A h a lf century in the life of a college is only a period of grow th. It m ay later expand u ntil the hoary centuries have cast a lustre over it, a n d its nam e m ay w in recognition in distant quarters. O r it m ay suddenly burst into bloom only to die just as suddenly; and if a college dies, can there be no awakening? From the ruins w hich have come upon it, not of its ow n choosing, St. Peter’s College can a n d w ill arise! T o propagate this cause, we, the Class o f ’29, retell the brief history o f our A lm a M ater as our parting token o f affection. M ay the message of our pages bear speedy fru it!

A VISION s i N the plain solitude of his room, many a dreamer has caught a glimpse of a new ' I invention or a new institution which would advance the man of tomorrow beyond / the m an of today. From these dreams comes a conviction, and w ith the conviction, a plan. From plans born of such visions have come the modern marvels whereby man rises to the clouds and descends beneath the ocean waves, or sends his voice, even his picture, instantaneously over large tracts of land. There have been other dreamers whose visions rose to those higher regions whence come the aids th at quicken the intellectual and spiritual faculties of man. These men would open the pages of the world’s best thoughts to the eyes of each wondering youth and teach him how to make these thoughts his own. He would be shown the Provi dence of God in the operations of earthly things and he would be convinced that life is futile and meaningless unless linked to an intim ate friendship with God. W ith a thorough knowledge and appreciation of his Faith and with the words of great orators, dramatists and poets ringing in his ears, he would step from the class room to lend his keen mental powers to the intricate problems of the day. In the year 1870, one of these latter dreamers arrived in Jersey City. He soon became known to the people as Rev. John McQuaid, S. J., who had come to succeed Father John Carrigan of the Secular Clergy as Pastor of the new Church of St. Peter. A nother Jesuit Priest and two Lay Brothers were his companions in the work of the Parish. Although shackled for many years by the heavy debt contracted during the building of the Church, Father McQuaid found time to nourish his vision until it ex panded and grew into a definite plan. A nd w hat was his plan? H e was seeking the great glory that would be given to God by the opening of a College in Jersey City. But would the inhabitants of the city second his project? W ith no historical traditions prom pting them to develop the mental activities of their sons, the people had need to be taught why it was worth even their last penny to procure for their boys a better opportunity in life than they had at the time. To create this desire in the hearts of the people was the first logical step. Tw o years were to elapse before the Father felt that he had the full confidence and support of his parishoners. On the opposite page he is represented with the vision ever before his eyes.

IHEIR plans formulated, Fathers McQuaid, Bapst and Beaudevin applied their labors w ith feverish zeal and by dint of sheer persistence and tenacity of p u r pose, accomplished an apparently impossible task. In 1871, the application of St. Peter’s for a State C harter was presented to the State Legislature. The evident enthusiasm of th at body toward this educational pro ject facilitated legal m atters greatly, for they rendered their approval not merely in verbal formalities, b u t by extending to the Fathers all the power w ith which they were vested. This action of the State Body, officially incorporated the undertaking as St. Peter’s College, Jersey C ity, N ew Jersey, and through that name the Jesuit Institution enjoys all rights and privileges of perpetual succession as accorded and conferred by the statutes concerning corporations. The act itself empowered the said corporation, St. Peter’s College, w ith the legal and specific privilege of granting proper degrees in the arts, sciences, law, literature, and medicine, upon graduates of the said College. The college also reserved the right to exercise all the prerogatives and functions of a University.

Died March 30th, 1929

FTER a lingering illness of three weeks, Father Fleming- passed from our m idst, blessed w ith the consolations of the church and comforted by the prayers of those who knew and loved him.

A lthough we realize that his is the better lot, we cannot restrain the feelings which his death has aroused in us. As Freshmen at the Prep, we learned to appreciate his energetic efforts as Prefect of Studies and to love him for the priestly kindness that was always his chief characteristic. In Sophomore year, his duties as Treasurer called him from frequent con足 tact with us, but he will never lose the conspicuous place he occupies in our memory of first year at the Prep. R. I. P.

s i N 1875, despite the fact th at the C hurch was yet burdened w ith debt, Father * I McQuaid set out to procure the funds requisite for the erection of the new College. ) Success crowned his efforts. A house to house canvass was conducted throughout the Parish, then, on May 25th, 1877, the first stakes were driven, and on July 15th, the R ight Rev. Bishop Michael Corrigan arrived in Jersey C ity to lay the cornerstone. The ceremony proper commenced w ith Benediction in the new St. Peter’s Church, after which the entire congregation accompanied the Bishop to the site of the founda tion. The O rator of the occasion affirmed th at the influence of the new College would advantageously concern itself w ith the intellectual life of New Jersey. Truly, he had prophesied the actual station which St. Peter’s eventually has attained in the educational ranks of the entire State, to say naught of the potent influence it exercises in Jersey C ity particularly.

Loyalty to his friends distinguishes him ; he is equally eminent for his good nature and generosity; and the aggregation of these qualities is a character which indicates a surely des tined leader.

T'VURING his sojourn at Saint Peter’s Henry has displayed all the talents and qualities of a scholar. His success is the result of faithful study, often at the sacrifice of transient pleasures; and that sound sense of his, with which we are so familiar, has placed him on the pin nacle he now occupies. His reliable auth ority has often been sought whenever a stiff passage in Latin or Greek or a hard problem in Trig occurred. Hi.s loyalty to the Prep is unexcelled. He has not only been an ardent rooter at all Petrean ath letic activities but has also given his suoport to every other event at Saint Peter’s. Although we do not know at what col lege Henry will matriculate we do know that Saint Peter’s loss will be some col lege’s gain.

At will, he could vanquish opposition and brush away by his flowing speech, every obstacle that loomed in his path. All fell before him like wheat before a reaper. Displaying a happy and jovial nature he won the hearts of his fellow students as everlasting friends. Doffing the “Maroon”, donning the “Violet”, he will matriculate at N. Y. U„ where we can predict nothing but suc cess. Farewell, “Boz” !

“K n o w led g e is p o w er.”

“T o be tender m inded does not become a sw o rd .”

“ A MAN who knows two languages ^ is worth two men.” From this premise we can justly infer that a man who knows three tongues is as competent and as valuable as three other individuals. W e apply this reasoning to John. Greek, Latin and English are listed among his successes. Zenophon’s riddles have failed to cool his ambition or impede his onward march. In John’s case, Cicero’s attempt to give the student much worry, by in volved sentences, has been frustrated. From the assurance that an honored stud ent is usually a leader in life, we confi dently expect this possessor of first testi monials to become a prominent figure amone St. Peter’s alumni.

TITH a feeling of fondness and con fidence we present a representative from the neighboring hamlet of Bayonne. From his freshman days “Red” has been a distinguished member of our class. P re cision and ambition combined with a pleasing countenance have endeared “Red” to the hearts of his classmates. A kind word and a helping hand are always characteristic of him, and this in our opinion, is a valuable asset. All we may say in conclusion is ; “May your success be great, ‘Red’, you deserve it.”

H EN Bill entered the rooms of St. Peter’s he was immediately drawn into a circle of friends. His earnest ef forts are exceeded only by hi.s sunny disposition. Then too, Bill does not for get his physical exercise. Each after noon finds him tossing around the ball to keep in the proverbial “Pink”, and, but for an injury to his eyes, Bill would cer tainly have represented St. Peter’s on the gridiron. Nevertheless, his whole hearted support was never lacking in any school activity. Bill has not announced whither he will turn the forces of his genius. But in bidding you “Adios”, Bill, we know you cannot avoid success if you continue the remarkable work you have accomplished at St. Peter’s.

When the final curtain falls on W alter’s scholastic career he intends to matriculate at Holy Cross, Next September we hope to see W alter enjoying the same .success at college that he had at St. Peter’s.

*OY does not remain forever. Our happy days of scholastic training have ended. Now that the final hours have flown into the realm of the past, we are most deeply impressed with the fact that the envied superiority of the senior is too quickly attained and is too quickly written in history. How lovely are those freshman days, as they pass by us now on the stage of m emory! How we should prize a return of those hours, if such a blessing could descend to u s ! But there is no repetition. We advance, however, solaced and guided by the traditions of this haven of our Youth. How consoling is the vision of the past, when the glare of the future is too blinding! How fondly we return, in spirit, to the rooms in which we wore the caps of freshm en! The happenings of that first year will ever be a source of pleasure to us. How “Bozo” O^Neill dis tinguished himself as an eraser pitcher; how “Don” Stewart appeared to be a bookworn on account of the many occasions when teachers advised him to cease his reading; how “Bill” Bartlett, “Bill” Howe and “Frank” Tomedy clambered up to heights, towering above all their classmates in scholastic success;—-these thoughts fill our memories as we review the drama, which our four years’ work has written. In September of nineteen hundred and twenty-six, we entered the ranks of the sophomores. A t the mention of the two terms of second year, the remembrance of Father Canning’s Latin themes makes us tremble yet. We still can see his beaming face and still can hear his ready tongue, pronouncing our fates, from the threshold of the classroom. We can yet feel Mr. Connelly’s missiles brushing our hair. The musical voice of Mr. Ricciardelli still rings in our ears with the famous password, “Transpose, combine and divide.” W hen February of nineteen hundred and twenty-seven dawned, the three batallions of 2A1, 2A3, and 2A5, were combined in two units in order to facilitate our success. Due to this change, Mr. O ’Brien was transferred to another group of struggling students. In the new formation, we faced such terrible foes as Caesar and Connell, having as our guides Messrs. Connelly and Connors. The 2B2 division celebrated its triumph over the foe by an outing to Connecticut on the day after school’s closing. When we entered the Science Hall, which was then reserved for the upper classes, our number was partly decreased but our formation was retained. 2B2 became 3A2, under the command of Generals Connors, Gampp and McNally. 2B1 was resolved into 3A1. with Father Travers and Mr. O ’Brien as majors.

('C o n tin u ed ) Truly, this year contained enough reverses. Our advance guard was scat tered by the shower of literary darts through which every junior must pass. Before the A ’s in our titles had become B’s about thirteen of our comrades were out of our ranks. 3A1 lost four men and its compatriots bade farewell to nine. Among the absent we fondly recall such fellows as “Charlie” Bisset; “Chis” Hurley and “Bob” Verdon. They have all accompanied us in spirit to our goal. John Flaherty, too, probably the most popular boy in the division of Mr. Connors, stricken with the misfortune of losing his father, joined the departed Peterites. W e may also say, in passing, that above all others who were with us, “Johnny” is the one for whose success we most ardently hope. The day, so anticipated from the late hours of January till the beginning of May, marked the debut of Messrs. McCabe and Muirhead into the world of danc ing. Messrs. M urphy and Mahoney proved to be quite skillful in the art of “tripping it on the light, fantastic toe.” Bender’s trial in the popular recreation was a pitiable disaster but it was inspiring to observe how he retired from the scene of defeat, solacing himself with the by-word, “It won’t be long now.” The pleasures of this day spurred us on to fight for victory over the foes, whom we had “beaten to the pit” and who were preparing for one last decisive struggle. Memory of the gentle ones, who had smiled upon us certainly rendered our outing scholastically beneficial. Cheered on by our generals, we superbly crushed the cohorts of the enemy and passed on to the rich halls of the seniors. Fourth year, combining us into one division, called 4A, introduced us to the most skillful leader who ever directed our maneuvers— Father Schmitt. Messrs. Tomedy, Bowes and Howe as well as Bartlett swiftly rushed to the head of the column, leading the onslaught against Xenophon and Cicero. “Bozo” O ’Neil penned our title in the annals of the football squad, by earning the envied letter, “P .” Trigonometry, the newest offensive device of Wentworth, almost wrought serious havoc among us in February; but now, looking back upon those tiny troubles through the glass of memory, we sigh to think that they are gone. We have received the certificate, for which we have labored; we have concluded our course; we have passed from the classrooms of our “Alma M ater” into the ranks of her Alumni. This, briefly is our history—the little tale, which will gladden our hearts when' the yoke of future cares is full upon us. May those, who follow us, tenderly accept the trust, which descends from our hands to theirs, and may they faith fully respect the “Alma M ater” whose care descends to them ; that is our final

S now we come to the end of our trail, it is fitting that we look back with joy as well as sorrow upon the years that have g'one before. Pray, kind reader, make the journey with us as we gaze into the crystal of the past. Some four years ago, a dazed band of freshmen in knee pants wandered into the spacious campus and went to various classes as Fr. Rector directed. From this gathering was moulded the class of ’29. O ur first commanders were Mr. Connors S. J., Mr. Sweeney and Mr. Ricciardelli. Mr. Connors gave us our first insight into the beauties of the Latin tongue, while Mr. Sweeney tried to instill into1us a liking for good English Literature. Finally, Mr. Ricciardelli initiated us into the mysteries of Algebra. As the year rolled on, there silently but imperceptibly sprung up amongst us that undying friendship that was to be cherished for all our days at St. Peter’s. The crowning achievement of this brilliant gathering was the successful production of two Latin plays, one a comedy, the other, an excerpt from ancient mythology. U nder the able tutelage of Mr. Connors, we were taught our lines, and how to speak them. W e feel sure that this early practice gave us the easy facility in the Latin language, which we now enjoy. As a fitting climax to our initial year, a delightful outing in conjunction with l-B-2 was held at Manhattan Beach. Coming back after the vacation we again swarmed into the yard, but now feeling an innate sense of superiority to the new freshmen. In the assignment of classes we found to our sorrow that the relative merits of Greek and Science had irrevocably separated our class. Notwithstanding, after our allocation, we buckled down to work. To guide us through the vicissitudes of Second Year, Fr. Prefect had assigned for us, Mr. Connors S. J., Mr. Mainzer, Mr. Ricciardelli, and Mr. Sullivan. Mr. Connors was again our guide in Latin, showing us the way through Gaul, while Mr. Ricciardelli took up the threads of our learning in Algebra where they had been severed the year before. Mr. Mainzer was our new English teacher and Mr. Sullivan was our instructor in the rudiments of our chosen Science. In this year appeared the embryonic signs of our budding athletic genius. Although “Eunie” Mann was a member of the squad during his first year at the Prep, it was not until the fall of ’26 that his real ability as a ball-toter was brought to light. In another line of athletic endeavor, our class again reigned supreme. The class basket-ball team, ably captained by “Jim” Shanahan, emerged far in advance of the other classes of the Junior Section in the Annual Inter-class Tournament. Again that year, our class outing, one that will linger in our minds for many years, was a hu^e success.

(■C ontinued ) We roused ourselves once again from the lethargy of Summer, and under the guidance of Fr. Smith, Mr. Orthen, and Mr. Guterl we took up the work of excavating the city of “Learning”. To our joy wre had a new abode for the ensuing year. W e now entered upon the third lap of our journey in the newly acquired Science Hall. Mr. Onthen was assigned to endure with us the boasting of Cicero. Pfc Smith gave us a deeper insight into the workings-of this world of ours, while Mr. Guterl trained our minds to logical reasoning by the study of Geometry. The athletic prowess that was budding in second year, now burst into its full glory. To the championship football team we gave the assistance of “Eunie” Mann, “Sonny” Grant and “Vin” Broderick. In basket-ball we again showed our mettle. The class team of 3-B-4, this time captained by “Eddie” Annette, not only defeated every representative team of the Senior section, but also the Junior win ners for the Championship of the School. And then as we approached the end of our third year at the Prep, we looked back with no' regret for our past records, and awaited the call to the Senior class with anxious hearts. The fourth and last year in the history of the class of ’29 has been one of incessant labor and little rest. Being Seniors we decided that there should be some badge befitting and denoting our rank and we finally selected a ring to keep as a token of our graduation. To say a word about our scholastic tasks, Fr. Collins demonstrated to' us the laws of Chemistry and the truths of Trigonometry and Mr. O ’Connor S. L was our mentor in Latin and English. As before, the class was preeminently conspicuous in Prep athletics. Football, basket-ball and baseball, each received our loyal support both as to the teams and attendance at the various games. And now the day of departure as well as the day of triumph has arrived. We stand at the parting of the ways. Each of us will go his way and, fortified by the training we received at the Prep, we will conquer. And as a parting word let us say. “To all Prefects and Teachers, we are forever indebted for your sympathetic assistance and the noble standards you have set before us.”

F IR S T C L A S S D A Y A PPROXIM ATELY one year after the laying of the cornerstone, the final stone s~ t A l was added to the new edifice. The work of interior decorating being completed, ^ the building was ready for occupation by the Fathers on May 1st, 1878. On June 18 th and 19th the college doors were throw n open for public inspection. On each day the crowds promenaded up G rand Street, the tree-fronted avenue offering relief from the rays of the hot summer sun. Horse-drawn vehicles of every description rolled up to the doors of the College; high plug hats, frock coats, leg o’ m utton sleeves, hoop-skirts and parasols were predom inant features of attire on th at gala day. Thus, in their Sun day best, the inhabitants of Hudson C ounty turned out to view th at fore-runner of higher education in Jersey C ity, the new St. Peter’s College. Hope ran high in the breasts of these Jesuit pioneers for success in their enter prise. A few days after, the Fathers announced th at enrollment of students would commence on Sept. 2, 1878. A t last the future loomed brightly. O n enrollm ent day, one hundred and three students were present,^»the first and original Freshmen to attend the school we all know so well as "The Prep.” We can easily picture the joyful elation of the Jesuit Fathers at this response to their call. The Freshmen entered w hat is now Senior H all on Grand Street, between Van Vorst and W arren Streets, full of the exuberance th at characterizes any Freshman class. "Long live St. Peter’s and the Class of ’84.” A dream had come true.

' EBRU A RY found us about to draw the curtain upon a triumphant achieve ment of duty, scholastic and otherwise, and the close of a brilliant career. Fortune smiled softly as we stood within the sacred portals of our beloved Alma Mater. Yet she knows not the regret that fills our hearts as she finally beckons. W ith the dropping of this curtain, we awake to find the light of a new day, the dawn that was tomorrow. It presents a new aspect in life, steeped with re sponsibility, and like the thud of thunder, we realize that with these last days at St. Peter’s pass the happy and light-hearted manners of youth and in return we are given the troublesome burdens of manhood. Thus we go forth with conudence in our past successes; some, with greater scholastic ^mbitior.s, others, merely endeavoring to fulfill the requirements of life. “E d” Gordon and “Bili” Coleman upheld the traditions of the class bv their untiring efforts on the gridiron, while “Skippy” McLaughlin earned a place with the Prep basket-ball squad, being elected to the captaincy by the earnestness and accuracy with which he performed. “Jack” McGeady displayed fine executive ability as manager of the football team. “Danny” Eck, “Jim ” Hartnett, “Ed” Keresy and “Charlie” Schwartz, honestly and industriously endeavored to uphold the standard of the class in scholastic activities throughout the year. We take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to our professors for their earnest endeavors to ferry us over the sea of knowledge and we can assure them that our gratitude will outlast this vear.

H E onrushing tide of time, and our own laborious efforts have carried us to the port of success. We are now finishing our voyage and leaving St. Peter’s, but not without a touch of sorrow. How well do we realize the joy that has been ours in these halls, and that life now assumes a sterner and more serious aspect. But the all-conquering confidence of youth is ours, and so with high hope and expectation we go forth. The class of 4-A is well represented in the various activities of the school. Football took O ’Neill, Ryan and Grant; Bartlett and Murphy distinguished them selves as debaters, while Beach and Bartlett elicited just praise for their splendid work in dramatics. Among those who worked to perfect this book, T h e P e t r e a n , are found Howe, Mooney, Ansbro, Bender and Bartlett. And in closing, we wish here to express our most sincere appreciation to our professors for their untiring efforts in our behalf.

tF w

The class is well represented athletically. On the gridiron, we boost of such distinguished personages as Captain “Eunie” Mann, “Vin” Broderick, “Joe” Holsey, George Patterson and “Mickey” Kelleher. “Vin” Fitzgerald upheld the pride of 4-B on the basketball court. Incidentally, the basket-ball team may well look up to “Eddie” Annette as a most capable and efficient manager. Aspirants for journalistic accomplishments abound in 4-B. Joe Braun has been appointed Editor-in-Chief of T h e P e t r e a n ; “Bill” W aters, George Schwab and George Patterson are among the Associate E ditors; “Clem” Arlinghaus, Assist ant Business M anager; “Fred” Jacques, Advertising Manager, and “Eunie” Mann, Circulation Manager. During the past year the class hours have never attained a gloomy or monot onous aspect, for we have many budding comedians and humorists in our midst. “Chris” Kelly is continually overflowing with a high tide of witty remarks, “Jack” Savage always engages in humorous rejoinders and we still await the day when “Fred” Jacques will entertain a serious thought. We now take this opportunity to express our deepest appreciation and whole hearted thanks to the members of the faculty who are so diligently striving to instill in us a knowledge and desire for bigger and better things.

H E quality of humor is not strained, but falleth as the gentle rain from Heaven, upon Class 3-M. An air of cheerful optimism pervades the students to that degree, that neither the stern voice of Authority, nor the threatening insinuations of professors can, for any length of time, ruffle their feelings. This, coupled with an innate sense of superiority, which the Junior year brings, serves to make a sojourn among them, an object lesson in High School phsychology. In purely Herculean occupations, the Class is above all others, and is, to show the only French one knows, “le tout ensemble” of the football team. For the attainment of scholastic averages, we adopt the thoroughly Christian sentiment of trusting in God. But that is not to say that we do not apply our selves to our duties, for any imputation to the contrary, Would be heresy against the most sacred traditions of the Prep. x\nd thus we go on, looking to the future and hoping for the best, and saying to our maestro, every day, “We didn’t have that, Mister.”

H E goal is in sig h t! W e have now reached the third rung of the ladder of success which leads to graduation. Early last September we gathered together to greet the teachers assigned to guide us through the ensuing year. A t our first meeting, officers were elected, and it was decided to have a class football team. Incidentally, the football team had a very successful season, losing but one game. A t our next meeting, John Carroll was elected basket-ball manager and plans for the basket-ball season were discussed. The prospects for a championship team are exceedingly bright. We are well represented in the Beaudevin Debating Society by several distin uished orators. We know that all the members of the class will uphold the honor and glory of Saint Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in whatever path of life they may choose to walk.

/'"SEPTEM B ER meant for this, as for all other classes embarking on the third stage of their “higher learning voyage,’" the proverbial parting of the w ays; namely, the separating of a formerly uniform body of students into the fol lowers of the respective tongues of France and Spain. That the class football team won two games out of three, however, confirms the belief that the class spirit has remained unaltered by such a separation. The celeritv with which the sands of the first semester have trickled through the glass, remind us that it will next be our turn to play the role of Seniors. In view of this, we heartily encourage them to “carry on” into the world the Prep, spirit. The man who first remarked, “tempus fugit,” was not dumb.

T has been truly said that time and tide wait for no man. To vindicate the old proverb, our good ship, sailing the turbulent waters of education, can stand paramount as a proof. In our freshman year at St. Peter’s we em barked upon a trim ship, primed and manned for a worth}'' voyage. Many times it has tossed and rolled, threatened by the monstrous waves of study, but being a good ship, and directed by such capable officers, she proudly rode the crest of the waves after the storm, undaunted in her purpose. Three voyages have' been undertaken and three are completed. Many of the crew have been overcome by the crushing waves but still she is manned by a worthy force. There is but one more voyage for our glorious ship, and then she will be of a by-gone day. This last voyage is meant to be the greatest of all, a quest for higher knowledge. On our third voyage of education, our good ship 3-C was commanded and guided o’er the unknown waters by the never faltering hands of our capable teachers. And to those, who have given unsparingly of their time and energy that we might go forth into the world men, true to God, to home and country, we extend our heartfelt and sincere appreciation of their work, and a wish for their continued success in all their endeavors.

The boat welcoming us had on it such notables as, the Reverend Father Smith, leaning on a lever; Mr. Higgins and dear friend Senor Espafiol; Mr. Guterl with his invenÂ tion, Geometry; Mr. Mclnerney talking to Cicero and O vid; and last but not least, Mr. Timney and his English book. W e were most cordially greeted and feted. W ith Cicero as toastmaster we had a most enjoyable time. Ovid told us the tales of Cadmus and Daedalus. Mr. Timney demonstrated his powers in English; Father Smith and his lever gave a series of tricks and riddles, which we in time solved, but not without difficulty. Senor Espanol talked in his native tongue and then gave us lessons in Spanish. Mr. Guterl showed and described his new invention to us, till we knew it by heart.

The first official business transacted by the class was the election of the officers mentioned above. The class football team had a successful season, winning all its games, and the high spot of the schedule was the defeat of 3-B at W est Side Park. We hold bright hopes for the basketball championship of 1929. Although we have lost one member of last year’s team we have a few new classmates among us who show great promise. The class is well represented in Prep Athletics, having four of its members on the three different squads and an assistant manager. W e also' have the champion heavyweight of the school (360 lbs.). Quite a few of our classmen are gaining prominence as orators, being members of the Mulry Debating Society.

H E N , on that fateful day in September, we returned to school after a wonderful vacation, our hearts were pounding in our bosoms and we felt very nervous; yet none of us regretted that schooldays in St. Peter’s had once more begun. Since that time we have become fast friends and are proud of our class. We greatly regret the time when we must part. Under the leadership of Father Gampp we have made considerable progress in Caesar’s Gallic W ar, and in the network of Algebra. Mr. Kenelly tutors us in Eng lish; Mr. Wall does likewise in history. In basketball we have not made much progress as yet. However, we have an abundance of material on hand and expect to advance accordingly.

N returning to school in September we, thirty-seven strong, found that we were to continue our studies in the Science Hall. O ur class was very for tunate to secure the Messrs. Briody, Fisher, McInerney and McNally to guide us through the course of studies, and on this occasion we wish to thank them for their labors in our behalf. Our class was represented on the football squad by Joseph McGeady our President. We had also several of the class in the Mulry Debating Society which Joseph McGeady headed as Vice-President. Class 2-C had the honor of leading the other classes in the drive for the school for Father O ’Neill. The class anticipates a successful basketball season and hopes for a like base ball season. Now as we glide on to the completion of our second year of classical education, we momentarily cease our anxious pursuit of information, and growing reminiscent, turn our thoughts back to our class of once absolute strangers that soon, however, showed symptoms of an inherent spirit of brotherhood and zeal as Peterites. Companionship and the common pursuit of our interlaced interests, have more and more welded acquaintanceship into a strong band of friendship. W e also take this opportuity to extend to the Class of 1929 our heartiest congratulations and wish them everv success in future undertakings.

kE began our second year at St. Peter’s Prep on September 12, 1928. Excellent teachers were assigned to us, and we feel that most of our success is due to them. A week after school opened 2-D organized by electing Class Officers and holding meetings at least once a week to dis cuss various improvements for the class. W arren Hurley was elected president. James Casey /the vice-president who is a very capableleader, waselected by a greatmajority. In his talks, he usually suggests the differentamusementswhich the class holds weekly. Thomas Hayes was elected class treasurer and Francis Farrell, secretary. Thomas Harney was elected captain of the basketball team. H e made a good start by inquiring for the basketball players and taking their names and announcing the meetings. Due to his splendid advice the class turned out a very good team. W arren Hurley and James Casey planned to start the baseball season early, and get the team in shape. There seem to be quite a few promising players in the class. John Delaney of 2-D is with the debating society and has taken part in a few debates, making a very creditable showing. John Deck undoubtedly the brightest scholar in our midst is showing the way in studies with Thomas Hayes a close second.

Although we are not all stars in scholarship we are wellrepresented in prac tically every branch of student activity. In sports we are represented by John Con roy in baseball and football, by “Ben” Geraghty in baseball and basketball and by “Frank” Coughlin and “Lite” Leightmeyer on the track squad. In dramatics we have “Frank” Coughlin and “Jim” Clark who distinguished themselves by making the finals in the elocution contest, The Sodality and “Iv. B.

During second term we pursued our course under the skillful supervision of Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Doherty and Mr. McNally. Sometime in the near future we hope the midyear class of “32” will be envied by all others and its laurels sung far and wide.

N September 12, 1928, thirty-eight boys, new arrivals at St. Peters High T \J)JT School, were formed into Class 1-A. A fter hearing Father Davey’s opening talk to the entire student body, they were directed to Room 23 in the Junior Building. Here they soon found themselves engrossed in the first lessons of their new studies. Here they became acquainted with the intricacies of the first lessons in D ’Ooge’s Latin Grammar, the general principles of algebra, the history of the Ancient Peoples, English sentence structure and Christian Doc trine, This new work, quite dissimilar from what they had in Grammar School, at first seemed hard. But they found, that with earnest study and close attention to their instructors, the matter presented no difficulties. . Mr. Rooney S. J. and Mr. Kennelly are our professors. Christian Doctrine, Latin and English are taught us by Mr. Rooney, Algebra and History by Mr. Ken nelly. Under the excellent tutelage of each, the class, as a whole, has made great progress in studies. So far this year the class has not been represented on a school athletic team. But the strength of many of its members shows potential athletes, and St. Peter’s should be well represented in athletic competition in the years to come. On February 5, 1929 the class was moved from Room 23 to Room 36 on the third floor of the Junior Building. This change was made necessary because of the noise and the clatter of the heavy traffic on Grand and W arren Streets, this noise being a source of annoyance during class recitations. The boys at first did not like the change, as their first connection with the school, its methods, and activi ties was made in room 23, but they soon became reconciled to the change and now are well pleased with their new quarters.

A ST September, after our class was arranged, we became businesslike and elected the above officers. Mr. Maloney organized a basket-ball team. We practiced awhile and played a few games at the W hittier House, but went down to defeat in all but one of them. The outstanding figures were “Jack” Bonnell and “Tommy” Toucher. A football team was organized by Mr. Toucher. It played quite well. Now we must forget athletics for a while. We buckled down to hard study and are managing to make a fair average. We do wish to express, too, our most sincere thanks to our teachers for the efficient way they have worked to keep us above passing mark. Then a great calamity happened. Our beloved classmate J. Patrick Corley left us for other regions.- We were sorry to miss such a good fellow as he, but fate must take its course. It is with pride that Class 1-C is able to say that it has had good attendance at all Sodality meetings and that it receives with the K.B.S. every week. All religious ceremonies are usually well attended by our class. We are proud to be Prepsters and we intend to keep its good name by correct behavior, and to try for all the laurels permissible, gaining as many as possible, while at St. Peter’s.

In passing we would like to know : Who uses Mr. O ’Brien’s spare tire to blow up the basketball? When Dullea’s Revised Latin Grammar with the Latin “makeups” will be published ? How Dabro’s sudden wavy tresses held the class spellbound for a period of Latin ?

[H EN the scholastic year of 1928 started, the members of the freshman class journeyed to St. Peter’s, each thinking that he might become a modern Cicero, or Horace. But on arriving at St. Peter’s we immedi ately acquired a knowledge, which is more noble than that of which the pagan authors im part; namely, to become a Catholic gentleman. Thirty-five freshmen, unknown to each other, answered the call of the Rev erend Rector and were designated to be the nucleus of freshman “F .” On arriving at this class, we found we were to have Mr. Collins and Mr. Hull, under whose care we were to be moulded into men of St. Peter’s. A fter a few days, there sprang up amongst us that friendship which can only come to men who have imbibed that famed spirit of St. Peter’s—devotion and love for Alma Mater. No game was played on the gridiron or basket-ball court, but this class was represented one hundred per cent. As time went on, we deemed it fit and worthy to give the toga of leadership to four students, who with the aid of our professors should lead us on to nothing but the brightest future, and aid us to bring to St. Peter’s that renown for which her past sons so nobly strove. The renown which St. Peter’s has had in the past is well known to the class of 1-F. And being well aware that it will be necessary for us to exert ourselves to the limit of our ability, we will work diligently for success.

/" V 'O r lE R E was no distinction between the Preparatory and College proper in the / early days of Saint Peter’s. Thus, in 1882, no formal graduation from the "Prep” was held. The class merely passed to the study of Philosophy in the succeeding year. But when the classes were resumed in th at sad year the students were informed th at there was to be no class in Philosophy. Consequently, the enrollment dropped from one hundred and forty-eight to eighty-three students. Disheartened but not discouraged, the Fathers labored zealously and achieved their trium ph in 1889 when the first graduates mounted the platform to receive their degrees from Rev. Father Rector. In successive years two other classes were graduated, and the Fathers were justified in their belief that Saint Peter’s had attained a sure footing. B ut again years of sorrow followed. U ntil 1904, only the classes of ’89, ’91, ’96, ’97 and ’02 had the privilege of gaining degrees from the college. W ith the advent of Father Patrick M. Collins, S. J., Prefect of Studies, a new life came to the college. The parents of the only tw o pupils in the graduating class of one year threatened to withdraw their boys. But Father Collins was determined to have an uncreasing line of gradua tions, and he won the day: the two boys remained.

BURST of loyalty manifested itself among the Alumni in 1905. The past _ had m any successes, b u t many more failures. U nder the leadership of Father Ziegler, the Alum ni were determined to organize, and to enkindle by their strength and numbers, a new spirit of devotion to their Alma Mater. They were anxÂ ious to do all in their power th at no year m ight henceforth pass w ithout a graduating class from the College. These men were united by the bonds of that unique love for St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s which is so prom inent among the virtues of her sons. Under the kindly guidance of the Fathers, their efforts were well directed and they were the joyful spectators of a Graduating Class on each succeeding year. Then, in the fortieth year of its life, the old College witnessed its last sad year. The W orld W ar had drawn many of the teaching Fathers into the ranks of Chaplains; the Faculty dwindled in num ber and the College doors were closed. Ten years have gone and, as yet, no hand has moved to open those doors again.

E R H A P S many of our Patrons and Subscribers have wondered what has caused the name of the Senior Annual to be changed to “The Petrean.” A short time after the staff for the Annual of the Class of ’29 was chosen, a brief meeting was held to decide whether or not the old name, “The Cephean,” should be retained. Although there seemed to lie apparently no op position to the retention of the old name, the vote of the members of the staff proved quite a surprise. Practically the entire staff favored a departure from the old name and the substitution in its stead, of “The Petrean.” The men who were chosen to publish The Petrean of 1929 and who have worked faithfully and earnestly to give St. Peter’s a representative year book are as follows:

-H E three Sodalities of O ur Lady are still, flourishing at St. Peter’s. This year, they are under the able guidance of Father Gampp S. J., the student counsellor, who devotes his labors to the Senior Sodality. The activities of the Intermediate Section are conducted by Mr. O ’Connor S. J., while those of the Junior are under the leadership of Mr. Rooney S. J. The strength of this religious movement is clearly demonstrated when placed under a test of fire. One of these tests lies in the Knights of the Blessed Sacra ment Crusade. It is an inspiring sight to behold the many loyal enthusiasts who gather at the Holy Table on Friday mornings. The movement is under way to' raise a fund for our “adopted” Fr. O ’Neill of the Jesuit Mission at Mindanao, Phillippine Islands, and has been received with unanimous accord. The untiring efforts of our Director and several loyal Sodalists are being devoted to this worthy cause and we look forward to success.

This idea had its inception in the Class of ’28, and proved to- be more popular than the former method of choosing a single Senior Executive. The Council is composed of nine Seniors, three from each division of Fourth Year. These men were chosen in accordance with their ability, foresight, and popularity, and have been entrusted with the responsibilities which devolve upon the graduating class. The representatives of the February Grads are: James J. H artnett, Edward F. Jennings, and Danield F. Eck. John J. Ansbro1, William C. Bartlett, and Hugh J.

-^HLS year the members of the Beaudevin Debating Society are again for^ # tunate in having as moderator, Mr. J o h n J . O ’Connor S. J. During the fa j f Past year the Senior Debating Society has enjoyed unusual success under his able tutelage and this year we look forward to an equally successful year. Early in the year we were impressed with the force of the truth that as Catholic students we have a special duty and an obligation to be sowers of the seed of truth in a soil where the weeds of error have made such inroads and grown so high. Furthermore we learned as the year went on that as Catholics we were laboringunder a material handicap in this land of ours—-that we had reason to expect no favors, not to speak of fair play. Therefore, we were under the necessity of per fecting ourselves, of equipping ourselves in a special manner if we would hope to compete on even terms with others. W ith this thought ever in mind we have given ourselves over enthusiastically to the task of developing power in oral expression and we are determined that the work we have so far done, small though it may be, shall mark but the begin ning of a task we have set out to accomplish—<the perfecting of ourselves to be apostles of the truth among men. We were deeply grieved at the loss of our President-elect, James McCormack, who early in the year was forced, because of ill health, to withdraw from school. We take this opportunity to express our wishes and to promise our prayers for his success and early return. P re sid e n t......................................................... J a m e s H.

E, of First and Second Years, who' availed ourselves of the opportunities for advancement in the A rt of Public Speaking, afforded us in the Mulry Debating Society, found ourselves amply rewarded by the train ing and experience we received. Especially noteworthy during the past year was the enthusiasm manifested by the First Year boys; a happy portent of excellent oratorical endeavor in their future years at St. Peter’s. During the First Semester, a debate with Senior Debating Society on the Baumes Law was staged before the entire school. The debate was a very close one, and though the decision was given to the Seniors, our representatives contested every inch of ground. The Rebuttal, the real test of a debater’s skill, was particularly, vigorous and fiery, the boys even eclipsing the oratorical skill shown in their main speeches. We feel confident that all of us who have availed ourselves of our opportunities in the Mulry Debating Society during the past year have secured a treasure of great price—the power to express our thoughts clearly and forcibly before our fellows. And with such a treasure polished and perfected during the remaining years of our High School course we shall be able to go forth, true, worthy products of our Alma Mater, competent to show before men in a real, tangible way the results of Jesuit culture and training.

satisfy curiosity for the new, to strengthen respect for the past, our Library on W arren Street fulfills its purpose. Because we are too in experienced and not thoroughly informed as yet to have fashioned any profound or lasting convictions, we are content to mould ideals from the labors and experience of heroes of the past . The world of books is our tame but necessary substitute for the lusty energetic actual. W e can not enjoy the perils of the Sahara with Johnson in Africa, nor the awful Anarctic waste with Byrd. Ours is a vicarious adventure. Our search for knowledge and power is with the leaders, the statesmen, the reformers, and the authors of the centuries. Hence the triumphs of an Alexander, the vision of a Charlemagne, the efforts of an O ’Connell or a Lincoln, the sorrows and triumphs of a Newman—all these priceless treasures are ours. And quiet reflection on their labors and quest for truth makes us sympathetic and strong. We remember the ideals of Moreno, of Abbe Vainney and pick from them the threads that are weaving for us a pattern which will remain with us forever unto good. To help us in this arduous and interesting task we have an efficient Library corps headed by Vincent F. Minon, ’28. Other members of the staff are: Joseph McGurr, Eugene Burke, W alter Deiss, Paul Mallon, W ilfred Vermette, John Mooney, and James O ’Hara.

The first floor of the building is the reading room. Here, near the trophies won by Prep teams, the student finds his favorite weekly or monthly magazine. The upper classmen favor American Current History and the “Digest.” The Sat urday Post, Boy’s Life, St. Nicholas, Radioi News, and Travel have captured the fancy of the younger boys. The second floor is the reference room where encyclopedias, dictionaries, the sauri, and historical works are found. The oratory cabinet is most frequently used. Poetry somehow is not patronized as it should be. In line with current taste, biographies are eagerly read, and the Moderator hopes to enlarge in the near fu ture, this tempting corner of the reference room. Fiction of course makes sixty per cent, of our circulation. The third floor is crowded, and demands for adventure and mystery stories keep the librarians busy. Some three to four hundred works have been added and, in a short time our fiction department will rival that of any private institution.

A capable performance worthy of the high standard set up in the past was quite possible. A host of amateur veterans was still with us, and tragedy presented a wonderful field to display hidden talent. Morover, as classical students, we are mining the nuggets of Roman language. We traced her government and civiliz足 ing influence on Europe and Asia in the history of the classics. The military ex足 ploits of Caesar we saw in second year. We were present in imagination with the Roman legion pounding northwards on the stone road they built into Gaul. And we studied the political crisis leading to the disaster of 44 B. C., when Cicero unfolded the Catilinian Conspiracy and its sequel which forced the tottering Gov足 ernment to look for another Mussolini to save her. Hence, with such a background, the members of the Dramatic Society began their task optimistically and cour足 ageously.

(■Continued) The directors of the play Messrs. Timney and King (who are well known for their successful annual presentation of Veronica’s Veil,) called for rehearsals, after the Christmas holidays had speedily run to a close. The temporary cast and its understudies attended rehearsals with interest. The lowly Roman mob, so es sential to the play, had many members who showed no little eagerness to master

every petty detail. The graceful art of stabbing and falling was enthusiastically learned. No effort was spared by the directors or the cast to acquaint themselves with the true nature of the play. Finally, on the afternoon of Feb. 9th, the test and reward of the arduous training came with the dress rehearsal. Even greater glory awaited the players on the evening of Monday, the eleventh, when a large audience of parents, friends and well-wishers of St. Peters Prep at the Majestic Theatre watched Caesar and his bodyguards of senators and soldiers pressing through the Roman Populace. Then as the action advanced, boastful petty Caesar and crafty Cassius were foils for the serene noble Brutus. Genuine applause greeted Antony, the fiery color ful adventurer, who could ever win hearts to his course when he so desired. Jaunty

(Continued) Casca who always was ready for the fray, and the prophetic sooth-sayer were thoroughly in the spirit of the plot. Inspired by the intense oratory of Antony, the mob rewarded their freinds with excellent pantomine. If doubts ever clouded the minds of some that High School students were unable to give anything more than a mediocre interpretation of this great play, this evening’s performance soon dispelled all fear and changed it into hearty praise. A t least, when bows were taken at the final curtain a storm of plaudits seemed a fair index of the judgment passed on the players’ worth. Individual merit appeared so equal in several characters that it was not easy to discriminate, and hence no single prize of worth was awarded. The entire cast collectively contributed its share of splendid labor to make the play a success. The spectators were tense because each actor has grasped the situation well. Caesar relived his ghost and haunted the Majestic. The hushed awe at Caesar’s m urder was a silent witness to splendid acting just as were pity and respect for dead Brutus at Philippi. Patriotism more profound than his can scarcely be found. H is tragic words, “ Not that I loved Caesar less but that I loved Rome more,” sim mers in the brain until love and admiration are born for the man whose life is always as interesting and romantic as that other restless petrel Antony, his enemy panegyrist. In spite of all his wild days, Antony quietly confessed that his life was gentle, and the elements were so mixed in him that nature might stand up and say to all the world, “this was a man.”

✓Y N 1898 a football game between St. Peter’s and Dickinson inaugurated w hat even" I tually proved to be an annual classic, which would a ttra c t thousands of spectators / to the Jersey C ity ball park every Thanksgiving Day. But in those distant days of the last century, the game was merely a struggle in an open field before a group of ap proximately tw enty spectators, including the substitutes and mascots of both teams. Grandstands were unknow n; the crowd travelled in the direction of the teams. And a very im partial crowd it was. In whatever direction either team carried the ball, thither w ent the crowd. W hat a far cry it is to these days, when one m ust remain submerged in a sea of people on the grandstands! In the old days, the methods of formation, ball-carrying and tackling were very natural, but they were not scientific. Eleven giants faced as many other giants on the opposing side and matched muscle against muscle. When a man was caught by the neck and throw n to the ground, he was most fortunate if the entire opposing squad did not hurl itself on his limp form. Later, through the kindness of Mr. Joseph F. Moran, ’97, the two teams faced each other at the Jersey C ity Baseball Grounds. A noticeable increase of the crowds took place and it was also most evident, both from observation and the ticket sales, th at three-fourths of the joyful rooters had gained adm ittance by scaling the fences. Today, both schools regard the Thanksgiving game as the most im portant of the season. The Alumni and student body of St. Peter’s may tolerate a defeat at the hands of St. Benedict’s. A game lost to Lincoln is a m atter of regret that is soon dispelled; but th at final game m ust be won. For weeks in advance, there is one cry continually echoing in the ears of the Petrean squad: "BEAT D IC K IN SO N !”

This fact was obviously true, as evidenced by the relentless offensive and impregnable defense offered to our Blue and White rivals from Lincoln. In this game the Maroon clad troopers rushed, passed, and plunged to a 33 to 0 victory and thereby displayed a brand of championship football. “E d ” Gordon and Borelli featured in this game and insured themselves positions on many of the mythical sectional elevens. Throughout the season the Petrean line had been playing valiently, but the game with Mackenzie Prep, really brought this fact to light. The stalward Grand Streeters repulsed the heavier up-staters time and again with the uniform brilliancy of their performance. Meanwhile, the Petrean back-field was plowing through the openings with plenty of scoring punch, totaling two touchdowns and an extra point to rout the Terrors of Newburgh—a distinct accomplishment for our repre sentatives.

The St. Benedict’s game was the undoing of our Prep, championship hopes; again we outplayed our opponents, only to lose on “breaks”. The Gray Bees passing attack defeated our lads: They scored three touchdowns. The crucial game of the season with our traditional city rivals, Dickinson High, found the Maroon ball toters in the best of form. Thanksgiving morning dawned clear and fair; a beaming sun bathed the Jersey City Ball park; the crisp, balmy air was invigorating, conducive to zest and activity. A record-breaking crowd filled all the stands to capacity; always colorful, the historical football classic of ’28 surpassed its predecessors in gayety and anticipatory impatience. The crowd formed a perfect setting, surrounding the grassy field with a rainbow of color.

( Continued) The Maroon hosts of St. Peter’s rushed on the gridiron promptly at 10:15 A. M., and were heralded by a deafening roar of applause from the Petrean fans: following closely, came the olive-clad Dickinsonians, whose adherents raised another bedlam of sound.

The air was alive with excitement as the kickoff took place. The Prepsters rushed down under the punt and swung into the game with their characteristic intrepidity. The process of shredding the Hilltop line began immediately under the personal supervision of “Eddy” Gordon, the Maroon fullback. Under the incessant pounding, the Green and White weakened and Gordon plunged through for the initial touchdown. Not content with this accomplishment, our lads again forced the issue in the second period with “Poosh ’em up Tony” Borelli skirting ends and sliding through tackle for consistent gains, then completing his work by scoring another touchdown. The Dickinsonians left the field after the first half, downtrodden, physically and mentally. But during half time the Big Green team revived miraculously, for it was a scrappy squad indeed that returned to the fray.

(C ontinued) The second half opened and the Peterites were content to merely restrain the Hilltopers who were fighting desperately to avenge their early showing. But as the final quarter came around they weakened and again the Maroon attack began to function. A very well executed aerial attack with “Joey” Finucane on the receiving end, netted another touchdown for the Prep. Relentlessly, the Petreans pressed on, and again a touchdown was imminent, when, mericifully for Dickinson, the whistle blew. The mighty Hilltop was vanquished, and sorrowfully they treked from the field. The Petrean eleven sprinted from the scene, flushed with victorvc ■ i k w o t# b w u r m i w . ■ n m o ng- tnese players on 'the "bench was Captain “Eunie” Mann, whose leg injury prevented him from leading his men in a single game.

{Continued} ——.H E names of Borelli, Gordon, Finucane, Prisco, Boyle, Finnelli, Con& roy, Coleman, Broderick, Roth and Ryan all flashed through the “grid” ~ V limelight on different occasions. For who can deny the prowess and achievements of “Tony” Borelli? He was undoubtedly the most spectacular player in Hudson County during the past season.

“Eddie” Gordon’s feats speak for themselves. It is our opinion that “Eddy” was perhaps the best fullback ever turned out at our school. Think it over, boys! Petrean elevens have always boasted of stellar performers at the forward position, but we doubt if any excelled this year’s edition of Boyle and Finelli. “Bas” is undeniably one of the coolest players seen in New Jersey Scholastic circles. W ith “Les” Finelli flanking the other end of the line as an All-State selection, things speak for themselves. “Bill” Coleman gave as fine an exhibition of grit as any seen in these parts on Thanksgiving Day. Battered and bruished from the first period on, he played with sheer courage and finished the game. Roth played his position at guard so well that his fellow-players have elected him Captain for next season. He was strong as a wall on defense, quick as a flash on the offensive and has the uncanny ability of sensing the opponents’ next move. And boys, he dreams of football because he is always talking about it. Watch him lead his charges in September. Prisco had a most uncertain season. In early October his participation was wholly negligible, due to an injury to his shoulder. However, he took his medi-

But he received his reward in the SetOn Hall Prep game when he scored the lone touchdown by a brilliant end run. Again in the Dickinson game he showed his prowess by frequent and lengthy plunges through the line. Broderick, Conroy and Ryan proved to be a great asset to the team when an opening was needed for brilliant Gordon. Then again, on many occasions they stood with their toes on their own goal line and held the enemy for downs. Such are the stars that scintillated. But there were many other stars whose lustre we did not see because the opportunity seldom came to them to doff their sweaters and swing into the line. Among these players on the bench was Captain “Eunie” Mann, whose leg injury prevented him from leading his men in a single game. We are not merely dreaming when we state that our schedule would not have been marred by a defeat if Captain “Eunie” had been “in there calling them.” M r. an d M rs.

O U C H in brief, are the lights and shadows of the old College, but tu rn now from the tomb and rest your eyes on the Eastern slopes, for in the dawn we see th at a ^ / new m orning cometh, proclaiming the resurrection of St. Peter’s! No, they are not entirely gone— those days th at are no more— those days when St. Peter s was a power among Catholic Colleges. O ut of the arduous glories of the past and through the patient labor of the present, we await the coming day, and oui‘ hearts leap w ith joy at the prospect of a brilliant future. Lest you should think our joy comes from the "airy nothings” which youth is apt to call true, listen to the story of our hopes and be our fellow harbingers of joy in the new St. Peter’s College. O n Saturday, January 7th, 1927, Joseph F. Moran invited his fellow Alumni of the class of ’97 to a banquet. I t was an evening rich in pleasant reminiscence and anecdote; but w hat proved to be the real purpose of the meeting was brought to light by the stirring address of the Rev. Joseph F. Dolan, Pastor of St. V incent’s Church, Bayonne, N . J. Father Dolan repeated every detail of his recent interview w ith the Very Rev. Wlodimirus Ledochowski, General of the Jesuit Order. The object of this interview, Father Dolan stated, was the presentation of a plea for the reopening of St. Peter’s College. The Very Rev. Father General entered enthusiastically into the plans of the College A lum ni and assured Father Dolan that he would do everything in his power to bring about the fulfillm ent of this purpose. Thereupon, Rev. William Carlin took up the theme of Father Dolan’s message and gave a powerful view of the practical issues involved in this project. The idea of the College re-establishment was carried still further by the Rev. Joseph P. O ’Rielly, S. J. present R ector of St. Peter’s, when he stated that .Rev. Father General had al ready granted permission to place the College once again in the educational field. A new site is to be purchased and a greater edifice will be erected. O n Novembeer 27th, 1928, at the banquet in honor of the Fiftieth Anniversary of St. Peter’s College, the Alumni greeted w ith rounds of applause the latest develop ments in the history of their Alma Mater. They volunteered, to a man, to support Rev. Father Rector in this difficult enterprise. We, of the Class of ’29, find a note of sadness in the heart music of the College Alumni. ’Tis true; from these men we have learned how sweet is the rhythm of de votion to our Alma Mater. H er ancient glory is our treasure-house, wherein we place the security of a new and more stable glory. But alas, on this, the eve of her awaken ing, when she is about to stand again among the great institutions of education, we m ust take leave of her, and journey afar for the flowers of higher learning which our older brothers and our fathers delighted to pluck within her own blessed walls. O ur farewell, then, is mingled w ith this zealous prayer: May the walls of the new College speedily arise, th at those who follow us may remain to share in the new life of the College and discover fully for themselves why it is that the Alumni have such a deep-seated gratitude for the Old St. Peter’s College.

POSSESSION

URNING back the years was once a dream of fancy that th e miracle of printing has since made real. W hat but the printed page could perpetuate so vividly those days at school— days you will w ant to live again, and can, w ithin these very covers. Fleeting years will scatter your school day chums— classroom romances and campus gayeties m ay be forgotten— forgotten forever were it not that these pages have preserved im perish able those treasured memories of school day years. W hat a rich possession— Your Year Book. We take great pride in th e fact that it came from our printing plant. It is the production of th is kind of printing that brings to our organiza tion each year opportunities to serve many Schools and Colleges throughout the East.
