. Situated in temporary, though comfort- able, quarters in the Library, the School of Law in three years has made giant strides toward national recognition in the Law School field. The success of Villanova rep- resentatives in the National Moot Court competitions, the publication of the first is- sues of the Law Review, construction of a new building for the Law School, continual expansion of the Law library, were all capped this year by the graduation of the first class from the School of Law. These many ac- compishments have been the result of fierce and sustained effort put forth by the Admin- istration, the faculty, and the student body. Presenting a curriculum that supplements the theory of the classroom with the practical experience of moot courts, as well as active participation with the practicing members of the local bars, Villanova’s School of Law aims to thoroughly prepare its students for an active role as member of the bar and the community. The Law School Faculty includes: Thomas J. O’Toole, Assistant Dean; Donald M. Collins. John George Stephenson, III. Harold Gill Reuschlein, Dean; Arthur C. Pulling, Law Librarian; Francis E. Holohan. William B. Ball, John T. Macartney. Not pictured are: Law lecturers Peter P. Liebert, III and Michael von Moschzisker. 70 Commencing activities with two preliminary editions in the spring of 1955, the Villa- nova Law Review published two permanent editions in the fall of that year. The success with which these two issues has met servos as a glowing indication of the excellence of the staff as well as tho cali- bor of tho work the Review has contained.

Four-year courses are offered in cer- tain branches of engineering, business administration, and arts and sciences. Both men and women are enrolled in the Night School. The classes are usually small ones resulting in a strong student-teacher relationship. Mr. Eugene Powers directs the Night School as its Dean. Night School information seekers are shown here with Miss Pat Gallagher, Secretary to the Dean. NIGHT SCHOOL Tho average Night School student is serious-minded and somewhat older than the average day College student. At right, one of the commuting students leaves the campus after a late evening class. The Student Council of the evoning school sorvos as An orgAn to which students mey bring their problems. The Council functions as a normal student government organiza- tion to promote social affairs, extra-curricular activities, and harmony between students and teachers. The Executive Board, shown here, has for its members representatives from the various courses of study. From left to right: John Francks, Dennis J. O'Donnell, Stephen D. Flinn, Eugene P. Powers, Dean; Vincent J. Doyle, Mrs. Beatrice M. Cirillo and Ray Lynch. Dr. Phillipson of the English De- partment is shown conducting an informal lecture on British Prose and Poetry. Classes are usually of this size. 77 SUMMER SCHOOL However large or small the classroom, be it in grade school, high school, or college, the rear seats are always filled first. What could bo more conducive to learning than an informal seminar out of doors in the cool shade of our campus trees? In High School days, the mere mention of the words Summer School was sufficient to disturb our emotional tranquility. Even now, perhaps, there is something repulsive about spending a beau- tiful summer morning in a classroom. But as our conception of time duration develops along with our ambitions—or as we fail some of our courses—we find a definite need for extending our formal studies into the summer. The summer-school program was begun in 1919. The school is expanding steadily and, in addition to supplying the needs of the university undergraduate, offers graduate instruction in some courses. The demanding job of maintaining and improv- ing the Summer School rests squaroly on the shoulders of Fr. Joseph Boyle, the Dean. 78 If comfort is essential for effective study, there's no problem here. Who would dare enforco the regu- lation of wearing ties and coats at this time of year? Have cour- age Sisters, cooler days are on the way. During the summer. Nuns from all parts of Philadelphia attend classes at Villanova. For those busy women this pe- riod is the only time they have available to furthor their education and obtain higher degrees. Most of the students enrolled in Summer School aro clerical, but the secular enrollment has been increasing from year to year. Pictured below is a group of Nuns who attended the school last summer awaiting the bus which will take them home after a well-spont summer day. 79 THE ABSOLUTE NATURE OF CATHOL CISM The Catholic training which the student receives at Villanova breeds a solid certainty and individual self-con- fidence. For doubt there cannot be. The Church’s doc- trines are simply stated, absolutely true, and unswerving. They are the stones of a mighty castle which is rooted in the Divine. Veritas 80 — MOULDING CHRISTIAN GENTLEMEN The purpose of Villanova University is to mould individuals schooled in the tradition of the Christian Gentleman, to teach its students the way of the true Christian life. Students are encouraged to attend daily Mass to receive the Sacramonts fre- quently, and to make full uso of the many religious activities on the campus. It is an inspiring sight, especially during the Lenten season, to see large numbers of students advance to the altar rail when the priest proclaims, “Eccc Agnus Dei ... 82 CHAPLAIN Just as there arc few men who possess tho enthusi- asm and energy of our chaplain, Fr. Joseph Kcmme, O.S.A., thorc are few students who realize the hard work and devotion which Fr. Kemme emoloys in his difficult task. Ho teaches mathematics, daily spends three or four hours in the confessional, acts as spiritual advisor, and . . . . . . each Sunday celebrates two student masses in the Commerce and Finance Auditorium. Fr. Kcmmo's sermons at those masses have become known for their pointedness and practical applica- tion to the spiritual problems of the Viilanova stu- dent. i SANCTUARY SOCIETY The Sanctuary Society was organized for the purpose of serving the priests in the many religious functions of Villanova. The members serve Mass, assist at the other holy services, and aid at the weekly chapel exercises. The most important task of the Society is assisting its moderator. Father Kemme, in the smooth running of both the annual one-day retreat in the autumn and the three-day retreat during Holy Week. Pictured below are the men who comprise the Sanctuary Society. The officers are: Bob McDonoll, Pat Young, and Gorry Donnelly. Tho socioty roster contains over one hun- dred names who receive no cxtornal glory or recognition for their services. These individuals serve the honor and glory of God. They sacrifice by rising early and by putting aside other plans to assist in religious ondcavors. Confiteor Deo omnipotenti . . . Society members bring a humblo spirit into the performance of their duties. Complaints are rare although their services arc many and exacting. Most of the student body attends the two annual retreats in the Field House. However, the senior class is privileged to participate in the activities in the University Chapel. The students display mixed reactions to tho heavy schedule of tho spring retreat. 6 A RETURN TO FAITH Twice a year the students at Villanova are re- minded of the importance of the devout life and are brought closer to it. In early October, after the summer's activities, the entire student body assembles to spend a day of recollection, of medi- tation. The day beginning with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, consists of conferences where per- tinent moral problems are discussed, and ends with an hour of prayer and benediction. The second retreat, the most important of the scholastic year, commences the evening of Palm Sunday and ter- minates Spy Wednesday morning with the entire student body of approximately 3,000 individuals Communicating during a final solemn high Mass. 87 Although the seminarians are not usually integrated into the rest of the student body, on some occa- sions they do participate in school functions. The music of the Seminary Choir is always welcome at the annual retreats. Life in the seminary is not all study and prayer. The seminarians are required to spend a part of their day in physical exercise. I V t After basic preparation in the minor seminary on Staten Island and in the novitiate at New Hamburg, New York, the Augustinian seminarians come to St. Mary's Hall on the Villanova campus to spend four years in philospohic training. After the third year of theology in a four-year course at Augustinian College in Washington the awaited day arrives and the seminarians are ordained with the priestly powers. Father John Coffey, O.S.A., is the affable, energetic, and hard-working Master of the Professed in St. Mary's Hall. The seminarians are known for their rigorous adherence to thirty to tho end of the waking day at ten in the evening, a strict daily schedule. The Divine Office, Prime and Terce. these candidates for the priesthood are disciplining them- Sext and None, Vespers and Compline, and Matins and selves for the rich, full life of the monastery. Lauds, is sung daily. From the first morning bell at five- THE DOMINANCE OF FAITH The chapel's twin spires and the crosses at the apex of each building dominating the campus scene. The theology that permeates the teach- ings. The visits of important Church personages, the constant presence of men with consecrated lives. The sound of an early morning chanting from St. Mary’s Hall, the sweet smell of incense on a First Friday after- noon, the evening chapel exercises. Three thousand voices raised in religious song. At Villanova. the Faith is to all sides of us. A glimpse at a portion of the hierarchy of the Church: ... Cardinal Spellman, Arch- Jt. Thomas w.ndow to the rear of the University bishop O'Hara, Father Green- Chapel. Ice, and Father Donncilon. Father Dougherty, the late Provincial of the Augustinian Order, offered the first mass at the newly erected shrine of Our Lady of Good Counsel. 90 Books and pencils arc put aside for serious moments of meditation. The annual retroat provides the students with an opportunity to come closer to their Creator. A familiar scene long remembered in evory graduate's mind, Father Kemme, O.S.A., University Chaplain, offering the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Harold Gill Reuschlein, affectionately termed tho Dean, often advocates a more intimate knowledge of the liturgy on the part of the laity. Certainly his Vilianova Singers are well-schooled in the can- tores of the Church. 92 Caritas LIVING IN HARMONY WITH THEIR FELLOWS Not only does Villanova foster the intellectual life, but the social side of every student's character is also stressed. Initiative and leadership in organized social ac- tivities are important factors in the moulding of the Chris- tian Gentleman. By means of the extra-curricular activity program each student may take part in athletics, and social functions, or hold membership in various clubs and organ- izations. This program is hardly one-sided or prejudiced. Men who display interest and enthusiasm are given every opportunity to rise to the head of the organization, society, or club in which they hold membership. V Campus life Among the many things that a young man loarns while at college, is the importance of the imDression that he makes upon others. This impression is formed in a variety of ways, but the most important singular force in volvcd is an individual's Dcrsonal appearance. Clothing fashions at Villanova are similar to those that one would find on any eastern campus. There is a definite tcndoncy toward conscrva- tivism in dress. Whether the situation be formal, casual, or just plain relax- ation, the Villanova man usually makes a very impressive appoarance. The daily life of the average Villanovan is hardly dull. Instead, it is varied and well-rounded. Many begin the day by attending the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in the University chapel. Classes begin promptly at eight-thirty A.M. and continue throughout the day. Whether he be an Engineering, Business or Liberal Arts student, he finds classes stimulat- ing and thought evoking. Students who live on campus form an integral part of the various societies and organizations at Villanova. Many of these men devote a large amount of time to the less-heralded work of their organizations, such as the actual layout and copy work involved in the printing of the University's literary and informative publications; the production of radio programs; and the planning of society functions. 94 The 1955 football season saw the return of that sport to the university campus. The students wont all out to provide color and entertainment for these games, and from that standpoint were enormously successful. The new spirit that arose within the student body was truly an amazing thing to behold. Much of the credit for this revitalization should go to the Spirit Committee which was headed by Pete Quinn. The committee arranged for rallies, dem- onstrations and parades throughout the season. Though the football season was relatively unsuc- cessful. all was not lost; student spirit made great strides despite the poor team record. With the ad- vent of a new era in both athletic regime and stu- dent body cooDeration, it may be reasonably stated that Villanova will become one of the colorful schools in tho future collegiate athlotic world. Below, tho Marching Band and students represent- ing the various campus societies gafhor in formation for the annual Basca Award Parade. 96 IS FAR FROM Dormant Theoretically, if a man lives sixty years, he has slept for approximately twenty of them. Of course if he is a Villanova graduato, ho has had to make up that sleep in only fifty-six, for life on our campus is far from dormant. The pictures on this page need no cap- tions, for. in a sense they speak for them- selves. Campus life is rich in the activities which lend in the development of men. There are athletics to dovolop the body and whet the competitive appetite, con- tests to encourage teamwork. Other activities are varied and abundant, varied enough to suit every need, so abun- dant in fact that a wholo book has been devoted to them. This page is barely a sampling. 97 August 15 September 13 1896 1954 Very Rev. Joseph N. Dougherty O.S.A. Ph.D. S.T.L . . His foresight, guidance and friendship were a constant inspiration. . . . To him, this building, for which he is re- sponsible, is dedicated. Dougherty Hall is equal to the task of repre- senting a great man. Its simple beauty and thorough effectiveness cannot escape the viewer. DAY OR NIGHT The sun has gone, the spire is etched in dark- ness; but the lights of Dougherty Hall blaze in the evening testifying to the great need the building has filled in the life of Villanova. The lounges serve as gathering places, the second floor offices offer focal points for the campus organizations, while the new Pie Shoppe meets the demands of the hungry, even into the night. 98 STUDENT UNION IS ACTIVE Dougherty Hall in the short time of its existence on campus has become more than a mere building to the student body. Aside from its architectural beauty, it seems to radiate a friendly atmosphere; metaphorically speaking it creates a '’home-away-from-home” feeling; it is a symbol of unity for the Villanova undergraduate. Within its confines are the student dining facilities, of- fices for student activities and shops to fill the personal wants of Villanova's population. It is a building that fulfills the many needs and long awaited desires of the students. For Dougherty Hall we have nothing but praise and gratitude. 99 STUDENT COUNCIL Villanova's Student Council is the University's undergraduate govern- ment. The scholastic year of 1955-1956 saw the Student Council moving forward in concrete fashion with the creation of the President's Com- mittee which performed liaison duty between the Council and the Office of the President and a revitalized Spirit Committee under Pete Quinn. Chief issue in the Council this year was the question of admittance of the co-eds. Although the discussion sometimes ranged on the warm side, mayhem was averted by the young gentleman from East Orange. New Jersey. Dick Peer who handled the gavel. Assisting Dick in Council leadership were Jack O'Rourke, in the capacity of Vice-Chairman and Pete Quinn, who as Secretary recorded the group's words for posterity. Rev. George McLaughlin, O.S.A., Dean of Student Activities, once again supervised the action in the role of moderator.

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS SOCIETY One of the most continental-minded organizations on campus, the International Relations Society, has exerted special efforts to obtain speakers with a first-hand knowledge of controversial issues. Commensurate with the Society’s explicit policy of dispelling the bar- riers of provincialism the topics have ranged from such diverse considera- tions as the Israel problem to the knotty diplomatic relations between the United States and Germany. The higher echelon of the I.R.S.—Phil Taddeo, President; Pete Quinn, Vice-President; John L. Sullivan, Program Direc- tor; Pat Koan, Student Council Representative; and Frank Adams, Secretary-Treasurer. 102 The achievement of familiarity with World Affairs is demonstrated by the Society's activo participa- tion in intercollegiate trips to the United Nations and Washington, D. C. The regional conference at Mount Holyoke College in Massa- chusetts, as well as the National Conference of the Association of International Relations Clubs, hold in Philadelphia, were well at- tended. The Industrial Relations Club . . . Through their activities the group stud- ies and endeavors to learn the intricacies of present day labor • management problems. Reading from left to right in the front row are Bill Fraser, Loo Calabrese, and Art Oda- bash, the Officers of tho Club. -___At President, Leo Calabrese and Moderator, Dr. Wal- ter Klein. I.R.C. Organized in 1948, the Industrial Relations Club was founded for the purpose of fostering interest and understanding in connection with labor-man- agement problems. Renowned leaders versed in present day labor problems, speak on unions, mediation, automation and similar phases of labor-management relations. Moderator Dr. Walter Klein, with the assistance of President Leo Calabrese, has organized simulated group meetings called workshops where these labor problems are worked out. Periodical field trips are taken for the purpose of understanding plant management and noting indi- vidual labor problems. I.C.G. As is stated in the preamble of the state consti- tution, Our purpose is not to preach, nor even to teach, but merely to provide a means whereby students may learn together how their government operates. This is the principle of the Intercollegiate Conference on Government at Villanova. It is the purpose of the ICG to show its members, through participation, the workings of every facet of the government. Each year a state-wide convention which follows the form of one of the major political bodies is held in Harrisburg. This year's convention was the na- tional nominating convention. Chairman of the ICG is Frank Stagnito from Clif- ton, New Jersey. Chapter Chairman, F. Stagnito; Regional Chair- man, H. Seaton; Secre- tary-Treasurer, R. Ryan; Moderator. Dr. F. Khouri. Members: W. Barlow, F. Bonner, R. Brennan, H. Breslin, L. Calabrese, F. Collins, D. Eddington, J. Fox, F. Kleponis, J. Kricg, W. Lesko, J. O'Donnell, E. O'Malley. F. Psyk, V. Romano. R. Serena. W. Skolly, J. Torak. J. Victh, G. Wimberg. 103 Each year the Spanish Club of Villanova University honors a great man of letters, the Spanish novel- ist Miguel dc Cervantes. Cer- vantes Day. which is held in May, is a big cclobration on the social calendar of the Spanish Club. Father Lorenzo Lozano is one of the celebrated figures on campus. Padre's lovable naturo and humble personality are characteristics that impress everyone who meets him. El Club de Espanol, is not only an organization in which the student can enjoy the fellowship of his companions, but it is also one in which he can satisfy his cultural desires. The highlights of the year are, Noche Espanola, in De- cember and Cervantes Day in May. Noche Espanola consists of a spirited program flavored with Latin American and Spanish songs and dances. The festivities end with a short play in Span- ish v ritten by Padre Lozano and per- formed by club members. The high point of the evening is a speech given by one of the honored guests, (usually a member of a South American Consulate or Em- bassy.) In May, a month-long literary contest comes to a close with the Cervantes Day celebration. Students of the Span- ish language submit essays and poems in a spirit of competition. The prizes include a volume of Webster's Collegi- ate Dictionary and the coveted Cer- vantes Medal. Cervantes Day comes to a close with a Dinner and Dance, which is usually held in nearby Norris- town. The Spanish Club has enjoyed one of its better years during the past school term, and the credit should all go to its members, since they supported every function vigor- ously and faithfully. The officers: John Eddinger, President; Joe Kin- ney, Vice-President; Jim Mulhall, Secretary, and Joe Giusti, Treas- urer; carried on tho tradition of the Spanish Club and guided it through a successful year both socially and culturally. Noche Espanola was a memor- able event and Cervantes Day was an equally enjoyable occasion. 104 At tho right. Pete Selesky and President Jim Welsh uphold the affirmative in a debate with Haverford.

BETA GAMMA DEBATING SOCIETY Anyone with a desire to talk and to travel finds his place naturally in the ranks of the Beta Gamma Debating Society. Founded to afford those interested the opportunity to try both their wit and their oratorical prowess in competition, the Society engages in tournaments and debates all along the eastern coast. This year's group, headed by Jim Welsh and Jim Grady and capably moderated by Mr. Joseph T. Jonas, of the Speech Department, has met with much success in con- tests in New York, Pittsburgh, and Washington. Villanova's debaters.

Members of Varsity teams stay in trim by playing basket- ball, by wrestling, etc. A LOOK AT THE WEARERS OF THE LETTERS Villanova University's Varsity Club exists to provide fraternal organization and unity among the men of the various fields of athletic endeavor sponsored by the school. The club is limited to those varsity members who have earned letters in their respective sports. Established in 1953, the Varsity Club has been one of the lesser known organizations on campus. Fr. McKee acts as moderator of the Club. Its officers are Don McComb. President; John Cirino, Vice-President; Bob Power, Secretary; Bill Reilley, Treasurer. The foremost aim of this club is to act as ambassa- dors of good will by being ushers at home athletic contests, assisting the administration with visitor's day or any such program that may arise in which their services would be desired. National A.A.U. champion, Don Bragg races down the track prep- aratory to going over the bar at 15 feet. Ono of tho past year's mainstays at left half-back was small but rugged Americo Rick Sapienza. Rick is an average student, whose first loves are football and baseball. Many commentators and football experts have lauded Sapicnza's play during the past season. Coach Frank Reagan will lean heavily upon this swift break-away runnor in building next year's team. BAND During the football season, more spirit was added to home games by the presence of the marching band. Under the direction of Bobby Schiller and Drill-master Walt Gould, the band ran through its drills and formations while the crowds watched in obvious amusement. This year, accompanying the football team to Boston and during the three home games, the fifty-one-piece organization demonstrated admirably why Villanovans are so proud of their performing musicians. Villanovans interested in music may express their talents by actively participating in the marching and concert bands, both of which are under the very capable guidance of Rev. Joseph J. Burns, O.S.A. At the start of the school year, the marching band was organized and headed by a student of out- standing musical ability. The conductor, Bobby Schiller, assisted by Walt Gould, of drill team fame, lifted the band from its humdrum routine at half times to better, eye-catching formations and drills. At each home game the band was required to put on a new and different show. With the closing of the football season, the marches are put away and the semi-classical and popular arrangements are unfolded. The work of the concert band has contributed greatly to the cultural growth of Villanova men and has done much to spread our spirit and good will. Above: At intermission the Villanovans enter- tain with bit of Dixie. Center: Borrowing from his experience on the Drill Team. Walt Gould barkingly suggests that the marching band get on its feet. Left: Bob Schiller, student con- ductor, and oxprossion personified. The concert band is organized at the end of the football season and after several weeks of intensive practice the members are ready to begin their concert season at the start of the second semester. Traditionally, the oponing has been at St. John's Orphan- age, and from thero the band visits many colleges, high schools, and nursing schools in the neighboring area. The concert band also performs in tho field houso during Junior Week. A schedule of one concert a week is maintained and a good reception is had everywhere. ✓ You are tuned to the ra- dio voice of Villanova Uni- versity, WVIL 645 on your dial now locatod in Dough- erty Hall, beams station manager, congenial Don Alton, as ho opens broad- casting facilities in the new station, starting an- other page in the history of radio at Villanova. Business manager, John Rosica and Production Chief, Ed Shea discuss a contract with Father Ron- gione, station Moderator. During the past year, offi- cials of WVIL signed con- tracts with nationally known tobacco com- panies, which provided for the installation of a teletype machine. Late news flashes, weather re- ports. and sports nows are beamed out as they come to the station through this new facility. Radio Villanova, WVIL, enjoyed the finest, most successful year in its seven-year history during the 1955-1956 school term. The main reason for its overwhelming reception was the new twenty-five thousand dollar plant that replaced the old shanty- type studios behind the Barber Shop. The lavish surroundings provided for the station on the third floor of Dougherty Hall have not only eliminated the congested conditions that previ- ously existed, but have completely revitalized the quality of the programs. Whether it be in the fields of music, news, sports, panel shows, or in the less-heralded phases of radio work—the technical and business fields—each individual associated with WVIL has a part in bringing many hours of listening enjoyment to the Villanova campus. HO The two men responsible for ♦he basic needs of the station, power, communication, and technical know how. Hats off to the unsung heroes of WVIL, technical advisors, Mike Polgar and Jim (Spidor) McEwocn. Any organization is only as good as the officers who fill the positions of responsibility. This year WVIL gathered some of the most capble men on campus to serve as department heads. Here, the various department officials assemble for a discussion of their duties. WVIL One of the largest and most active camDus organizations, WVIL has a membership of 134. The quality of programs is directly dependent upon the individual behind the microphone. In order to insure high-calibre performances each announcer is tostod for his ability to interpret commercial reading, correctness of diction, and program continuity. Those who qualify are chosen for full time station work. Engineers learn the facets of radio work from the technical standpoint. The en- gineer is of primary importance in the production of a radio program; ho is the man who kcops the airways froe, so that everything runs smoothly. One of tho most valuable assets to any radio station is its Supervising Announcer. The S.A. is tho man who performs an invaluable service. He coordinates programs for the evening, ho sweats out, extemporaneously, a show for someono who couldn't make it. ho is the man upon whom one can depend for a top performance. He is edu- cated in every phase of radio work from enginooring to announcing. The Villanova nurses have joined the staff in the position of librarians. They have been an extremely important feature in the ear-marking and filing of records and sta- tion material. The biggest asset incorporated into the Voico of Villanova this year was the tele- typo. The latest news, sports, and weather reports may now be obtained with facility. Above, a supervising announcer scans the type sheet for an interesting bit of news. The brain behind many of the live produc- tion shows is Bill Kelly. Bill heads the very important Special Effocts Department which produces shows of high quality bal- anced with humor and wit. At right, Kolly (center) is shown with staff members John Fusaro and Lou Caliamoco preparing an- other WVIL first. One of the most interesting jobs with WVIL is that of the News Announcer. This man must be well polished in dic- tion, timing and vocal tech- nique in order to be an im- pressive commentator. At right, Jim Heffernan delivers the 8:00 P.M. News sponsored by Lucky Strike. The popularity of the panol show is surpassed only by the enthusiasm of the participants.

The VILLANOVAN The pictorial study displayed on the right is one of Harry C. Nash, III, editor-in-chief of the Villanovan. In the widely varied expressions disfiguring Mr. Nash’s countenance can be seen the emotional and physical stress he undergoes in the course of a week. Few realize the work which lies behind a completed Villa- novan, work placed squarely on the shoulders of the editor-in-chief. Harry, aided by his managing editor, Junior Tom Smith, has the task of constructing the entire paper. Every page must be sys- tematically laid out, copy must be closely scrutinized, a multitude of headlines must be composed, a maze of directions must accom- pany the copy to the printers, and the job is merely beginning. All this work is accomplished by Thursday night, a night of little sleep for Messrs. Nash and Smith. Monday night the dummies must be put together for photographing and subsequent printing. Every detail must be perfected. Articles, headlines, captions, spelling and punctuation must be checked by the editor and his staff. The week's work, however, is far from complete, for another paper must be organized by the following Thursday night. Spurning on-the-spot-coverage, Tom Smith, '57, managing editor of the Villanovan, covers his beat from the office in the most comfort- able position he knows. The Villonovan is published for the students, alumni and friends or Villanova University. It is a paper dedicated to Villanova life. This life, in its actuality, is transmitted directly to the students in the form of news, feature stories and sports. Through its weekly publication, Villanova in all phases of existence is thoroughly portrayed to the stu- dent body. The Villanovan could not attain the success it does without the sincere trust placed in it by the adminis- tration, a trust transmitted to the staff of editors by the paper's moderator and faculty adviser, Rev. Louis A. Ron- gione, O.S.A. This cooperation between the administration and the editors produces a recognized outstanding product. Featuro Staffers, Don Alton, Strictly Opin- ion (soated right), Dick Poor, Peering (standing loft), Jim Bambury and Mike Horan, PUBIicly Speaking, chat after sub- mitting their copy. Rev. Louis A. Rongione, moderator, and Harry Nash confer on the steps of the Mon- astery. While his compatriots dally. Junior Ben Klcmanowicz (seated center) completes an assignment for the sports department. Looking over Ben's shoulder is cartoonist Phil Seefricd. Bob Mulcahy catches up on his reading while Hank Nichols and Dick Brady check the bulletin board for assignments. Feature Editor Bill Jones advises Photogra- phy Editor Sig Holtz, (holding camera) and his staff, on their ensuing assignments. Circulation Editor, Nick Pedano and his well-trained staff prepare the Villanovan for mailing and distribution. This is Thursday night in the Villanovan Office. Present in this picture are those who list tho assignments, proof-read and type the copy, determine tho editorial policy, and in general, bear the burdens of deadlines and harassed news- papermen. From left to right we find Bob Strayton, Sports Editor; Frank Delaney, News Editor; Feature Editor Bill Jones; Managing Editor Tom Smith; Harry Nash, Editor-in- Chiof; Bob Ford, Sports Editor, and Bill Brown and Jack Downing, Copy Editors. Coupling their long experience with the enthusiasm of the undergraduate staff, tho co-moderators of the Belle Air, Fathers Daniel P. Falvoy, O.S.A., and Robert M. Sullivan, O.S.A., manage year after year to turn out an annual of consistently high calibre. A rush of activity in the Dougherty Hall residence of the Belle Air means one thing . . . the deadline was yesterday! Here Phil Taddeo grins approvingly at the work of his typists while John Ferri. Phil Keane, Jack Eddingcr and Joe Torak labor in the background. Don't sweat it Stanley! Recording the events of a year in word and picture required a great deal of effort from a great many people. In the stages of develop- ment, from planning to distribution, tho 1956 Belle Air was admirably administered by Bob Cassidy, Feature Editor; Tom Mclnerney, Busi- ness Manager, and Dick Schleicher, Associate Editor. 116 ASSIGNMENTS Photo boss Dick Bellwoar outlines the next wcok's assignments to photographers Dick Hag- gerty and Jack Monahan. Below, the 1956 Belle Air on the hoof, the Edi- tors. Left to right: Ferri, Keane, Eddinger, ac- tivities; Farley, sports; Schleicher, associate; Fitzpatrick, Editor; Mclnerney, business man- ager; Cassidy, feature; Bellwoar, photography; Quinn, circulation; and Taddeo, typing. Miss- ing is copy editor Torak. Activities, activities, activities, Villanova has the market cornered on thorn. Such wero probably the thoughts of those at the left, who had to cover them, the congenial Messrs. Valenti. McDonnell, Ford and Barrett. Villanova's athletes made headlines this year on the track, on the field, on the court, and in the pool, and the job of getting the story fell to Jim Sherry, Bob Strayton. Bob Farley. Fred Onorato and photog Jack Monahan of the Sports Department. The 1956 Belle Air pictures the activities of a year, yet the purpose of this book is something more. The editors, through a re- cording of the year's events, have tried to capture the spirit of unity present in the student body of Villanova. At a ball game, a dance, the meeting of a society, when studying for exams, the cooperative spirit dominates. And not the least of these ac- tivities is the production of the yearbook. Editors must be chosen, policy formulated, staffs organized: hundreds of pictures must be taken, thousands of words written: pages must be laid out: galley proofs checked and rechecked. The 1956 Belle Air would never have been produced had it not been for a strong unity of purpose behind every under- taking. Business Manager Tom Mclnerney and Circula- tion head Pete Quinn pose with their staffs. Starting left to right: Harry Quinn, Charlos Conde, Herm Eck- rich, Bob McCaffery and Paul Porroca. THE LYNX Co-editors-in-Chief Joe Barrett, a Pre- Law studont from Baltimore, Md., and John Eddingor, an English major from Bcthlohem, Pa., are the men directly responsible for the all-new Lynx. Joe, an adept fiction writer himself, handled the short story section, while Jack integrated the new literary-essay section of the book into a well-balanced and widoly received publication. The Lynx appeared on campus for the first time this year on January 4th, 1956. This issue saw the in- ception of many new ideas, in- cluding the radically new format and cover design. The Lynx is the literary organ of Villanova Uni- versity. It is a quarterly magazine published by the students for the sole purpose of providing a medium of expression for talented underclassmen who wish to write formal literature. It is a well-rounded publi- cation in that its tastes range from serious literary essays to light, humorous works. In the field of creative literature, the Lynx features short stories, sketches, and poetry. In an attempt to revolutionize the magazine, Co- Editors-in-Chief Joe Barrett and John Eddinger studied publications of other colleges and univer- sities before deciding to change the format and scope of the magazine. This year’s Lynx was in- creased both in size, and variety of subjects. The moderators are Mr. James Mitchell and Dr. John J. Phillipson of the English Department. Art editor Barry Ballister, had at his disposal an art staff capable of equalling or bettering the art work of any collegiate publication in America. The Lynx made full use of this asset by interspersing the literature with appropriate illus- trations and drawings. Established in 1947 by Father John J. McShca, the Lynx has grown from an eso- toric publication to one that has a great number of readers. The Lynx has a circulation of approxi- mately 700 copies, 300 of which are sold on campus. t The annual Mardi Gras Ball sponsored by the N.F.C.C.S. is one of the more attractive dances hold on campus during the school year. Below, a group of mombers work on the novel theme of the danco. At right, Ed Fletcher and Bob Schiller discuss plans for the year with club moderator, Father Mc- Laughlin. N. The National Federation of Catholic College Students is a branch of the National Catholic Welfare Conference, and is centered on Cathoic college campuses throughout the nation. The Villanova chapter has been in existence for a number of years, but oniy recently has it come into its own as a top campus organization, under able guidance of Father George McLaughlin. President Ed Fletcher has been the main cog in the N.F.C.C.S. machine during the past year. Ed and members of the organization have contributed much time and energy to its all new program. Ebullient John Rosica is the man behind the scenes responsible for the immense success of the Variety Show. The N.F.C.C.S. group at Villanova boasts fifty-fivo members. This group is similar to those at various Catholic Colleges in the Philadel- phia area. These organizations ofton work togethor, since unity of purpose guidos tho whole N.F.- C.C.S. program. Perhaps the closer association exists when the various collogos work together to produce the yearly Variety Show, during the second semoster. In- dividuals from all the area organ- izations help to produce the show by eithor actively participating as performers or as essential be- hind the scenes workers. � The Singers make their initial appearance on campus each year at the Faculty Ban- quet. Senior club members Dresent in the picture include: Mike Barry, Joe Valenti, Jack Eddingcr, Jack Jannucci, Richie Dunne, George Sinnott, Jim Heffernan, Stan Keane, Tom Mclnornoy, Nick Rinaidi, Pat Kean, Dick Fitapatrick, Bob Ford, Bob Cas- sidy, Jack Padova, Pete Selesky, and Dick Brothers. VILLANOVA SINGERS A major portion of each practice is devoted to learning and singing sa- crod music. As a choir, the club provides the mu- sic for weekly chapel ex- ercises. Retreat, Mothers' Day and Fathers' Day Masses. Glancing at some new sheet music is the capable president of the Singers, Bob Ford. The officers of the Singers rolax around the piano aftor a rehearsal. President Bob Ford is at the piano, and he is surrounded by Jim Hef- fernan, publicity director; secrotary Joe D'Aquila; business manager Jack Jannucci, and Charles Ross, librarian. Missing are student director Jack Padova and Studont Council rep- resentative Richie Dunne. Primarily responsible for the succoss of the Vil- lanova Singors is Dean Reuschloin, choirmaster and diroctor, who has carefully guided the group since its incoption. Two years ago the Villanova Singers were formed in order to provide a group dedicated to the sing- ing of both sacred and secular music. In previous years Villanova had had a glee club and a Schola Cantorum, but the glee club had disbanded a year earlier and the Schola Cantorum was lacking in strength. Dr. Harold Gill Reuschlein, Dean of Law and director for one year of the Schola, proposed the new group, the Singers. The purposes of the new club were threefold' to provide the university with a good singing group, to add to the solemnity of religious exercises that only a vested choir can provide, and to present good religious and secular musical literature. In the last two years the organi- zation has accomplished all that the Dean has set out to do. This year's season, highlighted by the Choral Festival, included also a joint television ap- pearance with Penn from the Palestra, concerts at the neighboring girls' colleges and alumni clubs, and the Mother's Day and Retreat Masses. A 123 The indispensible stage crew prepares the settings for the spring production Detective Mary Screem puts the finishing touches to Charlie Brockman's makeup before the perform- ance. The effective lighting witnessed in recent productions is the work of the very capable stage crew headed by Jack Lavcry. BELLE MASQUE The exciting, intriguing world of the theatre is ably rep- resented on the Villanova campus by the Belle Masque Society. Their many successes in recent years have been due to adherence to a simple, yet exacting, pattern: shows acclaimed on Broadway by critics and audiences alike: excelent acting: authentic, and often intricate, sets made by a resourceful, hard-working stage crew; and coordina- tion by moderator-director Rev. William Krupa. O.S.A. r. Krupa has distinguished him- |f as a fine director in the many ays which have appeared at the ;ld house. THE CAINE MUTINY COURT MARTIAL Between the victim and the instigator of the Caine Mutiny stands the counselor for the defense, Lt. Barney Grccncwald (Charles Brockman). Groenewald knows he must break Quecg (left) in order to gain the acquittal of Maryk (Joseph Ezerski). The fall production was the intensely gripping: Caine Mutiny Court Martial by Herman Wouk. A story of a modern mutiny at sea enacted in the strange confines of a military courtroom proved to be a tremendous success. Playing the exacting role of the victimized skip- per, Lcdr. Queeg, was Donald Seaton. In the course of the play. Queeg. an outwardly calm, self-assured naval officer at the start, degenerates into a sick, grov- elling paranoic under the piercing questions of the attorney for the defense (Charles Brockman). The supporting cast, headed by the Messrs. Murray, Doyle, Clarke, Ezerski, Barrett, laccarino. Erdlen, Grady and Gilligan, acquitted itself admirably on a plain but brilliantly executed set. Lcdr. Philip Queeg (Donald Seaton) tries desperately to main- tain the composure exDccted of a commanding officer on the witness stand. To still his nervous fingers he even resorts to rolling the two steel balls always carried for that purpose. Boforo the seven mombers of the court, the prosecutor, Lcdr. John Challec, questions a Capt. Randolph Southard, an expert on hurricanes and their various offects on tho stability and maneuverability of naval vossels. Take that business about tho strawberries . . . No! No! First the dye-markor incident ... Qucog is cracking at last. The pry- ing, scathing questions of Groonwald have finally achieved the desired ef- fect, and the naive Maryk has been saved at the precious cost of a man's career. 127 V A £ [ £ They three, they're all alone: hi bottle, his rabbit, and he: Bernie Coyne, as Elwood P. Dowd, who gave an hilarious performance, is shown here in discussion with his good friend Harvey. Elwood's frame of mind proved to be most advantage- ous, for his troubles soemod not to disturb him but his friends and relatives. Here. John Reardon and Cecilia Glecson try to sooth a much disturbed Jeanno Ward. Jim Borden and Cecelia Gleeson are shown performing in one of the many hilarious scenes in Harvey. A six-foot, one and one-half inch white rabbit by the name of Harvey went traipsing about the field house stage last spring to the utter merriment of all. This whimsical, mystical, magical hare, chooses to be seen, for the most part, by his very good friend, the rather bibulous Elwood P. Dowd. Harvey's ever constant companion, Elwood, en- acted superbly by Bernard Coyne, has his share of troubles, however oblivious he may be to them. He blithely maneuvers himself in and finally out of the clutches of well-meaning friends and relatives who wish to place him in a sanitarium run by an unhappy psychiatrist and his bungling staff. 128 Elwood P. Dowd labors over a de- scription of his friend Harvey while the incredulous psychiatric staff (Drew Higgins, Priscilla O'Connor, and Jim Bordon) give audience. ALPHA PSI OMEGA Alpha Psi Omega, the only national-international honorary fraternity on Villanova's campus, is making large strides toward expansion after a temporary lapse. During the past few years the organization, under the moderation of Fr. William Krupa, has increased its membership and developed an active program of outside activities. The fraternity is open to all students who have shown excellence in dramatics. Not lim- ited to actors alone, the membership includes stage hands, student di- rectors, electricians, and advertising and publicity agents. Alpha Psi Omega is keeping up with the steady growth of Villanova. President of the diminutive but grow- ing Alpha Psi Omega fraternity is ami- able Tom Curran. The members of Alpha Psi Omega from left to right are: John Henry, Jack Lavery, Tom Curran, Fr. William Krupa. Larry Keiran, Jake Krupa, Charles Brockman, and Walt Doyle. Both the audience and chorus members got a big kick out of the dance steps and country costumes. The dancers never failed to close a numbor with big smiles and plenty of leg. That's Mother James cavorting with the sheriff. Now that Pa's dead, you know, the sheriff is wasting no time. How can an audience pos- sibly remain untouched with expressions like these? Now you get to where you came from, Pinkyl Poor Pinky is heartbroken. Now that Jessica, Don Mattingly, is home, she wants no part of her boyfriend from school. But the final curtain catches them arm in arm. 130 TURF AND TINSEL Somo of the spirited fun and attitude of re- hearsal time is captured by John Jesse Gior- dano and Paul Angel-Face Porreca. I Tho big three—George Noake, John Kelly and Bob Whalen—each lend their individual talents to put over the dancing, acting and music. Planning, auditioning, rehearsal and production are the major steps in putting on a stage show. The Turf and Tinsel show was no exception. Jack Giordano, Paul Porrecca and Frank Hartmann are shown here in the most exacting phase, rehearsal. i i Since 1937, Turf and Tinsel has amazed many audiences with its comedy and capers. Rev. John P. Maher, O.S.A., provides the inspiration and advice as club moderator. This year's production was Jessica James. an original written by George Pequinot, alumnus of both Villanova and Turf and Tinsel. The year of 1955 saw established a new high in attendance and caliber. Consequently, the highest of plaudits should be extended to the club. Under the auspices of President Jack Padova, Vice-President Joe Red- mond, Treasurer Don Weir, Secretary Nick Rinaldi and staff, pictured above, Turf and Tinsel moves into a new season, carrying hopes of good fun, good fellowship, and above all, good performance. Though it be true that boys will be boys, tho men of T T do their best to adapt the female art of the kick. 32 Hardly the way to show off the folks, but here's some of the James Fam- ily—Fungus, Flotilla, Fer- gus and Ma. Not much on culture for sure, but their laughs and antics wero definitely first rate. Among the buildings, along the campus walks, even, at times, in the library, is found that curious organism, the Undergraduate. It is in this creature that the life blood of the university must be found. As cells form the body, so, students compose the class, and classes, the university. These men are Villanova. 134 I The officers of the Class of 1957 this year were, loft to right: Class President Jack Docker, Treasurer Tom Hooker, Vice-President Don Kelly, and Secretary Mike Boruch.

December 10 was the big day for the orphans, as they were taken on the town by Villanovans. Among all the achievements which are credited to the Junior Class, none was so gratifying and heartwarming as the Or- phan's Project held last December. Under the guidance of Chairman Art Odabash and his staff, the Juniors planned, organized, and put into effect a project by which the orphans from St. John's Orphanage, would be treated to all the benefits of a real Christmas. First, an Orphan's party was held at the Home for all the Johnnies,” and gifts were given freely to all the chil- dren. Then, on Saturday, December 10, students from Villanova took the youngsters on a grand tour of Philadelphia, bought them more gifts, and took them to dinner and for a visit with jolly old St. Nicholas in Toyland of Wanamaker's department store. Although the Orphan's Outing is an annual project, this year’s Junior Class went all out so that the Johnnies would have an especially fine Christmas.

Dancing to the music of Harry Yaekel, some 800 couples enjoyed them- selves at the dance, sponsored by the Class of 1958. Held in the Field House on the day before the Richmond foot- ball game, the dance was appropriately titled The Battle of Richmond by Chairman Mike Rafferty and his staff. Varsity footballer Davey Parr is an activo class member, aside from being the top sophomore ground-gainor on the football team. . . . Sometimes a fast one helps to break the monotony, too. Tho Frosh-Soph hop was hold last spring, the first ono of its type at Villanova. 145 FRONT ROW: C. McCarthy, J. Dioguardi. G. McCartney. F. Smith, J. Egitio, L. Rogers, E. McLaughlin. W. Icles, R.

U 1 SOPHOMORES 1958 i Well-known Leo Rogers, a sophomore Arts studont, is anothor example of leadership in the Class of 1958. Since matriculating at Villanova in the fall of 1954, the members of the Class of 1958 have made them- selves known around campus for their spirit and activ- ity. In every phase of campus life, the wise fools have left their impression. Bill Smith, Clem Birch. Ted Macri, and Frank Delany hold editorships on various publications, while John Rosica and numerous of his classmates are active on radio station WVIL. Soph- omore representation on the numerous campus activ- ities is also at an impressive figure. In the athletic field, the Sophomores have proved themselves indispensable to the Villanova teams. In football, Davey Parr, Rick Sapienza, Bill Magee. Don Luzzi, and many others made their marks; in basketball it was Jack Kelly and Tom Brennan; baseball was aided by Terry Hayes; and the track team had Roland Simpson, George Sydnor, and Ron Delany as representatives.

FRESHMEN 1959 The members of the Class of 1959 arrived on campus September 13. The general muddle of registration, getting rooms, and finding the chow hall followed their arrival. Within three days, however, the capable guid- ance of the zealous White Hats had done away with most of the confusion, as well as most of the new stu- dents’ money. Regs” were the first things seen by the upperclassmen when they returned from summer vacation, as the small handful of Orientation commit- teemen kept the twelve hundred Freshmen in check. As the weeks went by, the Frosh became more and more accustomed to the ways of college men. Before they realized it, they were fighting for the privileges of upperclassmen in the traditional MUFF Day activity. By now, they have achieved their esteemed collegiate position. Orientation committee- men Jack O'Rourke and Paul Laughlin explain some confusing rules to two freshmen during Reg- istration. Where's Good Counsel Hall?

A blocking assignment in football, working a weave in basketball, or passing a baton on the track are just funda- mental phases which must be perfected to some degree in order to be of value. Without the necessary prerequi- site of united team action, however, fundamentals can be of no use at all. Unity is the first, the most important lesson to be learned; Villanova athletes have learned it well. FOOTBALL Although the sixty-second year of varsity foot- ball at Villanova produced one of the most dis- astrous won-lost records in the history of football at the Main Line institution, it nevertheless proved to be somewhat of an inspiration for Villanova fol- lowers. As a team, the Wildcats ended with a one victory, nine loss record, but the outstanding accomplishments of many of the individual team members were heartening to a great degree. The backfield, especially the halfbacks and fullbacks, proved to be very effective both offensively, when carrying the ball, and defensively, in protecting against the opposition. The Wildcat runners ac- counted for more yardage last season than they had in the two previous years, and at the same time defended against passes better than they had in the past. Actually, in the ten games in which they participated, the Wildcats were never out- classed, and seldom did they show any of the major weaknesses which had characterized their play for the past two seasons. Fundamentally, the team played good football. Had a few bad breaks never happened, it might have been a dif- ferent story altogether. r j 7 Villanova fullback Al Ci- arrochi starts on a down- field journey as a North Carolina State ballplayer makes a desperate effort to hitch a ride. Frank Reagan, Wildcat head coach, is a study in anxiety during a practice session. Finding some running room, sophomore halfback Rick Sapienza starts on his way to the goal line. Oh, if Mike Barry can only clear that one obstruc- tion from my path. John Bauer, Villanova ground gainer who averaged bettor than 5 yards per carry last season, tucks his head and goes through Richmond's line for a touchdown. Always a homecoming necessity, a student parade winds its way through the campus pre- vious to the North Carolina State game. Pre-game spirit exudes from team followers as they whoop it up at a rally held in the Field House prior to the Richmond game, which Villanova won, 16-14. Hall decorations, gaudy and bizarre, were displayed at each dormitory during the homecoming festivities. Here, the Good Counsel Hall entrant ridos high above the onlookers. Going into their first game a decided underdog, Villanova astounded 60,000 spectators in Municipal Stadium by completely outclassing Baylor in the second half. The Wildcats were unable to produce a scoring attack, however, and lost the September 24 contest, 19-2. The following week Kentucky was host to Villanova in Lexington, Kentucky, and stunned the Cats with a 28-0 shellacking, the worst defeat of the year for Villanova. The entire East saw Villanova receive its third setback, when, play- ing against Boston College at Fenway Park in an NBC Game-of-the-Week television broadcast, the Wildcats were dropped by a 28-14 count. On October 15, the team traveled to Bloomington, Indiana, for a Big Ten engagement against Indiana, and lost, 14-7, after showing an almost impene- trable defense, but a completely impotent offen- sive attack. 158 I Head down, feet churning, Junior Johnny Bauer tries vainly for just a few more yards, as three North Carolina Stato tacklers con- verge upon him. Starting at the fullback spot for the first time last season, tho 190 pound Philadelphian proved himself indis- pensable. 159 Mike Barry, tackle Frank Beeunas, tackle Pete Cassidy, end George Karras, guard GRADUATING SENIORS The Senior members of the football squad played their final game wearing the Blue and White when the Wildcats concluded the season with Day- ton on November 28. Of the ten graduates, out- standing by far was team captain Don McComb, who, as an end for Villanova, received three post- season honors, including a position on the first team All-Catholic squad, Villanova’s Most Valuable Player Award, and the McLaughlin Award for being team captain. Mike Barry, a Senior tackle, was recipient of the Cyril J, Burke Award for the most consistent player. Other graduating Seniors in- cluded: Ends Pete Cassidy, Pat Haley, and Tom Rogers; tackle Frank Beeunas: guards George Kar- ras and Mike Potenza; and backs Ed Ortelli and Frank D'Alonzo. Frank DiSantis, the team’s mana- ger, was also a Senior. 160 I Dick Christy. North Carolina State's highly- regarded halfback, tries to elude Villa- nova's Rick Sapienza as he carries for eight yards for the Wolfpack. Christy, a local boy from Chester, Pa., played an outstand- ing part in State’s victory over the Wild- cats. Surrounded by four Richmond tacklers, Johnny Bauer races for the open field, as teammate Davey Parr watches from a decoy distance. Bauer, who scored 25 points, and Parr, with 24, were Villanova's two highest scorers last season. Both boys scored touchdowns to aid in beating Rich- mond. An unidentified Villanova safety man intercepts a pass dur- ing the Baylor game while teammate Dave Intrabartolo gets ready to block the intendod receiver (top left). John For- roula winds up to throw a pass during the N. C. State game. Al Ciarrochi blocks for him (above). Below, Charlie Bruno sneaks for four yards, on an assist from Pete Cassidy in tho Baylor game.

After losing to Indiana, Villanova returned to the cam- pus the following Saturday to play North Carolina State at Goodreau Stadium. The Homecoming festivities were brought to a gloomy conclusion, however, when the mul- tiple offense employed by the Wolfpack shocked the Main Liners into a 34-13 defeat. Once again, on October 29, the campus stadium was the battle ground. This time, joy in the form of victory came at last, as the Wildcats ground to a close 16-14 victory over Richmond.

State's quarterback, Eddie West. 163 . .With a victory under their belts, the team took to the road again, in quest of more of the same. Talahassee, Florida, wasn't the proper place, and the 'Cats found only frustration as they lost number six to Florida State, 16-13. Then on to Detroit went the journeymen, only to find more bad luck in the form of a Titan team which beat them, 6-0. A trip to Texas, and a 26-14 loss to Houston fol- lowed. Finally, with the sands running out, the season's finale with Dayton sent the team into Ohio for one last do-or-die effort. Failure resulted, how- ever, as the Flyers bombed Villanova by a 19-7 score. Villanova quarterback Ron Gorton recovers a fumble during the North Carolina State game. Frank Beeunas, hitting high, and Rick Sapienza, hitting low, get together for a little teamwork as they bring down half- back Dick Christy during the N. C. State contest. Taking a hand-off from quarterback John Ferroulo, Johnny Bauer skirts the left end. It looks as if he might be tackled by a Richmond safety, but a closer look indicates a Wildcat blocker about to be useful. Sophomore Davoy Parr clenches his teeth as he pulls himself free of a Richmond tack- ier. Parr, in his first season on the varsity, picked up 239 yards in 53 carries for an averago of 4.3 yards. Halfback Rick Sapienza, who was Villanova's third leading ground gainer with 181 yards, struggles to free himself of two tacklers in photo at left. Above, Jack Devereaux, reserve fullback, who showod groat potential all year, is brought to earth by a leaping tacklo after getting 13 yards. 165 A huge line and exceptional backfield supplied Freshman coach Dave DeFilippo with the necessary essentials for an undefeated season. In the four contests in which they appeared, the Frosh completely dominated play, as they rolled up scores of 42-0 (Wyoming Seminary), 27-6 (Prince- ton Frosh). 32-0 (Stevens Trade), and 28-6 (Delaware Frosh). Particularly outstanding for the Frosh Wildcats was quar- terback Jim Grazione. a Philadelphia boy who excelled in everything he did from the quarterback spot. Other back- field prodigies were: Rollie West, a 200-pound halfback, Bill Boegly, also a halfback, and fullback Joe Nardo. The Frosh line was also a bright spot in the future plans of varsity coach Frank Reagan. Ends Gene Opella and Jim Tobin, tackles Bill Craig and Henry Kwaitkowski, guards Jim Cinaglia and Mike Paoletti, and center Jim Palmer held the opposition to a meager 12 points during the entire season.

The backfiold for the Wildcat fledglings proved deadly to all its opposition during the 1955 season. As a team, the Kittens averaged better than 32 points per contest. Sur- prisingly enough, the Frosh showed superior defensive ability also. The opposition averaged a meager 3 points per game. Wait'll next year.

Junior Jack Weissman eyes a Palestra basket as he drives past a Musketeer defendor for a field goal. Xavier won the game, 71-70, however. The Wildcats got the 1955-56 basketball season off to a fast start by knocking off Kings College, St. Francis of Loretto, and Niagara in rapid suc- cession. Working with cool efficiency, the well- balanced Villanova squad displayed a consistent offensive attack and a fast, ball-hawking defense. The physical disadvantage of a small team, how- ever. soon overcame the team's shooting ability, and the Wildcats lost four in a row, to St. Joe's, Duke. North Carolina, and Wyoming, respectively, before they were able to beat Oregon State.

Successive victories over West Chester and West Virginia gave the Wildcats an unimpressive six and tour record. Those games were followed by a loss to Temple in a nip-and-tuck City Series contest, and another defeat at the hands of Xavier of Ohio. A win over Brandeis preceded a trouncing by the Dayton Flyers, and the record was seven wins, six losses. Four straight victories over Washington and Lee, Delaware. Fordham. and Penn made the Wildcats respectable once again, as they displayed their competent early-season form.

The Owls, one of the nation's top teams last season, won a close 80-73 decision over the Wildcats. Disaster in the form of five straight losses upset the Wildcats after their victory over the Quakers. The sharp- shooting Richmond Spiders threw in 103 points to Villa- nova's 73 to trounce the Main Line force.

Some controversial calls and the unerring shooting of John McCarthy gave Canisius an eight-point victory. 89-81. Returning to the Palestra on February 24. the disheartened Wildcats went to battle with their most formidable foe. Duquesne. Led by one of the greatest of great All-Americans, Sihugo Green, the Dukes won the game by an 80-61 count. At this point in the season, the team showed its worst, and was so demor- alized after the Duquesne loss that it dropped a City Series contest to LaSalle's Explorers. The final score was 71-64.

Al Griffith and Marty Milligan teamed to rout the Philadelphia school by a 77-55 score. With two well-earned victories to their credit, the Wildcats met LaSalle for the second time in an intra-city clash. The resultant 76-73 victory was sweet vengeance for the Villanova team, as it concluded the 1955-56 saeson with a 14-12 record. 175 Fred Cohen looks amaicd as Bobby Powers charges Jay Norman in a thwarted lay-up attempt at the Palestra. Once again, Villanova came up with an excellent Frosh basketball squad. The Kittens captained by Joe Ryan, breezed through their first seven games, win- ning impressively from such rivals as King's College. LaSalle and Temple. During this skein, outstanding per- formances were turned in by Ryan, who averaged bet- ter than 25 points per game, Gene O'Pella, whose timely tap-ins kept the Kittens in many close ball games, and Kenny Harrison, a jumping-jack forward with a knack for rebounding. The Frosh suffered their first loss at the hands of St. Joseph's, but followed with a 96-81 triumph over Penn’s Freshman team. After that vic- tory. the Frosh rallied and closed the season with an excellent 15-2 record. Jumping Konny Harrison puts in a two-pointer for the Frosh as teammate Pat Carey looks on.

The 1955 Villanova season was one of joy tinged with disappoint- ment. The record, while impressive, was not quite good enough for the team to be chosen for the National Collegiate Athletic Association district two championships. Coach Arthur Mahan led his men to fifteen victories in a tough twenty-one game schedule. Jack Helm, Jack Peters, Dan Severino and Bill McGarry were the big men at the plate, while the moundsmen were led by Dick Black, John Nagy, Dick Scott and Severino. Helm won l-he team batting crown with a .313 average. Dick Black and John Nagy compiled the best pitching records—both men winning four and losing none. Dan Severino won the most games, five. Dick Black, a Junior southpaw from Port- land, Maine, proved an effective bulwark on Art Mahan's baseball club. Black and teammate Danny Severino were largely responsible for most of Villanova's fifteen victories last season. Both boys returned this year. Coach Mahan is looking forward to this season, 1956, with optimism. Returning to the lineup he has such standouts of last season as Dan Severino, John DiGiollorenzo, Ron LaMontagne, Bob Scalzi, Charlie Digiovani, Dick Black. .Ron Debiak and Tom Casey. These men, with their skill and experience, will be assisted by men who gave much promise as freshmen last year. 179 The returnee from last see- son's squad includo, kneeling, Bob Scalzi, Dick Black, Tom Casey, and Ron Debiak. In the back, manager Bernie Dunn, Dan Severino, Charlie DiGiovani, John Di Giollor- enzo, and Ron LaMontagna.

RIFLE Paced by team captain Hank Miller's average of 282, Villanova's varsity rifle team went through last season undefeated. With Walt Gould. Cas Lawler. Fred Passarella. Frank Moser, and Jim Abernethy on the firing line, the riflers defeated Lehigh, who hadn't lost a previous match in three years, Lafayette, Penn, Princeton, and a U.S. Marine Corps Depot team. Also, in March, the team went up to the National Rifle Association's sectional match in New London, Connecticut, where they placed well. Other members of the rifle team include: Chris Kloss, Paul McLaughlin, Frank DiOrio, and Manager Karl Scheetz.

In the fall of last year, Alex Breckenridge and Ron Delany led the Villanova team to an undefeated cross- country season. A few months later, Delany teamed with Charlie Jenkins. Don Bragg. Phil Reavis, George Sydnor. and the mile relay team to completely dominate the indoor track season. Again in the spring, Villanova won all honors in the collegiate track domain. Charley Jenkins, sprinter par excellence. TRACK 183 Don Bragg, a Villanova Junior, hold all collegiato pole-vault records, and is the only college vaulter ever to do 15 feet. It all started for the Wildcat runners when Alex Breckenridge and Ron Delany led the cross-country team to an undefeated season. Waltzing to easy first place finishes, the Villanova team ran up a season's record of six victories without a loss. LaSalle and Pitt were the first to fall. In the latter meet, the Panthers' Arnie Sowell did well to place fifth, as Breckenridge, Delany, and John Kopil took first, second, and third, respectively, for Coach Hal Langton. Rapid victories over St. Joseph’s, Army, Georgetown, and Quantico followed. In the latter meet, fleet-footed Alex and Ron awed the gallery as they sauntered over the finish line hand-in-hand, a full 200 yards in front of the next runner. Gene Maliff and Don Bragg place second and third respectively in the hundred-yard dash during the LaSalle-Villanova track meet held on Blue-White day last spring.

Richards, Laz, and Bragg are tho only active 15-foot vaulters in the world. The indoor track season began quite gloriously for Jumbo Jim Elliot's proteges. On January 14, the Boston chapter of the Knights of Columbus held the initial indoor meet of the season at the Boston Gardens. In fine fashion, the Villanova competitors indicated what was to come during the remainder of the season by capturing six first places. Ron Delany ran an unchallenged 4:11.2 mile to win handily, while Charlie Jenkins won his third Prout 600 in 1:12.2. Sophomore Phil Reavis jumped a foot over his head in winning the high jump at 6'-9% , as classmate George Sydnor took a 5.4 50-yard dash victory. The mile relayers went around seventeen times unmolested in 3:20, and Don Bragg jumped l4'-6 to .tie with Rev. Bob Richards for pole vault honors. A familiar scene . . .

Ron Delany was particularly outstand- ing in this meet, and ran a 4:06 mile to beat Wes Santee, in the only time that the two ever met on an indoor track. Charlie Jenkins, returning to his childhood environs, was inspired to turn in a 1:09.9 600 in this meet, the third fastest time ever re- corded for that distance. Phil Reavis challenged vaulter Don Bragg. Behind thorn, wearing their most vic- torious smiles, are: relayer Gene Maliff, miler Ron Delany, rclayer Al Peterson, and 600 champ, rclaycr, and world's record holder in the 500-yard run, Charlie Jenkins. outdoor record-holder Ernie Shelton in the high jump, and settled for a 6-9 tie with the world champ. The mile relayers, true to form, turned a 3:20 mile to win that race, also. New York was the site of the fabled Millrose Games the following week. Jenkins and Delany won handily to remain undefeated, and Alex Breckenridge rounded to form with an im- pressive victory in the two-mile distance. Bragg tied for second with a l4'-6 vault. 187 Three of Villanova's distance runners work out on the Field House track during the winter months. Thoy are Alex Brcckcnridge, John Kopil, and George Browne. All three ran both cross-country and in- door events.

George Sydnor, sophomore sprinter, comes in neck and neck with Penn's John Haines, and Duke's Davo Sime in the 50-yard dash at the National AAU's in Madison Square Garden last February. Haines won; Sydnor was second. I The New York Athletic Club. National AAU's. and IC4A'$ were the final three meets of the season, and again showed the Wildcats to be the most dangerous team in competition. George Sydnor equalled the record for the 60-yard dash by running 6.1 in a trial heat in the first of the three meets, and Charlie Jenkins bolted to a new world record when he ran the Boermeyer 500 in 56.4. The rest of the team, meanwhile, settled in a winning groove which made indoor track history. The freshmen mile relayers pass the baton in an attempt to pick up ground on the Morgan State quartet. Charlie Stead is about to receive the stick from a teammate. Delany and Kopil drop to second and third place as the National AU mile begins. At the finish, however, affable Ronnie won handily, with 20 yards to spare, and teammate Kopil came in third. A� It looks like he's laughing, and he probably is. De- laney leads the pack across the finish line, as usual. Distance runner Alex Breckenridge leads the field by a half of a lap while competing in the two-mile run at the Na- tional AAU meet in Madi- son Square Garden. Gene Maliff, who has just finished the 100-yard distance, passes the baton to George Sydnor, who starts on his way for 220 yards during an indoor sprint medley. Varsity relayers Lou Schooner, Denny Rinkacs, Mike Klesius, and Bob Duffy pose for an informal shot in their adopted habitat—the Villanova pool.

SWIMMING Villanova's infant swimming team, which cele- brated the third anniversary of its rebirth this past season, proved to be one of the finest teams in the East. After winning its first meet of the year on January 7 against Seton Hall, the mermen went on to win eight consecutive meets before finally losing to a strong Pennsylvania team. 57-27, at the Field House pool on February 18. Victories were recorded against Swarthmore. Loyola of Baltimore. LaSalle. Temple, Delaware, LIU. and PMC before the Quak- ers defeated Villanova. Particularly outstanding for the Wildcat team last season was Junior Don Couig. In his 200-yard individual medley specialty, Couig broke his own pool record four times last season, with his best time being 2:21.3. Other outstanding performers for Coach Ed Geisz's squad were Sopho- more Lou Schoener. Junior Denny Rinkacs. Sopho- mores Lou Pinto and Mike Rafferty, and Bob Duffy, a Junior. A trio consisting of Couig. Rinkacs. and Schoener also set a pool record in the 300-yard medley relay, doing the distance in 3:12.2 in the initial meet of the season against Seton Hall. 90 Some post-practice horseplay Is entered into In the locker room by swimmers Gcorgo Sinnott.

GOLF Varsity golf at Villanova, though eclipsed in pop- ularity by the major sports, has been a consistently victorious enterprise. Last season, paced by sopho- more Ben Klemenowicz and senior Lou Blanchet. the Wildcat linksmen ran up a fine 8-2 record. Victories over Penn. Haverford, St. Joseph's. La- Salle. St. Peter's of Jersey City. West Chester State Teachers, and Villanova Old Timers highlighted the season's efforts. The two defeats were suffered at the hands of Princeton's golfers, and the St. Jos- eph's linksmen. Members of Coach Jim Elliot's golf corps included: Charlie Stone. Jack Kelly. Fred An- ton. Lou Blanchet. Jim and Bob Mcllhenny. and Joe Gallagher. Golf captain Charlie Stone, above, practices with a nine iron, while at the left, sophomore Ben Klemanowicz is set to tee off.

Bolow, a hoctic momont in a wator polo game shows why this new sport became so popular with the students. With the beginning of the fall semester, the intramural program was begun in earnest. Fifty-six teams competed in the football league, and the Flyweights won the title, 2-0, over the Bruins, in a thrilling defensive game. The tennis tournament was also conducted in the fall, and Junior Vinny Quinn displayed a strong backhand and serve as he won the title for the second consecutive year. Sam Roake won the cross-country run. and Al Reynolds edged out Bill Jones to win the golf championships. Alumni gym was the site of many furious intramural basket- ball contests, as 170 teams competed for the championship. The league was conducted on a round-robin basis. Horseshoe , one of the less strenuous of intramural sports, is a favorite spring-time activity. It is a common occurrence to find lines of students wait- ing to participate at the Mendel Field pits. By the looks of the not hanging from that basket, it's a simple thing to surmise the extent to which it is used. Basketball has proven itself to be the most attractive of all intramural sports. Leo Chcssock, a familiar figure on the mound during the softball season, hooks one past an opposing batter in an intramural softball game. Alumni gym resounded with the bouncing basketballs as the intramural season commenced. A record number of teams, one hundred and seventy, vied for the crowns in the eight leagues. The play was the typical spirited type as the season narrowed down to the final games. The whistles sounded on another successful intramural basketball season, only to introduce the enthusiastic water basketball contests, so popular in the spring at Villanova. Softball assumed its usual predominant position among the spring time activities with the formation of several leagues. The volleyball fans tapped the ball over the nets as the intramural season ended at Villanova. The water polo champs pose with man- ager Jim Bambury.

Variety f MARKS OUR SOCIAL ACTIVITIES Not everything at Villanova was sweat, blood and tears ; time was stolen from our heavy schedules to provide entertainment for the restless students. Villanova gave us a rounded education: providing for our spiritual, physical and social well-being. The class of 1956 exceeded itself in all its social func- tions. The Sophomore Cotillion was their first success, Junior Week—one to be remembered—and the Senior Prom—unequalled in the history of our Alma Mater. Whatever the class of '56 did, was done well; and in their intellectual life as well as in their social life, they left in the history of the University many moments to remember. Af 9 o'clock in fhc morning the Juniors and their mothers assembled at the Good Coun- sel Shrine to attend Mass and hear Father President give a welcoming salute to the mothers. The voices of the Villanova singers chanted Mother's Day Mass in beautiful harmony. i I MOTHER’S DAY Following a successful Mother's Day. Dick Peer chairmanned a novel activity, a Variety Show established to display the latent talents of the Villanova undergraduates. One of the most enjoyable numbers at the variety show was the flapper dance performed by the Juniors. Frank Hartman, Mother's Day chairman, carries on a Villanova tradition as he and his mother plant the class tree. VARIETY SHOW The campus bejeweled with colorful flowers and the sun shining softly into our hallowed halls—this was the day that our mothers honored Villanova with their presence. It was a gala opening for a well-remem- bered Junior Week: a happy preface to the week that followed. It was a great day for all the Juniors as they walked proudly with their mothers along the well-trodden campus paths. It was a happy day, an unforgettable day. one that will always live in our memories. Lovely Jo Ann Harrington—Queen of Junior Week and her admiring escort Al Ligorelll don't seem to hear the throbbing rhythm of Condon's guitar. JAZZ CONCERT The boat of Eddio Condon's jazz is felt by Paul Porreca who shows his fullhcarted approval as the notes of The Saints pierce the air. These are the members of tho famous Eddio Con- don jazz band who delighted the Villanovans during the most colossal Junior Week our Alma Mater has ever seen. 202 Friday night was the night—tho night of the Junior Prom. Dinner jackets and formal gowns mingled in the decorated Field House. Couples were enchanted by the music of Buddy Williams, while dur- ing intermissions Mike Pedicin and his tantalizing rhythm provided an enjoyable interlude. JUNIOR PROM What . . . lack of funds, no tux???? No . . . when there is a job to do someone has to do it, and these men gave up their time to serve the punch at the Prom . . . and by their smiling faces we guess the job wasn't too strenuous. DINNER DANCE As you drive through the street markets of the Italian Quarter of Philadelphia, where merchants peddle their strings of spaghetti, tomatoes, meats, and brightly colored clothing, you will come upon a brownstone ebony-hued building. It is on this site that the famous night club. Palumbo's, is situated. Since the class of 1956 was a large one. a suitable place had to be found to accommodate the four hundred and eighty Juniors and their dates . . . and Palumbo's was the answer to our problem. A closed affair only for Juniors, the Dinner Dance is the event most remembered with affection, and on account of this, Richard Fitzpatrick—who successfully chairmanned the. dual event—went all out to provide the class with the best entertainment of the week. It was a wonderful night, wasn't it, Jim? A book of verses beneath the bough, a jug of Coke? a loaf of bread, spaghetti and thou beside me singing at Palumbo's, oh Dinner Dance were Paradise enow.” The food at Palumbo's is terrific! . . . and Ray Kenneth shows approval on his smiling face. The Juniors enjoyed a delicious three course dinner, good music and an entertaining floor show which was culminated by the presentation of Napoleon Reed—famous singer from the show, Carmen Jones. At last the Dinner Dance, the event that closed with a golden brooch the activities of our great Junior Week, was a reality. All the dreams and plans of months were lived by the joyous Juniors; all the tense moments of flower and tuxedo ordering, hotel reservations, et al, became a thing of the unforgettable past. SENIOR PROM Often seen around the campus, either working in the radio station or taking part in pep-rallies or other extra-curricular activities, Pete Quinn and Elaine Heiscr were a welcome sight everywhere. Hero's a toast to Villanova's most outstanding couple. We came back to Alma Mater full of pride and certain regret, for we were Seniors and soon to leave the beloved hallowed halls. Yes. we were Seniors, and as such, we were going to have a Senior Prom—our last Prom at Villanova. Buddy Morrow's band was signed and the Field House was beautifully decorated for the occasion. We picked the theme of our Prom to be Moments to Remember, and the event really lived up to its name ... for we might leave Villanova and never come back, but we will always carry within our hearts those moments to remember . . . those unforgettable moments. Two Commerce and Finance students, Nicholas Mazxoni and Henry Guorrisi talk about the latest fluctuations in the stock market, while Greg Gehr- ing is distracted by his date. She wants to dancel 206 Dim lights, the voice of a singer, a shadow on the wall, the sounds of soft music in the air . . . the scene . . . Buddy Morrow's Band . . . the event . . . our Senior Prom. I The two chairmen of the Senior Prom, Paul Mem and Davo Burns seem mighty pleased with their lovely dates, as they exchango gifts in front of the centerpiece. SENIOR DINNER DANCE Li After the Senior Prom all thoughts were turned towards the second event of our Senior Weekend, the Dinner Dance. Follow- ing the tradition of the Class of '56 it was another laurel on the class' wreath. Palumbo's was filled to capacity as the Seniors enjoyed their lost major social event. 18 « ?■ Though it was possible to get cokes and other soft drinks at the Dinner Dance, the all-around call was for red, sparkling wine. This table follows the Italian tradition which says that no meal is complete without a cup of wine ... as Gio- vanni pours ... I The more agile seniors dance while the lazier ones enjoy a plus-cafe and wait to see if there is another course to be served. Always a gentleman, Mile Potcnxa plays the Beau Brumme as his pleased date looks on, above, right. What's the matter Bob, no arms? Lucy is really getting a kick out of feeding a big boy like you, right. Our class president, Jerry Guerrisi, and the Dinner Dance Chairman, Tom Mc- Inerney, present a class gift to our Moderator, Rev. Thomas Calpin, O.S.A.— in appreciation for his un- tiring work, loft. Waltzes, foxtrots and other musical rythms were played, but Frank and Pat preferred to cut a rug. 4 The men on the Who's Who list engaged in diverse activities. Joo Barrett and Jack Edd- ingcr excelled in their editorship of the Lynx— our literary magazine. Paul Poreca and Jack Gilfillan, class drummers, took part in many of the important events of the class. And a toast to Phil Butler, teacher-to-be. for his marvelous decorations. THE CLASS OF 1956 w Probably the biggest honor to be achieved at Villanova is to be selected among the Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities. The annual coveted award is based on a number of factors that show up over the course of a man's college career: his scholastic acumen, his interest and participation in extra-curricular activities, his character traits of leadership and discipline, his in- tangible contributions to the University and his potential worth to society upon graduation. We will turn the calendar back four short years and reconstruct a few scenes familiar to each and every member of the class of '56. Freshman year—September, 1952. Over 600 lost sheep filed through the maze of the Field House for Registration, 640 freshman lost among strange faces and strange surroundings. During this Orien- tation Week, we became acquainted with other lost sheep, and better acquainted with blue dinks, white hats, and handbooks. Bob Ford and perennial treasurer Frank Adams were tops among the Who's Who. Those of us who stayed took up abode in .the Barracks; those of us who come and go adjourned to the Pie Shoppe. We learned the Alma Mater under the direction of a musically inclined freshman tooting a small harmonica in the Commerce and Finance Auditorium. Football season started, calling to mind the fabu- lous Parris Island game in Goodreau Stadium. We began our long string of firsts, a word synonymous with the class of '56, by losing Muff Day to the Sophomores. Spring saw our first venture into politics, and the campaigning won the presidency for Bernie Stein- felt. We returned as Sophomores, renewed old ac- quaintances. and made a new one. From that day on Father Calpin has been our Class Moderator, guiding us with originality and loyalty. Our first activity as a class was the Sophomore Cotillion, which broke all previous attendance records. Distinctive for their Villanova spirit and for their achievements in their four years at Villanova are the individuals pictured at right: Owen Hickey, DPM President; Dick Fitzpatrick, Belle Air Editor-in-Chief; Harry Nash, Villanovan Editor; Jack Padova, Turf and Tinsel President; Dick Peer, Student Council President; and Tom Mullen, Class Vice-President. Missing is John Downing, A.I.E.E. President. During this year the Class of '56 was making its influence felt in activities at Villa- nova. Many of us underwent our fraternity initiation here on campus, and across the tracks the Rosemont Commandoes were be- ing indoctrinated. Harry Nash became President. . . Midshipmen l c Ed Ernst, Walt Gould, and Don Alton plan an invasion, something which, someday, thoy may do in reality as officers of the Marine Corps. ... in the spring elections, another first in which the highest percentage of class votes on record was cast. For the first time, rings were ordered in the spring. The last days of May saw the fall of Brown Prep, under the supervision of our very own General. The Belle Air Yearbook wouldn’t have been what it is without the work of these two hard working editors, Bob Farley and Phil Taddeo. The opening of Junior year brought with it a new million dollar dormitory and a 10c cup of coffee at the Pie Shoppe and only a memory of the Barracks. The Blazer Ball, marking the first official wearing of the blazers, came in early October. The Christ- mas season featured the Charity Ball and Orphans' pary. Our basketball squad top- pled North Carolina State, second-ranked nationally, and gained a berth in the NCAA tournament. The Business Whirl, a new business magazino pub- lished by the Commerce and Finance School was the product of these three energetic C F'rs— Hank Whalen, Phil Keane and Bob Cassidy. 212 Spring saw the advent of a new organization here known to everyone as the S.A.P.A. The close of Turf and Tinsel ushered in the long awaited, never to be forgotten Junior Week. Monday, Mother's Day: Tuesday, the Talent Show; Wednesday, the Jazz Concert; Friday, Junior Prom; and Saturday, the Junior Dinner Dance. The following week, Frank Hartmann was elected class President. In our Senior year, a new election, necessitated by Frank’s entry into the seminary, gave us a new President, and Jerry Guerrisi took the helm as operations started for our last year at Villanova. The football season passed, and members of the class of '56 played their last game. Captain Don McComb was named Most Valuable Player, and lineman Mike Barry, Most Consistent Player, by the Villanova Alumni Association of Philadelphia. The Senior Prom and the Dinner Dance were the last page of the class of '56 social calendar. Men of Villanova . . . these are your moments to remem- ber 213 In eternity our life span is inconsequential. Yet the short time that is our lives is the most important, for life is but a trial which determines our place in the eternal scheme of things. As graduates we are to face for the first time a completely free and self-determined mode of existence. Our four years at Villanova have been a preparation for that portion of our lives. Though we all differ as individuals, we are united, for we all have been formed in one mold, that of the Christian Gentleman. 214 MARIANNE ADAM R.D. it I Strusburg, Lane Co.. Pa. • J. P.

Class aj 956 283 Unitas The Training of the Whole Intellect and Will Four years have passed by and now we face fhe future. Through the years many acquaintances have been woven into a strong chain of friendship. The officers of the Class of 1956: President Jerry Guerrisi, Vice-President Tom Mullen, Treasurer Tom O'Rourke, and Secretary Roy Zim- merman were instrumental in making our last year a me- morable one. The closing days of the semester will be spent wishing success to one another and hoping for a meeting in the near future. Editor-in-Chiif Richard B. Fitzpatrick Business Manager Thomas A. J. McIncrney Jr t ii i: It E L L E A I H VILLANOVA UNIVERSITY VILLANOVA, PENNSYLVANIA March 10, 1956 Dear Mother and Dads Yesterday, when we put the final touches on the Year- book, and we realized that our job was now completed, there was a feeling of elation and satisfaction among us unlike any sensation we had ever before experienced. It was a curious blend of happiness and melancholia, the thrill of having done and the sadness in knowing there was no more to do. You, above anyone, should be aware of all the minor crises that we met along the way, but I must tell you the people who are really responsible for overcoming them. Father Daniel P. Falvey and Father Robert M. Sullivan, the co-moderators, were the supervisors of the production of this book. Danny Solari of the William T. Cooke Publish- ing Co., and Joe Durinzi of the Carl Wolf Studios rendered invaluable technical assistance and advice. John Loomis of the Olney Times permitted us the use of his aerial camera and airplane. A group of hardworking, dedicated classmates, the members of the staff, without whom nothing could have been done, actually put the pages together. This 1956 Belle Air is my gift to you, Mother and Dad, as I am sure it is the gift of every graduating senior to his parents. It is an expression of our deep gratitude for the rich Catholic heritage that is ours because of your love and your foresight in sending us to Villanova. I am happy we have finished, I am sad we have no more to do, I extend my appreciation to all those who made our book a reality. On behalf of all the members of the Class of 1956, Thank you Mother and Dad, here is your Belle Air.
