A t last the ray of hope, which has been faintly shining during the last ten years, has burst forth into its former brilliance with the announcement of the opening of the N ew College. N ow it is the duty of the loyal A lu m n i to help to raise it up to its former standards. The class of 1930 sincerely hopes that with God’s grace, the College will again stand forth with all of its former radiance to send out into the world, men, endowed with the Jesuit principles of loyalty and character.

dSoow ^ new Jesuit College will arise and grace the town of Jersey City. The Fathers of the Society of Jesus will once again receive Catholic youths from near and far into its fair portals and will en­ deavor to teach them the Christian ideals and principles. Em bark with us in your ship of jancy and try to imagine, as does our artist on the opposite page, the beautiful St. Peter s College as it really will be in a few years.

A complete and accurate knowledge of the most important phases of the arts, science and literature embodies the Jesuit system of training. W e have known kind and competent teachers dur足 ing our stay here at the H ig h School, and we are sure that in the new St. Peter s College we shall enjoy the train足 ing of professors, fully as proficient in their work and as understanding of human nature as those of our past four years.

Before us flows the river of L ife.

Everyone of us must embark sooner or later on this river w ith its hidden rocks and snags, always endangering our journey. To be good pilots we must be trained in our art and be ready for all emergencies, lying before us. A s we stand gazing down this broad stream, we trust that most of us will put off our sailing and linger beneath the loving arms of the reborn College, there to gain strength and courage for our journey in the future.

CLASS HISTORY-4A

r

H E early spring sun w as spreading its m orning cheer over the w orld , th row in g its colorfu l rays through the stained glass w in d o w s o f the debating hall, as I sat there one day tryin g to concentrate.

B u t in

a short w h ile, the w arm th of spring affected m e as it is know n to have affected , m any others.

M y pencil au tom atically dropped; I rested m y chin upon my

hands, and sat there th in k in g or rather dream ing o f the fou r glorious years that had ju st elapsed.

M y thou ghts passed over the vivid recollections of m y early days as a

prepster and recalled the happy days of m y career, w hen, suddenly, in the m idst of m y ecstasy I w as roused from m y dream s by the muffled sound of voices m ingled w ith frequent bursts o f lau ghter from outside the hall.

M y curiosity dem anded

satisfaction, and I rose d ogged ly from m y chair and passed outside.

T h e r e I saw a group of m y classm ates engaged in happy conversation. to m y conjecture, they w ere

T rue

talking of the jo y fu l experiences of their high school

years. A n d w h a t experiences! D a re I

m ention “ M y dear boys,” “W h o w as T a n g le ­

fo o t? ” “ D o you recall P etey or M a rcella and the m an w h o la u g h s? ” “D o you rem em ­ ber N ee d le -N o se , Barney, Jake, or our good friends, C harlie G um bash an d ^ M ik e H effancy ?”

W e w ere then but a group of gram m ar school boys, w h o had journeyed to St. P eter’s in our quest for learning.

Indeed w e had all our desires w e ll fulfilled w hen

w e w ere subjected to an avalanche of L atin , A lgeb ra and H isto ry that nearly knocked us cold.

I can still hear the w ord s “ C on ju gate A m o ,” “W h a t is the1 square of X ? ”

rin gin g from the m outh of M r . W a lla c e, w ho, as a stern but w ell-schooled skipper, guided us over the seas of learn ing in our first year.

H o w the w ord s “ F ou r co n ju ga­

tions, w ritten o u t,” “ju g for a w ee k ,” still resound in m y ears, as I picture the sm ile of our seem ingly heartless professor as he pronounced the w ord s of sentence. H is w a v y locks, straying slig h tly dow n over his forehead, caused us to see him as quite the village cut-up in his high school days. A nd w h a t a relief it w as to see our sm iling E n glish teacher, M r . M c N a lly , exercising his pedal extrem ities in the direction of our classroom . he threatened to

H e w as by far the best liked of our freshm an teachers even though relieve som e of us o f our le ft lo w er m olars or

paint our nasal pro­

tuberances w ith a crim son hue.

W h a t a short w h ile ago it w as w hen B ill R oehrenbeck and G eorge Sullivan leaped to the head of the class, and Joh n Sm ith distinguished him self as a m an am ong m en. It seem s on ly yesterday that W o jty c h a w as m arked absent only to be discov­ ered ten m inutes later under his desk, look in g for his books. W h a t happy days they w ere w hen w e had our freshm en basketball and baseball team s. W h a t a m em ory are those days w hen w e looked up to athletic stars as dem igods and w ere proud to say that one of our classm ates played on a prep team .

HoW w e shook at the thought

of a province exam . A n d all the tim e the jo y fu l hours of our freshm en year w ere flitting by, never to return. B u t w e w ere being m oulded into C atholic gentlem en under the hands of the capable and experienced Jesuits. Spring, the period of our freshness and greenness, passed, as in us the seeds of k n ow in g began to develop under the careful cultivation of our learned professors.

Cam e summ er, but n ot too soon for the freshies. In June, a happy crow d of freshm en le ft St. P eter’s, after attaining success in their first year.

W e gathered together in second year w ith a number from the other classes w ho w ere fortunate or unfortunate enough to take Greek. W e had lost a fewthrough the exam s, but the m ajority of the m issing had selected Science. T h en w e w ere in our glory; how w e rose above the lo w ly freshm en; how proudly w e sat in the senior building th e n ; w e ow ned the w orld . But, lo, it w as all short lived. T h e G reek rose before us like a tow erin g colossus, ready to crush us at any m oment.

Som e w eakened under the pressure, and le ft to seek shelter in science hall. B ut most of us remained in our misery. W h a t a life w hen w e were trying to master the G reek alphabet. H o w com m on w as the saying “W h y did I ever take G reek.” M r.

O ’S ullivan, fresh from H o ly Cross, tried, w ith his elongated w ords and flowery phrases, to persuade us that w e made no mistake in choosing the ancient language.

B u t his w ords w ere as chaff scattered before the w ind. So he decided not to waste his precious w ords any more, but to go ahead and teach. A nd how he taught! It w as not lon g before w e discovered that the beloved Bayonnite could hold his own w hen it came to expounding the intricacies o f H o m er’s favorite language. T r u ly w e had found a teacher w orthy of taking M r . W a lla c e’s place.

Strange as it seems, he had the very same weakness that our former teacher had.

“L u o tw ice, L u o three times, vocabulary once” echoed and reechoed throughout the room. W e w rote u n til w e had w ell developed muscles in our fingers. W earied w ith G reek, w e approached Caesar. H e held not the terrors for us that he held for the ancient nations, but w e soon learned w hy they feared him so greatly. R ight and left, w e fell under his first assault, and the utterance w as heard on all sides “O death, w here is thy stin g !” B u t M r . O ’Sullivan w as not the kind of a teacher to abandon his fallen troops. Instead, under his capable guidance, w e rose again.

Inspired anew , w e attacked once more, and it w as not lon g before w e were translating Caesar like veterans and reciting the G reek declensions w ith ease (as you see, w e w ere taught to use our im aginations a lso ).

O u r acquaintance w ith our n ew friends w as indeed a pleasure. M arty Sherry s w it came to the fore and his w ise sayings brightened m any an hour. G eorge Sullivan showed us w h y he w on the freshman medal by passing everything in sight, and he w ent so far into the lead that it w as impossible for anyone to catch him for the remainder of the year. A m idst our pleasure and hard w ork, w e did not notice the passing of time. Indeed this year w as more difficult than the form er but w e lost very few through the exams.

T h a t w as the year w hen w e m oulded the friendships that w ere to remain, our real friendships. H o w vivid are the m emories of the far corner of the lunchroom, w hat w ith the odor of hot dogs and hamburger one w ould think that food w as sold there. H o w unforgettable are the pleasures and joys of that sophomore year. But, quicker than speech, the year had traveled and w as now draw ing to a close. W e Rad budded and blossomed, w e had been fortified and strengthened and upon us was the flush and glow of learning.

O u r eyes closed for a m om ent to open upon the A u tu m n . of harvest, a season, rich in fru it and b rilliant in color.

T h is w a s the tim e

O f the m any m en w h o

entered third year w ith us, doubtless there are few w h o w ill ever forget it.

We

entered bravely into the realm s of the upper classm en and took up the higher classics o f the L atin and the G reek. to tread.

T h e y say that fo o ls rush m adly in w here angels fear

W e w ere not by any m eans angels, but, despite our rush, tim e proved that

w e w ere not of the other class either. m ystery— Ju nior.

R esu m ing effort w e entered upon a sea of

W e w ere then m en or supposedly m en.

I t w as understood that

w e then took a m ore serious v ie w o f life, but to on e in the third year classroom it did not appear so. It seem ed instead that it w as a tim e w h en y o u th fu l m inds' invented stronger m eans by w hich they could en joy them selves. D o you recall the five inch ruler or the refuse barrel on th e teacher’s desk or the lunchroom signs h u n g around the classroom or the day w h en F ath er R ector w alk ed into the teacher-less class w here pandem onium had broken loose?

B u t it w a s not d uring the periods of M r . H ig g in s, S .J ., or M r . P orter, S .J., that h ilarity ensued.

F or in all our schooling, w e m et in these tw o men tw o of the

finest teachers w e ever had.

It is on ly w ith a sm ile that w e recall the remarks of

M r . H ig g in s “ N o levity, gen tlem en ,” or “ I t ’s all in the book,” or the fam ous saying o f M r . P orter “ H a n g on, boys, hang o n .”

B u t m idst the dry hours o f m odern

languages, w e had the hum orous n itw its o f the class to pep th in gs up, m ixed o ften ­ tim es w ith the jokes o f our professors.

I t w as in this year that Joe F au lk n er w a s art editor for the “ P e t r e a n ” and John Sm ith first distinguished him self as a debater by m aking a place on the Senior team .

T h is w as the year w h en w e first broke into real sports by h aving B ill C o n n o lly and C harlie D o y le on the footb all team and L ou M o o n ey holding dow n the regular first basem an’s job on the baseball team . T h e n there is the m em ory of our great class basketball team , finely coached by M r . H u ll, that ran ram pant over a ll outside team s and that m ade a rep by beating Freshies, Sophs and Ju niors on ly to be beaten by— w e ll, I “kind of fo rg et” that, anyw ay.

B u t third year could not last forever, and indeed w e received enough pleasure from it for tw o years. A n d as I ponder, I see the period d raw in g to a close am idst the final p low in g and gathering and other tests that usually accom pany the busy season of the harvest. T h e seed had fallen upon good ground and as the fru it m atured, this season, as the rest, passed into eternity.

A n d now , w e came to the w in ter,— to the tim e w hen the harvest m ust bear the frosts and colds o f the b iting air and show itself w orth y of the nam e it bore,— Senior, the year o f years. T h a t year that had seemed so far aw ay as w e started school as Freshm en had com e at last. Y es, w e had n ow attained the coveted title and could strut about the corridors looking up to no one except of course, the faculty. B ut, “A ll that glitters is not g o ld .” I t w as not lo n g before w e realized this and, w ith a determ ined w ill, w e buckled dow n to our task, for now the great goal, the aim of everyone w as staring us in the face.

H o w pleasant it seems to be again seated w ith in the portals of the prep, w ith the noble insignia, “ Senior” attached to our door. Father Schm itt, S.J., so w ell know n to us in previous years, assumed his duty as professor of L atin and Greek, and as he sits there, exp lain in g the exploits of A ch illes and A eneas, there returned the vivid recollections of our stru ggle for learning, of our exploits, o f our successes; happy deeds, but lo, on ly memories.

W e w ere seniors, and as seniors, w e became leaders of the school.

W ith pride

w e w atched C harlie D o y le, B ill C onnolly and M a rty Sherry on the gridiron and the fine w ork of M a tty R ooney and C harlie D o y le on the basketball court. B u t our activities w ere not confined to sports, how ever, for alas, the art o f D em osthenes and C icero found m any follow ers in the fourth year classroom. A ll due credit must be given to John Sm ith, w hose m arvelous oratory w on him the distinction of being chosen at St. P eter’s representative in the “ D iocesan ” and the “T im e s” oratorical contests. U n fortu n ately, he placed only th ir d 'in the D iocesan finals, but w ith our w holehearted support, w e expect better from him in the “T im e s” elim inations. John w as not only an orator but proved him self a first class actor in the annual presenta­ tion, “ K in g H en ry I V ,” by playing the part of Jack F alstaff and playing it to perfection. A gain w e proved our superiority in speaking by placing John Smith, Joe Faulkner, Ed Larkin, Jack A rm strong and Joe F itzpatrick on the debating teams. W e did not shirk our literary duties for w e had, as our representatives on the Petrean staff, B ill Roehrenbeck, E ditor in C hief; B ill C onnolly, Joe D oyle, and Joe Fitzpatrick. Indeed, w h at more could be asked of any class?

O u r duties as seniors, however, are not our only recollections. H o w w e laughed to see the “ Paterson H ick s” steam ing along to the Prep in B ill M e e ’s “ancient boiler.” W h a t a joke it w as w hen the old “stove” w asn ’t stew ing right and the poor boys w ere stranded in the w ild s of Jersey C ity. D o you recall w hen fleet-footed A ch illes (alias H en L yon s) became all hot and bothered w hen called down by our librarian. W h a t laughs w e enjoyed w hen M r . M c N a lly , trying to keep us awake in E nglish class, related his m eeting w ith the “Princess of Bourbon” or his travels in Europe. I could go into endless relations, but tim e and space are lim ited, and these few exam ples m ust suffi'ce.

T h e sw iftness of time brought us to the goal. Senior retreat, exams, the outing and then com m encem ent, the biggest day o f all, w hen w e stood on the brink, at the end of our journey, a garden of cultured young men, the product of our untiring and faultless cultivator, St. P eter’s, directed by our w orthy workm en, the faculty.

N o w w e stand here, as the closing m inutes of our career are quickly passing by. T h e settin g sun is casting its flaming rays across the horizon, dim ly outlining before us the road of life that w e m ust traverse. T h en , silhouetted against the dull evening clouds, there pass in review our lost friends, our teachers, our classes, all gone forever. T h en w ith heavy hearts and w ith a lump in our throats, w e begin to pass away. A s w e cast one final glance behind, the last dying ray of the blazing sun reflects itself upon the buildings of the prep and leaves in our hearts, memories, unforgettable, consoling.

T is w ith a sense o f pride and yet a touch o f sorrow that w e recall those pleasant m em ories o f our happy career at th e Prep.

T h ird year found us absorbed in the difficulties of Cicero and G eom etry. H ere C ole distinguished him self by his exceptional know ledge of Physics, taught under the kindly but system atic supervision of F ather Sm ith. A gain our happy days fled, and the exam s m arked the close of our Ju nior year.

In September, w e entered upon our final year at the Prep.

O u r air of superiority

quickly disappeared under the benevolent but firm hand of F ather Q u ilty , S.J., w ho took us through the w anderings of A eneas and the tragic death of Ju liu s Caesar.

M u rp h y ^nd R olzhausen often came to our assistance and solved m any of the com ­ plications of L atin . T h e n again, H erm es w ou ld lighten the dark m om ents of the L atin period w ith his happy laughter.

T rigon om etry as explained by M r . M u llin s w as ju st another conquest for us and, under the paternal tutorship of Father C ollins, w e delved into the mysteries of C hem istry. W h en Coach M eyers issued his call for basketball candidates w e found our class represented by T o m M cF eely , w ho w as overtaken w ith sickness before the season had progressed far and w as forced to abandon the team.

T h ere

is little doubt that if T o m had remained on the team, our final percentage w ould be m uch different.

In February, w e w ere grieved w hen w e discovered the loss of our esteemed friend and classm ate, “ E d ” K elly. D u rin g the year M cG u irk distinguished him self by the com petent m anner in w hich he disposed of the absentee slips.

D u rin g the course of the Spanish class, ably conducted by M r . H iggins, S.J., M ille r and A zza rello

gained

fame

from

their great impersonations of Spanish

characters.

A n d so, as our stay at St. P eter’s draw s to a close, it is; w ith a note of regret but also w ith the brightest of hopes for our future that w e bid farew ell to the Prep and all our friends.

A P P Y days are here again.” T h u s runs a popular tune but it w ouldn ’t be our them e song because our happy days are about to be a thing o f the past. It w as indeed four years of fun-filled days for all of us, w ho succeeded in proving untrue, that old adage “T h ey shall net pass!” A s w e look back to the tim e w hen w e first entered the corridors of the Prep w e m ust pause in retrospection over the copious acquisition of “savoir faire (n.b. our education has not been for n a u g h t). T h e silence which w e maintained as freshmen appears ridiculous to us now , but, at that time, nothing w as so very funny because everything w as new and strange to us.

H ow ever, tow ard the end of that first semester w e became accustomed to the environm ent and became more intimate w ith our classmates. In the second half everyone made resolutions about applying him self more vigorously to our studies (an old Spanish cu stom ), and w e succeeded in m ingling play w ith work, very pleas-

an tly.

It is w ell-k n o w n that anything a freshm an does is not given m uch notice (h e

seldom does m u ch ) and our case w a s in the sam e category, so that the school year passed quietly by, to give w a y to vacation

tim e, lon ged for,

but not in the

same

exuberance o f G ram m ar School days.

Second year is said to be the hardest year of all, and w e looked forw ard to it w ith unpleasant sensations.

W e w ere less in num ber upon becom ing sophom ores,

O f course, sad to say w e lost som e of our happy fam ily, yet there w ere also others to take their place, especially “ M o e ” M o rris (n u ff sed ) w h o m ust have w an ted a better appreciation of V irgil.

O ur knowledge appears meager in­ deed when we consider the broad lanes of learning, lying in wait for us in the College. Confined merely to grammati­ cal instruction and translation of Latin and Greek, we await with eagerness the beauties of the classical languages into which we shall wend our way in St. Peter s College course. JVe shall pass from simple mathematics deep into the p u zzlin g intricacies xof calculus. A nd, above all, as they tell us, we shall surely enjoy our acquaintance with Ethics and N atural Theology, which will train us to have the proper prospective of God and man and, finally, direct us to our final end,— an eternal union with God.

H R E E years are alm ost spent and soon w e w ill be fillin g the cherished place to w hich w e have looked forw ard since our first days at St. P eter’s.

B u t w h y look into the future w hen w e have so m any really

glad things w ith us at present? W e have a class that is capable of doing justice to anything it undertakes. O u r basketball team proved this although

it lacked the support of “ L e fty ” D o n n elly , yet bore evidence of w h at organization and perseverance can do. W e have succeeded thus far in w in n in g all the gam es in our division, and even in the Senior D iv isio n . W h a t could give us m ore happiness than to be able to conquer the lo fty S en io rs!'

P assing over the fact that w e w ere represented on the basketball court by “L e fty ” D o n n elly , “F ran k ” C ronan, and “ M a c ” M cG a n n , w e com e to those w ho represented the class from a scholastic standpoint. C hiefly am ong these are “ B ill” D on ovan , “Jack ” D eck , “T o m ” H ayes, and “ P e t” P etroncione.

T h e class offers sincere thanks to M a g ister D u ffy , F ath er Sm ith, S .J., M on sieur O ’Sullivan, and Senor C ollins, w h o by their u ntiring efforts have thus far succeeded in gu iding us safely through the portals of Ju n ior Y ear.

W e are also indebted to “ H en ry B u rb ig” w h o is none other than M y les Lyons, for m any hearty laughs.

In parting, w e offer congratulations to the graduating class of 1930 w hich has m aintained a name at St. P eter’s, w hich w e, the successors, w ill try to uphold.

D ebating will continue as a main fea足 ture, while the plays of our Thespians w ill still be known throughout the city as drama of the highest type of enter足 tainment. W e may expect, however, our debaters to carry on in their work with more logic and precision and with high足 er powers of expression. Our dramatists w ill delve deeper into their art and come forth producing plays, loftier in theme and more intricate inl plot. So in all ac足 tivities the men of St. Peter s College will continue, always employing the principles imbued here in the past.

and in our defeat w e had the vote of one ju d g e to som ew hat con sole us in our defeat.

In passing, let us say ju st a w ord about our pins representing m em bership in the society.

It is a gold filled m iniature gavel attached to a short chain at the end

of w hich is a G reek B representing “ B ea u d ev in .” I t w as selected as the standard insignia o f the society and in w earin g it every m em ber prides him self as an orator of St. P eter’s.

By the kindness of a benefactor, som e of us have been privileged in hearing several in teresting lectures. W e saw and heard form er Secretary K e llo g speaking on W o r ld P eace, representatives of six nationalities on the v iew s o f their respective countries on this same topic; W a rd en L aw es, of Sing Sing, on P rison D iscipline.

T h e im portance o f fluency in speaking cannot be too stron gly urged. T im e and again as A m ericans and C atholics w e have realized the extrem e im portance of d efen d ­ in g our principles against the fanatical and erroneous opinions of others and it has been w ith this in v ie w that w e have applied ourselves d iligen tly to oratorical study.

W e also realize that th e art o f oral expression is an essential o f personal cu lture and proficiency in this branch w ill never be regretted. So w e feel am ply satisfied w ith our hum ble efforts and w e cannot find w ord s to thank our zealou s m oderator for his patience and forbearance in our behalf.

'H I S year has brought m any im provem ents to the students’ library.

A ll have benefited by the changes that have been made and the little building on the east side of the quadrangle has become a favorite haunt of m any during the recreation periods. O u r circulating library has been augm ented by the addition of several hundred new volum es of fiction and reference. O u r reference room now contains copies of the best and latest en cy­ clopedias. E d ition s of all text books have been acquired and added to our reference library. M oreover, students w ork in g on book reports m ay now conveniently find the book assigned to them , since all w orks recom m ended in the E nglish syllabus for supplem entary reading are now available. T h e library now contains several thousand carefu lly selected volum es, and it is planned to increase the number each year.

T h erefore, n ew book racks have been installed on the third and fourth floors. L et us hope that soon the present accom m odations w ill be inadequate to contain our new books— not to m ention an increase in the number of readers and borrowers, w ho w ill surely patronize our n ew library.

T h e m agazine room still seems to be the m ost popular, especially am ong the under-classm en. H ow ever, the use of this department m ust also be encouraged for it is easily possible to gain a liberal education by a diligent use of our periodical room, w here there may alw ays be had the latest issues of the m ost intellectual pub­ lications o f the day.

A n oth er ad vantage enjoyed by the students this year are the lectures given at regular intervals by the librarian, M . B. D o n n elly .

T h e use of a library, reference

w orks, indices, library system s, etc., are clearly explained and the form ation of literary habits are encouraged. T h ese lectures are given as a supplem ent to the E n glish class and are very h elpful.

A debt of gratitude m ust be paid to the efficient staff w h o assisted in the great ' w ork and w h o generously and con sistently devoted their spare tim e to the im prove­ m ents w hich w ere m uch needed. D a y after day, they labored u n tirin g ly in classify­ in g and catalogu in g volu m e after volum e. So that n o w w e have an up-to-date library, system atized in the same w ay as our great public libraries of N e w Jersey.

N the beginning of the scholastic year, there w as much discussion as to the advisability of a Shakespearean production. It reached its clim ax w hen one supposedly loyal and intelligent student returned his tickets w ith a letter stating that neither he nor any of his friends cared to w itness “K ing H enry I V ,” the play chosen. H e further stated that, until the Stratford Players saw fit to pro­ duce “A M od ern P la y ,” there w as little hope of securing the financial support of the student body. T h ere were several more, equally shallow -m inded, w ho did not express their sentim ents in w ritin g. B u t they, happily, w ere a minority.

M eanw h ile, pleasantly surprising to us on learning of it, there w as a discussion goin g on in the Irish C atholic of D ublin, a paper sim iliar to our C atholic Standard and T im es, between Father G affney, O .P ., and a M r . W ilfred H um e. Father G aff­ ney says:

/

“T h rou gh ou t the w orld there is a m ovem ent to re-Christianize the theatre. N o one w ill deny that in such a m ovem ent the colleges hold a strong strategical impor­ tance., It is hoped that plays w ill be produced w hich have a literary and dramatic quality of scholastic endorsem ent.”

L ittle did w e realize, w hen w e w ere m aking m any sacrifices in giving ourselves up w hole-heartedly to the m em orizing of lines, attending rehearsals day after day, and trudging w earily home at the supper hour, that w e w ere helping to solve a great problem and that our name w as to be heralded across the seas. A nd, yet, so it was.

N Sunday evening, January 5th , the Stratford P la y ers of St. P e ter’s m

J

C ollege H ig h School scored w h a t w a s perhaps their greatest trium ph in recent years w h en they presented Shakespeare’s “ H e n r y I V ” at the M a jestic T h ea tre .

It w as the opinion of m any, w h o have w itnessed

the enacting o f m any Shakespearean productions, that this presentation equalled, if n ot surpassed, the best efforts o f college m en.

A n d so, the S tratford P layers of

1930 have upheld the glorious tradition o f St. P eter’s dram atic society, indeed, they have w on added glory and n ew jew els for her lu striou s crow n.

M r . Joh n M ilto n , as K in g H en ry I V , w orried by the in tern al troubles of his realm , ruled the cou n cil in a proud and im perious m ann er; his sta tely grace and au th oritative tone of voice w ere w e ll b efittin g his k ingly character. B eset by p er­ sonal and political enem ies, his every look and gesture brought ou t his suspicious nature, his quick discernm ent and dispatch o f h ostile courtiers.

In happy contrast

to all this, w as his paternal affection for his elder son w hose recklessness and indis­ cretion he endured w ith kind forbearance.

Y et, this seem ingly scapegrace, H a l, as portrayed by M r . Joh n G regory, w a r­ ranted the upbraiding of his fath er from the ou tw ard sh ow of things.

about unsham efacedly w ith frequenters of tavern houses; associates w ith them in their w ild escapades; perm its him self to be led into the crim e o f robbery; but alw ays, he betrays, w ith an artfu l touch, his tru e noble character, ru n nin g on like an u nder­ current o f pure, w h olesom e w ater beneath a turbid surface. A rtfu lly , too, did this happy-go-lucky, carefree youth portray the sincerely repentent son before the irate father and, w h en put to his m ettle, on the battlefield, the tru e heroic son w orthy of succession to the sovereignty.

In ferior in character to the noble P rince H a l because of his im petuous, rash nature, though no less ably enacted by M r . H a ro ld R u v o ld t, w as H a rry P ercy, the fiery H otsp ur.

H o w eloqu en tly did he plead the cause of M o rtim er?

S till, the

K in g ’s im placable w ill w as u n a ffected ; M o rtim er w as not to be released and H o t ­ spur’s prisoners m ust be delivered up. T h e n fo llo w ed a clever and superb rendition o f the character o f H otsp ur, frettin g and fum ing, his voice becom ing louder and louder as he w axed hot, urged on by the sullen W o rcester played by M r . Jam es C lark.

A t the highest pitch of his incensed hatred o f the K in g, he bursts into scathing denunciation of him, the vile politician, and starts a rebellion a-foot. In keeping w ith the true hum an creation of the P o et of N a tu re interpreting the various m oods o f life, w e find him in his dom estic affairs w ith his w ife , L ad y H otsp ur, gracefu lly perform ed by M r . R aym ond M asella , an ardent lover and gen tle husband. T h en the battlefield, a scene w e shall never forget w here, m ortally w oun ded by the sw ord of H a l, he yields up his proud, heroic soul, and consigns his body to dust and food for w orm s.

One Hundred Forty-three

A nd w here shall w e find terms of praise befitting the incomparable representa­ tion by M r . John Sm ith of that “ roundish rogue and veriest villain beside,” Falstaff.

O h ! w h at a “huge m ountain of flesh” indeed. Y et, how nim bly he carries his great bulk along, and w h at grim aces! Look at him jab Poins in the ribs and his sly w inks!

W h y w h at a sagacious look he has n ow ! N o , he is sm itten w ith remorse. “Y ou lie, you rogue,” h e’s off again on another w ild escapade. H e ’s jub ilan t; no, he’s bordering on despair. W h a t ? H e is not, he’s beginning to sm ile ; no, to laugh, listen to him roar. A nd so on, each mood, brought out w ith a quick yet smoothed transition w orthy o f the greatest artist of the age. A h, “sw eet creature of bombast,” father of “ the hugest drolleries,” lon g shall w e cherish in our hearts your great impersonation that night. H o w John labored for the glory of St. P eter’s' even the uninitiated could discern. Falstaff is the m ost composite of all the composite natures delineated by the im m ortal “ Bard of A v o n .” W h o is this great bulky soldier leading an arm} to battle? ’T is Falstaff. N o coward he; he has led his men “w here they are pep­ pered.” “ B u t the better part of valor, is discretion.” Look, he is dead on the battlefield, killed in the defense of his K in g and C ountry. “I saw him, dead upon the battlefield.” A h, the old counterfeit! Look at his big, round, rosy face rise above his inert bulk. Y es, John, never, w e prophesy, shall w e find in the annals of St. P eter’s anyone to surpass you on that historic night.

M r. Charles O ’Brien played the part of the vivacious Poins in a m asterly way.

T h e keen delight he evinced in teasing Falstaff and his honied w ords in inducing Prince H a l to take part in the robbery w ere w ell done.

T has been the good pleasure of m any readers, no doubt, to see in “T h e C om ­ m o n w ea l,” a com m unication from F a th er Joseph E . S hovlin, of A ll S aints’ C hurch, Jersey C ity, regarding the production o f H e n r y I V by the Stratford P layers o f St. P e te r ’s C olleg e H ig h School. have read the article in the Irish C ath olic.

B u t very few , w e dare say,

I t appears as fo llo w s:

D R A M A IN C A T H O L IC C O L L E G E S F ath er Joseph E . Shovlin, A ll S aints’ R ectory, Jersey C ity, N e w J er­ sey, w rites to tell us that he has fo llo w ed w ith interest the correspondence betw een F ath er G affney, O .P ., and M r . W ilfr e d H u m e in our colum ns on the subject of “D ram a in C olleg es.”

H e sends us a copy o f a letter w hich

he addressed to that able C ath olic W ee k ly , “T h e C o m m o n w ea l,” apropos of the production of Shakespeare’s “ H en ry I V ” by the Stratford P layers of St. P eter’s Preparatory C ollege, Jersey C ity, in a local theatre. T h e play w as very effectively presented, he w rites, as regards scenery and acting, and the w a y it w as received proved that audiences w hich cannot be de­ scribed as “ h ighb row ” cam e to see and to adm ire w h a t w a s “ high in m ind and pure in h eart.” F ath er Shovlin goes on to point the m oral. H e w rites: “A fte r m any years as a director of parish dram atics in w h ich I have seen the valu e of the taste for genuine plays decreasing slo w ly but surely, Saint P eter’s P layers seem to offer a good solution to the problem .” “ C olleges make it their duty to study dram atic classics. T h e ir pro­ fessors are m asters in their w ork . T o them, at least, the theatre-goer looks for an ideal. A n d if colleges present Shakespeare as cleverly as these you ng T hespian s, enthusiasm and encouragem ent w ill be aroused.”

W e have no doubt that perform ances such as those about w hich F ath er Shovlin w rites w o u ld be as thoroughly appreciated and enjoyed in Ireland as in A m erica.

have passed beyond the portals of this discordant w orld to the music heaven of the spheres, he found it, in reality, m erely sleeping, w aiting

for the call of w aking.

A nd m any w ere the generous hearts that responded to the

call and gathered in the new D eb atin g H a ll for the organization of our 1929-1930 O rchestra.

A fte r several w eeks of practise, w e w ere judged to be presentable to the public gaze and hearing.

A nd so, on Saturday afternoon, January 4th, w e made our debut

at the M ajestic T h ea tre at the presentation of K in g H en ry IV .

In due honesty,

how ever, w e m ust confess that, though our you th fu l m inds and fingers are susceptible to great m usical powers under proper training, there w as some dissonance and occa­ sional discord at our F irst P ub lic Appearance. lon g and trying afternoon.

B u t w e stoutly played through a

A fter tw o m onths spent in w in ter quarters, and w hen the fickle gods and goddesses of the seasons w ere deceitfully enveloping the G arden State in a new w arm th, w e blossomed forth at the L oyola-St. P eter’s D ebate only to be nipped in the bud.

B u t now

w ith the true season of spring under w ay, M iracle of M iracles! the

sered plant is w axin g strong and beautiful under the sk illfu l nurturing of Professor J . F . Parm a. A n entire reorganization o f the orchestra w as made on Thursday, A pril 17th, and it w as tru ly gratifying to our Professor J . F . P a r m a . and the Reverend M od erator to see the great number of youthful musicians turn out for this w orthy school activity. W ith such an impetus, w e hope to make a glorious show ing on the nights w hen the P rize D eb ate and P rize Elocution Contests w ill be held.

D IO C E S A N O R A T O R IC A L C O N T E S T H E S T U D E N T S ’ M I S S I O N C R U S A D E , a subsidiary organization of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, held an oratorical contest under the patronage of R ight Reverend T hom as J .

W eisbrod. Its purpose w as to stir up, am ong the students of the H ig h Schools and C olleges of the D iocese, a livelier interest in the w ork of the M issions, and an active co-operation w ith those already laboring in the M ission Field, by their prayers and

r

material support.

A n elim ination con test w as held at St. P e te r ’s C o lleg e H ig h School fo r the purpose o f ch oosin g its representative.

M r . Joh n J . Sm ith , o f 4 A , w a s selected

by the jud ges to represent the School, and M r . H a ro ld R u v o ld t, o f 4 C , w as chosen as an alternate.

Because o f the large num ber of contestants, the D iocese w a s divided into sec­ tions. A ccord in gly, each section held an elim ination contest, that o f our section, H u d son C oun ty, takin g place on M a rch 12th.

M r . J o h n Sm ith w a s ju d ged the best orator and so qualified for the D iocesan F in als.

T h ese w ere held on M arch 2 7 th , and, if one considers the ttally of points, the com petition w as very close.

T h e representatives of St. E liza b eth ’s A cad em y and

Seton H a ll H ig h School, each w as credited w ith 15 points, w h ile our representative, M r . John J . Sm ith, received sixteen points.

Its purpose is to be an aid to greater interest in and respect for the C on ­

stitu tion o f the U n ite d States.

M a n y o f the F ou rth Y ea r students en thu siastically entered the contest and am ong the m any w ritten speeches subm itted, that o f M r . Joseph F itzp atrick , of 4 A , w as adjudged the best. T h en , on the afternoon o f T h u rsd ay, M a rch 2 0 th , the con test­ ants, divided into tw o groups, displayed their oratorical ability in an endeavor to be chosen the representative for St. P eter’s C o lleg e H ig h School.

T h e tw o ablest speakers of either group, M r . Joh n Sm ith, M r . Joseph F it z ­ patrick, and M r . H arold R u vold t, M r . F rederick Johnson, com peted in the Sch ool’s finals. M r . John Sm ith, M r . H aro ld R u v o ld t, M r . Joseph F itzp atrick , and M r .

F rederick Johnson, w ere unanim ously jud ged first, second, third, and fourth, re­ spectively.

O n T h u rsd ay evening, A p ril 3rd, the H u dson C oun ty D istric t S em i-F inals w ere held at the L in coln H ig h School, Jersey C ity. T h e schools represented w ere St. A loysiu s A cadem y, B ayonne H ig h School, Bayonne E ven in g H ig h School, St. M ic h ­ ael’s H ig h School, and St. P e ter’s C ollege H ig h School. M r . John Sm ith, represent­ ing the latter, spoke on “O u r C onstitution , T h e R ealization of D em ocracy” and w as voted “first” by the five jud ges. T h is w as the first tim e in the history o f the C ontest in N e w Jersey that a contestant had w on unanim ously.

T h e H u dson C oun ty D istric t F in als w ere held M on d ay evening, A pril 7th, at the Bay onne Senior H ig h School, and our forensic w arrior again carried off first honors w ith four “firsts,” a “third,” and a “fifth .” This! makes M r . Sm ith eligible to com pete in the sectional finals to be held after “ T h e P e t r e a n ” goes to press.

If all goes w ell, he w ill com pete in the regional contest to be held at T o w n H a ll, in N e w Y ork C ity, on F riday evening, M a y 16th. T h e w in ner w ill qualify for the N a tio n a l Cham pionship at W ash in gton , D . C ., on Saturday evening, M a y 2 4 th ; an event at w hich the judges have alw ays been Associate Justices of the U nited States Supreme C ourt. T h e N a tio n a l cham pion w ill represent the U nited States in the fifth International O ratorical C ontest at W ash in gton on Saturday evening, O ctober 25th , w here survivors from an initial field of tw en ty nations w ill discuss their ow n governm ental principles or institutions.

T h e regional cham pion selected at T o w n H a ll w ill also receive a trip to Europe this summer w ith all expenses paid, $1',000 (th e equivalent of a four years’ college tu ition ) and a gold m edal. T h e second and third best speakers w ill receive $ 5 0 0 and $ 2 5 0 respectively, and gold m edals. Each of the five other speakers w ill receive $ 5 0 and a silver m edal.

T h is year, extem poraneous speaking is being added to the delivery of prepared orations in the sectional, regional, and N a tio n a l contests for the first time. In these contests, the contestants give six-m inute prepared orations, and follow in rota­ tion, after a period of private study, w ith four-m inute extem poraneous talks on im ­ prom ptu topics selected from their ow n chosen subjects. T h e y are judged equally upon both performances.

T o those of us w ho have heard M r . Sm ith’s extemporaneous speeches in the Beaudevin D eb atin g Society, w e feel his success is assured. W ith hearts beating high, w e hail our Cham pion O rator w h o has so gloriously conquered in the local field of battle, and hope and pray he shall fight his w ay victoriously to the In ter­ national Finals, bringing glory and renow n to him self and his dear A lm a M ater.

A touchdow n in the first period and one in the final session enabled the Grand Streeters to dow n the fighting N orth H udson aggregation and give St. P eter’s its first triumph over the O range and B lue on the gridiron since 1919.

O f course there have

been several lapses in gridiron relations between the schools since that time and once the Petreans and the O range and Blue boys played a scoreless tie, but not until recently did the young men from G rand Street w ay come through.

T

tory Saturday, d o w n in g M em o ria l H ig h , last year’s county titleh olders 19-0, at the W e s t N e w Y o rk P laygrou n d s before a large crow d.

In scor­

in g their fourth successive trium ph w ith o u t yield in g the opposition a

sin gle point, the P etreans m ade good use of every opportunity and w o n because of

superior footb all brains.

M em o ria l put up a hard fight and w a s-n o t as badly outclassed as the score w o u ld indicate.

H o w ev e r, the O ran ge and B lack w as unable to stop the sharp scoring thrusts of the Jersey C ity aggregation nor w ere the W e s t N e w Y orkers able to show an yth ing in the w a y o f an attack on their o w n hook.

St. P eter’s scored tou ch d ow n s in all periods but the second, in w hich the battle w a s very even ly fou gh t.

M orris, B oylan and B u ck ley scored the touchdow ns for the

M aroon s. T h e first tw o m entioned played b rilliant footb all throughout. T h e form er w as too fast and speedy for the W e s t N e w Y ork team on off tackle and end runs and m ade m any sizable gains w h ile B oylan proved him self an adept receiver of for­ w ard passes. C aptain R oth as usual played a stron g gam e on the line.

S t. P eter’s lost no tim e, scoring in ju st three plays. A fte r lo sin g ground on one play, M o rris heaved a pretty pass to Shaughnessey w hich gained some 4 0 yards and p ut the ball on the 20-yard line. M o rris then circled le ft end for a touchdow n.

B oylan kicked the goal.

In the third quarter St. P eter’s scored again, and again it w a s M o rris w h o paved th e w a y w ith a p retty run-back o f a kick w hich placed the ball on the O range and B lack 15-yard stripe. B oylan on one play raced off tackle for a touchdow n.

In the final session the P etreans m ade their third tally. S tartin g on their 40-yard line, the M a roon s paraded directly dow n the field for a score. M orris kept o u t­ flanking the W e s t N e w Y o rk w in g s and turned in som e short gains w hich combined w ith sem e sturdy lin e bucking by B uckley and a pass from M o rris to B oylan w hich placed the ball on the one-yard line and then B uckley w en t over. Shortly after, the gam e ended.

A sid e from these brief m om ents W e st N e w Y ork w as not outplayed by any substantial m argin. It w as ju st the ability of the Jersey C ity Irish to strike w hile the iron w as hot, that carried them to such a decisive victory.

H E A V Y M ackenzie School eleven crashed St. P eter’s Prep from the pedestal of the unbeaten elevens at the Passaic Stadium , subduing the

M

M aroon 6-0 in an evenly fought, bruising battle. T h e lone touchdow n of the gam e came in the third quarter as the result of tw o long dashes, w hich covered 55 yards.

N o t only w as it the first setback of the season for St. P eter’s but the game marked the first tim e that the Prep goal line has been crossed by enem y cleats this season. T h e Petreans suffered more than a blot on their record, however. In an effort to stem the tide against a heavier outfit the M aroon team w as badly battered.

C aptain R oth w as carried from the field w ith a sprained ankle. Ryan, M orris and B oylan w ere also badly hurt and the rest of the regular array suffered injuries.

T h e gam e w as pretty evenly fought all the w ay w ith neither side show ing or givin g any quarter. P enalties were num erous and slow ed up the gam e considerably.

N eith er side w as able to gain consistently aside from the one scoring spurt w hich cam e in the third quarter. First dow ns w ere six for M ackenzie and five for St. P eter’s.

M ackenzie scored w ith startling suddenness. T h e N e w Y ork boys had the ball resting oh their ow n 45-yard mark w hen B u tton ow broke loose for a brilliant run around end for 30 yards. H ard ly had the uproar died down fo llo w in g this dash w hen W h ite, a substitute, broke loose and raced over the Prep goal line, a sprint of some 25 yards.

St. P eter’s threatened but once in the pastime, reaching the 23-yard stripe in the second quarter only to be set back by a penalty. M ackenzie also got to the 23-yard line late in the game but St. P eter’s held for downs.

s f C R I P P L E D St. P eter’s Prep football team proved no match for the / pow erful Seton H a ll ballcarriers, and the annual clash between V/ M these C atholic rivals at South O range resulted in a 33-0 setback for the M aroon and W h ite. Coach H einie Benkert’s team scored on a break in the first m inute of play and tallied quite frequently thereafter, despite a game fight on the part of the Jersey C ity team.

Seton H a ll got a great break on the first play of the game. T h e kickoff rolled over the goal line. It w as claim ed that one of the Petreans had touched the ball, and w hen one of the Seton H a ll players fell on the ball it w as ruled a touchdown.

St. P eter’s only threatened once w hen Boylan intercepted a forward pass and ran to Seton H a ll’s 18-yard mark, but the Prep could not gain, and lost the ball on downs. Boylan played a great game for St. P eter’s on the defense, breaking up play after play and pulling dow n several of the Seton H a ll aerials. y

In the third quarter, L in co ln had the ball on the one-yard lin e and fou r dow ns m w hich to m ake th e distance, but the final try fe ll short by a foot.

A n oth er tim e,

the B lu e and W h ite advanced to the three-yard chalk-m ark w ith fou r d ow n s to go and again failed by inches to go over.

In the second period St. P e te r ’s took a chance w ith a forw ard pass on its 10-yard line and this gam ble w h ich proved successful paved the w a y for the first Prep score.

M o r ris h urled a short pass over the lin e o f scrim m age to B oylan w h o caught the L in ­ coln secondaries u naw ares, and raced 60 yards to the 30-yard line before B u dd y B alfou r pulled him d ow n from behind.

B alfo u r, a track m an, prevented a sure touchdow n,

right then and there.

B oylan m ade 12 yards off right tackle, and D o y le picked up 10 at the other tackle to place the ball on the eight-yard line. D o y le w en t six yards around end to the tw o-yard line, and then M o r ris crashed through centre for a touchd ow n .

In the fourth quarter a 30-yard run off tackle by Jackie D o y le gave St. P eter’s another touchd ow n .

A fte r a poor kick had given the ball to St. P e ter’s on L in c o ln ’s

40-yard m ark, D o y le crashed off tackle for 10 yards and then h6 m ade his lo n g spurt to score. L in coln interfered w ith the pass for extra point and it w as aw arded to th e Prep.

T o w a r d the end of the first period a short kick gave L in coln the ball on the P rep 29-yard line. A run by B erhang and short pass, B a lfo u r to D o n o h u e, placed the ball on St. P eter’s 14-yard lin e but again St. P e ter’s held firm and took the ball on dow ns.

Ju st before the h alf ended a forw ard pass for 25 yards placed the ball on the P etrean ’s 11-yard chalk-m ark, but B oylan averted a score by intercepting a pass.

In the third and fourth periods L in coln co n tin u a lly attacked the Prep goal, tw ice com in g w ith in inches of a score but the B lu e could not put it over.

Bayonne w as outclassed in every departm ent and it is quite evident that if the previous gam e had been played later in the season, there w ou ld be a great difference in the score. Bob H a n lon led both teams in- scoring w ith nine points.

St. C ecil ia’s, endeavoring to avenge a previous loss, w as defeated at the Oakland by the score o f 27-24. T h e game w as quite interesting in the second half w hen St. P eter’s, leading at the bell by 19-10, slackened a bit in the third quarter only to find their lead cut to tw o points by a hard fighting E n glew ood team. A t this time G eraghty, w h o had been forced out of the contest earlier in the evening, due to injur­ ies, w as rushed back into the fray and he scored four points to give us our second victory over the C ecilia’s.

St. P eter’s journeyed to South O range and had their w in n in g streak shattered-by the strong Seton H a ll aggregation by the tune of 32-29. T h e superb w ork of the Petrean quintet w as unable to overcom e the shooting of the Setonians. T h e fighting spirit of the Prepsters w as evident throughout the entire gam e but, try as they m ight, they w ere unable to overtake the lead that the Setonians gained against them in the first quarter. D o n n elly and G eraghty w ere the outstanding players for the Prep.

T h e Prep next defeated D em arest in an overtim e period, 23-21. T h e game w as played on our home court and m arked our second victory over the H oboken lads.

T h e gam e w as very exciting and w as featured by some fine playing by Brow n, D o n n elly and G eraghty. St. P eter’s had a com fortable m argin at the third quarter but w ere overtaken by the fighting D em arest team. In the extra period, D onn elly tossed in a left-handed shot and H a n lon sunk a foul to w in the game. T h is game put us in the lead for the county title.

St. P eter’s reached the peak of their brilliance w hen they defeated the allconquering St. B enedict’s team at the O akland by 23-20. St. P eter’s fought an uphill battle all along u ntil the last few m inutes w hen they took the lead and held it to the end to shatter a 33 gam e w in n in g streak o f the G ray Bees. “A team that w o n ’t be beat, can’t be beat,” and this seemed to be the m otto adopted by the Petrean five. F or three periods the Prep doggedly trailed the G rey Bees, but in the last quarter they sw ept into the lead, carrying everything before them. B rilliant w ork

by H an lon and A ndrus and the splendid co-operation of the other players enabled St. P eter’s to em erge on top.

St. P eter’s next traveled to N e w Y ork and defeated the strong X avier Prep of that city. T h e Prep started poorly but led by one point at the half. T h en in the second half G eraghty ran w ild , scoring no less than seventeen points, more than half

the P rep ’s entire to ta l.

X a v ie r continued to fight gam ely, but they cou ld not m atch

the brilliance o f our players.

D o n n e lly played his usual fine gam e at center.

St. P e te r ’s annexed the cou n ty title and brought their season to a close w ith a decisive victory over their ancient rivals, D ick in so n .

T h e final score w a s 2 2 -1 0 , the

H illto p p ers never h avin g a chance, w ere outplayed through out the entire contest.

Ben G eragh ty, captain and forw ard of the P etrean quintet, tallied ten points, as m uch as the entire D ick in son team . that m ade this victory possible.

B u t, it

w a s the all-around playin g

So the curtain

o f our boys

fa lls on another basketball season

b ringing w ith it the county title, after a lapse of a dozen years.

It is quite probable

that n ext year’s team , w ith G eragh ty, D o n n e lly and B ro w n as the nucleus, w ill su c­ cessfu lly defend th eir hard-earned title.
