JOHN J. BEGGS

“ John” “ S o w thou d o st sm ile .” H is happy sm ile, his gen ial look are found Wherever you turn— in the class room, in the corridors and on th e busy street. W intry storms may break over th at sm ile and darken the face w ith shadows but ju st as sure as the sun shines in the heavens more brillian tly affor the storm is o ’er, so J o h n ’s gleesome sm ile gladdens your sigh t as i f a storm cloud had never ruffled that face. John is a thinker, slow but sure but once he im presses and stam ps the thought into his own mind, you could never drag it out o f him w ith a legion o f k in g ’s horses. John has n ot told anyone where he is g o in g but wherever he wends his way the com bination o f th at happy sm ile that power o f intellect w ill make o f a man o f consequence.

CHARLES J. BRADY Orchestra (3-4); Sodality (3-4)

“ Charlie” ‘ Then let the tru m p et sound the n o te to d e fa r t. ’ ’ In gazin g upon this chap we may v is ualize a thoughtful, deep-thinking citizen, who would find it im possible to violate one rule o f conduct. However, those ser ious lips and appraising eyes are not to be trusted, for i f he is placed within four seats o f Tarrant he relaxes from one fit o f merriment only to go into an other. ' 1Chas ’ ’ has proven him self an earnest student and has won great laurels as a musician. B e it class night, banquet hall or social fete, ‘ ‘ Chas ’ ’ and his trusty cornet are in great demand. Dame Rumor hath it that Brady w ill shortly join S o u sa ’s band o f musical immortals. I t is C harlie’s ambition to be a drug d is penser and he w ill study at Fordham Pharmacy in the fa ll in company with his inseparable comrade, Tarrant.

THOMAS P. BRENNAN “ Tom ” “ W ith so ft hair sim p ly f o ld e d .” ‘ ‘ Tom ’ ’ w ill be remembered for liis joyous sm ile a n d . for his intellectual stam ina. H e was a conscientious worker, and the results he achieved, repaid him for h is lab oi. G ifted w ith a good mind, lie culled the fru its from the classics and collected the beginnings o f a vast store o f learning. The A lum ni o f ’24 w ill sm ile again when they hear the radiant and joyous laughter o f “ T om ’ ’ that went re-echoing down the halls and cor ridors o f old St. P e te r ’s. A ided by the m any wondrous qualities th at have won him success at St. P e te r ’s we wish him Godspeed in the halls o f Fordham U n i versity where we hope to see him gradu a te w ith honor.

JOSEPH L. BROWNE Chairman of the Vigilence Com mittee (4) “ M udguard” “ Jove, I thanlc thee, I w ill sm ile .” Our “ J o e ” is the epitom e o f dign ity and gentlem anly conduct. H is decorous bearing, and a goodly fund o f general knowledge have made ‘ ‘J o e ” one o f the bright ligh ts o f the class. “ J o e ” can discourse at length on alm ost any sub je c t and his nim ble w it and huge vocab ulary have made him fam ous both in his E nglish Compositions and in the class de bates. In athletics too, he has proven him self a man o f no mean ab ility as the record o f the class football team s w ill te stify . N or has “ J o e ” been lax in supporting school activities as well as class interests. H is plans for the future are as yet unknown to us but we wish him the fu llest measure o f happiness and success that life can afford-

EDMUND A. CANNON Sodality (2-3-4) Midget Basketball (4) “ A n d all th e courses o f m y life to show, 1 am n ot in th e roll o f common m en .” Who is there in these renowned w alls more business-like than E ddie Cannon. A more loyal, true hearted, and generous P eterite has never existed. “ E d ” w ith his jovial disposition, and ready w it, has endeared him self to his class-m ates. A s a member o f the M idget B asketball team he has been an invaluable asset. In his unpretentious w ay “ E d ” has always in some w ay or another advanced the in ter ests o f both the class and the school. We have heard nothing, as j e t , concerning his plans for the future, but we confi dently predict no mean share o f success for our “ E d ,” >for the word “ d e fe a t” does not appear in his vocabulary. Good luck and God-speed you, ‘ ‘Ed. V

JAMES E. CLARKIN “ Jim m y ” Sodality (3-4) “ I am content* while I talce order fo r mine own affairs Some folks say that Jim was born with a L atin grammar in one hand and a baseball bat in the other, and th a t he im m ediately used the L atin grammar as a base and started to play the national game. We do not entirely believe this story and neither do we believe the ru mor that the first words Jim uttered in the cradle were ‘ ‘ four bawls; ’ ’ N ever theless we do believe that J im w ill end up in John M cGraw’s collection o f stars. That is, always supposing that John MeGraw is able to entice Jim m y away from his Cicero, for we may remark that Jim is not lim ited to one field o f excellence but dives into any difficulty, either of the athletic field or the class room and has always emerged so far 1‘(right side up ” as we trust he w ill always do in life.

B. E. CLEMENTS “ B a rt” Debating (2-3-4) ‘ The B ish op o f B ayonne— who hath been h ith er sen t, on th e d e b a tin g .’ * I t was a hard fou gh t stru ggle, but a f ter four long yeai's, the end has come. I t w as not like the fa ll o f Troy, the city th at held out again st its enem ies for ten years and then fe ll, d efeated. ‘ ‘ B art ’ ’ stood forth, a fter the clouds o f battle had cleared away, a hero. H e had con quered Csesar, Cicero, X enophen, V irgil and Homer. ‘ ‘ B art, ’ ’ while in our m idst, showed much talen t as a speaker, being numbered am ong the m any prominent members o f the B eaudevin D eb atin g So ciety, and some day in the near future, we expect to hear o f him, delivering a speech before Congress. U n til then we w ill w ait in earnest expectation. W her ever he may go, we wish him success.

W. KENNETH CLOSE “ K en” Beadle (3); Sodality (3-4) Midget Basketball (4) “ S e r e is a true, in du striou s fr ie n d .” A n honest sm ile— a kind word— a ready hand—-that is the story o f our K en n eth ’s four years a t S t. P e te r ’s. W hile among us he has assiduously applied h im self in all phases o f school lif e ; as our librarian he gave freely o f his tim e and proved him self a capable worker. B asketball claimed his attention and ‘ 1Ken ’ ’ won a regular place on the 4A2 quintet. A l ways optim istic as to th e trend o f events and. always dispersing with his ready sm ile the pessim ism o f his classm ates, ‘ ‘ K en ’ ’ has warmed h im self into our hearts. A g a y and assiduous worker cannot but m ake his mark in the world. Thus it is, K enneth goes forth from St. P e te r ’s with the best and sincere wishes of his class-mates.

JAMES J. COOLAHAN “ J im m y ” Sodality (3-4) “ M any a pound o f m ine own proper S tore. ’ ’ A fter years o f hard train in g within the staunch grey w alls o f St. B r id g e t’s our Jim m y emerged victorious and im me d iately enlisted for the cam paign against Csesar and Xenophon. W ith victory in his hand Jim m y has now arrived at the next point in his life . In th is husky Senior are infused all the qualities by which a good student m ay be known. A lthough a scholar o f excellent atta in m ents and a student of. unsurpassed spir it he shines more nobly in his mild and kindly spirit. I t lias been rumored that Jim m y w ill d aily bounce his w ay up to Fordham on the ‘ bronchial tubes ’ ’ and we leave him, confident th at he w ill make as great a triumph o f his career at the Bronx as h e did while en joyin g a sojourn a t Grand/ Street.

\J PATRICK J. COSGROVE “ Cos” Debating (2); Sodality (2-3-4) “ A lw a y s h a p py and Jcind” “ P a t ” is happiness personified, spark lin g v ivacity b ein g typified in his cheerful sm ile. H e is popular w ith in structors and fellow -elassm ates, and none strives harder at all tim es to uphold the honor o f St. P e te r ’s. A t every baseball, football or basketball game could be found this friendly youth “ r o o tin g ” vo ciferously, and urging the team forward. Conversation is lively and interesting w hen ‘ ‘ P a t ’ ’ is present. H e commands a w ide circle o f friends and is forever adding to it but never causes it to de crease. Zenephon ’s Anabasis may incur ‘ ‘ C os’s ’ ’ displeasure at tim es, but that is only momentary. H aving the character istic traits for success, we know that “ C os” w ill surely make St. P e te r ’s feel proud o f him.

JOHN P. COUGHLIN

“Count” Sodality (4) “ M ild and too w ell g iven to dream ,” T his serene young man, who regards the terrors o f “ J u g ” w ith the same ealm assurance th at he displays towards the classics is none other than ‘ ‘ The Count. ’ ’ H e is so lo fty th at the door was raised four inches for him la st term and so im portant th at even our learned P h ysical T raining instructor never u t ters a command w ithout adding the ad m onition to “ do it w ith the Count. ’ ’ The Count is engaged in some very renum erative affairs outside o f class and is a financial power in our community. The assurance he displays tow ard “ J u g ” and L atin, needless to say, is founded on the fa c t th at h e is in no danger o f one and is alw ays able to give a first class perform ance in the other.

ROBERT A. COYLE

“Bob” Sodality (3-4); Football (3-4 Midget Basketball (4) “ M y presence like a robe pontifical, N e ’e r s e e n b u t w ondered a t . ” Though c a r e fr e e , “ B o b ” has always assumed a most serious demeanor in any affair pertain in g to school activity. This was made m an ifest on the gridiron when ‘ ‘ Bed, ’ ’ w ith his Herculean limb and courageous heart, crashed through the opponent’s line, on innumerable occas ions. H e forever m aintained a “ Never say die ’ ’ spirit and thus was a decided asset to St. P e te r ’s backfield. However he did not fo rg et the m ain and forem ost purpose o f his presence at St. P e te r ’s, which fa ct is corroborated by the condi tion of his report card. In the past, H oly Cross College has claimed our pre eminent heroes, and the custom w ill not be discontinued th is year for in the fa ll our *1B ob ’ ’ w ill enter those hallowed fi w alls, where he w ill lavish fam e and re\\ nown on both St. P e te r ’s and him self. Ap

T. CHARLES CROWLEY “ Doc” Sodality (3-4); Debating (3-4) ‘ ‘ O born in d a ys when w its w ere fresh a n d clear ’ ’ ‘ ‘ The D o c 1’ w ill be remembered by all o f us, not only for his debating skill and his propensity for doing the “ im possible examples ’ ’ in m athem atics, but also be cause there are few in the class whom he has not d efeated in handball. H is hand w ritin g has been the despair o f every teacher who has met it but such is the “ D o c 's ’ ’ recognized a b ility that all fe lt p retty sa fe in m arking the papers 100% even i f untranslatable. The most pro nounced quality o f the m any that adorn ‘ *the Doc ’ I is his perseverance. W hen ever he gets an idea in class it requires a great amount o f tact and no sm all d e gree o f determ ination to stop the im pas sioned eloquence that “ the D o c ” emits and this quality in itse lf should make him as successful as his comrades wish.

WILLIAM J. CURLEY “ B ill”

Prep Basketball (4) ‘ ‘ Who ever y e t hath stood to ch arity, O f disposition , g e n tle .” St. B r id g e t’s Parish in her history has sent us many a noble soul but none more unassum ing, more generous, than B ill. B e it said to his everlasting credit that he has never been known to say an un kind word to anyone. Thus h i s 1friends are legion. Combine with this w onderful quality a constancy to study and rare ab ility as an athlete and you have the m ental picture o f our ‘ ‘ B ill. ’ ’ But modest and retiring as he is, he could not hide entirely his talents. A s forward on the “ P r e p ” squad, sure o f eye, fleet o f foot, and uncanny in carrying the ball, he has helped considerably to chalk up many a victory for Alma Mater. N eedless to say B ill has won a place deep in our hearts, and in years to come, he w ill build a monument more la stin g than bronze. Goodbye, B ill, we are better for having known you.

RAYMOND F. DELANEY “ B ay” Class President (2) Sodality (3-4); Debating (4) M l love noi ho low cheek or fa d e d e y e .” Ray comes to us daily from fa r off C lifton and this fa c t gives him m any ad vantages <over his city dw elling friends. For instance when ‘ *R ay ’ ’ appears at the unusual hour o f 10.30 he passes to the class room unhampered by prefect or teacher. For our P refect has not the unkindness to “ j u g ” a fellow when the E rie R. R. d id n ’t even run the train he was supposed to board. 1‘ D el ’ ’ has <one o f those “ you-cantJs seare-m e” grins and he displays it even at the veritable | zero ’ ’ hours o f the class when a fellow wonders i f he w ill “ go over-’ ’ in his translation while the professor i s search in g for the next victim to be sacrificed. I f -his successes in the future equal his. triumphs at the Prep ‘ R ay ’ ’ has indeed a prom ising future ahead o f him. /

JOHN R. DeLONG “ John” Prefect Sodality (1) Petrean Editor in Chief (4) Petrean (2-3-4); Debating (3-4) “ O y e t a nobler ta sk a w a its th y h a n d .” From the first day th at th is industri ous young man entered the hallowed por tals o f St. P e te r ’s his career has been one o f ever increasing brilliancy. In truth, John is an energetic scholar. H is happy manner and his eagerness to a s sist others have won for him many friends in the school. Due to his literary qualifications he was w isely appointed editor-in-chief o f the P etrean staff and the success o f our monthly is a sufficient encomium for his efforts.. M any a zero is seen on J o h n ’s report card but always w ith a nine or ten before it. The ease with which her tackles scientific problems is an indication o f the success th at w ill be his wheji confronted with the perplex ities of later years.

CLIFFORD P. DOERLE Sodality (1-2-3-4); Football (3-4) “ 0 , Clifford, whose fro w n hath made thee f l y ere th is ? ” A quiet and sincere lad is Clifford. We hear little about him now but it is of men o f that sort o f whom we hear a great deal in a fter life . “ C lif” always gave his best to the Prep. In his last year he earned by dint o f constant prac tice the place o f su bstitute half-back on the footb all team. W hile he was spurred on to devotion in the athletic field, he was not n eglectfu l o f the Classics. I f he continues this moderation in the a tta in ment o f his physical, his intellectual and his moral ends, he may not be a great man over nigh t but he w ill day by day strive and, striving w ith might, and main, succeed in becom ing/a representative c it izen;

JOHN FRANCIS DOHERTY “ Doc” Sodality (2-3-4); Pres. Debate (4) Business Manager of Cephean (4) Midget Basketball (4) “ B u t thou p ossessest an im m ortal lo t.” Four years ago we met ‘ ‘ Doc, ’ ’ a gentlem an o f the highest type. H e came to us with all the spirit, vigor and deter m ination o f a youth, and soon endeared h im self to the hearts o f his classmates. The pinnacle o f the class was his con stant aim and i f anyone disputed his po sition, | ‘ Doc ’ ’ was ever ready to draw his smooth y et sharp weapon o f debate to conquer the invader. ‘ ‘ D o e ’s ’ ’ a b ility as a financier shone forth b rill ian tly during our Senior Year, when, seated upon the prodigious throne of B usiness M anager o f the Cephean, he ruled w ith stern and unflinching hand. Sadly from our hearts do w e bid fa re well to our friendly, active and energetic classm ate, w ishing him the crown of suc cess, and hoping to see him a leader o f men.

JOSEPH E. DONNELLY “ D on” Library (4); Sodality (3) “ H e bore a m ind th a t en vy could not b u t call f a i r .” D on heads the list for gentlem anly habits and persistence in studies, and as far as school sp irit goes Joe is there when needed, alw ays ready to help, pro vided the P aterson train arrives on time. N o t a call for basketball candidates was sounded but w hat Don was on deck ready to do his best in the interests o f his A l ma M ater. N ex t to his L atin, Joe prides him self on th e waxen finish hair comb he is ever encouraging, and w ith this in mind comes fu lly supplied w ith divers combs in his pocket. H is genial disposi tion has won for him a host o f friends who regret to lose a friend so popular am ong them.

THOMAS E. DONNELLY “ Tom ” Sodality (2-3-4) ‘ * God m ade thee good, A s thou a rt b e a u tifu l.” Bear w ith us, kind reader, while we endeavor to delineate the qualities of th is noble character. Tom is the typ e of youth whom w e are proud to call “ fr ie n d .” A lthough he did not engage, actively in athletics y et he was always an ardent rooter for St. P e te r ’s teams. B elieving that school sp irit constituted an im portant elem ent o f a sch olar’s car eer, ** Tom ’ ’ presented h im self on every athletic occasion and gave his vocal sup port to ithe team. ‘ ‘ Tom ’ ’ was a con stant solace to Father K ieh n e’s heart, for at every m eeting o f the Sodality, he could be found, piously engaged in pray er, and listen in g attentively to the M od erator. Thus it is that “ T om ” goes from our m idst loved and admired by all.

JOSEPH J. DUFFY “ Jo e” Sodality (4); Treasurer (3) ! I Come, how w ou ldst thou praise me. ’ ’ The w ell dressed youth who is survey in g the world from the back seat, with such kindly approval is none other than genial Joe him self. H is w ildest stabs at the L atin are accompanied by a clever actin g that has more than one§ put Joe a little further ahead than he ever hoped to arrive. For J o e ’s im personation o f an industrious, i f slig h tly rattled young man, is perfection in the Thespian art. U nconsciously teacher arid class are in fluenced by J o e ’s acting and we find our selves silen tly rooting for him to emerge with^ flying colors. And he does, aided by our benevolent professor and returns to his seat with an expression of angelic jo y that is soon succeeded by a very unangelie wink. W e hope th is young man w ill go on the stage for we are sure that it needs him.

FREDERICK W. ENGEL “ F red ” Sodality (2-3-4); Cephean (3-4) Library (3-4); Orchestra (1-2-3-4) “ 0 , lyre divine, w hat daring s p i r i t , W akes thee now. The happiness we righ tfu lly fee l at this the successful completion of our high school training, is not unmixed with a llo y ; for dear friends, we are parting w ith “ F r e d ” Engel. You do not know that sunny disposition, that golden sm ile, th at ennobling influence, for you have not spent w ith him the happy hours, too soon fled, which have been our portion. In the class room, in the library, on the Cephean staff— he has shown him self an enthusiastic and dependable worker. We part w ith him w ith the cherished hope that we w ill sometime fa ll under his kindly influence, and knowing fu ll well that th e mere recollection of him w ill brighten our w ays and strengthen our resolutions for better things.

FREDERICK C. ESSER “ H ic k ”

Dramatics (4); Sodality (3-4) Debating (4) “ I am bred arid born th ree hours tra ve l fro m th is place. ’ *■ Tour years ago there came to us from the progressive town o f C lifton a most demure gentlem an, one F. Charles Esser. A t first he was very meek and reticent. B ut as his H igh School years progressed and he donned the to g a o f manhood he ‘ ®stepped out ’ ’ w ith the b ig boys. H is risible out bursts ever break the silence of the class and that broad sm ile o f his is ever upon his face. E ager to enjoy him se lf and to amuse others he has won a place in our hearts. In his la st year Fred m ade his debut in the school p lay and as an entertainer at the banquet. J u d gin g by these he promises to make a name for his town upon the great w hite w ay, if our expectations are realized as we fe el Confident they w ill be. \y

JOHN GOGGIN FITZPATRICK

“Fitz” Sodality (2-3-4); Track (3-4) "“ W hy do st thou b en d th in e , eyes upon th e earth, A n d s ta r t so o fte n when thou s its t alone. ’ ’ A “ com edian” in the m idst o f a Greek class is as helpful to disperse gloom as the sun on a fo g g y day. Such is the nature o f “ F it z .” H e considers; Greek a hard subject but we consider him the consolation o f our sorrow, the dispersion o f our sadness, our- .light in darkness. The sm ile upon his face is a contagious one that often sends a plague o f laughter ujion his classm ates. W e sus pect that “ F it z ” claims some relation ship to “ A p o llo ,” the ancient god o f the sun, music and poetry. The violin is the sym bol of his happiness th at makes him sm ile in the stress o f difficulties. “ F it z ” intends to inarticulate at Fordham and we bid him God-speed.

“ F or a n igh t, I ’ll be a m a d -ca p .” Studies, music, a little track practice and high step p in g to boot, marks ‘ ‘ Wall y ’s ” four-year schedule. W hether ac tuated by love or fear, he studied hard and 'well. An uncommon boast it is to say th at F it z ’s French accent, acquired during Fr. M cD onald’s course is non pareil. In the orchestra o f which he was a most fa ith fu l member, he played sec ond fiddle to none. H e can recount with grey-haired reflection the days when Mr. Conroy w ielded a wicked baton o f train ing. H is resignation to this organiza tion comes as an oft-dreaded blow.

For every month o f his sojourn at the “ P rep .,” John has captured either a first or a second testim on ial and, conse quently, he is an authority on the class ics. W ith all these em belishm ents “ L it tle Corporal ’ ’ is extrem ely m odest and reticent. Y et, at tim es, his quietude breaks its bonds and “ T in y ” sets out upon a ram page. W hile in this condition he can generally be found boxing John Brown or some other mastadon. ‘ ‘ T in y ’s ’ ’ journalistic endowment was discovered in fourth year and his literary works lend a lo fty tone to the Cephean. John intends to m atriculate at Seton H all, which, in the near future, w ill share the glory th at John has bestowed St. P e te r ’s.

TIMOTHY E. MAHONEY “ T im ” Ring Com. (4); Class Pres. (4) “ A good man and tr u e .” From the very first tim e that “ T im ” entered the portals o f St. P e te r ’s his career as a loyal son has been one of ever increasing brilliancy. H e is a stu dent o f the very first rank and has led the w ay in the classics, in science and in mathematics. W e w ill be greatly as tonished i f w e do not note ‘ ‘ T im ’s ’ ’ lit erary productions among the six best sellers a few years from now, for all his facu lties point to the quill.

H is forte is “ E nglish C om position” which endow ment won him a position on the Petrean staff. Our blood tingled when we read the heetie account o f the Dickinson game, in our monthly paper, and we glow ed witll pride, for the pen of no other than “ J o h n n ie” had outlined the heroic struggle o f the Maroon team to conquer its persistent rival. On account o f his stature * ‘ Johnnie ’ ’ had to be con tent with a forward position on the m id get basketball team. A ll the essentials for success are his, a ’ >w that he w ill succeed in all hi kings.

“ D u k e” is a man who w ill be remem bered by every member o f the class of ’24, for “ the D u k e” is one whom it is im possible to forget. In fa ct i f “ the Duke ’ ’ is within a mile and a h a lf of the class room his remarks may be easily heard at the tea ch er’s desk. In the h is tory o f St. P e te r ’s there have been many deep voices but “ the D u k e” outranks them all. B ut the memory we w ill a l ways have of him w ill be that o f the slim youth who ca,ught without a m itt all through nine innings o f the cham pionship baseball game in Third year. True, he was bruised but he was on his fe et at the end. We sometimes think “ the D u k e’s ” splendid courage is the result o f the encouragement he receives from his own voice.

A lw ays on the alert to do a ' good turn, he has acquired the well merited esteem o f his classm ates. H is ever ready sm ile overcame all seem ingly im pregnable difficulties either in the classics or in worldly affairs. A s a mem ber o f the Sodality ‘ ‘ Mack ’ ’ was a con sisten t devotee, believin g it to be a grievious breach o f o n e ’s duty to m iss a sin gle m eeting. Such principle cannot help but overcome worldly barriers. K now ing this to be true, we have no fear o f the future success o f “ M ack .”

THOMAS J.

H e has d istin g uished him self as a student and the darkness o f ‘ ‘ Math ’ ’ lias been but a burst o f sunlight to him. In fa c t “ M ac” has shown such marked a b ility in Physics and Math that the p refect grew tired of w riting 100 on ‘ ‘ M ac’s ’ ’ report and went out and bought a rubber stamp for th at purpose. ‘ ‘ Mac ’ intends to study engineering at Stevens Tech. and we prophecy great success for him in his chosen p rofession , for ‘ ‘ Mac ’ * has prov en to us in his school life th at he is possessed o f all qualities that go to make an engineer— and we need not add a gen tleman.

JOHN A. McKEON “ Mac” Football (3-4) ‘ ‘ M irth , w ith thee I mean to live. ’ ’ Pour years ago “ M ac” came to St. P e te r ’s from th at far-off town o f H arri son. H e still lives there and to John there is no better place in the world. It w as one o f “ M a c’s ” daily exercises to defend that hamlet. B esides defending his native tow n o f Harrison, “ M ae” put on the togs in defense o f St. P e te r ’s and for two years shared the glory o f the team s victories and the shame o f her de fea ts. A s a student he was above the average and w ith a little more labor would have ranked among the highest. W hatever career he ch o o ses, we, his friends and associates, predict that it w ill be a successful one. /

ARTHUR J. McMAHON “ A rtie ” Cheer Leader (4); Sodality (3-4) Class Treasurer (3) ' 1A m erry youth and one to care un known. ’ ’ Newark is noted for Market street and Arthur MeMahon. T his is the consensus o f opinion o f those who know “ M ac” and who perhaps are not so knowing of whatever other products our sister city may boast. H e has been a student and officer and a cheer leader with equal suc cess and so far *i Mac ’ ’ has made a most attractive record while at the Prep. A l ways cheerful and ever w illing to laugh (even at H e lf ’s poorest), and optim istic even in physics, ‘ ‘ Mae ’ ’ has endeared him self to all and his hearty laugh has always brought us back to the land of the livin g when our thoughts were miles away ‘ ‘in the good old sum m ertim e.” I f ‘ ‘ Mac ’ ’ is as successful at his chosen profession of engineering as he has been at St. P e te r ’s, he w ill some day be one o f the greatest in the land.

H is intellect stood out ,in re bellion at the mode in which the rest of the class received know ledge,/ They took it in passively like a sponge which re ceives water but he received i t ,actively, m odeling and chiseling the thought he had received until it was his very own.

A ver itable modest violet, dark o f complexion with a solitary eye to truth and sincer ity. Though “ T o m ” is a shortstop o f nO mean powers, one had to li f t the mossy stone o f non-acquaintarice to peer into his character. I t was a Sam sonian task at tim es, but one with com pensat in g result. The exploit revealed a man o f studious attainm ents, deep sen sib ili ties and; silent demeanor. We are sure that i f his business adventure is marked by | the whole-hearted enthusiasm charac teristic of him, there w ill be no such pessim istic word as ‘ ‘ fail. ’ ’ Au Eevoir.

TIMOTHY J. MURPHY

“ Tim” Sodality (3-4) “ N ou rish in g a you th su b lim e.” This is the im pression which ‘ ‘ Timm ie ” made upon us the first day o f our acquaintance and he has been liv in g up to it ever since. Silent * ‘ Tim ’ ’ has faced the b itter storm o f knowledge and though in difficulty at tim es, he has finally conquered by dint o f diligen t ap plication. W hen his mask o f quietude is pierced, one discovers a sturdy charac ter which explains the reason for his popularity. W hen not engaged w ith his beloved m athem atics, ‘ ‘ Tim ’ ’ may be found perusing Shakespeare and Tenny son, which displays the commendable trend o f his mind. ‘ ‘ Tim ’ ’ has not de clared his intentions for the future, but i f he exercises th e same illustrious qual ities which he possessed while7 a student at St. P e te r ’s, all things edmiational and social w ill yield and bow /to his every command. \S

WILLIAM A.

A t one tim e we saw him take this remedy during a physics test and noiselessly float off to oblivion and fa iry land while we remained to wrestle with centimeters and grams. B ut let it not be thought that “ O b y” does not work. D uring January and June, he demon strates his appreciation o f the classics by memorizing line after line o f V irgil and Cicero. In his own words when gradua tion comes ‘ ‘ A rts ’ ’ loss w ill be business ’ “ g a in .”

JOHN J. O’DONNELL “ F a t” Basketball (4); Baseball (4) “ 0 w hat a beard thou h a s t.” To start the N ew Year off properly we began w ith the addition o f ‘ ‘ F a t ’s ’ ’ gen ial personality to our number. H e threads his w ay w ith intricate skill alike through the crowded basketball court and the mazes o f the Greek Grammar. They use a rubber stam p to affix “ F a t ’s ” cognomen to the all state se lections in basketball. This prominent resident o f Bayonne has endeared him se lf in these short six months to the hearts o f all o f us, as every corpulent person seem s to do. For it has ever been true at St. P e te r ’s as Shakespeare found it true in his day, “ Give me fa t men, and such as sleep o f nights. ’ ’ Thus follow in g S ig g in s and other w eighty idols o f. the school, w ill go our la test h e ro, “ F a t ” O ’Donnell.

And th is year there is no exception. ‘ ‘ R e d ’s ’ ’ career has been such that the longer we know him the greater respect we have for his varied powers. In fa c t ‘ ‘ Red ” is a treasure chest continually disclosing new wonders. The succeeding seasons o f sport have demonstrated th at although “ R e d ” is too ligh t for varsity team s yet interclass contests have found him at the front both as a football player and a star pitcher on the baseball nine. This ab ility to rise to an occasion is one o f the finest assets a man can have in the business world and one th at has a l w ays been characteristic o f a St. P e te r ’s Grad.

PATRICK W. ROHAN “ P a t” Ring Com. (4); Sodality (3-4) Class President (4) “ L ik e those th a t rule the la n d .” Our revered Alm a M ater can well be proud o f this affable,, studious and e f ficient youth. H e is a devotee, as it were, o f V irgil, Cicero and Homer and he ex ults in the art o f E nglish composition, producing essays and narratives that would compliment authors preeminent in the Golden A ge. A side from them, “ P a t ,” though alw ays our “ Delphian Oracle ’ ’ in m atters requiring counsel, w as especially so during our Senior Y ear, when, as class president, he shone forth as “ a leader o f m en .” Although fa te is soon to deprive us o f him, y et we know th at prosperity aw aits him beyond the threhold o f 1‘ A lm a Mater, ’ ’ Arid we can already discern this luminary tw ink lin g on the lo fty summits o f success*

CHARLES B. ROONEY “ B en ” Orchestra (2-3-4) Class Pres.

I ‘ B e n ’s ’ ’ am bition is to be a great m u sician and ju d gin g from what we have already heard, his success is only a ques tion o f time. A s a scholar he is o f the “ par excellence” variety. They say he reads V irgil for recreation. But, for all his accomplishments, we will remember him for his gentlem anly qualities, which won the esteem of all who know him. It is with deep regret that we leave ‘ ‘ Ben ’ ’ to continue his pursuit of P aul W hite m a n ’s fam e. We m ight add that he has already advanced well along that path with his fam ous ‘ 1Ragador Ramblers ’ ’ orchestra.

AMBROSE A. RYAN “Am” Captain Basketball (4) Basketball (2-3-4) Class President (1-2) “ S ta n d by, m y m asters, brin g him near th e K in g .” ‘ ‘ A m ’s ’ ’ fam e is not confined to his pulchritude alone. R ealizing that beauty is only skin deep “ A m ” set out and made an enviable record in basketball. H e piloted the court quintet during the last season as captain and played a ster lin g game throughout the season as guard. A lthough he intends to continue his studies at a higher in stitu tion of learning nevertheless it w ill be no sur prise to us to see ‘ ‘ A m ’s ’ ’ heroic form upon the silver screen ; and indeed it w ill make little difference to a man of “ A m ’s ” ab ility to which profession he leans, fo r 1he is able to achieve in any, the success we so earnestly wish him.

V EDWARD F. SALMON “ E d d ie” Sodality (1-2-3-4) Class Football (2-3) Dramatics (2); Track (3) “ A n d here I sta n d ; ju d g e, m y m a ste rs.” When you combine the qualities o f a student w ith those o f an athlete, then indeed, you have the ideal o f the ‘ ‘ genus homo. ” “ E ddie ’ ’ earned for him self a place in the sun alongside our other im mortals by his efforts on the cinder path. In the Thespian art, also, he conquered. V ersatility w as but another name for our *‘ Eddie. ’ ’ However, we detected one weakness and that, a marked propensity for dissolving the tar highw ays by his burning speed, p refer ably in a Stutz. ‘ ‘ Ed ’ ’ righ tly contends that success can be attained by diligence and perseverance. W ith this contention he sets out along the broad highw ay o f life and we know that his noble convic tion shall be realized.

“ Steve” Manager of Football (4) Ring Com. (4); Sodality (2-3-4) Seargeant-at Arms (4) “ B y the w h ite hand o f m y lady, h e ’s a galla n t 'prince.” K aging winds and turbulent seas would leave ‘ SStevie ’ ’ unruffled for he has wandered through the intricacies of M ath, and the vagaries o f V irgil, serene and satisfied. In French class he never perm its a dull moment to pass and frequently converses in that language w ith the learned professor while the class holds its breath in admiration. As footb all manager ' ‘ Steve ’ ’ worked long and well, often tearing h im self from class for whole periods to represent his A lm a M ater. H e has ever strived to lessen pain, so it is only natural th a t.h e should enter the profession of den and achieve that success which we diet for him.

JOHN J. SCANLON |“ Jack” “ O r le t m y lam p a t m idn igh t hour B e seen in som e high lonely to w e r.” “ J a c k ’s ” determined jaw , his b eet lin g brow and the far-aw ay yet intense look in his eyes make it evident that in whatever career he w ill embark upon, success w ill crown his efforts. Besides the burden imposed by the studies of F ourth Year, he was selected as the B eadle and the Secretary o f the Class. H e accomplished these tasks with the same unyielding vigor and the same un sw erving devotion that he bestowed on his studies. J a c k ’s plans for the future have not yet been disclosed but we feel sure that in whatever line o f work he adopts that same serious brow w ill be found and the reward too w ill be found there, the reward of every man that struggles onward to the banner of suc cess.

CHARLES F. SCHMIDT | “ Charlie”

Sodality (4); Library (4) “ Y e t born to sm ile se re n e ly .” Charlie is a young man whose pains tak in g efforts it is a pleasure to watch. For it is evident that C harlie’s successes are the result o f p atien t to il and have in them little p f the “ lu c k ” that attends the ventures of— say Tarrant for in stance. C harlie’s thoroughness procured for him the position o f quarterback on the class team an d his direction o f the play was so thorough that the team was not even scored on. H e is also a filing genius and is able to enter our crowded library and extract therefrom any book th at m ay be demanded, while his skill in finding out delinquents who owe library fines is uncanny. W e fe e l sure that Charlie w ill make as complete a success o f his life as he has o f his H igh School course.

JOHN J. SHANNON

“ Jack” Second Team Basketball (3) Football (3-4); Sodality (3-4) “ W here secrecy rem ains iii b'iiss and w isdom hides her s k ill.” Seldom in the past four years have we heard from ‘ ( J le k , ’ ’ unless it was a recitation o f some kind. J o llie s inno cent appearance and quiet disposition have covered a m ultitude o f m ischievious deeds. H e was well known to all the football fans for his courageous work on the gridiron, and for his u n failin g attendance at practice. This is typical o f John *s faith fu ln ess, a quality which he has ever displayed, and which is cer tain to make his friends admire him as we have ever done. H is intentions for the future are unknown to us, but we can safely predict success for him in whatever career future years w ill find him.

THOMAS H. SIGLER “ Tom ” Petrean (4); Sodality (3-4) “ Shall go fo r th and conquer a cro w n .’ ’ The efficient Tom, besides holding laurels as a baseball catcher also leads the w ay as a man o f letters. H is liter ary qualifications led to his appointm ent on the Prep monthly and his works are devoured on the first o f every month by at least five hundred students. H is spec ia lty is debating and he gets most o f his experience b y rneans o f long arguments w ith the speed ‘ ‘ Cops ’ * o f the state who are very annoying to Tom by in sistin g that- he keep his “ R olls-B oyce” out of the cornfields o f the E agle Rock section. For this seems to be the main haunt of the big auto that never looks complete w ithout Tom at the wheel and a blue coat with brass buttons executing “ uni form ly accellerated m otion ” in the rear. I f Tom ever takes up the racing game B arney Oldfield should look to his laurels.

JOHN F. SPRANZ “ Ja ck” Midget Basketball (4) Petrean (4); Sodality (3-4) “ A n d he was wondrous w ise .’ ’ John is one o f the proudest boasts of .St. Peter 'S. A brillian+ student, he is easily one Of the highest in scholarly en deavors, and withal, finds tim e to lend his earnest support to school activities. The P etrean staff has been m aterially aided by the addition o f J a c k ’s able e f forts, while his work at guard greatly strengthened the M idget basketball team. John is accepted as an authority on the classics, and his work in Greek and L atin has been the wonder o f his classm ates. “ J a c k ” intends to enter the fields o f medicine with H oly Cross as his next Alma Mater, and our only word is that H oly Cross shall gain a scholar and a gentleman in our true classmate, John Spranz.

Tighe was the fu ll nominal strength o f our colossus but all efforts on his part to have the “ A u stin ” recognized as such, have so fa r been unavailing. ‘ ‘ T ige ’ ’ has been noted during his four years for an orig inal w ay o f doing things which displayed its e lf in the class and on the athletic field but perhaps more prominently in a recent football game when “ T ig e ” stopped the opposing “ b a ck ” by maul in g him down by the ears.

HENRY P. TOPOLEWSKI

“ Toppie” Sodality (2-3-4) “ N o r silen t was, y e t silen t seem ed to b e .” “ T op p ie” is one o f those rare charac ters who, like Cicero, produces nothing unless perfect. For that reason he is not as loquatious as some o f the “ babbling brooks” that grace our halls. B ut when “ T op p ie” speaks whether it is a joke or a translation— it is good. He does not come direct from Spain or the A r gentine despite the fluency o f his Span ish or his “ Rudolph V alen tin o” physique, for nobody has ever y et seen ‘ ‘ Toppie * ’ with his hair or tie disturbed. The treasurer’s report shows “ T op p ie” as one of the few members who are reg ular in payin g class dues and this atten tion to his responsibilities should gain for him that after success we all wish him. //

JOSEPH B. TRZECIAKIEWICZ “ Jo e” Sodality (3-4) Midget Basketball (4) “ D eep clam, when gales are b ra w lin g .” “ J o e ” is a man o f few words, but of deep and serious contem plation. Seldom does this reticent, youth enuntiate his opinion, but, when he does, there is an infathom able depth o f logic, and reason in g contained therein. Secondary to the classics, basketball claim s the a t tention o f our silen t - classm ate. There, the dormant physique o f “ Socrates ’ ’ is dashing, prancing, darting 'about the court. “ J o e ” has earned the p raiS e\of his spectators and accumulated fam e and victory for the ‘ ‘ M idget Fives ’ ’ True to his nature he has not announced his intentions for the future but we can pre dict nothing but glory and “ J o e ” in whatever path of choose to tread.

A sid e from these talents, Tom also possesses a p leasing personality and his popularity is equally great among both sexes. Tom intends to continue his studies at Fordham and we fu lly expect that he w ill be as brilliant and/Success fu l in the Bronx, as lie wtys at St. P e te r ’s.

STANLEY J. ZEMETRA “ Zemmie” Sodality (3-4) “ N o t y e t old enough fo r man, nor young enough fo r boy. ’ ’ Here among other promising gradu ates, we have the future Tex Rickard.

This emperor of the squared circle, among the other accomplishments enjoys the distinction o f being one o f the best Latin scholars in the class but mingles with his fam iliarity with the Latin tongue is a great deal o f contempt, and his sarcastic remarks on the value of the literary productions o f the Romans, have caused us infinite merriment.

Ifa b ru a ry

A lthough our career at St. P e te r ’s is over we have none but pleasant remem brances to carry out w ith us into what ever courses o f life we pursue. Four years have passed since the mid-year class o f ’24 first met. I t seem s only yesterday. B ear w ith me, kind reader, while I briefly go through the main events o f our four years o f H igh School. I t was in February o f 1920 when the students o f St. P e te r ’s saw a sm all group o f newcomers in their midst. The Prep never had a mid-year class before, for we were the first to have th at honor and privilege. We started our career by attending H oly Mass. Mr. Conroy, S. J., .was assigned to steer us through our Freshman Year. I t was under his patient and w atchful guidance that we built the foundation for L atin and A lgebra. W ith Mr. Bichorn, S. J ., we learned all about the rivers and m ountains, the sky and planets. W e were hardly settled for our first term when announcement for exam inations was made. And, so, a fter a few short months our first term at St. P e te r ’s w as over. W hen the Classes were resumed in Septem ber we were pleased to learn th at we had all successfully passed the exam inations, and more delighted when we learned that Mr. Conroy, S. J ., would again lead us in our second term. We began this term by strengthening our old bonds o f friendship among ourselves and our teachers, and also by m aking new acquaintances. W e raked over the cold ashes o f the L atin foundations to prepare for the m ighty Caesar of whom we had learned so much. February brought with it not only cold winds and snow storms but also our promotion into second year. Mr. Conroy was again to be our teacher. W ith him we were to begin Greek, although an alpha m eant no more to us than an omega for it w as all Greek to us. As the term slipped by Caesar was no longer a stranger to us, for with him we fou gh t the Gallic W ars. The first term of second year came to a close w ith a banquet held in the music room o f St. T heresa’s H all. I t was proclaimed a great success and a pleasant evening was held by all those who were present. A fter our summer vacation we once more put on our think in g caps to get a better foundation in Greek and to become more acquainted with Caesar. Mr. Orthen w as assigned as our teacher.. He was a new member o f the facu lty, but it did not take us long to get acquainted. In the b iology class Doctor W alsh essayed to teach us the structure o f the amphibia, the earthworm and other anim als, and we can say w ith certainty that he succeeded. The last few months o f the year passed quickly. A s a leader of our Junior year we had Mr. Othen for the first term and Mr. O ’Hare, S. J., for the second term. Mr. O ’Hare was a new comer at St. P e te r ’s but before a month had elapsed, we fe lt as i f we had known him all our lives. I f any o f us d id n ’t know who Cicero was after our third year we never w ill know. We follow ed Xonephon during his wanderings over A sia, and were present at the Court o f D ido when Aneas told the story of the fa ll of Troy. We started a new branch o f studies this year, chemistry, with Mr. K in g as the teacher. In this class we learned by personal experiment the difference between H2o and H 2 S 0 4 , although it cost us a burn or two. For French teachers we could have

no better than Fr. M cDonald during the first term and Mr. Mulcahy, 8. J ., for the second term . Our class, though one o f the sm allest in the school, was not selfish in g ivin g m aterial for athletics. E very one w ill say th at Third M id-Year contributed its share. W e could not have a class team o f our own very well because most of the fellow s were on the Prep squad. Our third year came to a close in February. Just one more year; M ost o f us dreaded the thought o f leavin g the Prep. St. P e te r ’s had become our second home. From the beginning o f our last year we tried hard to fill the place o f the ‘ ‘ Seniors ’ ’ le ft by the class o f ’23 and we leave the decision to our comrades o f the school whether or not we have succeeded. Under the leadership o f Mr. O ’Hare and Mr. K eeg a n we set out- w ith every ffort to achieve the final honors o f the Fourth Y ear. B y a new rule Greek and Science were optional. The. class unanim ously de cided to take Science under Fr. Collins, S. J ., and so we narrowly escaped Homer, and le ft Agam em non and A chilles to fight their own battles. The Senior Prep banquet w as held at the end o f January in the School Auditorium and that night above all nights w ill rem ain-in our minds, for it marked the last n igh t at St. P eter ’s. Our four years are over. W e close the doors o f St. P e te r ’s to go into the world to seek our future. May we always keep in mind what we were taught in those learned w alls, and keep before us the honor of St. P e te r ’s. The members o f Fourth Year B take this opportunity to thank the prefects and all the members o f the fa cu lty who in any way helped during our course by their patien t and w atch fu l teaching.

In mid-Septem ber o f the year 1920 two hundred young boys gathered in the yard to commence their H igh Sehool career. In the w aning months o f the Calendar year we began the spring tim e o f the long year o f knowledge. A s one gazes around, in vain are the trees still green. The sun does not deceive, nor the widespread opulence o f the country. The sky above does 'no.t radiate the same lig h t over the city as yestermorn. One view s the last fru its o f the condemned season. True, the im patient hands o f winter do not y et strip the earth barbarously, no winds tear at h e r ; no frost sp lin te r s; no waters drown h e r ; the sky still sm iles at the earth with ineffable love; y et one is not deluded. B u t this was the spring tim e o f our career. To us all these sign s are enveloped by the signs o f spring. The buds unwaken and spread out hindered by no winter storm s; the so ft hands o f summer tenderly caress the flowers o f the brave plants stru gglin g again st the now m ild frost bites. The sun dances in an ecstacy o f joy. I t is his season, the spring tim e o f the year. W ith the form er fa c t seem ing to conflict'w ith the latter thought, we began the marathon o f knowledge. A s instructors in this test o f endurance were appointed Mr. H ayden and Mr. Gannon. W ith alm ost paternal in stin ct they lig h tly checked the boyish spirits o f some but they in stilled into all an ardent desire to persevere together with a love for St. P e te r ’s. The task was a difficult one lay in g the foundation for a lon g struggle. They worked unceasingly lest those too vivacious, weary them selves in fu tile sprints or lest those inclined to be laggards find them selves hopelessly enveloped in their own lethargy. A few became discouraged at their failure to quickly grasp the matter assigned but the great m ajority continued in the wake o f the standard set by those preceding us. The first lap o f the long race proved the old adage, ‘ 1Tempus F u g it. ’ ’ Those happy days o f our Freshman year soon came to a close. An outing was held to commemorate the friendships made and the struggles side by side with elem entary L atin and M athem atics. A s the ‘ ‘ Seniors ’ ’ o f the year bade each other a fond fa re well we rejoiced in the short respite from study. In our second year we were introduced to Greek successfully or otherwise through the medium of Mr. Conroy, S. J . The difficulties o f C aesar’s campaign were explained to us by Mr. Henry V . O ’N eil, S. J ., until the Invincible Sollieitor o f all saw fit to remove him from the world. However, his affable manner engendered in our hearts an undying love for him. The members of his class were combined with our own to serve as an everlasting monument to his memory. Mr. Hayden was again w ith us in Math, while Mr. 0 ’Brien instructed us in Modern H istory and Civics. Mr. K in g explained the intricate points o f Biology. The class outing closed the year. In the third year the elass was given the choice o f the Romance Languages, French or Spanish. The m ajority chose the tongue of the matadors in preference to the smooth running ‘ 1L anguage o f Love. ’ ’ The teachers of third year were Mr.

Gilleran, S. J ., Mr. McCarl, S. J ., and Mr. M ulcahy, S. J ., presiding over the three sections and their associates were Rev. P . M. Collins, S. J ., as dean o f the Chemistry D epartm ent, Mr. Garner, S. J ., professor o f Spanish, and Mr. H ew itt, S. J ., tutor o f French. Mr. J . B. Collins guided the classes through H igher A lgebra and Geometry. This year w as perhaps the most in terestin g one o f our course. I t marked our introduction to “ Chem ” under the able tu telage of Fr. Collins. H is interesting lectures and his clever experim ents held the class spellbound and his ready wit lightened the dull moments. Our fo o tb a ll team ended a successful season by forcin g Fourth Year to re linquish its suprem acy in the “ Sport o f B ra w n .” Crushing d efeats were adm inis tered to opponents in six interclass games. The basketball team , though not as successful, upheld our honor in various tussels on the court. To term inate the suc cessfu l season the class held its first annual banquet in the College Auditorium. The bubble o f school sp irit burst and in its effervescence enveloped everyone present. A s we returned to fourth year, each one was imbued with a certain inexplicable determ ination to succeed. The sigh t of the coveted diploma offered an added in centive to persevere in the struggle; A t this stage Greek, the nightm are of the students w as made elective by the facu lty. This caused a rearrangement of all the classes. Some o f eaeli class were banded together to form the sections selecting Greek or Science. Mr. Garner w as appointed comm ander-in-chief o f the Science brigade together w ith Mr. Gilleran as Professor o f French and E nglish, Rev. Fr. Collins and Rev. Fr. K iehne as A ssociate P rofessor o f P hysics and Mr. Crowley as P rofessor o f M athem atics. Mr. Garner, our revered teacher, essayed to handle the current edition o f the Cephean in addition to his other duties. The success o f the book is due in a large measure to his u ntiring efforts along this line. A s a memory o f graduation, and of our assum ing the toga o f seniorship the class chose from various sam ples a ring befitting th e occasion. The Senior Prep banquet was held on January 31 and was deemed a success from all standpoints. It marked the passing from our m idst of the first mid-term class o f St. P e te r ’s. W ith the cheers and good w ishes o f their fellow students and the advise of the speakers ringing in their ears, they put their best foot forward to the struggle of life. Ere the curtain drops on another chapter o f the existence o f our Alm a Mater let us attem pt to show our appreciation for the zealous work o f all those who have been connected w ith our course. Though spoken gratitude is indeed a meager reward for such great labor, it m ay serve to m anifest our sincerest thanks for the noble standards set before us by the Jesu it teaching system. Toast to the Future: We have climbed to the highest point of the mountain of success to drink a toast to a future day,— a day follow ing this very n ig h t; to the highest point with this cup that w e lift to the very lips o f Aurora. Far below us the clamorous eagle seeks to rise. B ut let the sun r is e ! that we may see ere we go the ligh t shadow of our suspended bodies pointed beneath us on the sand of this basin circled by the seven colored rainbow. Come! the day of our precedence is no more. Perhaps the reign may be in better hands than ours. Our tim e has come.

Time is about to close its prodigious portals on our H igh School career. Our quest has been consummated and soon we w ill embark upon the tum ultous sea of life to contend w ith the white capped billow s and silvering troughs o f bigotry, m aterial ism and im m orality. B ut before settin g sail, le t us reflect w ith all jo y and pleasure upon the fond moments th at have been ours w hile protected in this tranquil and trustworthy haven o f knowledge. On Septem ber 8, 1920, there assembled a band o f rosey cheeked and knickered neophytes, tim id and skeptical as to what the fa tes m ight proffer to them. B ut the forebodings o f thirty-five were im m ediately dispersed when they were commended to the parental and kind care o f Mr. A. E. Puller, S. J ., and Mr. W illiam J . W alsh who essayed to guide the class o f F irst Year C through the labyrinth o f fundam ental classics and science. In a b rief tim e we had become imbued with the ancestral spirit o f St. P e te r ’s and that generous and zealous morale which has characterized our every activity thus far, took root. We not only gained preeminence in the classics but likewise emblazoned our names on the annals o f St. P e te r ’s as a class pregnant with love and reverence for we acquired a conspicuous niche in every sehool activ ity being reckoned among the bright lig h ts o f the A th letic D rive and having representation 011 both the varsity footb all and baseball teams. B ut ere we had become accustomed to the pace the evening of our fresh man year drew nigh and we closed our books determ ined th at we had made a suc cessful, however brief, siege again st the seem ingly im pregnable w alls o f knowledge and th at we had proven true and loyal Peterites. When all nature was m agnificent in its blaring Autumnal colors we again opened our dust covered books and w ith all the pomp befitting to Second Year men we began again our assault again st knowledge. The fa tes decreed in our favor by bestow ing upon us Mr. J. Conroy, S. J ., as our commander and adviser. He it was, who strove energetically to inflame us with a spirit for a subject about wliicli we had fear, abhorrence and prejudice, namely, the far-fam ed study o f classical Greek. W hether or not Mr: Conroy, S. J ., succeeded in his endeavor, is a mater o f personal debate. Here it was that we were form ally introduced to Caesar and even in this era o f peace and tranquility our blood runs cold when we recall the myriad slaughters which that harsh general exacted from the dolorous Gauls. In form ing Second Year C two keen philosophers from F irst Year A entered our m idst, lending new life and succor to our sw iftly exhausting ranks. W ith them as the setters o f the pace we lavished classical fam e and honor upon ourselves. Our banquet at the close o f this year was a brilliant success and an appropriate reward for our earnest, constant and assiduous application to our studies. F in ally the day dawned when we were to assume the honored toga o f Juniors. Once again the fa tes were extravagant and generous with their g ifts. Mr. Mulcahy, S. J., a stranger to St. P e te r ’s, took the reins o f pedagogy into his hands and led us through a glorious year o f L atin, Greek and English. We were a docile and benign audience to Cicero while he eulogized him self in an egotistic tenor and we condoled

the sufferings o f sad Aeneas. W e stumbled, tripped and oftentim es fe ll as we trailed Cyrus in his peram bulations throughout A sia. In E nglish we discovered to our utter am azem ent th at there is a “ m id d le” as w ell as an active and passive im agination. N o t pregnant w ith Grecian love, we turned our minds towards a more humane study and in consequence we sounded the depths o f Spanish under the tu telage o f Mr. F . Garner, S. J . The staunch w alls o f St. P e te r ’s still remain in stact but nevertheless we per form ed m any in tricate chem ical experim ents under the most acute and diligen t su pervision o f Father Collins. In Geometry Mr. Jam es Collins led us across the “ Pons A senorum ” and capably proved to us th at a ‘ ‘ straigh t lin e is the shortest path betw een two points. ’ ’ B ut many o f us y et, seem to doubt the in teg rity o f the la st statem ent and that doubt has often been personified by our actions. W ith success gained in the classics we devoted our attention to less prominent m atters. . A goodly number o f us answered the clarion call o f footb all and w e were represented on the B ostra by orators in com m ensuration with Choate and W ebster. Several o f our versatile members succumbed to the beauties o f the drama and en acted heavy roles in the school play. I t w as in our Junior year that our journalistic endowment blossomed forth into bloom. Our class paper, the ‘ 1Oracle, ’ ’ was a work o f genuine and pure literature. W hen June once again peeped over the horizon we discarded our well-thumbed books and departed from our A lm a M ater for a well earned respite. B efore leaving however, w e tended to the graduating class an united banquet which was not only a tim e o f merriment and good cheer but also a noble appreciation for our graduates. This year we returned but to experience the harsh rule o f fate. Greek had be come optional and a great number o f our extrem ely patriotic members deserted us for P hysics. B u t the conspicuous gaps in our ranks were readily refilled by new comers, new, in the sense th at they had m igrated from another section which had been dismembered. Thus refreshed, under the command o f our reverend teacher, Mr. Mulcaliy, a man for whom we w ill always m aintain the highest esteem, we set out on our la st march again st knowledge. W e read L atin by the volume and capably emu lated th at system in Greek. In Trigonom etry we proved to Father K iehne that we possessed m athem atical p ossibilities. W e gladdened the heart o f Mr. Garner by our Spanish accomplishments. A thletics, D ram atics and D ebating exacted adherents from our number and their triumphs are emblazoned on the annals o f our Alma Mater. We were prominent factors in the united senior banquet and to our ingenuity may be ascribed the idea o f our senior frolic. Long w ill be remembered those two occasions. Now, as we stand upon the threshold o f life, we gaze out along its exterminate vista with confidence and fidelity. W ith confidence, because we know that the seeds o f both the spiritual and the m aterial education, which the self-sacrificing Jesuits have im planted in our hearts and souls, shall bloom forth in all their beauty and exuberance. W ith fidelity, because nothing but success can await the graduate of St. P e te r ’s for whom we will always cherish a zealous love, piety and reverence. As a well equipped army departs against the enemy, so St. P e te r ’s sends forth her graduates o f 1924, armed with her stead fast principles, to conquer the barriers of the world, the flesh and the devil.

H E N school reopened in September, some fo rty o f us proceeded into the Senior building, to take up our studies for the new term , as Junior Class 3-A, under the tu tela g e of Mr. McCarl, S. J . On the second day o f class a m eetin g was called and the fo llo w 足 in g officers were elected: Charles B. Murphy, P resi足 dent; Prank F lynn, V ice-P resid en t; Gerard M anning, S ecretary; Edward H ackett, Treasurer. The follow in g week real work was begun. Under the careful direction o f Mr. McCarl, each student delved into the treasures, hidden beneath the covers o f Cicero and Xenephon. D uring th e course of the first term, many in terest足 in g topics were discussed in the form s of debates and several talks given by members o f the Class. B ut not stopping at this, it was decided to establish a class paper, the T at, in which m any excellent w ritings were put forth. A t the b egin n in g o f the second term, our class spirit again showed itse lf and prompted us to hold a banquet. A fter untiring sp irit on the part of the class the banquet, was brought to a successful climax. Then came the final exams and the most w e can do is to express the hope th at each one was successful. B ut, overhanging our happy year, in the shadow of sadness, the recollection o f B ill Murphy, whom God has seen fit to call unto H im self. H e was a model boy, a 'student, a scholar, and above all a Catholic gentlem an and one we loved and deeply cherished. B ut such is the fa te o f tim e and we cannot stop with yesterday or today but must pass on until the day on which we shall also be called to our true home, and let us during the com ing season frequently pray for him and pray also that ,we may all be preserved, so on the opening day in the com ing September we may gather in the Prep yard only this tim e to begin our Senior Year.

IE are near the ena ox our third year in St. P e te r ’s. Mr. Gilleran, S. J., has led us trium phantly through the C atilinian sp eech es; F r. Kiehne, S. J ., has successfully demonstrated to us the fundam ental laws o f . P hysics, and in conjunction with Mr. F lannagan, S. J ., has im plant ed in our minds the principal theorems o f Geometry. Under the guidance o f Mr. K eegan, S. J ., and Mr. Tarrant we have traveled through the romantic hills o f Spain, w ith its haciendas, th e Spain o f Don Quixote de la Mancha. Others, o f our classm ates were innoculated by Father Schm itt, S. J ., with the esprit of French. We are now preparing for our fourth year. The officers for the year w ere: President, Jam es B o n n e ll; Vice-President, Joseph L ynch; Secretary, Reynold B ossid y; Secretary o f the Treasury, Thomas Fitzm auriee.

The year was a successful one. Our class was well represented in all branches o f athletics, by “ J o h n n y ” Evers, th e great triple threat star of the season. On the stage Jam es Bonnell, John O ’Mara, B ertrand. Meehan, and John Bowen, were our exponents o f the Thespian art. John Folks, Thomas Fitzsim m ons, and Jam es Greeves were our contributors to the orches tra. And the la st but most inspiring detail, was that the m ajority o f our class was received into the Senior Sodality o f the B lessed V irgin Mary.

The roll was called and some o f our classm ates were m issin g; some had gone to earn their daily bread, some had gone to other schools, while others were dropped to lower classes.

OT as an idle boast, but w ith a sense o f self-ju stification we can truly say w e have accomplished much in the past year. A t our very introduction to sec ond year we were taxed w ith a ser ious im pedim ent to progress. Our class was a dissected group, whose membership was drawn from three different classes. To mould these units into one compact body w as our in itia l ta s k ; and in a month, we claim ed success. N ow as one, united in purpose and friendship we attacked our Sophomore year in earnest. In the m at ter o f leaders to guide and encourage us we were es pecially blessed. Our class facu lty was composed of Mr. Tumulty, our head teacher and P rofessor o f L atin, M athem atics and E n g lish ; Mr. K eegan, S. J., whose task it was to make clear the intricacies o f Greek; Mr. Wm. A. O ’Brien, P rofessor o f H istory and Civics. K now ing that we had been well fitted, we met the m id-year exam inations w ithout trepidation and when the smoke cleared away, we had suffered but one casualty. For the second term Mr. M ulcahy, S. J ., was in troduced as professor o f E nglish. Encouraged by our success in first term, we entered upon the second sem ester w ith renewed vigor; and for us the gods held n oth in g but success. The com pletion o f our second term is sw iftly being accomplished. A little retrospection at th is tim e is not amiss. We have spent a happy year. Our class activities have dispelled all shadows o f monotony, so likely to creep in. Above all we consider our scholas tic standard to be o f the highest degree, inferior to none. The realization o f our purpose, however, we a ttrib ute to the earnest efforts o f our professors and to their interest in us. To them we tender our sincere thanks and fe e lin g o f appreciation. In concluding our humble notes, we, the class o f 2 -B -l express sin cere hopes for the glorious success o f the graduating class of nineteen tw enty four.

N oth in g could sur pass the esteem in which he was held by us. N ever theless despite the interm ingling jo y and sorrow the year has been a pleasant one. School sp irit has been a prevalent factor, as is evinced by our support o f the school activities. A ny move- for the betterm ent of the school, received our u n failin g support. The footb all season brought many recruits to the fron t but o f all o f them two gained places on the squad. They were Jim Dunne, our treasurer, and Tom Connelly, another member o f the community. Dunne also gained a position on the basketball squad while Connelly sported the silks o f the school on the cinder path. M eanwhile we have not been idle in our class circle, and our footb all eleven which is our ju st boast, passed through an unusually successful season having disposed o f all opponents by com fortable scores. I t is here that we pause to thank Mr. Starkey, our Coach, for the many sacrifices he made to put forth a team w orthy o f the class. We w ish to sincerely thank our teachers for their untiring labors for our interests and assure them that it w ill always be remembered and appreciated. In concluding we wish to congratulate the class of 1924 on their excellent record and to wish them the success for which they have unceasingly worked.

A lgebra, our recently acquired acquaint ance, was resumed under a wider, scope, and Mr. M cNam ee proved to us that the intricacies of the subject could be easily understood. Moreover under th e guidance o f P rof. O ’Brien, we conned the twicetold tales o f H istory. N evertheless our activities were not confined to the intellectual sphere.

Our zest for ;conquest has also ex tended to the realm o f M usic, and our oratorical a b ility is cultured in the debating Society, for in these spheres o f scholastic activities our class is not delinquent. W ith the advent o f a new year our emblems have been changed and w e are now. progressing under the in sign ia 2-B-3. W ith th is alteration Mr. M cNamee passed from our m idst and his hitherto responsibili ties have been assumed by Mr. Grant.

fe a u b m n Itehatuuj The noble traditions o f the Beaudevin D eb atin g S ociety and its continual ac tiv ity , so ju stly fam ous in the past, suffered in no w ay this year, under their devoted and untirin g M oderator, Mr. Stephen A. M ulcahy, S. J . This year found the So ciety laboring in heretofore unknown fields and thus adding new lustre to St. P e te r ’s nam e in the field o f forensic art. To say th at on all occasions our young orators brought unstinted praise to them selves and to their school would be w asting words. B ut nothing great is accom plished w ithout work. So it was w ith our Society. The fa ll and w inter months were months o f hard routine and u ntiring preparation, which blossom ed into fr u it in la te January. Tuesday, January the tw enty-ninth, th e day o f our first public appearance, found Messrs. D eLong, Thomas W ard, John W ilson and John Doherty lecturing on “ The Catholic School and Its W ork” before a large audience in St. C ecilia’s H all, K earney, N ew Jersey. Mr. D eL ong in an introductory talk summed up the trend o f the tim es and the need o f a Catholic Education to successfully eombat the fallacies so ram pant in these days. The other speakers gave a clear, eloquent exposition o f the work being done in our Catholic Schools, in preparing their students to m eet these difficulties. The question was treated under the threefold aspect o f physical, intellectual and moral education. Our n ext public undertaking and this even more pretentious than the other, is a series o f lectures which is to be given before the N ation al Council o f Catholic Women o f St. P a tr ic k ’s Parish, Jersey City. On Thursday evening, A pril the third, Mr. John D oherty g a v e a learned exposition o f the “ V alue o f a Catholic Sehool T ra in in g .” The follow in g Thursday, the tenth, Mr. Thomas Ward gave the pros and cons o f the Bonus Question while on M ay 1st Mr. John D eLong spoke on the “ L ay A p o sto la te,” a question so closely allied to the interests o f the N . C. C. W. A ll speakers were most favorably received and glow ing congratulations follow ed their efforts. So successful, in fa ct, was Mr. W ard ’s discussion o f the Bonus Q uestion th a t the L a d ie s’ A uxiliary o f th e Am erican L egion have asked him to repeat his lecture before their organization. Mr, Ward, accordingly, w ill soon appear before th at organization. In a few days, W ednesday, A pril the 30th, the Beaudevin w ill m eet in Interscholastice debate, the youthful orators o f St. P a tr ic k ’s H igh School, Elizabethport, N ew Jersey. The subject to be discussed is: “ Resolved: That France was justified in her occupation o f the R uhr.” The Beaudevin w ill support the affirmative side o f the question, Messrs. D oherty and L angan representing our sehool. Our best wishes go w ith our debating team and we sincerely trust that they w ill return victorious. P lans were also under w ay for a debate in some city beyond the M etropolitan dis trict but our ardent hopes were shattered, with the result that this year our efforts w ill be restricted to our own state. The subject o f the Prize Debate, which w ill take place about the middle of May, w ill be announced later. The question w ill be a local one, thereby stirring con siderable interest. This year, contrary to custom, the debate w ill be given before the whole H igh School. Thus we see that another page o f the debating activity has been w ritten in the annals o f St. P e te r ’s, and this one— no less glorious than those o f former years. Officers o f the Beaudevin D ebating S o ciety :— President, John Doherty. V ice-President, John DeLong. Secretary, M artin Langan. A cting-Secretary, Vincent Hull. Treasurer, Bartholomew Clements.

Ululrg Hebattng ^oriftg The M ulry D eb atin g Society, hitherto known as the Junior D eb atin g S ociety, has ju st com pleted one o f the most successful years o f its existence. Mr. R. P . F la n agan, S. J ., was appointed moderator, and on the first F rid ay in October sounded the call th at brought more than forty en th u siastic students to th e Mulry D ebating H all, youth fu l Ciceros anxious to number them selves in an activity th at has ever been the boast o f St. P e te r ’s. A t the first regular m eetin g o f the society th e follow in g officers were chosen to guide the destinies o f our organization throughout the first term : President, John M orris; V ice-P resident, Dennis M cF eely; Secretary, Francis D oyle; Treasurer, D es mond M urray; F irst Censor, Howard Alberque, and Second Censor, M artin Brady. Much in terest w as taken in the various activities o f our society during the first term. M any current topics o f live interest were thrashed out in th e M ulry D ebating H all and w ith such lucid argum entation and convincing delivery that St. P eter ’s bids fair to retain her reputation o f producing eloquent speakers and debaters. A m ong the subjects for debate may be found such up-to-the-m inute questions a s: the super ior m erits o f th e Parochial or Public School, the V a lid ity o f the Prohibition A m end ment, th e U . S. entry into the W orld Court, the acceptance o f th e Bok Peace P lan, the Bonus B ill, and m any others. The second term o f our society began during the second week o f January and at this m eeting th e officers for the rem aining term w ere elected. W ith the exception o f the vice-president the officers remained the, same. Robert R eilly was chosen as our vice-president. N o less spirited were the discussions o f the second term, and so well did the youthfu l P eterites thrash out each question which presented itse lf for discussion th at a public debate was soon arranged w ith R egis H igh School o f N ew York. Trials were held fo r th is debate and the follow in g succeeded in obtaining a position on the first debating team o f the M ulry D eb atin g Society: D ennis M cFeely, Joseph Byrne, and Howard Alberque. Robert R eilly was chosen alternate. Other public debates are b eing arranged with local schools but as y et no definite plans have been settled upon. For the first tim e in the history o f this society a prize debate is to be held in the school hall. The question w ill -be whether Greek or Science is more beneficial to the high school boy. I t w as during th is term th at a change in the name o f the society was thought expedient. M any names were presented for adoption and after a tw o weeks delay, during which tim e every name was carefully weighed in the balance, it was at last decided th at no more fitting name than th at o f Fr. Joseph Mulry, one tim e President o f St. P e te r ’s College, could be chosen to supplant the old name o f our society. So the Junior D ebating S ociety became at once the Fr. Joseph Mulry D ebating Society o f St. P e te r ’s. The follow in g resolution was drawn u p : R ESO LU T IO N W h e r e f o r e , as it has seemed fittin g that this society o f public speaking, hither to known as the Junior D ebating Society, should have attached to it a name worthy o f its successes: W h e r e a s , it has seemed good to each and every member o f this Society to choose the name o f Fr. Joseph Mulry, one tim e President o f this In stitu tion , and him self a renowned orator, and debater o f no mean a b ility ; B e it R esolved, That this Society, hitherto known as the Junior D ebating So ciety, w ill hereafter be known as “ The Fr. Joseph Mulry D ebating Society o f St. P e te r ’s Preparatory School. ’ ’

Hramattrs 8 0 successful were the efforts o f the Prep D ram atic S ociety and so representa tive o f H igh School achievem ent were its results that the w riter o f th is column takes pleasure in recording the season o f 1924. The avenues o f thespian endeavor were tw o this year— and poles apart. I f , therefore, the D ram atic Society w as successful in these two spheres, th en nothing more o f praise is needed than to tell its story. The first accomplishm ent w as the annual school p lay: “ Seven K eys to Baldpate, ’ ’ In this, the talen t displayed easily surpassed those o f previous years, a fa ct attested by the comment o f a number Of yearly patrons. A nd no better approval o f th is work was accorded the boys than the words o f their reverend P refect o f Studies, a man whose praise is never in the excess. ‘ * There were absent from th is y e a r ’s production,” said Fr. F lem ing, “ th at stagin ess, hesitancy, frig h t and awkwardness which so often characterizes the amateur. There was nothing o f the school-boy play in Ours. ’ ’ Beverend Father H ector’s praise, though not less appreciated, was more appealing when it took the form o f gran tin g the young actors a banquet and the school a holiday. - ‘ ‘ The only adverse criticism I have to make, ’ ’ said the Hector incidentally, “ is m y regret th at more o f the b o y s’ parents did not w itness the ad mirable production. “ Since th is fa u lt can be laid upon th e student body, let this be the sole adm onition o f the writer.. The objects o f these words o f unstinted praise are the follow in g: Desmond R. Murray, ’27, a prom ising discovery in F irst Year who played exceptionally well “ M agee, the n o v e lis t;” M iehael F . R eilly, ’25, the fam ous “ N o r a ” in “ Under Cover, ’ ’ who doffed the b eau tifu l red dress o f la st year for a sport su it in ‘ ‘ R eggie Thornhill, th e blackm ailer,” and filled th e part as w ell; Joseph K eefer, ’24, wellw it and Jersey Journal correspondent, in “ Q u im b y ;” John J . Lyons, ’24, o f last y e a r ’s cast; John N . Tarrant and Thomas P . Ward o f last y e a r ’s D ram atic Society) together w ith the hitherto unknown but clever young actors, Thomas A. Guider, Louis Greco, o f Third Year ; Howard J . Alberque and Francis J . D oyle o f Second Y ear; Fred Charles E sser o f th e Graduating Class, with John and Joseph O ’Mara holding down tw o heavy roles as officers o f the law. And so they played their part in this first achievement. B u t the D ram atic S ociety did not disband at the final curtain o f this modern play. W hen the id ea o f the P assion Drama— “ The Upper R oom ” — was conceived, several o f the above were chosen as understudies. Nor in th is often unrecompensing capacity were th ese either slow to respond or ungenerous in a truly praiseworthy unstudying. Desmond Murray and M ichael R eilly were on hand to step in and take the role o f “ S a m u el;” Joseph H am ilton was prepared to read the Prologue; Patrick W. Rohan understudied ‘ ‘J o h n ; ’ ’ Thomas W ard, “ J u d a s ;” Howard A l berque, 1 ‘ P e te r ; ’ ’ and M artin L angan, ‘ ‘ Longinus. ’ ’ I t was th e intention o f the Reverend D irector to let th is cast perform for the students, but as th is goes to press, th e student body has not as y et w itnessed what, potentially at least, is the second achievem ent o f the D ram atic Society. The editors o f th e C e p h e a n extend to the members o f this Society their con gratulations and commend to the undergraduates o f the Prep these worthy exponents o f school spirit in lines theatrical and elocutionary. Success to the D ram atic So ciety o f the coming year!

M n m t M usic still holds its place both among the activities and in the hearts o f St. P e te r ’s students. W ithout being an extraordinary boast or an Alm a M ater, the Orchestra th is year proved an outlet, all o f its own character, for the m anifestations o f school spirit. Mo pupil o f mere mediocre school spirit w ill enlist and d iligently apply h im self to the hum-drum practice (indoors) o f scales, runs and fifth positions. To this u nattractive schooling, however, came tw enty or more servants o f their Muse. T aking a different and more modern form , the orchestra was composed o f three good saxophone players in Jam es Bonnell, Thomas Fitzsim m ons and John Folks, J r.; three form er violin ists, Fred E ngle, Thomas F itzpatrick and Francis D oyle, with three new assistan ts, John Morris, John Lynch and John S lattery; two trombonists, A ldo Y erga and Robert Clements; the fa ith fu l trum peters, Charles Brady and John A llen, enhanced by “ S latts ” Flaherty and Jam es Greeves. A touch of the modern sym phonic “ J a z z ” was added occasionally by the clever tw an gin g o f Lotus Greco’s banjo-m andolin. L ucian B aril beat the drum. These form ed th e nucleus o f the orchestra. B ut the calibre o f this organization w ith its heavy brass was such that in the mind o f the M oderator, a Prep Band did not seem an im possibility. E n listin g the aid o f the sm all but m ighty Guterl Brothers and a few ex-Prep men and taking ad vantage o f the kind offer o f Lucian B a r il’s father to direct us, we, the members o f the m usical squad, sallied forth on the gridiron, last Thanksgiving Day, and for the first tim e in m any moons St. P e te r ’s Prep played Dickinson to the strains o f a band. (W ith deference we offer the Prep E leven an a lib i.) The enthusiasm o f the band, like a straw fire, however raged m ightily for a while and soon fe ll to nothing. Orchestra and Band are not the only products o f Prep musicians. For it might be well to state that among them are various organizations such as “ F o lk s’ Syncop a to rs,” “ R oon ey’s E n tertain ers,” — Charles is th e accompanist o f the Prep Or chestra,— and ‘ G reco’s Dinner Quintet. ’ ’ W illiam O ’Donnell holds the unique d is tinction of havin g played over the Radio from station WOR o f Newark. I t is the hope th at W illiam w ill enroll him self as official accompanist when Rooney takes to the broad highw ay in June.

D evotion to the B lessed V irgin M ary has alw ays held a prominent p osition in Jesu it H igh Schools and Colleges. St. P e te r ’s not to be outdone in devotion by other J esu it Schools has alw ays boasted o f several Sod alities dedicated to the B lessed V irgin. In form er years the sodalities have been lim ited to the Senior and Junior only, but now on account o f the increased number o f devoted sodalists, the number o f Sod alities has been increased to four. B esides the Senior and Junior sodalities there are also tw o sodalities o f first year, known as that o f the Freshman A and Freshm an B respectively. The Senior Sodality presided over by Rev. Fr. K iehne, S. J ., m eets every T ues day m orning a t 8.30 A. M. in the school Chapel. This S odality is composed of boys from third and fourth years. I t demands some sacrifice for the boys to be present a t the weekly m eeting at 8.30 because many o f them come from a distance, but th ey begrudge no sacrifice, and for this reason the Chapel is filled to capacity w ith eager advocates, show ing their great devotion to the M other o f God. B efore we conclude w ith Senior Sodality we w il l ' mention its officers. They are: P refect, Joh n D. K ean e; A ssistan t P refect, John W. M ahoney; Secretary, Edward Salm on; O rganist, Chas. B. B ooney; Sacris tan, John O'M ara. In the Junior Sodality there are sodalists o f equal zeal in their devotion to the B lessed Mother o f God. On F riday m ornings they assemble in the School Chapel un der the able guidance o f Mr. K eegan, S. J . They crowd their place o f worship so that there is hardly stan d in g room for those who m ay come a little later than the others. They recite the sam e office as the Senior S odality and as their elder broth ers, they receive a lecture from their fond Moderator. The officers o f the Junior Sodality include: P refect, Thomas M ulligan; A ssist ant P refect, F rancis B ooney; Secretary, John Lynch, and Sacristan, Francis Dohn. Grea/t praise must be extended to the members of the first year sodality for the great devotion they have shown to the Mother o f God. Owing to the great amount o f enthusiasm shown by the boys o f the first year it was necessary that there should be two divisions o f the sodality, Freshman A and Freshman B. The sodality o f Freshm an A m eets every W ednesday morning in the chapel .to recite their prayers, after which they receive short instructions from their beloved M oderator, Rev. Fr. H ealy, S. J . I t is a g r a tify in g sigh t to see there these young boys who have ju st started their course at St. P e te r ’s, recite their offerings to the greatest o f Mothers. Freshm an B Sodality m eets Thursday morning in the school Chapel and recites the same prayers as their first year brothers. They are guided in their devotion by Mr. McMamany, S. J. The officers of Freshman B Sodality are: P refect, John Morris, and A ssistant P refect, Ralph Buffer. In St. P e te r ’s H igh School there is in Spiritual M atters, one great development, and this is the Sodality. The promotion o f the devotion to our B lessed Lady has been forem ost among all the classes. Thus we have four Sodalities, and the m eetings o f these are very w ell attended, show ing th at the students are zealous in their devo tion to the Mother o f God, their Protectress. On February the second reception was held in the church and the boys o f all Sodalities who had not been received previously received the much coveted Sodality Diplom a. This reception was by no means held for a few members only but the centre aisle o f the upper church was filled with zealous sodalists, showing an out ward m anifestation o f their love and devotion to the Blessed V irgin.

iFnothall Although our F ootball warriors of nineteen twenty-three fa iled to annex any championship titles, or create any new records they nobly upheld the traditions o f St. P e te r ’s on the grid iron, and had every loyal ‘ ‘ P eterite ’ ’ lu stily cheering whenever they took the field. F acin g one o f the hardest schedules that a St. P e te r ’s team has been asked to face, in many a season, this y e a r ’s Maroon and W hite re sponded heartily to Coach D o h erty ’s call, and gave every inch of football a b ility and St. P e te r ’s fight that it possessed. True, the record o f our boys was stained with five defeats, but all were at the hands o f much heavier and experienced opponents; and again, had dame fortune been a bit more favorable, St. P e te r ’s would have enjoyed a much more brilliant and glorious season, for no less than four o f our five d efeats were due to M r . H u g h F. D o h e r t y the well-known breaks. N evertheless undaunted by the set-backs, our lads displayed undying spirit and unrelenting fight and turned in glorious victories for old St. P e te r ’s. In Septem ber, prospects for the ineteen tw enty three gridiron team was any th in g but g ra tify in g , for practically all o f the last y e a r ’s first and second teams had been lost by graduation, and all in all, everything pointed to a poor and unsuccessful season. B u t by dint o f hard labor and many sleepless nights, coach “ H u g h ie” Doherty m anaged to round out a team that was able to hold its own with any team in the county, and as a result St. P e te r ’s was again represented by a team, o f which it m ay be rig h tfu lly proud. B esides developing a speedy aggregation, Coach Doherty also developed many stars among whom are Captain Langan, Captain-elect “ H ip ” Evens, “ R ich ie” E agan, “ F r e d ” Fox, “ B il l” Kehoe, and “ B o b ” N agle, all o f whom received a position on the m ythical all-county eleven; while Langan and Evers received honorable mention for all state honors. The Cephean Staff in behalf o f the students o f St. P e te r ’s take this opportunity to thank Coach Doherty for his untiring efforts in strivin g to put forth team s that are well worthy to uphold the Maroon and W hite banners o f St. P e te r ’s in any branch o f sports. I t likewise wishes to reveal the unseen, y et constant work o f Mr. Jam es A. McCarl, S. J ., Moderator of A thletics, to whom the school owes a lastin g debt o f gratitude. Pounding and pum m eling their w ay to nine touchdowns, the V arsity inaugu rated the season in a most auspicious manner by soundly drubbing the gridders from Bayonne H igh School to the tune o f 56 to 6 . The powerful line plunges and the terrific end runs o f the Maroon backfield were to o . much for the South Hudson lads, and as the result the game took on the aspect o f just how many points St. P e te r ’s would accumulate. B ayon n e’s offense was helpless against St. P e te r ’s, and it w as not until the final quarter when the boys from the lower end o f the county, in a last effort, launched an aerial attack that they managed to score their lone six points, for their attem pt for the goal was unsuccessful. W ith this victory tucked

aw ay, the Prep squad traveled to Bloom field to engage in their next combat, which w as w ith the fo otb all representatives o f Bloomfield H igh School. Here St. P e te r ’s m et w ith some unexpected opposition and received their first setback o f the season by a 27 to 7 score. A fter p layin g poor footb all in the in itia l h a lf and as a result of b eing on the short end o f a 25 to 0 count, the Prep eleven showed their undying fight by p layin g their opponents to a stan d still, while they, them selves, garnered a touchdown and a goal a fter a touchdown in the second h alf. However, the early lead o f the home team w as too great and thus St. P e te r ’s was forced to accepts its first d efeat at the hands o f la st y e a r ’s class B fo otb all champs. On Columbus D ay, the Grand Street boys traveled to Brooklyn and clashed with their old-tim e rivals, Brooklyn Prep. A fter a hard-fought game the Brooklyn boys m anaged to nose out Prep b y a 9 to 7 score. St. P e te r ’s started off in fine fashion and before the Brooklyn boys knew th at th ey were in the gam e, Prep had advanced the ball to their 1 0 yard lin e ; however, th ey lacked the punch to take the ball over, and as a result lost it on downs. Here the Brooklyn aggregation took a brace for the better and a fter a march down the field they scored on St. P e te r ’s. Brooklyn increased her lead again in the second h a lf when she scored a touch-back but St. P e te r ’s w as not to be denied and came through with a touchdown. This ended the scoring. In a gam e replete w ith thrills and injuries, again St. P e te r ’s was marred with d efeat a t the hands o f the stron g Fordham eleven b y the tig h t score o f 6 to 0 . “ B o b ” Coyle, star quarterback o f the P rep, received a broken w rist in the game, which forced him to remain on the sidelines for th e rest o f the season. In this clash St. P e te r ’s received m any tough breaks which, had they not occurred, would have given Prep m any more chances o f evening up the count and thereby saving the day. P eeved to a certain extent by their recent d efeats, the Grand Street boys de cided to mend their w ays. The huskies o f U psala College were next to act as guests to the Prep outfit and in a hard game the St, P e te r ’s boys broke their lo sin g streak by trim m ing the Collegians b y a 12 to 7 score. Although St. P e te r ’s led from beginn in g until the end, the victory w as not certain, for the boys from Kenilworth made m any daring attem pts to snatch victory from the grasp o f the Grand Streeters. Emerson H igh next fe ll victim to the aggressive Prepsters by a 42 to 0 count. S tartin g w ith the in tia l w histle, St. P e te r ’s hammered away at the Blue and W hite defense and had soon broken the ice by scoring a touchdown. This was follow ed by more in rapid succession, u n til at the- end o f the first h a lf St. P e te r ’s was leading 26 to 0. In the second h a lf Prep merely toyed with the W est Hoboken lads, and scored alm ost at w ill. In the fourth quarter Coach D oherty put in his second and third team s, and th ey too, m ade ch ild ’s p lay o f the Blue and W hite eleven. The next move o f the Prep team w as to F letc h e r’s F ield , Fairview , where they lined up again st the gridders o f U nion H ill H igh in what proved to be a detrim ental game, for after the clash, ath letie relations between Prep and Union H ill were east asunder. This was due to the unfairness and incom petency o f a certain U nion H ill official, who gave St. P e te r ’s a poor deal, and in general to the unsportsmanship o f the en tire U nion H ill ath letie board. D espite the referee, St. P e te r ’s managed to hold the lead by a 13 to 7 score until th e final quarter, when a few bad decisions by the referee and some neat footb all on the part o f Union. H ill helped to register a touch down. The goal after the touchdown was made and thus U nion H ill claimed victory. St. P e te r ’s protested the game to the State A thletic Board, but to no avail, for the Board declared U nion H ill the winner by a 14 to 13 socre. Lincoln H igh was St. P eters ’ next opponent, and from all indications Prep was to score an overwhelming victory; but over confidence on the part o f the Grand Streeters was costly and as a result a t ;the end o f -the first half, St. P e te r ’s was only leading 12 to 0. However, in the second h a lf the Prep started to plow through the Lincoln defense and soon massed a total o f twenty-five p o in ts; so that when the final w histle blew the score read St. P e te r ’s, 26; Lincoln, 0. In this game every member o f St. P e te r ’s squad took p a r t; much to the discom fort of the Lincoln rooters.

A t last the b ig sporting event o f the year was at hand, the St. P e te r ’s-Dickinson footb all game. And on th at well remembered T hanksgiving D ay there ensued one o f the hardest fo u g h t and most b rillian tly played fo otb all gam es played in th is county in m any a year. The gam e started w ith St. P e te r ’s receiving, but being un able to gain any ground the Prep kicked and the H illtoppers received the ball well in their territory and began an even tfu l march down the field fo r their first score, a touchdown by the H illtop Ace, Roepke. A fter b a ttlin g again for aw hile St. P e te r ’s defense crumbled and D ickinson by brilliant end runs advanced the ball to the P r e p ’s 5 yard line. H ere Roepke ploughed through St. P e te r ’s line for H illto p ’s second and final score. A t this juncture the h a lf ended w ith D ickinson lead in g with a 12 to 0 score. The second h a lf found St. P e te r ’s fighting hard and p layin g D ick inson to a stan d still. In this h a lf “ H ip ” Evers, by a fifty-yard run scored a touch down for St. P e te r ’s and there brightened St. P e te r ’s chances for victory. I t is an encouraging fa c t th a t St. P e te r ’s scored tw elve first downs, in th is h a lf, to H ill t o p ’s two. W ith new fight in them St. P e te r ’s played and fou gh t as only a real St. P e te r ’s team can until the final w histle. They fou gh t and gave their utm ost for St. P e te r ’s but fa iled . W hat more can any team give for its A lm a M ater? Thus St. P e te r ’s concluded the nineteen tw enty-three season by bow ing to D ickinson by a 12 to 6 score, but as the team disbands w e see Captain L angan sayin g to Captainelect Evers, “ Carry on! and bring to old St. P e te r ’s the esteem , adm iration and love o f a l l ! ”

SaaketbaU W hen the la st defiant cheer o f footb all season had been given, and the last ‘ ‘ drumstick ’ ’ o f th e T hanksgiving turkey demolished, St. P e te r ’s students began to consider the eom ing B asketball season. Some dreams soared high and crowned the Maroon team o f 1924 w ith the coveted championship. Others, m indful o f th e loss o f ‘ ‘ Pop ’ ’ G eraghty, and ‘ ‘ Jim m ie ’ ’ M cLaughlin, were less optim istic. A ll knew th at the team produced, whatever its victories or d efeats, would be a team w orthy o f the respect o f its opponents and the devotion o f its follow ers. A nd their fa ith was justified for St. P e te r ’s team o f 1924 was every b it as spirited and aggressive and imbued with the principles o f fairp la y as have been the lon g line o f P etrean athletes back to the dawn o f St. P e te r ’s College. The first evidence o f the wholehearted support given by the school was evinced by the large aggregation th at reported to Captain R yan a t the first eall to practice. The fa ct th at five veterans from the 1923 varsity and tw o from the seconds reported for duty did not deter the student body in the least. Frequent cuts by Coach D oherty finally reduced the unwieldy mob to a workable squad and St. P e te r ’s found three new basketball stars upon the horizon, Leavey, McGann, and Dunn, in addition to last y e a r ’s veterans, Ryan, A llen, Evers, Jordan, F oley, Cashman, and Lee. Our boys started out in im pressive style by decisively outclassing N ewark Prep 40-13 early in December, w ith the reliable “ P o p ” A llen as our individual star. This victory was follow ed by such a line o f postponem ents th at it seem ed th at St. P e te r ’s would retire undefeated unless some team appeared and kept its court ap pointm ents. F in a lly the P etrean quintet journeyed to M anhattan and clashed w ith Loyola, losing by a 43-27 count. B oth Ryan and Leavy contributed largely to the Prep scoring and led w ith rallies th at alm ost saved the day many tim es during the battle. Two days late, Prep revived its former vigor o f play and beat out W est N ew York in a th rillin g finish, 19-17. McGann and Jordan starred and it was little ‘ *Jim m ie ’ ’ who dodged his w ay down the court with the score tied and a minute to go and arched the w inning ta lly into the n et for St. P e te r ’s. On January 14 X avier five turned back St. P e te r ’s by one point, 32-31, despite rallies. L eavey and Cashman were the b ig guns for Prep in th is struggle and ‘ ‘ Lenor ’ ’ in particular dem onstarted th at aggressive floor work that has so often held opposing team s to a low score. Our Maroon and W hite team kept a clean slate opposition by shading Emerson H. S., 22-21, aided largely by L ea v ey ’s accuracy in sinking the baskets. This w in w as follow ed by another setback when R egis, one o f N ew Y o rk ’s fa s t est team s roped in St. P e te r ’s, 29-23, despite the bull dog defense o f Ryan and Cashman. On the 25th our old rivals triumphed and Dickinson beat St. P e te r ’s 51-16, at the Armory, before a record crowd. D espite the one-sided appearance o f the score the crowd was constantly on edge for the Maroon figh tin g spirit was so evident that a w inning drive could have been expected alm ost any moment.A llen and Evers starred and kept the H illtoppers constantly on th e go. Prep invaded W est N ew York a few days later and showed the effects o f the nervous strain caused by the D ickinson contest by losin g a ragged game 24-15. Jim m ie Dunn, a newcomer in varsity basketball, led the St. P e te r ’s scoring and d is played an excellent brand o f play. The Maroon team had a little trouble in conquering Lincoln by a score o f 28-17, L eavey p u ttin g Prep away ahead by his spectacular basket shooting. P r e p ’s invasion o f Brooklyn resulted in the closest game o f the year. The first quarter score was 1-1, h alf time found a 4-4 tie, and the deadlock continued at the end o f the third period, 8 -8 , Brooklyn finally w inning by a sin gle point, 11-10. Aided by “ F a t ” O ’Donnell, our boys fou gh t hard at X avier but came out on the short end, 21-18.

In our gam e a t R egis the scoring com bination o f A llen and O ’D onnell worked fa st but the h om ester’s fam ilia rity w ith the court settled the gam e and won the day 38-30. N ewark Prep avenged her form er d efea t by b eatin g out the Grandstreeters 21-18, at N ewark. Cashman and McGann displayed im pressive p la y but our boys were not able to keep up w ith the N ewark speed. Emerson was the victor in another thriller, 27-25, w ith A llen as the P etrean star. Prep displayed a flash o f their pristine vigor by overwhelm ing L incoln 29-9 on their own court, holding the Blue machine to tw o baskets. P repsters also upset the “ d o p e” by travelin g to E idgew ood and shading the strong H igh School five 23-22. The season ended w ith a game but fu tile effort to stop. Paterson. Home team won out 24-17, but Prep played a fa s t gam e and w ith better luck in the long shots m ight have counted for another victory. And so the end o f March saw the conclusion o f another ath letie season and the passing into memory o f one more St. P e te r 's team ever loyally d efen d in g the honor o f its Alm a Mater.

M idget

T eam

fH ib g e t la a k t f t h a U St. P e te r ’s was represented on the court by a second team this year in the form o f St. P e te r ’s M idgets, a team composed o f dim inutive players, none o f whom ex ceeded one hundred and th irty pounds in w eight. A lthough th e M idgets were only able to w in nine gam es as compared to a lik e number o f losses, they brought much glory to “ old St. P e te r ’s ” on the court, since in p ractically every start they were greatly outw eighed by their opponents. And despite this handicap in w eight and size, combined w ith the fa ct th at th e M idgets were compelled to play on foreign courts, they played brilliant ball and fou gh t gallan tly, and it was only a fter forty m inutes o f hard p layin g th at the strongest team s in Hudson County and the M etro politan district were able to down the lig h t P r ep sters; for th ey were imbued with the w ill to fight gam ely under any possible circum stances. A nd it w as w ith this splendid spirit, traditional at fa ir S t. P e te r ’s, united w ith am azing ab ility, that helped the P eterites to cope w ith any rivals and to prosper in their undertakings. The M id gets opened the season by travelin g to N ew York City, where they played the L oyola Second team , but the fa st floorwork and accurate shooting o f the Gotham lads were too great a handicap fo r the Prepstears to overcome and as a re sult the M idgets lost by a 22 to 17 count. Chase was t h e . outstanding player for L oyola; Curley for the M idgets. To avenge this d efeat the M idgets met and de feated the M idgets o f last year by a 37 to 26 count in a fa st and furious battle. The next victim added to the M idgets list were the, X avier Goblins who were downed by a 21 to 17 count, a fter forty m inutes o f terrific basketball playin g. This w inning streak was shortlived however, as the Cathedral M adaves sprung a b ig surprise and d efeated the Prepsters by a 25 to 22 tally. P la y in g the prelim inary game to the V arsity-R egis gam e, the M idgets again h it their stride and handed the Lincoln Sec onds a severe drubbing by a 27 to 8 score. B u t again “ Old Mari J in x ” g ot working and as a result the M idgets suceumbed to the Seton M idgets by a 27 to 24 score. N ext w as the memorable D ickinson game, in which our M idgets were trounced by a 53 to 13 score. However, in all fairness to the M idgets it must be stated that the D ickinson Seconds, the team which they played, held a great advantage over them in size and w eigh t; later several o f these Dickinson players became regulars on the V arsity, which put up a very creditable show ing again st many strong teams. The next game w ith the L incoln Seconds was one which brought both joy and sorrow to the M idgets fo r a fter drubbing the L incolnites by a 23 ot 14 score, the M id g ets’ ace and Captain, “ B ill” Curley, was elevated to the V arsity team , thus p u ttin g a deep gap in the D im in u tive’s offensive machine. W ith practically a new team the M idgets started off again, and th is tim e snowed under the basketers o f St. Francis Prep by a 26 to 18 score. The M idgets then dropped a game to Seton H all and one to X avier, but came back strong and d efeated Lincoln for the third successive tim e, by a 21 to 10 score. St. P a tr ic k ’s H igh School o f E lizabeth was next to fa ll heir to a drubbing, the E lizabeth boys b ein g trounced by a 47 to 30 score. The M idgets concluded their season in a blaze o f glory by trim m ing the Prep Freshman by a 27 to 26 score, after a hard-fought game. The Freshman had previously won sixteen straight games and a victory was the coveted goal o f both tea m s; the M idgets how ever, by means o f their superior basketball skill downed the heavy Freshman and thus annexed a sw eet victory over their rivals. The follow ing players composed the M idget B asketball Squad: Captain Curley, who was promoted to the V arsity team ; Captain Cannon; Mann, Close, Coyle, H a g gerty, Doherty, H ull, Spranz, Trzeeiackewiecz, and Coffey. The M idget Team, through our Moderator, Mr. Mulcahy, S. J ., wish to take this opportunity to thank Father Larkin o f St. B r id g e t’s Church for his kind permission to practice at the Lyceum. Our success in great measure is due to his kindness.

“•Prep” Jfesljman laak^IbaU ®?am A th in g unprecedented in the annals o f St. P e te r ’s Prep, and we may say, w holly unexpected and unheralded, there budded and blossomed forth a new little quintet, the Freshm an Five. L ittle indeed in size and w eight, but b ig in their successes, fifteen won consecu tively , th is young band o f P eterites has already evinced that tone o f school spirit and sturdy calibre which w ill rin g true, and in fuller, mellower notes, when, three years hence it w ill decorate these same pages o f the C e p h e a n w ith its championship title. N or is this a vain boast. For to see such m anifest prowess, however miniature, and such paten t results as the follow in g sta tistics show, is enough to assure the most sceptical o f A lm a M aters th at her own spirit is already engendered in her youngest recruits. F ostered by the praiseworthy in itiative o f Manager Connor and directed by a M oderator, h im self an enthusiast in all th in gs P etrean, Mr. R. P . F lanagan, S. J., the Freshm an quintet sallied forth unobtrusively and returned with the sub scribed schedule o f success. P rim arily notew orthy stands am ong its members the ace of the team , Dick Lynch, who scored 64 baskets and 26 fouls for a to ta l o f 154 points. N ext, we wish to m ention W alter Sm ith, a St. A ed a n ’s boy, and a very prom ising player, who totaled 94 p oin ts; Joe Lyons, the star centre, scoring 63 p oin ts; while Casale o f B ayonne, w ith 50 points to his credit, is no mean promise for a championship quintet for 1927. In th e actual gam es others showed sturdy ab ility worthy o f the approving nod from St. P e te r ’s : Tommy Prout, who played exceptionally well against the strong St. R egis, Fordham, and the Prep M idget team s; M alloy, who, though incapacitated b y an injury early in the season and forced merely to w itness nine games, came forth and starred in the final contest, M idgets vs. Freshm an; Franklin Yerdon, the W est Hoboken lad, who, though a late arrival a t the school, easily won a place on the Freshman Five. In glan cin g at the appended schedule o f th is team , local readers are called to notice th e calibre o f such opposing team s as the Bayonne Aereo F ive, the strong Sunshine A th letic Club o f Jersey City,, again st whom a fifty minute battle was needed to prove the superiority o f our Freshman .Quintet, and lastly the difficulty w ith which our own Prep M idgets were met to gain the victory in the th rillin g final fray o f the season. The schedule o f the team is as follow s: SCOEE

®rark A lthough not a sin gle race was won we have great hopes for a splen did track team for next fall. Through Mr. D r isc o ll’s encouragements and consistent train in g many hopes, such as Murphy and W illis, have developed very rapidly while F laherty, Captain Connell and all the old guard should carry us to. many victories, even this spring. H aggerty was manager and Hannon assistant and publicity agent. In this office he kept Finn, H ackett, Clemens, W alsh, Lynch, and B eilly be fore the public and made St. P e te r ’s still better known than before. Here is our schedule planned by our M oderator, Mr. McManamy, 8. J. February 12— Lincoln Meet. February 22— Dickinson Meet. March 8— De W itt Clinton. March 15— Central H igh School. April 19— Interscholastic Cham pionship, N ew York U niversity. April 26—-Penn B elay Carnival, Philadelphia. 3— D ual M eet w ith Emerson. 8— J esu it H ig h School Meet. 17— S. P. D. L. Jersey City Championship Meet. 24— Adelphi-Cutler-St. P e te r ’s. Our greatest desire is to get a place in the one mile B elay at the Penn Car nival. Stranger things than that have happened. I t was a St. P e te r ’s boy who scored the only point Jersey City received at the Interscholastic Championship in Newark. Our men are supreme in out door running and we look for the cinder path to break to pieces th e hoax th at has follow ed us so long. B u t n ext year, yes, we really m ean it, next year, when w e run our B adio Drive w ithout it com ing to a sudden death, when we can run th e first Annual Indoor meet o f St. P e te r ’s H igh School and w in a few trophies ourselves, when our young sw ift footed sprinters w ill be seasoned to hearing p istol shots and startin g w ith the H igh School champions o f th e nation, then take notice and see that our training was not all in vain and our prophecy not unfulfilled. As it was our men ran splendidly. The reason for our in ab ility to win was the nature o f com petition. When one recalls that w e ran in races where representatives o f other schools o f Jersey and even N ew York failed to receive a point some idea of the in ten sity o f com petition can be realized. In other sports local school content them selves in p layin g w ith local opponents. N ot so in track. A t the Central games w e raced again st th e fam ous Mercersburg Academy and the H untington School o f B oston, probably the tw o lead in g schools in track in America. A t the Penn Carni val two continents o f athletes are to be represented. Track com petition of the tw entieth century in exten sity as w ell as in ten sity excels th a t o f any other sport. H ence, to have a real first class squad means that thorough cooperation must come from the student body, and not. merely cease there but extend to those no longer atten d in g school. W e decry the present vice o f professional scouting for men but we do wish that every Catholic boy about Jersey City whom God has blessed not only w ith a good soul and head but also with sound body would think tw ice before he goes to high school w ithout ever having given St. P e te r ’s a thought. I f my school is going to reap any rewards somebody has to do the, sowing, somebody supply the seed, somebody do the plow ing and cultivating. A ll I have supplied has been the tim e old complaint, “ Why d on ’t they get a tea m ? ” and not even weeds can be reaped from complaints. Our track men this year, like all our other men, fou gh t bravely and to the finish. Would we had more of them! St. P e te r ’s can be great in track athletics, only when co-operation from all who “ would like to s e e ” a w inning team has been received and only when the prelimimaries th at correspond to the plowing, harrowing, sow ing and cultivating o f a field have been endured can a team the rival of any in this nation be sincerely expected.

la s e h a U A lm ost sim ultaneously w ith the closing o f the basketball season came th e call for candidates fo r the nineteen tw enty-four baseball team , and although the team is greatly handicapped by the many vacancies le ft by graduation, a strong and fo r midable nine is expected to represent S t. P eter ’a on the diam ond this season. ’ In past year, Prep has been represented w ith championship team s, team s w ell worthy and deserving to carry the Maroon and W hite banners o f “ old St. P e te r ’s , ” team s which have carved the nam e o f St. P e te r ’s at the very peak o f the scholastic b ase ball column o f honor and prestige. The task o f holding up th is reputation has been handed down to us and to us has been entrusted the task o f m aking th e nineteen tw enty-four season as glorious, i f not more glorious than those o f form er years. L et us cheer our team on to victory in every start so th at when th e season is closed m idst unending laurels, w e may be proud to term ourselves real, true, P eterites. In th e first part o f A pril, Coach D oherty issued the lo n g aw aited call for can didates, and as a result a vast assem blage o f budding stars reported to offer all to their A lm a M ater D ay in and day out they labored u n tirin gly through the long and wearisome weeks o f pre-season train in g in order to gain one o f the coveted positions and w ith friendly rivalry each candidate earnestly vied with his fellow school mates. The Prep “ n in e ,” o f this season, d esp ite the m any handicaps w ill be a fa st and speedy aggregation and w ith a little experience may turn out to be even State Champs. Our infield though composed only o f one veteran in the form o f ‘ ‘ Captain ’ ’ “ N e m ie ” Powers is rapidly rounding into ,shape and our outer garden-keepers are nabbing the spheroid from all angles w ith sure and certain ab ility. Our batteries, although not as excellent as those o f form er years are quickly rounding into cham pionship form and are sure to cause our opponents no little amount o f trouble. Combined w ith th is fielding, our candidates are not shy in w ielding the w illow which is a great asset to a team. The C e p h e a n leaves the team a,t th is sta g e o f its train in g and although our boys have yet to engage in active combat we are certain th at success w ill come to their every effort, th at th ey w ill be worthy representatives o f St. P e te r ’s on the diamond, and th at they w ill bring unending praise, glory and honor, to ’ ’Old Maroon ’ ’ and Alm a M ater.

Alumni Nntea The p la y is rapidly draw ing to a close, and the graduates and students, having rendered their parts have reluctantly disappeared from the stage. B u t what chron icle o f school happenings is com plete w ithout some m ention o f the Alumni, those loyal “ Old G rads,” who have carried the traditions o f St. P e te r ’s into an alien world and w ith the teachings o f the J esu its ever forem ost in their minds have fought their w ay to success. W e realize th a t we have a colossal task upon our hands when we attem pt with poor pen to chronicle their endeavors and victories. To indelibly engrave their names and works upon tab lets o f bronze would be a far more fittin g tribute. B ut asking pardon for our shortcom ings, we w ill do our humble best, and we fervently hope th at th ese w ritings w ill help to weld an unbreakable link between the A lum ni and the undergraduates.
